Teachers to get one per cent raise 18092SS3

Devan C. Tasa Editor The province’s teachers will be receiving a one per cent raise this year after an arbitrator’s ruling produced a two-year contract.

The contract, which covers Sept. 1, 2017 to Aug. 31, 2019, has the teachers receiving no raise for the previous year.

“While the salary package will be disappointing to teachers, it has to be viewed in the context of a persistent government demand for a 3.67 p e r c e n t w a g e ro l l back,” said Patrick Maze, the president of the Saskatchewan

Teachers’ Federation in a media release.

The union said it was happy to see more protections in the contract for “teacher time” – time spent outside of the classroom used for extracurriculars and preparation, that a proposal from the government to cut sick days was rejected, and that its members will be able to grieve their employers on matters related to their working conditions. The arbitrator did reject a proposal from the union about class sizes and composition.

The contract comes a week after Scott Moe,

t h e p ro v i n c e ’ s p re mier, made a commitment to cover the full cost of a new contract with the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation.

“We’re committed to funding the results of that process to ensure that our investment in the classroom for our children is preserved into the future,” Moe said during a media scrum.

G o r d Wy a n t , t h e province’s education minister, said the announcement was aimed at rebuilding a fractious relationship between the teachers’ union and the government.

“This is part of trying to reset our relationship

with the education sector,” he said. “I go out and I talk about our partners in education, talk about the fact that we’re all partners in education and we need to move the agenda forward to make sure that we’re providing the best possible resources in the classroom for our children.”

The full cost of the new contract is unknown at this point.

“This is a commitment that will be incorporated into the budget as we move through this year, but we’ll wait until the arbitration process is over to determine what that is,” Wyant said.

Cropland topsoil moisture is currently rated as 69 per cent adequate, 29 per cent short and two per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 66 per cent adequate, 26 per cent short and eight per cent very short.

Reported yields so far vary greatly across the region, all depending on the amount of moisture received the past few months. Crop damage this past week was mainly due to wind, with some reports frost.

Many fields have uneven growth, making swathing and desiccation timing difficult.

It was, for the most part, a cool and damp week in the region, but there was still significant harvest progress made. Thirty-two per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 16 per cent last week. This is well ahead of the fiveyear (2013-2017) average of 16 per cent for this time of year. Fiftyseven per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut.

The majority of the region saw variable temperatures and minimal moisture.

Stalwart received the most moisture in the region this week (15 mm). The Langenburg area has received the most precipitation (396 mm) in the region since April 1. While the lack of moisture is drying crops down, pastures and hay fields remain in

need of rainfall to help them recover.

Topsoil moisture conditions have worsened since last week. Topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 13 per cent adequate, 49 per cent short and 38 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as eight per cent adequate, 48 percent short and 44 per cent very short.

Crop District 6A is reporting that 53 per cent of the cropland and 63 per cent of the hay land and pasture are very short of topsoil moisture at this time.

Reported yields so far range from below average to above average, all depending on moisture received throughout the growing season. Any crop damage reported this past week was caused by strong winds and lack of moisture.

NORTHEASTERN SASKATCHEWAN The region saw some c o o l e r t e m p e r a t u re s and damp weather this week, causing some minor holdups with harvest operations. Fourteen per cent of the crop is now combined, up from 10 per cent last week and ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average of 10 per cent for this time of year. An additional 51 per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut.

NEWS Farmer talks tile drainage success Jessica R. Durling Reporter Dean Hurd installed a tile drainage system on one of his fields in fall 2014, he covered 40 acres with it.

Hurd gave a lecture on his success at the Melfort Field Day hosted by the Northeast Agriculture Research Foundation on July 18.

Before he installed the drainage he never had enough traction to drive through the field, now he can with ease.

“We were basically g o i n g t h ro u g h c a t tails and water,” Hurd said. “It was going to be grassed unless we tiled.”

By 2015 he could easily drive out there, and the field itself looked

a lot better. By then he could grow different kinds of barley and wheat in the field.

“It was a little rough for the first season, but now it’s smoothing out.”

It didn’t require much preparation for the drainage system, with just needing ground preparation and permits from SaskWater.

“Before we started I thought it was going to be a daunting task, to me it looked difficult.

You got a plow, you could only be off by a quarter inch on a halfmile they told us,” Hurd said. “I was thinking ‘how much time is it going to take to do this’ and in saying that, at the end, if you’re a farmer, don’t go on the backhoe

and think you’re going to do it yourself.”

According to Hurd, if you don’t know what you’re doing and don’t get help, you will only encumber yourself.

“If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re going to add 50, 60 per cent more time to it.”

The idea isn’t to dry the field, but to get the fields to a state of ideal moisture. To explain it to his dad he used a sponge as an example.

