Cottagers face eviction or higher lease rates

By Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

Crooked Lake cottage owners are hoping to receive good news from the courts in September — that their leases won’t be so high — after Saki-may First Nation demanded they pay new rents that are seven times higher.

Sakimay increased the rents of more than 300 cottage owners by almost 700 per cent in 2009. For some residents, their rents increased by up to $5,000.

Affected cottagers live at Grenfell Beach and Indian Point; some have destroyed their cottages because the Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) told them to, others are preparing to vacate the buildings, while some have been evicted.

ISC sent a letter last December de-manding they pay the full amount of $5,800 for 2015 to 2019; most cottagers had paid one-third of that.

The initial rent increase led to a class-action lawsuit between cottage owners and the reserve. In 2016, a Federal Court judge ruled in the ten-ants’ favour and said the rent increases could not be imposed for a five-year pe-riod from 2010 to 2014. That decision is currently under appeal by Sakimay.

The court set the 2010 to 2014 lease rates at $1,100 to $1,500, or 1.3 per cent of land market value.

Sakimay still expects tenants to pay the higher lease rates from 2015 to 2019. Some cottagers haven’t paid their lease increases since 2010 based on legal advice, while others have termi-nated their agreements. A few cottage owners are challenging that increase in court as well; that challenge was initiated in December 2017.

Shesheep Cottage Owners Association (SCOA)“We’re sitting and waiting until Sep-

tember comes. We’ll see where we are and see if they come out with a value on (the property) then,” said Tom Cook, vice-president of SCOA executive.

“Hopefully they’re going to reverse it from the $5,800 they want right now, that they’ll come back to a little more reasonable level.

“If that happens, I think a majority of people would sign (the agreement).”

Cook is a vice-president of the Shesheep Cottage Owners Association (SCOA). He pointed out SCOA is the le-gitimate voice for cottagers at Crooked Lake, not a similarly-named group

Water plant kicks into gearBy Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

The superstructure of the new water treatment plant building should be vis-ible by the end of December, since the next phase of the building’s construc-tion has kicked into high gear.

The water wells near Killaly have already been sunk, the 30-kilometre pipeline bringing water to Melville has been laid, and the electrical and me-chanical components of the well-control building have been installed.

The pipeline was installed by De-cember 2017, while all tests for flush-ing and pressure were completed by June. Contractors can now also test the electrical components of the well-con-trol building.

“Construction has gone very well,” Eric Light, the vice-president of oper-ations and engineering for SaskWater, told the Melville Advance.

A pump test to verify the capacity and yields of the wells is all that re-mains. This helps engineers know if the pumps are working properly and are producing the required amount of water. SaskWater is conducting a 60-day pump test, but it could be shorter based on the results.

Lower level to housereservoirs, tanks

Since April, contractors have poured concrete for the building’s floor slab and walls, said Light. About 80 per cent of the lower level is completed; this area will house the reservoirs and tanks for water treatment.

About 1,000 tonnes of rebar will have been used once the plant is com-pleted, while roughly 3,200 cubic me-tres of concrete will have been poured.

“The other thing they’re working on right now is (they’re) starting to form up for the concrete pour on the main floor, which would be close to ground level,” Light said. This should be com-pleted by August.

The pipelines need to be connected to part of the building currently being constructed; this will happen in Sep-tember. No water will flow during this period.

Engineering firm KMS installed the pipeline, Graham Construction is constructing the water treatment plant and well-control building and Associ-ated Engineering looked after the proj-ect design.

Fair attracts nat’l visitorsBy Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

Having spent a month visiting family in Western Canada, Jim and Donna Dougherty stopped by the 111th annual Abernethy Fair to view the exhibits and watch the horse show be-fore heading home to St. Marys, Ont.

“This is my first country fair,” said Mrs. Dougherty on July 27. “I love it, just love it. I can’t believe the number of (exhibit) entries they have.”

Besides the horse show, Mrs. Dougherty enjoyed the many quilt entries submitted, while her husband appreciated the woodcarvings.

“It’s great,” added Mr. Dougherty.

There were 125 exhib-itors — from age two to 80 — from across Can-ada and Ireland who sub-mitted more than 1,300 items into this year’s exhibition, both a new record. Some items dis-played included quilts, plants, vegetables, grains, canned goods, Lego, and artwork.

“It’s amazing,” said Ag Society chair Cather-ine Barnsley. “It’s one of the largest inside exhib-its in the province. That is really exciting for us. This fair is very much alive.”

One of those exhib-itors was Nelle Penny, 91, who submitted baked items such as cakes, buns and bread. Several submissions took first place.

While born in Kipling, she married a farmer from the Abernethy area and lived in the commu-nity from 1951 to 2011, before moving to Regina.

