Battlefords Bright Spots
Winter notes ... By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
Happy New Year! Chinese New Year and the arrival of the Year Of The Horse was celebrated at the Gold Ridge Centre Sunday evening with a dinner of traditional Chinese food and a show by the Master Sammy Cheng Toronto Chinese Lion Dance group. The entertainment featured Kung Fu, Taiko drumming and, of course, the Lion Dance. Watch for the Jan. 30 issue of the Regional Optimist for more on the Chinese New Year celebration.

Thursday, Jan. 30, is the kickoff to this year’s Prairie Women on Snowmobiles awareness and fund raising tour, beginning in Prince Albert. While the tour doesn’t have a stop in the Battlefords, a local rider will be taking part. Sancia Diebel immigrated to Canada from England eight years ago and now enjoys her Canadian life on a farm near the Battlefords. Diebel is looking forward to meeting the other women, to make a difference working together to support a great cause, raising funds for research into breast cancer, meeting people in their communities, listening to their stories, and making new friends. If you want to contribute to Sancia’s efforts, visit the PWOS website and sign up. You can also help by contributing to a bottle drive with an ambitious goal of 90,000 cans. Just call 306-386-7152 to arrange pick up. PWOS is a non-profit organization whose annual tour, entitled Missions, are provincial awareness events designed to focus attention on breast cancer and the recreation of snowmobiling as well as raise money for breast cancer research. PWOS has contributed 100 per cent of the funds raised in the past 12 Missions to research, totalling more than $1.8 million to date. It’s also getting to be Mardi Gras time.
The Battlefords Trade and Education Centre has hit upon a winning formula with its annual Mardi Gras Magic Dinner, Dance and Silent Auction. It’s been a sold out hit in past years, so don’t wait to get your tickets. It takes place Saturday, Feb. 8 at the Alex Dillabough Centre in Battleford. Tickets are $40 per person and you can get them by calling around at the centre in Riverview or phoning them at 306-445-6141. It’s always a good time with great food and the proceeds go toward a new building. This community has talent galore. You can soak some of it up Sunday, Feb. 9 at the Dekker Centre at Keys & Chorales, a performance featuring the Kamala Youth Choir as well as piano duets by Bonnie Nicholson and Dianne Gryba, Les Quatre Mains. Gryba is well known in this community as co-director, along with JoAnne Kasper, of the Battlefords Children’s Choirs, including Kamala, and of the adult group, the Gallery Singers. But she is also an experienced piano performer. She and Bonnie Nicholson, a sessional lecturer at the U of S, piano teacher, accompanist and workshop clinician, have performed as a piano duo across the western provinces. Kasper says it is exciting to have them perform as a duo here in North Battleford. Kasper adds the Feb. 9 concert is a repeat of one they performed in Unity for the provincial registered music teachers convention. The curtain goes up at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20.

Changes coming in policing future
Call centre expected to ease staffing problems By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
During budget deliberations by North Battleford city council last week, councillors learned a move by RCMP to route all calls to a call centre in Regina should solve the chronic clerical staff shortages the detachment has experienced. “What isn’t new in this budget is that we continue to deal with staff shortages at the detachment,” said Susan Degenstein, director of human resources. That’s why last year’s number of $491,281 in wages and benefits for the non-police staff is $70,000 less than was budgeted, she said. “In the last five years we have only run one four-month span where we were at our full time staff complement.” That was about two and a half years ago. In August of 2013, three people quit in a two-week span, said Degenstein, leaving the department with only three full-time staff. “They have done exceptionally well using their casual staff and overtime just in order to staff and keep the response centre running,”
North Battlefords director of human resources, Susan Degenstein, and Fire Chief Albert Headrick shared information on potential policing changes with city council at a recent budget meeting. Photo by Jayne Foster said Degenstein. There are now four fulltime staff in place and two more in the queue who have met their security clearance. “Something has to change over there,” said Degenstein, “and I have had some very good dialogue with the inspector to see if we can change this up.” In an interesting turn of
events, said Degenstein, it came to light at a recent staff meeting that the RCMP are going to move toward a province-wide call centre to be located in Regina, which is already answering calls from North Battleford after office hours. It’s 12 to 18 months out, said Degenstein, but is expected to be more efficient
than the current system. Degenstein says it will mean the clerical staff at North Battleford detachment will be dedicated to true clerical work such as data entry, transcribing, serving member’s phone calls and providing counter service. They will no longer have to staff a response centre, which should make it easier to find
Turning light for north end signal By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
As a result of the City of North Battleford’s budget deliberations, the traffic lights at Territorial Drive and 100th Street will be getting another turn arrow, but there’s no indication when two other intersections needing upgrading might be done. City councillors asked for a turning light for Territorial Drive traffic turning north onto Highway 4 at the Sobeys/Co-op Mall corner. This was a downgrade from a $425,000 rebuild, which would see the posts aligned and better safety for pedestrians, but councillors were told by administration there
would be no funds from the provincial government’s urban connector program to help out. Dan Maloney of the works department said there is a camera in stock that can be installed, which scans the traffic and determines when the turning light should be used. The rest of the project would be a matter of pulling some wire in. Maloney said he could probably get it done for less than $60,000. Councillors are also concerned about safety at the intersection of the Highway 16 Bypass and Poundmaker Road, especially the location at the turn into the Humpty’s Restaurant and Petro-Canada station. Safety issues where Ter-

