Students plan mission to assist victims overseas Two Carlyle students are planning missions to assist victims of trafficking and sexual violence around the world, and their community has their back.

King’s Department Store and Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery in Carlyle present Art and Illusion featuring Keith Kitchen and Derek Selinger at Carlyle Memorial Hall on Friday, May 22, as a fundraiser for the two local students, Grace Smyth and Breanna Kehler.

Grace is going to be

embarking on a four-month mission trip where she will work with Street Invaders in the Philippines, and primarily children, helping with feeding programs, prison ministry, and working in orphanages. From there, she will take part in a mission with Hope for Her International. She will travel through Thailand, India, and Nepal with women and girls who have been victims of sexual violence against women. Grace will then return to the Philippines

for a couple more weeks to continue helping Street Invaders.

“Having people aware of what we’re doing, supporting us, and just thinking of us while we’re gone is nice,” Grace said in a press release. “Oftentimes missions are romanticized, you’re a good person going to do good, but it’s actually really challenging over there, being completely immersed in a different culture, so having people back home supporting us and thinking

of us is a big thing.”

Breanna has a fivemonth mission planned through Youth With a Mission (YWAM). Through YWAM she will be focused on the program, Abolitionist Human Trafficking Discipleship Training School. She will begin with in Las Vegas for a three-month training course, where they will perform outreaches in the area as well as in Mexico to people at risk. After training she will leave for an overseas mission for two months. Though she doesn’t know where her overseas mission will take her yet, she explained that

India and Nepal are often

visited by the program.

Filling the brain to the brim It’s no surprise that our attention span is now less than that of a goldfish, according to a study conducted by Microsoft Corp.

We can multi-task like never before, and actually retain a lot of the information we absorb. We also have an average attention span of only eight seconds, four seconds less than what it was in 2000, says the 54page study. A goldfish has a nine-second attention span.

The ongoing struggle to stay focused on a single task is now, literally, a challenge I’m occasionally confronted with, due to the multiple distractions available to me with a press of a button.

I can still focus on a single task, but I’m much more aware now that I’m trying to stay focused. It wasn’t always like that.

I can recall my early days in college, where the concept of multi-tasking subtly entered my life, as

Alex Coop

Writing Prevents That Sinking Feeling a result of the education I was trying to pursue in journalism. I was awful at multi-tasking back then. I often felt the information I had read or watched moments ago slip away from me, while various other distractions waved their hands excitedly, hoping I would pick them next. However, the more I watched the evening news on TV, while browsing my Twitter feed on my phone and reading articles on my computer, the more it felt like I was normalizing it. I was, and still am, connected to the social network in some way every second of every day.

Now, that’s not to say that

I’m staring at my phone or computer all day reading tweets and clicking on the latest news stories, but the network and the rest of the world is always in my peripheral vision, Quite literally, in fact, as my laptop sits on my desk next to my office computer, with Twitter and various other news-related tabs open on it and easily accessible at a moment’s notice.

While working on something, I’ll occasionally scan these tabs to see if any waves are being made in the world of news. I find it fascinating that this kind of awareness and ease to access information exists

at our fingertips, despite the obvious downside that comes in the form of our struggle to focus in environments where prolonged attention is needed.

I don’t like the feeling I get when I fail to remain up-to-date. I feel left out, and frustrated that there are things happening out in the world I’m not aware of, even if it isn’t affecting me directly. I think I feel this way, more so because as a reporter and news junkie, I’m always searching for story ideas, and therefore approach most news items and various happenings with genuine interest.

I could go without a computer or phone for days, but I know frustration would eventually settle in.

The need to absorb information at such a rapid rate is addicting.

I’ve come to accept this, but I appreciate the fact that I’m not a part of the 52 per cent that noted

during Microsoft’s study, that they check their phone every 30 minutes. I’m also not among the 77 per cent of respondents between the ages of 18 and 24 that reach for their phone or mobile device when they’re bored.

But I am, without a doubt, a modern multitasker, a title that can apply to things I do outside of work, too.

Multi-tasking is a result of the Internet’s rapid advancement and our ongoing hunger to feed the brain as much as possible.

I’m on board with it, but I encourage everyone to keep in mind that everything is better in moderation. Don’t forget there is a physical world out there that deserves our full attention at times, and you won’t always understand it if you only focus on it for eight seconds.

Just don’t distract yourself while driving, that’s a big no-no.

