Threshermen’s Club celebrates 60 yearsBy Thom BarkerStaff Writer

For 60 years, the Yorkton Threshermen’s Club has been thrilling audiences with reenact-ments of the pioneer skills, methods and tech-niques that built this province.

The 60th Thresh-ermen’s Show and Seniors’ Festival takes

place this Saturday and Sunday at the Western Development Museum.

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

Of course, it wasn’t just farming that made

a pioneer family success-ful. In the early days, very few things were store bought.

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

The York Colony Quilters Guild will also be on hand to demon-strate that essential skill of Saskatchewan herit-age.

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

Other highlights of

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

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

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

fashioned games, horse-drawn wagon rides and the popular Pedal Tractor Pull.

And, of course, the bandstand will be hop-ping all day both days, including the traditional hymn sing and pancake breakfast Sunday mor-ning.

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

A Yorkton bodybuilder has hit the national stage. Denise Kominetsky competed in Halifax in the figures compe-tition, in doing so she has achieved her main goal of get-ting on the national stage.

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

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

She says that she began bodybuilding for health rea-sons. Kominetsky has crohns/colitis, and says in 2011 she was at a low point health-wise, but was inspired by people who she knew who were competing, and she was inspired to try it for herself. Her first competition she placed third, and says that hooked her in for good.

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

This is a change for

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

“I was never a sporty per-son in school, I was always the artsy, crafty choir person. I tried sports but the basket-ball kept getting away from me... But after 2011, I just love the gym. I love coming in and lifting and being able to look at the guy next to me and go ‘I can do that.’”

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

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

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

“You basically prep for 16 to 20 weeks for one day... Even the professionals who it’s their job will not look like they do on stage all the time. You can’t, you just can’t.”

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

order to get results. She says that it’s more than just com-ing to the gym, but it’s a com-

mitment that requires a lot of work and sacrifice.

“Your social life is basically

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

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

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

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

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

Her next goal is to get an overall figure win for a per-manent national bid, and she says that it’s actually rare for someone in the tall

category to get an overall fig-ure win. S

he says she doesn’t know exactly why that is, but she wants to win the category and says she’s going to keep going until she gets it.

Yorkton bodybuilder gets on national stage

DENISE KOMINETSKY is a Yorkton body builder who recently com-peted on the national stage in Halifax. She says that her goal now is to get a lifetime bid to nationals, training to get a figure overall win.

It’s a hidden epidem-ic, with most people affected being com-pletely unaware that they have the disease at all. The Yorkton Film Festival and the Sunrise Health Region have partnered to help people understand Hepatitis C and get diagnosed, so they can get treatment as soon as possible. They screened the film Deal With It: Untold Stories of HIV in Canada on World Hepatitis Day, which tells stories of people who were diag-nosed with HIV throughout the coun-try.

Deanna Bartok, HIV Strategy Coordinator

with the Sunrise Health Region, says there are an estimated 3-500,000 individuals living with Hepatitis C in the country, but many of them don’t realize they have it. The Saskatchewan rates make up a signifi-cant portion of that number, as this prov-ince has a rate that is 1.5 times higher than the national rate.

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

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

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

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

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

“People can have it for a very, very long time and not even know they are infected at all. It’s not until 15-30 years later that they might start to get symptoms... The only

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

Bartok also says one of the goals is to reduce the stigma surrounding the disease. She emphasizes that it is something that can be contracted by anyone, no matter their back-ground.

“Often people think it’s ‘those’ people, who inject substances, but really it isn’t about ‘those’ people, anyone can be at risk and any-one can be infected and not even realize it. There’s still some of that stigma and dis-crimination, but hope-fully with more educa-tion and awareness that will change.”

If people do get test-

ed, they have a greater chance of having treat-ment work and avoid some of the serious con-sequences of the dis-ease, which include liver cancer and cirrho-sis of the liver.

“It’s certainly a real-

ity check for the com-munity, but with this film there is hope,because there is a treat-ment and it can be cured, and a lot of indi-viduals don’t realize that.”

Hepatitis C: People need to Deal With It

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

CONSTRUCTION – Highway 10, between Highway 9 and Mayhew, is now under construction. The project is expected to last two months, and will see road reconstruction, an upsized water line, pathways and street lights. Combined with construction on Mayhew the total cost of the project is expected to be $3.5 million.


I am rarely compelled to write a tribute to any one person, but sometimes you have to recognize someone who has gone, to honor their life, or even just a portion of their life, now that it has ended. With the death of Sandra MacColl, I feel the need to recognize someone who has been an enthusias-tic booster for the local arts community, and has made a real difference for local artists through-out the area.

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

I showed in that gallery myself at the begin-

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

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

I knew her professionally, rather than person-ally, so I don’t know much about her family, her past, her personal life, or anything like that. I am aware she was a teacher, and given her entire personality she was probably made for that job. Otherwise, all I know is her relationship to art, and her excitement about bringing it to everyone around her. That’s enough to know that her impact outside of the arts community was a big one, even if I didn’t ever get to experience it.

