Building on the momentum of last year’s inaugural event, the Shellbrook Street Fair is looking to be bigger and better in year two.

Volunteers have been meeting for months organizing the August 25 event which is set to bring back some popular attractions while featuring a long list of new things to see.

Headlining the afternoon are the Gold Dragon Wrestlers, out of Moose Jaw, who will be performing through the afternoon.

According to Street Fair Committee Chair, Noreen Bryson-Mudry, the event is coming together smoothly with new additions com-ing on all the time.

“We’re keeping the same format with just a few changes to keep it a little different,” said Bryson-Mudry.

“There is defi nitely some more interest

over and above last year.” This year’s musi-cal entertainment will be provided by Kerri English, Sweet Williams, Dizzy River and dance headliners Men Without Shame.

One change from last year is that a $5 ad-mission will be charged for the street dance to help cover some of the costs of the event.

In addition to last year’s very successful beach volleyball tournament, a road hockey tournament has also been organized for the event.

Once again Main Street will be blocked off from Third Avenue East to Railway Avenue to accommodate various vendors and ex-hibits while the tradeshow in the Shellbrook Community Hall will also be back for a sec-ond year.

Paul Verbonac lays a big hit on Brad Stewart, rolling his “Ghostbuster” station wagon onto its roof during Saturday’s Parkside Demolition Derby.

More than 20 years after his fi rst attempt, Shellbrook’s Keith Wason is the 2012 Park-side Demolition Derby Champion.

Wason frequently entered cars in the event in his younger days before taking a 20 year break from the event. He entered last year for the fi rst time in 20 years and made it into the fi nal but didn’t make it into the top three.

Though support has been great, the committee is still looking for some additional volunteer help on the day of the event.

Volunteers gearing up for

Street Fair

Sun shines on another successful Parkside DerbyContinued from page 1Wason’s win was nearly overshadowed by what was per-

haps the biggest, scariest hit of the event’s history. In the fi -nal, a big hit from Jake/Paul Verbonac car to Brad Stewart’s “Ghostbuster” painted station wagon resulted in a roll over. When the dust settled, Verbonac’s car came to rest on top of the overturned Stewart station wagon.

After a few tense moments, Stewart emerged from his car and walked away on his own two feet while Verbonac’s car required the assistance of two skid steers to get off of the rolled station wagon. Stewart’s car, which ironically fea-tured the words “This side up” on the roof, was done for the day while the Verbonac car was able to continue but fi nished short of the top three.

Kelly Larson, of Dalmeny, just didn’t have enough car left to compete with Wason in the fi nal minutes of the race, fi n-ishing second just ahead of Jon Tremain, of Shellbrook.

This year’s event was one of the shortest in recent memory as each of the three qualifying heats and the two consola-tion events came to quick fi nishes. Parkside’s Derek Olson won the fi rst heat while fi nal runners up Kelly Larson and Jon Tremain fi nished fi rst in the second and third heats, re-spectively.

The Jake and Paul Verbonac car, Jamie Dumais, of Deb-den, and Brad Stewart advanced to the fi nal by way of the fi rst consolation heat. In the second consolation, it was Parkside’s Devin Waterhouse, Ryan Peake of Annahiem and eventual champ Keith Wason.

Meanwhile, Bruce Campbell, of Saskatoon, took fi rst place in the barrel race with a time of 23.81 seconds.

On the ball fi elds, Saskatoon’s Dream Team knocked off perennial fi nalists Tippy Canoe in the A side of the event’s SloPitch tournament. The Dream Team came out of the round robin with a 3-1 record to earn a berth in the A side draw.

Team Harris avenged their round robin loss to Hughes He-roes with a win in the B side fi nal. Team Harris advanced to the B side after going 1-3 in the round robin.

As with every successful derby car, hours and hours of la-bour went into Wason’s winning ride. With the help of his son Tavis Wason, brother Scott Wason and other pit crew members Todd Skauge, Marlon Stene and Daryl Kennedy.

Team Harris found their form after the round robin to win the B bracket in Derby Slo-Pitch Tournament.

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com August 3, 2012

Military men in the United Kingdom were called into action at a variety of event ven-ues as the 2012 London Summer Olympic

games kicked off this week. They weren't called in to quell civil unrest or to direct traffi c in the vast crowds – they were given tickets so that the London Olym-

pic Organizing Committee could avoid embarrassment of hun-dreds of empty seats.

The yawning emptiness of the Olympic events may be due to high prices of tickets, of a per-ceived in ability to get them or maybe people have just stopped caring. Maybe people aren't in-terested in paying an arm and a leg to check out equestrian, table tennis or rowing.

The very idea of the Olympic Games has always impressed me as, for the most part, these ath-letes are amateurs with day job who put it all on the line to be the best at what they do. Training in triathlon, distance running and

weight lifting on your days off is pretty hardcore. But with that being said, perhaps the International

Olympic Committee has forgotten about the entertain-ment value in their quest for pure sport. The games are expensive to host and host nations need to fi ll seats to make their money back.

If they are looking to fi ll seats at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil nothing would do the job better than adding Mixed Martial Arts to their list of events. The sport has seen exponential growth over

the past 12 years and is report-edly second in popularity, behind soccer (football), in Brazil.

