Producers’ Progress: Moose Mountain Ag Day 2018 Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The 18th annual Moose Mountain Ag Day in Arcola coincided with both provincial and national days dedicated to all things agricultural, as producers and suppliers from throughout this corner of the province gathered in Prairie Place Hall on Tuesday, Feb. 13.

There, those in attendance listened and learned from a roster of speakers - which included a keynote address from David Phillips, Senior Climatologist, Environment & Climate Change Canada, part of his Saskatchewan speaking tour.

Moose Mountain Ag Day Chairman Mark Neuman of Frobisher says: “Part of what we are trying to do is to bring new and relevant information that can be used by local producers.

We want to empower producers with new knowledge and cuttingedge information.”

The day opened with a presentation from Lana Shaw, research manager of the South East Research Farm (SERF) near Redvers. Shaw discussed intercropping, a practice involving crop rotation which involves planting different crops together in the same row, or in alternating rows, as opposed to monocropping,

which is the practice of planting only one type of crop on a piece of land.

“It’s something that both conventional and organic farmers are doing,” said Shaw. “It’s es-

pecially useful for midsize farms, which tend to be in a crunch as far as their land base. Intercropping allows them to maximize profit on a smaller piece of land.

And mid-size farms often have more flexibility, so intercropping allows them to extract more money out of each acre.”

Shaw’s extensive presentation was pep-

pered with case studies and numerous realworld examples of intercropping at locations throughout Saskatchewan.

“Some combinations

of crops work really well together,” she said. “For example, there’s some kind of a buddy system with chickpeas and flax.

Friday, February 23, 2018

From Front page - Moose Mountain Ag Day They are two crops that work really well when they’re planted together. They help each other.”

“This is a way that we can take crop diversity to the bank in a meaningful way. It’s promising and profitable.”

David Pattyson, Executive Director of the Upper Souris Watershed Association reminded the audience of the importance of healthy waterways for everyone - whether they are a producer or not - and issued a warning about invasive aquatic species such as zebra mussels.

“Once they’re introduced to a waterway, they’re virtually impossible to eliminate,” he said. “In the upper Souris (River), we have six resevoirs. That’s quite a bit of infrastructure and it would cost the province and municipalities into the upper hundreds of thousands of dollars - or even millions of dollars - to deal with mussels if they got into pipes.”

“I know a lot of you have boats and as producers, this affects you.”

Because of the boat traffic from Manitoba, North Dakota and Minnesota to and from this part of Saskatchewan, Pattyson urged boat owners to be vigilant when returning home from boat trips in those areas, adding, “Get involved with your local watersheds group. They play a huge part in our communities.”

Forage specialist Lorne Klein from Saskatchewan Agriculture spoke about an unlikely discovery - using canola straw as a potential roughage resource.

Klein - who raises bison near Francis, said: “On October 2, 2017, I got a call from a producer. He told me he baled 500 bales of canola straw and I thought: ‘How on earth?’”

“I found out that two producers (baled canola) by accident one forgot to engage

the chopper and the other one had a chopper breakdown.”

“Three days later, I read about three guys in Alberta who had been doing this for years. I’m a forage specialist - I should know this!”

“But I’m excited about this because canola is by far the biggest single crop we grow in the province...But stay tuned, we’re fairly new in this game.”

Ryan Boyd of SG&R Farms of Forrest, Manitoba shared his experiences with grazing mixed species cover crops and relay cropping, which is cover crop seeded with cash crop.

Focusing on the intergration of cash crops, forages and livestock, Boyd said that engaging in these practices on South Glanton Farm’s 2,000 acres led him to conclude that “increasing diversity enhances resilience.”

“Diversity leads to stability,” he added. “Diversity on the landscape - different plants and different niches - leads to a stable situation.”

“The goal is for the farm to provide a flexible, low-stress life that is constantly increasing the health of our land, community and our family.”

“We’re getting there.

It’s a work in progress,” concluded Boyd.

Progress was the theme of Cory Beaujot’s presentation. Beaujot the marketing and communications manager for SeedMaster Manufacturing and its sister company, DOT (www.

SeeDotRun.com) - gave attendees a glimpse into the future of farming with his presentation outlining the DOT autonomous agriculture system, invented by his father, Norbert Beaujot.

The DOT system was a retirement project for Norbert and the family farm near Langbank served as a laboratory for product testing. The DOT system consists of a self-driving U-shaped platform which will fit a seeder, sprayer, land

roller, rockpicker, manure spreader, bale processor and grain cart.

The prototype has already been exhaustively tested on the Beaujot’s Langbank-area farm and this year, a limited release is planned for select farms to use. Following that, production will ramp up and distribution will be broadened.

Beaujot said that the power platform has a myriad of advantages for farmers.

“The power platform can be adapted to facilitate other implements, so there’s more value and efficiency right there,” he said.

“DOT is also scalable to both smaller and larger farming operations.”

“Even things like oil filters are standardized.”

“The advantages of using an autonomous system like DOT are many,” he added.

“To name a few, there are lower capital costs with power platforms and implements, lower fuel usage, lower labour costs, higher levels of precision farming, better data collection linking all operations, more timely completion of jobs on the farm and longer safe operating hours, because there is no operator fatigue.”

“DOT also allows farmers to extend their careers, if they wish,” said Beaujot. “Accessibility issues and age are actually no longer issues with DOT. And in addition to helping farmers participate more fully in family life, on a larger scale, systems such as DOT can bring more high-tech jobs to rural areas.”

