Sask sees crime decrease; high rural crime rates

By Becky Zimmer Editor Statistics Canada recently released their report of police-reported crime in 2017 on July 23.

Saskatchewan was one of four provinces that saw a decrease in their Crime Severity Index; “a measure of police-reported crime that reflects the rela-

tive seriousness of individual offences and tracks changes in crime severity,” according to Statistics Canada.

In Canada overall, 1.9 million criminal code incidents were reported to police, nearly 45,300 more than in 2016, says the Statistics Canada report.

Six provinces saw

increased crime rates, including Nova Scotia (six per cent), Alberta (five per cent), Ontario (five per cent), Manitoba (three per cent) and Quebec (two per cent).

Besides Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador (nine per cent), Prince Edward Island (seven per cent), and British Columbia

(five per cent) all saw decreases.

Half of Canada’s metropolitan areas saw increases in crime in their jurisdictions, however, Regina was one of the top three communities that saw a decrease in crime with an 11 per cent fall. St. John’s (15 per cent) and Vancouver SEE CRIME ON PAGE 2

(six per cent) were with Regina in seeing falls in severe crime.

On a per capita basis, rural crime rates are still higher than urban crime rates with 21 per cent of crimes committed in rural areas, with half of rural crime being committed in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

Only a quarter of the prairie population is being served by rural police services. In 2017, “relatively high rural crime rates were reported in Manitoba

in urban areas (6,581 versus 5,082 incidents per 100,000 population),” said the report.

This has been a similar trend since 2009, however, in 2017, rural crime rates decreased by

one per cent while urban rates increased by two per cent.

High rates of property crime was the cause of high crime rates in Alberta while Saskatchewan and

(42 per cent higher than the province’s urban crime rate), Alberta (38 per cent higher) and Saskatchewan (36 per cent higher),” reported Statistics Canada.

“Police in rural areas

reported 25 per cent of violent crime, 18 per cent of property crime and 24 per cent of other Criminal Code offences in Canada. The crime rate in rural areas was 30 per cent higher than

Manitoba had high rates of all types of crime; like violent and property.

Firearm crime is on the rise throughout the country, especially in metropolitan areas. Over 2,734 firearm-specific violent offences were reported in 2017 with 7,700 victims involved in crimes that included firearms.

Saskatchewan has seen a 47 per cent increase in firearm-specific violent offences, the highest increase among the provinces.

I m p a i re d d r i v i n g has decreased across the country with 69,000 cases reported in 2017, 2,200 fewer than 2016.

Crops continue to develop rapidly in the region thanks to the hot weather. Desiccation of pulses is underway in some areas and many producers expect to be in the field earlier than normal. Most crops remain in relatively good condition, although they have been affected by lack of moisture and hot temperatures. Producers have indicated that yields will be about average overall; however, there will likely be some crops in drier areas that may yield much less than expected.

Small amounts of rainfall were reported in the region, although the majority of producers received nothing. The Yorkton area reported 14 mm of rain, the Ituna and Langenburg areas 2 mm, the Kelvington and Pelly areas 12 mm and the Humboldt area 9 mm.

The Langenburg area has received the most precipitation (388 mm) in the region since April 1. A

significant rain is needed to help later-seeded crops fill and to replenish topsoil moisture.

The recent hot and dry weather has caused topsoil moisture conditions to deteriorate across the region. Topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 41 per cent adequate, 39 per cent short and 20 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 26 per cent adequate, 43 percent short and 31 per cent very short. Crop District 6A is reporting that 34 per cent of the cropland and 55 per cent of the hay land and pasture are very short topsoil moisture at this time.

Most crop damage this past week is attributed to strong winds, lack of moisture and hot temperatures. Haying operations are wrapping up and yields are lower than normal. Pasture conditions are rated as one per cent excellent, 16 per cent good, 34 per cent fair, 32 per cent poor and 17 per cent very poor.

Producers are busy getting ready for har-

vest, finishing haying and scouting fields.

NORTHEASTERN SASKATCHEWAN Crops continue to quickly advance in the area, thanks to the recent warm weather. Most crops are in good to excellent condition, but some have been affected by lack of moisture and hot temperatures. Producers have indicated that yields will be about average overall; however, there are many areas that expect yields to be above average.

Much of the region received very little rainfall this past week. The Porcupine Plain area received 9 mm of rain, the Arborfield area 22 mm, the Nipawin area 14 mm, the Vonda area 3 mm and the Melfort and Prince Albert areas 5 mm. The Arborfield area has received the most precipitation (298 mm) in the region since April 1. The region could use a significant rain to help fill heads and pods and replenish topsoil moisture.

Topsoil moisture con-

ditions have slightly deteriorated in the region since last week. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 78 per cent adequate, 21 per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 85 per cent adequate, 12 per cent short and three per cent very short. Crop District 8B is reporting that 13 per cent of the hay land and pasture is very short topsoil moisture at this time.

Most crop damage last week was attributed to lack of moisture, high temperatures and strong winds. Haying is wrapping up for many producers and yields are average to below average overall.

Pasture conditions are currently rated as four per cent excellent, 65 per cent good, 23 per cent fair and eight per cent poor.

Producers are busy haying, scouting for pests and getting ready for harvest.

Sask Health comments on salmonella at Hogfest

By Becky Zimmer Editor The Saskatchewan Health Authority says Englefeld is the link between 11 recent cases of Saskatchewan salmonella. A press release on July 20 announced that the authority is investigating the cases with all 11 people participating in the June 29 roasted pig meal at Englefeld’s annual Hogfest.

D r. S i m o n K a p a j , Deputy Medical Health Officer in Saskatoon,

says they have not narrowed down the specific food that caused the outbreak but the majority of patients were sick one to three days after consuming the food with family members showing the same symptoms shortly after.

This is a learning experience for food handlers and event organizers, says Kapaj, with the authority providing additional training for Hogfest organizers.

“We’re working with the event organizers and the municipality to provide more education and training to the event organizers and food handlers for the future; just to make sure handwashing is practiced consistently as well as the food is cooked at the appropriate temperatures,” says Kapaj.

