Lampman sees a new walking path for exercise Lampman residents and town guests are to benefit from a beautiful new walking path.

The Town of Lampman has set up a trail, which starts at the west entrance of the town near the flower bed and ends up at the Elm Lawn Cemetery south of town.

The route was staked for easy access.

The markings will guide walkers through different routes for changing weather conditions and lengths to accommodate everyone.

Town administrator Dena Scott said that the project was in the planning stage several years ago, but never came to be until now.

“It was brought back up because some of our new council members felt this would be a great addition to our community,” explained Scott.

The whole route is six kilometres. The shorter options are about three kilometres.

The walk crosses the swale on the north side of Lampman and the town plans on eventu-

ally adding a bridge there. To ensure trail safety and esthetics, town council members cleaned out the trees and cut the grass in the park for a greater experience with a scenic walk. As time progresses the hope is to develop the path even further.

“The committee is hoping, at some point, to possibly put up signs with historical information about Lampman and the surrounding district along the path,” Scott said.

There will be rest areas along the route with garbage cans for walkers’ use to keep the pathway clean.

“The rest areas will eventually have benches set up along the path and a picnic area with a picnic table,” Scott noted.

The town council has formed a committee to look after the walking path.

“We have established a committee consisting of Jay Jones, Daryle Runge and Randy Fleck from town

council to get things started, but we are looking for community volunteers to help out with ideas and suggestions to make this project a success,” says a RM of Browning and Town of Lampman Facebook post.

Scott added that the town council’s committee is taking care of the walking path now. But they hope that volunteers will soon join the committee to help with upkeep and provide suggestions and ideas on how to improve what they are in the process of establishing.

Council also noted that the newly set path has been used by ATVs and dirt bike riders, which is worrisome as it may affect the quality of the path for runners and walkers.

“We ask that you please refrain from going on the path (on ATVs and dirt bikes).

It is bringing up stones and making it difficult to walk on,” says the post.

“The Town of Lampman is looking into some-

thing for the ATVs and dirt bikes to utilize, so stay tuned for that.”

Further plans for the path are currently in discussion. The project may potentially turn into a year-round activity space suitable for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter. However, no decisions have yet been made.

“Community interest and volunteer help will most likely determine whether it will be a year-round project. If there is interest in utilizing this path for activities such as snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, the committee would look into ways of accommodating this,” Scott said.

In the meantime, the committee is asking the community to take an active role and reach out to the town office at 306-487-2462 or to any of the committee members with any comments or suggestions.

“Being a small community, we are always looking for ways of help-

The new Lampman walking path starts at the west entrance and ends up at the Elm Lawn Cemetery.

Photo submitted ing keep our citizens engaged and interested in the community by providing them with differ-

ent options and opportunities to get out and enjoy our town,” Scott said.

Parent group seeks removal of masks in schools A couple of parents backed by a cadre of about four dozen online supporters made an impassioned plea to the South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s board members to eliminate the current mask mandate.

The mandate was initiated when it was decided it was reasonably safe to send students back to classrooms this past September, as long as a number of health and safety protocols were being adhered to for their protection.

In fact, the first of two presenters to the board on May 19, Jenn Deglau, referred to the

medical styled masking as “inhumane,” while reciting from a series of articles that stipulated there was little evidence of the mask routines actually working and that “kids as super spreaders of the virus, is a myth.”

Masks, she insisted, are generally ineffective since COVID virus particles are so small they can easily transfer through a typical mask.

Deglau questioned why it was logical to allow children to take the masks off to eat or engage in some settings, but they had to be worn in the classrooms. She asked if the school divi-

sion had communicated with public health officials and also asked how children could be expected to learn as they develop fuzziness and dizziness through the course of the school day.

“My son’s mask is wet at the end of the day. It’s a horrible mask mandate and who will say enough is enough?”

Deglau said there are extreme sides being taken in the masking mandate but felt “the truth is found in the middle,” and she doesn’t want to see children undergoing unnecessary anxiety, depression or eating

disorders.

“How many kids are suffering in silence?” she asked.

With summer weather now upon them, she said she feared such things as heat exhaustion and the fear mongering had to stop.

“Parents have had enough,” she said.

She referred to the mechanics of the body that requires cooling down properly after exercising in heat and questioned the validity of wearing masks in an outdoor situation.

“At some point we have to use common sense. Masks come off when siblings play together for an example.

Masks were never a viable solution but rather a social manipulation, and I do not consent to my children wearing masks and we need data from the school division and public health,” she said, regarding mask mandates.

Emily Gillies was the second presenter on the same topic and said she agreed with Deglau’s appeal and added there were certain pressures being applied when it came to the mandate.

She said hand sanitizers are not included in the public health orders and are viewed as a mere deterrent to healthy use for chil-

dren. She said it could be considered child abuse since children return from school with raw and blistered hands.

She also noted that communication from schools and teachers should not be expressions of their personal opinions but rather neutral statements since personal statements come with great influence when it comes to teachers.

There is a subconscious bias to be aware of, she said. Staff members needed to remain neutral and parents receive enough information through the media.

She added that teachers needed to rescind any statements they made regarding personal opinions on the masking mandate.

The policy in general, brought forth by administration and staff to enact the current policy, is in contravention of international statutes, Gillies said, including United Nations bioethics rulings and the International Health Organization along with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

She said the school division held a lot of power and said she understood some employees of the division may be in agreement with the group she was

representing, but they feared to speak up fearing job security.

“I have heard the response that ‘I have to do this to keep my job,’” she said.

