Mankota student heads to world’s largest rodeo Kassidy Williamson, a Grade 12 student at Mankota School, has earned a position on the Saskatchewan National High School rodeo team and will be travelling with fellow teammates to Gillette, Wyoming on July 16-22. Williamson will be competing in the 69th annual National High School Finals Rodeo in five different events including barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, goat tying and girl’s cutting. Williamson graduated from the Mankota School in May. She is a familiar figure on the High School rodeo and other rodeo circuits in Saskatchewan and Canada. Williamson is the 2017 champion for the Saskatchewan Rodeo Association in the breakaway roping, goat tying and pole bending. She placed second in Girl’s Cutting and third in barrel racing in the Girl’s All-Around Championship. Other local rodeo athletes who placed in the Saskatchewan High School Rodeo Association rankings are Karli Cowie of Mankota who is fourth in barrel racing, and Chance Switzer of Hazenmore who is ranked second in bull riding and fifth in team roping. NHSFR is a huge event and the world’s largest rodeo that features over 1,750 contestants from 43 states, five Canadian provinces,

including Saskatchewan, and Australia. Entrants are competing for more than $200,000 in prizes as well as more than $350,000 in college scholarships. To be named an NHSFR World Champion in their event, competitors have to finish in the top 20, based on their combined times and scores in the first two rounds to advance to the final round. World champions are then determined based on the three-round combined times and scores. Along with having a chance to participate in world class rodeo competition, Williamson will be able to meet other contestants from around the world and join in the other activities connected to the event. These include sports, contestant dances, familyoriented activities, church services sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys and shopping at the trade show.

High marks for Nelson’s GM technician Travis Sinclair, technician at Nelson GM in Assiniboia, really is the best at his job. Sinclair was recognized on June 9 at General Motors for placing top in his automotive technician class. Darryl Rutledge, instructor from Saskatchewan Polytechnic Institute in Saskatoon, on the right came down to Assiniboia to present Sinclair with a watch and an electronic multimeter used in his technician work in recognition of his achievement. Sinclair was taking the ASEP training, a General Motors program delivered through Saskatchewan Polytechnical Institute. It is unique because it specializes in General Motors’ products. The class included 12 students coming from across the province.
He has completed all the requirements of the GM program and has passed his provincial journeyman’s exam called the Red Seal
Test, to become an automotive technician with a focus on GM products. “Once you pass the course you are fully quali-

fied to start working,” Rutledge said. Not only did Sinclair score the highest marks but he also completed the program in record time. According to Rutledge, the pace of the class is intensive. “Normally, it takes four years to complete, but Travis did it in 14 months,” Rutledge noted. There is also an online line component to the training. Sinclair’s training ran 42 days in Saskatoon. The training is also available in Regina, which is offered by GM dealerships to employees. Sinclair took his achievements in stride. He stated that he has been working for five years now at Nelson GM in Assiniboia as a technician. He heard about the program through the Assiniboia dealership.

Agriculture
Seeding operations are almost complete in southwest Seeding operations are almost complete as 94 per cent of the crop is now in the ground, Saskatchewan Agriculture reported for the week of June 5. This is slightly ahead of the five-year (2012-2016) seeding average of 93 per cent for this time of year, as well as of the 10-year average of 90 per cent. One year ago, producers had seeded 98 per cent of the 2016 crop. Crop growth was progressing quickly thanks to warm weather and ideal soil moisture conditions. With 98 per cent of the crop in the ground, seeding is essentially complete in the southeastern and southwestern regions. The five-year seeding average for the southeast is 96 per cent for this time of year. Scattered showers brought varying amounts of rain to the province. Most areas received trace-to small amounts of rain, although some areas received larger amounts. A significant rain is needed in much of the province to help crops germinate, emerge and to replenish topsoil moisture. There are concerns that crop and hay yields will be severely affected if rain is not received within the

