ROTARY PLAZA TOP things to know about the synthetic ice: 1. Skates must be sharp. 2. It’s tougher to get going on than real ice, but once skaters get the hang of it, they generally have no problems. 3. The skates tend to dull quickly, so regular use will require more sharpening than normal. 4. It will feel harder to skate on than regular ice of course! After all, it’s plastic! 5. It’s an excellent way to exercise!! 6. Skaters who expect it to feel and respond like normal ice will be disappointed, it does take more effort - but it’s way cool!! 7.

Precautionary water advisory to last two to three days First boil water order since 2001 By John Cairns Staff Reporter
An incident at F.E. Holliday water treatment plant on Tuesday sounded the alarm that led to the precautionary drinking water advisory issued throughout North Battleford. City officials addressed the situation at a news conference Wednesday afternoon, in which they provided more details as to what happened at the plant. According to City Manager Jim Puffalt, the incident took place at 12:16 p.m. Tuesday. For six minutes, partially-treated water bypassed the water treatment processes and flowed into the treated water reservoir of the surface water plant, due to an operational error, he said. “At 12:22 p.m., the water quality alarms went off and we immediately shut down the plant,” said Puffalt. As a consequence, the precautionary drinking wa-
ter advisory was issued in consultation with the Water Security Agency, said Puffalt. Puffalt said efforts were made to further evaluate the situation in the evening. “The results of that work indicated that in all likelihood the partially-treated water remained within the water treatment plant.” The main concern of officials was to make sure the water hadn’t gotten into the distribution system. The City commenced flushing of the surface water main closest to the water treatment plant as an additional precaution in the event the water left the plant before the shutdown. Puffalt said the line being flushed is isolated to protect the distribution system. To further reduce the risk, the City also disinfected and was flushing water from the surface water treatment plant reservoirs. Additional water testing is being done, said Puffalt,
and he said it will take two to three days to do the testing and ensure the water is safe. He is urging residents to respect the water advisory, and adds it is necessary until they determine for sure that the water is safe. “We believe it was contained within the water treatment plant; we can’t one hundred percent guarantee. We’re not going to take any chances with peoples’ health.” In attendance at the news conference were various representatives including those from the City, the provincial Water Security Agency and Prairie North Health Region. Mayor Ian Hamilton had not been able to get back from vacation in time to attend. Unlike the cryptosporidium crisis of 2001, this boilwater order was not prompted due to people coming down sick from drinking the water. “So far we’ve not re-
Swiftwolfe sentenced for manslaughter Staff One of two individuals accused in connection to an incident on Moosomin First Nation in February of last year has been sentenced for manslaughter. Troy Swiftwolfe entered a guilty plea to manslaughter in court Wednesday. Swiftwolfe was sentenced in Queen’s Bench Court, Battleford to a term of sev-
en and a half years. He receives remand credit of one year, which means he will serve the remaining six and a half years in a federal penitentiary. Details on the underlying facts of the case cannot be released, as a non-publication order has been issued in the case. The case against co-accused Taryn Cote remains before the courts. His matters are due back in court next month.
ceived any report of people being sick because of the incident,” said Dr. Mandiangu Nsungu, medical health officer of Prairie North Health Region, at the media conference. He pledged to continue surveillance of the situation. With Northwest Territorial Days going on, a prime concern has been food and drink safety at the fair and also at restaurants that use the City’s water supply. Don Corrigal, manager of the department of protective services with the region, said they received a call from the Water Security Agency Tuesday afternoon and identified a list of at-risk facilities. He said the initial target was care facilities in the city, and they were able to get to those facilities and ensure the safety and health of those residents. The priority on Wednesday, said Corrigal, was a list of about 200 locations in the city. A staff of four went around to restaurants, the fair, swimming pools and various other sites to ensure they knew about the advisory and were taking the needed precautions to address concerns raised by the advisory. “We anticipated being able to visit all of those 200plus facilities by mid-afternoon, and it looks like they are on task, and on time” said Corrigal. Puffalt pledged to continue with regular updates on the situation and expressed his hope the precautionary drinking water advisory could be lifted as quickly as possible. He also stressed again the need to minimize water consumption at this point in time. It is recommended that any water to be consumed be boiled for one minute before consuming. The last city-wide boil water order was in 2001.

This Corner By Becky Doig Editor
It’s a busy week in the Battlefords, with Northwest Territorial Days in full swing. The annual “fair” kicked off with a colourful parade featuring about 100 entries Monday evening. Anyone who questions the economic spin off from the Battlefords Agricultural Society annual event had to look no further than the ice cream vendors, restaurants and coffee shops following the parade. It was a hot, muggy evening and local businesses reaped the benefits from the thirsty and hungry crowd once the parade was over. From all reports it was an exceptional parade. Congratulations to the Ag. Society and all who participated. It was especially fun to see the WDM’s calliope included in the lineup once again. Arlene Shiplett was playing it for the entertainment of the crowds lining the streets.

Harper gov’t sells out farmers Dear Editor Gerry Ritz and the Harper government continue to sell out Canada’s farmers. The sale of the Canadian Wheat Board to foreign interests with no lasting benefits to Canadian farmers is one indicator. The hidden details of the Trans Pacific trade deal in which the supply management aspects of Canada’s egg and dairy industries is a second example. Canada’s farmers deserve better. Elgin W.

Build carbon capture plants or stop driving? I got into a discussion with a political type recently about cutting greenhouse gas emissions. My initial question was about the use of carbon capture technology, like that used in the Boundary Dam Integrated Carbon Capture Project. The person I was speaking to scoffed, saying it was a $1.5 billion experiment, no one else is doing similar carbon capture, and there must be a reason for that.

This week’s News-Optimist online poll: Will you be taking in the Perseid meteor shower this year?

coal industry in Saskatchewan, either. She also thinks we should be aiming to set greenhouse gas reductions similar to other provinces who have done well in that regard, but, as I pointed out, have done it by getting rid of coal fired power. At the end of the conversation, I wanted to bang my head against the wall. Let’s throw some numbers out there. According to Saskatchewan’s Ministry of the Environment, Saskatchewan’s 2012 greenhouse gas emissions totalled 74.8 million tonnes. Of that 21 per cent was from electricity generation. SaskPower’s website says, “In Saskatchewan, coal accounts for 47 per cent of our fuel and produces 70 per cent of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.” My numbers, which I admit are rough, put that at about 11 million tonnes per year of GHG emissions. Now, remember, this was before Boundary Dam retired coal-fired Units 1 and 2. And this was before the carbon capture project began removing about one million tonnes per year from Unit 3, roughly 90 per cent of its emissions. Let’s start off with this assumption: BD3 generated about 150 megawatts before

and start burning natural gas. It’s cheap today, but probably not in the future. A much touted carbon tax is a fallacy. Let’s say we brought in a 20 cent carbon tax per litre of gasoline and diesel. That still will not stop me from driving, any more than the cost of gasoline going up to $1.43 per litre did in 2008. I still need to work, and get to work, as does everyone else. And I’m not likely to switch to a dramatically more efficient vehicle, either. Nope, it will just end up being a tax with little emissions result – certainly not 11 million tonnes worth. Indeed, SaskPower advertises that BD3’s one million tonnes per year reduces the equivalent emis-

sions of taking 250,000 cars of the road. If that is true, than a reduction of 11 million would be equal to 2,750,000 cars off the road. The same graph I got the 74.8 million tonnes shows personal and business transportation total 21 per cent of emissions, or the same as our entire electricity output. These numbers are very rough, but the point is we’re not going to stop driving wholesale, so if we want to make emissions cuts, where is the easiest place to do it? At the point sources of the highest concentrations of CO2. Build the capture plants. —Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian. zinchuk@sasktel.net.

it was replaced. After its replacement it’s net output is 110 megawatts – the difference being made up for by the parasitic load to power the capture process, which captures 1 million tonnes per year from 150 megawatts of generation. I believe overall these power output numbers have turned out a little higher, but let’s work with this for now. BD4 and 5 are the same size – 150 megawatts. Unit 6 is 300. So if they all had carbon capture, you’d be capturing an additional four million tonnes per year, roughly. Poplar River Power Station has 582 megawatts of production, so with CO2 capture that would be another four million tonnes captured. Shand Power station is 276 megawatts, so that would add another two million, thereabouts. The total, if all the coalfired units in Saskatchewan had carbon capture adds up to about 11 million tonnes a year, the number we started with before. It’s close enough to be within the fudge factor. Now, how could we possibly make that sort of reduction in Saskatchewan otherwise? We could shut down the coal industry entirely, abandoning all the billions of dollars existing power generating and distribution infrastructure,