Keeping supply management simple The idea of supply management is one of those things that, when analyzed, makes so much sense that you just know many people are going to rail against the concept.

In my role as a journalist, one with agriculture as one of his beats for the past 25-plus years, I have written a lot of stories about farmers questioning how they can eke out a living.

There have been stories of farm gate standoffs to prevent farm sales forced by foreclosure.

There have been tractor parades slowing traffic to protest low farm returns.

And more meetings and ad hoc farm programs and new idea support programs than I care to recall.

But, through all those events, the suppliedmanaged sectors, poultry and dairy were, for the most part, buffered from the worst effects of every price downturn whether created by market realities or political interference.

Somewhere in our past, a politician in Ottawa actually had a good idea regarding helping farmers at least have a shot at being real even year-to-year. That is saying a lot given the long list of flawed support programs (farmers still blanche white when someone mentions GRIP (Gross Revenue Insurance Plan) which might have been the most hated farm support program in history).

The follow-ups to GRIP has been a mix of good, bad and rolls and rolls of red tape, to the point none have been widely loved; tolerated being a better word.

But there was that one good idea which has endured, that of supply management.

The idea is its most basic design really is brilliantly simple.

On the one side you determine what demand is for a product. In this case it was an

Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist easily determined market, that of dairy and poultry for the domestic Canadian market. With the demand defined a quota system is assigned to fill that need. The quotas are set to neither short the market, or to over produce so as to flood a finite market.

On the farm side a cost-of-producing a gallon of milk, or a dozen eggs is established, and that is the basis upon which producers are paid.

That does not mean every producer gets rich, as the cost-of-production is something of an industry average. Some producers will struggle to work with that average, others will glean a better margin.

That said, going back to all the rallies and meeting over the years, whether they related to grain process, or cattle, or hogs, the one thing often heard was the need for a support program which ensured producers received the basic cost of production.

For the most part supply management has meant producers at least break even, and producers are ensured a steady supply of domestically produced product at a reasonable price.

While there has been rationalization and upscaling of operations in both dairy and poultry, there are still viable farmers here thanks in large part to supply management.

There is little doubt in my mind we would

have a strong horticulture and fruit sector were there some supply management controls.

Ditto for the lamb sector.

Other countries have never been a fan of Canadian supply management, which in itself says it is a program which favours Canada and Canadian producers.

Through numerous trade deals dating at least back to NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) others have called for our country to dismantle supply management opening up this country to milk shipped from Mexico, or eggs from Carolina. There is no way that sounds like a better situation for consumers, especially in an era when concerns over food safety are heightened. It has to be better to have the ability to control safety domestically.

So far Canada has held onto supply management but that may change as the government works to negotiate Canada’s place in the TransPacific Partnership (TPP), 12 countries attempting to negotiate an Asia-Pacific trade pact.

There is again calls for Canada to tear apart its supply managed system to facilitate access to dairy and poultry from abroad.

With the current Progressive Conservative government, one which dismantled the Canadian Wheat Board another entity other countries saw as giving Canada an advantage, and one which also leans toward a business world sans controls and regulations. Supply managed farmers cannot feel particularly safe.

Hopefully, supply management will stick, since it works generally very well, and to lose it would simply leave the dairy and poultry sectors to the same vagaries of world markets and foreign government policy, which has never been the best situation for other farmers here.

The English Patient – Director

Anthony Minghella works his magic with this award-winning adaptation of Michael Ondaatje’s novel about a doomed and tragic romance set against the backdrop of World War II. Undeniably one of the best love stories put on film.

The Devil’s Own – Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt star in a very mediocre drama about a New York cop who plays host to a notorious IRA terrorist who has come to the U.S to buy weapons in hopes of getting revenge on whoever killed his father. It’s surprisingly not as exciting as it sounds.

NFU not applauding Bill C-18 The National Farmers Union is one of the organizations that is not pleased with the passing of Bill C-18 in the Canadian parliament, which became law on February 25, 2015.

The bill, entitled the Agricultural Growth Act omnibus bill became law and brought Canada’s plant breeders’ right to conform to the UPOV ’91.

UPOV (International Union for protection of varieties of plants). From now on, the NFU said, seed companies’ exclusive rights to control new varieties of seed have been expanded. They have gained new ways to collect royalty revenue from farmers and longer 20-year royalty collection period (25 years for tree and vine varieties).

