Beef from local 4H steer donated to food banks Courtesy of Canora Courier Cole Marcinkoski is a 14-yearold student at Canora Composite School and a six-year member of the Springside 4H beef club.

The recently completed 4H year started out similar to most other years, but then the members received word that the club’s achievement day and regional show and sale was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Jen Hamilton, Marcincoski’s mother, who works in accounts payable at Gateway Co-op in Canora.

“This was a disappointment to Cole as he had worked hard over winter feeding his steer and getting him ready for the show,” said Hamilton. “Cole had to complete his 4H record book and have a ‘showready’ animal in order to complete his 4H year.”

Marcinkoski marketed his steer and was able to sell it to Gateway Co-op. Brad Chambers, general manager, said Gateway was excited for the opportunity to purchase the steer and donate all the beef, approximately 700 pounds, to food banks in Canora, Buchanan, Preeceville and Sturgis.

“Gateway Co-op has supported the 4H club for many years,” said Chambers. “We believe 4H gives our young community members great opportunities to develop a multitude

of skills. With the current conditions we face the 4H rally day had been cancelled so the Co-op decided that we could not only support a great club like 4H but also help out many of our community members by donating the animal to our local food banks.”

The beef was processed by Cool Springs Ranch of Endeavour.

Pastor Mavis Watson, volunteer administrator at Filling the Gap Food Bank in Canora, was extremely appreciative of the support.

“We were thrilled when we heard of the donation,” said Watson. “It will make a big difference, especially for those who are still being affected by the COVID-19 restrictions to the point where they require assistance from the food bank.”

Watson said her next challenge is finding freezer space for the beef.

With gardens across the region progressing rapidly, she is hoping for substantial donations of garden produce.

“We are especially looking for root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and onions. I’m not as much interested in things like tomatoes and cucumbers, since they tend to go bad sooner.”

Marcinkoski said the support for 4H from Gateway Co-op was much appreciated, and although his 4H year didn’t go as planned, “I’m thrilled my steer will be able to assist many local families.”

Cole Marcinkoski, a student at CCS and a member of the Springside 4H Beef Club, sold his 2020 4H steer to Gateway Co-op. Gateway then donated the beef from the steer to food banks in Canora, Buchanan, Preeceville and Sturgis.

Bringing back trees to Assiniboine River watershed Courtesy of Kamsack Times Tree Canada partnered with the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) once again to plant over 32,000 white spruce seedlings on three sites totaling approximately 20 hectares (50 acres) in the Canora area adjacent the Assiniboine River on July 6 and 7. The project is part of Tree Canada’s National Greening program, a mass seedling planting program which targets areas in need of reforestation or afforestation across Canada, said Kelvin Kelly, Saskatchewan community adviser, Tree Canada.

Co-ordinated by a Tree Canada contractor, in consultation with Darren Newberry, the SWF Land Manager and a local branch representative,

The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) joined forces with Tree Canada to plant over 32,000 white spruce seedlings along the Assiniboine River near Canora on July 6 and 7. From left, were: Curt Chaplin, Smokey Lake Tree Planting; Doug Lapitsky, River Ridge branch of the SWF; Ken Chaplin, Smokey Lake Tree Planting, and Mike Gutzer, Smokey Lake Tree Planting.

Doug Lapitsky of Canora, a member of the River Ridge Fish and Game branch of the SWF, the project, continued over

two years, will see over 52,000 seedlings grow across 33 of hectares of land, according to Kelly.

“As the planting sites

act as an important green buffer and wildlife corridor, the reforestation will further improve the habitat for

wildlife and increase the enjoyment of the area by outdoor enthusiasts,” he continued.

“The reduction of wind erosion and the stabilization of the soil brought about by the planting will also result in a cleaner Assiniboine River and watershed for generations to come.”

Tree Canada gratefully acknowledges the work and contribution towards this project from the tree nursery suppliers (PRT and Clearwater Greenhouses), Dunkley Lumber and the inkind services provided by the SWF for the site preparation.

Lapitsky, the habitat chair for River Ridge, said his role was to find locations to plant the trees and then coordinate the preparation of the land for tree planting.

“The land was disced

to remove the tall grass and other weeds by Murray Horkoff of Linden Valley Organics of Veregin,” said Lapitsky.

“This gives the trees the best possible opportunity to survive.”

Unlike 2019 when the weather was extremely dry both before and after the tree planting, this year’s conditions were close to ideal.

“The weather was excellent, not too hot and not too cold,” reported Lapitsky. “The area had about three inches of rain in the weeks prior and about an inch of rain since the trees went into the ground.”

The tree planting crew included Mike Gutzer, Ken Chaplin and his twin brother Curt of Smokey Lake Tree Planting. Ken is the Guinness World Record holder, having previously planted 15,170 trees in a single day.

Preeceville solar project first of 47 small-scale power generation projects

By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury) Preeceville – Just west of Preeceville, on the south side of Highway 49 are six rows of large solar panels, facing south.

They are the latest addition to the SaskPower grid, producing power since the end of June.

It’s not easy being first, but S-Elect Energy of Preeceville accomplished just that. On July 10 SaskPower announced it was first project to come into service through the Power Generation Partner Program (PGPP).

The S-Elect 284-kilowatt solar project completed commissioning on June 26, with the 20-year contract supply period beginning on June 27.

The facility connects to provincial electrical grid at the Stenen substation, which is located east of Preeceville, past Sturgis.

Jared Stefanyshyn is the man behind the project. He’s a 41-year-old electrician of 20 years.

Stefanyshyn grew up in Regina, then moved to a farm at Briercrest, south of Moose Jaw. He went to Alberta to work in the oilpatch for five years. Eleven years ago, Stefanyshyn set up shop as an electrician in Preeceville, where both of his parents originated.

Stefanyshyn wouldn’t say exactly how much the installation cost, other

Six rows of solar panels, just west of Preeceville, are now supplying green energy to SaskPower’s grid. They belong to S-Elect Energy. Preeceville can be seen in the background. than it was “hundreds of thousands.”