coming weeks. Rainfall varied throughout the region from trace amounts to 29 mm southwest of Moose Jaw. The Limerick and Shaunavon areas reported 8 mm of rain, the Lisieux and Vanguard areas 2 mm, the Mossbank area 1 mm, the Webb area 6 mm, the Swift Current area 12 mm, the Consul area 4 mm and the Tompkins area 13 mm. The Gull Lake area has reported receiving the most precipitation (78 mm) in the region since April 1. Topsoil moisture conditions are rapidly deteriorating in many southern parts of the province. Persistent strong winds and lack of moisture are drying up fields and delaying crop maturity. There are concerns in areas of the southeast that crop and hay yields will be affected if rain is not received soon. Provincially, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as five per cent surplus, 65 per cent adequate, 26 per cent short and four per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil
moisture is rated as five per cent surplus, 53 per cent adequate, 32 per cent short and 10 per cent very short. The Kyle, Swift Current, Shaunavon and Ponteix areas were reporting that 24 per cent of cropland and 38 per cent of hay land and pasture are very short topsoil moisture. Livestock producers have indicated that some hay fields are stunted and prematurely heading out; yields will likely be compromised without substantial rain in the coming weeks. The majority of crop damage this past week was caused by strong winds, lack of moisture, frost and insects such as flea beetles and cutworms. Producers are busy seeding and trying to control weeds when the wind is calm. SaskPower reports that there have been 132 reports this year of farm equipment coming in contact with power poles or lines, with 109 of those incidents happening in May. Producers are urged to be especially careful when using equipment around power lines.
Prices are mixed at Livestock Auction The Assiniboia Livestock Auction held its regular cull cow and bull sale on June 7 with 599 head sold.

Saskatchewan feeder steer prices were reported in all the weight categories over the week except the 300400 lb. and over 900 lb. weight categories. Feeder steer prices rebounded from the previous week increasing between $5.67 per cwt and $12.21 per cwt. The 500-600 lb. feeder
steer weight category had the biggest price gain. On average, feeder steer prices increased by over $9.00 per cwt over the week. Saskatchewan feeder heifer prices were reported in all weight categories over the week except the 300-400 lb. weight category. Feeder heifer prices were higher over the week in all weight categories increasing between $0.75 and $10.25 per cwt from the previous week. The biggest price gain over the week was in the 400-500 lb. weight category. The Saskatchewan 750 lb. feeder steer basis compared to the June 1, 2017, U.S. feeder cattle index at
US$149.80 per cwt was calculated at (+$17.80) per cwt, a basis widening of $1.76 per cwt compared to the previous week. Saskatchewan feeder cattle prices were almost $18 per cwt higher than the U.S. index price. Feeder cattle daily futures prices were higher over the week with nearby contract limit gains on Thursday to help prices move significantly higher, weekover-week. Live daily cattle futures prices were also primarily higher with some price limit gains on Thursday to help prices end the week higher, week-overweek. Prices for liveweight, non-fed cattle in Alberta moved higher over the week. The price of D1 and D2 slaughter cows increased $1.20 per cwt to average $111.80 per cwt, while the price of D3 slaughter cows increased $0.42 per cwt to average $99.67 per cwt. Fed cattle prices for Alberta fed steers averaged $167.91 per cwt over the week, down $2.66 per cwt from $170.57 per cwt the previous week. The live (FOB feedlot) weighted average 5-area (Texas/Oklahoma/New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Iowa/Minnesota) weekly fed steer price in the U.S. was reported at US$136.27 per cwt, up US$4.77 per cwt or 3.6 per cent from US$131.50 per cwt the previous week, and up 5.4 per cent from US$129.29 per cwt the same week a year ago.