And it wouldn't be like they would be adding something com-pletely foreign to the games. A very primitive version of today's popular sport called Pankration was a part of the Greek Olympic events. The martial art was in-troduced in 648 BC and at that time blended wrestling and box-ing.

Today's mixed martial arts fea-tures a blend of current Olympic sports like Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, Wrestling and Judo, plus many more.

If the IOC couldn't quite stom-ach what professional style mixed martial arts had to offer they could also go with amateur

MMA in the next Olympic Games.The amateur form of the sport is a very toned down

version of the professional competition taking place in promotions around the world. Thicker gloves are worn along with head gear while elbow strikes and knee strikes to the head are prohibited.

As far sports go, few are more diffi cult to be great at. Fighters train in multiple disciplines and because of that mix, no two fi ghters are alike. They can't just get by on being a bar brawler or a submission ace – they have to put the whole package together.

I'm not saying that the current Olympic Games are broken but if the IOC was looking for an edge to make the next Summer Games a slam dunk, they might want to look at bringing in a sport with this kind of proven popularity.

Olympic Games need to change with the times

The business of Saskatchewan

Perhaps the International

Olympic Committee

has forgotten about the

entertainment value in their quest for pure

sport.

The average pay packet in Saskatchewan went down in May, the fi rst monthly decline we’ve seen in a while.

Statistics Canada tracks wage rates in the country to mon-itor how various regions are doing.

Sometimes these are skewed a bit because they can include overtime so something as simple as adding to the employee base can trigger a decline as there are more people available to work which can lead to lower overtime hours.

Nonetheless, Saskatchewan is still showing well.

We now stand fourth among the provinces, the fi rst time we’ve fallen below third place in months as Ontario once again squeaked ahead of us. But, on an annualized basis, we are still tops in the na-tion.

The average wage rose by 5.4 per cent in the past year in Saskatchewan. That increase is even higher than Alberta’s and signifi cantly better than Manitoba where rates rose by only one per cent, the lowest in the coun-try.

And who was making the best gains? It turns out con-struction workers, those involved in education and retail employees produced the biggest wage increases.

* * * There might be signs that the global economy is slowing a

bit but you wouldn’t know it by the numbers coming out of this province.

StatsCan’s monthly updates provide a contrarian perspec-tive for those who leaning towards the global decline side of the ledger.

Wholesale fi gures for Saskatchewan for May suggest there is more than enough momentum in the economy to keep things rolling.

Total sales by the province’s wholesalers came up just a

smidge short of $2 billion for the month. That’s up more than 13 per cent from the same time a year

ago with agricultural supplies and machinery providing much of the lift.

We also saw an increase in the province’s trade numbers according to a separate StatsCan report.

This is one is particularly important because it fl ies in the face of suggestions that the global marketplace is in retraction mode.

And, even if it is, it would seem the products Saskatchewan supplies are not the ones being caught by a tightening of the net.

* * *It’s a perplexing problem: we have large num-

bers of unfi lled jobs and, at the same time, large numbers of unemployed people.

StatsCan says the country had a quarter of a million vacant jobs at the end of April.

And, for every open job, there were 5.6 unemployed peo-ple. This spread is actually shrinking as the ranks of the un-employed contract.

So what causes this apparent contradiction? One guy with a theory is Kraig Kramers, a veteran of the

business world, having run a dozen companies in the US ranging from small start-ups to Fortune 500 fi rms.

He was in the province meeting with local business people earlier in the month.

He contends the inability of some unemployed people to fi nd work is the civilian version of PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Losing a job – like many did in the reces-sion – is the fi rst trauma followed by the stress of lost in-come, homes and families.

And the answer might lie in applying some of the same techniques used on returning war veterans to those who fi nd themselves on the unemployment line on a chronic basis.

Compared with their city cousins, rural folk will have lot easier time fi guring out where to vote come next pro-vincial election.

The new methodology of mapping the boundaries that excluded those under 18 years plus the addition of three extra seats _ including one riding specifi -cally designed for rural Saskatchewan _ has resulted in little change to provincial rural election map. (That new rural riding is Saskatoon Stonebridge-Dakota, south-east of the city that takes in the bedroom communities in Corman Park, south to Dundurn and Whitecap First Nation and east to Elstow in the old Humboldt riding.)

Democracy watchers may question why there has been so little change in rural Sas-katchewan, even though there has been a substantial population shift since the last major electoral boundaries changes in 1993. So let us a look a little closer at what the new rural ridings look like.

In the southwest, here’s how it looks: Swift Current has become strictly a city seat with no ru-ral component.

Cypress Hills has gotten slightly bigger, expanding east past Simmie and Success right to edge of Swift Current. Wood River has also pushed east, taking in Coronach and Big Beaver from Weyburn-Big Muddy and Climax to the west. And Thunder Creek is gone. It is replaced by Lumsden-Morse that takes in everything north and south of No. 1 Hwy. from Swift Current to Regina (in-cluding everything surrounding Moose Jaw) and dipping as far south as Wilcox, Claybank and Avonlea.