New fire hall to serve Meota and area Room for everybody and everything By John Cairns
we’d need more space,” said John MacDonald, mayor of Meota. Committees were formed, land was purchased and the planning began in earnest. MacDonald noted many trips were taken to other fire halls including ones in Alberta, and advice was sought on what worked and what didn’t. Those ideas were brought back to the respective councils for approval. The new fire hall consists of four bays. There is an office for the fire chief that overlooks the bays, as well as a boardroom, an upstairs area and various other features. There is a training room upstairs where firefighters can hook up to the Internet for online courses. There is room for first aid training and other activities. Representatives from Meota, Metinota and the RM of Meota were all in attendance. RM vice-reeve Sherry Jimmy was at the grand opening as was Metinota mayor Glenn Wouters. The ribbon was cut by Cut Knife-Turtleford MLA Larry Doke, who was project manager for the build. He donated his time to the project, taking no salary. A
Staff Reporter
MEOTA — The ribbon has been cut for the brandnew fire hall that will serve Meota, Metinota and surrounding rural areas. The grand opening took place Monday, culminating years of effort towards addressing the need for a new and expanded fire hall. The Meota Fire Department was formerly housed in a two-bay building a few blocks to the south. It was not an ideal situation and Fire Chief Gil Cadrin recalls they would have to move one of the vehicles out of the bays just to hold meetings. Efforts to replace the facility began in 2013. The move was sparked by the decision to acquire a new rapid-response fire truck. It cost roughly $200,000 and was delivered in 2014. Local officials realized that its pending arrival would mean the existing fire hall would not be large enough to accommodate all the department’s equipment including their existing pumper, a water tanker truck and a first-response command van. “We knew that if we were getting a new fire truck that

plaque was presented to him Monday by Wouters in recognition. The project was funded 60 per cent by the RM, 30 per cent by the Village of Meota and 10 per cent by the Resort Village of Metinota. The building itself cost around half a million. Both the fire hall and the fire truck came in under budget. “We’re very proud to be able to supply this type of service for the whole area,” said MacDonald. “We’re very proud of all the equipment. Our volunteer firefighters are very excited about it and are happy to be part of it. So it’s just a continuation of what we already have but it’s updated and hopefully we can continue to upgrade the services as we need to.” The Meota and District fire department is a 100-per cent volunteer firefighting department with 19 members altogether. Each firefighter is equipped with a full suit and equipment and all take the upgraded training needed for their duties. The department is capable of responding to the wide range of fires that can happen including grass and structure fires, as well as responding to accidents and

other emergencies that happen in the area. The grand opening offered a chance for the fire department to show off its equipment. The rapid-response fire engine was given a workout as firefighters suited up, turned on the water from the hose and gave a demonstration of how the unit works. The foam system was also used. Also on display was the unit’s inflatable water rescue craft, something useful when responding to ice rescue situations. But Fire Chief Gil Cadrin says they’ve used it only once. He notes it has a dual purpose. In addition to ice water rescues, a slider can be added and the craft can be hitched to the back of a snowmobile so it can transport people across the snow. Cadrin was very pleased with the larger space for his fire department. “This is unbelievable, the space that we have,” said Cadrin. “Now … we can actually work on equipment, we can have a meeting in the office, we can do some training here and then we can go back out there.” He also likes the fact the building is set up to handle emergency measures in the community. “As we know Mother Nature is getting a little fickle in her old age,” said Cadrin. “There’s some pretty crazy storms and stuff that are dealt our way.” Future plans are to equip the building with a generator so “if something did happen with an extended power outage in the winter time, there’s a warm building to come to.” In addition to the funding from the local municipalities, several donations have been made to the project. Those have included $30,000 from Richardson

Country singer on board with new shelter fund Staff When he comes to perform at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts next month, country singer Codie Prevost will be helping to raise funds for a new animal shelter building. Heather Hall, Battlefords Humane Society board member, says the Saskatchewan-born music star was impressed with the current Mob Dog campaign and has agreed to do a VIP package as a fundraiser for the society. It will be auctioned off online, says Hall. The VIP package will include four premium seats for the Sept. 19 performance, supplied by the Dekker Centre, dinner with Prevost at Blend and limousine service by All Out Limousines. The successful bidders will not only share a meal with Prevost, they will also be treated to a private acoustic performance of one song, a copy of his latest album and a photo opportunity. They will also accompany Prevost on a tour of the animal shelter. Hall is thrilled Prevost, four time Canadian Country Music Association nominee and six time Saskatchewan Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year winner, has agreed to take part in the Humane Society’s fundraising efforts. The 2014 Western Canadian Music Award for Country Recording of the Year is also taking part in a fundraiser this month when he takes the stage with Garth Brooks in Saskatoon raising money for Saskatchewan’s Children’s Hospital. He’ll be doing another one in September at Anglin Lake. The Battlefords Humane Society’s Shelter-Us Building Fund is aiming toward a new building within the next five years – the sooner the better, considering the condition of the current building. The fund so far contains about $350,000, but the new building will probably cost $1.5 million. For the month of August, the Humane Society is running its “Who let the dogs out?” fundraiser to boost the building fund. “If someone gives a $50 donation, then the group of dogs, which we’re calling the ‘mob dogs,’ would be put on someone’s lawn of their choosing,” says Hall, who built the wooden dogs herself, based on the idea of the flamingos-on-the lawn prank.
Four lucky concert-goers will get to meet, share a meal with and be serenaded by country artist Codie Prevost next month as part of a VIP package being auctioned off by the Battlefords Humane Society. Photo submitted
Insurance against not getting “mobbed” is also available at the same cost of a $50 donation to the shelter. There are also prizes to be won, if anyone sees a mob of dogs on someone’s lawn, they can text their
name and address to 490WOOF (490-9663) to have their name entered into a draw to be held Aug. 31. Those looking to prank their friends and family can call the Battlefords Humane Society at 306-446-2700.
Young musicians plan local concert Staff Two young musicians from the Battlefords who are pursuing degrees at the University of Manitoba will be hosting a local concert this month. Cole Knutson and Jean van der Merwe will present Whither Must I Wander at Third Avenue United Church Friday, Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. “We are both very excited to get involved again in the arts community in the Battlefords for the first time in quite a while,” says Knutson. “After so much has changed in our lives it will be very interesting performing again in the same hall that we have performed in many times before.” They chose Third Avenue as their venue because it “has always felt like a musical home and so it feels right to perform there once again.” Knutson is pursuing a saxophone performance degree, which he plans to follow up with a master’s degree in collaborative performance. Van der Merwe is going into his third year at the University of Manitoba and is pursuing a classical music degree in vocal performance. Over the past couple of years he has performed with the Winnipeg Symphony orchestra in Handel’s Messiah and Haydn’s Creation as a part of the University of Manitoba Singers. Recently he performed in both The Pirates of Penzance as a part of the Gilbert and Sullivan Soci-
ety of Winnipeg and Life’s Lyrics, an original musical debuting in the Winnipeg Fringe Festival. Van der Merwe says he is looking forward to his final two years of his degree and the recitals and performances yet to come. Knutson says one of the main pieces they will be performing is Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel, which depict the story of a wanderer and his encounters throughout life and beyond. One of the nine movements is titled Whither Must I Wander?, which is the name they chose for their concert. “We chose this name because over the last few years Jean and I have travelled all over the world because of our careers and in a certain way we feel like the wanderer that is described through the words and music of the piece,” says Knutson. “To me, there are a lot of sentimental feelings that are attached to the piece itself and it is a real staple in the baritone repertoire, so it is only natural that we put it on the program.” This concert has come about for several reasons, including his experiences as a student of pianist Jaya Hoy. Knutson explains, “A really large part of my musical upbringing with Jaya was not only to practice and perform in festival. Jaya has always stressed that attending concerts is not only good for the musical mind, but it is a great way to meet people, share a common passion and, most importantly, to have fun.

Jean van der Merwe to town she started doing recitals in our area and she always encouraged me to attend and even help out if I could.” His university experience also plays a part in wanting to put on a concert in his home town. “When I started school at the University of Manitoba, I found myself completely immersed in the arts. Every day I either saw myself doing things like attending recitals, going to art galleries and seeing theatre performances,” says Knutson. “Coming back to the Battlefords from this amazing year I thought it would be a great idea to apply some of the wonderful knowledge and skills that I have acquired and perform in my home town as a homage to my wonderful mentors and the community which has always been truly supportive throughout my development.” Initially Knutson had planned to do a number of recitals on saxophone, which is the instrument
Cole Knutson of his major, but he found himself busy with travelling, especially since he was performing with the World Youth Wind Orchestra as part of the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensemble’s annual conference in California in July. “I have been very busy travelling and performing so those plans unfortunately fell through,” he said. One of those plans was to do a concert in North Battleford with Hoy, but she is currently out of the country, “As a result, I was put in a position; don’t do a recital this summer, or find someone who would be willing to collaborate and put on a great show.” He decided to give van der Merwe a ring and ask him if he would be up for singing in a concert with him. “I thought of Jean because we go to school together, he is a former North Battleford resident, he has a truly awe-inspiring voice, and I love the repertoire for the baritone voice.”