Jason’s Agri-Motive celebrates 15 years of business Jason’s Agri-Motive in Lafleche marked 15 years in business on June 9. The celebration opened up the business’s grounds to machinery demonstrations, a pulled pork and hot dog barbecue, face painting, bouncy castles and horse rides by Sue Chandler’s nine-year-old horse Scout. Jason’s Agri-Motive is an official supplier of Oil Depot’s products. Tom Steen and Greg Nichol, owners of Oil Depot, came from Moose Jaw for the anniversary. The anniversary proved a popular event with Lafleche and area residents out to support it. Jason Meyer, owner of Jason’s Agri-Motive, describes his business’s rise from an automotive and agricultural repair and parts and service centre that he purchased from a previous owner and ran by himself and an accountant. Today, Meyer now has a new SGIcertified three-bay service centre, employs seven staff and specializes in farm implements, attachments and accessories. “ D iv e r s i f y i n g h a s helped me grow,” said
Meyer. His biggest expansion has been to the grain bins which brings steady business in this agricultural heartland. “There’s a huge demand for grain bins,” said Meyer. He attributes this growth to producers increasing their seeded acreage over the years. He noticed that his business has developed with the improved prospects in the agriculture sector. The busy season starts in spring and runs right to fall, following the agricultural season. Meyer explained that he sells his products Canadawide from B.C. to Ontario to a wide range of customers from local farmers to the oil industry. Meyer’s product line has grown to offering such products as Big Tex Trailers, Mission Aluminum Trailers, CM Truck Beds and CM Trailers in Saskatchewan. He also stocks a full inventory of implements, ATV trailers, cargo haulers, dump trailers and truck beds as well as heavy equipment, horse, motorcycle, stock, and utility trailers.

Assiniboia grad wins Gov. General medal
Jordan Pomrenke received the Governor General’s Academic Medal at the Medicine Hat College’s annual convocation that took place in the college gymnasium on June 9. Pomrenke graduated from business studies, majoring in accounting and earning his diploma. He grew up on a farm near Assiniboia. Then his path took him to bible school and Guatemala before he embarked on his studies at Medicine Hat College. His time in Central America helping a mission base and children’s home piqued his interest in seeing people and businesses
partner financially with those types of organizations. Pomrenke will continue his studies and now will focus his upcoming Bachelor of Business Administration on entrepreneurship with the goal of starting a business to help support people working in third-world countries. Pomrenke was one of 509 students graduating from certificate, diploma and applied degree programs, with another 181 apprenticeship students completing their studies and convocating at MHC this spring. The morning ceremony saw graduates from the Division of Arts,
Education and Business and the Division of Trades and Technology. The afternoon program graduated students from the Division of Science and Health. Several awards were handed out at the ceremonies including Student of the Year, Instructor of the Year, Governor General’s Academic Medal, which went to Pomrenke, and Honourary Applied Baccalaureate Degree. The Governor General’s medal was created in 1873 to encourage academic excellence across the nation. It is awarded to the student who receives the highest overall average upon graduation.

Robbery at Glentworth Credit Union
Photo by Marusia Kaweski
The Glentworth branch of Lafleche Credit Union was closed for security upgrading after two recent robbery attempts were made. According to Bruce Anderson, CEO and general manager of the Lafleche Credit Union, in a span of time that was just over two weeks the Glentworth Credit Union branch had one robbery on May 17 where cash was taken and one attempted robbery on June 5. The second attempt prompted the closing of the branch to install a better security system and for the protection of the staff. The branch issued a statement that the installation would take approximately one week. Meanwhile, Glentworth Credit Union members can contact the Lafleche Main branch for all financial services until the branch can reopen. The main branch phone is 306-472-5215 or toll free 1-888-472-5215. The RCMP is investigating both incidents.

