Tegan Naumann and Carnell Olsen get in on the mudslinging action during W.P. Sandin High School’s year-end fun day.

With the oppressive summer heat mak-ing it hard to focus in class, and the stress of looming final exams, students at WP Sandin were likely in need of a way to blow off some steam. Luckily, they got just that when the school hosted its annual Sum-merfest bash last Thursday afternoon.

W.P. Sandin has been hosting these fun day events for all of its students for a num-ber of years, and they serve as a means to help students cool off and de-stress before students in Grades 10 through 12 have to write their year-end exams.

“These kinds of activities are to build school spirit, and show kids that there’s more to school,” said teacher Nicole Philp after the 2016 Summerfest. “The curricu-

lum is important, but making connec-tions, enjoying school and enjoying each other is equally important.”

In the past, the highlight of Summerfest has been a school-wide water fight. But back in 2015, the festivities were expand-ed to include a mud pit, which was put on with the help of the Shellbrook RCMP and the Shellbrook Volunteer Fire Depart-ment. To no one’s surprise, the mud pit ended up being a big hit with students and teachers alike.

While cooler temperatures the past couple years have resulted in the mud pit being left off of the list of Summerfest ac-tivities, conditions last Wednesday were perfect for some mudslinging mayhem,

and students and teachers didn’t hesi-tate to dive (or slip n’ slide) right in and get as dirty as possible – and the fact that the Fire Department got called away to the fire, and the mud was a little dry and cakey did little to dampen their enthusi-asm.

Before things got messy, however, Sum-merfest kicked off with a school-wide game of capture the flag. Then, after work-ing up a sweat, there was no better way to cool off than to get covered (and cover all of your friends) in a thick coat of mud.

Of course, there was still a water fight going on. But, when it came to getting wet, most students were more interested in making use of the slip n’ slide – or,

better yet, getting hosed off by volunteer firefighter Tyler Wendel, who was able to return to the festivities just as they were ending.

While Friday, June 29 is listed as the Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Divi-sion’s end of the school year, the last day of actual classes for students in Grades 6 through 9 was June 27. Students in Grades 10 through 12, however, wrote their final exams on June 22, 25, and 26, and the school held its academic awards night June 27.

The 2018-2019 school year begins Tues-day, Sept. 4. Good luck over the next two months, parents!

W.P. Sandin athletes honoured after strong year

Capping off a 2017-2018 school year in which its student athletes won championship banner af-ter championship banner at many levels of compe-

tition, W.P Sandin High School celebrated the ath-letic feats of its students at an athletics awards ceremony held in the jam-packed school gym on

Wednesday afternoon.Up until last year, these

athletic awards were typi-cally handed out along-side the school’s academic achievement awards. But the athletics awards were moved to a separate day, both to shorten the length of the ceremonies, and to give the athletes their turn in the spotlight.

The athletics awards ceremony, MCed by teacher Kirk Pilon, saw 32 awards handed out to students across seven dif-ferent sporting catego-ries, including volleyball,

cross-country, basketball, curling, badminton, track and field, and football.

Before the awards were handed out, however, W.P. Sandin High School prin-cipal, Harriet Tomporows-ki, had a few words and thanks yous to share with the athletes, the staff, and the parents.

“As a staff, we are proud of the extracurricular op-portunities we are able to offer, thanks to the com-mitment and dedication of our staff,” she said.

“The number of students participating is steadily increasing, and, at times, are coaches wonder how they’re going to give every-one enough practice time. But isn’t that a wonderful problem to have?”

With the introductions out of the way, the vol-leyball awards were up first. This year’ Grade 6/7 girls volleyball MVP was Brandi Nelson. Mean-while, Mya Sommerfeld was named the junior girls MVP, Lynden Kerber was selected as the junior boys MVP, and Rebekka Potts was given the senior girls MVP award.

“The recipient of this award was a leader on and

off the court. She always did her best in every game, and encouraged every member to do the same. Each practice she dedi-cated herself to improving her volleyball skills, and challenged her teammates at practice,” said senior girls volleyball coach, Na-tasha Kostyniuk, of Potts.

Once the MVP certifi-cates were handed out, the Junior girls volleyball team was brought up on stage for a special recogni-tion of their strong season, which saw them claim the Prince Albert and Area Athletics Association’s (P4A) Rural Champion-ship banner.

In cross-country, three awards were handed out, including the junior girls MVP award to Daja Stieb. Meanwhile, Cohen Tait was named the Junior boys MVP, and Alex Wil-son earned senior boys MVP honours.

“She trained hard and can run like the wind. In order to pick her out of a pack of runners, you just

need to look somewhere near the front, and there she is, easily identifi-able by her long, graceful stride, and the long pony-tail streaming out behind her,” said cross-country coach, Nicole Philp, of Stieb’s accomplishments throughout the season.

Once again, after the MVP awards were handed out, the school’s cross-country team was brought up on stage to be recog-nized for winning the P4A small school winner ban-ner.

Moving onto basketball, the Grade 6 and 7 girls and boys MVP awards were handed out to Rebecca Grimard and Brayden Pay-ette, respectively, while Marissa Skvlebo was named junior girls MVP, and Mason Gallant earned junior boys MVP honours.

Rounding out the bas-ketball honours, Tyson Crawford earned the Grade 9/10 boys MVP award, and Pierce Craw-ford was named the senior boys MVP.

It was a particularly strong year for track and field at W.P. Sandin, with the novice boys, peewee girls, and bantam girls all claiming P4A championship banners in competition.

W.P. Sandin athletes honoured after strong year“This year’s MVP is a

leader by example. His abil-ity and dedication to the game of basketball allows him to be a dominant mem-ber of our team, especially underneath the basket,” said senior boys basketball coach, Devon Thorpe, of Pierce’s accomplishments.

After the MVP awards, the junior girls basketball team was invited up on the stage. The team claimed the P4A Grade 7/8 champi-onship banner.

Keeping the afternoon rolling, the attention was turned to curling, where Payten Keyowski was named Junior Girls MVP and Carson Ledding earned junior boys MVP honours. In the senior cat-egory, Alexis Stochman-ski was the girls’ MVP, and Paxton Tremblay earned MVP honours for the boys.

The senior curling team was also recognized for winning the Saskatchewan High School Athletics As-sociation’s sportsmanship banner at the 2018 provin-cial championship.

“This young lady has demonstrated great leader-ship, precise shot making, and was always looking to perfect her skills,” said se-nior curling coach, Marliese Kasner, of Stochmanski.

Following a strong bad-

minton season, six MVP awards were given out, including the Grade 6/7 girls MVP award to Megan Cameron, and the 6/7 boys MVP award to Kaden Mc-Quarrie.

Meanwhile, Marissa Skavlebo was the junior girls MVP, Ben Lafond was the junior boys MVP, and Hunter and Paxton Trem-blay earned senior girls and boys MVP honours, respec-tively.

Elsewhere, the junior badminton team was rec-ognized for winning the 2018 P4A rural champion-ship.

