A unique outing: Red Market Barn

Youth from the local area fundraised for the Selects Hockey Development summer team they made this year. Here they sell baking to an individual enjoying the music and atmosphere of the Red Market Barn. Fluff and Slush offer ice cold slushies and delicious cotton candy. (left) Marlon Jugl and Sabine Weibrich will be at the barn each Sunday this summer and have a unique story. Coming to Saskatchewan in 2009, they decided to develop a homestead near Hudson Bay. They sell homegrown and organic/locally sourced products through their business, Triple H Homestead, which feature a German/ Saskatchewan fusion of foods and recipes.

(right) The Red Market Barn has been repainted this year by Harold Johnston, but other changes include an expanded yard with the fence being moved out and a new ticket booth being built for year five of the barn under Harold and Brenda’s operation.

ing funds for the Cancer Centre, Wawota Raise the Rafters have been here a couple of times, a group from Maryfield just sold tickets. So, we’re happy to help promote local groups and we can potentially have two to three here a week depending on if they need a table or if they are just selling tickets.” If interested in an opportunity to fundraise during a market day at the Red Market Barn contact Brenda at (306)5771005. This year a lot of work was put into their yard before the grand opening to ensure continued success of the seasonal market. “We’ve moved the fence out eight feet which gave us quite a bit more room and we’ve built a new ticket booth,” Brenda said. “So we’ve revamped the whole yard and it’s made for a better flow of people. Harold also painted the barn this year.” The market will be open every Sunday starting June 25 where “the best shopping in southeast Saskatchewan on Sundays” can be found. One unique vendor, which will be out every week, are Triple H Homestead. A couple from Hudson Bay, Marlon Jugl and Sabine Weibrich, who in 2009 came to Canada and settled near Hudson Bay, SK. They are currently in the process of building their homestead and business in a sustainable way.

They live with kerosene lights, wood cook stove and furnace, using as little power as possible – although they do have solar panels and generator if needed. Their goal is to live sustainably, at one with nature. “Most of what we sell was grown by us, but we’re not able to grow things like vanilla or oranges, so we have organic suppliers, as local as possible, that we source from,” Jugl stated. They sell a variety of jams, noodles, spices (no fillers and no salt), and herbal teas. One of their unique dishes are the chocolate noodles and peach rum dessert sauce. “We take advantage of nature as well, there’s a lot of wilderness in Saskatchewan and we’re able to forage, to harvest that as well,” Jugl added. Their efforts see German and Saskatchewan traditions come together. “She [Weibrich] can combine anything and make it taste good; specifically Saskatchewan tastes with German recipes to create something new,” Jugl said. Weibrich pointed to one product to explain, “This is the Rose of Saskatchewan, and it’s a jam, but it’s made with rose water and saskatoons. Or we have saskatoon streusel, which a streusel is usually made with apples, but this one is made with saskatoons and they fit together awesomely.” (Photos by Kelly Running)

By Kelly Running Harold and Brenda Johnston are back hosting their fifth season of the Red Market Barn. The beloved summer market held Sundays are enjoyed every year by locals and visitors from far and wide. “We try to mix it up every week, but still have everything people expect each week,” Brenda said. “And we have a rather nice routine with a lot of our vendors of, every other week.” “We don’t lack variety in vendors and have everything from home made products, arts, crafts, homegrown food, and more. And we have music every week as well as lots of food available.” The Red Market Barn, in the loft, will now be selling the Angel book series by Henry Ripplinger – a Saskatchewan author. Brenda also says that she welcomes community groups to fundraise at the Red Market Barn as well, all they have to do is give her a call to set up a good day for them to come out. “This week one of my main bakers wasn’t going to be able to make it, so I called Jen Wotta from Arcola, her son is playing hockey with Selects Hockey this year and I knew they were looking for a fundraiser, so I said if they wanted a table to sell baking they could have one,” Brenda explained. “We’ve had a girl here with her Cancer Sucks Project which was rais-

Leko’s Conservation Corner – Using All Terrain Vehicles Safely By Lindsey Leko The snow is gone. The snowmobiles are put away and have been replaced with ATVs travelling all over the countryside. Of�icers often encounter ATVs during our duties in the hunting season and during the summer as well. Many people also participate in riding ATVs in the summer months in a few of our provincial parks. AT Vs are used throughout Saskatchewan for transportation in rural areas, recreational use on trails, and for occupational activities on work sites, farms, and in remote areas. Unfortunately, ATVs have become the cause of many injuries and deaths in the province. These injuries are not isolated incidents and span across all geographic locations and age groups. What is really clear is that some people do not know the rules surrounding ATV use, and the damage that the unregulated use of an ATV can have on our environment. An ATV is a self-propelled vehicle that travels on unprepared surfaces. How’s that for a broad de�inition? Examples of an ATV include minibikes, dirt bikes and