Living Wage benefits both employer and employee
M
illions of working people struggle to cover the cost of housing, food, health care, childcare and other basic necessities for themselves and their families. The best way for the economic future of our province is for Saskatchewan to become a Living Wage province. If all businesses across the province are encouraged and supported to offer their employees a Living Wage, everyone would have the opportunity to achieve enough money to cover their basic needs. Currently, the minimum wage in Saskatchewan is lower than what is considered to be a living wage for most communities. A living wage is based on the cost of living in a specific community and delivers an income that meets necessary expenditures and allows families and individuals to participate in all aspects of life — be it work, recreation or community activities including education and sport. A living wage reverses the trend of the declining real value of minimum wage and creates a minimum income threshold that more accurately accounts for the cost of living today. Necessities like food, shelter, childcare and transportation are all included when calculating a living wage. This approach generates a wage, which allows for a family to live a healthy and secure life. According to some recent Living Wage reports, a Living Wage in Regina would be $16.46 per hour, while a Living Wage in Saskatoon would be $16.77. A limitation of having a minimum wage, over offering a living wage, is that a minimum wage doesn’t increase the incomes of the lowest income group in our community. Right now, when the minimum wage increases, it actually can push inflation costs onto other families in the community. Based on those employers who have secured their Living Wage certification, these employers have found that implementing a living wage has increased their employee recruitment and retention. A living wage allows families to participate in the social, civic and cultural lives of their communities. They support local business and participate in community events. Most importantly, raising wages is affordable for businesses — as employers are able to absorb the costs of a wage increases through higher worker productivity and lowered administrative costs. Communities across Canada are responding to the increasingly high levels of low wage poverty. There are businesses who have been innovative enough to embrace becoming a Living Wage employer. Especially right now, when many families are ‘burning the candle’ at both ends just to ensure they are making enough to make ends meet — it is time for more businesses to be innovative and bold and consider being a Living Wage employer.
Finding Your Moral Compass Submitted by Pastor Marlin Juell, Oasis Outreach Church We live in a day where the talk of morality is shunned; black is white, good is bad and bad is good. With the technology we have, and the internet, anything goes. Our society teaches, “If it feels good, do it because it can’t be wrong.” I’ve heard so many times when there is a challenge of a morality issue that people opt out by saying “that is just your opinion” so they don’t have to face reality. I think it is time for a social check in. History and all the facts and stats prove where a society fails morally, everything goes with it. Just look at the ancient Greeks and Romans. There needs to be a compass to bring us
back to foundational values that stands the test of time. I am doing my part by writing this article to challenge people to come back to these values: values of purity, honesty, integrity, and respect for mankind. You won’t find this compass in a bottle, or the porno sites on the internet, by taking drugs, or in the arms of another man or woman. It even takes more than warming a pew in church. To find our moral compass, it takes finding God. He already knows where we are. He just wants us to open our heart to Him. Listen, I’m not talking about being perfect. We all make mistakes, but when we have our moral compass calibrated to God’s standards, it will always bring us back on track.

Narcisse holds the professional football record for most consecutive games with at least one reception in every game (216). He is considered one of the greatest players in Roughriders history and one of the leagues greatest receivers. The Friends of the St. Victor Petroglyphs have been around since the early 1990s started by Dave Munro of Assiniboia and interested individuals from St. Victor and Coronach.

and education about the historic petroglyphs at St. Victor. They hold fundraisers to support activities and members pay a small fee to join. The Friends’ latest project was the release of Monarch butterflies on June 3. The group organized a public event where individuals could sponsor a butterfly and release it to raise awareness about the plight of these endangered Monarchs. The butterflies were ordered from the Monarch butterfly farm in Mississauga, Ont. They arrived packed in special triangle-shaped boxes that were cooled. To release the fully-grown Monarchs, the boxes were opened and the butterflies warmed in the sun before flying off to forage. The butterflies will be monitored over the summer. St. Victor has many hotspots with milkweed, the only food source for the Monarch caterpillars. Once the new generation has matured, they will migrate in late summer to Mexico. There, they will overwinter and return to Canada. Saskatchewan Conservancy reports that Monarch butterflies have lost up to 90 per cent of their habitat, both summer and winter.

Obituaries Margaret Victoria Chesney
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Margaret Victoria Chesney (née Curtis) on Monday, June 5th, 2017 at the age of 86 years. Our father recently passed, so with this sadness there is also joy in the knowledge that they are now reunited. Our Mum was born January 6th, 1931 in Constance, SK. She was the oldest of 15 children and spent much of her time helping care for her siblings. She is survived by 5 sisters and 1 sister-in-law. In 1948 she met our Dad and they married on June 16th, 1951. She raised 6 children: Bev (Bob) Hein of Moose Jaw, SK, Linda (Adrian) Raaber of Regina Beach, SK, Shirley (Nakul) Reddy of Calgary, AB, Don Chesney (Roxanne Johnston) of Moose Jaw, SK, Sharon (Ron) Taylor of Cherry Grove, AB, and Gayle (Murray) Feist of Moose Jaw, SK. She was a wonderful “Nana” to 12 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. Along the way she babysat many children in our home and from 1982-1998 worked at the Downtown and South Hill bowling daycares. Her love of children never wavered, even while suffering through the stages of Dementia, a child in the room would always perk her up. She was a strong woman and wonderful mother and will truly be missed by us all. The family would like to thank the staff at Providence Place for caring for her in her final years. In keeping with Margaret’s wishes, a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations in Margaret’s name may be made to The Alzheimer’s Association of Saskatchewan, #301-2550 12th Ave, Regina, SK S4P 3X1. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Todd Sjoberg, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www. moosejawfuneralhome.com