Knutson will be his accompanist. “Quite often people forget that I am both a saxophonist and a pianist. Right now I am pursuing a saxophone performance degree but I have full intent to get a master’s in Collaborative Piano,” says Knutson. “As a matter of fact, if the funds are available I have some engagements scheduled next spring and summer as a collaborative pianist performing in Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdome and Switzerland with a European trombonist.” He and van der Merwe decided to do a recital together performing works by Bellini and Brahms, and more famous works like the aforementioned Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel. “We also decided to add some solo piano pieces for some variety,” says Knutson. The concert begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22. Admission will be $15 for youth and adults, and $10 for seniors, which is 60 years and older.

Rain a boon to farmers, cowboys with green feed Another week gone, a little sun, a bunch of rain. Just what the doctor ordered to fill the crop. We think about two and a half inches. More rain than we have had all year. Of course nothing marked on my hoar frost calendar. This is very nice for a farmer but the cowboys will be stressing because first no hay and now they can’t get the little bit they have baled. Anyone with green feed should be happy as this is really going to make it come. There should be lots of green feed bales. I was south of the river and I noticed a field of wheat that the original growth was about three feet high. Second growth was about six inches higher and will be half of the crop yield. This crop is going to be late for harvest and there is nothing the farmer can do about it but wait. When I was farming I liked to grow that Columbus wheat. It was good stuff, could hold on in a drought, easy threshing. I liked the variety. It had one very bad characteristic. It just didn’t know winter was coming and would be
sending up more tillers and trying to make more wheat. One year we had a year like this, dry at first, then lots of rain. The Columbus wheat started to do its thing, lots of second growth. As harvest neared the end, I got antsy and thought I should cut it before a killing frost came along and ruined the grade. If you grew Columbus wheat, you were used to having to cut it a little on the green side so I swathed it, hoping the green would cure out. I was wrong. I had 85 per cent nice No.1 wheat and 14 per cent green. There was no way to get those green kernels out so the grain graded Canada Feed. For those with a similar problem today you have only one choice. You have to wait. Either the fall will be long and frost free and your wheat will mature or Jack Frost will come make it a Canada Feed. You lose nothing by waiting. Either the Big Guy will give you No. 1 or Jack Frost and Da Devil will make it Canada Feed. You must realize, you are not in control here. On the home front, things are going along in

Sandra Arias to be NDP candidate By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Sandra Arias will be the NDP candidate in Battlefords-Lloydminster in the upcoming federal election. That was announced in a media release Monday by the party’s riding association. Arias has won the nomination by acclamation, and the NDP federal electoral district association will make her candidacy official at their nomination meeting
in North Battleford Aug. 16, which will also serve as a campaign kickoff. She joins Conservative incumbent MP Gerry Ritz and Liberal nominee Larry Ingram as candidates in the race. Arias has a background as a small businessperson and community leader, and has lived in the riding for over 30 years. Currently, she works as director of operations for Sunchild Law Office. She
has held elected office previously as band councillor on Red Pheasant First Nation. In a statement, Arias laid out her priorities in the campaign. “We need to make our riding, our province and our nation a better place to raise children, build economic security and retire comfortably,” said Arias. “Providing our citizens with affordable childcare, training and employment opportunities, resources for mothers and
families, access to financing for small business and affordable housing for seniors are goals we all share, and goals for which New Democrats have always stood. I look forward to bringing the true voice of BattlefordsLloydminster to our nation’s capital.” With Arias’ nomination in Battlefords-Lloydminster, the NDP will have candidates in place in all 14 of Saskatchewan’s ridings. The federal election is Oct. 19.

the provincial level. Ingram’s nomination concludes what has been an at-times rocky candidate search process for the Liberals. The party’s original nominee, North Battleford city councillor Ray Fox, withdrew following a controversial social media posting in June. According to the news release, Ingram’s campaign office will be at 230 Main Street in Turtleford. With the Conservatives and Liberals with candidates in place, attention now turns to the New Democrats. They will officially nominate their candidate at a meeting Aug. 16 in North Battleford.

Border City ends Lloydminster’s NSRBL reign By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter
For the first time in six years, the Lloydminster Twins are not North Saskatchewan River Baseball League champions. Their Lloydminster counterpart, the Border City Blue Jays, came back from being down 3-1 in game two of the NSRBL finals, scoring four unanswered runs to win the game, and championship, 5-3 Tuesday night. After winning the first game of the series, the Blue Jays sent 2015 NSRBL MVP Steve Latos to the mound, looking to finish off the Twins. Latos was named league MVP after an outstanding season in which he recorded a 4-0 record with a miniscule 0.62 ERA and 61 strikeouts in just 34 innings of work. He also held his own at the plate, batting .459 with two home runs and seven RBI. After a lead-off single by the Blue Jays’ Landon Noyes, Scott Willis hit a hard liner to second baseman Travis Kusch, who quickly fired the ball to first to double-off Noyes and erase the lead-off hit. Latos was then hit by a pitch, followed by a single by Jason Fechter putting runners on second and third with two outs, but Matt Nielson grounded out to third to end the inning. In the Twins half of the inning, Latos dealt with control issues as he walked two batters and hit another. A lead-off walk followed by a sac-bunt and a strike out had a runner in scoring position with two outs. Another walk then a hit batter loaded the bases. Latos regrouped, however, and struck out Kusch to end the threat. The Blue Jays went quickly in the top of the second with a pop up to the catch followed by two strikeouts, both looking. The Twins got on the board first in the second, after a lead-off hit batter came around to score. Latos again had a man on second with two outs, but back-to-back singles brought home the game’s first run. An error by the shortstop Fechter loaded the bases with two outs, but again, Latos struck out the final batter to escape the jam with minimal damage. The Blue Jays continued to struggle offensively against Twins pitcher Steve Barbeur, as they didn’t hit a ball out of the infield in the third. Two pop ups and
a ground ball had the Twins leading 1-0 heading to the bottom of the third. Another error by the Blue Jays shortstop put Barbeur on base to lead-off the inning. After he stole second base, he advanced to third and later scored on a passed ball and a wild pitch to extend the Twins lead to 2-0. Latos issued two more walks in the inning, but struck out the final batter with runners at the corners to end the threat. Latos helped his own cause with a lead-off triple in the top of the fourth. A sac-bunt by Fechter brought him home to give the Blue Jays their first run. The Twins got that run back in their half of the fourth when a lead-off single by Owen Hill eventually came around to score after he stole second, advanced to third on a sac-bunt and scored on a passed ball. Hill would be the last Twins batter to reach base. Things were looking bleak for the Blue Jays in the fifth as the first two batters failed to reach base. A twoout single by Ruben Baker followed by Noyes reaching on an error had two runners on with two out. Willis then delivered the biggest hit of the game, as
he smacked a double down the third base line, scoring both runners to tie the game at three. After a 1-2-3 inning by Latos, including a pair of strikeouts, the Blue Jays came back to bat in the sixth, looking to take the lead. They showed how patient they can be at the plate, as the first four batters of the inning walked, bringing in the go-ahead run to make the score 4-3. Fechter, Nielson, Clayton Ermel and Rylan Urban all walked before the Twins made a pitching change, bringing in Pat Petman. Barbeur’s final line was 4.0 innings (plus four batters), four runs (two earned) on three hits and five walks with four strikeouts. Petman did exactly what the Twins needed him to do after coming into the game, as he got a double-play in which the runner heading for home and the batter were both out on the play. He then got Baker to ground to second to end the inning. The Twins couldn’t get anything going in their half of the sixth as Latos was in his zone, sitting the Twins down in order. The Blue Jays scored a big insurance run in the seventh as the lead-off batter,

who was hit by a pitch, advanced to third after Petman tried to pick him off at first, missing the throw. Latos once again helped himself out, as he smacked an RBI single to bring Willis home extending the Blue Jays lead to 5-3. The Twins had their final chance to mount a comeback in the bottom of the seventh, but Latos wouldn’t allow it.
After striking out Hill to begin the inning, he covered first base on a groundball by Troy Winterhalt to put the Twins down to their final batter. As he had done all season, Latos struck out Barbeur to end the game, and end the Twins run of sixstraight NSRBL titles. The Blue Jays stormed the field to celebrate with
their pitcher before lining up for the traditional post-series handshake. After receiving the championship trophy, the Blue Jays posed as a team while photos were taken by nearly a dozen people. Another season of NSRBL baseball is in the books, and this time the final chapter was written by Border City.