In west-central Saskatchewan, the biggest change is the disappearance of the old Biggar seat. It is replaced by the new Biggar-Sask Valley riding, sprawling west to the Red Pheasant and Mosquito First nations and north-east of Saskatoon to Osler and Hague. Rosetown-Elrose pushes north to the edge of Biggar and loses territory to the east including Conquest and Outlook. Kindersley sees little change, other than losing Unity. Meanwhile

Martensville shrinks, with only Dalmeny and Warman as its other communities.

In the northwest, there is little change except mostly for the exchange of reserves. The Battlefords picks up ru-ral land to the east. Rosthern-Shellbrook loses the Bear-

dy’s Reserve, but picks up Jackfi sh Lake and the Saulteaux Reserve. Cut Knife-Turtleford picks up Unity and Wilkie, but loses the Red Pheasant and Mosquito Reserves. Lloydminster loses Beacon Hill and Big Island to Meadow Lake.

In the northwest, Saskatchewan Rivers sees little change and Carrot River Valley grows to the south to take in Little Swan River. Melfort moves a little further southwest to take in Lake Lenore and St. Brieux from Batoche that also moves a little west to take in Aberdeen and Beardy’s.

Further south in the centre of the province, we see some of the biggest changes to rural seats. Arm River-Watrous becomes Arm River, that spreads from Outlook to the west, Kandahar and Kawacatoose/Day Star Reserves to east and south into the old Thunder Creek riding to take

in Craik, Elbow, Marquis and Bethune. Humboldt is re-placed by Humboldt-Watrous, taking in Watrous, Young and Lanigan. Last Mountain-Touchwood _ the bellweth-er seat that has voted with the government for 70 years except in 1999 and 2003 _ is unchanged.

In east central, Yorkton becomes exclusively a “city” riding while Canora-Pelly is unchanged, except adding a bit of rural Yorkton. Kelvington-Wadena now takes in Wynyard, but is otherwise unchanged. Melville-Salt-coats is also unchanged, except that it, too, has taken in some of rural Yorkton like Otthon and Tonkin.

In the southwest, Moosomin slides further west to Francis and Osage. Cannington remains intact, although it loses Frobisher to Estevan. Estevan loses Radville and Lake Alma back to Weyburn-Big Muddy that has lost Coronach to the Wood River.

But, all in all, there has not been much change to the rural election map _ especially considering how much rural Saskatchewan has changed in the last 20 years.

Dear Editor, Thank you for allowing me to respond to Quebec Liber-

al MP Marc Garneau’s’ fear mongering on Bill C-38 (Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act).

Before I do however, I would like to publicly thank Lib-eral Senator Grant Mitchell for breaking with Garneau’s Liberal Party and supporting our Government’s responsible resource development policy. Since 2006, our Government has been working to streamline the review process for major economic projects. Our efforts have made a difference with-out any negative environmental impact, but more needed to be done.

Currently, companies undertaking major projects must navigate a complex maze of regulatory requirements and processes, and approval processes are long and unpredict-able.

This is why our Government committed to implement-ing Canada’s Economic Action Plan 2012 with our plan for Responsible Resource Development. Key to achieving this goal is our government’s “One Project, One Review” envi-ronmental assessment process.

Economic Action Plan 2012. It is a prudent, long-term plan to grow Canada’s economy, create jobs, and get back to balanced budgets (more information about Economic Action Plan 2012 is available online at www.budget.gc.ca). When discussing this Plan, we must consider it in a global context.

We all know that, with the help of our Government’s Eco-nomic Action Plan, Canada’s economy has performed well relative to other countries in recent years. Job creation in Canada has been the strongest among G-7 countries with over 765,000 net new jobs created since July 2009. Cana-da’s economic growth leads the G-7 as forecasted by inde-pendent organizations such as the IMF and the OECD. Can-ada also has the lowest debt level ratio in the G-7 – by far.

But the global economy remains a different story. In Eu-rope, tremendous economic challenges remain, of which we are reminded all too frequently.

In the United States – our largest trading partner – the economy continues to struggle.

In these uncertain times, Canada’s economic stability de-pends on the implementation of a clear plan to safeguard our economy.

This situation demands Canada not be complacent. We cannot allow political gridlock and instability to stall vital economic and fi scal reforms – as witnessed in the US and Europe.

As the challenges our economy faces are not small or one-dimensional, neither is our plan. Economic Action Plan 2012 is comprehensive and ambitious because it must respond to the magnitude of the threats Canada faces in an uncertain period of global economic turbulence and a rapidly changing global marketplace.

Economic Action Plan 2012 includes numerous measures to create jobs, strengthen our local economies, and position Canada to compete in the global economy now and over the long-term.

Sask canola capturing national attention

BY ALICA OLSON, AGRICULTURE SUMMER STUDENT, NORTH BATTLEFORD, SASKATCHEWAN MINISTRY

OF AGRICULTURE

If you see plants in your fi eld that look different or that seem to be growing abnor-mally, take a closer look as it may be aster yellows.

With the combination of a wet spring, re-cent hot weather, and an abundance of leaf hoppers earlier on, there has been an in-crease in the incidence and the symptoms of aster yellows in many areas.

Aster yellows is a disease caused by a pa-thenogenic micro-organism called a phyto-plasma.