ritorial Drive intersects with Highway 4 South are also on councillor’s minds. They would like to see signals installed, and feel the provincial government should be involved with that project as well as the one on the bypass. They have pushed back both the projects, hoping for provincial assistance in the future. Future funding doesn’t look promising, and, as Councillor Don Buglas pointed out, if the City puts a shovel in the ground on anything that hasn’t received approval under the urban connector agreement, it forfeits the right to receive provincial funding on that project. Traffic signal installation
on Territorial Drive between the Sobeys lot and the Co-op Mall has also been pushed back as the traffic isn’t sufficient there yet to warrant asking for provincial assistance. Councillors plan to bring the shortage of urban connector funding up with ministry representatives at an upcoming convention of the Saskatchewan Urban Munipalities Association.
staff. There will probably be no need to have 24 hours shifts, either, she said, which is another difficulty in keeping staff. As for the RCMP staff costs, City office manager Gail Adams says costs will definitely be over budget for 2013. This last quarter included a bill for 2,600 hours overtime. This year’s budget for the RCMP contract is $3.9 million, which allows for 35 members at a five per cent increase in the contract with RCMP. This is something the City has no control over, noted Mayor Ian Hamilton. Fire Chief Albert Headrick addressed steps his department has taken toward improving public safety. He hopes for provincial support of a peace officer enhancement program in the government’s March budget, which could mean some capital

expenses could go ahead. The municipal enforcement program is not new to Headrick. It originated in Alberta, and he came to North Battleford in 2013 from Crownest Pass. Staff who used to be called bylaw officers have had new uniform and vehicle markings denoting municipal enforcement, have been engaging the community, patrolling school areas and have handed out significant fines in enforcing the City’s heavy truck bylaw, said Headrick. With provincial support, they could also do traffic control using radar, and a memorandum of understanding could be signed between the City and the RCMP for clarity and direction. He assured council members they would not be carrying weapons or tasers, but could carry pepper spray.

Tuning out erodes democratic power Dear Editor We have, along with most of the Western World, a system of government that we like to call “democratic.” What many of us often fail to realize is that a real democracy should be a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people,” as the revered American president Lincoln said so succinctly so many years ago. What that idea implies is that all citizens need to be somehow involved with what is going on in the hallowed halls of their own governments, and that governments should be run with the best interest of all the citizens in mind.. Unfortunately, we no longer live in sparsely populated, limited size, relatively homogeneous societies where we can all have a more or less direct role in what goes on in government. One exception may be Iceland, which happens to be one of the world’s most democratic societies. That makes the role of the media especially important as a way of providing citizens with information about what the issues are, who the actors on the national stage are and what is really going on. And that also makes the role of the average citizen especially important in keeping informed, and keeping an open mind about all that is happening in the political arena. It has been said voters get the government they deserve. That, unfortunately, may be true. But first, citizens should have a fair chance, through the media, to learn what the real situation may be regarding the issues facing the society. I am troubled by how many times I have heard people say that they are “turned off” by all politicians, and have quit paying attention to what is happening in the arena of government. If it’s true that all politicians are scum, then is the solution to merely quit voting, or perhaps worse yet just vote on the whim of the moment? The “by the people” part of democracy breaks down when that happens. Yes, democracy dies a little when that happens. Citizens should try to listen to more than one source of information and to use reason in trying to sort the wheat from the chaff. We still have the possibility to learn from media with different points of view, and we should try to do that, as well as we can. Then, when the time comes, we should all take on the responsibility to vote “for the people.” Russell Lahti Battleford