“She attended every practice, and many noon hour sessions, ferociously working on her skills, and breaking the game down piece by piece. She found her smash this year, and respectfully scared oppo-nents with her newfound intensity, and her kind, contagious smile,” said badminton coach, James Meyers, of Cameron’s achievements.

In what was a highly successful track and field season, four MVP awards were handed out, start-ing with the junior female MVP award, which was presented to Marissa Ska-vlebo, and the junior male MVP award, which went to

Dawson Stieb. Among seniors, Alexis

Stochmanski was named senior female MVP, and Ryan Potts earned senior male MVP honours.

After these awards were handed out, the novice boys, peewee girls, and bantam girls track and field teams were all brought up on stage. Each of these teams won the P4A cham-pionship banners in their respective age groups.

“These two athletes were committed to achiev-ing personal bests. They trained with that goal in mind, and competed at ev-ery meet with a very posi-tive attitude. Both of these athletes were quiet leaders on our track team,” said coach, Nicole Philp, of Sto-chmanski and Potts.

Wrapping up the student athletic awards were the football awards. This year, Mathew Moore earned most versatile player hon-ours, while Dakota Moore was named the team’s line-man of the year. Elsewhere, Ethan Bell earned rookie of the year honours, Nathan

Anderson earned the heart and soul award, and Ryan Potts was named the team’s MVP for the second year in a row.

“This year’s winner showed tremendous heart in every sense of the word. He played every play with 100 per cent effort, in a po-sition where you need both physical and mental tough-ness,” said coach, Devon

Thorpe, of Potts.Closing out the after-

noon, teacher and coach Joanne Tremblay was pre-sented with the North Cen-tral District Athletic Asso-ciation’s Female Coach of the Year Award.

“Since starting at W.P. she has immersed herself in athletics,” said principal Tomporowski, before out-lining Tremblay’s laundry

list contributions.“During the 2017-2018

school year, Mrs. Tremblay has volunteered 19,045 minutes... which calculates to almost eight 40-hour work weeks on top of her full-time teaching position. Mrs. Tremblay’s passion for athletics, the time she con-tributes, and her high de-gree of knowledge, set her apart.”

Badminton MVP winners: Megan Cameron (6/7 girls), Marissa Skavlebo (ju-nior girls), Hunter Tremblay (senior girls), Paxton Tremblay (senior boys), Ben Lafond (junior boys), and Kaden McQuarrie (6/7 boys).

OPINIONOPINION“World Cup…Again”

In the event you haven’t noticed, most of the world, civilized and otherwise, is caught up in the throes of the once-every-four-years-madness called the World Cup, in which national teams from 32 countries take to the field in search of the pinnacle of soccer success. Unlike the World Series, this is truly an event encompassing the entire world.

The four years leading up to the major event are taken up with regional tournaments to determine just who those 32 teams are going to be. Canada, a soccer neophyte, has never reached the world stage. Maybe someday we will, but not for a while yet.

Perhaps 2026, when some of the World Cup of that year will be hosted in North America, but even then, only if we get an entry due to being a host. Since the U.S. is expected to hold 50 games and both Canada and Mexico get the other ten, I

wouldn’t hold my breath.One thing we as Canadians must

do in order to really understand and enjoy the sport of soccer is to educate ourselves on some of the terminology, that has a decidedly British flair. For starters, while we may call the game “soccer,” in the soccer world it is known as “football”.

And they don’t play the game on a field, they play it on a pitch. Therefore, what we would know as a soccer field is in reality a football pitch.

One similarity in officiating the game of soccer, err, football, is that both games have a referee, and the referee in both sports has to put up with a lot

of abuse from players. Physical contact is frowned upon, of course, as it should be, but watch a football match and just watch how much crying they get from players if they feel they have been wrongly treated, which could be on just about any play that doesn’t go their way.

The referee in soccer has a tremendous amount of power, and he wields it indiscriminately, but possibly fairly. Not only does he determine whether a foul has been committed or not, but he decides how long the match is played. Football consists of two halves, consisting of 45 minutes of straight time, plus as much injury time as the referee thinks ought to be played. When he thinks the injury time has gone on long enough, he blows his whistle and calls it either half-time or full-time.

Injuries are common in football. Quite often, two feet will aim to strike the ball at the same time. Sometimes a foot will contact the foot of an opponent, who will then collapse to the turf in pain, casting a furtive glance toward the referee to see if he picked up on the action and will call a foul.

Sometimes the fouls aren’t very serious, and all the fouled gets is a free kick. Sometimes it’s judged to be more serious, and the fouler will be scolded by having a yellow card flashed at him and his name written in the referee’s book. If it’s really serious, the fouler can be given a red card, which means he’s ejected from the match and will likely miss the next game.

Portugal came close to losing their star player, Ronaldo, in Monday’s match against Iran. He and an Iranian player were jostling for position, and in his attempt to get by the Iranian, Ronaldo straightened his arm, which seemed to come close enough to the Iranian’s jaw that he was able to fall to the ground and appear near death.

The referee was able to use one of the more recent tools at his disposal – video review – using it to reply the incident, slow motion back and forth, in the end deciding in favour of the Iranian. Ronaldo got a yellow card and the Iranian got a penalty kick, which resulted in the tying goal because penalty kicks are about 95 per cent successful.

Ronaldo had a penalty kick earlier in the match. His fell into the other 5 per cent. The goalie miraculously guessed right and was able to stop it. Two more weeks of this. By then, we’ll be ready for hockey.

~Columnist

If the online comment sections of just about every major media outlet are anything to go by, it seems there’s no shortage of Canadians who find the idea of social assistance (or welfare, if that’s what you prefer to call it) to be wholly unpalatable.

Some of these people object to the very existence of social assistance, and believe that it should be every man woman and child for himself, regardless of the circumstances one comes from or finds oneself in, and that no one should be given the fruits of someone else’s hard labour.

While this cynical perspective seems to forget that the whole purpose of building civilization was to pool our resources and talents, and leverage them to build something greater than ourselves, it is true that there are some people, who for many possible reasons, take more from society than they contribute to it.

But the greater problem, by far, with social safety nets like welfare, disability, and employment insurance, are the seeming inequity with which they are distributed to those who are supposedly in need of them.

There are many whose need for these taxpayer-funded programs is genuine – veterans disabled in service of our country, people born, through no fault of their own, into cycles of poverty and who need a simple leg up to break those cycles, and people who were laid off due to unexpected workplace cutbacks, to name a few.

But then, there are those who have no desire to contribute anything to society at any point in their lives, and those who are content to enjoy their free ride, and who know how to rig the system to work in their favour at the expense of others.

Granted, these latter types are fewer and farther between than social assistance critics would have the rest of us believe. But they do still exist, and they are symptoms of the flaws and inequities in Canada’s social safety net that require fixing.

Now, I bring up the contentious topic of individual social assistance because, last week, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe pitched a novel idea that would make the federal-provincial equivalent of social assistance, equalization payments, more equitable.

Under the equalization program, federal tax dollars from the provinces are pooled together, then doled out to the

supposed “have-not” provinces to level the fiscal playing field.