North Stars name captains for 2015-16 season By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter
The Battlefords North Stars officially announced their captain and three alternates for the upcoming season. All four players are from the area, with three being North Battleford products. Defenceman Kendall Fransoo has been named the team’s captain, taking over for another former defenceman in Michael Statchuk. “Kendall has played over 100 games in our league,” North Stars head coach and general manager Kevin Hasselberg said. “He plays with his heart on his sleeve, he’s going to stick up for teammates and he’s fearless. When it comes to his on-ice performance whether it’s during games or practice, he gives it everything he has.” Fransoo scored two goals and recorded 208 penalty minutes over 62 regular season and playoff games last year. Another North Battleford native, Connor Sych, was named one of the alternate captains for the club. “Connor had a great rookie season with us and I think he surprised a lot of people with his development curve,” Hasselberg said. “He simply got better every time he hit the ice. You know what you’re going to get out of him every game. He might not be a vocal leader but he going to lead by example on the ice and he’s not afraid to hold other players
accountable.” Sych scored four times and added seven assists in 46 regular season games last year before adding one assist in nine playoff games. He also represented the SJHL at the CJHL top prospects game in Oakville, Ont. Logan Nachtegaele is the third North Battleford native who will represent the North Stars leadership this year, and Hasselberg says his positive attitude is what makes him invaluable. “Logan is an inspirational leader,” Hasselberg stated. “He’s been through a lot in his life already, both on the ice and off it. He’s overcome some major challenges and a big reflection of him is his positive outlook on life. He surrounds himself with good people and he’s going to do everything he can to help those around him. He’s an easy player to look up to and role model yourself with.” Nachtegaele scored three goals and two assists in 37 games last year. The last member of the North Stars leadership core for this season in Glaslyn native Reed Delainey. Hasselberg had a strong comparison when talking about Delainey. “When you look at the skill level I think Reed is a player that brings a skill to the hockey team that is unmatched,” Hasselberg said. “I would argue that he’s one of the fastest players in our league, if not the fastest player. You look at a past player, Blake Tatchell, who

was a player who separated himself from others in the league and we expect Reed to make that same jump. He’s very confident in what he does, when you challenge him he doesn’t back down. When you watch him on the ice it brings people to their feet because you don’t know what’s going to happen.” Tatchell, another North Battleford native, spent three seasons with the North Stars from 2009-2012, winning SJHL MVP in his final year when he scored 42 goals and added 44 assists. He has spent the last three seasons playing NCAA Div. 1 hockey with the University of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves, finishing either first or second in team scoring. Delainey finished second in scoring on the North Stars last season with 15 goals and 17 assists in just 37 games. Like Tatchell, Delainey will play NCAA Div. 1 hockey at the Rochester Institute of Technology beginning in the fall of 2016. Though the four players are local products, Hasselberg says that wasn’t the determining factor in
Submitted Among the nominees to the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame to be inducted at a banquet and celebration this Saturday in Battleford is that of Wayne Commodore of Sherwood Park, Alta., formerly of Swift Current, into the Individual Category as a player. Wayne was raised in Val Marie in southwestern Saskatchewan in the 1960s. His early fastball experience led him to love the game. Wayne’s eye for baseball was drawn to Swift Current, a hotbed for senior baseball, with the thought of having the opportunity to learn about the finer points of the game from coach Jackie McLeod, Saskatchewan’s baseball icon. When Wayne came to training camp in 1966, he had never played baseball. He tried several positions, including pitching, but found his niche as an exceptional outfielder, preferring right field. He had an exceptional arm and good speed, the characteristics of excellent right fielders, the most difficult outfield position to play. His power at the plate was unmatched in the Southern Baseball League and Alberta Major Baseball League. He led both leagues in home runs on several occasions, while maintaining a top ten batting average. Major League teams showed an interest in Wayne, but his age, 25, and experience was against him. One such scout was Pat Gillick, former general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, who, at that time,

why they were named as leaders. “That certainly wasn’t the weighing factor. These are four individuals who have strong character. They’re goal driven, as all of our players are. These guys are
invested. I think it’s going to be a positive reflection on the rest of the room and these are players that guys can look up to and will perform for the right reasons. From a fan appreciation they’re going to give every-
thing they’ve got whenever they hit the ice.” Fans will have their first opportunity to see the 201516 installment of the Battlefords North Stars when the team hits the ice for the first time Aug. 31.

There were many memorable moments during the years 1972 to 1983, when Wayne played in the Alberta Major Baseball League including playing two Canadian Senior Baseball Championship teams and a finalist in another. Wayne also excelled in tournament baseball, like when he went 5 for 5, hitting four consecutive round trippers and a ground rule double against the highly touted Calgary Jimmies. Wayne Commodore had an amazing baseball career and he was proud of the fact that he had the opportunity to play for his country as a member of the Canadian National Baseball Team at the World Championship in Nicaragua in 1973. Wayne resides in Sherwood Park, Alta.

Gold in their inaugural year of 2012 and silver in 2014 in Winnipeg once again created a target on the back of the UK Royals. Although they didn’t capture the elusive fourth consecutive U21 provincial title, they still earned a spot at 2015 Western Canadian Fastpitch championships held in Surrey, B.C. Holding a roster that includes two thirdyear veterans in Kelsey Wildeman and Megan MacDonald, they were joined by second-year players Kori Herner, Ally Cey and Shelby Solomko. The remainder of the team was comprised of rookies Jessica Weber, Brooklyn Miller, Dacey Francis, Mackenzie Chorney, Rachel Mamer, Brittany Hauta and Kylie Walz. Only half of the coaching trio from the first three years remained in
Don Robertson and John “Huntzie” Klaehn. They were joined by Joe Cey and Brent Weber. Laura Stasiuk, from the Saskatoon Erical Eclipse, was picked up for the second year in a row to add to the team’s pitching power. These teams travelled to Surrey, B.C. as Sask. Team No. 2. The Royals lost only one of six and it was evident each game their play was becoming increasingly more focused and purposeful. The team was energized by an enthusiastic fan base that supported them throughout the round robin with the added vocal power of the Earl Grey Heat team and fans. The Royals squared off against the North Shore Avalanche in the 1 vs 2 seed playoff game, which happened to be the only team that had defeated them in round robin. A fired up Royals team came out to
play and play big they did, mercying the Av’s in five innings. This would send the Royals directly to Sunday’s final game. The Vancouver Island Bomb Squad laid a licking on the Avalanche, soundly defeating them and advancing to the final. There was a bit of a silence when the Bomb Squad slugged out five runs in the top of the first inning, however that was quickly erased when the Royals answered with two runs of their own. Royal’s pitcher Solomko, along with the defence the Royals were known for, did not allow another B.C. run. The Royals picked away at the lead until the game was tied going into the top of the seventh. Two enormous defensive plays left B.C. runners stranded without a run. There was great anticipation that the tide had turned as lead off batter Herner earned a walk. Chorney, up next, threw

down a bunt that advanced Herner to second base. Cey punched in a line single that gave Herner the space needed to race home for the winning run. After trophies, medals and photos were done the team headed down to the White Rock pier and made a celebratory jump into the Pacific Ocean. They also shared congratulatory texts, tweets and Facebook posts made from their fans back home. They were thrilled to see retweets of their success by Premier Brad Wall and MLA Victoria Jurgens. Other fans commented on the sportsmanship, and camaraderie the UK Royals throughout the weekend, as well as their level of play increasing with each game. It was a mixed feeling of jubilation and sadness for veteran Wildeman, who played her last year of eligibility in the junior level. She wrapped up her experience saying, “Coming home with
a gold medal around our necks made it that much sweeter for me as it is my last season as a junior player. “Our team has come a long way this season and I couldn’t be more proud of my team mates. “I am thankful for the opportunity to have played for such a wonderful, successful team over the years and have created memories to last me a lifetime. ” Coach Don Robertson said, “These girls played amazing ball. The team gelled and gained momentum in every game that was played. “At Westerns, you could see the momentum increasing as they advanced further into round robin. Playoffs showcased a team that played errorless ball. “This game was a complete team effort that included excellent pitching, outstanding defence and clutch hits.”
Better Plan
Better Life...
Coach Joe Cey said, “In the final, these girls did not lose focus and did an amazing job of chipping away at the early 5-0 deficit as they did not give up a run after that first inning. “It was great to see each player contributing their strengths. “Our team motto was ‘it’s amazing what you can accomplish when no one cares who gets the credit.’” There certainly has been a pattern created by the UK Royals and once this year’s winning celebrations subside, plans will be underway to build a team that can continue the UK Royal’s legacy. With only two graduating players, it is hopeful that the remaining core are able to return. Until then, the communities of Unity and Kindersley will celebrate the success of the UK Royals and their 2015 Western Canadian fastpitch championship win.