Helen Irene Neff
Helen Irene Neff passed away at the Assiniboia Union Hospital. Assiniboia, SK, on May 20, 2017 at the age of 91 years. She was born December 3, 1925 in Viceroy, Saskatchewan a first child to Ole and Marie Alm. Her father had immigrated from Lillehammer, Norway and her mother from Bergen, Norway. Their home was south of Viceroy in a community known locally as Una. She grew up with three siblings, Gordon who died in 2011, Myrtle who lives in San Francisco, and Walter (Joyce) who lives in Moose Jaw. She also had close ties with her Uncle Chris Lovick’s family who lived close by. She attended school in Viceroy and was an excellent student. After graduating from high school she worked in a local store. She met Norman Morgan Neff and they were married November 26, 1947.They had two children, Barb and Greg. Helen and Norman worked very hard to establish the Neff family farm. Helen took great pride in her home and yard. Everything inside and out was neat and tidy. Every summer her flower beds were ablaze with colour and her vegetable garden kept us all busy and well fed. After seeding was finished Helen and Norman would take their trailer to Banff for a few weeks. Helen loved the mountains and enjoyed the programs provided by the park rangers. They did a lot of camping usually with family which was a fun time. She was an avid reader and always had a book close by. Also, she was a whiz at cryptic crosswords. The night sky was one of her passions, she was an excellent amateur astronomer and could identify constellations, stars, and planets when they appeared overhead. The dark prairie nights made her star gazing an unforgettable experience. Her binoculars and bird books were kept by the kitchen window so she could easily grab them to do some serious bird watching. Humming birds were her favourite and she enjoyed watching their antics at the feeder. Helen devoted her life to her home and family , but the best thing in her life was her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and her great great grandchild. Helen is reunited in heaven with her husband Norman Neff (2014) She is survived by her daughter Barbara Neff (Alan Lizee); son Greg (Nichole) Neff; grandson Warren Neff, great grandchildren Lucas, Logan, Kyler; granddaughter Sherilynn (Brett) BeBeau, great granddaughter Shayna (Shadoe), great grandson Brayden (Morgan), and great great granddaughter Blaike, great granddaughter Ayana; grandson Curtis Neff, great grandchildren Bryce and Kali.

Car seat clinic has safety focus

Parents attended the annual car seat clinic held at the Southland Coop Grocery Store parking lot in Assiniboia on June 6. Two local car technicians checked a total of 16 car seats to ensure that children were secured safely in their car seats, that the child restraint had been installed correctly and that the child restraint met standards. Of the 16 car seats checked, 10 were adjusted, tightened and secured by technicians who explained the process to parents. One was not yet installed and the technician went through the process with a grandparent. One was properly installed but the parent was using aftermarket products such as head huggers, which are not recommended. Two were correctly installed. This year, no children checked were in expired or recalled seats. This clinic was sponsored by SGI and Assiniboia Safe Communities and was an annual event held for the past 10 years. After the check,
the children had cookies and juice provided by the Southland Co-op, as they have done in previous years. The SGI car seat clinics are held throughout Saskatchewan and are designed to help support parents in keeping their children safe. There is no pass or fail with this test. In general, some common mistakes found at car seat checks include: picking the wrong seat for a child’s age, height and weight; installing the car seat incorrectly; not getting professional assistance with the car seat; fitting the harness incorrectly; facing the child forward too soon; not using the tether strap; getting rid of the booster seat too early; not travelling with the car seat every time; allowing children to ride in the front seat too soon; and using the universal anchoring system incorrectly or not at all. For further information on car seats or future clinics call: 306642-2200.