The array is on land he purchased around 15 years ago. It is made up of 864 panels, with 12 converters. They tie into the grid at the power poles along the highway. There are 24 sets of panels, in six rows. The panels face south, tilted at an optimum angle to maximize their power output.

Stefanyshyn noted there was one hiccup in firing up. A transformer required replacement under warrantee, which delayed the commissioning three weeks.

“We should have been up and running the

beginning of June. The company was really good fixing it,” Stefanyshyn said.

Being the first was a learning process for both himself and SaskPower, Stefanyshyn said.

“I broke trail for everything, it seems like everything, right from soup to nuts. It seemed like everything was new.”

Kilowatt-hours to the grid When the ambient temperatures is higher, the array actually produces less power than it does on cooler days.

Thus, on hot days in July, it will produce less power than cooler spring

or fall days.

“In June I had a day where it produced 2,300 kilowatt-hours,” he said.

“Today it was 1,810. On July 11, it was 2,003 kilowatt-hours. It depends on the sun.

“Cloudy days still produce, but minimally.

I would say a bad day would be 400 to 500 kilowatt-hours in the summer. We’ve had some allcloudy days in the summer. It was right around 400.”

In the wintertime he said the cooler days help the panels. “The best scenario is long days, cool days. So April, May, June are your good days.”

Thus in winter it will produce well, but the days are shorter.

Asked if he’s satisfied, Stefanyshyn replied, “I don’t know yet.

“If I was to do it again, I know a lot more.”

As for the outcome of the project, he said everything has worked the way he wanted it to work, except for the transformer failure. “It was a long road, a really long road to get there.”

Would he do it again?

“Probably? I think so. I don’t know. Until I get a year under (my belt), until I know what it will actually produce, I believe I would,”

Stefanyshyn replied.

The PGPP provides customers with the opportunity to generate power through renewable generation, such as solar, or carbon neutral non-renewable generation, such as flare gas. In total, the PGPP will add up to 105 megawatts of renewable and carbonneutral electricity to Saskatchewan’s generation mix.

SaskPower spokesperson Joel Cherry said on July 13 the Preeceville project was part of the first year of intakes.

Two intakes have been completed and in lateJune, a third intake was announced for late-October.

The first year had 25 projects, of which 18 were solar and seven were flare gas. The second year had 22 projects, with 10 solar and 12 flare gas. These projects are all limited to one megawatt in size each for solar, five megawatts each for flare gas. “Some come in right at the limit for both,” Cherry said.

The smallest size allowed is 100 kilowatts (0.1 megawatts).

More of these projects will be coming online “quite soon,” he said.

The COVID-19 crisis did put a pause on some projects.

These are not “utility scale” projects, like the 10 megawatt solar projects SaskPower is pursuing. As a result, they are easier to tie into the grid.

Research farm field day going virtual COVID-19 may have forced the cancellation of this year’s Parkland College/East Central Research Foundation (ECRF) research farm field day, but a series of new videos just released to YouTube is taking the tour online.

Research trials are underway this summer on land south of Yorkton provided by the City, and on plots exchanged with the Health Foundation to assist with crop rotation.

“As we typically have about 100 participants at our annual farm tour, we had to cancel due to the restrictions on public gatherings,” said research coordinator Mike Hall. “To make up for this, we put together a series of videos to give people a virtual tour of

the farm.”

The videos are between two minutes and six minutes in length. Research farm staff produced an introductory episode and five segments focusing on individual projects: Episode 1: Input Management for Malt vs.

Feed Barley Episode 2: In-season Applications of UAN vs. Dissolved Urea for Increasing Wheat Protein Episode 3: Oat Test Weight Episode 4: Effect of Nozzle Type & Boom Height on Fusarium Head Blight Suppression in Wheat Episode 5: Blackstrap Dry Beans Response to Added Nitrogen The videos can be found on the ECRF’s

Farmers won’t be riding wagons to see East Central Research Foundation farm plots this summer but there will be a virtual tour online.

“We are excited to showcase the great work we are doing at the

research farm,” said Dr. Gwen Machnee, Parkland College’s Coordinator of Applied Research. “And we are looking forward to

expanding our research horizons in the future.”

Since 2013, the College and the ECRF have worked together on the

research farm. Projects vary each year and are supported by numerous funding agencies, producer groups, and private industry.

EDITORIAL Brownie points to feds for turning down Jays, fade on inspection The federal government scored some brownie points with the Canadian public this weekend when they decided not to allow the Toronto Blue Jays to play their home games in Toronto this year, citing the fact that it was too dangerous for American teams to come and go as frequently as would be required over the course of a 60-game season. But, like I always do, I decided to look at this a little closer.

On Saturday afternoon when this announcement was made, I went to the Pearson International Airport webpage and counted 15 flights arriving in Toronto from the United States on Saturday alone. Those planes have an unknown number of people whose whereabouts in Canada will be unknown after they get here and whose virus status is also unknown. All of this despite the fact we, supposedly, have a closed border with the US. I’m not sure about you, but 15 flights a day into Toronto from various US cities isn’t ‘closed border’ to me. Let’s look at the teams the Blue Jays would be facing: all players go through a vigorous screening process and must be negative for the virus in order to even play.

Add to the fact those players are segregated from the general public while in Toronto and I fail to see the danger over 3-4 flights a week with people who we know everything about and where they will be when compared to over 100 flights a week with people who we have no such knowledge about.

This was a PR stunt by the feds and based on my survey on social media over the weekend, it worked. Canadians love this stand against Major League Baseball, yet seem to have no idea about all the flights coming to Toronto on a daily basis from the States.

After all, your Liberal government would never lie, right? In fact, a few people have even suggested I am the one lying and if you are one of those who don’t believe me, go look at the airport site for yourself.

Speaking of lying by governments, the deception continues to pile up

MIKE STACKHOUSE mikestackhouse@hotmail.com

Stackhouse Soapbox with Trudeau and his frat friends when it comes to the WE scandal.

