Government transfers Fisheries enhancement
responsibilities to Sask. Wildlife Federation
A trust agreement signed between the Ministry of Environment and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation
(SWF) marks the transfer of the 100 year-old provincial
fish hatchery to the SWF.
The agreement includes the transfer of staff and fisheries programming through the Fish and Wildlife Development Fund (FWDF). The fish enhancement component of the FWDF was established in 1984 to ensure
the sustainability of Saskatchewan’s fish resource with
a primary focus on habitat management and population
enhancement.
“The transfer will facilitate a stronger industry-led
partnership within the Fish and Wildlife Development
Fund by assigning responsibility of program delivery
and administration duties to the Saskatchewan Wildlife
Federation,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “We
see this as a positive step for fisheries habitat enhancement and the fish stocking programs.”
Day-to-day operations will be transferred over the
next several months.
Program oversight, policy development and fish stocking plans will remain the responsibility of the ministry. Ownership of the fish culture station and required
equipment purchased by the FWDF will remain the
2011 Harper campaign promise
closer to reality
By The Canadian Taxpayers Federation
The Canadian Taxpayers
Federation (CTF) hailed today’s announcement from
the federal Department of
Finance of a $400 million
budget surplus in the first
quarter of 2014-15.
“This surplus number is
a big step towards making
good on Stephen Harper’s
2011 campaign promise
to balance the budget in
2014,” said CTF Federal
Director Gregory Thomas.
“We may soon be able to
take our Federal Debt Clock
off the road.”
Thomas revealed that
CTF supporters recently
paid to reprogram the debt
clock to enable it to run
backwards, hoping to see a
debt repayment schedule in
the next federal budget.
“We believe that $157 billion in additional federal
debt since the 2008 financial meltdown represents
an unfair and unnecessary
burden on our children and
grandchildren,” said Thomas.
The federal government
ran a surplus of $1.6 billion
in the month of June alone,
compared to a surplus of
$200 million a year earlier.
In the first three months
of the current fiscal year,
federal revenue rose $2.5
billion to $67.2 billion while
program expenses fell
$400 million to $59.1 billion, with direct program
expenses down $1.4 billion.
Interest on the debt fell $49
million to $7.6 billion.
“It’s taken eight years to
property of the Crown, although operational use will be
transferred to the SWF.
As part of the trust agreement, a Capital Reserve Fund
will be created to provide for future upgrades to the fish
hatchery and for other fisheries enhancement developments.
“The SWF is very excited to take on this new role in
the enhancement of Saskatchewan’s fisheries resources,”
SWF President David Pezderic said. “This new program
delivery model will provide the opportunity to secure
additional federal and corporate funding to strengthen
and improve our hatchery operations, benefiting present
and future generations of Saskatchewan anglers.”
The fish hatchery is located on Highway 210, east of
Echo Valley Provincial Park, just outside Fort Qu’Appelle.
The FWDF was established under The Natural Resources Act to carry out fish and wildlife conservation
and enhancement programing in Saskatchewan, including management of lands purchased through the fund.
FWDF funding is secured from a 30 per cent levy on
hunting, trapping and angling licence sales revenue.

get to this point and hopefully we have another decade of surplus like we saw
from 1997 to 2008,” said

OPINION

‘Summer? Was
that it?’
One of the downsides of having a Facebook account is that
frequently we see horrific images from elsewhere. For what
purpose, I can’t tell. True enough, it’s a welcome change from
the cat videos, selfies into the bathroom mirror, recipes for a
diabetic’s nightmare, and somebody’s lunch.
This week’s batch of horrific photos comes from Alberta,
parts of which were treated to a nasty bit of business from
one Mother Nature, who saw to it that everything would be
clothed in white for most of the
weekend – and early into the week.
Perhaps the worst thing about
seeing a barbecue and lawn chair
on a deck in Leduc or Ponoka buried under half a foot of snow so early
in September is that normally, we
get today the weather that Alberta
had yesterday.
I can tell you this: no matter how
much snow Calgary and environs
get, by the 15th there won’t be any
sign of it. Not only will it be gone,

experience. Many years ago in my
previous life, I moved to Calgary to
take a job. I arrived on the Labor
Day weekend, and was greeted the
next morning by a blanket of fresh snow that had fallen overnight. By noon, though, all the snow was gone and the entire
city was dry.
I had experienced my very first chinook. I had heard about
the chinook, but to that point it was just an aberration of nature referenced in science textbooks. Being there was a horse
of a different color.
Of course, it was early September, so most felt that the chinook was wasted, as normal September temperatures would
have melted the snow soon enough. Wasted, as though the
weather sheriff allowed just so many chinooks in a year, and
there might come a time when Calgarians would desperately
need a chinook and they would be told “sorry, you used up
your quota.”
That time came in January and part of February, when for a
stretch of something like 25 days the thermometer never rose
above -35 F (that was in pre-Celcius days, so a quick conversion puts it about -30 C). As I drove to work each day, I could
see people lined up at the bus stops facing west. They were
all looking directly west, searching the sky for the beginnings
of the tell-tale arch that signified the onset of the anticipated
chinook.
Mother Nature took great pleasure in denying Calgarians
the respite they were looking for, until finally, one day, the
unmistakable separation of cloud and blue sky signalled the
approach of a chinook. Before long, the arch was directly overhead, and it was possible to actually watch the mercury rise
in the thermometer, and watch the snow melt and the water
begin rushing down the street.
Well, we may not have chinooks, but we also don’t have
those darned mountains that block our view of the wide expanse of sky. Besides, we’ll have a good chunk of good weather between now and the first snowfall. And there’s one thing
about snowfalls in Saskatchewan – when it falls, it generally
stays.

