Grey Cup tour makes a stop in Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The ultimate goal of every CFL player is to get their name on the Grey Cup, and the cup itself was at the Yorkton, accompanied by Scott Schultz and Matt Dominguez, former players for the Saskatchewan Roughriders who were part of the team that brought the cup to Saskatchewan. Dominguez believes that the tour is important because it gets the cup out to people, instead of keeping it locked away. They want to get it out to get to fans and reach people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to see it. “There are fans everywhere, and they show appreciation. They drive in six, seven hours to games, and I believe that we should do a little more to get out and see them.” The players were just as excited to see the cup as the fans themselves,
right down to searching for their own names on the cup. Dominguez says that the chance to be near the cup itself is rare for players as well as the fans. “We don’t see it very often! You try so long to achieve something, then you achieve it, and then the fruits of it, you don’t see very often... We all get 24 hours with it, my 24 hours was relatively tame by standards, but it’s back here and I like to get another picture with it.” Dominguez was also happy to get back to Yorkton itself, and while he has been in town coaching football and for speaking engagements, he’s glad to be back again with the Grey Cup itself. “I like Yorkton, it’s a great town, so when they ask about come out with the Grey Cup and Schultz to a great city, it’s been awesome.” The Yorkton Co-op also ran a BBQ to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan in conjunction with the Grey Cup tour.

Over 1,100 books distributed to local kids By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Getting books in the hands of kids. That’s the goal of the First Book Canada program, to get as many young kids reading as possible, to help promote literacy and get kids reading in the city. The Sasktel Pioneers have partnered with First Book Canada and have been active in getting books to the kids of Yorkton and area, distributing over 1,100 books so far, with over 1,000 ready to go to more kids the region. The group has been focused on the city’s different daycares, explains Jean Bryski, Vice President of the Pioneers. They want to distribute books to as many different kids as possible locally, but she explains that it’s a province wide program that aims to get books in the hands of
every kid they can find. They have visited 12 daycares in Yorkton so far, and now they want to get out to the neighboring communities as well. “It’s a province-wide project, it’s not just Yorkton… The whole idea is that kids have access to books, because if you can’t read there’s not much you can do in school.” Each place they go, the Pioneers bring a variety of books for kids to choose from along with extras for kids that arrive on a drop-in basis. Bryski says that when they bring books it’s an exciting day, and not just for the kids, who get to choose which book to bring home, but for staff and parents as well. “These books belong to them. It’s not a book that they have to share or they can’t take home. This book belongs to them, they can take it
home.” The hope is that they can get kids reading before they begin school, and Bryski says that they hope they can get books in the hands of kids who might not otherwise be able to have books of their own. “There are families where their focus is on feeding them, and clothing their children, they think when they go to school they will be able to access books there. But, at the same time, let’s get them when they’re younger.” While the local daycares have been the focus for the program, they are not the only place where books have been distributed. Books have been given to Victims Services to help kids when they have to be involved in a court case. “There are children who are part of a very scary incident in their
life sometimes. A book that they can sit in a corner and they can read that is theirs… That way there is a book there to occupy the kids’ time and take their mind off of something that is proba-
bly very unpleasant.” They have also been given to the local SaskTel Store, to help occupy and entertain kids while their parents are doing business. Bryski says that they want to get these
books into the hands of children wherever they can. “Sometimes I think I would like to go into the mall and when I see a little kid go ‘here, would you like a book?’”

Protest in Yorkton aims to rescue mother By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
In 1999, the government of China made the practice of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice combining meditation and qigong exercises, illegal in the country. The result was wide-scale arrests of practitioners of the practice, one that continues to this day. One of those arrested was Huixia Chen, whose daughter Hongyan Lu is fighting to get her released from custody, and was in Yorkton as part of a trip to Ottawa to put pressure on China to release her mother. Lu says nine practitioners of Falun Gong were arrested along with her mother, though seven have been released. She claims that witnesses saw her mother being tortured in a metal chair and not allowed to move for 20 days. “We are also worried that she is going to become a victim of forced live organ harvesting.”
In her speech at the event, Lu said she had not seen her mother in 11 years because she fears for her own life if she is to return to China, as she is also a Falun Gong practitioner. This is also the second time her mother has been arrested, Lu says, the first time she secured a release through her father bribing police, though continued harassment later lead to a divorce. Jay Brauneisen, Lu’s husband, says that they refer to the arrests in this case as abductions because they do not believe the practitioners of Falun Gong are committing any form of crime. “People ask me why Falun Gong is such a threat, why does this continue. Falun Gong is not a threat to the [Communist Party of China], but its ideology cannot be controlled by the party, therefore from the regime’s perspective it should be wiped out,” Lu said. Lu’s goal is to get pressure on China to get her
mother released. She says that this has happened before, as international pressure and scrutiny can sometimes lead to releases of prisoners. “I hope with enough awareness we can keep my mother alive. I hope we can get her released as soon as possible. I don’t know how much torture she can live through, and that’s what we’re really worried about.” The Yorkton stop was part of a journey to Ottawa, where Lu and Brauneisen hope to meet with MPs to discuss her mother’s case. They believe that with pressure from Canadians on the Chinese government, they will be able to avoid further harm coming to her mother. She says that Canadian pressure is important in this case because there is nobody in China itself who can push for Chen’s release. Beyond her mother, they hope that external pressure can also lead to the end of persecuting those who practice Falun Gong.

