Reminding people to call before they dig By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The summer months are a time for summer projects, whether large scale projects or small yard improvements such as fences or driveways. Sask 1st Call was in the city to remind people to call before they dig. Reg Welsh with Sask 1st Call was going around to talk to contractors and equipment rental businesses to reinforce the need to call and get line locates before they do any excavation. “It’s important to have a safe work site and a safe environment for the public. It’s to prevent costly repairs and damage to equipment and the surrounding area, but most of all to prevent injury or maybe even death.” It’s something that is important to do no matter the size of the project, Welsh says, so long as excavation is occurring the line locates are needed. “Any excavation being done in your yard, and the same as contractors on site, wherever it is. They should be calling Sask 1st Call before excavation takes place. It’s also a free service, which means there is little excuse not to call.
Welsh also notes that if someone doesn’t call and runs into lines, they’re liable for the damage which they cause in the
process, so avoiding the free call could get expensive as well as dangerous. The locates will happen within two working
days, and are good for ten days. They point out any lines running underground that are registered with the service,
whether that means crown corporations or companies like Embridge. Putting a call in can be done in several ways,
whether by phone at 1 (866) 828-4888, online at www.sask1stcall.com or by using their app for Android or iOS phones.
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG, that’s the message behind Sask 1st Call, which has been going around the province reminding contractors and homeowners to call before they dig. Reg Walsh with Sask 1st Call says that it’s a free call that needs to be done so people don’t run into lines.
Food is Free movement starts in Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
On a basic level, the Food is Free movement is about giving people food. But Stacey Tress, who is bringing the movement to Yorkton, says it’s about more than that. She says that it’s about building community, and wants other people to get on board and offer up the food they can give to others. The project began in Austin, Texas in 2012, with the goal being to
start offering food to people from the front yard, whether doing it from a front yard garden or from a produce stand that is set up in the yard. “They’re trying to create a community and bring people together when there’s an abundance to share. So they’ve inspired 200 cities worldwide now.” The goal is to set up for little to no cost, the stand is made of salvaged materials and the food itself is from gardens, whether they are

your own or those of your neighbors. The program also encourages a front yard garden, which Tress also has established, and encourages growing organic. The idea is that it gives away food, but Tress says that she believes it’s more about meeting people and inspiring others in some way. “The concept and the idea is that it generates so much more. It’s supposed to be food, but you start making connections within the
community.” Tress has seen examples of this in her own stand, as her neighbors have used her stand to give out some of their produce, and as a result has met more neighbors than she would have otherwise. “Food connects us.” It’s not a new idea Tress says, as sharing abundance with neighbors has always been something people do. Instead, it’s new way of doing an old idea, embracing social media to get the word out and

meet your neighbors. “One of my friends had commented that their dad had been giving away produce for years, and that’s just it, so have we.” The difference with Food is Free is that it uses social media to spread information about what’s going on, who has stands where they are giving away produce as well as putting together information for local gardeners. Tress has also used her Food is Free stand to post information about

compost workshops in the city as well as gardening articles. “Let’s find out who’s doing what and where, and bring everybody together at a central page that people can find.” Tress has been heavily involved in food projects within Yorkton for a number of years, and the Food is Free project is another way of getting involved with the city’s food needs and gardening community.

Creative use of parts keeps old Rover alive By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It’s rare that someone has the chance to see a Rover P3. Just under ten thousand were made total, but very few were made in left hand drive, fewer still survived into the modern era. Bob Bartch of Sturgis, Sk. says he knows of three, and he has one of them, a 1949 model which he brought to the Painted Hand Casino Show and Shine. Bartch first bought the car in 1969 in Vancouver from his uncle. He bought it with a hunting rifle and three hundred dollars, which was all that he had. “I fell in love with it... I left Vancouver with $35 in my pocket, a bag of egg salad sandwiches that my aunt made and two cans of gas in the trunk. I made it to Moose Jaw before I was broke... It took four days to get through the mountains, it would overheat.” He’s had to build it three times, the third coming after the car had left him for 20 years and he found it again as a wreck in Lipton. Bringing it back to life took five years, though Bartch admits that there’s still work he wants to do. “You’re never done... It’s a passion, it’s all I can say.” Finding parts for a rare car is never easy, especially once it has been out of production for over 60 years. Bartch has approached this problem with ingenuity, finding unexpected ways to make the car work. General Motors makes up the majority of the replacement parts, including the
entire drivetrain which includes a 327 V8, but the steering is from a Dodge Dakota, the seat upholstery and taillight lenses are from a Mercury Topaz, and some trim pieces aren’t from cars at all. “The grille was smashed up, so I made a new one out of old TV antennas. They were aluminum so I welded them in.” Bartch did his own bodywork, including widening the fenders so it could accommodate the new running gear. When it comes to making his own parts, he says it’s just necessary since there’s so little original left from Rovers in the era. Many parts can’t be found, so then you have to improvise, even if that means carving your own door trim or making your own turn signal lenses. Parts also disintegrate after a while, making restoration impossible. “I had the clock, but it was wrecked. I took it apart to see if I could just get the face redone, and it just came apart in my hands.” It’s Bartch’s first time at the Yorkton Show and Shine, as he mostly keeps around the Sturgis area. However, he was told
BOB BARTCH has rebuilt this 1949 Rover P3 three times since buying it in 1969. It was one of the cars on display at the Painted Hand Casino Show and Shine, which also included varied models like muscle cars, ‘50s luxury models and recent imports. about the event from someone he met while fishing in northern Manitoba, and says he’s impressed by what he saw in the community, and the range of what people brought out to the event.

