Friday, June 14 marked a special day in the lives of 31 young members of the community, and their families, when W.P. Sandin celebrated its graduating class of 2013. The event began with the candle passing ceremony, where each graduate entered the darkened gymnasium with a lit candle to be passed to a younger individual in the hopes that he or she will one day do the same.

Following the ceremony, O Canada was sung by

Josie Hamilton, who received a little bit of help from the packed audience.

The first speech of the night came from John McIvor, who represented the Board of Education.

McIvor attempted to remind the students just how lucky they are to have been born in the province of Saskatchewan, in the country of Canada, but that with this privilege comes a large amount of responsibility.

“You’ve won the lottery simply by being born here,” he said. “Hopefully you now have the tool kit to take advantage of that. It’s a great country, but you have to offer back. I hope you remember that people out there in the audience helped you get to where you are, and you’re going to have to do the same thing when you take their place. Make sure you give back.”

Sinkhole develops on Highway 2 When it rains, it pours. Heavy rainfall over the last l week caused problems for some motorists in Northern N Saskatchewan when road conditions were affected a by the significant amount of rain. According i to the CBC, the area saw about 12 centimetres of rain r between June 13-18. Perhaps the biggest problem l was seen on Highway 2 about 52 kilometres north n of the Waskesiu turnoff. Prince Albert RCMP reported r on the morning of June 15 that a section of o the road was closed due to the appearance of a large l sinkhole across the highway. Members of the RCMP and Department of Highways were on scene R at a 8:59 a.m., and at the time they were allowing no traffic in either direction. t By 7:42 p.m. on June 15 RCMP reported that they had cleared the area and left the situation in t the t hands of the Department of Highways. At that point, p a section of the highway remained closed.

Officials O warned that significant rainfall had caused

many other roads to also be shut down, and suggested that motorists take these closures into account when planning their routes. Many decided to follow a path that took them to the eastern side of Montreal Lake, along Highways 165, 106 and 155.

The detour added upwards of two hours onto some trips.

CBC news reported that the damaged section of highway was reopened on Tuesday, June 18.

“We’re pretty in awe of the time,” La Ronge Mayor Thomas Sierzycki told the CBC. “We were expecting Wednesday at the soonest, of course, that’s what the ministry had said, but the ministry did buckle down and all the workers that are employed by the ministry, we’re all very grateful to them . . . I think it’s imperative for our communities in the north, everything from emergency services to services and goods, and to our business sectors, so we’re thrilled to have that road back up.”

A charity bike ride took place on June 14 under soggy skies. The starting point was half-way down Service Road East in Shellbrook, with the finish line resting at Pine Grove Correctional Centre in Prince Albert, where a barbeque waited for the riders. The Government of Saskatchewan was behind the event, with proceeds going towards the Victoria Hospitals Foundation in Prince Albert.

Proposed update of the Provincial Lands Act The Government of Saskatchewan is seeking input from people across the province to improve and modernize The Provincial Lands Act. The Act provides the authority to the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment to administer provincial Crown lands.

The Ministries of Agriculture and Environment will be holding consultation meetings throughout the province. Consulta-

tions will help inform changes to the Act. Crown land clients will receive notification letters of these meetings.

Consultations will address issues such as: improving client service; clarifying language and administration; identifying solutions for land-use conflicts; developing enforcement mechanisms; and strengthening regulatory frameworks.

Public meetings will be held at the follow-

OPINION www.shellbrookchronicle.com

June 21, 2013

What’s the word for it?

If you have ever been at a loss for words, there may be reasonable explanation. Perhaps the word you were searching for doesn’t exist—or, at least, it doesn’t exist in any language that you are familiar with. There is no way that a collection of symbols and sounds could ever encompass everything that goes into the human experience, and sometimes, from one language to the next, things are omitted that another group has decided to include. Sometimes these words can simply save us some time in the midst of a conversation, while other times these words might help pinpoint an emotion or a feeling that is impossible to convey.

A book titled The Meaning of Tingo: And Other Extraordinary Words from Around the World by Adam Jacot De Boinod serves as a collection of some of these untranslatable words. To answer the title question, the word tingo is used on Easter Island, and it means to borrow objects from one of your friends, one at a time, until your friend’s house is completely empty.

JON Forgetting someone’s name SVEC can be awkward, but the situation can often be danced-over with ~ pronouns and quick exits. That is, Reporter until the moment that you realize you must introduce that person to someone else you are with. The Scottish word tartle is meant to encompass that specific moment of panic.

