Coming down the tracks . . . Paul Simon said, “There’s something about the sound of a train that’s very romantic and nostalgic and hopeful.” Photographer Kevin Brautigam captured this CN train rolling down the tracks near Biggar one day. Trains have been a large part of life in Biggar but it’s not often residents take time to really stop and listen. (Independent photo by Kevin Brautigam)

It’s burger time . . . The volunteers at Biggar Museum and Gallery provided lunch on Friday, August 11 in the form of the popular hamburger barbecue. There were quite a few who came out to enjoy some visiting with neighbours. Of course, after feasting on a hamburger with onions, cheese and trimmings,

there were pies and other goodies for dessert. And, maybe some popped in to the Museum to see what was happening this week. (Independent photo by Kevin Brautigam)

speed. Saskatoon Police Service’s Air Support Unit heard what was taking place and offered to assist. The truck was located and followed into Saskatoon by the Air Support Unit until Saskatoon Police Service Patrol members stopped it. It

Get involved, make a difference Actions have consequences, first rule Holly Lisle is the author of this quote and there have been a number of actions in the news that are leading to consequences. Premier Brad Wall announced his retirement and that set off a string of events. Now, the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP are in the middle of leadership races. At the time of this writing there has only been one candidate to make an official announcement for the Sask Party but there are many more that may throw their hats in the ring. This could be an exciting time for the Party with a clear debate on the future. Premier Wall pointed to an opportunity for rejuvenation. So any candidate should have a clear platform on what this rejuvenation will look like. Will it entail policy changes, changes in senior management positions or what? Likewise the NDP are finding themselves in the position of choosing a new leader. One could say that it is also necessary for this party to rejuvenate itself. While the process for choosing a leader is longer, candidates must look to grassroots if they want to form government next election. This is a chance for supporters of whatever party you support to shape the future of, not only a political party, but the province. Remember, the second part of the above quote is . . . And the second rule is this -- you are the only one responsible for your own actions. P.H.

Canada’s economic growth: is this as good as it gets? by Glen Hodgson, Senior Fellow, Conference Board of Canada The Canadian economy is finally performing well after two years of mediocrity. Economic growth is much more positive and widespread. Jobs are being created across much of the economy and unemployment has fallen. Canadians should enjoy this level of performance while it lasts – since there are many reasons why it won’t last. First, the good news. The Conference Board of Canada recently raised its 2017 growth forecast for the Canadian economy to 2.6 per cent, which the IMF corroborated by raising its own 2017 forecast for Canada. Statistics Canada just reported second-quarter growth of 4.6 per cent annualized, and the economy has expanded by four per cent since this time last year. The Alberta economy has rebounded sharply, while growth in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and most other provinces remains solid. Newfoundland and Labrador is the exception, with the provincial economy expected to contract for a second consecutive year. As growth picks up, North America is shifting into a rising-interest-rate environment, with the Bank of Canada recently raising its key interest rate. A turn toward more normal monetary

conditions is a healthy sign, since it means the economy is now able to stand and grow on its own legs. The long, exceptional period of dependence on what we have called “financial morphine” is coming to an end. Now for the “sober economist” part. There are numerous signs that things are not quite as good as they seem. Economic realism needs to be applied in the thinking, planning and operations of business and government. Start with Canadian private investment. Growth has been feeble for most of the past five years, and has contracted for the past two years. This reality is a terrible sign for long-term productivity growth and competitiveness. Without a bounce in private investment, the consumer and government spending can carry the economy for only so long. The Conference Board expects modest growth in private investment in 2017, but business confidence is not robust and there is little strong private investment rebound in sight. Commodity prices have increased slightly, but there are few expectations of a sharp improvement. With ample new global oil supply from the United States, Russia and OPEC members ready to come on stream, oil prices in particular seem to be range-bound

In addition to current frictions, structural forces are at play. Long-term potential growth has faded to around 2 per cent annually in Canada. Demographics are the key factor, since an aging population means much slower labour-force growth. We project the Canadian labour force to grow at about 0.5 per cent annually in the coming decade, half the rate experienced in the past. Potential growth is also declining in the United States, China and many other major economics. An active immigration policy in Canada can help to replenish the work force, but even 250,000 skilled immigrants a year can’t fill all the expected holes in the labour market. Stronger productivity growth would also help offset negative demographic forces, but Canada’s track record is dismal. Moreover, the transition to a low-carbon economy has begun globally; Canadian policy makers and businesses are at an early stage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions without impairing economic growth. All of these current and structural factors point to a slower-growth world in 2018 and in the decades ahead. Canadians should enjoy a robust 2017 economy as a 150th birthday present – since this is as good as it gets.

