THE ACCESSIBLE PLAY STRUCTURE in Weinmaster Park officially opened recently, giving kids of all range of abilities a place to play. The new structure cost a total of $300,000.

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

Kids in Yorkton have a new place to play. The new accessible play structure in Weinmaster Park has opened, giving kids of all ability a new place to play. Lisa Washington with Community Development, Parks and Recreation says that

the project has been in the works since 2011, and was one of the first major projects she was involved with since joining the department. She says people quickly got on board with the proj-ect, with parents and service groups coming on board to raise money and get the community involved.

ASSISTANCE SOUGHT – Kamsack RCMP have issued a warrant for the arrest of Adam Cote on a num-ber of offences including aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, breach of undertaking and failing to attend Court. Police say these charges are the result of two separate incidents. The first occurred in November 2013 whereby Cote assaulted a 19 year old female. He was taken into custody and charged with assault caus-ing bodily harm, breach of undertaking and possession of a controlled substance. He was subsequently released from custody and failed to attend Court on June 10, 2104. The latest incident took place on July 12 at a residence on the Cote First Nation. Cote is charged with aggravated assault as well as breach of undertak-ing the result of an incident which took place at a resi-dence on the First Nation. Cote is believed to be in the Kamsack or Yorkton areas. The accused, who is 28 years of age, is described as approximately 5’11” weighing 175 pounds. He has several tattoos. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Cote is asked to contact the Kamsack Detachment of the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Buyer beware: PDAP If you haven’t okayed the work offi cially, then you are cautioned not to proceed unless you seek prior approval. As the recovery and clean up continues in the aftermath of the fl ood, representatives of the Provincial Disas-ter Assistance Program (PDAP) are cautioning residents that they may not cover air quality testing or any other en-vironmental testing. Some agents or repre-sentatives of companies are reportedly approach-ing residents claiming their services are cov-

ered by PDAP. PDAP reports it does not have a relationship with any contractors, environmental testing companies or any other private service compa-nies of this type, nor can PDAP recommend par-ticular companies. If you engage any services of this type, you will likely be out of pocket for any expenses incurred and PDAP will not reimburse you.

Representatives from Samaritan’s Purse Cana-da say one of its specially-equipped Disaster Relief Units has been sent to Melville and is recruit-ing volunteers to clean up homes in the town and also in Yorkton in response to fl ooding that

damaged more than 500 homes in the region. The Christian relief and development orga-nization is meeting with homeowners in Melville, Yorkton, Crooked Lake, Neudorf, Round Lake, and the Regional Municipality of Cana, while recruiting

and training volunteers. “People in these com-munities are struggling,” says Darren Tosh, Sa-maritan’s Purse Canada’s projects director. “We’ve been monitoring the situ-ation to gather informa-tion about the damage, and we are in contact

with churches and other non-government partners in the area to provide a coordinated response.” The Disaster Relief Unit is a tractor trailer outfi tted with essential disaster recovery equip-ment including genera-tors, pumps, hand tools, and safety gear for vol-unteers. It also serves as a volunteer coordination center, and is equipped with a self-contained of-fi ce, communications sys-tem, and other supplies. Anyone in the Melville-Yorkton region needing assistance or wanting to volunteer can call 1-866-628-6565. Premier Wall says he is thankful for Samaritan’s Purse

“We want to thank Sa-maritan’s Purse Canada for their aid during this unprecedented fl ood in southeastern Saskatch-ewan. Organizations like yours make a real differ-ence to people who des-perately need help.” Samaritan’s Purse, which has other Disas-ter Relief Units based in New Brunswick and in southern Ontario, is also monitoring water levels in Manitoba to determine if it will need to initiate a fl ood response there, too. In recent years, the non-profi t organization has responded to a wide va-riety of natural disasters including massive fl ood-ing last June in southern Alberta, plus fl ooding in

New Brunswick, Quebec, and British Columbia, forest fi res in Slave Lake, AB, and a tornado in On-tario. Samaritan’s Purse also responds to international disasters including the enormous earthquake in Haiti in 2010, the devas-tating earthquake/tsu-nami in Japan in 2011, and Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013. The Calgary-based char-ity is continuing to assist in Haiti and the Philip-pines.Donations Needed To support Samaritan’s Purse’s disaster relief ef-forts, please visit Samari-tansPurse.ca (click on “Donate”) or call 1-800-663-6500.

GIVING BACK – The Yorkton Elks Lodge recently provided a very help-ful donation to The Health Foundation in the form of $25,000 which will go towards a new Resident Bus for the Yorkton & District Nursing Home. At the present time there is no resident bus as the vehicle failed its safety inspection in May of 2013, and has been off the road since that time. The nursing home and the Wellness Centre have tried to make do with city transit since that time, but that is not working well. “With this donation from the Yorkton Elks Lodge The Health Foundation was able to order the bus,” says Ross Fisher Executive Director of The Health Foundation. “On behalf of the Yorkton Elks and Royal Purple lodges in Yorkton we are only too happy to make this donation to assist in buying this bus which is badly needed by the residents of the nursing home and the Day Wellness program,” comments Earl Greiner, President of the Yorkton Elks Lodge. “Our membership is down in the last few years, but we still do fundraising and we like to be able to help out with good community projects. We are hoping to see a turnaround in people’s thoughts about joining service clubs, organizations like ours need more youth. We continue to raise funds in a variety of ways, including the annual charity appeal which has been going on for over 50 years, and is the raf-fling of a car, as well as several secondary cash prizes. In addition, we have an annual provincial walkathon every fall, and an annual Peace 100 rally which consists of a snowmobile derby and a raffle in the winter months.” These, along with a few other projects assist the Elks in supporting the community and of the Elk’s own philanthropy which is the Purple Cross Fund for Children. “We were more than pleased to make this donation because our members believe that donating to improve healthcare is one of the best ways to be of assistance to the community,” concludes Greiner.