“By announcing Bill C-18’s passing at the headquarters of a private seed company, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, clearly signaled that the Agricultural Growth Act will primarily benefit agri-business corporations,” said Jan Slomp, NFU president. “This law is nothing for farmers to cheer about, in spite of congratulatory statements made by several other organizations. On the contrary, the National Farmers Union has carefully analyzed the implications of the act in the context of Canada’s seed law and policy framework and the structure of Canada’s seed industry and concluded that it turns farmers’ ancient relationship with seed inside out.”

The new act restricts farmers’ ability to save and re-use seed. It gives plant breeders exclusive rights to authorize all reproductions, conditioning, stock, using varieties to produce hybrids, among other things. The rights are protected for 20 years.

Along with these exclusive rights, it authorizes

breeders to demand payment of royalties as condition for using varieties in any of the above ways,” said Ann Slater, NFU vice-president of policy. “The new law enables the government to erode and even eliminate the farmers’ privilege to save and re-use seed on their own holdings through regulation. ThisAct’s ‘essentially derived’ clause gives seed companies the right to control future varieties created by other breeders who use a protected variety as part of the breeding process.”

The NFU said this means private breeding corporations such as Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, Syngenta, Limagrain, Land O’ Lake, KWS, Bayer Cropsicence and Dow AgroSciences, with headquarters outside Canada, will now dominate farming practices, said Terry Boehm, chairman of the NFU Seed and Trade Committee. He said farmers will now pay more for seed and in the future, may have to pay end-point royalties on their whole crop, including feed and forage for their own livestock.

Boehm added that now seed corporations will decide which new varieties will be commercialized and will reap royalty payments thanks to Bill C-18, the NFU said.

They also pointed out this exclusivity extends to imports and exports of propagating material that will allow the companies to sell seed developed for larger markets in other countries with different growing conditions, instead of investing in plant breeding relevant to Canadian farmers.

“It is a shame Canada’s government has decided to pass a law that enriches some of the wealthiest and most powerful global corporations at the expense of Canadian farmers and the biodiversity of Canada’s food system,” the NFU concluded.

Province increases support for sexual assault services Six organizations dedicated to victims of sexual assault will receive $1.2 million this year from the Government of Saskatchewan, representing a 22 per cent increase over last year’s funding.

“This is a substantial funding increase and shows this government takes the issue of sexual assault in Saskatchewan seriously,” Regina Douglas Park MLA Russ Marchuk said in a press release on behalf of Justice Minster and Attorney

General Gordon Wyant. “We must do all we can for victims of sexual assault in this province. I am proud we can help these programs continue their good work.”

Sexual Assault Services provide a number of supports for victims of sexual assault including a 24-hour crisis line, crisis counselling, and accompanying individuals to medical, legal, and social services appointments.

In 2015-16, $1.2 million will be divided among the following organizations:

Battlefords and Area Sexual Assault Centre; Lloydminster Sexual Assault and Information Centre; Regina Sexual Assault Centre; Saskatoon Sexual Assault and Information Centre; Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours in Yorkton; and The Prince Albert Mobile Crisis Unit Co-operative.

“This new funding will ensure that our focus on

prevention of violence and safety, aimed at children, will grow and flourish,” Regina Sexual Assault Centre administrator Debbie House noted. “It is so gratifying to see government recognizing

and responding to how sexualized violence is affecting our community.”

“The increased funding from the Ministry of Justice will assist in outreach, community education, and

indicated that seeding was 14 per cent complete across the board as of May 8, with the southeast region being around 13 per cent.

With some further cooperation from Mother Nature, there are reasonable expectations to have most of the southeast crops in the ground by month’s end.

Sherri Roberts, a crop specialist for the Ministry of Agriculture, said last week

the southeast sector will see more wheat acreage this growing season compared with last year while crops seeded to canola will be less this year due to prevailing conditions and prices, but the swing would not be dramatic.

Other crops such as flax, mustard, oats and barley will be fixed at fairly traditional levels. Southeast producers will continue a small but significant trend upwards

Peas will be at expected/ traditional levels of seeding.

Roberts suggested that local farmers are practicing good crop rotation schedules year-to-year which will help boost yields over the long haul.

Some land damaged by the floods of 2011 and 2014 have been recovered which will allow the farmers who were impacted most directly by the excess water, to retrieve a few more acres to put into production.

