The building that currently houses the Shellbrook RCMP Detachment has grown outdated, leading to questions about the future of the RCMP in the area.

Future uncertain for Shellbrook RCMP Detachment The RCMP Detachment in Shellbrook may be on its way out of town. According to Superintendent Bob Mills out of the RCMP Headquarters in Regina, the conversation began with an assessment of the building that currently houses the detachment. Mills claims that the building has aged, is too small, and is an old design, which all adds up to the fact that it will have to be replaced. “So the question then becomes . . . where do we build it?” Mills said.

“There were really only two options in that detachment area around Shellbrook, and one was the Town of Shellbrook, and one was to build out at the Ahtahkakoop First Nation,” Mills said.

A large number of factors have been analyzed regarding the issue of location, and Mills says that perhaps the most prominent one is the analysis of where the RCMP are actually carrying out most of their work. “Basically, based on where our work is, it belongs out at Ahtahkakoop, because 80% of our work is out there,” he said. “That’s not to say that’s the only determining factor, but that’s sort of one that we sit up and pay attention to.”

A number of other factors indicate that having the detachment stay in Shellbrook may be a more inviting option.

“They don’t have a housing market (in Ahtahkakoop) that we can just buy into, so we’d have to look at probably providing housing out there so the members have somewhere to live. Having it in Shellbrook you don’t have to provide housing because members can just buy into the local market.

The town of Shellbrook has all the schools and amenities and stuff so it’s a lot easier to get people to move to a place like Shellbrook,” Mills said.

Besides all of that, there is a large amount of bureaucratic red tape that must be worked through in order to make the idea of a detachment in Ahtahkakoop a reality.

“We’re doing some work right now with the First Nation to see if it’s possible to build out there. It’s somewhat more complicated because it’s First Nation land and the ownership is invested with the Crown, so we have to go through a process with Indian Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) and the Band Council to acquire a spot to put a detachment, so they’re exploring that option right now. If we can get past all of those challenges, then that’s probably what we’ll do. If we can’t, then we’re probably back to Shellbrook as an option,” Mills said.

One other issue pertaining to the move is the accessibility

of police services for those who live outside of Ahathkakoop.

Mills says there is a plan in place to address this issue. “One of them that’s looking promising right now is that we would . . . probably rent a space in Shellbrook to use as what we call a ‘storefront’, so it’s usually a small office that’s manned during certain hours of the day so that people can come in and do whatever it is they need to do, report an accident or make a complaint, that sort of thing,” he said.

After all of the issues were taken into account, the location of the work seemed to be the deciding factor. “Right now we’re leaning towards having the detachment where the work is,” Mills said.

Though nothing has been set in stone, steps have already been taken to move the detachment to Ahtahkakoop. “Right now we’ve written a letter to the chief and council at Ahtahkakoop and asked them if they’re interested in this. Now they haven’t responded in writing, but they have told us that they are in favour of it. So right now we’re working with INAC on the identification of a suitable piece of land and all the bureaucracy that goes with that. I think we’ll probably be in a position within a year or so of actually building,” Mills said.

$15 million to support development of pulse industry

Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Gerry Ritz announced that the Government of Canada will invest up to $15 million in funding, in partnership with the multi-million dollar grower check-off investment, to support the continued development of the Canadian pulse industry.

Pulses such as peas, beans, chickpeas and lentils play a significant role in Canada’s agriculture portfolio. Canada is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of pulses, with nearly $2 billion in exports reaching more than 150 countries each year.

“Research is key to ensuring Canada maintains its position as a global leader,” says Nick Sekulic, Chair of Pulse Canada and Commissioner of the Alberta Pulse Growers Commission. “Consistently working to refine our product quality and improve production processes keeps us a step ahead of our competitors.”

“On behalf of Canadian pulse farmers, processors and exporters, I want to thank the federal government for their continued support and investment in our industry,” said Lee Moats, Vice Chair of Pulse Canada and a Director on Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ Board. “This funding will augment existing research investments to advance the sustainable production and profitability of the Canadian pulse industry.”

“Today’s funding announcement is an investment in the future of the pulse industry,” says Randy Froese, Treasurer of Pulse Canada and Director of the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association. “It will help propel us forward by creating new opportunities for pulses in the global food industry.”

Pulse Canada is the national association representing growers, traders and processors of Canadian pulse crops (peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas). Canada is the world’s largest supplier of pulses, with exports reaching more than 150 countries.

A change in buyers The grains market, in the last few days of July were at the lowest levels it had seen in more than a year as large expected production continues to outweigh any demand headlines. On the relative good growing conditions, famed commodity investor Dennis Gartman recently suggested that the 2013-14 U.S. corn crop continues to creep towards 15 Billion bushels of production, despite the USDA most recently saying it’ll be closer to 13.95 Billion bushels.

There’s much consensus that corn and soybean buyers (i.e. ethanol plants or soybean crushers) have secured enough supply through the end of August. This is because with the larger crop expected, buyers are anticipating lower prices at which they can secure inventory at. As such, basis levels dropped significantly across the industry (as in $2.40-over-futures bids one day, zero bids the next!).

While domestic buyers may not be interested currently, the lower prices certainly have the likes of China getting in the mix. Between the new government in Egypt re-igniting their wheat procurement program and China’s worse-thanexpected wheat crops, some traders in the Eastern Hemisphere have suggested wheat prices could rise by ten per cent over the next six – twelve months. As a result, there’s some buzz that Aussie farmers are holding onto their grain until those prices materialize. One factor to keep in mind regarding China though, is that many analysts have pegged the Asian supernation for a slowdown from its decade-long double-digit annual growth, including Societe Generale who is forecasting six percent and Barclays at the bottom with three percent!

Over in Europe, Paris and London grain futures markets have been following North American prices lower. Case in point, August rapeseed prices in Paris fell to the lowest level for a front month contract are at the lowest for a front month since August 2010 while November wheat is much the same, hovering below $250 per tonne. With prices lower and the crop still not off yet, British farmers are not forwarding selling any of their wheat as last year many got burned selling more than what actually came off the field (thanks to the drought). I’d say that’s a pretty good strategy at this point of the game if you can’t get an Act of God clause.

