The City of North Battleford has had its share of water worries recently, starting with a week-long boil water advisory running from Aug. 11 to Aug. 18. Less than a week after the Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory was lifted, a major water main break involving an 18-inch transmission line that feeds the distribution system from the F.E.

Rider Pride Still Alive in Battlefords It’s been a rough season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in more ways than one. Not only are they off to an 0-8 start, but the two Riders players scheduled to be at the Territorial Place Mall for an autograph session Sunday – Terrell Maze and Macho Harris – were delayed by a couple of hours. Still, it didn’t stop the loyal members of Rider Nation in the Battlefords from showing up and waiting in line to meet their heroes. Also there were several local personalities taking part in a watermelon helmet carving contest. Seen here are Glen Gantefoer, Discovery Co-op human resources manager, Mayor Derek Mahon of Battleford, North Battleford City Manager Jim Puffalt, and Erin Katerynych of Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre.

Expanded Gold Eagle Casino cuts the ribbon By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Visitors to the Gold Eagle Casino will be seeing a bigger and better facility in North Battleford. Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority cut the ribbon at the grand open-
ing Friday morning for the 5,000 square foot expansion and renovation of the casino. The expansion to the existing 34,000 square feet building accommodates a new closed-off smoking section of the gaming floor. The section includes its own entrance, and features an im-
proved and upgraded HVAC system in which air comes through a raised roof. The rest of the facility will be completely smoke-free. The ventilation at the facility has been a concern for years. Gold Eagle Casino has been notorious for a generally smoky atmosphere
The ribbon is cut for the newly expanded Gold Eagle Casino on Friday, Aug. 21. On hand for the ribbon cutting was Lori Whitecalf, Reginald Bellerose, Chief Danny Starchief, Zane Hansen, WWII veteran Henry Beaudry, AFN chief Perry Bellegarde, Vice-chief Heather Bear and general manager Kelly Atcheynum.

inside the gaming floor. “We did get feedback where air quality was a concern, and it was for us as well,” said Zane Hansen, president of SIGA. The casino has also been regularly packed with customers, which meant that the gaming floor was also notorious for a cramped and crowded atmosphere as well. The additional space will help address those issues. There will also be increased gaming options with some 50 slot machines being added to the gaming floor. A three-day celebration was planned for Aug. 25 to 27 in which the casino would be offering food and entertainment and chances to win prizes as well as hosting the SIGA hot air balloon. There has been talk for years about what to do with the existing Gold Eagle Casino building due to the ventilation and space issues. There was talk of a completely new building, but in the end the decision was made to expand and renovate the existing facility that has been in use since 1996. When the building permit was issued in 2014 the value of the expansion was pegged at $4.8 million. The project is mostly complete though there is still some work needed to finish the exterior siding. “It’s a great step forward for the Gold Eagle,” said Hansen. “The North Battleford marketplace, the Battlefords, has been so good for us. The employees have been fantastic and have really built up a great enterprise here.” The renovation also allows the Gold Eagle to stay competitive in the Saskatch-
ewan marketplace with the other casino and entertainment options. “The casino was always doing very well,” said Hansen. “This was an investment to make it that much better and to supply the market to the best of our abilities.” Over 320 full- and parttime employees are employed by the casino, which is a major employer of First Nations people in the region. The opening ceremonies were attended by several First Nations officials including Chief Danny Starchief of Mosquito,

Alleged would-be shoplifters had staff take their picture Staff
Two suspects have been arrested following an overnight robbery attempt in North Battleford. According to Battlefords RCMP in a release Wednesday, two individuals – one a 16-year-old male youth and the other a 18-year old male – faced charges after a report of an attempted theft at a business at the 1700 block of 100th Street shortly after 5 a.m. on Aug 25 in North Battleford. It has been confirmed the business was 7-Eleven. According to police, two individuals entered and attempted to flee with a small amount of items from the business without paying. Police report the suspects were intercepted by an employee who was able to recover the property, but the subjects were able to physically force their way out of the business and flee. The employee did suffer minor injuries during the incident. Some additional details are known about the incident. According to a news
tip to the Regional Optimist, prior to the robbery the suspects had apparently asked the employee to take their picture with her cellphone so they could tell their friends where they were, and those were later provided to police to identify the suspects. RCMP report the accused were located a short distance away approximately half an hour after the incident, and arrested. The 18 year old male is facing one count of rob-
bery, while the 16 year old faces counts of robbery and assaulting a police officer. The two were in North Battleford Provincial Court on Wednesday morning and were remanded to a scheduled show cause hearing on Thursday. This is not the only robbery to be reported in the Northwest this week. Four adults were also in provincial court on Wednesday facing charges of robbery at the Meota Hotel, stemming
from Aug. 24. They are also charged with having their faces covered during the incident. They were scheduled to appear in court again the following day, Thursday.

Road repairs badly needed Dear Editor Where does one start? Here goes: last week, my daughter and I were visiting in the Battlefords and a few issues arose that I just could not let go without making a comment. Firstly, the access road to the Frontier Mall. What a disgrace, to say the least. That roadway has not been touched for at least eight to 10 years. It’s very narrow and full of potholes. Then when you round the corner, you come upon a semitractor trailer parked by the road, the driver presumably getting coffee at the coffee shop. There has got to be some funds in the yearly budget set aside for a road upgrade to the mall, Canadian Tire, the casino and hotel. Not very inviting for people visiting North Battleford. Now, Town of Battleford, you are not off the hook either! The road to the Battlefords District Care Centre is another disgrace and that hasn’t changed in many, many years. I cannot imagine driving out there to work or to visit a loved one every day and having to dodge the potholes. I’m sure an upgrade here is not out of line. Can’t imagine the repair costs on all the vehicles. Come on, council members, show some initiative and a plan of action to repair or replace these roadways. Thank you for the space to voice my opinions. Myrna J. Coates Cochrane, Alta.
Vic’s View unappreciated Dear Editor I see that Vic Hult is doing some electioneering in his last opinion column (Aug. 19 Regional Optimist). He appears to be campaigning for the Conservatives again but he is getting rather loose with his “facts.” Vic says that the NDP plan to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr “all over Canada.” This is not true. This policy only applies to those in federally regulated industries and will affect only about 100,000 people. Regular minimum wage is still for the provinces to set. I must also argue that a decent minimum wage is not a “job killer philosophy” as Vic writes. Stats from Quebec, Ontario, and the three western provinces from the last 10 years show that whenever the minimum wage was raised the unemployment rate went down or stayed the same (except for 2009, the year after the global crash). Good wages evidently bolster a good economy. The federal NDP also does not want to stop pipelines and oil sands as Vic reports. They do want to stop throwing a billion dollars a year of taxpayers money at “big oil” but oil production and oil movement will continue. It is thought by many in the NDP that oil pipelines should lead to Canadian, not foreign, refineries. This runs opposite to what appears to be the Conservative “strip-and-ship” resource plan.