RME moves into more spacious location By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
If there is one defining feature of the new Rocky Mountain Equipment dealership, located south of the city on Highway 9, it’s space. The new dealership is bigger on the inside, has more space on the outside and has more space to maneuver with equipment. The new dealership is a total of 51,000 sq ft., counting the second floor. The main floor is 40,000 sq ft., with 21 service bays for equipment. The building also has showroom space to bring equipment inside for cus-
tomers to examine closeup. The dealership is on 21 acres of land. Jim Wood, Vice President of Rocky Mountain Equipment, says that the investment into the new facility is a commitment to the city. They outgrew the old facility, and the new one is a way to keep up with the community needs. “We’re proud to be part of the Yorkton community, and hope that the new facility is there to service the bigger equipment and grow our business here in Yorkton.” One of the priorities was to have a dealership that it is possible to

expand in the future, which was a problem with the former RME location within the city of Yorkton, explains Travis Leduc, Facilities Manager for RME. They wanted to avoid being land-locked and have a facility that can handle modern, larger equipment. “At this point we really don’t need 21 acres of land for inventory, but who knows what 15-20 years looks like down the road? That’s an issue we have with a lot of our facilities... They were built 30 years ago, and now they are land locked.”
“We kind of went to from not enough space to too much space right now, but the ag business grows and our business grows, we always find that it’s better to start off with more than less, you don’t want to build too small and add on and renovate in two or three years,” adds Wood. Another priority was making the service department more efficient. Leduc notes that the service bays are better laid out, plus there is now additional equipment to make service easier, such as two 2-ton overhead cranes. “That’s one of the big things for us with the service department, to make it more efficient and get customers back to their equipment as soon as possible.” The building is built out of pre-cast concrete, a decision made to maximize the life of the building explains Leduc. “It’s a lot more durable and will maintain its look, while sheet metal will get banged up with our heavy equipment... We have a building that was built almost 20 years ago made out of pre-cast concrete, and you drive up today and it looks in very good shape.”
Leduc is also especially proud of the amount of natural light that the new building allows in, whether in the front office and showroom or the service department in the back. “Natural light just makes you feel better when working.” The grand opening also raised money for the Health Foundation. Wood
says that while the company is headquartered in Calgary, they want to have individual dealers as part of the communities they are in. “They’re supporting farmers getting their crops off and crops in, and they need to be part of the community because they all live here. We want them volunteering and participating.”

