Yorkton bodybuilder gets on national stage

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer A Yorkton bodybuilder has hit the national stage. Denise Kominetsky competed in Halifax in the figures competition, in doing so she has achieved her main goal of getting on the national stage.

“Since I started doing this in 2011, my goal was to get on the national stage. Last year, I won my Figure Tall category, so that granted me my ticket to nationals. For me, you’re competing with the best in Canada, so it is kind of surreal but kind of amazing to go on that stage. Even just getting on the national stage, I didn’t care if I got dead last... I got to nationals, that was my goal, it was amazing.”

Kominetsky did not get dead last, placing eighth in a crowd of 17. She says for her first national competition, she set a goal of being in the top ten, something she admits was an ambitious goal for a tough crowd of women, so she’s proud to achieve it.

She says that she began bodybuilding for health reasons. Kominetsky has crohns/ colitis, and says in 2011 she was at a low point healthwise, but was inspired by people who she knew who were competing, and she was inspired to try it for herself.

Her first competition she placed third, and says that hooked her in for good.

“I started from a little skeleton, because I was skin and bones from being sick... It takes a lot of time from start to finish. Some people think you can train for 20 weeks and be nationally ready, and maybe some people can, not me, it took a few years, and I need yet more years to get where I need to be.”

This is a change for

Kominetsky, who admits a love of working out was a relatively new development, but something that she has found empowering and rewarding.

“I was never a sporty person in school, I was always the artsy, crafty choir person.

I tried sports but the basketball kept getting away from me... But after 2011, I just love the gym. I love coming in and lifting and being able to look at the guy next to me and go ‘I can do that.’”

Kominetsky competes in the Figure category, which is the middle category, between bikini and physique. She says competition day starts early, as they get ready. She says that they’re very lean at that point, and many of them start eating lots of snacks on the day.

“You are eating all this junk food but you’re eating so healthy leading up. But the idea is that your muscle bellies need all that filling up with quick acting stuff.”

Kominetsky trains all year long for the event, with the build up to competition seeing her lift weights five days a week and doing cardio every day. During the off season she tapers off. She says it’s an intense training schedule, she trains all year but it gets more intense when in preparation for a competition, and says that it’s about building to a peak.

“You basically prep for 16 to 20 weeks for one day...

Even the professionals who it’s their job will not look like they do on stage all the time.

You can’t, you just can’t.”

If people want to start building, Kominetsky says that research is key, both because the training is difficult and intense, and because you need to do it properly in

non-existent if you’re serious about your prep, because you can’t drink alcohol, and you can’t stay out all night because you need your sleep, and sleep is a big thing. If you don’t get your seven to nine hours a night your body revolts against you.”

Part of the reason she does it is because she can see the results of her hard work, and so can people around her. She has been told she’s an inspiration to others, and says it’s a proud moment to know she’s influencing someone to improve their life.

“To be told you’re an inspiration, that’s more rewarding than getting a first place trophy to be honest with you.”

But while she knows that what she’s doing isn’t for everyone, she says that going to the gym and exercising, or making adjustments in the kitchen to improve your diet is for everyone, and she says if people work out in a way that makes sense for them they’ll improve their lives.

“It’s so beneficial for your mental health, physical health, anything... I encourage everyone just to get more active. You don’t need to be a competitor, that’s from 0-60 if you’ve never done anything, but just get up and move around... Everything in moderation, it’s just about healthy life choices.”

Her next goal is to get an overall figure win for a permanent national bid, and she says that it’s actually rare for someone in the tall DENISE KOMINETSKY is a Yorkton body builder who recently com- category to get an overall figpeted on the national stage in Halifax.

Threshermen’s Club celebrates 60 years

By Thom Barker Staff Writer For 60 years, the Yorkton Threshermen’s Club has been thrilling audiences with reenactments of the pioneer skills, methods and techniques that built this province.

The 60th Threshermen’s Show and Seniors’ Festival takes

place this Saturday and Sunday at the Western Development Museum.

Demonstrations of skills such as threshing, sawmilling, blacksmithing, grain grinding and rolled oats milling will give attendees an glimpse of the hard work put into harvest during the early part of the 20th century.

Of course, it wasn’t just farming that made

a pioneer family successful. In the early days, very few things were store bought.

Ice cream-making and bread-baking are just two of the homemade delights to be found at the show.

The York Colony Quilters Guild will also be on hand to demonstrate that essential skill of Saskatchewan heritage.

Of course, a perennial favourite part of the weekend is the stooking competition. With today’s massive equipment and modern methods, youngsters (meaning the under 80 crowd) would hardly have had occasion to recognize that ubiquitous Saskatchewan symbol without these kinds of heritage events.

Other highlights of

the show include the Antique Car and Tractor Competition, the Story of Harvest, plowing demonstrations and the hobby and handicraft sale.

There will also be a special 60th Anniversary exhibit, the details of which organizers are currently keeping under their hats.

For the kids there will be, as usual, old-

fashioned games, horsedrawn wagon rides and the popular Pedal Tractor Pull.

And, of course, the bandstand will be hopping all day both days, including the traditional hymn sing and pancake breakfast Sunday morning.

The show runs 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. August 1 and 2.

Hepatitis C: People need to Deal With It

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It’s a hidden epidemic, with most people affected being completely unaware that they have the disease at all. The Yorkton Film Festival and the Sunrise Health Region have partnered to help people understand Hepatitis C and get diagnosed, so they can get treatment as soon as possible.

They screened the film Deal With It: Untold Stories of HIV in Canada on World Hepatitis Day, which tells stories of people who were diagnosed with HIV throughout the country.

Deanna Bartok, HIV Strategy Coordinator

with the Sunrise Health Region, says there are an estimated 3-500,000 individuals living with Hepatitis C in the country, but many of them don’t realize they have it.

The Saskatchewan rates make up a significant portion of that number, as this province has a rate that is 1.5 times higher than the national rate.

“It’s very fitting to bring awareness of Hepatitis C and viral Hepatitis in general, and encourage people to get tested.”

The virus is spread through blood-to-blood contact and unprotected sex, and can be picked up by anyone, sometimes through very simple means,

Bartok explains. She says that it can be something as simple as sharing a razor or toothbrush with an infected person, as well as non-sterile injection drug use, or non-sterile tattoo, piercing or spa equipment.

“If this instruments are not being sterilized, there is a risk.”

The problem with the disease is that there are very few symptoms, and often they don’t arrive until the disease is at a very advanced stage.

“People can have it for a very, very long time and not even know they are infected at all.

It’s not until 15-30 years later that they might start to get symptoms... The only

way to know is to get tested, and that’s why we recommend everyone get tested.”

Bartok also says one of the goals is to reduce the stigma surrounding the disease.

She emphasizes that it is something that can be contracted by anyone, no matter their background.

“Often people think it’s ‘those’ people, who inject substances, but really it isn’t about ‘those’ people, anyone can be at risk and anyone can be infected and not even realize it.

There’s still some of that stigma and discrimination, but hopefully with more education and awareness that will change.”

If people do get test-

ed, they have a greater chance of having treatment work and avoid some of the serious consequences of the disease, which include liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver.

“It’s certainly a real-

ity check for the community, but with this film there is hope, because there is a treatment and it can be cured, and a lot of individuals don’t realize that.”

DEANNA BARTOK, HIV Strategy Coordinator with the Sunrise Health Region, introduces a screening of Deal With It: Untold Stories of Hepatitis C in Canada. The film, presented in partnership with the Yorkton Film Festival, explores the issue of Hepatitis C infection in Canada and the importance of getting tested for what can be a hidden disease.

CONSTRUCTION – Highway 10, between Highway 9 and Mayhew, is now under construction. The project is expected to last two months, and will see road reconstruction, an upsized water line, pathways and street lights.

Combined with construction on Mayhew the total cost of the project is expected to be $3.5 million.

People in countries with high levels of freedom are happier Countries with higher levels of economic freedom have happier populations, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“There’s a direct link between a country’s level of economic freedom and its citizens’ life satisfaction, or happiness. Clearly, living in an economically free society has an important impact on the average citizen,” said Fred McMahon, the Fraser Institute’s Dr. Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom.

The research paper, Economic Freedom, Individual Perceptions of Life Control, and Life Satisfaction, employs data from the World Values Survey, European Values Studies and the Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom of the World Annual Report which uses 42 distinct variables to rank countries around the world based on policies that encourage economic freedom.

The cornerstones of economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete, and security of private property. Economic freedom is measured in five different areas: (1) size of government, (2) legal structure and security of property rights, (3) access to sound money, (4) freedom to trade internationally, and (5) regulation of credit, labour, and business.