Speaking of the weather, the sixteen guys who embarked
on the local Ryder Cup tournament at Spiritwood Golf Course
this past weekend were somewhat blessed. While the sun
barely shone, there was no rain and it wasn’t too cold.
This was the fourth year for the tournament, which brings
family and friends back to town to take part. Many of the
bunch either live away or work away, and they are willing to
go through fire to get the time off work to come home for it.
Ten of the sixteen come from three families, but all sixteen
are good friends who for the most part grew up together.
Many played hockey together, went to school together, well,
you get the picture.
It was fun to be there.

Enrolment speaks to rural influence decline
There is no mistake rural Saskatchewan has
been in a position of power and influence for
the past seven years of Premier Brad Wall’s
government.
Saskatchewan Party MLAs representing
all 29 rural seats and nearly two-thirds of
the government caucus. Rural Saskatchewan
hasn’t enjoyed this much political representation since the 1960s when the rural population
vastly outnumbered the urban population and
city MLAs had no seats but were elected at
large.
The same can said for Wall’s cabinet that
now has no representation from Prince Albert
or Moose Jaw and only three MLAs from each
Regina and Saskatoon. In fact, Saskatoon
representation actually decreased to three
ministers in the spring shuffle from four with
both Rob Norris and Ken Cheveldayoff being
dropped.
Moreover, rural ministers represent all the
most influence portfolios included finance
(Ken Krawetz), health (Dustin Duncan) energy and economic development (Bill Boyd),
social services (Donna Harpauer), govern-
ment relations (Jim Reiter), agriculture (Lyle
Stewart) and, of course,
the premier’s office occupied by Wall.
About the only urban
minister with a senior
portfolio right now is

Facts about
beef production
Dear Editor
Re: “Healthy by Nature” by Laura Lepard and
Tammie Burak, printed July 18, 2014
Beef is a perennial favorite for Canada’s summer
barbeque season. Canada’s high quality, safe, nutritious beef comes from cattle producers across the
country that care for the environment, their cattle,
and the quality of meat they produce. As a beef producer, I am concerned about well-intentioned but
misinformed ‘experts’ who spread myths about beef.
I ranch near Shellbrook, Saskatchewan and chair
the Beef Cattle Research Council. Together with Dr.
Reynold Bergen, the BCRC’s science director, we’d
like to address and clarify some of the more common myth-information. Nutrition: Beef is good for
you. A growing body of research indicates that unprocessed red meat is not associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, coronary heart disease, or
LDL-cholesterol levels. In addition to protein, beef
and other red meats contain iron, zinc, selenium,
potassium, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamin
B12. These nutrients are essential for optimal health
throughout your life.

possible can to cater to rural needs.
Besides specific policies to reduce municipal/education taxes on agricultural land, increase highways spending and build rural
hospital and nursing homes, Wall has even
appointed a minister in charge of rural and remote health. That he would assign one minister to this task while asking another to handle
both the massive departments of education
and labour says much about the influence of
rural issues on this government.
The very fact that this government choose
to keep the numbers of rural seats the same _
despite the on-going decline in rural population _ also says much.
However, the slow march of that population
shift from rural to urban in Saskatchewan
(which, essentially, gains all three of the new
seats the government will be adding) says
even more.

beef production to reduce the amount of feed and
time required to bring cattle to market weight.
This not only reduces the environmental footprint
of producing beef, it helps keep beef affordable.
Only products that have been approved by Health
Canada’s Veterinary Drug Directorate can be used
in Canada. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency
randomly samples carcasses in beef packing plants
for potential contamination with antimicrobial,
growth promotants or other chemical residues. It is

later this month or early October, but expect
a story very similar story to one we saw last
year.
In 2013, student enrolment increased by
2,140 or 1.7 per cent to 170,582 students
throughout Saskatchewan. More interesting, however, was that most of that increase
was concentrated in the urban centres. Rural
school enrolment continues to decline.
Sure, there are exceptions like the Estevan
and Weyburn in the oil-booming south east
or the bedroom communities around Regina
and Saskatoon in particular.
But the most tell-tale statistics is that of the
28 school districts in the province last, only 17
experience an increase in enrolment, one had
no change and 10 suffered declines.
At a time of population growth unseen in
this province since the settlers flocked here for
cheap agriculture land, that we so many rural
schools are still losing kids tells us much.
And it reminds us is that there’s no greater
factor in political influence than population.
School enrolment numbers suggest these
heady days of rural influence won’t last for-
extremely rare that unacceptable residue levels are
detected.
Animal care is a primary concern for cattle producers and the public. The 2013 Code of Practice for
the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle describes the
level of care Canada’s cattle producers are expected
to
provide for the cattle in their care. The Code was
developed by Canadian cattle producers, veterinarians, scientists, animal welfare experts and regulatory personnel following a defined process developed
by the National Farmed Animal Care Council. Producers can refer to the Code to be sure their production practices are what’s best for their cattle, which
in turn increases their productivity.
Beef’s environmental footprint is shrinking. Improvements in beef production allow us to produce
the same amount of beef from fewer cattle, on less
land, using less feed and water, and producing less
manure and methane. Grazing cattle also contribute
to the environment in a number of ways. For example, a hectare of healthy native Canadian rangeland
can sequester the carbon emissions of 150 cars every
year. Well-maintained native rangelands also support biodiversity, providing habitat for many species of insects, birds, plants and wild animals.
If you have questions or want to learn more about
beef production, contact us at www.beefresearch.ca.