“Farmers have always embraced innovation,” said Beaujot.

“Tractors replaced horses. We have the ability to embrace innovation in the ag industry and as we stand, we’re already semi-autonomous.”

“We’ve launched DOT at AG in Motion in Saskatoon and at Agritechnica - a worldwide show for the agricultural machinery sector in

Keynote speaker David Phillips entertained the audience at Arcola’s Moose Mountain Ag Day with weather facts and fancies. Phillips - who is a Member of the Order of Canada - and a Senior Climatologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, says the only constant for producers when it comes to weather are “challenges and opportunities.”

Germany - and there’s a lot of interest out there already.”

Keynote speaker David Phillips closed out the event, entertaing the audience with weather facts and fancies. A Member of the Order of Canada, Phillips is a senior climatologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. The television personality’s Ag Day engagement was part of his Saskatchewan speaking tour, and he peppered his talk with numerous real-life weather events and oddities from Saskatchewan communities, including Alameda, Lampman and Regina.

Phillips said that the weather scenario for Saskatchewan farmers was a good news-bad news scenario.

“The character of weather has changed,” he said. “There are extremes of weather and they seem to be more volatile.

Everybody’s been hit by this greater volatility - including farmers.”

“Farmers can deal with variabiliy, but still expect some normality. But it’s almost as if normal doesn’t occur anymore. We’ve had some of the driest growing seasons and some

of the wettest growing seasons...And that volatility is the joker in the weather deck.”

“How can we see this variability?” asked Phillips. “We looked at 70 years of (weather records) from the Prairies.We took the 10 driest seasons and the 10 wettest seasons in this part of Canada over 70 years.”

“Over half of them have occurred in the last 17 years and the other half occurred in the early 53 years over the past 70 years,” explained Phillips.

“Since 2000, we’ve had more back-tobacks,” he added. “That is, a really wet year followed by a really dry year, instead of more gradual changes.”

“But the future looks good for Canadian agriculture,” said Phillips. “Nine billion people in the world must be fed. And in the not too distant future, weather patterns suggest that the weather will be warmer wetter and wilder.”

“There are five countries that are agricultural superpowers and Canada is one,” he added. “In the future, rising temperatures and a longer growing season might mean produc-

ers grow more corn and soybeans than wheat and canola.”

Phillips also gave the audience his “fearless forecast.”

“It’s clear that the current situation demonstrates that this area has been through a long period of drought without adequate precipitation. From November 2016 to January 2018, we haven’t seen drier conditions in Regina, Swift Current and Moose Jaw since the 1880s. We’ve never had a drier period in southern and central Saskatchewan than in these periods.”

“My fearless forecast is that there will be minimal spring flooding and you’ll get on the fields earlier,” said Phillips. “I believe it will be wetter this year than in 2017 and not as hot, and the number of extreme events involving wild weather will occur at a normal rate or slightly below normal.”

Phillips said that the need for accurate weather forecasts - especially for farmers - remains a priority for producers.

“But I’m confident that farmers will adapt, whatever the weather.

They always have and they always will.”

‘Applause’ for Arcola’s Darlene Olsen Arcola’s Darlene Olsen received some recent ‘Applause’ for her fundraising efforts which have raised over $500,000 for Look Good Feel Better (www. lgfb.ca), a charity which helps women deal with the physical and emotional effects of cancer treatment. Olsen has also assisted the Moose Mountain Medical Recruitment Committee and this year, plans to partner the non-profit Arcola Day Care at Creative Tables 2018.

Olsen is featured in the current issue of Mary Kay Cosmetics’ Applause magazine. In an article entitled “What A Difference A Decade Makes,” the publication lauds Olsen’s 10 years of fundraising for ‘Look Good Feel Better’ via Creative Tables for Cancer, calling the annual Arcola event “a unique and heartfelt fundraising effort.”

Olsen - who is celebrating her 39th year as an Independent Senior Sales Director with Mary Kay - insists: “It’s not about me.”

“The world is not about you. It’s not about me. It’s about everyone else. And the only time you’re important

is when you’re helping somebody else.”

“Indeed it is an honour to be recognized for the fundraising that has been done for Look Good Feel Better and also for the past five years for the Moose Mountain Recruitment Committee,” says Olsen. “Thanks to (Applause magazine) from all of our volunteers and myself.”

“I’ve just celebrated my 39th year as a Mary Kay consultant and with 10 years of Creative Tables for Cancer and a few fashion shows we’ve held before then, we’ve managed to raise over $500,000 for Look Good Feel Better,” explains Olsen.

“This has been accomplished by the generosity and support of the local businesses, volunteers, hostesses and individuals who attend Creative Tables. I sincerely want to thank the many, many people who make this event so successful.”

“Without you - none of this would happen!”

Olsen’s efforts on behalf of Look Good Feel Better are longstanding and hands-on, even predating Creative Tables for Cancer.

Tips for travel insurance If you are planning a trip and thinking about purchasing travel insurance, the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) wants you to understand the coverage before you pay for it.

“We’ve all heard the horror stories of people who went away on vacation, something happened and they thought they had medical coverage, but didn’t,” Insurance and Real Estate Director Ian McIntosh said. “We want to make sure people understand their coverage before they get on the plane.”

Here are some tips to consider when purchasing travel insurance: • Purchase the coverage you need - make sure you know what types of coverage you want. There are different coverage options avail-

able and not all of them may be suitable for your needs. Carefully read the policy to understand what you are agreeing to.

• Understand the exclusions and pre-existing conditions clauses – you are required to fill out an application when applying for coverage.