This was a large event with 750 meals being served during the supper.

These increases have led to provincial organizations, such as SUMA, SARM, Saskatchewan Justice, and corrections joining the conversation, says Zurevinsky.

They want groups to be established so soon there should be a provincial umbrella to provide groups with more support, he says.

“As many groups as we can get into the

program; building that vigilance, getting the word out, is going to be immense.”

Zurevinsky has seen firsthand the benefits of having watch groups established in Saskatchewan, especially in the RM of Edenwold, which includes Balgonie.

They have seen significant decreases in crime since the creation of their group because of their

CANNABIS STATISTICS

Different stories told with two related surveys

By Becky Zimmer Editor Cannabis offences are on the decline according to the Statistics Canada’s latest police reported crime statistics released on July 23. However, another report recently released

by Statistics Canada tell a different story about cannabis use in Canada.

Canadian police services reported 90,000 drug related offenses in 2017 with over half of these offenses being related to cannabis in 48,000 cases.

This is down 15 per cent from 2016 rates with 8,000 less cases than reported in 2016.

Only five per cent of impaired driving offenses in Canada in 2017 were related to drug use, which is a 10 per

cent increase since 2016.

However, Statistics Canada does not break that number down any further to the kinds of drugs involved.

Statistics Canada released the National Cannabis Survey for the second quarter of 2018 on Aug. 9 which included 7,285 respondents self-reporting on their cannabis use.

With the responses available, Statistics Canada reports that “14% of cannabis users with a valid driver ’s license reported driving within two hours of using cannabis.

Males were nearly two times more likely than females to report this behaviour.”

From 2009-2017, the number of police-reported drug-related-

driving incidents have d o u b l e d , h o w e v e r, Statistics Canada noted the increase, “may reflect improvements in detection and more complete police reporting, rather than an increase in the frequency of such incidents.”

As of the second quarter of 2018, 16 per cent of Canadians reported using Cannabis in the last three months with Nova Scotians (21 per cent) and Ontarians (18 per cent) being the more frequent users.

Quebecois (11 per cent) and Saskatchewan (10 per cent) people were the lowest users.

Of the respondents, 82 per cent said they are not likely to try cannabis or increase consumption of cannabis with legalization in October 2018.

signage and the advertising of security cameras, says Zurevinsky For Humboldt, their group is on the right track, he says.

“If you have an organization already vigilant and watching out for each other, it’s going to be emmense for the police to have that information come forward when things happen.”

Noting suspicious activity can mean a lot in

terms of keeping people aware of what is going on, building a case against a suspect, as well as helping the RCMP track hot spots and shifting trends in criminal activity in Saskatchewan, he says.

Rural RCMP are already behind the creation of the group.

Especially considering the problems in recent years with encounters on rural properties, Zurevinsky says the

group is not a vigilante organization but one where farmers can better communicate with their neighbours on what is going on in their area.

Lueke’s nearest neighbour is around four miles away, he says, but if there is something going on, they can easily get on their rural watch site and let each other know of suspicious activity.

“It’s easier for people to go into yards when you don’t have people around. We have to get more awareness so people are watching other yards. We’re losing neighbours out there.”

If someone is on their property, Zurevinsky encourages people to phone 911 and get as many pictures of the suspects as possible to get out to the rural crime watch site and the Saskatchewan RCMP. Cst. Geoff Applegate with the Humboldt RCMP hopes the Humboldt group is a catalyst for other RMs in the area, he says, but he still urges people to report crimes to the RCMP. “We just urge the public to report any suspicious activity they see and if they are a victim of a crime to make sure to report to their office, even if they think it’s something small.”

Stewart steps down as agriculture minister

Stewart was diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will be undergoing months of aggressive treatment.

He will remain as MLA for LumdenMorse, however Premier Scott Moe will soon be naming a new minister to take over the position.

By Becky Zimmer Editor As a landowner, RM of Humboldt councillor, Dennis Lueke, knows that he and his followneighbours are nervous about leaving tractors and equipment out in their fields.

We d o n o t h a v e a big problem in the Humboldt area, he says, but a group has gotten together to get ahead of the problem with the start of the Rural Crime Watch 370 group.

Members met on Aug. 9 to iron out some more details of the group, including membership rates and signage availability. A public meeting will be held sometime in the fall, however details are yet to be finalized.

Corporal Mel Zurevinsky was also in attendance for the meeting and has already been involved in starting watch groups across Saskatchewan.

In the spring of 2017 there were only eight groups in operation, he says. Now there are close to 100.

“From January to May of this year, I was putting on five to six thousand kilometers on a month going anywhere and everywhere that wanted to hear me..the program is snowballing

– MLA Lyle Stewart rent circumstances, I didn’t feel I would be able to give that position the attention it deserved, so I have asked Premier Moe to appoint a new Minister,” said Stewart in a recent government press release.

Moe said his first concern is for Stewart’s health.

“First and foremost,

Lyle Stewart is my friend, so the most important thing is for him to deal with his cancer,” Moe said. “Everything e l s e i s s e c o n d a r y.

Lyle has been a great Agriculture Minister and I want to thank him for everything he has done for the ag industry in our province.”

Tom Brady can’t wait for the NFL season to start because:

Johnny Manziel wears No. 2 with the Montreal Alouettes because: 1. He’s getting a second chance at pro football after bombing out in the NFL 2. He’s on his second team in the Canadian Football League 3. It represents the total number of Canadians who have no idea who he is.

L.A. hoops fans expect an NBA team with only one player can win a league championship • RJ Currie of sportsd e k e . c o m : “ H a rd t o b e lieve Halifax’s proposed CFL team considered the name Explosion, after that province’s worst disaster.

Speaking of provincial disasters, it’s 28 years since

the Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup.” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Swimmer Ryan Lochte has been banned for a year after posting a picture of himself getting an illegal intravenous shot. The number of Olympic medals Ryan has is 12. The exact same number of his IQ score.”

• RJ Currie again: “Rangers pitcher Bartolo Colon will likely end the season as Latin America’s winningest pitcher. With that waistline, it’s clear he’s had no trouble finding the plate.”