She became involved with the Abernethy Agri-cultural Society in 1952, acting as the female president — there was also a male president — before becoming its secretary. She stepped away from the executive after her daughter was born, but still submitted cookies, muffins, pies and buns every year as an exhibitor — winning first place many times.

Besides baking for the fair, Penny enjoys doing it for her two sons and four grandchildren in Regina.

“They like to look in my deep-freeze and see what they can take home,” Penny said. “I’m happy with that because I can’t eat all that stuff.

It works really well be-cause I can satisfy my need to bake and they can be happy because they have things to eat.”

Having helped orga-nize the fair in the past, Penny noted this year’s Abernethy Fair has changed; this year is the biggest fair yet.

“I’m glad they’re keep-ing (the fair) going,” she said.

It’s important to have a fair for the commu-nity and area because it brings in young people and families, she con-tinued. While not every young person will set foot in the exhibit hall — even if children have submitted items — they will participate in the activities.

Deep down, most peo-ple who enter the com-petition want to keep the agricultural society going, Penny said. More people want to show off what they created or grew than to win an award.

“It’s nice to win, but it’s not high on our list,” she chuckled.

Over at the ice rink, 10 volunteers in red hats were running around organizing children’s activities such as potato sack race, best dressed dog or cat, baby races, a tug of war and best deco-rated bike.

One interesting as-pect of the fair is many former Abernethy res-idents came back to help organize and run it, said Barnsley. One such alumnus is Wendy Stueck, who grew up in the community but moved to Vancouver, B.C., 20 years ago to work for the Globe and Mail newspaper.

Stueck enjoyed com-ing home to see friends,

family and former neigh-bours. As a young girl, she took part in the pa-rade and horse shows, while she entered her homework and baking into the exhibition.

“Pie baking among men is taking off and becoming quite compet-itive (this year),” Stueck laughed. For example, Andrew Scheer and Evan Bray both submit-ted pies they had baked. Scheer is the MP for Re-gina-Qu’Appelle, while Bray is a former Aber-nethy resident who is now the Regina chief of police.

Scheer ended up tak-ing second place and beating Bray.

“All is well,” Scheer laughed when asked about his win.

This year, Stueck was one of the red-hat volun-teers who helped judge the children’s activities, which she thought were fun and inclusive.

“And you get to see dogs in skirts,” she chuckled.

Stueck likes contrib-uting to a community event that has been running for more than 100 years. She thinks it is important to cele-brate agriculture, since it has been so entwined with Abernethy and Sas-katchewan.

The ag show has changed from past years, she said. There are no longer any cattle, but there is an entertaining horse show. There are still exhibitions featur-ing wheat sheaves and demonstrations of grain cleaning.

“The agricultural his-tory is still very much alive,” Stueck added. “I think its (future is) very healthy for young peo-ple.”

Balcarres resident Kay Walters was surprised to learn she was one of four guests to cut a cake cele-brating the Abernethy Agricultural Society’s 111th anniversary, even though she grew up there and her grandfather had a hand in forming the organization.

The society held its 111th annual fair and exhi-bition on July 27. The event featured a horse show, kids’ games, exhibits, mini golf, bouncy castles,

Guest column by Premier Scott Moe

Last week, the Angus Reid Institute published a new national public opinion poll indicating that seven out of 10 Cana-dians believe the Govern-ment of Saskatchewan was right to challenge the Trudeau Liberal gov-ernment’s carbon tax in court, while two thirds of Canadians believe it should be the provinces — not Ottawa — that determine the appropri-ate path to reduce green-house gas emissions.

Two weeks ago, On-tario Premier Doug Ford announced that Ontario would support Saskatch-ewan’s legal challenge of the Trudeau carbon tax by seeking intervenor status in our govern-ment’s reference case at the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal.

In declaring his sup-port for Saskatchewan, Premier Ford was un-equivocal, stating that Ontario would use every single tool at its disposal to challenge a carbon tax that would make life un-affordable for families and put thousands of jobs at risk.

Three weeks ago, Prince Edward Island confirmed it is preparing a climate action plan that does not include a carbon tax or a cap and trade system.

PEI Environment Minister Richard Brown said: “If the objective is to reduce carbon in the air, and we have a plan to do that, then why do we need a tax?”

No doubt other prov-inces are asking the same question, as Otta-wa’s Sept. 1 deadline for carbon pricing proposals approaches.

So this is the situation we find our nation in: • Two or perhaps three provinces are in compli-ance with the federal car-bon pricing plan• Two provinces are chal-lenging the plan in court• And a number of the remaining provinces and territories will not be in

compliance come Sep-tember.