It is your obligation to provide the insurer with an accurate response to the questions. If you have questions about the application, contact your insurance agent or insurer. If you have questions about your medical history, contact your doctor. If you fail to provide the health and medical information requested or provide inaccurate information, your future claim may be denied.

• Read your policy – even though insur-

ance policies and documents may be lengthy and complex, make sure you take the time to read these documents so you know what type of coverage you have and what types of exclusions may apply. If you have questions, ask the provider before you purchase the insurance.

• Understand the claims process – before you purchase insurance make sure you understand the claims process, what is required and who to contact.

Dispute a claim Knowing the process before a situation arises can prevent unnecessary stress.

If your claim was denied by your insurance provider, call them and try and resolve the issue. If you are still not satisfied with the response, contact the OmbudService for Life and Health Insurance in the case of health claims, or the General Insurance Ombudservice in the case of property claims. These organizations provide independent complaint resolution and information services for the insurance industry. Time restrictions might apply, so make sure to ask the OmbudService about limitation periods.

Through their Carlyle office, Dudley & Co. offers a “full range of accounting services,” according to McLean.

Spring runoff expected to be below normal The Water Security Agency (WSA) released the preliminary spring runoff outlook for 2018.

With the dry conditions in the summer and fall of 2017 combined with below normal winter precipitation so far, a below normal spring runoff is expected across southern Saskatchewan this year.

Conditions are near normal across northern areas of the province.

Meadow Lake and the Upper Churchill River Basin is the exception with this region receiving extremely high rainfall in 2017 which created a wetter than normal landscape at freeze-up.

This area is expected to experience normal to slightly above normal spring runoff in 2018.

The summer of 2017 saw extremely low rainfall across a large portion of southern Saskatchewan with record dry conditions in some locations. These conditions continued into the fall where precipitation was also below normal.

As a result, soil moisture conditions were dry at freeze-up and significant wetland storage was available in many areas.

NEWS

Friday, February 23, 2018

The runoff potential could change as there is potentially another 8-10 weeks of winter remaining. However, with dry fall conditions and below average winter precipitation to date, it would take well above average precipitation in February, March and April to produce an above average spring runoff within southern areas of the province.

After spring 2017, most surface water lakes and reservoirs were full or near full; however after extremely low rainfall throughout the summer and fall of 2017, many are now at below average levels.

Some agricultural water supply issues began to emerge in late summer 2017, primarily in the south central areas of the province.

With below or well below normal runoff expected, it is anticipated that these water supply shortages will intensify and expand across southern Saskatchewan.

This could create some water supply issues for municipalities and irrigators if conditions remain dry into the summer months.

As conditions change

and get closer to spring runoff WSA will issue another updated forecast in March.

These include: compilation engagements, review engagements and audits for corporate clients and non-profit organizations, family farm transfers, municipal audits, bookkeeping for companies and individuals and corporate and personal tax returns.

“We’ll eventually be looking at adding more staff,” says MacLean.

“And we also have Rob Nicolay, a lawyer with Bridges & Company LLP in Estevan working here on Mondays.”

Weekly RCMP report 911

Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment will hold a Town Hall meeting in Carlyle Tuesday, March 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Carlyle Memorial Hall.

Staff Sgt. Darren Simons says: “We’re hoping to do three other Town Hall meetings - in addition to the Carlyle event - within the detachment area. We want to hear from our communities about their concerns and we encourage everyone to attend.”

“It is our desire that the RCMP focuses our efforts in the proper direction to meet the expectations of the communities we serve,” explains Simons. “We are hoping that this meeting and subsequent meetings throughout our detachment area will give community members the opportunity to provide input in developing policing priorities.”

“This information will then assist us in meeting the expectations of the communities and citizens we work with to make our communities safer and more productive,” he adds. “We desire true community engagement, ensuring community input is acknowledged.”

Carlyle RCMP responded to several calls from Thursday, Feb. 8 to Thursday, Feb. 15.

Two 911 calls were received this week. One was the result of a computer glitch at an area business. The other call was from an individual (not the business owner) reporting a mechanical problem at a business in Carlyle.

Carlyle RCMP Staff Sgt. Darren Simons says: “I’d like to remind everyone that 911 is reserved for emergencies only. This week, an individual called 911 to advise that a car wash’s doors would not go down. We do appreciate the intent of this call because this is a situation that could become costly for the business owner.”

“However, it was not a life or death emergency situation or a crime in progress, so in a case like this, please don’t call 911.”

“We do appreciate people using the car wash to keep their licence plates clean and visible, but please remember, 911 is for emergencies only.”

Alarms Five alarms went off in error this week. One originated in Carlyle and two each originated in Arcola and Redvers.

Alcohol-related offences Reports of underage drinking at a facility in Carlyle are currently under investigation by RCMP. Assault An assault investigation in Arcola resulted in charges.

An assault in the Carlyle area is still under investigation by RCMP.

In Redvers, an assault is currently under investigation.

Another assault reported in Redvers was deemed to be unfounded by police.

Assistance Carlyle RCMP assisted the Regina Police Service in an attempt to locate a wanted individual. Later, it was determined that this person was not in the detachment area.

Members assisted the Weyburn and Fillmore RCMP detachments by obtaining statements.

Break and enter A break-in occurred at the Redvers Rec. Centre. There are currently no suspects or clues that could lead to an arrest. Carlyle RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance in this matter. Anyone having any information regarding this crime is asked to call the Carlyle RCMP at (306)-453-6707.