Green Party wants ‘Real Change’ Dear Editor The Saskatchewan Green Party endorses the Advisory Group on Poverty Reduction’s call for a Basic Income program to help cut poverty rates in half in our province by 2020. Our party’s 2016 election platform calls for a Basic Income program for all Saskatchewan residents. Party Leader Victor Lau says the Advisory Group is suggesting Real Change for all Saskatchewan people. Saskatchewan is long overdue for a Basic Income program, which would not only raise the standard of living of everyone in the province, but also reduce some costs to government services. Now we would like to see a Basic Income model put for-

War-free Europe - succumbing to the wave I’m sure people of Europe watched their TV news in shock in late August as a wave of immigrants literally crashed through the border between Greece and Macedonia, ignoring border guards who were reluctant to shoot, their impotence plain for all to see. Further north, Hungary began reinforcing its border with razor wire. One wonders if guards will be issued orders to shoot to kill, as well. Europe is being overwhelmed by a wave of humanity. What do you call them? Illegal immigrants? Economic migrants? Refugees? Criminals? Human smugglers? In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and for the next 500 years, Europe has been exporting people. At first in small numbers, to Jamestown and Quebec, then by the thousands, then tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. Any reason was acceptable to leave crowded, hungry, disease-filled, war-ravaged, religiously oppressed Europe. Catholic under Protestant rule? Get out. Protestant under

But large portions of the world were used as dumping grounds for undesirables. Harsh legal codes in England could land you on a ship to America for stealing a loaf of bread in London (hanging was a favourite alternative). When enough of those malcontents held a revolution, the English started to fill Australia, on the exact opposite side of the planet, with convicts instead. By the 20th century, Europe had conquered most of the world through various colonial empires. Literally the sun did not set on the

British Empire, at least until the de-colonization period from the 1940s (India) to the mid-1960s (most of Africa). European descendants took over and utterly dominated three other complete continents – North America, South America and Australia – brushing their indigenous peoples to the side like dust from the floor. Now, after half a millennium of people leaving Europe, the tide has turned. Instead of being the place to get out of, it is seen as a safe haven, with economic opportunity, plentiful food, freedom of religion, generous social programs, top-level health care, and a lack of war. This year represents the 70th year since the last major war in Europe. Rising from the ashes of the worst conflict in history, the Europeans spent
In loving memory of
decades creating a society where their common market would unite, not just for economic purposes, but for peaceful purposes. France and Germany were at the heart of both the First and Second World Wars, but also the War of 1870 and the Napoleonic wars. Now they are so economically joined at the hip, the prospect of hostilities between them seems ludicrous. Those architects of the European Union probably didn’t realize the net outcome of their peaceful intentions. By ridding the continent of war through peaceful trade and unguarded internal borders, it would lead to a 21st century full of people desperate to come to it. Now the people of Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya
are boarding anything that floats, from smuggler’s ships off Libyan shores to rubber dinghies, to make the transit from Turkey to Greek islands. The “soft underbelly” of Europe is impossible to defend, since no one has the guts anymore to shoot these desperate people or torpedo the smugglers’ boats, something that, 100, 200 years ago, was much more likely to happen. Compassion instead of cold, hard-hearted ideology has taken over. Drowning women and children are rescued, not recovered. And so the tide continues to build. There are only a few ways to stop this tide. One, fortify the border, which essentially means sinking anything crossing the Mediterranean to Europe full
of migrants. Two, stop all wars in the Middle East and Africa. Three, bring the rest of the world to the peaceful and prosperous standards of Europe. The first option is horrible and untenable. The second is impossible, and the third might take 100 years, maybe 500. It would involve resolving little issues like the schism between Sunni and Shia flavours of Islam. It might also involve sorting out the conflicts between Christianity and Islam. That didn’t work out so well during the crusades, did it? Europe is about to get a lot more crowded.

Central Park to be closed for maintenance of trees Staff The City of North Battleford has announced that Central Park will be closed next week for tree maintenance. The estimated end date is subject to change due to weather conditions, however
it is expected the park will be closed to the public from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31st to Friday, Sept. 4. Six City Operations staff members will be removing dead wood and hanging branches, which are potential safety hazards. Pruning improves the long term
health and stability of the trees by removing weak spots, increasing air circulation and sunlight exposure. “This park is a wonderful green space.” explained Tim Yeaman. “It is important to maintain it so that it can be safely enjoyed by everyone.”

Forever in Our Hearts
A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would have never died, In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, which can never be filled. Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us, As always were before. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your precious memories are for keepsakes, With which we never part, God has you safely in his keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts.

Discovery Co-op officially arrives in Battleford By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Discovery Co-op has cut the ribbon on its latest location – a convenience store, gas bar and car wash in the town of Battleford. The $6.3 million project was completed this summer and the grand opening was Thursday morning. The festivities included the cutting of a celebration cake and a barbeque put on by the Fred Light Museum, with proceeds going to the museum. The opening was a historic one for Discovery Coop, whose operations span more than 80 years. It’s somewhat hard to believe that the Co-op has had no retail presence in the town of Battleford – until now. “I know that it’s been something talked about at the board table for some time,” said Mike Nord, general manager of Discovery Co-op. “We wanted to make sure, too, that we came in the right way.” Board president Randy Graham noted the planning that was involved. “There’s a lot of careful planning, particularly with major capital projects. This project itself is $6.3 million dollars, so it does take a lot of planning, making sure from a financial sense that we’re spending and allocating our members’ money in the right manner to the right projects and in the right location.” Graham was happy to see

the town finally represented with a Discovery Co-op location. “I have to agree, it’s about time we had representation in a service facility here,” said Graham. The development is part of a number of changes at Discovery Co-op which includes the new name adopted earlier this year as well as expansion at Territorial

