Classroom from yesterdayIt was a fl ashback to a couple of generations ago one day last week when Tannis Negrave, a member of the Power House Museum board, conducted a shortclass in the Kamsack museum’s schoolhouse exhibit. In their desks were Victoria School Grade 3 students who had been visited the museum

It was a near capacity audience that filled Westminster Memorial United Church on June 14 to hear the Kamsack Community Choir’s spring concert entitled Colour My World.

All of the songs have a colour in their names or their lyr-

ics or are related to one or more colours in some way, saidScott Sears, the emcee. “This time of year our world is fullof colour. And if it decides to rain again one of these dayswe might even see a rainbow.”

Property owners in the RM of Cote are paying nearly half a mill more in taxes this year than they paid in 2014.

Council approved a budget during its meeting of May 8 which called for a tax rate of 13 mills. Last year the RM coun-cil levied a tax rate of 12.525 mills.

This increase will generate about $28,000, said Sherry Guenther, administrator.

Taxation will bring in about $720,000 of the total revenue of $1,038,250, Guenther said. The provincial unconditional rev-enue sharing grant is $197,770 which is about the same as was received last year, and the organized hamlet grant is $5,787.

Other sources of income include various fees and charges, she said. Council has budgeted $32,000 through gas tax fund-ing and has applied again for the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities Beaver Control Program in which $5,500 has been allocated to the RM.

Another application has been submitted for the channel clearing program through the Water Security Program, she said. In 2014, the RM received $8,500.

The Saskatchewan Lotteries grant is expected to be $4,500 and council expects funding from the Provincial Disaster As-

Cote RM property taxes increase nearly a half millsistance Program (PDAP) but it is unknown what amount might be received.

During the year council plans to spend $1,030,280, she said.Among expenses are: the fi re agreement with the Town of

Kamsack, $21,000; policing fees, $23,000; Parkland Library levy, $6,700; general government expenditures, $170,000; transportation, $660,000; Parkland Regional Waste Manage-ment Association, $29,000; recreation and culture, $4,000 and Eaglestone Lodge contribution, $5,000.

Council plans no major capital expenditures during 2015 but is looking at the possibility of repairing or replacing the wooden bridge south of Kamsack on the old highway.

Also during the May 8 meeting, council decided that effec-tive April 15, the minimum charge for grader work would be $25.

Council agreed to apply for the Beaver Control Program and decided to provide a compensation of $30 per adult beaver killed to individuals who are authorized by the council.

Council accepted bids from: Greg Philipchuk for Blk/Par A Plan 101658562 Ext. 12; from Carl Vanin for 21-30-31-1 LSD Ext 45, and from Joe Laderoute for Lot 19 Blk1/Par 1 Plan

101671635 Ext 6.It was agreed to reimburse Runnydale Farms $70 for fuel

costs.Council was told that the municipality received a grant of

$4,500 from Saskatchewan Lotteries for the 2016-17 grantyear.

Members of the fam-ily of a surveyor in whose n a m e a l a k e a t D u c k Mountain Provincial Park was named picked their way through the bush to visit that lake.

On June 1, four grand-children of the late Fred Lamb went to see Lamb Lake, which is a body of water about 1.45 kilome-tres long located northeast of Madge Lake’s Ministik Beach on the Saskatch-ewan side of the park.

It was a great adven-ture, prompted primarily by a visit to Canada by Ric (Frederick) Lamb, a grandchild of Fred Lamb, from his home in Austra-lia, said Kathy Inglis of Sylvan Lake Alta., who is also a grandchild of Fred Lamb.

Fred Lamb was born on the family farm in Brant Township in Ontario on December 11, 1887, said David Lamb of Arizona, a great-grandson of Fred Lamb.

“ I n 1 8 9 9 , F r e d b e -gan to attend Walkerton High School, graduating in1903,” David said. “He next went to study at the University of Toronto. In 1909, he graduated with a bachelor of applied sci-ence degree in civil engi-neering.

“Almost as soon as he graduated, Fred left On-tario for Canada’s west. By 1910, he had made his permanent home in Saska-toon where he worked as a surveyor. He obtained his commission as a Domin-ion land surveyor in 1912 and Saskatchewan Land Surveyor in 1913.

“From 1913 to 1924, Fred worked for the Sas-katchewan department of highways as a district sur-veyor. From 1924 until 1935, Fred worked in pri-vate practice in Saskatoon. Due to the Great Depres-sion, he returned to the de-partment of highways. In 1938, Fred transferred to the Natural Resources De-partment and assisted on

Surveyor’s grandchildren visit Duck Mountain lake named after him

Four grandchildren of the late Fred Lamb, a surveyor who helped define Saskatchewan’s boundaries, were at Duck Mountain Provincial Park on June 1 in order to see Lamb Lake, the body of water named for their grandfather. From left, they were: Ric Lamb of Australia, Kathy (Lamb) Inglis of Sylvan Lake, Alta. and Garry Lamb and Lorraine (Lamb) Templeton, both of Calgary.

the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary survey.

“In 1941 he surveyed the northern part of the Saskatchewan-Manito-ba boundary. In 1945 he transferred to the Surveys Branch, Saskatchewan department of highways and transportation and re-mained there until his re-tirement in 1953.

“Fred was given per-manent recognition in the naming of Lamb Lake in

Duck Mountain Provincial Park, near the Saskatche-wan-Manitoba border,” his great-grandson said.

“Fred’s cousin, Gar-rett Lamb, was born on a neighbouring family farm on August 10, 1886. After graduating from Walker-ton High School, Garrett became a surveyor’s assis-tant in Canada’s west. In fact, as early as 1904, he had helped to survey the area around the lake that

would later be named for his cousin Fred Lamb.