Staying in wheat, the most recent US Wheat Quality Council’s Spring Wheat tour in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota showed that yields will basically equal last year at about 45 bushels/acre. However, this will come off significantly less acres than last year as many parts of the three states were very wet in April/May and many acres didn’t get planted. This is significant for Prairie producers because, with lower market prices and a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Loonie, U.S. buyers are more likely to be competitive with local elevator prices and if you get paid, should you really care who buys your grain? (Just a heads up – we have over 20 U.S.-based buyers on the FarmLead Marketplace).

Long-term care home receives donation Residents of the Parkland Integrated Health Centre’s long-term care home were happy to receive a donation of three television sets from the Parkland Terrace Foundation.

The foundation was started many years ago in order to look after funds that had been donated to the Parkland Terrace long-term care home. Now that everyone has been relocated into the new health centre, the foundation has purchased these television sets to be enjoyed in the new home, as the foundation has always tried to focus on directing their funds towards items that benefit the residents.

“I know since I’ve been here they’ve helped our residents a lot in all the little extras that we don’t have funds for,” commented recreation coordinator Trina Chamberlain. In the photograph, standing in front of one of the new televisions, are Elias Shantz, member of the Parkland Terrace Foundation, and Wilbur McNeilly, resident of the long-term care home.

Family Fun Circus sets up big top in Shellbrook

The Family Fun Circus made a stop in Shellbrook on July 29 to the delight of local children and adults alike. Pony rides and snacks were available outside of the big top before the show. Once the ringmaster signalled for the entertainment to began, the crowd was treated to performances by jugglers, trained dogs, clowns, aerial ribbon dancers, and more.

According to their website, the Family Fun Circus chooses to travel to smaller communities throughout Canada and the United States, places that would not usually get to see live entertainment. The show is family owned and operated, with a husband and wife team, and their children, putting on the show together.

been waiting for this day for two years, and with a full complement of physicians in the community we can now fully utilize the facility.”

Five family physicians in Shellbrook, with support from two physicians based in Spiritwood, will provide 24-hour on-call coverage for the Emergency Department. The 20-bed inpatient unit will also be fully operational. A limited number of inpatient beds have been utilized since July 15, as staff and physicians worked towards full implementation of the acute care program.

The Parkland Integrated Health Centre is a new facility that opened in June 2013. It replaced the Shellbrook Hospital and Parkland Terrace long-term care home. In addition to longterm care and hospital services, it also provides space for com-

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) congratulates Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Gerry Ritz and Canada Beef Inc. on today’s announcement of an import levy on cattle of $1 per head.

The move enables the levy to be applied equally to purchasers of domestic and imported cattle as well as imported beef, putting Canada on equal ground with the U.S. for the first time since 1985.

The import levy is worth an estimated $600,000 to $800,000 annually, depending on market conditions, and funds will support Canada Beef Inc. marketing initiatives and research projects under the direction of the Beef Cattle Research Council.

“This is great news for the beef industry,” said CCA President Martin Unrau. “Marketing and research support and drive competitiveness in Canada’s beef cattle industry.”

The CCA has worked toward this outcome on behalf of industry since 1999, when it began the groundwork to implement a national check-off and an import levy to level the playing field with the U.S., which placed an import levy on Canadian cattle in1985.

One of the challenges the CCA faced during this process was determining how to collect the import levy.

In 1999, the CCA facilitated the creation of the Canadian Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Agency, often referred to as the National Check-off (NCO) Agency, to handle this task.

Over the years, the NCO worked with the Farm Products Council of Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency to determine the best possible option for collecting the import levy.

Significant advancement was made in securing the cooperation of Canada Border Services Agency to enable the collection of the import levy prior to the formation of Canada Beef Inc. and their assuming responsibility of the NCO. Now acting as the Canadian Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Agency, Canada Beef Inc. is entrusted to collect an import levy on all beef cattle, beef and beef products coming into Canada in addition to the domestic levy on cattle sales.

munity-based programs such as Home Care, Public Health, Therapies, and Mental Health and Addiction Services.

The Emergency Department at the new facility and previously at the Shellbrook Hospital, had only been open weekends since July 2011 after several physicians left the community. The Region worked with the Parkland Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee and the Physician Recruitment Agency of Saskatchewan to recruit four physicians, who joined one remaining physician, over the past nine months.

Two physician clinics continue to operate regular hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays, excluding statutory holiday. Area residents can call one of the two medical clinics for appointments: • Shellbrook Medical Clinic at 306.747.2171, or • Shellbrook Primary Care Clinic at 306.747.2552.

Horse collars and headshots

Back in the day, deadly confrontations between gladiators in crowded arenas were considered sporting. Today, it may seem barbaric, but fans used to flock to the stands in order to witness the brutality. It is difficult to compare today’s sports to these spectacles, but it is probably safe to say that our palate has been tamed over time, an evolution that seems to continue, and perhaps escalate, each year.

Often, the pacifying of a game can only by accomplished by changes to the rules, as players will continue to attempt tactics that go unpunished. Sometimes these rule changes are based on precedent, with a high profile athlete being injured, followed by an analysis of the play during which he or she was hurt, and ending with a rule change implemented to make sure that it never happens again.

The best example I can think of was the sudden inception of the “horse collar rule” in football. Up until 2004, no one had ever heard of a “horse collar tackle”. During the 2004 NFL season, however, a Cowboys player named Roy Williams pulled down wide receiver Terrell Owens by the back colJON lar of his shoulder pads, breaking Owens’ SVEC leg. Williams hurt a couple more players that year with the same kind of tackle, and ~ apparently something needed to be done.

Reporter The NFL installed the new rule for the 2005 season, and began marching off 15 yards for each infraction.

These changes are almost always met with resistance, and it is easy to see why. Up until the rule change, what is now called a horse collar tackle drew no more than a stifled yawn from the crowd. Nowadays, stadiums erupt at the injustice, calling for the incarceration, or perhaps the blood, of the perpetrator. What was once a routine play turned into a heinous act based on a decision made by men wearing ties and sitting around a table—to the detriment of the sport.