“Maybe put your need of a salary on hold and check in as a parent or a person,” she added. “You have university training on children’s health and safety so ask yourself, should you personally be upholding or enforcing policies you believe are wrong?”

Gillies concluded by saying “parents want an end to this mandate.

I hope you hear our voice to make change in the school division.”

In response, chairwoman Audrey Trombley stated the board would call an in-camera session to deliberate the request and added that the entire issue of masks in schools has taken Cornerstone “into unchartered waters,” and there was a desire by all to “come out on the other side of the pandemic safely.”

All parties were wishing for and expecting a return to normalcy in the not too distant future, she said.

Following the presentation, the board issued a statement that a response to the parent delegation would be forthcoming within the next couple of weeks.

Lampman area farmer restores a 75-year-old tractor, and it looks great

By David Willberg

Garnet Jess would have normally spent his winter months vacationing in Mesa, Ariz., with his wife.

But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, that couldn’t happen this year. So he found a new project: restoring a 75-year-old International Farmall M tractor.

“They were pretty big in the States. It’s one of those row crop ones where the … tires are close together in the front,” said Jess, whose farm is east of Highway 47 and north of Highway 361 The tractor was previously located in a slew near Montmartre and Jess said it was seized up; he described it as pretty much a “boat anchor.”

Jess expects it was in the slew for 25-30 years.

The tractor was listed on Kijiji. It had new rear tires, and the owner was essentially looking to sell the tires, not the tractor. Jess bought the tractor for $800, including $600 for the tires.

“He tried to get it to run, and they couldn’t get it to run,” said Jess. “He said ‘It’s seized tight.’

He was right. It was tight. But we monkeyed around, we built a jig that I could actually pull the pistons out from the bottom, and we got them all out and freed up.”

Jess brought the tractor into his shop, tore it all apart, installed new pistons and gave it a complete engine overhaul to get it running again.

“I thought ‘Well, I’ll go one step further.’ I started painting the engine, and one thing led to another, and pretty soon I’m tearing everything apart, sandblasting, restoring and painting, and I bought all new decals and rewired the whole thing,” said Jess.

“I got a little carried away, but it turned out … pretty good for a backyard shop paint job and restoration.”

Jess needed to use a 20-tonne jack just to pull pistons out of the cylinders.

Some of the metal on the hood was dented, which required time to repair. The radiator needed to be fixed as well.

His son-in-law found some six-volt LED lights for the headlights, and those worked out well, Jess said.

He estimates he spent about 300 hours on the restoration.

“There’s a lot of stuff I could not just put a wrench on and take the bolt out. I call it the heat wrench. A lot of it I had to put the torch on and heat the bolt up, because it was rusted, it’s been sitting for so long.”

MEnS LAdiES KidS Garnet Jess restored this 75-year-old tractor over the winter months.

It was previously located in a slew near Montmartre. Photo submitted.

The tractor looks great now that it has been fully restored. Photo submitted Jess is a mechanic by trade, and not a painter. There are some flaws on the finished product that he could quickly point out, but he’s still thrilled with the finished product.

“It turned out really good. And it was fun.”

The project became such an obsession that he couldn’t do anything else in his shop, because he was afraid he might scratch the tractor or cause other damage.

This was the first time Jess has tried something like this, and he’s looking forward to doing another one next year. He already has the restoration picked out – a tractor that belonged to his mother, and has been sitting for 40-45 years.

“My mom is 83 now, and I think she would like to take it for one more ride. So this winter I want to bring it in the shop, and see if I can bring that back to life. But it’s seized badly. Steering blocks are seized, the engine’s seized, the transmission’s seized.

It’s just been sitting outside for 40 years.

“But I don’t give up too easy,

as my wife says, so we’re going to give it a try.”

One person he knows referred to the restoration of the Farmall tractor as a “COVID story,” because if it weren’t for COVID, Jess would have never started working on it, and the tractor would likely still be in a slew.

The tractor has found its way into a showroom again, too. It’s sitting in the Redhead Equipment Showroom in Estevan, but Jess stressed it’s not for sale – he has put in too many hours to sell it, and there’s a lot of money in it, too.

Mike Mar with Redhead Equipment was quick to agree to have the tractor displayed.

At one time, Jess was getting a text message a day about the tractor, some from people he didn’t even know. They told him how great he did, and how good the tractor looks. A lot of old farmers are getting a kick out of it.

“It makes you feel good when you get these texts that people actually do see it and do appreciate it,” said Jess. “There’s a lot of hours restoring it.”

Moe’s sharp vaccine comments are telling

By Murray Mandryk Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said some things this week that were very different in his bluntness.

He spoke to those who aren’t yet vaccinated — especially those who are refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine and are encouraging others not to get it.

And unlike previous occasions when either he or Health Minister Paul Merriman politely suggested getting vaccinated was a matter of personal choice, the Premier didn’t mince many words.

“We’re not asking you to storm the beaches at Normandy,” Moe said.

“All we’re asking you to do is go in and get a tiny needle in your arm.”

Other premiers, like Ontario’s Doug Ford and Manitoba’s Brian Pallister, have been more blunt.

Moe has been more guarded.

Admittedly, it was a tad puzzling in the context of the overall message from Moe and Saskatchewan Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab.

Both again said vaccinations in this province have been a huge success story.

We are at or in the lead among the provinces (the territories are way ahead of the provinces in general) in the percentage of our population vaccinated.

And at his most recent briefing, Moe re-emphasized Saskatchewan’s vaccine success that has seen 80 per cent or more vaccination rates among the 60 years and older age groups and pointed to large weekly percentage increases in younger age categories.