City ahead of economy If you build it, they will come. Or will they? And who is they? It is really nice to see development in Yorkton continuing apace, despite the downturn in the economy. The old Sears building on Broadway Street is pretty much ready for occupancy. Renovation of the old casino/Co-op on Third Avenue is in full gear. A new gas station/convenience store is going in at the Parkland Mall. According to Save on Foods, they are still on board to open a store in Yorkton next year. The City is also engaged in its largest construction year on record with major street and underground infrastructure replacement on Dracup and Mayhew Avenues. And, let us not forget, the City has the entire Roundhouse Subdivision (adjacent to Hwy 9 behind Yorkton Tourism) available for development plus pieces of the Yellowhead Subdivision (near Walmart) and a few lots left in the Gladstone Industrial Park (Ball Road). In all, the City has some 23 acres of fullyserviced commercial land and 10 acres of fully-serviced industrial land for sale or lease on top of the private real estate, which, in addition to the aforementioned renovations also includes some prime downtown locations such as the former ANAVETS club house. All of this is in stark contrast with provincial economic prospects. We saw in June how drastically the downturn in oil and potash has impacted the Saskatchewan government with a budget that required about a billion dollars of new debt just to keep the cuts from resembling Greek-style austerity. Other negative signs include the most recent round of layoffs by Potash Corp, which seemingly came out of the blue. While experts, such as RBC as just one example, are optimistically forecasting short-term growth, it is modest and based on a rebound in oil and potash prices, which are by no means guaranteed. “We have revised downward our GDP growth forecast significantly in Saskatchewan this year from the 1.2 per cent increase projected in the March issue of Provincial Outlook,” RBC’s most recent report (June) stated. In short, they are now projecting a 0.2 per cent decline in GDP for 2016 and 1.8 per cent increase in 2017, which hovers around the same level with inflation, so growth that is more likely, in fact, akin to stagnation. That being said, Yorkton still has a lot going for it. We have a slightly more diversified economy than some of the other small oil boom cities with a strong agribusiness base, food being one of the only growth industries left in rural Saskatchewan. We are also still the heart of a regional trading area that does nearly $600 million worth of retail business annually serving a population of 150,000 in a 150-kilometre radius, according the City. The regional hub thing also increasingly applies to health care and education as those kinds of services become more and more centralized with urbanization and an aging population. It is encouraging to see developers continuing to have confidence in Yorkton, particularly in these uncertain times. Perhaps, that confidence itself will feed continued growth. Of course, we could also end up with a lot of brand-new, really beautiful, prime, but empty, commercial space. It is more than a bit concerning that two years after the Roundhouse Subdivision was ready for development, there has yet to be a shovel in the ground or even any good prospects. Nevertheless, perhaps there is something to be said for investing when times are good. At least when the next boom comes, it looks like we will be ready for it.
Putting kids in charge of kids I have a fantastic idea for the future of education. It’s relatively simple, at one point each year, every student in the higher classes in an elementary school – grades 7 and 8 in Yorkton’s elementary system, but I’d argue grades 5 and 6 are also suited for this idea – has to “teach” a class in one of the entry grades, like kindergarten or grade 1. It wouldn’t be an important class, just get the kids in the group to complete some form of task, maybe a craft or an art project. They would be supervised by a teacher just in case it got out of hand, but they would be mostly left to their own devices, having to corral a room full of rambunctious kids and get them to successfully achieve a task. The idea came largely as a way to get kids this age to get a feel for authority. Kids this age are starting to get more responsibilities but they’re also not exactly used to being in charge of something. It’s the age where some are eligible to start babysitting and are better suited to being left alone at home, but it’s also the first time this is actually happening for a lot of kids. While parents often teach their kids about responsibility, it’s something that is better learned by experiencing it, and giving kids a class to take care of is a great way to just throw them into the fire and see what they do. Some kids will thrive, some kids won’t, and both options are an acceptable result. The lesson isn’t in whether or not they succeed, but what they learn in the attempt. The main reason I think it’s a good idea to give kids an idea of what it’s like to be in charge is to give them some idea of what the people in charge of them have to go through on a regular basis. Short version, kids can be annoying, and for the most part they don’t realize why they are annoying. Which isn’t really a knock on the kids themselves, lots of them are great kids, and most of them just need someone to help them realize that what they’re doing might be unacceptable behavior. That’s naturally what parenting is overall, but it would likely be an easier job if the kids themselves had some kind of awareness of what a parent or teacher actually goes through. Making them do the job itself is going to be a great way to give them that perspective. There are naturally already programs to get younger kids and older ones together and learning from each other. I’m not proposing anything new or different, just something that would be mandatory for all students. Most of these programs are going to be voluntary, and a lot of kids are going to avoid them if they can. It’s the same as not every kid being a babysitter, or not every kid having younger siblings who they have to help with, some don’t want the opportunity to be in charge.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger This way, you make them take command, not for very long but long enough that they have the experience. Then after, the kids that like it can sign up for different extra-curricular activities or to take some babysitting courses to take care of the younger kids. At a minimum, you might get some kids who are a bit less difficult to deal with as they might realize what being difficult does to people who are actually in charge. I realize that I’m not a parent or a teacher, but I have had to deal with kids who are a bit rambunctious, far from inclined to listen to you or maybe just not really interested in what I have to say since I’m not their actual parent or teacher. And most of the time I can’t help but think I wish they had to take care of a kid just like them, so they realize what they’re like. I’ve also known some of those kids to get a bit more sensible after they have had to take care of friends’ kids or their parents had another child. So why not force all kids to take a little responsibility over a few others? What do the younger students get out of this? They get a class with a different teacher, and they probably get some sort of craft to take home to their parents. In truth, it’s not that exciting for that class. But it’s a good way to bring the school together and get the two ends of the age spectrum to know each other. Elementary school is probably the age where the biggest changes happen from when you start and when you leave, but something like this could bring both ends of that age spectrum together. I’m sure that there are plenty of local schools who do things like this already, I know that I’ve visited several who have programs where older students read to younger ones, or get older students to help with events and extracurricular activities. It might be the case that I’m proposing something which already exists, and if that’s the case I’m happy that is the case. I think it’s a good thing if older students in elementary school know what their teachers, parents and guardians have to live with every day, by putting them in charge of some of their younger schoolmates. I just can see that some kids really need to learn a bit more about what being in charge is all about.