Coming up with common words in the process of ordinary conversation can be tricky enough, and often becomes more difficult when tempers begin to flare and conversations heat and speed up. Sometimes a perfect rebuttal comes to mind only after the discussion has ended and we have already walked away. The French have a term for this, l’esprit de l’escalier, which literally translates into “staircase wit”. The Inuit word itsuarpok also has no English equivalent, and means going outside to see if an expected visitor has arrived.

The Arabic word ya’arburnee, which literally translates into “may you bury me”, is spoken between lovers to express a desire to die before your partner because you cannot bear the thought of living without them.

Even though the above words There is no way have no direct translation into the a collection English language, we can still spell of symbols and out roughly what they mean and come sounds could to a sort of understanding. There are ever encompass words, however, that are so nuanced and personal that we may never be everything able to truly understand them by dethat goes into scription alone. The Russian word human toska falls into this category, though experience author Vladmir Nabokov did his best to attempt to describe its meaning.

“No single word in English renders all the shades of toska,” he said. “At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for.”

The Czech word litost might fall into the same sort of category. Milan Kundera, author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, used the word in his novel. “As for the meaning of this word,” he said. “I have looked in vain in other languages for an equivalent, though I find it difficult to imagine how anyone can understand the human soul without it.” Others have attempted to define the word by saying that it describes a state of agony and torment that is created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery.

Language was created to provide us with the ability to communicate with each other. It isn’t perfect, there are holes, but none of that really matters. When it comes down to it we are equipped to convey the things that really matter. A few simple words will do.

The City of Regina recently voted in favour of annexing land in the neighbouring Rural Municipality of Sherwood to accommodate a population of 500,000.

“Every city grows … and alters their boundaries to accommodate growth,” said Regina Mayor Michael Fougere. “If we don’t do that, then we’re going to have serious problems of attracting people to live here.”

Similarly, Saskatoon has identified a growth area for a population of just over one million people _ equivalent to the entire provincial population right now.

Of course, these are pie-in-the-sky projections that may never come to fruition. But talk of annexation comes at a time when cities and neighbouring RMs are already at loggerheads over development opportunities _ especially Regina and Sherwood.

The fighting is already a headache for the province and headache. Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter is now hinting his Saskatchewan Party government may have to use increased provincial powers to resolve such disputes.

“It’s one I’d be perfectly happy if we never had to use,” Reiter told the StarPhoenix’s Joe Couture. “But I think it’s important that we have those tools available if there are instances where growth opportunities are being lost just simply because adjacent municipalities won’t co-operate.”

It may also be a good time for RMs to consider what they really are all about in this increasingly complex Saskatchewan.

YOUR TWO C ENTS ~

Letter to PM wants Crown corporations kept at arm’s length A group of Canadian academics, journalists, actors and union leaders sent an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper today urging him to remove provisions in budget implementation bill C-60 that would allow for government intervention in Crown corporations, including CBC and Canada Post.

The House of Commons will vote on Bill C-60 this coming week.

The letter is signed by 89 Canadians, including former Canada Industrial Relations Board chair Warren Edmonson, former Radio-Canada VP Sylvain Lafrance, writer Susan Swan, actors Shirley Douglas, Wendy Crewson, Peter Keleghan, and Sarah Gadon, Canadian Labour Congress president Ken Georgetti, lawyers Paul Cavalluzzo and Michel Coutu, and academics George Smith, Larry Haiven and Collette Brin.

The text of the letter reads as follows: We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about provisions in the omnibus budget Bill C-60 that allow for direct government involvement with negotiations between employees and their employers at 48 Crown corporations, including CBC, Canada Post and Via Rail.

The changes Bill C-60 makes to the Financial Ad-

ministration Act go against the spirit of the Canada Labour Code to support productive relationships between unions and management “in the best interests of Canada in ensuring a just share of the fruits of progress to all . . .” They stand to take away a fundamental freedom of Canadian democracy: the right to free collective bargaining.

The government already exerts significant power over Crown Corporations, which are supposed to be at arm’s length, by appointing the presidents and board members.

The government intervention in Canada Post’s negotiations with employees in 2011 would become a permanent feature for all Crown Corporations.

The new government powers would disrupt the relationships between Crown Corporations and their employees, which we believe will have negative consequences on Canadian society and the economy for years to come.

Furthermore, by participating directly in management decisions at CBC/Radio-Canada, the government could participate directly in discussions about news programming and assignments at the largest news or-

ganization in the country.

This is a line that should not be crossed in a democratic country.

We believe this legislation will curb the rights of Canadian workers and employers to negotiate collectively for fair wages and working conditions.

We ask you to remove these unprecedented and unnecessary new powers over Crown Corporations from Bill C-60.