Place Mall, with construction ongoing at that location. A new gas bar for the Coop in the Battlefords seems an obvious choice. Long lineups have been typical at the Co-op’s gas bar outlet at Territorial Place Mall. To meet the demand of their members, Discovery Co-op recently opened a second gas bar and convenience store location on Carlton Trail near Walmart. Now, the Co-op has its gas bar location at Battleford Towne Square, part of the Battleford West development adjacent to highway 4. “This site is going to be one to rival any site anywhere,” said Nord. The buildings are a replica of the Carlton Trail location, but
Nord said the land is different – it’s “a lot bigger site,” he said. The retail operation is adjacent to the still-new Tim Hortons location, and is within a short distance of a residential area that is still under development, with 14 new homes and 37 new con-
dominiums to go up there in the coming months. A new seniors apartment complex from BridgeRoad Developments is nearing completion across the street, and is expected to welcome its first tenants later this year. “I think it shows for the
community of the Battlefords just how much the area is growing and how well it’s doing,” said Nord. “I think that speaks not just to the Discovery Co-op, but it speaks to all the businesses here around, making sure that the community continues to grow.”
Staples store undertakes annual school supply drive Staff Staples Canada is banding together with customers and local charities for the 10th annual Staples for Students School Supply Drive. “On Saturday, Aug. 29, we are having a fill the bus campaign,” says a release issued by Staples North Battleford. “During this event
there will be a school bus on location to help bring awareness to our School Drive. As well, we will have a bake sale with all proceeds going to our Staples For Students program. Anyone who makes a donation on Saturday will be entered to win an Ipod nano.” Customers can make donations July 17 to Sept. 13.

Staples Canada’s goal this year is to raise $1.7 million, which will bring its rolling total to $10 million in 10 years. Staples for Students is one of Staples Canada’s key charitable programs and is a Staples tradition. Visit staples.ca/supplydrive to learn more.

Lawn Bowling Extraordinaire! These bowls were in need of measurement, but obviously a regulation tape measure would not do it. It appears that all three were equidistant (or equally close) to the white jack. The bowls were blocked to prevent movement then different thicknesses of paper were used until finally a thin writing paper slid between the bowls and the jack. It was determined that the black bowl hurled by Grant McLean was the nearest. Mel Walker’s red bowl was next and the brown, Alice Soiseth’s, was third. Since Mel and Grant were on the same team, they scored two points for their team. Alice was somewhat disappointed. Marie Bruynooghe, a member for over 25 years, commented that she had never seen such an end. No one else had either. Photos submitted by Lorna McLean
Lawn bowlers take part in tournaments
Vernon Iverson, Men’s Singles winner, and Margaret Fedun, Ladies Singles winner.
Submitted Local tournaments were played this summer on the lawn bowling greens in North Battleford. Margaret Fedun emerged as the winner of the Ladies’ Singles defeating three women then playing Lorna McLean twice to vanquish her to second place. Jean Seib took third place. Vernon Iverson had an easier journey to secure Men’s Singles’ first place since there were fewer opponents to overcome. Mel Walker took second place, with Lloyd How in third. The Triples tournament involved more players so took longer to complete. Yvonne Macpherson, Margaret Fedun and Mel Walker, the winning team, triumphed over the team of Rita Peterson, Marie Bruynooghe and Lloyd How. Coming in third was the team of Eleanor Leverton, Lorna McLean and Vernon Iverson.
Margaret Fedun, right, Yvonne Macpherson, left, and Mel Walker, sitting, are the Triples tournament winners.

Innovation Credit Union has announced a $2,500 sponsorship of the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club that will go towards providing children with an extra meal per week. The Innovation Grub Club will take place every Wednesday evening from Sept. 2 to Dec. 16 (excluding Remembrance Day) at the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club facility. With the addition of Wednesdays, the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club will now be able to provide meals three days a week to children. “I am beyond excited and proud to offer the children and youth in our community an additional meal per week by extending our existing Supper Program,” expresses Battlefords Boys and Girls Club Executive Director Nicole Combres. “Thanks to the support and sponsorship of Innovation Credit Union, we are now able to provide our children three nutritious meals each week. We couldn’t have done it without their help! This has also allowed us to adjust our main site club hours and remain accessible to our community consecutively till 9 p.m. each evening Monday
through Friday. I sincerely appreciate the support already given and look forward to our continual partnership.” “This sponsorship means a great deal to us,” says Innovation CEO Dan Johnson. “The Battlefords Boys and Girls Club does such a tremendous job nurtur-
By Evelyn Gardiner We had a large number of artists present, perhaps because our days are getting cooler. Discussed at our meeting was having our artist show and sale in conjunction with the Marigold show Oct. 23. The artist show will be held downstairs in the Don Ross Centre arts and crafts room. The Chapel Gallery members should remember to phone the gallery to let them know soon if you want to participate in this Windows Salon showing. Works of art have to be submitted by Sept. 25-28. Paul Constable will be giving an art workshop in November. Look for a future date. Next week the new executive will be in place.

Ultimate fighting championship comes to Sask By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Fans of mixed martial arts in Saskatchewan were out in full force at the UFC Fight Night 74 in Saskatoon this weekend. The fight card, broadcast on Fox Sport 1 and TSN and shown around the world, culminated a weekend full of activities and autograph sessions. The main event between featherweights Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira proved to be a downer for fans, however. Just a minute and a
half into the first round, Oliveira collapsed to the canvas in the Octagon and was unable to continue. Holloway immediately started celebrating; meanwhile, Oliveira was surrounded by medical personnel for several minutes before finally being carried out of the Octagon on a stretcher. It’s been reported that he suffered a torn esophagus. In his post-fight interview Holloway urged the fans to send their prayers to Oliveira, adding this was part of the sport. The co-main event was
won by Neil Magny over Erick Silva in a split decision. Magny was a lastminute replacement for Rick Story who bowed out due to injury. Other memorable results saw Canadian Patrick Cote stop Josh Burkman in the third round of their match; lightweight Francisco Trinaldo of Brazil finished off unbeaten Canadian Chad Laprise in the first round; and Canadian Valerie Letourneau beat Maryna Moroz in a unanimous decision in the women’s strawweight division.
One of the more unusual moments came when lightweight Frankie Perez knocked out Canadian Sam Stout in the first round for his first UFC win, and then immediately announced his retirement from the UFC and MMA afterwards. Overall there were 12 fights in total. Attendance for the Fight Night show was announced at 7,202 with gate revenues of just under $1 million Canadian. There were a number of other events that fans could take part in free of charge during fight weekend.
Those included the open workouts on Friday and the UFC Fan Experience from Friday to Sunday. Saskatoon was the fourth stop on the UFC Fan Experience tour this year. The event included autograph sessions with ring girls Chrissy Blair and Vanessa Hanson and autograph sessions with UFC fighters such as welterweight Tyron Woodley and Canadian Elias Theodorou. Over at Dakota Dunes Casino on Saturday evening, legendary UFC star Randy Couture was the
star attraction for an evening of autograph signings with the fans. Also on hand were representatives with the Saskatchewan Rush, Saskatoon’s new team in the National Lacrosse League. The franchise moved from Edmonton this summer and begins play in 2016. The team brought along a Randy Couture Monster Truck that had been built in his likeness. Couture had worked with the Rush to cross-train the players in MMA techniques.

