On a basic level, the Food is Free movement is about giving people food. But Stacey Tress, who is bringing the movement to Yorkton, says it’s about more than that. She says that it’s about building com-munity, and wants other people to get on board and offer up the food they can give to others.

The project began in Austin, Texas in 2012, with the goal being to

start offering food to people from the front yard, whether doing it from a front yard gar-den or from a produce stand that is set up in the yard.

“They’re trying to create a community and bring people together when there’s an abun-dance to share. So they’ve inspired 200 cit-ies worldwide now.”

The goal is to set up for little to no cost, the stand is made of sal-vaged materials and the food itself is from gar-dens, whether they are

your own or those of your neighbors. The program also encourag-es a front yard garden, which Tress also has established, and encour-ages growing organic.

The idea is that it gives away food, but Tress says that she believes it’s more about meeting people and inspiring others in some way.

“The concept and the idea is that it generates so much more. It’s sup-posed to be food, but you start making con-nections within the

community.” Tress has seen exam-

ples of this in her own stand, as her neighbors have used her stand to give out some of their produce, and as a result has met more neighbors than she would have otherwise.

“Food connects us.”It’s not a new idea

Tress says, as sharing abundance with neigh-bors has always been something people do. Instead, it’s new way of doing an old idea, embracing social media to get the word out and

meet your neighbors.“One of my friends

had commented that their dad had been giv-ing away produce for years, and that’s just it, so have we.”

The difference with Food is Free is that it uses social media to spread information about what’s going on, who has stands where they are giving away produce as well as put-ting together informa-tion for local gardeners. Tress has also used her Food is Free stand to post information about

compost workshops in the city as well as gar-dening articles.

“Let’s find out who’sdoing what and where, and bring everybody together at a central page that people can find.”

Tress has been heav-ily involved in food proj-ects within Yorkton for a number of years, and the Food is Free projectis another way of get-ting involved with thecity’s food needs and gardening community.

The summer months are a time for summer projects, whether large scale projects or small yard improvements such as fences or driveways. Sask 1st Call was in the city to remind people to call before they dig.

Reg Welsh with Sask 1st Call was going around to talk to contractors and equipment rental busi-nesses to reinforce the need to call and get line locates before they do any excavation.

“It’s important to have a safe work site and a safe environment for the public. It’s to prevent costly repairs and dam-age to equipment and the surrounding area, but most of all to prevent injury or maybe even death.”

It’s something that is important to do no matter the size of the project, Welsh says, so long as excavation is occurring the line locates are need-ed.

“Any excavation being done in your yard, and the same as contractors on site, wherever it is. They should be calling Sask 1st Call before exca-vation takes place.

It’s also a free service, which means there is lit-tle excuse not to call.

Welsh also notes that if someone doesn’t call and runs into lines, they’re liable for the damage which they cause in the

process, so avoiding the free call could get expen-sive as well as dangerous.

The locates will hap-pen within two working

days, and are good for ten days. They point out any lines running under-ground that are regis-tered with the service,

whether that means crown corporations or companies like Embridge.

Putting a call in can be done in several ways,

whether by phone at 1 (866) 828-4888, online at www.sask1stcall.com or by using their app for Android or iOS phones.

Reminding people to call before they dig

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG, that’s the message behind Sask 1st Call, which has been going around the province reminding contractors and home-owners to call before they dig. Reg Walsh with Sask 1st Call says that it’s a free call that needs to be done so people don’t run into lines.

It’s rare that some-one has the chance to see a Rover P3.

Just under ten thou-sand were made total, but very few were made in left hand drive, fewer still survived into the modern era.

Bob Bartch of Sturgis, Sk. says he knows of three, and he has one of them, a 1949 model which he brought to the Painted Hand Casino Show and Shine.

Bartch first bought the car in 1969 in Vancouver from his uncle. He bought it with a hunting rifle and three hundred dol-lars, which was all that he had.

“I fell in love with it... I left Vancouver with $35 in my pocket, a bag of egg salad sand-wiches that my aunt made and two cans of gas in the trunk. I made it to Moose Jaw before I was broke... It took four days to get through the mountains, it would overheat.”

He’s had to build it three times, the third coming after the car had left him for 20 years and he found it again as a wreck in Lipton.

Bringing it back to life took five years, though Bartch admits that there’s still work he wants to do.

“You’re never done... It’s a passion, it’s all I can say.”

Finding parts for a rare car is never easy, especially once it has been out of production for over 60 years.

Bartch hasapproached this prob-lem with ingenuity, finding unexpected ways to make the car work.

General Motors makes up the majority of the replacement parts, including the

entire drivetrain which includes a 327 V8, but the steering is from a Dodge Dakota, the seat upholstery and tail-light lenses are from a Mercury Topaz, and some trim pieces aren’t from cars at all.

“The grille was smashed up, so I made a new one out of old TV antennas. They were aluminum so I welded them in.”

Bartch did his own bodywork, including widening the fenders so it could accommodate the new running gear. When it comes to mak-ing his own parts, he says it’s just necessary since there’s so little original left from Rovers in the era.

Many parts can’t be found, so then you have to improvise, even if that means carving your own door trim or making your own turn signal lenses.

Parts also disinte-grate after a while, making restoration impossible.

“I had the clock, but it was wrecked. I took it apart to see if I could just get the face redone, and it just came apart in my hands.”

It’s Bartch’s first time at the Yorkton Show and Shine, as he mostly keeps around the Sturgis area. However, he was told

about the event from someone he met while fishing in northern Manitoba, and says he’s impressed by what he saw in the commu-nity, and the range of what people brought out to the event.