“Basically I took a wet sponge, threw it in a bowl of water and said, ‘that’s our field right now,’ Hurd said. “Then I took the wet sponge out of the bowl and threw it on the table let it sit for an hour and let the wa-

ter out and I said, ‘Now you’ve got a nice wet sponge you can use.’”

This being said, it did come with a negative for Dean.

“It does make a mess of the field,” he said after a sigh. “That was the one thing my old man, just threw him off, because you have this huge burn thing sitting there. Basically you can drive over it and flatten it out, we were told just to leave it.”

“You’re probably looking at a five to seven year return as far as tiling,” Hurd said. “If we would have done a bunch of tile in 2007 I think we would have saved a bunch of this land from becoming saline.”

PROTECTION AND RESPONSE

TRAP, NEUTER AND RELEASE

Team still faces criticism one year later

Program to reduce stray cat control costs

Jessica R. Durling Staff An effort to boost response times when it comes to rural crime is making its mark on the region one year later.

The Protection and Response Team was created after a review of rural crime by a government caucus committee on crime reduction following a spike in reports of farmyard crime, as well as reports of farmers arming themselves amid rising tensions.

In East Central Saskatchewan, examples of the team’s work include when a driver was given a 72-hour driving suspension after providing a breathalyzer sample in the “warning” range (0.05 and 0.08 blood alcohol concentration) on July 29. Another example was between April and July, when six drivers were charged for operating an unregistered vehicle, including one driver who had a suspended licence and one with an active warrant.

The team is made up of conservation officers and highway patrol officers who are assigned firearms and trained to respond to emergency calls. It also consists of officers from the RCMP and municipal police services.

If a PRT officer is closer to a 9-1-1 call than an RCMP officer, they may be sent as a first response.

When the team was created, Nicole Sarauer, the NDP’s justice critic, suggested that it was not an effective method of handling rural crime. Instead she suggested that resources should be spent on addressing the roots of crime through education and mental healthcare,

rather than after-the-fact response teams.

A year later, the MLA for Regina Douglas Park maintains that stance.

“There’s a lack of resources for mental health support, for crisis services, at the same time there are RCMP detachments that aren’t fully staffed,” Sarauer said. “The provincial government should be putting their resources and their energy addressing the root causes of the property crime, the higher rates of addictions, the higher rates of people who are presenting issues of mental health, the problems around slowing down economy, the slowing down of opportunities for work instead of what we’re seeing with the PRT.” So far Christine Tell, the policing minister, seems happy with the result.

“Highway patrol officers and conservation officers are providing valuable support to the RCMP and municipal police services,” Tell reported in a media release marking the anniversary. “These partnerships are helping to ensure Saskatchewan communities and families are safe.”

Since the operational launch of the PRT in April, conservation officers and highway patrol officers have responded to more than 400 PRT calls. Their vehicles are equipped with Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs). SGI has funded 136 ALPRs in Saskatchewan, with a total investment of about $3.8 million.

The 2018-19 budget provided $4.9 million from SGI for the Rural Crime Strategy, and $1 million from the Ministry of Justice.

Devan C. Tasa Editor Wadena is hoping a new trap, neuter and release program will keep the stray cat population under control while reducing costs.

Ferne Hebig, the town’s administrator, said Wadena council voted at its Sept. 4 meeting to allow town staff to capture strays, have them spayed or neutered, have their ears notched so that it’s easy to figure out if they’ve had the sterilizing operation, give them a rabies shot, and then release.

To deal with a stray before, the town had to hold them for 48 hours before disposing of it.

Often, disposal meant euthanizing the cat, followed by cremating it.

All that cost between $185 and $205.

With the new program, it will cost between $75 and $95 per stray cat.

Hebig said until recently, there wasn’t a lot of enforcement of the town’s animal control bylaws, meaning the town didn’t incur those costs.

“Now we are enforcing our bylaw, which means we put out traps when people complain about cats,” she said.

“We can’t control which cats are caught in the trap. It looks like nine out of 10 cats are stray cats, not somebody’s pet, and then we’re required to do something with them.”

It was a local veterinarian who suggested the town look into a trap, neuter and release program.

The town administrator said it will be put into effect as soon as local animal control officers and the vet clinic that boards the cats are all on the same page.

The town will try the program for a year and then review it.

PURCHASING POLICY A new purchasing policy will make it easier for organizations under the town’s umbrella to build community projects and for the town’s staff to make small purchases.

Hebig said the town changed its policy, which dated back to 2012, because there were legislative changes to deal with when it come to items like trades, tendering and getting quotes, and there were a few items that didn’t make sense for the town.

One of those items: under the old policy, if an

organization under the town’s umbrella, like the museum, was working on a project and managed to raise the money itself, they’d still have to follow the purchasing rules.

“If somebody was donating a truckload of gravel, under the old purchasing policy, you’d still have to get competitive quotes before you could accept that service, so it didn’t really make a lot of sense,” Hebig said.