Commentary
Adding up the high cost of low food prices By Sylvain Charlebois The high cost of low prices for food stretches far beyond retail casualties in the food sector. Case in point: Leamington Ont., Canada’s self-proclaimed tomato capital, received news in November that Heinz will close its plant, laying off more than 700 employees and eliminating many regional farmers’ sole client. Ironically, while Canadians will likely have access to cheaper tomato-based products as a result of this closure, many are losing jobs in the agrifood sector. It will be the same for Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran lovers since the London-based Kellogg plant will also be shutting down next year. This is little doubt consumers have benefited greatly from the discounts on many food categories like dairy products, pasta, coffee and spices. The price of rice, yogurt, ice cream and peanut butter actually dropped last year, a first in more than two decades in some cases. Given the increasing scope and scale of aggressive pricing strategies in the food business, the situation will likely worsen before it gets better for food retailers, to the delight of Canadian consumers. In fact, several staple products have now become loss leaders for food vendors, normally a bad sign for industry. Loss leaders are usually inconveniently located in food stores to compel consumers to pass, and buy, items with higher profit margins. In an effort to retain market share, food retailers have no choice but to more frequently promote loss leaders. And the market landscape has changed. Target, a small player in the food space, entered Canada in early 2013 with
an aggressive goal to open 124 stores and increase its food offering in the future. Walmart, a powerful threat to established Canadian food retailers, proactively kept food prices competitively low in the midst of the impending expansion and continued to ensure its viability in the grocery market. Loblaw, Canada’s largest food retailer and private employer, is desperate to reach new urban markets where consumers can cope with higher price points. This is mainly why it bought Shoppers Drug Mart last year: to offset the Walmart menace. On the other hand, Sobeys had a very good year with its purchase of Safeway to tap into Canada’s lucrative Western market. The robust Western economy makes Ontario and Quebec look like proverbial poor cousins. Metro, which allegedly lost to Sobeys in the battle to acquire Safeway, is the one that may have the most to lose next year. Sales are dropping and it has already announced the conversion and closure of some Ontario-based stores. More market retraction is expected if it fails to scale up. Couple the highly-competitive nature of the food retailing landscape in Canada with a low-inflationary global economy would certainly appear to be welcome news for consumers, especially those affected when food prices skyrocketed from 2009 to 2011. At that time, the high cost of food created havoc in developing countries and hurt consumers struggling to get by financially. To stretch their dollars, consumers were forced to invest in highly nutritious food instead of just buying fuel to survive. Food was not as trivialized as before, and that was a good thing.

SaskEnergy CEO shares North Battleford roots By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
The president and chief executive officer of SaskEnergy, Doug Kelln, was a guest at the Rotary Club of the Battlefords Monday, sharing insight on some of the things that are happening with the crown corporation with Rotary members and guests. “This is a little bit like coming home, after 31 years with the company,” said Kelln. When he graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1982 with a degree in civil engineering, it was time for him to decide what he wanted to do, he said. “I had opportunities to go to Alberta, and a number of my colleagues did. But
I wanted to stay in Saskatchewan. “I ended up with SaskPower in the gas division.” His first boss, who had been in construction for 30 years, told him he could get an apartment in Regina, because that’s where he would be getting his mail, but for the first two years, he would be on the road. “You’re going to North Battleford country,” his boss told him. “So I ended up bringing the natural gas to Meota, Edam, Spruce Lake, Vawn, St. Walburg, Marsden and Neilburg. It was a tremendous learning experience for me. I got to know a lot of good people, and at the same time I got to learn a lot,” said Kelln. “Since then I’ve been through North Battleford

many, many times with different projects,” said Kelln, “I’ve ended up at the Gold Eagle [Lodge] a number of nights a year and I’ve stared at this beautiful complex. It’s great to be inside and you should be so proud.” Kelln was referring to the CUplex. The luncheon took place in the Northland Power Curling Centre. In addition to giving the group gathered for lunch an overview of SaskEnergy’s operation, he also touched on Saskatchewan’s favourite subject of conversation – weather. “It’s been an interesting November and December,” Kelln told Rotary members. “In gas terms we usually design for a ‘one in 20 years,’ so once every 20 years it gets that cold. At the end of December we were ‘one in
50 years.’” Kelln, who lives in Regina, became the president and CEO of SaskEnergy on Nov. 25, 2004 after having taken on increasing responsibilities in the areas of engineering, construction, planning, customer services, distribution operations, marketing and business development. He transferred from SaskPower to SaskEnergy/TransGas when the companies were formed in 1988. From 1988 to 1997 he held various positions at TransGas, including vice-president. From 1997 to his appointment as CEO, he served vice-president, Distribution Utility for SaskEnergy. He has also acted as executive sponsor of SaskEnergy’s Aboriginal Policy Co-ordinating Group since 1996.