This year, that equalization pot was nearly $19 billion. And for the 11th year in a row, Saskatchewan, being a “have” province, will receive nothing. Meanwhile, Quebec will receive $11 billion (58 per cent of the pot).

Being no expert on the federal government’s equalization program, I can only say that giving more than 50 per cent of the pot to a province that is home to less than 25 per cent of Canada’s population seems more than a little unfair.

If this were an anomaly, or the product of Quebec’s economy having a tough year and needing a hand up, that would be understandable. However, Finance Canada’s data shows that,

over the last 60 years, Quebec has received 51.4 per cent of equalization program funds.

That’s $221 billion dollars to a province that, on its best day, isn’t even entirely certain that it wants to be part of this country. All the while, Saskatchewan has received just $8 billion (2 per cent) in equalization payments over the same 60-year period.

This fact raises two major questions. The first, why is it that Quebec’s economy has made it a “have-not” province for most of the past 60 years? The second, why isn’t Quebec’s government doing anything to change that?”

More importantly, though, Quebec’s majority share of equalization funds inspired Mr. Moe’s proposed change to the program: that half of equalization program dollars be distributed as normal, and the rest be split equally amongst the provinces on a per capita basis.

It’s a selfish suggestion, of course. But then, Mr. Moe is supposed be selfish on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan, and it’s not like $300 million (Mr. Moe’s estimate of Saskatchewan’s share under the revised equalization program) will be missed by other provinces.

Unfortunately, for as equitable as it may be, Mr. Moe’s proposal is one that’s unlikely to go far.

The equalization program was just renewed for five years in Ottawa’s spring budget (without the provinces even being consulted). And it’s unlikely that there will ever be a federal government, of any stripe, that has the courage to sacrifice its Quebecois support in the name of fairness.

Moe’s equalization pitch sensible, but unlikely to gain traction

Sask. Party isn’t winning on rural pop. growthThere are ample reasons

why rural Saskatchewan will overwhelmingly support the Saskatchewan Party when the next election rolls around in 2020.

Sometimes, voting patterns can be a matter of habit. Politicians are aware of this and it becomes the old adage in sales that it is far less expensive to maintain an old customer than attract a new one.

So it’s likely that Sask. Party rural candidates will be successful because they have been successful.

Notwithstanding that 11 of their 30 rural MLAs are still in their first term, rural Sask. Party MLAs average about nine years in office. Such familiarity is exceedingly helpful at the polls.

But obviously more critical to long runs in elected office is belonging to a party whose

philosophy and policies are favourable to your electorate.

Admittedly, this is party that actually promised very little that was new in former premier Brad Wall’s last general election campaign in 2016. Nor did Moe’s promise much while securing the Sask. Party leadership in January.

However, issues like reducing the education property taxes on agricultural land or general support of agriculture and oil and mining that drive the rural economy are all part of a Sask. Party narrative that resonates well in rural Saskatchewan. So does opposition to the federal Liberal government carbon tax that has been Premier Scott Moe’s foremost issue.

Finally, it’s helpful that the Sask. Party’s campaign platforms, government policies and free-enterprise

philosophy contrasts so much with its only real political rival, the NDP. With little Liberal or Progressive Conservative presence in this province, the Sask. Party pretty much has that rural vote cornered.

Add all this up and one can expect rural Saskatchewan to deliver Moe and the Sask. Party another majority government in 2020. In fact, the government has pretty

much assured this by deciding not to reduce the number seats in Saskatchewan legislature. To do so would have meant having to reduce the current 30 rural seats because of rural de-population.

However, there is huge irony here: For all of the Sask. Party’s success in rural Saskatchewan, it’s failed in this area most historically critical to rural Saskatchewan.

Earlier this month, the government released Statistics Canada figures revealing a record Saskatchewan population of 1,117,240 – 1,488 more people in the first three months of this year, 11,691 more people in the past year, and 157,806 more Saskatchewan people in the last decade.

That’s 48 consecutive quarters of growth in Saskatchewan, the “longest period of sustained growth

since quarterly records were first published in 1971” noted Economy Minister Jeremy Harrison.

This is surely a grand achievement for a province that’s defined itself by losing people to other provinces.

But here’s the thing: it’s not really rural Saskatchewan that’s benefitted by the province’s population boom.

StatsCan numbers also show that from July 2007 to July 2017, Saskatoon’s census metropolitan area population increased by 79,058 to 323,809 and Regina’s increased by 50,379 to 253,220.

That pretty much means 80 per cent of Saskatchewan’s growth has been in the two major cities, alone. With much of the remainder of that growth in Moose Jaw, Prince Albert and other smaller cities, we haven’t

seen the turnaround in rural Saskatchewan we’ve seen elsewhere.

And don’t expect one anytime soon.

Net interprovincial migration (those moving into Saskatchewan from other provinces compared with those moving out) was a minus 2,526 in the first quarter of 2018. From 2014 to 2017, Saskatchewan saw net interprovincial losses of 2,552, 4,897, 5,451 and 9,397, respectively.

These are people leaving rural Saskatchewan for Alberta and elsewhere.

Obviously, one can’t fault the Sask. Party for not turning around something no government could turn around.

But it is a reminder that not even the Sask. Party has been able to turnaround this reality.

YOUR TWO CENTS~Dear editor,The Leader Post’s “Manitoba prosecutors conclude GTH

investigation” article nicely updated the utterly confounding (and most likely criminal) land dealings that went down several years ago between political and private sector players in the vicinity of the Global Transportation Hub.

And those bizarre circumstances obviously raised enough red flags to catch the attention of RCMP inspectors and Manitoba Justice prosecutors.

However, just over a year ago a local group (that is strongly opposed to every aspect of the Regina Bypass project) entrusted me with their binders containing information they had unearthed regarding the bypass’s highly suspicious planning, re-planning, land procuring and construction phases.

Once I had poured over their eye-opening pages it seemed blatantly evident to me that other influential business associates of our provincial government were able to

redirect a critical section of the Southeast Regina bypass and twist it into tremendous cash generating ventures for their respective corporate entities.

Those corporate raiders purchased tracts of land in close proximity to Tower Road in 2012. Then in May of 2013, it appears they--along with select municipal and provincial government stakeholders--participated in a series of closed- door meetings.

And those secretive gatherings seemed to be the breeding grounds (i.e. ground zero) that spawned the Sask Party’s fateful (i.e. infamous) decision to reposition that critical section of the bypass from along Tower Road to 400 metres east of Tower Road.

That abrupt decision sent out very powerful seismic shock waves. The impact of that fateful decision has already “gifted” the provincial government’s enterprising business friends with tens of millions of dollars – primarily because their recently acquired land holdings ended up being

perfectly positioned for a mega mall development and for the opportunities to resell portions of their land to the government (at outrageously inflated prices, of course).

But for too many others, the impact was absolutely devastating, primarily because their long-held land holdings ended up in the (repositioned) pathways of the East Regina Bypass; and therefore fair game for the Ministry of Highway’s land procurers to either expropriate or purchase their properties (at outrageously undervalued prices, of course).