If you aren’t familiar with the background and want to be, Google is your friend. The latest on this is that WE pitched the detailed youth plan on the same day Trudeau announced the $912-million program, and a WE manager admits they knew about this announcement three days before that.

Trudeau has said he accepts responsibility but beyond just saying he’s sorry (which is worthless) I don’t think there’s any intent to be responsible.

This entire charity stinks and the human rights activists who run it are the worst kind of crooks. They trick kids into thinking they make the world a better place while lining their own pockets for personal wealth.

Remember back in March and April when we were told to stay home in the name of health and safety? It turns out our federal health minister, Patty Hajdu, billed taxpayers for four roundtrips between her home in Thunder Bay and her federal office in Ottawa during this same time. Costs to charter a private jet are exorbitant.

In Saskatchewan, Scott Moe paid $4000 to go from Shellbrook to Regina. Ottawa to Thunder Bay is four times as far and you can bet all the other per hour fees will be more than what Moe paid. So you are looking at, minimum, $16,000 per trip for Hajdu during a time in which she should not have traveled at all.

These types of stories are why we should pay no attention to any future lockdown orders from government officials who can’t follow their own rules so why should we follow them?

In Quebec this weekend, a man was pepper

sprayed and wrestled to the ground at a Tim Horton’s for refusing to comply with the new provincial law of having to wear a face mask.

I found it interesting reading a lot of comments from folks on social media who said this man got what he deserved for being combative with police.

A number of people proclaimed to say this incident was different from the overreactions we’ve seen when police officers get physical with non-white people when there is a lack of compliance. I see no difference.

To be clear, I think if you don’t obey a police request then you are, partially, responsible for whatever sort of harm comes your way after that point. No person has a right to be inside Tim Horton’s. If they ask you to leave, you leave. If you don’t and the police are called and you still fail to do what’s requested, I have no sympathy for you.

If governments will open everything back up so that we can have mass gatherings and all of the wonderful things that we used to have before the middle of March, then I’m all for wearing masks.

Heck, I will even wear them to sleep. But, until such time I will rely on social distancing as my method to stay safe and to keep you safe from me if you feel that you need to be protected from me.

I’ve seen the argument that masks combined with social distancing just offer that extra layer of protection to ensure you don’t spread the virus.

If that’s the case then how come we don’t have stop signs at traffic lights? You know just as an added measure to ensure people don’t keep driving.

Nice people this week: Shawn Patenaude, Sandra Nordin, Tara Badduke, and John Anderson.

Human rights lens needed to prevent environmental racism Diversity is strength.

That’s true in nature and human affairs.

But recent painful events have shown society has yet to grasp this.

The appalling deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Toronto’s Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Chantel Moore from Tlao-qui-aht First Nation and many others — all at the hands of those tasked to serve and protect — have ignited awareness of the intense, often violent racial discrimination that continues to oppress Black, Indigenous and people of colour in Canada and the U.S. The overwhelming call to end race-based discrimination demands we take stock and action.

This needs to include an examination of how environmental harm disproportionately affects vulnerable populations and marginalized communities.

Canada’s main pollution-prevention law, the 269-page Canadian Environmental Protection Act, doesn’t include one mention of environmental justice, human rights or vulnerable populations.

Yet, in urban areas, 25 per cent of the lowest socio-economic status neighbourhoods are within a kilometre of a major polluting industrial facility compared to just seven per cent of the wealthiest. Income inequality in Canada also has a racial dimension.

A 2019 analysis found

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters racialized men earned 78 cents for every dollar non-racialized men earned, while racialized women earned 59 cents (non-racialized women earned 67 cents for every dollar non-racialized men earned).

About 40 per cent of Canada’s petrochemical industry operates within a few kilometres of Sarnia and the Aamjiwnaang First Nation, exposing community members to a range of harmful pollutants. Inuit in Canada’s North are at greater risk of economic losses and poor health as a result of climate change, with rapid Arctic warming jeopardizing hunting and many other activities.

Marginalized communities can also be more susceptible to insidious toxic exposures. For example, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, even at low levels, can interfere with hormone functioning. We’re all exposed to them in myriad ways, from food pesticide residues and personal-care product ingredients to textile treatments, product packaging and industrial air pollution. American

researchers identified higher exposure levels in ethnic minorities and a corresponding higher disease burden. They hypothesize that cultural behaviours, consumption patterns and proximity of Continued on Page 5

U15 Expos win pair in doubleheader

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was a good day on the diamond for the Parkland U15 Expos, although early in it didn’t look good for the local team.

The Expos hosted the

Regina Athletics in a doubleheader, with the visitors holding a big 9-4 lead going into the final at-bat for the locals at Jubilee Park in the city, in spite of a home run by Expo Xage Miraflor from Sturgis, his second in as many weekends.

But in the home half of the final inning the proverbial worm turned in favour of the Expos.

A few walks, a couple of timely hits and Yorkton crawled back to win 10-9.

“The guys showed more patience than any-

thing at bat,” said Expo coach Larry Kitchen.

Logan Wolkowski started on the mound in the game for Yorkton going four innings before giving way to Liam Baron who earned the win.

In the second half of the doubleheader there was no need for a big comeback as the Expos rolled to a 15-5 win.

Parker Lowenberg went three innings as the starter, with Chaez Jaeb

finishing off the game on the mound for the Expos.

The Expos are now three-and-one on the summer, after back-toback home stand doubleheaders.

The runs were tough to find for the home side Expos Saturday.

Shelwin House receives major donation Shelwin House in Yorkton has received a $5,000 donation from RBC to help it weather the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operated by Yorkton Women In Need Inc, Shelwin House is a shelter for women and children fleeing abusive relationships. All services, including temporary housing, supportive counseling, and basic living necessities are provided free of charge.

“Residents are most likely to come into the shelter not having per-

sonal protection equipment with them as many times they arrive with only the clothes they are wearing,” said Susan Furber, Executive Director, Shelwin House.

