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 drinking water advisory lifted By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Things are back to normal for City of North Battleford staff and water officials as the precautionary drinking water advisory has been lifted. The advisory, issued by the Water Security Agency on Aug. 11, was finally lifted at 12:10 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon following completion of water tests this past weekend from the distribution system. The results were negative for any contamination and those results were relayed to the Water Security Agency, who rescinded the advisory on Tuesday.

According to Kris Dushire, environment officer for the drinking water and wastewater management division, required samples from the distribution system have returned with acceptable results. The city can now return to its regular sampling intervals. The problems began last Tuesday at the F.E. Holliday No. 2 water treatment plant, where partially-treated water bypassed the water treatment processes and flowed into the treated water reservoir of the plant. F.E. Holliday is one of two water treatment plants for the city and is the surfacewater treatment plant, taking its water from the

North Saskatchewan River. The water quality alarms were sounded and the operations of the plant stopped immediately. That prompted the issuance of the precautionary drinking water advisory, as well as the commencement of flushing and other activities to prevent any of the water from getting into the distribution system. At a news conference last Wednesday at City Hall, City Manager Jim Puffalt indicated that in all likelihood the partially-treated water was confined to the water treatment plant. He also said additional water testing was taking place. At a city council meet-

ing Monday, Puffalt updated councillors on what had been going on at the plant. On Friday night they had received the water-borne parasites test results, which were “very revealing,” said Puffalt. “They showed there were parasites present in the raw water coming into the treatment plant, but the treatment plant was working as it was engineered to and it’s taken it out. The water coming out of the treatment is clear, there’s no parasites in the water. So that was good news.” As per the Water Security Agency protocol, additional testing was required and done on Saturday and

Sunday, and the City handdelivered those to the lab in Saskatoon Sunday afternoon. Those results were forwarded to the Water Services Board and Puffalt expressed confidence that the drinking water advisory would be lifted the next day. He also noted testing had been done since last week and “there’s nothing found in the water supply at all.” As city officials expected, the advisory was indeed lifted Tuesday. At Monday evening’s meeting of Battleford’s

Crime stats presented, increase noted By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Crime stats were still showing increases for 2015 in most categories, based on numbers presented at North Battleford City Hall Monday night by Staff Sgt. Darcy Woolfitt of Battlefords RCMP detachment. Increases were noted in several categories including property, persons, drug and Criminal Code offences. The good news was that both business and residential break and enters are down for the year, as is impaired operation of a motor vehicle offences. False alarms are also down, likely in response to city bylaw changes. For 2015, persons offences stand at 582 (up 96) business break and enters 13 (down 9), residential break and enters 41 (down 29), property offences 1390 (up 178), Criminal Code offences 938 (up 125), drug offences 98 (up 16), Liquor Acts 226 (up 8), motor vehicle collision 118 (up 15), provincial traffic offences 583 (down 143), impaired operation 127 (down 11), municipal bylaws 74 (down 2) and false alarms 291 (down 127 from last year). Total calls for service were 3,169, compared to 3,835 in 2014. The reduction is primarily due to changes in the manner that criminal record checks are being recorded by the RCMP as well as the greater role of the Community Safety Officers in issuing tickets. Woolfitt noted that property offences included not just damaged property but also intoxicated persons found in residences. Also, a lot of “Criminal Code” category offences involve re-

leases and breaches of conditions. Woolfitt said they are monitoring those as strictly as they can and that accounts for the increase in that area. He outlined a number of community efforts in which RCMP members had been active. Those include involvement in June in the Race for Kids with Battlefords Boys and Girls Club, another successful Cops for Cancer event, participation at the Good Sam Samboree, and other events. Members were also very active with the Boys and Girls Club, Battlefords Minor Hockey, and other activities in the community. Woolfitt acknowledged the release of the Crime Severity Index numbers for North Battleford this summer and pointed to a “significant decline” in all three