The symptoms of the disease depend on the species of plant. The most obvious symp-toms are the malformed fl owers and pods that give the plant an abnormal appearance (Figure 1). Aster yellows can affect 300 spe-cies of plants in 48 plant families including broadleaf crops, vegetables, ornamentals, weeds and, to a lesser extent, cereal crops. In Saskatchewan the crops that we can see symptoms on include canola, camellia, mus-tard, fl ax, sunfl ower, alfalfa, potato, carrot, tomato, pea, wheat and barley. You may also see various weeds infected with aster yel-lows including redroot pigweed, dandelion, stinkweed, chickweed, quackgrass, wild mustard, lambsquarters, knotweed, and sowthistle.

The phytoplasma pathogen lives in the phloem tissue or the sap of infected plants and is transmitted from plant to plant by leafhoppers. Another source of the patho-gen is from the United States where it can be carried by infected leafhoppers arriving on wind currents.

Leafhoppers acquire the phytoplasma and transmit it to new plants as they feed. They insert their needle-like mouth parts into plant tissue, injecting their saliva, then suck up the sap. It is through their saliva that the aster yellows phytoplasma is transmitted. Leafhoppers do feed on the plant but the feeding itself is not considered an economic threat to the crop, it is the disease transmis-sion that is a concern.

After feeding on an infected plant it takes

two to three weeks before the leafhopper be-come infectious and can pass it on to other plants. The infectious period will last for the remainder of the leafhopper’s adult life (one to three months) in which infected hop-pers can move from fi eld to fi eld spreading aster yellows. Luckily, the phytoplasma is not transmitted to the overwintering eggs. However, the pathogen can overwinter in the root tissue of biennial or perennial crops or weeds thereby providing a source of the disease in early spring.

Once infected, symptom development depends on the age of the plant. Younger plants show symptoms within several days while with older plants it can take two to four weeks. Because of the delayed expres-sion of the disease in plants, symptoms usu-ally appear later in the season and damage is minimal.

In 2007, aster yellow was more prevalent and some Prairie canola fi elds had up to 15 percent infected plants. Potential yield loss is hard to determine as it depends on the lev-el of infection and how early the plant was infected. However, research results at Agri-culture and Agri-Food Canada in Saskatoon have shown that ten percent incidence of infected plants may result in yield losses be-tween three to seven percent.

Symptoms on the plant can vary from completely abnormal looking plants to more normal looking plants that have reduced seed set. Some plants can look normal but the pods are empty. Unfortunately, these symptoms do not appear until late in the season and yields can be disappointing. In most years, fi elds will only show trace amounts of this disease and rarely more than fi ve percent.

Usually economic loss from aster yellows in canola is minimal. In canola, the dam-age usually looks worse than it actually is, because infected plants are usually taller than the rest of the crop canopy with dis-tinctive symptoms and an erect nature. In-fected canola plants are often discoloured with fl owers replaced by green leaf-like structures ad pods becoming deformed and bladder-like in appearance.

It was interesting recently to listen to a brief presentation by Johannes Vervloed, Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

To have someone of Vervloed's stature speaking locally (in Yorkton) was interesting of itself, but the reason for his visit was of greater interest.

While in Saskatchewan, and on his way to Yorkton Verv-loed toured several companies including Milligan Biotech in Foam Lake, and LDM Foods and Grain Millers at York-ton.

It was not coincidence that Vervloed focused quite a bit of his time looking at canola processing here.

Vervloed said he believed there are chances for co-oper-ation, adding they have actively worked on "an inventory of these opportunities."

Clearly one of those opportunities revolved around cano-la.

The visit was to begin to confi rm those opportunities he said adding "the proof of pudding is always in eating it."

In the case of canola Vervloed ex-plained how the European Union has initiated a phase in to 2020 of a 10 per cent use of biofuel in diesel, a man-date which could be met by the use of canola oil.

The idea of canola oil fl owing into biodiesel production is hardly revolu-tionary. It has been one of the driving forces behind higher prices, increased processing, and expanding acres in re-cent years.

While biodiesel has spurred expan-sion for canola, there has been less ac-tual production than one might have

anticipated.The situation is one where the idea of biodiesel has grown

more quickly than implementation of production.The reasons for both are pretty straight forward.

In terms of interest in biodiesel it fi ts with an increased public interest in environmental sustainability.

It also fi ts well with political agendas which call for less reliance on import oil stocks.

The idea of growing oil looks good against the threat of disrupted import sources.

But production of biodiesel has lagged because as canola prices have climbed that has impacted the ability to make a dollar at the production level.

Ultimately biodiesel production must be competitive with traditional oil sources to make sense. At present that is not the case.

Mandated requirements will help push production, but one might argue it is an artifi cial market which runs coun-ter to the true philosophy of sustainability.

However as the biodiesel sector does develop moving forward, canola should benefi t, and connections like those starting to be made between the Saskatchewan canola growing region and the Netherlands are the signs of that.

-BY ERL SVENDSENNow’s not the time to

let your guard down if you want to continue to enjoy the beauty and bounty that you’ve worked so hard for up to now. So here are a few essential tasks (some would say chores, but that’s such an ugly word) to perform throughout August.