A break-in occurred at a business in Redvers.

A break-in at a property in Manor is unsolved at this time.

The property sustained damage to a gate.

Child Welfare Act Carlyle RCMP dealt with two situations involving the Child Welfare Act during this period.

Failure to comply Carlyle RCMP charged an individual from the Arcola area for failing to comply with their release conditions.

This person was held in custody due to the seriousness of their original charges.

ing an individual who failed to comply with their release conditions, which involved a nocontact order. No additional charges were laid.

Members charged a youth for failing to comply with a probation order.

Fraud Staff Sgt. Simons says that incidences of attempted frauds “of all kinds” are resurfacing.

“We’ve had reports of people being threatened by someone saying they’re from Revenue Canada,” he says. “And we’ve also had reports of calls coming from numbers that people don’t recognize. I’d advise everyone not to call these numbers back. If it’s important, they’ll leave a voice mail or find another legitimate way to get in touch.”

“And remember, it’s not a prize if you have to pay to get it. Legitimate companies will spend the time and effort to contact you properly,” adds Simons. “It’s the same thing if someone’s contacting you about an inheritance. A legal representative will find a legitimate way to get in touch with you.”

“Please don’t call these numbers back.

If you don’t keep your curiousity in check, it could cost you.”

Mental Health Act RCMP members provided assistance to local EMS regarding situations involving the Mental Health Act. Mischief In an incident involving property damage, an intoxicated individual was removed from an area residence and lodged in cells until

sober.

Missing person Carlyle RCMP investigated a report of a missing person this week. Members determined that this individual was not missing and was safe.

Obstruction of justice Carlyle RCMP are currently investigating the case of an individual regarding possible obstruction of justice for interfering with a police officer while they were performing their duty.

“If you interfere with a police officer while they are doing their job, you could face criminal charges,” Staff Sgt. Simons. “We all want to help our friends, but when a police officer says: ‘Stop what you’re doing and leave the area,’ then do so.’”

Theft A reported theft under $5,000 in the detachment area was deemed to be unfounded. Police concluded that it was a civil matter.

Traffic offences/Collisions An individual was fined $500 in court for failing to report a collision. Another individual was also fined $500 for failing to report property damage. Staff Sgt. Simons says: “There is no legitimate reason not to report a collision where a vehicle is damaged and/or needs to be towed. We have 24-hour dispatch, so it’s easy to report an accident. Even if there are no injuries involved, accidents involving damage to a vehicle or other property should be reported to police.”

Members made patrols in response to two incidents involving possibly-impaired drivers - one in the Carlyle area and one near Manor.

Three individuals were fined $280 each for using a cellphone while operating a motor vehicle.

Two individuals were charged with failing to wear seatbelts.

RCMP issued just under 20 tickets for speeding this week, with fines reaching a high of $360.

A motorist was fined $580 for not insuring their vehicle.

An individual was fined $230 for failing to stop at a posted stop sign.

Police dealt with several incidents involving drivers who were unable to produce their drivers licences and/or driving without a valid drivers licence. “Put simply, you must carry your drivers licence with you when you’re operating a motor vehicle,” says Staff Sgt. Simons. “The fine for failing to produce your drivers licence is $100.”

Members also issued tickets or warnings for the following: obstructed licence plates, damaged windshields, an inadequate speedometer, non-working tail lights, failure to pull over when approached by an emergency vehicle, inadequate daytime running lights and illegal window tint.

Uttering threats A report of an individual uttering threats from within the detachment area remains unsolved.

Redvers Condo Chatter Submitted by Doreen Holden With the weather staying so cold this past month, the tenants haven’t ventured out too far. There are always lots of cards being played and if you come upstairs any evening there will usually be a game in progress; Penny Game on Tuesday, Crib on Wednesday and Spades on Thursday. Also there is always a puzzle set up and people stop by to try and put in the many pieces.

Recently Neil Dennis celebrated his birthday with many friends; old and new who joined with him for cake and visiting. And this past weekend we had a joint birthday for Blanche Lamotte and Jen Belisle with a large crowd attending and offering their best wishes. Our newest tenants are Neil and Barbara Dennis plus Clarisse Frecon and we hope they are enjoying being part of our “Condo Family”.

Our Snowbirds have gone south; these being Don and Lyla Carlsen, Spence and Janice Sutter and Barb Naviaux.

The Prabhu Family have just returned home from a month in India visiting family and friends.

We welcome them back but it will be a real shock to their system coming home to minus 35!

We were very privileged to host the “Prairie Women on Snowmobiles “last week. There are ten women who ride machines in support of Breast Cancer; this has been going for 18 years since the year 2000. Unfortunately the weather man didn’t provide enough snow in our area so the machines had to be loaded. There were the ten riders, four executive and the pit crew.

They came here to enjoy coffee and lunch, socialize and make a presentation about their Mission 2018. I’m sure they received a large number of donations from those in attendance. They

Quote of the Week...

“I think it’s fantastic. It’s an outstanding game I love the fast pace of it, I love the athleticism of it. It is already a hit in the rest of the world, and I think it’s only a matter of time before Canada really embraces it and loves it.”

- Canadian Curler, John Morris

United States “gun culture” discussion surges again

With another school shooting in the United States, the discussion surrounding firearms has erupted on social media once again with people weighing in on their thoughts surrounding the “gun culture” in the United States.

It’s always a polarizing topic with one side saying that guns Kelly Running don’t kill people anymore than Observer Staff a fork makes someone overweight, while the other side calls for increased restrictions and laws surrounding them.