CSI categories. He pointed to the high level of mischiefs as contributing to the CSI numbers. While many were related to vandalism, it also included “police responses to calls for related intoxicated persons both in and out of residences. So that continues to be a number that affects our standing in the CSI.” Woolfitt noted a substantial amount of calls to Battlefords detachment involved individuals with addictions or mental health concerns, and pointed to the need for a multi-agency response and a long-term strategy to address those issues. He also noted that in the past year there had been a “fairly large realignment at the detachment” with streamlining of processes and improved service deliv-

ery. Woolfitt believed it was paying some dividends on the CSI. But Woolfitt cautioned “it’s just a year into this, and we’re going to have to keep moving forward with the policing plan that we have in place.” Councillors waded in with their own comments during the discussion that followed. One of the topics discussed was the issue of individuals entering vehicles to steal items or even drive off with them. City councillor Cathy Richardson recalled an incident in which she had left the door of her vehicle ajar, which she said provided an opportunity for vandals to get in and look through her items. Nothing was stolen. Still, this provided Woolfitt a chance to encourage people to call in and report such instances, even if nothing was missing, so that police could follow up. City Manager Jim Puffalt added car thefts are a huge issue in North Battleford. He pointed to stats showing that of RCMP jurisdictions in the province, 44 percent of vehicles stolen happened in North Battleford. Continued on Page 6

North Battleford has had a walk-in clinic for well over two years in the Co-op mall, 306-445-6040. This is in thanks to the quiet pioneering of Dr. André van der Merwe, Kim and staff.

Trump missed mark on health care By Jason Clemens VANCOUVER, B.C. — As is often the case in U.S. politics, Canada’s healthcare system was raised during the recent Republican debate as a functioning alternative to the U.S. model. But when front-runner Donald Trump described Canada’s healthcare system as working just fine, he was out of step with the facts. Canada’s high-cost healthcare system delivers only modest performance across most measures of healthcare. Put simply, it is not something to be emulated but rather avoided. In terms of cost, Canada’s system is among the most expensive among the OECD countries that provide universal access to healthcare, after adjusting for age. This latter point is important, since demographics are a key driver of healthcare costs. Data for 2011, the most recent year available, shows that Canada’s healthcare system was the second most expensive (measured as a share of the economy) among 27 OECD countries with universal access. The cost of Canada’s healthcare system would be less worrying if it was deemed to be high-performing. On measure after measure, however, Canada’s performance is middling at best. A central problem in Canada’s healthcare system and a driving force for reform are wait times for medical procedures. The latest data for waiting lists indicates that in 2014 Canadians could expect to wait 18.2 weeks for treatment after seeing a general practitioner, which is 96 per cent longer than they had to wait in 1993. Such wait times are three weeks longer than what physicians consider clinically reasonable. In a comparative sense, Canada’s wait lists are among the worst

in developed countries. According to the Commonwealth Fund, Canada ranked dead last on most measures of timeliness of care (behind 10 other countries, including the U.S.). Only 41 per cent of Canadians were able to get an appointment the same day (or next) when sick, compared to 76 per cent in Germany. Further, 29 per cent of Canadians waited two months or more for a specialist appointment while only 3 per cent reported such waits in Switzerland and the Netherlands. There are also worrying statistics regarding Canadians’ access to medical doctors and technology. For instance, among OECD countries with universal access, Canada ranked close to the bottom of the pack for availability of practising doctors per thousand population (25 of 27), and below the OECD average for availability of MRI scanners per million population (16 of 24). Health care reform is a central policy consideration for most industrialized countries both because of its cost to government and citizens and perhaps more importantly because it is a highly valued, personal service that citizens care deeply about. Successful reforms are premised on accurate information. Contrary to Trump’s claims, Canada’s healthcare system is neither high-functioning nor provided at a reasonable cost. Rather than a model for reform, it is an example of what to avoid.  Jason Clemens is executive vice-president and senior health economist at the Canadian-based Fraser Institute. www.troymedia.com

The return of Dr. Jim Pankiw. He’s back. Again The other day I was looking up some information on the Elections Canada elections.ca website when something jumped out at me. Dr. Jim Pankiw. He’s back. Again. Pankiw had been a Reform member of Parliament for SaskatoonHumboldt, elected in 1997, then the Canadian Alliance in 2000. Things went off the rails with him, to put it mildly, in 2002 and he ended up becoming an independent and was defeated in 2004.