around $50 (U.S.) a barrel. A slow recovery in commodity prices will continue to be a drag on resource-sector investment. Furthermore, the external environment is not as supportive as hoped. The U.S. growth forecast is less robust than initially projected. Because of a growing realization that there will be no Trump growth miracle, combined with rising interest rates in Canada, the loonie has climbed by 10 per cent against the greenback. While the currency movement is good for consumers, it dampens export growth to the United States. There are also sticks in the spokes of international trade and investment. The successful Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union is a reason to feel more confident about new, more diversified trade opportunities. But the coming North American freetrade agreement negotiations, and the protectionist attitude of the Trump administration, add uncertainty for many Canadian exporters. Will we be able to maintain and even improve market access to the United States? The answer is “wait and see,” which is hardly good for business confidence.

Bits and Pieces Quite a few years ago, one of Cominco’s anniversary projects was to print a book of verse, written by one of its employees, and because they couldn’t find the worker’s name in in either “Who’s Who!” or on the “Most Wanted” list, personnel said “OK!”. The “employee”, (whose name will remain unmentioned) rounded up quite a few verses he had written over the years, and sent them in. And some of the pieces were quite passable (at least to him!). There were quite a other lines however, which meant something to him, but didn’t seem to be going anywhere. So, rather than throw those small comments out, he just scrawled them in between the printed ones! Surely, over the years, someone has read the ones that were printed, but often Y.T. wonders if those little versified comments in between have ever even been seen! Trying to claim innocence from any literary ambition people may think this “employee” had, he slyly inserted lines like this, People have to read, they don’t have to know my stuff! For these verses are all that I need to remember, and more than enough! Though to others they might appear just a silly attempt at a rhyme Each word that is scribbled in here, is a written account of my time! For what can be more sincere, more true of success or strife Then to know that when they appear, each word is part of my life! Sure that little yellow book had a few

complete pieces, that told of places where the writer had been, but it didn’t tell of those other times from way, way back. The moon is rising slowly past the poplar studded slope. My campfire beams its message to the night. The darkness drops its curtain, and like a moth I grope To flutter in its madness round the light. We were just young fellows then and things really impressed us, even campfires. The lonesome moon comes slowly from the last Herding the silent clouds across the sky My campfire glows, its happiness released Making us feel content my world and I. Mebbe our animals are mostly gone but our memory of them hasn’t! The coyotes cry reechoes from the hill, like the far-off ringing of some forgotten bell. And though this might sound a little silly, even the solitude of the hills and river got to us. Up in the heart of the Bend, where the North Saskatchewan flows Is a place where my dreams are panned, on an island that nobody knows. I know that most of us (Y.T. included) like a story or poem with a complete

chain of thought, and a dramatic ending like I see that souvenir somehow, and thinking back about it now, - I’m glad I left it there! Or that bit at the end of “The Old School” I knew that the dreams of my springtime had come to an end at last, And I left that stump of the Old School hidden among the trees! WWII made a great impression on all of us who were around at that time, and a lot of Y.T.’s memories of it were jotted down on scrape of paper he found here and there. “Let others tell their bit of war and fear. I had my moment at Kapelsche Veer!”

“I shifted my helmet back on my head, and my shovel onto my shoulder. Bob Mason The sunset sky was a flaming red, and already the night was colder!” The gray horizon thrust its dismal belly to the skies And there about a mile away we saw the towers rise. A quiet breeze was blowing, and the raindrops spattered down To gleam upon the cobblestones of that old German town. So we sat that moment of far-off fame, and the hours paraded by. And, as each dreadful moment came, we watched our comrades die! Do you think that we failed in a mission done; Come short of the goal we swore, When we took our oath that the war wed won was the war to end all war? There seems to be a space with few notes in it, after the war. And mebbe it was because we thought of little else for a while! But soon some started to appear again like this one about one of my young friends A lovely rose that chose to grow those years ago - and then it died! Even some explanations. Forgive me if sometimes it seems I’m short on fact and long on dreams. After Y.T. got thrown for a loss by polio, the family bought him a typewriter. Sometimes it seems to be years before I sit down to write, And sometimes a verse appears on my typewriter overnight! I’m not sure what John Donne (or even Mr. Plato) think of the following, but here it is anyway!

