This year, however, the Flyers came back determined. Finishing the regular season in first they held the momentum heading into the semifinal against the Carnduff Red Devils and into the championship series versus the Coalers.

The first game of the series saw a tight battle with Wawota winning in overtime 3-2. The second game, held in Bienfait, showed strength is sometimes in the home crowd as the Coalers won 4-1 over the Flyers.

Treeling tributes: Celebrating life the green way Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

For just over a year, Fairlight resident Mary Anne Donald has been helping her customers mark life’s milestones via her home-based business, ‘Treelings West.’ Donald utilizes both her psychology degree and her love of all things green while running the business with her husband and partner in the venture, Allen “Ajay” Donald.

“It all started with a trip I made to Nova Scotia to visit my friend, Gail Martin,” says Donald. “She lives in Moser River and we’ve been friends since we went to university together in Regina. In 2014, I went out to visit her and I ended up helping her out with her business-’Treelings’, which she formed in 2004.”

“Basically, the bulk of her business is supplying tree saplings to customers to use as gifts for things like wedding favours and guest gifts at other big celebrations.”

“I loved it and once those few weeks were over, I got immersed in the tree business.”

Donald’s ‘Treelings West’ offers the same natural gifts that it’s Nova Scotia branch offers, with tree seedlings or “treelings” forming the bulk of the business.

“We offer a selection of green gifts,” says Donald. “Not only our treelings, but also seed bombs and seed-embedded stationery, such as our gift tags.”

“Seed bombs are just wildflower seeds packed in an earth-friendly medium,” explains Donald.

“People toss them in the air and the idea is that when the seeds disperse, there will be a wildflower meadow effect when they grow.’

“But really, our trees are the backbone of our business. We get the tree seedlings from a supplier in northern Saskatchewan. They’re grown in big flats and they come to me bundled in batches of 15 and wrapped in plastic. They’re packed in a box and shipped to me by bus.”

For just over a year, Fairlight native Mary Anne Donald has been helping her customers mark life’s milestones via her home-based business, ‘Treelings West.’ Donald utilizes both her psychology degree and her love of all things green while running the business with her husband and partner in the venture, Allen “Ajay” Donald. (Photo submitted)

Fairlight’s Mary Anne Donald is proud of the personal touches she provides when she ships treelings to clients throughout Western Canada. “Everything from the tag on the tree to the colour of the ribbon is important,” says Donald. “People have given me the privilege of participating in big life events. I’m participating in a small way but it’s still significant.” (Photo submitted) They’re frozen when I get them, but of course, when I get a shipment during spring, they’re pretty thawed out. I usually buy about three flats, about 1,000 trees at a time.”

“Usually, I only use spruce, but sometimes I might get some pine and fir,” says Donald. “Spruce is versatile and interior spruce-which we use a lotis very versatile. A lot of people request blue spruce and interior spruce has that blue tinge. One of the most important things about supplying trees to different environments is trying to match the soil to the environment where the trees are going to.

I’m always researching what will work in different provinces.”

“With her base in Nova Scotia, some orders are best fulfilled by Gail in Nova Scotia and we’ve found that I’m more of a central point to ship to people in Manitoba, Alberta, B.C., and of course, Saskatchewan.”

Once she receives a shipment of tree seedlings, Donald cares for them by watering them daily and if necessary, trimming them and generally ensuring that their environment is conducive to their survival.

“It’s quite a pleasurable thing,” she says. “And that’s one of the great parts of my job.”

Another part of the job that Donald finds “really rewarding” is the human aspect.

“I will probably never meet most of my customers in person,” she says. “But I’m invited to help them mark the significant milestones in their lives.

It’s a tremendous privilege and responsibility.”

“I’ve supplied treelings for almost any kind of celebration you can imagine,” says Donald. “Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, a bar mitzvah, funerals and a celebration of life that I’ll always remember.”

“We did one where the father loved a certain shade of blue. The family was out of province, so we went back and forth a bit online and I was able to

figure out the right shade of royal blue they wanted tied around the treelings which they were going to plant in his memory.”

“Everyone who attended the service received one and the tags were quite elaborate and beautiful and included a colour photo of him,” she adds.

“There was also a verse which read: “Trees don’t need people. People need trees. Please plant in my memory.”

“I was so happy and honoured to be able to do this for them during a sad time. Everything from the tag to the tree to the colour of the ribbon is important,” says Donald. “People have given me the privilege of participating in big life events. I’m participating in a small way, but it’s still significant.”

“I really feel fortunate. I get a lot of joy preaparing for these life events-whether they’re sweet or bittersweet. Whether it’s preparing for a joyous event like a wedding or a christening-or even a bar mitzvah in Calgary, which I’ve done recently-or a funeral service, I almost feel like I’m invited.”

“I’ll probably never meet most of my customers,” she says. “But I try to care for them in what I do. Sometimes they know exactly what they want, but sometimes, I’ll help them come up with the right words or we’ll work together to personalize the tags and figure out colour schemes.”