W.P. Sandin students take the plunge Grade 11 and 12 students from the Physics 30 class at W.P. Sandin High School had the chance to put some of their lessons to the test on June 13 when The Diving Center made its way to town. They had been studying fluids in the classroom, a curriculum that involves aspects like pressure and buoyancy, and they took these concepts with them when they left the classroom and headed to the local pool. The activity began with one more classroom session, where members of The Diving Center team went over some of the basics of scuba diving. From there they headed to the pool where abstract numbers

and concepts turned into a tangible, sensory experience, when students were invited to put on the scuba gear and plunge into the water.

The Diving Center’s goal was to give the students an introductory scuba diving experience. George Mueller, one of the instructors, said that these samplings are a great way to try out an activity like scuba diving without having to commit to lessons and certification, which can be costly. He explained that the event was “a no-stringsattached taste” of what scuba diving is all about.

Parkside Centennial Father’s Day Contest The draw for the Father’s Day contest for Parkside’s centennial was made on June 15th at the Parkside General Store. Orville Agrey, long time Parkside area resident won the main prize of a basket of goodies containing: a BBQ meat package from J & R Meats, a set of steak knives from Sask Power, a gas gift card from Tang’s Tempo, a gift card from Shellbrook Home Hardware, a package of fishing supplies from McHanson’s Home Hardware, plus BBQ tools and an apron and a selection of BBQ sauces.

David Moe, Mayor of Parkside and member of the Parkside Centennial Committee presented Orville with his prize at the Park-

side Gen Store on Monday (June 16th) morning.

Randy Nolan won the gas gift card from Northwood Esso and Stacey Hunt won a set of BBQ tools. From among those under 18 who submitted an entry, Evan Hunt’s name was drawn for a gift card from Subway.

Many thanks to all who donated prizes and to those who entered their Dad’s name by interviewing him about a man who taught him important life lessons. The best part of the contest, though, was that people were talking about Parkside men who were influential in their lives.

Farmers are sent some very contradicting messages It’s rather obvious there is at the very least a perception that drug use in livestock production is something consumers oppose.

It’s the same when it comes to the concepts of genetically modified crops, and even using crop protection products again in-field weeds and insect pests.

As a result there are of course pressures to change things.

The problem is while consumers may hold some concerns, the majority are not willing to cough up more dollars to offset the losses farmers could face by stopping the use of such products.

There are some that will pay more, and we see that niche in terms of organic food sales.

But the majority of consumers would check mark concern on a questionnaire but won’t pay extra for foods which have been produced sans such additives.

So farmers, domestically at least, are sent some very contradicting messages,

China, will no longer accept pork from At present the debate over such additives animals fed ractopamine, which is an exis happening in the hog business. ample of a barrier created by politics more

than concrete reasoning.

So there is a call in Alberta for producers opting to produce hogs without ractopamine in their diets to receive a premium.

It would seem easy enough to have a production chain from farmer to processor which could guarantee non-use of the additive.

And since such production would extend days to market and thus raise production costs, there should reasonably be a premium paid.

The problem, whether a Canadian consumer, or an export buyer such as China, or Russia, is having them be willing to pay extra for something they desire, and in the case of the export markets demand.

Ultimately, consumers need to be willing to pay premiums when their desires fundamentally alter how a farmer farms, and in so doing cuts into profits. Farmers need to offset such losses by better returns from their end users. At that point consumers can have a greater say in what farmers do.

The Protector of the Flock Summer means pasture time! For livestock producers this is a time of excitement, no more feeding, and often less stress once the animals are out on grass. Yet for a sheep producer, this often comes with constant worrying that predator animals are sneaking in to your pasture. In Saskatchewan, we are faced with high coyote populations that if not monitored can have a large impact on the productivity of your sheep flock. One way to mitigate these issues is to have a predator plan.

Some options, aside from a heavy duty electrical fence, include guard animals like llamas, donkeys and dogs.

They each have very different roles in acting as guard animals. A guard llama will live with the flock and act to intimidate coyotes, while potentially herding the ewes away from the attacking animals. However a large pack of coyotes or other animals may be able to take down the llama. It will be important to select a large strong male to act as the guard. One thing to note, when using a male llama be sure he is gelded before placing with the ewes to prevent any reproductive issues.

Donkeys have been long known to be effective at bonding with their flock and scaring off any intruders. Once

bonded, they do their best to chase intruders out of the flock, even stray dogs. A jenny donkey can often guard 100 ewes with no problems, but producers with larger flocks or larger or more remote pastures may want to think about using a guardian dog.

Guardian dogs work in three different ways. One will maintain the perimeter of the flock, another will stay within the flock, or a hybrid type, which works within the flock as well as patrolling the perimeter to protect the flock. Before choosing a dog, take the time to research and consult with reputable breeders and trainers to find the right dog for your situation. These animals require special training and significant bonding time to establish as effective guardians of your flock, but the time investment can be very beneficial.

