Saltcoats students learn about nature By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The kids at Saltcoats School had a chance to learn about nature. As part of the Yellowhead Flyway Birding Trail Association’s Spring Symposium, Colin Laroque with the University of Saskatchewan and Lacey Weekes with Nature Saskatchewan came to give the kids interactive presentations. Weekes spoke to kids about shore birds, and the different adaptations they make to survive, dressing up a student with the different adaptations to demonstrate what that means for how the bird looks, acts and gets their food. “They may not think of those things when they look at birds, but hopefully now when they look at a bird they will notice the wings, notice the legs, the toes and the beaks. What kind of beak a bird
has indicates what food they have been eating and what habitat they need to survive.” Laroque talked to kids about the trees of the province, getting them up close to the wood itself. “A tree is a tree, but there are actually quite a few different species out there, and they’re all doing different things in the environment and they all show us different things in the environment. Just having them understand there are different trees out there is a big step.” Both presentations were highly interactive for the students, and that was by design, because it gives kids something that is not like their regular school day. “Often they just haven’t seen these things before, it’s not your typical school material, so suddenly they’re excited by it, and when they’re excited about it you can get them really excited
about what you’re doing.” Part of the goal for the day is to reduce the disconnect between kids and nature, something which they believe will be more successful the younger they start. “We have a better chance of getting them just as excited about a butterfly, a bird or a tree as they are about an iPad or an X-Box,” Laroque says. “If kids feel a connection to nature and those animals, they are more likely to want to protect them and keep them around for future generations,” Weekes adds. Reaching kids is also a good way to reach adults, Laroque believes, as education can go in both directions. “Very often you can teach something to a child, like what’s the difference between a birch tree and a spruce tree, and they go home and teach mom and dad. Sometimes it’s surpris-
ing.” The YFBTA sponsored the presentations to the school, and Weekes says that throughout Saskatchewan, local
nature organizations like them are vital for nature in the province. “It’s really important that smaller communities get together and have
these local nature societies that play an active role in the community and get people excited about nature and conservation.”

City comes out to support missing teen By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Mekayla Bali has been missing since April 12, and the com-
munity showed up in large numbers to support the family of the 16 year old at a candlelight vigil in City Centre Park.
Mary Baron, friend of the family, says that Bali being out of contact with her family for so long is out of character for her, and they
can’t think of a reason why she would have left. Over a hundred people came out to the vigil, and Baron says that the family is overwhelmed by the support that the community is giving at this time. “Tonight just shows what an amazing community, and it is a community, that the city of Yorkton is... We’re just hoping someone in the crowd has that little piece of evidence, the little piece of the puzzle that fits everything together.” The family has been working closely with the RCMP in finding Bali again, and Baron says they hope events like the vigil will spark a memory in someone
which will help her be found again. The family also has a message for Bali herself. “Mekayla, if you are seeing this, we love you and we want to know you are safe. Your mommy, siblings, grandma and auntie miss you very much. You are not in trouble, please call us to let us know you are safe. We love you to the moon
and back and that will never change. Please, please, please contact us as soon as possible, we love you.” Anyone with information on her whereabouts is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800222-TIPS (8477), text Sask Tel at *8477, or submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.

One month until the Yorkton Film Festival By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
In one month’s time, the best of short film will be celebrated at the Yorkton Film Festival (YFF). Now in its 69th year, the festival is gearing up for the big weekend on May 26 to 29. Randy Goulden, Executive Director of the YFF, says that the reason the festival is now the oldest in Canada is thanks to the community. Whether it’s sponsors, volunteers or board members, the local people are what make the festival work. “It’s really made us
the talk of the country when it comes to film festivals.” Volunteers are the “ambassadors for Yorkton and the province,” and they are still looking for more, whether it’s shuttle drivers to collect the filmmakers, mini-cinema, registration, or Lobsterfest. She notes they always need people to keep the festival going, and if anyone wants to help there are plenty of opportunities. The plans are charging forward, with 250 entries. Goulden emphasizes that the festival is more than a weekend, and entries in
the festival are taken beyond the weekend event. She notes that one of the entries, Sticks and Stones, is about curling, and a film that she’s very excited about screening not only in the festival, but taking into communities through outreach programming. “We’re very pleased with the quantity and the quality of the films, and how it speaks to the every day lives of Canadians.” While the festival has events year round, the festival weekend is the signature event, and provides many opportu-
nities for filmmakers. The commissioner of the National Film Board and the CEO of the Canadian Media Fund will be at the event, as well as a variety of panels over the weekend. The opening film of the festival will be “The Sabbatical,” directed by Saskatchewan filmmaker Brian Stockton. Goulden is proud to have a Saskatchewan production open the festival and is excited about bringing Stockton to kick off the event. She also notes that the program for the awards celebration is bringing back one of Yorkton’s
sons, with Alvin Law as the emcee for the evening’s celebration. The signature event of the festival will again be Lobsterfest on May 27, held in conjunction with the Yorkton Lions. Goulden says that it’s an event that’s about bringing people together to see what Yorkton has to offer. She also notes that the evening skeet shooting will be a rare opportunity for the filmmakers, and says the Yorkton Wildlife Federation’s support at the festival is vital to have that part of the event go well. “This is an opportunity for filmmakers and
Yorkton residents to sit around tables talk about the city and what the filmmakers do and enjoy some really good Yorkton hospitality. The Yorkton Lions are phenomenal and the partnership we have with them is exceptional.” Whether it’s teaching young people how to make films through what Goulden calls the best one-day film school in Canada, or new programming through the entire year, the festival is entering its 69th year at its strongest point, and is building towards the next seventy years of film.