The watcher of the bear I happened to be out the other evening, and paused with the hope of catching an Aquarid or two streaking crossing the sky. The ‘peak’ of the Delta Aquarid meteor shower began last Wednesday, and will end this Saturday with the shower tapering off through the first week or so of August. It was about a half hour after sunset, a little early for meteors as the stars were not yet visible, but planets Saturn and Mars in the south were, as was Jupiter, low in the west. Well, one star was out:
half way up in south west I spotted Arcturus, the brightest star in the northern sky, and fourth overall. Arcturus is an orange star estimated to be about the size of our own sun. It shows up early in the evening for a couple of reasons. First, it’s less than 37 light years away, virtually in our back yard, but that’s not the main reason. At 6-8 billion years of age, Arcturus has become a senior, and is burning up the last of the hydrogen fuel in its core at an enormous rate. The result is
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. that it outputs 110 times as much light as the Sun, and 180 times as much energy. From our viewpoint, it’s a nice bright star; in reality, Arcturus is a nuclear furnace turned up to maximum. It’s also bright enough to be seen in the day

time, if you know where to look, so it’s not surprising it appeared in Babylonian star catalogues as early as 1100BC. Its prominence and placement in the summer sky also made it a major guide star for Polynesian sailors, and a major component in

the development of starbased navigation. Although Arcturus’s brightness makes it stand out at night, there are other contenders around, so as the skies darken and more stars come out, you can always find it by following the curve of the Big Dipper’s handle to the left. This location probably also led to its name: the Greek word ‘Arktouros’ translates as ‘Bear Guard’ or ‘Watcher of the Bear’, which would be its neighbour The Big Dipper, officially Ursa Major, or “The Great(er) Bear”, in Latin.
Arcturus is closely tied with our early history and helped open up the world to exploration, as did several other stars and star patterns. In present times, we view stars for pleasure, but to a sailor in a double-hulled canoe in the middle of the Pacific some 3000 years ago, this was the closest thing to GPS he had. Arcturus will remain prominent from your back yard in the southwest and western sky through September. If you have a chance, try and get out and say thanks.

Your letter of the Week Food consumers making their voices heard To the Editor: Social media has given consumers a licence to manipulate the food industry. The result could be transformative. Social licensing frames an organization’s ability to operate with the confidence that its activities are morally and socially legitimate to its stakeholders. And as the result of social media and the licence it grants consumers, food systems are more than ever controlled by a triumvirate of industry, government and consumers. Look no further than how, through social media, consumers acted fiercely recently to protect their rights and values: the response to cauliflower prices rising to $8, the French’s ketchup kerfuffle and the battle over beef sourcing at Earls Kitchen and Bar. In each instance, consumers become the CEOs of food systems when they perceived breaches in the inherent social licence. (Never mind that they may
have acted based on imperfect information.) This revolution can bring more attention to critical, underemphasized issues like failing food supply systems in northern communities, climate change mitigation and innovation in food. But it is less clear what foodrelated values are important in the court of public opinion. Food, consumed every day, is profoundly influenced by socio-economic factors. To identify specific common values is close to impossible. For example, while some believe animal welfare and organically-grown food are essential to our food systems, others simply do not. In addition, access to real-time data makes the marketplace agile to the point of being fickle. Shared values can change almost daily. Missing in the discussion is the notion that holding social licence means consumers can’t just dictate food industry trends; they also need to be accountable for their perspec-
tives and behaviour. That means being fully informed and fair. Also missing is the notion that some consumers are denied social licence by economic factors, particularly as prices move up. One group has the resources to recognize market failures and point out the industry’s breaches in social licensing. However, the have-not group is less able to express itself and is often forgotten. For them, food is a matter of necessity and the quest for a social licence by industry is inconsequential. Food origins, farm and processing practices are trivial matters - they simply need to be fed. That leads many Canadian consumers to feel completely disfranchised. They can’t fathom co-owning anything, let alone food systems. Making Canada food secure is and should be imbedded in the process of social licensing for the industry. That means making food affordable and ensuring nutritional value is a priority. For the time being, however, the
food industry’s social licence revolution is uncharacteristically and unfortunately exclusive. But it presents an opportunity for stakeholders to make the industry more democratic, more accessible and relevant to the broader public. Obviously, food consumers and the industry can make a difference by using their social licence relationship responsibly. But they must keep in mind that you can’t buy a social licence, you should have to acquire it the old fashioned way: by earning it.