When deciding how many dogs you will need, start slowly before adding additional dogs to the flock. These animals typically work all night and sleep with the flock during the day, while still keeping an eye on the flock. If the dog is overworked he will spend more time sleeping than guarding during the day. With too little work for the animal they may grow bored and become ineffective at

Crop report for June 4 to 10, 2013 Seeding is nearing completion in the province with 96 per cent of the 2013 crop in the ground, significantly above the five-year (2008-2012) average of 89 per cent seeded for this time of year.

Regionally, 93 per cent of the crop is seeded in the southeast while the remaining regions each have 97 per cent of the crop seeded.

Much of the province received significant rainfall which has slowed down field operations.

The Kinistino area reported the greatest amount of rainfall at 93 mm. Provincially, topsoil moisture on crop land is rated as 10 per cent surplus, 84 per cent adequate and six per cent short.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 86 per cent adequate and 10 per cent

short.

The majority of fall cereals are in the tillering to jointed stages of crop development while most spring cereals are in the emerging to tillering stages.

The majority of pulse crops are emerging and in the vegetative stages and flax crops are mostly in the pre-emergent or emerging crop stages. Canola and mustard crops are emerging or at the seedling stage of crop development.

Some reported crop damage this week was due to localized flooding, frost and insect damage from flea beetles, cutworms and pea leaf weevil.

Farmers are busy finishing seeding and controlling weeds.

guarding the flock. The workload should be determined on an individual flock basis, as predators in the area and the terrain that the dogs must cover will vary.

Remember that these guardians all have their own set of vaccinations and nutritional requirements. Often this can be over looked as they are “just” protecting your sheep. A sick guardian animal can potentially infect your herd with certain diseases and eliminate any added benefits they had been providing. Body condition scoring your guardians will also be important to ensure that the animals have the energy and strength to do their jobs.

June 28 deadline approaches for nominations to citizen consultation team Team Members to Play Important Role in Development of Province-Wide Disability Strategy The deadline for nominations to the Citizen Consultation Team that will steer the development of a province-wide Disability Strategy is now just two weeks away.

The 12-15 members of the team will provide advice on the consultation process, priorities and content of the Disability Strategy.

Nominations will be accepted until June 28, and team members will be appointed in the fall of this year.

“We are looking to the people of Saskatchewan for their input in developing the Disability Strategy,” Legislative Secretary and Regina Coronation Park MLA Mark Docherty said.

Docherty will serve as a member of the Citizen Consultation Team, and report directly to Social Services Minister June Draude.

“It’s important to draw from as many experiences and opinions as possible in order for the Disability Strategy to support our goal of making Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live for per-

sons with disabilities,” Docherty said.

“To do that, we need people with disabilities to be able to fully participate in, and benefit from, our province’s growing economy.”

The Disability Strategy will focus on the priority areas outlined in the Government’s Plan for Growth: accessibility, affordability and availability of housing; transportation; employment; education; support for community inclusion; and support for caregivers. Other priorities may emerge during the consultation process.

Members of the public can submit their nominations for the Citizen Consultation Team by downloading the application form from the Ministry of Social Services website at www.socialservices.gov.sk.ca/disability-strategy.

Those individuals who are not selected for the Citizen Consultation Team will have other opportunities to contribute to the process, including taking part in working groups, public consultations and one-on-one meetings.

Housing in Northern Saskatchewan The on-going effort to meet the continuing demand for housing in northern Saskatchewan is the focus of the 2013 Northern Housing Summit being held June 12-13, in Prince Albert.

Presented by New North – Saskatchewan Association of Northern Services Inc. and Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, the summit will engage interested participants in identifying housing challenges and solutions specific to the North.

“The summit’s theme, Planning and Partnerships for Progress, is most appropriate because planning and partnerships go hand in hand when it comes to addressing Saskatchewan’s housing challenges,” Carrot River MLA Fred Bradshaw said on behalf of Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation June Draude.

“As part of Saskatchewan’s Plan for Growth, we need a range of responses to meet the differing needs of communities across the province, including the North. That is why we are happy to participate in this summit so we can collectively create a workable blueprint to improve housing in the North.”

“Northern Saskatchewan is a unique place,” New North Saskatchewan Association of Northern Services Inc. Chief Executive Officer Al Loke said. “We are pleased to see the Government of Saskatchewan partnering with northerners to help find unique solutions to northern housing issues.”