“I had a bride who loved the idea of a tag illustration I came up with. The tree tag had an illustration of a tree with a heart carved into it with the couple’s initials, and it was so rewarding for me that she was so happy.”

“I really pride myself on that personal, human touch. It might just be a small part of an event or a life milestone that someone is marking, but I want my customers to be reassured that the part I play is just the way I want it.”

Erica Wilson off to competition in B.C. with Team Saskatchewan – South Kelly Running Observer Staff

It’s an exciting weekend for 12-year-old Erica Wilson of Carlyle, daughter of Jeremy and Sonia Wilson, as she attends a High Performance softball tournament in Surrey, B.C. with the 14U Team Saskatchewan – South.

The White Rock Renegades Ice Breaker Tournament is being held April 1-3. There are a total of 13 teams attending which includes two teams from Saskatchewan, one based in Saskatoon and one based in Regina.

Erica has always enjoyed ball, and has been playing since she was five-years-old starting out in the Learn to Play category with the Carlyle Cougars. She has been playing ever since and has also enjoyed playing provincial ball with the Southeast Squirts, which has been made up of youth from Alameda, Redvers, and Carlyle in the past.

“I really like back catching and playing with friends,” Erica says of the sport.

It was through a friend that Erica found out about the try-outs for the High Performance team and from there was encouraged to try-out.

“There were like 50 kids out for the [14U] try-outs,” Erica remembers. Nervous and excited at each of the try-outs, Erica settled into the atmosphere and did her best.

“Originally they were planning to do one 16U and one 14U team, but they ended up deciding to take a North and South for both age groups,” Sonia explained.

There were two rounds of tryouts, one held in Regina and the other in Saskatoon, which is when it was decided they would put two teams into the competition a Team Sask – North and a Team Sask – South.

During tryouts it was nerve-wracking as people with clip boards timed how fast each girl could throw, hit, and run.

“You only had one chance to do it,” Erica explained as to why she was quite nervous at first.

The first cuts were made that day and all subsequent cuts were made through a website which listed those that were still being considered. When the team roster was finalized a link to the website was

emailed to each prospective player and the girls checked to see whether they had made it or not.

“I was nervous at first,” Erica explained. “I wasn’t sure if I made it or not.”

Upon discovering her name on the list, Erica says she was extremely excited and has been enjoying and learning a lot from practicing with the team under the guidance of Nicole Verot – the Head Coach – and Heather Dzioba – the assistant coach – as well as other trainers who have worked with the team. Team Sask – South took a total of 14 girls with eight from Regina, two from Moose Jaw, two from Lumsden, one from Ogema, and Erica from Carlyle.

Practices were

held in Regina over the winter and Sonia has seen Erica’s confidence improved as a result of Verot’s guidance.

“To me it’s been worth every penny, Nicole has really taught them confidence,” Sonia explained. “She’s told them if they make a mistake that they have three seconds to admit they made a mistake, see how to fix it, and forget about it.”

Erica is participating as a back catcher and has been learning about becoming slapper when at bat.

“It takes me three seconds to run to first base, so if I hit lefthanded I’m closer and can be faster getting there,” Erica explained.

A slapper hits left and runs through the

box as they make contact with the ball, thus the hitter is not only closer to first but it is already in motion to pick up speed as they hit.

This keeps the defense alive as they need to respond to whether the hitter is bunting, slapping, or power hitting.

Erica is now very excited to be at the competition.

The bus left Regina on March 30 and the girls will have the opportunity to use the batting cages on March 31st in Surrey to prepare, while they will have some time on Friday, April 1, to practice on the diamonds before the competition begins.

Check back with The Observer in coming weeks to see how the tournament went.

Air travel

It's amazing how small the world really is and it's due to aviation. The other day I realized that I had a few days to myself and I should use that time to go see my friend who is completing her master’s degree down in the States.

A quick check and her weekend was relatively free... She needed to study and warned me multiple Kelly Running times that this was a priority. So I Observer Editor agreed to bring the book I've been attempting to read, very slowly, because it's nearly 1,000 pages long. I'm now over half way done thanks to my impromptu holiday.

Anytime I decide to fly, there's always this moment before takeoff where the worst scenarios zip through my imagination... I think the movie franchise Final Destination was the worst movies for me to watch...

They weren’t the best movies, but somehow my mind flips to them on an airplane, on escalators, and when driving behind heavy trucks with loads like logs (or any other load that's secured by straps). But, I digress.

As I sit in the airplane thinking of all the most terrible things that could happen I comfort myself by thinking about my sister. She's a flight attendant and has been for like 10 years or something. So, how many flights has she been on in that time? And I remind myself about the stats between air travel and highway travel, where air travel is much safer. Not only for the fewer collisions, but because you’ve got trained professionals at your finger tips in case of an emergency.

