The potential out there is that it could cre-ate some unfortunate scenarios with popula-tion increases in certain areas of the province, SWF stated.

The Opposition disagreeswith new law

The Opposition NDP’s Trent Wotherspoon stated various reasons against the new tres-passing regulations.

Wotherspoon said if this legislation relies on an app, the app should have been completed first before this was “rammed through.”

“There’s many ques-tions about how that will work. We don’t even have good Internet ac-cess in many parts of the province, but build that app out. Test it, prove it works,” Wotherspoon said.

He feels this this bill is unenforceable and said the province should be focusing more on root causes of crime such as high rates of crystal meth use.

Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN)FSIN vice-chief

Heather Bear from

Ochapowace First Na-tion is critical of the changes, which she said showed “deep disrespect for treaty and inherent rights.”

Last year, FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron called the changes unconstitu-tional and said they vi-olated the treaty rights of Indigenous people, which he said trump pro-vincial laws.

“Treaties are above provincial law, they are international law,” said Cameron.

The province says the new trespassing law does not infringe on treaty rights.

N o r t h B a t t l e -ford-based lawyer, Ele-nore Sunchild, who represented the family of Colten Boushie, ex-pressed concerns about the changes and said they could stoke racial tensions in the province.

Cameron referred to the possibility of legal action against the pro-vincial government over the amendments when they were announced last week.

“It’s unconstitutional, it’s not First Nations friendly and it goes against their own legisla-tion, the 1930 Resources

Transfer agreement,”Cameron said at a pressconference.

He said the 1930 agreement gives theFSIN legal grounds tochallenge the amend-ments in court.

He said numbered treaty agreementsclearly spell out that Indigenous people can live their way of lifeand live off the lands.Cameron said the new amendments, which re-quire everyone to ask forpermission before usinglands are clear violations of those treaty rights.

“This is going to end up in Supreme Court,”Cameron said. “We areprepared to go the dis-tance as we’ve proved time and again.”

The newly overhauled trespassing rules could become law as early as May 16. The rules re-ceived their third and

In the past, landown-ers were responsible to post their land with no trespassing signs. The new legislation would make it so people would have to get permission from the landowner to access rural land.

Justice Minister Don Morgan expects the leg-islation will minimize confrontations by land-owners, and it will allow people to know exactly how many people are on private land and for what reasons. It will also provide protection to landowners and occu-piers against property

damage and the risk of agricultural diseases, and limits any liability that may arise from a trespasser’s presence on their property.

The legislation will not come into force even though it has been passed until the regula-

includes the development of an app to help connect landowners with hunt-ers, snowmobilers, hik-ers and others who may want to access the land. Innovation Saskatche-wan is working with the Saskatchewan Associa-tion of Rural Municipal-ities (SARM) to develop a technological solution that promotes contact between landowners and people who want to use their property.

SARM favors new regulationsSARM had stated

last November that it is pleased with the prov-ince’s amendments to the trespass legislation.

“SARM members have passed multiple resolu-tions related to trespass-ing over the years and the association has ad-vocated that individuals need to receive express permission from a land-owner before they access private land.

Trespassing pres-ents a threat not only to feelings of personal safety, but also to the livelihood of farmers and ranchers,” said SARM president Ray Orb. “We believe that tightening rural trespass laws will help rural landowners and farmers protect their livestock and crops while increasing the sense of

security and safety for their families,” a SARM news release stated.

“By ensuring that pri-vate property is deemed as “no trespassing” until permission is obtained from the landowner and/or tenant, we are afford-ing rural landowners the same right as urban landowners.”

Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation

The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation has also raised concern on how this legislation may affect hunting practices. It says more rural land is owned by numbered companies and absen-tee owners, making it

contact a landowner for the purpose of tracking animals.

Morgan said it is com-mon practice for hunters to get prior permission already so these new rules should not change too much.

With the reduction in telephone landlines all across Saskatchewan, the wildlife federation feels trying to identify the individual let alone get the phone number is near impossible.