Tim Oleksyn, Shellbrook.

Rob Clarke Report
A Royal Canadian Air
Force airliner has completed its first delivery of
military equipment to security forces in Iraq who
are fighting the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Our Canadian Air Force
is working in concert with
several of our nation’s allies (including the United
Kingdom, the Republic of
Albania and the United
States) to provide this critical aid.
ISIL is a direct threat
to peace in security in the
region and represents a
serious menace to global
safety.
The military equipment
delivered will help to protect displaced Iraqis and
improve the precarious
situation innocent Iraq
find themselves in.

“In coordination with
our Allies, Canada is taking action with the Government of Iraq to counter
ISIL’s barbaric activities
and expansionist agenda
which are further destabilizing the region and
posing a very real threat
to global security,” announced Prime Minister
Harper, “The air support
we are providing will ensure security forces on the
ground have the weapons
they need to defend innocent Iraqi civilians against
these terrorists.”
Since the beginning of
2014, our Government has
allocated over $21 million
to support humanitarian
efforts in Iraq, with nearly
$12 million earmarked for
supporting
populations
affected by civil unrest
and nearly $10 million set
aside to aid Syrian refugees.
ISIL has been carrying
out a murderous rampage
in Northern Iraq since
the early part of this year,
seizing territory and systematically killing men,
women and children. More
than one million Iraqis
have been displaced by
ISIL.
By working with our allies to provide arms to
those fighting ISIL we
can help to bring stability
to the region and stop the
displacement and murder of innocent Iraqi citizens. The aid provided to
refugees can help re-build
lives and thwart the aims
of ISIL.

School zone safety focus
for September
With kids now back to school
around the province, September’s
traffic safety spotlight is highlighting school zone safety in Saskatchewan.
Police will be watching for traffic violations in and around school
zones, including drivers speeding
in school zones, failing to stop at
stop signs or yield signs, failing to
yield for pedestrians, failing to obey
crossing guards or failing to obey
school bus cross arms and flashing
lights.
“The combination of the hightraffic area and our most vulnerable road users – children – makes
school zones particularly risky,” said
Andrew Cartmell, President and
CEO of SGI. “Slow down and stay
alert to help keep everyone safe.”
In 2013*, there were 24 collisions
in school zones in the province, resulting in 9 injuries.
“If you drive even 10 km/h over
“It’s important to slow down
in a school zone”
the posted speed limit in a school
zone and you hit a child, you increase the risk of seriously injuring
that child by up to 50 per cent,” said
Cpl. Doug Green, Forensic Collision
Reconstructionist with the RCMP.
“And if you’re going 50 km/h in a 30
km/h zone, you might not even have
a chance to hit the brakes before you
hit them.”
That’s why it’s so important to
slow down.
Speed limits in school zones vary
by municipality, but they will be
marked with regulatory reflective
signs. In some areas of the province,
reduced speeds remain in effect evenings and weekends, not just during
regular school hours and some all
year long. Check with your local municipal office if you’re unsure of the
rules in your community.
Penalties for speeding in school
zones, under The Traffic Safety Act,
include a fine of at least $190 and
three demerit points under SGI’s
Safe Driver Recognition program.

Heart and Stroke
Foundation urges
Canadians to cut back
on sugar
The Heart and Stroke Foundation today released a position
statement proposing a maximum daily limit of added sugar to
help Canadians improve their diets and their overall health.
It is the first organization in the country to provide this concrete guidance. Currently Canadians are eating too much of the
sweet stuff, in all its forms. It is estimated that we are consuming more than 13 per cent of our total calorie intake from added
sugars. The Foundation is recommending that Canadians limit
their intake of added (or “free”) sugars to not more than 10 per
cent or ideally less than 5 per cent of total calorie intake per day.
Excess sugar consumption is linked to heart disease, stroke,
obesity, diabetes, high blood cholesterol, cancer and cavities.
“The bottom line is that Canadians are eating too much added sugar, and this can result in serious health consequences,”
says Bobbe Wood, President, Heart and Stroke Foundation.
“Identifying a daily threshold for added sugar is a first step to
helping all Canadians reduce how much sugar they consume,
and will improve their diets overall.”
Added sugars are those added to foods and drinks and include glucose, fructose, sucrose, brown sugar, honey, corn
syrup, maple syrup, molasses, fruit puree and juice etc. These
sugars provide extra calories but few or no nutritional benefits.
Fruit juice, either as a beverage or as a sweetener added to other foods, has less nutritional value than a piece of fruit and is
high in sugar. Added sugars do not include the sugars that are
found naturally in foods such as vegetables, fruit, milk, grains
and other plant-based foods (e.g., legumes and nuts).
To put the recommendation into context, for an average
2,000-calorie-a-day diet, 10 per cent is about 48 grams, or
12 teaspoons of sugar. Sugar-loaded beverages are the single
greatest contributor of sugar in our diets with one can providing 40 grams, or 10 teaspoons of sugar. That’s roughly 85 per
cent of the daily added sugar limit.
“We want Canadians to focus on reducing added sugars, not
the sugar that occurs naturally in vegetables, fruit and other
foods that are also packed with nutrients such as vitamins and
fibre. You cannot compare those healthy choices to a can of
pop that is loaded with sugar and has no health benefits – just
health risks,” says Bobbe Wood.
The position statement includes recommendations for Canadians, all levels of government, workplaces, schools, researchers, health organizations and industry to help reduce added
sugar consumption across the population.
The Foundation developed the position statement with input
from a panel of national and international experts, and the recommendations are in line with draft guidelines released by the
World Health Organization in March 2014. Up to 80 per cent
of early heart disease and stroke can be prevented by adopting
healthy behaviours which include eating a healthy diet.

