The Midget Cougars found themselves in an intense league final on Monday, April 4, against the Carnduff Red Devils. With the series tied going into the competition, the Cougars had home ice advantage.

In a close, high scoring battle, the Cougars came out on top during sudden death overtime winning 8-7 over the Red Devils.

Devin Stewart earned four goals, finding the back of the net for both the first one scored of the night and the last. Reaching the back of the net twice in the first period Stewart was assisted by Cooper Fox and Josh Brown for the first and Jett BigEagle put up an assist for the second.

The second period saw both teams score three goals each. For Carlyle, Dalton Loustel put two away with assists by Jacob Chalus and Jake MacLeod for one and then Macleod again and Jory Dyck. Cooper Fox posted a goal in the second as well with help from Devin Stewart and Jett BigEagle.

Heading into the third the score read 5-3. Carnduff came out on fire in the third scoring a total of four points, while Carlyle struggled to keep up. Cooper Fox found the back of the net again with help from Josh Brown. Then with less than two minutes left in the game, Carlyle pulled their goalie for a six on five opportunity, which paid off with Devin Stewart finding the back of the net with 1:09 left in the period tying up the game.

The last minute ran down and the teams headed into sudden death overtime. With 10 minutes on the clock, the teams faced off at centre ice. Quickly the Cougars took the puck into Carnduff’s end. With quick passing in the zone the puck landed on Josh Brown’s stick – a defenseman on the leftside - who took a shot, which was deflected in by Devin Stewart. Cougars win!

Both teams played extremely well and put on a fantastic game for those in attendance.

EVEREST® GBX CONTAINS EVEREST® 2.0. SAFE, RELENTLESS CONTROL THAT BEST FITS YOUR FIELDS. EVEREST® GBX contains EVEREST® 2.0 in addition to fluroxypyr, the same ingredient in Attain , providing exceptional control and economic value for managing troublesome grass and broadleaf weeds.

TM

RELENTLESS CONTROL & CROP SAFETY: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS In University of Saskatchewan field trials, researchers found that regardless of conditions, EVEREST 2.0 delivered Flush after flush™ control of wild oats and green foxtail with no risk of injury symptoms.

The crop was able to grow without adverse effects, thanks to the super selectivity of EVEREST 2.0 on all varieties of spring and durum wheat.

“We like that EVEREST 2.0 and EVEREST GBX give customers a wide application window that lets you spray at your earliest convenience, regardless of weather conditions,” says Kirk Johnson of Precision Ag Services Ltd. “Spraying early provides the best weed control, and with EVEREST 2.0, young wheat has the best chance to become established and reach its top potential yield. And, at the same time, if the rains come and the crop advances, EVEREST 2.0 and EVEREST GBX are still safe to apply.”

SUPERIOR FORMULATION AND CONVENIENCE “EVEREST 2.0 is an advanced, highly concentrated liquid formulation,” says Trent McCrea, Arysta LifeScience marketing manager, herbicides. “It’s a user-friendly, no-hassle product that wheat growers can rely on, with exceptional convenience and flexibility.” EVEREST GBX contains one 2-litre bottle of EVEREST 2.0 along with two bottles of GBX, and will treat 80 -100 acres.

EVEREST GBX. A herbicide you can count on.

CHOOSE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOUR WEED SPECTRUM AND PRESSURE When you add the recent discovery of glyphosateresistant kochia in Southern Alberta to the existing challenges of Group 1 wild oat resistance and Group 2 cleaver, kochia and chickweed resistance, it’s even more important to have choices that can best fit your weed spectrum and don’t break the bank. “EVEREST GBX can be customized in terms of rate and tank-mix partners, based on individual weed spectrum and pressure,” says McCrea. “EVEREST GBX tank-mixed with MCPA, 2,4-D or DEPLOY® gets more than 50 broadleaf weeds, including the most critical resistant weeds in Western Canada. And all at a better price than tank-mixing EVEREST 2.0 with a comparable broadleaf option.”

Auction Action: Catching up with champion auctioneer Ward Cutler Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

During his career, champion auctioneer and rodeo announcer Ward Cutler has sold “1.7 million head of cattle,” averages 60,000 to 70,000 km per year on Canada’s highways and can’t even estimate the distance he’s travelled by air. He’s also been referred to as what those in the auction world call “a champion of champions” when he was named the first-ever Canadian Western Agribition Auctioneer Champion in 2011.

“That was the first time I’ve competed since I won the Canadian Livestock Auctioneer Champion in 2005,” says Cutler. “And I was so honoured to win both. The field of auctioneers in 2005 in Ponoka was unreal and it’s right in the heart of cattle country. I was very surprised and proud to win in Ponoka.”

In 2011, Cutler was invited by Marty Seymour, General Manager and CEO of Agribition to join four other top auctioneers to compete in the firstever Winners Circle Auctioneering Competition in Regina.

“There was a handful of elite guys and when I saw who was participating, I was very surprised to be named champion.”

Cutler has since returned to Agribition to judge the competition he won. The piowas praised for neering auctioneer his rhythm and chant, trol and voice conclarity, and sionprofesalism, which

During his career, auctioneer and rodeo announcer Ward Cutler, 41 has been named the first-ever Canadian Western Agribition Winners Circle Auctioneering Champion in 2011, making him a “champion of champions,” according to Agribition officials. Here, the man who has sold “1.7 million head of cattle” during the course of his career is pictured presiding over this year’s Carlyle Lions Club auction, an annual event which Cutler has donated his time and talent to for 21 years. (Archive photo)

are standard elements for auctioneers, whether they’re being judged or doing the judging, according to Cutler.

However, he says that although he attended auctioneer school in Strathmore, Alberta, “You have to take what you learn and then, it’s what you make of it.”

“When I decided to quit high school, my father told me that I was either going back to school or going to work,” he says. “I’ve always had a passion for livestock, so I went to the local credit union, got a student loan and went to auctioneer school.”

“It was a two-week course and it was long hours and an amazing experience,” says Cutler.

“They teach you a pile of stuff in a very short period.”

“They teach you the basics, and really, after that, it’s what you make of it.”

“After I finished school, the Eaton family-who had Arcola Livestock Sales-called me and I hadn’t even been home from school a week. They needed an auctioneer and I was very fortunate.”

Since then, Cutler has “worked five days a week, for 21 years,” as an auctioneer and in the off season, as a rodeo announcer.

“Cattle is my main thing,” he says. “It’s about 90 percent of what I do.”

Cutler says that he doesn’t “do anything special” to rest his voice. “My voice never really gets a chance to rest and I probably drink way too much coffee and not enough water,” he laughs.