“And like his cousin Fred, Garrett would study at the University of To-ronto, graduating with a Bachelor of Applied Sci-ence in Civil Engineering in 1915.”

One of Fred’s sons , a grandson and a great-grandson continued the family tradition of taking engineering as their pro-fessional careers, he said.

LOOKING BACK...

A Decade Ago

THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2015PAGE 4 KAMSACK TIMES

Murray Mandryk is a politicalcolumnist with the Leader-Post

Regardless of your political persuasion, by now you have to agree with Saskatchewan Party Premier Brad Wall about one thing – it’s time to abolish the Senate.

Of course, this is hardly some far out sentiment any more – the kind confi ned to the CCF/NDP or intellectual left who have always greatly resented an Upper House of appointed Lords overseeing the will of the commoners.

In fact, it was always easy for the sanctimonious left to make such grandiose gestures because there was never any realistic possibility (at least until recently) that there would ever be a chance of a federal NDP government exercising patronage.

So as long as the Senate was acting in a benign way by not doing its job of overturning or even properly scru-tinizing the laws of the elected politicians, its useless nature was ignored by the public.

Also, given the secrecy that members of the old boys’ and old girls’ club subscribed to when it came to their own expenses and perks, there was little reason to even think about the Senate.

But then along came Stephen Harper who moved from appointing old party warhorses to TV media personalities like Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy willing to exchange their previous good names and reputations for a role of partisan fundraiser with the ability to attract big crowds.

And then along came more efficient, effective and open audits that revealed not only the alleged abuses of Duffy, Wallin and Patrick Brazeau but also the misspend-ing of dozens upon dozens of other senators.

However, what’s now in play goes beyond the alleged

Senate must go

abuses of spending being played out both in the courts and court of public opinion. We now must ask the question that the NDP have been asking for years and that Wall is asking right now: “What purpose does the Senate serve?”

It can not overturn the will of the elected. That was demonstrated 25 years ago when the then-Liberal -domi-nated Senate tried to block former prime minister Brian Mulroney’s goods and services tax.

And how did Saskatchewan benefi t from this event?Well, we got the appointments of GST Senators Eric

Berntson (convicted for frauds perpetrated against Sas-katchewan taxpayers for his days in the Grant Devine government) and David Tkachuk (a one-time Devine principal secretary who has done little on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan other than collect his pay cheque).

But it really doesn’t matter whether these Senators are old Progressive Conservatives or Liberals (who have been equally nefarious and useless) or true non-partisans.

The truth of the matter is that for whatever good these

appointees do in their “role” of scrutinizing law, we coulddo much better in a much cheaper way by appointing ju-dicial or citizen experts to oversee the supposed tyranny of the House of Commons majority for specifi c laws.

This brings us to the questions of who wants the Sen-ate and why.

Well, there are a few commentators who still seem to be defending the validity of the Senate. But it’s hard not to be a little suspicious that their motives might havesomething to do with following the Duffy and Wallin path.

The “taskless thanks” of the Senate will remain a prizeto such political types.

And there are the well-meaning political science intel-lectuals who whole-heartedly believe we need that upperhouse safeguard.

But even if so, we surely need to get rid of what wenow have.

Why not then have a proportional representation upperhouse whose make-up would be based on appointmentsfrom every party based on the results of popular votefrom the last election?

What better watchdog/safeguard could there be? Well, none.

But that’s something the politicians who run forspecifi c seats will never allow because it cuts into theirpower.

So we seem to be only left with Wall’s alternative. Before we can even think of getting something better,

this Senate needs to go.

Town council signed a memorandum of understanding with SaskWater, which was seen as a step towards having the provincial body take over the community’s water sup-ply system. “I don’t think we can afford to do the job on our own,” Mayor Bert Pollon said. If council did not go with SaskWater the community would have had to borrow about $3 million to complete the job, estimated at $5.4 million.

*****Optimistic that something might develop regarding ski hill

insurance rates, members of the Duck Mountain Regional Park Authority agreed to hold several cabarets during the summer so that they could be in a position to re-open the hill during the winter.

Letters to the EditorTHURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2015 PAGE 5KAMSACK TIMES

For some undefi ned reason of late I have been think-ing about my grandfather and what his take on a modern farm would be.

That thinking came into focus more sharply when a friend of mine, Harold Petkau, posted a few photographs of what is left of his family’s old farmyard, a collection of grey and dilapidated buildings.

The house was small, yet no doubt raised a family far larger than the norm today.

The barn was tiny, but would have likely kept the fam-ily in pork and beef, and milk, the cream going to market in cans to generate some cash fl ow on the farm.

While that might not have been exactly the situation on the Petkau farm, it would have been close, because that was typical of any Prairie farm in the era that the building in the pictures would have been built.

It was the farm of my grandfather as well, a small-scale and increasingly looking smaller when compared to today’s operations. They incorporated a mixed farm ap-proach, where there was a bit of everything – milk cows, chickens, a few pigs, and all fed from a small land base.

In my grandfather’s case he retired to town having never farmed more than 480 acres, less when you took out the yard site, and a couple of river runs.

That small farm raised a family though, and kept “three squares” on the table, with healthier fare than the processed food we often turn to these days.

Today’s farming practices would be the subject of science fi ction in Grandpa’s day

And in terms of time that was not so long ago. I’m only 55, feeling 75 some days, and thinking I’m

still 35 on others. I can just remember our last milk cows, but watched neighbours hand milking and selling cream until I was into my teens.