While precedent may dictate a portion of these changes, advances in science deLeagues termine the rest. With what we now know about concussions, it is very difficult to have argue against altering our sports to prodrastically tect the heads of amateur and professional athletes alike. A slight limp, an elbow that cracks with every bend, these lingering beefed-up aches are collateral damage for the retired their rules athlete—we take pride in them, and they lead to good stories. Brain stuff is a whole regarding different ballgame, leading not to funny headshots in stories but to sad ones, and it is difficult to know where the line should be drawn. recent years Football and hockey leagues have drastically beefed-up their rules regarding headshots in recent years. A new one was just passed for the upcoming NCAA football season, and involves the act of “targeting”—another term I had never heard of, but expect to become very familiar with in the upcoming months. According to a July 29 article in USA Today by George Schroeder, targeting means, “taking aim, especially at an opponent’s head or neck, with apparent intent that goes beyond a legal tackle or legal block.” Fair enough, this doesn’t sound like anything new, until one learns that the new penalty for such a play involves not only a 15-yard penalty, but also the ejection of the guilty player from the game.

Whether we choose to believe it or not, there will come a day when fighting will be banned from hockey. Either precedent or science will catch up to it, and officials will no longer be able to severely penalize each graze of the head, yet let numerous headshots be landed once a fight breaks out. Of course, fighting is an integral, engrained, vital aspect of the game, but so were punishing, helmet-to-helmet tackles, so was the wedge kickoff return—old-time hockey players didn’t wear helmets, gladiators used to fight lions with swords.

Fans are free to debate and contend these rules as much as they want, but for players and coaches, complaining does little to fi x the situation. For them, rule changes must be embraced, and if need be, techniques and strategies must adapt to the changing landscape of their sport. A difference of opinion means little when that flag is coming out, or that arm is being raised, and no matter how much these games change, everyone still wants to win.

always been easy to present the case for regional interests.

Harper has moved arbitrarily on federal transfers and a health accord without much consultation with the premiers or consideration of regional interests. And he is hardly the first prime minister to place the federal government’s interest ahead of the interests of the regions. (See: ending community pastures; the Indian Head tree farm.)

So the question perhaps isn’t so much whether today’s Senate does its job. We all know it really doesn’t. The real question is: How will doing away with the Senate actually improve representation of regional interests?

After all, premiers don’t review federal laws.

If Harper or any future Liberal or NDP prime minister chooses not to listen to the premiers in advance, might it be still be in our interests to have a reformed, elected Senate representing the regional interests of places like rural Saskatchewan?

Maybe Wall and most everyone else is instinctively right.

Maybe the Senate can’t be reformed, meaning that we might as well get rid of it because it’s virtually useless.

But maybe we need our own moment of sober second thought before we completely do away with any chance of ever again having a true upper house of sober second thought.

YOUR TWO C ENTS ~

If Canadians vote to abolish the Senate, politicians must listen This commentary was first published in the Monday, July 29th edition of the Toronto Star.

We’ve nearly been trampled in recent days by a veritable herd of Canadian academics, falling over one another to remind us that the Canadian Senate cannot be abolished.

After all, they tell us, the Senate’s existence is guaranteed by the Constitution, only Parliament and the provincial legislatures can amend the Constitution and Parliament includes 102 senators who would never vote themselves out of a job. To make matters worse, five of the ten provinces are so vastly over-represented in the Senate, they would never, in a million years, agree to get rid of it.

This learned analysis, while technically correct, fails to adequately weigh one singular truth: Canada is a democracy.

If Canadians vote in a national referendum to abolish the Senate, the academics will be proven wrong.

We now live in the 21st century, as opposed to the U.S. civil-war era, when the Senate was created.

It was the U.S. civil war, to that point, that heavily influenced the Fathers of Confederation, most notably Sir. John A. Macdonald. “(Macdonald) shared a widely held belief that the Civil War was, in some sense, the inevitable bloody outcome of mob rule and presidential despotism,” wrote his biographer Donald Creighton.

“Macdonald’s resistance to democracy was comprehensive,” echoes Richard Gwyn in his more recent study of Canada’s constitutional architect. “He advocated ‘some division of the classes,’ justifying limiting the vote to property owners

by the argument that political decisions should be influenced by the views of those with some education and some stake in the system itself rather than by ‘the unreasoning masses.’”

Macdonald made it clear on more than one occasion that his distaste for American-style democracy knew no bounds.

He insisted that a prospective senator must own real estate to qualify for membership – a qualification that exists, inexplicably, to this day.

And Macdonald insisted on substantial real estate holdings – $4,000 – the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of today’s dollars: “a large qualification should be necessary for membership in the Upper House, in order to represent the principle of property,” he said in 1865. “The rights of the minority must be protected, and the rich are always fewer in number than the poor.”

Historian John Boyko’s new book, Blood and Daring, gives a flavour of Canada in the 1860’s, when the Senate was created. Boyko reminds us that while 33 Canadian newspapers supported Lincoln and the Union in the conflict, 84 sided with the slave-owning Confederacy. After one Confederate victory in 1862, townsfolk in New Brunswick celebrated by holding parades.

Time has marched on. Slavery is dead, its death purchased with the lives of half a million Americans. Canadian attitudes toward slavery have changed as well.

Yet, we still sit passively and watch, while a law passed by a majority in the House of Commons, is denied passage by the Canadian Senate, an unelected assembly of landowners. The Senate vote, constitutionally permissible in the eyes of the

Senate’s civil-war era creators, has been correctly characterized as “an abomination.”

It’s instructive that the architect of the recent abomination, Conservative Senator Hugh Segal, supports a national referendum on abolishing the Senate. So did Jack Layton, who called the Senate “outdated and obsolete, a 19th-century institution that has no place in a modern democracy in the 21st century.”