• Seth Meyers on NBC: “The New York Mets suffered their worst loss in franchise history last night losing to the Washington Nationals 25-4.

It was so bad that even the ceremonial first pitch was hit for a triple.”

• Dwight Perry again: “Death Valley, Calif., recorded the hottest month on record, with an average of 108 degrees in July. Though Urban Meyer’s seat at Ohio State is already threatening to break it.”

Government barriers make ag industry tougher In this space it has often been suggested one of the biggest challenges for farmers in terms of making a profit is maneuvering through the varied roadblocks created in the marketplace by government.

Of late the disruptions have generally been the result of the loose cannon American president Donald Trump, but other countries are getting involved in creating barriers largely based on creating trade barriers rather than because of good science or food safety reasons.

For example, a Brazilian judge recently suspended the use of products containing glyphosate, a herbicide widely employed for soybeans and other

Calvin Daniels crops in the country, as well as in countries such as Canada where most canola is resistant to the herbicide.

The federal judge ru l e d n e w p ro d u c t s containing the chemical could not be registered in the country and existing registrations would be suspended within the next 30 days until the government re-eval-

uates their toxicity.

Glyphosate has been studied extensively since its discovery in 1970, and while there is a general distrust of science growing in the world, it is not likely the Brazilian government is going to discover anything new.

The government can still make a ruling that might ban the herbicide, but it would not be one made based on the best science of the day, but rather on suspect interpretation of the science, if not outright fear of it.

The ruling particularly affects Monsanto, which markets a glyphosate-resistant, genetically modified type of soybean that is planted on a large scale in Brazil, correspond-

ing in general terms to much of the canola grown in Canada.

With canola so reliant of glyphosate usage, the final Brazilian decision, after what will no doubt be protracted court challenges, could have a ripple effect on canola here in Canada.

And then there is the spat happening between Canada and Saudi Arabia, stemming from Canada refusing to back down in its defence of human rights.

The record of human rights in Saudi Arabia is a rather dismal one, a record which would be publicly deplored far more if the country wasn’t sitting on an ocean of oil the rest of the world needs. That reality has most world

leaders turning a blind eye to any issue surrounding the Saudis as a way to ensure oil exports flow.

“Saudi Arabia has a criminal justice system based on a hardline and literal form of Shari’ah law reflecting a particular state-sanctioned interpretation of Islam,” notes Wikipedia.

“It is usually carried out publicly by beheading with a sword. A recent report by the European Saudi Organization for Human Rights (ESOHR) shows that the number of beheadings in the kingdom during the first quarter of 2018 rose by over 70 percent compared to the same period last year.”

Saudi Arabia has frozen new trade and investment and expelled the Canadian ambassador in retaliatory measures after Ottawa’s call to free arrested Saudi civil society activists.

And the trade cuts are hitting agriculture.

Saudi Arabia’s main state wheat buying agency has informed grains exporters it will no longer buy Canadian wheat and barley, and it appears forage sales for livestock feed may be impacted too.

Again, the free flow of goods based on supply, demand, and price, cornerstones of organized trade are abandoned for political reasons which impact farmers here.

SPORTS Young Red Sox lineup improves throughout year

By Christopher Lee Reporter It may not have been the end of the season the Muenster Midget AAA Red Sox were looking for, but the club showcased plenty of promise for the future in a rebuilding year for the club.

“We had a young team compared to the last few years so from game one to the end of the year it was a vast improvement throughout the year. So overall I was happy with the year,” said Red Sox coach Chad Hofmann.

After losing all but five players to graduation over the offseason, the Red Sox brought a significantly younger squad to the table to begin 2018, with just four regular third years on the roster.

The youthfulness of the club showed through the early part of the season, as the Red Sox opened the year with a win before losing seven of their next eight.

By the end of May, the Red Sox were sitting with a record of just 3-8.

Froehlich is one of the returning members of the Red Sox for the 2019 season. photo by Christopher Lee “There were very few kids who were holdovers from the previous year and we had lots of first year players as well as some other guys who haven’t played at that level before. So it took a while for them to get used to it,” said

Hofmann.

With the club gaining experience with every contest, the young Red Sox began turning their season around in June winning their first two contests, and wrapping up the month 5-4.

Muenster continued

their season turnaround over the final month of the season, as the Red Sox posted a 6-4 record in July, bringing the club’s final regular season record to 14-16.

The overall record left the Red Sox as the league’s sixth seed.

With the club improving as the season wore on Hofmann says heading into provincials the team’s goal was to play on Sunday, the final day of the three-day provincial tournament.

After a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the eventual provincial champion Saskatoon Cubs, the Red Sox rebounded to beat the second seeded Regina White Sox, and knock off the Swift Current 57s in comeback fashion.

Thanks to their 2-1 record, the Red Sox wrapped up the round robin in a tie with the White Sox and Cubs.

The Cubs, thanks to a tiebreaker, were given the top seed in the pool, while the White Sox and Red Sox were left to battle for the final spot in the semi-finals.

Unfortunately for the Red Sox one bad inning ended their season as they fell 17-7 to the White Sox.

Despite the loss, Hofmann says reflecting on their weekend, he is very pleased with their effort.

“Looking back if we would have ended up winning (against the Cubs) we would have avoided all tiebreakers and we would have had all of our pitching for Sunday. You never know what would have happened,” lamented Hofmann.

With the season now complete, the Red Sox head into an offseason where they will see five players including Rylan Marianchuk, Drew Bauml, Carter Burkart, Nicholas Silcox and Tyler McWillie, all age out of midget baseball.

The Red Sox gained valuable experience this season, particularly with their run to the provincial tiebreaking game, and Hofmann says that experience will serve crucial as the club heads into next season.

“One-year experience is huge. There’s very few players in the four years I’ve been involved with coaching in this league… where a first year player is really a major impact player. There’s only been a handful of kids do that over those number of

years,” he said.

“They might be a little bit younger again next year... but they’re going to be just fine.”