Roughriders handed gift and they took it
Let the bells ring and the good times roll. The S a s k a t c h e w a n Roughriders have won their first game of the 2016 season. All right, maybe we do need to take a breath in terms of the significance of the win, but it’s hard not to think it is at least the first tentative step to mediocrity at the very least. The win did come over a third string quarterback for Ottawa. Rarely is any team expected to win with a second string QB, at least win often, but third stringers are the point when teams realize wins are almost impossible to come by. When Trevor Harris, second to Henry Burris when the season started, went down for the Redblacks, it really was a case of opening the door about as wide as possible for a Roughrider win. To the ‘Riders credit
they got it done with a late-game field goal, but it was not a real pretty victory. Brock Jensen gave the Saskatchewan defence about all it could handle. The third stringer in his first action went 20-for29, that’s a 69 per cent success rate, and 271yards. That Jensen was able to roll up such numbers speaks to how much work the ‘Rider defence still has to do. More positive in the win was the effort of ‘Rider starting pivot Mitchell Gale. Gale’s completion rate was under 60 per cent going 21-for-36, but he did roll up 354-yards through the air. Anytime a QB gets in that 350yard range, your team has a shot to win. Of course the ‘Rider quarterback better be passing the ball well. The team tried only nine
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels rushes in the game, five by Mitchell, who led the team in rushing yards with 17. Certainly the CFL is a passing league, and so far this season that is even more the case, but a bit more balance would help take some pressure of Gale who is still learning the game in terms of ingame reps. The most positive aspect for Gale though is his ability to remain calm. He played through bad snaps, and his own fumbles, and showed a poise not to throw up desperation passed that all too often turn into interceptions.
The win was one which may have been handed to the ‘Riders on a platter given Ottawa’s quarterback situation, but at least Saskatchewan took the opportunity when it was presented. MLB trade deadline The 2016 non-waiver trade deadline is Aug. 1, only days away, and the question is will the Toronto Blue Jays make a move or two to help bolster their run at a second straight playoff year? Well if fans are expecting a David Price-level move like 2015, a move which truly solidified the team in terms of being a playoff contender, I sus-
pect those fans will be rather disappointed come Aug. 2. The Jays farm system is thinner now, so the prospects needed to manufacture a really big deal are likely missing. After all it took the Cubs giving up three prospects; Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Adam Warren, to acquire New York Yankee reliever Aroldis Chapman. Chapman is a free agent at season’s end, so was expendable even with his 20 saves. The Cubs are not exactly lacking in the bullpen, but recent playoffs have shown it is relief arms that are increasingly the key to winning in the post season and Chapman adds another big arm, one that has to have the Cubs favoured to win it all. That was what Drew Storen was supposed to do for Toronto when he arrived in an off season
trade for outfielder Ben Revere. The trade however has been a disaster with Storen never adjusting to a setup role, and now designated for assignment. So the Jays could use some bullpen help by the trade deadline, and another starter could add some depth, but that arm would be back of the rotation quality, not a Pricelike acquisition. A move certainly is needed as the Jays are at best right now in a fight for the second wild card spot, just fractions ahead of a charging Houston Astros team. An arm, or two, could be the difference, for a team whose time is now, as next year this will be a very different look team, with likely three of the bigger bats on the roster lost to free agency; José Bautista, Edwin Encarnación and Michael Saunders.
Be proud of your tastes and level of food knowledge Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com There are people who feel that their food preferences or knowledge may not reflect what is correct or up-to-date in the culinary world. This is completely understandable as there is always an endless supply of information and techniques. This does not commensurate however that one should be ashamed, or be denied of the right, to express their passion for this necessity in our lives. One of the many things that I love about food and food preparation is that I never stop learning. One can never know everything in this industry and I consider it to be one of “the arts” like music or painting. Never can every musical note and lyric, colour and design, or food flavour combination be “used up”. It is literally impossible. No matter how much or little you know, chances are you have preferences in your appreciation of this medium that is both an essential and an indulgent part of our lives. This individuality not only guides you to determine likes or dislikes, but defines you as who you are. Carving a baron of beef in a buffet line-up at a Hotel many years ago, I was approached by and elderly woman with an empty plate. As always, I asked the level of doneness preferred. Looking nervous, she whispered, “I know it’s not the right way, but I prefer an extra well-done piece”. So I asked her “what do you enjoy?” and she repeated “extra welldone” with a sense of bewilderment. “If that’s what you enjoy,” I stated to her “how is that the
wrong way?” Many people lose site of this and in the meantime get blackballed, bullied even, by a definition governed by the Culinary World. The “textbook” doneness for red meat is medium-rare for optimal flavour, juiciness, and tenderness. This is merely guideline however, and not meant to overrule one’s preferences. If you don’t enjoy red meat medium-rare, then it is not the right way for you. Don’t get me wrong: I love a good rare steak, but I also know it is not the doneness of choice by everyone. I am certain that my opinion stated in this column will not be agreed upon by everyone, but I also know that it will be highly regarded by many who have been criticized in the past for their preferences. As long as one continues to seize opportunities to try new foods and preparation techniques, and keep testing their boundaries, then there should be nothing wrong with their final individual evaluation. The culinary world is full of guidelines, but the sooner people realize that these “guidelines” are not necessarily “laws”, the better off everyone will be. Dear Chef Dez: Recently I went to a restaurant and ordered a well-done steak. The server advised me that the Chef in the kitchen refused to cook my steak of choice to that degree of doneness. What is your opinion on this? Peter Langley, BC
Dear Peter: Depending on the cut of steak, most restaurants will fulfill your request. Some however feel that for a top grade cut of beef, cooking it well-done is a waste. It just dries out the optimal flavour and tenderness that a choice cut is expected to offer the con-
sumer. I think the situation should have been handled differently. You should have been advised that the kitchen doesn’t recommend “well-done” for the selection of steak you made, and offer you a different cut. If at this point you still insisted on your original choice, then your request should have
been honoured. I feel as professionals it is our obligation to educate people on the culinary guidelines that we are trained in and to make appropriate suggestions. If, however, the consumer still chooses otherwise, their wish should be respected and their individuality recognized.