Hay and pasture lands are rated as being in excess to good with very few sections being rated as poor for moisture content.

“Most of the dugouts and sloughs are full,” said Roberts. “The water table is still high and things look pretty positive.”

Ag students get $10,000 in scholarships STUDENTS FROM MIDDLE LAKE, KENASTON AND LLOYDMINSTER WIN BIG Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart handed out $10,000 in scholarships to four deserving provincial students in early May. Morgan Heidecker from Middle Lake captured the major scholarship award of $4,000 for her video submission that highlighted her passion for agriculture and her drive to enter an industry she described as timeless, challenging and full of opportunity.

“Agriculture has made a tremendous impact on my life and I always viewed it as a natural fit career-wise, Heidecker said.

“I want to be a part of an industry that is changing and adapting all of the time. It is clear just how vital the industry is when you look at the growing population.”

“It is encouraging to see the youth of Saskatchewan passionate about building a career in our strong and vibrant agriculture industry,” Stewart added while making the announcements.

“Future generations have an impor-

tant role to play in building the public’s understanding of how the industry is working to meet the increasing global demand for food.”

Runner-up scholarships valued at $2,000 each were awarded to Shelby Evan of Kenaston, Alyxandria Harland of Lloydminster and Cassandra Maurer of Grenfell.

“I want to congratulate these deserving winners and thank all of the applicants for thinking about agriculture,” Steward said. “I wish you all the best as you pursue your education and build a career in this thriving industry.”

Scholarship applicants were required to provide a letter of reference and submit a 1,000 word fact-based essay or a threeminute video demonstrating why they ThinkAG in their career pursuits.

ThinkAG is a Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture initiative designed to promote opportunities in the agriculture industry.

Canadian oilseed producers comment on mandatory rail volume rules The Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (COPA) issued a statement, on Apr. 2, regarding the suspension of mandatory volume requirements for rail transportation that was announced recently by Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Transport Minister Lisa Raitt.

“The minimum volume requirements kick-started increased rail service when it was badly needed,” said Patti Miller, COPA’s president. “If similar circumstances arise, the government’s ability to re-instate mandatory volumes may be required, so that Canada can remain a reliable supplier of high quality oil and meal products.”

Complementary action by the federal government to facilitate improved rail service for shippers has also enabled oilseed processors to better meet customer needs.

Expanding the interswitching distance to 160 km, facilitating improved transparency to measure railway performance and enabling

service level agreements between shippers and railways are positive measures, COPA stated.

“Our members are hopeful the federal government builds upon their efforts to allow shippers to sign meaningful service level agreements with railways,” said Miller.

“Holding railways accountable for poor service with financial penalties is essential for commercial relationships that enable oilseed processors to grow.”

COPA added they remain focused on achieving market-driven solutions to transportation concerns through the review of the Canada Transportation Act. Amongs its recommendations for the review panel, led by Hon. David Emerson: the addition of reciprocal penalties within arbitrated service level agreements between shippers and railways; the strengthening of the level of service provisions by defining “suitable and adequate” service as, that which meets the needs of the shipper and finally, extending

the limits for interswitching to 160 km on a permanent basis.

COPA’s member companies processed 7.1 million tonnes of canola and 1.6 million

tonnes of soybeans in 2014. Exports of oilseed products are highly reliant on rail with Canada exporting $4 billion of oilseed oils and meal products last year.

Sask. leads the way in ag. exports, again For the fourth consecutive year, Saskatchewan has set a record for agri-food exports with total sales of $13.9 billion. This makes the province Canada’s top agri-food exporting province.

Saskatchewan exported $13.9 billion in agricultural and agri-food products to 153 countries in 2014.

This represents a 19 per cent increase from 2013.

“Agriculture continues to be a strong and steady driver of the Saskatchewan economy, once again setting an agri-food export record,” said Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart. “The credit goes to our farmers, ranchers and agri-businesses for producing and exporting what the world needs. With 15 different countries each

purchasing more than $200 million in agri-food goods, Saskatchewan agriculture is one of the most diversified sectors in Canada in terms of export markets.”

Market development and trade advocacy are key priorities for the Government of Saskatchewan, said Stewart.

Working closely with industry partners and the federal government, the provincial ministry continues to build on existing trade relationships while forging new global partnerships. In 2014, the ministry participated in trade missions to India and China, two of the province’s largest trade destinations for agricultural products.