NEW JUDGE – The province’s newest judge is Justice Donald H. Layh (left), who was sworn in as a Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench in Yorkton by Honourable Chief Justice M.D. Popescul (right). Layh is from Langenburg, and is best known for his contributions to the field of debtor-creditor law in Canada. He says that the appointment makes him proud to be Canadian, because it was possible for him to go from humble begin-nings on a small farm to representing the courts of the country.

Celebrating Saskatchewan parks

No one likes it, but there’s nothing the government can do to stop it. That’s the mes-sage Canadians are receiv-ing. My question is WHY? Why does a convicted killer get any special privileges at all? He’s been locked away from society for a very good reason. Why can’t we keep it that way? Notorious killer Paul Bernardo may be behind bars but by the looks of things he’s hardly suffering for what he has done. Along with his then wife Karla Homolka, a number of years ago Bernardo raped and murdered two young girls – one 14, the other 15. If that isn’t bad enough, he was also reportedly convicted of 32 other sex-related crimes dat-ing back to 1987. In 1995 he was declared a dangerous offender (you think?) and sentenced to life in prison. Apparently that still allows you the right to carry on relationships with people in the outside world. We are now hearing that Bernardo is making wedding plans with a young woman who has been communicating with him via letters and in person visits since last fall. This isn’t the first time things like this have happened. There are women out there who seem to fall prey to this trap for whatever reason... maybe it’s because we enable it. “These are women from all across America. Women who have given up their families, careers and even their freedom to be with the men they love who all happen to

be convicts,” says Stephen Williams, an author who has written a number of books on Bernardo. He also notes that in the years before he was executed in the US in 1989, serial killer Ted Bundy married and even fathered a child. Wow. Williams says he’s not shocked there are women with a love interest in

Bernardo. But WHY? I’m thinking there must be some-thing seriously wrong with this woman. “I was aware that there were women visiting (Bernardo) in prison early on when he was first incarcerated,” Williams says. “This sort of thing happens, but from what I’m reading about this, she (the current love interest) appears to be a bit fragile and obviously her parents are very con-cerned.” I would say so. Can you imagine if this was YOUR daughter? “What I’m saying is, in all relation-ships it takes two to tango. (Bernardo) hasn’t got much room in that 8×10 cell to do any tangoing and I think that you have to ascribe a lot of the motivation in this to the young woman and of course were I her parent, I’d be very concerned as well.” Paul Bernardo took away the rights for at least two young girls to ever experience any kind of a real rela-tionship – and now we cater to HIS so called rights? Please...

The way I see it...

Dash cams are becoming more popular in Canada. A small camera mounted to the dash of a car, they exist because people are concerned about insurance fraud and want to have a bit of ammunition if they are in an accident and believe they are not to blame. It’s already extremely popular in Russia, where vid-eos of crazy drivers have become the country’s most common export. The technology is catching on else-where because bad drivers are hardly a Russian exclusive, and people are concerned about their insur-ance. I find the trend interesting because, elsewhere, I have read about privacy advocates wanting rules around license plate scanners, which function in a much more mundane manner – parking enforcement and finding cars connected to crimes, especially sto-len cars – but people are concerned about how long the data is kept and how it can be used. Much like the dash cam, the scanner can be useful in an investiga-tion because it gives data on a driver, albeit less spe-cific data, but the scanners draw suspicion while the dash cams are willingly purchased by drivers across the county. What’s the difference then? It comes down to who is using them, in the long run. With a cam, the user is the driver, they have control over the camera, the

data, and so on. With the scanner, the user is either police or parking agencies, who have the same con-trol. The difference comes down to people trusting themselves, but not trusting law enforcement or any-one else. They might be installing a surveillance sys-tem in their car, but it’s their surveillance system, and one which is controlled by them alone. If I was worried about privacy, I would be much more concerned with the dash cam for the same rea-son. A license plate is something anyone can see when walking down the street, it’s not something that can be hidden, and without access to a database of what the plate means and who it belongs to, it’s meaning-

less information. In Saskatchewan, at least, informa-tion on cars that are not suspicious is discarded any-way, though this is not the same in other jurisdictions police are still limited by various rules. With a dash cam, it’s more specific information, and it’s owned by someone I don’t know but also does not actually have much legal oversight. It’s a mobile surveillance device which people outside of that car have no control over, but it’s also something that there is not actually a close legal eye on how the information is handled. Neither option is a choice. Your plate is going to be scanned, you’re going to be on tape if another driver has one of the cameras. While it might seem like the cameras are an option, it still affects the privacy of everyone else. But does one method of surveillance bother you more? Which is not to say that I am inherently suspicious of such cameras or think they should not be allowed. Most people who use them have innocent goals and are just trying to reduce their insurance premiums. It is just a contrast between people in this country, as some want to have as little data on their movements as possible stored and collected, while others will tape their every move just in case something bad happens. The second group is controlling the game, and make it difficult to be too private.

We’ve had our fair share of problems this summer with flooding and extreme weather taking a toll in the province in many areas including pro-vincial parks, but as we work to rebuild and mend, there are still plen-ty of reasons to celebrate. From hiking and fishing to campfire cookouts and relaxing, this week we are celebrating Saskatchewan Parks Week. “Our provincial parks capture the beauty and spirit of Saskatchewan, through the gorgeous scenery and exciting activities they have avail-able,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty comments. “Saskatchewan offers an exceptional quality of life, and our parks are an important part of that.” Saturday, July 19 has also been pro-claimed as Canada’s Parks Day. Saskatchewan is proud to join other provinces, territories and the Canadian Parks Council in making this designation. This event, in its 25th year, focuses on connecting Canadians to nature. Saskatchewan Provincial Parks work closely with many partners to bring exciting programs to its visi-tors. Visit www.saskparks.net for a full listing of activities. There’s plenty to get out and enjoy! And according to the numbers, peo-ple are doing just that. Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are more popular than ever. In 2013, the provincial park system set a record 3.7 million visits. The 2014-15 budget has increased funding to provincial parks by 4.6 per cent this year. Capital investments, including campground electrical expansion, service and visi-tor centre replacements and water system upgrades will total a record $14.9 million in 2014-15. Flood damage will be repaired, the sun will shine and our parks will con-tinue to be a place to relax and unwind so this weekend if you can find the time, there is an abundance of desti-nations waiting to be explored!