Community Concert Band spring concert By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yo r k t o n Community Concert Choir, Community Concert Band and All That Jazz Big Band are getting ready for their next concert. The perfor-
mance, on May 1 at 2:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart High School, will feature a selection of choral classics and popular film themes to delight the audience. The Community Concert Band draws people from far away to play
in the group. Coming each week from Russell, Manitoba are Larry Schroeder and Mana Motoyama. A Japanese exchange student, Motoyama says she joined because she was feeling very homesick. Under the sugges-

tion of her teacher, she joined the band, and she says that helped her feel more at home in Canada. “The people here were very kind to me, and that helped my homesickness get better.” Schroeder had heard about the band before, but only joined when a group from Russell had decided to become part of the band. Since he had been a part of a band in Thompson, MB, he wanted to join another. “It is an opportunity to make music and, not necessarily relive what we did in high school, but a place to connect with people with a like mind who want to make music.” Motoyama says that joining the band has been a way to connect with people. Since English is not her first language, she says it’s easier to connect with people in Canada through the band than it is through other activities. “It’s a good opportunity to communicate with people, especially for me... Playing music together is beyond language.” Both Schroeder and Motoyama encourage people who are interested to consider joining the band. The environment is friendly and welcoming, and it’s a good way for
people to get an instrument back in their hands and start playing again. “It was 25 years between when I graduated high school and when I played in a concert band again... Some people will say that it’s been so long since I’ve played, but it
doesn’t take long to get back into it, get the chops back and get back into the swing of things, come out and enjoy it and try again,” Schroeder says. Motoyama adds that playing together with the group is a great deal of fun.

Let us just say Ewwwwwwww Bed bugs. Just saying those two little words is enough to make the skin crawl. Seeing them in the same sentence as Yorkton Regional Health Centre is alarming. The health region is, of course, downplaying the fact that these flattened, ovoid parasites showed up at the hospital last week. “They are a nasty nuisance, [but] bed bugs do not transmit disease,” said Sharon Tropin, Sunrise Health Region director of communications. “They are not considered a health hazard.” That may be largely true. A fairly recent paper titled Bed Bugs in Healthcare Settings, published November 2012 in the journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, notes that even though bed bugs have been found to carry infectious organisms including hepatitis B and HIV, it has never been proven, either experimentally or in clinical practice, that these insects transmit these viruses or other pathogens. Never been proven, of course, does not mean impossible. And the paper suggests there are implications for health facilities that are not very well documented, possibly at least partly because healthcare facilities tend not to report infestations due to the negative publicity. The authors address that stigma: “Even though infestations are nowadays a common occurrence even in high-end hotels, laypeople still associate bed bugs with poor and unsanitary conditions.” Unfortunately, they do make there way into even the cleanest places because they are tiny, flat and very good at hiding. Tropin said it looks like the health centre’s bugs hitched their way in on the belongings of a patient. As soon as they were discovered, an exterminator was called in and the hospital was deemed bug-free by Monday. Still, it is concerning that they found their way in and that they are in Yorkton. While bed bugs might not pose much of a threat of transmitting infectious disease, saying they are not considered a health hazard depends a bit on your definition of health hazard. They are bloodsuckers, which means they bite and their saliva contains proteins that dilate capillaries and prevent blood from coagulating. That can, in certain people lead to some pretty significant skin reactions and even fever and anemia. Although these reactions are unusual, they are not unheard of. Other health hazards also occur. “An overlooked consequence of bed bugs is the significant psychological distress that it can cause among victims,” the study states. “Insomnia, fatigue, distress, social isolation, anxiety, stigma, and persistent crawling sensations on the skin (even after elimination of bed bugs) have been described.” The authors acknowledge it is probably impossible to absolutely prevent bed bugs, but recommend a number of risk minimization procedures. It study concludes: “The clinical consequences of these insects are mainly dermatologic. However, a major stigma is still present among individuals or facilities found to harbor [sic] bed bugs. Therefore, there is a need to educate healthcare workers on how to screen for and respond to bed bugs. Hospitals need to be prepared for this pest by implementing policies before infestations arise. “Additionally, further research is needed to determine the role played by bed bugs and other arthropods in the horizontal transmission of pathogenic bacteria, as well as the role that various types of materials used for hospital furniture play in increasing the propensity of infestations.” We know the Yorkton hospital had traps in place for early detection of an infestation, which worked. And, we applaud the health region’s quick action in dealing with it. It appears they have a pretty good reactive policy in place. We hope they will review their proactive practices as well in order to ensure everything possible is being done to prevent a recurrence at the hospital or infestations at other facilities. Whatever bed bugs are not, Tropin was correct in saying they are nasty.