The fi rst and foremost

is to ensure all your plants continue to receive adequate water. Thundershowers not-withstanding, August can be very dry and hot. Like people, plants can struggle along with poor nutrition for quite a while, but with-out water, death can occur within a few days. In addi-tion to ensuring metabolic functions continue nor-

mally, water is essential for photosynthesis, cooling, and nutrient uptake. This latter occurs somewhat passively as water, loaded with dis-solved nutrients, is absorbed through the root system. What may appear as nutri-ent defi ciencies (yellow or purple leaves, poor fruit de-velopment, stunted growth, etc.) may simply be a lack of adequate water.

If your plants have just started to wilt, they will re-cover if they receive water immediately. Left too long, they may recover only par-tially, appearing perma-nently wilted, with fl ower buds, blossoms and fruit dropping off. Damage to to-matoes can appear long af-ter the plant has recovered: any fruit that established during the stress period can develop a condition called blossom-end-rot. The fruit may appear normal from the top, but the bottom will be brown and mushy. Other plants like peppers can be affected as well. The easiest way to prevent this disorder is to ensure even soil mois-ture throughout the growing season.

In general, give your lawn and garden 1 inch of water

per week, taking into ac-count anything that falls for free from the sky. It is bet-ter to irrigate deeply infre-quently to encourage deep rooting rather than several short bursts of water. This will help ‘drought-proof’ your plants. Time how long it takes to capture 1 inch of water in a shallow container on the ground when irrigat-ing to gauge how long to run your sprinklers. Don’t forget to keep your compost pile moist to keep it humming along too. And containers need to be watered daily.

Do not fall behind on weeding. Weeds are well adapted to poor growing conditions, are extremely competitive, take advan-tage of open spaces, and are particularly good at repro-duction and establishment. If you let them go to seed, you will be fi ghting a big-ger battle next year. Watch out for winter annual weeds. These are weeds that germi-nate in late summer/early fall (e.g shepherd’s-purse, stinkweed, chickweed, etc.) and overwinter as an ev-ergreen, ready to fl ower in early spring.

Avoid pruning trees and shrubs except to remove dis-eased or damaged branches. Pruning now may stimulate new, succulent growth at a time when the plants should be starting to prepare for winter with current season growth maturing and ceas-ing to grow. Wait until mid-September to do any more maintenance pruning for the year.

Continue to deadhead your ornamental plants. This includes summer fl ow-ering shrubs like spirea and potentilla; give these a very light shear to just remove the spent fl owers. This will do three things. One, it will keep your plants and gar-den looking tidy. Two, it may encourage more fl owering. And three, energy will be directed from producing fruit and seed to sending it the root system to help pe-rennial plants survive our prairie winter. It will also ensure that these plants do not become a weed problem in your garden. The seed-heads of some late fl owering plants like hydrangea can be left to provide winter inter-est.

Finally, as you begin to harvest your vegetable gar-den and create open spaces, consider planting anoth-er crop of spinach, Swiss chard, beets (for the greens), lettuce or radish.

SaskPower reminds cus-tomers of ways they can pro-tect themselves from carbon monoxide in their homes and businesses, in light of several recent incidents in

the province involving the deadly gas.

“The fi rst thing cus-tomers should do is make sure any gas appliances like water heaters or ranges

are serviced and operat-ing properly,” said Douglas Hird, Senior Engineer of Gas Codes and Standards for SaskPower. “In two re-cent incidents, portable air conditioning units were in-stalled incorrectly, so there was a continuous exhaust of the warm air to the outside without an air pipe to bring in fresh air.”

This condition is known as “depressurization” and occurs when inside air is ex-hausted faster than outside fresh air can come in. Exces-sive depressurization will cause a natural draft water heater to backdraft, spilling carbon monoxide into the

home. “Natural draft water

heaters and furnaces need suffi cient fresh air,” said Hird. “Customers need to make sure there is a prop-erly functioning fresh air in-take installed. Fresh air in-takes can become clogged or they are sometimes blocked by homeowners who are unaware of their important purpose.”

To help alert customers to the presence of carbon monoxide, SaskPower rec-ommends the installation of carbon monoxide detec-tors. Look for a detector that is listed with the Ca-nadian Standards Associa-tion (CSA) or the Underwrit-ers Laboratory of Canada (ULC). Check the expiry date on detectors as they need to be replaced periodically.

While detectors are a good safety backup, they aren’t a proper substitute for regular maintenance of home heat-ing and cooling equipment.

SaskPower has devel-oped a series of safety bro-chures that contain infor-mation about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. This information is available at all SaskPower

I am happy to report Saskatchewan’s economy is strong and growing. Recently released wholesale trade numbers for May show an increase of 13.2 per cent this year, the third highest growth rate in Canada. This increase in wholesale trade builds con-fi dence in our business community, provides employment and contributes to the overall success of Saskatchewan.

Another encouraging trend is our in-crease in exports. In May, Saskatchewan’s exports totaled $2.8 billion, up 19.8 per cent from last year. We exceeded the national average according to Statistics Canada, and had the second highest gain among the provinces. On a special note, Saskatch-ewan’s energy and agricultural products led the exports numbers; they were up 35.1 per cent and 14.1 per cent respectively.