CCA applauds fully restored beef access to Mexico
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto met in Ottawa with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and announced that Mexico will fully re-open to Canadian beef effective October 1, 2016. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) President Dan Darling, in Ottawa for President Peña’s announcement, said the October 1 effective date is particularly important in terms of timing as it provides producers with an expanded export opportunity for over30-month (OTM) beef. “The months of October and November are traditionally the time of year when Canadian beef farmers send most of their mature breeding cows to market,” Darling said. “Mexico has traditionally been an excellent market for Canadian beef. In addition to expanded access for OTM beef, we look forward to potential
future opportunities that today’s announcement of fully restored access for Canada for all beef and beef products, regardless of the age of the cattle, will bring.” Mexico closed to Canadian beef in May 2003 when Canada discovered its first domestic case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Mexico re-opened to beef from cattle under-30-months (UTM) of age later that year, but remained closed to beef from OTM cattle and some UTM offal. Normalized access with Mexico marks the removal of one of the few remaining BSE trade restrictions in the world and that will help instill confidence in Canadian beef producers to grow their herds, Darling said. “When our production increases to previous levels, I believe that Mexico could again import more than $250 million per year like it
used to.” Prior to BSE, Canada was exporting between $270 million to $290 million of beef per year to Mexico, of which approximately 20 to 25 per cent was OTM. Mexico has been Canada’s third largest export market the past three years. From 2011 to 2015, Canada averaged $136 million in annual beef exports to Mexico. Today’s announcement is the final step in normalizing the CanadaMexico beef trade as Canada had approved Mexico to export beef to Canada two years ago, Darling noted. “I want to thank Agriculture and AgriFood Minister Lawrence MacAulay, International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland and Prime Minister Trudeau for their work to achieve today’s significant result for the Canadian beef sector,” he said.
SaskCanola awards $72,000 in scholarships
SaskCanola is pleased to announce that we have awarded the prestigious Dr. Rimmer Award for Excellence in Graduate Research to four graduate student researchers for the 2016/17 year. The scholarship program offers $18,000 per year for a maximum of two years to students entering or continuing studies in a M.Sc. or Ph.D. program at the University of Saskatchewan whose thesis projects deal with an important aspect of either the development or utilization of canola. Four deserving recipients were chosen based on their academic achievement and thesis projects’ suitability to SaskCanola: • Adriane Good studying Establishing canola meal as a protein supplement for feedlot
cattle • Asmita Poudel studying The development of nano emulsions of phytosterols and vitamin E extracted from canola waste stream • Chuyuan Zhang studying The effect of feeding yeast-fermented canola meal on the nutrient digestibility and growth performance of rainbow trout and Nile tilapia • Miles Buchwaldt studying The transcriptome analysis to identify genes for tolerance of abiotic stress in B. napus “Research is vital to the growth of the agriculture industry. It is imperative that we continue to invest in innovative research to generate even more value for canola,” stated Janice Tranberg, SaskCanola Executive
Director. “We are proud to support these advanced graduate students in their endeavours and look forward to the benefits that this research will create for farmers in the future.” “These scholarships strengthen the future of our industry by supporting youth who have a passion for agriculture and want to pursue an education and career in this fulfilling industry,” explains Terry Youzwa, SaskCanola Board Chair. SaskCanola is a producer led organization, established in 1991 and supported by some 26,000 levy-paying Saskatchewan canola producers. SaskCanola’s mandate is to grow producer prosperity through advocacy, research, and market development