The Northern Housing Summit will bring northerners together with housing sector representatives to explore northern housing topics, needs and issues and identify solutions through partnerships and planning. Agenda topics include Community Plans and Land Use Planning; Local Housing Action Plans; Financing for Homeownership or Rental Projects; State of Housing in Canada; Housing as Business; Education (development, ownership, municipal capacity); and Community Economic Development. It is hoped discussions at the summit will contribute to the province’s eight-year housing

strategy with achievable plans and solutions for improving housing in northern Saskatchewan.

Planning committee members for this summit include representatives from Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC), New North – Saskatchewan Association of Northern Services Inc. (New North - SANC Services Inc.), Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Northern Municipal Services, the Northern Village of La Loche, and managers of northern housing authorities.

Nicole Adams, daughter of Kevin and Angela Adams convocated with Great Distinction from the University of Saskatchewan with a degree in Electrical Engineering on June 3, 2012.

Nicole is employed at Littlefuse-Startco in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Kaylee Diehl makes her way down the aisle during the candle passing ceremony.

The graduating class gives guest speaker Mrs. Virginia Gray a standing ovation.

“We came as strangers, we’re leaving as friends” Continued from front page Next, Principal Dawne Braaten took the stage to offer the students some borrowed words of wisdom. She quoted a number of classic and modern thinkers whose inspirational words pertained to the stage in life that these students are about to embark upon.

She summed up her talk by emphasizing the important themes that she hoped the students would remember to take with them. “As you leave here, continue to learn, be yourself, keep a positive attitude, follow your values and your heart, and take responsibility.”

“We are so proud of you all,” she said.

“It’s been a pleasure to have watched you become the young men and women that you are tonight.”

She then asked the audience to join her in a round of applause to congratulate the graduating class.

Following the presentation of the Graduation Certificates, Shelby Brown took the podium to welcome in the guest speaker of the evening, Mrs. Virginia Gray.

Before she began her speech, Mrs. Gray took a moment to hand each graduating student a small plastic fork.

She claimed that the item was meant to give the students something to play with since none of them were allowed to bring their cell phones onto the stage, but everyone later found out that this was not the only reason for the prop.

Haley Pepper dances with her father Clark.

She spoke about the fact that these students would soon be moving on to a different sort of world, a world filled with paradoxes.

“We buy more things, but we enjoy things less,” she said.

“We build bigger houses, but we have smaller families. We have more education, but we have less sense. We have more medicine, less health. We have added years to life, but no life to the years. We’ve conquered space, but not our prejudices. We know how to rush, but we’ve forgotten how to wait, and we have huge technology to communicate, and we communicate less.”

Besides opening the student’s eyes to some of the realities of the current state of the real world, Mrs. Gray also had another point to drive home, one regarding the idea of accountability.

“Your successes are yours, you are responsible for them. But contrary to that, paradoxically, your failures are your fault too.”

Later, she explained the distribution of the plastic forks with a story. There was an older lady, she said, who had decided that she needed to do some planning in regards to her final wishes.

She went to the minister and described some of the flowers that she wanted at her funeral, some of the songs, and she also explained that she wanted to be buried with a fork in her right hand.

When the minister questioned her

about this strange request, she was happy to explain.

“When I’ve been to a friend’s house for a good meal, somebody’s always come to take the dishes, and often times they’ve whispered ‘keep your fork’, and that meant that something good was coming.

Chocolate cake, pie, ice cream, something wonderful.”

“So I say to you tonight, keep your fork,” Mrs. Gray concluded. “The best things in life are yet to come, and you need to be ready for them.”

The last word of the night was had by class valedictorian Cody Jewitt. Cody took the opportunity to reminisce about some of the brighter, and funnier, moments that the class and staff experienced throughout the years. His speech, however, was not without sincerity.

“Everyone here has helped us thorough the good and the bad times, guiding our steps towards our future goals, teaching us the values of life,” he said.

“I want to thank you all for the time and dedication you have put towards our future. We have all achieved remarkable goals, and in doing so we have made memories in the process.”

Knox United Church annual Heritage Sunday

The Knox United Church held their annual Heritage Sunday on June 16 with a festive celebration followed by a barbeque and potluck lunch. The event began with a parade of flags led by pipers. The flags were meant to represent the different heritages of the members of the congregation.

The focus for this year’s event was on the French heritage in our country. To celebrate this the National Anthem was sung in both French and English, and a group singing of Frere Jacque was performed in rounds. Pat Sonntag and Marj Bradley (photographed above) also performed.

Pastor Dave, in his sermon, began by highlighting some of the many French Canadians who have achieved success over a wide range of fields.

He later veered into a discussion of diver-

sity in general. He preached that we, as a country, should be proud of our diversity and embrace it as a blessing. He highlighted his point by asking those in attendance to open up the bag of colourful ribbons that they were presented with before the service began.