Heading into the offseason, Hofmann said one of the aspects of their game he would like to see improved is their defensive effort, where the club struggled at times this season.

“Pitching and defense wins so many championships or keeps you in games. Defensively we had some times where we had some mistakes... there’s plenty of errors in the game so you just try to make as few mistakes as possible. Sometimes it doesn’t work that way but… you have to keep working at it and more reps will make things better.”

After another season of Red Sox baseball, Hofmann would once again like to thank the parents and players for their commitment throughout the season.

“They did a fantastic job with it. It was a really fun group to coach.

It was a different group because some of them I’ve never coached before and it took some time but they got along really well with each other.”

Merchants close regular season on high note

By Christopher Lee Reporter After a slow start to the season the Bruno Merchants are turning their fortunes around after the club picked up a doubleheader sweep over the Saskatoon Tint Center Cubs on Aug. 8 in Saskatoon.

The Merchants, who opened their season with four straight losses and losses in five of six, have won six of their last eight games, posting a record of 6-11 over that time.

The boys from Bruno kicked off their doubleheader on an offensive high note as the club pounded out 11 runs in a dominating 11-4 win.

After a short break, the Merchants returned to the field.

BLOCK: Adeline October 12, 1936 - July 31, 2018 Adeline Block of Humboldt, SK passed away on Tuesday, July 31, at the Humboldt District Hospital. She was 81 years of age. Adeline Adelma Teske was born to Gottfried and Helen (nee Harmel) Teske on October 12, 1936 south of Esk, SK. where her family farmed. Eight years later her sister Diane was born and Adeline became a big sister. Adeline received Christ as her personal Saviour at 7 years of age when her Aunt Adelma Chattfield came to visit. Her faith in the Lord continued to grow over the years until the time of her death. Interestingly enough, music became such a big part of Adeline’s life at a very young age. Adeline’s father, Gottfried Teske loved music and played in the church band himself. In January 1943, he borrowed money to purchase a piano for Adeline at 8 years of age. Gottfried went to Saskatoon to buy this piano and then had it shipped by train to Esk. Adeline remembers it was all of -30F the day he picked it up with the large open bob s l e i g h .

H e h a d s e v e r a l m e n w i t h h i m b e c a u s e o f t h e l a rg e s n ow d r i ft s ove r t h e ro a d s t h a t m i g h t t i p the sleigh and the heavy piano. That fall Adeline began piano lessons with Miss Vera Schopp and usually Vera Wildeman would travel with her. What a tremendous remembrance of her dad who died tragically in a car/train accident two years later. He likely never imagined what a gift this would be and how big music would be in Adeline’s life. Adeline enjoyed playing that same piano right up until 2 years ago when she gave it to her daughter Connie. Adeline’s mom got remarried to Adolph Winslow in 1948 (2 years after her dad’s death). Together Helen and Adolph had two more children, Marlene and Betty Lu. Adeline was so proud of all her sisters and loved them dearly and cherished her visits with them. As a teenager, Adeline met the love of her life, Walter Block and together they enjoyed playing in the church orchestra where Walter played the guitar and Adeline the mandolin or banjo which was about the time when their courtship days started. No surprise their home and lives would be filled with music until this day! Adeline married Walter Block on October 12, 1955. The ceremony was held in the Baptist church in Jansen, which was moved from Esk, and was still sitting on blocks, so it was necessary to have the reception and program in the north Jansen church, one-half mile from the Illinois school, which ended up being where their homestead would eventually be. When Walter and Adeline were first married they lived in a log and clay house, which had been moved there many years earlier by Walter’s parents. Their home had no electricity or cistern for water. They ended up getting a phone one year later! They were able to use the radio when they bought a battery pack, which was usually before Christmas, and if used sparingly, lasted until March. In the summertime, they would drive their half ton truck near the door and listen to the radio that way. They lived in this home for four years. Walter and Adeline enjoyed singing together to pass the long winter evenings. Walter would accompany them on his guitar and on occasion, they sang in church. In August 1959 they purchased a quarter section from Wm Schindel, and moved in November. Walter and Adeline really thought they had it made now as they had a 1 1/2 story home, with a windmill to pump the water for the cattle and a hip-roofed barn! They farmed together side by side and always had cattle, hogs, chickens and of course, a very large garden! The first thing they bought, even before they moved into their new home, was the largest deep freeze they could buy and that fall, Adeline put all the vegetables into their very own freezer! No more taking freezer items over to her mom’s deep freeze. Walter and Adeline welcomed Donavon Grant as their first born on February 20, 1960 and then on October 21, 1962, Harlan Dallas was born. In 1964, Walter bought an accordion for Adeline and after some hours of practice, they were singing duets with their own accompaniment! Connie Lee completed their family when she was born on March 31, 1968. In December 1971, Walter and Adeline purchased the farm house from Walter’s parents and now they too had running water! That winter Walter bought their first electric organ and Adeline has had many hours of enjoyment from it. Music has been such a big part of Walter and Adeline’s family and together their family of five sang sacred music at various functions. Years later, Walter, Donavon, Harlan and Jack Robson (a wonderful family friend) joined together to form a men’s quartet, affectionately called, “Jack and the Blocks�. Adeline, of course accompanied beautifully on the piano as they sang the old Southern Gospel music in many places. Walter and Adeline have many cherished memories of friends stopping in and having company over many Sundays for a wonderful meal. Their legacy will certainly be one of faith in their God, hospitality to everyone who entered their home, and a love for music and using that talent for the Lord. In 2008 Walter and Adeline would have one of the biggest changes in their lives. A realtor knocked on their door and said he was there to purchase their land for BHP Billiton for the potash mine project. As a result they sold most of their land and relocated to Humboldt, SK. Looking back over the years, Walter and Adeline are amazed at how the Lord has blessed them and their family! God is good! Adeline is survived by her loving husband Walter of 62 years; son Donavon (Pearl) Block and family, Whitney and her daughter Riley, Cody (Kim) and their children Emmett and Owen, Matthew (Jackie) and their children Ryder and Trigg; son Harlan (Heather) Block and family, Janelle (Stephen Martin) and their two sons Kaiden and Kyler, Chris and his daughter Sommer, Dryden (Stefani); daughter Connie (Steven Wiebe) and their son, Ryan. She is also survived by her three sisters, Diane (Earl) Lissel, Marlene (Kent) Lee and Betty Lu Winslow; sisters-in-law, Scarlett Block and Edna (Dallas) Langenberger. Adeline was predeceased by her parents Gottfried and Helen (nee Harmel) Teske; step dad Adolph Winslow; in-laws Adolph and Natalia Block; brothers-in-law, Craig Vickaryous and Gordon Block; and nephew Ricky Block. A Funeral Service was held on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 at the Humboldt Bible Church, Humboldt, SK at 1:00 p.m., officiated by Pastor Sean Brandow. Others taking part were: Melba Durston, pianist; Chris Block and Dave and Marlene Pollock, special music; children and grandchildren, tributes; Donavon Block, eulogist. Active pallbearers were her grandsons: Chris Block, Cody Block, Dryden Block, Matthew Block, Ryan Wiebe, and Stephen Martin. Interment followed at Esk South Cemetery, Esk, SK.