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, no old drinking buddy of Jack Layton, would just as soon skip the referendum and proceed directly to Senate abolition, reflecting the views of 86 per cent of his party members. Tom Mulcair, inheritor of the Layton legacy, is actively campaigning for Senate abolition. Even Ted Morton, once an Alberta elected Senator-inwaiting, is getting ready to throw in the towel on the Senate (as a possible first step towards reform) – after nearly 30 years dedicated to the cause of reforming the wretched bordello of back-scratching.

The Senate is a disgrace to Canada. The Senate doesn’t make our nation better, it makes it worse. And unelected assembly of landowners has no legitimate right to rule over the rest of us, no matter what the Constitution says. The Senate is a constitutional institution, to be sure. But then, so was slavery in the U.S. and the slave trade, in Britain, in the 19th century. If Canadians, in a national referendum, direct our politicians to get rid of the Senate, then politicians would be well advised to listen to the voters.

n c u h r e c d d n a s n o i Co lis metal

The term “fender bender” did little justice to the metal carnage that was on display at the Parkside Derby on July 27. Souped-up engines roared under dented hoods, and the acrid smell of burnt car guts hung so thickly in the air that fans could guess at its taste. Many sat shoulder to shoulder in the sun-soaked stands to take in all the action, wincing at the sprayed dirt that was kicked in their direction by sharply turning wheels.

The competition began with the barrel races, where cars did their part to loosen up the playing surface for what was next to come. Derek Olson took first place in the preliminary event, and Dionne Muller came in second.

After a break it was time for the main event to begin with the first heat of the derby. The pulsing rev of the engines vibrated through the grounds, powerful at first and firmly felt--it eventually grew familiar and was reduced to an almost-pleasant hum. The metal-crunching collisions, however, did not lose their strength throughout, no matter how many were witnessed, the final jarring blow as impactful as the first.

After the original three heats, the drivers and their crews were offered some time to work at repairing their cars before the next round. Behind the curtain of a tree-line that separated the ring from the pit, frantic work was being done in an attempt to restore functionality to the beat up vehicles.

Sparks flew as pieces were welded and sealed, sledge hammers swung forcefully to shape the masses into things that once again resembled cars.

Once the drivers were ready, a consolation round was held in order to find out who would be battling for the trophy.

Wor cars fought bravely to overcome the Worn in injuries sustained in the first heats, and the crowd was treated to another slew of demolition full of bone-rattling smashups.

After some of the dust settled, there were nine cars remaining for the final showdown. The drivers in the last heat included Ryan Peake, Jaimie Dumais, and Dionne Muller, who were the winners of the first three heats. They were accompanied by Chance Rothwell, Raymond Stieb, Blake Waterhouse, Derek Olson, Derek Willoughby, and Devon Waterhouse, who each earned their place in the final through the consolation rounds.

A final, energetic melee took place, and when it was all over there was only one car left running, piloted by Dionne Muller of Shellbrook.

A high-spirited Dionne seemed no worse for wear after the event was over. “My car’s looking a little worse than I am,” he said. “It feels good to win again.”

Dionne’s multiple victories at the derby can perhaps be equally attributed to his hard work and his strategic outlook on the event. When asked how many hours went into his preparation, Dionne commented, “I couldn’t ion, it’s even answer that question, too much.” And when asked to weigh in on the balance between game-plan and brute force, Dionne said that the derby involves, “Lots of strategy. Aggression is not usually the best thing, because then you don’tt have much car left.”

Derby champion Dionne Muller sits atop his winning car, which has seen better days.

at Parkside D erby

A f ter it was all said and done, the 2013 version of the annual derby proved to be “Another success. The weather was decent, everything turned out pretty good . . . It was really well attended,” commented Jeff Ledding, one of the event organizers. The attendance numbers weren’t calculated, but Ledding feels there were probably more people through the gate this year that last, though participation in the derby was down. “This year we only had 17 cars, and last year I think we had 25,” Ledding said.

Each year, the preparation for the event is done by the Derby Committee, which is part of the Parkside Community Club, and the proceeds are given to worthwhile causes in the community. “We donate the majority of it, and some of it goes towards fixing up the grounds or improvements that we need to do in Parkside, or to help out families in need,” Ledding said.

Depopulation of rural Canada Recently I had a couple of experiences which really focused my thinking on the depopulation of rural Canada.

The first was a short fishing trip out to the old Togo Bridge.

The fishing was slow so we toured toward the new Togo Bridge which took us through what remains of Togo.

There are a few homes, a hotel, a rink still stands, and that’s about it, except for a series of boarded up storefronts which told the story that at one point in the not so distant past Togo was a bustling rural community.

While it is now something of a skeleton of what it once was, I was left to wonder if there was any hope for its future.

On the way to the second fishing hole we passed a new housing development on the hill overlooking the Assiniboine River.

It’s not lakefront by a few hundred yards, but it is secluded and more connected to nature than any street in a city.

But I wonder if such developments, which pop up all over the place these days — there is a sign for acreages just west of Highway #9 north of Yorkton, and another one west toward Willowbrook — are particularly more rustic, or away from it all than would living in Togo?

The next trip was out to cover the 100th anniversary of the Village of Rhein.

Again it is a community with a thriving past.

A walk through the photo displays at the local senior centre showed that.

So did talking to those gathered.

They spoke of a community which at one time numbered 500. There were grain elevators, machinery dealerships, grocery and hardware stores and a school.

All are gone now.

With each closure, elevator, store, school, a community dies a little more.

It is a death which has been reCALVIN peated over and over across Canada, and actually across dryland farming DANIELS areas around the world. ~ Anyone with a farming tie can speak to the disappearance of rural communities.

When I was pre-school age mail came to us at Clashmoor. There was a store, elevator, post office stop, homes.

Today the rail line is even gone. Not a single building, even a dilapidated pile of boards, exists. The village site is now farmland with nothing to mark it was once home to a community.

Our next address was Eldersley, a community that had two grain elevators, a fire hall, two grocery stores, a com-

munity hall, curling rink and a school.

I never attended the school though. It was announced to close the year I started and my parents opted to send me directly to Tisdale rather than having to change schools after only one year.