vative Gerry Ritz’s 16,491 and NDP Elgin Wyatt’s 4,829. Let’s just say Pankiw’s approach was, well, different. Let’s just say he likes to talk about race, specifically First Nations, a lot. This is why it was quite remarkable that, after having been rejected by the Canadian Alliance, and then the voters, multiple times, he’s back at it once again, but with his own political party, no less. Elections Canada has the Canada Party registered as a political party. It became eligible on Feb. 2, 2015. The leader is listed as Dr. James K. Pankiw. Its national headquarters is in Saskatoon. The web site is www.canada-party.ca. It’s not a bad looking website except that it provides essentially zero information about the party. There are clickable areas for fiscal responsibility, constitutional change, equality, democratic accountability and justice reform, but nothing actually appears on the screen. To get anywhere you need to download the “Gold Book,” a 16-page book full of quotes from Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and Plato. Canadians all, right? No, wait, there are three Canadians quoted: Mel Smith, Stephen Harper and, thankfully, one from Jim Pankiw himself. Here’s what he had to say, on June 2, 1997. “It is not possible to discriminate in favour of someone on the basis of race, without simultaneously, and unfairly discrimininating against someone else because of their race.” The closing page before asking for money says, “Canada Party – We believe in EQUALITY of all people. Stop ALL RaceBased Privileges! Don’t allow our children to grow up as second class citizens.” While the platform has a little bit of meat to it, here are the first few points, un-

der the heading of Indian Affairs. “a) People of Indian ancestry will be full and equal participants in Canadian citizenship, indistinguishable in law from other Canadians. “b) Private ownership of their home and land. “c) Abolition of the treaties is long overdue and equality of all Canadians is due. These unconscionable documents of peace and surrender were made generations ago. They have resulted in a racially segregated society by conferring special racebased rights and privileges on people of Indian ancestry. “d) Racist documents have no relevance in a modern society. The Canada Party’s vision for the future is to place the current racist system (separate classes of Canadian citizenship based on ancestry) firmly in the past.” Then he’s going to take a whack at the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. “a) The Canada Party will interpret the equality guarantee in Section 15(1) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as mandating equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome. Section 15(2) will be removed, thereby ending discriminatory race and gender-based hiring

policies in favour of meritbased hiring.” Under the fiscal responsibility heading, the platform states, “1. Eliminate special tax-free status and government handouts on the basis of race.” Other issues, like agriculture, labour, pension, senate, recall and referendum, much of it looks like it was taken from the old Reform policy handbook. There are also some get-tough-on-crime notes. Marijuana would be heav-

ily regulated and taxed. It makes for interesting reading. The document is dated Nov. 4, 2014, so he’s been thinking about this for a while. I wonder how much play he’s going to get in the media this time, and how many votes he’ll get. If nothing else, Jim Pankiw does not give up. Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News.

Safety audit prompts 16 recommendations By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The results of the Community Safety Audit conducted around the Battlefords Union Hospital area this year have been released. They were presented to city council Monday night by the audit’s facilitator Aubrie Boyer. The safety audit was an initiative of the City of North Battleford working jointly with Battlefords Tribal Council and the RCMP. An initial meeting was held May 6 in which 25 people attended, and the audit was conducted on May 21, 22 and 23. The focus was on the area concentrated around Battlefords Union Hospital and Connaught School, known locally as the “east side.” The audit area included the area from 106th to 109th Street and 9th to 12th Avenues. The area was selected due to a high incidence of crime in that vicinity. The idea was to come up with recommendations to prevent crime, said Boyer, but also to “increase the feeling of safety of crime. A lot of the time, perception is not the same as actual crime numbers.” The audit used the principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design, which looks to changes in the environment in order to reduce crime and promote safety.