By Hannah Patterson Andrew Albers visited John Paul II Collegiate Jan. 21, the place he can always call home. After students gathered in the gym, Albers began telling them about his desire to play ball since the age of six and what a unique journey his dream has taken him on. He talked of times he was so fortunate to have and times
that he experienced some severe lows. Throughout those times many lessons were learned to bring him to where he is standing today. After leaving home for college in Kentucky. Albers came to the realization that he was on his own. Education was a major goal of his and he knew he needed to go to school instead of straight into pro ball. He told the students how important it is to trust
in the values and morals you have and be true to yourself. He said he had many highs and lows and he learned that you really have to grind through the lows and take the highs as they come. Interestingly, the times that didn’t go the way he had liked were the times when he found out most about himself, Albers said. Fighting through the adversity has taken Albers a
Two‐vehicle crash Saturday Staff Emergency crews responded to two vehicle incidents in the city Saturday. The first was a motor vehicle accident at around 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of Territorial Drive and High-
way 16. There were no injuries. The second incident happened around 3 p.m. when crews responded to a passenger vehicle fire at the 700 block of 101st Street. North Battleford Fire Department sent one apparatus and three firefighters and
were on scene for over 40 minutes. The fire department is reporting that there was major damage to the interior of the vehicle. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, although RCMP report a cigarette is believed to be the cause.
The high cost of low food prices Continued from Page 4 But now, the situation has completely changed as the food industry struggles to achieve growth. Analysts expect food prices to increase by no more than 0.5 per cent next year. And looking at the macroeconomic fundamentals, it can be argued that these predictions will be accurate by
year’s end next year. To reflect the true cost of distribution, food inflation’s sweet spot would be anywhere between 1.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent right now. Such a threshold would flush the industry with more resources to innovate while building a case for consumers that food is not inconsequential.
As we embark upon another year of low food price inflation, let’s hope consumers don’t forget how important food is to all of us. — Charlebois is associate dean at the College of Management and Economics at the University of Guelph in Ontario. www.troymedia.com

as the Tommy John surgery that he experienced left him in rehab unable to bend his arm, but he preserved and worked through it. Soon after his surgery he was cut from the San Diego Padres and yet faced another low, but Quebec gave him an opportunity to find the joy he has for the mound once again; after all, you have to find joy in what you do, he said.
Many rejections came Albers’ way, but he would not let go of the joy he had. Albers continued to stress to the students of JPII that what you want doesn’t happen right away. Without hard work and perseverance even through the toughest times you can find a way to make what you love work for you, so keep faith, he said.