Now, as long as the project is funded by donations and grants – and the town isn’t paying anything – they are excepted from the policy.

The old policy also required town staff to get multiple quotes for any purchase more than $100. Hebig said that rule made it hard to do something like, for example, buy a microwave for an event happening in a couple of days.

“To have to sit there and take staff time to price our microwaves from three different places when there’s only one local provider where you could just go there and get it, that kind of thing just doesn’t make logistical sense.”

Now the limit is $2,000 before multiple quotes are required.

OPINIONS QB shuffle dominates NFL off-season It might take a casual fan of the National Football League until US Thanksgiving to get clarity on which quarterbacks went where in the biggest QB shuffl e offseason in recent memory.

Added to the carousel of veteran quarterbacks getting new addresses is a handful of fuzzy-cheeked QBs right out of college who are all projected stars (at least by the teams that chose them in the draft). History tells us, though, that the success rate of college QBs moving into the NFL is not that great.

So let’s forget about the big QB names who stayed put, such as Brady, Rodgers, Ryan, Brees, Wilson, Big Ben, etc., and concentrate on those who moved, and who moved in.

Kirk Cousins was the biggest ‘name’ player to move, signi n g a s a f re e a g e n t with the Minnesota Vikings after five years with Washington. The Cousins signing allowed the Vikings to

Bruce Penton go into 2018 with none of the three QBs they had on their 2017 roster: Case Keenum signed with Denver as a free agent; Sam Bradford was a free-agent signee in Arizona; and Teddy Bridgewater was traded to New York Jets, and later dealt to New Orleans, where he’ll back up Drew Brees.

To fill the Cousins void in Washington, the Redskins acquired longtime Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith. The Chiefs deemed him expendable because they believe Pat Mahomes, a second-year player, is ready for stardom.

Tyrod Taylor, who had moments of glory for Buffalo, is suiting up with the Cleveland

Browns thanks to an off-season trade, and he’ll apparently start ahead of No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield.

Meanwhile, A.J. McCarron, who was acquired by Buffalo from Cincinnati prior to the draft, was shuffled off to Oakland prior to the season. Nathan Peterman will start for Buffalo, and college prospect Josh Allen will back him up. Bills’ fans have their fingers crossed.

All eyes will be on the five college quarterbacks who were the stars of April’s draft.

Mayfield, as mentioned, will be the backup in Cleveland. Sam Darnold, from USC, is the starter for the Jets.

Josh Allen will get a lot of sideline time in Buffalo. Josh Rosen is in Arizona, and will be the backup for Bradford, with Cardinals’ fans hoping the two can replace Carson Palmer, who retired after the 2017 season after 15 years in the league.

And versatile Lamar Jackson was picked by

the Baltimore Ravens, who with Joe Flacco behind centre have no quarterback worries.

Every team with a new quarterback has high hopes as the season begins. History tells us those hopes usually don’t take long to get deflated.

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants says his superstar status makes him feel like a ‘zoo animal.’ Especially the part where the Giants ignore the warnings and feed him $95 million.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “If you watched ‘Hard Knocks’ this summer, you wouldn’t trust t h e B ro w n s s t a ff t o organize a lemonade stand, let along run a professional football organization.”

• AKA Eddie, on Twitter, referring to his hometown’s NFL team: “Here in Cleveland we refer to them as the Bro ns, since there was no W in the 2017 season.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle

has a great suggestion for the name of the Raiders’ stadium in Las Vegas: “Pair-a-Dice Park.”

• Brad Rock of the Deseret News: “LA Gear is trying to block the Chargers from using anything that includes the letters LA in the name. You mean like LAaugh out loud?”

• Comedy writer Brad Dickson of Omaha, on the Nike/ Colin Kaepernick ad campaign: “Well, I’m glad that Nike fi nally found a spokesperson who’s non-polarizing.

Second and third choices were Julian Assange and Kim Jong Un.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Tom Brady says he is looking to play five more years in the NFL. Let’s just hope no one let’s the air out of his dreams.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Ex-CFL great Doug Brown once called the WinnipegSaskatchewan Labour Day game a battle of combines and tractors.

If memory serves, last year the Riders laid

a threshing on the Bombers.” (And this year, too.)

• Jimmy Fallon of NBC’s ‘Tonight Show’: “Fantasy Football began tonight. It’s a fun way for people who are bad at real sports to realize that they’re also bad at imaginary sports.”

• James Corden of CBS’s Late Late Show, on protests against the Kaepernick Nike ad campaign: “Burning your sneakers does seem like a solid way to get out of going to the gym.”

• Headline at TheOnion.com: “Shohei Ohtani regrets not researching which teams were good before signing with Angels.”

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe. com, on Packers QB Aaron Rodgers’ $134 million contract extension: “In related news expect Green Bay to announce beer and brats can now be paid for with an interest-free loan.”