AGRICULTURE
UAVs exciting new tool for farming
A few weeks back I was on the disc golf course in Yorkton,
and as I came away from the ninth basket I was drawn to
a gentleman operating a radio-controlled flying machine.
It was not an airplane, nor was it a helicopter.
The unit obviously had four motors and as I began a conversation with the operator I learned it was what is commonly referred to as a drone, on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV).
Often the UAV, like the one at the disc golf park, has a
camera mounted under the frame, allowing for aerial pictures.
Now one might wonder what seeing a UAV at a disc golf
course has to do with agriculture.
Well as it turned out I did a bit of research on UAVs, and
have found they are being touted as a rather exciting new
tool for farmers.
Farmers have been moving into more advanced field monitoring technologies for several years now. Producers are
already taking advantage of satellite imagery, Global Posi-
tioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in their precision
farming strategies.
With the adoption of these new technologies have come new systems which can
better analyze the associated data in such
a way that farmers can make better decisions in terms of precision farming.
But it is one thing to get an image from
a
satellite
in orbit, and quite another to be
CALVIN
able to create low level aerial images.
DANIELS
An airplane could be used, but there is
added expertise needed in terms of pilot~
ing such a craft, and a huge cost in terms
of airplane investment and operation.
Which brings us the realm of UAVs?
While initial costs and the range of sensor attachments is
rather diverse, in terms of a modern farm’s overall operational cost it is low.
Spiritwood Herald

The UAV in the hands of even a rather novice operator can
crisscross a field taking multiple images, which then becomes
another tool in terms of analyzing crop and weed conditions,
and the possible need for application of nutrients or crop protection products.
The potential for such technology is huge. The website
www.agadvance.com had a recent story where it was stated,
“according to a 2013 report by the Association for Unmanned
Vehicle Systems International, precision agriculture accounts
for 80 percent of the potential commercial market for unmanned aerial systems.
This market is predicted to hit US$3 billion in the next
three years, cresting to U$30 billion in the coming decade,
said the report.”
Certainly the ability to get a bird’s eye view across an entire field has to be an asset, and it is likely a UAV will become
common place in the half ton of most farmers in the years
ahead, another high-tech tool to improve the agronomics of
the industry.
Truth behind the numbers
Around the September
Long Weekend, some increasing geopolitical risk
premium was trying to
build into the market as
there are a growing number of reports of Russia increasing its military presence at and even inside the
Ukrainian border. There’s
also increasing buzz in the
market about the sudden
death syndrome (SDS) hitting some soybean fields
in parts of Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, & Indiana. In my
opinion, there’s not a lot
of bullish news out there
right now so to even out
the playing field, this story
is being pushed. If anything, the technical components of the market are
what’s showing a possible
short-term correction in
soybean prices, not a few
fields seeing yield potential drop from 50 to 10 bu/
ac. That being said, S.D.S.
is a disease that can overwinter and so re-planting
those fields next year likely
won’t happen. That being said, the earliest of
Plant 2015 surveys from
Farm Futures suggests
U.S. farmers will increase
their soybean acres by 2.6
per cent in 2015 to a 2nd
consecutive record area of
86.6 million acres, while
dropping corn acre again
by 1.25 per cent to 90.5
million acres.
The recent rains were
seen as positive for both
sides of the cornbelt with
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
& Nebraska all getting
a drink that was overdue. After their crop tour
last week, ProFarmer
pegged their overall US
corn yield at 169.3 bu/ac
(U.S.D.A. at 169.3 in the
last W.A.S.D.E.) and total
production at 14.093 bil-
lion bushels (14.032 billion). As for soybeans, the
group says 45.35 bu/ac will
come off, on average, from
American fields (U.S.D.A.
at 45.4 bu/ac), creating
an output of 3.812 billion
bushels (U.S.D.A. at 3.816
billion). The questions that
remain as the corn and
soybean harvests start up
now is just how much of
a record will the crop be
and where will it all go? To
answer the second question, there’s definitely going to be more than a few
grain piles on U.S. fields

