I can do that, I think As you sit comfortably on your couch watching your favourite sports team get walloped, the accumulating bonehead plays forces you to think, “Jeez, I could actually play on that team and do better.” You think this, of course, while slurping the Cheetos residue off your fingertips. Nevertheless, this thought is a powerful one, and it’s one that crossed my mind the other day while watching Blue Jays highlights – I can’t watch the entire game on TV. The footage showed someone fumble a ball that rolled towards him, and immediately I thought, “You get paid millions, and you can’t even catch a ball?” Then I remembered a time when I practiced with a cross-country team in college. It was for a
Alex Coop
Writing Prevents That Sinking Feeling story I wrote about what it takes to make and maintain a spot on a college varsity team. There were two reasons I chose crosscountry: First, all you have to do is run. Second, how hard can that be? The fact that I couldn’t finish the practice 40 minutes later was the most solid answer to any question I ever had. They began with a “warm-up” run that was approximately 5 km long and took us down a winding trail, which eventually led to the highway. Then
we had to run back. I managed to stay with the group for the entire run, but I clearly remember the athletes, who surrounded me, talking to each other about their weekends as they ran. Meanwhile, I was simply zeroed in on my breathing, trying to avoid a cramp. We made it back to the field where the practice began. I was doing OK. After a series of gruelling stretches that made me realize I was the least flexible person on the planet,
we had to do what’s called “hill training.” The concept is simple; you run a course that has numerous hills, resulting in an exercise that’s meant to push you to the limit as you try to pace yourself. My limit was two hills. Now, of course, with additional training, I might have lasted longer, but that wasn’t the point. I wanted to see how hard I would fail – because I knew I would – if I waltzed into a varsity team’s practice and tried to match their intensity. I was in admirable shape, and I thought it would be a good test. The practice reinforced my perception of varsity sports and the training that takes place behind-the-scenes, especially at a school with
high levels of athletic excellence. It’s not easy to be so good and so consistent at a sport. Baseball is no different. Without a doubt, professional athletes often get paid too much, but the work they put in during practice and in the offseason is intense. Sure, I might have caught a glimpse of a player fumbling a ball on the field, but I didn’t see the countless hours he put in at the gym, on the practice field and at the dinner table, (where he’s likely limited to very healthy types of food.) And I’m certain Cheetos are on his list of “eat it and you’re fired,” foods. That is partially why I don’t think I could ever become a professional athelete. Junk food and I are close friends.
Where is our bacon going? The pork industry in Canada seems to be one sector of agriculture, which could literally fade into oblivion. That is actually a statement I would not have thought I would ever write, but the sector is evidence of how quickly things can change in the area of agriculture. Pigs were once commonplace on practically every farm in Canada. The raising of a few hogs as a way to create some cash-flow through sales, and to ensure a full freezer, were just part of farmsteads alongside laying hens and a big garden. But farming began to grow post the big wars, and in the 1970s specialization became the trend from there. The result was a move to larger farms where having livestock went by the wayside in favour of more acres. If you were going to raise stock, the land was generally sold off and the herds got bigger and bigger. The hog industry in particular followed that trend, moving from a sow, or two on virtually every farm, to where 60-sow units where the norm, then 100, 240, and now 2400 or more. There were supposed economies of scale realized with growth, although over the last 15-years the sector has shown when losses are the norm from the marketplace the red ink can flood and then drown a mega operation rather quickly. Still, there was reason to believe pigs made sense on the Canadian Prairies, largescale barns included. Again we need to look back within the past 15-years to review that
Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist viewpoint. Large operations need lots of land onto which they can spread manure as a crop nutrient source. There is lots of land on the Prairies, much of it far enough removed from, large population centres that would have issue with the smell. Smaller rural centres might not have liked the smell either, but there was a need for jobs in such areas, which made barns more tolerable. And farmers needed an alternate place to sell grain as prices never seemed high enough, long enough, to make farming profitable on a year-to-year basis. Fast forward a few years, and grain prices, pushed up by ethanol demand and overall commodity price strengthening, and low cost feed disappeared. A strong economy, at least in Saskatchewan offered up jobs that looked better than working with pigs, and that advantage was gone. Suddenly the hog sector was in disarray with bankruptcies and questions about its future. And, it appears government policies are hampering the sector even more, at least
according to a recent Western Producer article detailing comments by Maple Leaf Foods president Michael McCain to the Manitoba Pork Council annual meeting April 15. “Maple Leaf Foods, which owns Canada’s biggest hog slaughter plant in Brandon as well as other major meat processing plants, has long complained about the Manitoba government’s moratorium on new hog barn construction. It says the moratorium has caused slaughter hog numbers to drop to the point that the Brandon second shift has dropped to half its capacity,” states the article. “As well, the federal government has made it harder for plants to hire foreign workers. It means Maple Leaf would have trouble finding enough people to staff its plant even if the number of slaughter hogs in Manitoba rises. “McCain said Manitoba is one million pigs per year short of what it needs for its slaughter and processing industry. As well, the Brandon plant is 350 people short of requirements to run full-out.” Certainly having roadblocks set in front of a sector, which has weathered a long period of lows, only adds to the problem. It is clear that if we want hogs raised here, government needs to get out of the way and let the industry try to regain momentum in terms of being viable. Without governments being on-side with pork sector needs we could see the day when only a few specialty sales herds remain viable and we have to look beyond our borders for the bacon to go with our eggs.