Creative use of parts keeps old Rover alive

BOB BARTCH has rebuilt this 1949 Rover P3 three times since buying it in 1969. It was one of the cars on display at the Painted Hand Casino Show and Shine, which also included varied models like muscle cars, ‘50s luxury models and recent imports.

RESTORE CELEBRATES – The Yorkton Habitat for Humanity ReStore celebrated its first anniversary recently, with a barbecue to commemorate successfully raising money to build Habitat homes. Manager Merv Catchuk says it has been a truly amazing year, with exceptional donations from the community at large. “It was a way to take product that people would usually throw into the dump, recycle it, offer it to sale to the general public, and any of the proceeds go back into building, help-ing to support the fund to build more homes.”

“A lot of the stuff I’ve done within the com-munity over the years, whether it’s the Prairie Sun Seed Festival, on the board of the Assiniboine Food Security Alliance or other projects I’ve been involved in, has been to inspire. Inspire com-munity, I’m a huge sup-porter of local foods,

local farmers, local gar-deners, local farmer’s markets and garden-er’s markets. It all con-nects together, this is another way to support local food.”

Saskatoon has been the rumored home of pro-fessional sports teams for years, down to when the St. Louis Blues were anticipated to be setting up in the city in the 1980s – an event I learned about through a commemorative bumper sticker on a used car. Now, finally, the city will be get-ting pro sports. It’s the National Lacrosse League that will be coming to the city, with the Edmonton Rush making the move down the Yellowhead.

Saskatoon is always a theoretically appealing location for sports, if only because it’s a market that is not really served otherwise. There are good college programs in the Huskies, and junior hockey with the Blades, but there’s nothing at a higher level. It’s a hole in the market, a gap that could theoretically be filled by something. The strength of Saskatoon is that it could work as a provincial hub for whatever sport it would host, the market is actually much bigger than the population of the city itself.

The big example of this is Regina and the CFL. Ignoring the awful start to the 2015 season, the Roughriders work because they are a provincial team, not a Regina team – it’s no coincidence that the province itself is a prominent part of the team’s name. People make the trip from every corner of this big trapezoid to watch football in

Regina, it’s considered a provincial point of pride, which is a pretty great marketing gimmick. It’s also a necessary marketing gimmick, because Regina by itself couldn’t otherwise sustain a team – it needs the entire provincial market to work.

Lacrosse, for whatever reason, does not enjoy the same national presence as football, but a Saskatoon team would be banking on the same effect, and the Rush will be called the Saskatchewan Rush for the same reason. It would be the best lacrosse in the province, and the team needs that provincial pride. It likely isn’t going to draw Rider numbers, it’s also not really expected to, but does need to get fans from everywhere into the city.

The former Edmonton Rush also set up the

city with an advantage if they are going to be a draw. The team is good, or at least was good last season, given that they’re the most recent league champions. That means you don’t get the teeth-ing pains of an expansion team. You’re not going to have to stick through a couple seasons of a team finding its footing, Edmonton already did that for you, now you can enjoy top level lacrosse. The ability to win is always a good sign for a sports team, even if it couldn’t save it in Edmonton itself.

Then again, while Saskatoon is theoretically appealing, we’re heading into uncharted territo-ry. The city is unproven in a lot of ways, and there are sports it just doesn’t support – baseball can’t survive there, the rotting carcasses of failed teams litter the parks – and lacrosse would be a new experiment for the city to take on. There’s no indication of whether this is going to be proof that Saskatoon can handle professional sports or if it’ll be a warning to other teams contemplating setting up in the city.

If you want Saskatoon to have a pro sports team, you have to support this lacrosse team, its success is the only way that city is going to get anything else. It’s going to be part of the case for or against any future expansion.

Health Minister Dustin Duncan, Saskatchewan Government and General Employees’ Union (SGEU) and three health regions – Kelsey Trail, Mamawetan Churchill River, and Keewatin Yatthé – signed a partner-ship agreement on January 12, 2015, as part of a shared commitment to patient first care and health system transformation.

“Health care workers are key partners in our efforts to improve access to safe, quality care for Saskatchewan people,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “This new partnership recognizes our shared commitment to putting patients first as we work toward transforming our health care system.”

“SGEU looks forward to partnering with the health regions and provincial government to provide a better care environment for patients, improved working environment for our mem-bers and as a forum to address the unique chal-lenges of our rural and northern areas,” SGEU’s Health Provider Bargaining Unit Chair Bonnie Erickson said.

“We are excited about the opportunity to build our relationships with SGEU and look forward to working together in exploring new and innovative ways to improve patient care,” Kelsey Trail Health Region’s Vice President of Health Safety and Culture Lyle Bittman said, on behalf of the health regions. “This partner-ship will enhance our ability to proactively address questions and challenges with health care delivery in our regions.”

Since the partnership was signed on January 12, the parties have worked together to estab-lish a Terms of Reference and will continue working together on common areas of interest, including:

•promoting a culture of safety;•increasing employee engagement;•continuously improving the health system

in a manner that supports the principles of Better Health, Better Care, Better Value and Better Teams;

•discussing options to enhance the ability to provide quality health care; and

•stabilizing employee turnover, thereby increasing patients’ continuity of care.

SGEU represents approximately 2,000 health care workers who provide a wide range of services in acute care facilities, long-term care homes, home care and community health services.

The common refrain is that the advent of social media is pulling people apart. You hear it all the time, people spend too much time looking at their phones, or there is more time spent talking to people through text than there is talking to people face to face. Instead of lamenting the advent of technol-ogy like old men shaking their fists at the skies, it’s a better choice to look at what social media can do.