Nitrates: what livestock producers need to know
by Alicia Sopatyk, BSA, AAg
Regional Livestock Specialist, Tisdale
Regional Services Branch
Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture
Under normal circumstances, plants take up nitrogen
in the form of nitrate; it is converted to ammonia which
is incorporated into plant protein. Cattle convert the nitrate from plants to nitrite which is in turn converted to
ammonia and used by microbes in the rumen to make
protein. However, with fall comes frost, and with frost
comes disrupted plant growth which can lead to nitrate
accumulation in the plant and potential toxic effects to
livestock. If not managed correctly, nitrate poisoning can
be fatal.
After a frost or other growth-disturbing event, plants
continue to take up nitrogen in the form of nitrate, but
the conversion to ammonia is dramatically slowed. Cattle consuming nitrate-dense plants continue to convert
nitrate to nitrite, butthe nitrite to ammonia conversion
cannot always keep up. Nitrite accumulates in the bloodstream where it binds to hemoglobin, reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, causing asphyxiation
and death.Level of toxicity will depend on the amount of
nitrate in the feed, how fast it is consumed, and amount
of nitrate from other sources i.e. water.
If the forage is yet to be cut, first assess the damage
on the plant and take the duration and temperature
into consideration. In general, as leaf survival rate goes
up, the wait period to cut forages goes down; more viable leaves means the plant can better utilize nitrate in
a timely manner. However, waiting to cut forages may
result in a reduction in forage quality. Since nitrate levels
cannot be determined immediately in the field, the focus
should be to put up quality feed while, recognizing that
nitrates may be present, and forages should be tested.
Common crops that have the potential to accumulate
nitrates include Oats, Canola, Barley, Wheat, Rye, Sugar
beets, Flax, Sorghum, Pearl and German millet, Corn,
and Sudangrass. Common weeds that have the potential
to accumulate nitrates include Pigweed, Bull thistle, Fire
weed, Lambs quarters, Russian thistle, White ragweed,
Wild sunflower, Canada thistle, Kochia, Mustards, Millet, and Smartweed. Note different plant species have
different tolerances for frost. Stored feeds can also have
high nitrate levels and should be tested as such. Consult
with a nutritionist before altering your feeding regime or
when considering feeding high-nitrate feeds.
Observation is the first step in prevention, diagnosis,
and treatment of nitrate poisoning. When high nitrates
are suspected, livestock should be removed from the
contaminated feed and provided a high energy feed such
as barley. A veterinarian should be called to confirm a
diagnosis and treat affected animals. Be aware of nitrate
risk in your forage and water sources and test accordingly. For more information on this, or other livestock related topics, contact Alicia Sopatyk at 306-878-8847 or call
the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377, or

and Nitrate Toxicity Fact Sheet.
nies don’t improve service
in some parts, said grain
will continue to sit there.
Frustration is certainly
building in North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Minnesota (tell us about it eh!)
That being said, the
rains that fell in the northern U.S. states and here in
the Canadian Prairies isn’t
helping much as the cereals and pulses that are trying to finish out and farmers are trying to get into
the fields to cut down those
crops that are ready. Early
indications are that green
lentil prices and pea prices
could see a climb over the
next couple weeks but red
lentils won’t match the
move and if you have the
quality that’s been sought
for wheat, you will likely
be able to earn a premium.
Already, reports are growing of disease issues across
the earliest harvested winter and spring wheat crops,
suggesting that knowing
what quality you have this
year will be important
(one of the reasons that
FarmLead partnered with
S.G.S. so you could order
grain tests from directly
from the FarmLead.com
website!). The numbers
will be critical this year, in
terms of potentially getting a bounce in market
prices and also getting the
best price for your grain if
you’re looking to sell some.

Fiery fall colour for
the Prairie garden
-Erl SvendsenWhen people say they
want to incorporate ‘fall
colour’ in their landscape, I’m convinced
what they really mean is
they want to replicate in
their backyard the blaze
of fiery colour that engulfs Eastern Canada in
September and October.
The truth is, we can’t
deliver that on the Prairies. Here, fall colours
are subtler – a blend of
orange and yellow with a
few hints of red and burgundy for contrast – more
like the colour of embers
rather than a full-blown
conf lagration. Fortunately, there are a few options
we can use to introduce
punches of bright red to
an otherwise near-uniform yellow to light orange fall tapestry.
The Amur maple (Acer
ginnala) and it’s close
relative, the Tatarian maple (A. tataricum), have
yellow-orange to light red
leaves in the fall depending on the selection or
seed-source.
However,
there are three recent introductions that are real
standouts: ‘Embers’ and
‘Flame’ Amur maple and
‘Hot Wings’ Tatarian maple. The three are similar
having small, dark green,
three lobed leaves; can be
single to multi-stemmed
trees; grow best in part
shade to full sun; prefer
even moisture (but are
somewhat drought tolerant once established);
typically form a roundish canopy about 15 to 20
feet wide; and have a lifeexpectancy of about 60
years.An excellent choice
for the city yard or as an
accent tree in rural landscapes.
One featurethese threehave in common is that
their numerous, doublewinged samaras (i.e.
seeds) turn bright red in
August, adding an early
splash of unexpected colour [note: their unimproved ‘wild’ kin are at
best merely red tinged].
The encore, the real
show-stopper, is in midto late-September when
their dark green leaves
reliably catch fire sporting shades of red as they
respond to shorter days
and cold, near-freezing
evenings.
The differences are few.
‘Embers’ is the shortest
of the three, maxing out
at 15 feet at maturity.
Its reliable fall display
of red, scarlet and burgundy leaves is preceded
by scarlet seeds. ‘Flame’,
slightly taller at 20 feet,
has dark pink (watermelon) seeds followed by
blazing red and scarlet
leaves. ‘Hot Wings’ is the
tallest, reaching 25 feet.
As might be expected
from its name, the masses of seeds are a uniform
bright cherry red. And
compared to the other
two, ‘Hot Wings’ is more
drought tolerant and performs better in alkaline
soil.
For full disclosure and
before I’m accused of being a climate-zone denier
[again], the three cultivars are rated for USDA
hardiness zone 3a. This
means they have been reported to survive in areas
with an average minimum
extreme winter temperature of -40 to -37.2 C.
Sounds like a bad winter’s
day in Saskatchewan. But
rarely have I experienced
worse in my 20+ years
on the Prairies [incidentally, most of Saskatchewan south of the boreal
forest is in USDA zone
3a or warmer; Saskatoon
is in USDA zone 3b]. As
further proof that I’m
not blowing smoke, ‘Hot
Wings’ has just passed
through a Prairie regional hardiness trial* with
f lying colours (*Prairie
TRUST - Testing of Rural
and Urban Shade Trees –
managed by the Western
Nursery Growers Group;
w w w. p r a i r i e t r e e s . c a) .
If you want to see specimens of ‘Hot Wing’ take a
stroll along the new section of Innovation Boulevard connecting the University of Saskatchewan
campus and Innovation
Placejust north of the Canadian Light Source.
Where the garden season is as short as it is here
on the Prairies, just add
some fire to heat up the
fall display.

