Sports Hall of Fame coming to Biggar, Sept. 1

The Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame will be in Biggar, September 1 with their mobile exhibit celebrating the best of Saskatchewan athleticism. (Submitted Photo)

A travelling exhibit celebrating 50 years of the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame will be in Biggar this Thursday, September 1. The exhibit will feature the very best of Saskatchewan athletics, with some recognizable faces and some that may surprise, from the varied history of sports in our province. Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame Executive Director, Sheila Kelly, says the exhibit gives people outside of Regina - home of the Sports Hall of Fame - an opportunity to see the incredible athletes of this province. Biggar was chosen, partly due to an inductee: Biggar’s own, Sandra Schmirler. “Given that it’s Biggar, obviously we have a little bit of Sandra Schmirler represented in the exhibit, along with her teammates.” The Hall wanted to take on the road a small retrospective of their honoured athletes. With

505 inductees, the oneday exhibit in Biggar will represent a sizable portion. “Unfortunately we can’t represent them all, so about 200 of our actual inductees are represented on the wall, in images, a little bit of information about them, or through artifacts in the trailer,” she said. “We have focused on our athletes as opposed to our builders and teams. . . We’ve tried to include as many of the 51 sports that are currently represented in the Hall.” Covering 50 years in a travelling exhibit was no easy task. “It was huge,” Kelly laughed, “because it’s 50 years of “us” being in existence! But there’s easily more than 100 years of Saskatchewan sport represented in this. So, people may come to the tour with a preconceived notion of what they’re going to see.” Kelly says that people who have seen the current touring exhibit have

described it as “awesome!” The tour began June 30. It wraps up on the Labour Day weekend with more programspecific tours in September/October, starting the whole process once again next summer. Kelly said that it’s been a solid, busy tour. “The small towns and medium-sized communities have just been really great to us and it’s been a lot of fun,” adding that they learn things when on the road. “Some of the stories are printable, some of the stories, not so much!” she laughed. The travelling exhibit comes to Biggar this September 1, starting at around 11 a.m. at the corner of Main and Third Avenue East. It is free but donations are accepted.

4-14 accident sends two to hospital . . . On August 20 at 2:30 p.m., Biggar RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at the 4-14 intersection. Investigation revealed an SUV was stopped on Highway 14, waiting to tun left onto Main Street. The vehicle was struck from behind by a west bound vehicle. The drivers were the lone occupants of the vehicles. Biggar EMS and Fire responded. One driver was taken to Biggar Hospital for minor injuries. The other was airlifted by STARS to Saskatoon as a precaution and subsequently released. Road conditions and visibility were not a factor. Alcohol and drugs were not a factor. The driver of the vehicle that struck the SUV was charged for driving without due care and attention. The driver is under the age of 18 and is not from the Biggar area. RCMP remind motorists to please be attentive when driving. Distracted driving can have unfortunate consequences. (Independent Photo by Kevin Brautigam)

RCMP urge composure in wake of shooting death Tensions continue to mount following the shooting death of 22-year-old Colton Boushie, and RCMP are asking residents to use some common-sense when it comes to respect and social media. Saskatchewan RCMP continue to monitor the situation related to the events in the area, and assure people that the safety and security of the people of Saskatchewan is their number one priority. RCMP are warning, however, that comments made on social media about the incident could be criminal in nature. RCMP are asking everyone to remain respectful in the online communications. “We take all complaints very seriously and we encourage anyone with concerns to contact your local police service, local detachment, or call 310-RCMP,” a release issued by Saskatchewan RCMP stated. “IN emergency situations call 911. You can also call Crime Stoppers if you wish to remain anonymous.”