Rebuilding a place to play Submitted by Paulette Gosselin On Saturday May 2, residents from Roche Percee and area gathered to assemble and install playground equipment in their play park in the village. The approximately twenty workers soaked up the sun on a wonderful afternoon of plus 20 degree weather enjoying the friendship and a lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers. Janine Marklinger said “this is one of the best days I’ve had in a long time, just being outside on such a beautiful day with friends
who did the welding, and Jason Riedel who guided us through the directions. “Now the children of the Village and visitors to Roche Percee have an improved play park and for that we are grateful,” Harley & Theresa Jahn said of the event, Mayor Jim Bragg expressed his gratitude to everyone, saying how this act of working together is symbolic of community spirit. He thanked everyone for their contribution of time energy and resources to complete the project. The new equipment
and meeting new neighbours makes it very special”. Josh Klassen, a new father of a month old baby boy said he was pleased to volunteer. “This is like paying back to the community and I am sure my son will one day enjoy this,” he said. No one asked for any recognition. All who were involved did so giving freely of their time and energy. It took hours of labour from community members, however, all agree we could not have done the job we did without the skill and expertise of Billy Campbell,
structures are replacing ones that were destroyed in the June 2011 flood. The funding for the equipment was provided by the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP). This event was initiated by the Roche Percee Recreation Board (RPRB) that takes the leadership in planning and organizing sport, recreation and cultural events for the village. The Village lost their community hall in the 2011 flood, however, plans are underway to meet with the community to discuss options of replacing a hall.

Emergency Preparedness Week recognized in Saskatchewan You can never be too prepared. That is the message behind Emergency Preparedness Week in Saskatchewan, which runs from May 3 to 9. “All Saskatchewan families need to take the time to plan for emergencies -- what you need and where you will go in the event of a flood, fire, or storm,” Provincial Fire Commissioner Duane McKay said in a press release. “Putting together
a plan for your home only takes a few hours but can save lives.” Families are encouraged to prepare a basic and accessible kit, which holds supplies that should last 72 hours. Family kits should include: • bottled water • flashlight, radio and batteries • first-aid kit • non-perishable food and a manual can opener
prescriptions, medications and medical documents • cash • information such as your home’s floor plan, location of emergency exits, a meeting area, up-to-date contact information and health card information For more information about preparing a 72 hour kit visit the Government of Canada’s “Get Prepared” website at www.getprepared. gc.ca.
Emergency Management organizations across the country also suggest once a plan for your family is ready, which includes a 72-hour kit, an adequately prepared kit for pets should be organized as well. “When disaster strikes, the same rules that apply to people apply to pets,” Regina Humane Society Executive Director Lisa Koch noted. “Preparation makes all the difference and if it’s not
safe for you, it’s not safe for them. Having supplies and a plan before a disaster will give you peace of mind, save precious time and maybe even your pet’s life.” Pet kits should include: • Leashes, harnesses, and pet carriers • Blanket • non-perishable pet food, and bowls • water • toys Details about preparing
to care for a pet during an emergency can be found at www.reginahumanesociety. ca/ under pet care. In April 2015, the Government of Saskatchewan implemented SaskAlert, Saskatchewan’s only provincewide emergency public alerting system. In the event of an emergency, visit www.SaskAlert. ca to receive up-to-date information on developing situations.