“Thanks to this donation we’ll now be able to provide the items needed for our staff, residents and ex-residents to protect themselves.”

“We’re also going through cleaning supplies very quickly, and we want to produce some educational materials.

About how to stay safe at home when home may not be safe,” added

RACISM Continued from Page 4 industrial facilities and waste sites could contribute to these disparities.

These are just a few examples. Unresponsive environmental policies systematically result in concentration of pollution risks — and inadequate access to environmental benefits — in disadvantaged Canadian communities.

This year, MP Lenore Zann introduced Bill C-230, the National Strategy to Redress Environmental Racism Act. It begins by recognizing that “a disproportionate number of people who live in environmentally hazardous areas are members of an Indigenous or racialized community.” The bill would require the environment minister to examine the link between race, socio-economic status and environmental risk, develop a strategy to redress environmental racism and report regularly on progress.

Canada should recognize the human right to a healthy environment in law, as most countries do, and legislate requirements to protect vulnerable communities from pollution and toxic substances.

Human rights impact

assessment offers one approach to operationalizing environmental rights. It involves a process to identify, understand and address potential discriminatory effects of a proposed action, and a commitment to prevent adverse human rights impacts.

Often this begins with something as basic as gathering data to better understand racial dimensions of potential effects.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development recommends it in its Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct for corporations operating abroad.

Last year the UN Human Rights Council adopted guiding principles for human rights impact assessment for economic reform policies. A parallel process for environmental regulation could ensure everyone benefits from environmental protection measures.

Staff at the shelter also received an Olympic-

sized motivational boost from one of Canada’s most passionate women’s

In their mandate letters, Canada’s ministers of health and environment were tasked with “better [protecting] people and the environment from toxins and other pollution, including by strengthening the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.”

In 2020, strengthening environmental legislation must incorporate human rights.

A human rights lens would remove a blind spot and hard-wire into the decision-making process a commitment to ensuring a healthy environment for all.

It would help prevent environmental racism, while MP Zann’s bill aims to redress harm already done.

When Parliament resumes, MPs should prioritize passing Zann’s bill and amendments to strengthen the Environmental Protection Act, including environmental rights provisions. The unequal effects of environmental harm must be part of the reflection on systemic racism. But more is needed. Integrating a human rights lens into environmental decision-making is long overdue.

New lures benefit food banks Few things excite a ‘fisherfolk’ more than finding a new lure to try.

Let’s face it, you can always buy a new lure when you want, catching a fish, well that’s just pure hard work and luck, good and bad on the whim of Mother Nature.

So it was intriguing to see online Len Thompson with some new paint jobs this year.

And, it was even more interesting to discover they were lures being sold for a good cause. “To say that 2020 so far has been a challenge may be the understatement of the decade, if not the century,� stated Brad Pallister, President, Thompson-Pallister Bait Co. Ltd. in a letter on the company website. “COVID 19 has indiscriminately taken many lives and left countless numbers of sick people in its path. While the health concerns of the virus are tragically real for many; the level of fear, uncertainty, men-

tal health implications and economics impact nearly every person in the world. “Our area of Central Alberta (and many other rural areas in Canada) have thus far avoided the brunt of the health crisis associated with the virus, of which we are very thankful. “However, much like the virus, the economic impacts of COVID19 has no boundaries. People across the country are struggling, and pressure on food banks has never been higher.�

So the company moved to do something to help the situation. “Fishing intimately connects you with the outdoors either as a solo activity, or with your closest friends or family. It really does help to heal your mind, body and soul.

That is why we strongly believe that fishing and the outdoors will be a popular healing activity for many people this season,� said Pallister in the letter. “As a company, we wanted to do something special during these turbulent times. “We have launched six new special, limited edition lures that are now available for purchase.

We believe these unique -- yet proven colours -will not only help anglers realize a more successful day on the water, but it will help smaller communities across the prairies.�

The best part is the company is donating 50 per cent of every #fish-

Diamonds trademark and the visual of five diamonds is very intertwined with the Len Thompson brand. We decided to print this on each spoon with the Canadian maple leaf - in case you or your readers didn’t know, our lures are proudly made in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada.�

The question of course is whether the designs become permanent offerings to the Len Thompson line? “We haven’t discussed adding these to our permanent assortment but never-say-never. If the demand is there we will consider it but our 2021 assortments have already been finalized,� said Pallister-Dew. Of course Len Thompson lures have long been a favoured choice for yours truly, especially when pike hunting. I suspect that is because my Dad was a dedicated red and white and black and white spoon user, and I naturally still gravitate to the tried and true lures.

It’s also interesting to me that the lures have a history leading back to

Saskatchewan.

According to the company website “Len Thompson, a returned First World War soldier and farmer, developed his first fishing spoon in Abernethy, Saskatchewan, in 1929. “After many years of trying all kinds of manufactured lures, he was convinced he could make a better spoon. “He believed that the slow wobbling action which antagonized game fish into striking could be created with a more intricate combination of shape and weight.

Always looking for better results, he carried a file and ball peen hammer in his tackle box to perfect his already very successful prototypes.�

And a fledgling business was born. “Len Thompson Bullet and Bait operated as a part time, winter business out of his farm until 1945 when Thompson decided to make a career change,� notes the company history. “He traveled to Toronto where he secured suppliers of brass, components, paint, packaging, and production equipment as well as hired his first professional tool and die maker. Within a few

short months, he had a factory built and fully equipped.�

Len Thompson Bait Company entered into full time production in nearby Abernethy.

After a decade of impressive growth, Len & Myra Thompson and Myrtle & Cecil Pallister formed ThompsonPallister Bait Co. Ltd and chose to relocate to Lacombe, Alberta in 1958. “Lacombe was closer to suppliers and customers as well as offered many fishing and hunting opportunities,� notes the history.

Len Thompson continued to experiment and promote while his son-in-law Cecil Pallister refined the manufacturing processes.

Len passed away in 1979, but his name is carried to anglers on approximately 500,000 fishing spoons each year.