All of this econom-ic growth provides the people of Saskatch-ewan new employ-ment opportunities. Our latest employ-ment numbers show that 548,900 people are working in Sas-katchewan; this is the highest employment number on record for the second straight month. It’s great to see so many people working to build their future here in Sas-

katchewan. Saskatchewan has been blessed with

amazing growth; with this growth comes the responsibility to ensure our natural re-sources are there for the next generation. One of the most im-portant resources we have is water. To that end, our government is working to create a 25 Year Water Security Plan. This plan will provide an effective water management strategy, which will deal with the challeng-es created by growth, while ensuring safe, sustainable supplies

of water now and into the future. This fall, Integrated Water Saskatchewan, will be the new agency responsible for the implementa-tion of the 25 Year Water Security Plan. This agency will bring together water manage-ment expertise from the public and private sector.

This pooling of expertise will increase our water management capacity and provide strong leadership on water related issues throughout the province. We will see a one window approach for water-related issues that will benefi t both individuals and busi-nesses.

This consultation document is available on the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority website at www.swa.ca, and all citizens are encouraged to provide comments before the end of August.

SaskPower reminds customers of carbon monoxide risks

Continued from page 7We are starting to see aster yellows show-

ing up in fi elds in Saskatchewan. This is not surprising given that leafhoppers were re-ported in high numbers this spring with a higher than average infection rate reported by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Un-fortunately, there is nothing to fi x the situ-ation. There are no products registered to control the disease itself and no varieties with resistance. Once the symptoms appear there is nothing that can be done to reverse the infection or kill the organism. Ways to

minimize the potential for aster yellow in-fection for future years include seed early, control perennial weeds in and around sus-ceptible crops, avoid planting near perenni-al crops that are known to be infected, and watch for the presence of leaf hoppers. Ap-plication of an insecticide registered for use on leafhoppers may be benefi cial if popula-tions are high enough early in the season.

For more information contact your Re-gional Crops Specialist at 1-306-446-7475 or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre in Moose Jaw at 1-866-457-2377.

Government to review brandsAdvisory Committee Formed to Look at

More Effi cient Brand Inspection Services for Producers

Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart today appointed an advisory committee, made up of livestock industry representatives, to examine industry-led delivery options for livestock brand inspection services in Sas-katchewan.

The Brand Inspection Services Advisory Committee will study the current brand in-spection models in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, review options for industry-led brand inspection and recom-mend a preferred option to the Minister of Agriculture.

Brand inspection services in Saskatch-ewan are currently delivered through Min-

istry of Agriculture livestock inspectors. The service is provided to ensure that animals offered for sale are rightfully owned and verifi ed through a brand registry. The role of government in verifying ownership of live-stock is unique in Saskatchewan.

No other agricultural commodity is pur-chased or sold in the province with a gov-ernment service to verify ownership. Stew-art said the group will look at all options including an integrated western Canadian approach. Alberta, for example, currently has an industry-led and delivered brand in-spection system.

The advisory committee will conduct comprehensive analysis and stakeholder consultations and fi nalize a recommenda-tion by early 2013.

As part of the province’s continued efforts to improve access to high-quality pa-tient care, Health Minister Dustin Duncan announced $9.83 million in funding for a new program to encourage and reward family physi-cians in providing patients with a full range of services.

“Physicians are vital part-ners as we transform our health system to better meet patients’ needs, including improving access to health care,” Duncan said.

“As part of our agreement with the Saskatchewan Medical Association, I am pleased to introduce the Family Physician Compre-hensive Care Program to recognize family physicians who provide patients with a full range of primary care services, while at the same time encouraging more physicians to expand their practices to full comprehen-sive care.”

Physicians who qualify for the program monitor the overall health of their patients, collaborate with other health care providers

on their care, and manage their patients’ chronic dis-eases. In addition, qualify-ing physicians are caring for their patients when they are hospitalized, in a nursing home, or having a baby.

“We know from other high-performing health systems that when patients are provided comprehen-sive primary care services, such as chronic disease management, their health and satisfaction with the service improves - and this approach is consistent with our focus on patient- and family-centred health care,” Duncan said.

“This program will im-prove access to medical ser-vices for the people of Sas-katchewan,” SMA President Dr. Janet Shannon said.

Fifty-eight per cent of Saskatchewan’s family phy-sicians currently provide their patients with a full range of services, as defi ned by the Family Physician Comprehensive Care Pro-gram.

This new program is de-signed to increase the num-

ber of family physicians who provide continuity of care to their patients through com-prehensive services, reduc-ing the need for patients to seek uncoordinated, epi-

sodic care. For example, it is hoped more physicians will manage their patients’ chronic diseases according to accepted care guidelines.

As well as improving ac-

cess to health services, the program aligns with Saskatchewan’s recently announced initiative to strengthen its primary health care system. The goal

of the initiative is achieving a primary health care model that is sustainable, offers a superior patient experience and ensures better access to services.

Saskatchewan Roughriders full of surprises

One of the most amazing things about the recent Canadian women’s amateur golf championship in Lethbridge — besides the incredible 14-under-par score over four rounds posted by the champ, Ariya Juta-nugarn of Thailand — was the utter domi-nance by teenagers.

This was the Canadian women’s amateur, not the junior women’s.

Of the top fi ve, the elder stateswoman was a South Dakota player, Kimberley Kaufman, the only one of legal age to enjoy a cool post-round beer. She’s 20. Just call her ‘Granny.”

