“Soul”stice Week at the Sustainability Project

By Mary Moffat marymoffat@sasktel.net The Sustainability Project held three events in the week leading up to its Grand Opening on June 21.

In the spirit of building the kind of community where people love to live, the events were geared to catering to your soul.

The June 18th evening hosted Montmarte author, Christalee Froese of the More Joy Project. Froese shared things learned as she discovered her Journey to Joy. The book titled “Journey to Joy” details her discoveries after a nervous breakdown. Froese addressed the subjects of depression and anxiety and spoke about discovering your social self, your essential self, challenging false thoughts and choosing to create new, more joyful habits 21 days at a time, as you discover what robs you of your enthusiasm for life and ways to restore that joy.

June 19th was an evening of Doodling for Relaxation, led by the talented Lorri Solomon-Matthewson. This class was relaxing for some, while challenging for others, but everyone left that evening with a new appreciation for the things that you can create, once you let go of your self-limiting thoughts.

On June 20th author Kenneth Kerr shared how a life worth living is a life worth recording. There was a lot of information shared over the span of two hours, from why you should journal to suggestions on how to get more out of it. Kerr had five main points to journaling: look for sideroads; a lesson will be repeated until it is learned; healing the mind; discovering your purpose; and gratitude. These were followed by methods and approaches such as traditional, intelligently, thematically or digitally. For more information you can check out www.ALifeWorthJournaling.com.

Friday, June 21, members of the community gathered for the ribbon cutting ceremony at The Sustainability Project Grand Opening. Lorri Solomon-Matthewson spoke about how this project came to be in existence, her goals and her dreams for the future of sustainable communities. Carlyle Mayor Wayne Orsted and Nicole Currie of the Chamber of Commerce joined Mathewson and Jennifer Sedor for the ribbon cutting, followed by snacks, visiting and discussions regarding this community and ideas for the future.

Weather for the week . . .

Friday, June 28 ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, are you up to stepping outside of your comfort zone?

Embrace the challenge and try something completely different from your normal routine. You just may like it.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Let problems flow over you like water off of a duck’s back, Taurus. Worrying will only make things worse, and it’s completely unproductive anyway.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Work on nurturing a relationship that has been pushed to the side for some time, Gemini. Rekindling communication is a great way to start things off anew.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Keep an open mind when someone presents an idea to you, Cancer.

It’s easy to blow it off without a thought, but you should be more amenable to listening and advising.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Now may be the time to share responsibilities with others, Leo. This is especially true if you are facing deadlines and simply cannot meet them in time.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Accept help when it is offered, Virgo. This makes helpful people feel good that they can do you a service. You will have an

opportunity to reciprocate in time.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Not everyone is on board with your new plan, Libra. You may have to present it a few times before you get a few takers. Be persistent to win others over.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though it seems like there are many obstacles in your path, you will be able to get through relatively unscathed if you have the right people on your side.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, relaxation is essential right now, as you have had many things on your plate. Do not feel like you are slacking off if you take some time to give yourself a break.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Let others in your family know how you are feeling. You don’t have to put on a show or mask your emotions, Capricorn. They’ll love and support your decisions.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Have faith in your decisions even if they don’t entirely make sense on paper, Aquarius. You will have a line of supporters waiting in your corner in no time at all.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, things are changing rapidly in your life and you may feel like you have to play catch up.

Target some areas to focus your attention.

Mad Skills lead to Russia

By Mary Moffat

marymoffat@sasktel.net

Ryan Folk is heading to Kazan, Russia. While his family watched with pride, he was awarded first place in Electrical Installations at the National SkillsCanada competition in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Folk is one of 32 members of the WorldSkills Team Canada 2019, competing at the 45th WorldSkills Competition in Kazan, Russia from August 2227. He will be representing Canada with the goal of earning the title of world champion in his area of electrical Installations.

Folk is excited to be

representing Saskatchewan as well as Canada, and is one of only seven from our province.

Over 1,300 competitors from 70 countries and regions will compete in over 50 skill areas representing six sectors: Manufacturing and Engineering Technology; Information and Communication Technology; Construction and Building Technology; Transportation and Logistics; Creative Arts and Fashion; Social and Personal Services.