In fact, Moe said he isn’t especially worried about vaccine hesitancy in specific age groups.

His Saskatchewan Party government’s strategy of doling out vaccinations mostly through an age-based system — as opposed to seeking out younger, frontline workers for vaccinations earlier — has drawn criticism. But when it’s come to getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible, it is a system that has been effective.

However, judging by Moe’s concerns, there are new found worries out there about people’s unwillingness — or inability — to get vaccinations.

It would seem rather obvious that the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) drive-thrus are better suited for people with access to vehicles and who have the ability to take time off work to get to those clinics.

The success of those drive-thru clinics in Regina and Saskatoon has been somewhat driven by people driving in from hundreds of kilometres from throughout rural Saskatchewan and willingly waiting in line.

This was a very good thing and has clearly contributed to Saskatchewan’s high vaccination rate.

It also somewhat dispels an “urban myth” that vaccine hesitancy is just a rural problem driven by independent, anti-government rural types. (As one rural resident put it to me: “Those that think that way have never lived in a smaller community where everyone knows everyone else and aren’t shy about saying something.”)

That said, Moe’s remarks last week did also acknowledged newer Canadians and others like some in the First Nations communities (although there have been massively successful vaccination campaigns run by reserves as well) need special attention. Cumulatively, they might be adding up to a big problem for all of us in the COVID-19 fight.

Moe clearly sees resisters as the big problem and appealed to them directly to help end the restrictions he also hates. “I hate it,” the premier said, of those imposing his restrictions. “I look forward to the day it all ends. “But that day can only come when enough of us choose to be vaccinated.”

And right now, Moe’s foremost concerned is those who won’t be vaccinated.

It just might be better than the Olympics

Shelley Luedtke Stick to the plan.

Stay the course. Don’t deviate.

There are things to do and places to be.

I love making plans, especially when heading out on vacations. There are few things more fun than putting schedules together to ensure we get to see and do as much as possible when we’re in a new area. I look for museums, galleries, theatre productions and historic sites.

My husband seeks out the most ridiculous roller coasters he can find.

Fortunately, he enjoys and indulges my love of sports and willingly drives hours to catch a good game.

When you combine my interest in finding unique attractions with his sense of adventure, it has given us some pretty amazing experiences. Cathedrals to camping. White water rafting to the World Cup of Soccer. Go-

Although I could be packed in 20 minutes if I was told I was heading to Italy, I doubt sleeping under the stars would be any more incredible than the memories I have sitting around the campfire with toddlers in my arms gazing at the night sky listening to their daddy tell them the Man in the Moon story.

Yes, my heart would pound through my chest if I was seated in a stadium prior to the start of an Olympic event, yet I doubt it would mean as much as the pulse racing days I experienced watching my girls and their friends compete with absolute joy in the sports they loved.

And the concert in St. Louis? Spectacular.

But it was the other singer sharing the stage that night that led a worship song—just he and his guitar—that caused the tears to come. A moment I didn’t anticipate.

An artist I wasn’t there to see.

The planning is great, but we also need to be open to the unexpected and be sure we allow experiences to unfold differently than we ever anticipated. We just might discover that some of the best things we’ve ever done were ones we didn’t even realize we wanted to do.

That’s my outlook.

park because Mandisa would be performing.

The roller coasters were thrilling and the concert was incredible, but there were other totally unplanned moments that come to mind far more quickly.

To be honest, some of the most special moments of any trip are the ones that are unplanned. Many incredible moments in life are like that.

They aren’t orchestrated, choreographed, or put on a must-do list.

They happen when you step back and simply take them in.

Like the camping trip when our “overnight stop” became our campground home for several days because it was so pretty and the kids were having so much fun. Or the day we decided to forego the sightseeing itinerary in a popular resort area and spent the afternoon sitting at the water’s edge sipping mango smoothies.

I didn’t know how much we needed that until we were there, immersed in it and taken by surprise in the simplicity of the moment.

Or a prayer garden we stumbled across on a travel day. We had many more miles to cover but we decided to stop … to sit … to be still. I will never forget it.

kart tracks to the Indy 500 track. Aquariums to amusement parks.

Beaches to ball games.

We were talking about where we might have gone and what we might have seen had there not been the travel limitations of the past year. It naturally leads to conversations about where we’d like to go once we know we can travel again or destinations we can dream about for the future.

I certainly have thought of the places I’d like to visit and activities I’d like to try. I would love to sleep under a canopy of stars in Tuscany. It would be thrilling to attend an Olympic event. I have a list of artists I’d like to see in concert. More castles I’d like to tour.

Yet I doubt any of those plans could come close to some of the most unexpected moments I’ve experienced when I put the list away and instead let things simply unfold.

We chose a summer destination three years ago based on the Kansas City Royals baseball team’s schedule and a concert in St. Louis featuring a favorite singer.

More correctly, my husband found a new bone shaking roller coaster he wanted to try at Six Flags and sold me on the idea of the theme

It's like a spa day for your four-legged friends

By Laura Kish Grooming is a vital part in the well-being and healthiness of a dog or cat, which can improve its quality of life. Regular grooming helps to ensure the dog or cat is healthy and comfortable.

Brooke Lawrence of Arcola recently registered her pet-grooming business Pepper's Petz.

Lawrence made the decision to become a pet groomer because she really loves animals and it was a career she could do out of her home, set her own hours, and still have time to spend with her kids and husband, Dylan.