I have been image making all my life. My prime media of expression has been drawing, but I have also done textile printing, painting, lithography and assemblage. There are visual relationships and shapes that I continue to focus on. Once I begin to investigate an idea or image I see the same forms and shapes everywhere. The process of imagery manipulation heightens my visual awareness and appreciation of everything around me. I am particularly interested in the contrast of order or

structure and chaos or randomness in both nature and in human-altered environments. I also love to investigate the subtlety of shadow and light, the intrinsic qualities and beauty of materials and the interconnectedness of two- and three-dimensional space. For me art is a private, therapeutic and meditative activity.
Michael Brokop
Creating art has been an integral part of my being. I created works since I can remember, from creating illustrations for assignments in grade school, to taking art classes in high school and going to university and having been a part of a fourth-year graduating class in my third year of studies to become an art instructor. I have been a high school teacher, educational

administrator, university lecturer and curator prior to my current mask-making vocation. I have been rewarded with a compassionate wife, loving children, grandchildren and a few friends. Three years ago, while working as the curator of the Chapel Gallery North Battleford, I had the fortune of taking a weekend class on mask making. Now retired and never having spent much time on dimensional art, I embraced this new media with great therapeutic vigour and forged ahead in a two-year mask making exploration process creating some 90 masks. Some of this work was featured at Chapel Gallery with other mask makers, and in the Kerrobert Court House Gallery. The mysterious quality of masks complimented with the joy of fabrication has led me to creating wearable masks that have provided me with great satisfaction. It is exhilarating, joyful, painful and uplifting process that balances my life to accept getting older, understanding physical limitations and escaping to an inner self. Wearing a mask in itself brings out the hidden personality of an individual, brings forth a time to reflect deeper, be someone else or see things from behind a barrier of culture. My impulse and desire to create masks is overtly influenced by the histories of my identity and my desire to make myself visible, as all artists. The greatest joy is finding others who either admire your creations or decide to own a work created by you.

petition for teams to enter the Kansas City Royal. KCBS representatives flew in from the United States to perform their duties as head judges for the competition as well as teach a judge’s class Friday evening, 16 people took the class, some coming from as far away as Calgary, Alta. Students were taught the criteria for judging professional barbecue and each will receive a KCBS numbered badge that gives them the privilege of judging KCBS barbecue competitions. In many competitions, judging is fierce and there are waiting lists for those who want to judge. The barbecue showdown had six categories the teams could enter. All teams had to enter the four main meat categories to gain qualifying status for the Royal. These four categories were chicken, pork ribs, pork butt and brisket. There were also a Mystery Box Challenge and a People’s Choice, which were optional for the teams to enter. The overall grand cham-
pionship was awarded to the Arrowhead North team of White City. In second place, taking the reserve grand championship were the Saucy Dawgs BBQ team of Moosomin. Winners in each category were: chicken - Arrowhead North; pork ribs - Bear B Que of Outlook; pork butt - Gettin’ Sauced of Lethbridge, Alta., who received a perfect score in this category; and brisket - Big North BBQ of Blackfalds, Alta. In the Mystery Box Challenge, nine teams entered and were given Northern pike, purple beans and saskatoon berries. They had four hours in which to plan their meal, prepare and present it to a panel of six judges. Coming out on top was the Smokin’ Sowbellies of Peace River, Alta. The People’s Choice challenge was held Sunday only and visitors to Those Were The Days came to taste and vote for their favorite. Eleven teams entered this category and the clear winner after two hours of voting was Arrowhead North.

Couple more weeks to enjoy the pool By Sherri Solomko Correspondent
Mid-August just doesn’t seem feasible. In a few short weeks school is back in session, harvest will be underway and we will be talking about the summer of 2015 in past tense. As I am away at deadline time with our own daughter who is competing with her junior ladies’ team at Western Canadian championships, you’ll have to wait for next week’s column to get the latest updates on how the two Unity teams did that propelled their season past the provincial level when

Crops and pastures suffer from long spell of dry weather By Dorothy M. Mills Correspondent
Once again I have taken a long time to get my report into the newspaper. I have been in the Battlefords Union Hospital for a few days. How nice to see the winds pick up to blow out all the heavy thick smoke from the northern fires, and it did keep a few hot days away. Lots of big dark clouds were about the area, but we are sad to say there has not been any rain fall in the local area. There have been lots of showers all around the area where the clouds build up heavy and dark, but no rain. The crops are really starting to suffer. They all need rain badly. Just hope when the rains come it will not be too late to help them out. It’s so hard to believe in spite of all the dryness that there is a large amount of lovely big saskatoons and pin cherries on the bushes. There have been a few berry pickers about, but nothing like the past years. When there was a good crop of berries, there would be many pickers. The younger people are not so much after the berries like they used to be. I used to love to go berry picking, but cannot do it like I used to do in the good old days. I did have a neighbour lady and her children pick an ice cream pail for us. They were lovely big juicy berries and I made good use of them. I froze some for later on in the winter time. The hot days are hard on the wild fruit. It’s haying time if you can find enough to cut and bale for winter feed. There will be a shortage of feed this coming winter. The cattle pastures are starting to take a beating from the dryness. Some herds are being moved to new areas to feed. Watering holes are getting
aljennie low and some are dried up already. Some farmers are at the point that they have to do some culling and take the meat to the market to sell. Feed is not an easy thing to buy right now and is going at a high price per bale. Kim and Melody Dumont of Kindersley have been recent visitors with Stanley and Dorothy Mills and to look over their land close by. They also spent some time with their friends in North Battleford. Phil and Lorna Bater were recent visitors with Bob and Mary Bailey of Sonningdale. Phil Bater celebrated a birthday in mid-July. The family had a surprise birthday family get together at the farm. Those attending included Phil’s sister Gwenda Rondesveldt of North Battleford, Grey and Laurie Bater, Chantel
Bater of Bonneville, Alta., also Amanda, Dwayne and Cheryl Bater and some close friends of the family. The RCMP Musical Ride went over well at Fort Battleford after a big rain shower. It had to be delayed, but a lot of people sat in the rain and waited for it. Later in the week, the Saskatchewan Handcraft Festival started up at the Dillabough Centre in Battleford for three days. The annual Battleford Parade followed and was a good parade for a small town. That was followed by the fireworks. They were spectacular and many people came out to see them. There have been plenty of wildflowers along the roadside ditches. They all seem to be blooming so well. In some areas the wild
fire weed flowers are full of bright purple blooms. The wild marigolds have put on a colourful display. Some areas are lines of pink and white roses. A few popular Western Red lilies were spotted in the meadows in wet areas, but there are not so many this season. In my garden there seems to be a lot of different coloured butterflies. Now there seems to be a lot of grasshoppers about, and they are getting big and hungry. Haying is in full swing. Crops are all at different stages. Some early crops are nearing swathing stage, while some are going to be done up for cattle feed. There have been some rain showers, but will certainly help some things and a start for next year’s moisture.
nity News they qualified for a berth at the U16 and U21 Western Canadian fastpitch championships. Several players are in tryouts for winter training teams, 2017 Canada Summer Games and fall ball zone provincial championships. The end of swimming season is very near. Take advantage of the last week and days of the Unity Credit Union Acquatic Centre. I hear “float day” is coming up and that is a popular event. Take a minute to thank those lifeguards who looked out for our kids all summer as well as teaching them what they need to know for water safety and swimming skills. 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 the annual Candace Heitt Memorial Run. And folks, remember our seniors in our community. They may find the long, lazy days of summer lonely and lacking some of the
usual. Stop by the home of a friend, neighbour or family member who could use a little visit, or offer to help with some small tasks around their yard. Maybe offer to take them for a little drive or for an ice cream cone. In our busy lives, we can all take for granted those that don’t have the opportunity or privilege of getting around easily, or helpful friends or family nearby and sometimes days can get a little lonely. Enjoy my shorter version of our happenings in this column as soon enough, after a summer hiatus where life tends to slow down for many, we will be once again kicking things into high gear as fall always brings an abundance of activities and events that I am happy to report on. Coffee row folks – I haven’t seen these folks for a while between their summer vacations and ours, we haven’t had a chance to catch up on what is the latest on their topic tables, but I promise next column we’ll have everything that keeps these “rowers” reviewing the latest in our community. So you keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time …

Radisson hosts 94th agricultural fair By Lorraine Olinyk Correspondent
The Radisson and District 94th Agricultural Fair kicked off Saturday, Aug. 8 with a parade. Leading the way was Mayor Dave Summers riding in a buggy pulled by a team of Clydesdales and carrying the flags. The parade featured a wide array of colourful floats, horseback riders, vintage vehicles and decorated bikes. The Radisson rescue truck and fire truck brought up the rear. The slo-pitch tournament started in the morning with 20 teams. The results after Sunday evening playoffs were: On the A side, Problems But a Pitch Ain’t One (Kris Derbowka and company) won out over another Borden team, Unleash the Swags (Chris Anderson and company). On the B side, Wasted Wheaties outplayed the Old Stars. In the C side final it was the Back Door Sliders beating the Nuttings and, on the D side, Huge Jazz over the Rothenburger Family. Twin Lakes beat the Young Stars in the E side final and in the F final Sopha Kings defeated the Glitter Snatchers. The Vintage tractor pull had 38 entries and winners were: 4,000 lb. — first