To the Editor:

In its first major ac-tion in 1972, the United States Environmental Protection Agency made history by banning di-chloro-diphenyl-trichlo-roethane (DDT). It led to a worldwide ban, all based on the public out-cry elicited by marine biologist Rachel Carson’s 1962 book Silent Spring. This marks the be-ginning of the organic movement in America, and remains a badge of honor for organic activ-ists, in spite of the fact that this ban resulted in the deaths of over 41 mil-lion people – roughly the same number of people Chairman Mao murdered in his Great Leap For-ward – as public-health authorities lost their only effective means of con-trolling mosquitoes that act as a vector for tropi-cal diseases like malaria and dengue fever. But Carson never called for a ban on DDT, a substance viewed by activists as a product of modern science but which was first synthe-sized in 1874 and first used as an insecticide in 1939. Nor did she call for a ban on ANY pesticide in her bestselling book, or anywhere else. Con-trary to popular belief, Carson only called for the more judicial use of pesticides. But she failed to ap-preciate that there are no harmless chemicals, only the harmless USE of chemicals. Or, as the medieval father of toxi-cology, Philippus Aureo-

lus Paracelsus, puts it, “All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous.” With a “prosecuting attorney’s” style of writing, hand-in-hand with repetitive use of phrases like “elixirs of death,” the unfounded claim that there is “no safe dose” for such pesti-cides, and anecdotal tales

of people dying from can-cer within a year of using DDT, Carson and only Carson must be found guilty of perpetuating environmentalists’ inter-pretation of her book as an “impassioned plea for action against the use of these new materials.” Alas, Carson was not available to comment by the time the EPA took its fateful action, having died six years before Re-publican President Rich-ard Nixon even formed the EPA, eight years before activists undemo-cratically twisted her words into this regula-tory fiat. And so the way was paved for the default notion in organic circles that anything synthetic is bad and everything natural is good. As Mus-solini so infamously put

it, reason is a tool, but it can never motivate the crowd. Throngs of angry, often violent demonstra-tors, feed off inspiration, not boring ol’ facts and figures. Fast forward to the present and the crowd of organic activists have found a new enemy. This time it’s not something toxic. It’s not even a sub-stance. It’s a process; the

field of science known as genetic engineer-ing which creates novel traits in plants that are then referred to as ge-netically-modified organ-isms, or GMOs. But nev-er mind the facts. GMOs are viewed by organic ac-tivists in the same terms as DDT once was, and thus, they say, must be banned. At a recent forum titled “Modifying the Future of Food: What If GMOs Are the Only Option?” a group of esteemed aca-demics explain the many positive aspects of GMOs. There’s just one problem, one which all the experts in the world are proving incapable of solving. No one’s listening. The GMO sector will never make headway simply by talking about

the science-based agro-nomical facts surround-ing GMOs. We have to come to grips with the fact that we’re under attack from the tax-subsidized anti-GMO organic movement, the exact-same baseless, hyperbolic, emotional attack in fact that was used with such ruthless efficacy against DDT. Do you know any scientists working on DDT? Nei-ther do I. A handful of public-health officials in the Third World are once-again using with DDT having grown bold enough to stand up to an-ti-DDT organic activists. But beyond that, DDT is like toxic waste. Find me a graduate student some-where planning to study DDT for her dissertation and I’ll show you some-one destined for a career in obscurity who likely won’t pay off her student loans until she retires… assuming she’s even able to find employment. And, unless we start fighting back, GMOs are headed for the same fate. Dr. Gonsalves alludes to this at the forum (around the 23:30 mark) when he points out that the devel-opment of the GMO pa-paya was a fantastic sci-entific achievement, but then asks (and I’m para-phrasing) What have we done since? The answer, sadly, is nothing… nada… zip… rien! He goes on to say (24:30) “It’s not about science, it’s about people skills.”

To the Editor: Since taking office in 2006, the Harper government has negotiated over 40 sepa-rate international trade agreements and has championed the idea of free trade around the world as a means of economic and political liberalization and progress. While Canada’s approach to free trade in-ternationally is well known, its internal trade policies are anything but free. During his recent six-city tour, Industry Minister James Moore focused on trying to unite various economic stakeholders in an effort to reform the current inter-nal trade mechanisms between provinces within Canada. Under the current regime, Moore argues that many of those living outside Canada have “more access to the Canadian economy than Canadians. It’s just patently ludicrous for us to continue and to not make sure that we are taking full advantage of all of Canada’s economic opportunities for Canadians.” The inception of the World Trade Organi-zation and the gradual lowering of tariffs have allowed protectionists to find new, creative methods of discouraging trade. This is true not only of countries around the globe, but also for the Canadian prov-inces. As explicit duties were outlawed, provinces enacted non-tariff barriers with the intent of shielding their domestic in-dustries from provincial competition. This is exactly the line of thinking On-tario’s provincial government has taken on wine imports – it doesn’t want Ontario’s wine industry to lose market share to BC’s wine industry, and is unwilling to alter its trade policies to bring them in line with the rest of the country. When international firms are looking at countries to invest in, they engage in detailed analysis meant to unearth ev-erything from political risk to regulatory hindrances. A key aspect they also look at is a country’s trade barriers. It is enough that a firm will have to navigate through obstacles to trade at the national level, but when those barriers are abundant at the provincial level as well, it creates a major disincentive for foreign investment. The Canadian government, the Premiers of the New West Partnership (NWP) and the four Atlantic premiers understand this, which is precisely why they want a Canadian Free Trade Zone. Economically, the numbers speak for themselves: it is estimated that internal trade barriers cost the country approxi-mately $50 billion a year, and in 2013 In-dustry Canada estimated that these barri-ers amount to a seven per cent tax on all goods going through provincial borders. At a consumer level, it is easy to see the ef-fects, particularly when an Ontarian is un-able to order wine from British Columbia without going through Ontario’s Liquor Control Board. The other major areas af-fected by the lack of trade freedom are significant to the provincial and national economies - energy, labour and procure-ment. In light of Canada’s recent surge in bilat-eral trade agreements with the European Union and South Korea, and the historical legacy of NAFTA, and the primarily posi-tive response towards them from consum-ers and businesses, it is tempting to believe that the country as a whole has embraced free trade like never before. Unfortunate-ly, this simply isn’t the case.