The analysis shows that living in an economically free country plays a greater role in one’s life satisfaction than does income, age, employment or even a country’s political system.

The study finds that economic freedom and life satisfaction are linked in two ways. First, there’s a direct correlation: Simply put, happiness derived from living in an economic free country is inherently valued. Secondly, economic freedom gives individuals the feeling of being more control of their own lives.

“If you live in a country where you can freely trade with others, choose your occupation, enter freely into business and keep more of what you earn, then you’re going to feel like you have control of your future which in turn is going to make you happier,” said Martin Rode, essay co-author and professor of economics at Universidad de Navarra.

“Past research concluded that economic freedom spurs prosperity, income, employment and better public institutions. The finding that economic freedom plays a significant role in individual life satisfaction is just another reason for governments around the world to work towards greater economic freedom for their people,” McMahon said.

Mayor’s dialogue positive This past week something was taking place in our city which was below the radar for most, yet it was an example of how communication is an important part of politics.

Yorkton’s Mayor Bob Maloney spent time talking with business people in our city.

These were not formalized talks, but were instead much more akin to looking at local issues over a cup of coffee.

It’s not a new process. The Mayor has done such walkabouts before. That he continues to undertake the effort itself suggests there is a benefit from the City’s point of view.

Of course that should be obvious.

Business people are major taxpayers in a municipality. They pay on the residential side for their homes, and again on the business side. So their interest is in a sense doubled.

They have an understanding of what it takes to be successful in business, and how a municipal government can play a role in that success.

And such success is important as it means more people employed, owning homes in the city, using municipal facilities, and making

the community vibrant.

That does not mean the business sector should have complete say in what happens at City Hall, but their viewpoint should at least be part of the process when developing policy.

In general the Mayor and Council are open to dialogue on issues, and business stays aware of what is going on at City Hall through efforts such as the local Chamber of Commerce having someone attending every Council meeting.

But we know too that often the best dialogue and sharing of ideas comes in the less formal settings. Having the Mayor stop in for coffee and informally listen to how the City might help a local business is a good way to share thoughts.

Being available, and listening, are important political skills, and while there will be times local government and business may not see eye-to-eye if the two sides can talk things out over that coffee, they are going to find more common ground than opposing viewpoints.

Sandra MacColl made a big impact for local arts I am rarely compelled to write a tribute to any one person, but sometimes you have to recognize someone who has gone, to honor their life, or even just a portion of their life, now that it has ended.

With the death of Sandra MacColl, I feel the need to recognize someone who has been an enthusiastic booster for the local arts community, and has made a real difference for local artists throughout the area.

The impact of MacColl was probably best expressed by the people who were featured in the Community Partners Gallery, she wasn’t merely someone who supported the work of local artists but someone who aggressively courted them to put a show together. It was a common refrain to hear people say it was MacColl who convinced them to show, even if they were reluctant, or unsure that they had work worth seeing. She was enthusiastic about what local people were doing, and she was going to show it to everyone else. If that artist was at all reluctant or unsure they were doing anything special, she’d push all the harder, as though she felt it was her mission to make sure these artists would be convinced they were making work of value, and work that was worth showing to the community as a whole.

I showed in that gallery myself at the begin-

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger ning of the year, as someone who had never shown at a large scale before. I had not even planned on showing initially, I just had a file full of photos I quite liked and figured I wanted to do something other than hoard them on my hard drive where nobody would enjoy them. So I sent MacColl a link, not expecting much of it, and in return was able to actually put on a show. I made mistakes in the process, sure, but it was a huge benefit to have someone who was so enthusiastic about what I was doing, who knew the places and people I could go for help if I needed it, and the knowledge of how to sell the show that I just didn’t possess. It was a boon for someone who was doing this for the first time, and I’m sure everyone else whose first real show was at that gallery felt the

same way. For a lot of us, it was the first chance to see that people wanted to look at our work.

I knew her professionally, rather than personally, so I don’t know much about her family, her past, her personal life, or anything like that. I am aware she was a teacher, and given her entire personality she was probably made for that job.

Otherwise, all I know is her relationship to art, and her excitement about bringing it to everyone around her. That’s enough to know that her impact outside of the arts community was a big one, even if I didn’t ever get to experience it.

There will be a substitute for MacColl I’m sure, there will be someone else who will serve as the big booster for the local arts community. There are many people in the area who view the arts scene in the city in as high regard as MacColl did, and they will step up and attempt to fill her shoes. If they can deliver a third of the energy, enthusiasm and force of will that MacColl did, that community will be well served going into the future. If anything, she created the environment that will ensure the community will continue no matter what happens, because she did inspire others and she did make them care about the local art scene. What there won’t be is a replacement, for that is impossible.

Your letter of the Week

Recognizing energy importance

More fair support for middle class

Last week, Canada’s premiers concluded their most recent meetings with the release of Canada’s Energy Strategy, a document that “charts a path for shaping the sustainable development of Canada’s energy future.” The plan includes such undefined recommendations as to “promote energy efficiency and conservations,” “transition to a lower carbon economy,” “facilitate the development of renewable, green and/or cleaner energy sources,” and “promote market diversification” for Canada’s energy resources, among others.

The real problem with the strategy, is that on many levels, it continues the somewhat contradictory approach the premiers have long displayed regarding energy development.

In this new report, the premiers play up the energy sector, while promoting policies that will cripple it. They laud the industry that directly contributes 10 per cent of Canada’s GDP and directly and indirectly employs more than 900,000 Canadians, making it one of Canada’s most

important industries, but they then accept politically-derived climate change goals that would require most of that industry to stop growth in only a few years if the targets are to be reached.

For example, the premiers accept the internationally set goal of limiting climate change to 2 C. But a recent study in Nature, a weekly journal, suggests that for Canada to do this, it must leave 85 per cent of its bitumen in the ground. Another study, recently re-crunched by environmentalists, of fossil fuel growth potential under the 2 C target, concluded that we must produce zero net new emissions by 2018—if the premiers mean what they say about that 2 C, they’re accepting the end of Canada’s hope for fossil fuel production growth in only three years.

Pipelines are another area that come in for the “we love you, we love you not” treatment. Pipelines, or rather “energy infrastructure,” did get some positive attention in the national energy strategy, with the commitment of ensuring access to market for Canadian energy

products (although it appears that this mention had to be hard fought for). But while often trumpeting the benefits of pipelines, provinces have been slow to actually approve the pipeline infrastructure desperately needed to ensure that Canadian energy makes its way to refineries. From the West Coast to the East Coast, proposed pipeline projects continue to languish, contributing to increases in the amount of oil transported by rail.

Indeed, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers projects that rail movements of oil will increase from 185,000 barrels per day in 2014 to between 500,000 and 600,000 barrels per day by 2018. The increase in transporting oil and gas by rail in the absence of pipelines poses unnecessary risk to Canadians, since on a comparative basis pipelines experience fewer incidents.

Another good example of contradictory energy policy is playing out in Alberta.

There, Alberta’s new premier gave a veritable barn-burner of a speech to oilsands industry executives

during Stampede, but has increased the carbon levy, established a panel to recommend further actions for the Alberta government to take on climate change, and struck a new royalty review, which if it’s anything like the last one will only drive investment out of the energy sector or into competing jurisdictions.

The premiers’ report recognizes the critical contributions that energy production makes to Canada’s economic health, and that demand for energy will only increase in the future.

But there and elsewhere, the premiers accept any number of things that will cut against that contribution. It’s nothing new when politicians speak out of both sides of their mouths.

Indeed, a cynical person might claim that’s the norm. But when it comes to a sector as important to the Canadian economy as energy, the usual kind of contradictory policymaking is something Canada can’t long endure.

Saskatchewan supporting patients with hepatitis with new drug To the Editor: Saskatchewan is marking World Hepatitis Day, July 28, joining efforts to raise awareness of the disease and support people living with hepatitis.

“Our government continues to support residents in accessing health services and new, effective treatment options,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said.

“Beginning August 1, the province will begin providing coverage for Holkira Pak, a new lifesaving drug

for patients with hepatitis C who meet certain medical criteria.”

Holkira Pak is the third new hepatitis C drug to be listed on the Saskatchewan Formulary in addition to Harvoni and Sovaldi, listed earlier this year. These new drug therapies offer effective, simple and fast treatment for chronic hepatitis C, and can cure patients in as little as eight to twelve weeks.

Over the next three years, Saskatchewan expects to provide coverage for about 1,100 patients who will meet the

Exception Drug Status criteria for these drugs.

“In addition to providing drug therapies, our province continues efforts to enhance prevention, encourage testing, and provide patient centred-services,” Duncan said.