all-terrain cycles, and off-road utility vehicles, including side-by-sides and utility task vehicles or UTVs. Golf carts and snowmobiles are not considered ATVs. The All Terrain Vehicles Act does not regulate the operation of ATVs on privately-owned land or land occupied by the operator or a member of the operator’s immediate family. The All Terrain Vehicles Act is another piece of legislation that is not a routine part of a conservation of�icer’s mandate, but it is legislation that we do have the authority to enforce provincially. If you are looking for some good advice and information on the use of ATVs, the Saskatchewan All-Terrain Vehicle Association (SATVA) is an excellent source of info. The association is run by a group of folks who really care about and enjoy riding. It is important that riders know the rules as well as the limitations of the ATV they are riding as well as their capabilities and experience. Putting a �irst-time youth rider on a large powerful ATV may not be the best practice. I will try and break down some of the rules

FOOD WORLD

surrounding responsible ATV use, but if you have any questions, contact the SATVA as they have a wealth of information available to all riders. Remember that this is just a summary, as I do not have the space to cover everything. Q: Who can drive an ATV? A person must be at least 16 years of age and hold a valid driver’s licence. Exceptions are made for operators driving an ATV on private land owned by the operator or by a member of their immediate family. Youth between the ages of 12 and 15 can operate an ATV in public areas and may cross roads – but cannot drive on roads – if they have passed an approved ATV training course, or if they are supervised by someone who has held a driver’s licence continuously for the preceding 365 days. If you are disquali�ied from driving a car or truck, that disquali�ication applies and carries over to operation of an ATV or side-by-side. Q: What equipment do I need? The operator of an ATV, or any passenger in or on an ATV, must wear a helmet and eye protec-

tion, unless operating on private land owned by the operator or his or her immediate family. Rules of the Road • Use care and attention at all times while operating an ATV and have consideration for other persons in the area. • Do not travel at a speed greater than 80km/hr. • Travel a minimum of two metres from the travelled portion of the highway except to cross. • Don’t operate an ATV on a highway, whether on the traveled or untraveled portion (shoulder), or on public land without having liability insurance. • Don’t drive an ATV at night without lights. • Don’t carry a passenger unless the ATV is designed for that purpose. • Ensure that you are wearing seat belts while operating an ATV if they are installed by the manufacturer. • Yield right of way to all pedestrians. • Don’t chase wildlife with your ATV. • All �irearms carried on an ATV must be unloaded. Q: Where can I ride? PRIVATE LAND It is lawful to ride an ATV

on private land with the permission of the owner or occupant. CROWN LAND You can also drive an ATV on Crown land, including highway right of ways unless there are signs advising otherwise. One key requirement when driving an ATV on public land is to ensure that it is insured. PROVINCIAL PARKS There are riding opportunities in two Saskatchewan provincial parks that have areas set aside and designated as ATV trails. These two parks are Moose Mountain and Narrow Hills Provincial Parks. ATV usage on park land is only allowed on designated trails, as ATV use can cause serious environmental damage such as soil erosion, compaction and damage to vegetation. ATVs, because of their speed and noise, can also frighten wildlife. TOWNS AND CITIES Normally, ATV use in these locations is legislated through bylaws. Most centres have bylaws applying some type of restriction, so it is best to check locally.

WILDLIFE LANDS Operation of an ATV on wildlife lands, which are clearly marked throughout Saskatchewan, is unlawful except during hunting season when it is lawful to use an ATV to retrieve legally taken big game by the most direct route. Q: Where can I get ATV training for myself and family? There are many locations in Saskatchewan that offer this type of training. I found some in a Google search easily, but the Saskatchewan All-Terrain Vehicle Association would be a good reference. Until next week… keep your rod tip up! Editor’s note: Ministry of Environment conservation of�icer Lindsey Leko has spent more than 25 years as a conservation of�icer in Saskatchewan. For many years, Of�icer Leko contributed a column to local papers on a variety of issues related to hunting, �ishing, and other resource-related issues.

Rule of the Week Rule 24-2 - Taking “complete relief” from Obstruction QUESTION: What is meant by the phrase, “taking complete relief” from an obstruction? ANSWER: When a player is taking relief from an immovable obstruction, he must determine the point where there is no interference from the lie of ball, stance, and area of intended swing. For example, if the ball lies on a cart path, the ball must be dropped at a point where the cart path does not interfere with the lie of the ball, his stance, and also the area of intended swing. If the ball comes to rest in such a position, it must be re-dropped (Rule 20-2c(v)).