Every life is an island, apart from the ones around, And every person a wanderer, on a certain amount of ground! So, we’re up at the lake. The cloudlit skies grow purple, with windswept haze of June The whitecaps sweep to lash the sandy shore. Kind of poetic, eh? But then writers feel that they have to write! There was a time when people’s worth, was guided by their love of earth Their love of people, and the way they lived their lives day after day! Philosophy, again! Surely, that old guy knows something else! I am a farmer at heart, I live by the blood of the soil I value my job as an art, like writing, or painting in oil! And a whole lot of self-criticism: I stare and stare awhile - and then I start to prod this lazy pen. I’ve cheated myself at writing, by marking these missiles down Planning somehow to finish them up on some future day. Yet here I sit at my table. Somewhere there are poor notations, somewhere a space unused Often alliterations that are (at their best) confused I’ve often sit and thought and planned, before these pages pen in hand And often inspiration makes the very best of bad mistakes! But there were better times I want to live forever, but I don’t see how I can, and dying’s kind of easy anyway. So I guess I’ll live my life out much as any other man Throw in the towel - and then be on my way! “Way” and “anyway” rhyme? I did say these lines were culled, eh? We ended up on a good note though This is my castle on my vast estate, a momentum as silent as past years. The road is rutted by our pasture gate, but still I love my privacy - and tears. And finally (Oh’, eh?), a little more of this “Good Guy” stuff! Sometimes I think that one could say I’ve written quite a bit And I’ll be glad if someone’s day is bright because of it! None of these little bits and pieces were ever meant to be published (and mebbe they shouldn’t have been!) but Y.T. often wonders how many millions of pieces like them have been entered into the notebooks and minds of the world!

Drones expected to play significant role in agriculture by Calvin Daniels Agriculture is one of the business sectors where drone technology is expected to play a significant role. While that is an expectation two things need to occur. The first is the associated tech which can utilize the variety of data a drone can be utilized to collect. And, the second of course is the development of skills required to use a drone skillfully. In the case of the latter requirement a new certification course at Brandon University, (BU), could help in terms of learning how to use a drone. Students and members

of the public who are fascinated by the unmanned aerial vehicles can register for a university-credit course that will teach them everything they need to know to safely and legally fly the popular and useful airborne vehicles, detailed a BU release. “Drones are really fun to fly, and a lot of hobbyists fly them for pure enjoyment,” said BU Geography professor Dr. Dion Wiseman in the release. “For geographers and for many others, they are also important tools that can capture photos and other data to provide incredibly detailed information that’s difficult or impossible to gather in any

Existing rules exempt people who fly drones recreationally, while the proposed new rules will require everyone at the controls of a drone to have completed a ground school course like the one being offered at BU. To help meet expected wide demand for the training, the course will be fully available online. The online access will be of great help for farm producers.

Understand “readvanceable mortgages” when house hunting by News Canada You’ve saved up a 20 per cent down payment and are eager to get into the real estate market. For the remaining amount, it’s likely your bank will offer you a readvanceable mortgage. But should you take it? This popular product, marketed under different names from one bank to another, combines term mortgages with home equity lines of credit. Like a credit card, the amount of money available in your line of credit decreases as you borrow and increases as you pay it back. Your credit limit may also increase automatically as you pay down your mortgage. Some lenders bundle other financial

products like car loans or credit cards together under a readvanceable mortgage, typically at an attractive interest rate. At first glance, this may seem appealing. But keep in mind any applicable fees and the risks of tying different credit products together before signing on the dotted line. Readvanceable mortgages make it more complicated and expensive to switch lenders to get a better interest rate when your mortgage is up for renewal. You may need to repay all credit products tied together under the readvanceable mortgage. And because it’s secured by a collateral charge against your home, there are additional legal fees

you wouldn’t incur when moving a traditional mortgage. “Lenders can demand that you repay your home equity line of credit, lower your credit limit or increase your interest rate at any time,” cautions Lucie Tedesco, commissioner of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. “This would impact all credit products bundled together in your readvanceable mortgage.” Remember that a home equity line of credit is secured using your home as collateral - meaning if you can’t pay back the money you owe, your lender can take possession of it.

2018 Olympics: Ovechkin VS. NHL showdown looms With National Hockey League training camps set to open in a couple of weeks, it’s a good reminder about the biggest battle shaping up this season: Alex Ovechkin vs. the NHL hierarchy. Ovechkin wants to play in the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. He is adamant in saying he will play in the Olympics. His owner, Washington Capitals’ Ted Leonsis, says it’s OK by him. So what’s the problem? Gary Bettman and Bill Daly, that’s the problem. The two-headed monster that runs the NHL (Bettman is commissioner; Daly the deputy commissioner) says under no circumstances will any NHL player be allowed to leave his team in midseason to play in the Olympics Feb. 9-25. And that’s that. Well, we’ll see. Ovechkin told Russia Sports-Express in early August he still plans to play, with full realization that it goes against the wishes of the league.