To the Editor:

With so many people across a broad swath of Saskatchewan and Manitoba grappling with the conse-quences of heavy rains and sudden summer fl ooding, everyone’s atten-tion right now is riveted on helping those at risk, mitigating damages, cleaning up the mess, proper com-pensation arrangements, and then the long task of rebuilding. In typical prairie fashion, all hands are willingly on deck to do whatever is necessary to alleviate the emergency and deal with its af-termath. Not including the negative eco-nomic impact of having thousands of hectares of farmland out-of-production and a large portion of the oil patch inaccessible, Premier Wall is estimating out-of-pocket costs in Saskatchewan far exceed-ing $360-million. He has asked the federal government for a $100-mil-lion “cash advance”, to help speed compensation payments to vic-tims. The Feds need to get that cash fl owing quickly, just as Canadian military personnel were put into action quickly in Manitoba when Premier Selinger asked for help in strengthening dikes along the Assiniboine River. Much more will be required in both provinces, but assistance efforts are underway. For the longer term, many people are wondering whether we have to be as vulnerable to such water and weather-related damages as we seem to be. Saskatchewan faced a similar

situation with storms and fl oods in 2011. Last year there was massive devastation caused by rampag-ing waters in Calgary and across southern Alberta. And it wasn’t that long ago that the problem was the opposite -- i.e., extreme drought conditions causing hard-ship. Whether it’s too much or too little, nothing stirs more prairie agitation than water. It’s increasingly diffi cult for the skeptics to dismiss the recurring reality of far more frequent and extreme weather events. Some provinces, many municipalities, a number of important players in the private sector and a large percent-age of Canadians agree that some form of “climate change” is real and must be treated seriously. Only the federal government remains in de-nial. But without wading too deeply into that issue right now, as im-portant as it is, what should gov-ernments have on their agendas immediately to reduce future risks and mitigate losses? The Saskatchewan government is talking about some better way of handling unauthorized on-farm drainage that ultimately fl ows cross-country. We’ll see what comes of that. What else? At the federal level, the Doppler weather radar system is now old technology. It’s prone to failure, like the Doppler station at Bethune which has had chronic problems for the last four years. Also, the net-work of stations is too sparse. And there is no comprehensive way to push out vital warnings to the gen-

eral public. This could be much im-proved. And what about emergency plan-ning, training and overall prepared-ness? Federal budget cuts ended a long-standing program which local governments had relied upon for years to help get themselves ready to cope with natural disasters and other emergencies. This could be re-examined. The loss of PFRA should also be reconsidered. Over the past fi ve years, the federal government dis-mantled the historic Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration which, since the Dirty Thirties, provided the best western exper-tise in water and soil conservation and management. PFRA also ran community pastures, operated a prairie tree farm and provided world-class fl ood prevention and control measures. And on another front, federal infrastructure programming has been reduced, delayed and made more diffi cult to access. This year’s funding for the fl agship “Building Canada Fund” has been cut by 87 per cent and won’t get back to last year’s level until after 2019. There could be much more priority given to urgent transformative in-frastructure investments that will help anticipate and withstand re-curring severe weather and water disruptions. Where do things like this rank on YOUR list of public policy pri-orities?

time it’s not something toxic. It’s not even a substance.

It’s a process...”

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. The chickens and turkeys have been ordered from the hatchery and will be mailed to us when they are one day old. The birds will be at the Preeceville post office in early July. I wonder if we get a discount if they flap their wings. It should make for cheaper air mail, wouldn’t you think? We just have to pre-pare the chicken coop and the turkey yard. They will enjoy their quarters after we get rid of the mice family that overwintered in there. I’m looking for-ward to doing the feeding and watering for those cute little critters! There are two coyotes hanging around our yard. They seem to have befriended the horses as well as our dog Lady. I will have to do something before we can let the chickens and turkeys out in their little yards, or they might become coyote dinners. Perhaps I’ll try to completely fence in the yards, including an over-

head chicken wire. That ought to keep the coyotes out. I thought about shoot-ing them, but we are too close to the village, and stray bullets can wreak havoc, and also I don’t want to hit one of our animals by accident. I only have a live trap for a skunk, which I can’t use on them because I believe that the coy-otes are too smart for that. In fact, last time I saw one of them, I grabbed a broom handle and pointed it at him. He obviously knew that it was not a gun, as he just sat there cocking his head as to say: “What’re you gonna do with that? Throw it at me?” Coyotes are a problem all across North America, and for those of you who watch the funny cartoons on Saturday morn-ings with your kids or grandkids, you know the situation in Arizona where Wiley E. Coyote has been trying to cap-ture an ostrich named Road Runner, without success. We all know that the ostrich is not a very smart bird; in fact it sticks its head in the sand when faced with danger. So it is very puzzling then that a smart animal like a coyote is

unable to catch the silly bird! Wiley had a bad experience with an Acme rocket sled that he was unable to control, and as a result Wiley has filed a lawsuit against the Acme Company for supply-ing him with faulty merchandize and / or merchandize affixed with faulty safety labels. The rocket sled experience was just one of many incidents where Acme products purchased by Wiley, did not perform as expected and caused Wiley physical harm. The suit is currently being argued in front of the judge Yosemite Sam and a jury in an Arizona court, according to the cat Sylvester, a

spokesman for the Loony Toons organi-zation. The Acme Company is repre-sented by Bugs Bunny, who declined to comment as the case is before the court. Elmer Fudd is representing Wiley, and he believes that Wiley has a strong case, as Elmer himself has used some of the Acme products with bad results. In the state of Wyoming, the Sierra Club (tree-huggers) and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population.