The school gone, the grocery stores followed, the curling rink closed from lack of interest, the grain elevators gone in the move to inland terminals. Another village all but a memory.

And that brings us back to Rhein.

While it was nostalgic to attend the anniversary, it was a nostalgia tinged by the reality that the village has little hope of existing to mark another 100 years. As one participant said, he doubted 40. He was probably right.

I recognize rural depopulation is a trend started at the end of the First World War, and the likelihood of that changing is nil.

But that said, I am left with the feeling that each time a small rural community disappears from maps the larger community of province and country are a bit worse off for the loss.

The Rheins, Togos, Eldersleys and Clashmoors of this country had a sense of community, togetherness, of making the most of what exists at hand which frankly does not translate to larger communities, and therein is the sadness of continued change.

Crop report July 16 to 22 Warm weather continues to help advance crop development. Saskatchewan livestock producers have 69 per cent of the 2013 hay crop cut and 43 per cent baled or put into silage, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report.

Rain showers and high humidity has slowed hay progress and decreased hay quality in some areas. Seventy-four per cent of the provincial hay crop is rated as good in quality.

Hay yields are slightly above the five-year average (20082012). The estimated average hay yields on dry land are re-

ported as 1.5 tons per acre for alfalfa and alfalfa/brome hay, 1.3 tons per acre for other tame hay, one ton per acre for wild hay and two tons per acre for greenfeed.

On irrigated land, the estimated average hay yields are 2.5 tons per acre for alfalfa and alfalfa/brome hay, 2.2 tons per acre for other tame hay, one ton per acre for wild hay and four tons per acre for greenfeed.

The majority of crops are in good to excellent condition.

Eighty-seven per cent of spring wheat, 82 per cent of canola, 80 per cent of lentils and 89 per cent of peas are in good to

excellent condition.

Most parts of the province received varying amounts of rain last week ranging from trace to 91 mm. Flooding, hail, wind and insects caused the majority of crop damage.

Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 12 per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate and eight per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as nine per cent surplus, 82 per cent adequate, eight per cent short and one per cent very short. Farmers are busy haying and controlling insects and crop disease.

What temperatures mean to maturity

By Dave Cubbon, P Ag, Cavalier Agrow Ltd. Everyone is now starting to talk about harvest and when is it coming. We had a late start this spring. As the summer has progressed, it looked like the crop was coming on very well.

The cold nights in the last couple of weeks have slowed things down so all of us are looking at what our crop is going to coming into the fall.

Growing degree-day can be defined as a day on which the mean daily temperature is one degree above the minimum temperature required for the growth of a particular crop.

The base for the cereals that we grow is generally considered to be at 4 degrees Celsius. Newer research is indicating in all cool season crops, we are seeing growth at temperatures that are below this level.

If the lower temperature is used, the amount of accumulated growing degree days goes up significantly.

These calculations become important when trying to pre-

dict maturity of the crops in the fields of the area. The first factor that must be known is when the seeding date was.

This date is critical because it is the date when the plants started to grow.

This means that if heat was present, the plants would have some growth occurring the next day if the temperature was above the base line levels required for the crop.

The accumulation of this heat would give us an idea of how close we are to maturity for a specific crop.

The average accumulation for the Meadow Lake weather data is around 1550 growing degree days using 0 degrees Celsius as the base line temperature.

For cereals, we require an accumulation of around 1500 growing degree days that do not include a killing frost.

My guess is that most of the fields that we planted by May 25 have accumulated upwards of 1,100 growing degree days this season. We still need some heat in August to get to the levels of growing degree days that we require to get our

crops to maturity.

As we all know, we cannot control the weather. I use these numbers to talk to producers about when they can expect to get things happening in their fields.

These numbers give an indication as to when fields should be sprayed pre-harvest to maintain quality.

It also gives a producer an idea as to what the risk is for a specific crop will be to get it too harvest. With what I am seeing out there this season, most of the fields will be past the risk of frost by the first of September if we use proper management practices that help speed up maturity.

As we get closer to harvest, look at the tools that are available for speeding up maturity. Pre-harvest glyphosate is a tool that has many benefits, one of which is providing an earlier date where harvest can occur. Look at the tools available and make the right best decision. Quality and yield must both be considered to ensure that the most profitable bushels are harvested.

Generous, anonymous donation

A generous, anonymous donation was recently made to the Town of Shellbrook with the hopes that the funds would be allocated to some significant institutions in the community. The Town presented a large portion of the funds to the Hidden Hills of Shellbrook Golf Course on July 25, handing them a cheque for $25,000.

The Hidden Hills of Shellbrook has incurred a number of costs in the last few years to improve the overall quality of the course. Since 2009, irrigation and construction costs have totalled $522,000.

Incoming donations and fundraising as of January 1, 2013 was about $205,781, which left a remaining balance of $319,219. A portion of that debt equal to $178,000 is in the form of a loan from the Town of Shellbrook, while the remaining $141,219 is a line of credit. In addition to the golf course’s regular yearly payment of $15,000 to the Town, this $25,000 boost will bring the balance owing down to $279,219. This means that the irrigation and expansion project will be 47% paid for by the end of 2013.

Prime Minister Harper’s recent trip to Europe helped our Canadian government strengthen ties, promote economic prosperity and demonstrated to the world that Canada is a leader on the world stage.

In England, he became the second Canadian Prime Minister (and the first in nearly seventy years) to address the Palace of Westminster in front of the Members of Parliament and the House of Lords. In doing so, Prime Minister Harper commented on the values our nations share, including our dedication to freedom, democracy and the rule of law.

“Now is not the time to doubt our values or our friends, or, indeed, ourselves,” said Prime Minister Harper in his address, “Rather, now is the time to re-discover our values, to reaffirm their importance and to fall back upon them. It is the steadfast resolve to fully apply those time-honoured principles that we already know work.”

The Prime Minister also attended the G8 Summit in Northern Ireland, holding productive meetings with the leaders of other G8 countries. Prime Minister Harper also

Factors affecting hay quality

By Allan Foster, PAg., Regional Forage Specialist, Tisdale Regional Services Branch, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Haying is well underway and hopefully rains are holding off so that the crop can be wrapped up quickly. Once haying is over and the bales are stacked, getting a feed test to determine the nutritional value of this year’s crop will help make the most of your labour.