Grabbing a drink and snack for passengers is a kindness flight attendants do to make your flight more enjoyable, but really they're there in case of an emergency. If something happens on the flight they're the ones who are going to calm the masses and walk the traveler through the situation. If someone is in need of the defibrillator, it's the flight attendant that is going to take charge. Although people often liken their job to a waitress in the sky, they are so much more than that and I know I feel lucky that I have never had to see them in real action. I do feel they're underappreciated because of this, we don’t ever really see what their full job is because it only develops if there’s an emergency.

I've flown a fair amount and in this time I've been very surprised at how flight attendants are treated. Yes they're there to make your flight more comfortable, but that doesn't give anyone the right to be condescending or rude. I was even upset with the people ordering their complimentary beverage on the weekend without saying "please" and "thank you." I mean really? It's a couple little words that show you appreciate that small act.

Yes it may be part of their job, but it's only a very tiny fraction of what they're trained to do. And really grumpy, sleep deprived individuals at 4 a.m. aren't always aware of the tone they take with others or what they say, well... except for that flight attendant. They worked until whatever time the day before, slept some, and were back at it in the morning working with a smile on their face. So do me a favour, decide to give them a smile. People get annoyed when they stand up while the seatbelt sign is on and are asked to sit back down. Flight attendants are not just telling you to sit...

They're watching out for your safety and well being.

One of the craziest things I saw traveling would have been a few years ago. We were landing in New Zealand and sure enough this irate guy who was in an argument with his girlfriend stood up. Luckily we had a smooth landing, but even at a smooth landing it took a lot for him to stay standing and not fall into someone else's seat. The flight attendants did what they could but he refused to sit down. And landing was imminent, so the flight attendants took their seats, but right after we landed the attendants were up and had convinced the guy to sit down in an empty seat away from his girlfriend. If something would have happened during that landing he could have been tossed around by the force

of impact knocking into people, injuring them and himself. The cops were actually waiting for him outside the plane.

So, be respectful, give them a smile, and do what

they say as it’s in your best interest. It really doesn't take that much, you just have to be conscious that a scowling face isn't looked forward to by anyone at 4 a.m. but a smiling one is.

Where have all the good people gone?

Canadian musician Sam Roberts asked this question in his 2003 release of the song carrying this title. He certainly wasn’t the first person to wonder this out loud. The query that stands out in my mind was the one a young mother asked in a heartbreaking interview after a sequence of unthinkable and violent things happened to her family over the course of Shelley Luedtke just over a year and a half.

It’s a question many may be tempted to ask today as we try to get our heads around what we see taking place with such awful consistency in too many places. At what point will we become totally desensitized to gun violence, terrorism, hunger, refugee stories, suicide, bullying, … or are we already there?

Another Canadian singer recorded a song that delved into this theme. The lyrics express despair over all of the violence and suffering she was reading about in newspapers and witnessing on TV news coverage, and notes how wonderful it would be if, for just one day, there was nothing to report, because they the writers and anchors had “nothing bad to say”. The song was a huge hit here and around the world. The singer was Anne Murray.

The song--”A Little Good News.” The year…1983.

Twenty years before Sam Roberts posed his question…and 33 years before what we are seeing today.

So do we throw up our hands and say it’s no use, the only changes we will ever see are things changing for the worse? No a chance. So then, where are all the good people? Everywhere.

Like the 20 year old student named Maria who in her first year of college teamed up with a computer programmer friend to create a food bank network to more quickly distribute large quantities of food that were nearing their expiration dates.

They established the non-profit MEANS (Matching Excess and Need for Stability) which launched in February 2013 and is thought to have already saved more than two tons of food by connecting food banks in 36 states.

Or the Wisconsin couple who foster terminally ill children. They were told of a baby born with only

a brain stem--no right or left hemisphere--whose birth mother was unable to provide care. The couple offered a home for the child. The little girl lived 50 days and the experience put this family on the path for providing care for other terminally ill children with no place to go. The mother remarked, “I cannot change the fact that they’re going to die, but I can make sure they don’t have to die alone.”

Or the father who wondered what happened to the little packs of crayons his young children would be given at restaurants, and learned that for hygienic reasons the crayons would be tossed after a single use. He approached several restaurants about re-purposing them. Now he melts and pours the max into moulds to make new crayons which are then given to children’s hospital art programs.

Working out of his home in the evenings he is able to make about 1,000 crayons per hour. “It’s all worth it,” he said, “to see kids’ faces light up when they’re handed a new box of crayons.”

Then there’s the older couple who were eating in a popular restaurant when a young couple with a baby were seated next to them. The older woman wanted to offer to hold the baby so the young couple could just enjoy their meal but her husband convinced her that offer may not be looked on too kindly. Instead, the older couple anonymously covered the cost of the young family’s meal and left them a note encouraging them to enjoy their time with their little one.