Preparation before a sale varies according to circumstances, too. “Do I do anything to prepare myself before a sale? As a rule, no I do not. But I am a professional and my job is to get out there and get the best price for the seller.”

“Today in Moose Jaw, I did two hours of prep before the sale. I’ll typically go out and assess, talk to the sellers about their livestock and see what things should be highlighted.”

Although he is now based in Virden, Manitoba-as owner of Cutler Livestock Auctions-Cutler

credits his small-town Saskatchewan upbringing for much of his success.

“That’s the advantage of growing up in a community like Carlyle, Saskatchewan,” he says.

“For me, it allowed me to discover my passion for livestock, rodeo, auctioneering-everything I do today. For someone else, that might be completely different, but for me, it was those country roots and it’s where you’ll find some of the best people in the world.”

Cutler says that he and his partner, Sarah aim to provide the same kind of upbringing for their family as they juggle the busy lives of working parents.

“Sarah has just started managing a restaurant in Brandon-the Prairie Fire House-which only opened in December. We spend a lot of time in hockey rinks with the boys and they’re also into rodeo,” says Cutler. “We’ve got some bucking bulls and like my brother and I, they’ve been around it since they were born.”

“I’ve been involved in rodeo my whole life competing and now, announcing. I’ve been announcing for about eight or nine years, now and I’m a huge fan of all of the events. I can’t pick just one.”

Like many rodeo cowboys, Cutler is also fullysponsored, and says he appreciates the support of Brandon Chrysler Dodge, OK Tire in Swan River, Virden’s Wildcat Oilfield Construction and Cinch Shirts and Jeans.

“I’m really fortunate in so many ways,” he says.

“I’m able to combine the best of both worlds and make a living. There are always challenges-like weather that means people can’t get to a sale, tough times in the cattle industry, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. and Canadian dollars-there are always things that can make my job tough.”

“But overall, it’d been great. I still get nervous before a sale, but if I don’t get a few butterflies, it just means I’m not enjoying it as much as I should be.

“And I’m still enjoying it all.”

Champion auctioneer and former Carlyle resident Ward Cutler (left) has auctioned “almost everything” during his 21-year career, which has him criss-crossing the country on a regular basis. However, Cutler says: “I never fail to be amazed at the prices Dennis Feduk’s (right) pies go for.” Here, Feduk presents Cutler with one of his creations during the 2016 Carlyle Lions Club’s annual fundraising auction.

Raptors carry Canadian playoff hopes this spring This spring, the nation-wide lament among sports fans in Canada is that not a single Canadian team will make the playoffs.

Not exactly correct. While it’s true that none of Canada’s seven National Hockey League teams will advance to the post-season, for the first time since 196970, basketball fans are hoping for a long playoff run by the National Basketball Association’s Toronto Raptors, who are, indeed, Canada’s only NBA entry and one of the league powers.

The Raptors may not be quite in the stratosphere of Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs, but they’re giving LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers a run for the Eastern Conference title and could easily advance into the second or third round of post-season play.

And sports fans are well aware that playoff surprises are commonplace. So don’t count out the Raptors if they come up against the Warriors or Spurs in the NBA Finals. Regular-season dominance is an indicator, not a guarantee, of postseason success.

Last year, the Raptors won a franchiserecord 49 games but were swept by Washington Wizards in the first round. That 49-win mark was easily eclipsed this year. Coach Dwayne Casey’s team had a 51-25 record with six games to go and appeared to be en route to 55 or 56 victories.

DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry lead a Raptors team that plays in front of a sellout every game in their home Air Canada Centre, where they’re playing .750 ball. Both players are averaging more than 20 points a game and are seeking to erase the bad memories of last season’s quick playoff exit.

“This group, I have to tell everybody, is going to go down in the record books,” DeRozan told Michael Grange of Sportsbet.ca. Surpassing 50 victories is “big … you can never take that away [and] we have the opportunity to continue to build on it.”

Toronto may have been a sports wasteland for decades, with the laughingstock Leafs not winning the Cup since 1967 and the Blue Jays going through a two-decade drought, but things are changing. The Blue Jays electrified the country last year, the Raptors are solid contenders and the Argos are always a threat to play in the Grey Cup. But a championship parade down Yonge Street? The Raptors are hoping they get there first.

• Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre, to Sports Illustrated, on why he still refuses to wear a protective cup despite a bad-hop injury that put him on the DL in 2009: “If the ball’s only going to hit me once every 11½ years, I’ll take my chances.”

Eric Kolenich of the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch, on Yale making its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1962: “For a school that was founded in 1701, waiting 54 years isn’t so long.”

Because of their California rivalry, Los Angeles Clippers get fired up to play Golden State Warriors, says Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Against the Warriors, the Clippers get higher than Snoop Dogg at Happy Hour.”

Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The NBA’s Nate Robinson is toying with trying out for the NFL. You know the major difference between the NBA and NFL? You’re more likely to be called for travelling in the NFL.” Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “LeBron James unfollowed the Cleveland Cavaliers last week on Twitter, which apparently was the equivalent of the Pope skipping Easter Sunday Mass for a bingo tournament.”

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, to loudly dressed TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager, when asked how his team held the Heat to 13 points in a quarter: “I think they were looking at your suit.”

Blogger Chad Picasner, envisioning the local furor if LeBron James leaves the Cavaliers again: “Let’s just say I’d like to have the torch and pitchfork concession in Cleveland.”

TBS’s Conan O’Brien, on Clippers star Chris Paul saying he’s skipping this year’s Rio Olympics to spend time with his son: “And also to spend time not getting the Zika virus.”

Quote of the Week . . .

Good, better, best. Never let it rest.

‘Til your good is better and your better is best.

- St. Jerome

Continually impressed by the girls I coach

In sports you can do one of two things when you’re in a slump: dig in and go hard OR roll over and give up. There were a couple of weeks there where the volleyball team I help with was in a slump. They looked like they were playing hard, and I don’t doubt for a second that they were not doing their best, Kelly Running but things just weren’t going our Observer Staff way.

The girls weren’t playing to their abilities, part of it might be that they don’t really know just how good they are, they’ve made comments about how good others are out there that they’ve competed against. Hearing the comment I’ll tell them, “You’re so good too.” To which the usual reply is “Oh, not that good.” Maybe if they could actually watch themselves play they’d feel differently because their skills are comparable anyone out there.

Getting back to the slump… no doubt the players were frustrated, I’m sure their parents were frustrated, and us coaches… well, we were too because we were at a loss of what to do for the girls.