“We’re committed to working closely with our partners and I want to thank them all for their involvement and support.”

Hepatitis is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the liver. The most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis

A, B and C. Hepatitis B or C can cause serious, long-term complications such as severe, permanent liver damage, liver failure and liver cancer.

For more information on hepatitis including symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, call HealthLine at 811 or visit www. healthlineonline.ca.

Budget needs attention To the Editor: The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation has come forward to say the provincial budget is a deficit budget.

Bond-rating agency Standard and Poor’s also calls the Sask.

Party’s 2015-16 budget a deficit.

The Sask. Party calls it something else. Kevin Doherty wrote in a recent letter to the editor that it’s more like he’s taking out a “mortgage” on the province.

Spin aside, this year the government plans to spend $700 million more than it will bring in, and save nothing. This will

push the province’s total debt to $13.3 billion, an alarming increase of almost $5 billion since just 2011.

That’s a shocking amount of debt. For me, what’s most shocking is that it was racked up during a time of record resource revenue, and we have very little to show for it.

Here’s what should be cut: the massive 227 percent increase in money for private consultants – nearly $200 million being spent every year; the ongoing John Black Lean program spending – well over a hundred million dollars has been spent; the multi-million dollar settlement for the over

$200 million failed and flaming smart meter program; the much more costly P3 scheme as opposed to the common-sense and affordable alternative; and cancelling the three more MLAs this government is adding.

By cutting government waste we can balance the budget once again, invest in what really matters like emergency rooms and classrooms, and we can start investing in a long-term savings fund – something we should have done long ago.

Doyle Fox Communications Officer Saskatchewan NDP Caucus

To the Editor: Canadians don’t have to settle for the Conservative government’s family policies that give the most money to those who need it the least. The Liberal Party has a better plan, one that is focused on the middle class.

Recently Conservative MP Garry Breitkreuz has been heavily promoting the government’s plan. Its cornerstone is “income splitting”, which gives a $2000 tax break to those making a quarter of a million dollars, but nothing to a single mom. It helps fewer than 15 per cent of Canadian households, and for those few, the biggest gains go to the wealthiest.

At a cost of $2 billion a year, income splitting uses an awful lot of money to help a small and select group. No wonder the late Jim Flaherty, while he was Finance Minister, said “I’m not sure that overall it benefits our society”.

The second plank of the Conservative plan takes an identical “cookie cutter” approach to everyone. It provides the exact same limited benefit to the wealthiest as to the working poor.

Only the Liberal Party has a plan for more fair, generous support for middle class families and all those working so hard to get there.

We will roll together the current jumble of child benefit programs, top them up with money saved from reducing government waste, and target the benefits to lower and middle income families. A new “Canada Child Benefit” (CCB) will provide a lot more help, to nine out of ten families.

The CCB will provide up to $553 monthly for each child under six and $450 for each child over six, indexed to inflation and completely tax-free. The benefit gradually declines for those with higher incomes.

A family with one child under six and a household income of $90,000 would receive $3,245 each year, over 50 per cent more than they do today.

A Liberal government will give a tax cut to the middle class and provide middle class families with more support. Our plan will create economic growth and put more money in the pockets of those who need it most.

That’s real change.

Wake up with a coffee and smell of smoke on the air On July 10, I telephoned my old neighbor, Ed, in Saskatchewan. He was waiting to get our new B.C. telephone number, as he knew our telephone was going into service that day.

Skype has served us well, but sometimes Ed wants to be able to pick up his phone and give me an earful about things at Melville. He admits he is a talker and if he can phone his relatives in Alberta, he feels he should also call me in Chilliwack BC. When I lived next door to him, he would quit talking to me over the fence if I said what he didn’t like hearing. At least when I called him in July, he did not hang up on me.

Ed was quick to tell me that the smoke from forest fires was on the

air in Melville a long distance from the fires to the north.

He said that then even the non-smokers woke up to smoke in the air with their morning coffee.

At that time, a hundred forest fires were burning in Saskatchewan. I told him smoke from forest fires was on the air here, and that we had 200 forest fires at that time in BC. Ed was sure that they could only be half as serious as the fires in SK. Ed and I have always had differing opinions on almost everything.

Rather than disagree on which province had the most serious forest fires, I told Ed that the air quality warnings issued because of smoke in the air had me humming an old

Neighborly Advice According to Ed

by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com song. The song was a big hit by the Platters way back when I was much younger. It was called, “Smoke gets in your eyes.” My old neighbor scoffed that no one would remember the song but me, but I simply said that he could be right.

Who remembers who, and who remembers what, are two themes that run through the Bible. In the Old Testament, Moses remembered that he was a Hebrew

and that his people were slaves in Egypt.

He had fled from Egypt because he had killed an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew slave. When he fled Egypt, he lived in Midian as a shepherd and ignored the

suffering of his people.

God did not forget their misery, and the result was Moses getting smoke in his eyes from a burning bush.

God spoke to Moses through his telephone connection. Instead of God’s phone ringing, Moses saw a bush burning, so he went to the burning bush to see why it just kept burning. God spoke from the bush to him, because God had a job for Moses to do. It was an impossible task at first glance. Moses was to lead the Hebrews out of

Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land.

The Pharaoh had no fear or respect for the Hebrew slaves or their God. The Hebrew people had been slaves in Egypt for so many generations, that they had largely forgotten their God. God had no difficulty overcoming the impossible situations facing Moses. There is no smoke in God’s eyes, even though his heart is on fire for his people.

He still leads sinners to the promised land of his freeing forgiveness.

Exercise and ailments: How exercise can help prevent disease The benefits of routine exercise are plenty. Daily exercise can improve mood, help reduce stress and make it easier for men and women to maintain healthy weights.

Regular exercise also can help men and women combat or reduce their risk for various ailments, including some potentially deadly diseases.

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue. Though postmenopausal women are most susceptible to osteoporosis, anyone can get the condition, which can lead to fractures and other bodily injuries. But routine weight-bearing exercises, including strength training, walking and jogging, can strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis and bone loss. A Nurses’ Health Study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that women who walked for four or more hours per week had 41 percent fewer hip fractures than women who walked less than one hour per week.

Back pain

People experiencing back pain may feel that inactivity is the best approach to overcoming it. But prolonged inactivity may only exacerbate back pain.

Men and women dealing with back pain should always consult a physician for the best approach to alleviating their pain.

Don’t be surprised if, during such consultations, your physician prescribes certain back exercises. According to www.spine-health.com, a Web-based resource for back and neck pain sufferers developed by a multi-specialty group of medical professionals, certain back exercises can distribute nutrients into the disc space and soft tissues in the back to keep the discs, muscles, ligaments, and joints healthy.

Heart disease According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death in United States, while Statistics Canada notes it is the second-leading cause of death among Canadians. Regular exercise can greatly reduce a person’s risk of developing heart disease by strengthen-

ing the heart, lowering blood pressure and helping the heart function more efficiently.

Even moderate physical activity can have a profound impact on heart health.

Type 2 diabetes A joint study from the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Diabetes Association found that participation in regular physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, a potentially deadly condition, the prevalence of which has increased considerably over the last several decades. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people who already have type 2 diabetes check their blood glucose levels before and after exercise to see how their bodies react to different activities.

Understanding such reactions can help people with type 2 diabetes prevent their blood glucose levels from getting too high or too low.

Exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle.

But while regular exercise can instantly improve your quality of life, it also can reduce your risk for a host of potentially deadly ailments.

TRUCK GIVEAWAY – Maple Farm Equipment ramped up their harvest promotion for this year, giving away a 2015 Ram 1500 to one lucky farmer who purchased qualifying equipment at one of the dealerships during the promotion. Den Luc Farms from Zenon Park won of the vehicle. Kevin Hitchings, General Manager, center, says that the farmers appreciate them giving something back through the promotion.

Another way they give back is by hosting local 4H clubs to do barbecues through the dealership through the event, Hitchings says, giving them the food and all proceeds. Also pictured are Craig Mehling, sales manager (left) and Mandy Price, chartered accountant with Collins Barrow (right) who made the draw itself.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 30, 2015 - Page 7A

The folly of consumer protectionism Years ago when I lived in Victoria and manned a small office, a salesman wandered in and tried to sell me his particular photocopier.

He noted my current machine was Japanese but his was Canadian.

So obviously, I should support Canadian jobs and lease his made-inCanada brand instead.

Of course, he was unaware I once lived in Japan, so his pitch fell flat. I wanted my Japanese friends and their compatriots to be employed every bit as much as my fellow Canadians.

In urging me to “buy Canadian” the salesman offered this attractive but misleading assumption: Buy goods or services from abroad and you’re a job-killer at home.