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

Countries with higher levels of economic free-dom have happier populations, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

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

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

The cornerstones of economic freedom are per-sonal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to com-pete, and security of private property. Economic freedom is measured in five different areas: (1) size of government, (2) legal structure and secur-ity of property rights, (3) access to sound money, (4) freedom to trade internationally, and (5) regu-lation of credit, labour, and business.

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

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

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

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

This past week something was taking place in our city which was below the radar for most, yet it was an example of how communi-cation is an important part of politics.

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

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

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

Of course that should be obvious.Business people are major taxpayers in a

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

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

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

the community vibrant.That does not mean the business sector

should have complete say in what happens at City Hall, but their viewpoint should at least be part of the process when developing policy.

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

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

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

Things I do with words...

To the Editor:

The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation has come forward to say the provincial budget is a deficit budget.

Bond-rating agency Standard and Poor’s also calls the Sask. Party’s 2015-16 budget a defi-cit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To the Editor:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Liberal government will give a tax cut to the middle class and provide middle class families with more sup-port. Our plan will create economic growth and put more money in the pockets of those who need it most. That’s real change.

S a s k a t c h e w a n is marking World Hepatitis Day, July 28, joining efforts to raise awareness of the disease and sup-port people living with hepatitis.

“Our government continues to support residents in access-ing health services and new, effective treatment options,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Beginning August 1, the province will begin providing cover-age for Holkira Pak, a new lifesaving drug

for patients with hepa-titis C who meet cer-tain medical criteria.”

Holkira Pak is the third new hepatitis C drug to be listed on the Saskatchewan Formulary in addi-tion to Harvoni and Sovaldi, listed earlier this year. These new drug therapies offer effective, simple and fast treatment for chronic hepatitis C, and can cure patients in as little as eight to twelve weeks. Over the next three years, Saskatchewan expects to provide coverage for about 1,100 patients who will meet the

Exception Drug Status criteria for these drugs.

“In addition to pro-viding drug therapies, our province continues efforts to enhance pre-vention, encourage testing, and provide patient centred-ser-vices,” Duncan said. “We’re committed to working closely with our partners and I want to thank them all for their involve-ment and support.”

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

A, B and C. Hepatitis B or C can cause ser-ious, long-term compli-cations such as severe, permanent liver dam-age, liver failure and liver cancer.

Saskatchewan supporting patients with hepatitis with new drug

Recognizing energy importanceLast week, Canada’s

premiers concluded their most recent meet-ings with the release of Canada’s Energy Strategy, a docu-ment that “charts a path for shaping the sustainable develop-ment of Canada’s energy future.” The plan includes such undefined recommen-dations as to “promote energy efficiency and conservations,” “tran-sition to a lower car-bon economy,” “facili-tate the development of renewable, green and/or cleaner energy sources,” and “promote market diversification” for Canada’s energy resources, among others.

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

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

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

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

Pipelines are another area that come in for the “we love you, we love you not” treat-ment. Pipelines, or rather “energy infra-structure,” did get some positive attention in the national energy strategy, with the commitment of ensur-ing access to market for Canadian energy

products (although it appears that this men-tion had to be hard fought for). But while often trumpeting the benefits of pipe-lines, provinces have been slow to actually approve the pipeline infrastructure des-perately needed to ensure that Canadian energy makes its way to refineries. From the West Coast to the East Coast, proposed pipe-line projects continue to languish, contribut-ing to increases in the amount of oil trans-ported by rail.

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

Another good example of contra-dictory energy policy is playing out in Alberta. There, Alberta’s new premier gave a verit-able barn-burner of a speech to oilsands industry executives

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

The premiers’ report recognizes the critic-al contributions that energy production makes to Canada’s eco-nomic health, and that demand for energy will only increase in the future.

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

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

Staying connected is now easier than ever!

On July 10, I tele-phoned my old neigh-bor, Ed, in Saskatchewan. He was waiting to get our new B.C. telephone number, as he knew our tele-phone was going into service that day.

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

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

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

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

At that time, a hun-dred forest fires were burn ing in Saskatchewan. I told him smoke from forest fires was on the air here, and that we had 200 forest fires at that time in BC. Ed was sure that they could only be half as serious as the fires in SK.

Ed and I have always had differing opinions on almost everything. Rather than disagree on which province had the most serious forest fires, I told Ed that the air quality warnings issued because of smoke in the air had me humming an old

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

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

and that his people were slaves in Egypt. He had fled from Egypt because he had killed an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew slave. When he fled Egypt, he lived in Midian as a shep-herd and ignored the

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

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

Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land.

The Pharaoh had no fear or respect for the Hebrew slaves or theirGod.