Waldheim native heads to Briercrest for volleyball By Jadon Frank Kirsty Kindrachuk, another in an ever growing line of Waldheim, Saskatchewan products, will be heading to Briercrest College to play on the women’s volleyball team this year. “I graduated from Waldheim High School, having also attended Hafford Central School and the softball academy at Tommy Douglas Collegiate in high school,” Kindrachuk said. “I have received high academic honors in all of high school. In Grade 9 I received the best female athlete in Hafford Central School and MVP of the volleyball team at Tommy Douglas Collegiate in my senior year. My high school volleyball team was the Tommy Douglas Collegiate Tigers. Other high school sports that I played were badminton, track and field, and softball.” Briercrest head coach Nolan Weinmaster is excited to see what Kindrachuk will bring to the team this season. “Kindrachuk has been a member of our Briercrest 18’s volleyball club this past year and it has been a pleasure to watch her grow and improve throughout the season, while helping the
team have a lot of success,” Weinmaster said. “She has great ball control and will really contribute to our team with her passing and defense. She is a smart attacker as well and brings a great serve to our lineup. I am really excited about working with Kindrachuk. I know her fun personality will be such a great addition to our team and she comes from a great family where she has grown up with a lot of strong character instilled in her. She is a great fit for our culture here with Briercrest Women’s Volleyball.” Like many volleyball players, Kindrachuk joined volleyball initially due to her physical stature. “I started playing in Grade 6 as a middle because of my height but then soon realized I wasn’t as tall as I had initially thought, so I switched to left side hitter for the remainder of my club years,” she explained. ”I started playing club volleyball in Grade 8 with North Battleford Crush, for three
years (15U for two years and 16U for one). I captained the team to achieve silver and bronze provincial medals in 15U and 16U, respectively. I played for Team Saskatchewan in the summers of 2013 and 2014. I then went to play for Waldheim United/Briercrest United for years 17U and 18U where we won a gold and bronze provincial medal, respectively. In 18U, we finished top 13 in the National Championship Tournament. The highlight of my career so far was getting to know such a fun and faithful group of girls with such an inseparable bond. I enjoyed having such caring coaches as well, throughout all the teams I’ve played on, they’ve all taught me many important life lessons so I’m also looking forward to have another level of coaching that college will offer.” Kindrachuk has been very involved in her community throughout her high school years. “My hobbies and inter-
ests include drinking coffee, dancing, art and playing dice games,” she said. “I’m planning to study Psychology at Briercrest and I’m looking forward to hopefully leave a lasting impression on the people I meet, but ultimately, looking forward to the journey of following out God’s will. In 2012, I had an opportunity to go to a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) conference with 2 other students from my school. I stayed with a wonderful African-Canadian family that I learned more about throughout the week and attended the conference with her as well. It turns out we were both Christian and our families both prayed together before meals and in the evenings. I learned a lot of things there that have stuck with me and I’m thankful I got to meet them.” For up to date information on the Briercrest volleyball teams, “like” their Facebook page.
Kristy Kindrachuk brings her strong serve and leadership to Briercrest. Her accolades run deep and she looks to be an integral part of Briercrest’s volleyball success. Photo submitted

North Stars golf classic filled despite weather
Staff While the weather may not have been perfect, the annual Battlefords North Stars golf classic was still a resounding success. Twenty-two teams with 132 golfers took part in the event at the Jackfish Lodge, which saw the North Stars raise around $10,000. Silent auction, raffle tickets, 50/50’s, mulligans, poker hands and putting lace sales were all up from last year. The winning team of the day was the Federated
Insurance team captained by Greg Schmidt, other team members were Aaron Friedman, Jason Buziak, Terry Burnett, Matt Edwards and Brent Sack who finished 21 strokes under par. Other awards handed out on the day were: Men’s longest drive: Dave Taylor; Womens longest drive: Ashley Rafuse; closest to the pin: Dale Mitchell; longest putt: Quinton Gauthier and closest to the Remax balloon: Frazer Donahue. The event was the final
fundraiser for the North Stars before they begin the 2015-16 SJHL season. The team has off-ice training Sunday before hitting the ice for their first team practice Monday afternoon. The North Stars play five exhibition games to gear up for the first regular season game Sept. 18 against the Kindersley Klippers. The North Stars host those same Klippers Tuesday night for their first preseason game before taking

On August 19 my granddaughter, Sonya Bouvier, from Calgary, and I spent a nice evening with Bev and Bernard Nash and their son Clinton, at the Battlefords Sailing Club clubhouse in Meota. Sonya was invited to
join them for her first sailboat ride, which she really enjoyed. Later we joined the family to partake of Bernard’s birthday cake, along with several other folks. The picture is of the newly painted picnic table, done by Kathy Saretzky, a kayaker from Saskatoon. She spends a few hours daily on the lake

in her kayak and stores it in the clubhouse. This facility has much to offer the community with the full kitchen, lounge area with a pool table, huge deck, men’s and women’s showers, the sandy beach and picnic tables that are included when you rent the facility. Membership is most reasonable and makes one think it would pay to belong, and of course they are looking for members to share their club advantages. They have for use kayaks, sailboats and windsurfers and offer storage of sails and equipment.

With a record-breaking construction season in full swing, July’s traffic safety spotlight highlighted the need for motorists to slow down and exercise additional caution in work zones across the province. In total, police recorded 3,556 (as of Aug. 18) manually enforced speed-related offences in and out of work zones for the month of July, including: • 42 exceeding posted speed limit by 35 km/h; • 48 exceeding posted speed limit by 50 km/h;
• two driving at least twice the posted speed limit; • 17 speeding in a construction zone where a highway worker or flag person is present; • 99 passing emergency vehicles at more than 60 km/h; • 3,248 other speed-related offences. Law enforcement also issued 100 impaired drivingrelated offences, 130 tickets for distracted driving (102 of those for cellphone use) and 293 tickets for not using a seatbelt, car seat or booster seat.
Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviours not only put motorists and their vehicles at risk, they also needlessly endanger the lives of other drivers and road users. These risks are magnified in work zones due to the presence of workers, additional road hazards and because traffic can suddenly slow or stop. SGI reminds motorists that even if workers are not present, speed limits are reduced to 60km/h when entering a highway work zone. In municipal areas, work zones will be marked

Visit SGI’s website to learn more about work zones and speeding, or get more information about the Road Safety Challenge. Follow SGI on Facebook and Twitter for tips on how #wecandrivebetter. SGI and law enforcement continue to focus on sharing the road with commercial drivers for the month of August.