He attributed a virtue to each colour, and had everyone tie the strands together until each person held a long, colourful string. He then asked everyone to tie their string to the one next to them, and so on, until one large stretch of rainbow colours was produced. It was a great example of what can be achieved when people work together and embrace their differences.

After the service everyone retired to the hall in the back of the church to enjoy the food and each other’s company.

Saskatchewan attracting Manitobans in droves In late May a man called into a Brandon, Manitoba radio station and described how he regularly saw lots of Manitoba license plates in parking lots in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

The gentleman shared his observation on the talk show as he was agreeing with the suggestion that increasing Manitoba’s provincial sales tax from 7 per cent to 8 per cent would only drive – pun intended – more people to shop in Saskatchewan; where the sales tax is only 5 per cent.

But not only will a sales tax increase encourage more people living in western Manitoba to shop over the border in Saskatchewan, it’ll push even more people to outright pack up and move there.

Don’t believe it?

Consider some Statistics Canada numbers dug up by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a donation-based taxpayers watchdog organization.

From 2002 to 2012, a whopping 21,132 Manitobans moved to Saskatchewan. Yet, over the same period only 19,335 people moved from Saskatchewan to Manitoba.

Thus, Saskatchewan saw a net gain of almost 1,800 through the shuffling of feet between the two provinces.

In fact, if you dig into the numbers even further you’ll find Saskatchewan has really turned things around over the past decade.

From 2002 to 2007, Saskatchewan saw 24,711 more people leave the province than the number that came to Saskatchewan from other provinces. This included a net loss of 22,261 people to Alberta.

However, during the last five years, 2007

to 2012, Saskatchewan has seen a net gain of over 12,698 people from other provinces. Incredibly, Saskatchewan has achieved this gain not just from Manitoba, but from Alberta and Ontario.

So what can Manitoba and Saskatchewan both learn about what’s going on? Loud and clear, the lesson is to be competitive.

Saskatchewan’s former NDP government deserves credit for rejigging resource royalty rates starting in 2002. In other words, the government was charging businesses too much money for pulling materials out of the ground (eg. oil, potash, etc.) so there simply wasn’t as much business activity in the province as there could have been.

Once the new competitive rates were announced, investment dollars flowed into the province by the billion. Literally thousands of jobs were created and the economy really took off.

Since then, under both the NDP and Saskatchewan Party, the Saskatchewan government has reduced business taxes, personal income taxes, the provincial sales tax and school taxes. As each rate became more competitive, taxpayers saved more and more money and they were able to use the savings to support local businesses.

Others took their savings and used it to start their own companies; further spurring economic growth and creating jobs.

And particularly, with the business tax (which fell from 17 to 12 per cent), the government didn’t lose any money. In fact, business tax revenues have increased by more than 600 per cent over the past decade.

Conversely, Manitoba hasn’t seen the same transformational change. No, it has slowly let Manitobans drift into a situation where they’re paying some of the highest personal income taxes in Canada, the province’s mining taxes are high and of course, the sales tax is set to increase.

Just as people shop around for better deals, governments need to realize the public, and businesses, will also shop around if governments aren’t competitive.

The Saskatchewan government needs to continue to aim to be even more competitive, while the Manitoba government needs to get in the game. Until then, we’ll see more Manitoba license plates leaving the province and not turning back.

Green between the lines - Riders open the preseason with a win

by Jon Svec The final score may have been inconsequential, but it was far from a meaningless game. The Roughriders travelled to Edmonton last week to take on the Eskimos on June 14 at Commonwealth Stadium. It was the first of two preseason games that the Riders will play in order to tune-up for the season opener, which will take place back in Edmonton on June 29.

Preseason games, when used properly, are valuable tools. Many coaches seem to vary their philosophies regarding such games, but they must remember to take into account the state of their team going into the season. Veteran, established teams often hold back and let the young players play, while upstart or rebuilding franchises often use the games to provide their potential starters with valuable in-game experience.

We can perhaps gain a little insight into what head coach Corey Chamblin sees when he looks at his roster by the list of names that weren’t on the flight manifest heading into Edmonton.

According to CBC news, veterans Weston Dressler, Geroy Simon, Ricky Foley, Dominic Picard, Eddie Russ, Rey Williams, Mike McCullough and Keith Shologan didn’t even make the trip. Nonetheless, over 60 potential Riders suited up in the green and white on Friday night to kickoff the 2013 campaign.

Off-seasons are long, and they tend to drag and stretch after losing a first-round playoff game, especially one where you held the lead with under a minute to go.

Those memories can help fuel off-season regiments and training routines, but no amount of Gatorade can wash that taste from your mouth.