It’s okay to mourn a celebrity Celebrities, like everyone else, will eventually die. This year has been a good example of this inevitability, with famous people from a wide range of fields dying. Going by memory, there have been musicians David Bowie, Merle Haggard and Prince, comedian Garry Shandling, actor Alan Rickman and wrestler Chyna. In every case, there is a large outpouring of grief from people, most of whom have never met the people in question, which is inevitably followed by someone wondering why someone is acting so sad about someone they’ve never met before. Part of it is just the shock of seeing someone you are aware of being dead. It’s especially true of actors, who are eternally young even while they age, because their work makes you forget that they’re getting older. After all, we just saw Alan Rickman yesterday and he looked fine, apart from the fact that he was falling off a skyscraper in Die Hard. That film was made 28 years ago, but it hasn’t really gone away, making it more surprising that the actor playing the villain is gone. In our own life, the news of someone dying is often met with someone saying “but I just saw them,” especially if it’s something sudden. For a celebrity, we have mentally just saw them, whether it’s a film they did, an album they recorded or a public appearance we remember. Even if there has been a long decline in the years since that work took place, we still associate them with their productive periods, making their deaths a shock almost every time. A surprise isn’t the source of the actual sadness. In some ways the person is also not the source of the actual sadness, most celebrities we have never actually met or had a conversation with, so it’s hard to say that we knew them. In the case of a celebrity, people get sad because of the work they left behind, and more importantly, how that work was integrated into their lives as a whole. Songs can become associated with moments in life, and the memories of good times can quickly become associated with different periods of our lives. The right film can help us when we’re having difficulty in our own life, as we see things in our own life reflected on screen or escape from stress through light entertainment. A good comedian can help us forget our troubles in the same way, even a good wrestler. The people behind the songs, behind the films, on stage and in the ring, they quickly become an indirect part of our lives. We might not have ever met any of the people I’ve mentioned, but they were there, whether they were providing the soundtrack or giving us the stories that entertained us. Our lives inevitably contain the works of others. When those people die, and they do, we are sad because we recognize the impact in our own lives.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger We are sad because the world has lost a person who has helped make us happier, even if they realize it or not. We are mourning the person who wrote the song which was in the background when we finally danced with that person who we always had a crush on. We are mourning the person who starred in the movie that we went on an enjoyable road trip with friends to see. We are mourning the person whose joke we referenced at a party that got a big laugh from everyone around us. We are mourning the person who was wrestling on television while we were kids one carefree summer. We recognize that the people who created this art were real people who had an impact on our lives, and now they’re gone. We are also sad because it’s a reminder that a certain period of our life is gone. That time when you first discovered that artist that made an impact in your life is quickly receding into the rear view mirror, and the artist themselves dying is another example of that march of time. We can’t go back to the point where their work meant more than anything, even if we can play it back and remember those feelings again. To see them die is a reminder that the time has passed and we’re no longer in the same place we were before. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, and thanks to recording technology we can always replay the work and go back to that time in our minds, but we’re still reminded that time keeps moving whether we want it to or not. So the next time someone protests that there is no reason to be saddened by the death of a celebrity, don’t feel bad if you don’t agree. Whether or not you knew someone personally, it’s still possible to be affected by what they did in the world and what they left behind. I might not have known the people mentioned in the first paragraph, I might not have even been a fan of some of them, but I can recognize the impact they can have in lives far beyond their own. And that’s why we mourn celebrities, not in the same way we mourn someone we know, but because their work has become a part of our lives as well. It’s remembering their impact, rather than who they were as people.