"My auntie took the same schooling and I talked to her about it so I made the decision to do it," explains Lawrence. She took a two-year online course with 150 hours of practice time as an internship.

"Due to COVID I was able to do my 150 hours with my auntie instead of a grooming facility," explains Lawrence.

She just finished her final exam last week and is waiting to receive her certificate in the mail.

"I've been grooming for two months now," says Lawrence. "April was booked solid.”

Her two daughters - two-yearold Lyrik and six-year-old Phoenix – love pets as well since they have two dogs and two cats of their own. Phoenix loves to take pictures with the pets that come through for grooming.

"We're big animal lovers," says Lawrence.

Lawrence goes on to say: "Some pets are a challenge if, for instance, they aren't a social animal or they don't like their nails clipped.

Some pets are timid. Sometimes the dog may be terrified."

Although many of the clients insist their dog doesn't bite, she won't take any chances as the dog doesn't know her, so she spends the first few minutes just getting to know the pet and letting them get used to her.

"I prefer working with big dogs," admits Lawrence.

She bathes them, dries them, clips their nails, brushes them, fluffs them up and sends them on their way.

Some cats she's had don't mind at all. They seem to love the attention. It's a great day at the hair salon and spa.

Lawrence has had clients make the drive from as far away as Estevan, Esterhazy, Redvers, Carlyle and Stoughton and everywhere in between. "I love what I do," says Lawrence. "It's nice to be able to work school hours to spend time with my kids."

"I love seeing all the different types of dogs and all their personalities ... even if they're the same breed they're still so different," explains Lawrence.

"It's very satisfying to hear the customer make the comment 'Oh I love it.'"

"It makes me feel so good," comments Lawrence. "It's definitely rewarding...it makes you feel good about what you're doing."

point of tears. But let’s just stop and think about a dog’s life for a moment.

Have you ever done that?

Dogs are communicating all the time. We know their body language when they are happy and content. We know when they are calm and sleeping. We understand their body language when they are excited. We can even tell most times they are afraid. You must admit that some of your dog’s behaviours not only baffle you, but they also drive you crazy. Now we all know that puppies will be puppies and they are at an infant/learning stage

of their lives. This is the time when it is crucial for them to be desensitized to certain things that might cause fear, including other people, other dogs or animals, children, loud noises, and places like the vet and other public areas.

You have been to obedience classes. You have had a trainer come into your home. You have worked through all the activities that should have your dog doing what you would like them to do but instead, they are doing the exact opposite.

You know they know that what they are doing is wrong. It might even

be a behavior they have not done for the first few years of life but have developed it, all of a sudden.

Enter Billy Groom.

The most mind-blowing concept came in the first few minutes of the interview when she said, “It’s not the issue or the behaviour problem that decides the technique or methodology that’s best, it is the dog.”

She went on to explain that “All trainers deal with the same issues.

We all get dogs jumping up on people, leash reactivity, fear aggression, or house training and so on. Operant conditioning

works best when you are encouraging a wanted behaviour or discouraging an unwanted behaviour.

It goes on the platform that the dog does not know right from wrong.

Or a dog that has a personality that they want to do the right thing, but they are just fearful, they want to do what you are asking them to do.”

Groom was very specific in her wording as she said: “The reason operant conditioning sometimes falls short is that the dog knows right from wrong and is choosing to not do it.” It was at that point that I understood that operant conditioning with all of its facets is great as a method, but it will not be appropriate or the best approach for a dog that is choosing to do the wrong behaviour.

Can a dog choose?

Groom explained numerous examples of dog behaviour where in one situation the dog would not know that something is wrong and how operant conditioning would change A9 » ????

Golfing daily keeps Carlyle’s John Pott busy

By Laura Kish “I do a lot of golfing,” says John Pott of Carlyle. “If it’s not raining I’m golfing.”

Pott has been out golfing since April 3 this year. So far this spring he’s golfed 20 9-hole rounds and 19 18-hole games. Not bad for, as he says, “an old guy.”

He says he golfs pretty well every day except one week in April when it got pretty cool.

Pott is a young at heart 82-year-old retired RCMP officer who served for 35 years.

Having been retired since 1992, he had to find something to keep him busy so golf it is.

“I first golfed when

I was 19 but wasn’t serious about it until after I retired.”

Pott was stationed all across Canada and the Yukon and all over Saskatchewan. He came to Carlyle as a corporal many years ago and was stationed here for four years, and since settled back in Carlyle.

“There’s a lot of nice golf courses in the area,” says Pott, who has tried out many courses across Canada.

Pott says he has only ever had one hole in one.

You just have to be lucky to get one of those.

“I’ve come close a lot of times...within 6 or 7 inches...but that’s not a hole-in-one.”

Pott loves golfing

because he says “It gets me out, it’s something to do and it keeps me young.”

“It’s a beautiful 9-hole golf course we have here in Carlyle, and the staff who work there keep it up. The groundskeeper and Terri and her crew are very good there.”

“They should be proud of how well they keep the golf course,” praises Pott.

Carlyle’s course is one of the top 9-hole golf courses in the area and he believes it’s in the best shape of any course in the area.

After retiring at the age of 52 Pott spent a lot of his time volunteering for various things

John Pott. Photo submitted to keep him occupied.

He has been a past provincial president of the Royal Canadian Legion and a campground host at Kenosee Lake, among

other things.

These days golfing is enough to keep him occupied as he golfs with the seniors every day.

“Maybe that’s why

I was suggested to be ‘Golfer of The Week’... because I’m always there,” says Pott with a little chuckle in his final comment.