Con’t from Page 5.

In other words, we have to win the public-rela-tions debate, once and for all, the same way Gen-eral Electric did when the light bulb replaced the gas light over a century ago. The alternative is at-rophy. We’re now in a holding pattern in mod-ern agriculture. Public and private interests are no longer willing to lead this field of science, leav-ing farmers to rely on the handful of GMO crops that have already made it through the maze of regulatory and public-re-lations obstacles. Sure, there are a few academics pressing ahead with GMO research. But the crops they’re working on – GMO wheat and flax for instance – have ZERO chance of making it to the field unless a company like Monsanto, Bayer or Syngenta purchases the technology and invest a quarter-of-a-billion dol-lars into commercializing it. And why would a com-pany make such a bold decision when the deck is stacked against them? There is simply no busi-ness case for taking such a high-risk gamble. Research and develop-ment into GMOs is rapid-

ly approaching the same position we’re witnessing in the field of antibiotic development; forget about developing new products; concentrate on existing ones, even as they gradu-ally lose effectiveness. An-tibiotic-resistant bacteria were observed by scien-tists almost immediately after Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. But the the medical community didn’t throw up its hands and use less penicillin. New antibiot-ics were developed! And thankfully so. No… not stronger antibiotics. New varieties were developed, to the point where doctors and veterinarians now have well in excess of 100 antibiotics to rely upon in fighting infection. But now, thanks to overregulation resulting from tax-funded lobbying by anti-antibiotic, natur-opathic, homeopathic, sustainability and organ-ic activists, pharmaceuti-cal companies have aban-doned the development of new antibiotics, focusing instead on treating phony ailments like attention-deficit disorder, obesity and erectile dysfunction. And how far behind is the field of genetic engi-neering? Or is it already on par with antibiotic re-search?

Don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting we stoop to the same level as the anti-GMO organic movement has. Never! Facts matter, to the ex-clusion of anything specu-lative that could be inter-preted as a mean-spirited attack on the organic in-dustry. But where is the line-up of speakers at any forum exposing the complete absence of facts emanating from the anti-GMO, anti-antibiotic or-ganic industry? Let’s face it, the impetus for change will not come from industry, nor from industry organizations, farm bureaus, commod-ity boards or academia. The people at the helm of these institutions have all consciously chosen to en-ter the holding pattern on GMOs, cognizant that just a single misstep could re-sult in banishment. DDT anyone? And so, it befalls to farmers in the freest na-tion on the planet to fight fire with facts, and engage those who would take farming backwards in time as the rest of the American economy finally starts to move forward. Let me know when you’re ready.

Time to fi ght fi re with facts

One of the favourite foods to help combat the heat of the summer sun is chilled slices of melon. Seeing kids with water-melon juices running down their chins as they submerge their appe-tites into the cold juicy flesh, is a sure sight at almost any outdoor activity. Although watermelons are the most popular suppres-sor of the scorching tem-peratures, many also choose cantaloupe, hon-eydew, or casaba melons to fulfill this activity. Casaba melons are similar in size and shape of cantaloupes and hon-eydews, but are recog-nizable by their wrin-kled yellow skin. They are not smooth like hon-eydews nor do they have a netted shell like can-taloupes. The sweet flesh of the casaba can be white, yellow or orange, but it is not as sweet as honeydew, and

not as aromatic as can-taloupe. Melons make a great summertime snack as they have a high water content to replenish our overheated bodies along with a low calorie count. One diced cup of any of these four varieties will account for approxi-mately 45 to 65 calories. Honeydew being the highest in calories because of higher sugar content, and watermel-on only ranking 45 due to, you guessed it: the highest water content. Even though each of these four melons have their own attributing nutritional factors, can-taloupes seem to be the most nutritious of the group. Let’s investigate vita-min A for example. Cantaloupes have an extremely high amount of vitamin A (approx. 5411 IU per cup), while watermelon offers 865

IU, honeydew only 85 IU, and casabas usually don’t have any. Vitamin A is typically found in abundance in darker coloured fruits and veg-etables, and helps to promote the mainte-nance and growth of healthy skin and hair. It is also necessary for proper development of teeth and bones. Cantaloupes also have the highest vitamin C (with twice the amount of honeydews), and the highest in minerals potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. No matter what mel-

ons you decide upon, a melon baller will assist in creating a great pre-sentation in your next fruit salad or as frozen balls of fruit in a sum-mer drink. Garnish your creations with some chilled local fresh ber-ries and you will have a delicious low fat snack to help combat the sum-mer heat.

Dear Chef Dez: Someone told me that the outsides of canta-loupes should be washed before we eat them due to bacteria and salmo-

nella poisoning? Is this true? If so, why, since we just eat the insides and not the skin?

Norma B.Langley, BC

Dear Norma: This is true. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), cantaloupes are grown at the ground level and their outer skin can become con-taminated in the field by soil, contaminated water, wildlife, poor handling, or improperly composted manure. When we cut into mel-ons, any bacteria on the outer skin can easily be transferred not only to your knife, cutting board, and serving plate, but also to the inner flesh. The CFIA recom-mends as one precau-tion that before cutting fresh cantaloupes to

thoroughly wash and scrub them with hot water using a clean pro-duce brush. As further safety mea-sures, it would be wise to wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling canta-loupes as well as the equipment used to pre-pare them. It is always better to be safe than sorry, and if they recom-mend this for canta-loupes, then I would assume these safety measures with all mel-ons.