Booklets were filled out by community members and “users of the space” on such things as sightlines, lighting, bushes and so on. Findings included the following: The feeling of safety depended on the time of the day. Boyer said many people commented that they did not feel safe in the area at night but felt fine during the day. General comments included, “run down, dirty, unkempt, overgrown, scary, older, unsafe.” Yet it was also noted, Boyer said, a certain block of 106th Street was consistently described as well-maintained and safe. “So it just proves that you have one block that you feel very unsafe in, and then you go two houses down and across the street, and the feeling is completely different,” she said. Some sixteen recommen-

dations were put forward. Boyer said many of them focused on maintenance of set environments, including trimming bushes and trimming trees around the lights, for example. The other recommendations had to do with dealing with the number of vacant blocks in the area, as well as recommendations for a public art program and creating more activity around the school area. Boyer also said there was a bit more communication needed between bylaw enforcement, RCMP and the community. The report was welcomed by councillors including Greg Lightfoot, who commented that “when I went through it, what I realized was just a lot of little things that could be done with regards to the environment that could make a huge difference.” He noted he had gone around the area and noticed some streetlights were completely blocked by trees. “It does create an unsafe atmosphere,” said Lightfoot. Even in his own neighbourhood, he commented, there were some streetlights that could be more visible. The City’s community

safety coordinator, Herb Sutton, commented later about the Community Safety Audit in delivering his monthly report. “I think we’ve learned

some things as we’ve gone through the process,” said Sutton. He also believed some of those things could be applied to the downtown.

Downtown went through its own Community Safety Audit last Thursday as part of the work going in towards developing the Downtown Master Plan.

Pigeon Hotel expected to come down this week By John Cairns

The original tender had been awarded to Ken and Terry’s Demolition earlier this summer, but they later withdrew citing other commitments. Silverado was the next lowest bidder and had indicated they could start work immediately, according to an Aug. 7 memo from City Clerk Debbie Wohlberg to council. Administration had earlier received council’s approval to proceed with awarding the tender to the lowest bidder so the work could start immediately. Puffalt indicated to coun-

cil that work has already started on the interior of the buildings. That was evident this week, as the broken and boarded-up windows had been removed and demolition equipment was already on the fenced-off property. While the memo to council indicated the building exterior was expected to come down in early September, Puffalt told council Monday that demolition was proceeding ahead of schedule and that the buildings would come down this week. At press time, the buildings were still standing.

Aug. 14 at approximately 11:05 p.m., Onion Lake RCMP received information regarding a possible hostage situation after threats were made at a residence in Onion Lake. Onion Lake RCMP entered into a pursuit with the suspect vehicle in the Onion Lake area which ended in the Rural Municipality of Frenchman Butte. Four adult male suspects from Onion Lake were taken into police custody. Garth Swiftwolfe, 18, Curtis Littlewolfe, 25, Joel

Fox, 21, and Elijah Dillon, 24, have been charged with several Criminal Code offences including flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, resist arrest, assault with a weapon on a peace officer, uttering threats, impaired operation of a motor vehicle, public mischief, and failing to comply with conditions of an undertaking. The suspects were remanded for Saskatchewan Provincial Court in Lloydminster. RCMP members from Onion Lake, Turtleford, St. Walburg, Maidstone, Lloydminster, and North Bat-

tleford Police Dog Service attended to assist with the investigation. Neither suspects nor police were injured throughout the investigation. If you have information regarding this or any other crime, please contact Onion Lake RCMP at 306344-5550 or if you have information and you wish to remain anonymous in your reporting, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477), submit a tip via their website: http:// saskcrimestoppers.com/ or text in a tip: TIP206 + your tip to CRIMES (274637).

Continued from Page 2 Puffalt described many of these as “crimes of opportunity.” “People are joyriding and looking for vehicles with keys in them,” said Puffalt. He encouraged people to take steps to protect themselves by locking vehicles and taking valuables out. In related policing news, the City of North Battleford received correspondence back from Brenda Butterworth-Carr, com-

manding officer of F Division, in relation to the City’s desire for a Service Level Agreement with the RCMP to accompany the Community Safety Officer program. Her response indicated the RCMP was working with the province on developing a Service Level agreement or Memorandum of Understanding, and “considers this to be a priority.” “Although the CSO program is a provincial initiative and is independent of

the RCMP, it is realized that there is a need for the RCMP and Province to co-ordinate aspects of this program. The RCMP supports the implementation of the CSO program and will continue to work closely with the Province moving forward,” she stated. Mayor Ian Hamilton indicated he was satisfied by the response, calling it “very positive for us,” adding they would work towards getting that done.