The club also had a great first tournament of the year on May 23 as a farewell to Gord and Christy Jarvis, as well as raising enough money for the Help Build The

Deck Fundraiser.

The Carlyle Golf Club board organized the 18-hole, two-person best ball tournament with 73 golfers taking part.

It was a rainy and chilly day but everyone showed up to golf and have fun and show their support.

“The score didn’t matter...it was just a fun tournament,” said board member Charity Brown.

“Hats off to the committee,” says Terri Field, manager of the Carlyle Golf Club.

There were raffle prizes, a prize at every hole and also some random prizes on the fair-

way.

Smokies, hamburgers and hotdogs were served at the gazebo.

“It was so unbelievable...I was overwhelmed by the community support that we received,” comments Field. “The donations were wonderful.”

“Everyone would

like to see a deck so this tournament makes it all possible,” explains Field, who added, “that deck is going to get used.”

The new deck should last many, many years to come. The club wishes to give recognition to everyone for donations.

Gordon F. Kells High School Cougar corner Students have been participating in a cohort competition. The next few weeks the gtudent leadership team has organized cohort, socially distanced, paper airplane contests.

Each week is a different challenge: distance, accuracy, and hang time. This week we

also had a Western Day to gain points for our teams.

Helping dogs with behaviour takes times « A6 that behaviour. She used the exact same examples in an older dog where the dog would absolutely know the behaviour is wrong but would do it anyway.

This is where the concept of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy enters the scene. A human being can choose to eat that third and fourth piece of cake knowing it is not healthy. When they know and do it anyway, that is a cognitive function. It is the exact same for dogs. When your dog knows that lifting the lid on the garbage is wrong, but they get in, eat what they want and spread the entire contents over the house anyway, they have totally thought about it.

They chose that action, regardless of the consequences. That is a cognitive choice your dog has made.

“You can always try standard operant conditioning with a behaviour to see if it works. If the dog wants to do the behaviour or needs to be taught the behaviour, it should work. If it doesn’t work, it is not your

fault,” Groom said emphatically. “It is not the dog’s fault.

It is like with children when you have two kids in the same house with the exact same environment and upbringing, values and all of that. One cares that you take away their allowance if they don’t clean their room but the other could not care less if they don’t get their allowance, they don’t want to clean their room and are not going to.”

In both situations, a different approach needs to be taken to discover what is going on.

Cognitive behaviour therapy can be used in both cases because it changes perception to change behaviour.

“It has nothing to do with rewarding good behaviour or discouraging unwanted behaviour, you are looking at the reason for the behaviour,” Groom emphasized.

Why are not all dog trainers trained in both operant conditioning and cognitive behaviour therapy?

Groom has discovered this

methodology in working with thousands of dogs over the past 34 years, first in Toronto and now in Regina. She began to see it work, documented what she was doing and the success and then contacted cognitive behaviour therapists to learn more. Every cognitive behaviour therapist/psychologist she worked with agreed that it works well with dogs when operant conditioning will not.

Dogs can think. They have the genetic makeup to think cognitively (over the age of six months).

So why is this not a common solution?

Mindset is the answer.

Groom has developed the methodology and continues to work with over 150 one-onone clients yearly, but there is only one of her. After contacting many of the influencers she feels would best be able to help her get this into the hands, minds and hearts of dog trainers and dog lovers everywhere – she has been shut down with the resonating idea that dog

trainers will never buy into it.

If it works, why would they not buy in? If it saves one dog from being surrendered and possibly even euthanized because of bad behaviour, why not? What if we could save thousands of dogs? If you and your dog could live a happy, healthy life where you grow relationally and cognitively together, why not?

“Operant conditioning trainers have a hard time understanding that it is not about rewards. Because that is not in their training, they don’t understand and most will say that it can’t work or it can’t be right,” Billy answered my question and went on to say, “It is not that I never use rewards, but I do not rely on rewards, I rely on the skill that the reward has taught. And the skill is transferrable to every situation.”

KNR Courier of Kipling deemed as essential business

By Laura Kish

Futures along with guidance from him," explains Troendle.

Everything has run so smooth since he started this business despite a few down years along the way.

Especially during the downturn of the oilfield there weren't as many deliveries.

"You lose some and gain it somewhere else," he says as was the case during the pandemic picking up for people who didn't want to make the trip to the city.

KNR makes the trip, Monday to Friday, from Kipling to Regina and down to Wawota and back to Kipling which makes for a good 12-hour day.

Construction companies, plumbers, electricians and other tradespeople are some of his regular customers.

"When I first started, 80 to 90 per cent of the freight was coming

When we think of a Tribute to Essential Workers, Justin Troendle of KNR Courier 2013 comes to mind.

How can we get by without a courier service? He's dependable, and we rely on him day after day after day.

Troendle has owned and operated KNR Courier 2013 for the past seven years, although he had worked for the previous owner for quite some time making the Wawota run after his other day job.

The opportunity came up to take over the courier business, so he decided it was time for a change in his career. He says he was in the right place at the right time.

"I enjoy driving," says Troendle, seeing that that's the biggest part of the job.

"Elroy Trithart helped me with a loan through Community

to Kipling but now a lot of the freight goes on to Wawota and area," explains Troendle.

In the summer he makes the odd trip down to Kenosee for deliveries.

Troendle says the smallest package he delivered was one bolt and another was a washer the size of a quarter. The largest package delivered was furniture and the heaviest was a 650-pound part for a dump truck.

He's thankful there was someone at the receiving end to unload that one.

"You never know from day to day what the request will be for a pickup," says Troendle.