Another concern for the wildlife federation is that North American research has shown the number 1 reason hunt-ers give up on the sport

accessing productive hunting areas. The wild-life federation said it’s already received calls from fed up and frus-trated hunters who say they plan on hanging up

these changes.SWF said hunting is

the only form of wildlife population control in the province.

“Cindy and I have been researching for companies to come in to

do the cleanup of proper-ties if they are not done by the owners. The boys (town labourers) can’t be doing what they’re supposed to do plus also doing the orders to rem-edy,” Rodgers stated. The time and costs related to cleanups are added to the property owner’s taxes who do not comply with the order to remedy.

“There will likely be a violent rebellion if society continues mistreating In-digenous people.”

This statement was published by Nation to Nation, National News on May 2, 2019, by the

itself as following the political bouncing ball, keeping an eye on what the government is up to and how it affects First Nations, Métis and Inuit across the country. It is a statement made by Mur-ray Sinclair, appointed senator in 2016, chair of the Truth and Reconcil-iation Commission, who co-led the Aboriginal Jus-tice Inquiry in Manitoba as well as an inquiry into baby deaths.

With the birth of his son, Sinclair realized he didn’t have much to offer him by way of his identity and culture so he decided to do something about that. Sinclair became a lawyer, a judge and now a senator.

“I recognized the need for change was very strong and I saw the po-litical roots as being the route that would prob-ably get us the best and quickest answers to some of the issues that Indige-nous people were facing,” Sinclair said.

The statement he made to Nation to Na-tion is disconcerting in several ways. In the in-terview, Sinclair’s com-ments included, “There’s a social philosopher by the name of Frantz Fanon who wrote in 1948 that when you have a col-onized people, who have been oppressed by one

tend to submit to the colonization, oppression, but then when they start to recognize what they’re experiencing they will resist but when that re-sistance is quashed then they will start to take out their frustrations upon themselves so the high rates of personal abuse

grow.“But eventually they

will take out their vio-lence on the oppressor, then you’ll have a rebel-lion.”

The interview contin-ued with Sinclair’s stat-ing, “My view is if we continue to ignore what society is doing to Indig-enous people in terms of poverty, the education failure rates and I’m not talking about the individ-uals who are failing, I’m talking about the educa-tion system is failing, and the child welfare rates, we will likely be creat-ing a population of young Indigenous people who will be prone to thinking about acting out violently against society. “

Frantz Fanon may have made such insinu-ations in his published works. His works also lay claim to the development of Fanonism. Frantz Fanon, was a French West Indian psychiatrist, philosopher, revolution-ary, and writer from the French colony of Marti-nique, whose works are

post-colonial studies, crit-ical theory, and Marxism. Some feel he has been in-

and anti-racist political movements.

Published in “Policy Futures in Education” in 2013, one researcher, Tai Chung from Tai-wan, stated, “through the understanding and exploration of western intellectual tradition, Fanon transformed it into the promotion of ex-istence of subjectivity of the colonized people and even resorted to violence regardless of the cost or

-dural, practical and radi-cal existentialist.”

Just prior to Fanon’s death, “The Wretched of the Earth” was pub-lished in which Fanon argued for violent revolu-tion against colonial con-trol, ending in socialism.

These struggles must be combined, he argued with (re)building national cul-ture, and in that sense Fanon was a supporter of socialist nationalism.

Any reference or en-couragement of rebellion should be disconcerting to our country. We are an educated country with educated people of all na-tionalities, including the Indigenous people. Ref-erence to Frantz Fanon does nothing more than instill a method of resolu-tion that may have been used in the past but has no place in today’s Cana-dian society or politics.

Promoting a rebellion is just plain wrong

Rural Saskatchewan left out of good job newsThe Saskatchewan

Party has just received some outstanding job news — the kind of news that it might very well ride to an election win in October 2020.

There is, however a bit of ironic, bad news contained within this very good news. What is very good news for the Sask. Party government and province as a whole is not the best news for rural Saskatchewan that may still be bearing the brunt of our changing economy.