Approximately 50 million lures have been produced since 1929 and between Len Thompson and Northern King, more than half a million spoons are manufactured each year. Proudly made in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada.

Terry Peppler hits a double in action versus Balcarres Sunday.

A7

Terry Peppler pitches to grandson Callhan Smalley.

Peppler keeps chucking for Rockets

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When it comes to senior fastball in the area Terry Peppler might just be the poster boy.

While most men his age have opted for the bleacher seats to feed their passion for the game, Peppler who turns 59 in August, remains active as a member of the Rhein Rockets.

Peppler today likes to refer to himself as team coach, or maybe manager, but in doubleheader action on the Rocket’s home field Sunday he was in the designated hitter spot in the line-up.

And, make no mistake he’s still a dangerous hit-

ter, doubling in the bottom of the seventh inning of game one against the Balcarres Broncs, and scoring on a game-tieing home run by Evan Neibrandt, leaving the contest a 4-4 draw.

Then in the second game against the Rosebud Junior Royals (Wadena) Peppler went deep himself as the Rockets won 16-5.

For the record in between the Rocket games the Broncs defeated the Rosebuds14-4 in a game in Rhein.

But, back to the seemingly ageless Peppler, while he was relegated to DH duty Sunday, he admitted to Yorkton

This Week he still toes the rubber on occasion to pitch – three times todate this summer in the Richardson’s Pioneer Men’s Fastball League.

For Peppler it’s sort of old hat to windmill a softball across a home plate.

“I’d say I started when I was 15,” he said, doing the math and coming up with 44-years as a pitcher.

So why, when most would have retired from what is still a competitive level of fastball?

“It’s not just my own interest, it’s keeping things going in the community,” he said, adding he plays when the Rockets need him having

said at age 40 that was the way it would be. “I’ll only play when needed.”

Of course being able to throw a riser with consistency helps, noted Peppler.

“It’s hard to groom new pitchers,” he said, so he keeps throwing which he hopes has a ripple effect of “keeping things in the community going.”

But, lining a field with chalk, or offering a young player some sage advice, pitching is another. How does Peppler do it?

“Some days you have it, and some days you don’t, its game-to-game,” he admitted, adding again “I just come out to coach and sometimes I do throw a little.”

Either way, for Peppler fastball is less about the score, and more about other aspects of sport.

“We’re here for fun.

It’s always been about the social part of the game,” he said.

It helps too son Brett Peppler is a Rocket, and not surprisingly he pitches when called upon.

On the sidelines while the Rockets field Peppler leaves the dugout and plays pitch and catch with future Rocket, lobbing soft tosses to four-year-old grandson Callhan Smalley, his year-old brother Kashton watching nearby.

“The next generation of Rockets,” said Peppler

as he invited the press over for a photo.

But, when it came to a career highlight winning topped the list without Peppler having to think about it too long. Four times he has been on a provincial championship team with Rhein, a fifth time winning with Warman.

Whether another title will come though doesn’t matter, Peppler said he just wants to contribute to the Rockets.

“Eventually there will be a time,” he admitted when asked how long he intends to play, but its likely Peppler will wear a Rocket uniform as long as the team heads to the diamond “as a coach.”

Construction on new passing lanes continues on Highways 9 and 10 Construction on new passing lanes continues on Highways 9 and 10 near Yorkton. The project includes six sets of passing lanes, intersection improvements, access consolidation and 55 kilometres (km) of paving.

“Our government is committed to building strong communities by investing in highways and infrastructure,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit said.

“The new passing lanes on Highways 9 and 10 will improve traffic flow and safety while helping transport our commodities from production to market.”

The cost of the project is about $39.4 million, with a scheduled completion date of October

2020. It also includes upgrading approximately 4.4 km of Grain Millers Drive within the RM of Orkney, and paving on Highway 9 within the City of Yorkton under the Urban Highway Connector Program.

Travellers are advised to plan ahead, expect delays, slow to 60 km/h and use caution when driving through the work zone.

Passing lane projects continue around the province this year, including Highways 5, 7 and 39. Pre-construction work is also underway on 24 to 26 new sets of passing lanes as part of the government’s stimulus package.

If you’re planning to travel, check the Highway Hotline at www.sas-

katchewan.ca/highwayhotline, which provides up-to-date information on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges and other road activities.

Information is also available by calling 511.

A weekly highway construction update is also published on www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/ transportation/highwayconstruction-projects/ weekly-highway-construction-update to provide the travelling public with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe and efficient travel. You can also report a highway work zone signing problem by calling 306-244-5535.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested more than

$9.8 billion in highways infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 15,800 km of

Saskatchewan highways.

Another $300 million in highways stimulus funds will be invested over the

next two years to stimulate Saskatchewan’s economic recovery.

Government announces additional funding for D/deaf and Deafblind services The Government of Saskatchewan has announced an additional funding increase of $350,000 to help address service gaps for the D/ deaf and Deafblind populations of Saskatchewan.

This was previously committed in the 2020-21 Budget.

This funding will be provided to Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada (VLRC) and Saskatchewan Deaf and

Hard of Hearing Services (SDHHS) to provide expanded services.

The funding will allow VLRC to leverage their affiliate organization, Deafblind Community Services, to provide a new

service in Saskatchewan, while SDHHS will be able to expand their delivery of interpreting American Sign Language (ASL) services for persons dealing with the courts, police, medical, educational and employment sectors.

These supports assist people who are D/deaf or hard of hearing in accessing services to participate in their community.

“It is important that we continue to look at removing barriers in our communities so people can participate to their fullest,” Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said. “This funding increase will help people who are D/deaf and Deafblind do just that. I’m looking forward to more of this work as we start to engage with the province on accessibility legislation for Saskatchewan in the coming months.”

Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services provides ASL interpreting services.

The additional funding will allow the organization to hire one additional ASL interpreter and two sign support professionals and enhance their 24-hour interpreter line to include access to intervener services. They will receive $253,000.