Take the Food is Free Project; it’s a project that, without social media, would be limited to the town where it was founded. More accurately, it would be limited to the street on which it started. The concept of giving away food is an old concept, a way for neighbors to find excuses to go visit and be social. It couldn’t be considered a movement, though, because it was strictly local, and spreading the message on a large scale was something that wouldn’t happen.

That’s not to say trends didn’t exist in years past, or that ideas couldn’t catch on far beyond their place of origin. The differ-ence is that this is a quick and easy way for small scale, low budget movements to start to gain traction. An idea from Texas is now an idea in Yorkton, and then could spread somewhere else entirely.

What has been invented is an online equivalent to the old cof-fee shops, billboards and church meetings that used to define community living and event cov-erage. The difference is that it’s a method that transcends the relatively limited reach of those methods. Everything listed above was limited to within the community, so while someone could start a food giveaway and tell their coffee shop friends in the old days, now they can tell the entire community immedi-ately, updating people on prog-ress even if they’re not going to see them at the local haunts.

That is not to say social media is a replacement for regular, face-to-face interaction, because it is not. Ask Stacey Tress herself and she’ll say she wants to see more people meeting in person and building community that way. If anything, social media is a way to introduce people, but then they have to start meeting outside of the online sphere. But it’s still a way of connecting peo-ple who might otherwise be unfamiliar with each other.

It’s no use to lament the way the modern world has changed, because we have to live in it. Instead, if we want to build con-nections, community and bring people together, we need to use the modern world to our advan-tage. Food is Free is a good example of how people can use that technology to foster more organic interaction. You need to visit a Food is Free booth, but you find out about it online, it’s both kinds of interaction.


To the Editor:

While using care-ful language, Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz confirmed last week what most Canadians could already feel in their daily lives. Another recession is hob-bling this country and Stephen Harper’s eco-nomic “plan” has failed.

The official definition of “recession” is two consecutive calendar quarters when the econ-omy shrinks. Governor Poloz says there was a “contraction” of 0.6 per cent through January, February and March of this year, followed by fur-ther shrinkage of 0.5 per cent in April, May and June.

The government can no longer deny that hard reality.

Significantly, Canada is the only G7 country to be suffering such a relapse. So much for Mr. Harper’s vain boast that we’re doing better than the rest of the world.

Governor Poloz is hoping for some recov-ery over the next six months, but he is slash-ing his forecast of annual growth for the whole of 2015 from 1.9 per cent down to just 1.1 per cent - cutting it almost in half. He has also trimmed his growth projection for next year, while postpon-ing any expectation of full economic recovery

into 2017.In the short run, using

the calculations spelled out in the government’s own 2015 budget, an annual economic growth rate as low as 1.1 per cent surely eliminates any claim that the Harper Conservatives have balanced their books. Their deficit continues, and thus their rationale for big tax breaks for wealthier households has been destroyed.

So in real life, what does all this mean?

For middle class fam-ilies and all those trying to get to the middle class, a “no growth” economy means sluggish employ-ment, weak and sporadic job creation and poor job quality.

It means stagnant incomes, ballooning con-sumer debts and serious concerns about making ends meet.

A stalled or shrink-ing economy causes families to worry about the affordability of their housing and the costs of post-secondary educa-tion for their kids. It makes it harder to put money aside for retire-ment. And worsens inequality.

Perhaps most troub-ling, a majority of Canadians now doubt that their children will be able to do as well as their parents. Our usual expectation of progress - of upward mobility,

almost automatically, from one generation to the next - has been eroded.

All this has happened on Stephen Harper’s watch.

To obscure his failure, he always blames the 2008 recession (which ended six years ago), and then he blames the Americans and the Chinese and even the Greeks - any scapegoat he can find.

But more serious than his denial of responsibil-ity is Mr. Harper’s claim that Canadians are help-less victims of circum-stances beyond all con-trol. There is nothing different or better to do, he says. We just have to hunker down, and keep following his “plan” - a plan that has clear-ly failed. What a dis-mal prospect. Canada deserves better.

To begin with, the fed-eral government needs to stop contradicting the Bank of Canada.

By cutting interest rates twice this year, Governor Poloz is push-ing a pro-growth mon-etary policy, while the Harper regime insists on going in the opposite dir-ection of restrictive fiscal policy, reducing aggre-gate demand.

Such incoherence is untenable.

To help growth, the hodge-podge of existing programs to offset the

high costs of raising chil-dren should be consoli-dated, remodelled and enhanced. We need a new “Canada Child Benefit” - one that’s more generous, linked to income, indexed and non-taxable. That way,

you can provide more support to 9-out-of-10 families, boosting their spending power. It’s also more fair and greater fairness is good for growth.

Also helpful would be a substantial tax rate reduction on incomes in the middle class bracket ($45k - $90k).

The federal govern-ment should also invest more in public and community infrastruc-ture (which the federal Finance Department itself says is the single most cost-effective way to generate immediate growth and jobs), plus better access to post-sec-ondary education, higher learning and advanced skills, and a big leap for-ward in Canadian sci-ence, technology and innovation.

These are just some of the alternatives that would be distinctly bet-ter than Mr. Harper’s recession. Canadians don’t need to be as help-less or as vulnerable as Mr. Harper has made us.

To the Editor:

His argument, however, hits the mark on so many points

CALGARY, AB/ Troy Media/ – Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall stoked the fires of western aliena-tion when he suggested this week that equalization dol-lars should be sent to Ontario and Quebec in a pipeline.