“Saskatchewan is particularly appreciative of the progress our federal

counterparts have made in opening new markets and increasing access in existing markets,” Stewart said.

“We look forward to the upcoming opportunities for expanded agricultural trade that Canada’s new agreements with the European Union and South Korea will bring.”

With average annual incsraeases of 14 per cent since 2010, the province is well on its way to meeting the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth target of $15 billion in agricultural exports by 2020.

S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s strength as an agri-food exporter is underpinned by increases in crop and livestock production, as well as a growing value-added sector.

Clubroot problems surface in Alberta fields The Canola Council of Canada issued a statement last week noting that erosion of clubroot resistance is showing up across Alberta fields. This provides a heads up for farmers in the neighbouring province.

Recent research by Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and the University of Alberta, confirmed the continued spread with multiple virulent pathotypes suspected.

Protecting against further erosion of current clubroot resistance requires a stratgegy focused on minimizing clubroot resting spore spread and keeping spore loads as low as possible.

In early 2014, a U of A researcher Stephen Strelkov, identified the presence of a different clubroot pathotype virculent on current forms of clubroot resistance.

Further field surveillance in 2014 by AARD, the U of A and the Canola Council of Canada confirmed that clubroot pathotypes capable of causing high levels of

disease in resistant cultivars were present in 16 of 27 fields investigated across Alberta. The clubroot pathogen isolated from many of these fields was virulent on all clubroot resistant cultivars. It is suspected there may be multiple pathotypes causing this loss of function of clubroot resistance.

“These new fields aren’t clustered around the original location of resistance breakdown. They are hundreds of kilometres apart and throughout the clubroot infested areas of the province,” said Dan Orchard, agronomy specialist and clubroot lead with CCC. “We need to continue to focus on both minimizing the spread of these new pathotypes and the buildup of resting spores in all fields.”

Since equipment contaminated with clubrootinfested soil is the key mechanism for clubroot spread, good sanitation on equipment during all field operations — including seeding and spraying — is

Beef branding adds Mexico After successfully hosting some Canadian beef branding events across Asia and the Middle East, Canada Beef said recently they were proud to announce the initial brand series in Mexico city in mid-April.

In collaboration with Canada Pork, the Canadian Beef Branding Series took place in Mexico City at Studio Gourmet. Canada Beef played host to some of the country’s most innovative and influential chefs to experience the Canadian brand.

The series allows Canada Beef to engage chefs and the business community around the four pillars of the Canadian beef brand — producer, product, world class standards and sustainability.

By engaging both the emotion and technical attributes, the series aims to create and sustain strong brand loyalty to the Canadian beef advantage and ultimately, Canadian beef.

“The Canadian beef brand sets us apart from our competition,” said Rob Meijer, president of Canada Beef. “Through international culinary partners, like those in Mexico, our brand and product is being put to the test based on quality, safety, consistency and, moreover, culinary experience. Around the world consumers are increasingly

demanding, what we consider to be the best beef in the world.”

Canada Beef is currently well into the second year of partnership with Karisma Hotels and Resorts in Mexico, where the Canadian beef brand is highlighted one week each month at one of Mexico’s finest culinary destinations. Culinary innovators and consumers alike have the opportunity here to experience the Canadian beef brand with some of Canada’s top chefs.

“Mexico is an innovative culinary leader in beef and at the forefront of new and interesting flavours. In our strategic pursuit of culinary excellence, we have found innovative ways to bring the Canadian beef brand to these influencers and instill loyalty,” said Jorge Mendez, director of business development in Latin America for Canada Beef.

Mexican industry partners have recently paid visits to the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence where the produce was showcased.

Canada Beef is a cattle producer funded and operated organization responsible for domestic and international beef and veal market development.

It maintains offices in Canada, Mexico, Japan, China and Taiwan.

recommended. “The level of sanitation should be based on the level of clubroot risk, but at least 90 per cent of clubroot spores that move from field to field can be stopped by just scraping off 90 per cent of the soild,” said Orchard.

“Preventing the buildup of resistant spores is best managed through longer rotations and the use of resistant varieties,” Orchard added. “If growers wait for clubroot to show up before choosing resistant varieties,

the selection pressure for new virulent pathotypes is literally millions of times higher than if growers begin using these varieties before the disease shows up.”

AARD and the U of A continue to monitor the situation closely.