Farmers have generally tended to be responsible in terms of caring for the land they farm.

Certainly, there are examples to the opposite, examples of farm run-offs causing issues, and land being less farmed, and more mined, but those approaches are more a thing of the past, at least among informed modern farmers.

The sector as a whole has come to understand land is a resource, which must be managed in a way which ensures its viability over the long term.

Tightly connected to those efforts, at least in my mind, is a need to be

“In 2005, the United Nations launched the Water for Life Decade to help create a greater awareness of the need to better care for our water resources,” details the website. “Following this, the establishment of World Rivers Day was in response to a proposal initiated by in-

ternationally renowned river advocate, Mark Angelo.

“The proposal for a global event to celebrate rivers was based on the success of BC Rivers Day, which Mark Angelo had founded and led in western Canada since 1980. A World Rivers Day event was seen by agencies of the UN as a good fit for the aims of the Water for Life Decade and the proposal was approved.

River enthusiasts from around the world came together to organize the inaugural WRD event.

That first event in 2005 was a great success and Rivers Day was celebrated across dozens of countries. Since then,

Do not forget your love of the Broncos

By Christopher Lee Reporter As I sit here to write this editorial I do so knowing it will be one of the final pieces I write for the Humboldt Journal before my last day on Sept. 11.

When I came to Humboldt I did so as a fresh faced 24-year-old kid, who knew very little about the community except for the Broncos.

Now, almost three years later I know a lot more about the city, but also about the beloved hockey team.

When I moved here I was handed the reigns to the Broncos and was encouraged to run with it.

I consider myself lucky to be given that opportunity. Not many young reporters are given the reigns to a junior hockey franchise right

away.

I was and I will be forever grateful.

As I leave this job, and ultimately this city I do so knowing that no matter where I go I will always have a place in my heart for the green and gold.

Like I said, when I moved here the Broncos were one of the few things I actually knew about this city.

That was of course, because growing up I watched almost nothing but TSN and in May, it seemed like each year, I would see the Broncos at the Royal Bank Cup taking on Camrose, or Vernon, or some other junior A franchise.

This team was important to this community then and it still is now.

I come from a small

Number 54 In my time in the newspaper business, I’ve been to many communities. Each time, my arrival has been rather public, considering that it’s mentioned in the local paper.

This is the first time I’ve ever had the Welcome Wagon come to my office with a basket full of gifts.

It looks like the We l c o m e Wa g o n i s s t ro n g i n t h i s c o m munity too, with widespread support from local businesses.

Christopher tells me that the baskets have bulked up since he arrived here almost three years ago.

I was told that I was the 54th person to

Devan C. Tasa get a basket from the Welcome Wagon this year.

It’s not just the Welcome Wagon. The community at large has been quite welcoming as I get used to life in Humboldt.

Thank you for the welcome so far.

Fatal fire in Raymore A house fire in Raymore has claimed a life.

Eva Dodd, 74, was transported by Touchwood Ambulance and Stars to the Regina General hospital, where she later died of her injuries.

The Raymore Fire Department, Punnichy RCMP and the

Touchwood Ambulance attended the scene.

The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen or living room.

Preliminary examination leads the examiners to believe the fire is not suspicious, but the fire scene is still under investigation with assistance from the provincial fire scene examiner.

JAMES SCHINKEL, BSA

For a provincial government that’s so focused on telling us that a carbon tax or similar type of system that puts a price on carbon dioxide emissions, this next phase of its climate action plan certainly looks like it’s pretty close to doing just that.

The province is imposing performance standards on seven sets of industries, one of which includes potash mining. Those industries will be expected to reduce their carbon f o o t p r i n t m o re a n d more each year.

Yet one of the items these industries can take advantage of is buying carbon offsets basically buying credit for somebody else’s effort to reduce carbon emissions.

I f t h e p ro v i n c e i s doing that, then how much of an extra step

is it really to have a cap-and-trade system that has that price on carbon that the federal government wants to see?

Of course, if they’d do that, they’d lose a winning issue when they’re out campaigning.

GOODBYE Last of all, I’d like to wish outgoing reporter Christopher Lee lots of luck in the future.

While I haven’t worked with him too often face-to-face, he’s been doing a lot of the sports coverage for The Recorder, especially when it came to the two SJHL teams, the Melfort Mustangs and the Nipawin Hawks.

I know it must have gotten busy for him, especially when it came to playoff times, but he reliably delivered the goods each week.

I’m sure he’ll go far.

Ontario town and home to their own junior A franchise, the Smiths Falls Bears.

I have seen first-hand how important a community is to a team and how important a team is to a community.

The Broncos and the City of Humboldt have something special.

Don’t forget that.

As I get set to depart I do so knowing the Broncos are in good hands, both on the ice and in the board room.

They are also in good hands in the stands.

For the first time since I moved here, the Broncos have sold out a hockey game.