The very good news is that April saw 14,200 more overall jobs — 18,000 of which were full-time jobs. That we seem to have lost part-time jobs might normally be seen as bad news, but with the rise in full-time employment it likely means we are seeing some part-time jobs converted into full-time ones.

And that is just the beginning of the good job new in the Saskatchewan job numbers that we have seen of late. April represented the ninth consecu-tive month where Saskatchewan has seen more jobs than the same month 12 months ago.

What this strongly suggests is that the Saskatch-ewan economy is recovering and is on a bit of a roll, which bodes well for a governing party headed to polls next year.

The economy is a bit like a train that takes awhile to get to top speed and awhile to slow down. Histor-ically speaking, 14,200 new jobs in a month (includ-ing 18,000 full-time ones) is nearing top speed, so it’s rather unlikely that it will slow down anytime soon.

It’s also noteworthy that the economy in April saw 12,100 jobs created by the private sector. There was also a healthy number of additional jobs in ed-ucational services, health care and social assistance where the Sask. Party government has been criti-

cized for not doing enough. Finally, there were 7,100 jobs created in Sas-

katoon and 2,800 jobs in Regina, where the Sask.Party is expected to struggle the most in the October 2020 general election.

But while this is all good news overall, the newsis less good for rural Saskatchewan. Although jobsin agriculture were higher than a year ago, therewere 2,200 fewer people working in the natural re-sources sector. That’s bad news for rural Saskatch-ewan where virtually all of the energy jobs exist.This means good-paying jobs in the oil patch havenot come back.

Instead, we are seeing 2,500 more jobs in the ac-commodation and food services industries that moreoften are minimum-wage level jobs. But the realproblem is that the bulk of the new jobs are being created in the two big cities, while the smaller cities, towns and farms generally continue to lose jobs.

This does not mean the Sask. Party has a polit-ical problem because it already has most of the 29rural seats sewn up. Except for the occasional seatwhere we see a retiring incumbent like Lyle Stewartor Dan D’Autremont, the Sask. Party already has aveteran MLA in place to seek re-election. And giventhat the bulk of those rural MLAs won with 65 percent or better of the popular vote, there is certainlyno reason to suspect that Premier Scott Moe is goingto lose many (or perhaps even any) rural caucus toRyan Meili’s NDP.

But it is a bit of double-edged sword in that over-whelming success in the rural seats means there is less political incentive for the government to ad-dress rural problems — especially long-standing rural problems like jobs that everyone believes thegovernment can’t do much about anyway.

As good as the overall job news is, it very muchseems that the government does have to turn its at-tention to doing what ever it can to help rural Sas-katchewan in this area.

WEEK OF MAY 19 TO 25, 2019

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:ARIES, TAURUS AND PISCES

ARIES Your enterprising nature will be-nefit you. Your effective handling of new challenges will demon-strate your abilities to others and put you in a good position to get a promotion.

TAURUSYou’ll be overcome by the sudden desire to go on a trip. You’ll waste no time making travel plans and consequently have an unforget-table summer holiday. Also, you’ll feel unusually curious.

GEMINIYour emotions will come power-fully to the fore for one reason or another. You’ll also be overcome with an urgent need for change. Some new clothes or a new hair-cut could do the job.

CANCERYour morale might not be par-ticularly high throughout the week. To turn things around, simply bring the people you love together and take part in stimulating activities.

LEOWhen you arrive at your desk on Monday, you’ll find enough work to keep you busy for two weeks. By being organized and methodi-cal, you’ll manage to get every-thing done by Friday.

VIRGOWhile participating in an event, you’ll perform a feat that takes you out of your comfort zone and pushes you beyond your limits.

LIBRAYou don’t need to look far to achieve happiness. In your home and among your family is where you belong. Don’t hesitate to bring your loved ones together, no mat-ter how modest the set-up.

SCORPIOOnce you can no longer tolerate the situation you’re in, you’ll make the necessary changes. You’ll se-cure the financial means for a new start.