But despite being frustrated, nobody wavered. The girls had team meetings and determined what they could do, they gave suggestions to the coaching staff of what we could do, and the coaching staff looked into ways to help the girls, which essentially goes back to our core beliefs as a team.

The mission? To have fun and give it 100 percent, each time, every time, all the time, no matter what. The head coach found a video of an NBA coach talking about exactly what we were going through, in sports slumps happen, and to be able to get out of them is huge, but you need the G.R.I.T. – our slogan this year which stands for Grace, Respect, Integrity, and Team – to handle the situation.

One of the things this NBA coach said was that a time-out should be left to the players. If they have nothing to say then the coach steps in with one or two things to focus on, but otherwise it’s left to them. Oddly enough, we did this by accident at our first tournament in Yorkton this year and the girls played very well. So, after a professional coach basically says it works, why not try it, we had already had some success with it by accident in Yorkton.

In these time outs, I stood outside and yes, I eavesdropped on the first few conversations, which blew me away. The captain of the team stepped into the role of running the time out. She kept their attention, was encouraging, and was actually saying everything the coaching staff would have been saying. She was asking for input from the others and together they made a game plan then successfully executed it. At the beginning of games an injured player watched the other team warm up and brought that info to the team during these times.

After a game or two of listening in on their time out conversations, I eventually just walked away, it was handled. The girls are all capable: they’re intelligent and athletic, we’ve given them tools so letting them use them is important. No need to micromanage them at every step.

Their character and sense of team impresses me every day.

We also changed our team goal to help us get out of our slump, which is now kept on the shoes of the girls. One letter of the message is carried on the left shoe of each of the athletes, and no… none of the girls will tell you what it is.

Last year I had made a deal with them that if they got top eight in the province that I would get a tattoo of our logo. They did it, so I got the tattoo, and I haven’t regretted it for a second because of the people it represents. I’m thankful to coach such an amazing group of young women.

Chains that link us to the past My mother, who lives in Abbotsford, BC reads this column faithfully each week--every single word. My youngest daughter will always ask what it’s about before she ventures in. My sister…well, she scans the opening paragraph and then drops to the end.

Thanks, sis. Then again...I owe her.

I don’t remember many of Shelley Luedtke the details. What I now associate with the day are events as discussed in later years which form the greater part of the memory. It was a summer day. I was young-about 5 or 6--playing with my friend Jimmy who loved his bike as much as I loved mine. On this particular day (or maybe we’d done it before without incident) we were in my backyard where we’d turn our bikes upside down and were gleefully turning the pedals with our hands making the wheels spin as quickly as we could make them go. I recall sticking twigs and leaves in the chain and watching them splinter and fly apart. I don’t recall how the next part happened---but it did.

My little sister, four years younger than me, was in the backyard with us. Perhaps she was simply copying us, perhaps I goaded her into it, I’m not sure. I only know the end result was her little fingers getting tangled up in the bike chain which devoured the flesh and bone like kindling. I ran and got mom simply saying, “Mommy, Sheri’s bleeding.” My understatement may have been due to fear or shock, or simply not understanding the seriousness of the situation. I only know that Mom’s demeanour turned to alarm when she saw what had happened. The rest is a bit of a blur.

Adults running over to help. Sheri being wrapped in a blanket and carried quickly to a car. A fast trip to the hospital.

Soon my baby sister was sporting a bandaged up hand that resembled being encased in a brown boxing glove. It could have been worse. Much worse. Everything healed very well. A search for the tip of one of her fingers proved fruitless so she has a shorter digit on one hand. Ask her about it. She’ll show you. And then gauge the look of surprise on her face and you’ll see she didn’t read this column.

But I love her. We have a lifetime of shared experiences and a storehouse of laughter and tears, as well as incidents of confusion. Often, and I do mean often, we are called by each other’s names. I know it

happens to siblings all the time, but with us it also eerily occurs with people in other places who aren’t even aware we have a sister by that name.

Having a sibling has been a blessing to me. We are as different as could be, and more similar than we care to admit. She likes numbers and structure, I like words and informality. But we’re one and the same person when it comes to music. Most people walking into a room wouldn’t know for sure which one of us was playing the piano, which has allowed us the fun of tag teaming on songs--even if it’s in the middle of a stanza.

About 80% of us have at least one sibling.

Imagine being the child of Feodor Vassilyev and having 68 brothers and sisters. Some siblings work well together and great things happen as a result of their collaboration: from the aeronautical Wright Brothers to the tennis champion Williams sisters.

Other sibling relationships may work best when there is a turkey on the table and a tree in the corner.

Claudia Evart is an American woman who worked on getting April 10 formally recognized as National Siblings Day. She was inspired after losing her only two siblings early in life. Former presidents have shown support, as well as governors, senators, mayors, celebrities and cultural institutions. Last April 10 Siblings Day was the #1 trending topic on social media. One day it may rank with Mother’s and Father’s Day. According to the research, as children we spend more time with our sibling than anybody else and a close relationship is good for our health. As Mary Schmich stated in an essay made famous by Baz Luhrmann’s Everybody’s Free (To Wear Suncreen): “Be nice to your siblings, they’re your best link to your past, and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.”

If you have a great relationship with your brothers and sisters, take a moment to let them know what that family chain means to you, even if some of the links--or the chain itself--has caused past pain. If you wish you had a better relationship with a sibling, don’t let another moment go by without making an attempt to restore it.

Perhaps you are like Claudia Evart and your siblings are gone, or perhaps you were an only child. Consider then how good it is that we share this life with a sister and brotherhood that make up this global community. Because when it comes to family, DNA says a lot, but some TLC says so much more. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Mandatory Military Service: Service or Servitude?

Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

In my family, we have a joke. Years ago, my eldest daughter attended a preschool that happened to be located on a military base in Calgary and also happened to be a certain colonel’s pet project. It was a lovely place for little kids and had a decidedly unmilitary vibe, but we still tease her about attending military school at the tender age of three.

Clearly, this little anecdote illustrates the fact that I haven’t given much-well, any-thought to the possibility of mandatory military service for my kids or anyone else’s. So when Kelly walked into my office with a story about the necessity of Pittsburgh Penguin player Olli Maatta fulfilling his complusory military service requirement in his native Finland, I was surprised and more than a little perplexed.

Finland is a peaceful country, but unlike equally peaceful Canada, military service is not an option.

All Finnish males are required to serve six months or more in the country’s military and this service must be completed between the ages of 18 to 29.

And hockey stars are no exception.

As I write this, 21-year-old Maatta still hasn’t announced a date for when his service will begin, but he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “I know I have to do it. Everybody has to do it. It’s the law for our country. But they do a really good job working it out, because normally, it would be impossible for me to do it and play hockey at the same time.”