If you don’t think a Ryder

was the Facebook photo of
Greg “Tubby” Rogers with

to 8-1/2. But what makes
it really huge is that this
team of eight golfers were
completely shellacked last
year. It was 15-5, and Rogers sucked up the shame
and presented the trophy
to the victorious captain,
Tyler Fisher.
With the tables turned
this year, and Fisher about
to present the cup to the
winning side, Rogers made
a magnanimous gesture –
he called up the four players who had never before
been on the winning side
to be with him when the
trophy was passed on by
last year’s winners.
These four were chomping at the bit all afternoon
Sunday to crack open the
champagne. With a lead
of 7-1/2 to 4-1/2 heading
into the eight head-tohead matches, Team Tubby
needed just three points
out of the eight to claim
victory. Ryan Willick was
the first to win a point,
needing just ten holes to
defeat his opponent. Willick spent the rest of the
day building his own excitement, encouraging his
teammates locked in combat, and chilling the champagne for the anticipated
celebration.
That celebration was unleashed when the team’s
senior citizen, Brad Brataschuk, won his match
for the team’s third point,
which gave them the guaranteed win regardless of
the outcome of the two remaining matches. Following an exuberant celebra-

tion near the 18th green,
the entire field raced back
to find the two remaining
matches just off the 17th
teebox. Both those matches were conceded at that
point, and it was all over
except for the trophy presentation and the kibitzing
and accompanying trash
talking.
This is the fourth year
of the local Ryder Cup,
and the team personnel
will remain the same for
next year. The four firsttime winners were Ryan
Willick, Dallas Schira,
Sheridan Lehouillier, and
Dustin Smolinski. In addition to Rogers, the three
who have won before were
Brad Brastaschuk, Don
Turgeon and Lanny Fisher.
Team Fisher consisted of
captain Tyler Fisher, Lloyd
Fisher, Kyle Brataschuk,
B.J. Brataschuk, Tyson
Turgeon, Todd Turgeon,
Ryan Turgeon and Jeff Hujber.
Papa Rene’s Pizzeria
and Marion’s Burger Bar
provided evening meals
for the golfers, while the
trio of Helene Fisher, Tera
Fisher and Damiane Turgeon provided lunches.
“Corporate sponsors” were
Henry’s Transport and
Martodam Motors.
The trophy presentation
may have taken just a few
moments, but the bragging and trash-talking will
continue for a long time.
Until next September,
anyway, when Team Tubby
attempts to successfully
defend their newly-won
crown. The selfie at the
bridge is just the start of
Ryder Cup 2015.
Dallas Schira, Dustin Smolinski, Ryan Willick and Sheridan Lehouillier, all winners for the fi rst time,

Restoration of Museum Church
The restoration project of the former Bissell United Church
has begun. The church was moved onto a foundation at the
Spiritwood Museum in late July of 2013, and recently new
shingles were installed.
The church still needs new siding and shingles on the outside walls, and if that sounds odd, it’s because the church
will be restored to resemble its original condition. “Restoring to original condition” is a major requirement of the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation, which is providing up to
$12,000 of funding for the restoration project.
“We were very pleased to have been able to qualify for financial support from the Heritage Foundation,” said Geraldine
Lavoie, spokesperson for the Museum Committee.
The cost of reshingling the roof and the steeple is approximately $25,000. In all, including moving the church, the
Museum has invested close to $57,000 into its new acquisition, factoring in moving, foundation, roof and shingles.
“The exterior, we hope,” said Geraldine Lavoie, “will be next
year’s project, pending funding and donated labour.”
Parging of the foundation also needs to be done. The Committee would also like to make the church wheelchair accessible.
“The interior is very good,” said Lavoie. “We also will have a
representation of the other denominations there were in our
area if we have any artifacts from the churches.”
Following is a description of the origin of the church:
“Mildred was a thriving community in the 30’s. A list of
church members lists 65 members in ‘34. The need for a
church became vital, so two ladies undertook to write to the
diocese to request help. Torrence E Bissell was a successful
businessman in Ontario and an avid United Church man.
After his passing, his wife and daughter decided to make donations for building United churches in western Canada. In
1935. six churches were selected for consideration, providing they could meet the criteria, Mildred being one of these
places. These should be built on the following conditions--- The community should provide the lot, plus cash, material
and free labor to a total of $400.
-- The church should cost no more than $2000 with the
probable average of $1500.
-- That it should seat from 100 to 125
-- That there should be a Tablet in front of Mr. Bissell, engraved.
-- That the church have pews, and a basement for church