SAGITTARIUSSome physical exercise will dispel your worries. You need to attach yourself to someone new. Or, if you just started a new relationship, you’ll benefit from defining it more clearly. In a different area of your life, you’ll discover your freedom.

CAPRICORNYou distinguish yourself with your accomplishments and no one can accuse you of being all talk. If you have a move coming up, you’ll start packing ahead of time — the sooner you begin, the sooner you’ll be done.

AQUARIUSYour exhaustion is growing and your health is becoming more deli-cate. Not one to give in easily, you’ll take steps to recover your vitality. Determination and orga-nization are your watchwords.

PISCESYou may lose trust in a friend. This experience will teach you to better detect freeloaders and you’ll derive more joy from your true friends.

Charne Esterhuyse is accustomed to high scores whenever she draws her bow in front of a target. The young archer from Grenfell has consistently won National Archery in Schools Pro-gram (NASP) competitions, earning

gold at the NASP provincial champi-onship two years in a row. She also placed second at the national champi-onship and third at the all-stars com-petition last year.

She was looking forward to partic-ipating in the nationals again. “I’m hoping for gold this year. It would be really nice since it’s my last year,” the

high school senior told the Herald Sun prior to the competition.

Unfortunately it was just not meant to be.

The competition was held at Evraz Place in Regina May 3 to 5. Esterhuyse scored 281 in the bull’s-eye shoot but it was not enough to beat Emily Mahon’s score of 291.

The 3-D shoot also went poorly for Esterhuyse as she scored only 280 and

-ton by eight points.

Charne was unavailable to com-ment before press time due to school and work schedules, but her mother, Simone, said fatigue was likely a fac-tor in her performance.

“I don’t think she has shot that low in two years; I think she was just overtired,” Mrs. Esterhuyse explained. “We were gone to Edmonton for her brother’s convocation and she had to run the farm so she didn’t get time to

practice or rest.”In spite of the set back, Esterhuyse

has already begun preparing for one more NASP event. Her score of 291 at the provincial championship earlier this year secured her a place on the Canadian team at the Open Cham-pionship in Nashville, Tenn. Schol-arships are awarded to archers who place in the July competition and she hopes to earn one towards her bache-lor of agronomy degree.

Esterhuyse will attend the Uni-versity of Saskatoon this fall and al-though there is no archery program at the university, she will continue her involvement in the sport inde-pendently.

“I’ll be moving up to a different level of archery, a higher competitive level; I guess the adult-world of it,” Charne said following the provincials in March. “I don’t want to quit now — I quite enjoy it.”

Esterhuyse misses target for national archery championship

The Winnipeg Blues announced May 14 that Whitewood’s Taras McEwen will be its new general manager.

McEwen joined the Winnipeg Ice organi-zation in 2017 as the team’s manager of scout-ing. In 2018, McEwen’s

duties expanded and his title was changed to manager of scouting and hockey operations.

In addition to his role with the MJHL Blues, McEwen will continue his responsibilities with the Western Hockey League’s Winnipeg Ice.

Before joining the Ice, McEwen held a position in the Saskatchewan Ju-nior Hockey League as the hockey operations assistant and assistant coach of the Notre Dame Hounds. He also held two coaching positions in the Prairie Junior Hockey League includ-ing assistant coach of the Ochapowace Thunder (2013-2015) and head coach of the Fort Knox (2015-2016).

Taras’ father Brad McEwen was named the head scout for Team Canada in July 2018

after three years as the scout for the Calgary Flames and 14 years as a coach in the Western Hockey League (WHL). Prior to that he was a coach in the Sask. Junior Hockey League (SJHL) for seven years.

McEwen named MJHL team GM

The SHA has re-opened the Request for Proposals relating to the replace-ment of the Grenfell Pioneer Home.

The Saskatchewan Health Author-ity (SHA) closed the Level IV care home last fall, citing health risks due to mold in the building. After the res-idents were relocated, the SHA and Ministry of Health began a long pro-cess of restoring services to Grenfell. A Request for Proposals was issued on Feb. 7 with a deadline of March

20 to determine the best means of providing care for community members. This could include renovating the existing building or con-structing a new home.