Belyk only undefeated team left at New Horizons after three rounds
by Gerry Bristow After three rounds in the spring draw for the New Horizons, there remains only one undefeated team. That is Doug Belyk, curling with Hank Nickel, Pat Tillmans and Jim Taylor. On sheet one, it was Dick Horrell who started the game off with a single in the first end. But Belyk bounced back
with three. Horrell scored another and then Belyk had a raised takeout that set up a five ender in the fourth. Ones would not do it and Belyk won for the third time. Ed Kjargaard said two losses in a row was too much to take. Kjargaard started off by scoring three on the first end over Doc Hall, then
another before taking three again. He did not stop there and took two more. Revenge is sweet! Over on sheet three, there was a close battle between Bob Krismer and Bryan Peever. It was 4-3 for the Peever group after six and then tied after seven. Three in the last end clinched it for Peever. Rod Forester blanked the first, took two in the second and three in the third before allowing one to the Gorden Munn group. Munn continued with one more in the next two ends, gave up one and then ended it with one more. It was not enough to better Rod. They changed ends for
Pernitsky leads AAA Stars to win
By Brett Smith Sports Reporter
Alex Pernitsky scored twice and added an assist to lead the Battlefords AAA Stars to a win over the Mintos in Prince Albert Thursday night in SMAAAHL action. The Stars have now won eight straight games. There was no scoring in the first period. It was an even period as the Mintos edged the Stars in shots by a
9-8 margin. The Stars opened the scoring in the game with 6:09 left in the second period. Kaleb Dahlgren’s ninth goal of the season broke the deadlock with assists from Pernitsky and Brandon Lesko. Prince Albert tied the game shortly after. With Layne Young in the penalty box for hooking, Jared Blaquiere beat Battlefords goaltender Rylan Toth on the power play with 2:54 left in the second. It was
hist fifth goal of the year. Battlefords regained their lead before the end of the second. Mintos player Braxx George took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with 2:25 to play in the period. A minute into the power play, Pernitsky scored his first goal of the game and sixth of the season. In the third, Pernitsky extended the Stars’ lead to two with another power play goal. His seventh of the season came 6:51 into the period. With 9:08 left, Josh LaFramboise continued his hot streak. He put the game out of reach with his 26th goal of the season. LaFramboise has scored in seven straight games. Toth made 24 saves to earn his ninth win of the season. Connor Ingram took the loss for the Mintos after stopping 28 of the 32 shots he faced. The Stars have not lost a game in 2014. Battlefords (24-6-4-1) next game is Wednesday night against the Saskatoon Blazers. Game time is 7 p.m. at the Civic Centre.
the first four, but Al Rogers was two up on Alexander Scott. Rogers added two more before Scott came back and counted four and tied the
game coming home. With the last rock, Rogers counted for his second straight win. It looked like Eugene Korpach was on his way for
a win over Peter Pauls, but then Pauls scored a big four in fourth, added a two and then a three. It is just not a good year for Eugene. 13015BS00

At 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy to serve his country in World War II. While on leave he met his wife, Ruth. They married, first living in Eatonia Saskatchewan and then North Battleford. It was there that he built Hunters Sport Shop and Hunters Trailer and Marine into a business that grew to international attention for its size and scope given its small town roots. Harry was a man of generosity, pride and honor. He loved his family, his business, his employees, his customers and North Battleford. May his memory be a blessing. ____________________________________________________ LACOURSIERE: Robert Lacoursiere, June 27, 1935- December 20, 2013.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Angele Marin, who passed away peacefully at The Battlefords Union Hospital. on January 1st, 2014, at the age of 77. Angele was born on May 15, 1936 in Cold Lake, AB to Omer and Bernadette Compagna, along with 7 siblings. Angele met the love of her life, best friend and soul mate, Louis Marin and they married in Leoville on October 29, 1960. Angele and Louis had a remarkable loving marriage and were blessed to celebrate 53 amazing years together. They were inseparable and leaned on each other in times of joy and sorrow through life’s journeys. They worked hand in hand farming, beekeeping and becoming foster parents. The family they always dreamt of having became complete in 1976 after having 5 girls and one boy, Sandra, Colette, Claudette, Suzanne, Roxanne and Vince.

Angele was also often heard saying, “Drop in anytime you’re always welcome.” Angele was an exceptional cook and loved to have company. If company arrived unexpectedly she was fond of saying, “We can always add more water to the soup,” there was always plenty for everyone. Many fond memories will be remembered of the jam sessions with friends and family and all their instruments. Angele loved to sing and knew many songs by heart. It was a true passion and her favorite past-time. Family, friends and home were her life, she was a true homemaker. Angele again, was known to say, “Home is where the heart is.” Angele had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. Her faith in God was strong and she believed in his guidance. Angele meant so much to everyone because she was someone you could laugh with, work alongside, and could confide in, everyone knew their secret was safe with her.