The Hebrew people had been slaves in Egypt for so many gen-erations, that they had largely forgotten theirGod. God had no diffi-culty overcoming the impossible situations facing Moses. There is no smoke in God’s eyes, even though his heartis on fire for his people.He still leads sinners tothe promised land of his freeing forgiveness.

Neighborly Advice According to Edby Raymond Maher

TRUCK GIVEAWAY – Maple Farm Equipment ramped up their harvest promotion for this year, giving away a 2015 Ram 1500 to one lucky farmer who purchased qualifying equipment at one of the dealerships during the promotion. Den Luc Farms from Zenon Park won of the vehicle. Kevin Hitchings, General Manager, center, says that the farmers appreciate them giving something back through the promotion. Another way they give back is by hosting local 4H clubs to do barbecues through the dealership through the event, Hitchings says, giving them the food and all pro-ceeds. Also pictured are Craig Mehling, sales manager (left) and Mandy Price, chartered accountant with Collins Barrow (right) who made the draw itself.

The benefits of routine exercise are plenty. Daily exercise can improve mood, help reduce stress and make it easier for men and women to main-tain healthy weights.

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

OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is

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

Back pain

People experiencing back pain may feel that inactivity is the best approach to overcom-ing it. But prolonged inactivity may only exacerbate back pain. Men and women deal-ing with back pain should always con-sult a physician for the best approach to alleviating their pain. Don’t be surprised if, during such consulta-tions, your physician prescribes certain back exercises. According to www.spine-health.com, a Web-based resource for back and neck pain sufferers developed by a multi-specialty group of medical profession-als, certain back exer-cises can distribute nutrients into the disc space and soft tissues in the back to keep the discs, muscles, ligaments, and joints healthy.

Heart diseaseAccording to the

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

ing the heart, lower-ing blood pressure and helping the heart func-tion more efficiently. Even moderate physi-cal activity can have a profound impact on heart health.

Type 2 diabetesA joint study from

the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Diabetes Association found that participation in regular physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, a potentially deadly condition, the prevalence of which has increased considerably over the last several decades. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people who already have type 2 diabetes check their blood glu-cose levels before and after exercise to see how their bodies react to different activities. Understanding such reactions can help peo-ple with type 2 diabe-tes prevent their blood glucose levels from get-ting too high or too low.

Exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle. But while regular exercise can instantly improve your quality of life, it also can reduce your risk for a host of potentially deadly ail-ments.

Exercise and ailments: How exercise can help prevent disease


Years ago when I lived in Victoria and manned a small office, a salesman wandered in and tried to sell me his particular photocopier. He noted my current machine was Japanese but his was Canadian. So obviously, I should support Canadian jobs and lease his made-in-Canada brand instead.

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

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

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

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

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

ation of “good jobs for workers here.”

In Alberta, Premier Rachel Notley cam-paigned in April on a pledge to have more refineries built in the province. Her justifica-tion: Alberta deserves the refining jobs, not Texas.

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

Huckabee and Ratzenberger engaged in a mutual admira-tion two-person conven-tion on the supposed benefits of protectionist Buy America policies. Their claims included how buying “overseas” cost Americans jobs and taxes, and was hol-lowing out “America’s middle class.”

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

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

That’s called a “com-parative advantage.”

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

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

Consider this simple example. Imagine you have $50,000 in dispos-able income to spend but government poli-cies restrict competi-tion where you live. The result is automobiles each priced at $50,000. Buy one of those and you have nothing left to spend on anything else.

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

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

The provincial pol-iticians, protection-ist American pundits,

actors and photocopier salesman are wrong. Free trade creates many

more jobs than it ever kills.

SUMMER FUN – The Yorkton Public Library is the place to be for kids this summer, with a full slate of programming running through the summer months. That includes activity days for kids, ages 10-12 on Mondays, ages 6-9 on Tuesdays, movie days on Wednesdays at 2 with popcorn and juice, StoryCraft for ages 3-7 on Thursdays and Game Day on Fridays. Special coming events in August are a teen movie day and make your own sundae day, as well as a Princess Tea Party for younger kids. Pictured above, Joseph Van der Loo builds a Lego robot as part of Lego Day at the library.

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

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

standing timber in bea-ver swamps and other wetlands all attract the Red-headed Woodpecker. This bird is one of only four North American woodpeckers known to store food and is the only one known to cover its stored food with wood or bark.

This woodpecker hides insects in cracks in wood, under bark, in fence posts, and under roof shingles. Grasshoppers are regu-larly stored alive, but wedged into crevices so tightly that they can-not escape. The Red-

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

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

Strawberries!There is no com-

parison between the taste of fresh straw-berries from your own garden and those that have earned air miles en route from California or Mexico. Especially now as the local season started a few weeks ago and runs until September. And growing your own is not difficult.

Begin with the site – full sun with shel-ter from the wind. Avoid low-lying areas that are suscept-ible to frost damage. Strawberries do best in a well-drained soil that has been culti-vated to 10-12 inches and then generously amended with organic matter such as com-post or well rotted manure.