Folk will be judged on installing electrical wireways, motor controls, smart relay controls, KNX home auto-

mation, and use of different wiring methods, as well as time, safety, neatness, functionality and code. He is still anxiously awaiting the information packet, listing all the materials he will be using.

While he admits to being a little nervous about the upcoming competition, he was quite comfortable once he was actually participating in the Nationals, stating that he had practiced so much that once he got started it was almost routine. He is not so sure that will be the case once he is in Russia, but he intends to enjoy every moment of it.

TMX approval should restore balance and reason

By Murray Mandryk The news that the federal Liberal government has approved the Trans Mountain (TMX) pipeline isn’t just good news from the economic perspective.

Obviously, approval of TMX is great news for the Alberta economy in particular, as it will be oilsands oil that will be flowing through that pipeline in, hopefully, the not-too-distant future.

In turn, good news for the Saskatchewan even if it’s not our oil that will directly benefit.

Any positive development in the oil sector in Alberta now means good news for the oil sector here, arguably, a change when most of the oil development happened to the west of us. Now, whatever can be done expand our oil customer base beyond the U.S. is a good thing for everyone.

Also, anything that gets oil off the rails is good for not only Saskatchewan oil but also for potash, grain and oil seed/pulse crop movement.

Premier Scott Moe has certainly made all these arguments in his lobby for TMX. And it now appears that Moe, who has opposed most everything Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has done, seem to be on the same page, when it comes to the need to see TMX as better, safer alternative.

Moe called the announcement good news because “TMX crucial to our energy sector, market access and jobs.”

“We need to create wealth today, so we can invest in the future,” Trudeau said while making the announcement, noting that his government already approved the twinning of this pipeline.

After examining the effect TMX would have on the marine environment and meeting with 65 indigenous groups, Trudeau said he believes his government has met all concerns.

“We listened to community concerns and we are acting on community ideas,” he said. “Now, it’s time to take the next step.”

That means “shovels in the ground this construction season,” the Prime Minister said, vowing to invest the extra $500 million in annual tax revenue from the pipeline into clean energy.

Not surprisingly, this announcement was met with outrage from the federal NDP and environmentalists, who would never be satisfied with anything short of cancelation of the project.

But while Moe was still eager to reiterate his criticism of the federal government over Bills C-69 and C-48 a, the bills, respectively, imposing environmental restrictions on major project developments like pipelines and restrictions on West Coast tankers, the agreement on TMX is a definite positive.

In a very real way, the renewed approval for TMX may bring a bit sanity back into political debate.

It was just a week earlier that Moe and Alberta United Conservative Party Premier Jason Kenney were framing these questions as a matter of national unity.

“It is the Prime Minister who is threatening national unity through his stunning combination of arrogance and indifference to the concerns of Canada’s energy and industrial sectors, and the thousands of hardworking people these sectors employ in communities across the nation,” Moe said in a prepared statement just five days before the TMX announcement.

Ironically, Moe’s comments also came the day that the Courts ruled that Husky Oil needed to shell out $3.8 million for damages from their pipeline oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River three years ago.

It was a reminder that there is always a need for a balance needed in government, in this case, between economic interests and environmental ones.

It’s clear that hasn’t been happening under the Trudeau government. But it would only be fair to say that Moe and company haven’t exactly adde much balance and reason to the debate, either.

With this TMX approval, maybe we can finally get past the nonsensical rhetoric and move forward on what needs to get done in this country.

From sea to sea to sea I spent the month of February with my daughter and sister on a mission trip in Romania. One of the places we spent a fair bit of time was a charming venue called the International Café; a coffee house where young adults come for language lessons, games or movies nights, and cultural presentations.

When they heard we were coming, those that run the cofShelley Luedtke fee house ministry asked if we would organize a Canada Culture night. Along with sharing reflections we were told how much people would appreciate some type of snack; one that would be identified as Canadian.

So we filled every available nook in our suitcases with a supply of dried Saskatoon berries, maple-leaf shaped cookies, and the ingredients needed to make batches of a Canadian treasure--puffed wheat cake.