Maatta also said that fulfilling his duty to his country is often seen as a rite of passage and added that members of the Finnish national hockey team were able to complete their service requirements in a way that complemented-rather than competedwith their on-ice careers.

“They’re really good at working it out to make sure I get my summer training at the same time as doing the military service,” he said.

Other countries presently requiring compulsory military service include Israel (both men and women, but with an exemption clause that includes “low motivation”) and North and South Korea (no surprises there...).

But is compulsory military service a good idea?

On the plus side, mandatory military service has the potential to promote national unity, maintain an active and effective military force that can respond quickly and effectively to any threats, and possibly help to create a citizenry that is more interested and involved in government decision-making-especially when lives are on the line. And of course, there’s the age-old argument for military discipline as being “the making” of someone.

On the negative side, compulsory service of any kind is viewed by some as a clear violation of a citizen’s free will-especially within a democracy. And even if the term of service is only a relatively short period of time, it still has the potential to interfere with a young person’s plans for further education, or if Finland wasn’t so flexible- in the case of Maatta-his hockey career.

But beyond those concerns, military training has the very real potential to cause injury-or worse, fatal injury-to even the best young recruits.

And the psychological and physical stress during combat can adversely affect the most motivated of soldiers-let alone those who are ill-suited-and conscripted into service.

There are no easy answers, but the most compelling argument in favour of mandatory military service is that of equality. In many countries, many who serve do it in part to gain an education or a job that they might not be able to obtain otherwise.

Typically, children of privilege don’t join the military to pay for their college education.

The idea of mandatory military service means that at the very least, a nation is paying lip service to the idea that all citizens-the privileged, the poor, and those between those two extremes-are equal citizens and must all play their part in keeping their country safe and secure.

Editor’s Note . . .

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

Compulsory military service promotes nationalism Kelly Running Observer Staff

In Canada it’s not something we have to think about, we choose whether we serve or not, but in countries around the world mandatory military service is the norm.

Recently there was a story on CBC, which brought attention to this. Olli Maatta who is from Finland plays in the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Finland, however, is a country which follows a mandatory military service, which means the young man will be headed back to join the Finnish military as of April 18 although if the Penguins make playoffs the date will be postponed.

Maatta is expected to have his service broken up and instead of serving six consecutive months will serve a few months each summer until he’s completed his time.

Conscription and mandatory military service are both ways for countries to maintain and build their armies. Typically conscription occurs during times of unrest and war, while mandatory military service is something that countries utilize in times of peace – I’m kind of splitting hairs here with the words as they’re really the same thing, you’re required to join the military.

Historically mandatory military service has been documented since 221 B.C.E. within the Qin Empire of China, which allowed the nation to expand and conquer a large area.

In the Western world it really took hold during the French Revolutionary Wars. There had been conscription prior to the French Revolution.

However, the “Levée en masse,” as it has become known as, was put in place following The French Revolution of 1789 and was used in a different way than before. The leaders of the Revolutionary army became concerned with how they would maintain their army in the coming years, they decided on the “Levée en masse,” which actually developed

into an integral part of the creation of their new national identity.

Conscription comes and goes as government decides what is necessary during times of war, but it is not commonplace amongst nations at peace.

A quick Google search pointed out that there are actually many countries who utilize compulsory military service: Algeria, Angola, Armenia, Austria, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Chad, Colombia, and many, many more.

Other countries, like Myanmar and North Korea, also maintain compulsory military service.

These are the countries I feel like you’d expect to have such an initiative, so why do countries like Finland maintain their compulsory service?

Just as it promoted a national identity during the French Revolutionary Wars, it remains a way to promote unity amongst citizens and maintains their national identity through a shared experience. Regardless of who you are whether you’re rich or poor, an NHL player or a farmer it promotes the fact that every citizen is equal. The nation bonds over the fact that they have all served and have been through military training.

Arguably the best time to train military personnel is in times of peace. By having compulsory service every citizen is trained and in a world of uncertainty it leaves a population of trained military personnel, who at a time of conflict would be more capable of defending their country than those countries having to train people who have never had any training before. It allows them to be prepared for anything and to mobilize an entire nation quickly in defense of itself.

Military service also allows citizens to develop technical skills that they can use as citizens following their service as well as developing a culture of teamwork, responsibility, respect, stress management, and developing a healthy lifestyle in the sense that being active in younger years carries through as people age.

The Cougars Comeback Season is official

Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Carlyle Cougars Comeback Season is official as the Big Six League approved the re-entrance of the team into the Big Six for the 2016-17 season at a league meeting on Tuesday, March 29.

The announcement was made by the Carlyle Cougars social media sites following the meeting.

“Now that we’re officially in the league we’ll be nailing down the details,” Dallas Lequyer, President of the Carlyle Cougars Board, explained. “We’re finalizing the jerseys, talking a lot about putting together a fundraiser this summer, whether that’s a golf tournament or a ball hockey tournament, and in the next couple of weeks we should have a

decision made on that.”

“We’ve also been in talks of redoing the Cougars dressing room at some point in the future.”

The team folded following the 2012-13 season due to a lack of players. The season saw 20 individuals sign up to play, but were reduced to eight to 10 players by playoffs. With the reemergence of the team, however, there has been

B & A HOLDINGS LTD. • Custom LED Lighting (business & residential) • Tree removal and stump grinding • Industrial Hedge Trimming • Farm yard wind row restoration • Landscaping • Demolition (cabins, garages) • Cement take out and hauling • Dump Runs • Light Carpentry • Deck Building

• 50 4x4 Aerial Lift • Aerating, Power raking • Lot sweeping • Skidsteer work • Auger holes (4” to 24”-13’ deep) • Screw piles • Asphalt sealing & crack filling (Commercial & Residential)

a lot of interest shown with approximately 37 guys saying they would like to be part of the #ComebackSeason – as it’s been dubbed on social media.

The team has found great support in local businesses already and have taken on a title sponsor, who has been working with the team to cover the initial costs of starting up the team.

Next season the team will be known as the Carlyle PureChem Cougars.

One of the big items, which has drawn interest from players and has catapulted the Cougars’ Comeback Season into reality was the determination of those wanting to bring the team back to form a board of directors, which would alleviate the pressure of playing and

organizing. This came together quite quickly with an interest meeting held on Wednesday, March 2, and volunteers coming forward for the board and to become the coaching staff.

Although final positions hadn’t been decided when the board first formed, they have since come together with Dallas Lequyer (President), Dean Lequyer (Team Manager), Tim Lequyer (Head Coach), Brian Hagel (Secretary), Deb Chalus (Treasurer), Todd Brady (Player Rep), Mike Brown (Marketing), Jared Riddell, Wade Robertson, Kirk Himmelspach, and Steve Mossing as members at large.