activities.
-- Churches to be built in the spring.
The church was built to specifications of an architectural
plan drawn up.
The church was officially opened in 1936, with Mrs. Bissell
and her daughter in attendance.
In 1965, due to poor membership and support, it was moved
to Spiritwood , where services were held until the church
closed its doors.”
The Museum acquired the church from the United Church of
Canada, acting on a request by the Partners in Faith to sell
the property to the Museum.
Partners in Faith is the joint Lutheran-United-Anglican congregations who now worship in the Christ Anglican Church.
They found themselves with one building more than they
needed, and looked to sell it, when giving it to the Museum
was suggested. The United Church of Canada was the actual owners of the building, but when requested by the local
congregation, they were willing to have it turned over to the
Museum for the price of $1.00.
“We would accept any help from anyone who would like to
see this project completed,” Lavoie added.

much of what we can take for granted
in our lives is powered through the electricity wires of our communities.
Indeed, there is a lot on the line when
it comes to delivering electricity.
Your local electrical utility is most

it, is at the center of Ontario’s power

It takes power from the high voltage transmission lines that crisscross
Buying local
Technology has completely transformed
our shopping habits. It is now possible to buy
everything we need with the simple click of
a mouse. The value of online purchases by
Canadians reached $18.9 billion in 2012, an
increase of 24% compared with 2010, according to Statistics Canada. However, our
choices as consumers have a major impact
on our daily lives.
“It’s important to remind consumers that
buying locally contributes to the vitality of
our neighbourhoods, the prosperity of their
merchants and the sustainability of communities,” explained François Ramsay, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs for
Yellow Pages, a Canadian digital marketing
and media solutions company that provides
marketing solutions to small businesses.
Consumer dollars can have a big impact
locally, and have positive side benefits.
Small businesses create jobs, reinvest in the
community and help keep decision-making
power local. All of this contributes to the vitality of healthy and prosperous neighbourhoods.
Various communities and business associations have undertaken public awareness
campaigns to underscore the importance
of buying local. Many are limited to specific regions, but some movements are gaining ground, like Shop The Neighbourhood,
which will be held nation-wide this year
and encourages people to make at least one
purchase at a small business on November
29, 2014. To find out how to participate as a

Relieve joint pain
Arthritis can strike anyone at anytime, regardless
of age or physical condition,
often with devastating and
debilitating effects. According to The Arthritis Society,
by 2036 the expected number of Canadian adults living with this affliction will
increase from 4.6 to 7.5 million. If you live with arthritis-induced joint pain, there
are simple ways to help alleviate discomfort and prevent further pain or even
injury, as follows:
Exercise
While pain and stiffness may discourage you
from being active, exercise
can help reduce pain and
improve overall strength.
Making sure you chose the
appropriate form of exercise is important to preventing further pain or
damage; you want to build
muscle but avoid overextension that may cause further
damage. Consider aerobic
and strengthening exercises such as swimming, biking and weight training. If
you’re sitting at your desk
or watching TV, stretch periodically and shift your
position so that you don’t
become stiff.
Medication
Mild and occasional pain
goes hand-in-hand with arthritis and can sometimes
be alleviated with a hot or
cold compress and some
rest. However, more consistent pain and stiffness may
require additional treatment such as an over-thecounter pain reliever like
Aleve, which offers up to 12
hours of relief with just one
pill.
Emotional Awareness
Chronic discomfort as a
result of muscle and joint
pain can have a serious impact on your mood. Unable
to progress through your
day as you’re used to, the
emotional side effects can
be debilitating. If you find
yourself developing a negative attitude, consider a
lifestyle change or therapy
to keep your outlook positive. A combination of be-
havioural and talk therapy
can help you overcome selfdestructive feelings such
as frustration and anger. A
significant lifestyle change
such as quitting smoking or
losing weight can also help
to alleviate pain associated
with arthritis.

SaskPower reaches agreement with Sensus
SaskPower has reached

to recover the $47 million
cost associated with the removal of smart meters.
SaskPower will receive
a $24 million cash refund
from Sensus for all of the
meters SaskPower had purchased – both those that
were already installed and
are now being removed and
those that had not yet been
installed.
SaskPower will receive
an additional $18 million
credit from Sensus for future metering products.
Sensus will invest $5 mil-
lion towards research and
development of a next generation meter that meets
SaskPower’s specific needs.
The new meter will meet
Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) standards and pass
safety verification by an
independent third party to
ensure the meters function
safely in Saskatchewan.
“We are committed to
developing a smart grid
that will serve the unique
needs to our province and
support our unprecedented
economic growth,” SaskPower President and CEO
Robert Watson said. “A
smart grid will bring significant benefits to our
customers, including faster
restoration of service following an outage, reduced
carbon emissions and more
timely and accurate billing.”
SaskPower is continuing
to remove the smart meters
that have already been installed and expects to have
all of the smart meters removed by the end of this
year. There will be no im-

Simple steps can help you
prevent colds or flu, or lessen
the severity if they do come
about, including:
Wash up: Since germs are
commonly spread through
handshakes, wash your hands
regularly with soap and water,
or use an alcohol-based hand
sanitizer if necessary.
Boost your immune system:
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
by eating well and getting