The 12,000 lb. class, which had the most entries (10), was won by Nolan Loessin, who also won the Bernie Wilkie Memorial Trophy, and second was Claire Weir. Weir was one of three women competing in the classes. In the grain sheaves and hay class, Carter Amson of Radisson had 12 firsts and one second, winning the Don Harris high point special.

luck supper and social evening was held with former students from the 1940s and ’50s in attendance. Sister Victoria Hunchak of Toronto and her brothers Paul (Margie) from Saskatoon and Bill from Edmonton were present. The four Orchard brothers – Doug, Grant, Lyle and David — with their families were also on hand, plus many locals who grew up in the Halcyonia, Turtle Lake or Thistledale districts and are still living here – Daphne, Eric (Darlene) Pearce, the Penner family, David Horn, Lorne and Mary Hunchak, the Saunders, Les, Roy, Ron (Mary). Affinity Credit Union at Borden holds a 50/50 draw every month to raise money for a commercial oven in the Borden Community Hall. The winner for June was
Kim Grant of Norquay, $61, and for July Kathryn Dueck of Saskatoon, $65. A gathering of close to 80 was at the Sutherland farm Aug. 8 to celebrate a Century Family Farm Award and also Helen Sutherland’s 85th birthday. All of Helen’s and her deceased husband Don’s children, their spouses and families were on hand — Jim (Jessie) of Vancouver, Dawn (Ron) Morgan and Ian (Shelley) of Saskatoon, David (Michelle) and Glenn (Sheri) on the family farm at Borden, Kevin (Michelle) of Saskatoon, Anne (Lindsay) Westad and Scott (Sonia) of Borden. Also present were Don’s siblings – Marion (Cliff) Colburn of Delisle and Stuart (Ruth) Sutherland of Moose Jaw and some of their family. Helen thanked everyone
for coming and presented each of her family with Century Family Farm certificates. Many of Helen’s family – the Curries — were also on hand including three nieces from Ontario, brothers from Edmonton and Saskatoon and their families. Happy Birthday was sung to Helen and two large cakes – 100th Century Family Farm and 85th birthday — were cut and served with ice cream and saskatoon sauce. Jim read a poem composed by Theodore Griffin (Lorraine’s grandfather) on the occasion of Hugh and Gladys Sutherland’s wedding in 1926. A display was on hand of family farm photos over the years and photo albums depicting the years of the farm and Sutherland family.

ayfair News Most words are translated into our language in a song, because they listen to and sing the North American music. Women keep their maiden name when married. My sister Leona Tetz had Yolande, Cecile, and Bernice DenDooven stay at her house for five days, thus making this home base for them. These Belgian ladies are all first cousins to one another. July 27, Leona hosted a brunch for most of us first cousins to come and meet them. Unfortunately, some from British Columbia were not in attendance and Gail Mei from Meota was just getting over a surgery. It rained enough that we stayed indoors although it would have been great to mingle outside, as Leona and Bob’s yard is like a beautiful park. Their daughter Jaylene Miller and girls from Warman were also in attendance. Tuesday was country tour day as Marguerite Wintonyk and cousin Allan Nachtegaele drove them around. They toured Bernie (Lucille), Gregoire (my brother) and Dan (Donna) Baxter’s farms in the Hamlin district. Our parents, Joe and Irena Gregoire (nee Nachtegaele), started the home site where Bernie and Lou reside. The Baxters have a herd of elk. These animals always look so majestic, thus impressing the Belgium relatives. The Baxters’ is the homestead to my Auntie Marie and Uncle Howard, later on retiring to British Columbia. Next stop was at Dwayne Nachtegaele’s farm that Auntie Emma and Uncle Jules established many years ago. My mom Irena as well as Marie and Emma were all sisters and are deceased.

cabin at Murray Lake the next day for a potluck supper. Another daughter, Andrea, and her husband from Prince Albert gave pontoon rides. Only Yolande could speak good English, not to mention three other languages. She would often translate to her sisters, as they knew only a few English words. They are now staying in Saskatoon for two days with Cathy, Doreen Dudek’s daughter, to take in some big city life before departing home to Belgium Saturday. Prior to visiting their cousins, they did a tour of western Canada, which they thoroughly enjoyed In almost every report I write about a former resident who has passed away. Born in 1940, a retired Mayfair school teacher’s funeral was held Aug. 10 at Third Avenue United Church. Helen Alkier taught in Saskatoon, North Battleford and Mayfair. She has one brother, John (Wendy) Hunchak. Helen loved to garden and canned much of her produce. She was a topnotch cook and relatives and friends loved to be invited for a meal. When Parkinson’s disease set in, they moved to North Battleford and made many more friends. She has left many fond memories among peo-

ple and will be thoroughly missed. Aug.10 turned another page in Ann Ewanchuk’s life as she is now 87 years old and still participates in many activities. She and Uhan (deceased) were proprietors of Whitkow Hotel for many years. She is a resident at Valley View Towers in North Battleford. Get well wishes to former Alticane resident, Barbara Thompson, who has been a patient at the Battlefords Union Hospital for the past 10 days. When I stopped in to visit Barb, her daughterin-law Debbie said to say a big hello to everyone in Mayfair, as she used to farm there before moving to Battleford with her husband Michael and family. Debbie visits Barb often and Barb’s oldest son Richard from Mexico is here for a few weeks, as he is concerned about his mother. Barb’s husband Bob passed away four years ago. Harvest will be at least a week earlier than the past few years and many farmers are fine tuning their swathers and combines. The wheat crops have turned a golden colour already and farmers are eagerly waiting to get to work in their fields. Spring and autumn are the two busiest seasons for most farmers.

SULMEDOL Freedom from Lactose Intolerance
I
f you suffer from lactose intolerance, chances are you have experienced the uncomfortable and embarassing side effects that follow the consumption of dairy products. Chances are you’re familiar with the inconvenience of checking every food label or constantly taking lactose enzymes. Perhaps you have even chosen to avoid dairy all together, rather than pay the high premiums for lactose-free products! What you may not know is that SULMEDOL® can eliminate your lactose intolerance by reactivating your body’s natural production of lactose the enzyme that digests lactose. Imagine enjoying the unrestricted consumption of delicious and nutritious dairy food and no longer needing lactose enzymes. Some people lack the enzyme lactase, which is needed to digest lactose or milk sugar. Lactose

intolerance does not involve the immune system like a dairy allergy does. Symptoms of lactose intolerance can include gas, bloating, flatulance, stomach rumbling, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and even vomiting after the consumption of dairy products. SULMEDOL is a unique solution that can eliminate the need for digestive enzymes and allow you to enjoy diary food again. SULMEDOL is a unique form of the mineral sulfur, called sublimed sulfur. Sublimed sulfur (SULMEDOL®) is the first licenced natural health product (NHP) known to activate lactase production in your intestine and restore the ability to digest lactose. SULMEDOL provides elements that are necessary for normal genetic function and the reactivation of lactose production. Sulfer from SULMEDOL is also involved in the synthesis
Registered Nutritional Product Advisor
of the amino acid, cysteine. Placement of cysteine at specific locations in the proteins that are used to make the enzyme lactose allows for the proper 3 dimensional structure of the enzyme to be created. SULMEDOL takes in most cases just one bottle - a 50 day supply to restore lactose tolerance and allow you to enjoy dairy foods again. Results will vary for each individual depending on the severity of their condition. By taking just 1 capsule, twice daily immediately after meals, symptoms of lactose intolerance should begin to disappear - generally as soon as 2 weeks or up to 12 weeks. Finally, there is an opportunity to truly break free from limitations of lactose intolerance. Always consult your health care professional before starting any supplement program.