Plant them in mid-spring, being careful not to allow the young plants (especially their roots) to dry out. Place them 12 inches apart within the row with the rows 3 ft. apart. The mid-point of the crown should be level with the soil surface. Do not cover the crown with soil. Gentry firm the soil around the roots and water thoroughly to the depth of the root system and beyond.

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

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

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

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

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

Winter protec-tion is needed where snow protection is not dependable. Cover the

plants with 10-15 cm of weed-free straw once temperatures drop to -5°C for sev-eral nights running and before -7°C hits. Remove mulch in early spring once dan-ger of frost is passed or the plants begin to actively grow.

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

June-bearing var-ieties produce a single

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

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

Day-neutral cul-tivars do not depend on day length to pro-duce flower buds;

therefore, they pro-duce fruit throughout the growing season. Production is gener-ally heaviest June and then in August and September. Their total production is greater than the other two types. And they generally produce a good crop their first year.

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

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

• Chinch bugs: Chinch bugs like to feast on grass that is significantly exposed to sunlight. Though tiny chinch bugs are visible to the naked eye, homeowners may find they need to get especially close to the ground to see them. Chinch bugs may be living in thatch, so dethatching your lawn with a rake can make it easier to detect their presence. As chinch

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

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

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

watered, as these bur-rowing mammals like to dig into the soil so they can fill up on grubs, insects and worms that live below the surface of a lawn. Overwatered lawns typically have moist soil, which makes it easier for moles to dig. The presence of moles is pretty easy to detect, as they typically leave mounds of soil in their wake. Those mounds are located where

moles have dug into the ground looking for food.

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

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

• Voles: Voles are small rodents that chew their way through the grass, leaving unsightly trails of damage in their wake. Homeowners who suspect their lawn has been victimized by voles can usually tell because the voles will leave noticeable path-

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

COMMITTED TO THE FARMING COMMUNITY SINCE 1974

Your Insurance Broker Understands

Over the coming months we will be featuring organ-izations and associations in North America that helps and works with farmers. This week, we sat down with the Barley Council of Canada.

What is Barley Council of Canada (BCC) and what is the role BCC plays in Canadian Ag? The Barley Council of Canada’s role is to be the leader and coordin-ator for the barley indus-try – coordinating all links in the value chain, nation-al approach. The BCC is designed to be the voice for barley farmers and barley industry members. Our leadership team is com-prised of industry repre-sentatives and barley farm-ers, and we focus on these five main priorities:

innovation and researchpromoting best crop pro-

duction servicessupporting market

developmentincreasing market accessimproving understand-

ing and communications within the barley value chain

Each sector of the bar-ley value chain—producers, processors, feeders, malt companies or research-ers—has its own ideas about the barley industry and how to make it strong. It is this combination of the diverse perspectives within the industry that gives Canadian barley the exclusive representation it deserves.

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

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

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

Farmers are encouraged to participate by volunteer-ing their

time to their provin-

cial commissions (Alberta Barley, B.C. Grain Producers Association, Sask Barley, Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, Atlantic Grains Council, Fédération des pro-ducers de cultures commer-ciales du Quebec) as a direc-tor or delegate—they can then provide a crucial voice at the national level. By par-ticipating in your provincial commissions you are provid-ing a voice to the BCC table. We need your voice at the provincial level in order to make change or progress at the national level.

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

to grow and market a prof-itable crop. They can go to BarleyCanada.com to gain information, they can also sign up for our newsletter by emailing Caitlan Carver at [email protected]

Do you have any edu-cation or public outreach initiatives? How can the community help? We act-ively give back to our com-munities and are involved in national campaigns that support agriculture across Canada. We believe that philanthropy builds sus-tainability in agriculture. Our team participates in multiple charitable events throughout the year. Our current project that we are supporting is Bees Matter. Let’s build the future for Canada’s agriculture com-

munity!What are you most excit-

ed about at the moment?We will soon be launching a cam-paign called, GrowBarley.This will be a site and cam-paign to raise awareness of successful agronomic prac-tices that will support farm-ers with their barley crops. We are currently gathering production and marketing information from across the country from all sectors and regions.

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

Getting To Know Barley Council CanadaTHE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 30, 2015 - A

The Nature Conser-vancy of Canada (NCC) is pleased to announce that the Royal Astro-nomical Society of Canada (RASC) has des-ignated the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area (OMB) ranch as a Nocturnal Preserve. The OMB ranch is owned and managed by NCC in Saskatchewan.

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

place for visitors to enjoy dark night skies and study astronomy. NCC is committed to maintain-ing minimal use of artifi-cial light and to monitor light pollution at OMB.

The RASC created its Nocturnal Preserve des-ignation to raise aware-ness about the health and environmental value of dark nights for both wildlife and humans.

A Nocturnal Preserve has minimal artificial light, non-lighted sig-nage, and structures that confine external illumination. As a Nocturnal Preserve,

OMB will offer visitors the opportunity to expe-rience the sights and sounds of a natural night.