The Great Plains impress at Rockglen ition perfectly captures the emotional complexity of a farm auction. The duo’s professionalism and experience was reflected in the well-crafted concert song sets. The Great Plains performed a smart balance of songs that each of them wrote, as well as a few popular favourites by such musical greats as Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen. The two also smoothly traded off singing lead vocals and duo harmonies. Both Saskia and Darrel created a comfortable rapport with each other on stage and drew in the audience using humour and stories to explain the background for the songs or about their own lives. Although many of their songs were melancholic or had sad themes, the audience remained uplifted and entertained by their smiles and high energy. The duo transmitted to the audience a true enjoyment for performance and crafting songs. The band also performed some songs from their new album, The Holy

experiences. In seeking out his Metis heritage, Darrel composed the song “Gabriel Dumont”. In another song “Down on the Bluebird Trail”, he was inspired by Prairie life recounting a Hutterite girl’s adventure in romance with a boy. The music of Saskia and Darrel should be added to the compendium for Canada 150 because so many of their songs are about the people and stories of ordinary lives in Canada. Their songwriting is remarkable because they possess an acute understanding of the meaning of everyday situations and were able to translate this into song. One of their last songs of the evening’s performance was “Laura’s Kitchen” which Darrel played on a mandolin ordered from the Sears Catalogue in 1963 by a friend named Laura. This song related the food and activities that happened around a country kitchen table, something that audiences understand from their own experiences.

Welcome to the
The Great Plains brought a flawless performance and top-notch songwriting to Rockglen on June 2. The veteran singer-songwriting duo of Saskia and Darrel from Courtney, B.C., now perform under the band name of The Great Plains. They have been touring for 15 years throughout Canada and Europe. It was hard to peg their music which had its own unique flavour created from many musical influences. The audience most enjoyed hearing familiar elements from their lives in song. For example, Darrel writes in one song “O, the Prairie Elevator” about tearing down a country elevator, preserving in music the meaning of this timeless symbol of Saskatchewan. There are not too many songs that include “Pioneer elevator” in their lyrics. The duo debuted their song “The Farm Auction” that features the perspective of a young girl watching her family farm being auctioned off. Set in a melancholic tone, Darrel’s compos-

SaskPower program offers trades experience locally
Photo submitted by Compton Consulting
Students from the Prairie South and Holy Trinity School Divisions will be challenging the industry-recognized 5th Class Power Engineering Certification in June. The 10 students are wrapping up two high school credits, Introduction to Power Engineering 20L and 30L, at schools in these divisions. Assiniboia, Coronach and Gravelbourg Grade 11 and 12 students joined those from Moose Jaw, Central Butte and Avonlea to participate in this career exploration experience. Prairie South saw a need to provide career learning and SaskPower had a need for power engineers. The divisions have partnered with SaskPower to provide a blended learning delivery model that allows
students the opportunity to explore Power Engineering pathways along with other trades regardless of where they live in the province. Each course consists of 5060 hours of online theory and 50 hours of work-study at the Poplar River SaskPower plant and mobile steam lab. Power Engineering 20L is run in the first semester and Power Engineering 30L is run in the second semester. The program is designed to help high school students earn requirements towards power engineering certification. It also introduced them to an active workplace while they build employable skills. There are five levels of provincial certification for power engineers starting from 5th Class up to 1st
Class. This program allows Grade 11 and 12 students in Prairie South School Division to earn high school credits in power engineering and then to challenge the exam for 5th Class power engineers. Once they achieve level five, they can study further and take exams to work their way up to level one. Power engineers are responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of industrial equipment such as boilers, steam and gas turbines, generators, gas and diesel internal combustion engines, pumps, condensers, compressors, pressure vessels and related controls. They are employed in many different industries where boilers are used, such as gas plants, power generating plants, heavy oil and others.

Assiniboia RBC staff donate to Assiniboia Regional Park The Assiniboia’s RBC branch staff spent their Day of Service volunteering to clean up at the Assiniboia Regional Park on May 29. The group worked at the golf course cleaning up the flower beds, planting flowers, pulling weeks and tidying the new trees on the course. As part of the RBC Day of Service program, branch staff volunteer for a project in the local community and make a donation. Jackie Moneo, Regional Park board member, received a $1,000 from Savannah Drouin, RBC branch manager, and branch staff. In the back row, from left, are Debbie Richards, Bailey Ellis and Marla Brandon. In the front row, from left, are Jackie Moneo, Janet Heatcoat, Savannah Drouin and Sharon Schauenberg.