Movies of Yore - 2003
Page 9
Anger Management – The star-studded cast, which includes Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler, doesn’t deliver much more than amusing nonsense for the majority of the film, but Nicholson’s performance is so consistently weird and over the top, it ends up being just enough to keep you laughing throughout the movie. What a girl wants – Amanda Bynes stars in this harmless movie about a teenage girl in the process of discovering what she wants to do in life. There’s not much more to say, other than it’s not really fun or unique, and completely predictable. The Matrix Reloaded – The movie takes a giant step forward over its predecessor in terms of visual effects and over-the-top action, but the plot is stretched thin, patched with unnecessary fight scenes that often pack plenty of dazzle but no substance.

Looking to numb a lasting pain Isolation common among people with a missing person in their lives By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
Some may have experienced this type of pain for a few minutes, but when it lasts for long time, the effects become more intense. “For parents I often say, think about suddenly losing your child for two minutes at the mall,” said Sylvia Keall, program consultant for families of missing persons and counsellor at the Greystone Bereavement Centre in Regina. “That fear, that’s the kind of state of mind these people live with all the time, and it’s pretty draining.” The resulting pain is a combination of frustration and guilt, Keall said, as she spoke with the Trader a few days prior to Missing
Persons’ Week in Saskatchewan, which is from May 3 to 9. In an attempt to help friends and family who have to deal with that pain everyday, Keall looked into counselling options she could potentially offer the public. During the early stages of the support centre’s evolution in 2014, Keall interviewed several families to see if there was enough interest for counselling those with a missing person in their lives. The result was an overwhelming yes, according to Keall. “They all seemed to just want virtually anything. They were really desperate for some counselling sup-
port,” she said. After retiring from her post as palliative coordinator for the Five Hills Health Region, Keall joined the Greystone Bereavement Centre. Following a partnership deal between Regina Palliative Care and the Ministry of Justice Victims Services branch, she submitted a background document on missing persons that highlighted various counselling needs people dealing with this scenario would require. Keall was given the green light to proceed, and in December 2014, she began to offer counselling support out of the Greystone Bereavement Centre. She discovered during her many conversations with clients, whom she can meet

at specified locations outside of the centre or at the centre itself, the situations were different across the board, but their feelings were nearly identical. Clients began to feel isolated as time went on with no news regarding the missing person in their lives available, their friends begin to find it difficult to provide meaningful support and drift
coming out of the woodwork to look for this person,” Zentner said. Time, however, slowly drains the hope away, but even then the community rallies together to reignite the search on occasion. “As our missing people continue to be missing for an extended period of time, I wouldn’t say the community forgets about them, but
‘They all seemed to just want virtually anything. They were really desperate for some counselling support.’ - Sylvia Keall away as a result. “It’s very hard to get on with their life,” Keall said about her clients, adding the validation of a death would, at least, put their mind at ease. The acknowledged support from the community and local law enforcement, however, is also a common theme with her clients. “They always mention how the community helped with their financial matters, making posters and providing emotional support,” Keall said. Sgt. Robin Zentner of the RCMP historical cases unit, agreed with the notion that the community response during missing persons cases is “incredible.” “You have volunteers

it potentially gets to a point where that missing person is brought back to the forefront through anniversaries or a special event,” Zentner said. For members of law enforcement, like Zentner, who are heavily involved with missing persons cases on a regular basis, the frustration increases as weeks, months, and, at times, years go by without any breakthroughs. Close relationships form between officers and the missing person’s family during this time, and the frustration is taken to another level when a missing person case becomes a homicide case. “In other cases where there are elements of suspicion, like the Courtney Struble case and others that we have, we know, for a fact, that there are people out there with information, but for a variety of reasons, that information does not make it to police,” Zentner said. Courtney, who would now be 23, went missing in the early morning hours of July 9, 2004, after watching some movies with friends at the Estevan Veterinary Clinic. Her friends offered her a ride home just after
midnight, but she decided to walk. She never made it home and has not been seen since. The case began as a missing person investigation, but by 2009, investigators believed that Courtney had been murdered. Over the course of an investigation like Struble’s, the family often has to deal with rumours, speculation, and even lies, regarding the missing person in their lives, Zentner said. These instances can trigger feelings of guilt and pain among family and friends, Keall said, causing them to relapse and isolate themselves, once again, from others who may want to help. Other triggers include songs on the radio that have a meaningful connection to the missing person, pictures and even words, Keall said. The media appears to be the most difficult triggering mechanism to deal with for families, she said, as verified information comes forward, adding to the existing pressures coming from rumours and speculation. It’s a delicate scenario to be involved in, admitted Keall, though she is learning something new every day. “I was fortunate enough to go to some training session in the States to help me gain a better appreciation for what they’re going through and help them, but I am, by no means, an expert, and I learn the most from the people who are going through the experiences themselves,” she said. Zentner reminded the public that the search for a missing person begins immediately once it’s brought to the police’s attention, and that anyone with information regarding a missing person should call police right away. There are currently 123 long-term missing persons in Saskatchewan.