That Victoria salesman was not alone in his mistake. Plenty of people urge consumers and governments to “buy local” even if that is more expensive. The same people also often demand government enact barriers in the belief that will create or protect Canadian jobs.

For example, in British Columbia, opposition MLA Claire Trevena recently reintroduced a bill in the legislature to require B.C. taxpayers to pay more for transportation (though that’s not how she puts it). Trevena wants the government to require that all “ferries, sea-buses and any other vessels used by or for the public” in B.C. be “built, maintained and retrofitted in Canada.”

Trevena’s justification? “Direct economic benefits” and the cre-

ation of “good jobs for workers here.”

In Alberta, Premier Rachel Notley campaigned in April on a pledge to have more refineries built in the province. Her justification: Alberta deserves the refining jobs, not Texas.

Such protectionist sentiment knows no partisan or national boundaries. Last Christmas, American presidential candidate and Fox News host Mike Huckabee interviewed actor John Ratzenberger (who played Cliff Clavin on Cheers).

Huckabee and Ratzenberger engaged in a mutual admiration two-person convention on the supposed benefits of protectionist Buy America policies.

Their claims included how buying “overseas” cost Americans jobs and taxes, and was hollowing out “America’s middle class.”

But despite declarations from politicians, protectionist pundits and glib actors, here’s a news flash—protectionism doesn’t create jobs and economies. It kills them. That was the story of the Great Depression where many countries initially sought to “protect” their economies from imports; that ratcheted up costs, depressed demand, and killed off tens of millions of jobs worldwide.

Back then, as now, protectionists forgot that not every person, province or country can create goods and services at the same cost. Some are better than others at various jobs.

That’s called a “comparative advantage.”

That, combined with the opportunity cost of an action (what your time is worth) it is why a brain surgeon’s limited time is better used in the operating room as opposed to changing the oil on her car. (It is also why the shop mechanic is best advised not to perform neuro-surgeries on friends.)

Economically, an open, unprotected market not only sharpens one’s skills and makes transactions between people more efficient, the economy and employment numbers both expand because of such efficiencies.

Consider this simple example. Imagine you have $50,000 in disposable income to spend but government policies restrict competition where you live. The result is automobiles each priced at $50,000.

Buy one of those and you have nothing left to spend on anything else.

In contrast, take an open economy where automobiles cost $25,000. In that economy, the consumer has another $25,000 to spend: on a vacation or electronic goods or to renovate the bathroom, or all of the above.

Ask yourself which economy—the “protected” one or the open one—creates more jobs, including across borders? The latter, of course, given that more money can buy a greater number of goods and services. That means more people are employed the world over, from Toronto to Tokyo and everywhere in between.

The provincial politicians, protectionist American pundits,

actors and photocopier salesman are wrong.

Free trade creates many

more jobs than it ever kills.

Noteworthy bird sighting This Red-headed Woodpecker was sighted at Burgis Beach, Good Spirit Lake, Sask. in June 2014. It was originally noticed foraging on the ground under our bird feeder in our yard, which was not typical of our regular woodpecker visitors. Once identified as the Redheaded Woodpecker our research found that it was very uncommon for this area.

They commonly live in pine savannahs and other open forests. Also open pine, tree rows in agricultural area,

standing timber in beaver swamps and other wetlands all attract the Red-headed Woodpecker.

This bird is one of only four North American woodpeckers known to store food and is the only one known to cover its stored food with wood or bark.

This woodpecker hides insects in cracks in wood, under bark, in fence posts, and under roof shingles.

Grasshoppers are regularly stored alive, but wedged into crevices so tightly that they cannot escape. The Red-

headed Woodpecker’s diet consists of one third insects and two thirds plant material. They are one of the most skillful insect catchers among the North American woodpeckers.

For nesting, the Redheaded Woodpecker uses natural cavities in dead trees or dead parts of trees. They usually lay 3 to 10 pure white eggs, brooding once or twice per season.

Homegrown strawberries best!

Strawberries!

There is no comparison between the taste of fresh strawberries from your own garden and those that have earned air miles en route from California or Mexico.

Especially now as the local season started a few weeks ago and runs until September.

And growing your own is not difficult.

Begin with the site – full sun with shelter from the wind.

Avoid low-lying areas that are susceptible to frost damage.

Strawberries do best in a well-drained soil that has been cultivated to 10-12 inches and then generously amended with organic matter such as compost or well rotted manure.

Plant them in midspring, being careful not to allow the young plants (especially their roots) to dry out.

Place them 12 inches apart within the row with the rows 3 ft. apart. The mid-point of the crown should be level with the soil surface. Do not cover the crown with soil.

Gentry firm the soil around the roots and water thoroughly to the depth of the root system and beyond.

Mulch with a few inches of clean straw beneath the foliage and extending about 8-10 inches on either side of the plants. Do not cover the crown with mulch. The straw mulch will reduce weeds, maintain soil moisture and keep the foliage and fruit

clean. As well, it will prevent the splash of soil borne disease organisms, such as grey mould, (Botrytis) onto the fruit.

Control weeds between rows with either additional mulch or the business end of a hoe. Apply one inch of water weekly, more if extremely hot or windy. Once established, side-dress the rows with a fertilizer such as 16-20-0 applied according to label directions.

Ripe and ready strawberries are completely red. No further ripening will occur once they are off the plant. Fruit is best picked in the early morning while it is still cool. Leave the “cap” and stem on the berry. Avoid harvesting after a rain or irrigation. Wet fruit deteriorates more quickly. If disease is present, you’ll be spreading it as you move from plant to plant. Refrigerate the berries as soon as possible.

Young plants are generally more productive than older plants. To maintain the ‘youth’ of your patch, direct daughter plants (at the end of rampant runners) back into the row – they’ll root on their own. To prevent the row from becoming a solid mat, remove older plants mother plants at the end of the season.

Winter protection is needed where snow protection is not dependable. Cover the

plants with 10-15 cm of weed-free straw once temperatures drop to -5°C for several nights running and before -7°C hits.

Remove mulch in early spring once danger of frost is passed or the plants begin to actively grow.

Whereas your grandparents had limited choices, three types of strawberries are now commonly grown on the prairies: June-bearing, everbearing, and dayneutral.

June-bearing varieties produce a single

crop each year during a three to four week period in late June and July. Once fruiting is complete, the plant sends out runners which produce additional plants.

Everbearing cultivars generally fruit twice a year, from late June to early July and again in late August. The fruit is generally softer and less abundant than June-bearers or dayneutrals.

Day-neutral cultivars do not depend on day length to produce flower buds;

therefore, they produce fruit throughout the growing season.

Production is generally heaviest June and then in August and September. Their total production is greater than the other two types. And they generally produce a good crop their first year.

There are many varieties to choose from. Check with your local nurseries and GardenLine (see below) for recommendations.

Common unwanted lawn critters and pests Critters and pests can make landscaping afficionados want to pull the hair out of their heads. Such unwanted guests can come along just as a lawn or garden is rounding into shape, disrupting plant growth and leaving an unappealing landscape in their wake. The following are some of the more common critters and pests and how to recognize them.

• Chinch bugs: Chinch bugs like to feast on grass that is significantly exposed to sunlight. Though tiny chinch bugs are visible to the naked eye, homeowners may find they need to get especially close to the ground to see them.

Chinch bugs may be living in thatch, so dethatching your lawn with a rake can make it easier to detect their presence. As chinch

bugs rob grass of its moisture, they also inject toxins into the grass that loosens it from the soil.

• Grubs: Grubs are the larvae of beetles and are the nemesis of many a landscaping enthusiast because they typically produce patches of unsightly brown grass in their wake. The grass is discolored because grubs eat its roots, and the resulting damage may be mistaken for sun damage when temperatures are especially high. Worm-like in appearance, grubs also are a nuisance because they serve as a food source for wildlife, including raccoons and skunks. Such animals may cause further damage to a lawn in search of grubs to eat.

• Moles: Moles tend to appear in lawns that have been excessively

watered, as these burrowing mammals like to dig into the soil so they can fill up on grubs, insects and worms that live below the surface of a lawn.

Overwatered lawns typically have moist soil, which makes it easier for moles to dig.

The presence of moles is pretty easy to detect, as they typically leave mounds of soil in their wake. Those mounds are located where

moles have dug into the ground looking for food.

• Mole crickets: Mole crickets are a formidable foe to homeowners. As mole crickets tunnel through the soil beneath a lawn looking for insects to eat, they leave brown patches behind and affect the feel of the grass, which may feel as though it’s squishing and squashing beneath your feet. Mole crickets

may eat grass roots, so the presence of dying grass may be indicative of a mole cricket infestation.