Leonsis says the Caps would survive without Ovechkin’s services for nine games, but the NHL stance, of course, is that it owes it to its fans to provide the best players at all time. Connor McDavid, the new face of the NHL, has said he’s disappointed that the NHL won’t allow its players to take part in the Olympics, but he hasn’t yet acquired the status of an Ovechkin — nor does he have the will — to stage a showdown against the NHL bosses. The NHL could possibly suspend Ovechkin for his iron will, further exerting its power to show who’s the boss. Would Ovechkin willingly lose nine games of his salary in a special deal with his owner, plus risk a 10- or 20-game suspension by the league? Considering he’s scheduled to earn $10 million this year, that could be a $3 or $4 million hit. All for the love of his country. The NHL might win this battle of wills — it’s too bad, because in the

Garrett Hawkins helped Team Saskatchewan get on the podium in Men’s Baseball at the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg, making him the first West Central athlete to win a gold medal so far this year. Hawkins, a Biggar native, stands at 6 feet and 5 inches tall, and was mainly used as a pitcher throughout the tournament. Hawkins started in a key round robin game against Team Quebec and threw five strong innings to help get a 4-2 victory.

Team Saskatchewan was placed in the top tier pool in this year’s Summer Games and played a double round robin against Alberta, Quebec and British Columbia. Interesting enough, Team Sask was able to beat all three teams in their pool once, as well as lose to every team in their pool the same amount. Standing at 3 wins and 3 losses after round robin, Team Saskatchewan found themselves in second place which booked them an automatic spot to the semi-finals. In the semi-final matchup, Team Saskatchewan faced off against Team Ontario where the boys in the prairies got out in-front early and then used great pitching and excellent defense to propel themselves to a 7-0 win. The win would guarantee a spot on the podium, and a contest against

Team Manitoba for the Gold Medal. Team Manitoba went into the Gold Medal Game with a perfect record of 6 wins and 0 losses, and came off an incredible win against Team Alberta in a pitching duel that ended 1-0 in favor of the host province. In the Gold Medal Game, Saskatchewan scored two runs early in the bottom of the third inning before Manitoba cut the lead in half to make it 2-1. Saskatchewan added another run in the bottom of the sixth inning to add some insurance before shutting the door in the top of the seventh. Hawkins and Team Saskatchewan finished off the tournament with five wins and three losses, and played their best baseball when it truly mattered. Saskatchewan currently has won four gold medals at the Summer Games.

Doreen’s Discount Day @ Leslie’s Drugstore Biggar • 306-948-3397

by News Canada It’s never too early to teach your child how to be a good citizen, whether that means getting involved in their school, in the local community or on a global scale. With back-to-school season around the corner, consider taking some time to show them the responsibilities they have, as well as their rights. 1.) Talk to them about why community service is important. In addition to helping out people who might need it, encouraging your child to volunteer their time can help build a sense of responsibility, compassion and leadership. 2.) Discuss government mechanics and the right to vote. The more you participate in your own civic duties, the more likely your kids are to follow suit. Describe the different roles of the federal, provincial, and municipal

government, and how the election process works for each. Encourage them to participate in their own student government and, when possible, take them with you when you cast your vote. 3.) Talk to kids about human rights in a way that is relatable. Some volunteerwork, especially when it comes to activism, fund raising or spreading awareness for different causes, can raise questions for kids. Talk to them about freedom of religion, thought, and expression with examples of how they can relate. For example, how do they and their friends celebrate different religious holidays. By teaching our children about their human rights, we ensure they will grow in their knowledge of themselves as human beings, respectful of each other’s dignity and their capacity for self-expression.

did for 14 seasons. He loved being out there early every morning cutting grass. Ted was also well known for being up and about early every morning driving around town checking things out, then opening up the Chicken Corral for coffee and then later at Kelly’s for coffee with the guys. Ted was a real cowboy right from an early age. Always rode and loved his horses and met and made many friends when he took up team roping. His passion for golf became a family affair with his wife Jo and his son Cory joining in the fun. Camping and fishing fills many of the family memories with Ted, our gentle giant providing leadership. Even facing down the odd bear in the early morning. Ted met Jo in 1964 when she was in Biggar as part of her nurses training. Ted married Jo on December 29, 1965 in Nipawin, Sask. They lived in Saskatoon for a short while, spent a year in Leduc, Alta. in 1967 and from then on have resided in Biggar. They lost their first son, Joseph Ted, in 1967 in Leduc. Their second son, Cory, was born in Biggar in 1968 and continues to reside in Biggar as well. Ted became very ill in 2013, and unfortunately the last few years Ted’s health was not good and restricted many of the activities that he had previously enjoyed. Ted is survived by his loving wife, Josephine (LeJan); son, Cory and his wife Lorie and two grandchildren, Amy and Tanner, that he truly loved and enjoyed; siblings, Marion Ellis, Bill, Jim (Gerri), and Faye (Chuck) Hallberg; as well as numerous nieces and nephews; extended family and friends.