Health care partnership Health Minister Dustin Duncan, Saskatchewan Government and General Employees’ Union (SGEU) and three health regions – Kelsey Trail, Mamawetan Churchill River, and Keewatin Yatthé – signed a partnership agreement on January 12, 2015, as part of a shared commitment to patient first care and health system transformation. “Health care workers are key partners in our efforts to improve access to safe, quality care for Saskatchewan people,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “This new partnership recognizes our shared commitment to putting patients first as we work toward transforming our health care system.” “SGEU looks forward to partnering with the health regions and provincial government to provide a better care environment for patients, improved working environment for our members and as a forum to address the unique challenges of our rural and northern areas,” SGEU’s Health Provider Bargaining Unit Chair Bonnie Erickson said. “We are excited about the opportunity to build our relationships with SGEU and look forward to working together in exploring new and innovative ways to improve patient care,” Kelsey Trail Health Region’s Vice President of Health Safety and Culture Lyle Bittman said, on behalf of the health regions. “This partnership will enhance our ability to proactively address questions and challenges with health care delivery in our regions.” Since the partnership was signed on January 12, the parties have worked together to establish a Terms of Reference and will continue working together on common areas of interest, including: •promoting a culture of safety; •increasing employee engagement; •continuously improving the health system in a manner that supports the principles of Better Health, Better Care, Better Value and Better Teams; •discussing options to enhance the ability to provide quality health care; and •stabilizing employee turnover, thereby increasing patients’ continuity of care. SGEU represents approximately 2,000 health care workers who provide a wide range of services in acute care facilities, long-term care homes, home care and community health services.
Connecting within the community The common refrain is that the advent of social media is pulling people apart. You hear it all the time, people spend too much time looking at their phones, or there is more time spent talking to people through text than there is talking to people face to face. Instead of lamenting the advent of technology like old men shaking their fists at the skies, it’s a better choice to look at what social media can do. Take the Food is Free Project; it’s a project that, without social media, would be limited to the town where it was founded. More accurately, it would be limited to the street on which it started. The concept of giving away food is an old concept, a way for neighbors to find excuses to go visit and be social. It couldn’t be considered a movement, though, because it was strictly local, and spreading the message on a large scale was something that wouldn’t happen.
That’s not to say trends didn’t exist in years past, or that ideas couldn’t catch on far beyond their place of origin. The difference is that this is a quick and easy way for small scale, low budget movements to start to gain traction. An idea from Texas is now an idea in Yorkton, and then could spread somewhere else entirely. What has been invented is an online equivalent to the old coffee shops, billboards and church meetings that used to define community living and event coverage. The difference is that it’s a method that transcends the relatively limited reach of those methods. Everything listed above was limited to within the community, so while someone could start a food giveaway and tell their coffee shop friends in the old days, now they can tell the entire community immediately, updating people on progress even if they’re not going to see them at the local haunts.
That is not to say social media is a replacement for regular, face-to-face interaction, because it is not. Ask Stacey Tress herself and she’ll say she wants to see more people meeting in person and building community that way. If anything, social media is a way to introduce people, but then they have to start meeting outside of the online sphere. But it’s still a way of connecting people who might otherwise be unfamiliar with each other. It’s no use to lament the way the modern world has changed, because we have to live in it. Instead, if we want to build connections, community and bring people together, we need to use the modern world to our advantage. Food is Free is a good example of how people can use that technology to foster more organic interaction. You need to visit a Food is Free booth, but you find out about it online, it’s both kinds of interaction.
Sports in Saskatoon will depend on lacrosse Saskatoon has been the rumored home of professional sports teams for years, down to when the St. Louis Blues were anticipated to be setting up in the city in the 1980s – an event I learned about through a commemorative bumper sticker on a used car. Now, finally, the city will be getting pro sports. It’s the National Lacrosse League that will be coming to the city, with the Edmonton Rush making the move down the Yellowhead. Saskatoon is always a theoretically appealing location for sports, if only because it’s a market that is not really served otherwise. There are good college programs in the Huskies, and junior hockey with the Blades, but there’s nothing at a higher level. It’s a hole in the market, a gap that could theoretically be filled by something. The strength of Saskatoon is that it could work as a provincial hub for whatever sport it would host, the market is actually much bigger than the population of the city itself. The big example of this is Regina and the CFL. Ignoring the awful start to the 2015 season, the Roughriders work because they are a provincial team, not a Regina team – it’s no coincidence that the province itself is a prominent part of the team’s name. People make the trip from every corner of this big trapezoid to watch football in
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger Regina, it’s considered a provincial point of pride, which is a pretty great marketing gimmick. It’s also a necessary marketing gimmick, because Regina by itself couldn’t otherwise sustain a team – it needs the entire provincial market to work. Lacrosse, for whatever reason, does not enjoy the same national presence as football, but a Saskatoon team would be banking on the same effect, and the Rush will be called the Saskatchewan Rush for the same reason. It would be the best lacrosse in the province, and the team needs that provincial pride. It likely isn’t going to draw Rider numbers, it’s also not really expected to, but does need to get fans from everywhere into the city. The former Edmonton Rush also set up the
city with an advantage if they are going to be a draw. The team is good, or at least was good last season, given that they’re the most recent league champions. That means you don’t get the teething pains of an expansion team. You’re not going to have to stick through a couple seasons of a team finding its footing, Edmonton already did that for you, now you can enjoy top level lacrosse. The ability to win is always a good sign for a sports team, even if it couldn’t save it in Edmonton itself. Then again, while Saskatoon is theoretically appealing, we’re heading into uncharted territory. The city is unproven in a lot of ways, and there are sports it just doesn’t support – baseball can’t survive there, the rotting carcasses of failed teams litter the parks – and lacrosse would be a new experiment for the city to take on. There’s no indication of whether this is going to be proof that Saskatoon can handle professional sports or if it’ll be a warning to other teams contemplating setting up in the city. If you want Saskatoon to have a pro sports team, you have to support this lacrosse team, its success is the only way that city is going to get anything else. It’s going to be part of the case for or against any future expansion.