Should we look closer to home? The young grocery store employee who saw a mom with a cart full of food struggling with two youngsters so he ran out to help her get everything loaded into the vehicle. The high school students who listen patiently as their grade one buddies read to them. The church youth group that collects items for the local food bank. The man who responds to a snowfall by grabbing a shovel and heading to his neighbour’s sidewalks. The knitters who make mittens and the sewers that make quilts--all to be given away. Or the lady who left the gift of a bag of groceries at my front door on a day when a frustrating schedule and lingering illness left little energy to prepare supper.

So where have all the good people gone? It’s a question we can ask…or a question we can answer, like so many already have. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

You determine your fate on social media Kelly Running Observer Staff

In the world you always have to watch what you say, but this has been magnified in the age of technology. You make a comment on social media and just like that you’ve created a fury of backlash. Sure, you can delete the comment, but it might not really be gone as nothing on the internet is gone forever, especially when someone has the capabilities to take a screenshot and share it.

In Saskatchewan this is becoming even more evident as the provincial political race heats up.

Usually if some random person makes a comment it is just seen by their friends, and oftentimes friends agree with the person posting. However, when it comes to running for public office, your actions and what you say become scrutinized by those you’re looking to represent.

As a regular person you’re told that whatever you put up on social media is out there for anyone to find. For this reason, an employer might look you up and this could affect whether they hire you or not. Additionally, a company may not like what you’ve posted and depending on their policy may be able to terminate your employment because your actions represent that company as you’re an employee.

Although the world is not simply seen in black and white, there are grey areas, it becomes glaringly evident that even these grey areas can radicalize people looking at your comments.

I’ve seen memes online that point to the need of a lock on your phone for when you’ve been drinking so you don’t post something stupid. The meme is in jest, but at the same time it points out the biggest thing about the internet: there is no filter other than yourself and if you don’t think about what you say before you say it there could be repercussions to the nth degree.

So before posting anything I’ve read that you’re supposed to ask yourself a few questions… Would you say it in person to your boss or at work? Did you question whether you should post it? If the answer to these questions is that you wouldn’t say it in a professional setting and that you second guessed yourself before posting it, you probably shouldn’t put it up.

Yes, you can change your privacy settings, but are your Facebook “friends,” all people you could say anything to or is someone going to take offense to what you say? Would they take a screen shot of it and share it with others? Private isn’t always private these days and it’s a tough thing for people to always understand that.

It’s ultimately your decision of how you want to be portrayed on social media. Recently there was a girl who set up an Instagram account. It followed her “life” of moving to a big city, breaking up with her long term boyfriend, falling into drugs, getting plastic surgery, becoming self destructive, but owning up to her decisions by apologizing, recovering, and later finding a new boyfriend.

It was all fake, the girl is an artist and the entire Instagram account was a performance, a work of art in the age of technology. Although the life of the girl she portrayed was made up, this work of art is an example of how you choose what people see of you on social media and how they perceive you as a person.

And this is made even more evident in the current Saskatchewan political landscape with candidates resigning and being dropped by their party because of comments they made on social media.

Editor’s Note . . .

The views expressed in “Seeing things differently” are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily the views of the writers.

Social media slip-ups Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Social media slip-ups are fast becoming the rule rather than the exception during election season anywhere.

Recently, in the run-up to Saskatchewan’s provincial election, NDP leader Cam Broten removed candidates from his campaign for “inappropriate” social media posts that were “offensive” (in varying degrees) to women, men with manners, the fine folks of Swift Current and-oh dear-even the Premier’s mother.

However, the real kicker has to be a comment posted by one former political hopeful who put a two-word phrase that is so objectionable, I’m hesitant to even repeat it. But for the sake of reader clarity and full disclosure, here goes: this fellow put the words “stupid” and “farmers” together in the same sentence, without a word to separate them--in Saskatchewan!

This alone might be an indication that the poor guy might be in the wrong line of work (or province!), but before I get too judgemental, I can’t help but think a little “There but for the grace of God go I...” might be in order.

Even though my presence on social media resembles a great insomnia cure, I can certainly relate to foot-in-mouth syndrome. #AskAnyone...

And I think that most of us have said things in haste that are-at the very least-cringe-making. And I think most of us have made an ill-judged remark

we wish we could take back seconds after we’ve uttered it. (Kind of like that moment when you close the car door, realizing your keys are still in the ignition...).

Part of the problem is that there’s a permanance to the written word that just doesn’t seem to apply to things we say out loud in the presence of real human beings. Social media may give its users the perception of intimacy, but in reality, anything posted on social media has the potential to reach far beyond what the writer may expect.

As leader of the NDP, Cam Broten addressed each case of social media slippage in his party individually, saying in one statement: “I don’t think anyone wants this campaign to spiral down into a thing where it’s trawling through Facebook and Twitter accounts and finding every example of a bad joke or an off-colour statement,” but also affirming his “zero-tolerance” for sexually inappropriate and violent posts concerning women.