From the picture above: A number of amateur players believe it is the fairway side of the obstruction (cart path). This is incorrect. The nearest point of relief is not the nicest point of relief and could be in tall grass, in the bush, on a severe slope or a tree such as the point at P3 above. Remember, a player has the right to play the ball as it lies, even if it requires her/him to putt the ball or chip it backwards to a more favourable position. Next week we will discuss the myth about handicapping and hardest hole along with another rule. Happy gol�ing and remember the Rules of Golf Matter

Return of Moose Mountain Interpreters Moose Mountain Interpreters are back and ready for another busy season of school groups and an exciting summer. This year we have three returning interpreters Emilie Verity, Emilie Craig and Brooke Erickson, as

well as two great new additions to our team, Abigail Chicoine and Emily Ellis. Our interpreters are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the �irst school programs beginning in June. We will once again

be offering a variety of interactive school programs based out of both Cannington Manor and Moose Mountain Provincial Park. In Snails Pails and Cattails children will learn about aquatic bugs

in Kenosee Lake. In our �ire making program they will learn how to make a �ire without the use of a match or a lighter. Children can participate in our First Nations program and learn about First Nations way of liv-

ing and the tools which were used in traditional everyday life. Children can also learn about the �ive senses and how different animals in our park use these senses with the Natural Neighbours program. We will also be

providing orienteering (learning to use a compass), geocaching, hiking and canoeing programs. We cannot wait to get rolling with school groups in the coming days, and look forward to another fun-�illed summer.

Endangered Piping Plovers return to Saskatchewan beaches

Piping Plover nest Regina, SK – June 5, 2017 – Piping Plovers are Endangered migratory shorebirds that breed in Saskatchewan. They have been listed as Endangered since 1985 due to large declines in their populations across their range. The plovers arrive in Saskatchewan around the beginning of May, set up territories and nest sites, and females lay 4 wellcamou�laged eggs directly on the beach around the end of May. Saskatchewan makes up a large portion

of their breeding range and several nesting pairs have already been spotted this year. Nature Saskatchewan coordinates a survey every �ive years that counts all adult Piping Plovers breeding in the province, with the most recent survey having taken place in 2016. Last year’s results were low with only about 800 Piping Plovers counted. Those results were very similar to the previous census in 2011, approximately half the

Adult Piping Plover and chick number of plovers counted in the census prior to that. “We were hoping the numbers would be higher,” says Ashley Vass, coordinator for Nature Saskatchewan’s Plovers on Shore program, “recovering from the signi�icant amount of �looding in 2011 that made a lot of nest sites unavailable.” Since those numbers had come in, Hurricane Matthew hit an important wintering site for the plovers in the Bahamas “so we’ll have to wait and

see if there’s a measurable impact from that, but we really won’t get the full picture until the next complete census in 2021,” says Vass. Aside from weather, many factors affect Piping Plover populations, one of which is human activity. Plovers and their nests are very dif�icult to spot and are easily trampled by livestock, vehicles, and even beachgoers. “We are asking the public to help keep an eye out for Piping Plovers when on beaches

Adult Piping Plover this summer, minimize disturbance in areas where plovers are known to be nesting, and report sightings.” Piping Plovers have a sandy body with a white belly, a black band on their forehead, a single black band around their neck,

orange legs, and an orange beak with a black tip. Killdeer are similar looking birds but are slightly larger, darker, and have two neckbands instead of one. If you think you see a Piping Plover or a nest, please call our toll free Hoot Line at: 1-800-667HOOT (4668).

Not everybody is predisposed to handling stress well. Sometimes, you need to accept things for what they are instead of swimming against the current. However, don’t get discouraged: you will soon regain your creativity.

You will need more time than expected to finance a project that you hold close to your heart. A conversation between you and your loved one may be necessary to talk about your future together.

LEO

You will be an outstanding negotiator and the deals you will broker will leave you very satisfied. Storeowners will fear you like the plague but you will not concede.

A specific event will force you to organize an urgent meeting at work or among friends and family. Many people will count on you to steer them in the right direction.

VIRGO

Be prepared to do a lot of overtime at work. Despite the pressure weighing heavy on your shoulders, you will earn enough extra income to take the trip of a lifetime.

If you’re leaving on vacation, you’ll want to take the time to organize every last detail, especially if you’re travelling abroad or hitting the road. Don’t let the finer details slip your mind.

LIBRA

You will make a number of big decisions concerning your professional career. But that’s not all: you will also adopt a healthier lifestyle that will benefit your long-term health.

If you’re thinking about renewing your mortgage or taking out a loan, you’re in an excellent position to renegotiate the terms and enjoy more financial flexibility.

SCORPIO

A family member will make you very proud. One of your children might take their first steps or achieve something great in school. However, an impending move will continue to cause much stress for your family.

3 Canadian treasures

WEEKS TO GO

Quiz

CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

A large influencer from Canada’s smallest province

TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE

JOSEPH ATALLAH “JOE” GHIZ (1945-1996)

“I am a Canadian and I’m proud of it. I am an Islander and proud of it. I am a Canadian and Islander of Lebanese extraction and I am proud of that as well.” —Joe Ghiz

QUESTION 1: This new wave band from Montreal achieved international fame in 1983 thanks to the huge success of one of the singles on Rhythm of Youth, their debut album.