In my opinion, if the Eastside Schemers are not questioned and investigated--by the appropriate legal and law enforcement authorities--the legacy of our great province will be forever sullied by what appears to be the most egregious incidents of misappropriations of taxpayer funds in the history of Saskatchewan.

Viewing insects as a potential food sourceRecently I was on one

of the more notable social media sites and there was a post that was drawing a lot of at-tention, most of it cit-ing disgust. The post was about baking bread containing f lour made from ground cock-roaches.

Most people were quite reactive to the post showing little in-terest in even being willing to try the bread based on curiosity.

In North America the idea of consuming insects as part of our regular diets is admit-tedly foreign. The rea-son is probably as sim-ple as the fact we have

not needed to munch insects because there is an abundance of what we see as better choic-es.

We have solidly placed insects into the ‘icky’ and ‘eww’ com-partment of our brains.

It is however rather ironic to think that so many of us enjoy shrimp, and are willing to pay rather high pric-es for lobster, which are both essentially ‘sea bugs’ that scurry around the ocean f loor foraging for food among whatever happens to have passed through a fish as it swam by over-head.

In terms of ‘eww,’

people might want to follow some free-range chickens one day and see just what they are willing to peck at to find food.

And let us not forget that many cheeses are enjoyed with mould as part of the taste experi-ence.

So adding insects to our diets wouldn’t be much of a stretch once we get past the internal barriers we have cre-ated for no good reason except we have at some point been taught bugs are not to be eaten.

It turns out however that a large number of insects are quite ed-ible, from certain types of scorpions, and cock-roaches through to f lies, bees and meal-worms.

Now you would cer-tainly want to be knowl-edgeable regarding source and preparation of any bugs, although that is good advice for anything we eat, but

the take away here is that insects could be a source of food moving forward.

We know two things are part of our current reality, our world popu-lation is growing, and the arable land base to grow food upon is shrinking. If those two things continue, one day current farming will not be able to feed the world.

Enter bugs stage right.

Many insects have surprisingly high nutri-tional value, the afore-mentioned cockroach f lours being a good source of added pro-tein. The f lour made of

cockroaches developed by two scientists from the Federal University of Rio Grande in Bra-zil contains 40 per cent more protein than nor-mal wheat f lour.

In terms of feeding the world that may be-come significant, es-pecially since insects can often be raised on foodstuffs not directly in competition with hu-mans, and they require less room and produce less waste than tradi-tional livestock.

So it may not be that long before a legitimate farm option will be rais-ing cockroaches, meal-worms and crickets to help feed the world.

Op-ed: Cereals Canada’s irresponsible GM wheat policyBy Stewart Wells

The discovery of genetically modi-fied (GM) spring wheat plants growing in Alberta is disappointing and dam-aging to Canadian farmers. And so is the reaction by Cereals Canada -- an industry-dominated group that falsely claims to represent Canadian wheat farmers.

An article published in 2014 quotes Cereals Canada President Cam Dahl saying, “Cereals Canada’s support for GM wheat is consistent with the pol-icy of its member associations, which includes the Grain Growers, miller’s association and life science compa-nies. The policy was adopted by Ce-reals Canada board of Directors…” Following a GM wheat contamination incident in Oregon in 2014, Cereals Canada also signed on to a statement in support of further investment in, and commercialization of genetically modified wheat. Cereals Canada sup-ported an irresponsible policy then, and they haven’t learned anything from Canada losing important mar-kets now.

Escapes of genetically engineered plants and resulting market disrup-tions were predicted by the NFU 15 years ago and were a major reason for the NFU’s opposition to GM wheat. Japan, which was the highest priced market when the Canadian Wheat Board was marketing Canadian wheat, has stopped all shipments of Canadian wheat and flour. Others may follow. In June, 2003 an NFU media release highlighted the unacceptable risks of GM wheat, calling it BSE for Grain Farmers:

“Canadian cattle producers are experiencing the devastating conse-quences of border closures and market losses that have resulted from BSE. At the same time, however, the Canadian government is considering the ap-proval of the grain system equivalent of BSE: genetically-modified wheat. GM wheat will lead to massive market losses and will effectively close bor-ders to Canadian exports. But unlike BSE -- which can be rooted out and markets and borders reopened -- the devastating effects of GM wheat will be permanent.”

Rather than recognize that their blind support of GM wheat has helped create today’s contamination prob-lem, Cereals Canada and its members were quick to revert to the “it’s all safe” biotech industry mantra, which ignores the very real market problems they helped to create. And therein lies one of the central problems with Cere-als Canada -- on this issue, and many others, some of its Board members are in a conflict of interest. For a so-called life science company, passing up an opportunity to sell more chemicals or seed would contradict their company’s interests.

There is no question that the poli-cies of Cereals Canada members such as the Western Canadian Wheat Growers and Grain Growers of Cana-da helped provide Monsanto and the government the cover they needed to seed experimental plots of GM wheat at secret and undisclosed locations 15 years ago, over the strongest objec-tions of organizations like the Nation-al Farmers Union. (Even provincial

governments were not trusted to know the locations of the plots.)

The farmer-run Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) also recognized the mar-keting liability that GM wheat posed. In 2003 the CWB’s media relations manager said, “Our customers are telling us they don’t want to buy GM wheat, the market is telling us they don’t want it, and we certainly haven’t seen evidence that people want it”.

The CWB stood up for the interests of Canadian farmers and our inter-national customers who do not want GMO wheat. No doubt its firm op-position to GM wheat is another rea-son that members of Cereals Canada worked so hard to destroy the CWB. Clearly, Cereals Canada cannot be trusted to represent the interests of Canadian wheat farmers.

And Cereals Canada has worked against the interests of farmers on other issues, as well. By continually undermin-ing the Canadian Grain Commission, and calling for U.S. grain to freely enter Canada and be comingled with Canadi-an grain, Cereals Canada promotes other irrespon-sible policies. It would be untenable to maintain the current rail rates (MRE) if large amounts of U.S. grain were clog-ging up the Canadian transportation system.

Cereals Canada has recently embarked on a

plan to merge with/take over the Ca-nadian International Grains Institute (CIGI). The farmer checkoff money that helps support CIGI makes CIGI a target that is just too good to pass up. However, with the mission statement “to be the trusted independent source for milling, quality and end-use func-tionality expertise for millers and end users of Canadian grain to increase market opportunities and end-user success”, CIGI does incredibly im-portant work on behalf of Canadian farmers and it would be extremely damaging to have CIGI taking the same irresponsible policy positions endorsed by Cereals Canada. Given its track record, Cereals Canada has no right to a merger or takeover of the CIGI.

There's nothing quite like the sum-mer months on the prairies.

The warmth after six-plus months of winter, the buzz of activity on the ball diamonds, and the days and evenings spent at the lakes or around campfires, are all augmented by the fact that, on any given day, one can walk down Main Street and smell the mouth-wa-tering smell of burgers sizzling on the grill.

And, what makes it even better is the fact those burgers being grilled up are usually being grilled up for a good cause – whether it be the U19 Shell-brook Rangers fastball club, a Youth Travel Club, the Shellbrook Swimming Pool, or any other number of worthy local organizations.