Your letter of the Week
Welcome to Stephen Harper’s recession
Not the time for Brad Wall to play western alienation card
To the Editor:
While using careful language, Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz confirmed last week what most Canadians could already feel in their daily lives. Another recession is hobbling this country and Stephen Harper’s economic “plan” has failed. The official definition of “recession” is two consecutive calendar quarters when the economy shrinks. Governor Poloz says there was a “contraction” of 0.6 per cent through January, February and March of this year, followed by further shrinkage of 0.5 per cent in April, May and June. The government can no longer deny that hard reality. Significantly, Canada is the only G7 country to be suffering such a relapse. So much for Mr. Harper’s vain boast that we’re doing better than the rest of the world. Governor Poloz is hoping for some recovery over the next six months, but he is slashing his forecast of annual growth for the whole of 2015 from 1.9 per cent down to just 1.1 per cent - cutting it almost in half. He has also trimmed his growth projection for next year, while postponing any expectation of full economic recovery
into 2017. In the short run, using the calculations spelled out in the government’s own 2015 budget, an annual economic growth rate as low as 1.1 per cent surely eliminates any claim that the Harper Conservatives have balanced their books. Their deficit continues, and thus their rationale for big tax breaks for wealthier households has been destroyed. So in real life, what does all this mean? For middle class families and all those trying to get to the middle class, a “no growth” economy means sluggish employment, weak and sporadic job creation and poor job quality. It means stagnant incomes, ballooning consumer debts and serious concerns about making ends meet. A stalled or shrinking economy causes families to worry about the affordability of their housing and the costs of post-secondary education for their kids. It makes it harder to put money aside for retirement. And worsens inequality. Perhaps most troubling, a majority of Canadians now doubt that their children will be able to do as well as their parents. Our usual expectation of progress - of upward mobility,
almost automatically, from one generation to the next - has been eroded. All this has happened on Stephen Harper’s watch. To obscure his failure, he always blames the 2008 recession (which ended six years ago), and then he blames the Americans and the Chinese and even the Greeks - any scapegoat he can find. But more serious than his denial of responsibility is Mr. Harper’s claim that Canadians are helpless victims of circumstances beyond all control. There is nothing different or better to do, he says. We just have to hunker down, and keep following his “plan” - a plan that has clearly failed. What a dismal prospect. Canada deserves better. To begin with, the federal government needs to stop contradicting the Bank of Canada. By cutting interest rates twice this year, Governor Poloz is pushing a pro-growth monetary policy, while the Harper regime insists on going in the opposite direction of restrictive fiscal policy, reducing aggregate demand. Such incoherence is untenable. To help growth, the hodge-podge of existing programs to offset the
high costs of raising children should be consolidated, remodelled and enhanced. We need a new “Canada Child Benefit” - one that’s more generous, linked to income, indexed and non-taxable. That way, you can provide more support to 9-outof-10 families, boosting their spending power. It’s also more fair and greater fairness is good for growth. Also helpful would be a substantial tax rate reduction on incomes in the middle class bracket ($45k - $90k). The federal government should also invest more in public and community infrastructure (which the federal Finance Department itself says is the single most cost-effective way to generate immediate growth and jobs), plus better access to post-secondary education, higher learning and advanced skills, and a big leap forward in Canadian science, technology and innovation. These are just some of the alternatives that would be distinctly better than Mr. Harper’s recession. Canadians don’t need to be as helpless or as vulnerable as Mr. Harper has made us.