Broten’s right on both counts. Posts that are violent, racist and/or misogynistic are as offensive on social media as they are as if they’re uttered out loud. At best, they show extremely poor judgement and at worst, they show aspects of someone’s worldview that renders them unfit for public office.

But if less-offensive (well, let’s call them merely dumb) social media posts are viewed without a sense of perspective and proportion, the examination of important election issues can be derailed by a witch-hunt via Facebook and Twitter.

And that might be the biggest slip-up of all.

Maryfield’s Erickson is Saskatchewan’s U18 Provincial Champ Rachel Erickson and her U18 team of third, Sarah Hoag of Gravelbourg, second, Kelly Kay of Maryfield, lead, Jade Goebel of Churchbridge, and coach, Shane Kitz of Oxbow won the U18 Provincial Championship and are off to the Optimist International U18 Championships in Edmonton, AB, from March 30th to April 6th, 2016.

Erickson captured a berth at the provincial level competing in the South East Region U18 playoff in Estevan on March 13. The girls lost their opening game to Englot of Neudorf but rebounded to take the

B side, defeating first Haupstien of Weyburn and then Murray of Gainsborough. Both Englot and Erickson represented the South East Region at the U18 Provincial Playoff in Regina on March 17-20.

In provincial play, Erickson went on a winning streak. They captured the A Event, defeating Jones from the Regina Tartan Club, Buller of Hodgeville and finally Regush of Lumsden. In the 8-team triple knockout format, teams drop through all three events. Erickson dropped into the semifinal of the B-event where she defeated Jones and

Regush once again to capture the B Event.

Erickson then dropped into the semifinal of the C-event. In the C she defeated Englot of Neudorf but then lost to Jones

in the C Final. Since Erickson had won the A and B Events, Jones had to defeat Erickson twice if she hoped to capture the title.

The two teams went the distance in the “True” Triple Women’s

division as Jones defeated in Erickson in the first of two playoff games.

Erickson prevailed in the final game. The title came down to the 8th end on the third and final game with Erickson making no mistake on a

hit to take 3 in the 8th end and the 7-5 win.

The Erickson team will represent Maryfield and Saskatchewan at the Optimist International U18 Championships in Edmonton from March 30 – April 6th, 2016.

RCMP report

The Carlyle detachment of the RCMP responded to several files throughout the area from Friday, March 11 to Thursday, March 24.

Carlyle RCMP arrested a male who was wanted by police in Manitoba. They arrested this individual and several others and as a result, three individuals are in custody awaiting court appearances.

Police also recovered a

vehicle which was stolen in Manitoba. This case involves assault-related crimes against persons as well as a stolen vehicle investigation.

The RCMP would like to remind drivers in both lanes to stop if a school bus has its lights on and its stop sign out.

“This is for the safety of students,” sats Staff Sgt. Darren Simons.

“Even better, if you see the bus, why not take an alternate route so ou can avoid it? No driver wants to cause children harm, so this is an important reminder.”

911 calls The detachment received several 911

calls during the past two weeks. Some were misdials, some were the result of improper use of the 911 system, and one was the result of problems with the telephone system.

False alarms The detachment dealt with several false alarms during this period.

Alcohol-related offences An individual causing a disturbance at a gas station in Carlyle was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place.

RCMP investigated a report of a possiblyimpaired driver as well

Red Coat Rebels

as several other liquor investigations.

Assault During two separate incidents in the Carlyle area, two RCMP

members were assaulted. Charges were laid in both cases and one individual was also charged with threatening a police officer.

Three separate incidents of assault with a weapon causing bodily harm are all under investigation by Carlyle

bserved At Arcola’s Phyllis Cameron is known as “The Cinammon Bun Lady” and continues to teach students from the town’s school how to make the treats from her prized recipe. “To us, she’s ‘The Cinnamon Bun Lady,’” says educational assistant, Cathy Burton, pictured here with Cameron.

“But to the kids, she’s ‘The Cinnamon Bun Grandma.’”

Arcola residents held a surprise community tea to celebrate “The Cinnamon Bun Lady” and Arcola volunteer extraordinaire, Phyllis Cameron’s 85th birthday on Wednesday, March 23 at Arcola School.

Cameron’s contributions to the community go beyond her donations of thousands of homemade cinammon buns to local causes and individuals. In 2013, she was awarded the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal by the province’s Lieutenant Governor Vaugh Schofield. Here a surprised Cameron is greeted by teacher Jennifer Karlunchuk and student Titus Erik. “She’s got such a big heart,” says Karlunchuk. “She’s a sweet, sweet lady.”

Arcola’s 85th Birthday Tribute to Phyllis Cameron “Phyllis (Cameron) does so much for our community that we thought this was a nice way to say thank you to her,” says Cathy Burton of Arcola. “We’re so happy we were able to surprise her!” Here, the birthday lady is pictured with some of the cupcakes created by Burton in honour of her 85th.