The RASC’s Nocturnal Preserve designation, part of the Dark Sky Preserve Program, is the newest of three RASC designations that aim to promote the protection of quality night sky and minimize light pollution. The RASC also awards the Dark Sky Preserve and the Urban Star Park designations. NCC’s OMB Ranch is among the first in Canada to be designated a Nocturnal Preserve.

The NCC also man-ages a herd of genetical-ly-pure plains bison that live on the 13,135-acre (5,316-hectare) ranch, located near Claydon in southwestern Saskat-che wan.

QUOTES:“We are very proud to

have been awarded this designation,” says Mark Wartman, Regional Vice President for the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Saskatchewan Region. “The importance of pro-tecting dark night skies against light pollution is just beginning to be understood. In addition to land conservation,

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

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

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

ideal setting as aNocturnal Preserve.”

“The OMB ranch hasalways attracted natureand hiking enthusiasts,and those curious aboutthe genetically-pureplains bison managedhere by NCC,” saysNatalie Nikiforuk,Natural Area Managerfor southwesternSaskatchewan, NatureConservancy of Canada.“This designation addsanother dimension toranch visitors` experi-ences. We anticipate ahost of astronomers,novice and otherwise,will visit the ranch toview its rich night skies.”

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

A panel of three experts will judge bull calves within their breed, cul-minating in a grand finale featuring the champion of each breed vying for the President’s Classic title. The total payout for the event will exceed $7,500.

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

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

Agribition drew in over 800 visitors from over 70 countries last year. “These types of compe-titions are a catalyst in securing exports to new markets; they are widely regarded as an integral part of marketing beef cattle genetics for our pro-ducers,” says Lees.

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

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

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) is expanding the annual show’s programming to include a brand new Food Pavilion. This excit-ing new component is expected to attract new visitors and improve the overall shopping experi-ence shared by CWA’s already active 125,000 annual visitors.

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

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

The Food Pavilion is presented by The Mosaic

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

“Food security is at the heart of what we do. So, we are excited to be part of Agribition as the title sponsor of its new Food Pavilion,” said Sarah Fedorchuk, Senior Director of Public Affairs for The Mosaic Company. “This unique guest experi-ence will showcase the critical role that agricul-ture plays in the global food story as our indus-tries work together to help feed the world’s growing population.”

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

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

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

Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) today announced a $5 million dollar investment into three applied genomics research projects in len-til, wheat and soybean.

These projects were selected for funding under Genome Canada’s 2014 Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition Genomics and Feeding the Future.

“WGRF is excited about the impact these projects will have for producers,” said Dave Sefton, WGRF Board Chair.

“Support of genom-ics for crop research is important for the development of improved crop varieties. WGRF’s partnership with Genome Canada

and involvement in their rigorous review process has allowed producers to invest in these world class genomics research projects.

I would like to thank the Government of Canada and Genome Canada for their partner-ship and support of agri-culture crop research.”

“Genome Canada is delighted that WGRF came in as a front-end programmatic partner for this important fund-ing competition. Clearly, they recognize the con-siderable untapped potential that genomics has to offer in terms of enhancing crops that are staples of this nation’s economy as well as those that are emerging in importance for produ-cers and consumers.”

Lorne Hepworth, Chair of Genome Canada.

At $18 million of funding planned for 2015, WGRF is the lar-gest producer funder of crop research in Canada. “WGRF’s annu-al research funding has tripled in last five years,” said Garth Patterson, WGRF Executive Director.

“This $5 million dol-lar investment by pro-ducers into cutting-edge plant genomics research is a good partnership for WGRF. The WGRF Endowment Fund is used to fund crop research projects that benefit all producers and the projects announced today will help enhance the profitability and sus-tainability of producers in western Canada.”

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

Once consultations end, survey results and comments will be post-ed online in the fall of 2015. Names, addresses and all other identify-ing information will be removed before results are published. After the results have been ana-lyzed, decisions will be

made regarding next steps.

The survey can be completed online at www.Saskatchewan.ca/farmland. Paper copies are available at Ministry of Agriculture Regional Offices and can be requested by calling the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377. An education document accompan-ies the survey to give participants information regarding the existing legislation surrounding farmland ownership in the province.

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

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

Triple ThreatWhat could be better than col-

laborating on a feed barley trial with the most prestigious agricultural uni-versity in China? How about three trials?

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

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

A Kernel of an IdeaThe seeds of this project were first

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

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

Choosing China

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

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

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

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

Sharing the WealthIn true Canadian fashion, this

initiative isn’t just about how barley exporters can benefit, but how many others can profit in the process.

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

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

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

I am talking about The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations. These talks are rapidly run-ning to the finish line. Canada is at risk of being last in the race. Canadians cannot afford to let that hap-pen.