The fed-eral govern-ment would be wel l advised to take a step back to re-assess and c o n s i d e r the withdrawal of its one-size-fits-all carbon tax and adopt a more colle-gial approach to address-ing climate change.

This was the approach Prime Minister Justin Trudeau espoused in March 2016 when he met with Canada’s premiers in Vancouver, B.C. to discuss climate change. In Vancouver, the prime minister declared a will-ingness to work with the Premiers “in the spirit of co-operation and collabo-ration”.

Soon afterward, Ot-tawa unilaterally im-posed a carbon tax, in a betrayal of those warm sentiments.

It’s time the federal government stepped back and took another look at what the provinces are actually doing to combat climate change.

In Saskatchewan, we have released a climate change plan — Prairie Resilience — that will lead to a real reduction in greenhouse gas emis-sions without a carbon tax that would cost our province’s energy in-tensive, export-oriented economy $4 billion over five years.

In Saskatchewan, we are in the process of doubling our renewable power to 50 per cent of our electrical generating capacity, in part by work-ing with First Nations on innovative projects.

We have invested more than $1 billion in the world’s first commercial power plant with a fully integrated post com-bustion carbon capture system — the Boundary Dam 3 project (BD3).

BD3 has captured more than two million tonnes of carbon dioxide

— the equivalent of tak-ing 500,000 cars off the road.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as a crucial technology to reduce emissions by the United Nations, the Interna-tional Energy Agency and a number of environ-mental groups. Saskatch-ewan is a world leader in advancing this important technology. This should be recognized by the fed-eral government.

We are devising an offset system that will recognize our province as a carbon sink and a research leader in agri-culture.

We are owed more GTH explanationsLet us be clear that

it is a good thing that the RCMP is not laying criminal charges in the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) fiasco.

Certainly, it is a great thing for the Saskatche-wan Party government, whose credibility would have taken a serious hit if it headed into the 2020 election under the cloud of criminal court cases.

Consider for a moment how bad such a circum-stance would have been for democracy itself. Such a scandal would have affected the political fortunes of the Sask. Party, as was the case for the Progressive Conservatives in the early 1990s after their own cau-cus communication fraud scandal that produced 16 criminal convictions of MLAs and staff.

Setting aside judgment on whether the old PCs deserved this fate (they went into hiatus and most of their members converted to the newly formed Sask. Party), this scandal disrupted the political balance in the province for nearly two decades.

What was essentially a two-party system in Sas-katchewan between the NDP left and the alternative became a one-party system as that alternative tran-sitioned from the PCs to the Liberals to the Sask. Party after the 1997 merger.

Of course, it’s far less likely even GTH criminal charges would have killed the mighty Sask. Party in the same way. Nevertheless, had the RCMP found reason for charges, there can be no doubt that it would have taken an even greater political toll on the Sask. Party than this mess already has.

After 21/2 years and some 7,500 man-hours of RCMP investigation, we can be now confident that there is no reason to suspect criminality. That has to be a good thing, but does that mean this whole sorry GTH affair is now over and we should never know what really happened?

No, not by a long shot. Maybe the “judicial” in-quiry now being demanded by the NDP is not needed.

You would think such legal matters — with the exception of civil suits that may still possibly emerge out of the myriad pending land acquisition trans-actions lawsuits — have been dispensed with. But consider all the other things the RCMP has likely discovered during its 30 months of investigation — non-criminal matters of questionable ethics, conflicts of interest and downright government incompetence — that the public deserves to know about but doesn’t yet know about.

Although the GTH anticipated $10 million in land sales in 2017-18, it made no such sales that fiscal year and sold only $231,000 in land leases. Total GTH debt is now $40 million, including a $28-million loan from the Royal Bank of Canada.

Debt interest is now $845,000 — $200,000 more in 2017-18 than the $635,000 in the previous fiscal year. And this supposed inland port actually only has 12 clients — many of which are government entities ordered to locate there.

Moreover, the GTH’s very existence has clearly affected other costly decisions, namely, the routing of now $1.9-billion Regina bypass that has become arguably an even bigger fiasco.

Now, Justice and GTH Minister Don Morgan is talking about unloading the whole mess. “In retro-spect, it’s probably not a business the government should have been involved in.”

But why did it become such a mess? The public is owed this explanation.

In fairness to the opposition’s own politically driven call for a “judicial inquiry,” it repeatedly demanded politicians and bureaucrats come to leg-islative committees to explain what went wrong. Government MLAs blocked this each and every time — sometimes using the under-investigation excuse.

Well, there is no longer a police investigation to use as an excuse, and the government should be re-quired to explain its actions. And we should have an in depth Provincial Auditor forensic audit advancing her initial damning finding in her June 2016 report.