Obviously April 6 has played a role in that, but it doesn’t matter.

Having covered and/or attended every Broncos home game since Nov. 27, 2015 I can tell you the fans have not always flocked to the games in large numbers.

But now, since April 6 everyone’s love has been re-energized.

It is a shame that it took something so catastrophic to re-energize the fan base, but it did.

And now, I leave you with one request.

That love you feel, that re-energized love you feel for the green and gold?

Bottle it.

And every day take a shot of love from that bottle.

Cherish this team today, tomorrow, next week, next year and next decade.

This team needs the fans, and whether you realize it or not, the fans need the team.

When I moved to Humboldt I did so knowing about the Humboldt Broncos, and now as I leave I do so loving the team like everyone else in this community.

Never forget that love.

Proud to serve Saskatchewan farm familiess for 15 years!

Untraditional crops coming to Saskatchewan Jessica R. Durling Reporter According to Joel Peru, Irrigation Agrologist with the Research & Demonstration for the Ministry of Agriculture, there are some new crops coming to popularity in Saskatchewan, and some farmers want in on it.

“There are a couple reasons why you want to do that,” Peru said to farmers during the annual field day at the Melfort Research Farm on July 18. “First off it helps diversify, it’s going to help your disease and pest rotations, there’s a niche market for some of these crops that have potential value if you hit the market at the right time.”

caused it to resurface into more farmers fields.

Marketing can be an issue with this crop, but it can be grown up to 100 bushels an acre.

“I’ve seen some people who are successful, and some guys who have trouble getting it out of their bin.”

“They’re a moisture loving crop; they do really well in rainy conditions,” Peru said.

A r ro g a t i o n C ro p s Diversification C o o p e r a t i o n g ro w s them under arrogation. Producers in the Outlook area also do it this way.

“This year you can really see how apparent it is they like moisture.”

They’re more tolerant to aphanomyces, a root rot which is in every part of the province.

“It has picked up popularity since it [aphanomyces] has come and wiped out all of those crops in the last couple of years.”

While it has been around in the province for some time, the threat of aphanomyces has

While they are easily marketable, they are also susceptible to aphanomyces and other root rots.

“The green variety has a little more market premier over the yellow variety.”

Joel Peru

SOYBEANS Last year Stats Canada found that there were 800,000 acres of soybeans in the province. That is a lot. This year they went down to 400,000.

It is a high input crop, meaning a lot of money must be put into the seeds.

“It’s recommended you double inoculate them for the first five to eight years.”

If you don’t make at least 30 bushels an

acre you’re not going to make much profit.

“The interest in soybeans now is there are a lot of new varieties coming out this year, yield and the growing conditions here in Canada,” Peru said.

“There’s more yields coming out every year that are showing more promising results.”

“The ministry’s pouring a lot of money into development of this crop in the province.”

FORAGE AND GRAIN CORN You can get six tons an acre from forage corn easily, as well as being a good alternative to “feed barley” for livestock.

“Both grain and forage, there are better varieties coming out that require less corn heat units to develop and it’s attracting a lot more people, and the industry is putting a lot of money into these crops as well.”

For both grain and forage corn you need special equipment such as a planter. Having an even planting space is important for these crops. If you wanted to harvest it for grain you would need a corn header, as well as having to dry it.

“You’re probably going to have a moisture level of over 20 per cent and that’s just way too high to work,” Peru said, referencing grain corn.

“I worked with a producer in the Melfort area who actually sells

it directly to a feed barn, so that way you can sell it at 20 per cent moisture no problem.

So if you could find a marking opportunity like that it could be a fit, but other than that the drying cost really brings down the economics and going for it is not cheap. High inputs, high fertility, seed costs are very high.”

To make it worth your money, you would need about 130 bushels per acre.

“Varieties are getting better though, and once it gets closer to the way it is in the States, it could be a crop that takes off.”

CAMELINA Camelina has been growing for a while in the province.

It serves as a health benefit with its seed oil containing omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids. It also has bio-diesel uses. “ I t ’ s a c ro p t h a t grows in Saskatchewan, all the acres are contracted out,” Peru said.

“There’s a seed company called ‘Smart Earth’ and if you want to grow Camelina you probably go and talk to those guys.”

It grows similar to canola.

BROWN MUSTARD It’s a crop similar to yellow mustard, but one with disadvantages.

“The disadvantage for this crop is it has about a ten more day requirement to mature than standard yellow

mustard,” Peru said. “So you’re looking at that instead of 85 to 95 days, you’re looking at 95 to 105 days. It’s a specially marketed crop, so it’s marked to Dijon mustards and stuff like that, so there is a premium involved with that as well.”

BORAGE Borage is a crop that does need pollinators.

“Borage is another oil seed crop that has small acres in the province.

There are two companies that deal with here and contract it out.”