There is another addition to the Salisbury family in Mullingar. Congratulations to Julie and Jack Scott on the arrival of a bouncing baby boy, Trig James, born June 22. He is a little brother to two-year-old Georgia. Proud grandparents are Violet and Jim Salisbury, who can now boast of having eight grandchildren. Jack’s parents, who reside in Cape Breton, N.S., recently travelled to see the family. Sounds like Rabbit Lake’s Bunnock Tournament will be a challenge to the participants. This is a growing sport throughout the region in which many families participate as teams. Mark your calendar for Aug. 22, with registration starting at 9 a.m. and tournament proceeding at 10:30 a.m. The Rabbit Lake Museum committee will start the day with an egg, sausage and pancake breakfast. There will be a trade show, garage sales, flea market, games, face painting and free train rides to tour the village. There will also be great food. Visitors can create plaques by sawing off a piece of wood, personalize it and taking it home. The day’s events are sponsored by Rose Gill Lodge, Rabbit Lake Museum, the recreation centre and the library. My niece Shannon Gauthier from Saskatoon (formerly of North Battleford) sold many of her interesting paintings at the International Street Performer Festival in North Battleford two weekends ago. People that I know who attended really enjoyed this festival, so I am sure that in the future, it will become more known throughout the area. Shannon is on Facebook under Shannon Gauthier Art and has sold artwork as far away as California. She sets up at many events selling her
Their mother Sylvie and the Belgium relatives’ grandfather were sister and brother. Lunch at Doreen (Peter) Dudek’s was more like a large dinner, then off to tour the popular resort of Blue Mountain. Blue Mountain, formerly known as White Tail Resort, was established by their son Stan approximately 25 years ago. Stan and his family sold this business four years ago and now reside in British Columbia. En route to my place, we planned a quick stop at Pete, Nelda and Sharon Swistun’s near Whitkow to see cattle and horses to pet, and donkeys, llamas, chickens and pot bellied pigs. On the way to Dave’s and my place, they saw herds of bison in a couple pastures in the rolling hills. Dave and his brother Dennis have had bison for the past 20 years and also elk, but got rid of the elk four years ago. One of the last stops was to the famous Crooked Trees near Alticane. When we were there, a man from Winnipeg and four visitors from Blaine Lake stopped in. They then visited William and Marguerite Wintonyk’s farm to view the beautiful flowers, plants, and abundant vegetable garden. We were all invited to Marguerite’s daughter’s

art. Outside summer events are always more successful when the weather cooperates. Mayfair’s Ruby Rafuse was the ice cream lady at Those Were the Days at the Western Development Museum last weekend. It is a task she has been doing for many years. Two other women helped with the preparation of making ice cream. Butter was also churned by using whipping cream. Butter was served on small crackers and the audiences were educated on pioneer methods. The John Arcand Fiddle Festival near Pike Lake, a few miles west of Saskatoon, is one the music lovers will not want to miss. There are children as young as five years old bowing tunes like old pros. I am looking forward to at least one day this coming weekend. If you are a golfer and have never travelled to some northern points, then you are missing out. Try the golf courses at Chitek Lake, Blueberry Hill, west of Turtle Lake, Mervin and District, Memorial Lake and Spiritwood. I briefly attended part of a powwow in June at the Battlefords Exhibition Grounds. That evening was extremely cold, but it did not deter the great performances. I sat next to a woman from Moosomin Reserve and in conversation found out that her sister (last name Myo) and I were one year apart in high school at COCJ in North Battleford. This lady drives from Cochin to work on Red Pheasant Reserve. Three sisters, who are my cousins from Belgium, have been visiting. They saw a lot of relatives, visited different places and I am sure ate foods they do not have back home. We talked a little about music and I learned that although many do not know English, they do sing the English words in music.

Sore feet the cost of attending the fair Ed, my old neighbor from Saskatchewan, told me he went to Buffalo Days in Regina this summer. When we talked last, I told him we were planning to go to the Chilliwack Fair here, but my right leg was demanding attention. It seemed to be protesting my daily biking and extra walking. It was more than a little sore and I needed to coddle it. There was no walking at the fair this year for me. My old neighbour had to point out at my age I should know better than to be biking every day. He admitted after walking around the exhibition for a day his feet and legs were sore. He made a day of the
fair because he wanted to see the RCMP Musical Ride evening grandstand show and everything else he could take in. Apparently, he had never heard of Shawn Mendes, another headliner at Buffalo Days. Ed asked if I had heard of Shawn Mendes. Before I could answer him he said Shawn Mendes is another Justin Bieber type for teenagers. When I told him our fair had Platinum Blonde as a headliner, he asked if Platinum Blonde was a woman’s band. He knew better. People go to see the best of livestock and exhibits at the fair. They love the midway and food and the headliners who bring the
eighbourly Advice According to Ed

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca famous near enough to been seen live and in person. Fair attendants feel being a little foot weary is nothing compared with what they can see and experience at the fair. For many folks, walking among crowds of people is an exhilarating occurrence. Many folks came out
to see Jesus because of his fame as a teacher and miracle healer. People are always curious to see if what they have heard is true about someone famous. Many can become excited by fair performers, especially if they are the big-name headliners. Those folks want to prove for
themselves the famous are worth seeing. People have a great need to satisfy their appetite for excitement and inspiration by seeing how others perform. How others perform will be more about the spectator than the performer. What performers do can thrill us or depress us. What thrills and impresses me may anger or annoy you. What we see is about the thoughts and assumptions in our minds while viewing the person performing. Popularity for performers is never guaranteed as fans can disappear overnight. The crowd was great when Jesus entered Jerusalem as they waved palm branches and cel-
ebrated Jesus of Nazareth as their king. A few days later, the crowds called out for his crucifixion. Jesus hadn’t changed but what the people thought of him had changed. Jesus entered Jerusalem to die for all people whether they saw him as the Son of God or not. He came to fulfill the law perfectly for sinners and to suffer their punishment for sins on the cross. Many at his crucifixion and death thought he was a loser. They believed he should have come down off the cross to save himself. God is about saving others. Do we care most about saving ourselves while ignoring what others need?

OBITUARIES SMITH: Gary Leroy Smith was born on May 17th, 1940 at the family home of Bud & Pearl Smith in Mervin, Sask. He quietly slipped away on August 1st, 2015 while residing at the Pine Island Lodge in Maidstone. When Gary was young the family moved to North Battleford, then onto Glaslyn, and finally settled on the West Coast. He always enjoyed his cars, his ‘51 Meteor, and his ‘53 - 2 door coupe, to name a couple. He always fixed them himself. Being a true prairie boy, he was never really content in B.C., so he ventured back to his roots in Glaslyn, where he met the love of his life, Marilyn Ferguson. They married in November 1962. Their first two children were born in Turtleford; Sandra in 1963, and Dale in 1964. The following year, they joined Gary’s family back at the west coast. Barbara was born in 1966 in Abbotsford, BC. Every summer included a trip back to the Turtle Lake area to visit Marilyn’s family. Gary was always a lover of sports. Playing and coaching ball and hockey occupied his spare time. Gary was a scrappy hockey player, and always told Dale he needed one goal, one assist, and one good scrap per game. Gary was a truck driver at heart, hauling feed, grain, concrete, anhydrous, fuel, and oil at different stages in his career. His trucking career took him all over Western Canada from Vancouver Island, north to Alaska and the Yukon, south to High River, and back home to Lashburn. He was a travelling man and loved to roam, pulling the old camper trailer up and down the road. Ask Sandy about some of the wondrous back country roads they travelled and the endless supply of gravel that was needed. Black Mountain ranch was our favorite destination. Thirteen years later, in 1978, the family headed back to the prairies and settled in Maidstone. Gary carried on the tradition of trucking and travelling, and Gary and Marilyn enjoyed a trip to Finland and Sweden in 1984 to watch Barb play hockey on the international stage. Unfortunately his driving career was cut short in May 2001, when he suffered a devastating stroke while on the road. Marilyn cared for Gary at the Pine Island Lodge apartments in Maidstone for a few years until his health required that he move into Pine Island Lodge. Marilyn passed away in 2011 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Gary resided at the Lodge until his passing. He was always happy, upbeat, calling bingo, and four fouring everyone until his health would no longer permit it. He will be sadly missed by us all. Pre-deceased by his: Wife, Marilyn Smith; Father, Leslie (Bud) Smith. Survived by his: children: Sandra (Terry) Wiltermuth, Dale Smith, and Barbara (Christopher) Aitken; grandchildren: Tyson (Brittany) Buckley, Jason Buckley, Dustin (Karissa) Buckley, Lacy (Jody) Heidel, Lana (Josh) Regnier, Niomi Evenson Ryan Smith, Samantha Smith, Sean Aitken, Jenna Aitken; great grandchildren: Ben and Cam Buckley, Kayle and Korben Heidel, Hayden Regnier; mother: Pearl Smith; brother: Wayne Smith; and sisters: Sharon Shols, Maureen (David) Cooper. CARD OF THANKS Thank you to Marshall’s Funeral Home for the care and compassion as well as Ean Kasper for his words of condolence; to the Pine Island Lodge staff for caring for Gary all these years. Thanks to the Maidstone Legion members for carrying out the Honor Guard and the Maidstone Hospital Auxiliary Ladies for the lunch. A special thank you to our family and friends for your support during this difficult time. The Gary Smith family. ____________________________________________________

HELEN ALKIER (HUNCHAK): It is with sadness the family announces the passing of Helen Alkier on August 5, 2015 at age 75. Helen is survived by her loving husband William, brother John Hunchak (Wendy), brother in law Gordon (Fern), sisters-inlaw Margaret and Irene, numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Alex Hunchak; in-laws Ted and Johanna Alkier, and sister-in-law Ethel. Helen attended school at Mayfair, Saskatchewan. After one year of Teachers College in Saskatoon Helen began a 35 year teaching career that included schools in Hafford, North Battleford and Mayfair. On July 20, 1963, Helen married Willie Alkier and together they worked to setup a home on the farm near Alticane. Helen enjoyed her teaching and the farm life. It was through efficient planning and hard work that she was able to carry on teaching, gardening, sewing, travel, farm chores and acting as hostess for the many occasions celebrated at the farm house. Illness made it more difficult to carry on with the active role that she played on the farm and the community. Finally, it became necessary for Helen and Willie to move off the farm. A property was purchased in North Battleford and the new home was set up. It did not take long and the home became a little like the farm where Helen maintained her skills of baking, gardening and homemaking until her passing. A funeral service for Helen was held on Monday, August 10th @ 2:00 p.m. from the Third Avenue United Church with Reverend Frances Patterson and Reverend Fred Tinio officiating. Interment followed in Woodlawn Memorial Gardens. Memorial donations in memory of Helen Alkier may be directed to the Parkinson Society of Saskatchewan, 610 Duchess Street, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7K 0R1 or Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation Box 1358, North Battleford, SK S9A 3L8. For those wishing to leave a condolence you may do so at www.eternalmemoriesfuneral.ca. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Trevor Watts of Eternal Memories Funeral Service & Crematorium. Thank-you to: all the friends who helped carry her through the difficult times, to the Doctors and nursing staff at the Battlefords Union Hospital, to Reverend Patterson, Reverend Tinio and staff at the United Church and to Eternal Memories funeral home for all the arrangements.