Time for a suspicious-weed take down Submitted by the Canola Council of Canada Ready for some detective work? The first few weeks of the growing season is a great time to police fields for suspicious weeds. Look for weeds that lived through the pre-seed burnoff or post-emergent sprays while others of the same species have died. These few weeds could be resistant to one or more herbicide groups, and it would be good to nab them early. “It takes 14-21 days after a pre-seed glyphosate application for glyphosateresistant kochia to become obvious, so keep an eye out while seeding or during incrop herbicide applications,” says Angela Brackenreed, agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada. Kochia is a hot topic. It is the first weed on the Prairies with known resistance to glyphosate. But kochia is far from the only herbicide-resistant weed to watch for. The website www. weedscience.org reports 21 different weeds with herbicide resistance in the Canadian Prairies, many of them with Group 1 or Group 2 resistance or both. Wild oats with stacked resistance were detected 20 years ago, and some have resistance to Groups 1, 2, 8 and 25. Hugh Beckie, research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Saskatoon, estimates that
herbicide-resistant weeds cost growers $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion per year. “This is based on a grower management questionnaire in which growers identify yield or crop quality losses and additional herbicide costs associated with these weeds,” he says. “Without management, these weeds will continue to spread and the effect on grower profits will only get worse,” Beckie says. The number of weeds with resistance continues to expand, as does the territory with resistant weeds. Beckie estimates that the number of acres on the Prairies with at least one resistant weed has gone from 10.9 million in the early 2000s to 38.0 million in 2014.And his research shows that cleavers is one of the next most likely weeds to develop glyphosate resistance. Fortunately, effective management strategies are available to prevent any type of resistance from occurring in the first place and to contain it once it does occur. “We don’t want growers to throw up their hands and give up. This is a manageable situation,” Brackenreed says. “It starts with paying attention to weed patches and any performance issues that raise suspicion, then marking those spots and using integrated management tools to keep them contained or, ideally, remove them entirely.” How to prevent herbicide resistance Diversification is at the root of prevention. “The
key is to outsmart weeds by applying different products, using them at different times of the year, and using crop rotation — including winter crops that provide cover and competition in the fall and spring,” Brackenreed says. The following tactics are most effective when used in combination:
in crop in Roundup Ready crops, the selection pressure for glyphosate-resistant weeds is very high. Use crop rotation to your advantage. Crop rotation allows for a wider range of herbicide groups. “While cleavers tend to be a bigger concern in canola crops, growers have more
Use tank mixes. Hitting weeds with two modes of action reduces the risk of selecting for resistance, or having herbicide resistant weeds escape and set seed. Tanking mixing carfentrazone with pre-seed glyphosate applications will prevent the development or escape of glyphosate-resistant kochia,