It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true methods of shooting and / or trapping the preda-tors, the tree-huggers had a “more humane” solution. What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive; the males would then be castrated and let loose again. Therefore the popula-tion would be controlled. All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally, an old boy in the back of the confer-ence room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, “Son, I don’t think you understand

our problem. Those coyotes ain’t socializing with our sheep – they’re eatin’ ‘em!” Ole was a farmer from way back in the hills and he had to walk twenty kilometers one way, to the general store. He arrived at the store one cool afternoon in the early winter. “Hello Ole,” said Sven, the store owner. “Tell me, are you and Lena still making fires up there by rubbing two sticks of wood together, or striking stones and flint together?” “Yah shure ya betcha, Sven. Ain’t no other way. Why do you ask?” Wondered Ole. “Got something to show you Ole, something to make fire.

It’s called a match,” Sven answered. “A match did you say? Ain’t never heard of a match Sven,” said Ole. “Well watch this Ole. If you want a fire you just do like this,” Sven said, taking a match and lighting it by strik-ing it on his pants leg. “Huh. Well, I’ll be! Ain’t that some-thing, but that ain’t for me, Sven,” Ole mused. “Well, why not Ole?” Sven wondered. “I can’t be walking twenty kilo-meters every time I want a fire, just to borrow your pants leg to light a match, and with such a short thin piece of wood, the flame will burn out before I even get home!”

Yet these same governments, when posed with questions about free trade with other nations, appear more than willing to engage in negotiations, as if they only understood free trade as an international concept. What provincial leaders should do is follow the lead of the NWP Premiers, and overhaul the entire internal trade system. The beauty of the NWP proposal is that it is the start of a new conversa-tion in the hopes of reforming the cur-rent system, rather than putting for-ward a defined framework. According to Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, the NWP Premiers are working from one central assumption: “We start

from the premise that everything isopen.” The same benefits that Canadawould gain from free trade with an-other country should apply domesti-cally as well. Premiers Wall, Hancockand Clark deserve credit for initiatinga dialogue whose time has come, butany hope for progress will require sup-port from all of the provinces as wellas significant involvement of the fed-eral government. If history is any in-dication, the outlook for internal freetrade is bleak but hope springs eternalthat Canadians get the national eco-nomic benefits and opportunities theydeserve.

The structure itself cost $300,000, with the added expense due to the unique requirements involved in build-ing an accessible play structure, Washington says. One of the major expenses for the project was the soft ground cover, which allows mobility while also pro-viding a safe place to land, which Washington says was one of the biggest costs in the proj-ect. The project was funded by

the Community Initiatives Fund, groups like the Yorkton Kinsmen, events like the Yorkton Kids Expo, as well as saving money through the capi-tal budget over three years. David Johnson, President of the Yorkton Kinsmen, says that they helped fund the project because it’s something Yorkton didn’t have before as well as something that the city needed given its size. “When it comes to accessible stuff we were really falling

behind, even if you just look at Yorkton’s population it was bad, and when you look at people from surrounding areas that

come here it was even worse, so it was a no-brainer.” The structure was needed in Yorkton, Washington says, and the benefits of it are clear, espe-cially as families interact with it and each other now that it is in place. “Everybody needs the oppor-tunity to interact with others and play. Not just people in wheelchairs, not just children, everybody. There was a kid who was able to stand on the exteri-or with his grandpa on the

ramp, and his grandson was able to play with the same things he was. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to play together.” Caitlyn Hasper was one of the kids at the official opening of the structure. In a wheel-chair herself, she was able to explore the structure on her own, something she would not be able to do on other struc-tures. She has one word to describe the new addition to the city. “It’s awesome!”

CARDINALS CHASING PLAYOFFS - Despite losing three straight games at home over the weekend, the Yorkton Cardinals kept theirplayoff hopes alive with a big come from behind win over Melville on Monday night.

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

A growing track program in the city, the Yorkton Legion Track Club has been steadily increasing the quality of track and fi eld athletes in the area over the past few years and recently reached a benchmark for the club in sending 14 athletes to represent Team Saskatchewan at the Western Canada Championships. After a successful high school track season, the club track athletes of the YLTC built on a hard year of training and success at various meets around Western Canada leading up to the Saskatchewan Athletics Provincial Championships in which 14 of their 34 athletes qualifi ed for spots on Team Saskatchewan. YLTC manager Marcel Porte men-tions that the growing program’s success has been tied into making it more aware that there are options for track athletes year round in the province like in any sport, something he says he fi nds some athletes are unaware of. “The awareness around Saskatchewan Athletics is low,” says Porte. “Many parents and young ath-letes don’t realize that there are track meets from November all the way to June with Sask Athletics (which is not

part of the school system). “We had ten 2001/2002 born athletes attend this meet this year. It was great to see more interest in track and fi eld from that young age group and they did very well to represent our area.” The 14 athletes qualifying for West-erns is a new high for the YLTC, who sent just one athlete for the 2012 Westerns in Medicine Hat. Last year they sent fi ve athletes to 2013 Westerns in Calgary. With the meet being in Saskatoon for 2014, the YLTC hit their new high at the per-fect time and even surpassed Porte’s dream goal of having double digit rep-resentatives in Saskatoon this sum-mer. “My goal was to have 10 athletes represent this area,” says Porte. “The Western Canadian Championship with be held in Saskatoon this year on July 18 – 20th. We are very excited that we will have a good presence at this meet.” Yorkton even saw one of their ath-letes qualify for the 2014 Midget Na-tional Track and Field Championships as Derek Campbell ran the qualifi ca-tion time in the 2,000 meter distance event in stunning time to qualify to represent the city against some of the best young distance runners in Cana-da.