• Voles: Voles are small rodents that chew their way through the grass, leaving unsightly trails of damage in their wake.

Homeowners who suspect their lawn has been victimized by voles can usually tell because the voles will leave noticeable path-

ways in the ground that can make a lawn look cracked in the way a roadway may looked cracked after an earthquake. Many critters are specific to certain regions, so before addressing a pest issue in your lawn, speak with a local lawn and garden or landscaping professional to confirm just which pest is causing so many problems around your property.

Getting To Know Barley Council Canada Over the coming months we will be featuring organizations and associations in North America that helps and works with farmers.

This week, we sat down with the Barley Council of Canada.

What is Barley Council of Canada (BCC) and what is the role BCC plays in Canadian Ag? The Barley Council of Canada’s role is to be the leader and coordinator for the barley industry – coordinating all links in the value chain, national approach. The BCC is designed to be the voice for barley farmers and barley industry members. Our leadership team is comprised of industry representatives and barley farmers, and we focus on these five main priorities:

innovation and research promoting best crop production services supporting market development increasing market access improving understanding and communications within the barley value chain Each sector of the barley value chain—producers, processors, feeders, malt companies or researchers—has its own ideas about the barley industry and how to make it strong.

It is this combination of the diverse perspectives within the industry that gives Canadian barley the exclusive representation it deserves.

We act as the leader and coordinator for the barley industry (coordinating all

links in the value chain, national approach). Barley is a unique crop with distinct qualities and market needs. Barley now has a champion—each end-use needs this council’s undivided attention to sustain quality, market demand and long-term profitability.

Can farmers participate?

How can farmers benefit from participating? We represent the entire barley value chain, from producer right through to processor and end-user. This is the first time in history the entire value chain has been brought together from coast to coast on a board of directors.

Farmers are encouraged to participate by volunteering their time to their provin-

cial commissions (Alberta Barley, B.C. Grain Producers Association, Sask Barley, Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, Atlantic Grains Council, Fédération des producers de cultures commerciales du Quebec) as a director or delegate—they can then provide a crucial voice at the national level. By participating in your provincial commissions you are providing a voice to the BCC table.

We need your voice at the provincial level in order to make change or progress at the national level.

The other thing farmers can do is help us to educate other barley growers about how the barley industry is progressing, what opportunities there are in growing barley and agronomic tips

to grow and market a profitable crop. They can go to BarleyCanada.com to gain information, they can also sign up for our newsletter by emailing Caitlan Carver at ccarver@barleycouncil. com Do you have any education or public outreach initiatives? How can the community help? We actively give back to our communities and are involved in national campaigns that support agriculture across Canada. We believe that philanthropy builds sustainability in agriculture.

Our team participates in multiple charitable events throughout the year. Our current project that we are supporting is Bees Matter.

Let’s build the future for Canada’s agriculture com-

munity!

What are you most excited about at the moment?We will soon be launching a campaign called, GrowBarley.

This will be a site and campaign to raise awareness of successful agronomic practices that will support farmers with their barley crops.

We are currently gathering production and marketing information from across the country from all sectors and regions.

This information, for the first time ever for barley, will be available online in one place where growers can find the answers from agronomic production to market and profitability questions.

Old Man on his Back Ranch designated a nocturnal preserve!

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is pleased to announce that the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) has designated the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area (OMB) ranch as a Nocturnal Preserve. The OMB ranch is owned and managed by NCC in Saskatchewan.

This designation highlights NCC’s commitment to protect the dark night environment for wildlife and guard against future light pollution in the area. It also features OMB as a rare

place for visitors to enjoy dark night skies and study astronomy. NCC is committed to maintaining minimal use of artificial light and to monitor light pollution at OMB. The RASC created its Nocturnal Preserve designation to raise awareness about the health and environmental value of dark nights for both wildlife and humans.

A Nocturnal Preserve has minimal artificial light, non-lighted signage, and structures that confine external illumination.

As a Nocturnal Preserve,

OMB will offer visitors the opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of a natural night.

The RASC’s Nocturnal Preserve designation, part of the Dark Sky Preserve Program, is the newest of three RASC designations that aim to promote the protection of quality night sky and minimize light pollution.

The RASC also awards the Dark Sky Preserve and the Urban Star Park designations.

NCC’s OMB Ranch is among the first in Canada to be designated a Nocturnal Preserve.

The NCC also manages a herd of genetically-pure plains bison that live on the 13,135-acre (5,316-hectare) ranch, located near Claydon in southwestern Saskatchewan.

QUOTES: “We are very proud to have been awarded this designation,” says Mark Wartman, Regional Vice President for the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Saskatchewan Region.

“The importance of protecting dark night skies against light pollution is just beginning to be understood. In addition to land conservation,

NCC now accommodates another aspect of our natural environment, that of dark night skies!”

“Artificial night light can change the night environment with a profound impact on the ecological balance of an area,” says Robert Dick, Chairperson of the Light Pollution Abatement Committee of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

“Preventing outdoor lighting, or at least minimizing its impact, is a major step in the overall protection of our nocturnal environment. And NCC’s OMB ranch is an

ideal setting as a Nocturnal Preserve.”

“The OMB ranch has always attracted nature and hiking enthusiasts, and those curious about the genetically-pure plains bison managed here by NCC,” says Natalie Nikiforuk, Natural Area Manager for southwestern Saskatchewan, Nature Conservancy of Canada.

“This designation adds another dimension to ranch visitors` experiences. We anticipate a host of astronomers, novice and otherwise, will visit the ranch to view its rich night skies.”

Agribition and Semex partner for a new purebred beef jackpot Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) will host a new bull calf jackpot event at Agribition in 2015.

President’s Classic presented by Semex, will take place in the Chevrolet GMC Stadium on Tuesday, November 24th.

A panel of three experts will judge bull calves within their breed, culminating in a grand finale featuring the champion of each breed vying for the President’s Classic title.

The total payout for the event will exceed $7,500.

“Semex is proud to be a part of this inaugural and exciting event. Bulls are our business and we are happy to support Agribition’s platform to identify the next great group of future herd sires developed by purebred beef breeders,” says Myles Immerkar, Manager of Global Beef Programs with Semex Alliance.

“Agribition is the country’s largest purebred beef show,” says CWA Beef Committee Chair, Chris Lees. “Integrating First Lady Classic and President’s Classic is an ideal way to kick off the week.”

Agribition drew in over 800 visitors from over 70 countries last year.

“These types of competitions are a catalyst in securing exports to new markets; they are widely regarded as an integral part of marketing beef cattle genetics for our producers,” says Lees.

First Lady Classic, presented by Merck, is also a jackpot event which sees judges select the top yearling heifer at Agribition. Last year the total amount paid out in First Lady Classic was $7,600.

Entries for President’s Classic and First Lady Classic close October 1.

Agribition and Mosaic to Showcase SK Food Story Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) is expanding the annual show’s programming to include a brand new Food Pavilion. This exciting new component is expected to attract new visitors and improve the overall shopping experience shared by CWA’s already active 125,000 annual visitors.

The Food Pavilion, presented by The Mosaic Company, features a variety of exhibits including food products, kitchen products, workshops, cooking demonstrations, As Seen On TV products, and food sampling.

“In recent years, CWA has become increasingly festive. The growth in our consumer shopping area has paved the way for the show to highlight the entire food story,” said CWA President, Stewart Stone. “We have all the best cattle here as well as exceptional grain and other livestock contributors. Creating a venue to highlight and market food from the prairies is a natural progression.”

The Food Pavilion is presented by The Mosaic

Company, who share CWA’s vision for the new venue.

“Food security is at the heart of what we do.

So, we are excited to be part of Agribition as the title sponsor of its new Food Pavilion,” said Sarah Fedorchuk, Senior Director of Public Affairs for The Mosaic Company.

“This unique guest experience will showcase the critical role that agriculture plays in the global food story as our industries work together to help feed the world’s growing population.”

“General consumer awareness about food and food products continues to grow; this new pavilion is a great way to allow for dialogue between producers and consumers,”said Stone. “We hope to see the venue visited by families from both city and country.”

The Food Pavilion, presented by The Mosaic Company will be officially launched on November 23rd as part of the show’s lineup.

CWA takes place in Regina, SK from November 23 to 28.

Farmland ownership consults Celebrating 36 Years in Business open for two more weeks There are two weeks left to participate in the farmland ownership survey. Consultations run until Monday, August 10.

As of July 24, 2015, more than 1,700 surveys have been received. The information collected will help the Government of Saskatchewan determine who should be allowed to own farmland in Saskatchewan.