White Bear athletes work hard at Sask First Nations Winter Games Kelly Running Observer Staff

Gina Joyea and Desmond Littlechief trained 35 badminton athletes within the 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U competitions.

They began preparing the athletes for the games in January of this year. A total of 29 of these athletes competed at the Winter Games in Lloydminster.

“All tried very hard,” Tanya Littlechief, White Bear councillor, explained. “We had five badminton teams make it to the semi finals: 12U girls doubles Shelaine Pinacie and Dalilah Lit-

The 16U mixed doubles badminton team battled hard against the Agency Chief Tribal Council in the final taking home silver for South East Treaty 4 Tribal Council. Tyrell Littlechief (centre) and Angel Akachuck (right) stand with their medals.

The 14U girls were coached by Diette Kinistino and Isaac Kinistino of White Bear. They made it to the bronze medal match but after a tough battle lost out. The 16U team also put up a good fight throughout the weekend earning a bronze medal, while the 18U female volleyball team put in a solid and impressive showing at the competition going undefeated throughout to earn gold. White Bear players helping the team to the win included Summer Longie, Schuyler Longie, Carlie Standingready,

Chantrel Laracetre, Shantel Taypotat, and Autumn Kakakaway.

Both the basketball teams and hockey teams put in solid efforts, but did not make it to the semi-finals.

“Our basketball team was winless, but they tried hard and gave it their all, they had a lot of fun,” Seaton explained.

“Our midgets in hockey were also winless and the other teams – bantam and peewee – made playoffs, but didn’t make the playoff rounds.

Ensuring a successful trip were also everyone

behind the scenes including the volunteer chaperones of approximately 20 and the games coordinator, Seaton, who organized on behalf of White Bear Sports, Culture, and Recreation.

“A huge shout out to the chaperones, coaches, and trainers, and of course, our coordinator, Lee Seaton,” Littlechief said.

Next up for the athletes of White Bear First Nation is preparation for training at the North American Indigenous Games 2017 to be held in Toronto.

The 18U girls volleyball team had an extremely successful First Nations Winter Games 2016 as they went undefeated earning gold. White Bear players contributing to the success of the team included (not in order) Summer Longie, Schuyler Longie, Carlie Standingready, Chantrel Laracetre, Shantel Taypotat, and Autumn Kakakaway.

It was a successful week for White Bear First Nations youth who participated in the 2016 Saskatchewan First Nations Winter Games, which was hosted by Onion Lake Cree Nation between March 27 and April 1 at Lloydminster.

The youth competed against 12 other teams from across Saskatchewan.

A total of 52 youth from White Bear helped to round out a team which also included youth from Ochapowace First Nations to form the South East Treaty Four Tribal Council team; this they do for both the winter and summer games as they’re held.

White Bear athletes competed in badminton, volleyball, basketball, and hockey, although the competition also hosted curling, table tennis, and broom ball.

“It was a great experience for them,” Lee Seaton, games coordinator, explained. “All of our teams were very well represented and all of the athletes had a lot of fun.

There are a lot of good athletes from White Bear and from other tribal councils, and it’s exciting to see the up and coming athletes.”

tlechief, 14U girls doubles Breeanne Peepeech and Ashawnti Littlechief, 14U singles Ashawnti Little Chief, 16U girls doubles Chloe Sunkawaste and Angel Akachuck, and the 16U mixed doubles Tyrell Littlechief and Angel Akachuck.”

“In the end the badminton team’s 16U mixed managed to battle for the gold, however, they got silver, which made us very proud!”

“Not only did our badminton team do well we also had our 14U, 16U, and 18U female volleyball make it to their semi finals.”

Haley Chapman was on fire throughout the weekend bringing tough serving, crazy digs, and hard hits to the team.

The Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club competed over the weekend, April 2-3, in Regina at the University of Regina

for the third Sask Cup of the year. The girls had been unsuccessful in the prior Sask Cup and went into this one determined.

The girls walked away from the weekend with only one loss and six wins, which showcased their skills and abilities as athletes, but their G.R.I.T. and determination shone through.

The girls started the weekend off in a pool with the Red Coat Rebels, Waldheim United, Melfort Storm, and Moose Jaw Element Panthers. It was a very tough pool with good competition. The girls beat Melfort after getting off to a slow start to the day. Still finding their legs that morning the girls then took on the Moose Jaw Panthers.

The Panthers played an exceptional game making it tough to get a ball down on them resulting in a three match game, which would eventually go to the Panthers.

With a record of one and one, the girls made the decision to come out strong in the remaining games and not let up, which is exactly what they did. The Vipers took wins over the Rebels and United in two sets each, which left them in second in their pool.

Disappointed there was no crossover game with another pool the Vipers were placed in Division 2, Tier 2. Not letting their disappointment of not having an opportunity to see if they could take down a team from another pool to get to Tier 1, the girls were resolved to continue playing well and not letting the schedule get to them.

The Vipers came out on fire the next day going undefeated in games against Yorkton, La Loche, and – in a battle – against Foam Lake to earn Div 2, Tier 2 gold.

The girls play again this weekend, April 8-9, at the University of Regina in the 16U Cougars Volleyball Club’s home tournament.

bserved At Auctioneer Scott Bryce presided over the live auction at the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation’s 14th annual fundraiser in Arcola on Saturday, April 2. Bryce donated his services to the cause, contributing to the success of the evening.

Victoria Flynn, 12, praises the Arcola archery classes made possible through the support of the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation. “It’s my first year in archery,” says Flynn. “And it’s awesome.

The instructors are great and they taught me how to shoot well. When I started, I hardly hit anything and now, I hit just about every arrow in the centre.”

Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation’s 14th Annual Fundraiser & Auction

Held at Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall on Saturday, April 2, the event was a sell-out, with 280 in attendance. The evening featured a cocktail hour, a beef and pork supper, live and silent auctions, and numerous raffles. All proceeds support the MMWF’s many projects throughout southeast Saskatchewan.

Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation President Harry Laurent (left) accepts a donation of $750 from Saskatchewan Conservation Officer John Worsley (right), which was made possible through the Alternative Measures program.

Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation President Harry Laurent-pictured here with wife Debra Laurent-says, “This year, we have our largest crowd ever-we have 280 people in attendance. For a sluggish economy, we can’t thank the people and businesses in our area enough for their generous support.”