Canadians invited to celebrate Canada’s Agriculture Day Canadian agriculture representatives today announced February 15, 2017 will be Canada’s Agriculture Day – Canadian agriculture representatives today announced February 16, 2017 will be Canada’s Agriculture Day – a time to celebrate and draw a closer connection between Canadians, our food and the people who produce it. “We all eat food
yet many people don’t automatically make the connection between what’s on their plate and the commitment and care that goes into raising livestock, growing crops or processing food,” said Crystal Mackay, CEO of Farm and Food Care Canada, a national charity committed to building public trust and confidence in food and farming in Canada. In the 1930s, more
than 90 per cent of Canadians had a connection to agriculture. Today, it’s less than three per cent, according to Statistics Canada census information. “Every link in the food production chain – from the farm to the grocery store and restaurant – plays a vital role in bringing food to your table every day,” said Mackay, whose group organized the summit.
“Canada’s Agriculture Day is an opportunity to get involved, celebrate and be a part of the conversation about food and farming.” Candace Hill, manager of Agriculture More Than Ever, said Canada’s Agriculture Day complements the industry-led initiative that has attracted over 470 partner organizations and 2,100 individuals committed to creating positive perceptions of agri-
culture. Launched more than four years ago, Agriculture More Than Ever’s goal is to encourage those involved in agriculture to speak up and speak positively about the industry. “It’s all about showing our love, pride and passion for an industry that puts food on our tables,” Hill said. “We want to give everyone the opportunity to be part of something big and important.”
Hill encourages the industry, organizations and individuals to mark the date on calendars and come up with their own ideas and activities to promote and celebrate Canadian agriculture.

4-H Farm Safety a huge success at Ag in Motion
4-H members from across the province came together to learn about farm safety this week. 4-H Saskatchewan hosted a 4-H Farm Safety Day at Ag in Motion on July 21. The free program was open to all youth and saw close to 50 people come out to learn valuable safety tips. The organization decided to put on the event because of their roots in agriculture. “We have about 3,000 4-H members in Saskatchewan and the majority of them either live on farms or work and play on farms,” Program and Communications Specialist Jodi Schellenberg said. “We thought it was important to bring our members together to teach them about farm safety.” The day started with Spencer Beach, a professional speaker who was badly burned in a workplace fire in Edmonton 13 years ago and was told he had a five per cent chance to live. Beach shared his experience with those gathered to help teach them the importance of proper safety methods and wearing proper protective
gear. “I wasn’t trained in safety at all, so I had no idea what I was doing with that chemical, although I was an expert in flooring,” Beach said. “When the chemical ignited, it really was the fumes that ignited, which put me in the middle of a fire and I was surrounded by it.” “It all happened because I had a feeling what I was doing wasn’t right, but I didn’t act on that feeling,” he added. “If I would have acted on that feeling, I could have done the job in a different manner and never would have been hurt at all.” The second speaker, Curtis Weber, who was in a farm accident where a crane was moving a grain hopper and hit a power line when he was 17, echoed Beach’s sentiments about voicing concerns. “Young people, it is very hard for us to speak up or ask questions or voice our concerns. I was very afraid to do that,” Weber said. “Instead of speaking up and saying there is an easier way to do this, I kept my mouth shut.” - Submitted Submitted Photos

Pulse Industry introduces new seal to help consumers identify Pulse products The Global Pulse Confederation today introduced the Pulse Brand and ‘Made with Pulses’ seal at the IFT Annual Meeting & Food Expo. The Pulse Brand and ‘Made with Pulses’ seal are distinctive green and gold symbols intended to help consumers easily identify food products that contain pulse ingredients (dry peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas). The seal and Pulse Brand are available to food manufacturers, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and the foodservice industry to use on packages and in promotions. Consumer interest in pulses is growing in part because the United Nations has designated 2016 as the International Year of Pulses, and food companies and consumers are looking for
affordable food options that are healthy, nutritious, and environmentally sustainable. Pulses are high in protein
and add nutritional value when incorporated into product formulations across many food categories. Pulse ingredients are
nutrient-dense and deliver high levels of fiber. Pulses require less nitrogen fertilizer than other crops, giving them a low carbon footprint. Pulses are a water-efficient protein and enrich the soil where they grow, making them an important and sustainable crop. Several global companies are already showing strong interest in the new ‘Made with Pulses’ seal and credit the halo of health, value and quality of pulses for their early adoption. Companies that have already signed on to use the Pulse Brand include Princes Food and Drink Group (Napolina and Batchelors brands), JM Grain, AGT Food and Ingredients and Floating Leaf Fine Foods.