I collected eggs and helped butcher our own chickens in the fall.

I hauled potatoes and carrots and turnips by the bag full from the garden to the cellar in the fall.

The aroma of homemade jams and pickles remain sharp memories.

These are the things of my grandfather’s era, fading away in my lifetime.

If my grandfather was alive he would have little refer-ence for the huge tracked tractors used on many farms today. If memory serves, the last tractor he likely oper-ated was a 930 Case.

The 930 came out new in 1969, selling for $6,700 US,and had a drawbar horsepower of 70.

For a quick comparison, the Case IH Steiger 435QT Quadtrac (tracked) came to the market in 2008, with a2010 price of $336,979 US according to http://www.trac-tordata.com. The engine produces 435 hp.

Grandfather’s last seeder was a 12-foot press drill.You would put a lot of miles on a vehicle looking for afarm using a press drill today.

Instead, today farmers are using massive zero till unitswhich would be completely unknown to my grandfather.

And, I can only imagine the look of disbelief at seeinga modern high clearance sprayer.

I wonder if he could even fathom the concepts ofGMO crops or GPS technology. It would be a strangethought for him that grain had to be hauled past a dozensmall towns to even fi nd a rail line or elevator.

And not having to rise every morning on most farms today to collect eggs, milk a cow, or feed a few pigswould undoubtedly make him shake his head at thethought of why people would rather buy their food thanraise it.

It would be like walking into a sci-fi version of farm-ing for my grandfather, and all in a matter of 30 to 40years – which leads me to the next question. Will I recog-nize a farm in another four decades as having anything in common with what I know today?

When it comes to accidents, it’s com-mon to think, oh, it will never happen to us. That is what we thought until our six-year-old son, Roan, a mem-ber of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, lost his leg in a lawn mower accident.

A few years ago, Roan was riding on

a lawn mower with an adult when he fell off and severed his left leg at the knee. As he was airlifted by helicopter to the hospital, we wondered if we were going to see him again.

With lawn cutting season here, we want to help spread Roan’s message across the country that kids should nev-

er be around a lawn mower. It doesn’t matter how good you are with machin-ery, it just takes a moment for a life-changing accident to happen.

Today, Roan is an active and ener-getic child thanks to help from The War Amps with fi nancial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and

peer support. We just hope that his storywill prevent even one child from beinginjured.

Don’t let it happen to you!

All things considered... The games we playedBy Gail Krawetz of Invermay

Last Sunday my hus-band and I attended an af-ternoon graveside service at the cemetery where my maternal grandparents are buried. On the way home we detoured to visit my grandparents’ homestead where I had spent many a Sunday afternoon as a child.

The old farmyard and the empty farmhouse trig-gered a host of memories. As I recalled the various antics that my brother, my cousins and I were in-volved in, I couldn’t help but smile. My grandparents did not have any toys for us to play with, but what their little mixed farm did have was all kinds of interest-

ing places and items just waiting to be discovered and utilized. This made the farmyard way more excit-ing than any playground. While our parents visited (and occasionally checked up on us), we kids headed outside and made our own brand of fun.

First of all, there was the old barn with its man-gers where we might find some eggs in a hen’s nest or a bunch of wild kittens that we tried to catch with-out sustaining too many scratches in the process. When we ventured into the hay lof t we had to tread carefully so our legs wouldn’t s l ip between the logs. The lean-to con-

structed on the far side of the barn (hidden from our parents’ viewpoint) was easy to climb via the calf pen fence and from there we could jump onto the haystack. But we had to be careful not to mess it up too much or Gedo would be upset and we would be in big trouble.

There were always tur-keys, geese and brooding hens to tease, taunting them to give us chase, which they often did. The sows in the pigpen would also turn on us if we bugged them long enough and dared to get close enough. And the bull tethered in the long grass could be a target, but we had a healthy respect

for his power although he usually just stared at us. But when he started to snort, our bravery quickly disappeared and we wisely headed off to our next ad-venture.

We would always try to ride Gedo’s bike which was much too big for us, but we tried anyway and bruised many a shin in the attempt. Just as a sidenote, it is quite unfathomable to us today, to think that this bicycle was used by him to make the 10 km trip to town to deliver cream and pick up groceries.

There was a makeshift playhouse behind the sum-mer kitchen where Gedo constructed a crude ta-

ble for us and we nailed wooden boxes to the wall to use as cupboards. My cousin and I col lected used tins and such to stock our pretend kitchen. We made beautiful mud cakes and pies decorated with pin cherries and leaves, and tried to convince our younger cousins to eat them.

And the re were the games which required little or no equipment. Hide and seek was a favourite until someone hid so well that we couldn’t fi nd him, so we would give up and go do something else without in-forming the successful hid-er. Tag was fun until some-one fell and skinned a knee

(usually me). We playedAnti-I-Over and 500 with afence-post bat and ball.

I guess we live in a dif-ferent world and I am asthankful as the next personfor all our modern conve-niences which have madelife much easier, but notnecessarily simpler. Yet Ican’t help but feel a littleregret that most childrentoday will never have thejoy of exploring the oldfarmyard and all the fun,games and adventures thatcame along with doing so.

Are Supreme Court judg-es stepping over their judi-cial limitations?

Never before in the his-tory of Canada has any Su-

preme Court judge been able to declare any drug safe for medicinal purposes without the formal autho-rization to market or dis-

tribute a medicine without a Notice of Compliance is-sued by Health Canada.

The recent approval by the Supreme Court allowing

marijuana drug sales with-out the approval of Health Canada is a strange phe-nomenon indeed.

It strikes me more like a

democratic dictatorship than anything else. Is there any-one who holds these Judges accountable? How?