The sunny side of climate change
After last week’s article where I suggested you stand around in the dark trying to see Jupiter’s moons through binoculars (admittedly a challenge), the signing of the Paris climate change agreement last Friday has prompted me to recommend an activity that requires no binoculars, or effort, at all. Find a sunny spot sheltered from the cool spring winds, and stand in it. Nice, huh? The Sun is essentially a large ball of hydrogen and helium involved in a runaway nuclear reaction, and it’s close enough to annually give millions of us radiation burns, although most
prefer to call it a ‘tan’. It is simultaneously harmful and benevolent. It is the source of virtually all heat on the surface of the Earth (volcanism heats the interior), and responsible for virtually 100% of our weather, and, over time, climate. The Sun varies between low and high activity over a cycle that averages eleven years, although it’s been a little erratic recently. It is this solar cycle that drives our weather. The best indicator of the intensity of solar activity is the number of sunspots, areas of intense magnetic storms on the Sun’s surface. The higher the solar
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. activity, the more sunspots you see. We are currently coming off a high period, but one which was lower than average. No reason; it just was. This follows a longer than normal minimum around 2009, where solar activity appeared to take a few years off before picking up again. This unusual solar

cycle means is that the normal heating and cooling cycles we’ve grown to expect on Earth have been a little random these last few years, making the weather a little had to predict. So, why the weather is a bit weird is easy to explain; the Sun’s acting strange. Why the Sun’s acting strangely is not

known, but records back over the centuries have recorded that this is nothing new. The truth of the matter is, our sun has done lots of odd things in the past, and will undoubtedly do unusual things in the future. It’s a star; that’s what stars do. What can we do about it? ‘Absolutely nothing’, and that’s what politicians around the world have just agreed to do over the next few decades with billions of your tax dollars. In Douglas Adams’ scifi novel ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’, it turns out that (spoiler alert) the answer to The
Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, is 42. Fans of Adams’ books know he writes humorous fiction. What isn’t funny is that too many people don’t realize that the manmade climate change crowd is feeding them science fiction as well. Climate change is real, but as usual, facts are optional when politics is involved. The fact is, you and I have an almost negligible impact on the world’s climate. The science of astronomy points to the real culprit, and it can be felt from a sunny, sheltered spot, in your own back yard.

Your letter of the Week The liquor debate in Saskatchewan is over To the Editor: This was originally printed in the Regina Leader-Post and Saskatoon StarPhoenix. People don’t need the government’s help to buy or sell a beer. That statement is so obvious it seems strange that it’s been a point of contention for so long, but as of April 4, 2016, that debate is officially over: Saskatchewanians are absolutely fine with privatizing the provincial liquor system. The Saskatchewan Party was crystal clear about its intention to move steadily toward liquor privatization long before the election – there was no hidden agenda. First, the government announced it would level the playing field so that offsales, private stores and government stores would all have the same regulations and the same wholesale prices. No more stupid rules about who can’t sell cold beer and no more forcing off-sales to get their supplies at sky-high prices. The playing field will be level so that private stores and government stores can compete to give
customers the best service. Second, the government will shut down 40 of its least profitable stores and transition them to the private sector. The only thing more obvious than the Sask. Party’s position was the opposition to it. The NDP’s platform plank regarding the liquor system came under the heading “stop privatization.” It proposed to put more beer fridges in government stores, sell more local beer and consider setting up government kiosks in grocery stores. But it too was crystal clear: it was the NDP’s priority to keep liquor sales in the hands of government employees. And the Saskatchewan Government Employees’ Union must have spent millions on TV ads and mail-outs to amplify that message. The other side was comparatively quiet. Small town hotels that run off-sales didn’t buy ads. Neither did the new private stores. Even the Canadian Taxpayers Federation didn’t say much despite the fact that we’ve spend decades on this issue and pushed the specific recommendations that
formed the foundation of the government’s proposed policy. What did SGEU members get out of all of the union dues plowed into the one-sided debate? The government plans to turn the Battlefords liquor store over to the private sector – if the people there are outraged it didn’t show up at the ballot box, as support for the government went up by more than 9 per cent compared to the last election. Another one of the 40 stores transitioning to the private sector is in Lloydminster and the government’s support went up by 20 per cent in that riding. Surely the riding of Regina Elphinstone-Centre would register more of a backlash because the Broad Street liquor store is on the list, but the NDP support only ticked up by 2 per cent. This specific issue has been thoroughly debated. The government made its position clear. The opposition made its position clear. And the people made a clear choice. Where do we go from here? The question is no longer whether government should get out of the booze busi-
ness, but rather how and how quickly? The current policy of leveling the playing field for both private and government stores is a great start. Closing the least profitable government stores to make room for new private stores is another important step. But there’s more to be done. The provincial government still monopolizes liquor warehousing. It’s a choke point for supply chains, especially for specialty products. This is silly. A government owned booze warehouse makes about as much sense as a government owned box factory or a government owned potato company. Change will take time and may even require new legislation, but the government has a clear mandate to move forward. There is a role for government regarding liquor. Government should regulate liquor. And, whether we like it or not, government will always tax liquor. But the people have spoken: government shouldn’t be in the business of selling liquor. Todd MacKay is the Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Rush captain happy with Saskatchewan support It was a huge weekend in terms of lacrosse in the province when the National Lacrosse League Rush played a home-andhome set with Colorado recently. As a storm began to close in on Colorado the two West Division teams met April 15 in Denver, knowing the game, and the one to follow the next night in Saskatoon were likely to settle who would top the Division for 2016. “It was phenomenal,” Rush Captain Chris Corbeil said of the atmosphere surrounding the weekend set. “Obviously it was a very, very important weekend.” Corbeil, who began his pro lacrosse career in 2010 with Buffalo said it was a truly unique experience. “I can’t remember another regular season weekend that important,” he offered in a telephone interview with this reporter. The game in Denver was played with the threat of a spring storm that could have snowed both teams in. “We started hearing rumours about the storm the day before,” said Corbeil, so they were aware flights out to get back for the game in Saskatoon were being threatened by the weather.