Deciding what to talk about took more time. From landscapes to politics to entertainment we wondered what would be best to share.

Even though we were standing mere blocks from the shore of the Black Sea, pictures of Canada’s natural beauty elicited many appreciative comments, as did our information about our history and government, actors and athletes, landmarks and fun facts, in a room filled with people from Romania, the United States, Brazil, South Korea, Scotland and Syria.

We were asked to do the presentation again a week later, this time to a group of youth. We made more puffed wheat cake, got berries and cookies ready to serve up but I couldn’t help but wonder how we might keep their attention through a translated presentation. But not only did they listen, they listened so attentively their questions afterward were insightful and fascinating. They were fully engaged with what we had to say and talked enthusiastically about points of comparison and contrast with their country.

I thought back to an interaction my husband and I had with a young adult when we were in Romania

Publisher ............................. Richard Sadick Advertising ........................ Sean Choo Foo Production ..........Karen Mitchell-Steele ................................................... Dolores Young Reporter ....................................Mary Moffat

twenty years earlier, 10 years after the revolution. It was a hard conversation because he saw little to be hopeful about and it was clear our realities were very different, based in large part on the country in which we were born. Or was there more?

This year I had a really interesting conversation with a young man from the youth group; 16-years old, very likeable, and a deep thinker who sees limits to his future unless he is able to remove himself from his neighborhood and his city. His ethnicity puts him at a disadvantage, at least that is his perception, but he has ideas that he hopes will offer greater opportunities not just for himself, but for others in his community as well. He’s willing to put the work in and believes his country can be better as a result.

I thought about a man we’d met earlier in the month in a different city. He was 15 when the revolution took place so he has lived through many transitions. He remembers the past, experienced the growing pains of a new political and economic system, knew what he was capable of, and is optimistic about the future. He is well educated, a husband and father, and speaks with passion promoting the country he loves. I wish the two of them could have met. The older one would have been encouraged by the young man’s drive, and the younger would have been inspired to keep striving knowing what was possible.

Standing on the shore of the Black Sea or the riverbank of the South Saskatchewan stirred similar feelings. Beautiful landscapes to care for, good people with talent and vision contributing to the community, and important goals for each nation.

But it requires effort to make it happen.

Speaking in another part of the world about the country we were from was a unique privilege; and the difficulty in selecting from a long list of things to talk about was a reminder of the breadth of what Canada is from sea to sea to sea. It gave me renewed appreciation for all this nation has to offer. But even beyond that is the realization that what makes the country great is that it gives most of us a chance to offer something in return.

That’s my outlook.

Financial Focus Managing Your Money

What your business needs to know about recent CPP changes In 2019, new CPP rules came into force which business owners need to consider.

The changes allow retired Canadians to receive higher CPP benefits than they do now. Currently, the CPP retirement benefit is 25% of a worker’s average adjusted earnings. With the amendments, this will increase over time to 33%.

Two types of contribution increases will be phased in: • Starting in 2019 and ending in 2023, there is a phased-in 1% increase to the employee and employer contribution rates. By 2023, the employee contribution percentage will be 5.95% (up from 4.95%), paid on earnings between

$3,500 and an upper limit known as the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE). An employee earning $50,000 a year will contribute nearly $465 more annually beginning in 2023, while an employer will see a similar increase in contributions.

• Starting in 2024, there will be an increase in the maximum amount of earnings that are subject to CPP. The maximum will go up 7% in 2024 and another 7% in 2025, for a total increase of 14% relative to the YMPE. Employees and employers will contribute an additional 4% on whatever they earn between the YMPE and this new upper earnings limit, which is projected to be $82,700 in

2025.

Here’s how owners can prepare for the new rules: • Conduct detailed projections to estimate what your additional costs will be during the phase-in period and into the future. If you have a defined benefit plan for your employees and it’s integrated with the CPP system, will you need to change your benefit formulas?

• Despite having to pay more for CPP, companies should aim to keep their group RRSP or private sector pension plans otherwise you may lose a benefit that is helpful in attracting and retaining your workforce.

• It’s important that employees understand the

changes as they will see their take-home pay drop – unless their employer decides to make up the difference. They should also understand that because the increased CPP benefits take 40 years to completely kick in, they may, depending on their age, benefit very little from the changes.

