Elevators have no future in the west (Continued from page 22) It thrived back in the middle years of the century. Now, the popuâ€" lation has shrivelled to 43â€"â€"many of them oldâ€"timers planning to leave for a town with a doctor when their health starts to fail. Trouble is, there‘s not much to do in Piapot, now that the train doesn‘t stop there any more. Next year, another nail in the coffin. The Piapot grain elevator is scheduled to close. It‘s a depressingly familiar story on the prairies these days. There‘s a contractor by the name of Don Wilcox who has spent the past 15 years pulling down grain elevators all across Saskatchewan. It wasn‘t Don‘s ideaâ€"â€"the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool hired him to do it. Saskatchewan wheat farmers are consolidatingâ€"â€"moving their crops into huge centralized concrete bunkers that can hold 100 times the volume of those rickety old wooden elevators. The new structures aren‘t called clevators. They‘re called Marketing Centres. It‘s progressâ€"â€"but it‘s the death for the oldâ€"style elevators, and death for the communities that flourished around them. So far, Don Wilcox and his demolition crew have felled nearly 1,000 wooden elevators across Saskatchewan. They expect to have the species fully exterminated in the next five or six years. A few will survive, preserved as tourist attractions, souvenir shops or funky little Chamber of Commerce offices. Maybe some entrepreneur will tart them up and sell some of them off as weekend retreats for Yuppy lawyers from Regina and Moose Jaw and Winnipeg. The poet A.M.Klein wrote a poem about a grain elevator once. Up... it rises blind and Babylonian like something out of legend. That‘s what our Prairie elevators have become alrightâ€"â€"something out of legend. I wonder if anyone will ever write a poem about the new Prairie Marketing Centres? (SAT.