Once he hits Regina, he parks the trailer and makes his way around the city for a number of pickups, and hooks back onto the trailer for the trip home.

His cutoff time was 3 p.m. but it's cutting

For that reason he's had to change his cutoff time to 2 p.m. to give him enough time to make all the stops he needs throughout the day and still get back to Kipling by 6 p.m.

It's not all driving around all day. There's a lot of physical work involved with the lifting. He's in and out of the truck so many times during a day's work he wore out the seatbelt buckle.

Troendle explains that he's in and out of the truck somewhere around 50 times on an average day.

He puts on approximately 10,000 to 12,000 kilometres per month, which calculates to 500 kilometres a day. He figures he's clocked around 1.5 million kilometres since he's been running the courier service.

His truck he calls

Old Faithful and has 820,000 kilometres, and his backup truck has 250,000 kilometres.

It's definitely not an easy job to have.

People depend on the courier so much so there's no such thing as 'taking a day off'.

One of the few days the courier didn't run was the day not so long ago when the roads were closed due to icy highway conditions.

KNR takes weekly deliveries to Regina including water samples for the town.

Troendle explains that some customers have sent something with him to have repaired in Regina and he'll bring it back with him that same day.

"The most impressive incident was a couple of years ago was when a farmer in the area ordered a hopper from a fellow in Odessa. They ordered it that morning at 10:00 and

A CEDA COMPANY

the hopper was built that day and I picked it up on my way back to Kipling and the farmer had it at 6:00 that same evening."

Although the physical side of things may be difficult, Troendle says he enjoys meeting all the people. Now that he's been in business for this many years, many of his customers recognize him everywhere.

He's had some of the same customers and has dealt with the same people in the shipping and receiving departments at businesses in the city since he's started.

"I like to have a good relationship with the shipping and receiving guys because I need them to have my orders ready when I get there so I depend on them," explains Troendle.

Troendle considers all of his regular customers as essential businesses.

The farmers of knowledge – teachers

By Jessica R. Ryan When you think about essentials and who they are, you probably think of that nurse that you know, or maybe that friend that works at the grocery store.

There are so many faces, titles and names that come to mind when we think about essential workers, and just as those workers have helped get us through the pandemic, we, as a community, must thank them for being essential.

Teachers fall gracefully and with great purpose into the group titled essential workers, as they are essential not only to our children, but to the community. Teachers are responsible for educating the children of tomorrow. They work with the utmost dedication to create an environment for young minds where they can learn and grow into the best people they can be.

Schools, like every public place, have changed so much over the past 14 months of the pandemic. Students and teachers alike were asked to

work in a completely new and foreign environment. Online learning began as a temporary thing in April of last year. Senior students were graduating and the young ones were finishing up their year online. To say it was different from what most of us had considered “normal” is an understate-

ment.

This recent year has been a year of more chaos and circumstances that never seem to stay the same for too long.

Schools transitioned back to in-class learning, then they were online again for a while, then it was back to in-class learning. Nonetheless, the

ible and willing to implement the new changes while still offering really good programming and giving the students everything they need for their grade level.” says Tyler Fehrenbach, the principal of the Carlyle Elementary School.

“My hope is that we’ll be back to the way we were at the beginning of last year. I mean there will probably be some restrictions still, I don’t know what they’ll be. My hope is that we’ll be back to normal but I have a feeling we’ll be back to ‘more’ normal with some restrictions would be my guess.” says Fehrenbach, when asked what he thinks next year will look like.

Take a moment to look at your children, appreciate their strength that has gotten them so far and will take them even further yet. Take a moment to think of the teachers who have taken the time to foster their growth and education, thank them for all they have done.

To the students and teachers of today and tomorrow, you are doing excellent.

children and teachers have been resilient. They’ve taken all the hits that have been thrown their way in stride.

“It’s been different, but it’s been going really well. The students have been amazing with the new protocols and everything that has been in place. The staff have been flexYOUNG’S EQUIPMENT

Why law enforcement is essential for the community Local and national law enforcement officers across various disciplines put their lives on the line to keep others safe.

Police make many sacrifices, often putting their physical and mental well-being on the line to protect and serve. Since the first recorded police death in 1786, thousands of law enforcement officers have been killed in the line of duty.

A Statistics Canada study released in 2010 found that, with the exception of taxi drivers, police are the most likely Canadians to die on the job.

Unfortunately, hateful and violent crimes against police contin-

ue to make the news.

In recent years, a California University student painted cops as pigs for an art project, while an Atlanta gym and a Brooklyn doughnut shop refused to serve police.

Anti-cop protesters vandalized New York City subways and elsewhere to bring attention to supposed over-policing.

Communities can turn the tides and help the world focus on all the ways individuals can support and thank law enforcement.

Here are some ways to give back. *Stand outside a local police department or courthouse and say “Thank you”

Take your pick of the thousands of flowers at JMK Greenhouse in the southeast

By Laura Kish Pink or purple, short or tall, annual or perennial...JMK Greenhouse has it all.

Mike and Jennifer Kernahan, owners of JMK Greenhouse in Corning, opened for business back in 2000 and are now in their

22nd season.

Not having any formal training and never having even worked in a greenhouse, the Kernahans made the decision to start one up.

Jennifer says they just happened to come across an abandoned greenhouse and decided on the spot "Let's

start a greenhouse!”

They originally started their first greenhouse at the south end of Corning and then added a second, and after a few years, decided they needed more space to go bigger. They purchased the Corning School in 2003 moving their business there and added a third greenhouse and have been operating out of that location ever since.