OBITUARIES BARKER: In Loving Memory of Wilson Fiendel Barker, May 31, 1925 - January 6, 2014, Celebration of Wilson’s life was Friday January 10, 2014 2:00 pm at Wilkie United Church, Wilkie Saskatchewan. Officiate was Rev. Linda Emberley with organist Laurie Pernitsky and the eulogy was read by Tonya Barker. Honorary Casket Bearers were all those who shared in Wilson’s life with active casket bearers Jack Hochbaum, Allan Love, Rob Labrecque, Dennis Houk, Bob Latimer, and Brian Hawkins with honor guard Kinsmen/K40. Reception was held at the Wilkie United Church lower hall served by United Church Woman. Tributes can be made to the Wilkie Poplar Courts Activities Fund or Heart & Stroke Foundation. Interment was at the Wilkie Cemetery Wilkie, Saskatchewan. Lovingly remembered by wife Jean and children: Doug Barker; Shirley (Gordon) Froehlich and family Eve Froehlich (Luke) Bernas, Ben (Ashley) Froehlich; Bruce (Lois Sapsford) Barker; Scott (Tonya) Barker and family - Jacob Barker, Parker Ackerman, Riley Ackerman and several nieces and nephews. Wilson is predeceased by his parents Jacob and Adelaide Barker and sister Marion (Karl) Weinberger. Wilson was born in 1925. He grew up on the farm in the Narrow Lake District and went to Narrow Lake School until the age of 15. He lived in a time where he walked a mile and a half to school or took a horse and buggy. As a kid he loved playing softball. He swam in friends & neighbours dugouts, rode horseback and snared gophers. He & his older sister Marion raised calves with the Thackeray Beef Club and went to card parties and dances. In winter they played Fox & Goose and went skating and the whole family listened to the radio in the evenings. They got their first radio in 1939. He started farming with his Dad in 1947 at the age of 22 and took over the farm himself at 24 when his father passed away. He was a grain farmer and also raised cattle for many years. In the 1940’s he and his dad plowed the fields with six horses and a two furrow plow, which is a long ways from the farming equipment used today. One of his winter jobs was hauling wood with the horses from many miles away. It could be a pleasant trip as spring approached with nice weather but was not much fun when it was very cold. Wilson worked as a lineman for the Narrow Lake Telephone Company for a few years and was on the Wilkie United Church Board of Stewards for many years. He and his neighbours formed the Narrow Lake Snowplow Club in 1960 to keep the roads open. He belonged to the Wilkie Kinsmen and later the K40’s. He continued to improve the farm and planted a shelterbelt of many trees to cut the relentless prairie winds. The new teacher at Fairyland School, Jean Martin from Phippen, caught his eye and in 1952 they were married in this church. As a young couple with a growing family they enjoyed square dancing with friends and camping and barbequing at the lake on weekends in July. Wilson was a morning person. He always wanted to go for a “before breakfast swim� at the lake. Visiting his sister Marion Weinberger & family in Edmonton was a frequent activity as well as touring and camping in the amazing and scenic Rocky Mountains. The first TV was purchased in 1959 and in the 1960’s Don Messer and his Islanders and the Tommy Hunter Show were his favorite shows on Friday nights. He had a camera and liked to take pictures of the family, the farm and on holiday travels. His first big holiday was a farm tour to Australia & New Zealand when the price of canola hit $9.00/bushel. When Scott was in school, the three of them learned to Cross Country Ski together. This led to trips to Jasper, Alberta to ski in the mountains. Then when Scott grew older & took up downhill skiing, Wilson & Jean learned to downhill ski too. He loved to travel, so once he sold his cattle, he & Jean spent many winter holidays exploring Mexico, Jamaica, Hawaii and other tropical places. In later years they had the wonderful opportunity to visit the homeland of his & Jean’s ancestors in Ireland, England & Scotland. He had always wanted to visit Europe and they were able to do that in 2001. Wilson loved the rural life and spent his entire life on the farm until 2009, when he & Jean moved to Wilkie. He spent his final few years in the Poplar Courts Home in Wilkie. He was honored to have his most recent grandson named after his father, Jacob Wilson Barker. Kirby Sarvas, Bob Clothier, Graydon Olsen, Ted Grondin and Shannon Ehry, assisted by Allen Irwin of Grondin Funeral Services Ltd. in Unity, entrusted with arrangements 306-228-4480. Our family serving your family since 1963.

Your support was greatly appreciated. Donations to Poplar Courts Activity Fund and the Heart & Stroke Foundation were gratefully received. We would like to express our gratitude to Minister Linda Emberley, the Pallbearers, the United Church ladies for lunch, Organist Laurie Pernitsky and the Honour Guard of the K-40’s.

