Wet weather slows seeding progressSignificant seeding progress was made this past week. Thirty-four per cent of the 2015
crop is now seeded, according to the Saskatchewan Agriculture Crop Report. The five-year(2010-2014) average for this time of year is nine per cent seeded.
Producers in the southwest are most advanced, with 61 per cent of the crop seeded. In thesoutheast, 45 per cent is seeded; the west-central region has 26 per cent seeded; the east-central region 16 per cent, the northeastern region 13 per cent and northwestern region has31 per cent seeded.
Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 10 per cent surplus, 76 per centadequate and 14 per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as six percent surplus, 74 per cent adequate, 16 per cent short and four per cent very short. Moistureconditions vary throughout the province.
In parts of the southwestern and west-central regions, some moisture would be beneficialto get crops off to a good start. Some areas in the southeast and in the east-central region,however, still have surplus moisture.
Cool weather has resulted in slow emergence of crops. Some farmers have reported frostdamage to emerged crops and alfalfa.

Teaspoons and babiesBy Linda Wegner
Though I'm not a bettingperson, I do maintain thatthe cutlery in my kitchendrawer regularly gives birthto offspring. Honestly! Ifnot, please explain that I nowam the proud owner of twiceas many teaspoons as I hada couple of years ago. It's anhonour besmirched withconfusion bordering onguilt, I must add.
It's the same with the forks.And serving spoons. Andabove all, with the tableknives. Patterns somewhatsimilar to the original lie sideby side alongside graceful
By Andrea CorriganI receive a lot of input from family and friends who
are in the farming community about just how thingsare run in rural Saskatchewan. I was raised in Estevanbut had (and still do) have acquaintances in the "field"that like to keep me "informed".
One of my acquaintances recently sent this to me andI thought I would pass it along to my readers. It prettywell sums up any non-believers on the subject. Enjoy!

Friends, I am reminded about Jesus prayer in the Bible recorded in the gospel of John 17.Jesus does not limit himself to pray for his disciples but also for those who will believe in Himin the ages to follow through the Word shared by His disciples.
Here we are in the middle of this year 2015 and I believe it's time we, as believers in Christ,begin to enter the oneness Jesus prayed for in John 17: 21 - “That they all may be one, as YouFather, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believethat You sent Me”.
It's time we held on to one another in good times as well as bad. It's time we realized thatwe need one another. We do, you know. I need your faith as much as much as you needmine. Together, we can face anything, and win in Jesus.
Are you fed up with religion? Are you tired of rituals?Cheer up! I have good news for you. Jesus did not come to make us legalistic but to serve
God with joy. You can serve God 24/7 with joy only when you are filled with God's spiriteveryday. Read John 7: 38.
Friends, the God I serve is not a task Master but a Good Master.If we claim to be believers in Jesus, than we will be convinced without a shadow of a doubt,
that we have the Best news to share to this world. I presume we all know John 3:16 from thetime we were children.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes inHim should not perish but have everlasting life”. Verse 17 is equally important - “For Goddid not sent His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Himmight be saved”.
We have a world to win! We are the end-time generation. We need all the help we can get.Rise up Friend! Will you join hands with me to see the exceedingly great army that God
is raising up in our generation? Hallelujah!Pastor Cherian Poonnoose, The Lighthouse Church

implements sporting an un-til now, unfamiliar design. Ieven found an elegantlyshaped serving spoon with agold coloured stripe snakingits way down the handle. Itook it to the only person Ithought might be the ownerbut with no success. Afterchecking with family andfriends I'm no farther aheadso I publicly declare that I'mreturning to my original hy-pothesis: my cutlery has babies.
Because I can't trace theoccasion or event where Imay have inadvertentlyscoffed someone else's silver-ware I have no option butto go ahead and store it withmy honestly acquired imple-ments but I know what'smine and what isn't.
Matching silverware pat-terns with the rightful own-
ers is problematic; matchingwhat we profess to believewith how we actually live isof eternal importance. Moresimply put, it's calling prac-ticing what we preach.
"But anybody who is liv-ing by the truth will come tothe light to make it plain thatall he has done has beendone through God."
"By this shall all [men]know that you are My dis-ciples, if you love one an-other [if you keep on show-ing love among yourselves]."
Dear Lord: let Your loveso stamp my life with authen-ticity that those around mewill know without a doubtthat I belong to You. Amen.

3. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'dirt road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. Nomatter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of myway.
4. They are cattle. They're live steaks. That's why they smell funny to you. But they smell likemoney to us. Get over it. Don't like it? Hwy 1 goes east and west, Hwy 6 goes north and south.Pick one and leave.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $395,000 combines that aredriven only 3 weeks a year.
6. So every person in rural Saskatchewan waves. It's called 'being friendly', try to under-stand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while an eight-point buck and three does are coming in, we WILLshoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat meat and potatoes. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at thecorner bait shop.
9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer hunting season. It's a religious holiday heldthe closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for ladies. That is applied to all ladies, regardless of age.11. There's little here for 'vegetarians' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the
Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham & turkey.12. Our meals have three main dishes: meat, vegetables and potatoes. We use three spices:
salt, pepper and ketchup.13. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.14. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a
truck and have long hair.15. Saskatchewan Hockey League and Minor Hockey is as important here as the Calgary
Flames and the Edmonton Oilers and more fun to watch.16. We have more golf courses per capita than anywhere else in the world. But don't hit

Working to improve the health care systemSun Country Health Region is embarking on another
year of strategies to improve the health care system on whichyou rely. The 2015-16 fiscal year will be one of retrench-ment; completing or sustaining very necessary practices thatwe were unable to satisfactorily conclude last year, and work-ing closely with the Ministry of Health and other healthregions in the province to ensure the Saskatchewan HealthCare Management system is working "as one."
The four projects chosen this year are: Stop Staff Injuries(Zero Injuries by 2020); Stop the Line Safety Alert System;Appropriate Use of Antibiotics, and Hand Hygiene to StopInfections.
The first one is very ambitious but challenging to imple-ment. In SCHR, we want a workplace culture that is fullycommitted to preventing and reducing workplace injuries.We do not want our employees injured at work. We wantthem where we need them to provide services.
The second project is related but refers to stopping anyaction or behavior that might have the potential to cause aninjury to either a patient or employee. To reach that goal,we need a workplace where patients and staff feel comfort-

able speaking up when they see something that is hazardous.The third project refers to the use of antibiotics. The
SCHR team, including doctors, staff and patients, want toensure that antibiotics are used appropriately, that healthcare personnel and patients understand when antibioticsshould be prescribed and why, thus reducing antimicrobialresistance.
The fourth project, hand hygiene to stop infections, isbeing replicated across the Region. The correct hand-wash-ing process and environmental cleaning methods need to besustained. A plan was developed to include sufficient train-ers, a standard process for trainers, improved reportingmethods, and better tools for auditing and consistent visualmanagement. During the course of our busy work days, thetendency is to not meet expectations 100 per cent of thetime. This year, we will do better.
All four projects are intended to ensure we provide topquality care for the patients/residents/clients we serve inour facilities and programs.
We also have a responsibility to work with the provincialhealth system to provide better care in all facilities, includingurban emergency departments where people are waiting longhours for care and admission. We do our part to improvedpatient flow by bringing SCHR residents back to recuperatein their home communities after receiving health care inRegina or Saskatoon.
The sooner we accept our residents home with home care,or to one of our facilities, the sooner more of those beds inthe larger centres will be available for new patients.
Those strategies provide us with direction and plans forthe new fiscal year. We will devote time and resources toachieve our goals.

Changes to Saskatchewan's big game draw application pro-cess for 2015 mean that hunters will need to track down HALbefore they have the opportunity to track down any animals.
HAL is the Ministry of Environment's online hunting,angling and trapping licence system - and this year it is thegateway for big game draw applications, which need to becompleted and submitted before the draw closes at mid-night on June 2.
"The process is modernized and streamlined to make iteasier for hunters and anglers. Everything you need is in oneplace," said Travis Williams of the ministry's Fish and Wild-life Branch, noting that HAL allows for the purchase oflicences at any time - 24 hours a day, seven days a week - usinga personal account. "In addition to it being a one-stop shop,security on the HAL system has recently been upgraded tobetter secure personal information. Users are now requiredto have a password to further protect their account."
Creating a HAL account is a quick and easy one-time onlyrequirement and most hunters already have one. If you'vepreviously purchased a Saskatchewan hunting, angling ortrapping licence, or if you applied for the big game draw lastyear, then you're already registered. Those who are regis-tered have been assigned a HAL identification number, whichcan be used for all future licence purchasing. Please ensurethat your personal information is current and up to date.For Saskatchewan residents, this includes confirming thatyour name and date of birth is exactly as it appears on yourSaskatchewan Health Services Card.
The big game draw is a method used to fairly distribute thelimited number of hunting licences to Saskatchewan residentsfor big game animals such as mule deer, elk and moose. Thedraw uses a system of priority pools to ensure that all appli-cants are treated equally with a higher priority being given tothose who have not been drawn for a number of years.
The big game draw's availability on HAL this year meansusers will be able to apply for the draw through their onlineHAL account instead of the Ministry of Environmentwebsite. Users will also be able to update and review submit-ted applications, check pool status history and purchasetheir awarded licences from their online account.
"The big game draw is really popular, so I would encour-age hunters to apply early," said Williams, who has one moretip for those interested in entering in the draw: "Make sureto read the big game draw supplement. It has important