Among all these fundraiser barbe-cues, however, Affinity Credit Union's annual community barbecue in Shell-

brook has become one of the most en-during, and also the most successful.

Affinity has been holding its commu-nity barbecue for a number of years, with the proceeds from each barbecue going to a different cause. This year, the group working to build a dog park in Shellbrook was the recipient of the proceeds from the barbecue, which was held Friday, June 15 and raised $1,155.

"Our staff have discussions each year on who they would think could benefit, what organizations haven’t we helped, any new events or organizations that have been formed," explained Affin-ity's Lisa Anderson.

"We then let the staff vote on which organization we should give funds to. Each year it is a different recipient."

For Affinity, the annual commu-nity barbecue is all about sustaining

the community organi-zations that help make Shellbrook the communi-ty that it is. But Anderson says it's also an opportu-nity for fun, and a chance for Affinity to give back to the community

"Having some fun within our staff group and serving commu-nity members is a real great way to give back to our great community of Shellbrook," said Ander-son.

To this end, Anderson says the continued sup-port of the community is greatly appreciated, be-cause it's helping to keep important community organizations alive.

Canwood Co-op BBQ raises $890 for Canwood LegionOn June 7 the Can-

wood Co-op teamed up with its local Affinity Credit Union branch to

hold a fundraising BBQ for the Canwood Le-gion Branch #132.

The weather cooper-

ated and the commu-nity came out in full force to support the Le-gion. At the end of the

day, $890 was raised.Canwood Legion

Branch #132 was es-tablished in 1930. A ladies’ auxiliary was formed in 1949, and the current home of Legion Branch #132 was built in 1954.

Currently the legion is made up of 35 mem-bers, all of whom are dedicated to serving the community and its many veterans.

The legion also con-

tinues to support sports, as their mem-bers are active in both golf and curling, and have gone on to com-pete at the zone, dis-trict, provincial and national levels.

One major priority of the Canwood Legion is their commitment to remembering the sac-rifices of our armed forces.

The Canwood Le-gion provides Remem-

brance Day services for the schools in Can-wood, Debden, and Spiritwood, as well as Whispering Pine Place and, of course, their own annual service at the Legion Hall.

They are dedicated to serving their com-munity, and honouring and respecting those who have sacrificed so much to guarantee the rights and freedoms that we all enjoy.

Shellbrook’s Ryan Smith looking forward to WorldsBy Jordan Twiss

If at first you don’t suc-ceed, try, try again, the old saying goes.

Shellbrook’s own Ryan Smith certainly learned the truth of that adage, even if he only had to try twice before being one of just 17 young Canadians named to Team Canada’s roster for the upcoming 2018 WBSC Junior Men’s Softball World Champion-ships.

“It’s still surreal. It’s not something I would have dreamed of doing the past couple of years. But after putting the work in, it’s a pretty special feeling to be representing your country,” Smith said of the opportunity, noting that he’s just as proud to be representing a town that is home to a lot of “really skilled players.”

Smith’s passion for soft-ball is something he says he comes by honestly. Both of his parents played, and, from a young age, tossing a ball around with them, or

with his brother, was just something to do for fun.

Then, in his Under-13 year, Smith says he started to get into the competitive side of the sport. Those seasons of hard compe-tition have seen Smith, and his teammates over the years, claim numer-ous provincial titles, three Western Canadian silver medals, and a Western Ca-nadian gold medal.

And, playing with Sas-katoon, Smith also earned a national gold medal in 2016.

These accolades paved the way for Smith to par-ticipate in his first Canada ID camp in Saskatoon. Un-fortunately, he didn’t make the cut that year.

Rather than throw in the towel, Smith doubled down over the next year, and earned his ticket to Prince Edward Island af-ter a strong showing at the 2017 Canada ID camp in Prince Albert. From there, he survived the grueling camp and the final round

of cuts, making Team Canada along with just one other Saskatchewan player.

“I knew it was going to be super competitive ball, and that I’d have to be on my A-game, and just learning from it as much as compet-ing hard,” he said.

“The more I learnt from it, the better chance I had of making the team.”

So what made the differ-ence between that first and second attempt to make Team Canada? Smith gives much of the credit to his parents, who have sup-ported him and made ev-erything possible.

He also says he’s had plenty of support from the local players he’s been lucky enough to play with for the past number of years.

“I’d get up, go for a run, do whatever throughout the day, then we’d go hit the batting cages for two hours. I would catch for a pitcher buddy of mine for a couple of hours, then we’d

work out. We’d do that day after day, and it definitely helped me a lot.”

While most would view this schedule as exhaust-ing, Smith says it taught him a valuable lesson.

“You get more out of ev-erything when you buy in. You listen to your coaches, your mentors, and your parents. You just trust whatever they have to say, because there’s always stuff to learn.

“It’s made me a much better ball player.”

Throughout the 2018 softball season, Smith has been suiting up for the U19 Shellbrook Rangers fastball team, where he is known as a leader in the catcher position, and a big bat in the lineup.

The team’s busy sched-ule has seen Smith on the diamonds four or five times per week, and Smith says the constant reps are only helping to improve his game ahead of worlds.

And while a global title is no doubt on Smith’s mind, he says he’s mostly just looking forward to the experience with his

teammates on Team Can-ada, whom he refers to as “outstanding community guys.”

“It would be awesome to go and win it, but the expe-rience with all the guys... just to be there with them, trying our hardest, all rep-resenting the country for one goal... it’s going to be something special. Some-thing I won’t forget.”

The 2018 WBSC Ju-nior Men’s Softball World Championships are being

hosted in Prince Albert at the diamonds at Prime Ministers Park.

The tournament, which features 13 teams includ-ing Canada, runs from July 7 to 15, with Canada’s first action, against peren-nial rival Team USA, com-ing at 7:30 p.m. on July 7.

4-H Regional Show updateBy Dave Hyndman,

Herald reporterFor a number of rea-

sons, there were some serious errors in the write-up on the 73rd Regional 4H Show, held June 3-4, as reported in the June 14 Spiritwood Herald and June 21 Shellbrook Chronicle.

These errors need to be addressed, because if these kids are going to spend all the time and effort with their animals, they deserve to see the right infor-mation in the write-up.

Artisans, flowers bloom at Honeywood nurseryThere was much in bloom at

Honeywood Heritage Nursery on Sunday, when the provincial heri-tage site kicked off summer in co-lourful style with its annual Artists in Bloom event.

A spiritual successor to the for-mer Parkland Artisan Tour (on which Honeywood was a popular stop), Artists in Bloom sees many of the artisans who once participated in the tour gather at Honeywood to offer convenient one-stop shop-ping.

For visitors, that means a day of strolling through the grounds, perusing the handcrafted wares of talented local artisans, listening to live music (provided, this year, by Jim and Beryl Peake), enjoying grilled burgers and pies made with fruit grown on the grounds, and much, much more.