These companies are Biooriginal in Saskatoon and Nothern Nutraceuticals.

“The only problem with borage is it’s another nutraceutical crop to make supplements like omega fatty acids so it’s pretty easy to flood the market on that one,” Peru said. “Before you grow it make sure there’s room to sell your crop.”

QUINOA Quinoa is a growing health food.

“Quinoa is a crop that originated in South America and a company called Northern Quinoa, based out of Saskatoon developed a variety here called ‘Golden’ that does pretty well,” Peru said.

It’s a high risk crop but with high rewards, and grows similar to lambs quarter.

“Yields can range from 300 to 2,000 pounds an acre. Seeds sell, but you have to sell to Northern Quinoa. I think it’s the only company that buys it at the moment.”

Seeds can sell for about 60 cents a pound.

There’s currently no registered herbicide for quinoa.

HEMP “Hemp is a crop that has been around for a while too, but has taken off recently,” Peru said.

“People right now in Saskatchewan are growing it for seed.”

The main issue with hemp is marketing it.

“There have been years where it can go really fast, and then I’ve heard producers complain that in can sit in the bin for like a year or two before a company said they needed it.”

Recently the price d ro p p e d f o r h e m p , making it worth about 55 cents a pound, but if it can be grown organically it’s roughly triple that amount at 130 cents a pound.

“You need to fill out an application through Health Canada, get approved, take a criminal record check, all that stuff before you can grow it,” Peru said.

“You got to make sure you grow the required varieties or you have to send it in for THC testing and all sorts of other stuff.”

Viscount News Sandra Reid Contributor We were out touring in east Saskatchewan and someone had mentioned if we were ever out that way to check out a restaurant in Stenen, not far from Crystal Lake. So we did.

The restaurant is actually an old elementary school that has been closed for years, it now hosts the restaurant called “Rawhides”.

We were seated in the old library, there was a collection of old books and a fireplace.

Patio doors that led out to a patio area with fire pits and tons of seating area. There is also a campground outside.

When we arrived we were asked if we had a reservation, which we didn’t. But we were seated anyway. By the time we were ready to leave it was getting real busy. We were amazed by the way the school was converted into the restaurant. It is amazing!

September is here and everything is starting up. It should be a busy fall. Thanksgiving is so early this year, in October. Then there’s garage sales and a few weeks later there’s Halloween.

Then trade shows, hockey games, dance practice and so on.

Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather. Hope you feel better soon.

Have a great week. Please let me know if you have any news you’d like to share.

Reflecting on 100 years of Royals baseball

By Christopher Lee Reporter One hundred years is a long time for anything.

And it’s especially long for a small town senior baseball club.

For the Marysburg Royals that long time is nothing more than reality as the club celebrated their 100th successive season in 2018.

While there is evidence of baseball in Marysburg dating back to 1906, the club uses 1918, the year Father Casimir started the current iteration of the club, as their official inception year.

“One Hundred years is a long time and something we’re all pretty proud of,” said current Royal Curtis Strueby.

“There’s a lot to organizing and running a team and I think we’re lucky to have had those people willing to do that.”

The people and families of Marysburg have not only kept the team afloat off the field, but on it as well, with ten members of the club following in the footsteps of their fathers who played before them, including eight who are fourth generation.

“It just becomes part of who you are. As a kid that’s what I remember; running around the ball parks all over the area and spending time with the kids of the other dads on the team. You’re starting to see that with our kids now too and it just becomes engrained in you,” said Strueby, a fourth generation member in his own right.

It also makes it real easy to come to the park, says Strueby, who notes he knows what to expect when he gets to the park, and said some of the players are some of his best friends.

Strueby also credited the younger, new players of adding to the strong atmosphere in the club house.

The Royals began play at their original diamond, located southeast of the current field, and according to the Royals website, would go to Dead Moose Lake where they would throw rocks, with the furthest throw determining who would pitch.

A c c o rd i n g t o t h e Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame, the Royals quickly became one of the most successful teams in the province by the 1920’s.

The 1930’s were not so kind to the Royals, but by the 1940’s the club began to flourish.

Finally, by the late 1940’s, Herb Bauml gave the Royals their famous nickname.

The Royals continued their strong tradition in the 1950’s and were considered “the strongest team in the province,” according to the hall of fame.

Those teams included many families still on the team today including the Strueby’s, Puetz’s, and Bauml’s, and many other local legends including the Stroeder brothers, George Parker, Louis Wolsfield, the Panagapko brothers, the Britz’s, the Wurtz’s, and NHL Hall of Famer Glenn Hall, among others.

The Royals’ teams of the 1950’s were so dominant they were inducted into the Humboldt and District Sports Hall of Fame.

The club also captured approximately $10,000 in prize money over a two year period, nearly $100,000 today, according to the Bank of Canada’s inflation calculator.

By the 1960’s baseball

in the area was really picking up, and in 1962 the North Central Baseball League was formed.