“We are pleased with the amount of participation to date,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “That being said, there is still time left to take part, and I encourage everyone interested to have their say. The

more people who participate, the fuller our understanding will be of public opinion regarding farmland ownership in our province. It will help ensure that we make the best decisions for the people of Saskatchewan.”

Once consultations end, survey results and comments will be posted online in the fall of 2015. Names, addresses and all other identifying information will be removed before results are published. After the results have been analyzed, decisions will be

made regarding next steps.

The survey can be completed online at www.Saskatchewan.ca/ farmland. Paper copies are available at Ministry of Agriculture Regional Offices and can be requested by calling the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-4572377.

An education document accompanies the survey to give participants information regarding the existing legislation surrounding farmland ownership in the province.

Canada and china embark on new feed barley study A letter of intent recently signed between the Barley Council of Canada (BCC) and the China Agriculture University (CAU) could bear fruit for long-term profitability.

The letter of intent recently signed at a ceremony in Beijing, is part of an agreement to develop a joint CanadaChina feed barley study.

Triple Threat What could be better than collaborating on a feed barley trial with the most prestigious agricultural university in China? How about three trials?

“Our plan is to run three different feed barley trials, hopefully one a year,” said BCC executive director Phil de Kemp.

The first one would use high quality Canadian feed barley in up to 25 per cent of dairy rations to see if it generates more milk production and higher protein or butter fat. Based on the results, the next two trials would incorporate Canadian barley in cattle and hog rations, evaluating its impact on animal health, weight/ carcass gain and all aspects of meat quality.

A Kernel of an Idea The seeds of this project were first sown at the BCC’s annual general meeting in February. Knowing that the federal agriculture minister was leading a trade mission to China in May or June, the council looked at what could be accomplished on the trip. And while a flight to China is great for gathering air miles, de Kemp saw another angle.

“We started asking who we could partner with to enhance Canadian export opportunities. The Alberta Barley Commission is finishing up a trial with Japan looking at beef, and the CAU expressed great interest in a similar undertaking with barley.”

Choosing China

Of course, the reason for going with China on this study went far beyond “we happened to be in the neighborhood.”

As de Kemp pointed out, “there’s a real shortage of protein in China right now. Since feed barley produces three leading proteins in western Canada – beef, pork and dairy – this is a chance to validate the unique attributes of Canadian feed barley and help meet the growing Chinese demand.”

With China’s feed barley imports rising to about six million tons over the last 18 months, and their disposable income moving in a similar direction, the people want more choice and availability of protein, and de Kemp wants Canada to be a part of that.

“Boosting their protein intake is beneficial to the Chinese, and what’s good for them can be very good for Canadian barley as well.”

Sharing the Wealth In true Canadian fashion, this initiative isn’t just about how barley exporters can benefit, but how many others can profit in the process.

“By adding export market opportunities for feed barley, whether it’s feed varieties or malting barley varieties not selected as malt, we can increase barley acres and provide not only for our industry, but for the cattle and hog industries as well. Plus, more acres mean more security of supply, giving producers other options for crop rotation besides wheat, canola and specialty crops. They can now add barley with confidence.”

While there are still “i’s” to be dotted and “t’s” to be crossed, de Kemp views this opportunity as a big first step to greater collaboration with China and other countries.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 30, 2015 - Page 15A

We need to talk about TPP It is a bit hard to tell, but Canada is part of one of the largest trade negotiations that have ever taken place. Hard to tell because not many seem to want to talk about it. Canadian reaction to the negotiations seems a bit like a fiveyear old putting their hands over their eyes and hoping no-one sees them. That needs to change.

I am talking about The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations.

These talks are rapidly running to the finish line.

Canada is at risk of being last in the race.

Canadians cannot afford to let that happen.

What is at stake?

The twelve countries involved in this AsiaPacific deal make up 40 percent of the world’s gross domestic product.

Canada is a trading nation.

We cannot afford to take a back seat in 40 percent of the world’s economic activity.

Canada has some sensitivities in the negotiations. We are not unique. Everyone one of the twelve countries around the table have sensitive domestic

This is an ideal opportunity for Canadian farmers and the entire agriculture value chain. issues. These range from the U.S. “buy America” programming, sugar, cars, clothing and of course agriculture.

What does make Canada unique is that the other 11 TPP partners are talking about their sensitivities, while Canada seems to be waiting. Other TPP members have indicated that Canada risks being left out of the deal completely if we don’t quickly come to the table.

There is much to gain. Incomes in the Asia-Pacific region are rapidly rising. Trade between Asian-Pacific countries is growing faster than any other region in the world.

Countries in the TPP are not just importing more, they are importing higher quality. This is an ideal opportunity for Canadian farmers and the entire agriculture value chain. We

are very good at supplying growing economies with high quality food.

Just as there is much to gain, there is much to lose. Asian-Pacific countries are top buyers of Canadian grains and oilseeds. For example Japan imports about 1.5 million metric tonnes of high quality wheat every year. They are one of our most consistent customers. What happens to this market if competitors like the U.S. and Australia gain preferential access?

The status quo is simply not an option.

Either Canada is part of the TPP agreement and is able to participate in the region’s growth or we are left on the sidelines while our competitors gain the benefits of better market access.

Canadian participation should really be a no-brainer, but Canada will likely be asked to make decisions at an inconvenient time.

Inconvenient because these decisions will need to be made before October 19th (electionday in Canada, for those who are not political junkies).

Farmers keep track of research farm

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Parkland College and the East Central Research Foundation have been working together since 2013 to do agriculture research in the region, examining crops and procedures in order to give useful information to local farmers. They recently hosted a field day in order to give producers in the area an idea of what they are doing this year.

Mike Hall, instructor and researcher at the farm says that the goal is to use research to provide farmers with information they can use, and something like a field day is a tool to keep the farm on the minds of producers.

There are 26 projects on the farm, enough that not every trial could be brought up in depth at the field day.

They planted everything from fava beans, peas, wheat, oats, flax, canary seed and canola. They also test a wide range of different things, whether that means fertility trials, fungicide trials or growth regulator trials.

Hall says many of the trials are there involve changes farmers can implement right away on their own operation after they look at the research Parkland is doing.

One of the projects that generated the most interest among farmers assembled at the event were fava beans. Hall explains that the interest is due to a need for a legume to grow in order to fix nitrogen to the soil, but

a desire to move away from peas, which were suffering from root rot diseases. The interest in fava beans is coming from success other producers have had with the product, particularly in the north.

“It’s catching people’s attention. It’s a really great fit for us, it’s just a matter of finding a place to sell your product.”

The goal of the fava bean trials is to determine the best way to grow the crop in this climate. There is a learning curve for the

crop, especially since many producers haven’t grown it before, so Hall wants to give them information to help decide how to grow the crop on their own farm.

“The whole point of the research trials is to try a wide variety of different combinations and make all the mistakes so a farmer doesn’t have to make the mistakes.”

A research farm is still a farm, and as such faces the same challenges that any other farmer encoun-

ters. Hall admits that the dry start to the year was frustrating, and flea beetles and frost were major issues for a few of the trials. The canola trials had to be re-seeded, for example, and flax trials were thinned out, though other trials bounced back from the difficult start to the year.

“In the end, it looks good now, but it was a little frustrating in the beginning.”

One limitation for the research project is space. Hall says that they’re hitting the edge

of the land use, and that they’re on a constant search for more land in order to keep the research farm working.

“You need a three year rotation out of plot land before you go back into plot land, and I’m running out of land.”

The plan for the 2016 growing season is not set, though they are looking ahead to the future and considering possibilities relevant to the area.

“It’s like a race, once you’re done harvest you don’t even have

time to analyze the data right away because you’re writing research proposals for next year.”

Given that one of the main goals of the project is to stay relevant for area farmers, Hall emphasizes that they want people to know what they’re doing and what the results of the trials are each year.

Their work is cataloged on their website at www.ecrf.ca which also provides information on other events hosted on the farm.

THE PARKLAND COLLEGE and East Central Research Foundation recently hosted a field day to show area farmers what projects they have on the go, and what they hope to learn in order to help them make decisions for next year’s growing season.

How sweet it is! Bees matter campaign creates a buzz For many people, the only time they think about bees is when they get stung. But given that one third of the food we eat is linked to pollinators like honey bees, losing them would really sting.

That’s why the Barley Council of Canada is pleased to support and be a part of Bees Matter, a website and awareness campaign mounted by several agricultural groups to maintain and enhance our thriving population of pollinators.

“Globally, 80% of the plants consumed depend on pollination, largely by honey bees,” said Gregory Sekulic, an agronomist for the Canola Council of Canada and a spokesman for Bees Matter.