Century birthdays have special meaning for Meota Lorna Pearson
Correspondent
Congratulations to Lillian Cornell on reaching her 111th birthday on Aug. 21. I hear her picture was on the front page of the Saskatoon Star Phoenix and she had a television interview. What a remarkable person she truly is. She attended a party at the summer home of her daughter Lou Tait and her son, in Meota, with a few guests. There has been more mowing done out at the cemetery. What a big job that is. Any time a person has time to go out and do a little bit, it really helps. Before one section is finished being cut,

Robert and Lanette St. Amant are away on a trip to Iceland for a marathon for Robert to take part in, so hope for a report next week. Living costs there are pretty high. The northern lights have been most spectacular about three o’clock in the morning, they tell me. My kids at Carstairs were up at 3 a.m. and all residents were wak-

wonderful to have so many family members together at once. The hummingbirds are still around but will be leaving soon. There is so much feed available with all the flowers, they should be well stocked up for their long flight south. They are so pretty to watch with the sun shining on their green backs and wings. Anywhere you walk you are bound to see some.

Trust and prepare to be amazed I used to obsess about my finances. I planned, I projected, I did my best to pay down debt, save and have a little “in case of emergency” fund. I budgeted and accounted for every single penny. The more I counted my pennies, the more pennies I seemed to need. I had every bill covered with little room left for the unexpected. The unexpected always happened. When you have a car, a house and a family there are always surprises. There seemed to be a direct correlation between the amount of energy I spent obsessing about money and the amount of money I felt I needed. There was never, ever, ever enough. I don’t know what shifted my perspective in my “worry to money ratio.” It may have happened when I rid myself of five different accounts to budget for every contingency I could imagine. I amalgamated all of my savings with all of my debt and my enemies started living together under one roof. Surprisingly, they have lived quite well together. Since that time, I have stopped “sweating the small stuff.” When times are good, I sock away my money and apply it towards my debt. When times are lean, I borrow what I need from that same loan. Unfortunately I have had quite a few lean years in
as I know it
By Colleen Crawford recent history. Going back to school was the death of my finances, but resuscitated me in so many ways. The years when I attempted to redirect my career were the hardest years I can remember, but they taught me more than a formal education ever could have. The leanest years of my life took and gave back to me, in proportion to each other, emotionally and financially. I recently went back to the archives of my financial history. I have accumulated more debt since my return to school. In that same stretch of history, my pension has grown by triple the number I have borrowed. My savings used to be an ever-changing number and even though that amount has been depleted, the number that is in there now is more “static.” I went back further in time and I am aghast to see the years I felt the poorest, I had the least amount of debt and the most amount
of savings. I guess counting every single penny did have its advantages. Now that wasn’t the direction I was headed when I started writing! My point, which feels slightly moot at the moment, is by lessening the energy I spend on worrying, I have found “things always work out in the end.” For almost every extracurricular expense, I have found an unexpected windfall on the opposite end of the spending spectrum. I planned a purely whimsical trip to see Dancing With the Stars in Las Vegas. The cost of this trip was absorbed by some unexpected gift money that came my way. I ordered some extra family history books to have on hand for both my mom and dad’s families. Surprisingly, I had some unexpected financial bonuses which equaled almost the exact amount of my book order. As I considered the expense of a new computer verses the need, I hovered back and forth in a state of
indecision for quite some time before letting my income tax refund, almost the exact amount of the new computer, make the decision for me. I took the plunge and booked flights and accommodations for a trip to see my uncle. I invited my mom along for the ride. I planned this trip for all the right reasons and knew without a doubt I would find a way, or it would simply work out, and it would not cause my financial situation any undue hardship. What has transpired is beyond amazing. My son just happened to need to buy a car without

shopping for one. I just happened to have a spare one sitting on the driveway. He paid double my asking price but my asking price was enough to cover my trip. My trip is paid in full. Add onto that equation the fact that my mom overpaid me for doing her income tax. Add that total to the refund I will get for canceling my car registration and insurance and not only do I have my ticket paid in full, but my mom’s as well. I tend to throw my money around without a second thought when it comes to doing what I feel is the right thing. This trip was the right thing to do. I knew it without a doubt. I spent first
and budgeted later. The end result is nothing short of amazing. I was telling my cousin (a minister) of the miracle of my spending lately. I worry less and it always works out in the end, in the most unexpected ways. He spoke of the “law of provision” and if we just relax and trust (in God) we are always provided for. I am quite certain my cousin could speak more eloquently than I, but the long and short of it is “trust, and you shall be amazed”. This line of thinking hasn’t served me too well in the department of romance. But hey, Maybe it is because I didn’t trust enough. Hmmm. Food for thought, for another day.

Cool weather affects community activities By Elaine Woloshyn Correspndent
Jack Frost managed to follow the instructions from the weather forecast the night of Aug. 22, which was only the first quarter of the moon. Usually the first frost will occur on the full moon, which is marked Aug. 29 on the calendar. It is always a very dreadful thing, having the garden and crops destroyed by frost, but this was just a very light one, so let’s keep our fingers crossed for a while longer. Weeds killed by frost is always a welcome thought! Most farmers are starting to harvest the crops in our area. The later seeded crops will benefit from the later rains. Let’s hope for a reasonably dry autumn, which farmers always need. Faye and Keith Liebaert were very satisfied with the recent family reunion held at their farmyard. Trailers kept the campers warm and cozy, because tenting would have been a little too cool on the weekend of Aug. 21. Fortyfour members of the Dean family hailed from various points in Alberta, southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Various activities were held with people of all ages participating in horseshoe, bocci ball, washoo and spin

art. The kids had a competition as to who could build the best fort in the bushes. Everyone did a thumbprint with paint on big rocks from a field and named it Dean Reunion Last Memories. A pig roast and fish from Flin Flon were two very tasty meals. A few people from the community attended the Blueberry Festival in St. Walburg Aug. 22, but again with the cooler weather they had to try to stay warm because numerous activities were outdoors. There was no shortage of blueberries to be sold. I’m told that the farther north you go, the blueberries are much larger and tastier than by Chitek and Meadow Lake areas. Personally, I did pick a few north of Chitek Lake, but the size did vary. Jam and various desserts are what I plan on doing with mine. Apparently blueberry wine is very good.