Make no mistake, these comments struck a deep chord in the West. After all, the western Canadian identity was forged in the concept of western aliena-tion – the idea that Canada’s four western provinces have been excluded from the affairs of mainstream Canadian politics to the benefit of Ontario and Quebec.

Wall’s argument hits the mark on so many points.First, he was right to remind us that western

Canadian provinces should not rush to take economic advice from jurisdictions like Ontario and Quebec, which have not found a way themselves to maintain global competitiveness while occupying the moral high ground. More appreciation of the West’s contribution and less moralizing would be a welcome change.

Second, Ontario and Quebec (and, for that matter, British Columbia) should not be hijacking the fed-eration by placing conditions on the development of oil sands and pipelines. Natural resources are squarely within provincial jurisdiction and the production and transportation of such goods should not be derailed by those seeking economic concessions (or more wealth transfer). Accepting this highway robbery could lit-erally destroy Canada as a trading nation.

Third, provinces do not have the constitutional authority to stop pipelines. The decision is fully within the federal government’s purview. However, as Wall knows, politics matter (especially with a federal elec-tion approaching). It was politics that allowed Wall to prevent the BHP Billiton takeover of the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan in 2010. In fairness, Wall acknowledged that this was a federal decision and at no point suggested Saskatchewan would not comply with the decision if it had gone against him.

It is easy for Wall – a true statesman with a deft populist touch – to stoke the fires of western alienation at a time when western Canadian economic interests seem to be under siege by central Canada. However, it would be wrong to suggest that western Canada’s interests will not be well–served by thoughtful action to address climate change.

The story is now well understood. Oil producers in western Canada lack meaningful access to global mar-kets. They are forced to sell into the North American market at a significant discount to global prices. This reduces investment, royalties and taxes that would provide public goods, like education and healthcare to all Canadians.

The desire to block access is motivated, in large part, by the belief that Canada has been inactive on climate change. Yes, Alberta and Saskatchewan have taken some steps to address climate change. Yes, they have focused on technological solutions like carbon capture and storage (which could be used in countries like China and India where the real global emissions battle will be waged). But, in a Canadian context, Alberta and Saskatchewan account for nearly half of GHG emissions – and each province has a responsibility to do more.

But, let’s not fall into the trap of this being a zero-sum game. Pricing carbon in western Canada does not need to result in a large wealth transfer to cen-tral Canada. This is part of the benefit of provinces developing their own systems – as opposed to Ottawa imposing a one-size-fits-all system. A well-designed sys-tem can also protect trade exposed industries and make sure we are not simply exporting emissions to jurisdic-tions with less stringent (or non–existent) environ-mental policies. And, yes, an agreement between prov-inces on climate may clear the political barriers that are halting pipelines.

As our premiers seek agreement on a path forward on energy and the environment in St. John’s this week, they would do well to remember that the interests of Canadians are aligned on this issue. There is a time to stoke the fires of western alienation. This is not it.

Now is the time to demonstrate that provinces are capable of working together to advance Canadian inter-ests. If provinces want to lead, they should do so.

Trevor McLeod is the Director of the Centre for Natural Resources Policy at the Canada West Foundation.

To the Editor:

This week, I shared in the grief and frustration of Floyd Head’s family. Floyd had a heart attack in his home just a half a block away from the Preeceville Hospital, but it took seven hours to get him to Regina – too late to save his life.

That’s because the Preeceville Hospital, like so many others throughout the province, was locked. In June, the government shut down the Preeceville emer-gency room every second week, putting it on “bypass” in alter-nate weeks, forbidding ambu-lances from stopping there. Preeceville doesn’t have enough physicians to keep its emergen-cy room open.

Hospitals with intermittent hours and understaffing are hurting rural families’ access to health care. It’s time for a review of rural health care, and a new strategy to meet the need.

We’ve heard from moms in Preeceville who are scared for their kids. We’ve spoken with seniors in Craik who are furious the government refused to let them keep their full-time doctor and their ER. And we’ve heard from families and community leaders who say the government is not taking the potentially deadly problem of rural health claw backs seriously. For fami-lies living in or near Central Butte, Assiniboia, Biggar and others, a review is long overdue.

Head’s son, David

Head, will never know if his dad could have survived with quicker access to treatment – but he said no person should have an hours-long journey to get emergency care. I agree.

Making cuts and creating a toxic environment driven by John Black Lean in which health professionals are expected to do more with less – these things are not helping with the recruit-ment of physicians and nurse practitioners. It’s time to con-sult health professionals and put a new strategy in place for rural Saskatchewan so no one is far from 24-hour emergency care.

Forcing Canadians to contribute more to CPP or Ontario pension plan will reduce voluntary private savings

TORONTO—When Canadians were forced to contribute more to the Canada Pension Plan in the 1990s and early 2000s, they ended up saving less voluntar-ily, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-par-tisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“Calls for an expanded Canada Pension Plan, or the upcoming provincial pension plan in Ontario, often rely on the dubious claim that Canadians aren’t saving enough for retirement. Yet if Canadians are forced to save more in govern-ment-run plans, they’ll save less privately, with little change in their overall savings,” said Charles Lammam, dir-ector of fiscal studies at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Compulsory Government Pensions vs. Private Savings: The Effect of Previous Expansion to the Canada Pension Plan.

The study, which

builds on past Fraser Institute work, exam-ines the saving patterns of Canadian households from 1986 to 2008. It focuses on major chan-ges to the CPP between 1996 and 2004, when the total contribution rate rose from 5.6 per cent to 9.9 per cent of insurable earnings.