Time for a rural health care review and a new strategy To the Editor: This week, I shared in the grief and frustration of Floyd Head’s family. Floyd had a heart attack in his home just a half a block away from the Preeceville Hospital, but it took seven hours to get him to Regina – too late to save his life. That’s because the Preeceville Hospital, like so many others throughout the province, was locked. In June, the government shut down the Preeceville emergency room every second week, putting it on “bypass” in alternate weeks, forbidding ambulances from stopping there. Preeceville doesn’t have enough physicians to keep its emergency room open.
Hospitals with intermittent hours and understaffing are hurting rural families’ access to health care. It’s time for a review of rural health care, and a new strategy to meet the need. We’ve heard from moms in Preeceville who are scared for their kids. We’ve spoken with seniors in Craik who are furious the government refused to let them keep their full-time doctor and their ER. And we’ve heard from families and community leaders who say the government is not taking the potentially deadly problem of rural health claw backs seriously. For families living in or near Central Butte, Assiniboia, Biggar and others, a review is long overdue. Head’s son, David
Head, will never know if his dad could have survived with quicker access to treatment – but he said no person should have an hours-long journey to get emergency care. I agree. Making cuts and creating a toxic environment driven by John Black Lean in which health professionals are expected to do more with less – these things are not helping with the recruitment of physicians and nurse practitioners. It’s time to consult health professionals and put a new strategy in place for rural Saskatchewan so no one is far from 24-hour emergency care. NDP Health critic Danielle Chartier

To the Editor: His argument, however, hits the mark on so many points CALGARY, AB/ Troy Media/ – Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall stoked the fires of western alienation when he suggested this week that equalization dollars should be sent to Ontario and Quebec in a pipeline. Make no mistake, these comments struck a deep chord in the West. After all, the western Canadian identity was forged in the concept of western alienation – the idea that Canada’s four western provinces have been excluded from the affairs of mainstream Canadian politics to the benefit of Ontario and Quebec. Wall’s argument hits the mark on so many points. First, he was right to remind us that western Canadian provinces should not rush to take economic advice from jurisdictions like Ontario and Quebec, which have not found a way themselves to maintain global competitiveness while occupying the moral high ground. More appreciation of the West’s contribution and less moralizing would be a welcome change. Second, Ontario and Quebec (and, for that matter, British Columbia) should not be hijacking the federation by placing conditions on the development of oil sands and pipelines. Natural resources are squarely within provincial jurisdiction and the production and transportation of such goods should not be derailed by those seeking economic concessions (or more wealth transfer). Accepting this highway robbery could literally destroy Canada as a trading nation. Third, provinces do not have the constitutional authority to stop pipelines. The decision is fully within the federal government’s purview. However, as Wall knows, politics matter (especially with a federal election approaching). It was politics that allowed Wall to prevent the BHP Billiton takeover of the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan in 2010. In fairness, Wall acknowledged that this was a federal decision and at no point suggested Saskatchewan would not comply with the decision if it had gone against him. It is easy for Wall – a true statesman with a deft populist touch – to stoke the fires of western alienation at a time when western Canadian economic interests seem to be under siege by central Canada. However, it would be wrong to suggest that western Canada’s interests will not be well–served by thoughtful action to address climate change. The story is now well understood. Oil producers in western Canada lack meaningful access to global markets. They are forced to sell into the North American market at a significant discount to global prices. This reduces investment, royalties and taxes that would provide public goods, like education and healthcare to all Canadians. The desire to block access is motivated, in large part, by the belief that Canada has been inactive on climate change. Yes, Alberta and Saskatchewan have taken some steps to address climate change. Yes, they have focused on technological solutions like carbon capture and storage (which could be used in countries like China and India where the real global emissions battle will be waged). But, in a Canadian context, Alberta and Saskatchewan account for nearly half of GHG emissions – and each province has a responsibility to do more. But, let’s not fall into the trap of this being a zerosum game. Pricing carbon in western Canada does not need to result in a large wealth transfer to central Canada. This is part of the benefit of provinces developing their own systems – as opposed to Ottawa imposing a one-size-fits-all system. A well-designed system can also protect trade exposed industries and make sure we are not simply exporting emissions to jurisdictions with less stringent (or non–existent) environmental policies. And, yes, an agreement between provinces on climate may clear the political barriers that are halting pipelines. As our premiers seek agreement on a path forward on energy and the environment in St. John’s this week, they would do well to remember that the interests of Canadians are aligned on this issue. There is a time to stoke the fires of western alienation. This is not it. Now is the time to demonstrate that provinces are capable of working together to advance Canadian interests. If provinces want to lead, they should do so. Trevor McLeod is the Director of the Centre for Natural Resources Policy at the Canada West Foundation. www.troymedia.com