The opening kickoff of another season, however, provides the opportunity for a fresh start, and the chance to unload some of that pent-up frustration. Riders special teams ace Graig Newman took advantage of that opportunity on the opening kickoff of the 2013 preseason when he hustled downfield and fell off a block right into the Eskimos return man, jarring the ball loose. Edmonton recovered the fumble, but it set a nice tone for the season.

After halting Edmonton’s drive, the Riders made another statement on their first offensive play. They iso-

lated WR Taj Smith on the short side of the field, allowing QB Drew Willy to hit him with a nice back-shoulder fade for a first down. Smith had a good game, hauling in 4 passes for 75 yards, and they even tried to get him going by lining him up in the slot to take a handoff on a sweep. He did, however, give up a costly fumble in the first quarter that the Eskimos picked up and returned for a touchdown.

One new face that stood out for the Riders was import defensive end Antonio Coleman. The twenty-six year old Auburn product bounced around various NFL teams before signing with the Riders in April of this year. He showed a wide range of skills in his debut. He showed that he can come off a double team and chase down an outside run, he showed that he can anchor an edge on an inside zone, and once he even stunted inside to make a play on the quarterback. The former linebacker finished the game with four tackles and a sack.

While all newcomers wish to stand out in their first game, no one wants it to be for the wrong reasons. Import return specialist Phillip Livas was hoping to bust a long return in his debut, something he did a number of times in his college career at Louisiana Tech.

He finished his college career with eight return touchdowns, and even returned one for 75 yards in an NFL preseason game with the Dolphins. In his first game with the Riders, however, Livas was scrambling to field a punt when he made a costly gaffe. He stabbed at the bouncing ball while moving towards his own goal line, making it a live ball that was recovered by the Eskimos inside the 10 yard line. Opportunities are few and far between in professional sports. Livas was cut by the team on June 17.

Starting quarterback Darian Durant waited until the second quarter to enter the game, and used the snaps to work off some rust. He made some strong throws, but looked a little shaky when meshing with backs on run plays. In total, four quarterbacks played for the Roughriders throughout the evening. Overall they combined to be 26-34 for 352 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions. An impressive stat-line at any time of year, and especially sharp for a preseason game. The running game, on the other hand, was virtually non-existent,

with three different running backs rushing for a total of 30 yards.

A strange thing happened with two minutes left on the clock in this preseason affair—a football game broke out.

All of a sudden the Riders found themselves down by seven points facing a third and four on the Eskimos 27 yard line. Quarterback Tino Sunseri dropped back and completed a pass to rookie Alex Anthony, a fifth round draft pick out of Laurier. A few plays later, on a third and goal play from one yard out, Sunseri completed a pass to a flaring DeDe Dorsey for a touchdown, tying the game.

On the following drive, Graig Newman, the Hilltops product who made a play to start the game, made a play to virtually end it when he picked off a deflected ball and returned it 57 yards for a Roughrider touchdown.

The game, which ended with a score of 31-24 for the Roughriders, proved to be a good starting point for the 2013 season. After reviewing the film, coaches should be able to pinpoint a couple of key areas to work on in the coming weeks, and though the score may not mean anything in the standings, it never hurts to come away with a win.

Time-saving cleaning tricks House cleaning is a chore few people relish. House cleaning can be monotonous and time-consuming. But ignoring cleaning tasks may leave you with a much larger mess to tackle.

Cleaning does not have to be such a difficult job. There are a number of time-saving strategies to keep the mess to a minimum and keep your weekend afternoons free from all-day cleaning marathons. * Do the dishes after every meal. A sink full of dishes can make the kitchen look like a mess, and letting dishes pile up increases the risk of an insect infestation.

Although it may seem like a chore, keeping on top of dishes actually reduces your workload. If you’re lucky enough to have an automatic dishwasher, then load dishes directly into the dishwasher instead of putting dirty items into the sink.

* Protect your microwave. The inside of the microwave tends to get dirty rather quickly. Heating up snacks or quick meals may result in spill-overs or splatter. To cut down on cleaning time, stack several paper towels on the turntable. Should a spill occur, simply discard the top paper towel for an easy clean-up. * Switch your soap. Glycerin or liquid soaps do not have traditional binders that are in many bar soaps. Without the binders, which are the primary cause of soap scum, you will have to contend with much less soap scum in showers and sinks.

To further cut down on soap scum, use a small, flexible squeegee to wipe down tile walls and glass doors after each shower. * Work from the top down. Dust and dirt settles at the lowest levels. Avoid messing up what you have just cleaned by begin-

Brett Young Seeds Rycroft, Alberta

WW1322

Brett Young Seeds is a privately owned and trusted seed and biological production, distribution, sales and marketing company with international reach and strong local roots since 1934. Our goal is to deliver value to our customers through world class service and differentiated products. Based in Winnipeg, we have locations throughout Western Canada and are currently seeking dynamic and experienced individuals to join our Rycroft, Alberta team to support our continued growth.