The Royals joined the league in 1964, and quickly made their presence felt winning league titles in 1966 and 1968.

After some lean years in the 1970’s, the Royals were again difficult to beat in the ‘80s winning league titles in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, and 1989, and regular season pennants in 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988,and 1989.

The 1988 Royals squad was particularly impressive as they wrapped up their season with a total record of 49-1.

After the highly successful 1980’s, the Royals took over the league in the ‘90s winning league titles from 1991-1994, and from 1996-1999, as well as regular season pennants from 1990-1994, and 1997-1999.

The 1995 season, while not the Royals’ best, featured a neat moment, as Curtis Strueby suited up with his father Wayne and uncle Dave, while Curtis’ grandfather, and Wayne and Dave’s father Isidore coached, leaving three generations of Strueby’s on the Royals at the same time.

The Royals also enjoyed a banner year in 1998, as the club won both the regular season, and playoff titles, and captured the provincial “C” title, the first in team history.

The early 2000’s was more of the same for the Royals, who won both the league title and regular season pennant in every year between 2000 and 2003.

The Royals also collected a Senior “A” championship in 2003 and collected Senior “AA” provincial silver medals

in 2000 and 2001.

In 2004, the NCBL disbanded due to a shortage of teams, putting an end to the Royals’ 40 year run with the league.

Over that time the Royals captured 19 league titles, and 17 regular season pennants.

With the NCBL disbanding, the Royals were forced to find another league to call home and quickly latched on with the Saskatoon Senior Baseball League, where they have remained since 2004.

After a relatively slow start to their time in the league, the Royals eventually took over winning regular season pennants in 2009, and from 20112016. The Royals also collected a league title in 2010, and have been league finalists in 2005, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2016.

Since joining the league in 2004, the Royals have failed to finish worse than third in regular season standings, winning the pennant six times, finishing second five times, and third once.

The Royals also collected a Senior “AA” Provincial title in 2011, where they outscored the opposition 41-13, and represented Saskatchewan at the Western Canadian Championships, where they finished third. The strong year resulted in the Royals winning Saskatchewan Baseball’s Senior Team of the Year.

The Royals also added five provincial silver medals to their tally in the last number of years, finishing second in 2004, 2005, 2009, 2012, and 2014.

Success has seemingly followed the Royals wherever they have gone, and that success has not gone unnoticed as the club currently sees either their teams, players, or families inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame eight times.

Ron Bauml leads the

way with three inductions, as he was inducted as a player in 2016, and as a member of the National championship winning Weyburn Beavers, and the Western Canadian Championship winning North Battleford Junior Beavers.

Ron was joined by Murray Bauml, and Jamie Haeusler, who were also on the National Championship winning Beavers squad.

The Strueby’s also featured a significant amount in the hall with Sylvester Strueby inducted in 1991, Isidore Strueby in 2005, Lorne Strueby in 2013 and the Strueby family, the first family in Saskatchewan to be inducted into the family category in 2000.

The Royals themselves were also inducted into the hall along with Ron Bauml in 2016.

While the Royals have remained successful for a large portion of their 100 year history, the club has had to adapt in recent seasons, and while the Royals are proud to call Marysburg home, Strueby says it has had to take on more of a regional feel.

Strueby notes the key to the success is having a core group of Marysburg players, while adding in members from other communities.

“There’s four guys on this team that I’ve been teammates with for over 15 years and then two or three others I’ve been teammates with for 12,13 years so we have that core group,” he said.

“Now we’ve got guys from Muenster, and Humboldt, and Drake and a couple of the kids from Lake Lenore… to keep things alive in rural Saskatchewan, you have to do that… we’re very aware of that in Marysburg and we’re very appreciative of the fact that these guys want to do that in Marysburg

and want to continue to play ball.”

Looking back over the last number of years, Strueby has been around the Royals for more than 30 years, and says he has a number of memories.

“The definite highlight was winning the senior AA provincials in 2011.

We’ve been so close so often.”

Strueby added that the homecoming game in 2000, where the Royals won the league title over Muenster at home in front of 500-600 fans was another highlight, as was playing in the old NCBL. “Looking back you realize how special that was to have a lot of teams in small towns in the area.”

While the wins were great, Strueby says the biggest highlight over the last 30 plus years is just being with the other players at the diamond.

“It’s just a lot of fun, I don’t really know how else to explain it… It’s just so much fun.”

Of course with the Royals celebrating 100 years, the club must look ahead to the future, and with many younger players coming into the squad in recent seasons, Strueby says the future looks bright in Marysburg.

“I can’t say enough about the kids who have come in over the course of the last few years…

A number of them have played midget ball in Humboldt and Muenster and you can just tell that they were coached well and they respect the game and are great teammates,” he said.