However, the Rush Captain said players can’t control such things, so they focused on the task at hand, getting a win over the Mammoth who had not lost at home this season. “Our real duty as players was to worry about the game,” he said. And the Rush did that winning the contest 11-5. The five goals by the Mammoth tied their team record for fewest goals scored in a game. The storm might have actually earned an assist in the win, added Corbeil. “It’s a tough arena (Pepsi Center) to play at,” he said, but added with a storm pending “there were not as many fans in Denver as there usually are.” The two teams then boarded the same charter flight out of Denver just ahead of the snow, to get back to Saskatchewan for Saturday. Corbeil said being on the same flight has some unique dynamics. “No question it’s a little awkward,” he said, adding it was likely easier on the Rush having won the game that night. “We just stayed in the front of the plane, kept our heads down and were respectful,” he said. The next night at
not just Saskatoon, so that it was clear from the outset this was the province’s team. But back to the sold out game against the Mammoth who needed a road win to hold onto any hope of first in the west. Well that hope was quelled as the Rush won 11-8, before a crowd standing and cheering as the clock ticked down. Corbeil said the Rush may be in first place with a 12-4 record, but they have not dominated games as they did in 2015, but against the Mammoth he said it felt as though the team was clicking in all aspects of lacrosse. “It was our best weekend so far this year as far as our all-around play,” he said. The Rush would however falter a bit this past weekend with the west won. They dropped a decision to Vancouver, never holding a lead in the 14-12 loss. That leaves first overall in the NLL up in the air as the Rush and Buffalo both head to the final weekend of regular season play with 12-5 records. Saskatchewan is in Rochester Saturday, while the Bandits host New England. Whatever happens the Rush will sit out the first
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels SaskTel Place it was packed with an announced sold-out crowd of more than 15,000, myself and three buds from Yorkton happily counted among them. Corbeil said the Saskatchewan fans are something special the way they have trekked to the arena in ever increasing numbers over the ninegames played at SaskTel Centre this year. “It’s the most fans we’ve been playing in front of in a long time.” In fact, Corbeil said the team is actually not 100 per cent sure how to take the big crowds. “Everyone in the dressing room is so giddy, it’s kind of funny. It’s something were not accustomed too,” he said. For Corbeil it’s actually a dream come true. He said as a youth who already loved playing lacrosse he would attend Toronto Rock games at the Air Canada Centre in an era the Rock
were the NLL’s best and playing to sold out crowds. It became a dream to play pro lacrosse in front of sold out crowds of cheering fans. “And now I’m living it,” he said. That said when it was first announced the Rush would be moving to Saskatoon from Edmonton Corbeil was not a fan of the plan. “I’ll admit I was probably the biggest skeptic,” he said. The reason was simple enough, he feared the grassroots of lacrosse were not set very deep in Saskatchewan. “There wasn’t a huge lacrosse community in Saskatchewan. I didn’t think people we’re familiar with the sport. “Boy was I wrong. “There’s no question lacrosse has struck a chord with the Saskatchewan.” Corbeil noted it was a conscious decision to be the Saskatchewan Rush,
round of the playoffs as Division winners, not playing a home playoff game until May 21, in front of what is almost assured to be a sell-out crowd myself and a bud included. So is sitting around awaiting an opponent a good thing? “My thoughts on it are sort of twofold,” said Corbeil. Since NLL players usually have 9-to-5 jobs scattered across the country the Rush will literally be sitting at home awaiting an opponent with no arena floor time as a group. Corbeil said you want to stay in a groove, you want to be playing. In that regard the sitting team can be at a disadvantage. “On the flip side … You don’t have that singlegame elimination,” offered Corbeil. “In a one game playoff … So much is left up to chance.” And then there will be the advantage of home arena and screaming fans. “I grew up playing a lot of sports, baseball, hockey, lacrosse,” said Corbeil. “There’s no sport like lacrosse with such vicious momentum swings.” And that is where fans come in, screaming if the home team gets up early, and being an element to start a rally if they are behind, said Corbeil.