• Because calculating CPP deductions will become more complicated once the changes are in effect, even small businesses that normally handle their own payroll may want to outsource the job to a payroll company.

As a business owner

you have key decisions to make that will have a profound effect on the continued financial success of your business and your own financial well-being.

Make the right decisions for your situation with the help of your professional advisor.

HEALTH HUB How screen time affects your sleep

You’ve probably heard that using electronic devices with screens right before bed can negatively affect your sleep. But why is this, exactly?

As it turns out, the light from an electronic screen can disrupt your circadian rhythm, tricking your body into thinking it’s daytime.

Your circadian rhythm (your body’s internal clock) consists of a roughly 24-

hour cycle of intermittent periods of drowsiness and alertness. Daylight keeps your circadian rhythm aligned with your environment, so that you start to get sleepy late at night when it’s dark.

Studies show, however, that the blue light emitted from screens interferes with the brain’s secretion of melatonin, the hormone that promotes sleep. As a

result, using technology before bed can prevent you from sleeping deeply, leaving you feeling groggy and unrested the next day.

For better rest, try to develop a routine that eliminates the use of screens an hour or so before you’re ready to sleep. Read a book, write in a journal or do some gentle stretches before bed instead of checking your phone or watching TV.

Submitted by Staff Sgt. Darren Simons • A few years ago a couple of us tried to stop a young individual we knew to be operating a vehicle without a licence. The individual drove into their farm yard and hid. We spent a little time looking but could not find the individual. This was at most an operate without a valid licence which was a $150 fine. We found out later the individual hid in the garbage can. They may think they won the battle, but realistically it was a win for us. We stopped the offence from continuing and the accused hid for about a half hour in a garbage can.

• Why do I bring this up? Well, recently we had a Member assist Estevan Detachment in Lampman. They chased a youth that was drinking in public and they were not able to locate the youth. A few checks and a brief detainment of the wrong youth and the Members carried on with their duties.

• A few days later an off duty Member was at a ball game talking to a youth they knew from the previous ball season. A younger youth was there and the two

VILLAGE OF ALIDA

WATERWORKS & SEWAGE WORKS ANNUAL FINANCIAL OVERVIEW For the Year 2018

The Drinking Water Quality and Compliance Report, and other information on the Village of Alida’s Water & Sewage Works, as required under The Municipalities Regulations, is available for viewing at the Village Office.

The total combined water & sewage works revenue for 2018 was $64,023.00 while total operating expenditures were $57,937.00. Comparison of water & sewage works revenues to expenditures plus debt payments, expressed as a ratio, is 1.1050.

This means that for 2018, water & sewage works revenues covered 100% of the total expenditures.

An assessment of the Village’s Sewage Lift Station revealed that it was in dire need of rebuilding. In addition, the building foundation that covers the station was in poor condition. In 2018, Council opted to undertake a mechanical rebuild of the lift station that is anticipated to get our community through the next ten years. The foundation was also repaired. The total cost to upgrade the sewage lift station was $110,643.00. Deferred New Deal Gas Tax funds were allocated to this project.

Reserves available for future waterworks capital infrastructure have been depleted with the upgrades to the water treatment plant system and the sewage lift station.

However, the full amount of annual utility surpluses will continue to be placed in a specified reserve for future capital work on the utility to establish a fund for replacement/repair of aging infrastructure.

In 2018, the Turbidity at the Water Treatment Plant was between .06 and .57.

Turbidity is a measure of water treatment efficiency. The limit is 1.0 NTU.

youth began to talk.

This younger youth was speaking of our gallant Members in a very derogatory manner. This related to the Mounties actions in Lampman.

This continued while the off duty Member smiled and the other youth kept dropping hints by saying. “Some Mounties are cool” “Some Police Officers are well respected” After no less than a half dozen hints the derogatory youth continued by saying the youth that was chased, hid in a garbage can and called a friend to bring different clothing. The derogatory comments regarding the Police continued and the hints also continued. The only thing the other youth did not say or do was point and say “That is a Cop” Finally, after one last hint, a big one, the derogatory youth stopped talking and looked at the off duty Member and said in a stunned manner “Are you a poh poh Police Officer?” to which the Member replied “Yes I am” Surprisingly, the derogatory youth did not want to continue their conversation and they returned to the ball diamond where they probably should have been all along.