CPP expansions reduce private savings Forcing Canadians to contribute more to CPP or Ontario pension plan will reduce voluntary private savings TORONTO—When Canadians were forced to contribute more to the Canada Pension Plan in the 1990s and early 2000s, they ended up saving less voluntarily, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. “Calls for an expanded Canada Pension Plan, or the upcoming provincial pension plan in Ontario, often rely on the dubious claim that Canadians aren’t saving enough for retirement. Yet if Canadians are forced to save more in government-run plans, they’ll save less privately, with little change in their overall savings,” said Charles Lammam, director of fiscal studies at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Compulsory Government Pensions vs. Private Savings: The Effect of Previous Expansion to the Canada Pension Plan. The study, which
builds on past Fraser Institute work, examines the saving patterns of Canadian households from 1986 to 2008. It focuses on major changes to the CPP between 1996 and 2004, when the total contribution rate rose from 5.6 per cent to 9.9 per cent of insurable earnings. According to the study, past increases in mandatory CPP contributions were followed by a decrease in private savings among Canadian households. Specifically, with each percentage point increase in the total CPP contribution rate, the private savings rate of the average Canadian household dropped by 0.895 percentage points (after accounting for interest rate changes and demographics shifts in age, income, and home ownership). “The research suggests that for every one dollar increase in CPP contributions, Canadian households, on average, reduced private savings by one dollar,” Lammam said. Interestingly, this reduction in private savings was more pro-
nounced among the young (under 30) and mid-career households (ages 30-49) and less evident among those approaching retirement (ages 50–64). In addition, the study finds a larger drop in private savings among lower- and middle-income households and practically no drop for those with higher incomes. So why does it matter that Canadians will save less privately (in RRSPs, TFSAs, and other private investments) when forced to save more in government savings (through an expanded
CPP or the new ORPP in Ontario)? Because private retirement savings can offer more choice and flexibility than CPP savings. For instance, with RRSP savings, Canadians can tailor their investments, pull money out for a downpayment on a home or to upgrade their education, transfer the money to a beneficiary in the event of death, and withdraw money in case of emergency. These benefits are lost when Canadians are forced to save more in CPP or the Ontario
Retirement Pension Plan. “Canadians choose how much they save and spend based on their income and preferred lifestyle. If their income and preferences do not change, and the government mandates additional savings through government pension plans, Canadians will simply reshuffle their retirement savings, with more money going to forced savings and less to voluntary savings,” Lammam said. “The benefits to a mandatory expansion of the CPP, or a new prov-
incial plan in Ontario, should be weighed against the costs, which will include a reduction in private, voluntary savings.” A short video highlighting the effects of CPP expansion is also available at the Fraser Institute’s YouTube channel.

Vaccines and their side effects
Vaccines are recommended to prevent disease and keep us healthy. Vaccines are responsible for something called “herd immunity.” If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a certain disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get sick himself. During the past 60 years, vaccines have helped eradicate smallpox and almost wiped out all cases of polio. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reports a 99 percent reduction in the incidence of bacterial meningitis since the introduction of the vaccination against the disease. Despite the good they can do, some people are hesitant to follow recommended vaccination schedules for fear of side effects. Some side effects are legitimate, but many studies continue to indicate there is no relationship between vaccines and autism. Vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing prior to being approved for use and, once approved, are continually monitored for safety. But as with any medication, there are possible side effects associated with vaccinations, although most are not serious. The following are some side effects that people may experience after being vaccinated. • injection site reactions, such as pain,
swelling, a small lump, and redness • mild fever • shivering • fatigue • headache • muscle and joint pain More serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, are rare. Parents should monitor their children after vaccinations for any behavior or health changes. Some doctors recommend taking a fever reducer, such as ibuprofen, if a fever develops and makes a child or adult feel uncomfortable after he or she is vaccinated. Many vaccination side effects are shortlived and not a cause for concern. But if side effects do not subside shortly after you have been vaccinated, bring this to the attention of your physician. It can be tempting to forgo vaccines out of fear of any of the aforementioned side effects. But the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risks. Although they are not 100 percent effective in every person, vaccines do provide the best defense against diseases that can kill or injure millions of people. For more information on vaccine schedules, visit the CDC (www.cdc.gov) or the American Academy of Pediatrics (www. aap.org). Doctors also can provide a wealth of information about immunizations.