Jutanugarn is a 16-year-old phenom well known in the world of women’s golf, where she’s the world’s No. 1-ranked amateur. She’s a year or two away from the LPGA Tour, where she will take on the world’s best alongside her sister, Moriya, who is 17. Moriya fi nished second at Lethbridge, with a nine-under-par score.

Angel Yin of California fi nished fourth, and she’s 13. We’ll repeat, this is the wom-en’s amateur.

Just in case you thought the world of young teenaged phenoms was limited to Thailand and the United States, think again. The top Canadian fi nisher was Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont. She fi nished fi fth and she’s only 14 years old.

Imagine that! Canada’s best women’s ama-teur golfer is 14! With Canada’s footprint on the LPGA tour about as weak these days as it has ever been — Lori Kane and Alena Sharp stand 76th and 89th respectively in tour

earnings — golf fans in this coun-try might have to wait another six or seven years for Henderson to lend some legitimate Maple Leaf presence to the LPGA.

“Even at fi ve years of age you could see that she (Brooke) was special,” her pro, Paulin Vaillan-court, told Globe and Mail colum-nist Roy McGregor.

“Even on cold, rainy days when no one else would be out here she’d be here hitting balls. She has just an incredible work ethic.”

Henderson’s youthful talent is not an anomaly among the top Canadians.

Second-, third- and fourth-highest fi nish-ing Canadians at the national championship were girls aged 17, 21 and 19.

All it means is that Canadian girls are catching up to the rest of the world, where American Lexi Thompson, 17, is the next big thing, and 12-year-olds in South Korea are black sheep of their families if they’re not regularly shooting under par.

While the Jutanugarns are slam-dunk stars-to-be in women’s golf, here’s hoping Henderson can keep pace. Goodness knows she has youth on her side.

• Blogger Bill Littlejohn, on why the World Toe Wrestling Championships weren't broadcast: "They weren't wired for Digital TV."

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chron-

icle: “They should've had Keith Richards light the Olympic fl ame by fl icking a cigarette butt.”

• Ostler, second of three in a row: “Second-guessing: To de-clare the Olympics open, why didn't they let Mick and Keith play ‘Start Me Up’?”

• Ostler’s hat trick: “The Chi-nese wore great outfi ts. I heard they were made in Connecticut.”

• From TC in BC: “In an at-tempt to generate more revenue, NBA jerseys will feature small ad patches next season. This will open the doors to The Chicago

Red Bulls, Orlando Magic Kingdom, Denver McNuggets, LA Frosted Flakers & Sacra-mento Burger Kings. Personally. I’d like to see The Houston Rocket Scientists.”

• R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A Scot-tish brewery has released Never Mind the Anabolics, a beer with eight illegal, perfor-mance-enhancing ingredients and high al-cohol content. Or as a Detroit Lion calls it, a real time-saver.”

• Currie again: “Tour de France cyclist Frank Schleck has tested positive for a banned diuretic. That sort of thing usually gets you in the end.”

• Currie’s hat-trick crack: “In case you missed it, Ultimate Fighting has come to Calgary. And no, we don’t mean Rider fans in the McMahon Stadium beer lines.”

• David Whitley, FanHouse: “Too much

is always made of the headaches Olympic visitors must endure. As long as the bus de-livering the Dream Team doesn’t get lost, Americans’ biggest worry is Bob Costas will develop laryngitis and NBC will sub-lease Chris Berman.”

• British golfer Lee Westwood, to the Van-couver (B.C.) Sun, on why he's moving his family to Florida: "The English winters and the English summers."

• A quick one from Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Kobe Bryant said his U.S. basketball teammates should have their citizenship revoked if they don't bring home the Olympic gold medal. ‘Hey, come up with your own material,’ said the Iraqi Sports Minister.”

• Budd Bailey of the Buffalo News, on the anonymity of Olympic athletes before and after the Games: “If the Americans do well, they make some money right after the Games on a tour at an arena near you, and then we spectators get ready for the next NFL game.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post on the Knicks not signing one-month wonder Jeremy Lin to a long-term contract after he became a free agent and signed with Hous-ton: “Geez, that would be like “Happy Days” getting rid of Fonzie after a half-season.

Well you have to hand it to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. They have surprised us in each and ev-ery one of their fi rst fi ve games of the 2012 CFL sea-son. The trouble is it hasn't always been a pleasant surprise.

The Green & White played pretty much error-free, airtight football in their opening three games on the way to a 3-0 record. It was unreasonable to expect they would play at such a high level the rest of the way but the way the last two weeks have gone is utterly fl abbergasting.

The Riders blew a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter in Calgary in Week 4 and lost 41-38 in overtime. Rider coach Corey Chamblin vowed that wouldn't happen again but the very next game, this past Saturday at home, the Riders built up a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter against Hamilton only to eventually lose 35-34.

WHAT??This football team is thisclose to being 5-0 and being

the toast of Canadian football yet they're mired at 3-2

along with four other teams."Of course you never like to lose a

game in any fashion," Chamblin told us after the game. "There's things we need to reassess and we can't have those second half slides. When turn-overs happened, and the long pass to Giguere, fi eld position changed. Those are all part of a game."

Yah but they're in fi rst-place going into the bye!

Sorry, that's small consolation. A false positive.