This would seem to be the very minimum that is now required.

People in Igloolik, Nunavut are noticing how clean their streets and public spaces are after 57 kilo-grams of cigarette butts were picked up during its community cleanup. With an average cigarette weighing about a gram, that’s more than 57,000 cig-arettes picked up over the two-week cleanup.

In Alaska, the last two Blockbuster video stores are calling it quits, leav-ing just one store open in the U.S. In its heyday, Blockbuster had 15 stores in Alaska. Some stores in more remote, less populated parts of the state began closing in the early 2000s. In recent years, Blockbuster stores have vanished in most of the U.S. They lasted longer in Alaska, with the primary possible reason being ex-pensive internet as a factor in keeping many people renting videos rather than streaming. The closures will leave the Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon, as the sole holdout. At its peak in 2004, Blockbuster employed 84,300 people worldwide, including about 58,500 in the United States, and had 9,094 stores in total, with more than 4,500 of these in the US.

consultants, contractors and sub-contractors — will have worked on the treatment plant during its construction.New approach to in-stalling pipes

The contractor used an innovative approach when installing the pipeline so that more than 300 metres of pipe per day was installed by a single crew, said Tim Jansen, SaskWater’s major projects engineer, in the company’s annual report.

The process included fusing the pipeline sec-tion together and then digging a narrow trench just wider than the pipe itself. The contractor custom-built a large box-like steel structure that was dropped into the trench and pulled along it to prevent the walls from caving in.

This is an approach previously done with smaller -

plished with the 400-millimetre diameter pipe used for Melville. A traditional approach would have re-quired digging a wider trench and having a second crew placing the pipe at its base.

“Our working relationship with SaskWater has been focused, seamless and most cordial,” Mayor Walter Streelasky said in the report. “The support and stellar guidance provided by the staff of SaskWa-ter is truly appreciated.” Installing the main equipment

The next major milestone — and highlight of the project — will be the installation of the reverse osmo-sis equipment, Light said. These pieces are what per-form the main water treatment and will be connected to the piping, electrical and mechanical equipment.

two pieces of technology will treat the groundwater and well water.

“The reverse osmosis is not necessarily common,” he continued. “Certainly there are membranes and different ways of treating (water).”

A pilot project in 2016 determined using reverse osmosis was best. Improved water quality

“The water quality is going to improve,” said Light, because the current WTP system treats groundwater and surface water; the latter is used to supplement the former. The new system will rely exclusively on ground and well water.

“With the surface water, there can be taste and odour issues, so going with the new system … (it)

to this project, as well.” Good weather, poor weather

This past spring was cooler than anticipated, which slightly delayed the start of pouring concrete for the base and foundation, said Light. However, the weather did not hamper the project and contractors

“In 2017, the weather was in our favour,” he noted. It was drier toward the end of the year, which al-lowed pipeline construction to be re-routed throughonce swampy land.

The project is on track to hit its $37-million price tag, Light said. Through the Clean Water and Waste-water Fund, the federal and provincial governments provided $10.2 million toward the non-potable pipe-line and well-control building.

“SaskWater will invest the remaining capital forthe project and recover that investment through water rates over the life of the new system,” Light

... no need for carbon taxContinued from Page 4

Carbon intensity in agriculture has been reduced in part because of research undertaken in our prov-ince, in genetics, agronomy, and in zero till technology that sequesters carbon in the soil. In Saskatchewan, we manufacture air drills and export them to Russia, Kazakhstan, throughout Europe, the United States and Australia. These Saskatchewan-made air drills are reducing greenhouse gas emissions around the world. At home, more than 70 per cent of our land is cultivated using zero till technology.

Meanwhile, the production of pulse crops in Sas-katchewan has soared, from 400,000 acres in 1990 to six million acres today. We are one of the world’s lead-ing exporters of lentils, peas and chickpeas, crops that

lower carbon footprint.Saskatchewan’s agricultural soils are an enormous

carbon sink, sequestering millions of tonnes of CO2 every year. This, too, should be recognized by the fed-eral government. As should the millions of tonnes of emissions offset by Saskatchewan uranium used to produce nuclear power in the United States and Asia.

Saskatchewan industries — Canadian industries — are more environmentally responsible and oper-ate more sustainably than many of their competitors around the world.

If we really want to lower emissions, we should en-courage Canadians to purchase sustainably-produced Canadian products.

And we should give the provinces the freedom to develop climate change polices that actually work, without a federal carbon tax.

Melville RCMP and the Yorkton Provincial General Investigation Sec-tion have released more information and details about the alleged kidnap-ping southeast of Melville as a way to help further their investigation.