• We responded to a Cabin break and enter.

No suspects. The owners are smart and do not leave liquor or valuables.

It is unfortunate we have to live this way, but it is less expensive.

• Members are investigating the theft of a cattle gate. There is video that may assist us in the investigation.

• As always we get false alarms. Some are caused by animals, others by family or friends that can’t remember the alarm code, sometimes it is a glitch in the system,

and other times the people themselves are the glitch and forgot to turn off the alarm, or don’t know how to use it. We have also been getting a lot of 911 calls, most are static, which means a computer glitch, however, others are individuals that are not paying attention to which buttons their fingers are hitting.

• It is always a good idea to wash your hands after you go to the washroom, however, if you do so and take off your jewelry, make sure you leave the washroom with it. The Police then get involved when the next occupant of the washroom chooses to take it and deny it. After some interviewing and pointing out the flaws in the accused story the watch was located in a ditch by our Members and returned to the owner who chose not to have the thief charged.

• An individual was charged for breaching their release conditions by not complying with their curfew. The individual was caught coming home by the Members. In the process the owner’s dog took offence and bit our Member. Apparently the dog does not like pork and released its hold on the Member. (For those that did not catch on we are often referred to as “pigs” thus we would therefore taste like pork) • If you are from a small town and you think it wise to walk out of an establishment with items you never paid for, well, don’t be surprised if you get caught.

Between the people who know who you are, or who you are in a relationship with, or hang around with we usually find our culprit. Add video and “Voila”, we have an identity. One individ-

We are just there to keep the peace, which, one would think is unnecessary but trust me, things go south quick. Now on that point, it is always wise to think before you do something. That said when you don’t think, the Police tend to get involved, then people tend to get arrested because once you stop thinking it is hard to start thinking again. Is it worth it?

We, as Police Officers, are often surprised as to what people fight over. Sometimes there is value, however, paying a lawyer thousands of dollars to get a thousand dollar item is not worth it. Sometimes you have to take the high road and walk away. Otherwise you might be escorted away by the Police.

New Manor School Playground

Manor School Playground is installed! After four years of fundraising and some generous donations, Manor SCC was able to purchase a playground last fall to be installed this year from 1 Stop Playgrounds out of Humboldt. We were very happy to find a Saskatchewan based company that could provide a 100% Canadian playground, and in our school colors as well. Volunteers came out to fence off the school grounds on June 5th and arrived to install the playground and buddy bench on June 10th. A sign will be installed on our school fence this fall to acknowledge all sponsors and donations.

The SCC will continue to raise funds to install 1 or 2 more smaller climbing pieces in the future, but are excited to provide our students with a safe new playground.

Double the Entertainment

By Mary Moffat marymoffat@sasktel.net The performance by the Manor School Drama Club at Manor School on Monday, June 17 was the culmination of over two months of practices, several times a week. The time and effort were not wasted as audiences laughed their way through two short comedies. This was the fifth year of drama at the Manor school and for a few students, their last performances. Brayden Hill, of Gordon F. Kells, joined the Manor crew when Drama was not available in Carlyle.

The first play was entitled “10 reasons You Should Have Stayed Home Sick Today by E. M. Bell

and almost everyone could empathize with many of the scenarios: the dreaded bus ride seated with the least popular student, slipping on a puddle on the floor and appearing to soil your pants, the surprise test, forgetting your lunch, gym class near fatalities, musical tryouts, being the victim of social networking, the school bathroom, field trip and the extension of school by 10 weeks? All in all, they were 10 very good reasons to call in sick.

The second play was entitled “Action News: Now with 10% More Action” by Jonathan Rand. With Kyle Bye and Desiree Riddell as the news anchors, the rest of the cast filled in the many other jobs on the news casts with laughable results.

There was a bridal shower held on in Alida Hall on June 21 in honor of Zamantha Webb, brideelect of Fraser Yates.