The nutritional quality of hay crops can vary significantly depending on the year.

Plant maturity, weathering in the swath, and soil moisture and nitrogen levels are some of the factors that affect the nutritional value.

Plant maturity is the main factor affecting digestibility, content and yield. Harvest timing is generally dictated by the weather so it is not always possible to optimize digestibility, protein content and yield. Yield will increase as hay matures but this will be at the expense of protein and energy content. Having said this, it is still better to have hay standing during wet weather than in a swath.

Rain on swathed hay will reduce the energy content and yield. After cutting, hay will continue to respire until it dries to about 30% moisture content. Respiration uses carbohydrates which reduces the energy content and dry matter weight of hay.

With good weather this initial drying occurs within a couple days and little of the hay’s energy content is lost. If cutting is followed by rain, this will delay dry-down and

prolong respiration.

Also each time the hay is rewetted, enzymes in the hay are activated and respiration starts again. If the hay lies through extended wet weather, bacteria, yeasts and fungi development will increase the overall respiration rate and the energy content can be reduced significantly.

Rain can have another effect. Ample spring moisture generally results in better hay crops. This is good for total yield but better yields tend to be lower in protein. Grass and cereal hay are the most affected.

The bottom line is the total protein harvested per acre will generally be higher in moister years than in dry years, because more tons of hay are harvested per acre, but the actual protein content, that is, the percent protein of the hay, tends to be higher in drier years.

Knowing the nutritive value of the feeds being fed allows supplementation to the levels required if needed. Experience and a visual examination of hay can provide a good idea of the condition and probably a good estimation of quality, but the only way to accurately measure the nutritional content is with a feed test.

For more information on this or other forage related topics, please contact Al Foster at (306) 878-8890 or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-4572377.

Scotiabank donates $5000 to Shellbrook Silvertips hockey team

Scotiabank recently donated $5000 to the Shellbrook Silvertips hockey team in an effort to match funds from a fundraising golf tournament that took place on June 22.

The tournament, which was a joint fundraiser between the Silvertips and the Shellbrook Elks, saw a turnout of about 81 golfers.

The tournament was a “really good day, successful,” commented Jason McComas of the Silvertips.

“Through the $5000 that we get from Scotiabank, on top of whatever else we earn from the tournament, it helps cover the cost of operating a team throughout the winter,”

he said.

Though we are in the middle of the summer months, anticipation is already brewing for the upcoming hockey season, one that may see a few changes for one of the local squads.

“I think we’re actually changing leagues this year . . . (to) a more stable league,” McComas said. The plan is to join the Saskatchewan Prairie Hockey League (SPHL) for the 2013 campaign.

Photographed, from left to right, are Jason McComas of the Silvertips, and Ashley Rudolph and Gad Al-Kheichen of Scotiabank.

The Shellbrook Elks and Silvertips would like to thank the following businesses for their generous support in helping make the 9th Annual Elks/Silvertips Golf Tournament a success.

Green between the lines - Drew Willy leads Riders to victory

By Jon Svec Week five saw a rematch between the unbeaten Riders and the struggling Ticats, this time on the Ticats’ adopted home turf in Guelph, Ontario. The first game was won 37-0 by the Riders, which certainly led to differing weeks of practice for the two squads. An embarrassing loss offers a team the chance to reevaluate what they are doing and make changes as necessary, where a blowout win offers different challenges for coaches, who must keep their players grounded and find areas to improve. The big news leading up to kickoff was that quarterback Darian Durant would not be starting for the Riders due to a lingering foot injury, and the reigns would be handed to understudy Drew Willy.

Early in the game, the Ticats showed that they did their homework throughout the week, and they took advantage of what the Riders have been doing on defense. They actually handed the ball off on their first drive, when they saw the Riders using the same light box that they had gotten away with in the first contest, and the Ticats found some success.

Hamilton’s first drive led to a field goal, and the second time they had the ball they again drove the ball into Riders territory. The Riders then did what they do best, which is send the house on a heavy blitz. It finally caught up to them, however, when one too many players went after the quarterback, leaving Lindsey Lamar wide open for an easy score. All of a sudden the Riders were down 10-0 on the road with a backup quarterback under centre, and they were offered their first chance to see how they would react when presented with some adversity.

Willy looked a little shaky early in the contest. It was clear that the Riders’ plan was to use a lot of play action to take advantage of their successful run game and open things up for their backup quarterback. The problem with play action, however, is that it takes longer for the quarterback to get his eyes downfield, allowing less time for him to make his decisions. The first time that the Riders were threatening to score, Willy got away with a potentially drastic blunder when the ball slipped out of his hand and fluttered wildly into the air, thankfully landing safely on the ground, and forcing the Riders to settle for a field goal.

By the second quarter the Riders’ run game had yet to find ground, so they made a slight switch in philosophy that

proved successful. Instead of play action, the Riders went back to using maximum protection to keep Willy safe while he made his reads. His first touchdown strike of the day was made behind a wall of blockers, and completed to newly acquired Geroy Simon on a corner route in the end zone.

The Ticats responded with a drive of their own, and when they got close to pay dirt they went back to a play that they ran earlier in the game, clearly a wrinkle that they had installed to take advantage of the Riders’ frequent use of man to man defense. They stacked two receivers, one behind the other, and split them wide. There are only a couple ways to play this alignment defensively, and the Riders chose to jam the first receiver and loosen on the second, locking up both defensive backs in man to man. The first receiver simply ran off the line and executed a corner route, an offensive advantage when you know the defense is in man, especially when jamming, and Burris made the easy pass for the score.

The Riders next drive ended with another Drew Willy touchdown pass, on a play that again used maximum protection to give him time. This time they used a simple out route to Chris Getzlaf, who caught the ball, broke a tackle, and ran in for a score.