“Awareness” is the Buzzword As a founding member of the campaign, the Canola Council and its partners are focused on protecting honey bee health and raising awareness of the strong bond between beekeeping and primary agriculture.

For example, “there are very few barley growers who don’t have other crops that rely on pollination,” said Sekulic. “So whatever we do to preserve the honey bee could affect producers as well.”

At the same time, Bees Matter is encouraging farmers to take an active part in the process, teaching them how to minimize their impact on bees wherever possible.

Help Them Help You If you’ve ever done the frantic search for a late night drive-thru to feed the munchies, you understand the stress that hunger pangs can induce. Now imagine spending eight hours a day doing that.

“For honey bees, a third of their life involves flying to find pollen they can bring back to their hives,” said Sekulic. “By pollinating a diverse range of plants, they also contribute to the success of our communities.”

With that in mind, Bees Matter introduced the Buzzing Gardens program in partnership with farmers across the country.

“Supporting honey bee health means ensuring that hives are within flying distance of a wide variety of flowers that bees can visit.”

By offering everyone a free packet of seeds, enough for a five square foot (.45 square meters) garden, “we’re giving Canadians what they need to plant their own pollinator garden.”

Sekulic is thrilled with

the tremendous response to Buzzing Gardens.

“People appreciate that it’s something they can do in their own backyard and make a meaningful contribution to bee health.”

Given the response, Sekulic would like to see the seed packet program expanded into parks and suburban developments down the road.

“We’d love to work on public projects and get more pollinator-friendly habitats growing in various municipalities across Canada.”

In an age where bad news rules the ratings, Sekulic and his partners on Bees Matter are glad to be part of a feel-good story this time.

“Primary agriculture and beekeeping have enjoyed a positive relationship for thousands of years. Bees Matter is a further illustration of what can be accomplished when we work together.”

And if you can’t get buzzed about that, something’s wrong.

Cigi hosts annual grain industry program for international customers Representatives from 14 countries attended the 48th International Grain Industry Program at Cigi (Canadian International Grains Institute) in Winnipeg, starting July 20.

The two-week program will offer 27 international customers an overview of the Canadian grain and field crop industry with an emphasis on wheat and pulses and their use in end products.

The participants include senior representatives from trading organizations, mills, and processing companies from Bangladesh, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and United Kingdom.

In addition, representatives from Cereals Canada and the Canadian Grain Commission are attending. While at Cigi the group will participate in classroom sessions and technical demonstrations on Canadian grains and pulses including an introduction to the Canadian industry, inspection and grading,

handling, transportation, marketing, and technology.

“Each year the International Grain Industry Program provides a unique opportunity to meet and interact with a number of senior representatives from companies from around the world that buy Canadian grain,” says Rick Morgan, Cigi Manager of Business Development, who is chairing the program.

“Customers gain a better understanding of the Canadian grain industry which also serves to help maintain Canada’s competitiveness in the face of stiff competition in the marketplace. This ultimately benefits the entire value chain.”

The participants will learn about the processes involved in milling, baking, Asian products, pasta, and analytical services through presentations, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations in Cigi’s pilot facilities. They will also have an opportunity to meet with senior industry representatives from grower organizations, grain companies,

Cereals Canada, the CGC, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre.

While in Winnipeg the participants will also tour a Manitoba grain farm, seed farm, primary elevator, the CGC, and CMBTC facilities.

Toward the end of the program, the group will travel to Vancouver BC where they will visit the CGC, a terminal elevator, and Port of Vancouver.

Cigi is an independent not-for-profit market development institute created in 1972. More than 42,000 people representing grain, oilseed, pulse and special crops industries from 115 countries have participated in Cigi programs and seminars. Cigi’s mission is to increase utilization of Canadian grain and field crops through superior knowledge, technical expertise, industry leadership and collaboration, innovative processing solutions and targeted training to customers around the world.

Cigi is funded by farmers, the Government of Canada (AAFC) and industry partners.

Haying continues in the province. Livestock producers now have 54 per cent of the hay crop baled or put into silage, with an additional 18 per cent cut and ready for baling, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report.

Rain showers have delayed haying in some areas. Hay quality is currently rated as two per cent excellent, 52 per cent good, 38 per cent fair and eight per cent poor. Hay yields on dry land are well below the five year average (20102014). Average hay yields on dry land are estimated to be 0.8 ton per acre for alfalfa, 0.9 ton per acre for alfalfa/ brome hay, 0.7 ton per acre for both other tame hay and wild hay, and 1.3 tons per acre for greenfeed. On irrigated land, average hay yields are estimated to be

2.2 tons per acre for alfalfa and alfalfa/brome hay, 2.5 tons per acre for other tame hay, 1.9 tons per acre for wild hay, and 3.1 tons per acre for greenfeed.

The Ministry of Agriculture has a Forage, Feed and Custom Service listing for producers to advertise and source feed products. It is available at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/ FeedForageListing.

Much of the province received rain last week that has helped alleviate moisture stress in some regions.

Rainfall ranged from small amounts to several inches.

Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved in many areas. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as two per cent surplus, 52 per cent adequate, 33 per cent short and 13 per cent very short.

PQ

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 36 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 20 per cent very short.

Sixty-six per cent of fall cereals, 68 per cent of spring cereals, 64 per cent of oilseeds and 63 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year.

Crops are ripening quickly, although the majority remain in poor-to-good condition. Lack of moisture and insects such as grasshoppers and aphids have caused the most crop damage this week.

Farmers are busy cutting hay, controlling pests and readying harvest equipment.

Supporting the Advancement of Women in Agriculture Advisory Group members announced by CAHRC The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) recently announced the formation of the Advisory Group for the Supporting the Advancement of Women in Agriculture project. This project will examine and address critical barriers to advancement facing women in the industry.

Based on these results, there will be a strategic program developed and implemented to support improved access to leadership opportunities and strengthened business success for women working in agriculture.

As the project moves forward, the Advisory Group will provide feedback around key lines of

enquiry to ensure meaningful outcomes for the agricultural community.

This includes identifying subject matter experts to participate in the research, development and validation activities.

Members will also assist in guiding the progress of the project for the next two years and as findings come in will provide feedback on proposed research instruments, tool drafts, report drafts, and other project elements.

The Advisory Group is comprised of professional and entrepreneurial women and men in the agriculture industry with an interest in advancing women in leadership roles. Members were drawn from senior man-

agement and executive positions in farm businesses, agricultural associations and agribusiness.

They provide a balance of representation from across Canada as well as a cross-section of production areas, business focus and industry associations.

The members include: Heather Broughton, Agriculture and Food Council of Alberta, AgriFood Management Excellence Inc. Chantelle Donahue, Vice-President Corporate Affairs, Cargill Limited Dr. Annemieke Farenhorst, NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences, University of Manitoba

International Trade Centre Investment Announced Recently Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced a commitment of $22 million, through Growing Forward 2, for the construction of a new 150,000 square foot multipurpose facility at Evraz Place called the International Trade Centre.

“Both Agribition and Farm Progress are institutions here in Regina and major contributors to the Saskatchewan economy,” Ritz said. “This investment provides a world-

class venue that will draw international visitors to Saskatchewan to get a firsthand look at Canada’s dynamic agriculture industry.”

“Our government is proud to invest in the International Trade Centre,” Stewart said.

“This multifunctional facility will make significant contributions to our province’s strong and diverse economy. It is going to be an important facility with the ability to attract and host a variety of large events that benefit trade and agri-

business in our growing province.”

The primary goal of this investment is to enhance the stature of significant agricultural events such as Canadian Western Agribition and Canada’s Farm Progress Show which generate significant agricultural-related spending and returns for the industry. In addition, the facility is expected to attract other large events such as consumer trade shows. The facility will also connect existing buildings on the grounds, making it one of

the largest interconnected event facilities in North America.

“I am very proud of council for starting the work on this project, along with our team at Evraz Place,” City of Regina Mayor Michael Fougere said. “As a cityowned facility, this venue will help increase the profile of Evraz Place and offer a lot more possibilities for events being held there.”

Evraz Place is a 102 acre site made up of a variety of multipurpose event buildings, barns, and sport and recreation facilities. It

also contains an arena and a convention centre. The International Trade Centre will replace a number of old buildings and barns on the property. It will be located between the Ag-Ex Pavilion and the Canada Centre complex.

“We are very grateful for this funding that will help to make the International Trade Centre possible,” Evraz Place President and CEO Mark Allan said.

“This project will take the facilities at Evraz Place to a world-class level.”

Regina City Council will

discuss the city’s portion of the funding at its meeting Monday, July 27. Pending their approval, the project is expected to kick off in November 2015, following Agribition. Construction should be completed by November 2017.