Longtime Arcola residents and friends, Phyllis Cameron (left) and Marjorie Askin (right) are pictured here at Cameron’s surprise birthday celebration held at Arcola School on Wednesday, March 23. “We’ve known each other for years,” says Askin of Cameron. “She’s a great person, a good neighbour, and a special friend.”

Arcola School teacher Whitney Paul says of Phyllis Cameron’s involvment with students: “As far as volunteering in the community, our students really look up to Phyllis Cameron. She’s been an outstanding community leader for decades, and she continues to volunteer, even into her eighties. Definitely the work she does suggests her commitment to volunteerism... Phyllis is a living example of what volunteerism looks like. She’s obviously a great role model.” The Hon. Dan D’Autremont, MLA for Cannington constituency (pictured here with Cameron) agrees, saying: “Phyllis was such a deserving recipient when she was awarded the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal in 2013 and she’s a great community person. She’s the heart of the community and everyone knows her and loves her.”

HOP ON IN FOR EASTER GIFTS AND GOODIES

Brothers Kane and Declan are two of Phyllis Cameron’s youngest admirers and they honoured her on her 85th birthday with handmade cards. Their mom, Julie Zilm of Arcola says, “I’ve known Phyllis all my life and now my my sons know her too. And we all love Phyllis.”

Precision Ag’s fertilizer plant in Carlyle reducing wait times for farmers

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Precision Ag in Carlyle is very excited about the new addition to their facility just south of Carlyle along Hwy 9. The state of the art fertilizer blending plant which has been built has received a lot of attention from the farming community because of its capabilities.

Dan Reaves, Sales Manager with Precision Ag, explained, “This is a long term investment for Precision Ag has ever made and we are passionate about it because our customers are extremely excited about it.”

“The old plant took time to blend and load.

In a season farmers have about 20 days to seed and they don’t want to waste those days. This system is unbelievably fast. On the old system, depending on the mix, 30 metric tonnes took about half an hour to load. The other day on our new system we did that in seven minutes.”

“We’re so excited because in the past it took days for someone to get all their fertilizer home and now they can be done in a day.”

The fertilizer plant – a 6,000 metric tonne shed – was built with

A 52” TV was stolen from a residence in the Carlyle area.

Traffic offences/ Vehicle collisions Police responded to several traffic collisions throughout the detachment area.

RCMP issued several speeding tickets and warnings, with fines reaching $408.

Members also issued tickets for stop sign violations, and vehicle violations including tail light and headlight warnings.

Uttering threats Carlyle RCMP responded to four files involving uttering threats.

Two of these calls came from the Carlyle area, one from Carlyle and one from Moosimin.

Other calls Members also dealt with several child welfare, domestic, and mental health calls during this period.

Members from the Carlyle detachment undergo ongoing training. Most recently, some members received training in Regina at the RCMP’s Regina Divisional Operational Communications Centre, which is the dispatch centre for all of Saskatchewan.

RCMP also gave presentations at area schools.

eight bulk separations along with a micro nutrient hopper and impregnation ability for micronutrients and urease inhibitors.

“We presently handle over 12 different bulk fertilizers,” Reaves explained.

The facility is built entirely of concrete, wood, and stainless steel.

“This fertilizer plant was built to last. It will be here for 80 years, I’ll be long gone and it will still be running,” Reaves smiled. “A bin fertilizer system usually only lasts about 12 years.”

ANNUAL MEETING th APRIL 7 17, 2016

St. Monica’s Parish Hall Bienfait, Sask.

Registration at : 12:00 Meeting to start at: 1:00 Guest Speaker Emily Eaton – Associate Professor

realized as Precision Ag’s number one concern is their customers.

“By using the right components and blending them quickly, we’re selling them time and that’s exciting,” Reaves says. “We invested in this asset as our customers invest with us when they support Precision Ag Services.”

“I’m excited about this facility, but I’m even more excited that our customers are excited.”

Reaves says that he has been in the agriculture industry for the past 26 years and it has only been in the past five or six years that he’s seen advancements in fertilizer innovations.

“There have been exciting new products coming out that will allow us to provide a better blend for our customers,” Reaves explained. “We take the lab recommendations of soil samples and look at pH, organic matter, mineralization of the soil, cation exchange capacity, and base saturations to understand the medium [soil] we’re in, so the purchase our customer is making is positively impacting the soil.”

“There’s a lot more to fertilizer than just reading the lab recommendations.”

“Different crops have different use rates of nutrients and when looking at the soil tests we can decide on the right blend and the right products to make that blend most effective. Fertilizer represents over 65 percent of a farmers yield response – so it is a huge decision and we recognized that.

Quality people and quality fertilizer assets that can deliver speed, time release technology, balance nutrition, and proper recommendations will deliver more confidence for the farmer in the biggest input decision on his farm.”