Ask these questions when house hunting Five insulation questions to ask your realtor when house-hunting Don’t let old, inefficient building envelopes affect your monthly heating and cooling bills Knowing about a home’s insulation is an important part of assessing how much energy your new purchase will consume, and should be considered before making such a big investment. While a first step is to examine the heating and cooling bills over a three-year period, the next step should involve working with your realtor and exploring the following questions to ascertain whether you desire the house under consideration that will provide you with comfort and cost savings. Was this house built under an energy efficient home program? Programs such as R-2000, LEED®, GreenHouse®, and Energy Star® provide labels for homes that have been built or renovated according to standards which either met or exceeded building code requirements. The label can provide you with confidence that the home was insulated and has a better building enve-
lope than most other homes built in the same time period. Some homes even have inscribed bricks or plaques indicating they were built in accordance with a specific program. Has a home energy audit been undertaken? Home energy audits are relatively inexpensive and provide suggestions on which energy efficiency upgrades would help reduce the home’s energy consumption. Even if the previous homeowners have not done the suggested work, the audit report is a useful tool to assess what energy efficiency work can be undertaken. Incentive programs offered by local governments and utility companies help leverage the costs of retrofitting and upgrading insulation. Ask your real estate agent if they have any energy efficiency audit paperwork.
way to get a “snapshot” of the cold spots and distribution of insulation in your house. What kind of insulation was used? The type of insulation used can impact your health and comfort. For years, a UFFI (Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation) foam rider appeared on real estate purchase offers and is
now considered a health hazard. Some older homes contain vermiculite insulation, which was used into the early 1970s and is also coming under increased scrutiny as a health hazard. Meanwhile, fibre glass, rock wool, and slag wool insulation improve the comfort of your home by providing excellent thermal and

Even a fortune cookie can offer good advice Ed, my old neighbor from Saskatchewan, claimed that he suffered from my good advice for years until I moved away. One piece of advice that sure got him puffing more vigorously was my warning that his cigarette smoking was a danger to his health. My old neighbor snapped that it was his health and that he would smoke five packs of cigarettes a day if he wanted to do so. He also added that I should shut up about his health. He said that my good advice was as valuable as the wisdom you get out of a fortune cookie. I thought about Ed’s rejection of my good advice when I
walked down First Avenue in Chilliwack yesterday. There I saw a worker on her work break, outside her store smoking her cigarette. I thought I should mention that it was dangerous to her health, but I didn’t do it. Would you accept or reject the advice given to you by a stranger on the street? The next time I talk to Ed my old neighbor by Skype, I will tell him about some folks who took some good advice, and it turned to be a great, once-in-a-lifetime experience for them. Dan Rothman and his nineyear-old son came to Chilliwack from New Jersey being advised
Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com that giant monster fish still swim in the Fraser River. They went out fishing with a company called Great River Fishing Adventures, and the nine year-oldson, Kegan, caught a 600 pound Great WhiteSturgeon on the Fraser River. I have the article cut out of the Chilliwack paper as proof for Ed. Acting on good
advice may prove to be better than good. We do not see all advice as good, so we reject what doesn’t seem like good advice to us. We may never be ready for any advice but our own. Doing what we want may have deadly results both physically and spiritually but, we demand our personal freedom to choose what we do or not do. Many
sing Frank Sinatra’s tribute to himself, “I did it my way!” How many folks are frustrated because they feel trapped by situations and circumstances where they cannot do it their way? Doing it my way is highly overrated. Ed used to tell me that there was no other way but his way unless his wife Ruby was within earshot. The Bible tells of folks who learned God’s word is never overrated. Loving God with all one’s heart, soul, mind and strength and one’s neighbor as oneself enriches Christian lives because it is God’s way. God’s
way calls Christians to love God and our neighbor first and then, ourselves, last. God’s love is greater than our attempts to live in love for God and others. As Christians, we do not brag that we love God and our neighbor perfectly, or even well. We live by faith in Jesus Christ God’s Son, who acted in perfect love on our behalf. Saying that I did it my way may lead to regrets. It isn’t possible to always know that, what we are doing is the best way of living our lives. Christians trust that God’s way of love for us through faith in Christ is the best way now and forever.
An introduction to the back yard universe Most people have a basic understanding of the general workings of the Earth, Moon and Sun and a few snippets of the other stuff out there, which is pretty much all that most care to know. Other than the occasional eclipse, appearance of a bright ‘star’ or story about spacecraft passing Pluto, anything happening outside of our atmosphere really has nothing to do with everyday life. This, of course, is not quite accurate, but we’ll leave that for another day. This series of articles is being written because, in my early teens, I found the night sky fascinating, an interest that has not diminished over the last five decades. Part of the joy is sharing that passion with others.