Police believe the suspect involved in this incident was also involved in an occurrence at a business on Broadway Street in Yorkton at around 11 a.m. on July 12, said the RCMP in a news re-lease. Security footage shows the sus-pect was wearing black pants, black shoes with white trim, and a black Oakley shirt during this incident.

The suspect is described as an Ab-original man, approximately 5-10 in height with a slim build. He was wear-ing black pants, a black Regina Riot hoodie with the word Defence written in white on the front. There are very

few of these hoodies in existence.The suspect then hitched a ride

to the Melville area immediately af-terward. Anyone who saw anyone matching the suspect’s description in Yorkton around 11 a.m. is asked to call Yorkton RCMP at 306-786-2400.

“The police often rely on informa-tion provided by the public in inves-tigations and even the smallest bit

to help us solve a crime,” said Mel-ville RCMP Staff Sgt. Jeff Comeau by email. “What may seem trivial to someone could actually be the one piece we are missing to resolve a ques-tion or important component of an in-vestigation”.

The alleged kidnapping took place on July 12, when a man broke into a rural home south of Melville armed

man demanded to be driven to Regina and the woman complied.

Once the woman had dropped off the man at a Regina residence, she immediately called Regina Police.

Police are also asking anyone to re-port immediately if they saw someone

There is no clear answer as to how long these types of investigations take, said Comeau. Some investigations are resolved more quickly than others. There are many factors that contrib-ute to this, but a team of investigators

... Crooked Lake cottagersContinued from Page 1

headed by Stan Frank with whom the Regina Leader-Post spoke recently.

The Grenfell Beach Association rep-resents cottagers on the lake’s south side.

Cook paid $900 in rent in 2009, but Sakimay increased that to $5,400 in 2010 and then to $5,800 recently. He lives on the north side of Crooked Lake at Indian Point.

“They’re the schoolyard bully,” Cook said about Sakimay. “They are the landlord, so I suppose they feel they have the right to do it. And we still feel we have rights (as well).”

The court’s initial ruling meant Cook paid $1,162 in rent, an amount he admitted was low. The cottage own-ers and Sakimay would likely be satis-

he said. Cook bought his cottage in 2000 as

a summer getaway. He and his wife moved there permanently in 2006.

Current leases are to expire be-tween January 2019 and 2022.

Racist attitudes the problem“Absolutely it’s too low,” said Chief

Lynn Acoose about the court-imposed lease values. “Who would go into busi-ness with a rate of return of 1.3 per cent (of land market value)? … We’d be operating at cost.”

She pointed out if this were off-re-serve, landholders would not tolerate their lessees missing payments and being up to eight years in arrears.

“What makes us different from our neighbour down the road (who leases land)?” Acoose asked. “It’s race. Why is it unfair of us to ask a tenant to pay their lease fees? Why are we expected to let people live on our land for noth-ing? Why? Because there are racist at-titudes towards us out there.”

New lease managementSakimay recently announced that

Basadinaa Property Management Ltd. — an arms-length subsidiary of Saki-may Management Authority — would manage all new leases.

The new arrangement allows for better dispute resolution and provides guidelines for rental rates, said Aco-ose. It’s a better lease arrangement than the one managed by ISC.

Acoose believes dealings between the reserve and cottage tenants can absolutely improve and can be solved amicably, since a professional man-agement company would have a better understanding of how to handle cottag-ers.

Federal government unwilling to helpCook pointed out their leases are

with the Crown, as represented by the Queen and federal government, but Indigenous Services Canada has delegated that authority to Sakimay

to collect lease payments and act as landlord.

“The federal government is trying to get all the Indians to (have) self-gov-ernment type of thing,” said Cook. “So they’ve turned over their responsibili-ties to Sakimay — except they haven’t

In 2010, Sakimay raised the rental rates to $5,400 and then to $5,800 in 2015. In December 2017, ISC sent cot-tage owners a letter telling them their time was up and to vacate their prop-erties.

“They’re solely on the side of the Indians. The government is totally op-posed to us,” said Cook. “The federal government will do nothing for us.”

Agreement not honouredSakimay approached cottagers in

2013 with a settlement of $3,000 per lot. Cottagers thought it was still high, but voted in favour of it, said Cook. Sakimay refused to honour the agree-ment since it wanted more money after receiving a higher land appraisal value.

Cook believes ISC is pressuring the justice system to rule in Sakimay’s fa-vour over the second legal appeal.

Sakimay recently closed the cottag-ers’ garbage dump without warning, so a contractor is hauling their refuse to Melville for disposal. Cook noted they aren’t truly sure who closed the dump; Sakimay and the provincial govern-ment both deny doing it.