ZIMMERMAN: William Dec. 3, 1941 - Aug. 6, 2018 It is with profound sadness that the family of William “Willie” Zimmerman of Saskatoon, SK, (and formerly of St. Gregor, SK, and Englefeld, SK), announces his sudden and unexpected passing on Monday, August 6, 2018, at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK. He was 76 years of age. Willie, the second oldest of 11 children, was born to John and Mary (nee Bunz) Zimmerman in Rose Valley, SK, on December 3, 1941.

T h e fa m i ly re s i d e d a t G re e nwa ter Lake for five years. Then, in April of 1946, John, Mary, and the children moved to the family farm in St. Gregor. Two years later John built a new home for his growing family, not far from the original family farm. Willie grew up and attended school in St. Gregor. On April 24, 1965, he married Gwen Hohmann. The couple made their home in St. Gregor for the following five years. Their marriage was blessed with four children: Michele in 1966, followed by Darren in 1967, Lyn in 1969, and Leah in 1979. Willie and Gwen moved to Englefeld in 1970 where they spent their lives together until her passing in August of 2012.

Shortly after, Willie moved in with his daughter and son-in-law, Leah and Jesse Korte and their family in Saskatoon. Over the years, Willie held numerous jobs. Right out of school he worked for farmers, then at Meschishnick’s Machine Shop, he was a local livestock hauler, and then was employed on a road construction crew. Eventually, he settled in at Schulte Industries as a long-haul truck driver and then as the maintenance man. Willie retired in 2013 after a total of 38 years of service with Schulte Industries. Willie had numerous hobbies and interests throughout his life, including hockey, fastball, baseball, fishing, waterskiing, golf, and spending time at the cabin. His greatest love was attending his grandchildren’s various activities, along with spending time with family and friends. Willie will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his four children, eight grandchildren and two great- grandchildren: Michele King (Kirk Angus) and her family, Sarah King (Peter) and their daughters Raya and Maicy, and Larissa King (Mason); Darren (Sherry) Zimmerman and daughter Amanda Zimmerman (Schalk); Lyn (Donna) Zimmerman and family, Kelly Miskolczi (Blair), and Ryley Zimmerman; Leah (Jesse) Korte and family, Jeter, Alida, and Ava Korte; five brothers: Dave (Leona) Zimmerman, Roman (Carol) Zimmerman, Pat (Audrey) Zimmerman, John (Diane) Zimmerman, and Ben (Donna) Zimmerman; five sisters: Marieanne (Karl) Lehto, Bernie Stroeder, Teresa Gabriel, Barb Duley, and Helen Klassen; and by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Willie was predeceased by his loving wife, Gwen (nee Hohmann) Zimmerman; son-in-law, Bruce King; parents, John and Mary (nee Bunz) Zimmerman; father-in-law, Theodore Hohmann; motherin-law, Josephine (nee Delainey) Hohmann; and by numerous brothers-and-sisters-in-law. The Prayer Service for Willie was held at Holy Guardian Angels R.C. Church, Englefeld, on Friday, August 10, 2018, at 7:30 p.m., presided by Marie ven der Buhs and Audrey Zimmerman. Scripture readers were Sarah King and Amanda Zimmerman, and the eulogy was delivered by Darren Zimmerman and Michele King. The organist was Sandra Athmer. The Funeral Mass was offered at Holy Guardian Angels R.C. Church on Saturday, August 11, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Francis Akomeah with concelebrant Fr. Daniel Muyres, OSB.

Alex was born on July 17, 1917 at Buchannan, SK into a family of n i n e c h i l d re n . H e wa s t h e youngest son and seventh child of Russian immigrants Aleksay ( A l ex ) Ko n k i n a n d M a s h a (Mary) Hritchen. In 1918, the family moved to a farm 6 miles north east of Watson and Alex attended nearby Daisy School.

Alex received his accounting diploma from Saskatoon Business College in May of 1938 and married Anne Sheloff on February 28, 1940. Alex worked at many and varied jobs across Canada including the Federal Government in Ottawa, Oil Industry in Alberta, railroads and orchards of BC and Federated CO-OP in Saskatchewan. In 1956 he left Calgary to settle back in Watson, bought an acreage a half mile east of town and resumed to farm the home place. It was at this time that Alex started his own public accounting/income tax filing business to supplement the farming income. He kept accounting records for several businesses in Watson over the years and filed income taxes for over 250 clients from the Watson area. In 1977, Alex sold the farm land but kept on working at his accounting practice until 1994. Alex and Anne enjoyed visiting with their children and grandchildren, motorhome trips, gardening on their acreage, playing cards with friends and neighbors, going to bingos near and far and many bus trips to Reno, NV and casino resorts in the northern USA. Alex was involved with community organizations and his sons’ activities. He was the statistician for town league hockey in the 60’s and as secretary/treasurer for the Watson Band, McNabb Regional Park, New Horizons and Watson Public Cemetery.