New legislative session begins May 17 Premier Brad Wall announced on April 20 that the first session of the newly-elected Legislative Assembly will begin on Tuesday, May 17 with the election of the Speaker in the morning followed by the Throne Speech that afternoon. Wall said the government will focus on its election commitment to keep Saskatchewan strong. “Earlier this month, Saskatchewan people gave our government a renewed mandate to
keep Saskatchewan strong during this challenging time caused by low oil prices,” Wall said. “In the upcoming session, we will focus on doing just that in three key areas: keeping our economy strong, keeping our provincial finances strong and keeping Saskatchewan’s place in Canada strong by always standing up for Saskatchewan’s interests.” Wall said the government is currently working to prepare its legislative agenda and the prov-
incial budget, which will be based on its platform in the recent provincial election. “We made only a few new spending promises during the campaign and we intend to keep those promises,” Wall said. “Obviously, the budget will be tight as we work to keep our provincial finances strong and get back to a balanced budget by 2017. “In terms of legislation, we will be moving forward on our election promise to remove the Saskatchewan Liquor
and Gaming Authority from The Crown Corporation Public Ownership Act. This will enable us to fulfill our promise to convert 40 government-owned liquor stores to private stores and add 12 new private liquor stores.” Wall also announced that the work on the new dome of the Legislative Building is nearing completion and will be unveiled in a public ceremony on Monday, May 16 – the day before the beginning of the new Legislative Session.
More details will be announced at a later date. “The new dome represents renewal on the outside of the Legislative Building and the new session will represent
renewal within the Legislative Building,” Wall said. “I am looking forward to the new session as our government continues with the work of keeping Saskatchewan strong.”

Merle Haggard tribute at Dauphin’s Countryfest
Country music icon Merle Haggard was scheduled to perform on July 3rd at Canada’s longest running country music festival. On April 6th, Dauphin’s Countryfest, along with the rest of the world, mourned the loss of this legendary singer, who passed away on his 79th birthday. Dauphin’s Countryfest will honour the late Merle Haggard on Sunday, July 3rd with a very special performance exclusive to Countryfest, by his sons Ben Haggard and Noel Haggard and his long time band, The Strangers. Both Ben and Noel are country music artists and musicians in their own right,
with Ben playing guitar alongside his dad on recent tours. Joining them will be multi-award winning singer/songwriter Jamey Johnson who has performed with Merle on several occasions in the past. In an April 18th interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Jamey Johnson calls Merle Haggard a mentor and a friend, adding “Merle taught me how to make music, and that’s how I make my living and feed my family today. I couldn’t owe anybody a greater debt of gratitude than I owe Merle Haggard.” “You cannot replace an icon like Merle Haggard”,
says Countryfest Promoter Rob Waloschuk. “We couldn’t think of a better way to pay homage to the life of this prolific singer/ songwriter than to have his family and friends perform a tribute concert. Merle fans won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime performance, exclusive to Countryfest, that will no doubt get major press coverage from across the country.” Tickets: The 27th annual Dauphin’s Countryfest takes place June 30-July 3, 2016. Weekends, VIPs, Dailies, Camping and Reserved Seating are on sale now! Tickets can be purchased online at www.
countryfest.ca, by calling 1-800-361-7300, or inperson at the Dauphin’s Countryfest office (28 2nd Avenue NE in Dauphin). About CountryFest The 27th annual Dauphin’s Countryfest takes place June 30-July 3, 2016. Canada’s longest running country music festival has been attracting the biggest names in country music to one of the most beautiful regions of Manitoba since 1990. Situated on the edge of Riding Mountain National Park, the unique outdoor amphitheatre built into the side of an escarpment provides every patron a perfect view from any one of the 14,000 seats in the
house. Dauphin’s Countryfest is a not-for-profit organization that consists of a 12-member volunteer Board of Directors and a membership of more than 2000 loyal supporters. Organizers credit over 2000 volunteers who work tirelessly each year providing essential services for the festival weekend, while fundraising for their respective community organizations. In addition to various community contributions, Countryfest pays out approximately $150,000 each year to community organizations that provide services for the festival. Dauphin’s Countryfest
was named a finalist at the prestigious Canadian Tourism Awards in 2013, nominated in the category of Tourism Event of the Year. The festival was also awarded the 2012 Philanthropist of the Year Award from The Dauphin & District Community Foundation, given to individuals or businesses that show the true spirit of philanthropy and giving.