The biggest concern is they seem to be without the answers for why they can't stop anybody in the fourth quarter. The heat is on quarterback Darian Durant however his offence has put up 38 and 34 points in the past two losses. That's enough to win you games.

Durant is directly responsible for the club's three turnovers the past two weeks yet where are the take-aways? It's a team game and quite frankly while Du-rant is fi ne with assuming his share of the blame, there's plenty of blame to go around.

What alarms this blogger is that the Riders were un-able to follow up Chamblin's promise that a giant late-game collapse wouldn't happen again. That's proof the coach can't control everything but his anger and be-wilderment after the game shows he's as frustrated as everyone else. Still, as a good coach does, he's keeping his head up.

"The positive is we go into the break a winning team but there are things we have to fi x," Chamblin rea-soned. "We didn't panic but we have to get guys off these emotional swings. We have to continue to learn how to fi nish. 42 men need to step up and play hard-nosed football."

It's all part of a young team growing up together but when you think about what could of been, it keeps you up all night.

Public input sought on the future of electronic

heath recordseHealth Saskatchewan is inviting residents of Saskatch-

ewan to visit a website to learn more about electronic health records and participate in a short survey to answer ques-tions about what type of electronic services would be useful to them.

“We are emerging into a world of huge possibilities in technology allowing people access and information to em-power them to be an active partner and decision maker in care options with their health provider or in managing the care of a loved one,” eHealth Saskatchewan CEO Susan An-tosh said. “This survey will help us determine what’s impor-tant to Saskatchewan residents and if they even desire things like access to their own medical test results, for example.”

“We have made a great effort to ensure we are putting the patient fi rst in our health care system, and that includes their electronic health information,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “It’s important that we know what the patient or caregiver needs and wants in that technology and that will be of the most value to them

Eventually every person in Saskatchewan will have an electronic health record (EHR) that is a private, lifetime record of their medical information, which will provide au-thorized health care professionals with immediate access to test results, past treatments and medication profi les.

Currently, some of the infrastructure already in place, or under development, which will feed into the informa-tion for the EHR includes a Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving Communication System (RIS/PACS), RIS/PACS is a data system that captures diagnostic images such as x-rays, CTs, ultrasounds, MRIs and Mammography that can be accessed by clinicians from anywhere in the province. The Pharmacy Information Program includes in-formation about prescriptions fi lled within Saskatchewan community pharmacies, and more recently, the Saskatche-wan Lab Results Repository was created to allow health care providers to view lab test results for patients.

Information collected through the surveys, combined with feedback being gathered through health sector work-shops taking place over the summer, will help shape the fu-ture of electronic health records in Saskatchewan.

“I encourage people to take the time to do the survey as it will help to ensure priorities for EHR are aligned with patient and family-centred care,” Antosh said.

The survey can be found at the eHealth Saskatchewan public engagement website at www.ehealth-sk.ca and will be available until midnight on September 7.

eHealth Saskatchewan is the Treasury Board Crown Corporation responsible for planning and building a pro-vincial EHR and supporting and maintaining electronic sys-tems that make up the electronic network for the all health regions and health stakeholders in the province.

Now the time's come to bid you adieu

To my friends; lots old and some new

Though I hate to depart, down deep in my heart

I know it's the right thing to do.

Miss you all, yes I will

But my new place

just fi ts the billNo more cooking

or cleaningThe time I'll be

gleaningCan be spent in

remembering you.Thank you to

all who organized and attended my farewell at the Golf Course. I was sent off in grand style.

- Norma Cornwell

We extend our deepest apprecia-tion and gratitude to the following: The Leask Volunteer Fire Department for holding the fi re that destroyed our home at bay, so we could salvage a few precious memen-toes; Guy Cadrain for supplying water to the pumpers; Marge, Rodney & Theone, Danny & Joanne, Ray & Jeanette, Sam, Bill

& Eileen, Andy & Connie, Clint & Dorothy, Herb & Marcie, Marvin & Sylvia for the care packages; Diane for making that emer-gency run to town so Spook would be comfortable; Devon & Dillon for opening the coffee creamer; Andy, Boyd, Don and Marvin for getting the camper hooked up; Ron, Marvin, John & Bruce for getting the water going; Bill & Eileen for feeding the troops fresh buns & burgers. - Barry & Carol.

We would like to thank all our family and friends for the support, kindnessand thoughtfulness during the sad loss of our mother and grandmother Edith Schlichemeyer. For

the kind care given to mom/grandma during her stay we want to give a special thank you to the staff at Leask Wheatland Lodge and Larry & Jean-nette Prefontaine and their staff. Heartfelt thanks to Pastor Chris Dean, Hawryluk Funeral Home, the Leask

Legion #79 and the Catholic Church ladies for the lovely lunch. To everyone who sent cards, donations, fl owers, food and in any way helped before and after mom's passing we cannot express our appreciation enough.- The Edith Schli-chemeyer Family

VAUGHAN - In loving memory of Denny, 1976 - 1994.

INDELIBLE Without intending, we came together, unknowing that in a short period our lives would blend to giving part of ourselves to each other.

Now, we leave, no longer able to remove the impact thus experienced. You have become a part of me that I cannot erase, what I carry now is there forever.- Miss you Denny, wish you were here! Love Marcy.