Explore options when it comes to SaskTel The sale of SaskTel has surfaced once again. Premier Wall says the government will consider the proposition if the circumstances are right. The NDP says it will fight the sale. When you consider the landscape of telecommunications across the country, SaskTel, once a giant, is now small potatoes. Following the sale of Manitoba’s telecom, SaskTel is the only small player left. So, is it too small to be effective? The CRTC regulates this industry. It recently released some pretty surprising figures regarding broadband internet coverage across the country. One look at the map on the website reveals some interesting results. Scroll over Saskatchewan and there are a number of red dotted areas which indicate unserved or underserved areas. Almost the entire province except for the areas around Saskatoon or Regina. Not so when scrolling over other provinces. This comes as no surprise to users in Saskatchewan. On any given day or place it is difficult and sometimes impossible to get coverage. Driving to Saskatoon, there are many “dead” spots. Heavens, I have even been in downtown Saskatoon and unable to access the internet. Those who like to visit the lakes in the summer know that very likely you should just leave your cell phones at home. There are some areas of the province that have access to Max, and upgraded cable and other options. But, for the majority of Saskatchewan residents who choose to live outside Saskatoon or Regina, those options do not exist. We are dependent on SaskTel and the basic coverage provided to us. One of the conditions of the sale of SaskTel would be that the new owner provide better coverage. That’s something most residents will agree on. P.H.

Brexit will affect Canada’s trade with Britain, but how? Glen Hodgson, Senior VicePresident and Chief Economist, Forecasting and Analysis, Conference Board of Canada Britain’s vote to leave the European Union has shaken up the country’s politics and government and shocked its trading partners. The new British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has said plainly that there is no turning back; the referendum results will be respected and Brexit will happen, in whatever specific form it eventually takes. If that’s the case, how might Canada deal with the coming Brexit? Let’s start with existing commercial relations. Investment in Britain is argu-

ably more important to Canadian businesses than exports to Britain. No doubt, Canada’s trade with Britain is material—it is our third-largest export market, with goods exports of $16-billion annually. But more importantly, Canadian firms have invested in Britain as a platform for sales into the EU and broader European markets. It follows that the redefinition of Britain’s trade policy relationship with Europe, and of course with Canada, will be of great interest to many Canadian firms. Britain may still be an easy entry point into Europe because of language, culture and historical relationships. But if unfettered

access to the EU market is lost for goods and services provided from Britain, Canadian firms would need to re-examine their business model for serving customers in Europe more broadly. Some might consider investing directly within the remaining EU states rather than in Britain as an entry platform; others may choose to rely more on exports from Canada and less on investment abroad, to build their business in Britain and the EU. For Canadian trade policy with Britain and Europe, the top priority should be to conclude the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the

EU while Britain is still a full member. CETA is an ambitious, modern trade agreement that goes far beyond tariff elimination and reduction. It includes alignment on some regulations that affect services in particular, better access to government procurement, freer trade in intellectual property and more relaxed movement of people between the EU and Canada. Britain was reportedly one of the key driving forces for CETA, so concluding the deal now would be highly desirable. CETA itself is not on a fast track for ratification. The European Commission has decided that every EU member will have to ratify the agreement, rather than one-time ratifica-

tion by the European Parliament. There may still be pushback on aspects of CETA from EU members, although once the European Parliament ratifies the deal as scheduled, 90 per cent of the deal’s substance will come into play by early 2017. Next, it is entirely unclear what Britain’s future economic relationship with the EU will look like once the coming two-year Brexit negotiations are concluded. That said, if Canada can secure ratification of CETA as soon as possible and implement the deal, that would provide a twoyear window to sort out our own priorities for economic relations with Britain.

Since there appears to be no accession clause in CETA for third parties (like a Britain outside the EU), Canada should be prepared to negotiate a bilateral freetrade agreement with Britain if required. Adopting the same terms as under CETA would be ideal, but each party may seek opportunities to improve upon the terms negotiated under CETA, which would add to the time involved. A more intriguing option would be to consider making Britain a partner in the North American free trade agreement. As the largest and dominant economy, the United States would have to agree to this

option. However, current political conditions in the United States are not ripe for new or modified free-trade agreements, even with a trusted political partner like Britain. The United States is already pursuing its own free-trade negotiations with the EU, called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, but those negotiations are not moving fast (and may even be moribund). Expecting the United States to change course and build the political will to bring Britain into NAFTA is probably asking too much right now. And of course, doing nothing is the default option. If no specific

action is taken to strengthen the trade bridge between Canada and Britain, Canadian firms will most likely shift their European investment away from Britain and into the remaining EU, to serve a larger EU market. Over all, Canada would benefit from reaching out to the postBrexit Britain in order to build a deeper economic relationship; finalizing CETA while Britain is still in the EU is the best option, with a bilateral free-trade agreement as a fallback position. Bringing Britain closer to its North American neighbours is an appealing idea, although reopening NAFTA is not going happen any time soon.