Alex was a member and leader of the Doukhobor community in Watson. After Anne passed away on July 28, 2000, Alex sold the acreage and moved into town. In June of 2008 Alex moved to Nanaimo, BC. He resided in an assisted living facility until 2016 when it became necessary for him to enter Long Term Care. Always happy, always healthy, Alex will be remembered by many as a kind and gentle soul and for his meticulous work as an accountant. Alex was predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Anne; his parents Alex and Mary; sisters Polly, Annie, Dora, Mary, Mabel and Florence; brothers John and George. He is survived by his four sons, daughters-in-law, six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Bill of Penticton, son Sean, his children Alexandra and Emma; Fred of Calgary, son Bernie; Patrick (Joyce) of Nanaimo, daughters Natasha and Elena (Curt); Sandy (Marianne) of Nanaimo, daughter Lacey (Mike), their children Benjamin, Isaac, Desmond and son Tyson (Megan); as well as numerous nephews and nieces. Many thanks to the Town of Watson for providing a home and community for his family over the years and to the staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village in Nanaimo for their loving care, patience and devoted kindness during his years there. A funeral service was held at 2:00 PM on Sunday August 12, 2018 at Watson New Horizons, Watson, SK. Interment followed at Watson Public Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Watson Public Cemetery Fund. Arrangements were entrusted to Malinoski and Danyluik Funeral Home 306-682-1622 In Memoriam

Journalism and agriculture: bridging two worlds #Z #FDLZ ;JNNFS t &BTU $FOUSBM 5SBEFS &EJUPS

When asked where people get their agricultural information, respondents of the Canadian Agricultural Awareness Baseline Survey overwhelmingly said the internet was their main source.

However, when trust was factored in, farmers and ranchers and their families topped the list.

Farmers themselves were considered to provide information with the highest level of trustworthiness, said

91 per cent of respondents, followed by family at 86 per cent.

Also high on the list of trustworthy sources were scientists and researchers (86 per cent) and Agriculture and Agri-food Canada (85 per cent).

We live in changing times, and people are wondering where to turn for good information, said Owen Roberts, president of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) and director of research communications at the University of Guelph.

“People are turning to more established sources of information – that might be newspapers, universities, commodity groups – who have credibility, because they’re putting forward research-based stories.”

The farmers, ranchers and their families who are among the most trustworthy sources of information are exactly the people farm media wants to give a voice to, Roberts said.

Agriculture journalism has changed in the last few decades, he added, and the agriculture beat has in many cases been consumed by the food beat. At the same time, in many organizations those stories are being handled by general reporters.

Food writers seem to be taking over the role quite well, Roberts said.

“Those food writers are trying to understand what’s going on before food gets to the plate,” he said. “That is always the difference – how well a reporter

thing that’s a little bit deeper.”

For Roberts, bridging the gap between consumers and the agricultural world is a focus of his job.

Recently, he was the author of a series of agriculture stories in the Toronto Star.

The farm community has something that reporters need, and that’s the depth of information about agriculture.

does their research on a particular product.”

Roberts said reporters are ensuring that their network includes farmers, which he sees as a positive trend.

“The farm community has something that reporters need, and that’s the depth of information about agriculture. That’s what readers, listeners and viewers want, is some-

That kind of focus is encouraging to other reporters, said Lisa Guenther, a freelance reporter and president of the Saskatchewan F a r m Wr i t e r ’ s Association (SFWA), a regional branch of the Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation (CFWF).

It shows that agriculture stories can reach a broader audience, she said.

Commodity organizations are also doing a fair job of getting their own stories out, said Guenther, and making those connections to the consumer.

On the world scale, Canada is a leader in agricultural reporting and connecting farmers and consumers.

Wi t h R o b e r t s a t the helm of the IFAJ, and freelance reporter Allison Finnamore involved as the Canadian IFAJ representative, Canadian journalists are getting more involved with media agriculture at an international level, said Guenther.

Finnamore said it can be surprising how many issues Canadian producers and consumers share with producers who are farming land on the other side of the globe.

“We’re all writing about climate change, farmers getting paid fair wages and getting a fair exchange for their work, animal welfare.

Every where around the globe, it’s common issues that we are all looking at and trying to do our best at telling those stories.”

2019 ALL CANADA SHEEP CLASSIC

Herding into Humboldt #Z #FDLZ ;JNNFS t &$5 &EJUPS

Saskatchewan Sheep Development has won the bid to host the 2019 All Canada Sheep Classic in Humboldt in July next year.

This follows three years of hosting the Grasslands Sheep Exhibition provincial event in Humboldt, which annually features a trade show, auction and breed shows.

The Grasslands Sheep Exhibit will be held alongside the All Canada Classic, which means a lot more space, producers and shows, says Gord Schroeder, executive director of the Saskatchewan Sheep Development Board.

Sheep breeders from across the province will be descending on Humboldt with their livestock.

The 2018 Canadian classic wrapped up in Truro, NS on July 7 with nearly 50 breeders coming from across the country, bringing about 200 head of sheep.

Every year is a little different, but about 85 breeders are expect-

ed at the Humboldt event, bringing about 300 head of sheep, said Kim MacDougall of the Canadian Sheep Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty well every province will have at least one set of sheep there from one farm,â&#x20AC;?

MacDougall said.

The trade show, which will be moved into the curling rink, will also be bigger next year, with more industry partners and bigger competitions including shearing and herding. New to the show is a shear-to-shawl contest, where teams will start by shearing wool from the sheep and then spin the wool and knit the final product.

With so much more happening, Schroeder said he hopes more of the public will come out to see what the sheep industry has to offer.

S h e e p p ro d u c e r s , along with other livestock producers across the country, are experiencing similar issues when it comes to healthy production. Concerns include droughts in

some areas that impact feed availability, says Schroeder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feed is going to be a challenge. Lots of people are expanding, but expansion will be slow because of the feed issue that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing this year.â&#x20AC;?

This is disappointing, he said. The sheep industry had been primed for an expansion, seeing more room to grow in Canadian markets.

We a t h e r a l w a y s plays a role as well, Schroeder said.