I’m not sure if I can properly weigh in on the topic, I have written on it before, which has prompted phone calls and conversations with readers in the past. Canada isn’t really comparable to the United States in that we have controls in place to ensure people are educated before they are able to purchase a firearm.

I can honestly see both sides of the argument.

I grew up on a farm around firearms and have my Possession and Acquisition Licence. So, I don’t see anything wrong with people having firearms – rifles and shotguns are used for hunting, .22 rifles mostly for shooting gophers, and handgun target shooting is actually quite a challenge and I enjoy attempting to garner a good grouping near the centre of the target.

At the same time firearms are dangerous in people’s hands that aren’t educated in them – even if people are told not to point the barrel at anyone, even if the firearm is empty, they accidently turn in such a way that the barrel may pass across someone – or in the hands of people who are potentially mentally unstable. When I passed the test and submitted for a restricted licence, that was the big thing the RCMP focused on – would my references be comfortable with me owning a handgun? The application also asked about people you live with and significant others or if you had an ex-husband/wife for them to contact in addition to the references you had to provide. So, before someone was given a licence, the person could be vetted. Is it a perfect system? No. Not all guns are purchased legally in the world, so regardless of the restrictions imposed, it will never be perfect. The problem in the United States, however, is that if the government did decide they wanted to make a change to the process of acquiring a firearm, such as education and creating different levels of education and background checks… there are still all of the weapons in the country already owned by people. Do they just get grandfathered in?

So, although lawn darts killed approximately three children in 10-years and were banned… there’s still lawn darts out there, they just can’t be purchased legally anywhere. The number of lawn darts out there, however, wouldn’t be comparable to the number of firearms. So aside from grandfathering in current owners and having anyone of a certain age go through an education process and background check to be approved to inherit those firearms or else surrender them to the government, there’s nothing that can really be done.

However, in this sense we can kind of compare this to Canada. The long gun registry was a bust.

Maybe someone would register one but have three long guns at home. It wasn’t abided by and couldn’t actually be tracked; it was rebuked. That’s where the issue with trying to change anything in the United States comes; any changes would be rebuked by the majority and like the long gun registry in Canada it’ll be thrown out.

So, we can discuss and say what the United States should do, keep it or change it, it’s a discussion that will simply continue because there’s really no answer one way or the other.

Heart of the Moose Mountains

Now you see them . . . or is it them?

She sings, dances and plays to sold out venues She is Japan’s biggest pop star. And she’s not real.

When a software company released a voice synthesizer in 2007, the character of Hatsune Miku was created as part of its marketing, and soon became a hologram that could sing the songs users created by inputting lyrics and melodies. Fans have written My Outlook more than 170,000 songs that Shelley Luedtke Miku and other holograms perform on-line and on stage. These Vocaloids are described as “A Singer in a Box” and are designed to act as a replacement for an actual singer.

Miku has been hugely profitable for 10 years but is certainly not the only holographic image drawing big crowds or big money. Holograms have been put to effective use in fashion shows, exhibits, theme park attractions and even political protests. But in these cases the images weren’t reflective of real people. They were the design of the technicians and the artists whose talents were called upon to create something new. It gets a bit more complicated when the holograms are of people who are real…but have passed away.

Michael Jackson performed at the Billboard Music Awards six years after his death, thanks to a holographic image. Eleven years ago Celine Dion sang with Elvis Presley in a duet that took months to create at a cost of $100,000. In 2012 crowds were stunned to watch rapper Tupac (who had been dead for 17 years) sing at a festival that hadn’t yet been launched when he was alive.

The technology to bring any artist who has ever lived back to the stage is exciting to some fans. Perhaps you never had the opportunity to see your favorite performer on stage. Well now you can. And the fact that the performer is no longer alive shouldn’t stop you. Or should it?

Recently Whitney Houston’s family cancelled what was supposed to be an appearance on The Voice when they felt the hologram was not yet ready for debut, however there are plans for a series of concerts-concerts by digitally created projections--where there’s no one actually on stage. Will we ever allow

deceased celebrities to rest in peace? Some families who control the estates are the ones investigating options as they see revenue streams dry up. Sending their dearly departed loved one out on tour again could be profitable.

Opera legend Maria Callas is going on tour this spring. She died in 1977. A preview concert impressed many fans and critics, even as some admitted to being unnerved because she seemed so real.

Her digital creators say they can generate songs for her that she never actually sang. It is possible for the world’s most famous soprano to one day be singing rap. Or hip-hop. One wonders what her reaction might be, but she has no control over how her image and talent might be used.

Months, even years, of work go into studying every detail. Make no mistake, this is painstaking artistry combined with digital wizardry. But even the most convincing hologram is still simply an illusion, intentionally blurring the lines between what is real and what is not.

This technology has the capacity to shape political fortunes, too. Narendra Modi, running for Prime Minister of India in 2014 used holograms to get in front of as many voters as possible. 150 mobile units travelled extensively throughout the country to address audiences in more than 1,000 3D rallies. Party spokesman Nirmala Sitaram said in some regions audience members believed Mr. Modi had actually visited. He won.

Clearly this technology can be put to impressive use, but it might be prudent to attach a note of caution. Perhaps there is little difference in a politician addressing an audience by virtual reality than if he or she were to simply tweet out mass statements, but we have the capacity to invoke the image of any past leader and put words in their mouth to deliver to a current audience. Since we are getting decidedly less discerning in what we see and hear, this has the potential to have a huge impact on social and political movements.