Actions undertaken so far include ongoing surveillance for clubroot pathotypes capable of overcoming resistance, and development of a research program to evaluate and characterize the new clubroot pathot-

CCC adivses canola growers and agronomists scout their canola fields this summer with extra effort on clubroot identification.

The best time to scout for the symptoms on roots is late in the season, approximately two weeks before swathing, when root galls should be easy to identify.

Soil samples can be collected as well at any time and from non-canola fields to determine if the clubroot pathogen is present.

If resistance breakdown is suspected, the CCC recommends that you contact their agronomy specialist. “Identifying breakdown will aid the entire industry in agronomic research and varietal development efforts to manage this disease,” Orchard said.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015

Early seeding ahead of schedule Fourteen per cent of the 2015 crop is in the ground, according to the Saskatchewan Agriculture Crop Report. The five-year (2010-2014) average for this time of year is two per cent seeded.

Thanks to the dry weather in the southwest, farmers in that region have 34 per cent of the 2015 crop in the ground.

In the rest of the province, seeding has started for most farmers. In the southeast, producers have 14 per cent seeded, though seeding conditions vary across the region. In some areas, seeding has just started, while in other areas, good progress has been made thanks to the dry weather.

In the west-central re-

gion producers have eight per cent seeded; northwestern producers seven per cent; east-central producers three per cent and northeastern producers two per cent.

In some areas of the province, spotty rain showers throughout the week have caused some delay in seeding.

Thirty-two per cent of field peas have been seeded, 29 per cent of lentils, 33 per cent of mustard, 25 per cent of durum and eight per cent of spring wheat and canola.

Though there was very little rainfall in the southeast through April, moisture conditions are considered adequate throughout most of the region. Very little rain – ranging from nil to four mm (Indian Head

area) – was reported in the southeast.

Cropland topsoil moisture in the southeast is rated as 24 per cent surplus, 65 per cent adequate and 11 per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 16 per cent surplus, 64 per cent adequate and 20 per cent short. CDs 1B and 2B are reporting 44 per cent and 37 per cent of the cropland, respectively, have surplus topsoil moisture.

Topsoil moisture conditions across the province on cropland are rated as 16 per cent surplus, 74 per cent adequate and 10 per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as eight per cent surplus, 75 per cent adequate, 14 per cent short and three per cent

About 14 per cent of the 2015 crop is in the ground. The five-year average for this time of year is two per cent. very short.

Farmers are busy seeding, pre-working fields and putting down fertilizer and

There are indications that some seeding plans are starting to change due to

wet field conditions in some areas. Poor road conditions in some areas are limiting access to fields.

Workshop focuses on child safety online Envision Counselling and Support Centre and the Estevan Police Service are partnering up to provide parents with important information regarding child safety on the Internet.

Sgt. Ron Weir and Cpl. Cory Patterson of the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) will speak to parents at the Estevan Comprehensive School’s cafeteria about the dangers of child luring, exploitation and sexploitation.

Sask ICE is an integrated unit that falls under the Criminal Investigations Division of the Regina Police Service, and its mandate is to “reduce Internet-facilitated child sexual exploitation by identifying victimized children and investigating and assisting in the prosecution of sexual offenders,” according to the Regina Police Service’s website.

Envision is currently compiling information to create a strategy for their Cyberviolence Project, which focuses on the prevention and elimination of cyberviolence among young women and girls in southeast Saskatchewan.

The project is being spearheaded by project coordinator Juli Dzuba, and is using a portion of a $160,000 federal grant that was forwarded to the team for the twoyear project.

“A lot of parents don’t understand what’s going on and they don’t always monitor what is happening to their kid online or elsewhere and they might now understand the extent of the problem,” Dzuba said in an interview with the Mercury in March 2015.

Fun starts in the backyard

(NC) No matter what the season, Canadians love being outdoors. While Canadians will brave the elements year round, things are made a lot easier during the spring and summer months. The amount of warm weather activities are endless, however for many Canadians the best memories are of time spent with friends and family at the cottage or in the backyard. One of the necessities for any outdoor gathering is a powerful barbecue. The right grill and accessories can provide you and your guests with mouth-watering meats, pizzas, vegetables and more. Here are some things to look for when searching for your next grill: Cooking Grids: Look for a grill with heavy cast iron or stainless steel cooking grids. Thick tightly spaced rods provide superior heat retention that delivers searing heat across the entire grilling surface.