Reconsideration of leased landsAcoose said the reserve is moving

forward as if the court appeal will be acceptable for both sides. However, if it doesn’t go Sakimay’s way, the band council would reconsider whether it wants to continue leasing out its lake-front property since the land would be devalued.

-ing provided a return rate of only 1.3 per cent of land market value. This translates to $347,000 of income on 324 leases.

“We may as well build our own housing down there and enjoy lake-front property,” Acoose said, “rather than settle on such a low amount (of

ruling.” Most of Sakimay’s tenants are good

people and the relationship between the two is positive, said Acoose. How-ever, there are some vocal tenants who don’t want to co-operate.

“They don’t grasp that this land is Sakimay’s,” she said.

Cook also hopes for a fair resolution to the situation.

“All we want is a fair settlement,” he said. “But we do not want to be taken to the cleaners. If the rate was roughly $3,000, people would be happy.”

Christi Tank with the Horizon Credit Union (HCU) and Chris Paradis, general manager of Prairie Co-op, present a cheque of $1,140 to Mayor Walter Streelasky and Chris Bruce, director of community services, at the swimming pool on July 31. The funds were raised during the joint HCU/Co-op pancake breakfast on Canada Day; the money is for a new pool.

CN Rail has new president, CEO

MALKOSKE


Every year there are summer art programs for kids held throughout the community, but very little — if any-thing — for adults.

The Melville Art Council wants to change that.

Since July 25, the council has hosted three visual arts drop-in classes at Melville Community Works for all ages, but with a particular focus on adults. Each session runs from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and costs $5 per person.

July 25 focused on watercolours, Aug. 1 focused on acrylics, while Wednesday, Aug. 8 will focus on mark making with pencils.

Jessica Stangier, a University of Re-gina arts education student, is leading the three drop-in classes. She is also the summer student leading MCW’s kids’ summer arts camp.

“We had very poor attendance for our grades 9 to 12 camps — as in none,” she laughed recently.

She has conducted several outreach art projects throughout the area, in-cluding with special needs participants at Rail City Industries, seniors at St. Paul Lutheran Home in Melville, and in Kamsack. This approach gets the whole community to participate.

“It’s something to do,” Stangier said. “It gets people involved.”

Since the three classes are volun-tary and drop-in, Stangier did not expect to have a full class each time. Resident Robin Yuzicapi was the lone participant during the watercolours workshop.

“I love art,” Yuzicapi said.

Parkland College before being ac-cepted into an art school at the Uni-versity of British Columbia in 2013. However, after a few months, health and family issues prevented her from continuing and she returned to Sas-katchewan.

She has an art studio in her home and, if she wants to learn something, watches YouTube videos. She also purchases sketchbooks whenever she visits garage sales.

“It’s nice that it’s affordable,” she said about the Melville program’s $5 fee. In comparison, art programs in Yorkton can cost $50 to $70 for a two-hour class.

Keeping costs low was one of the goals for the kids’ art program, said Stangier, adding, “Most parents don’t want to spent a lot on art.”

Stangier can do more activities with the kids when costs are low. She pointed out few people would register for any of the classes if they were two hours long and cost $100. She had a budget of $500 for supplies for the kids’ art program and spent $300 for everything.

During the adult classes, Stang-ier taught the participants 10 to 15 different techniques she has learned. Participants could then explore the techniques and create whatever they wanted.

One positive of working with wa-tercolours, she explained, is if people are unhappy with what they created, they can simply cover over it and start again. She enjoys watercolours be-cause they are forgiving; it has become a good resource for teaching others.

Mark making with pencils is an-other enjoyable way of creating art for Stangier. She didn’t realize how much one could do with a pencil until her professor show her what was possible.

“It was a whole new world,” she added. For example, she could use her pencil to shade in different ways, or create loops, scribbles, jagged zigzags, or interlocking lines.

Stangier thinks it would be great to have more regular classes for adults. She would be willing to bring in com-

munity artists, such as Jeannette Cloutier, to help guide participants.

“I love it,” said Stangier about teaching adults. “I love kids, but I like to reach out to everybody else and spread my love of art.”

Stangier hopes the adults who at-tend the drop-in classes learn to loosen up and relax. She noted art could help people get to know themselves andothers; it can help shy people open up.

“I hope,” she added, “I am able tohelp them do that.”