What is at stake? The twelve countries involved in this Asia-Pacific deal make up 40 percent of the world’s gross domestic product. Canada is a trading nation. We cannot afford to take a back seat in 40 percent of the world’s economic activi-ty.

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

issues. These range from the U.S. “buy America” programming, sugar, cars, clothing and of course agricul-ture.

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

There is much to gain. Incomes in the Asia-Pacific region are rapidly rising. Trade between Asian-Pacific countries is growing faster than any other region in the world. Countries in the TPP are not just importing more, they are import-ing higher quality. This is an ideal opportunity for Canadian farmers and the entire agricul-ture value chain. We

are very good at supply-ing growing economies with high quality food.

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

The status quo is simply not an option. Either Canada is part of the TPP agreement and is able to participate in the region’s growth or we are left on the side-lines while our competi-tors gain the benefits of better market access.

Canadian participa-tion should really be a no-brainer, but Canada will likely be asked to make decisions at an inconvenient time. Inconvenient because these decisions will need to be made before October 19th (election-day in Canada, for those who are not political junkies).

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

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

There are 26 projects on the farm, enough that not every trial could be brought up in depth at the field day. They planted every-thing from fava beans, peas, wheat, oats, flax, canary seed and cano-la. They also test a wide range of different things, whether that means fertility trials, fungicide trials or growth regulator trials. Hall says many of the trials are there involve changes farmers can implement right away on their own operation after they look at the research Parkland is doing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The plan for the 2016 growing season is not set, though they are looking ahead to the future and consid-ering possibilities rele-vant to the area.

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

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

Given that one of the main goals of the proj-ect is to stay relevantfor area farmers, Hall emphasizes that they want people to know what they’re doing and what the results of the trials are each year. Their work is cataloged on their website at www.ecrf.ca which alsoprovides information on other events hostedon the farm.

For many people, the only time they think about bees is when they get stung. But given that one third of the food we eat is linked to pollinators like honey bees, losing them would really sting.

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

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

“Awareness” is the Buzzword

As a founding mem-ber of the campaign, the Canola Council and its partners are focused on protecting honey bee health and raising aware-ness of the strong bond between beekeeping and primary agriculture.

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

At the same time, Bees Matter is encouraging farmers to take an active part in the process, teach-ing them how to minimize their impact on bees wher-ever possible.

Help Them Help YouIf you’ve ever done the

frantic search for a late night drive-thru to feed the munchies, you under-stand the stress that hun-ger pangs can induce. Now imagine spending eight hours a day doing that.

“For honey bees, a third of their life involves fly-ing to find pollen they can bring back to their hives,” said Sekulic. “By pollin-ating a diverse range of plants, they also contrib-ute to the success of our communities.”

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

“Supporting honey bee health means ensuring that hives are within fly-ing distance of a wide var-iety of flowers that bees can visit.”

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

Sekulic is thrilled with

the tremendous response to Buzzing Gardens.

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

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

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

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

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

And if you can’t get buzzed about that, some-thing’s wrong.

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS

Representatives from 14 countries attended the 48th International Grain Industry Program at Cigi (Canadian International Grains Institute) in Winnipeg, starting July 20.

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

The participants include senior repre-sentatives from trad-ing organizations, mills, and processing compan-ies from Bangladesh, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and United Kingdom. In addi-tion, representatives from Cereals Canada and the Canadian Grain Commission are attending. While at Cigi the group will partici-pate in classroom ses-sions and technical dem-onstrations on Canadian grains and pulses includ-ing an introduction to the Canadian industry, inspection and grading,

handling, transporta-tion, marketing, and technology.

“Each year the International Grain Industry Program pro-vides a unique opportun-ity to meet and inter-act with a number of senior representatives from companies from around the world that buy Canadian grain,” says Rick Morgan, Cigi Manager of Business Development, who is chairing the program. “Customers gain a bet-ter understanding of the Canadian grain industry which also serves to help maintain Canada’s com-petitiveness in the face of stiff competition in the marketplace. This ultim-ately benefits the entire value chain.”

The participants will learn about the process-es involved in milling, baking, Asian products, pasta, and analytical services through pres-entations, discussions, and hands-on demon-strations in Cigi’s pilot facilities. They will also have an opportun-ity to meet with senior industry representatives from grower organiza-tions, grain companies,

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

While in Winnipeg the participants will also tour a Manitoba grain farm, seed farm, pri-mary elevator, the CGC, and CMBTC facilities. Toward the end of the program, the group will travel to Vancouver BC where they will visit the CGC, a terminal elevator, and Port of Vancouver.

Cigi is an independ-ent not-for-profit market development institute created in 1972. More than 42,000 people representing grain, oil-seed, pulse and special crops industries from 115 countries have partici-pated in Cigi programs and seminars. Cigi’s mis-sion is to increase utiliza-tion of Canadian grain and field crops through superior knowledge, technical expertise, industry leadership and collaboration, innovative processing solutions and targeted training to cus-tomers around the world. Cigi is funded by farm-ers, the Government of Canada (AAFC) and industry partners.