“This funding represents a significant increase in accessibility in our province,” SDHHS Executive Director Nairn Gillies said. “It will go a long way to allowing deaf and hard of hearing people to participate fully.”

VLRC is a provincially funded, accredited health care organization staffed by a passionate team of certified professionals. The organization provides professional, high-quality and sustainable rehabilitation to Canadians with vision loss now and into the future.

The additional funding will allow the organization to establish Deafblind Community Services here in

Saskatchewan, including hiring one Deafblind intervenor and providing daily one-to-one intervenor services to four people who are Deafblind. They will receive $96,500.

“The lack of professional support services for people who are Deafblind in Canada is definitely a human rights concern, especially when a person needs a professional to facilitate communication at a medical or legal appointment,” Deafblind Community Services Executive Director Sherry Grabrowski said.

“Some people who are Deafblind have no outside support from family or friends. That’s why our services are so important to the people we serve.

This announcement sets a precedent that we hope other provinces will follow.”

This funding supports the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy by expanding supports for people to participate in their communities.

Truck pulls long a Grandstand staple A10

July 24, 2020 | This Week Marketplace

The truck and tractor pulls have long been a staple at the Grandstand, going in and out of style over the years. In 1982, after tractor pulls had become a staple at the Saskatchewan Stampede and Exhibition, it was time for trucks to take part in the event for the first time. Reprinted below, Eric Larson talked to a crowd favorite, Ol’ Oscar, from the July 14, 1982 edition of Yorkton This Week.

Hundreds of horsepower, thousands of dollars, and tens of thousands of pounds treated spectators at this year’s Saskatchewan Stampede and Exhibition.

Four-wheel drive trucks, both stock and modified, were featured for the first time at this year’s tractor pull event.

The sport of truck pulling is still young and undeveloped in Saskatchewan, but it’s nothing new to Raymond Williams of Big Sandy, Montana, owner-operator of this year’s crowd favorite Ol’ Oscar.

Mr. Williams is a fiveyear veteran of truck pulling, and has been running Ol’ Oscar since he began.

The truck makes 1,200 horsepower from a blown Chevrolet L-88 engine and, according to Mr. Williams, is capable of pulling equal weights as the super-modified

tractors such as Boss Blue.

Ol’ Oscar was the only super-modified truck to pull here, that is, the only truck with a blown or turbo-charged engine.

“I’ve never pulled the small sled before,” he says. “I usually pull the one used with the tractors.”

This trip is Mr. William’s first this far north in Canada.

“There’s not much competition here,” he says. “ But it’s coming on strong.

Mr. Williams brought Ol’ Oscar here by request in hopes of stirring interest in super-modified trucks.

“They get in the blood,” he says.

Ol’ Oscar had no trouble pulling the weight sled all the way on the first day, but was seemingly stopped in midtrack the second day.

Mr. Williams said he scared himself so badly the first time out he didn’t try too hard the second day.

“There’s nowhere to go,” he says referring to Yorkton’s track.

“People don’t realize the dangerous aspect of the sport. I could have had the sled going 30 miles an hour and had nowhere to go at the end.”

“The first day they had the grader parked at the end of the track.”

Our Grandstand A brief look at its history There have been accidents in pulling, he says, some minor, others involving injury.

“The trailer rear ended me once and popped the front windshield out.”

To accommodate the super-modified vehicles Yorkton’s track should be longer, and spectators should be kept further back, he says.

“I was just playing with the sled on Thursday.”

Mr. Williams is a farmer in Montana, but this year he was rained out, and is making the most of his summer by travelling with his wife and six children to various pulls in the United States and Canada.

Mr. Williams attends between eight and 12 pulls each year, but doesn’t do it for the money.

In building Ol’ Oscar Mr. Williams has invested $11,000 and for his pulling efforts in Yorkton earned $550 in prize money.

No one seems to be in it for the money, as most

other four-wheel drive owner-operators have invested from $5,000 to $25,000 to run their trucks. Most don’t make enough to cover their transportation costs, let alone their investment.

Ed Bateson and Len Seidlikoski of Queen City Four by Four of Regina know all about the cost of four-wheel drive pulling, with their modified truck Led is Loaded.

Their entry began as

King of the Hill in the Labatts Challenge in Regina.

“The truck is still king of the hill,” says Mr. Seidlikoski. “But earning the title cost $1,000 in repairs to the truck and we only won $60.”

“Truck pulls don’t pay... We’re in it for the fun,” says Mr. Bateson.

Led is Loaded sports one of the most unique suspensions on the track, a totally custom frame which acts like a pivot to counter the front end lift experienced during a pull.

Next year the two partners plan to increase the horsepower of their 396 Chevrolet engine from its current rating of 500 horsepower into the 800 horsepower range.

Westman Border Fastball Museum about to open

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Westman Border Fastball Museum is expecting to open this August at Asessippi Beach and Campground north of Russell, MB. The museum has taken the name ‘Westman Border’ “is because we are close to the Man Sask Border and we had well over 120 fastball teams that have played at our grounds many from Saskatchewan,” said proprietor Rick Goraluk, adding “fastball was the most popular summer sport in the area.

“It is home to Asessippi Beach and Campground because this is where all the local teams played and the opening and closing of the beach with fastball brought in they say up to two thousand people.”

In fact the campground has fastball to thank for its start in a sense.

“The Inglis Regals was the team that initially helped clear the bush and make the diamonds

at Asessippi Beach and Campground in the late 1950’s when the Inglis Chamber of Commerce had the foresight to create a park like area,” said Goraluk.

The new museum will generally focus on fastball of all ages, although most over the years have been 15-35 years old.

With the long connection to fastball the museum seemed a natural for the campground.

Goraluk said he initially had the idea to have a fastball reunion two years ago.

“I called it the Kicking Up The Dirt Fastball Reunion,” he said. “We had a formal part with

In some cases truck operators can land a sponsor to help defer some of the cost. One such operator is Ed Wandler of Saskatoon Pick-Up and FourWheel Drive.