One can only wonder,

just who runs the country– the government or the Su-preme Court judges?

Who runs this country – the Supreme Court or the federal government?

Capacity audience cheers Kamsack Community Choirat its annual spring concert entitled Colour My World

Members of the Kamsack Community Choir who performed in Colour My World, their spring concert, under the direction of Susan Bear and with accompaniment by Marilyn Marsh on June 14, from left, were: (back row) Brian Izumi, Bruce Dietrich, John Adamyk, Bruno Lemire, Elaine Sandberg, Donna Sequin, Arlene Smorodin, Audrey Horkoff, Milena Hollett, Debbie Sears, Zennovia Duch, and (front) Florence Swetlikoff, Barb Lange, Nancy Welykholowa, Kathie Galye, Sandy Nykolaishen, Diane Larson, Helen Konkin, Mary Welykholowa and Winnifred Koroluk.

Performing as a trio were John Adamyk, Kathie Galye and Zennovia Duch.

Recit ing Any Dream Will Do from The Coat of Many Colours was Ashley Hollett, dressed i n a c o a t o f m a n y colours.

A quartet comprised of John Adamyk, Kathie Galye, Susan Bear and Zennovia Duch performed Lavender Blue.

On behalf of the choir, Nancy Welykholowapresented potted succulent arrangements toMarilyn Marsh and Susan Bear.

Continued from Front PageSears said that the choir

and guest performers were going to perform a rain-bow, starting with the bot-tom and working up to the top of the rainbow, and in-troduced Susan Bear, the conductor, Marilyn Marsh, the pianist, and guest per-formers Darren Kitsch on percussion, Kyler Kitsch on trumpet, Kathleen Raabel on flute, Jeremy Ruten on piano and Ashley Hollett doing a recitation.

“We would like to thank them a l l for he lp ing to make our concert extra spe-cial.”

In t roducing the f i r s t song, Purple People Eater, Sears said that the song, written and performed by Sheb Wooley, reached num-ber one on the Billboard pop charts in 1958.

Lavender ’s Blue is an English folk song and nurs-ery rhyme dating to the 17th century, he said as he intro-duced the second selection which was performed by a quartet of John Adamyk, Kathie Galye, Zennovia Duch and Susan Bear.

Deep Purple was the biggest hit written by pia-nist Peter DeRose, he said of the next selection. In 1934, a year after it was published as a piano com-posit ion, Paul Whitman had it scored for his big band orchestra. It was so popular as sheet music that lyrics were added in 1938. It was then recorded and became a hit for many oth-

er musicians. The British rock band, Deep Purple got its name from this song which was a favourite of the guitarist’s grandmother. A piano version was per-formed by Marilyn Marsh and Jeremy Ruten.

A blue moon is an extra full moon that appears in the subdivision of a year, either the third of four full moons in a season or the second full moon in a month, Sears explained. The song, Blue Moon was written by Rich-ard Rogers and Lorenz Hart in 1934 and has become a standard ballad. In 1949 it was actually a hit twice for two different artists. The narrator of the song is re-lating a stroke of luck so unlikely that it must have taken place under a blue moon. Zennovia Duch, Su-san Bear and Kathie Galye

performed Blue Moon as arranged by Roger Emmer-son.

Love I s B lue , wh ich was sung by the choir, is a French song whose music was composed by Andre Popp and whose lyrics were written by Pierre Cour in 1967, he said. Brian Black-burn later wrote English lyrics for it. First performed in French by Greek singer Vicky Leandros as the Lux-embourgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1967, it has since been recorded by many other musicians, most notably French orchestra leader Paul Mauriat, whose fa-miliar instrumental version

became the only number one hit by a French artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in America.

Blue Bayou was written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson and was originally recorded by Orbison but became Linda Ronstadt’s s igna ture song . Kath ie Galye, Susan Bear and Ze-nnovia Duch performed an arrangement, also done by Roger Emmerson.

Alice Blue is a pale tint of azure that was favoured by Alice Roosevelt Long-worth, daughter of The-odore Roosevelt , which sparked a fashion sensation in the United States. This shade is also referred to as white-blue or ice blue. The hit song Alice Blue Gown, inspired by Longworth’s signature gown, premiered in Harry Tierney’s 1919 Broadway musical Irene. The mus ica l was made into a fi lm in 1940 starring Anna Neagle and Ray Mil-land. Marilyn Marsh and

Jeremy Ruten performed the tune as a the piano duet.

Bein’ Green is a popular song written by Joe Rapo-so, originally performed by Jim Henson as Kermit the Frog on both Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. It was later covered by Frank Sinatra and other perform-ers, he said, adding that the choir would be singing an arrangement by Paul Langford.

The emcee then slipped on a green Riders’ jersey

as did all members of thechoir.

The song And The Green Grass Grew was first pub-lished in 1912, with wordsby Wil l iam Jerome andmelody by Harry Von Tilz-er, he said. Today it has be-come a popular children’s song. Susan Bear, Kathie Galye and Zennovia Duch sang a version as a mad-rigal that was arranged byDonald Moore.

Yellow Bird, which was then sung by the choir, wasfirst recorded in 1957 butexisted in other variations before that, Sears said.

Yellow Submarine is a1966 song by the Beatleswhich was written by JohnLennon and Paul McCart-ney and with lead vocalsby Ringo Starr, is the mostsuccessful Beatles song to feature Ringo as the leadvocalist. Although intend-ed as a nonsense song forchildren, it has received various social and politi-cal interpretations. It was sung by the trio of Zenno-via Duch, Kathie Galye andSusan Bear.