“Our area’s got a pretty special thing going here and it takes a lot of people to do a lot of good things and I think our area has that… we just have a good young talented group of players right now and it’s just a lot of fun going to the park. They bring a lot of energy so it keeps us old guys on our toes.”

RENNEBERG: Corey Owen Mar. 22, 1987 - Aug. 23, 2018 It is with great sadness that the family of Corey Renneberg announce his passing on Thursday, August 23, 2018. He was 31 years of age. Corey Owen Renneberg was born on March 22, 1987 at Humboldt, SK to Anita and Richard Renneberg of St. Benedict, a baby brother for Daryl. His early childhood years were spent in his treehouse in St. Benedict with the “Ratpack� - Daryl and 7 of the neighborhood kids. He started school in St. Benedict taking K2. Then in 1996, after the school closure, his family moved to Muenster where he completed grades 3 to 12. Many hours were spent on the go-cart, dumb and dumber bike, or on snowmobiles. He was very athletic but running seemed to be his thing.

At age 16, Corey started working after school and weekends, at the C-store in Humboldt. After graduating, he decided to work before going back to school for Engineering, so he started welding at Doepkers. When Anita started her business, Basement Systems Saskatchewan, in 2006; Corey was the foundation rock. He did all the installing, jackhammering and heavy labour resulting in a Better Business Bureau award. Corey moved to Saskatoon, working at Rona and UPS; then to Montreal on a Rona Immersion Exchange, and back to Saskatoon where he worked at Extreme Mining. In November, he moved to Kelowna BC to take a construction job. Corey WAS extreme fitness - biking, running, kayaking, scuba diving, camping, fishing, snowboarding and a permanent gym rat. He was physically fit in the extreme. Corey was a very kindhearted person and would give you help in any way he could, going out of his way to help. At age 23, Corey began to struggle with mental health issues and began that roller coaster of being so good for weeks only to crash, unable to cope. This started financial problems as he was unable to work through the bad times. His many attempts at getting help in an insufficient healthcare system lasted only temporarily. He tried extreme fitness, drugs and alcohol which only served the purpose temporarily; and led to being more and more dependent to cope. Corey is now at peace, flying free. One of the many inspirational notes lying on his table said, “Keep on rocking in the free world.� Corey will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Richard and Anita (nee Leuschen) Renneberg of Muenster, SK; brother Daryl R. Renneberg (Rosa) of Calgary, AB; grandmother Mathilda Renneberg of Middle Lake, SK; maternal aunts and uncles, Joann (Frank) Roettger, Dave (Elaine Palchinski) Leuschen, Ruth White, Les (Cheryl) Leuschen, Julie Leuschen, Perry (Janine) Leuschen, Norma (Frazer) Edmunds, Jeff (Sandi Urban) Leuschen, Gord (Anita) Leuschen; paternal aunts and uncles, Jerome Renneberg, Leroy (Bev) Renneberg, Cheryl (Lyle) Lepsenyi, Yvonne (Kelly) Rustad, Marvin (Maureen) Renneberg; and numerous cousins. Corey was predeceased by his grandparents Martin and Loretta Leuschen, and Henry Renneberg; uncles Adrian Leuschen, Joe Leuschen; aunts, Linda Leuschen, Lucille Renneberg, Donna Leuschen and Liz Leuschen. A Funeral Mass was offered at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Muenster, SK on Monday, September 3, 2018 at 2:00 p.m., celebrated by Fr. Paul Paproski, OSB. Others taking part were: Tyler Renneberg, crossbearer; Marvin Renneberg and Gord Leuschen, scripture readers; Lyle Lepsenyi, intentions; Nicole Elkington and Laura White-Vanin, giftbearers; Mary Hofmann, eucharistic minister; Christy Waldner, pianist; Teresa Wassermann, guitarist; Sheryl Korte, organist; St. Peter’s Parish Choir, music ministry; Daryl, Anita and Richard Renneberg, urnbearers.

Matechuk “getting stronger every day”

“

Layne Matechuk

“

Christopher Lee Reporter Layne Matechuk, a member of the 2017-18 Humboldt Broncos, remains in hospital as he recovers from injuries suffered in the April 6 collision, but he is improving his family says.

Matechuk was transferred to City Hospital earlier this summer, and remains there where he continues to recover from injuries sustained to his brain and the right side of his body.

“His main obstacle is his brain injury. Layne is getting stronger every day but is struggling getting his speech back.

Layne is also working on getting full mobility with his right side, leg is pretty good but right hand has tremors and does not have full use yet.”

Matechuk’s family also said Layne is not yet fully aware of everything that happened during the accident, but is getting closer to being able to deal with it.

“The family would like to thank the medical staff, first responders, and Stars Air Crew who all played a pivotal role in helping everyone through this difficult time, as well as all those sending prayers and best wishes.”

His main obstacle is his brain injury. Layne is getting stronger every day but is struggling getting his speech back.