The catering team of (l-r) Cindy Weir, Rylan Weir, Aiza Weir, Teresa Fox and Pam Weir were acknowledged with applause by the nearly 300 diners who attended the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation’s 14th Annual Fundraiser and Auction in Arcola, Saturday, April 2. The Weirs not only prepared a beef and pork supper with all the trimmings-they also donated a beef roast and a pork roast to be auctioned to help raise funds for the MMWF’s many projects and programs.

(L-r) Donna Flynn, Carol Brown and Elaine Kraemer were just a few of the volunteers who made the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation’s 14th Annual Fundraiser and Auction a success.

Although the evening’s final fundraising tally was not available at press time, the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation funded in excess of $20,000 to area projects and programs last year. These included supporting Habitat Trust, funding youth camps, donating award bursaries to graduating students in Arcola, Carlyle, Kisbey, Lampman and Stoughton, stocking dugouts, improving boat launches at White Bear Lake and at the Alameda Dam, sponsoring the Moose Mountain Wildlife Archery Club, supporting the Moose Mountain Rehabilitation Centre, hosting and purchasing supplies for hunter safety courses, and the purchase of a resource protection trailer.

Wawota Sledge Hockey Tournament celebrates third year Melanie Brimner’s dream of making Canada’s favourite game accessible to her son has grown to include participants of all ages and physical abilities from throughout the province, as the Wawota Sledge Hockey Tournament entered its third year, held in Wawota on Friday, April 1 to Sunday, April 3.

“I wanted to do this for my son, Blake (Lamontagne),” says Brimner, who founded the event in 2014. “He was in a car accident seven years ago and I wanted to see him play and I wanted to see my boys (Blake, 25 and Blaine, 21) play hockey together. There are a few guys here in Wawota that have cerebral palsy and they’ve never had the chance to play hockey, either.”

“This is just a good way to get people on the ice who’ve never had the chance to play Canada’s game.”

The tournament has since grown to include players from 10-to 65-years-old from throughout the province and has also become a successful fundraiser, with contributions aiding the Wawota Community forum, STARS Air Ambulance and the Saskatchewan Wheelchair Sports Association. This year’s SWSA contribution will be made in memory of wheelchair athlete, Chris Pearson, who passed away in December 2015.

“We’ve had a lot of interest,” says Brimner.

“And it just keeps growing. We have had teams from Regina, Saskatoon Winnipeg and Brandon, as well as teams from throughout our local area.”

“On Friday night, it’s our fun night. Anyone who wants to come out and give sledge hockey a try is welcome to come out. At first, not many people knew what sledge hockey was. But basically, the sledge is like a chair you use on the ice.”

Teams are made up of four players, including a

Melanie Brimner’s (pictured) mission to bring hockey to “everyone and anyone who wants to play” was once again a success as Wawota hosted its third annual Sledge Hockey Tournament, April 1-3 at the Wawota Forum. The three-day event was founded by Brimner in 2014. “I wanted to do this for my son Blake Lamontagne,” she says. “He was in a car accident seven years ago and I wanted to see him play and I wanted my boys to be able to play hockey together. There are a few guys here in Wawota that have cerebral palsy and they’ve never had he chance to play hockey, either. This is just a good way to get people on the ice who’ve never had the chance to play Canada’s game.” The event is also a fundraiser for the Wawota Community Forum, STARS Air Ambulance and the Saskatchewan Wheelchair Sports Association. This year’s SWSA contribution will be made in honour of Chris Pearson, who passed away in December. Pictured with Brimner are players (l-r) Travers Stephan of Broadview, Jordan Holzafel of Indian Head and Scott Knelsen, Blake Lamontagne and Colton Easton, all of Wawota.

Gail McLachlin spent ten days in Calgary over the Easter Break visiting with her family, daughter Grace, Luke Mckenna, son Mitchell Cowie and Andrea Gohm and had extra special time with her granddaughter Thea Mckenna. On the way to Calgary she also visited with her parents Ken and June McLachlin at Cabri, SK. Daz Dupris and Jennifer Godwin and family have moved from their home (north of Alida) to Redvers.

We wish them all the

NEWS

Friday, April 8, 2016

best in their new home.

Hope you don’t forget about us and come back for a visit sometime.

Our loss is Redvers gain.

Dale and Linda Potapinski and Prudent and Joey Mailhiot have returned home after their holiday trip to Mexico.

Our winter “snowbirds” have returned back from their winter stay in the bonny south of United States. Welcome back folks.

I was notified of the sudden death of Lorne

Brownell of Redvers, who had passed away on April 1 2016. At this time I’d like to extend our sincerest sympathy to the Brownell family – Steven, Tania, Justin, Haley and Owen as well as to all other family members. His funeral will be held at the Associated Gospel Church in Maryfield on Thursday, April 7.

Gray was surprised the other day (April 1) when he noticed a flock of wild turkeys casually striding through the barn yard, among the trees and across our

yard and spending a few moments by the garden enjoying the warmth of the afternoon by being out of the wind before continuing on the way to wherever.

There must have been about 15-18 turkeys, the largest flock that I’m ever seen. (This was no April fools folks, honest).

Sunday breakfast was served at the 361 Café on April 3 and there was a good crowd that attended. They have decided that they will serve breakfast every Sunday morning – come and enjoy a delicious breakfast with Deb. April is now here and we have sure had a mixture of weather, nice one day and cool the

next. The ground has even been re-coved in snow a couple of times.

In fact it’s been dang cold with a miserable cold wind blowing.

Hopefully it will blow in some nice warm spring weather soon, that I’m sure we are all waiting impatiently for. One can definitely notice that spring has sprung – the pussy willows are out showing off their little “paws”, lots of different birds are also showing up daily and some say they have seen crocuses (I haven’t noticed them yet, but will take their word for it). Of course there are lots of baby calves that are arriving daily as well. One thing the snow coverings that we’ve been receiving

overnight does not hang around for very long, old Mr. Sun does see to that job. Hope everyone has enjoyed their spring break from their studies and before one knows it another learning season will be over with.

Good luck students in the remaining school year. It is the Provincial Election Day on Monday (April 4) – make sure that you vote for your chosen candidate. See you at the polls.

Once again please remember to report your news either by phone (306-44302496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@ sasktel.net). Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

The beginning of another month today the hopeful man sees success where others see failure, sunshine where others see shadow and storm.

Irvin and Marilyn Johnston had a good holiday in Maricote Arizona for three weeks, they spent two weeks visiting Ervineís sisters Doreen and Eva which they all enjoyed with the sight seeing trips they made, also visited with the Bratens and McLeods, a niece in Colorado and a friend Bob Humphries in Scot City Kansas.