“We are all very proud of Derek,”says Porte. “The national standardfor the 2,000m is 6:22.00 and Derekdid it in 6:16.6, that is over a 6 seconddifference, says Porte who also men-tions that Campbell is very close toqualifying for the 1,200 meter and 800meter events. “He is also three sec-onds off the 1,200m and four secondsoff the 800m, which he will still havean opportunity to qualify at Westernsfor the National Competition.” The full list of qualifi ed athletes isas follows:

YLTC sees 14 athletes make Team Saskatchewan

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

Facing a tight three way race in the East Division for the remaining playoff spots in the Western Major Baseball League with the Melville Mil-lionaires and Weyburn Bea-vers, the Yorkton Cardinals faced a must win game on Monday night at Jubilee Park when three straight losses put them in danger of falling to last place in the division. Yorkton’s week started with a crucial home doubleheader against the Weyburn Beavers at Jubilee Park as they geared up for back to back double-headers with the Beavers,

playing the fi rst two games at home before having to travel to Weyburn on Friday night. Hoping to distance them-selves from the last placed Beavers with some big home wins, the Cardinals found no such luck during their mid-week affairs with Weyburn and were swept at home dur-ing the two night games losing by identical 6-3 scores to drop two games. Yorkton would lose the fi rst game in extra innings, allow-ing three runs in the top of the tenth cost them the game and momentum heading into the second game in which the Cardinals relievers would cost them as arms went tired and

the Beavers lineup capitalized by scoring crucial late runs in the eighth inning to win the second game as well. On Friday night in Weyburn it would be the Cardinals re-turning the favour as Yorkton would bounce back from a four run Beavers fi rst inning to score fi ve runs in the top of the third before adding insurance on the way in a big bounce back victory by the way of a 8-4 fi nal score. 10 hits would lift the Car-dinals in the win as Austin Drummonds and Stetson Mc-Colin both scored two RBI’s apiece in the win in the fi rst half of the Friday night dou-bleheader in Weyburn.

Like the Beavers did mid-week in Yorkton, the Cardinals would carry the momentum of a win during the fi rst half of the doubleheader into the sec-ond game to success when the late game went underway. All square in the top of the eighth inning, the Cardinals would get two runs over Bea-vers reliever Toby Eigner to win 5-3 and fi nish their four game series with the Beavers with both teams settling for a split of two victories apiece in a strange series where no home team won a single game out of the four battles between Yorkton and Weyburn.

OF YORKTONSince1984

®

Cont. from Page 10. The back to back victo-ries against the Beavers would send Yorkton back home with some forward momentum as they were set to host the Swift Current Indians on Saturday and Sunday in a series with the first place team in the Central Division. Jamie Whitehead would get the start on Saturday night for the first game of the series, but couldn’t find much initial success as Swift Current scored three runs in the top of the first inning on the Cardinals starter to make things interesting in the early stages at Jubilee Park. Things got even more interesting in the bottom of the first inning as Swift Current starter Marc-Andre Habeck gave the lead right back to Yorkton as the Cardinals generat-ed three runs in the bot-tom of the first thanks to veterans Kameron Mizzell and Ben Grillo to erase the deficit and take the lead after what was a wild start to the game. Both pitchers would settle down after the first

inning, but once again the Cardinals pitching staff would fall apart in the late innings as Swift Current scored runs in their trips to the plate in the eighth and ninth innings on their way to a 9-4 win on Saturday to take the first game of the series. On Sunday the Cardinals would be forced to start reliever Vin Whitenight as the amount of doubleheaders wore out their pitching staff, some-thing that worked to var-ied success as after the strong reliever pitched two shutout innings it became clear that arm fatigue would become a factor when Swift Current finally got to Whitenight with three runs in the top of the third before eventu-ally scoring five runs with the usual relief pitcher on the mound. Easton Etter didn’t fare much better, allowing four runs in the top of the seventh that sprung for-mer Yorkton Minor Baseball pitcher and Cardinals utility infielder Derek Marshall to the mound to finish off the game as the bullpen options for Yorkton

required to throw the for-mer minor baseball pitch-er into the fire in front of the hometown fans at Jubilee Park. Marshall would pitch well for the first two innings of his mound per-formance, but eventually he would wear down in the top of the ninth where Swift Current ruined what was a nice moment by scoring five runs to extend their lead in what was a 14-8 final score. Afterwards Cardinals coach John McVey said he was impressed with Marshall. “It is hard to ask our position players to come into the bullpen because they aren’t pitching every day and preparing to be thrown in last minute and I thought Marshall pitched really well and just couldn’t get to the end of his inning which happens in baseball but overall he really impressed me by going out there and doing well for the majority of his outing,” says McVey on the Cardinals local product’s performance going from the infield to the mound. After playing Swift Current on Sunday after-

noon, the Cardinals would also have to play a night game against the Weyburn Beavers thanks to the scheduling quirks the rain during the first half of the WMBL season has caused. Needing to get a quality start out of ace Jeff Pool to give the bullpen a rest, the Cardinals let Pool go nearly the distance before the top of the eighth gave him troubles in what was the deciding factor in a 4-3 loss after a fatigued Pool gave up a tied 1-1 score in the top of the inning as Weyburn scored three runs. Yorkton would fight back with two runs of their own, but would again fall short for their third straight loss in a close game where once again worn down arms in the pitching staff from the compressed WMBL sched-ule was a deciding factor. The loss would set up a “must win” game on Monday as the Cardinals would be facing their rival Millionaires looking to prevent falling into the East Division basement before a much deserved day off for their pitching staff, handing Clay