After a Ticats punt, the Riders took the ball and again marched down the field, the big play coming from Geroy Simon on the drive. By then the successful passing game has loosened up the Ticats, so Willy didn’t need max protection to make his third touchdown pass of the half, this time hooking up with Weston Dressler who had run a hard post route all the way across the field.

The 26-17 halftime lead was too much for the Ticats to overcome, especially with the stifling Riders defense, and the fact that the offense continued to score.

Defensively, Renauld Williams continued his dominant play, flying around the field the entire game. He ate up the run game, and continued to pressure the quarterback when asked to blitz, which was often. Perhaps his best play of the day came when he sniffed out a screen pass and delivered a hammering blow.

On the offensive side of the ball, Sheets continued to deliver. The Riders have shown that they trust their running back, as they allow him time to get going when needed and continue to hand him the ball behind their dominant offen-

sive line. They have also expanded their run game in the last two weeks, throwing in some outside zone plays from time to time, and even pulling a lineman or two.

After the 32-20 win, the Riders now have the luxury of taking their undefeated record into the bye week. They have time to get healthy, reflect on the season so far, and gear up for their Friday night match-up with the Stampeders on August 9.

Regional Parks provide outstanding outdoor experience

The following article is part two of a two-part series on Regional Parks in the area. Part one ran before the July long weekend, and featured Sturgeon Lake, Canwood, Morin Lake and Big River Regional Parks

By Jon Svec The continued tour of Regional Parks in the area found another handful of well-maintained sites, each offering a unique experience while still sharing in the collective idea of showing off the great outdoors.

The trail to Martin’s Lake Regional Park is paved throughout, providing a smooth path to the park’s gate. Once inside, a break to the left takes you to a rounded mound overlooking the clear waters. To the right you find a section of wide open spaces, campgrounds dotting the outer edges. If you continue into the park you will find a golf course part of the way through, with a renovated clubhouse providing cart rentals and coffee to its patrons. The path continues to wrap all the way around the lake, leading to a large section of permanent cabins, some resting snugly on the shore.

A second pass of the grounds opens your eyes to hidden hamlets throughout, unnoticeable at first but found bursting with campers upon further investigation.

Like many other parks, Martin’s Lake has been busy this year, and remains mostly booked for the rest of the summer. The late start to spring may have slowed things down at first, but it is clear that the state of camping in the area is as vibrant as ever.

Another aspect that Martin’s Lake shares with its counterparts is the vast amount of work that must be done to maintain and im-

prove the grounds. “A lot of upgrades have been done . . . We just spent over a quarter million dollars on a power upgrade throughout the park for the seasonal sites, and there’s more to go. Sooner or later we have to upgrade power for the daily camping too, because campers are not what they used to be--15 amp, 20 amp service no longer suffices,” commented Rick Lapierre, chairman of the park’s board.

One further similarity includes the duality that the park shares between its golf course and its lake, a split that most park representatives bill at 50/50 between the two.

One accolade that the park doesn’t share, however, is the title of Regional Park of the Year for 2010. Also, this August will see the 51st running of the Dave Howe golf tournament.

“Mr. Dave Howe was an integral part of operating this park for some time, and started this tournament,” Lapierre said.

Even with all of the work that the board puts into upkeep at Martin’s Lake Regional Park, Lapierre says that some of the credit must go to the campers who support the site.

“Without our patrons, this park wouldn’t be what it is today,” Lapierre said.

Emerald Lake Regional Park is a little more secluded, accessed by winding

thin roads with shoulders just wide enough for fishermen to cast into the waters that line the trail. Once inside you are presented with a labyrinth of roads-- tall, tall trees separating the campsites within. Even in late morning you can smell the remnants of stoked fires, resurrected from the night before by soft breezes, the sounds of tin cans cracking open and fizzing through the air.

Though the site was designated a Regional Park in 1968, people have been flocking to the lake’s shores since the 1920’s. Like many parks in the area, high water levels have swallowed up large portions of the beach at Emerald Lake, but sandy spots still persist. The lake itself remains in great shape, and as chairman of the board Brad Butler puts it, there’s a reason that people have been coming to the lake for so many years.

“We are one of the originals,” Butler said. The attraction comes from the relative lack of rocks in the lake, as well as its modest size, which makes for good temperatures.

A variety of attractions exist at Emerald Lake, and since the park has never chosen to focus on only one aspect, a mosaic of events are available.

“If you want my opinion, we’re a park for everyw one o . . .There’s nothing we w don’t have,” Butler said. s The park has some events planned for the e upcoming long weeku end, e including night golf on o Saturday and a silent auction a on Sunday. The weekend will also inc clude races for the kids and a watermelon eating i contest.

Like many parks in the area, the campers at E Emerald Lake make up a unique community of individuals i who get together annually to celebrate e the summer. “The people that come up, a lot of them don’t see each other all year, but a of a sudden they come for those two months all and they reunite,” Butler said. “I have a huge group of friends I look forward to seeing.”

While Emerald Lake sits isolated in seclusion, Memorial Lake Regional Park rests in the comfortable confines of the village of Shell Lake. Once you turn off Highway 3 the first thing you notice is the green of the golf course lining both sides of the road. Memorial Lake is one of the only local Regional Parks to boast an 18-hole golf course, complete with grass greens.

They have also constructed a brand new clubhouse to make their course even more inviting. Past the course, deeper into the village, the park gates emerge on your right hand side. If you go straight upon entering, all the way past the various turns that lead to numerous sections of camping, you will eventually emerge at the boat launch site, the wide expanse of Memorial Lake stretching in both dis rections.

Up and to the r right you will stumble r upon some playground u equipment, and back e down to the water’s shore you will see d a swimming area full of families enjoying the lake. j Campers who choose to stay at Memorial Lake are able to enjoy all of the amenities that L the t village has to offer, as the two are fused together and intertwined, a fact that benefits t them both. “Being that we have the large golf t course and the park, it makes us a pretty big c employer in the local community,” commente e John Duncan of the park board. ed The story of the summer so far at Memorial r Lake sounds very similar to the one bei told at other Regional Parks in the area. ing

Duncan claims D l i that attendance t has h been “quite good as of late, g after the rain a let l up . . . we’re always full.” a The T golf course remains very r busy, and the b visitors seem to almost evenly split the use of the lake and the course. Fishing, golfing and camping are all available in abundance at Memorial Lake Regional Park, with the comforts of local banks, restaurants and grocery stores never far from reach.