Turning next to a song that is a little more mod-ern, the choir sang Fieldsof Gold,

a 1993 song by Sting which was a hit in manyEuropean countries as well as Canada and the US.

“This song is about feel-ing joyous, but knowingthat the joy is going to endsomeday,” he said. “Stingwrote it after he bought ahouse near a barley field.The sunset and the coloursof the fi eld were an inspira-tion for the lyrics, as was hiswife.”

At the piano Marilyn Marsh and Jeremy Ruten played Deep Purple.

Zennovia Duch sang Red River Valley as a solo.

S u s a n B e a r , t h e conductor of the choir, per formed That Old Black Magic.

Continued from Page 6After the intermission,

Sears said that Red River Valley is a folk song and cowboy music standard of controversial origins. One of the theories is that is was composed at the time of the Wolseley Expedi-tion to the northern Red River Valley in Manitoba in 1870. It expresses the sorrow of a local woman (possibly Métis) as her sol-dier lover prepares to re-turn to the east. It was per-formed by Zennovia Duch.

W h e n T h e R e d , R e d Robin Comes Bob, Bob Bobbin’ Along is a popular song written in 1926 by Harry M. Woods. Al Jolson had the most success with this song although several others have recorded it . An arrangement by Harry Simeone was performed by Zennovia Duch, Susan Bear and Kathie Galye.

Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White is a popu-lar song whose music was writ ten by Louiguy and has lyrics written in both French and English. How-ever, the most popular ver-s ion was an instrumen-tal one in 1955. The choir sang the English version with lyrics by Mack David.

I G a v e M y L o v e A Cherry is also known as the Riddle Song. It is an English folksong, appar-

ently a lullaby, which was carried by settlers to the American Appalachians. It was performed by Zen-novia Duch, Kathie Galye and John Adamyk.

There are some colours that aren’t part of the rain-bow, such as brown, Sears said. Little Brown Jug is a song written in 1869 by Jo-seph Winner. It was origi-nally a drinking song. It remained well-known as a folksong into the early 20th century. Like many songs which make reference to al-cohol, it enjoyed new popu-larity during the prohibition era. In 1939, band leader Glenn Miller recorded and broadcast his swing instru-mental arrangement with great success, and the num-ber became one of the best known orchestrations of the American big band era. It was performed by the choir.

“ We h a v e a n o t h e r brown song, Sweet Geor-gia Brown,” he said. It is a jazz standard and pop tune writ ten in 1925 by Ben Bern ie and Maceo P inkard wi th ly r i c s by Kenneth Casey. Georgia Brown was the daughter of a long-time member of the State House of Representa-tives of Georgia and her father told the story to Ben Bernie of how, subsequent to her birth on August 11, 1911, the Georgia General Assembly issued a decla-ration that she was to be named Georgia after the state. An arrangement of the song by Jay Althouse was performed by Susan Bear, Zennovia Duch and John Adamyk.

“And now we have the colour black. We all know the children’s rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep. Tonight

we have a different version of Black Sheep. This one is a folk lullaby from the Ap-palachians and has been ar-ranged by Robert F. Swift. It was sung by the choir.

That Old Black Magic is a popular 1942 song fi rst recorded and released as a single by Glen Miller and his orchestra. The music was written by Harold Ar-len and lyrics by Joseph McArthy. It has been sung and recorded by many art-ists. An arrangement by Kirby Shaw was sung by Susan Bear.

Bye, Bye Blackbird is a

song published in 1926 by the composer Ray Hender-son and lyricist Mort Dix-on. It is considered a popu-lar standard and was first recorded by Gene Austin in 1926 and has since been recorded by many artists. The choir sang a version which was arranged by Jay Althouse.

“ A l t h o u g h t h i s n e x t song doesn’t have colour in its title, it is from the v e r y p o p u l a r m u s i c a l , Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat . It was written by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice

in 1968 for the musical. We are delighted to have Ash ley Hol le t t he re to present Any Dream Will Do accompanied by Mari-lyn Marsh.

“Well, now that we have gone through all our co-lours how appropriate that the last song on our pro-gram is I’m Always Chas-ing Rainbows,” Sears said. I t i s a Vaudevi l le songcredited to Harry Carroll, a l though the melody isactually adapted from a song by Frederic Chopin. The lyrics were writ ten by Joseph McCarthy and the song was publishedin 1917. It is a true stan-dard and has been recordedby many artists over the years. The choir performedan arrangement by Hugo Frey.

On behalf of the choir, Nancy Welykholowa pre-sented potted succulentarrangements to Marsh andBear and then the choir performed Look for theSilver Lining.

“One colour we never covered was silver,” Sears said as he introduced the number. “You’ve heardthat every cloud has a sil-ver l ining, and we want you to Look for the Silver Lining in whatever cir-cumstance you may find yourself.

The dramatic reductions in surgical wait times that began during the four-year Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative have continued, with even more patients receiving sooner, safer, smarter surgical care a year later.

The number of patients waiting more than three months for surgery is down 89 per cent, with 13,613 fewer patients waiting that long for surgery on March 31, 2015 than in March 2010.

“Saskatchewan patients now have much better access to surgery,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “The combined efforts of thousands of health system staff and physicians have transformed the surgical care experience so patients spend less time waiting and are able to recover sooner.”

Of the 10 health regions that offer surgery, seven had zero patients waiting longer than three months for surgery as of March 31, 2015.