Safe disposal of syringes
Minimum warranties protect car buyers
If the power-train of a recently purchased vehicle fails, consumers have new warranty protections to help them get repairs or a refund. The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) wants car buyers to know about minimum warranties offered under the new Vehicle Dealer Regulations under The Consumer Protection and Business Practices Act (CPBPA). The minimum warranty is designed to protect consumers from getting stuck with a junk vehicle or significant repairs shortly after purchasing it. The power train warranty covers all vehicles with less than 200,000 kilometres, sold by a licensed dealer, for 30 days or 1,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. If any component of the power train fails during the warranty period, the purchaser can choose to have it repaired or require the purchase price be returned. If repairs are to be made, the dealer may only require the consumer to pay a maximum of $200 toward the cost of the repairs.
The new minimum warranty requirements do not apply if the consumer misused the vehicle or the defect was brought to the buyer’s attention in writing before the purchase was made. Dealers are required by the new regulations to disclose all reasonably knowable facts about a vehicle’s condition and history before a sale is made. Having all the facts helps consumers make better decisions when it comes to buying a vehicle. Buy From a Licensed Dealer The FCAA encourages all consumers to purchase vehicles from licensed dealers. The new minimum warranty requirements do not apply to private sales. Consumers have greater protections when buying from a licensed dealer. FCAA411 To ensure consumers are buying from a licensed dealer, they should ask for a licence number and confirm it is valid on www.fcaa.gov. sk.ca/fcaa411/. More info is available at www.fcaa.gov.sk.ca/min-
warranty. Contact FCAA If consumers have questions about minimum warranties or have a dispute with a licensed dealer, they can contact the Consumer Protection Division toll free at 1-877-880-5550 or by email at consumerprotection@gov.sk.ca.

MUDRAY Loving memories will linger forever. It is with heavy hearts and much love that we mourn the passing of Nellie Mudray on April 20, 2016. Nellie Lees was born March 19, 1930 in Jedburgh, Saskatchewan. She was one of nine children born to John and Marcellina Lees. She moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba and met the love of her life Walter Mudray in 1950. They were married in 1952 and she became Mrs. Nellie Mudray. They moved to British Columbia in 1968 and spent 19 years living in various cities all over BC, eventually settling in Abbotsford. Nell proudly called Abbotsford home for the past 29 years. With Wally, Nell loved to travel all over Canada, the United States and Europe. They made wine together and they loved their pets, Simba, Cheemo and Brandy. Nell was a take charge kind of person; always ready to lend a helping hand. You could always lean on her; she was always there for you. After Wally died, Nell enjoyed volunteering her time, going to Mass and loved spending time with loved ones. Nell will be missed for her kindness, caring and generosity. Predeceased by her loving husband Wally; parents John and Marcellina; sister Rose, brother John and sister Annie. She is survived by her sisters Katie, Mary, Helen, Irene (Pat) and brother Fred (Pauline). She is also survived by her many nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, extended family and friends. She will be missed always by many. A Prayer Service was held at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, 33333 Mayfair Avenue, Abbotsford, BC on Monday, April 25, 2016 at 7:30 p.m., where funeral Mass followed on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Donations may be made to St. Ann’s Parish, Abbotsford, BC.