Pre-seed burnoff and early in-crop applications also limit weed competition and improve crop yields. Rotate herbicide groups. Use a variety of herbicide groups (modes of action) through the whole crop rotation. If weed management depends on glyphosate in the pre-seed and postharvest windows as well as
options to effectively control cleavers in cereal crops,” Brackenreed says, giving just one example. Growing crops with different seeding and harvest timing — such as winter cereals and perennial forage crops — also diversifies weed removal timing options and provides weed competition in fall and early spring.
for example. Use the right herbicide at the right rate and apply at the right time. Follow labels for timing, ideal spraying conditions, controlled weeds and correct rates. Cutting rates, for example, may reduce herbicide efficacy and increase weed seed return to the soil seed bank. Control weeds
throughout the season. Spraying pre-harvest can reduce the weed seed bank for escaped patches, and spraying in the fall can be highly effective for perennials and winter annuals. Use integrated weed management (IWM). IWM includes seeding practices to improve crop competitiveness — such as higher seeding rates, shallow seeding depth, narrow row spacing and high quality seed. Placing fertilizer closer to the seed and using insect and disease protection when necessary will also improve crop competitiveness. Later seeding dates allow control of early weeds in the pre-seed window. Tillage and spot mowing to prevent seed set are mechanical alternatives. “These techniques reduce the reliance on herbicides, which will actually improve results from herbicides and keep more herbicides working on the farm,” Brackenreed says. For more on weed management, see the weeds section in the Canola Encyclopedia at www.canolacouncil. org/canola-encyclopedia. For other things to look for while scouting early in the season, go to www.canolawatch.org and search for the article, “The critical first 21 days.” While at the site, consider signing up to receive the free weekly Canola Watch agronomy email.

New system improving record keeping Saskatchewan patients and health providers are experiencing a new electronic integrated public health information system called Panorama. The new system, which allows public health care providers to manage vaccine inventories and immunizations, was officially launched by rural and remote health minister Greg Ottenbreit and representatives from eHealth
Saskatchewan and Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region on May 5. “Introducing this modern system is part of our ongoing efforts to deliver health services to our residents in a more efficient, streamlined and co-ordinated manne,” Ottenbreit said in a press release. The vaccine inventory module of Panorama was implemented in March 2014 and the immunizations module in
February 2015. The new system offers each person who receives public health services in Saskatchewan a single, confidential client record, no matter where they receive those services in the province. In the future, Panorama will have three additional modules: communicable disease investigations, communicable disease outbreaks, and family health. When fully imple-
mented, Panorama will replace two aging provincial public health systems (the Saskatchewan Immunization Management System and the integrated Public Health Information System). Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region Medical Health Officer, Population and Public Health Services Dr. Tania Diener noted, “Panorama is a tool that helps public health do their job by providing a
complete record of vaccines provided in Saskatchewan.” “Panorama can be accessed by public health wherever a client presents and allows for more timely care,” Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region Population and Public Health Services, Public Health Nursing Manager Morag Granger said. “It also assists staff in determining immunizations the clients are due for, as well as future immunizations.”
Saskatchewan’s Panorama is part of the pan-Canadian Panorama initiative funded through Canada Health Infoway. Five other jurisdictions are in the process of implementing Panorama, including Quebec, British Columbia, Yukon, Ontario and Manitoba. More information on the province’s Panorama is available at www.ehealthsask.ca/ panorama.
Wine, coolers, growing in popularity Saskatchewan loves its wine more this year, according to Statistics Canada. A recently released report on May 4 says Saskatchewan posted the second highest growth in wine sales during the year ending March 21, 2014, with 6.4 per cent. Newfoundland and Labrador had the highest growth rate, at 9.1 per cent. Saskatchewan also enjoys coolers, according
Be
to the same report. Among the provinces and territories, ciders, coolers and other refreshment beverages (CCORB) sales had the greatest market share in Saskatchewan, with a 22.5 per cent market share. Alberta comes in second, with 21.2 per cent. The average annual growth rate of CCORB sales over the last 10 years in Canada is 4.2 per cent.
Than the rest! Marketing ideas that stand out.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 2015
Drilling activity to hit new lows By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
Following several years of a booming oil industry, companies are preparing to survive a period of prolonged price lows. The Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) released an update to their expected drilling activity numbers last week, and the forecast cuts the projected wells to be drilled by about 30 per cent. PSAC’s original forecast was released in October, before any sustained dip in oil prices had occurred. An updated forecast in January projected a 24 per cent decrease in expected drilling activity. Mark Salkeld, PSAC president and CEO, said they
thought the January forecast would be about as low as the drilling activity would go. Judging by this latest forecast, he said, they were wrong. “We were caught off guard,” said Salkeld. “This is low.” On a provincial basis, PSAC now estimates 2,976 wells to be drilled in Alberta, which is about half the 5,740 wells expected in the original forecast. In Saskatchewan, the expected well count is now 1,507 wells, only 44 per cent of the 3,365 wells in the original forecast. Salkeld said the more significant drop in Saskatchewan isn’t necessarily indicative of an even less attractive drilling atmosphere than in Alberta. “That’s how the numbers
are playing out. In Saskatchewan, the producers … have been working hard to get railcar-loading capacity and they’ve got access to refineries in the northern United States and other areas. That’s a bit of a sustainable piece to it, but when it comes all in, we’re all in the same boat.” Manitoba is forecasted to drill 270 wells, down by 160. British Columbia, on the other hand, is expected to have a marginal increase, from 555 wells to 560 wells. PSAC based its updated forecasts on average natural gas prices of $2.50/mcf (AECO), crude oil prices of US $53/barrel (WTI) and the Canadian dollar averaging $0.77 per US dollar. Salkeld told the audience at the forecast presentation in Calgary last week, the last
time he saw a drilling forecast predicting only 5,000 wells across the country was 1992. “The number of holes being punched is right down there with the early 90s,” Salkeld told the Mercury during a phone interview, shortly after his presentation. Now, companies must try to survive long enough to be around until a better situation arises. “It’s all stops pulled with regards to strategizing on how to survive. The weaker (companies) that were just getting established or their debt wasn’t managed right – I’m not sure and can’t say – those weaker ones are already closed, service providers and junior to mid-sized producers. “The big guys, this is a blip in the radar because they’ve got 25-year plans, so