Cigi hosts annual grain industry program for international customers

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

Rain showers have delayed haying in some areas. Hay quality is cur-rently rated as two per cent excellent, 52 per cent good, 38 per cent fair and eight per cent poor. Hay yields on dry land are well below the five year average (2010-2014). Average hay yields on dry land are estimated to be 0.8 ton per acre for alfalfa, 0.9 ton per acre for alfalfa/brome hay, 0.7 ton per acre for both other tame hay and wild hay, and 1.3 tons per acre for greenfeed. On irrigated land, average hay yields are estimated to be

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

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

Much of the province received rain last week that has helped alleviate mois-ture stress in some regions. Rainfall ranged from small amounts to several inches. Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved in many areas. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as two per cent surplus, 52 per cent adequate, 33 per cent short and 13 per cent very short.

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

Sixty-six per cent of fall cereals, 68 per cent of spring cereals, 64 per cent of oilseeds and 63 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of develop-ment for this time of year. Crops are ripening quick-ly, although the major-ity remain in poor-to-good condition. Lack of moisture and insects such as grass-hoppers and aphids have caused the most crop dam-age this week.

Farmers are busy cut-ting hay, controlling pests and readying harvest equip-ment.

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) recently announced the formation of the Advisory Group for the Supporting the Advancement of Women in Agriculture project. This project will examine and address critical barriers to advancement facing women in the industry. Based on these results, there will be a strategic program developed and implemented to support improved access to leader-ship opportunities and strengthened business success for women work-ing in agriculture.

As the project moves forward, the Advisory Group will provide feed-back around key lines of

enquiry to ensure mean-ingful outcomes for the agricultural community. This includes identifying subject matter experts to participate in the research, development and validation activities. Members will also assist in guiding the progress of the project for the next two years and as findings come in will provide feed-back on proposed research instruments, tool drafts, report drafts, and other project elements.

The Advisory Group is comprised of profes-sional and entrepreneur-ial women and men in the agriculture industry with an interest in advan-cing women in leader-ship roles. Members were drawn from senior man-

agement and executive positions in farm busi-nesses, agricultural asso-ciations and agribusiness. They provide a balance of representation from across Canada as well as a cross-section of produc-tion areas, business focus and industry associations. The members include:

Heather Broughton, Agriculture and Food Council of Alberta, Agri-Food Management Excellence Inc.

Chantelle Donahue, Vice-President Corporate Affairs, Cargill Limited

Dr. Annemieke Farenhorst, NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences, University of Manitoba

Susan Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald & Co, Canadian AgriWomen Network

Rebecca Hannam, Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program, Rural Ontario Institute,

Dr. Laura Halfyard, Sunrise and Connaigre Mussel Farms, Canadian Aquaculture Industry Association

Brenda Lammens, Agri-Food Management Institute, Canadian AgriWomen Network

Geneviève Lemonde, AGRIcarrières

Iris Meck, Iris Meck Communications

Debra Pretty-Straathof, Ontario Federation of Agriculture, World Farmers Organization (WFO) Standing Committee on

Women in AgricultureLis Robertson,

Canadian Association of Farm Advisors

Kim Shukla, Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance

There will be ways for others to get involved in the project as well. In the near future CAHRC will be announcing sub-groups focused on specific areas. There will also be social media groups through Linked-In and Facebook formed to allow for great-er connection and com-munication throughout the project.

For more informa-tion or to get involved with Supporting the Advancement of Women in Agriculture, please con-tact Jennifer Wright, HR Consultant at jwright@

cahrc-ccrha.ca or Debra Hauer, Project Manager at [email protected] or visit CAHRC at www.cahrc-ccrha.ca. This pro-ject is funded by Status of Women Canada.

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council works with industry leaders, gov-ernments and educational stakeholders to research, develop and communicate solutions to the challenges in employment and skills development in primary agriculture. The Council now leads collaborative implementation efforts in support of the national Workforce Action Plan for the agriculture and agri-food sector. For more information visit www.cahrc-ccrha.ca.

Supporting the Advancement of Women in AgricultureAdvisory Group members announced by CAHRC

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

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

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

“Our government is proud to invest in the International Trade Centre,” Stewart said. “This multifunctional facil-ity will make significant contributions to our prov-ince’s strong and diverse economy. It is going to be an important facility with the ability to attract and host a variety of large events that benefit trade and agri-

business in our growing province.”

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

the largest interconnected event facilities in North America.

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

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

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

“We are very grateful for this funding that will help to make the International Trade Centre possible,” Evraz Place President and CEO Mark Allan said. “This project will take the facilities at Evraz Place to a world-class level.”

Regina City Council will

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

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

THE NEWS REVIEW


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

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

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

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

Step 3: Look aroundThe first thing you’ll

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

More importantly, we have about a month to

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

in its immediate neigh-bourhood. If you think that’s it, it’s probably it.