Growing Forward 2 is a cost-shared partnership between federal, provincial and territorial governments designed to support an innovative, competitive and profitable Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.

A Blue Moon, and an order of Rings I spent a lot of time trying to nail down the logical starting point for a little back yard star gazing, but finally realized that I’m not really in charge. Apparently, the universe waits for no one, so as we don’t want to miss anything, we’ll just dive right in.

Step 1: Wait ‘til it’s dark, then go outside and stand in it.

Step 2: Pick a spot away from any lights that may shine in your eyes; and on this occasion, with a good view to the south. It could be

your own back yard (or your neighbour’s back yard if you’re really quiet), or a nearby park or open area.

Step 3: Look around The first thing you’ll see is the Full Moon, whether you want to or not. As the second Full Moon of the month, this is a (once-in-a) ‘Blue Moon’. The last one was in August of 2012, and the next will occur in January of 2018. None of them will actually be blue.

More importantly, we have about a month to

by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. follow the planet Saturn before it disappears behind the Sun. Saturn can be found a little west of south about a hand-span above the horizon. It’s not overly bright, but significantly brighter than anything

in its immediate neighbourhood. If you think that’s it, it’s probably it.

As with any planet, Saturn requires some optical aid for any detail. With binoculars in steady hands, the stellar dot will change

Avoiding unhealthy habits at the office According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, working professionals spend an average of 8.5 hours per day at work. Many professionals spend much of their time at work sitting down in front of a computer, which can be detrimental to longterm health.

Staying sedentary for long periods of time can contribute to a host of health ailments, including being overweight and obese.

But professionals who work in offices can take various steps to ensure all that time at work is not having an adverse affect on their overall health. • Get out of your seat. Modern workplaces are built around

sitting, so workers must find some time to stand up and stretch.

Sitting too long can compromise posture and lead to craning of the neck for looking at the computer screen.

Get out of your chair, walk around the office and get the blood moving in your body. • Pack your lunch.

Bringing lunch to work puts you in greater control over the foods you are eating. You can pack a healthy and diverse selection of foods. Don’t forget to also bring some snacks that offer a healthy mix of protein and carbohydrates to keep your energy levels up.

Otherwise, you may succumb to the temptation of the lunchroom snack machine.

• Take frequent breaks. Stale air inside an office environment can make you feel fatigued and less productive. Also, spending too much time behind your desk may contribute to feelings of stress and tension. Use every opportunity possible to get up and leave your office. Instead of sending an instant message or making a phone call to a coworker, visit him or her in person. Use your lunch hour to get outside instead of eating at your desk. Plan a brief, mid-afternoon walk outside of your office to clear your mind and get some fresh air. • Disinfect surfaces often. Oftentimes, when one person at the office gets sick, many

Get relief from sunburn Sunburn is something nearly everyone will experience at least once in their lifetimes.

Though men, women and children should look to prevent sunburn entirely, sometimes sunburns occur, making those exposed to too much sun uncomfortable and possibly even dealing with considerable pain.

Sunburn is marked by red, sensitive skin that can be hot to the touch. Inflammation and blistering may occur.

The Skin Cancer Foundation says that while sunburn may seem like a temporary irritation, it can cause long-lasting damage to the skin. Treating sunburn may require several different

approaches. • Get out of the sun the moment you first feel irritation. Your skin may not be red, but irritation may be the first indication that you are being burned by the sun. • Take cool baths or showers to relieve the pain and heat in the skin. Cool, damp towels also can do the trick. • Use a moisturizing lotion with aloe vera. Avoid moisturizers with petroleum, as they will lock in heat. • The American Academy of Dermatology notes that sunburn may lead to dehydration.

Drink plenty of water to keep your body well hydrated. • Blisters may occur if sunburn is particularly bad. Do

not succumb to the temptation of popping the blisters, as doing so may result in an infection. • Take a dose of ibuprofen to reduce swelling and counteract the pain. Ibuprofen also may help prevent some long-term damage. • If a blistering burn covers more than 20 percent of the body, seek medical attention. In addition, visit your physician if a sunburn is accompanied by fever and chills. • Keep sunburn covered up with tightly woven clothing to aid in healing.

Sunburn can be painful and increase your risk for skin cancer, so prevention and treatment should be taken seriously.

others soon follow.

Colds and the flu can spread rapidly in close quarters. Keep your desk drawer stocked with some alcohol swabs or disinfecting spray and routinely clean your keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and desk surfaces. You also can wipe off door handles and knobs around the office if you want to be proactive. • Rest your eyes.

Close your eyes and look away from the computer monitor every 20 minutes.

Focusing on objects of varying distances can help keep the eyes strong and reduce fatigue. It’s not difficult to remain healthy at work. Breaks, exercise and watching what you eat can help.

to small oval. This may not seem like much, but it will appear exactly as it did to Galileo when he first trained his small telescope on it in 1610.

He reported seeing ‘ears’, and decided they were closely orbiting moons.

To actually see the ‘ears’ requires a basic telescope, not available in the 1600’s. Saturn, at 10 times the Earth’s diameter, will not appear overly large, but

its spectacular rings spread out more than twice the planet’s diameter. The entire ring system has a thickness of less than one kilometer, but a diameter of 282,000 km, or 35 Earths lined up shoulder to shoulder.

Mark Saturn down as a must-see, if not this summer, then in the near future. It’s a jaw dropper, made even better as it’s available from your own back yard.

Prairie Toyota Clarkson Cup Tour Visits Yorkton Saturday, August 1, 2015 at Tim Hortons from 3:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.

Hockey fans will be out in full force as the Prairie To y o t a Clarkson Cup tour visits Yorkton, SK. The tour features Canadian Women’s Hockey League stars, Olympic gold medallists and Amazing Race fan favourites, Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson.

Also there for fans to see is the Clarkson Cup trophy and the tour’s highlight: a 26’ x 20’ mobile synthetic ice rink where kids can test their skills along

with two of the best hockey players in Canada.

The tour is proudly presented by the Prairie Toyota Dealers, the Official Automotive Sponsor of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. Over the course of 8 weeks the event will hit 26 markets across the Prairies.

Full tour dates and times at PrairieToyota.ca “We’re excited to have the Prairie Toyota Clarkson Cup Tour come to Yorkton,” said

Evan Ortynsky, Dealer Principal at Yorkton Toyota. “Hockey is a big part of our community and we’re happy to have the opportunity to help grow the sport in our own backyard.”

Schedule for the Yorkton event: Saturday, August 1st, 2015 Tim Hortons – 375 Broadway Avenue 3:00PM-7:00PM (Fans are encouraged to bring skates, helmets and sticks – although a few loaners

Health benefits of meditation Massachusetts General Hospital, says meditation can help thicken the prefrontal cortex of the brain, helping to reverse the pattern of cognitive function decline as one ages.

• Protect against heart disease: There is some indication that meditation can reduce concentrations of the marker C-reactive protein, which is associated with the development of heart disease.

• Stimulate the immune system: A study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine found that mindfulness meditation increases electrical activity in the areas of the prefrontal cortex that serve as the command center for the immune system. When these areas are stimulated, the immune system works more effectively.

• Reduce blood pressure: The stress-boosting properties of meditation can help reduce hypertension.

Researchers at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine attribute this to the increase of nitric oxide during meditation. Nitric oxide gas can expand blood vessels and open up blood channels.

Some experts also say that meditation can decrease metabolism and improve breathing.

Meditation may be a mind-body way to beat some of the conditions

Meditation is often trumped as a means to reducing stress and restoring healthy function in the body. While meditation might once have been considered a New Age treatment, in recent years it has developed into a mainstream practice supported by both traditional and alternative medical providers.

The Mayo Clinic says that anyone can practice meditation. A costeffective treatment that does not require any special equipment or location, meditation has been practiced for thousands of years and originally was developed to help people understand the mystical or spiritual forces of life. Although meditation for some may still have religious or spiritual connotations, in a medical sense it is typically used for relaxation and stress reduction.

Various studies show that meditation can be associated with improvement of a variety of issues.

Researchers describe meditationbased changes as ones that actually change the brain. Changes in the circuitry of the brain may affect the way a person responds to specific situations. The following are a few ways to put mindful meditation to use.

“As a CWHL player and a native of Saskatchewan, I am so excited to be a part of this event,” said Meaghan Mikkelson, Calgary Inferno forward and Olympic gold medallist. “For Nat and me to tour the Prairies talking to young fans about their goals and dreams is such a big part of our vision at the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. We know that this event will inspire young people and build new fans of women’s hockey – we couldn’t do this without the Prairie Toyota Dealers’ incredible support.”