Allergy Relief - An All Season Solution
Registered Nutritional Product Advisor
It is therefore aimed at all types of allergies (rather than only hay fever) because it promotes a normalization of the immune system. Allergy Relief from A Vogel can help to alleviate your symptoms quickly & efficiently without the use of steroids and other chemical decongestant sprays that are conventional approaches. If you know that seasonal allergies are likely to affect you, Allergy Relief can be taken prior to your symptoms to help control your body’s response. Allergy Relief is available in a nasal spray, tablet form (to be dissolved under the tongue) or drops that can be added to water. Always contact your health care provider before starting any supplement program.
Tanis Roberts
Debby Dolney Registered Nutritional Product Advisor
When you get a cold, or if you suffer from allergies, the tissues of the nasal passages known as the mucus membranes, become inflamed and swollen, leading to a blocked drainage path. Allergies were almost never heard of 50 years ago but they are now one of the most frequent health problems. Respiratory allergies, hay fever and allergic asthma are some of the names given to this disease now in epidemic proportions in our society. Allergy Relief is an actual concept and is very different from that of the other homeopathic products available for allergies. Rather than targeting only a person’s allergic symptoms, Allergy Relief eliminates the toxins that overload the immune system.

e all have them, but until we become congested, we are unaware of their existence. With fall fast approaching, so is another round of sinus allergies. Facial pain and pressure, nasal stuffiness, loss of smell and discharge are common symptoms of sinusitis. So what are sinuses? The sinuses are cavities in your skull. They are air pockets located inside the bones in the skull. Our sinus cavities are lined with a very hairlike projections called cilia. The function of the cilia is to move mucus (which is naturally produced in the sinus). Sinuses are connected to the nasal passages by a single small and very narrow opening, the size of a pin hole. And here lies the problem.

had a fun time and would like to do this again next summer. Bob Morton, who resides in the summer at Chitek with his wife Corrine, thrilled us by playing the bagpipes. Another cabin owner, Tony Atkins from Edmonton, played an unusual instrument from Australia, a wind instrument called the didgeridoo. Norman, Darlene, Bob and Tony tried to play music all together with the different instruments which did sound very good. A few other entertainers were going to attend, but due to other commitments did not. Thanks to Norman and the others for the wonderful music. Get well wishes to a former employee of mine, Nora Skelton of Chitek Lake, who is in a Saskatoon hospital.
We are hoping that you get healthy again, Nora, so you will be your cheerful self and get to do all the things you used to. Shirley Lamontagne’s oldest son Calvin, who resides in Grand Forks, B.C., is only approximately five miles from the fires burning out of control in Washington. People have been warned to be ready to leave suddenly. Calvin’s large equipment is in fact being used to help fight the fire. It was a pleasure to have Ellis Knutson of Chitek Lake and Saskatoon with his daughter Beverly at my cabin for supper with Leanne and Stephen, my farm neighbours, this past Sunday. Ellis was the school principal at Mayfair School until his retirement in 1984.
Bev resides in Medicine Hat with her husband but spends about five months in Parker, Arizona in the winter. Parker is a one and a half hour drive from Yuma. She, of course, attended Mullingar and Mayfair schools until entering university. The stores are extra busy with students and parents purchasing the needed school supplies. I could not believe the price of a 150 package of looseleaf for 10 cents and crayons priced at 25 cents at a chain store in North Battleford. Seems like these things were not that cheap when my children were in their elementary school years. Last weekend when driving past our yard which is located near the highway, a neighbour saw a wild boar walking north to another neighbour’s yard. The happy ending was that two teenaged boys tracked this vicious animal for about half a mile and shot it. Wild boar meat is actually quite tasty. A couple of years ago, about 10 miles west in our field, there was a herd of these animals that rooted up the crop and really made a mess. The largest of this herd had tusks longer than a foot, so you would not want to come face to face with something like this. They are becoming a real menace in numerous rural areas. Don’t forget the Spiritwood Folk Fest on Sept. 5 and 6. The price of $5 means very cheap entertainment and tickets can be purchased during August at the confectionary or at any one of the pavilions, which will be located throughout town.
Sask has highest job vacancy rate in Canada with 11,100 unfilled jobs Staff Saskatchewan is having the hardest time of all the provinces finding people to fill job vacancies. Approximately 325,200 job openings remain unfilled across the country, according to the latest Help Wanted report by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). Nationwide openings in full-time, part-time and temporary positions sit at 2.6 per cent, down a tenth of a percentage point from last quarter. “Vacancy rates have held fairly steady since the end of 2014,” said Ted Mallet, CFIB chief economist and vice-president. “Weaker labour markets in Saskatchewan and Alberta have seen their vacancy rates drop back down in line with national averages, but otherwise, there has been
very little change across the country.” CFIB’s numbers were echoed by Statistics Canada’s official job vacancies first quarter report after the agency updated its methodology, which now closely aligns with CFIB’s. Despite a second quarter decline, Saskatchewan businesses continue to have the most difficulty filling positions, with the highest vacancy rate in the country at 3.1 per cent, representing 11,100 jobs. Nova Scotia has the lowest rate in the country at 2.2 per cent, representing 6,600 jobs. Ontario, which sits in the middle of the provincial pack with a vacancy rate of 2.5 per cent, has nearly 40 per cent of the country’s vacancies, with 121,700 openings. Vacancy rates are higher in smaller businesses, sitting between
4.5 per cent among businesses with 1-4 employees, and 4.2 per cent for those with 5-19. Small business rates are nearly double large businesses, with firms with more than 500 employees boasting a vacancy rate of 2.2 per cent. The highest vacancy rate among industries is in personal services (4.4 per cent), followed by construction (3.8 per cent) and hospitality (3.4 per cent). Rates declined in the resources, wholesale, and information sectors in the second quarter. The survey also found a clear relationship between job vacancies and wages. Businesses with vacancies reported planned average organization-wide wage increases of 1.9 per cent, while those fully staffed reported a half-point smaller planned increase of 1.4 per cent.

Summer activities moving into fall mode By Sherri Solomko Correspondent
As August creeps into the end of summer, folks are still trying to cool off from the heat wave that hit Aug. 12 and seemed to linger for a long time, although the rain that everyone waited for in June and decided to arrive in late August didn’t garner leaps of joy either. Disbelief is common in many who find it hard to believe that in a few short weeks school will be back in session and we will be talking about the summer of 2015 in past tense. More and more harvest activity is underway and thoughts are varying on what kind of crops will come off after the prolonged dry weather experienced this spring and early summer. Those who had gardens, and were lucky enough to have them produce in this dry weather, will be busy canning and processing their harvest for the winter. There are always neighbours with an abundance of produce who are willing to share their product. And we
nity News are lucky to have those folks who take their additional garden product to the weekly farmers market for others to purchase and enjoy some terrific homegrown fresh garden vegetables. Multiple ball players are in tryouts for winter training teams and the 2017 Canada Summer Games. Some squirt girls participated in Fall Ball Zone Provincial Championships Aug. 21 weekend in Regina. Even though the action of the diamonds has subsided, there is still some ball action taking place for Unity players. The Unity Credit Union Aquatic Centre has wrapped up for this season.