“There are seven billion people in the world right now and we’re not making more cropland, so we need to learn how to grow more on what we have. We keep taking nutrients out of the ground every time we farm it, so people are beginning to use more fertilizer.”

This includes varying fertilizer applications as well, with floating fertilizer becoming more popular as advancements were made in urease inhibitors for nitrogen preventing it from ammonia volatilization – the process of the dissolved sample vaporizing – and denitrification – the process of nitrogen converting to its gaseous form escaping into the atmosphere. Urease inhibitors prevent this from happening and has made floating fertilizer a viable means of application to cropland in Saskatchewan.

Additionally, advances have been made in dry and liquid fertilizers. This includes such innovations as time release technology where the fertilizer pearl either bleeds slowly into the ground or layers off like an onion. This provides continued nutrients for the plant as it grows instead of a concentrated amount at once during the plants initial growth.

Reaves explained that the advances in fertilizers have made it integral in ensuring a healthy, high yielding crop.

“One of the biggest overlooked fertilizer decisions I see is the focus on commodity fertilizer instead of utilizing the latest and best technology that is available. We have tested and shown a 3-5 bushel increase by using the newest bulk fertilizer versus regular commodity Nitrogen and Phosphate fertilizers.”

“To properly recommend the right fertilizer blend then you need knowledge,” Reaves stated.

“To do that we have 11 years of Agriculture secondary school in this office, one degree – Bachelor Science of Agriculture, three diplomas in Ag, one Professional Agrologist certification, and one CCA (Certified Crop Advisor).”

Thus, Reaves is confident in the abilities of those at Precision Ag in assisting their customers.

The large fertilizer plant was an investment made to ensure farmers have access to high quality and quickly loaded fertilizer.

“Each load is calculated and controlled by a computer, which weighs and distributes the correct mix,” Reaves said. “It’s then blended and loaded.”

“The R.M. was awesome to work with. We currently only have one out load, which I think will be enough for now because it goes so quickly, but if we need to, the R.M. has said that we have the option of putting a second out load on the building, so expansion is possible.”

In addition to the benefits to customers that the new plant provides to those in the area, Reaves is excited that the new facility has also opened up a new full- time position in Carlyle.

“What we try to do here at Precision Ag is work with the customer,” Reaves explained. “So, we look at soil reports and use that to create balanced nutrition, using the best products, which leads to increased yields.”

“For a farmer the biggest component of increased yields is fertilizer. Good seed and crop protection are important, but fertilizer is extremely important.”

The new fertilizer plant at Precision Ag is built of wood, cement, and stainless steel to prevent the oxidation or rust. “This fertilizer plant was built to last. It will be here for 80 years, I’ll be long gone and it will still be running,” Dan Reaves, Sales Manager, explained. “A bin fertilizer system usually only lasts about 12 years.”

Edwards, manager of Southern Plains Co-op in Carlyle and Brennen Dickson, senior operations manager at Bear Claw Casino, joined the Chamber board. While the Chamber treasurer, Martin Tourand, explained there are 66 businesses out of approximately 120 in Carlyle that have joined the Chamber this year, so far.

The Chamber formed at a time when business owners were concerned about the rise in property tax, but currently the business community doesn’t have any pressing concerns. However, Steve Schultz, president of the Chamber, said that he and Nicole Currie – vice president of the Chamber – meet with the town on a regular basis to ensure they are working together for the betterment of the community. Each en-

tity checks with the other at these meetings to see if there are issues and how they can be addressed.

Since there are no pressing concerns at the moment, as there were in the beginning, the Chamber has been focused on giving back to the community.

“We’ve been approached by different groups to help with a variety of different things in the community,” Schultz said. “We’ll be holding a barbeque fundraiser this year at the dedication of the town shop to Roy Olmstead and all profits from that barbeque will go towards the fire department.”

“We’re also looking to do a downtown business promotion this year as a way to sort of replace Boogie Fest this summer. And this fall, we’re just in discussions now, but we’re hoping to host

a business appreciation night at the hall.”

More immediately, however, the Chamber will be meeting on Tuesday, April 12, at 7 p.m. at the Bear Claw Casino for their annual general meeting. Here they will host a guest speaker from the Southeast Regional College who will talk about the different programs businesses can participate in and offer to employees.

“Everyone is welcome to come out, you don’t have to be a Chamber member to attend,” Schultz explained.

“We encourage prospective members to come out.”

Additionally, the Chamber will be placing weekly information in The Observer to explain various benefits available to businesses by becoming a member of the Chamber.

Shocker: Cubs are pre-season favourite

By Bruce Penton What were you doing in 1908? Unless you’re more than 108 years old, you certainly weren’t watching the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series, which is the last time the Cubbies wore the crown of ‘world champions’.