"We needed the

extra space to bring in trees, shrubs, perennials and such," explains Jennifer.

Jennifer says she starts her planting at the beginning of March with most flowers and vegetables being started from seed, although some flowers are imported and are then transplanted.

The Kernahans have been in the business for over 20 years but they say “It's a learning curve every

"I've started my own peppers and tomatoes in the house prior to owning a greenhouse but that's nothing compared to the thousands of plants I seed now," says Jennifer. "In the petunia department alone I plant at least 10,000 seeds."

The petunia tends to be a plant that almost everyone purchases, as it is a very hardy plant, it's a good filler and it blooms all the time.

Other workhorses include marigolds, snapdragons and daisies, and then are the people who also like their basic vegetables – tomatoes, cabbages and peppers.

Overall Mike calculates that they plant upwards of 100,000 plants every year. Now that's a lot of playing in the dirt.

"I like being here in the spring," says Jennifer about getting things started for the season.

Jennifer says she likes to showcase a new type of flower every year.

The Kernahans have noticed changes over the years with their customers – years

ago they were mostly purchasing plants for flower beds, but in last five years or so customers are leaning more towards the imported flowers and using hanging baskets and pots.

This year seems to be the burgundy and blues that are a big seller whereas some years it was the pinks.

"2020 was probably the best year we've ever had – we sold out," said Jennifer, unsure of whether that had anything to do with the pandemic or not.

"We've had great support from customers throughout the pandemic even though we weren't open to the public," says Jennifer and Mike. "Everything was curbside pickup."

Customers come from a 50-kilometre radius, with some making the trip from Weyburn, Estevan and a few from Regina.

"Our customer base has also changed since we first started with a lot more of the younger generation taking an interest in flowers," says the Kernahans.

"I used to see the moms with their kids A15 » GREENHOUSE

Greenhouse is proud to support the region greenhouse sold a lot of pond plants but recently the demand for trees and shrubs has increased.

Fruit trees are a big seller and many pre-order trees for shelterbelts.

JMK placed their order last October for the 2021 season and found that certain items were already sold out.

Plugs and imports are ordered in December and January and some of those items were already sold out as well.

Jennifer says she likes what she's doing even though she makes the comment “It's not easy work,” but she's thankful for having two good friends who help her out with the transplanting and are often on hand to help out with customers on busy days.

Mike says he likes growing the plants and seeing them advance.

"The most rewarding thing about having a greenhouse is 'our last day,'" she says with a chuckle.

Make the trip out to JMK Greenhouse in Corning ... you'll be glad you did.

"I've had some of the same customers year after year since we started," says Jennifer, who adds, "so we must be doing something right."

JMK Greenhouse also custom plants street hangers and planters for Stoughton, Fillmore and the baskets for the Windthorst Memory Tree, and provides the flowers for Glenavon's flower pots.

She also custom makes colorful planters for weddings and graduations.

JMK Greenhouse donates a fair amount of flowers to various places throughout the season, including Stoughton and Fillmore care homes to brighten up the day.

Students at the Stoughton Central School are building planters for garden beds as a great learning program so JMK will donate vegetables so the students can harvest the veggies in the fall.

Customers seem to go through phases.

Alida weekly news - the flowers will look great Submitted by Edel Cowan I hope everyone had a good long weekend and got to do whatever it was you were planning on doing or getting done. Usually this long weekend in May means camping for many of you, but it may have been on the chilly side this year.

Finally we received the much needed rain that we’ve been hoping for – during the first rain we received 1 1/2 inches and then later on we received another good half an inch – that makes for a good two inches of rain, which was greatly appreciated.

I know my garden and flowers surely need-

ed the moisture and I’m sure there’s many who also needed it. Makes one feel so good to see the moisture and gives one hope that maybe the year won’t be so bad after all.

Just a reminder to let you know that we are still working at the Archives & Library building, trying to get things organized for the next occupant. The Alida Archives will still be housed in the building, on the north side only.

But there is much work to be carried out before we can say that one will be able to come in and look things up in the archives.

Wish us luck – we need a lot of it.

I mentioned that the flower pots have been put up on Centre Street –

hope you have picked one out and now that the long weekend is over maybe one can safely transplant some flowers into them.

And before we know it there will be pretty flowers beautifying our town.

Another reminder for you to get your ticket for the chance to win the Sports Day barbecue package. It can be seen at the post office and tickets are available there as well as at the café and of course on Facebook. The Rec. Board needs your support, and all the support will be appreciated.

Wishing the following a very happy birthday this coming week – Dorothy Desautels, Keagan Patton, Marvin Ferriss, Susanne Steffensen

and Lynette Peet – hope you all have a great day and many more to come.

I understand that the second shot for COVID-19 will be available soon. Hubby is to receive his at the Redvers Pharmasave, hopefully I won’t be too far behind him.

I surely can’t wait to receive this second shot and wait for a couple of weeks for it to take effect and then maybe one can begin to live normally once again.

Also wishing anyone who may be feeling under the weather or even just a bit tough – get well soon and take care.

Please remember folks to keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me

anytime, either call me at 306-443-2496 or text 306-485-8561 or e-mail g.cowan@sasktel.net on the happenings that are

going on in and around Alida as well as within your own family circle.

I will see that your news gets into a paper.

Ceres Global Ag to build US $350 million canola crush plant in the southeast The Government of Saskatchewan is welcoming the announcement by Ceres Global Ag of its plans to build a new US $350 million integrated canola crush facility at Northgate.