Piping Plovers get ready for their winter vacation It may still feel like summer to you and I, but Piping Plovers have already begun to prepare for the winter. “Piping Plovers are small migratory shorebirds that nest in Saskatchewan during the summer months, and spend the winter months on the coastal beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Islands such as Cuba,” says Rebecca Magnus, Habitat Stewardship Coordinator with Nature Saskatchewan. “Piping Plovers will begin migrating in early August after the young have spent the month of July practicing their flying skills, and growing quickly in preparation for migration,” says Magnus. The Piping Plover is an endangered species, which means that this species could become extirpated from Canada
in the future. A total of 775 individual Piping Plovers were counted in Saskatchewan during the 2011 International Piping Plover Breeding Census. Unfortunately, this number is lower than the 1,435 plovers counted in Saskatchewan during the 2006 census. Piping Plovers face numerous threats, including fluctuating water levels, predation, inclement weather, and livestock that can cause pugging and hummocking on shorelines (which can cause chicks to become trapped) and can trample nests. Piping Plovers, not to be confused with Killdeer, have a single black neckband, whereas Killdeer have two black neckbands. Piping Plovers are also smaller than Killdeer, and have orange legs rather than the typically dark yellow legs common
to Killdeer. Plovers have a lighter grey back than the Killdeer’s brown back, and the Piping Plover’s breast is white. Another distinguishing feature of the Piping Plover is its orange bill that is black tipped. Nature Saskatchewan has a voluntary land stewardship program for landowners with Piping Plovers on their land. This program, Plovers on Shore, involves a voluntary “handshake” agreement where the landowner agrees to conserve shoreline habitat for these endangered birds. To learn more about the Piping Plover, or if you have Piping Plovers on your shoreline and would be interested in a face-to-face visit and discussion with the Plovers on Shore Coordinator, please contact Nature Saskatchewan at 1-800667-4668 or (306) 7809832.

Questions about pre-harvest management
This time of year there are many questions about harvest management and the use of pre-harvest chemicals in crops. Often the questions asked include “Should I desiccate my crop?” and “What should I spray and when is the best time to spray my crop?” In order to answer these questions, it is important to understand the difference between spraying a crop desiccant such as diquat and using a preharvest glyphosate for harvest management. A crop desiccant is used when a crop or other green material needs to be dried down quickly for harvesting. Under good growing conditions, desiccants dry down the crop in four to seven days as
well as any weeds that may be the field. It is important to note that a desiccant such as diquat is a contact herbicide. This means that the herbicide will not move through the plant and therefore it requires good coverage of the plant surface when sprayed to work effectively. However, there is no control of perennial weeds in fields when using a desiccant and crops can regrow if there is any late season moisture after the plants have already dried down. Pre-harvest glyphosate is often used as a good perennial weed control tool later in the season for some troublesome weeds such as Canada thistle, perennial sow thistle, quackgrass and dandelions.
Pre-harvest glyphosate can also help with uneven maturity crops and will assist with drying down weeds so they are easier to harvest. Dry down with pre-harvest glyphosate occurs at a much slower rate than desiccants, and generally occurs ten to fourteen days after spraying under good growing conditions. The longer time period is needed to allow the herbicide to move throughout the plant and into the roots. Neither a crop desiccant nor the use of preharvest glyphosate will help the crop to finish maturing. Rather both diquat and glyphosate will dry plants down at whatever stage of maturity they are sprayed at. It is important that the majority
of the seed in the stand has reached physiological maturity to reduce the risk of potential yield loss. The stage at which a seed has reached physiological maturity is different for each crop. For example, most cereal crops reach this stage and are ready for pre-harvest glyphosate application when the seeds are at the hard dough stage. This can be determined by pressing a kernel with your thumbnail. If the line from the impression remains on the seed then it is ready to be sprayed. In pulse crops such as peas, a crop desiccant is generally used when all of the bottom pods are ripe and the seeds are detached within those pods. The decision wheth-
er or not to use a desiccant or pre-harvest glyphosate also depends on factors other than weed control and targeted dry down periods. It is important to know the pre-harvest intervals for applying glyphosate or a desiccant to a crop. This could affect the level of Maximum Residues Levels (MRL) in the crop and could impact where and how the crop can be marketed. If grain is going to be used for seed, then pre-harvest glyphosate should not be applied in order to minimize any negative impacts on seed germination and plant stand establishment the following year. Alternatively, swathing is another tool that can also be used to help dry crops for harvest but
also comes with risks if conditions become wet. Each option comes with its own advantages and disadvantages and what works one year may not be the best solution the next year. Therefore it is important to evaluate each field individually to see which option will provide the best overall results and fit within your operation.