He said the trade show can help tell a positive story about the sheep industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to understand that [the animals] are part of producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; livelihoods,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all recognize it.

If you treat your animals well, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll produce well. Our producers are doing things right and they just need to tell their stories.â&#x20AC;?

Both Schroeder and MacDougall encourage everyone to come out to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show and see what todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheep industry looks like.

When rancher Dylan B i g g s w a s g ro w i n g up, herding cattle was stressful and could be upsetting for both the people and the livestock.

His father would end

up losing his temper, yelling at both the animals and his children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a time when I was about 18 when we were gathering about 300 pairs and we

were trying to put them into the corral. I thought to myself at that time, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be a better way to do this,â&#x20AC;? Biggs said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because if I have to spend the rest of my life working cattle like

this, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

That started Biggsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effort to find a new way to find a stress-free way to herd cattle.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be a better way ... because if I have to spend the rest of my life working cattle like this, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dylan Biggs, Rancher Dylan Biggs shows how to herd cattle in a stress-free manner at Ag in Motion on July 18.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

agricultural show outside of Saskatoon in July, the TK Ranch owner from near Hanna, Alta. showed vistors what he had learned.

The key is to consid-

er how cattle percieve the world. They have binocular vision and poor depth perception, meaning that the herder should walk to the side where the cattle can see them, Biggs said. That also means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good idea to stay in the cattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blind spot and try to get them to move from behind for a sustained period of time.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to not resort to constant pressure. If the cattle are moving the way you want them to, then reduce the pressure, Biggs said. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to scare the cattle by yelling at

them and waving your arms. Finally, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chase any cattle that run away. Instead, walk calmly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one thing that gets people into no end of trouble, is that if the cattle take off running the wrong way, that we chase after them and try to control upset behaviour. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the worst thing that we can do,â&#x20AC;? Biggs said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperative that the cattle arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the fight, upset, really scared of us. They need to be calm and relaxed.â&#x20AC;?

To make herding cattle lower stress, Biggs

said the first thing is getting them to move.

Once the herd is moving, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got its own interia and will keep moving.

Biggs advises walking to the side, where the lead cow can see you, and pushing the herd calmly in the direction you want them to go. If you want to stop, go to the front of the herd, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start to stop.

Biggs said the key is to read the herd dynamic in order to figure out where to be, when to be and how to be there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tailoring how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m moving around the herd based on what the cattle are telling me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m using them as a mirror more than [having] great understanding [about] what they are telling me, but the big thing is I want to make sure they stay calm and quiet, and that they stay responsive to what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking.â&#x20AC;?

Biggs said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that ranchers start thinking about how to handle their livestock in a manner thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe, stress-free and encourages the next generation to take up the family business.

A carbon credit system could provide the opportunity for Saskatchewan producers to make extra money and reduce carbon emissions by more efficiently using their resources.

Alberta has such a system, one that the Saskatchewan government is looking at as it tries to reduce carbon emissions by sequestering it into farmland.

B i l l D o rg a n w i t h Trimble helps producers in Alberta navigate the system. Presenting at the Ag in Motion outdoor farm expo, held in Saskatoon on July 19, he said every producer cares about doing their work in a sustainable manner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All farmers are environmentally sensitive,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they want to do everything they can to mitigate negative environmental impacts on their farm.â&#x20AC;?

For producers, participating in the carbon credit system is voluntary. As long as they can prove results, they will receive money based on how much

they reduce their carbon emissions.

In Canada, agricultural activity produces 75 megatons of carbon dioxide, about 10 per cent of total emissions in Canada.

As a comparison, electricity generation produces 85 megatons, while buildings generate 86 megatons.

On the farm, carbon emissions can be reduced by adopting zero-till, using less fertilizer by applying it in a more strategic manner and adding food additives into livestock feed so they process the food better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one of these [carbon reduction] protocols involved that farmers might uptake that would suggest anything but good agronomy,â&#x20AC;? Dorgan said.

Under the Alberta carbon credit system, a third party is engaged to perform an audit that ensures carbon is being reduced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not overly invasive to a farmer,â&#x20AC;? Dorgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like the guy from income tax is

coming to audit you.

Normally they want to look at your seeding equipment, your fertilizer application equipment.â&#x20AC;?

To prepare for the carbon credit system, which Dorgan said is planned to come to Saskatchewan by 2021, producers need to get a data management system on the farm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if they already donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a responsible, good producer in Saskatchewan, I want to make sure that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m using a proper data management system and then this can become an annual thing without a bunch of hassle,â&#x20AC;?

Dorgan said.

Dorgan said that since his company started helping Albertan producers with the carbon credit system in 2007, their clients have made $40 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brand new revenue stream. You have your revenue stream from your wheat or your canola, and you have your revenue stream from your carbon offsets.â&#x20AC;?

New grain storage tech improves monitoring #Z #FDLZ ;JNNFS t &$5 &EJUPS

Members of Humboldtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAMI office were at Ag in Motion outdoor farm expo, held in Saskatoon on July 19, to preview the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new storage sensor system that monitors grain spoilage.

The Mobile Sensor Mote was designed to help farmers simplify management of stored grain by helping them

understand whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening inside the bin, says David Yee, vicepresident of operations for Saskatchewan.

From grain spoilage to quality loss, improper storage can prove costly for producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grain monitoring is so important that the more tech there is available to producers, the better it is for all in-

C & S TRUCKING INC.

volved,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Joy Agnew, research scientist on the project.

The palm-sized sensor sends out real time data measuring humidity, temperature, air motion and moisture content.

This can give producers a picture of what is happening inside their bins, says Yee, but even more, data can be sourced from various locations throughout the bins.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I placed one sensor right in the middle of the bin, the sensor, or any other electronic device, only has a certain amount of effectiveness to a certain radius or diameter or area. What this thing is supposed to be is you can actually â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; your bin and you can put it in multiple locations in your bin.â&#x20AC;?

Yee calls the sensor â&#x20AC;&#x153;low cost technology

that is useful.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a custommade one, this is one that we just put together,â&#x20AC;? he says of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The technology has already been there, and [we] put [it] together in a really unique way to provide immediate value back to the producers.â&#x20AC;?