Mayor Rod Wolfe was informed on May 6 that the Request for Proposals has been re-opened and a new closing date has been set for June 3. The mayor explained that the SHA wants to explore every pos-sible option for the community. Since

some companies that had expressed interest in the project did not submit an RFP by the March 20 dead-line, the SHA wished to allow extra time for them to do so.

Although some propos-als were received in March, they will remain unopened until the new deadline next month.

In spite of the extended

determined by mid-summer. Shortlyafter the announcement, Mayor Wolfemet with Greg Ottenbreit, minister forrural and remote health, who assuredthe mayor that the SHA and Ministry

Laboratory services at the Whitewood and District Community Health Centre have been forced to close recently and patients have been sent to neighbouring communities for some services.

“We have been experiencing intermittent labora-tory closures due to limited availability of staff over the past month and expect these may continue for a few more weeks,” Lisa Thomson, media relations consultant for the Saskatchewan Health Authority told the Herald Sun. “Patients are being redirected as necessary to services in neighbouring commu-nities during the times laboratory services are not available.”

“In addition, our X-ray machine experienced a breakdown on May 1 and the needed parts have not yet arrived, so X-ray services are not currently available in the community, and patients in need of X-rays are being redirected to nearby communities,” Thomson added. “ We will update the community as soon as the parts arrive and the X-ray resumes ser-vice.

“We sincerely apologize to any patients inconve-nienced by these service disruptions and urge you to contact the facility if you need additional assistance in accessing services,” stated Thomson.

SubmittedSeveral organizations are receiving

funding over and above their efforts to

break open tickets, Texas Hold’em poker, or other charitable gaming activities. The funding is from the

Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) quarterly grant dis-tribution.

For the period Jan. 1 to March 31, SLGA has provided more than $1.6 million in gaming grants to approxi-mately 1,100 community groups and

organizations.Receiving grants in the area include

Broadview & District Lions Club, $2,550 and Grenfell Athletic Associa-tion that received $2190.

Whitewood had four organizations

$1,444.68, Whitewood Elks Minor Hockey $1,842.51, Whitewood School Band $416.15 and Whitewood Tourism & Heritage $1,659.01.

The Saskatchewan Charolais Youth Association in Kennedy was granted $3,024.89 and Tantallon Me-morial Recreation Co-operative Ltd. $1,683.75.

Wolseley & District Lions Club was granted $2190.00.

These grants are based on a per-centage of net proceeds raised through

the groups and SLGA automaticallycalculates grant amounts from the charitable gaming reports submitted by the groups.

“These groups and organizations raise money to support local programs that bring a wide variety of community

project was conducted in Stoughton on May 2 by the RCMP Combined Traffic Services. This involved six members of

-vices from Carlyle, Wey-burn and Estevan.

Officers enforced all violations under the traffic safety act and vehicle equipment reg-ulations, but for May there is a targeted effort on drivers using their cellphones, not wearing seatbelts, and speeding. A plainclothes officer was strategically set up in an unmarked vehicle in Stoughton to watch

for those targeted viola-tions and report them to uniformed members who would stop the vehicle.

At the end of the day there were more than 40 written contacts; three of these were for using/holding electronic communication equip-ment ($280 fine and four points), two for seat belts ($175 and three points) and various other charges.

There were also half a dozen drivers who

RCMP target seatbelts & phones

Moosomin RCMP has had several reports of emails and text mes-sages from scammers claiming to be from Can-ada Revenue Agency. There is a link in the email for people to click on and complete a form providing sensitive per-sonal information such as date of birth, social insurance number, and mother’s maiden name etc. Do not do this.

The message also in-dicates your refund may be expedited and/or in-

form online. Do not do this.

This is a scam and an attempt to solicit infor-mation to access credit or use in further scams in the future. If you receive this text, do not provide any information. Should you have provided in-formation, ensure your bank is aware, and you can contact the Cana-dian Anti Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