His 800-horsepower Chevrolet, entitled Budweiser Bandit, features alcohol injection and one of the nicest paint schemes on the track.

Despite all the effort and cost, misfortune can strike at any time.

A truck valued at $25,000, the O.J. Special, dropped out of competition following its best pull of the meet, with a broken front axle, while Mr. Wandler, try as he might, couldn’; get the Budweiser Bandit started for its final pull.

old players telling stories, and pictures with most of the original Regals. We had slow pitch, beer gardens and I asked people to bring along memorabilia and lots of people wanted to bring some pictures, jerseys, uniforms, hats etc.

“With me being too busy getting things ready for the event a friend Darryl Nernberg was extremely interested in helping and looking after that part. I could not do it on my own and had no idea of what was out there and how much people wanted to share.

“So he took over the display, I rented a 52-foot trailer made some stairs and our weekend museum was in place which filled right up and was a big success.”

And now the museum will be a more permanent fixture.

The group purchased a 53-foot ground level trailer and it will be full of uniforms, equipment, pictures, news clippings, said Goraluk.

Memorabilia is coming from all over Manitoba and Saskatchewan,” he said.

The museum will only be open in the summer and mainly weekends unless a group books ahead.

Goraluk said they hope to open beginning of August.

“We were going to have our Grand Opening but it will be next year due to COVID,” he said.

Area Mayors deciding on fall elections Rob Paul, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The WorldSpectator - Moosomin) It’s an election year in Saskatchewan and this fall residents of the province will be able to exercise the right to vote that democracy gives them.

Municipal election day will be Monday, November 9 for all cities, towns, villages, and RMs across Saskatchewan.

It may still be four months away, but mayors throughout the area are beginning to make decisions on whether or not they’ll run for re-election this fall while reflecting on what a strange year 2020 has been with the Covid-19 pandemic as Saskatchewan continues to reopen.

Moosomin Having served two terms as mayor after six years as a councillor, Moosomin Mayor Larry Tomlinson has yet to make a final decision on if he’ll run again this fall. “Honestly, it’s too early to know,� he said. “I haven’t really thought about it. I’ve got lots of things I’d still like to see done, especially in infrastructure. Whether I hang on for the next term to see if it gets better or not, I guess I’ll have to see. “We’ve done a lot of work, but there’s a lot to be done yet. I’d like to see the rest of the infrastructure fixed in this town. “That’s been what I’ve concentrated on the last few years,� he said. “I think it got left too long with nothing done and now it’s just piling up and it needs to be done. I’d like to see a lot more of it done. Whether I hang on to do it or not, I guess that’s another question. “If I do hang on, and I may hang on, we’ll see,� he said. “I’ve just got lots I’d like to see done and the only way it’ll ever get done is if I hang on and do it.�

Tomlinson credits the town staff for their efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic that has made a tough situation much easier. “It’s been a little dif-

ferent and difficult at times,� he said. “The crew has been really good. We’ve got a really good public works crew and a good office staff.

They’ve all been really good and it’s actually been fairly easy to manage and they’re doing lots of work. That’s all I can ask for.�

Although he’s unsure if he’ll run for re-election, Tomlinson says, he does want to ensure that Moosomin continues to develop. “Moosomin is considered a little bit of a hub,� he said. “And we’ve got to keep growing it that way.�

Esterhazy With nine years as a councillor under his belt, a by-election in 2018 led to Esterhazy Mayor Grant Forster taking over as mayor and he says he still has more to accomplish as he plans to run again this year. “I definitely will be running for re-election,� he said. “I’ve only had not quite two years yet in this term, so it’s still fairly new, but I have full intentions to be running again. “When I ran for election originally, I just wanted to help bring the town back around. We had gone through some struggles with different things going on. I felt we needed some guidance and leadership, which I felt I could provide. “I think in the two years we’ve made some progress, but we have a ways to go yet. There’s still a few things that we need to take care of and we need to bring ourselves back to where the town is functioning well and without issue. We’re pretty good, we’re almost there, but we’re not quite there.

I’ve just got to continue on because I think I’m able to help and get things done,� he said. “We have a good future in this town and I have some ideas of where we need to go and I just want to hopefully see that through. That’s my intention.�

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a bizarre experience, says Forster,

but he’s proud of the way the residents of Esterhazy have responded to the precautions. “It’s been a little bit easier than I anticipated,� he said. “People have reacted well to all the regulations we’ve been given. I mean, yeah there’s some that don’t understand and need to ask questions to find out why things are being done. But for the most part people have been very very good and it’s just made it that much easier for us to continue. “We’ve done what we’ve had to do because of the regulations. We had to do some unpopular things, like shutting down facilities, but people understood that and were willing to work through it. “From our standpoint, I think we’ve done well as a town and we weren’t impacted as badly as other places which helped us. It really wasn’t as big of a concern in the end from a municipal standpoint.�

Regina– In keeping with its recent water theme, the Government of Saskatchewan on July 20 announced a number of agricultural water management demonstrations across the province. Some of this work is meant to drain potholes

and allow that land to become usable acreage for farming.

This announcement comes a few weeks after $4 billion of irrigation development projects for central Saskatchewan centering on Lake Diefenbaker.