That’s why it’s such an oddity that this year, 2016, the Cubs are being pegged by a plethora of experts to win the National League title for the first time since 1945 and, perhaps — gasp! — the World Series. The wait might finally be over for the gang known for “Wait till next year,” the Loveable Losers’ lament since before the start of the First World War. The venerable sports publication, Sports Illustrated, recently ranked the 30 Major League Baseball teams and had the Cubs at No. 1. No, this wasn’t an early April Fools Day publication.

The Cubbies were a good young, playoff team last year and SI surmised that since their young stars — Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell and Kyle Schwarber — were one year older and more comfortable in their big-league surroundings; since they acquired one of the best free agents on the market, Jason Heyward, and another decent one, infielder Ben Zobrist); and since they added to their already strong pitching staff the arm of John Lackey (from divisional rival St. Louis, of all teams), that there would be no stopping the Cubs this year.

But if spring training is any indication, some of the bandwagon jumpers may be jumping off.

Spring training means little, of course, but the Cubs hobbled along at well below .500 during the tuneup time, and both Heyward and slugging Jorge Soler, another youngster (24) with a big bat, struggled to get their batting averages above .200. But spring is for preparation only, and Cubs’ fans expect the bats of those two to come alive when they start playing for real April 4.

Cy Young award winner Jake Arietta, 22-6 with a 1.77 ERA last year, leads the pitching staff and is joined by Lackey, Jon Lester and Jason Hammel to form a formidable foursome.

And with managing guru Joe Maddon calling the shots from the dugout, can the Cubs possibly fail to win the Series again — for the 108th consecutive year? It seems odd to be writing about the Cubs being a World Series favourite, but maybe 2016 will be the year the long wait will

Field Robots are coming

By Calvin Daniels It appears the time of the field robot may finally be dawning.

Autonomous Tractor Corp. is ready to sell a driverless system that will allow tractors to perform all normal field sans an operator sitting in the seat.

That this has finally happened cannot be a surprise to anyone.

Industry people were crystal-balling automaton tractors years ago, and we have seen steps in that direction for more than a decade. The increased accuracy of global positioning systems, and of course the added capacity and speed of computer processing systems have finally made the complete move to driverless a possible reality.

In this respect tractors are not unique.

Guangzhou-based Ehang Inc., a Chinese company, recently unveiled a drone capable of carrying a human passenger; the Ehang 184 at the Las Vegas convention center during the CES gadget show.

It looks like a small helicopter but with four propellers spinning parallel to the ground in a similar configuration to other drones, detailed a story at www.theguardian.com “The electric-powered drone can be fully charged in two hours, carry up to 100kg (220lb) and fly for 23 minutes at sea level, according to Ehang.

The cabin fits one person and a small backpack and is fitted with air conditioning and a reading light. It is designed to fit, with propellers folded, in a single parking spot.

DRILLING REPORT

Friday, April 1, 2016

From Page 18 - Field Robots “After setting a flight plan, passengers need only to give two commands – “take off” and “land” – done with a single click on a tablet, the company said.”

And a self-driving car is an existing technology which is likely to see dramatic growth in terms of on-raid use in the years ahead.

“Self-driving cars are no longer a futuristic idea. Companies like Mercedes, BMW, and Tesla have already released, or are soon to release, selfdriving features that give the car some ability to drive itself,” related a July 2015 article at www. businessinsider.com “… Self-driving cars are not some futuristic auto technology; in fact there are already cars with self-driving features on the road. We define the self-driving car as any car with features that allow it to accelerate, brake, and steer a car›s course with limited or no driver interaction.”

The article further suggests cause of regulatory and insurance questions, user-operated fully autonomous cars will come to market within the

next five years, while driverless cars will remain a long ways off.

However they do estimate 10 million self-driving cars on the road by 2020. Think about that. It is but four years in the future.

So tractors going the driverless route are actually mundane news outside the farm community.

There are certainly less risks with a driverless tractor than having a passenger motoring through the sky, or a family heading down a busy highway.

Tractors at work usually follow a very well defined pattern when seeding, spraying, or doing other normal field work. That defined pattern has to aid in programming an autonomous tractor.

And the benefits are rather obvious, as the ATC website suggests.

“ATC’s technology addresses one of the most pressing problems in agriculture today - a lack of qualified labor during peak season needs. The system installs on your existing tractor to make it truly autonomous without relying on GPS. It can be trained to do countless repetitive field tasks on

its own so you have time to manage your farm and maximize profits. And you can still drive it manually whenever you need to.”

The tractor will be able to roll across a field 24/7 and that is an efficiency farmers will have to look at as a step forward.

In the case of the ATC system it can be added to an existing tractor.

But in time it is likely we will see power units and cabs and all the human-interface monitors, with the tractor being fully autonomous. That will take longer as there is the ‘comfort’ level of producers that will be a barrier, but long term the robot will be more and more common across a broad spectrum of or lives, farm operations included.

This is a future we are already too committed to in terms of research and development in terms of robotics, artificial intelligence, and the hope to remove the human factor from the equation of business not to see the outcome ahead.

The new ATC development is but another step on the road.