Lands Act, 2016 Introduced Recently, Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart introduced amendments to The Provincial Lands Act (PLA). The Provincial Lands Act is jointly administered by the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment. The revised Act will create a more attractive business climate and financial certainty for investors by incorporating their needs into legislation. It will also provide management tools for government to better deal with misuse of the land. Before the proposed updates, the PLA had not been updated since 1978, with clauses and language dating back to the 1930s. “Saskatchewan is working to ensure Crown land is protected and productive for generations to come,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “Once in effect, the revised PLA will make this legislation more responsive to the needs of those using Crown land and improve the service we offer our clients by reducing the administrative burden.” These proposed updates are reflective of
what was heard in consultations with stakeholders. An in-depth consultation process started in 2013, and included an updated call in the spring of 2016 for feedback from lessees, stakeholders and First Nations and Métis communities. The revised legislation will: •Create a more attractive business climate by increasing the time period of leases on the land to encourage significant long-term investments; •Allow vacant Crown land to be divided into smaller sections, allowing a more diverse range of activities to occur; and •Provide the government with the ability to respond and take action when land is being misused, such as issuing immediate stop work orders. “Updating this Act is in line with efforts across government to modernize our current legislative framework,” Environment Minister Herb Cox said. “The revised legislation is progressive and balances responsible development with environmental needs.”
THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 28, 2016 - Page 13A PARKLAND COLLEGE AND ECRF PARTNERSHIP – Parkland College and East Central Research Foundation (ECRF) welcomed more than 50 farmers, agriculture professionals, and industry representatives to their fourth annual research farm field day Thursday near Yorkton. The event highlights the agriculture applied research partnership between the College and ECRF, which officially began in 2013. This summer there are dozens of projects underway at the joint research farm 1 km south of Yorkton on York Lake Road. There’s also a secondary site 1 km south of Yorkton on Highway 9. Researchers are conducting a variety of trials on wheat, oats, canary seed, soybeans, fava beans, lentils, flax, and quinoa. Parkland College and ECRF have a long-term plan to carry out agriculture research activities in the Yorkton area. The partnership enabled Parkland College to become the first regional college in Saskatchewan to undertake an applied research program to serve regional economic development. The College also uses the field research site to provide hands-on training to students enrolled in agriculture programs. The data collected on site throughout the growing season will be shared with the research community, agricultural industry, and local producers.

Keep an Eye on the Customer While on the Combine Cam Dahl, President of Cereals Canada Warren Buffet, once quipped “it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” This is something worth thinking about as we start to prepare for harvest. Canada has a strong reputation for consistently delivering safe, high quality grain to our customers both here at home as well as off shore. The Canadian grain industry, including farmers, depends on this reputation to gain access to international markets. Every part of the value chain must do all that it can to preserve this hard won reputation. Individual farmers play a critical role in preserving the “Canada brand,” especially at harvest. Some things that impact quality, like the weather, are outside of a farmer’s control. But many key grain safety factors are 100 per cent with-
in a producer’s control. We can’t forget this as we rush to get the crop into the bin before rain and frost. We need to keep an eye on our customers while we are on the combine. There are two critical grain safety areas that farmers need to pay attention to this time of year, both related to the preharvest application of pesticides. The top ten rules for pesticide application are all the same: “follow the label!” It is critically important for farmers and their staff to know and understand what is on the label for every product they apply. There are no conditions where it is acceptable to not follow the label. Shipments will be rejected if samples of vessel shipments contain residues that are above maximum limits. Fortunately this is a rare occurrence, but it’s an entirely preventable problem and it should simply never happen. There are two important elements of the label
that require special attention this time of year – applying too early and applying too late. Some products, like glyphosate, should not be applied while the crop is too green. The label for glyphosate indicates that application should not occur if the seeds are 30 per cent moisture or higher. And yes, this does include the low spots that are greener than the rest of the field. Application when seed moisture is above 30 per cent will result in absorption by the seed and consequently residues. Glyphosate is of particular interest because it has come under fire from those who do not support the use of pesticides for any reason. This despite the fact glyphosate has been repeatedly shown to be one of the safest agricultural chemicals in use. Farmers rigorous adherence to the science-based label will help blunt the criticism of the activists and keep this important product in our toolbox for years to come.
Ergot Cont. from Page A14 built up and provide the disease causing organism source. Sclerotia germinate in the spring just prior to flowering in cereals and grasses once they have been exposed to a minimal cold period of 4-8 weeks and after they have been exposed to moisture. Germinating sclerotia produce ascospores that are ejected into the air and are disseminated by air currents. If these floating ascospores land on a cereal head that is flowering, the ovary becomes infected and instead of forming a seed head of grain, a sclerotia body will form. A secondary infection occurs during the formation of the sclerotia that creates a substance called honeydew. This honeydew is also a source of disease spread as insects, wind and rain can transfer it to uninfected plants. Over the past few weeks, Mother Nature
has provided us with the rain and cool conditions which have created the environment for ergot infections to occur. These cool, wet conditions have also increased flowering periods in cereals and made them more susceptible to infection. While ergot can cause a 5-10% yield reduction, the main concern should be in regards to the toxic alkaloids that are present in the ergot bodies. The Canadian Grain Commission has established limits for allowable ergot contamination. If using ergot contaminated grain for livestock feed, be aware that animals differ in their toxicity levels. Haying ergot contaminated grasses does not lower the dangers and if in doubt, have your forage sampled. As ergot-infected wild grasses, particularly in fence rows, can be the primary inoculum in cereal and grass seed production fields,
mowing headlands can be a defense mechanism to reducing this disease. Planting cereal varieties with short flowering periods along with choosing resistant varieties can also reduce your ergot susceptibility. Lengthening crop rotations so any ergot bodies that may be present in the soil are robbed of a susceptible host can also prove to be effective.