At Pawsh Pet Place we advocate feeding a raw food diet to your cats and dogs. Th e benefi ts of this type of diet are many: healthy skin and shiny coat, cleaner and whiter teeth, fresh breath, healthy digestive system, stronger immune system, decreased allergies, healthy body weight, more muscle mass, less doggy odour, smaller and less smelly poop. Dry processed foods (kibble) are high in carbohydrates which cause infl ammation and diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Other symptoms include: loose stool and diarrhea, joint issues, itchy paws, skin rash, yeasty skin, and chronic ear infections. Feeding raw food can clear up many of these issues. Feeding raw is easy when you start with a quality premade food like our newly arrived Spring Meadows Natural Pet Food. Some owners choose to transition by feeding raw in the morning and kibble in the evening until they can see the benefi ts for themselves. Th ere is a lot to be gained by feeding real food. Other whole foods that benefi t dog and cat health are raw goats milk and kefi r, raw eggs, sardines packed in water, vegetables, and bone broth.

The Melville Millionaires left their 2018 season behind, going out with a whimper and not the bang fans had hoped for.

The Mils lost seven in a row and added an eighth loss by default to the Moose Jaw Miller Express to end another disappointing season for the club.

Gov’t, anglers need to change their ways

Depending on your age, you’ve doubtless seen at some point, a tattered photograph of men standing about eight feet apart, hold-ing a stringer of wall-eye that they’d caught.

While the folks in the picture smiled from ear to ear, perhaps with the requisite ciga-rette or stogie protruding, their catch of three- and four-pounders was on display for all to see. The pic, in most cases, is in black and white and may or may not have a time stamp on the back, but you can tell

Walleye are natural spawners. In many lakes, fe-males are capable of laying up to several hundred thousand eggs per year. This is why it is important to protect these large spawning females in April and early May.

Southern lakes are productive with lots of feed for the hungry walleye, however, many of these lakes do not have the habitat to support natural repro-duction. Because of this, the province has a hatch-ery program that stocks walleye fry into a number of these lakes where walleye cannot reproduce, and greatly increase the number of lakes we can catch

Other interesting walleye facts include:• The lips of a walleye have thousands of taste buds on them.• Walleye are actually members of the perch family.

The committee that recruits physicians to Mel-ville intends to hold a meeting for area leaders to inform them of the work the group does and the part it plays in supporting doctors.

The Melville and District Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee discussed this idea a cou-ple of months ago during its regular meeting and

-eral meeting.

There used to be 21 area communities and rural municipalities that were apart of the committee, explained committee president, Mayor Walter Streelasky. Now that number is down to 17. The committee may simply not have received a contri-bution from a community; it doesn’t mean that mu-nicipality quit the group.

The idea is to invite two people from each member community — the mayor or reeve and a resident — to a meal at the Horizon Credit Union Centre or a restaurant and inform them of the importance of the group, its relevance in providing medical care and its recruitment efforts.

The committee is active and has done that, with the help of the former Sunrise Health Region, said Streelasky. Furthermore, the group provides up to $15,000 to new doctors who promise to practise rural medicine for three years in Melville; it will distrib-ute $30,000 by January for two new doctors.

“We want to ensure we hold onto these (municipal groups),” he said, adding some communities have told him their residents are going to other places for medical service besides Melville. “That is an ob-stacle, but perhaps we need to tell our story a little better.” 2018 levy

Committee members voted to keep the levy it charges its member municipalities at $3 per capita. Area communities contribute a levy since some of their residents come to Melville for medical services.

Neither Streelasky nor van Zyl thought the committee should ask for a higher levy right now, since the committee has

enough money to recruit more doctors. President’s report

The committee has played an important function by taking ownership of medical care in the area, said Streelasky. Most committee members don’t work in

-ing the committee and supporting district residents.

There have been challenges, such as building a new clinic, recruiting doctors and retaining them, he continued. Yet, the committee is pleased with what it has accomplished. It has developed good re-lationships with Melville’s doctors, with St. Peter’s Hospital and with the new Saskatchewan Health Authority.

“Continuous uninterrupted physician services is what we try to have in the community,” Streelasky said. There were times in Melville’s history when there was no medical service available. The situa-tion has stabilized over the last 10 years.

together and the committee is grateful for their care with patients, said Streelasky.

However, doctors Chelsea Cottingham and Majak Beny will be gone by September. The committee has

found two potential doctors and is waiting for themto complete their provincial training. Financial statements

The committee had $10,000 less in operational

This is because there are three empty rooms atthe clinic, said Streelasky. The building is not run-ning at full rent capacity since one doctor left tostart his own practice.

Committee member Merv Ozirny wondered if thegroup had a reserve account for physician recruit-ment. Streelasky replied the committee has $20,000for such activities. Ozirny pointed out that waslisted as an expense since the committee paid out$15,000 and $5,000 to recruit two doctors last year.

A reserve account for doctor recruitment shouldlist $10,000 for last year and $20,000 this year, headded. Neither of those line items shows in the bud-get.