Surgery capacity boosted Staff Surgical teams across the province continue to work toward the goal of improving surgical care and reducing patient wait times to less than three months from the time surgery is planned, according to a government press release. Statistics to the end of November show about 79 per cent of patients are receiving a procedure within three months. There are 4,796 patients waiting more than three months for surgery – 10,555 fewer than when the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative began in March 2010. The province’s largest health regions – Saskatoon and Regina Qu’Appelle – have both faced challenges meeting surgical demand, the press release states. The Saskatoon Health Region has implemented a mitigation plan to overcome increased demand for about 700 more surgeries this year; however, even with the increased effort, it will take until late 2014 to meet the target of providing all surgeries within three months.

When things are certain and when they’re not Recently I talked with a senior citizen, asking her how she was doing. “I feel really good today, she said. Of course, my father once had a horse that was in the pink of condition, and the next day it fell down dead!” Likely my friend was joking. But it did remind me of the many things in life that are uncertain or doubtful. For many things we have no real guarantees. Yes, it’s necessary to make some plans for future events and circumstances, whether we are looking forward to a picnic on the weekend, or preparing for our years of retirement in the more distant future. But we mustn’t treat our plans as if they were absolute certainties. The Apostle James warns against that. “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit;’ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow.” (Jas. 4:13-14) The Lord Jesus told a parable about an arrogant farmer whose growing wealth gave him a false sense of security. Things were going well, and he thought he could see a golden future ahead. One day he said to himself, “You have many goods laid up for
Promise. This is something “we know,” on the basis of God’s faithful Word. There is no “I think so ... maybe” here. John W. Peterson (19212006) was likely the preeminent hymn writer of the latter half of the 20th century. Peterson either composed the music, or wrote words and
Robert Cottrill, B.A., B.R.E. http://wordwisehymns.com/ www.Wordwise Bible Studies.com many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” But it was not to be. “God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you.’” (Lk. 12:19-20) And there is the key, that Almighty God is on His throne, and He rules over all things, including what will come tomorrow (Ps. 24:1). In recognition of this, James counsels us, “Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.’” (Jas. 4:15) The sovereignty of God calls for us to make our plans tentatively and provisionally, to plan well and wisely, but not to assume we can unfailingly prophesy future events. But there is another side to this. The fact God is in control, and He knows the future, can give assurance where our own limited foresight cannot. The Bible says, “We know that all things
work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Rom. 8:28) And there are three important parts to that verse. Taking them in reverse order, they tell us: 1) The Subjects of the Promise. It is for those who love God, and are ones He has called into a personal relationship with Himself. In short, they are Christians, those who’ve become the children of God through faith in Christ. (Jn. 1:12-13) 2) The Substance of the Promise. It’s God’s pledge to us that He will take everything that happens to us, everything that touches our lives, and turn it to His good purpose and our blessing. Nothing is outside the sphere of this. It includes the difficult and painful things as well as pleasant ones. 3) The Certainty of the
music, for well over 1,000 sacred songs. In addition, he wrote 35 cantatas and musicals. Approximately 10 million copies of these have been published and sold. He was admitted to the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1986. In 1961 Peterson published a hymn based on Ro-
mans 8:28. It says, “All things work out for good, we know – / Such is God’s great design; / He orders all our steps below / For purposes divine.” Because of this, the believer can say, “So now the future holds no fear, / God guards the work begun; / And mortals are immortal here / Until their work is done.”
Time to retreat and reflect This week I packed my suitcase, stocked a small cooler with food, gathered up my laptop along with a pile of printed notes and then I left. After months of waffling I’d finally made the decision to head out of town. My departure was preceded by an early morning of preparing meals for Hubby then chairing a committee meeting. After enjoying lunch and fellowship with a dear friend I steered the car south of town. I just knew that this writing retreat was going to be something special. It was. Forty minutes later I checked into a cosy cabin a stone’s throw from the ocean and launched a new pattern of write/sleep, sleep/
write. Occasionally I popped over for tea with the friends who’d welcomed me to their wee corner of paradise. One incident in particular will remain in my memory for a long time. A conversation with our friends’ children involved their telling me how old they were and the dates of their birthdays. One was five, one was three, another was 11 and still another was 17. I already knew the ages of the
other three. Finally one of them turned to me and asked, “How old are you?” “I’m seventy,” I replied. Her eyes grew wide with what I assume was astonishment. After moments of silence she responded: “Oh, I thought you were over one hundred!” I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. I’m not the least bit upset at my three score years and 10, wasn’t even fazed at the thought of being a centenarian. It was the reminder that there are many more years behind me than ahead so I’d better be sure I make them count. “One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: … to behold the beauty of the Lord.” (Psalm 27:4 )