According to the study, past increases in mandatory CPP contri-butions were followed by a decrease in private sav-ings among Canadian households. Specifically, with each percentage point increase in the total CPP contribution rate, the private savings rate of the average Canadian household dropped by 0.895 percentage points (after accounting for interest rate changes and demographics shifts in age, income, and home ownership).

“The research sug-gests that for every one dollar increase in CPP contributions, Canadian households, on average, reduced private savings by one dollar,” Lammam said.

Interestingly, this reduction in private savings was more pro-

nounced among the young (under 30) and mid-career households (ages 30-49) and less evident among those approaching retirement (ages 50–64). In addition, the study finds a larger drop in private savings among lower- and mid-dle-income households and practically no drop for those with higher incomes.

So why does it matter that Canadians will save less privately (in RRSPs, TFSAs, and other pri-vate investments) when forced to save more in government savings (through an expanded

CPP or the new ORPP in Ontario)?

Because private retirement savings can offer more choice and flexibility than CPP savings. For instance, with RRSP savings, Canadians can tailor their investments, pull money out for a down-payment on a home or to upgrade their education, transfer the money to a beneficiary in the event of death, and withdraw money in case of emer-gency.

These benefits are lost when Canadians are forced to save more in CPP or the Ontario

Retirement Pension Plan.

“Canadians choose how much they save and spend based on their income and preferred lifestyle. If their income and preferences do not change, and the govern-ment mandates addi-tional savings through government pension plans, Canadians will simply reshuffle their retirement savings, with more money going to forced savings and less to voluntary savings,” Lammam said.

“The benefits to a mandatory expansion of the CPP, or a new prov-

incial plan in Ontario, should be weighed against the costs, which will include a reduction in private, voluntary savings.”

A short video high-lighting the effects of CPP expansion is also available at the Fraser Institute’s YouTube channel.

Vaccines are rec-ommended to prevent disease and keep us healthy. Vaccines are responsible for some-thing called “herd immunity.” If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a certain disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get sick himself. During the past 60 years, vaccines have helped eradicate smallpox and almost wiped out all cases of polio. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reports a 99 percent reduction in the incidence of bac-terial meningitis since the introduction of the vaccination against the disease.

Despite the good they can do, some people are hesitant to follow recommended vaccination schedules for fear of side effects. Some side effects are legitimate, but many studies continue to indicate there is no relationship between vaccines and autism.

Vaccines undergo rigorous safety test-ing prior to being approved for use and, once approved, are continually monitored for safety. But as with any medication, there are possible side effects associated with vaccinations, although most are not serious. The following are some side effects that people may experience after being vaccinated.

• injection site reac-tions, such as pain,

swelling, a small lump, and redness

• mild fever• shivering• fatigue• headache• muscle and joint

painMore serious side

effects, such as aller-gic reactions, are rare. Parents should moni-tor their children after vaccinations for any behavior or health changes. Some doctors recommend taking a fever reducer, such as ibuprofen, if a fever develops and makes a child or adult feel uncomfortable after he or she is vaccinated.

Many vaccination side effects are short-lived and not a cause for concern. But if side effects do not subside shortly after you have been vaccinated, bring this to the attention of your physician.

It can be tempting to forgo vaccines out of fear of any of the afore-mentioned side effects. But the benefits of vac-cines far outweigh the risks. Although they are not 100 percent effective in every per-son, vaccines do pro-vide the best defense against diseases that can kill or injure mil-lions of people.

For more informa-tion on vaccine sched-ules, visit the CDC (www.cdc.gov) or the American Academy of Pediatrics (www.aap.org). Doctors also can provide a wealth of information about immunizations.

Five insulation ques-tions to ask your real-tor when house-hunt-ing

Don’t let old, ineffi-cient building enve-lopes affect your monthly heating and cooling bills

Knowing about a home’s insulation is an important part of assessing how much energy your new pur-chase will consume, and should be consid-ered before making such a big investment. While a first step is to examine the heating and cooling bills over a three-year period, the next step should involve working with your realtor and explor-ing the following ques-tions to ascertain whether you desire the house under consider-ation that will provide you with comfort and cost savings.

Was this house built under an energy effi-cient home program? Programs such as R-2000, LEED®, GreenHouse®, and Energy Star® provide labels for homes that have been built or reno-vated according to standards which either met or exceeded build-ing code requirements. The label can provide you with confidence that the home was insulated and has a better building enve-

lope than most other homes built in the same time period. Some homes even have inscribed bricks or plaques indicating they were built in accor-dance with a specific program.

Has a home energy

audit been undertak-en? Home energy audits are relatively inexpensive and pro-vide suggestions on which energy efficien-cy upgrades would help reduce the home’s energy consumption. Even if the previous homeowners have not done the suggested work, the audit report is a useful tool to assess what energy efficiency work can be undertaken. Incentive programs offered by local governments and utility companies help leverage the costs of retrofitting and upgrading insula-tion. Ask your real estate agent if they have any energy effi-ciency audit paper-work.

Do thermographic

images accurately demonstrate a home’s heat loss through the building envelope? Inexpensive add-ons to smart phones can give you passable results and are less than $100. They pro-vide a quick and easy

way to get a “snapshot” of the cold spots and distribution of insula-tion in your house.

What kind of insula-tion was used? The type of insulation used can impact your health and comfort. For years, a UFFI (Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation) foam rider appeared on real estate purchase offers and is

now considered a health hazard. Some older homes contain vermiculite insulation, which was used into the early 1970s and is also coming under increased scrutiny as a health hazard. Meanwhile, fibre glass, rock wool, and slag wool insulation improve the comfort of your home by providing excellent thermal and

acoustic resistance and also exhibits fire retar-dant properties not found in all insulation products.