As considerable effort and money is put into redefining entertainment, campaigning and even someone’s reach beyond the grave, we are going to need to work just as hard keeping things real as those working to simply make us believe it is. That’s my outlook.

How to be a wedding guest on a budget From wedding showers to engagement parties to wedding ceremonies, the cost of celebrating the couplecan Carla Hindman to-be Director of Financial put a strain Education, Visa Canada on your budget during the summer wedding season. According to WeddingBells Canada, weddings are a $5-billion business in Canada, with more than 160,000 weddings taking place every year and 67% of weddings occurring between June and September.

Are weddings also a financial burden for guests? For a few years in my late twenties, it seemed like as soon as summer hit, I was spending every weekend at a wedding, and spending all my dollars while I was at it! Though I loved celebrating with my friends, between travel and gifts, the pressure from all the partying was putting a strain on my

bank account. If you’re heading to a few weddings this summer, here are some tips to get you through the season without paying the high cost of love: Build a budget: Before wedding season, take inventory of upcoming weddings and build a budget based on your current financial situation. Do you have wiggle room for the extra dollars you may need to fork out on expenses beyond the main event? If not, consider making adjustments to your spending habits leading up to wedding season. Need help building a budget? Practical Money Skills has a calculator that can help you build or even rework a budget.

Wedding Attire: Want to look your best on someone else’s big day? It’ll cost you.

RetailMeNot says that Wedding guests spend an average of $325 for wedding attire, with men outspending women (men spend an average of $334). Don’t be afraid to recycle your outfits. For men, simply changing a shirt and tie combo can make for a

Paws & Claws

quick and less costly new look.

Women can save by exploring dress rental stores with options that will keep them on trend. Another option is to stick with a classic little black dress, but switch up accessories for a different look. If you really want to wear something new, you can make a little extra cash by selling your old suits and dresses at a consignment shop or online. Also, be on the lookout for buy, trade and sell groups on social media sites - often they have gently used attire that could help you celebrate in style.

Wedding Gifts: Wedding gifts can also take a big slice out of your budget. According to the RetailMeNot survey, 54 per cent of Canadians prefer to give cash. But cash is not always king for your budget.

Consider bringing together a group to pitch in for a bigticket item and don’t forget to look for sales while shopping the gift registry. Giving the newlyweds an experience, like a cooking class or a honeymoon excursion, is also a great idea for a present. Most of all

be thoughtful. If your friends have invited you to share their day, hopefully they’ll be more thrilled with your presence than your present!

Travel expenses: Travelling to and from a wedding can be costly. If possible, travel with a group to cut down on fuel and hotel costs. Heading to a destination wedding? A WeddingBells survey estimates that one in four weddings that occur between November and April will be destination weddings. Explore using your rewards or loyalty points on airfare and hotel costs.

Bottom Line: Weddings are expensive, even if you’re not the one walking down the aisle. With planning and budgeting you can enjoy wedding season without breaking the bank.

It’s always a good idea to consult a tax or financial advisor for specific information on how certain laws apply to your situation and about your individual financial situation.

Does my dog have osteoarthritis?

Does your dog seem to have a hard time going up and down the stairs? Does he seem reluctant to play with you, or have you noticed him developing a limp? This could be a sign that your trusty companion has osteoarthritis.

Just like in humans, osteoarthritis in dogs is characterized by an irreversible degradation of joint cartilage — which serves as a shock absorber for the joints — that causes pain and eventually leads to a loss of mobility.

Normal joint wear is often the cause, but obesity and physical strain can lead to dogs developing the disease prematurely.

Tall breeds, such as Labradors, German shepherds, Great Danes and Bernese mountain dogs, are particularly predisposed.

Treatment There’s unfortunately no known cure for osteoarthritis, but there are various ways in which you can help ease your pet’s symptoms. Taking shorter walks and limiting movements that may cause pain, such as jumping, running, and going up and down stairs, are good places to start.

Just remember: it’s still crucial that your dog get moderate exercise on a regular basis to prevent muscle atrophy.

Obesity and physical strain, among other causes, can increase a dog’s risk of prematurely developing osteoarthritis.

What’s more, antiinflammatory medication can be highly effective in reducing pain associated with osteoarthritis. Always make sure to consult with your vet before giving any kind of medicine to your pet.

Finally, in certain cases, massage therapy or acupunc-

ture can help improve the comfort of your precious companion. Something to look into!

Did you know? Contrary to popular belief, osteoarthritis doesn’t just affect ageing dogs.

Young dogs can also develop the disease, which is why regular veterinarian visits are so important.

PureChem Cougars battle in playoffs and provincials

By Kelly Running and Lynne Bell The Carlyle PureChem Cougars clenched the eighth playoff spot in the Big Six League and were up against the first place team, the Carnduff Red Devils. Elsewhere in the league the Redvers Rockets are playing the Oxbow Huskies; the Bienfait Coalers are taking on the Midale Mustangs; and the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings are playing the Wawota Flyers.

Saturday, Feb. 17, was another exciting night at the arena for the PureChem Cougars and the community of Carlyle winning the first game of the series versus Theodore, a $1,000 donation to KidSport, and a shooting contest which had Steve Mossing make approximately 13 of the 20 shots needed to win.

Carlyle Merit Ford General Manager Joel Mryglod says: “We are

so pleased with the turn out at the Carlyle Cougar game on Saturday night.

Not only was it an exciting game to watch, but our ‘Shoot To Win’ was quite exciting as well.”