a unique adventure it was! A big thank you to Natalie and all the lifeguards for ensuring a safe swimming season for everyone, as well as hosting some fun events for the kids this past summer. It was a terrific inaugural year for the new pool, thanks to the aquatic centre staff. Two big events coming up at the Unity Golf Course in addition to their weekly golf nights are the annual Fun Day of Golf and Candace Heitt Memorial Run. Be sure to keep an eye on the local paper, posters around town and the Town of Unity website for more details. What you need to remember folks, with back-toschool shopping to do or harvest purchases to be made, right here in Unity there are plenty of options for looking after those shopping needs. Remember to support those businesses who support you and the events in our community all year long. Tires, parts, groceries, clothing, school supplies and much more are all offered right here in your own community – with free parking to boot. Residents from other communities come here for these very reasons so don’t overlook the great things right in your own town. Speaking of businesses in Unity and all that they offer, a big congratulations is extended to Geraldine Barrett of Sunrise Wellness Spa who held her 35th anniversary celebration in Unity this week. Committing to operate a business in small-town Saskatchewan for 35 years is a remarkable accomplishment. Sunrise Wellness Spa is certainly one of the many drawing cards for other people to come to our town and see what we are all about. The beginning of registrations for fall sessions for a
number of sports and activities has begun. Dance registration will be taking place the last week in August. Unity Minor Football had an early registration before school was out and will complete the process the end of this month as well, with the season set to begin with practices Aug. 24, and Aug. 29 teams will head to Kerrobert for the minor football jamboree. Flag football for Grades 2-6 will hold registration and first session at Warrior Field Aug. 30 at 1 p.m. And, after all this ball talk, it won’t be long before hockey registration is also on the minds and “to do” lists of many. Be sure to watch the electronic town sign, local bulletin boards and social media for updates on the many registrations that will be taking place this fall. In addition to mentioning all the fall registrations that are upcoming, remember all of these organizations, as well as our service clubs, will be looking for some new members to join their ranks. We can count ourselves lucky to have the service clubs as well as executives that run the many activities in town; ask yourself if you can be part of the process by volunteering some time to help one of these groups out. It will benefit us all! Cam Broten was at the Adanac Hall to meet folks at a meet and greet event. This is one of many events and activities hosted regularly at our Unity Museum grounds. In addition to the weekly farmers market that will take place for several more weeks yet, the museum grounds hold many photo sessions for special occasions. Soon it will be time once again for the weekly pancake brunches; stay
tuned for those details. Following KC Rescue’s reorganization /infor mation meeting Aug. 12, it was learned KC Rescue will be moving to the old pool building, hoping to complete the relocation process by mid-September. Remember this non-profit animal rescue continues to run on a volunteer basis and they still are looking for folks who can help out in any way. Duties include scoop, water and feed; helping to pack and move; some painting projects; and other odd jobs. If you can lend a hand, call 306-228-2132 and leave your name and contact number. The host committee for the upcoming Montreal Canadien Hockey Alumni game to be hosted in Unity Nov. 27 has met again to
fine-tune their plans for this exciting event at the local arena. Keep posted here for details on the game and all that this event will entail. Coffee row folks – well they have uttered the same collective sigh as many in Rider nation over the plight of our Riders. The same theories erupt – it’s not that they’re playing bad football and each of the eight losses have been painfully close; however, that does not erase the fact that the team has not been 0-8 in more than 30 years. Harvest happenings are a continual discussion topic as folks theorize on just how hurtful this spring’s prolonged dry weather has been. So you keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time ...

The Battlefords, Thursday, August 27, 2015 - Page 24
Intense pain when you have only yourself to blame! Ed, my old neighbour from Saskatchewan, found my recent discomfort humorous. I told him that I had had a terrible, horrible, very bad week. It began when I was working at my computer, and I spilt a glass of water on my computer. I tried to rescue my computer from the water, but I was too slow, and it died on the desk, a sudden, innocent and senseless death. I took it to the computer hospital, the specialist there pronounced it dead and forever gone. That was just the beginning. When I went to close a kitchen window that same night, I pulled the latch off the window. The latch now has to be replaced, and I have to go outside to open the kitchen window. When
eighbourly Advice According to Ed
By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com
revraymaher@accesscomm.ca I do that, I stand beside a once beautiful but now dead basket of petunias that I overwatered. I was so focused on them not drying out in the heat that they became waterlogged and died. Ed had great fun at my expense as he said, “It just proves you are a walking disaster, and everyone should stay clear of you.’’ I could not disagree
with Ed when it came to my string of deadly actions. The hard thing about my disasters was that I had only myself to blame. I’m much better at blaming others than myself when things go wrong. It was very humbling to speak the truth and admit that I alone was to blame for all the dying and breaking that went on. Getting angry at others and blaming them
is a convenient way to deal with disasters in life, but it was a luxury I could not claim. When a person is to blame for what went wrong, how long should they keep being angry at themselves? Is it possible we are much better at being and staying angry at others than ourselves? It has been my observation that when others break or destroy our stuff we can keep anger towards them for hours, days and years. When we break or destroy our computers, we forgive ourselves faster than we would another person who broke it. Mostly, we decide that it is pointless to keep blaming ourselves for what we have done or failed to do. Blaming and being angry at
Perhaps if we forgave others as fast as we forgive ourselves, we would be living out the ‘Golden Rule’ more closely. ourselves is mighty unsatisfying and a useless waste of our time. When it comes to ourselves, we usually decide to move on and make the best of our disasters. Why do some of us have so much trouble forgiving others and moving on as if blaming and being angry at others isn’t pointless? Perhaps if we forgave others as fast as we forgive ourselves, we would be living out the ‘Golden Rule’ more closely. The golden rule states, “Love
your neighbour as yourself.” Sometimes I do not love myself, especially when I kill my computer. My ability to love can be small and my willingness to be angry and blaming large. I thank God for his great love towards us even when our ability to love ourselves and others is lacking. Christ Jesus died for us because we are sinners always struggling to love as God has loved us. To God be the glory for unconditional love towards us.

Crown Hill Beef Club receives FCC grant By Cole Reid
Club Reporter
The Crown Hill 4-H Beef Club had a whopping 24 members and a busy year with lots of activities from Cookie Day, the Christmas party, the Beef Expo, speeches and a Trim day, to a steak night and other fundraising, Achievement Day and the Regional Show. This year we were fortunate enough to receive a Farm Credit Canada grant of $500 to help our club.
The club members voted to use the money to purchase director lawn chairs for all members with our last names and the Crown Hill logo on the back. They were such a good idea that many parents and siblings decided to purchase their own chairs to match the group. Now, when we are at 4-H shows, other cattle shows or even the lake, everyone can see that we are proud 4-Hers and a member of the Crown Hill Club. Thank you FCC for your continued support of youth in agriculture.