Vaporization: Food drippings that are allowed to drop through to the grease tray are simply lost flavour. When you are shopping for a grill look for a vaporizing system that fully covers the cook box. This allows vaporization to occur everywhere, maximizing the flavour of your food.

The Burner System: The burner system is one of the most important features in any grill. If you already own a grill, you know that nothing is more frustrating that doing the grill dance – rotating your food around the grill because of uneven heat distribution. Look for a grill with multiple burners and flame ports on both sides for the best coverage. An important tip to note with tube burners is gas has a natural tendency to pool at the front. Make sure you look for a burner with Dual-Tube design like in Broil King grills. This is engineered to ensure even flame from front to back. For peace of mind consider a grill with a burner warranty of at least 10 years.

If you are selecting a grill for the cottage, make sure to also purchase a cover to protect from inclement weather and animals. These are just a few helpful tips to keep in mind when you are looking for your next grill. Do your research, read consumer reviews, and ask the store’s customer service representatives any questions that you may have.

How to protect your most valuable asset (NC) Controlling your home from the touch of a smart phone may seem like something from a futuristic science fiction movie or an episode of the Jetson’s but in world where technology is constantly shifting and developing, this power is now right at the fingertips of the consumer.

For Canadians who travel extensively, have unpredictable schedules, or head to cottages for the summer, being able to control one’s home remotely gives families piece of mind that their home is safe and sound while they are

away. Not only does this make a home more secure but actually saves money and increases efficiency.

Home automation can be applied for almost anything from lights, to temperature, to locks and security.

Lights: Dimming lights by 50 per cent when you`re not home can save energy and money. Making this simple adjustment results in a single light bulb lasting 20 times longer than normal. Being able to control the lights in your home remotely is perfect for families who constantly forget

to turn off the lights when they leave the house.

Te m p e r a t u r e : Controlling your thermostat remotely allows homeowners to set the temperature of their residence at their convenience. This capability keeps heating and cooling costs low to help reduce utility bills.

Locks: With lock systems like the Schlage Connect, you can monitor and control locks on every door in your house. This technology provides options to create and delete codes remotely for visiting family and friends, track who is using the codes to know who is coming and going from your house and has the capability to send notifications if any tampering or break-in’s occur. Controlled by the Wink app, this technology allows homeowners to stay connected and up-to-date with their home’s door activity with the simple touch of a button from a smart phone.

Emergency kits are vital during thunder storms

Thunder storms are coming (NC) Storms can approach quickly and without much warning, so plan now for a family emergency kit.

Involve your children as you create a list of items needed in the event of an extended power outage. Be sure to include these: • Water (recommend 2 litres per person/day) • Canned or dried food that won’t spoil • A manual can opener • Windup or battery powered flashlight • Windup or battery powered radio • Extra batteries for your flashlight and radio • Any medical items you require • Blanket • Hydro One’s emergency power outage hotline number is 1-800-434-1235.

Make sure you have at least one corded phone at home; a cordless phone will not work in a power outage.

• Fully charged cell-

phone.

Once your emergency kit is complete, keep it in a backpack and make sure everyone in your home knows where to find it. For local updates on power outages and estimated restorations times, download the Hydro One app for immediate information.

Also helpful is the video on power emergencies at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Mghrs9g37Fo. If the power system in your area is affected by bad weather, be sure to stay clear of any fallen power lines. If you spot a fallen line, keep at least 10 metres back, even if it does not appear to be live.

Report it to the police and call Hydro One at 1-800434-1235. Safety is at the core of everything Hydro One employees do. Not only are crews trained in First Aid, but every Hydro One vehicle is equipped with a first aid kit.

LANDSCAPING MATERIALS

By maintaining your property and upgrading it when necessary, the resale value of your home can be controlled.

Select upgrades that add value to your home (NC) Protecting the resale value of your property is well within your control. Proper maintenance and adding necessary upgrades can mitigate fluctuations in the housing market and provide the best return on your investment.

“The good news in real estate is that you can build your home’s value in an appreciating market and protect it when the housing market is in decline,” says Lincoln Thompson, broker-owner with Royal LePage Gardiner Realty in Fredericton, New Brunswick. “By making the right improvements, you’ll protect the resale price through the cycle of any housing market.” Here’s how: Choose quality materials for maintenance and upgrades. For the long-haul, quality is the single most important factor in renovations and upgrades. Inferior products must be replaced more often, and labour costs rise as cheaper materials are often more difficult to work with.