These demonstration projects are much smaller in scope, however, as just $1 million in funding was announced

Redvers It’s been 27 years on council for Redvers Mayor Garry Jensen, hav-

ing served as a councillor since 1993 and then serving a four-year term as mayor, but he says he won’t be running for reelection this fall. “After 27 years on council, it’s time for someone new,� he said. “I won’t be running for re-election this year.� “I wanted to see the town grow. Our kids grew up here, went to school here, and some of them still live here. You just want to see your community grow. I take pride in this whole council and the employees.�

For the most part, Jensen says, although different, being mayor during Covid-19 hasn’t been stressful thanks to those around him. “It’s been good, we have a good council and staff,� he said. “Everybody has done their part so it’s been good. It’s been different, but it’s not like we’re in Winnipeg or Regina or some of those bigger cen-

tres.�

Carlyle With 20 years on council and two stints as mayor (1997-2000, 2014-present), Carlyle Mayor Wayne Orsted isn’t sure if he’ll run for reelection this fall. “I haven’t decided yet,� he said. “Right now I’m leaning towards not running, but we’re still a few months away.� “I’ve spent 20 years on council when this fall comes. I’m thinking it’s time for somebody else to take over the seat.�

The Covid-19 pandemic may not have hit Saskatchewan like other places, but its impact has been felt, says Orsted. “It’s still impacted the community with the amount of businesses that have had to close down,� he said. “Even though it hasn’t hit the area, it’s still impacted the employment situation and we’re just trying to get through that.�

Rocanville After serving nine years as a councillor and 20 years as mayor, Rocanville Mayor Daryl Fingas says this will be his last term as mayor and he won’t be running this year. “I don’t plan on running again,� he said. “I’ve done 29 years on council, it’s time. It’s been good, it’s a good pastime that keeps me busy. Different things come up and I’ve always been interested in all the things that go on around town, especially recreation. There’s been expansions at the mine, and lots of stuff going on in town that comes up.

It’s just been something to keep me busy. “For sure I will miss it.

I hadn’t planned on running in the last election.

I had said I was going to step down and on the last day of nominations there weren’t any for the mayor and we were short on the council. So, I approached Stan Langley and we talked it over and said we’d run again, but only for a year or two and now it’s four years later.

Hopefully this time there will be nominations.�

Drainage demonstration projects announced, including a focus on potholes Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury)

With Covid-19 not hitting Southeast Saskatchewan as hard as other sections of Canada, Fingas says, things have felt as close to normal as they can during a pandemic. “It hasn’t been too bad to be honest,� he said. “There’s been a lot of things that had to close down, so we haven’t had to deal with a lot of stuff.

But now it’s slowly opening, we’re probably about the same as every other town in the area, we’re just slowly getting back into things. “The government has allowed us to open things and it’s really getting back to normal. The whole area it almost seems like normal, but you just have to be careful, wash your hands, and practice physical distancing.�

on July 20 by Minister Responsible for Water Security Agency Greg Ottenbreit.

The announcement was made in conjunction with Glacier FarmMedia Discovery Farm at Langham, which is typically host of a major summer event call Ag In Motion. However, due to the restrictions from the COVID-19 crisis, that Continued on Page 12

DRAINAGE Continued from Page 11 event is not taking place this year.

(Glacier Media is the parent company of this publication as well as Glacier FarmMedia.)

One of the 11 agricultural water management demonstration projects will take place at the Discovery Farm, involving 40 acres of the 640 acre facility. Blake Weiseth spoke on behalf of the Glacier FarmMedia Discovery Farm, located at Langham.

It will be the site of a multi-year study that will involve design, regulatory approval, and construction of a drainage system on approximately 40 acres of land. After construction, a field study will evaluate several management practices meant to reduce nutrient runoff.

Some of the demonstration projects will test how farmers and ranchers can irrigate with water drained from agricultural fields. Other

projects will strategically retain wetlands to reduce the downstream impacts of flooding on infrastructure, water quality and habitat. Others will look at applying fertilizer in different ways in order to minimize nutrient runoff, the release said.

“The goal is to design a drainage plan that meets regulatory requirements and optimizes land productivity while preserving the environment,” Applied Research Lead at Discovery Farm Blake

Weiseth said. “This demonstration will help producers reclaim marginally productive low-lying areas while incorporating key nutrient management features associated with wetlands.”

“Marginally productive low-lying areas” are in essence what is commonly referred to as “potholes.” Weiseth referred to them as “temporary ephemeral wetlands.”

He said, “These are areas that are prone to periodic flooding

throughout the growing season, depending on the amount of rainfall, of course, they might be filled with some water in the spring, or you might be able to farm through them at the beginning of the season.”

That “periodic flooding” may have a negative impact on the crop growth, Weiseth explained.

“If we apply a drainage plan to that area to try to reclaim them, perhaps we can get some better

productivity over these lands, as well as overlaying that with a case management strategy to deal with those areas. So that might include looking at variable rate fertilizer application, as an example, has on managing those areas specifically,” he said.

Recent advances in aerial drone technology have made 3-D modelling of terrain much simpler. Weiseth said they are using drone-mounted LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) “to get very high resolution elevation data on the site, and that’s a very important piece that goes into the final design of the drainage plan.”

These demonstration projects are part of a broader irrigation strategy for the province, according to Ottenbreit.

Organizations taking part in these demonstrations include: · Saskatchewan Conservation and D e v e l o p m e n t Association; · Glacier FarmMedia Discovery Farm (Langham); · Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds; · Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association; · Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation; · Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association; · Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association; · Saskatchewan Research Council; · Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute.

NDP Water Security Agancy critic MLA Cathy Sproule said, “Water is an important environmental resource, and can be impacted by large scale projects. For example, unauthorized drainage issues has been rampant in Saskatchewan for many years with severe impacts on the downstream land owners.

Now that the WSA is no longer under the purview of the Minister of the Environment, how will the environmental impacts of these grants be assessed? In addition, we have questions around oversight with these projects – how will the spending be accounted for, what are the metrics for success, and how will the government ensure the people of the province receive full benefit for the investment?”

Staying summer active With COVID-19 restrictions being relaxed, both in Saskatchewan and neighbouring Manitoba things are getting back to more traditional summer norms.

And, that has meant heading to campgrounds such as Asessippi Beach and Campground north of Russell, MB. Last week the campground had mountain bikers, tenters, campers, river tubers, swimmers, disc golfers, and even a couple that stayed to have their honeymoon at the campground. Asessippi Beach and Campground also has some exciting news to announce as they are presently working on the Westman Border Fastball Museum which will be displaying hundreds of pieces of fastball history. The new museum will be opening in the not too distant future. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Submitted Photos