Lanny and Jean Sostorics spent the Easter celebration with their son Mark and family in Calgary.

Shelley Bow of Hudson Bay spent this past weekend with her parents Tony and Jean Cancade.

Holly Keith of Weyburn also spent the weekend with her mother and Melvin Lineman.

Karrissa Bertalon of Regina is home for a few days with her parents and visiting her grandmother Yvonne Bertalon.

Joseph and Gloria Bourhis had all their family home this past week Bev and Jay Boherson and family of Hanley (their youngest daughter Sienna had come home with Carla and family when they were in Hanley for the Easter weekend). Debbie of Arcola, Earl, Danielle and family, the highlight of the week was a trip for 13 members of the family attending the Brandon Winter fair, thanks to Joseph and Gloria.

Bert and Mona West enjoyed their time at the

curling held in Swift Current recently. I understand there were a number of folks from the local area enjoying the same entertainment.

Laurie Williamson of Edmonton, AB spent the past week with her parents Joe and Eva Raiwet, Donna Trafiak of Regina is spending some time at home with her mother this week while her father is in the respite home in Kipling. During the winter all the family members have been taking turns coming to Kennedyóthatís what I call dedication to Dad and Mum. There was a very good attendance at the Friendship bingo held last Thursday at the Community hall. Winners were: Marion Yuhasz, Marlene Penney, Jeremy Green, Joe Yuhasz, Karrissa Bertalon, Sue Cummins, Doreen Cancade, Esther Barsi, Jeanne Molnar, Deanna Wipf, Greg Szilagyi, the two donated bingo prizes were donated by Marion Yuhasz and Betty Penney, these were won

by Doreen and Jim Szilagyi. The 50/50 draw was won by Lorraine Gurr, and the black out by Violet Daku. Betty Penney of Arcola had donated a quilt to the centre which was raffled and the winner was Leanne Lawrence, thanks to Betty and everyone who bought tickets which amounted to over $300.00.

Thought for the week. The more you give yourself to others, the more joy and peace will flow into your own life have a good week.

I appreciated those who shared their news with me this week!

Preparing to succeed

By Linda Wegner It’s been more than fifteen years since I wrote my first business-related article; today, highlighting the accomplishments of businesses, their owners, their employees and their clients comprises the bulk of my work. This weekly article is the primary exception.

Over those years of interviewing, researching and writing about the challenges and victories faced by entrepreneurs taught me so much: the need for strategic planning; the importance of determining where you want to go and how you intend to get there; and, a well thought out financial plan.

Who can’t think of what looked like a sureto-succeed enterprise, only to see it fail. Though unable to control circumstances such as the general economy, it’s essential to plan for competition and a strong business plan. Speaking of competition, I have been stunned at the number of local restaurants that have opened and closed their doors within the past five years. Who knows why some

failed while others enjoy still enjoy resounding success.

Looking back on those years I’ve gained a fresh perspective on how the same factors influence our personal and our spiritual lives. Christian growth, like any other kind of growth, requires commitment, planning and above all, constant input.

Spirituality is popular these days; discipleship, not so much. To grow in our walk with Christ requires a daily decision to follow in His ways, no matter what the cost. It also needs regular nourishment that’s derived from reading Scripture, prayer and fellowship.

But lest I make living a Christian life sound like drudgery, here’s the great news: God believes in you and me! He cheers us on! He pours out His blessing and His encouragement in the toughest of circumstances and He’s made every provision for our success! “…and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also (and still is) able to perform.”

Pensions decisions – six keys to a great retirement You’ve undoubtedly thought a lot about the “shape” of your retirement – but whether your plans include traveling, volunteering, starting a new career, or a myriad of other retirement dreams, the most important thing is having sufficient finances to ensure all of them become reality. If you are a member of a pension plan, now is the time to make some important decisions that will have a strong impact on the amount and length of your pension.

Decide when your pension payments will begin. If you have a defined benefit pension plan, your annual benefit may be reduced if you retire before reaching a certain age or completing a minimum service requirement. However, your plan may

have a bridging benefit to offset an early retirement pension reduction that is paid from the date of early retirement up to age 65 when it will stop.

Decide whether or not your pension benefit transfers to your spouse when you die.

You can usually: Elect to receive a life-only pension that ends when you die. It will deliver a higher monthly benefit to you than a joint and last survivorship pension but will not provide a continuing benefit for your spouse after you die. The plan member’s spouse will need to sign a waiver to take this option.

Crop Variety Selection Cory Jacob, Regional Crops Specialist, Watrous, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture

With spring here, a lot of decisions need to be made regarding cropping choices for the upcoming field season.

Deciding which crops to grow is usually a simpler process than deciding on which varieties

to grow. Care should be taken to select a variety suited to your farm operation and caution should be taken at times to not always grow the same variety as your neighbour for the sake of simplicity.

ARCOLA, SASK

REQUIRES EXPERIENCED 1A TANK TRUCK DRIVERS

Scheduled Days Off Health & Dental Plan Accommodations Available

the buildup of inoculum and lowers the chances of a pathogen or fungus developing resistance to a fungicide or certain mode of action. This is similar for varieties with insect resistance such as wheat midge tolerant wheat and the development of solid stemmed wheat varieties to minimize saw fly damage, which leads me to lodging. Lodging directly influences how enjoyable harvest time is and can’t be prevented in certain situations. Typically, a shorter variety will lodge less than a taller one, but the tradeoff is competitiveness with weeds. A taller variety has a better chance of intercepting sunlight for photosynthesis and being able to choke out

and smother weeds, showing how crop variety choice can influence weed control.

The 2016 Varieties of Grain Crops is a very useful tool in variety choices as it provides information about crop varieties and characteristics such as yield, maturity, disease resistance, seed size, and lodging. In contrast to the 2016 SaskSeed guide, includes information on variety availability among pedigreed seed growers in the province and shows the 2015 Canola performance trials. I would strongly encourage any producers to use these resources as they are very informative.

The variety guide uses variety testing information based on four main

production areas in Saskatchewan and these areas are classified by their agro-climatic conditions, similar to our soil zones. It is also a useful tool for comparing new varieties to old ones as yield for example will be based on a percent of a check variety such as Carberry for wheat, 73-75 RR for canola, and CDC Golden for field pea.

It is important to take the time to consider the best-suited variety or varieties for your farm situation.

When selecting varieties, please consider maturity, insect and disease resistance along with yield, these are among numerous other variety characteristics to be considered.

Select the joint and last survivorship option. While your monthly benefit will be lower, the “joint and last survivor” option is usually better unless your spouse has his or her own pension, Registered Retirement Savings Plan, and/or non-registered assets or adequate insurance coverage.