Rideout the ball as the starting pitcher with Rideout in search of his second win of the WMBL season. Getting a quality start from Rideout despite one run in the top of the first inning, it would be the Cardinals who would make a late push for a change as the bats woke up as the Melville pitch-ing started to wear down on Monday. The Cardinals would score a run apiece in the fifth and sixth innings before exploding for four runs in the bottom of the seventh to take a com-manding 6-2 lead after the Mils tied things up in the top of the inning. Reliever Cole Roark would close the door on the Millionaires chances, allowing just one more run in the ballgame to get

Yorkton a win that they really needed to make up for their 2-5 spell leading up to the big East Division win. A stretch that includ-ed three losses to the Weyburn Beavers. Yorkton now face a daunting task to make the WMBL Playoffs with just three home games out of their final 14 con-tests, making their Alberta road swing at the end of the season. Looking to end a five year playoff drought in a three way race, Yorkton will have to find a way to go on a streak in Alberta on the road should they make the postseason. After a big win against Melville, the dream is still very well alive for the 2014 Cards. The next two weeks will determine if it becomes reality.

Saturday night’s Week Three clash in the 2014 CFL regular season between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and B.C. Lions was a matchup that fans have seen more than a few times before, and not just because in the CFL division rivals see each other more than long distance couples do in a given year. With the Lions starting the season 0-2 and the Riders trying to shake off an embarrassing defeat to the Toronto Argonauts and keep pace with the Calgary Stampeders early in July and an excited group of Riders fans congregating at Taylor Field following the rain soaked home opener that wasn’t, Saturday was a scenario that the Roughriders usually thrive in. A big game at home on Satur-day night, a chance to make a statement. The type of game that truly shows if you are an early contender or if you have adjustments to make, a measuring stick game, a statement game, or sim-ply just a big game in the long CFL season with a little bit more on the line than usual. In a win both teams needed, fans came out hoping that the Riders would show that those who saw warning signs in their blowout in Toronto were too quick to panic. Before a bye week, the Roughriders found out that they will have a lot of early adjustments to make should they want to contend for a second straight Grey Cup without several key offensive and defensive players from the 2013 roster in an-other game where the Riders offence continued to struggle with the lack of run threat in Kory Sheets and the lack of receiving threats in Weston Dressler and the injured Chris Getzlaf. For a third straight week, Darian Durant con-tinued to struggle to move the ball down the fi eld

for the Riders, getting only 188 yards passing with a touchdown to Taj Smith and an interception in the loss where the Riders couldn’t score a single point in the second half. Perhaps the lone positive on offence was the play of Smith, who has done more than enough to step up and try to fi ll the void the absences of some of the best players in the CFL last season have left. Smith caught nearly half of Durant’s passing yardage on Saturday, eventually hauling in eight catches for 90 yards in addition to the touchdown reception. Still, his presence alone wasn’t enough to give Durant enough open receivers to prevent a 15/34 passing performance in what has to be considered the quarterback’s third straight disap-pointing performance to begin the season. In fairness, the Roughriders struggles early on should have been expected as the loss of so many

players due to free agency and the expansion draft was bound to cause some growing pains for a franchise that is looking to rebuild as quickly as possible in a market where fans don’t want to see any sort of rebuilding after winning the Grey Cup. That presents a problem when it becomes clear that the Roughriders are going to need to do some roster building if they want to get back to the level they were at just a few short months ago. Chris Getzlaf being out of the lineup is probably the most pressing concern and is the last reason for the Riders failure to compete in the last two games that doesn’t boil down to the team simply not being good enough as a whole. When Getzlaf returns to the lineup, hopefully after a much needed bye week things could be dif-ferent on a Riders offence that still has two of the best wideouts in the league when Smith and Get-zlaf are playing at their highest level at the same time. Other than that, there really isn’t much the Roughriders can rely on right now except for get-ting better as a unit. The phrase “Next man up” holds true for the 2014 Riders more than any team as if the magic is going to return to Taylor Field, the entire team is going to have to improve. Blocking will have to be better, route running will need to improve, turnovers will need to be limit-ed, tackling will need to get better. Missing star players that gave the team that extra difference in close games, the Roughriders are going to have to win by playing fundamentally sound until they can get some momentum going. That should start in the bye week as the team continues to attempt to make the key adjustments, just don’t expect any fi reworks for the time being while they do.

To YBID Members,Residents of Yorkton and Public Offi cials

The last several days have been one that has been trying for many of us. Be you a business person, an employee or public employee or offi cial, or a resident, it’s been a time that has tested all of us.

On behalf of the YBID Board of Directors we wish to pass along our fullexpression of thanks to all!

We can name people such as Mayor Maloney, who did not waste time in making the right decisions, City Council who supported his options and worked with him. Our MLA who worked quickly to pass along valuable information to our Premier. Premier Wall who acted swiftly both with our provinces fi nances as well asseeking support from the Federal Government for those who needed it most.

But there are a those directly involved, not elected, usually not in the forefront, but they are there working for us. Our public service employees. Far too many to name, but include protective services, RCMP, Fire and Ambulance and BylawEnforcement, The many men and women of the city departments from Public Works to Environment, to Finance and Administration, who not only worked to reduce the fl ood waters in our city but assist those who needed paperwork done and questions answered and worked hours of overtime. You know who you are.

Thanks to our community media who worked hard to keep us informed with the most up to date information as possible.

Last but certainly not least, our YBID Member Businesses, and other businesses in Yorkton and area. They are the ones who quietly contributed cash, goods and services and time to those who were in need.

This past weekend not one but two fund raising Country Shows at the Painted Hand Casino, supported by many with thousands of dollars going towards many needs through the Salvation Army. Thank you to all performers from theSaskatchewan Country Music Association lead by Murray Yung.

We have a slogan in Yorkton, “A Place Where Good Things Happen”. Even after a bad situation Yorkton people step forward and correct the wrong making it right! To those unknown friends and neighbours, strangers and visitors, the Yorkton Business Improvement District Board of Directors

Thank you Yorkton