All told, 196 people and 15 arti-sans, including mainstays Hanni-gan’s Honey, Barb Grimm, and Art Jones, as well as newcomers Dan’s Woodcraft and feather painter Lu-cille Scott, swung by Honeywood on Sunday, in spite of the dire fore-

cast. As a result, Honeywood’s take at the gate was nearly $1,000, and the artisans were quite pleased with their profits as well.

Indeed, aside from one brief downpour at 4 p.m. that soaked visitors to the bone and caused things to shut down a little early, Honeywood’s Judy Harley says she couldn’t really have asked for a bet-ter day – aside from always wanting more people to drop by, of course.

“The nursery is looking absolute-ly gorgeous this year. It’s very, very nice. We’ve got really good staff, and they just are doing an excellent job of manicuring the grounds,” she said.

“Peonies were blooming, early lil-ies were blooming, and day lilies. There was lots of bloom out here. People enjoyed that, and people who hadn’t been here before were pretty much amazed.”

Harley notes that it’s been a slow and steady season, thus far, with visitors trickling in and out pretty much every day. But with a couple of weddings booked at the grounds, as well as a fairly full list of events,

things should be picking up soon, just in time for the grounds to burst into full bloom.

This is in stark contrast to last season, when Honeywood faced a devastating attack from army worms. Luckily, Harley says, Hon-eywood was able to avoid that this year, thanks to the continued sup-port of volunteers, and Canadian Tire Prince Albert owner, Malcolm Jenkins.

“He said we had to get that ad-dressed and looked after before they hit, so we had it sprayed, and that stopped the worms. Malcolm has been kind enough to pick up the tab on that spraying, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to af-ford it. It’s quite expensive,” Harley explained.

“Because of that, we didn’t have the devastation that we had last year, and time was put into looking after the grounds instead of clean up. It’s definitely made a differ-ence.”

Harley says that this support, as well as the support of artisans and visitors to the nursery, makes ev-

erything Honeywood does worth-while.

“Without the artists wanting to come and share their work here, and without visitors wanting to come and see what we’ve done, there wouldn’t be much point of us doing what we do.

“It’s a beautiful spot. It’s not just

lilies. People can always see some-thing a little different.”

There should be plenty of “differ-ent” on display on Sunday, July 15, when Honeywood host its annual Lilies in Bloom event. Harley says she hopes people will come out and see Honeywood’s grounds when ev-erything is really in bloom.

Public librarian Dian Campbell, was at the Shellbrook Elementary School to introduce the children to this year’s Summer Reading Pro-gram. She visited with 120 children in six classrooms.

This year the library is bringing to-gether literacy (reading) and S.T.E.M. to help your child’s literacy skills while exposing them to the world of science, technology, engineering, and math.

Children are naturally curious about the world they live in. S.T.E.M. projects allow them to plan, create, build and make. S.T.E.M helps chil-dren with practical skills such as problem solving, creative thinking, and awareness of design. It is a great way for them to experience differ-ent learning styles, while having fun with their friends.

Register at the Library and receive a reading log. Fill in your log and re-turn it to have your name entered to win prizes. Come to the library for S.T.E.M. fun. There will be a new activity each week, including, Lava Rocks, “Personal Logo” Book bags,

Building landmarks, Math Jenga and more. For a complete schedule, visit the Library.

New this year from Head Office, is robotics. Wapiti Library Headquar-ters have developed two Robotics Kits for branch Libraries to use. We will be having these kits out on the following days:

Highlights of a Shellbrook town council meetingShellbrook’s town

council met on June 25 at the council chambers of the municipal office in Shellbrook. Present at the meeting were Mayor George Tompo-rowski, councillors Lyle Banda, Bruce Clements, Lois Freeman, David Knight, and Amund Ot-terson, as well as the town’s administrator Kelly Hoare.

Absent was councillor Kathleen Nording.

Mayor Tomporowski called council’s regu-lar meeting to order at 6:01 p.m., and council began by approving the agenda for the meeting. Council then carried a motion to adopt the minutes of its June 13 regular meeting, and, with no business aris-ing from said minutes, it moved on to provide reports.

In a sparse reports section, public works was the main source of news, as multiple coun-cillors reported hearing complaints from rate-

payers regarding the dust on Main Street, Railway Avenue, and other roads in the town.

Hoare explained that calcium chloride is be-ing applied to roads to control the dust, and that some roads get it automatically, while others get it as needed. She said that she could look into where it has been applied, and where it may still be needed.

In the hospital and clinics report, council-lor Otterson said that things are continuing to progress with the doc-tor who is interested in coming to Shellbrook. With her SIPPA pro-cess going well thus far, Otterson says it’s still looking likely that she’ll be here in September.

In other news, Otter-son confirmed that Dr. Nguegno will be fin-ished practicing in town following one last shift at Parkland Integrated Health Centre over the Canada Day long week-end.

In honour of Dr. Nguegno’s service, staff are planning a farewell for him on June 29 (a time for this wasn’t known at time of pub-lication). Additionally, the town agreed to present a thank you gift to him for his long ser-vice to the community, and carried a motion to present gifts to any long-serving doctors in the future, when they decide to move on.

Moving onto new business, council gave three readings to, and enacted, Bylaw 2018-07, a bylaw to extend the time required for the completion of the town’s 2017 financial statements.

Up next, council car-ried a motion to con-tinue a mowing con-tract with the Ministry of Highways and Infra-structure. The contract sees town staff handle mowing duties at a rate of $78 per hectare.

Councillor Banda was in favour of keeping the

rate the same, as the town increased it last year. He also said the town has the manpower to do it, and the extra income is worth it for the town.

Continuing with new business, council agreed to cancel the Holbein lagoon agree-ment, thereby cancel-ling its service for the

lagoon, on the grounds that the information it was receiving wasn’t enough for the town to cover its liability, and the liability of town em-ployees. Hoare noted that Holbein could seek service elsewhere.

Later in the evening, council authorized the signing of the contract for the Federation of

Canadian Municipali-ties’ (FCM) grant for the Shellbrook Rec-reation Complex. The details of that contract will be made available once FCM makes its of-ficial announcement.

Having no further business, council ad-journed for the evening. Its next meeting date is Monday, July 16.

Librarian Dian Campbell visits with Mr. Hamilton’s Grade 4 class, and shows them the new Robotics (Cubelots) that will be available at the Library this summer as part of the Summer Reading Program.

Leko’s Conservation Corner – Orphaned wild animals Wildlife in Saskatch-

ewan often give birth to their young in May and June. We want to remind everyone to view these animals from a distance and not interact with them. Resist the urge to pick them up just because you think that they are abandoned or lost.

Many wildlife species will hide their young so they are not easy prey for predators. Rest assured the mother knows where they are and will return in most cases. Deer fawns are probably the most in-terfered with animal be-cause the doe can leave the fawn unattended for up to eight hours. This minimizes the scent of the doe on the fawn which in turn attracts predators like coyotes.

Rarely is taking a wild animal out of the wild a good idea, and in many cases does not end well for the young animal.

There are many rea-sons why you should leave them alone. Firstly, you can’t be sure that it is abandoned. Second, you don’t have the train-ing or facilities required to properly raise a young wild animal.