“With the support of the Carlyle community, we were able to give $1,000 to KidSport and to my understanding this will really make a difference in the lives to some kids in our communities.”

“We love sports; we love our community and we love to get involved.”

“We’d like to thank the Carlyle PureChem Cougars for allowing us to join them Saturday night,” adds Mryglod.

“And from our Merit Ford team to yours, have a safe and successful remainder of the season!”

Big Six Playoffs In their first matchup the Cougars lost in a 2-6 battle – leaving the Cougars with some work to do – which saw

the Red Devils take to an early lead with two goals in the first period.

The second period saw the Red Devils score a power play goal, which was followed by Cooper Fox lighting up the net for the Cougars off assists by Clayton Geiger and Ben Johnstone.

Heading into the third the Cougars lost the momentum they had gained in the second period with an early goal by the Red Devils.

The Red Devils scored a second goal shortly after, but Ben Johnstone answered back with one off an assist by Cooper Fox and Tyler Fleck. The last minute push wasn’t enough however; as the Red Devils confirmed a decisive win with their sixth goal of the night at 2:04.

The Cougars hosted the Red Devils on Tuesday, Feb. 20 – which was after the deadline for this week’s issue.

Provincials The PureChem Cougars were also in a battle with the Theodore Buffalos in the Senior C South Quarterfinal match. Hosting the team on Feb. 17, they turned around and travelled to Theodore on Sunday, Feb. 18.

During the first game in Carlyle, the PureChem Cougars came out on top winning 4-2 after a very physical game. Although Theodore took an early lead with a goal in the first; Carlyle turned it around in the second when Wyatt Garrican earned a goal off an assist by Ben Johnston and Dylan Herzberg. Theodore followed up with a goal in the second, but were held off in the third; while Carlyle capitalized on opportunities.

The PureChem Cougars earned three goals in the third with the first being scored by Mark Shaw off Blair Toms and Clayton Geiger. Team captain, Ben Johnstone, took a shot and scored the third goal of the night off an assist by Mark

Speed thrills: Mixed doubles curling a hit

sports time-out with

Bruce Penton It’s not quite as fast as downhill skiing or luge racing, but mixed doubles curling at the Winter Olympics — played in the Games this year for the first time — caught the fancy of Canadian sports fans because it’s almost like watching a taped version of curling with your finger on the remote control’s fast-forward button.

OK, that’s a little exaggeration, but when Canada’s Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris won a gold medal in PyeongChang with a sixend 10-3 victory over Switzerland in a game that lasted a little over an hour, it brought new fans to the game and prompted some observers to predict that it could be a transformative event.

One of the biggest criticisms of regular curling, of course, is the length of a game. A 10end game among top teams tends to drag, to put it nicely. Turtles and snails on valium move faster than Kevin Koe trying to figure out the right angle to play a crucial shot. Regular curling operates with a time clock, of course, but it’s a favourable clock that rarely presses curlers into speedup mode.

Not so in the mixeddoubles curling. Time is tight. Conversations are brief. Decisions are made quickly. The fiverock, eight-end structure leads to a fast game with lots of rocks in play,

thanks to the event’s special rules. Ready, set, go! No dawdling!

It’s also great for TV, because a full game fits nicely into a small window. Programmers love it.

Each end begins with two rocks prepositioned, one near the four-foot, one out front of the house. Each team is allowed one ‘power play’ per game, meaning the rocks are prepositioned to the side of the ice instead of the middle. Theoretically, it leads to a higher-scoring end and a team finding itself behind will use the PP to try to get back into the game.

Mixed doubles is relatively new in Canada, but it has been a big sport in Europe for the past 15 years or so.

It was enough of a hit in South Korea — and Canada winning gold didn’t hurt — that it is almost guaranteed to become one of the most popular sports in our country in the years ahead.

In this day and age of our supposed need for instant gratification, mixed doubles curling rings that bell. It’s fast, it’s over early, and — hey, it’s curling — so Canada’s pretty darn good at it.

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “When I write the screenplay for the movie about his latecareer comeback, Tiger (Woods) will be 60 pounds overweight, chain-smoking Camels as he waddles the fairways, and having a romantic fling with Tonya Harding.”

• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Philadelphia held its championship parade for the Eagles. Really slow parade, though, because all of the players were riding in overturned cars.”

• Norman Chad of the

Washington Post, on Russian athletes competing at the Olympics in spite of the doping ban: “168 Russian athletes are at these Games, nearly three-quarters the total in Sochi in 2014 and just below the 177 that competed in Vancouver in 2010. It is unclear if any of them voted in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The four-man bobsled features people holding on for dear life as they plunge down an icy track. Or, as we call that in Omaha during winter, ‘carpool’.”

He stuck out because the average resident of Sunrise drives 6 mph in a 45 zone.”

A matter of trust

By Linda Wegner Perhaps you’ve experienced someone pouring out their pain over a past or present indiscretion. Some reasons may include someone who does a lot of talking just to hear themselves talk, others who don’t know how else to deal with the guilt of what they’ve done or said or, someone who simply puts enough confidence in you to share their pain. I realize there may be other reasons but those are the ones with which I’ve been most acquainted. Not to be forgotten, either, is the fact that we may also have been or currently are the one sharing our pain with a trusted friend. In either case, the matter of trust is what makes all the difference in the outcome.

Right from the start, however, I need to say that discernment is essential in deciding whether some information warrants contacting the law or other emergency personnel in or-

der to prevent danger or harm to others. That’s crucial and in reality, another manifestation of love in action.