Showing big improvement in the past year, Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region reduced the number of its patients waiting more than three months to 443 (down from 2,314 a year ago). Prince Albert Parkland Health Region had just 20. Saskatoon Health Region experienced a surge in demand for surgeries during 2014-15, but was still able to reduce its num-ber of patients waiting more than three months to 1,215 (down slightly from 1,469 in March 2014, but an 84 per cent reduction from the more than 7,719 patients waiting that long in 2010). Saskatoon provided 39,348 surgeries in 2014-15, nearly 2,000 more than the previous year and close to half of the 89,420 sur-geries provided by Saskatchewan’s health system.

For the period January 1 to March 31, 2015, 89.2 per cent of Saskatchewan surgical patients received surgery or an offer of surgery within three months, up from 80.8 per cent during the same period a year ago.

Many improvement projects that began under the Surgical Initiative are continuing:

• An online specialist directory helps patients identify surgi-cal options;

• The number of specialist groups that pool referrals contin-ues to grow, allowing patients the option to see the fi rst appro-priate specialist, or wait for a specifi c specialist;

• Timely and appropriate care through clinical pathways continues, with work underway on acute stroke care and lower-extremity wounds;

• A focus on reducing the use of MRIs for lower back pain except when symptoms indicate that an MRI exam is appropri-ate; and

• Expanded capacity through third-party surgical and diag-nostic services.

More patients are receiving surgeries sooner

By Kari Burnett and Jenay WerleRegional farm business management specialistsMinistry of Agriculture

As discussed in my last article, while financial statements are the measur-ing stick for farm business analysis, many farmers do not use them to their full potential. Taking it to the next step, financial state-ment ratios can be used in everyday farming, no dif-ferent than yield per acre, pounds gained per day, or percentage calf crop. There are three main types of ratios that are common-

Using fi nancial statement ratios ly monitored: liquidity, solvency and profi tability. This article will focus on liquidity and solvency.

Liquidity is a measure of the farm’s ability to meet its financial obliga-tions (debts) as they come due without disrupting the normal business opera-tions. It measures the re-lationship between current assets and current liabili-ties. Current assets are the assets that are cash, or can be easily converted to cash – what’s in the bin, the barn, and the bank. Cur-rent liabilities are due in the next year – for exam-

ple an operating loan and/or the current portion of the long term debt that is due in the next 12 months. Common liquidity mea-sures are the current ratio, working capital and debt structure ratio.

• The current ratio mea-sures the current assets

available to cover the cur-rent liabilities. A strong current ratio is greater than 2:1, or for every dollar of liabilities due, there is $2 available to cover them. This would be ideal for an operation with seasonal cash flow, such as a cow-calf operation or a grain

farm. If cash fl ow is more regular, like a dairy opera-tion, then a lower current ratio could be safe.

• Working capital is an-other measure of liquidity, calculated by taking the current assets minus the current liabilities. It mea-sures the cash available to operate the business after the current liabilities have been paid. Remember this is a snapshot in time, and may not be realistic if the farm manager is unable to sell inventory, or collect on accounts receivable.

• Debt structure is cal-culated by dividing the current liabilities by the total liabilities. Generally, less than 20 per cent is an acceptable debt structure, meaning that the operation is scheduled to pay back 20 per cent or less of the total debt in the year. Hav-ing a higher debt structure can be acceptable if the to-tal amount of debt is low, and should be considered in conjunction with the current ratio and the work-ing capital.

Solvency measures the ability of the business to meet its total debt obliga-tions if all its assets were sold (either by choice or not). If the market value of the total assets is greater than the market value of the liabilities, the busi-ness is said to be solvent. Common measurements of solvency include net worth, debt to asset ratio, and debt to equity ratio.

• Net worth is simply the money lef t over i f the assets of the business were sold and debts paid. Having a net worth that increases over time mea-sures fi nancial progress.

• Debt to asset ratio, sometimes called the sol-vency ratio, is the total lia-bilities divided by the total assets. This ratio measures the farm’s ability to pay off all its debt if the as-sets were sold. A debt to asset ratio of less than one means the business is sol-vent.

• Debt to equity ratio, also called the leverage ratio, measures the amount of owned capital to the amount of borrowed capi-tal, and measures fi nancial

risk. Less than 50 per centis a desired ratio, and thehigher the ratio, the greater the exposure to financialrisk.

Financial statement ra-tios generated by the farmcan be compared to bench-marks set for the indus-try, but it is usually morevaluable to compare yourbusiness against itself overa period of years. This canhelp you to identify trendswithin your business. Itis important to rememberthat decisions will be nobetter than the informationthey are based on, so it’simportant that informa-tion is accurate and com-plete. Combining goodjudgment and commonsense with fi nancial state-ment analysis will increase decision-making ability.Ratios should be lookedat in combination, as thereare limitations when usedalone. My next article willfocus on profi tability ratiosand measures.

The Ministry of Agri-culture has the Compre-hensive Guide to Financial Management available onthe website (www.agricul-ture.gov.sk.ca). The guideis divided into five mainsections:

• Interests, motivations, goals and purpose;

• Record keeping and accounting fundamentals;

• Farm financial state-ments;

• Financial analysis and determining farm fi nancialhealth, and

• Action planning..There are sub-sections

within each of these mainsections, identifying spe-cific tools and sources ofinformation to assist witheducation and comprehen-sion of financial nanage-ment. The guide outlinessuggested processes andhighlights some key re-sources that may be help-ful, but it is not intendedthat a farm manager woulduse all resources in theguide at all times. Depend-ing on the level of under-standing the manager cur-rently has, only some ofthe resources in the guidemay apply. This guide isnot intended to be a com-plete list of all availableresources.

Gains for wholesale tradepercentage increase among the provinces.

“Saskatchewan’s econ-omy is making real gains in many areas,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Diversifi cation has put our province in a highly com-petitive position relative to the other provinces.”