Finally, animals can carry disease and para-sites that are transferable to humans. Some of these include rabies, E. coli, tu-laremia, and many oth-ers.

The Captive Wildlife Regulations make it an offence to possess and release any of these ani-mals, such as deer, with-out a valid permit. These permits are only given to trained professionals who have the facilities

and education required to properly care for wildlife and eventually release them back into the wild.

As a conservation of-ficer, I have seized fawns from people that have been feeding it homog-enized milk, grass, oats and a variety of cereals that my kids would not even eat. Often by the time I arrive, the fawn is dehydrated and malnour-ished.

I have also been called to remove a deer in No-vember after the people have raised it since it was small. As I pull into the driveway, it comes running up to my truck, along with the dog, and with flagging tape around its little antlers.

See, now it is not so cute. It was starting to do damage to the yard due to its size, and getting a bit aggressive because it is experiencing a new sensation called the rut. During the rut, male deer can get very dangerous as they are focused on dis-playing and competing for mates.

With all species of wild-life, the best thing to do is leave them alone. The mother will eventually return for it, but may not if you are hanging around the area.

If you see a fawn, there are some things to con-sider before you inter-vene. When I look at a fawn (from a distance) I take note of whether it is vocal, whether it is cov-ered with flies, whether it is wet (which means it may have been there overnight),or if it is in-jured.

The only time that it

may be okay to remove a fawn from its mother is when you can clearly see that the mother is dead. Even then, the best thing to do would be to note the fawn’s location and call your local conservation officer or use the TIP line at 1-800-667-7561. The CO will determine the best course of action.

When we arrive, peo-ple sometimes say “Well you’re just going to kill it now.”This is far from the truth. If the animal looks sick, I will take it to my local vet who will provide me with some guidance and we will make a deci-sion together. Other than that, I will make arrange-ments to get the animal to a qualified animal re-habilitator.

We get many calls on birds. Naked birds or birds with minimal feath-ers may have been blown out of its nest. If this is the case, pick the bird up and place it back into the nest. Your scent will NOT make its mother abandon it.

Fledglings are birds with feathers that are just learning to fly. It’s not like a cartoon, where they hop out of the nest and start flying before they hit the ground. They spend as many as five days on the ground hopping around from shrub to shrub. The parents will be in view most of the time.

Now I know that my column will not make people ignore any animal

in need. Saskatchewan residents and animal lov-ers are not built that way, so I know that many of you will intervene regard-less of my advice. If you are going to do so, a very good source of informa-tion is the Saskatchewan Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. They have a very good group of trained people who can assist you with most species of wildlife that you may encounter. They can be reached on their hotline at 1-306-242-7177.

Here are some con-servation questions that have come up recently.

Q: I shot a nice mule deer scoring 197 about six years ago and I want to sell the shoulder mount. The problem is that I do not have the licence. Can I still sell it?

To obtain a Sale of Wildlife permit to sell any big game animal with the antlers intact, you will

need to prove to the of-ficer that they were law-fully harvested. The only way of doing this is with a valid licence. In a situ-ation like this, a permit would not be issued un-less the antlers were sep-arated from the skull just above or below the burr.

Q: Is it true that it is now an offence to trans-port your boat on a high-way with the drain plug in the hull?

Yes, this is now an of-fence under the Saskatch-ewan Fisheries Regula-tions. The purpose of this new legislation is to pre-vent the movement of any aquatic invasive species. A dry boat is the first step to this goal.

Can I fish in a stocked trout pond when the sea-son is closed?

Yes, angling in stocked

trout ponds in Saskatch-ewan is legal because we do not need to worry about protecting the spawn period as these fish are stocked annu-ally. All you require is your new 2018 Angling li-cence, as the 2017 angling season is now closed.

Until next week…keep your boat cleaned, drained and dry.

Editor’s note: Ministry of Environment conser-vation officer Lindsey Leko has spent more than 26 years as a conserva-tion officer in Saskatch-ewan. For many years, Officer Leko contributed a column to local papers on a variety of issues re-lated to hunting, fishing, and other resource-re-lated issues.

WATIER - Rose Anne “Rose” Watier (nee Scott) was born in Marcelin, Saskatchewan on July 26th, 1924. The daugh-ter of Domitilde and Charles Scott, she grew up in a very large Métis family with 9 siblings, at Mattes, Saskatchewan. Rose met her husband, Joseph, while working as a cook in a logging camp on Smooth Stone Lake.

Rose and Joe were mar-ried in August of 1956 and together they raised 6 children.

In 1963, the fam-ily moved to the farm on Winter Lake where she resided until 2017. Rose loved her farm life with big gardens, milk cows, pigs and chickens. She made sure her family was nourished with whole-some food. She picked buckets of berries, made jams and jellies and canned fruit and pickles every year. She baked the best bread and award winning pies.

Rose’s passion was to create beautiful things. Born at first from neces-sity to keep her family warm, she washed and carded raw wool to knit socks, Siwash sweaters and wool blankets. Then she discovered the art of

quilting. Over several de-cades, Rose made dozens of beautiful quilts and gifted them to each fam-ily member and others. Rose loved adventures… from hunting and fish-ing, to picnics and nature walks, she enjoyed shar-ing these times with fam-ily and friends.

Her work life includ-ed selling Electrolux vacuum cleaners, R.M. councillor, cooking at the Lake View Hotel, and Elections Canada.

Rose will be remem-bered by her children, Paul, Janice, Wade and Patricia (Ron Doorn); and her grandchildren Jeff, Jayson, Sara, Har-ley, Zachary, Otis, Quin-cy, Mario, Shelby and Oshoowa; as well as 19 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. Rose was predeceased by

her husband Joe, 7 sib-lings, her daughters Jane and RoseAnne Jr., her son-in-law Darryl Val-lentgoed, granddaughter Jania and great grand-son, Angel.

Rose wasn’t a big per-son in appearance but she had a big heart and a fiery spirit. She experi-enced some tough times and said some hard goodbyes but she amazed us all with her strength, faith and courage. She believed and trusted in the wisdom of a higher power through it all until her death on June 13th, 2018 at the Lakewood Lodge in Big River.

We will remember

Rose with love always, rest in peace.

Funeral celebrations were held at the Big River Community Centre on June 19th, 2018, with in-terment at the Big River Cemetery. The Funeral Celebrant was Father Mi-chael Fahlman; readers were Taya Watier, Sim-one Wilson and Bertha Smith; music ministry was provided by Julie Price, Dick Braidek and the Community Choir. Honorary Pallbearers are considered “All who knew and loved Rose”. The urn bearer was Jeff Watier and the eulogy was delivered by Jayson Watier. Following a pri-

vate family interment, the family invited all in attendance for lunch and fellowship at the hall. Memorial donations can be made to the Lake-wood Lodge Auxiliary c/o May Fabish, Box 281, Big River, SK, S0J 0E0 in memory of Rose Anne Watier as tokens of re-membrance.