Pokemon set to take over the world Pokemon Go. By now everyone, whether you are computer literate or not, has heard of the game. For those who have grandchildren you will probably more familiar with it. It’s the latest craze. Well, I have two grandsons, aged 12 and 16. Yes, they are both Pokemon players. I related the trip to the water slides and one of our conversations. Another subject that came up was Pokemon. When we arrived at our destination, West Edmonton Mall, he was everywhere. There were PokeStops everywhere. It didn’t take the mall long to take advantage of the marketing and build upon the latest craze. I’m not sure what the stops are all about, but apparently you can get items by tapping on it. The stops refresh and you can get new items every five minutes. So armed with their apps on their

Neighbourly News

Biggar Lodge News by Karen Kammer, recreation co-ordinator Hi everyone, Hard to believe the kids will be back to school next week and the farmers will be harvesting their crops, whenever the rain decides to stop. We were very busy at the Biggar Health Centre. Monday morning was exercises. In the afternoon, some of the residents went outside for a walk and then Wheel of Fortune was on. Tuesday was current events. Secret Boxes was on at 2:30. The residents also started up some new puzzles. Wednesday morn-

ing was bowling. Very close game indeed but one resident won with 20 points. All of his pins were knocked over. Other people had 18’s and 16’s. Happy hour and music videos in the afternoon. Thursday morning was Bible Study. At 11:301:00 we had our summer monthly burger sale. We had a great turn out and everyone left happy and full. At 2:30 we had bingo. Friday morning was BBQ Club down Willow. We had garden cucumbers, potatoes with dill, burgers, hot dogs, baked beans and fruit for des-

sert. In the afternoon everyone gathered into the Activity Room and had pop floats. They picked their favorite flavor and served it with a fancy flower straw. It was a blast. Saturday morning was jackpot bingo. Movie and popcorn was on in the afternoon. Sunday morning was 1-1 time. The St. Gab’s Church was here for worship this week. Thanks again to everyone who came out and spent part of their day with us. Have a wonderful week to all of my readers. Have a great day

need to put it in an incubator, tap to start the incubator and then walk 2 kilometres, 5 kilometres or 10 kilometres. At least, in some ways the app encourages participants to get out and walk, rather than just staying glued to a television set. Not many games promote exercise. There have been lots of stories in the news. People who have been so engrossed in the game they walk off cliffs. People who are playing while driving and run into police cars. I related some of these stories to my grandson, who simply looked at me and said, “Yes, Grandma, but you are also supposed to use the app responsibly.” Point taken. I wonder if the creators of the game knew it would become such a phenomenon? Of course, that is the hope of everyone who develops an app but you can never be sure of its success. And, when Pokemon Go was originally released, there were mixed reviews. You just never know what will pique the interest of people. Pokemon Go certainly has.

That those who seek to peace are led My horse and I slept out last night.” Yours Truly must be getting old and forgetful, because it seems to him that he used the above verse in this column not too long ago. Not to worry though, he is in touch with the man who wrote it, and we’ll just call it a rerun of a 1938 incident. It wouldn’t be fair to mention names though because as that fellow on TV said, “Horses are people, too.” An old saying goes: “A man’s a man for a that.” And a horse, well you know what I mean. Back to the subject. I think a lot of people knew that horse long before we did. As far as we ever found out he had been raised on the Valley Springs Ranch east of Borden, Saskatchewan along the river. When one of their riders helped us move our herd across the frozen river in 1936, he just sold one of my brothers (Bill) everything and went back to Borden on the train. Whew! After that long sen-

Rural communities becoming a distant memory? There is a rich rural heritage to the Canadian Prairies, one that I worry will increasingly be lost and forgotten. My earliest memories regarding a family address was for a PO box in Clashmoor, Sask., a town with a Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator on a ribbon of branch line steel. There was a store, a post office with a residence in the back, and a couple of other houses. But grain trucks rolled there with area grain, and we picked up mail, and at least some groceries. The store burned. The post office closed, as did the elevator. The rail was ripped from the earth. Today no aspect of Clashmoor remains except in a few area histories and the fading memories of the likes of myself. So why do I mention that here now? Over the summer I have noticed how rural communities continue to fade. I walked an area in Preeceville just the other day. The ghost bed of the railroad still visible, the steel long gone with another reminder the big rail companies were eager to abandon small town Western Canada, shipping grain deliveries to highways, one now pocked with potholes you have to think grain trucks are at least artily responsible for. The grain elevator remains standing in Preeceville, but it is not the draw for area farmers as it once was. The area along the rail