Zam received some unique and useful gifts and well wishes from the guests in attendance as well as from others who were unable to attend.

Their wedding is scheduled to be held on July 20. The young couple will still be making their home in Alida. Congratulations and best wishes Zam and Fraser on your next life’s adventure together.

Gray Cowan (VE5GC) spent June 22 in Weyburn where he met Todd Bendtsen (VE5MX) and the two of them spent the day operating in the annual Field day Contest. Field day is an annual operating event sponsored by American Radio Relay League held in June for Amateur (ham) Radio operators.

One purpose is to sharpen operating skills in not ideal conditions and to keep amateur radio operators in a state of readiness should they be required to provide communications in the event of a disaster. However in most cases it’s consid-

ered a contest, although it is more of an operating event. They made many contacts around North America via amateur (ham) radio, sending a report back to their contact before moving on to the next one. At the end of the operation this year they had 1420 QSOs (contacts) in their log. A lot of operations are set up portable away from power grids with stand-by generators while some are conducted from base stations. There are several different categories in the event one of which is operating in EMO centers. Best of all is the camaraderie, meeting old and new friends and the friendly competition to see who can rack up the best score during the event. Thanks to Hubby for explaining this event. However the best part of it all, for me that is, was that I had the whole day to myself and could do just as I wished, no one to bug me – oh joy.

We finally had some rain that actually would do some good – out of it all we had just over two and half inches. That should defiantly help everything, especially my garden. The potatoes have sure jumped up and are nice looking plants out there.

The tomatoes and other transplanted plants are also doing just great.

The onions, beets, etc. are beginning to peek their heads through the ground, however the carrots haven’t found their way up, but hopefully soon. Of course the weeds can sure find the way up, which the next thing will be is to keep them under control (ha), which can be a chore. But those fresh veggies etc. sure do taste yummy.

Gee whiz, we’re already on the last week in June – where does the time go? Students and teaching staff will be on holidays very soon.

Another year of schooling has been completed and the holidays will be greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Have fun everyone!

Just remember folks there was an early deadline (June 27) for the July 5th issue and the next deadline will be back on schedule on July 8 for the July 12th issue.

Also please remember folks to keep me posted on any happenings going on in and around Alida as well as within your family, either call me (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net). I do appreciate all the input as it does help keep this column interesting. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – drive safely and take care.

Teeing up to support Community Rescue Assocation Submitted It’s a ladies’ day out, time for enjoying the camaraderie of good friends and sharing laughs on a spectacular golf course while supporting a lifesaving organization. On July 19th, White Bear Lake Golf Course will once again be bombarded with fun-loving women at the annual Drive for Lives Ladies Golf Tournament. Formerly known as the Shoot for STARs Tournament, this charity tournament is once again focusing on raising funds for an essential service, with this year’s recipient being Red Coat Mutual Aid. Red Coat Mutual Aid (RCMA) works in conjunction with the Redvers and Carlyle Fire Departments, covering over 2400 kms2 throughout the 3 RMs of Antler, Brock and Moose Mountain. When every second counts, Red Coat Mutual Aid is often the first to arrive at accident scenes with lifesaving

rescue equipment such as the jaws of life, vehicle stabilizers and defibrillators. They partake in fire, water, skidoo and grain bin rescues as well as establishing safe landings for the STARs Air Ambulance.

On June 20th, Colleen Brown and Jacky Lothian, tournament organizers, were invited to an informative tour of the equipment and vehicles used in RCMA rescues.

Rob Klassen who has been with the department for 19 years and is a Deputy Chief, explained that they presently have 23 members with 15 active members who undertake ongoing, specialized training. The purchasing of reliable and effective equipment is also ongoing, with their next purchase being stabilization struts for large vehicle rescues like buses and semis. As Travis Van Meer, Deputy Chief explained “While we ensure we have enough people trained in the various rescues and own

the essential live-saving equipment, we hope not to use this equipment as often as we do” Rob added that each year the number and type of calls the firefighters respond to varies. Throughout 20112014, approximately 80% of the calls were for car accidents with most involving travelers visiting the area or passing through the region.

Some years the calls are about 50% fire and 50% vehicle/victim rescues.