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

to small oval. This may not seem like much, but it will appear exactly as it did to Galileo when he first trained his small telescope on it in 1610. He reported seeing ‘ears’, and decided they were closely orbiting moons.

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

its spectacular rings spread out more than twice the planet’s diam-eter. The entire ringsystem has a thicknessof less than one kilome-ter, but a diameter of282,000 km, or 35 Earths lined up shoul-der to shoulder.

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

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, working profession-als spend an average of 8.5 hours per day at work. Many profes-sionals spend much of their time at work sit-ting down in front of a computer, which can be detrimental to long-term health.

Staying sedentary for long periods of time can contribute to a host of health ail-ments, including being overweight and obese. But professionals who work in offices can take various steps to ensure all that time at work is not having an adverse affect on their overall health.

• Get out of your seat. Modern work-places are built around

sitting, so workers must find some time to stand up and stretch. Sitting too long can compromise posture and lead to craning of the neck for looking at the computer screen. Get out of your chair, walk around the office and get the blood mov-ing in your body.

• Pack your lunch. Bringing lunch to work puts you in greater control over the foods you are eating. You can pack a healthy and diverse selection of foods. Don’t forget to also bring some snacks that offer a healthy mix of protein and carbohydrates to keep your energy levels up. Otherwise, you may succumb to the temp-tation of the lunch-room snack machine.

• Take frequent breaks. Stale air inside an office environment can make you feel fatigued and less pro-ductive. Also, spending too much time behind your desk may contrib-ute to feelings of stress and tension. Use every opportunity possible to get up and leave your office. Instead of send-ing an instant message or making a phone call to a coworker, visit him or her in person. Use your lunch hour to get outside instead of eat-ing at your desk. Plan a brief, mid-afternoon walk outside of your office to clear your mind and get some fresh air.

• Disinfect surfac-es often. Oftentimes, when one person at the office gets sick, many

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

• Rest your eyes. Close your eyes and look away from the computer monitor every 20 minutes. Focusing on objects of varying distances can help keep the eyes strong and reduce fatigue. It’s not diffi-cult to remain healthy at work. Breaks, exer-cise and watching what you eat can help.

Avoiding unhealthy habits at the office

Get relief from sunburnSunburn is some-

thing nearly every-one will experience at least once in their lifetimes.

Though men, women and children should look to pre-vent sunburn entirely, sometimes sunburns occur, making those exposed to too much sun uncomfortable and possibly even dealing with consider-able pain.

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

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

approaches.• Get out of the sun

the moment you first feel irritation. Your skin may not be red, but irritation may be the first indication that you are being burned by the sun.

• Take cool baths or showers to relieve the pain and heat in the skin. Cool, damp towels also can do the trick.

• Use a moistur-izing lotion with aloe vera. Avoid moisturiz-ers with petroleum, as they will lock in heat.

• The American A c a d e m y o f Dermatology notes that sunburn may lead to dehydration. Drink plenty of water to keep your body well hydrated.

• Blisters may occur if sunburn is particularly bad. Do

not succumb to the temptation of popping the blisters, as doing so may result in an infection.

• Take a dose of ibuprofen to reduce swelling and counter-act the pain. Ibuprofen also may help prevent some long-term dam-age.

• If a blistering burn covers more than 20 percent of the body, seek medical attention. In addition, visit your physician if a sunburn is accom-panied by fever and chills.

• Keep sunburn covered up with tight-ly woven clothing to aid in healing.

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

THE NEWS REVIEW

Health benefits of meditationMeditation is often

trumped as a means to reducing stress and restoring healthy func-tion in the body. While meditation might once have been considered a New Age treatment, in recent years it has devel-oped into a mainstream practice supported by both traditional and alternative medical pro-viders.

The Mayo Clinic says that anyone can prac-tice meditation. A cost-effective treatment that does not require any special equipment or location, meditation has been practiced for thou-sands of years and origi-nally was developed to help people understand the mystical or spiritual forces of life. Although meditation for some may still have religious or spiritual connotations, in a medical sense it is typi-cally used for relaxation and stress reduction.

Various studies show that meditation can be associated with improve-ment of a variety of issues. Researchers describe meditation-based changes as ones that actually change the brain. Changes in the cir-cuitry of the brain may affect the way a person responds to specific situ-ations. The following are a few ways to put mind-ful meditation to use.

• Strengthen cogni-tive function: Dr. Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist at

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

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

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

• Reduce blood pres-sure: The stress-boosting properties of meditation can help reduce hyper-tension. Researchers at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine attribute this to the increase of nitric oxide during medita-tion. Nitric oxide gas can expand blood vessels and open up blood channels.

Some experts also say that meditation can decrease metabolism and improve breathing. Meditation may be a mind-body way to beat some of the conditions

that affect people dur-ing daily life. Meditation is not difficult to learn, but it something that requires practice to mas-ter.