Facility General Manager We are seeking a motivated professional to oversee and direct all operations at our Rycroft facility, responsible for high level planning in terms of budgets, administration, scheduling and operations. This position also includes a seed purchasing function in the Peace Region that works closely with the Production Team to build relationships, procure acres for forage and turf seed and coordinate the scheduling of deliveries as per production requirements.

The ideal candidate will have experience and knowledge of seed industry quality standards with an understanding of the certification required by all regulatory authorities.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this position will conduct regular review and follow-up of facility financial statements, market analysis, forecasting and performance tracking in the region.

Post-secondary education in business or agriculture are required for this position with a minimum five years experience in an equivalent position in the agriculture or seed industry, with progressive experience managing people and building relationships. License for Approved Conditioner Operator, Authorized Exporter Operator and accreditation for Grader is an asset.

Seed Production Specialist We are seeking a relationship-oriented sales professional with a passion for agronomy.

You will work with the Production Team to seek out and secure seed production acres for forage and turf seed to achieve company seed production targets and then work with these contract growers on production agronomics to help ensure yields and seed quality are maximized.

This position also includes a seed purchasing function in the Peace Region that works closely with the Production Team to build relationships, procure acres and coordinate the scheduling of deliveries as per production requirements to achieve territory and corporate goals. Thus, success in this position will be achieved through a balance of sales and agronomy. You will work independently within your territory from the Rycroft facility/your home-based office; you will also work with Regional Account Managers in our Seed and Crop Inputs (Retail) division that operate in your territory to help identify potential contract growers.

The successful candidate will have a proven ability to plan and manage his/her time effectively and have strong communication skills both internally and externally to promote, support and grow our Seed Production division. Brett Young provides sales and product training, however, education, training and experience in sales and/or agronomy is a definite asset and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture is preferred Brett Young Seeds is an organization that supports professional growth and development and offers an attractive compensation package including salary and an outstanding and comprehensive benefits package. Brett Young Seeds is an Equal Opportunity employer.

Interested applicants are invited to apply to become a part of our team by submitting a letter of interest with salary expectations and a resume to: Human Resources, Brett Young Seeds Fax: 204-478-8370 Email: Human.Resources@brettyoung.ca

ning any cleaning task high up and moving downward. Therefore, dust shelves and cobwebs from ceiling corners first, then tackle tables and other surfaces before ultimately cleaning the floors. * Concentrate on one room at a time.

Some people suffer from cleaning attention deficit disorder. This means they’ll begin one task and then go into another room for something and start a new task, and so on. Focus on one room at a time to save time. You will do a more thorough job with less frustration. * Establish a drop zone. Foyers tend to accumulate a lot of clutter. Organize the space so you’re less tempted to drop items as soon as you come in. Keep the recycling bin (or shredder) handy for dealing with junk mail. Have a coat rack for hats, coats and umbrellas. Keep a basket available so you can transport items that belong in other rooms in the house. * Do laundry every day. Invest in a hamper that enables you to sort clothing into different compartments, including lights, darks and delicates. This way the sorting is already done when it comes time for washing. Then aim to do a load a day so that you’re not faced with 100 pounds of laundry come the weekend. * Rely on baking soda and vinegar as cleaning products. These kitchen staples are the workhorses of many cleaning projects. A mix of baking soda and vinegar can dislodge a clogged drain and be added to a wash to freshen towels and linens. A paste of baking soda can often scour tough stains, like marker, while vinegar has been known to neutralize pet odors from accidents. * Think outside the box. A can of Coca-

Saving vacuuming for last means you won’t be cleaning dust that settled while dusting or wiping down items twice.

Cola can be effective at cleaning the ring in the toilet. An unsweetened package of Kool-Aid brand lemonade can be used to freshen and clean an empty dishwasher.

The citric acid will scour the inside and get rid of any scaling or hard water stains.

Cleaning is a task that may not be enjoyable, but it is a necessary evil of healthy living. Keeping on top of the mess can save time in the long run. EL136202

REAL ESTATE

LAND FOR SALE

We have recently completed a very successful sale of our farmland to Freshwater Holdings. From the first point of contact, and throughout the sale process Freshwater Holdings was always in touch with us to make sure that all was going as discussed. Doug Rue (Freshwater Holdings), has been very approachable and forthright from the beginning. There was never any pressure, nor unfair dealings during the process. The deal was handled very smoothly and efficiently. When an issue arose, Doug was always in contact to help work out the situation fairly for all parties. We certainly would recommend dealing with Freshwater Holdings for any land discussions, and/or sale.