Development on the project will continue, with PAMI staff working

on making the sensor data more accessible for producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An interface will be produced to integrate the sensor with a mobile phone and will display the data in real-time to the operator â&#x20AC;&#x201C; allowing farmers to monitor their grain remotely and store data over long periods.â&#x20AC;?

Next up for improved sensory technology is soil sensors, says Yee.

Alicia Sopatyk, Livestock specialist

Alicia Sopatyk talks about an experiment done to make livestock watering Photo by Devan C. Tasa systems more effective.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

A new project aims to eliminate the key disadvantage of the system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest concern by far Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard from

livestock producers in regards to remote water systems is reliability,â&#x20AC;? said Alicia Sopatyk, a livestock specialist for the provincial agricul-

ture ministry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to constantly go back there to check it because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust it, or perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failed in the past.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Sopatyk, together with the  Carrot River Valley Watershed Association, has been experimenting with new systems that tell producers when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something wrong with the water system. Her research was carried out over the winter months and into the summer.

She presented the results at a session at Ag in Motion on July 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried out two different monitors for this project to address that reliability concern, one being a low-tech system with some simple wiring

hooked up to a beacon light that would flash if the water trough didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other was more of a high-tech system that took pictures of the water system and sent them to our cell phones to see, yes or no, if there was water in the trough.â&#x20AC;?

The high-tech system uses a consumer-grade game camera to take and send the pictures to cell phones.

Sopatyk said both systems had positive results.

The low-tech systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key disadvantage is that

it requires a line of sight to see if any light has turned on. The producer that tested the system also suggested it needs two lights: one that turns on when the trough is overflowing and one when it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t filled.

The high-tech system is more useful because it takes a photo of the system three times a day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A picture says 1,000 words,â&#x20AC;? Sopatyk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you can  get that picture direct to your cell phone and you can look and say yes or no, there is/isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t water in that trough, that ultimately became the frontrunner of this project.â&#x20AC;?

Sopatyk said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraging producers to look at consumergrade materials like game cameras and simple wiring to come up with systems that will work for them.

The past, once hidden, no longer Aerial photos of farmsteads taken in the 1950s now part of Calgary archive

By Becky Zimmer Editor

Saskatchewan homesteaders old and new got a chance to look into history with Homestead Aerialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentations throughout Saskatchewan over the summer, including stops in Humboldt, Watson, St. Brieux, Naicam, and Ag in Motion in July.

Just over a million photos were taken of Canadian homesteads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; churches, country schools and businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; back when planes and cameras were not as prevalent as today.

Starting in 1953, aerial photographers would take pictures of whatever rural homesteads they

Lots of people shed tears at our booth. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kim Bessette, Homestead Aerial found, and then follow up by visiting the homesteads door to door to sell the photos.

Many people do not even know the photos exist, says Kim Bessette, owner of the Calgarybased company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people are quite surprised to see stuff that actually existed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big archival library so to keep it all intact and organized

is a big project.â&#x20AC;?

With no flight restrictions, planes flew fairly low over the farms, says Bessette, meaning the photos have a fair amount of detail.

One gentleman who visited Bessette at his Humboldt stop found his father and siblings in the aerial photo of his former farm.

Stories like this are common, he says. People

who see the archive find pictures of farms that no longer exist, or places where their parents grew up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of people shed tears at our booth when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at farm shows,â&#x20AC;? says Bessette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon.â&#x20AC;?

Homestead Aerial took over the extensive archival library from an Edmonton company.

At first, Bessette received collections of p h o t o s f ro m a l l t h e C a n a d i a n p ro v i n c e s except Saskatchewan.

However, this February, Bessette says the collection was finally completed after the former owner of the archive delivered the photos taken

of Saskatchewan farms.

While not all the photos are available in printed form, Bessette says Homestead Aerial has all the negatives and will be combing through their collection.

The company has started the extensive job of going back through the negatives to see what needs to be reprinted.

The total collection contains 1.3 million photos.

Anyone who was not able visit Bessette when he was in the area can request photos through the Facebook page, Homestead Aerial Photos or by visiting t h e w e b s i t e , w w w. homesteadaerial.com.

Couture would say they have kept 100,000s cats out of stray cat cycle while providing a way for the hospital to reach out to producers and discuss what a healthy barn cat population looks like.

One misconception that Couture sees is that producers do not think spay and neutering their cats are worth the time, effort, and money if the cat is either going to be killed or disappear. It is actually quite the opposite, says Couture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural mating behaviours are the reason why those cats are going out to seek mates.

Usually when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out and about looking for that, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a greater risk for natural predators.â&#x20AC;?

Spaying and neutering is just responsible pet ownership, says Couture, and means a greater likelihood of cats sticking around, especially if food, water, and

The program started as a way to make staff more efficient at the Watrous Animal Hospital but the Barn Cats spay and neuter program has benefited farmers, community organizations, and cats alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The easiest way to develop efficiency and skills is to do lots of procedures,â&#x20AC;? says Holly Couture, registered veterinary technician and manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some new staff and we wanted to have an opportunity to have cats, one after another and multiple animals in a day.â&#x20AC;?

The program has surprised Couture and the rest of the staff after starting a couple of years ago by helping control the barn cat population in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to help alleviate the overpopulation of feral cats within towns or on farms to help create healthy cat populations. We are providing this service as a contribution to our ru-

rent is included in their barn guarding duties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will see how valuable they really are when you get a few good ones that stick around for some time.â&#x20AC;?

Strays are a real nuisance for local towns and Couture hears about the problems they cause in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gardens, yards, or just the annoyances and worry hearing the sounds of a cat in heat.

The cats are also feral which means they not easy to handle for trap and neuter groups as well as the vets themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk of the procedure is greater for these patients but with stray populations and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common to perform these procedures regardless, because of the greater benefits for population control,â&#x20AC;? says Couture.

The main goal of the program is healthy populations and Couture says they are proud to be making a difference in population control in Watrous and area.