Maybe we should have written down more information when we had a resource like Jim with that astounding memory. When his wife Anne’s health became quite serious and debilitating, Jim’s life was difficult as it is very painful

BIGGAR NEW HORIZONS SENIORS CENTRE

OBITUARIES to watch your partner of 50 years suffer and lose her sparkle for life. After Anne’s passing it became really a highlight for Jim to drive out to Sonningdale/Lizard Lake area to meet friends and acquaintances for pie and coffee or whatever social activity was occurring. He was honored and thoroughly enjoyed the 80th birthday party the Sonningdale group put on for him. I am sure everyone can recall him declaring that he never thought he would live past 50!! Mabel Specka/Hoppe she must know that we sometimes were also a bit appalled to see Jim sporting one of Anne’s flowery blouses. He, I guess we must admit, could be a bit eccentric at times, but to be truthful he really did not care what people thought. His neighbor, Guy, was such a strong support to Jim. He faithfully brought him supper each night so we always felt that in an emergency Guy would be looking out for Jim and checking on him. Thank you Guy. I know you will miss him. Your diligence was a support for Jim’s family as well as him. All of Jim’s nieces and nephews remember fondly going out to the farm and getting so well treated by both Jim and Anne. Always lots of good food and that good ol’ Valley Comfort wood heater stoked to the nines and the temperature probably reaching the upper 90’s. They both really enjoyed having company pop in. The wonderful people of Biggar who have been so kind to Jim after Anne’s passing will probably miss his riding that bike all over town. Though not a native of Biggar and not having lived here a great number of years, people all seem to know him. The family would like to thank the United Church ladies who provided this luncheon for the Memorial Tea, in celebration of Jim’s life on Tuesday, August 23 at 2 p.m. In the Biggar New Horizons Hall. It was so wonderful to gather together to share in the memories of Jim’s life. A private family interment took place following, with Grondin Funeral Services handling the arrangements, “Our Family Serving Your Family since 1963”. gfsc1

CARDS OF THANKS The family of Lena Novicki would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. McKee and all staff at Biggar Long Term Care for phenomenal physical and emotional caregiving of our mother.

Thank you to the CWL for serving lunch, St. Gabriel choir for beautiful music and all faith community members who helped at prayers and mass.

Council report for the Town of Asquith for August Asquith Town Council held its regular Council meeting on August 10, 2016. Attending were Deputy-Mayor Don Lysyshyn, Councillors Garry Dumont, Ross Beal, Leen Van Marion and C.A.O. Holly Cross. The meeting was called to order at 7:04 p.m. by DeputyMayor Lysyshyn. A motion was made to accept the minutes from the July 6, 2016 council meeting. The treasurer’s statement of receipts and expenditures for July 2016 and the bank reconciliations for June, 2016 were accepted as presented.

Resolution was made to accept the accounts paid in the amount of $98,548.37 and the accounts payable in the amount of $24,884.66 as presented. A motion was also made to pay the Asquith Co-operative Assoc. invoice in the amount of $774.12. A building permit was issued for the construction of an attached garage on Clark Avenue. More work will be done on three driveways on Charles Street to accommodate for the height of East Avenue. Lake Construction has been contracted to repair a gate that was ruined from the alteration of

slopes on East Avenue. Orders were issued to some residents who were non-compliant with Town bylaws. The 2016 Waterworks Information Sheet was presented Council and is available at the Asquith Town Office. A new pump was ordered for Pumper No.5 fire truck at a cost of $6,891.39. Rempel Engineering was contracted to engineer the addition on the Town’s Fire Hall for a cost of $9,500. Kathy Picketts has been hired as a new office assistant and will be taking the Local Government Administration course. Mrs. Picketts will be eventually moving into working parttime and will eventually replace C.A.O. Cross when she retires. This office hopes all are having a wonderful summer!