Moving beyond the caution I’ve just noted, I read something attributed to George MacDonald: “To be trusted is a better compliment than to be loved”. Another quote, one for which I could not find the name of the person who said it, reads:” Never take anyone for granted, especially the one who put trust on you. Just consider yourself blessed to actually have someone that trusts you.”

In Proverbs Solomon puts out this warning (Proverbs 17:9): “He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates the best of friends.” In another instance he’s even more explicit: “Hatred stirs up strife but love covers all sins.” (10:12).

Centuries later, Peter wrote: “Above all, keep your love for one another fervent because

love covers a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:8) Always be worthy of trust!

A day for agriculture is important

By Calvin Daniels Last week Canada’s Agriculture Day came and went with limited awareness and almost no fanfare.

It is perhaps easy to dismiss such days in the era because there are days marking everything from avocados, (July 31), to hotdogs, an effort dating back to 1971. Even important days can be lost as the world begins to tune out the ridiculous.

Agriculture Day is a new effort, one which began in 2017, thanks to the effort of groups such as Agriculture More Than Ever.

Lawrence MacAulay, minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, who participated in the Canada’s Agriculture Day celebration in Ottawa captured the reason that Agriculture Day is one worth marking in this country.

“Our agriculture and agri-food sectors contribute over $110 billion to our economy and generate thousands of quality middle-class jobs in the food processing, transportation and retail sectors across Canada,” he said in a recent release. “Our government has an ambitious plan to grow Canada’s agri-

culture sector in order to meet our target of $75 billion in agri-food exports by 2025.

“At a local level, family farms are the lifeblood for many rural communities; they support small businesses, their children attend local schools and they contribute in many ways to the quality of life in rural Canada.”

MacAulay, used the day as the platform from which he officially launched the six federal programs under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership.

The Partnership is a $3-billion, federal-pro-

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst

Let me help!

Children learn by watching, listening, asking and trying new things. Including preschoolers in household chores can help them learn responsibility and share the family workload. Everyday tasks can be a fun way to spend quality time with your child. They are a better way to help your child get ready for school than worksheets on numbers, letters or words.

Let your child help you around the house and talk about what you

are doing together. Your preschooler may enjoy helping you with: Cooking ~ • Make sandwiches or mini pizzas. Children love to choose fillings and toppings • Choose ingredients for salads or soups. Let them help stir.

• Cut or grate veggies and fruits. Make different shapes.

• Measure and pour ingredients.

• Beat eggs, whip cream or make icing.

• Grocery shopping.

Make a list together.

• Set table.

Washing & Cleaning ~ • Sort clothes into piles of dark and light colours.

• Put socks in pairs.

• Measure soap and put in washing machine.

• Dust or wipe surfaces.

• Put away toys.

• Dry unbreakable dishes and put them away neatly.

vincial-territorial agreement which is expected to help chart the course for government investments in the sector over the next five years.

Developed with input from provincial and territorial partners, as well as industry, federal programs and activities under the Partnership will focus on three key areas outlined in a recent release: *Growing trade and expanding markets ($297 million) - Providing core industry services, such as timely market information and sector expertise to help improve the sector’s competitiveness, growth and adaptability. Advancing and defending international trade interests, as well as improving market development and market access activities to address emerging needs of the sector, and of small

and medium enterprises (SME). This will help expand markets and trading opportunities for the sector. *Innovative and sustainable growth of the sector ($690 million) - Enhancing the competitiveness of the sector through research, science and innovation, and adoption of innovative products and practices, with an emphasis on the environment and clean growth. *Supporting diversity and a dynamic, evolving sector ($166.5 million) - Strengthening the sector by better reflecting the diversity of Canadian communities, enhancing collaboration across different jurisdictions through a new Regional Collaborative Partnerships Program, securing and supporting public trust in the sector, and improving client

services.

“The Canadian Agricultural Partnership reinforces the Government of Canada’s strong agenda for agriculture. These initiatives will focus on priorities such as growing trade and expanding markets, innovation and sustainable growth of the sector, and supporting diversity and a dynamic, evolving sector. These investments will help ensure Canada’s agricultural sector remains a leader in job creation and innovation, and will help achieve our objective of expanding agricultural exports to $75 billion by 2025,” said MacAulay in the release.

Whether the new programming will achieve what is hoped will be determined over time, but importance of agriculture remains, and a day to mark that is a positive.

Brook Biesenthal May 10, 1989 - February 22, 2015 Oh, what would I give to clasp his hand, His dear, kind face to see; To hear his voice, to see his smile, That meant so much to me.

His spirit has fled, his sufferings o’er.

At the fireside he will join us no more.

Sadly missed by grandparents Bruce & Brenda Biesenthal and Dad 41-1 In Loving Memory of Edith Scott who passed away Feb 25, 2017.

They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time or reason Will change the way we feel For no one knows how many times We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt Your so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without.

Love Rod, Dianne, Val, Patti, Vicki, Geni, Carolyn, Linda and Families.

OUR STORY

It all started in 1999, with our founder Jan Stimpson and her quest to find the perfect tee…. Turns out this was a lot easier said than done. Out of this challenge Jan was inspired to create a collection that focused on simplicity and an honest fit. Her mission was to address the needs of every woman regardless of age, shape, size, or style. Therein lay the vision for Sympli, a brand embodying comfort, effortless care and most importantly, an authentic fit that is crafted with everybody in mind. To this day, 100% of Sympli clothing is designed and manufactured in Canada.