they just ride it out.” But he did hear what he called “positive” talk around the tables at last week’s forecast announcement. “It sounds like, if it pans out to be true and nothing changes, there are companies that are just waiting for road bans to come off, and they’ve got contracts to move their equipment as soon as they can. It will be interesting to see if that pans out.” Though they aren’t the only ones making predictions, PSAC takes forecasting seriously, and Salkeld called it a robust process. Still, a forecast is only a guess as to what will happen in the future. The first 2015 forecast in October estimated about 10,000 wells, which at the time seemed reasonable. “There were hints – well, there weren’t even really hints – just whispers of something, but nothing that anybody was taking seriously from our perspective, until we got into January. Then it was like, holy cow, something is happening here.” Even at that time, they waited to get the final numbers from 2014 before completing the January forecast. It’s not just the price of oil that may cause hesitancy in drilling activity. Oil supply has been outpacing demand and production isn’t expected to decrease at all.

In some cases, production is increasing. “In a lot of cases, producers, oilsands in particular, are reporting increased production. That’s the well optimization piece, and that’s part of the factor. Oilsands, they’ve scaled back on their drilling activity, and they’re focusing on well optimization and production optimization. At this point in time, rig activity has dropped off, but production activity is going up,” said Salkeld. “But that is going to come around, especially with the new types of wells we’re drilling. There’s lots of experimentation to improve the decline rates, but right now, when we drill these long horizontals and they produce like gangbusters for a year, then the decline rates kick in and it drops off, we just have to keep drilling more wells.” Given more time, he said that will “balance out” and production rates will drop. But there was some optimism in the room when Salkeld delivered the forecast. It wasn’t coming from the numbers, but instead from some of the industry stalwarts. “A lot of our members have been around for 30 years. This isn’t our first downturn. They know how to weather the storm,” Salkeld said. Things will turn around. The question is when.

Beginning Monday, June 01, 2015 and continuing to Friday, September 11, 2015, the Public Works Services Division will be carrying out a Domestic Sewer Main High Pressure Jetting Program between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Please ensure that all drains in bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and other lower level areas have been recently used, so the p-traps are full of water – this offers the best barrier to offensive sewer main gases year-round. During this important maintenance program, residents and businesses are advised to securely cap basement floor drains. If a strong sewer odour is detected, please open doors and/or windows and allow the building to vent for a while. If opening the building doesn’t clear the odour, please advise us by calling City Hall at 306-634-1800. The 2015 Program Area will encompass many Streets and Avenues South of King Street and West of Souris Avenue within City limits including: 8th Street 17th Avenue Souris Avenue 9th Street 18th Avenue Valley Street 1st Street Young Street 19th Avenue Westview Place 2nd Street 10th Avenue Rattray Place 2nd Street A 11th Avenue 3rd Street 12th Avenue 4th Street 13th Avenue 5th Street 14th Avenue 6th Street 15th Avenue 7th Street 16th Avenue