How much insula-tion is enough? One simple test is to look in the attic. If you can see the top of the rafters on the attic floor, you will need more insulation. Because the attic is an area that is very easy

to insulate, it’s notunreasonable toassume that if this areais substandard, thenother areas of the homeare likely to have thesame problem.

Insulation has beenidentified as a costeffective way to saveenergy and its benefitsinclude keeping theheat outside in summerand inside in the win-ter.

It may still feel like summer to you and I, but Piping Plovers have already begun to prepare for the winter.

“Piping Plovers are small migratory shorebirds that nest in Saskatchewan during the summer months, and spend the winter months on the coastal beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Islands such as Cuba,” says Rebecca Magnus, Habitat Stewardship Coordinator with Nature Saskatchewan. “Piping Plovers will begin migrating in early August after the young have spent the month of July practicing their flying skills, and grow-ing quickly in prepara-tion for migration,” says Magnus.

The Piping Plover is an endangered species, which means that this species could become extirpated from Canada

in the future. A total of 775 individual Piping Plovers were counted in Saskatchewan during the 2011 International Piping Plover Breeding Census. Unfortunately, this number is lower than the 1,435 plovers count-ed in Saskatchewan dur-ing the 2006 census.

Piping Plovers face numerous threats, including fluctuating water levels, predation, inclement weather, and livestock that can cause pugging and hummock-ing on shorelines (which can cause chicks to become trapped) and can trample nests.

Piping Plovers, not to be confused with Killdeer, have a single black neckband, whereas Killdeer have two black neckbands.

Piping Plovers are also smaller than Killdeer, and have orange legs rather than the typically dark yellow legs common

to Killdeer. Plovers have a lighter grey back than the Killdeer’s brown back, and the Piping Plover’s breast is white. Another distinguishing feature of the Piping Plover is its orange bill that is black tipped.

Nature Saskatchewan has a voluntary land stewardship program for landowners with Piping Plovers on their land. This program, Plovers on Shore, involves a volun-tary “handshake” agree-ment where the land-owner agrees to conserve shoreline habitat for these endangered birds. To learn more about the Piping Plover, or if you have Piping Plovers on your shoreline and would be interested in a face-to-face visit and dis-cussion with the Plovers on Shore Coordinator, please contact Nature Saskatchewan at 1-800-667-4668 or (306) 780-9832.

Piping Plovers get ready for their winter vacation

Even a fortune cookie can offer good advice

An introduction to the back yard universe

Ed, my old neighbor from Saskatchewan, claimed that he suf-fered from my good advice for years until I moved away. One piece of advice that sure got him puffing more vigor-ously was my warning that his cigarette smok-ing was a danger to his health. My old neigh-bor snapped that it was his health and that he would smoke five packs of cigarettes a day if he wanted to do so. He also added that I should shut up about his health. He said that my good advice was as valuable as the wisdom you get out of a fortune cookie. I thought about Ed’s rejection of my good advice when I

walked down First Avenue in Chilliwack yesterday. There I saw a worker on her work break, outside her store smoking her cigarette. I thought I should men-tion that it was danger-ous to her health, but I didn’t do it.

Would you accept or reject the advice given to you by a stranger on the street? The next time I talk to Ed my old neighbor by Skype, I will tell him about some folks who took some good advice, and it turned to be a great, once-in-a-lifetime expe-rience for them. Dan Rothman and his nine-year-old son came to Chilliwack from New Jersey being advised

that giant monster fish still swim in the Fraser River. They went out fishing with a company called Great River Fishing Adventures, and the nine year-old-son, Kegan, caught a 600 pound Great WhiteSturgeon on the Fraser River. I have the article cut out of the Chilliwack paper as proof for Ed.

Acting on good

advice may prove to be better than good. We do not see all advice as good, so we reject what doesn’t seem like good advice to us. We may never be ready for any advice but our own. Doing what we want may have deadly results both physically and spiritually but, we demand our personal freedom to choose what we do or not do. Many

sing Frank Sinatra’s tribute to himself, “I did it my way!” How many folks are frus-trated because they feel trapped by situa-tions and circum-stances where they cannot do it their way?

Doing it my way is highly overrated. Ed

used to tell me that there was no other way but his way unless his wife Ruby was within earshot. The Bible tells of folks who learned God’s word is never overrated. Loving God with all one’s heart, soul, mind and strength and one’s neighbor as oneself enriches Christian lives because it is God’s way. God’s

way calls Christians to love God and our neigh-bor first and then, our-selves, last. God’s love is greater than our attempts to live in love for God and others. As Christians, we do not brag that we love God and our neighbor per-fectly, or even well. We live by faith in Jesus Christ God’s Son, who acted in perfect love on our behalf. Saying that I did it my way may lead to regrets. It isn’t possible to always know that, what we are doing is the best way of living our lives. Christians trust that God’s way of love for us through faith in Christ is the best way now and forever.

Neighborly Advice According to Ed

by Raymond Maher

Most people have a basic understanding of the general workings of the Earth, Moon and Sun and a few snippets of the other stuff out there, which is pretty much all that most care to know.

Other than the occa-sional eclipse, appear-ance of a bright ‘star’ or story about space-craft passing Pluto, anything happening outside of our atmo-sphere really has noth-ing to do with everyday life.

This, of course, is not quite accurate, but we’ll leave that for another day.

This series of arti-cles is being written because, in my early teens, I found the night sky fascinating, an interest that has not diminished over the last five decades. Part of the joy is sharing that passion with oth-ers.