Choosing the survivor benefit. Not all plans allow you to do this – check the details of your plan. In most jurisdictions, the ‘standard’ survivor benefit is 60% of the pension that was being paid to you prior to death, however some plans will include other options such as 66

2/3%, 75% and 100% survivor benefits.

Do you have the option of receiving your pension benefit for a guaranteed minimum number of payments?

Some plans allow you to choose to receive monthly pension payments over a minimum term of 5, 10 or 15 years – meaning that even if you die prematurely, the benefit will be paid for the minimum period you selected.

Does your plan have a CPP (Canada Pension Plan) or OAS (Old Age Security) integration option? If so, you can choose to receive an ad-

vance on your pension in the form of larger monthly payments until age 65, when CPP and OAS benefits normally begin. This option will result in reduced monthly payments after the age of 65.

Do you have the option to transfer the commuted value of your pension to a locked-in account?

Instead of receiving a monthly lifetime pension, you transfer the commuted value of your pension to an account you control.

Among other financial decisions, these six key pension decisions will help ensure your retirement dreams will be-

come reality. To be sure your decisions are right for you, talk to your professional advisor.

It is very tempting to select a crop variety based solely on yield as yield pays the bills.

A variety should be selected based on the location of your farm and production practices.

Maturity is important and can impact seeding and harvest dates and the risk of frost. An early maturing variety can be seeded late and have a good chance at maturing, while a later maturing variety requires an early seeding date or else the crop may not be mature when the first frost takes place.

Disease resistance is another important factor as it may reduce reliance on fungicides, but when combined with a fungicide provides very good disease control, which lessens

Friday, April 8, 2016

The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport will be launching its campsite reservation system for the 2016 summer season on Monday, April 11.

This will be a staggered launch, with different parks opening for reservations over a ten day period.

The launch schedule is as follows: Monday,

April 11: Blackstrap, Pike Lake; Tuesday, April 12: Buffalo Pound, Danielson, Douglas; Wednesday, April 13: Echo Valley, Rowan’s Ravine; Thursday, April 14: Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Greenwater Lake; Friday, April 15: Crooked Lake, Moose Mountain; Saturday, April 16: Cypress Hills; Sunday, April

Campgrounds will open for reservations later in the spring.

During the launch period, a queuing system will be implemented to help to manage the demand and ensure technical stability.

Reservations will open at 7 a.m. each day, and the queue waiting area will begin each morning at 6:40 a.m. At

7 a.m., customers in the queue waiting area will receive a random number and will the enter reservation website in staggered batches based on their unique number.

Anyone attempting to access the reservation website after 7 a.m. will be placed at the end of the line.

If you plan to book during launch, we

Farmers with intentions and Mother Nature’s co-operation

By Calvin Daniels Spring has always been a special time in the world of farming.

Of course it is the time of obvious renewal.

Farmers have planned out their cropping intentions, and with just a bit of cooperation from Mother Nature they will follow that plan through the coming months.

But that is only part of what this time of year is about.

While today rural roads are such that winter travel is not a problem that was not always the case. I spent more than a few days away from school growing up because roads were simply not passable by the school bus. That seems like a near thing of the past these days as rarely are rural roads that bad now.

But there is that near tradition of farmers being somewhat confined to the chores at home over the winter, although more a mindset today than a reality.

Still, as spring arrives farmers get in their trucks and head out to socialize.

In my job as a journalist covering agriculture I see the element of spring socialization among farmers manifest itself in a number of ways.

There are seminars and workshops in spring, and of course meetings of organizations.

As an example from April 20-22 the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds Conference will be held at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton.

And the Yorkton Spring 4-H Show was just held in the city. It might be targeted at youth in the showering, but it is a chance for their parents to talk about what lies ahead in terms of the new calf crop now on the ground on many farms, or what crop they think might generate the best return in the months ahead.

It was the same thing when I attended a Charolais bull sale on the Neilson farm near Willowbrook recently, and will be again as I attend similar events in the coming weeks.

While there is the serious business of seeking out the next bull that will be half the genetic

package of some 200plus calves in the coming years on the farm, there is also plenty of time to socialize at bull sales. In fact you will find a number of people at such sales who are not there to buy a bull at all.

They are simply there to support the producers whose stock is on offer, and to spend time with other producers talking shop.

That is one thing that I can say as a

journalist I envy among farmers. They are always just down the road a few miles from someone in a similar line of work to bounce new ideas off, or to simply vent over the lousy price of oats, or the lack of a rain cloud in the sky for weeks.

In my line of work the next newspaper journalist, other than the ones I work with who generally face the same collective challenges of working on a

common publication, are a major community away, and rarely do our path cross.

It’s not like on the farm where producers will have days in the coming weeks when the fields are still too wet to get a tractor onto so they will head down the rural road to attend a farm auction or two.

Most in attendance will not drag home a new air seeder, or sprayer. They probably

won’t even toss out a bid, but they will buy a friend a cup of coffee, may chomp down a hotdog, and they’ll spend the day swapping stories with others cut from the common cloth of those willing to gamble on the weather and world commodity prices to make a living as a farmer.

It’s never been an easy life, from the time the first farmer collected wild seeds and decided to plant them in a row,

but it has always been important work.

And sometimes you need an informal support system for it all to make sense, and that is just what farmers have reared over the years each spring turning farm auctions, bull sales and similar gatherings into a time combining business and socialization, both equally important as they prepare for a new year of challenges in the field.

Protect your elm trees: Don’t prune from April 1 to August 31 To reduce the risk of Dutch elm disease (DED), pruning of elm trees will once again be prohibited throughout Saskatchewan from April 1 to August 31.

Elm bark beetles that spread the disease are most active during this time of year. Fresh cuts from pruning can attract the insects and increase the chance of a

line reservations will be available at some parks past the Labour Day long weekend. Certain campgrounds at The Battlefords, Blackstrap, Cypress Hills, Danielson, Douglas, Narrow Hills and Rowan’s Ravine will offer online reservations

DED infection.

Proper elm tree pruning outside the annual ban period helps keep trees healthy and better able to resist all diseases, including DED. Removing dead and dying elm wood through pruning also helps reduce places for

beetles to breed, and curbs their populations.

Throughout the year, including during the ban period, DED-infected elms should be removed promptly.

Provincial regulations require commercial pruners of elm trees to complete a recog-

nized training program or be under the supervision of someone who has. Improper pruning techniques can spread many tree diseases, including DED. Because of the risk of spreading DED, transporting or storing elm firewood is ille-

gal. Elm wood must be disposed of promptly, using the method and locations chosen by each municipality.