Millennial decorating boasts no limits, no rules
The rise of millenials may be the reason why times are changing so rapidly.
Standing strong at about 7.2 million in Canada alone, millennials (who were born between 1979 and 1993) are making their
mark on the world at an unprecedented rate. To determine how
interior design is currently affected by this large cohort, Hunter
Douglas, a leading name in Canadian window treatments, got
the scoop from top millennial designers:
Evolving Design Visions
Millennials are causing a shift in design because today, anything goes. “We are willing to take more risks and not really follow a certain set of design rules,” says Alykhan Velji of Alykhan
Velji Design in Calgary. We are making our own rules of design
and incorporating a lot of different styles to make spaces more
dynamic.” A new attitude has been set: Why play by the rules?
Millennial designers embrace finding unique ways to tastefully mix the old and the new along with varying periods and
styles when creating interiors. The blending of traditional and
modern speaks to this generation’s shift towards eclecticism. It’s
become all about individual expression for designers and their
clients alike.
To meet this design need, manufacturers are expanding horizons with additional options and distinctive offerings. “What
I appreciate about Hunter Douglas designs is the wide range of
patterns, textures and colours for the window treatments so you
can coordinate it with the rest of your interiors,” says Velji.
Are timeless, classic products gone? No, but they are being
introduced to a new generation with all the elements younger
designers and their clients are seeking.
Take Silhouette window shadings from Hunter Douglas, for
example. This combination of translucent sheers and adjustable
soft fabric vanes has been re-imagined for today’s interiors and
flexible lifestyles. Available in almost 300 fabric and colour combinations, spanning metallic-accented vanes to refined linen
looks, they can easily complement virtually any decor.
Don’t Be a Square
In order to create signature looks and make a name for themselves, millennial designers are thinking outside the box. “I think
millennials are design-savvy and have a sense of what they like
and don’t like, and value a home that speaks to them uniquely,”
says designer Karla Amadatsu of Vancouver, who is known for
her “New Traditional” style. “I think it’s less about trends and
more about design that feels authentic to them.” Amadatsu has
an appreciation for traditional design and classic details, but she
takes a fresh approach and enjoys cleaner lines.
There’s no longer just one way to execute a design scheme and
see it successfully come to fruition. Millennials are known for
their entrepreneurial spirit and the ways they’ve strayed from
the precedents set by previous generations.
“I would say millennial clients are typically interested in a
more modern aesthetic – floating vanities, vessel sinks, streamlined kitchens – but definitely like to incorporate decorative
trends such as wallpaper, organic accessories and bold accent
colours,” says Emma Comesotti of Philosophy Design. And millennials like white, she says, lots of white for walls, kitchens and
marble.
Based in Vancouver, Comesotti was born in London and
raised on both the East and West Coasts of Canada and credits
her diverse upbringing with giving her an early appreciation of
design and architecture from past and present.
“The advantage I have being a millennial designer,” she continues, “is that I instinctively address the demands placed on us
today – such as small-space living, open-concept living, getting
the look for less and green design.”
Digital Design Revolution
Jenny Wolf of Jenny Wolf Interiors in New York City says she
cannot imagine doing this job without the Internet as a resource.
“It allows designers and clients to see so much more than ever
before. Comesotti adds, “Sites such as Pinterest and Houzz make
it easy for clients to dream up a beautiful environment and it’s
my job to bring it to life.”
In addition, the visualization component of many technologies allows designers and clients to see how their project is going
to turn out before it is completed, ensuring a flawless finish. This
applies to window treatments too.
The iMagine Design Center (at hunterdouglas.ca) allows consumers and design professionals alike to preview how different
styles will look on their windows by uploading personal photos.
It makes it easy to visualize how different window fashion designs will impact the overall décor.
And, technology is of course becoming ubiquitous in every
home, concludes Karla Amadatsu. “Builders and designers are
using the latest technological advances and are always looking at
ways to enhance the experience of the homeowner.”

Show your students how to budget
Budgeting is nobody’s favorite task. It takes time and
energy and there’s no secret we would all prefer to be
doing something else with our time. And yet, without a
budget, many students will be looking at a shortfall in
their bank accounts as soon as Thanksgiving.
On the bright side however, more than one-third (41%)
of students say they wish they’d known more about budgeting for their post-secondary school life, a finding in
the latest Student Finances Poll by the Royal Bank of
Canada. This opens the door for welcomed guidance.
Melissa Jarman, the director of student banking at
RBC, has a few tips to make your budgeting experience
pain-free and your money last longer:
Online budget, in-line spending: By using an online
budget tool, like RBC’s myFinanceTracker, your spending is tracked automatically to ensure that you’re on
track at all times – and you can easily access it from your
mobile phone or tablet.
Be on the lookout for free money: Check online to see if
you qualify for any scholarships, bursaries, or grants. A
bit of research could save you hundreds of dollars.
Hard costs vs. frills and fun: Tuition, textbooks, rent
– all hard costs. These won’t change, and are easy to
tackle.
It’s the discretionary costs that add up – those new
jeans, that night out at the pub, the late-night pizza. Be
sure to keep on top of your budget, even if you splurge a
little bit just once and a while.
Full details about student banking products can be
found at www.rbc.com/studentsolution, on Twitter at
#RBCStudent Advice, or at any local branch.