Elections held for the RM of Glenside council By Dorothy Mills Correspondent
Voting in the election for new reeve for the RM of Glenside took place in Biggar. Advance polls opened from 9 a.m. to noon July 20 and regular polls opened July 23. Elmer Dove from the Lizard Lake area was voted in as the new reeve. Two new councillors were voted in: Pelmar Riley in one division and Coady Dehr for another division; and then three by acclamation. Joanne Fullerton is the secretary for the RM of Glenside. The RM road patrol graders have been grading all the
aljennie roads as the gravelling outfit moved in to spread gravel where needed. At last some good rains did fall in the local area but a little light for some things. The hay balers have certainly been busy as there are a lot of bales made on the hay land. We are now slowly sliding into the harvest season. The crops seem to be in many different stages at this time. A few are going to be
late. Some desiccating has started on the early crops so that means combining is not too far away. Some combining has started on the very early crops. Those Were The Days was held Aug. 8 and 9 at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford. The volunteer groups spent the whole week prior to the event getting as many of the old tractors and stationary engines as they could going, plus other old farm machinery, and preparing the many displays and live activities. A big thank you goes out to all the busy volunteers who did so much to make the show successful for another year.
We did miss having the calliope from the Saskatoon Western Development Museum and the steam-powered music. Following Those Were The Days was the annual North Battleford parade, the fair and the fireworks in between the rain showers. Everyone did miss the local exhibits on display, also all the garden produce, flowers and plants. Other displays did fill in the gaps but it wasn’t the same as be-
fore. Just goes to show there is such a lack of interest. The same exhibitors had been coming for many years. You certainly are all missed. Another big thank you goes out to all the volunteers for the fair, parade and fireworks. Sympathy goes out to the Roger Leask family of rural Battleford on his recent passing. Visiting with Phil and Lorna Bater was Kay Leech from Borden, formerly of
Baljennie, and her daughter Sharron Fentuck of Saskatoon. Another summer season has quickly passed away and the school holidays come to an end. It’s back to school time in a few days. Everyone is trying to get their school supplies together. The big yellow school buses will once more be out on the roads, streets and highways. Take care and watch for those bus stops and flashing lights.

OBITUARIES BEDIER, Clarice: January 31,1919 - August 18, 2015. Our loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend walked her final journey with family by her side on August 18, 2015 at the age of 96. We have been blessed to have had her in our lives. She left footprints of love and kindness on each of our hearts. We fondly remember her as a hard-working woman of great faith, character and strength. During her life she blessed many family and friends with endless freshly baked bread, buns, cinnamon buns, cakes, cookies, beautiful handmade quilts, knitting, crocheting, sewing and many crafts. She loved gardening and took great pleasure in showing everyone how well her vegetables were coming along and displayed her flowers with great pride. Everyone who visited never left hungry or empty handed. Her genuine kindness, passionate nature, warm smile and gentle touch will always be remembered. Mom was predeceased by her husband, Joe of 66 years, son Louis, her parents, 4 brothers and 2 sisters and members of her extended family. She leaves to mourn her passing her four daughters: Lucy (Keith) Rivett, Marie (Lawrence) Tetreault, Elaine (Dennis) Taylor, Sal (Wayne) Knutson, 13 grandchildren and their spouses and 19 great grandchildren, sister Eva, sisters-in-law Cecile Fendelet, Solange Bedier, Helen Desmarais and Rose Desmarais. Mom was very proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her family was very important to her and always wanted to know how they were doing in their activities. If we didn’t phone her with game results, she would be calling the next day for updates on games. She was a very die hard Saskatchewan Roughrider fan and on game day would be seen dressed in her green Rider gear from head to toe. Another love of hers was men’s curling, with Kevin Martin being her favourite player. Vigil of Prayer for Clarice was held on Friday, August 21, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. Funeral Mass was on Saturday, August 22, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. Both were held at St. Solange Roman Catholic Church in Hafford, SK. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Mom’s name to: Hafford Special Care Centre, Box 130 Hafford, SK S0J 1A0 or Oasis Personal Care Home, Box 26, Speers, SK S0M 2V0.

VILLAGE OF MERVIN
PUBLIC NOTICE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AND ZONING BYLAW ADOPTION
Public Notice is hereby given that the Council for the Village of Mervin intends to consider the adoption of a bylaw under section 35 The Planning and Development Act (PDA), 2007 to adopt a new Official Community Plan (OCP) and adopt a new Zoning Bylaw under section 46 of PDA, 2007. INTENT: The OCP provides a municipal vision of municipal futures and includes local land-use policies to assist decision makers in achieving this vision. It establishes balanced growth and associated servicing considerations within the region. The Plan will be adopted by Council, and all future land use decisions shall be consistent with the OCP. However, the OCP is a changing document, and amendments may be made in response to changing conditions in the municipality. The second proposed bylaw known as the Zoning Bylaw will establish the regulations for future growth and development within the municipal boundaries of the village. Included are specific zoning designations to which specific permitted and discretionary uses are assigned. AFFECTED LAND: The affected land is legally described as all lands located within the jurisdiction of the Village of Mervin. REASON: The reason for the adoption of the Official Community Plan is to: 1.
Promote diverse and affordable housing options for various demographics within the municipality to maintain a high quality of life for all residents. It is important that local communities attract and retain permanent residents and families.
2.
Regional collaboration allows for the preservation of environmentally, culturally sensitive areas, local water resources, and development opportunities for collaborative and complementary infrastructure and land uses. The retention of local amenities ensures the high quality of life and promotes recreational and tourism opportunities.
3.
Encourage and facilitate economic diversification to establish a stable local economy built off agriculture and value-added agribusiness, consumer and tourism opportunities.
4.
The identification of specific areas within the region for particular land-use development ensures appropriate compatibility between different types of development. These designations are regulated through the municipal Zoning Bylaw that reflect a particular character and community-inspired values, which preserve and enhance local identity.

Legend was found on the highway and was very scared when he first came in. He has come a very long way in a very short period of time but he will need a home that can help him build his confidence and help him feel safe. Give this sweet guy a second chance!! BUTTERS is a silly guy who loves to talk to us in the mornings. He is happy and outgoing and loves to play and snuggle with his bestie Buttons. Come and meet this awesome kitten and see if he is the forever friend you have been waiting for!!