In total, wholesale trade in April was $2.4 billion, up from $2.0 billion in

2014. That’s the higheston record for the month ofApril.

“The record wholesale numbers from April showthe strength of Saskatch-ewan’s economy,” Boydsaid. “Population and jobsare up, which is a clear in-dication that Saskatchewanpeople are prospering andwell positioned for the fu-ture.”

By Garry BreitkreuzYorkton-Melville MP

Canada Day is a cel-ebration of all that is great about our country – it hon-ours our past, our pres-ent and our future. Our government is proud to celebrate Canada’s rich history, diverse natural and cultural heritage, strong values and many accom-plishments.

Canada Day is a per-fect time to remember that heritage; the things we, as a country, have survived and the things that have made us strong.

Canada Day is a good day to celebrate the com-mon goals and strengths that unite us.

Canada Day is a good day to strengthen our re-solve not to let our differ-ences divide us.

And Canada Day is a good day to commemo-rate a history filled with notable f igures whose legacy has enriched the Canadian and global com-

We have every reason to celebrate on Canada Day

munity. For instance, Alexander

Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone changed the way the world com-municates forever. Harriet Tubman’s courage and de-termination helped hun-dreds of slaves escape to freedom in Canada along the Underground Rail-road. Nellie McClung’s leadership paved the way for equality for women in Canada. Terry Fox’s in-spiring cross-Canada run continues to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Canada’s men and women in uniform have courageously fought tyranny and evil around the world throughout our history. And, every day, hard-working and gener-ous Canadians from coast to coast to coast contribute to the Canadian experi-ence.

For nearly a century and a half, Canadians have worked together to build a place of peace, dignity,

and freedom, united and prosperous. The Fathers of Confederation founded our great country with a vision for a united and prosper-ous Canada. A hundred and forty-eight years lat-er, Canada stands on the world stage as a nation strong and free.

Canad ians sha re so much, including the com-mon nat ional her i tage passed down from previ-ous generations of people who shaped this country. Though our family histo-

ries may differ, that heri-tage is uniquely our own, whether Canadian by birth or adoption.

Our government is not content only to look back, however. We’re committed to building a stronger and more prosperous Canada for years to come. We are helping create jobs and opportunities for all Cana-dians, while keeping taxes low and balancing the bud-get. We are helping make our streets and commu-nities safer. We are mak-ing historic infrastructure investments in communi-ties across Canada. We are conserving Canada’s rich natural beauty. And we are protecting and promoting Canadian values of free-dom, democracy and the rule of law in Canada and abroad.

Our Gove rnmen t i s proud to celebrate Can-ada – the best country in the world. God bless our country, and Happy Cana-da Day!

A team comprised of members of the communi-ties of Keeseekoose and Cote First Nations was the top fundraising team at the Kidney Foundation of Canada walk in Yorkton on June 14.

The team raised over $1,300, said Kristal White-hawk. “We all walked for Jory Keshane, who had kidney failure on Decem-ber 31, 2014, and under-goes dialysis three times a week in Yorkton.”

Whitehawk said that Jory Keshane, 25 , the son of Crystal and Mark W h i t e h a w k o f K e e s -eekoose and grandson to Ernie and Violet Keshane, had been taking university courses in Yorkton and had won scholarships last year.

M a r k a n d C r y s t a l Whitehawk organized the walk for Team Jory Kes-hane and family members collected pledges from supporters in Kamsack, Yorkton and Melville.

For having collected the most pledges at the walk, Team Jory was treated to a pizza party at Boston Pizza in Yorkton.

Included on Team Jory were: his parents; a sis-ter, Christie Whitehawk;

THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2015PAGE 18 KAMSACK TIMES

TODOSCHUK - Cheryl was born on October 13th, 1963, the youngest of three, to Bill and Vivian Toderash in Swan River Manitoba. She spent her school life in Swan River, and later moved to Mafeking, where she worked as a school bus driver, Conserva-tion Fire Watch and volun-teered with Mafeking Fire De-partment. It was there that she first took an interest in be-coming an emergency re-sponder, which she achieved and started working in Swan River, and later in Roblin. She

often spoke fondly of the people and the time spent working with EMS. She took pride in what she did, and always tried to do her best. It was during this time she met the love of her life, Tony Todoschuk. They were together for two years before they were married in St. Michael’s church in the district of Veregin, just south of their home, in 2005. Cheryl loved her family and friends dearly, and indulged in every opportunity to spend time with them. When she wasn’t with people she cared about, she en-joyed the peace and quiet of the country life, which jived well with her aptitude for speed reading, sometimes reading an entire novel in a day. She hung up her EMS jacket after marrying To-ny, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t busy. She always enjoyed spending any time she could with Tony’s two children, which she loved as her own. In addition, she worked at the Togo and Kam-sack Credit Union, and later for the Kamsack Union Hospital as a CSR. She fought bravely against cancer several times, always with her head held high, and a smile in her heart, often uplifting those around her with her infectious laugh, contagious smile, and always present sense of humour. Cheryl passed away on Friday, June 12, 2015 at the Kamsack Health Centre. She was 51 years of age. She is survived by her loving husband Tony, his two children Kolton and Teawna, parents Bill and Vivian, brothers Clarence (Valerie), Glen (Gloria) and nephews Aaron and Devin. Prayers were held on Tuesday evening, June 16th 2015, the funeral service was held on Wednesday morning, June 17th, all from St. Mark’s Orthodox Church in Yorkton. Fa-ther Rodion Luciuk officiated, and Cantor, Zenovia Duch led in the singing of the responses. Crossbearer was Steve Toderash. Cheryl’s nephew Devin Toderash gave the eulogy. The inter-ment took place in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens followed by a reception in the Family Centre. The pallbearers were Aaron, De-vin, Peter and Scott Toderash, and Teawna & Kolton Todos-chuk. Memorials may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 29 2nd Ave. N. Yorkton, SK S3N 1G1. The funeral care was en-trusted to Bailey’s Funeral Home.