“Adding value to agriculture products right here in Saskatchewan will help us reach the goals set out in our growth plan,” Premier Scott Moe said.

“We welcome Ceres Global’s investment in Northgate to support and provide southeast Saskatchewan growers with a unique and valuable option for marketing their canola.

“With its direct connection to the BNSF railroad, Ceres can offer Saskatchewan growers access to a variety of markets in the United States.”

Construction of the new 1.1 million metric tonne canola processing plant at Northgate is expected to begin in 2022 and will increase exports of value-added products via the direct connection to the BNSF Railway adjacent to the United States border.

“With this investment by Ceres, our capacity for value-added production within our province will be furFOR SALE - MISC

the high-quality and reliability that we are known for around the world.”

“This is an exciting time for Ceres Global as we position ourselves to take advantage of the unprecedented demand for oilseed crush in North America,” Ceres Global president and chief executive officer Robert Day said.

“We have been analyzing canola crush at Northgate for several years as its location along the Canada-U.S. border is ideally located to originate canola seed from our farmer partners, and with a direct connection to BNSF Railway, it provides the most efficient access to the U.S. market and U.S. ports.”

Ambitious goals in Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan for 2030 include crushing 75 per cent of the canola produced in the province, growing Saskatchewan’s agri-food exports to C $20 billion, increasing agriculture value-added revenue to $10 billion, increasing the value of exports by 50 per cent, and growing private capital investment in Saskatchewan to $16 billion annually.

In 2013, Ceres purchased 1,300 acres of land at Northgate to construct its commodity logistics hub, which was fully operational by 2015. In September 2020, Ceres acquired the Nicklen Siding grain elevator in Ridgedale.

“Today’s announcement by Ceres is an important step forward in growing our agriculture sector and ensuring our producers are able to keep more value from the commodities they produce,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “We are excited that Ceres has decided to locate their facility in Saskatchewan, joining the growing list of companies who recognize our industry for

Why was the napkin folded?

In the Christian tradition, we’ve just celebrated the Easter season but here’s a detail I’ve never heard addressed: following His resurrection, why was the napkin that covered the face of Jesus in the tomb, folded?

In recording details of His death and resurrection, we’re told that early that Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb only to find that the massive stone covering the entrance to the tomb had been rolled away. Mystified, she ran and found disciples John and Simon Peter.

“They’ve taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb and I don’t know where they’ve put Him…” she cried out (John 20:7).

John outran Peter, and stoop-

ing, he looked in and saw the linen cloth lying with the other funeral garments; when Simon Peter arrived, he went inside where he also noticed that the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.

Here’s the significance: In Hebrew tradition, when the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. Then he would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating. Until then, he would not dare touch that table. Once the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, then would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. It was the signal to clear

the table.

If the master got up from the table, however, folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant knew his master was saying, “Leave it, I'm coming back!'

In these days of confusion, pandemic and horrific warfare, it’s both important and comforting to realize that “the napkin is still folded.” His promise still stands.

He hasn’t forgotten us. Hallelujah!

Voted “Saskatchewan’s Best Place To Buy An R.V.”

God sings us a song when we need it most

By Ken Rolheiser

When I am sad, I sing, and then others are sad with me.

That reminds me of a tongue in cheek remark my oldest brother made when I told him that when I was portraying Judas in the Passion Play, some members of the audience were moved to tears. “Bad acting,” he implied, “can have that effect on people.”

After silence, music comes closest to expressing the inexpressible.

I remember singing through all the Mother Goose nursery rhymes to try to keep a grandchild content when he or she was in that state between hunger and restlessness.

It strikes me that just as the author of the Mother Goose rhymes gives us hope and direction to live the good life and succeed in virtuous strife, so also God gives us music to cheer and inspire us.

Recently as I started preparing the evening lunch, I picked an old favourite disk to accompany me. I ended up delaying supper so I could hear the next Air Supply tune.

Art can express the inexpressible. One word in a favourite hymn moves us to tears and gives credence to the saying: “Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts.” Percy Bysshe Shelley.

When our hearts are young and brittle, we find love songs to soothe us.

The deeper experiences of life are expressed in opera or symphony. Music imitates real life and expresses what words cannot say.

“When two lovers meet in Mayfair, so the legends tell, songbirds sing, winter turns to spring.”

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Music has the power to transform us when we

are down. It is impossible to frown and whistle a tune simultaneously.

Here is an example from real life: “I turned onto the street where my father lives. The closer I got to the house, the more I dreaded seeing him. Since Mom died and he lived alone, Dad was often angry, and lately he was getting more and more confused. Today promised to be worse than usual.

He had a new aid named Liuda, from our home country of Lithuania. The presence of a stranger was bound to make Dad even more irritable.”

The story goes on how Dad started to complain: “This new girl doesn’t know anything.”

Liuda put a Lithuanian folk tune on the turntable. Dad started to sing.

Liuda smiled. When the music stopped, they started chatting in Lithuanian.

(Audrey Razgaitis – from Angels on Earth).

Another example of

the power of music comes to us from Felipe Camacho whose story begins as a confused teen in Philadelphia in the 1990s. He played video games and shared a life with friends who ended up in jail, dead or just failures in society.

One day he was playing a video game that required him to discover a

page of piano music. The 20-second musical clip moved him to tears. He played it over and over.

In his last year in high school, Felipe selected a music elective and found that the 20-second musical clip of Beethoven’s was part of a much greater composition. Today Dr. Felipe Camacho is

a pianist, oboist, classical composer, maestro, chemist and pharmacist.

“Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy, for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts” – Martin Luther.