Healthy ways to handle symptoms of stress Stress affects people of all ages. The symptoms of stress can be extremely unpleasant, as participants in a study released earlier this year by the Statistic Brain Research Institute and the American Institute of Stress who reported experiencing physical symptoms of stress admitted to feeling fatigue, headache, upset stomach, and muscle tension, among other things. Among those who reported feeling physical symptoms of stress, 77 percent admitted to feeling those symptoms regularly, citing job pressure and money as the primary
causes of their stress. How men and women handle stress can impact both their immediate and longterm health, as stress has been linked to a host of problems and ailments, including sleep dysfunction and heart disease. Many people cope with stress in unhealthy ways, which may only exacerbate the effects of stress on the body. Certain methods of handling stress may work for some people but not others, but the following are a few healthy ways to combat stress. • Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption. Many adults turn to alcohol at
the end of a stressful day, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that relying on alcohol to cope with stress may only create more problems down the road, and those problems will only increase your stress levels. In addition, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America notes that alcohol and caffeine can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks. • Rely on a support network. Coworkers, family and friends have stressful days, too, and such confidantes can help you handle stress in healthy ways. The ADAA recommends men
and women dealing with stress let their support circle know how they can help relieve stress. Many people simply need to talk to someone after a stressful day, which can feel like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Let your support network know you’re there for them when they experience stress as well. • Get daily exercise. Exercise pays a host of dividends, not the least of which is relieving stress. At the end of a stressful day, get some exercise instead of pouring yourself a drink or indulging in an unhealthy meal. When the body is
physically active, the brain secretes endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that make you feel good. Regular exercise also helps you get a fuller, deeper sleep, which can be disrupted by stress. • Eat a healthy diet. Diet also can affect how your body handles stress. Certain foods can tame stress. For example, oatmeal can boost levels of a calming chemical known as serotonin in your brain. That calming effect can make it easier to cope with stress. Other foods may help strengthen the immune system. Vitamin C, for instance, may help
curb levels of stress hormones such as cortisol while simultaneously strengthening the immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish such as salmon and tuna, may help prevent surges in stress hormones while also protecting against heart disease and depression, two serious conditions that studies have linked to elevated stress levels. Healthy ways to handle stress can help men and women who are stressed out ensure that stress is not compromising both their immediate and longterm health.
When a headache might be more serious a type of headache that can affect vision and may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light and sound. Although headaches can be painful, they often are harmless. Once a headache subsides, a person can resume normal
activity. However, some headaches are indicative of a more serious condition and warrant further investigation. Should a headache fit the following criteria, it may be time to visit a doctor promptly. • Extreme pain: If the headache comes on very

suddenly and is characterized by extreme pain, it may be a sign of an aneurysm. This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain tears and cuts off blood supply to a part of the brain. Aneurysms are treatable if medical attention is promptly sought. • Head injury: Headache following sports injuries or head trauma should be checked by physicians. Injuries can cause brain swelling and buildup of fluid inside of the skull. • Neurological issues: If the headache is accompanied by neurological issues, such as slurred speech, problems moving your limbs, changes in vision, confusion, or memory loss, see a doctor. • First-time headache for older adult: Headaches in adulthood following a lifelong pattern of headaches may be nothing to worry about.

of recent headaches are unlike past symptoms, it may be wise to talk to a doctor about the changes. Changes can include increased frequency, different pain locations or anything other new symptoms. Headaches are often innocuous, but in some instances, they may be signs of something serious. Visit a doctor to rule out more serious implications of headaches.

SIGA commits $$ for wildfire evacuees S a s k a t o o n , Saskatchewan – The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) has committed $100,000 for relief efforts in addition to volunteering and fundraising to help Saskatchewan forest fire evacuees. SIGA’s Board Chair Reginald Bellerose spoke today about relief efforts, “We would like to recognize the hard work of all of the people in communities across this province who are involved in relief efforts and getting the wildfires under control. The safety of our communities has been a major concern for us all and there have been so many groups and individuals that have
worked tirelessly to support the regions and people where the fires are burning. Thank you all.” Many of SIGA’s employees are from the communities that have been struggling through the evacuations. SIGA and its employees conducted fundraising events, in addition to donating hundreds of meals and necessary items such as water and baby blankets. These are just a few of the ways that they gave their support to those in need. “We are supporting the Red Cross and the Salvation Army in their work, and we have also stepped up our efforts by donating funds
directly through the Prince Albert Grand Council and the Meadow Lake Tribal Council for their communities,” shared SIGA’s President & CEO Zane Hansen. “It has been outstanding to also see our employees giving even more; they are involved in efforts above and beyond what anyone would expect of them. We are very proud of them.” SIGA will continue to support efforts in these matters and our thoughts remain foremost with the people of the province that are struggling with the effects of these from the regions of these wildfires.
Wall receives support of premiers for preparedness for wildfires Premier Brad Wall announced today that he is pleased that other premiers have joined Saskatchewan and BC to call on the federal government on measures that will improve preparedness and response to wildfires. Wildfires across western Canada this summer have reinforced the need for a strong and coordinated emergency management and public safety system. “This year’s fires in Canada were unique in that there were multiple large forest fires in several jurisdictions at the same time,” said Wall. “We need to be prepared in the event that this situation happens again in the future, and I believe that partnering with the federal government will help us accomplish that goal.” Wall said
Wednesday he would like to ensure Canadian Forces receive additional training in fighting forest fires so that, in the event they are needed, they can provide assistance on the front line immediately. Premiers will be requesting their ministers responsible for emergency measures to work with the federal government to: Explore the idea of creating a national supply of wildfire fighting equipment; Ensure that training is provided to Canadian Forces personnel in wildfire fighting techniques; and, Evaluate and improve the existing agreement for sharing firefighting resources between provinces. “We are grateful to all of those who have assisted Saskatchewan during this unprecedented
fire season - all professional and volunteer firefighters both inside and outside our province, our Armed Forces, and private citizens who have all been necessary to battle the fires threatening many communities,” said Wall. Wall said he was grateful to Premiers for agreeing to the idea of a national contingency for future wide-spread fires.