The Lily Beetle - be prepared for everything
Canadian prairie gardeners can be proud of the many early plant breeders who developed hardy, drought-tolerant, diseaseresistant Asiatic lily hybrids in a vast array of colours and heights that we enjoy today. I’d much rather write about these lilies than the lily beetle (Lilioceris lilii). But if left uncontrolled, the lily beetle could destroy both our garden lilies and fritillarias. The beetle first arrived in eastern Canada in the 1940s and has been slowly making its way west. Until very recently, Saskatchewan had escaped its onslaught. But it was sighted in several communities in 2015 including Saskatoon, Tisdale and Leask. It is unmistakable: bright red, with a black head, large black eyes, long black antennas, 8-10 mm long, and oval in shape. When in distress, it can “squeak” to warn off predators (or gardeners). Adult beetles overwinter in the soil or under leaf lit-
ter, often near the plants they feed on. They emerge in late April or early May and soon settle down to feed and mate. Females lays 2 to 16 reddish-orange eggs on the underside of lily leaves in an irregular line. These hatch within 8-10 days. Newly hatched larvae are black, while older stages are yellowish-white with a black head. The lily beetle larvae deposit their feces on their back (this is called a “fecal shield”), a protection against the heat of the sun and to disguise itself from predators. The larvae feed for about three weeks and can devour entire lily plants. Once mature, they enter the soil, change to an orange colour, pupate and emerge as adults after three weeks. At this point, they feed on lilies until cold weather sets in, when they head back underground to overwinter. The lily beetle has no natural enemies in North America. In Europe, a para-
Praise for braising
sitoid wasp, Tetrastichus setifer, controls them. This wasp has been released in eastern Canada where it is beginning to control the lily beetle. More recently, it has been released in Alberta in Olds, St. Albert and Calgary. For lily-loving gardeners, the best control of the lily beetle is a non-chemical approach as broad-spectrum insecticides kill both the beetle and its predators. Be observant: as soon your lilies emerge in the spring, check them regularly for signs of beetles, eggs and larvae. The most effective means to control beetles is to handpick (or squish eggs and larvae). If you’re already feeling squeamish, wear gloves, carry a pail of warm soapy water to drop the beetles into, or bribe a less sensitive 10-year old. Insecticidal soap is an effective larvacide. Don’t accidently import lily beetles. Un-pot potted lilies over newspaper and check the media carefully for eggs, larvae or adults. A much safer bet is to plant washed bulbs from a reputable source. Before plant-
Chef Dez on Cooking will be different for every application. Stews are usually submersed in liquid for the cooking time, while pot roasts, for example, usually have just enough liquid to cover the meat by one third to two thirds. Some individual cuts of meat, like pork chops, can be cooked with a lid with no added liquid. Just the trapped moisture in the meat itself may be enough for braising. At the end of the cooking time, the residual cooking liquids can be easily transformed into accompanying sauces by reducing, thickening, or a combination of both. Before deciding how to finish your sauce, it will start with tasting. How are the flavours? How intense is it? If you decide that the flavours and intensity are sufficient, then a simple thickening will do: enter in a dissolved cornstarch slurry and bring to a full boil. If you find that the flavours and intensity are not sufficient, then boil the liquid as is, until it reduces through evaporation of water content. Taste along the way and decide when the sauce is ideal. This may also involve adjusting and balancing the flavours along the way. Once the desired taste is achieved, examine the sauce to see if thickening is even required, as it may have thickened enough on its own during this reduction time. Learning many cooking techniques are great to assist you in the kitchen by increasing your skillset, but nothing can replace the hands-on experience of practice. Cook, be happy, know that you will make mistakes along the way, and enjoy life. Life is too short to get stressed out by a serving of food that is not perfect.

Have recent increases in the price of meat leave you with the thought of becoming a vegetarian? With no disrespect to my vegetable eating friends, there is a great technique to bring extreme flavour and tenderness to cheaper cuts of meat. It’s called “braising”. Braising is typically the process of first searing meat and then cooking it in a small amount of liquid at low temperatures for a long period of time. This low & slow method, along with the added moisture, is the ideal environment for breaking down connective tissue and thus making the meat more tender. The residual liquid is almost always transformed into a serving sauce with the prepared meat. Braising is used for both large cuts of meats and also for smaller individual cuts, with the main difference being the length of cooking time. Stews are another great example of braising. Before the first step of searing, seasoning should be done. By seasoning before searing, the crust that is being created becomes more flavourful as the seasoning becomes part of the crust. This seasoning does not have to be complex. It’s as simple as a dusting of salt and pepper, or as intricate as you want it to be. This flavourful browning of the meat will bring out incredible tastes in your finished dish. The searing should be done at a high temperature in order to create brownness on the meat. If the temperature is too low, or if a pan is too crowded, then the initial escaping moisture from the meat will not evaporate, and thus the meat will just boil in its own juices instead of browning. The cooking liquid chosen should be selected to compliment the meat/ dish. The amount of liquid
ing, soak the bulbs for a few minutes in a 10% bleach solution to kill any critters hiding in the scales. Historically, Easter lilies have been one of the sources of lily beetles in western Canada. While fine in the home, do not plant them in the garden. Besides, the beetles are much more likely to overwinter than the Easter lilies. If you sight the lily beetle, its eggs or larvae, please report your sighting to www. biodiversity.sk.ca/invasives. htm. The Canadian Prairie Lily Society is an excellent source of information as well as lily bulbs. Their 50th Annual Lily Show will be held on July 22, 23 and the Fall Bulb Sale on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 – both events at Lawson Heights Mall in Saskatoon.