In 2018, they responded to over 60 calls.

This is the tournament’s 7th year and its continued success is due to the incredible generosity of sponsors, the keen golfers, the wonderful volunteers and the excellent service provided by the personnel at the Bear Claw Casino and the White Bear Lake Golf Course.

Colleen Brown commented on what a privilege it is to organize this golf event. “This tournament emphasizes the enjoyment of spending

Card of Thanks THANK YOU: I would like to thank 911, ambulance attendants, Police, Orsteds, Victim Services, and all my family, who came so quickly the night my brother, Rae Joyce passed away. Also for the cards, food and flowers. To all who helped with the service and to all who attended.

Thanks again.

Bonnie Rowley 7-1 THANK YOU: On June 7, 2019, Marie Anne Lemieux passed away peacefully at Deer View Lodge in Wawota, SK, a few weeks before her 93rd birthday. A big Thank You to the staff for their compassionate care for “Marie” during her 4 year stay. Thank you also to all at Sunrise Villa in Maryfield, SK, where she had resided for the previous two years. “Marie” was always grateful for everyone’s dedicated service and attention.

Thank you to Father Jay Aguillar from Carlyle, who administered the Sacrament of the Sick. The funeral on June 18th was a great celebration of her life. The assembly in the church was a mixture of friends and relatives from the area, supplemented by visitors who had traveled considerable distances. Marie Anne would have been very proud that each of her married siblings had family members present.

One of the traditions of Maryfield Graduation is a visit to the Villa. This year there were five girls and four boys with their escorts. Grandma Leora Thiessen attended the Banquet and Exercises at the school, with her two grandchildren, Amber and Kegan Thiessen.

Circle of Friends this week pondered, “What advice would you give the Grads?” Ralph, “Learn to add numbers in you heads.” Margaret, “Work before you go to university.” Marie, ”Think what you will do with your education.” Others, “Hang in there.” “Buckle down.”

Joyce, “Look ahead.”

Plan ahead in detail.”

“Be very specific about your intentions.” Aileen,

Areas receive “million dollar rain”

DOWNTOWN CARLYLE

Carlyle • Wawota

By Calvin Daniels Over the past week to 10 days, at least in the Yorkton region we have received what my grandfather would have termed a million dollar rain.

For grain producers conditions coming out of spring seeding were generally on the dry side of things. While locally the situation was probably not critical, there were certainly areas that needed moisture badly.

While the rain here covered a rather significant area, I was travelling to Brandon and back June 15, and the windshield wipers were in use every mile both ways, there are of course areas still in need, such is the reality in a grain growing region the size of the Canadian Prairies.

The rains locally have come down almost perfectly for crops, rain falling slowly enough that it is able to soak in for crops to use.

But, photos recently posted to social media showed the rain which recently hit Swift Current came down in buckets, which of course causes localized flooding in urban centres where concrete and asphalt mean water has nowhere to go but to pool.

In rural areas rain can also run-off fields, causing erosion, flooding crops, and causing damage.

Again locally in the Yorkton area we are aware of the impact of heavy rain events, being hit hard in 2010 and 2014.

The damage in the city has seen the municipalities invest millions in the last few years on projects hoped to mitigate heavy rain events moving forward.

The situation here is not unique as many communities and regions have been flooded in recent years, from lake resorts along the Qu’Appelle Valley, to the extensive issues around the Quill Lakes.

The situation may become more the norm unfortunately.

A University of Saskatchewan study shows an increase in the frequency of heavy rain events in North America.

The research, in affiliation with the university’s Global Institute for Water Security, looked at weather data from around the world from 1964 to 2013.

Using a model to look at the situation over the years, the study suggests there has been 8.4 per cent more heavy rain events in North America in the last 10 years of the study compared to minus six percent in the first 10 years, according to a recent Western Producer story.

That should be a disturbing trend for producers.

On the Canadian Prairies producers rely on timely rains to produce a crop in a region that would be an arid one if not for the long months of winter. Should rains become more torrential in nature on a more regular basis, the situation will not be good for food production.

With that in mind greater research is clearly needed, and more awareness of what might be developing in terms of weather patterns.