Unfortunately, I have also, over the years, developed a great appreciation for my couch and remote control, and as a result, don’t get out as much as I used to. As self-serving as it may seem, having a regular print deadline will get my mind back on astrono-my and off all the dis-appointment on televi-sion.

But enough about the Riders.

The next article will be a complete change from this one, in that it will actually have some content. For example, Saturn is back, its spec-

tacular rings a ‘bucket list’ item. And, no promises, but I’m cur-rently trying to arrange the total eclipse of a ‘supermoon’ on September 27th, if that’s convenient for everybody. Will keep you posted.

Incidentally, the (for-mer) planet in the news these days, Pluto, is rising as the Sun sets, but it currently lies in front of the Milky Way, meaning it’s surround-ed by at few billion stars, most of which are brighter.

There’s a reason they sent a spacecraft for a better look. For

me, my best views will come from that couch I spoke of earlier.

June and July, the warmest months, also have the latest sunsets, so this is actually the least convenient time of the year for sky gazing; regardless, we’ll break out the bug spray and

run through a few things you can see in our Living Skies, at night, from your own back yard.

All you have to do is look.

This time of year there are many ques-tions about harvest management and the use of pre-harvest chemicals in crops. Often the questions asked include “Should I desiccate my crop?” and “What should I spray and when is the best time to spray my crop?” In order to answer these questions, it is important to under-stand the difference between spraying a crop desiccant such as diquat and using a pre-harvest glyphosate for harvest management.

A crop desiccant is used when a crop or other green material needs to be dried down quickly for harvesting. Under good growing conditions, desiccants dry down the crop in four to seven days as

well as any weeds that may be the field. It is important to note that a desiccant such as diquat is a contact her-bicide. This means that the herbicide will not move through the plant and therefore it requires good coverage of the plant surface when sprayed to work effectively. However, there is no control of perennial weeds in fields when using a des-iccant and crops can re-grow if there is any late season moisture after the plants have already dried down.

Pre-harvest glypho-sate is often used as a good perennial weed control tool later in the season for some trou-blesome weeds such as Canada thistle, peren-nial sow thistle, quack-grass and dandelions.

Pre-harvest glyphosate can also help with uneven maturity crops and will assist with drying down weeds so they are easier to har-vest. Dry down with pre-harvest glyphosate occurs at a much slower rate than desiccants, and generally occurs ten to fourteen days after spraying under good growing condi-tions. The longer time period is needed to allow the herbicide to move throughout the plant and into the roots.

Neither a crop desic-cant nor the use of pre-harvest glyphosate will help the crop to finish maturing. Rather both diquat and glyphosate will dry plants down at whatever stage of maturity they are sprayed at. It is impor-tant that the majority

of the seed in the stand has reached physiologi-cal maturity to reduce the risk of potential yield loss. The stage at which a seed has reached physiological maturity is different for each crop. For exam-ple, most cereal crops reach this stage and are ready for pre-harvest glyphosate application when the seeds are at the hard dough stage. This can be determined by pressing a kernel with your thumbnail. If the line from the impression remains on the seed then it is ready to be sprayed. In pulse crops such as peas, a crop desiccant is gener-ally used when all of the bottom pods are ripe and the seeds are detached within those pods.

The decision wheth-

er or not to use a desic-cant or pre-harvest glyphosate also depends on factors other than weed control and tar-geted dry down periods. It is important to know the pre-harvest inter-vals for applying glyphosate or a desic-cant to a crop. This could affect the level of Maximum Residues Levels (MRL) in the crop and could impact where and how the crop can be marketed. If grain is going to be used for seed, then pre-har-vest glyphosate should not be applied in order to minimize any nega-tive impacts on seed germination and plant stand establishment the following year. Alternatively, swathing is another tool that can also be used to help dry crops for harvest but

also comes with risks if conditions become wet. Each option comes with its own advantages anddisadvantages and what works one year may not be the best solution the next year. Therefore it is impor-tant to evaluate eachfield individually to seewhich option will pro-vide the best overall results and fit withinyour operation.

Questions about pre-harvest management

Stress affects people of all ages. The symptoms of stress can be extremely unpleasant, as participants in a study released earlier this year by the Statistic Brain Research Institute and the American Institute of Stress who reported experiencing physical symptoms of stress admit-ted to feeling fatigue, head-ache, upset stomach, and muscle tension, among other things.

Among those who reported feeling physical symptoms of stress, 77 percent admitted to feel-ing those symptoms regu-larly, citing job pressure and money as the primary

causes of their stress. How men and women handle stress can impact both their immediate and long-term health, as stress has been linked to a host of problems and ailments, including sleep dysfunction and heart disease. Many people cope with stress in unhealthy ways, which may only exacerbate the effects of stress on the body. Certain methods of han-dling stress may work for some people but not others, but the following are a few healthy ways to combat stress.

• Limit alcohol and caf-feine consumption. Many adults turn to alcohol at

the end of a stressful day, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that relying on alcohol to cope with stress may only create more problems down the road, and those problems will only increase your stress levels. In addi-tion, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America notes that alcohol and caffeine can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks.

• Rely on a support net-work. Coworkers, family and friends have stressful days, too, and such confi-dantes can help you handle stress in healthy ways. The ADAA recommends men

and women dealing with stress let their support circle know how they can help relieve stress. Many people simply need to talk to someone after a stressful day, which can feel like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Let your support network know you’re there for them when they experience stress as well.