A trip to Meeting Lake again takes you away from the oft-travelled path, but sturdy winding roads carry travellers safely to its entrance. Bending in through the gates you are taken down a long strip of road, permanent cabins to your right separating you from the shores of the lake.

Campgrounds sit to your left, with lounging campers barely roused for the day. At the end of the strip the large “Round Hall” emerges, a structure steeped in history that has been around, in one form or another, since 1917, and is still utilized today.

Meeting Lake is one of the many parks undergoing upgrades to their serviced sites in order to keep up with increased power needs of campers. They upgraded another ten seasonal sites this year, and the hope is that by next year the whole campground will be on 30 amp service. Just this year the park installed a group camping site that accommodates four to six campers, an ideal location for a family gathering or wedding.

Fishermen have enjoyed the summer so far at Meeting Lake, s with good catches of northern w pike and pickerel being reported. p A mini golf course is located right in i the heart of the park, and octagonal buildings are scattered t

throughout the grounds. Campers gather to enjoy each other’s company at Meeting Lake, lending to the site’s name.

This year, a family jam session broke out at the hall, where local musicians came to perform. The free event was such a success that another one is being planned for the September long weekend.

After visiting all eight of the local Regional Parks, it is easy to see why most of the sites are booked solid for the remainder of the season. Local campers are eager to get out and enjoy the fresh air, the pristine courses, and the clean waters that Regional Parks have to offer. It is clear that, no matter what type of summer Mother Nature has in store each year, local patrons will continue to make the most of it and utilize these local gems.

Like most Saskatchewan citizens, North Ridge Development Corporation is extremely sensitive to the to the value of health care, and they are particularly concerned for those whose needs are most urgent. Thus, they are honoured to have the opportunity to launch a unique fundraising initiative, benefiting the Intensive Care Unit of the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert. The launch of “The Goodwill House” occurred at 2:00 p.m. on July 31 at #1 Hinz Place, Crescent Acres, Prince Albert.

“We were interested in doing something for the community here in Prince Albert,” commented North Ridge general manager Steve Pollock. “We looked at what we were going to do, and teaming up with the hospital seemed like a no-brainer.”

This initiative plans to raise funds and awareness on multiple levels.

North Ridge Development Corporation

has directly contributed, and has solicited funds and/or gifts in kind from numerous sub-trades and suppliers so that the new home they are building can be constructed at far below normal cost.

“We had met with the trades and suppliers here back before we started construction on the house,” Pollock said. “We got together with them as a group and kind of laid out our dream of what we wanted to present here and what we wanted to do, and everybody hopped on board.”

Upon completion, it will be sold on the general market, with proportionate proceeds directed to the Victoria Hospital ICU. All structural members of the home will be of PinkWood, a product which protects lumber from fire and moisture, reducing health risks of mold while slowing burn rate by as much as nine minutes. This not only allows home occupants precious time to escape a fire, but is also a measure of safety for firefighters.

More conifers to consider

By Sara Williams One of the highlights of a holiday to northern Italy was to unexpectedly find myself in what I thought was the middle of a forest of Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra). When I was told that the Italian common name for this tree was cembra, I grinned from ear to ear.

Native to the European Alps and into Asia, Swiss stone pine has a narrow, upright, columnar to pyramidal form, eventually reaching a height of 12 m (40 ft.). The needles are long, soft and in bundles of five. The bark is smooth and

Limber pine.

light grey, becoming scaly with age. Relatively slow growing, they are extremely hardy, resistant to winter sunscald injury, very attractive, trouble-free, and sadly underused.

Excellent in a mixed border or as a specimen tree, especially in a smaller landscape.

Similar to the Swiss stone pine but slightly smaller, the limber pine (Pinus flexilis) is also a good candidate as a specimen tree in a smaller landscape where larger conifers could be overwhelming. Native to British Columbia, Alberta and North Dakota, it reaches only 9 m (30 ft.) and is often multi-trunked. Although moderately slow growing, it can live for several hundred years. The bark is light grey and very smooth. The needles are blue-green and in bundles of five.

Incidentally, the Swiss stone pine is one source for pinenuts, ingredient in pesto and other delicious dishes. But you may have to wait 10 years or more for your first crop.

While ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) is a great tree in every way, it has an enormous natural range, from British Columbia southward with a lot of variability in size and hardiness – not all selections do well on the prairies. Look for the subspecies, Pinus ponderosa var. scopulorum or the Rocky Mountain yellow pine. This one is a smaller, more compact, hardier version of the species. It is native to the Black Hills of South Dakota and grows well on most of the prairie region. So read the small print on the tag and ensure you have the correct one!

With a deep and wide-spreading root system, it reaches 20 m x 6 m (60 x 20 ft.) with a straight trunk with dark grey bark. The canopy is broadly pyramidal. The needles are generally in bundles of three, dark green to yellow green and sharp pointed. Each scale on the cone ends in a rigid, sharp prickle. The bark is dark grey.

For anyone who has explored the Cypress Hills of Saskatchewan and Alberta the lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) is a familiar sight. It is also native to the Rocky Mountains. The common name refers to the use of the long straight trunk in teepees and lodges by First Nations who also used the resin for waterproofing canoes, baskets and moccasins.

Surpassing 20 m (65 ft.) in height, it has a lifespan of up

to 200 years. The needles are dark green to yellow-green, in bundles of two, twisted and sharply pointed. The cones persist on the tree for 10 to 20 years. The root system consists of a deep taproot and spreading lateral roots.

Lodgepole pine is useful in a large landscape for screening, as a specimen tree, and in shelterbelts. It seems to be much more widely available in North Dakota than the Canadian prairies.

As in last week’s article these conifers do best in full sun on well drained soil and are drought-tolerant once established.

And before planting, ensure that mature size matches the size of your yard.