Remember, in upgrades, newer isn’t necessarily better, so try to retain the elements that are worth keeping.

Renovate to the level of your surrounding neighbourhood. Check property listings to determine average market value of your neighbourhood, or ask your real estate agent for an opinion. Once you know your home’s potential price point, make decisions about how extensive your upgrades should be. Upgrade to a level that is appropriate to the value of your property and properties within your immediate area.

Consider all upgrades throughout the home when making choices on new ones. If you choose to install a high-end bathroom into an otherwise dated home, you may not recoup its cost. Conversely, a lower-quality upgrade may disappoint potential buyers if the renovations are not in keeping with those throughout the house. Let your home, as a whole package, guide decisions on the level of new improvements.

Consider your individual financial picture. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to borrow to make home improvements. Lower interest loans for home renovations are often available since lenders view that you are adding value to your real estate investment.

However, if you are borrowing and can’t pay back in a timely fashion, then that $30,000 kitchen upgrade may not be wise.

Southeast A’s split first two games of season The Southeast A’s bantam AAA baseball team opened their season with a win and a loss on May 9 and 10.

They fell to the Regina Pacers 19-6 in their first game of the season, but defeated Moose Jaw 15-8.

Both games were played on the road.

The Southeast Bantam AA A’s is a new team in the Baseball Regina bantam AAA league. The team includes five players from Alameda, two players each from Oxbow and Lampman, and one player each from Carnduff, Bienfait, Kenosee Lake, Wawota, and Kipling.

In the A’s opening game of the season, they trailed early after the Pacers scored five runs in the first inning.

The A’s didn’t back down as they managed to score six runs of their own, but it wasn’t enough.

Despite the loss, coach Trent Dorrance said that the

team can be competitive in the Regina Baseball bantam AAA league.

“Half the battle is having these kids believe they belong here and can compete with any of these teams. We have a lot of potential and we are going to get there,” he said.

Two southeast players selected in WHL draft

By David Willberg Cole Fonstad has impressed hockey fans in southeast Saskatchewan for years with his talent and his offensive ability.

Now he’s looking forward to showcasing his skills for the Western Hockey League’s Prince Albert Raiders.

The talented Estevan hockey player was selected in the first round, fifth overall, by the Raiders in the WHL’s Bantam Draft on May 5. He was the first player from the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League to be chosen in the draft.

“It’s really nice to be close to home,” Fonstad said. “Hopefully I can be playing there in a couple of years. It’ll be nice for my family to be able to make it to lots of games, and I can still come home, maybe, a few times a year.”

Be

Fonstad had spoken to the Raiders prior to the draft.

He also talked to other teams that were selecting early, including the Tri-Cities Americans, who picked seventh overall, and the Spokane Chiefs, who had the ninth pick.

Fonstad, who plays centre, spent the last two years with the Estevan TS&M Bantam AA Bruins.

He finished seventh in league scoring in 2014-15 with 36 goals and 67 points in 29 games. He added 10 points in five post-season games.

The previous year, he was fourth in scoring with 35 goals and 68 points in 31 games, and added 15 points in seven playoff games.

Fonstad credits Tom Copeland, his bantam coach the last two years, for his improvements.

“He taught me a lot about just taking the puck

wide and using my speed, and how to play the game to get to the next level,” said Fonstad.

Fonstad expects to play midget AAA with the Moose Jaw Generals in 2015-16, and then join the Raiders the following season.

This is the second straight year that an Estevan product has been selected early in the WHL Draft. Defenceman Brayden Pachal was chosen in the second round, 40th overall, by the Victoria Cougars last year.

Copeland said he wasn’t surprised that Fonstad was selected so soon.

“I was worried that the Western Hockey League scouts weren’t going to see what we see,” said Copeland. “Cole deserved to go that high. Maybe higher.”

It didn’t take long for Copeland to realize that Fonstad was a tremendous young player.

“He’s put the work in,” said Copeland. “In particular, the first two months of last season, he learned to

“Cody was drafted on what his potential is, and I think that he can realize that,” said Copeland.

“He’s going to get a lot of strong mentorship from the Western Hockey League.”

Levesque was the best goalie in the league in the first couple months of the season, Copeland said. And while Levesque tailed off in the second half, he still had a great year and has a bright future.

Copeland said Fonstad has worked hard to improve his defensive game and become a better player in front of the net.