• Get daily exercise. Exercise pays a host of dividends, not the least of which is relieving stress. At the end of a stressful day, get some exercise instead of pouring yourself a drink or indulging in an unhealthy meal. When the body is

physically active, the brain secretes endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that make you feel good. Regular exercise also helps you get a fuller, deeper sleep, which can be dis-rupted by stress.

• Eat a healthy diet. Diet also can affect how your body handles stress. Certain foods can tame stress. For example, oat-meal can boost levels of a calming chemical known as serotonin in your brain. That calming effect can make it easier to cope with stress. Other foods may help strengthen the immune system. Vitamin C, for instance, may help

curb levels of stress hor-mones such as cortisol whilesimultaneously strength-ening the immune system.Omega-3 fatty acids, whichare found in fish such assalmon and tuna, may helpprevent surges in stresshormones while also pro-tecting against heart dis-ease and depression, twoserious conditions thatstudies have linked to ele-vated stress levels.

Healthy ways to handlestress can help men andwomen who are stressedout ensure that stress isnot compromising boththeir immediate and long-term health.

Healthy ways to handle symptoms of stress

Headaches are a com-mon occurrence and may result from a host of fac-tors, including chang-ing weather, stress and fatigue. Headaches may be classified as tension headaches or symptom-atic of sinus congestion. Migraine headaches are

a type of headache that can affect vision and may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as sensi-tivity to light and sound.

Although headaches can be painful, they often are harmless. Once a headache subsides, a per-son can resume normal

activity. However, some headaches are indicative of a more serious condi-tion and warrant further investigation. Should a headache fit the following criteria, it may be time to visit a doctor promptly.

• Extreme pain: If the headache comes on very

suddenly and is charac-terized by extreme pain, it may be a sign of an aneurysm. This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain tears and cuts off blood supply to a part of the brain. Aneurysms are treatable if medical atten-tion is promptly sought.

• Head injury: Headache following sports injuries or head trauma should be checked by physicians. Injuries can cause brain swelling and buildup of fluid inside of the skull.

• Neurological issues: If the headache is accom-panied by neurological issues, such as slurred speech, problems moving your limbs, changes in vision, confusion, or mem-ory loss, see a doctor.

• First-time headache for older adult: Headaches in adulthood following a lifelong pattern of head-aches may be nothing to worry about. However, if

you are 50 or older and suddenly are experiencing acute headaches, it may be a sign of something serious.

• Headache and stiff neck: Bacterial and viral forms of meningitis can cause a headache along with a stiff neck and, in some instances, vomit-ing. If these symptoms all coincide, you should be tested.

• Headache type changes: If symptoms

of recent headaches are unlike past symptoms, it may be wise to talk to a doctor about the chang-es. Changes can include increased frequency, dif-ferent pain locations or anything other new symp-toms.

Headaches are often innocuous, but in some instances, they may be signs of something seri-ous. Visit a doctor to rule out more serious implica-tions of headaches.

When a headache might be more serious

S a s k a t o o n , Saskatchewan – The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) has committed $100,000 for relief efforts in addition to volunteering and fund-raising to help Saskatchewan forest fire evacuees.

SIGA’s Board Chair Reginald Bellerose spoke today about relief efforts, “We would like to recognize the hard work of all of the people in communities across this province who are involved in relief efforts and getting the wild-fires under control. The safety of our communi-ties has been a major concern for us all and there have been so many groups and indi-viduals that have

worked tirelessly to support the regions and people where the fires are burning. Thank you all.”

Many of SIGA’s employees are from the communities that have been struggling through the evacua-tions. SIGA and its employees conducted fundraising events, in addition to donating hundreds of meals and necessary items such as water and baby blankets. These are just a few of the ways that they gave their support to those in need.

“We are supporting the Red Cross and the Salvation Army in their work, and we have also stepped up our efforts by donating funds

directly through the Prince Albert Grand Council and the Meadow Lake Tribal Council for their com-munities,” shared SIGA’s President & CEO Zane Hansen. “It has been outstanding to also see our employ-ees giving even more; they are involved in efforts above and beyond what anyone would expect of them. We are very proud of them.”

SIGA will continue to support efforts in these matters and our thoughts remain fore-most with the people of the province that are struggling with the effects of these from the regions of these wild-fires.

SIGA commits $$ for wildfire evacuees

Premier Brad Wall announced today that he is pleased that other premiers have joined Saskatchewan and BC to call on the federal government on measures that will improve prepared-ness and response to wildfires.

Wildfires across western Canada this summer have reinforced the need for a strong and coordinated emer-gency management and public safety sys-tem.

“This year’s fires in Canada were unique in that there were multiple large forest fires in several juris-dictions at the same time,” said Wall. “We need to be prepared in the event that this situation happens again in the future, and I believe that partnering with the federal government will help us accom-plish that goal.”

Wall said

Wednesday he would like to ensure Canadian Forces receive additional training in fighting forest fires so that, in the event they are needed, they can pro-vide assistance on the front line immediate-ly.

Premiers will be requesting their min-isters responsible for emergency measures to work with the fed-eral government to:

Explore the idea of creating a nation-al supply of wildfire fighting equipment;

Ensure that train-ing is provided to Canadian Forces per-sonnel in wildfire fighting techniques; and,

Evaluate and improve the existing agreement for sharing firefighting resources between provinces.

“We are grate-ful to all of those who have assisted Saskatchewan during this unprecedented

fire season - all pro-fessional and volun-teer firefighters both inside and outside our province, our Armed Forces, and private citizens who have all been necessary to battle the fires threat-ening many commun-ities,” said Wall.

Wall said he was grateful to Premiers for agreeing to the idea of a national con-tingency for future wide-spread fires.