As Saskatchewan resi-dents celebrated Clean Air Day during Canadian En-vironment Week, updated ambient air quality stan-dards came into effect that will protect the province, its people and its future.

As part of the new Sas-katchewan Environmental Code chapters that took ef-fect on June 1, Saskatch-ewan’s Ambient Air Quality Standards now align with new national objectives for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and ozone.

“In Saskatchewan, we have clean air and we want to keep it that way,” Envi-ronment Minister Herb Cox said. “Our government’s new standards have been developed to better protect human health and our envi-ronment.”

In 2013, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment agreed to implement a Canada-wide Air Quality Management System. The new system includes emission require-ments for major emitters, and increased air zone mon-itoring and reporting re-quirements. In 2015, the Ca-nadian Ambient Air Quality Standards for sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) will be updated and should be completed by the end of 2016. New standards will help provide consistent targets for industries across the country.

Over the past several years, air monitoring ef-forts have increased across the province. Saskatchewannow has 18 continuous airmonitoring stations oper-ated by the ministry andlocal air zones measuring regional air quality lev-els and providing the AirQuality Index online for the public. The air zonesinclude stakeholders fromgovernment, industry andnon-government organiza-tions, who work together toaddress local and regional air quality issues.

“Addressing air qual-ity issues will help main-tain clean air and createa hea l thy env i ronmentfor everyone,” Ministry of Environment Chief En-gineer Kevin McCullumsaid. “Additional monitor-ing will help the provinceand its industries grow ina responsible manner, and individuals can take an ac-tive part to reduce air pollu-tion by using public transit,walking, cycling or turning off electronics when not inuse.”

Canadian Environment Week took place May 31to June 6 this year and in-cluded World EnvironmentDay on June 5, as adoptedby the United Nations. En-vironment Week providesan opportunity to discoversimple actions you can taketo protect the environmentthroughout the year.

With an accelerated plan to close the Sunrise Health District’s regional laundry facility in Yorkton, its last day was Friday in-stead of September 11.

Due to recently identi-fied safety requirements, the Sunrise Health Region executive and the board

made the decision to accel-erate the planned closure, according to last week’s r e l e a s e f r o m S u n r i s e Health Region.

“Safety for everyone is our number one priority,” said CEO Suann Laurent. “In the Sunrise Health Re-gion we promote a culture

of safety and we need to stop the line every time safety is in question.”

Regional laundry was originally scheduled for closure on September 11. As of June 19 there would have been 57 days of pro-duction left. Affected staff will continue with their

t ransit ion options that were planned for the origi-nal closure date.

“The employees in re-gional laundry are dedicat-ed to their work and have provided quality laundry services,” said Lorelei Stusek, vice-president of corporate services.

There is no anticipated disruption in linen ser-vices for patients, resi-dents, or clients during this transition. Plans for the original closure of the plant will continue and in the interim, laundry will be sent to the K-Bro plant in Edmonton for process-

ing and theYorkton facility will be

a depot until September11.

“I would like to thank staff, management, the ex-ecutive and the board forputting safety first,” saidLawrence Chomos, boardchairperson.

KAMSACK SWIMMING POOL IS OPEN

The executive committee of the Norquay Recreation Board was re-elected for another year during its meeting of June 8.

The committee is comprised of: Reagan Foster, president; Stacy Rubletz, vice-president; Lilia Livingstone, secretary, and Nicole Korpusik, treasurer. Signing authority remains with the treasurer and any one of the other members of the executive.

Maggie Lukey said that Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) grant money totalled $14,000 for the Communiplex Manage-ment Board and it will go towards the replacement of lights in the rink, which is expected to be done this autumn.

Discussing soccer, Nicole Korpusik said that the majors team has been playing weekly games against teams from Canora, Sturgis, and Preeceville. The seniors have been playing home-and-away games against Swan River. The soccer windup was to be held June 23.

Korpusik said that the chamber of commerce is continuing to work on a comprehensive two-year visitors’ guide to distrib-ute in the area. Persons wishing more information on the guide are asked to contact Norquay Agencies.

“Transparency always plays a key role in discussions and included numerous meet-ings with both senior administration as well as board members before determining the finalized budget,” said Sherry Todosichuk, superintendent of business administration.

“Administration has taken the board direc-tive that the budget include a defined focus on aligning resources so that areas such as staffing, supports for learning, and health and safety are targeted to ensure dollars meet identifi ed needs.”

Highlights of the 2015/2016 budget include the following:

Touch, see and experience innovation in action at Ag in Motion, Western Canada’s only outdoor farm expo. Learn what’s new in agriculture – all in one place. Attend a field demonstration to see equipment in operation, check out live crop plots to compare varieties just before harvest, take a test drive or visit interactive exhibits. Touch innovation this summer at Ag in Motion.

SASKATOON

LANGHAM16

ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions. A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field – operating in the same environment it’s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist. Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canada’s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, it’s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as “ride and drives” and smaller equipment demos.

“Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,” says Show Director Rob O’Connor. “There’s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.”

What does an outdoor show look like?The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, the country’s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows what’s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business – make decisions – and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca.

Live Demos and Interactive ExhibitsThe number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.