Haying in the 1930s — heritage and charity By Carol Deagnon Correspondent
Mel Deagnon and Carl Ross were asked to play at Haying in the ‘30s on the August long weekend. Joining them was Randy Carl’s nephew and a guitarist who joined the group. We were also surprised to meet Lin and Jim Beaudoin at the event, Jim was singing and Lin was volunteering. The event was completely volunteer driven. Musicians and everyone who worked in the booths helped with the food and did whatever needed to be done. Back for its 16th year, Haying in the ‘30s is held on the August long weekend at the Mallaig, Alta. grounds.
aymont News In addition to the music you can also get a glimpse of what it was like to farm in the 1930s.

All donations go to help people with cancer. Events throughout the weekend include face painting, horseshoe demonstrations, old-fashioned farming demonsrations and

the beef on a bun dinner. After you’ve had a fill at the barbecue dinner, you were to put on your dancing boots and head to an old-fashioned hoedown. On Sunday morning there was an interfaith service for anyone who wanted to attend. The Maymont Library had 10 children who participated in the TD Summer Reading Club, a free program developed by Canadian public libraries. It was a great way to keep the kids engaged with reading. The kids can choose what they want to read, track their reading, interact with the website and connect with kids across the country. There will be a windup Aug. 28 with prizes, cookies, and beverages. The event will take place at the Maymont Library from 1 to 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Free at your library are DVDs, Blu-ray, new and popular books, online magazines and newspapers, ebooks and audiobooks. If you’re not a member of your local library please see your librarian to get more information.
Congratulations to Paula Chuiko and Jim McKnight who were married Aug. 8. The wedding took place in Waseca’s heritage church, Christ Church. Following the beautiful wedding, a reception was held in Waseca Community Centre. Paula and Jim are making their home right next door to the church. We wish them many years of happiness together. The last wedding to be held in Christ Church was in 1973 when Debbie Hinde and Jim Nosek made their vows there. Christ Church, the first church to be built in Waseca, was ready to be used in January1908, and was officially opened by the bishop, George Exton Lloyd. It served the community on a regular basis until 1979. A number of years ago it was designated a heritage church. Local volunteers keep the church cleaned and repaired. It is an ideal place to hold a wedding and the community was pleased that Paula and Jim chose to hold their wedding there. Seventeen children attended the mobile play-
aseca News ground activities held at the Waseca Community Centre July 30. It was thoroughly enjoyed by the participants who had a day filled with many activities — crafts, outdoor games, face painting and a noon pizza lunch supplied by the Waseca Recreation Board. All participants are looking forward to Aug. 14, when the second activity day entitled Under the Sea will take place. Members of the Sutherland family travelled to Vernon, B.C. to attend the July 25 wedding of Shane Sutherland and Janel Halowich. Shane is the son of Keith and Debra Sutherland. The couple will be making their home in Lloydminster. Congratulations, Shane and Janel, and our best wishes for many happy years together. Ted and Barbara McPherson, who are now residing at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., spent the last week of July with Ted’s sister Jean McPherson
and her husband Jim Maxwell. While here, all their children (Laura and Joe and their two children of Sault Ste. Marie, David and Carrie and their two children of Ucluelet, B.C. and their son Allan) were also able to visit. Ted and Barbara enjoyed a family reunion. Everyone enjoyed many activities, which kept them happy and busy. Jim and Jean’s daughter came home from Saskatoon to enjoy the week as well. One of the activities was a musical evening when members of the Yellowhead Ramblers were guests and were joined by some members of the McPherson family in providing music for everyone to enjoy. Bruce Sutherland of Gibsons, B.C. is presently a guest of Sandra Sutherland. He is hoping to assist Todd Hope with harvesting. It appears as though crops are ripening, but one cannot predict when harvest operations will begin. Happy birthday to Mark and Morgan Thomarat, who celebrated the event with a family barbecue at the home of Sandra Sutherland Sunday.

Library hosts appreciation barbecue By Lorna Pearson Correspondent
The Meota Library Board hosted a barbecue Aug. 5 for their support staff, which included the village and RM councillors, representatives from Metinota, volunteers, bingo workers, the village workmen, reporter and Martin from Cavalier Agro, who donated pallets for the storeroom, and to Robert Iverson for delivering them. The library board chairperson Juliette Tebay gave thanks to the board who help the librarian keep things running smoothly. A special guest for lunch was Lou Tait who had volunteered for 15 years at the library before moving to town. The present librarian, Debbie Pearce, has been here for 18 years and does a fine job working with councils and the people of Meota and surrounding area. The late Betty and Harold Steele were former residents of Meota and their children gathered at the Do Drop In on Saturday for a noon luncheon, following which they took the ashes of their parents out to the cemetery for
eota News interment. Family attending were Todd and Melinda and son Spencer from Good Spirit Lake, near Yorkton, Tim and Wendy from Emma Lake, daughter Pat Proudfoot from Penticton, B.C., Randy and Theresa Curry from St. Albert, Alta., and Larry and Sonia from Prince George, B.C. Unable to attend was son Robert from Nanaimo, B.C. and Pat’s husband. While it was a small crowd those who came had great visits with the family. So the family was able to get in some quality visiting among themselves as they don’t get together often and old times were laughed over and memories shared. Betty belonged to the Busy Fingers Embroidery Club and the sampler was brought from the library where it hangs, to show the family. She was also active in the Meota music circle.
Your plastic milk jugs and paper cartons can be delivered to Sarcan where the proceeds from their sale will go to Telemiracle. Keep this in mind before throwing them into the garbage. The burger bingo held in the community complex July 25, hosted by the hall committee, was a nice evening of family entertainment with the prizes being cases of hamburgers. Allie Raycroft was the caller and did a fine job and always enjoys getting back to Meota where she used to live. The work on the condos will be held up again as it resembles a swimming pool since we got nearly two inches of rain last week. The crops and gardens are very happy, but not some of the haymakers. There is some crop lodged from the rain and wind where it is the heaviest. The next Wellness Clinic will be held Thursday, Aug. 20, from 8:40 to10:40 a.m. at the Do Drop In. A precautionary drinking water advisory goes into place automatically any time the power is off for more

Duplicate bridge was played at the Do Drop In Aug. 4, with top scores going to Jerry Fernandes and Vern Iverson. Second high were Lucille and Bernard Gregoire and third were Margaret Dyck and Mary Greenwald. The concession stand at the beach reports a good run on ice cream during the warm summer days and that the Saturday morning pancakes and Sunday morning waffles are also popular. A trip for breakfast Saturday morning will bring you to the farmers’ market held nearby and opening at 9 a.m. The concession’s Fri-
day night special is fish and chips listed on their menu as Surf Turf. A birthday tea celebrating 85 for Bernice Tait and 90 for her husband Winston Tait will be held at the Do Drop In on Saturday, Aug. 15, from 2 to 4 p.m. Your presence and good wishes are your gift. Bernice and Winston are happily settled in Caleb Village in North Battleford since last year. Names on the walls inside the community complex are still being added to as memorial blocks to commemorate people who have lived or played here. They can be purchased at $50.

Kathy Saretzky and family have spent two weeks holiday at their Meota cabin, often with extra company. She spent a lot of evenings out on the lake, kayaking, which she loves doing. The Meota flu clinic will be held Oct. 21, 3 to 6 p.m., at the Do Drop In. The opening of the new fire hall was well attended by the public and appreciation of this was expressed by all. After opening exercises and lunch, a demonstration of the new fire truck was done by a couple of the firemen. A full report is being done by the Regional Optimist, so I enjoyed the evening off. Winners at contract bridge Monday evening at the Do Drop In were Joyce Luckey, first, and Gerry Craig, second high.