The ‘Johnny Football’ Show comes to CanadaSports can be thrilling;

sports can be humbling. You can sink a 66-foot putt on one hole and miss a four-footer on the next. You can hit a pair of home runs in one game, and strike out four times the next. You can be superstar Johnny Manziel one year — the best college player in the U.S. and a vir-tual can’t-miss pro prospect — and a has-been the next.

But there’s always the next hole, the next baseball game, the next season. For Manziel, the next season is the 2018 Canadian Football League campaign and football fans on both sides of the border will be paying close atten-tion.

Manziel was the biggest name in U.S. college football in 2012, when as a fresh-man with Texas A & M Ag-gies, he won the Heisman Trophy and drove defences crazy because they didn’t know whether he’d run or pass, which he did with equal aplomb. But because he lived

a rather controversial exis-tence off the field, the NFL’s Cleveland Browns waited until the 22nd pick of the first round to draft him into the National Football League following his second season with the Aggies.

With the Browns, Man-ziel showed the occasional flash of brilliance over two seasons, but a series of ques-tionable off-field decisions — booze, arrests, his name showing up on TMZ more of-ten than ESPN — and he was soon an ex-NFLer, released after his second season.

In limbo for two years, Manziel cleaned up his act and humbly accepted the reality that if he wanted to make it back to the NFL, he’d have to start at a lower level. That’s where the CFL came in. Manziel signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, add-ing his name to a starry cast of Americans who over the years have used the CFL as a springboard back to the NFL — Doug Flutie, Warren

Moon, Joe Theismann, Ricky Williams and Cameron Wake to name just five.

So with the CFL season just nicely under way, a sec-ond-string quarterback with the Tiger-Cats is the league’s biggest media draw. ESPN and the NFL Network will be paying attention to Manziel’s exploits, hoping, perhaps, that Ti-Cats starter, Jeremi-ah Masoli, gets benched for some reason.

Out west, Calgary Stam-peders and Edmonton Eski-mos are expected to battle it

out for the West’s berth in the Grey Cup game. The Stamps, the best team in the league the last two years, lost in the big game in back-to-back years, first to Ottawa, then to Toronto last year, and are due to celebrate this November in Edmonton.

But for the first little while, all eyes will be on Manziel, who tries to make Johnny Football a relevant name once again.

• The Athletic’s Kirk Pen-ton on Twitter: “That’s some stellar concussion protocol in this World Cup game. Dude got knocked out. His trainer is now slapping him in an at-tempt to eliminate the cob-webs.”

• Comedy guy Brad Dick-son on Twitter: “Why aren’t there more Triple Crown winners? Imagine Usain Bolt wins a 100-metre dash race. Then, a few weeks later, he wins a 200-metre dash. Then, you take him and stick him in a 5,000 metre race. That’s why.”

• Facebook humour, mix-ing sports and politics, from some unknown contributor: “Triple Crown winner Jus-tify turned down a visit to the White House, saying ‘if I wanted to see a horse’s —-, I’d have finished second.”

• Bob Molinaro of piloton-line.com (Hampton, Va.): “The Toronto Raptors didn’t reach high enough when they replaced fired head coach Dwane Casey with assistant Nick Nurse. Nurse? After col-lapsing against the Cavaliers, the Raptors need a doctor.”

• Janice Hough of leftcoast-sportsbabe.com: “World Cup shocker – Iceland tied Argen-tina! Of course for many the shocker is that Iceland had a World Cup team.”

• Currie again, after Ed-monton Eskimos backup Kevin Glenn became the first QB to be on the roster of all nine CFL cities: “If he was a pitcher, we’d say he had loca-tion issues.”

Poppies for the prairiesBy Sara Williams

John McCrae’s classic World War I poem, In Flander’s Fields, tells of the field poppy, one of over 70 poppy species, mostly native to Europe and Asia. Among these species are annuals, biennials and perennials. Both the common name (poppy) and the botanical name (Papaver) originate from an Anglo-Saxon word that meant sleep, a reference to the opium poppy’s ancient use as a sleep-inducing drug.

Among annual poppies are the lady bird poppy, the field poppy and the opium poppy. The Ice-land poppy is biennial while the Oriental poppy is perennial. Ex-cept for the Oriental poppy, all of these perpetuate themselves by reseeding – generously! Thin the seedlings to 6 to 8 inches apart and dead-head to ensure a longer bloom period.

All poppies do well in full sun in well-drained soil and are drought-tolerant once established. The annual and biennial types trans-plant poorly and are best propa-gated by seed sown directly where they are to be planted; the Orien-tal poppy can be propagated by division or root cuttings.

The ladybird poppy (Papaver commutatum) is native to Turkey, Iran and the Caucasus where it grows on gravelly hills. Only 18 inches high, it has bright red flow-ers with a black spot at the base of each petal. While ‘Ladybird’ is a variety name, it is also used as the common name for this species.

The field poppy (P. rhoeas), with red petals with a black blotch, also called the corn poppy and Flander’s poppy, is native to Eu-rope and Asia. Its common names arise from the fact that it was once a weed in wheat fields (called “corn” in England) and disturbed ground, whether by cultivation or war. The Shirley poppy is a vari-ant that originated in the village of Shirley in Kent in 1880 when the Rev. William Wilks spotted a field poppy with petals edged in white. By careful selection over many years he developed pastel poppies in white, rose-pink and salmon without the characteristic black spot of their parent. Try ‘An-gel’s Choir’ and ‘Pandora.’

The seeds of the opium poppy (P. somniferum) are widely used in breads, cakes, and bagels. Na-tive to Greece and western Asia, the plants grow up to 5 ft. in

height, with single to double flow-ers,4-5 inches across,with black blotches at their base. Colours in-clude red, purple, pink, lavender and white.

The Iceland poppy (P. nudi-caule) is native to the arctic and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America, but not to Iceland! It’s a dainty plant, 12-15 inches in height, with tis-sue paper-like flowers in shades of orange, yellow, white, cream and salmon-pink and some bi-colours. Although a biennial, it flowers its first season from seed.‘Champagne Bubbles’ is a popular variety.

Last but not least is the peren-nial Oriental poppy (Papaver ori-entale.) About 2 ft. in height with coarse, hairy, divided foliage, the flowers are 6-8 inches in diam-eter and bloom in June. Single to double, the colours include white, pink, salmon, orange and red, many with a contrasting central eye. Once about 5 years old, they can be divided and transplanted in August after the foliage has died down but before the new ro-sette has formed. They can also be propagated at this time by tak-ing 2-inch root cuttings of pencil

thickness, setting them horizon-

tally about 3 inches deep. By the following spring, they will have sent up shoots. (To hide their yellowed foliage, Oriental pop-pies are best planted in “diago-nal drifts” surrounded by later flowering perennials.) Among the many varieties are ‘Turkenlouise’ (deeply fringed petals), ‘Beauty of Livermore’, and ‘Perry’s White.’

Sara Williams has authored and coauthored many books in-cluding Gardening Naturally

with Hugh Skinner, Creating the

Prairie Xeriscape, and with Bob Bors, Growing Fruit in Northern Gardens. She gives gardening workshops throughout the prai-ries.