On May 2, 1986, Joseph A. Ghiz became Prince Edward Island’s 27th premier and Canada’s first premier of non-European descent. He would go on to become an important figure both provincially and federally, and is most remembered as a staunch defender of Canadian nationalism. Born in Charlottetown and raised by Lebanese immigrants, Joe grew up in an apartment over his parents’ corner grocery store. As a young man he studied Commerce and Law at Dalhousie, and afterwards attended Harvard where he was ultimately awarded a Master of Laws. Upon passing the bar, Ghiz returned to P.E.I. and took a position as crown prosecutor before becoming a senior partner at the firm Scales, Ghiz, Jenkins and McQuaid. Around the same time, he began his involvement with the Liberal party. On a provincial level, Ghiz led many important initiatives. He promoted advancement of the Island’s main industries— agriculture, fishing and tourism—and his tenure oversaw the construction of three large potato-processing plants, the inauguration of several golf courses and the expansion of a © Government of Prince Edward Island number of tourist accommodations. He also implemented a variety of social programs, most notably a drug assistance program for seniors. However, it was his leadership during a provincial plebiscite—the first in the province since 1948—that led to his most enduring legacy. In 1988, nearly 60 per cent of Islanders voted in favour of building a fixed link to the mainland. Confederation Bridge was built several years later, connecting P.E.I. to New Brunswick and thereby, the rest of Canada. In addition to his contributions to the Island, Joe Ghiz was also a powerful and articulate figure during the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords. He was a consistent advocate of concessions to Quebec and an ally of the province’s premier, Robert Bourassa. He was also well known at the time for his opposition to the free trade agreement with the United States. Within days of the referendum defeat following the Charlottetown Accord, Joe Ghiz announced his retirement from politics. He briefly returned to private practice before taking a position as dean of the Faculty of Law at Dalhousie. A year later, he left the deanship to become a justice of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island. He held this role until his untimely death in 1996 following a battle with colon cancer. He was 50 years old. Then-prime minister Jean Chrétien and many notable Canadian premiers attended his funeral. Joe Ghiz is memorialized with a park, a government building and a university award that bear his name. His political legacy was carried on by his son Robert, who served as Prince Edward Island’s 31st premier from 2007 to 2015.

QUESTION 2: Canadians don’t need a passport to visit this tiny slice of Europe off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.

QUESTION 3: Nearly five decades ago, scientists at the Fredericton Research and Development Centre created the Shepody, revolutionizing a segment of Canada’s food production industry. What was the Shepody: a new type of processed dairy; a hybrid potato for freezing; a disease-resistant tomato plant; or a high-yield apple tree?

QUESTION 4: Which two athletes share the Canadian record time for the 100-metre sprint, having both completed the race in 9.84 seconds? ART, LITERATURE AND ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SPORTS AND LEISURE

ANSWERS 1: Men Without Hats (the song was The Safety Dance) 2: Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon (France) 3: A hybrid potato for freezing 4: Donovan Bailey (1996) and Bruny Surin (1999)

THE STORIES BEHIND OUR SYMBOLS

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

CANADA’S ENGLISH COMMUNITY

MANITOBA

In the 16th century, the English were one of the first European groups to navigate Canadian shores, with the very first organized settlement springing up at Cupers Cove (now Cupids), Newfoundland, in 1610. Substantial immigration to Canada began in the 18th century, with the English coming both directly from Europe and by way of the United States. Those who came from England were motivated by high unemployment rates back home and the offer of free land in Canada. Those who came from the U.S. were predominantly Loyalists looking to rejoin British civilization in the colonies after America achieved independence. Newcomers settled first in the Atlantic Provinces, and once Britain acquired New France in 1763, Upper Canada (Ontario) also became a hotspot. Immigration continued well after Confederation. One large wave occurred when the Prairies were opened up. Another massive influx consisted solely of impoverished orphaned children (known as the British Home Children) who were given free passage to Canada and then made the wards of various communities. The final large wave occurred after the Second World War. The English were highly influential in establishing many of the legal and governmental institutions that characterize modern-day Canada. Our tradition of representative government is largely based on Britain’s parliamentary system, and our court structure also closely follows the English model. English common law is the basis of Canadian civil law in every province except Quebec. Today, English Canadians make up the largest ethnic group in Canada, with more than 20 per cent of the population claiming full or partial English ancestry.

BIRD: GREAT GREY OWL The grey owl, largest of all the world’s owl species, was chosen to be Manitoba’s avian emblem in 1987. This predator inhabits boreal forests and subsists almost entirely on mice and voles. Its keen hearing can detect rodents up to a foot beneath the snow. It prefers to burrow rather than build nests.