Those are concerns Streelasky intends to ask the-

ings to the next committee meeting.

... rural crime decreased by three per cent in 2017, says RCMPContinued from Page 10

Partnerships can help prevent crime

The RCMP is working with its com-munities and other agencies to develop programs to prevent and reduce crime. More than 100 Saskatchewan commu-nities are either developing or already operating Rural Crime Watch or Citi-zens on Patrol programs.

The Citizens on Patrol Program (COPP) provides an extra pair of eyes for police, as residents report unusual activity in hopes of deterring crimi-nals, Comeau said. Although Rural Crime Watch does not necessarily in-volve scheduled patrols, the volunteers perform a similar role as COPP volun-teers.

“The people that are in the best po-sition to recognize suspicious activity within their communities are the very

people that live there,” he added. While these efforts are proving ef-

fective, policing is only one part of thesolution to crime problems, noted King. That is why community engagement, such as hosting town halls, is one of the RCMP’s top priorities.

The RCMP is committed to work-ing collaboratively with its partners,municipal governments and commu-nity leaders to develop and implement strategies to address the root causes ofcrime, King added, and lead to stron-ger, safer and healthier communities.

... Balcarres resident connects to fair’s pastContinued from Page 3

-works.

“What cake?” Walters asked quizzically before the anniversary ceremony. When told about her role, she exclaimed it was won-derful to help.

“It’s not a chance everybody gets. It’s a very special chance,” she said. “I don’t know why I’m doing it, but I’m doing it anyway.”

The other reason Walters was selected is because she is 99 years old and will turn 100 on Dec. 23, explained society chair Catherine Barnsley. The ag society would have been 11 years old when Wal-ters was born. Furthermore, the organization has its roots in the community of Pheasant Forks, north of Lemberg.

“In 1887, a group of hearty

society (there),” said Barnsley. “One of the directors was a farmer by the name of Tom Pallister. Kay Walters … is Tom’s granddaugh-ter.”

Walters moved from England to Ontario, before moving west with his brother, Dick, where they bought land north of Abernethy.

From 1899 to 1904, the Pheas-ant Forks Ag Society was involved in purchasing bulls, seeking new pioneers, circulating petitions to secure a railroad, building a hall, organizing a chapter of the Farm-

ers Institute and helping build a blacksmith shop.

The Pheasant Forks Ag Society had a poor year in 1903, while it became evident the railroad would bypass the community. The rail-way went south of Lemberg and the Pheasant Forks community died, along with its ag society, in 1904.

The Abernethy Agricultural Society was then incorporated in 1906.

Walters has brief memories of Pallister, since she was a child when he died.

“He was awfully good to us four kids … and a nice man,” she said.

Pallister was a farmer, as well as a lay minister who preached at Foster School eight kilome-

-munity. Walters remembers her grandfather praying with her family regularly, letting them bounce on his knee, and rarely being angry with them.

“He was always happy and laughing,” she added.

Walters attended many Aber-nethy Fairs as a young girl. She was amazed the fair is now 111 years old when she is about to turn 100.

“I’m surprised I’m living that long,” she remarked. “(It’s) be-cause I haven’t been sick. The only thing is, I had a muscle disease in my leg. (It) affected my walking,

that’s why I’m in a nursing home. Otherwise, I would have been walking or running.”

Walters was born in Abernethy and went to Foster School, before attending school in Abernethy it-self. She married Ed Walters and they farmed near there; they had one daughter, before he died in 1994.

Walters has lived in Balcarres for the last nine years. She enjoys the company of her three grand-children and seven great-grand-children.

“They’re good kids. They’re all smart like their mother,” she chuckled.

Her great-granddaughter, Heather, calls her by phone every night for long conversations.

Having lived for a century, Walters couldn’t think of just one big change she had experienced. She remembers riding a horse to school in the summer and taking a horse and cutter in the winter. She and her siblings stayed at their aunt and uncle’s home in town when it became too cold.

Walters’ advice to live long is to be good, behave, have fun, be so-ciable and don’t be grumpy.

“I used to drink once in a while, but I haven’t drank for ages,” she added. “I don’t know what it would be like if I had one. I’d be gone to town.”

After crossing ground poles, navigating through pylons and crossing a wooden bridge in the trail class, Makayla Matsalla and Rio Play complete the rope gate obstacle at the Abernethy Fair horse show.

In English Equitation, riders are judged not for the way their horses perform, but how they themselves ride —their position, posture, hand position and overall horsemanship. After riding together around the ring, the riders were also given a test, called a pattern, where individually they were asked to walk, trot and canter around

how well they cue their horses and that they follow the pattern cor-rectly.