Staff Reporter

The infamous pigeoninfested properties at 11th Avenue and 102nd Street are coming down this week. That was the word from North Battleford City Manager Jim Puffalt at Monday night’s city council meeting during discussion of the awarding of the tender to demolish the longtime rundown buildings at the location. The tender has been awarded to Silverado Demolition Inc. in the amount of $194,000 plus GST.

Downtown safety audit conducted

Several volunteers with clipboards took to the streets of downtown North Battleford on Thursday in the afternoon and evening. The reason was to conduct a sowntown safety audit. Crosby Hanna and Associates, in conjunction with the City of North Battleford, facilitated two audit sessions that day. One was a daytime audit from 3 to 5 p.m. The other was an evening audit from 7 to 9 p.m. The audit was conducted as part of the process in creating a Downtown Master Plan, with which Crosby Hanna and Associates have been involved for some time. The goal of the safety audit was to gather local knowledge to identify peoples’ perceptions about the downtown. The idea is to get feedback from people about how they feel when they are walking in that area – including both was good and bad experiences. The audit was led by Elisabeth Miller out of Saskatoon, who was hired as a contractor for the Downtown Master Plan by the city. During the session last Thursday, volunteers marked a map to indicate particular areas in which they felt safe or unsafe. Then, with clip-

look for specific aspects of the park area that made them feel safe or unsafe. They then

moved on to other parts of downtown. According to Ryan

Mackrell, planner with the City of North Battleford, the group did a walkabout of

the entire downtown area, walking down 100th Street, through back alleys, around

the Lighthouse area, and throughout the core. The volunteers were split

into two groups, who complied information about what they saw and experienced as they walked around. “As you do the audit you have a booklet in front of you that asks you certain questions about how you feel, what you think the lighting is like in this space, is the area dirty, things like that,” said Mackrell. The sessions were well attended, with 21 volunteers for the afternoon and then another 21 in the evening session. Turnout was higher than expected and it was a diverse group, which was important when it came to getting feedback as to how people felt in an area. “I might feel safe in an area, where you might not, just depending on your background,” Mackrell said. This particular Downtown Safety Audit was different in purpose from the Community Safety Audit that was conducted around Battlefords Union Hospital area earlier that year. While the focus of that audit was crime prevention, the results of this one go into the overall planning for the entire downtown area. Crosby Hanna and Associates is still in the process of developing the Downtown Master Plan for the City. Recommendations will come out

of the safety audit results, and Mackrell suggested those could include tree trimming in certain areas, the holding of community events, and so forth. All the data will be compiled and included in the final master plan report that will be put together over the coming months. Mackrell said a draft report should be finished sometime this winter, at which point it will be presented to the full council, with implementation of the report’s findings to begin next year.

An artist’s reception was held at the gallery last week, attended by fellow artists, quilters, friends and family (including grandchildren).

Hochbaum says, “The whole show is about my bout of depression and going into it and through and out of it.” Her love of art, especially fibre art, was instrumental in her recovery.

Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame dinner By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter

“We may not have won many games, but we never lost a party.” The quote of the night went to former Saskatoon Outlaws manager Peter Fylyma when accepting the plaque for the team’s induction Saturday night. The Outlaws were one of the 18 inductees into the hall over the weekend, which included players, teams, communities and families. After a two-hour social period in which all in attendance reminisced about past games and shared stories, everyone was ushered to their seats by master of ceremonies David Dekker. The individual category inductees where then paraded in to the sound of bagpipes, played by Jim Ramsay, while everyone in attendance stood and applauded. A moment of silence was then held for inductees that have passed away since last year’s induction dinner. A toast to the queen was delivered by Gil Bellavance before Bill Gergely said grace. After dinner, Battleford mayor Derek Mahon took to the podium to welcome everyone to the ceremony. “A big thank you to Jane Shury and all the organizers who put on this event, one of the largest events the Alex Dillabough Centre hosts every year,” he said. This year’s guest speaker was Brian Keegan, who played from the 1950s to 70s, but was involved in Saskatchewan baseball until the 90s. “I think it’s just fantastic to have over 400 people all together in one room,” he said. “Some of you may have been dragged here by baseball enthusiasts, but you’re here anyway, and we’re going to talk a little baseball.” Keegan began by speaking to the memories that can be brought up when bringing together that many baseball minds. “A lot of stories were talked about, but not a lot of strikeouts were mentioned,” he said as the crowd

laughed. “Nobody committed any timely errors in the field, we started out the evening as .300 hitters and ended the evening as .400 hitters.” The importance of baseball in Saskatchewan cannot be overstated, Keegan said. “I think all of the inductees are incredibly proud to be a part of the storied history of baseball in Saskatchewan. Every time you go into the Hall you find new stuff. As a matter of fact, Jane had to chase me out last time I was there because I found something at the last minute. It really reflects the cultural aspects of Saskatchewan that small towns were really the hotbeds of baseball, and a lot of the best players came from those communities.” Being at the podium gave Keegan the chance to discuss his own experiences playing baseball in Saskatchewan. “I remember one of my first year’s playing, Indian Head had a great big sports day, and when we were playing a game, the umpire just stopped the game,” he explained. “There was a horse racing track around the ballpark, and he told us we weren’t allowed to leave the field to go and place bets. “The legendary Satchel Paige came to work in the prairies and made his head base in Spy Hill. He would tour to different parts of the province and play some of the teams in Swift Current and Moose Jaw. I had the opportunity to bat against him nine times, and I never got a hit. I was at bat once and one of his teammates came on to pitch and I heard (Paige) say to him, ‘he can’t hit the deuce,’ and he was right. That’s why I never got a hit off him, because he had such a good curveball.” Paige was a five-time Negro League all-star, two-time MLB all-star and World Series champion with the Cleveland Indians in 1948. He is the oldest player to ever debut in the Majors when he made his first appearance at age 42. He was also the first player from the Negro leagues to be inducted into the baseball hall

of fame. The inductees have had experiences with each other as well, as Keegan explained. “I remember one such instance when we were playing in the Lacombe tournament, and we had already lost out,” he began. “We were sitting in the stands and Wayne Commodore was playing for the Edmonton Tigers. His first time up he hit a home run, so the person sitting next to me says, ‘bet you $50 he can’t do that again.’ Next time up, he hit a second home run, so the guy says, ‘bet you $100 he can’t do that again.’

scribe here it might be amazing that’s continued,” he began, to uproarious laughter. “When we went on our honeymoon, and in my mind the Lacombe tournament was a major, major tournament to play in. My wife says, ‘you know, we have some nice presents we haven’t opened yet,’ so that had us going back to Moose Jaw and she opened the presents, and I went to the Lacombe tournament. Thankfully we went on to win that tournament.” To people who don’t play

ew Horizons Golf By Bernie Meisner

Monday Aug. 17 was a bright and sunny day. Twenty-eight members of New Horizons participated in this week’s scramble. The team of Don Murray, Karl Palm, Faye Carson and Bruce Dalshaug won first place on a countback. Coming in second with an identical score was the foursome of Don Dill, Ralph Soiseth, Bernie Meisner and Merv Zulynik.

The consolation was taken by Lyle and Jutta Whitbread, Sid Waters and Rita Peterson. John Chomyn was closest to the pin on hole eight. We are still attempting to determine the winner of the longest putt on hole nine, as the marker had been removed prior to the end of the game. New Horizons’ next game is Monday, Aug. 24 at 9:30 a.m.

the game, baseball might seem like a commitment that takes up your entire summer, but Keegan says players don’t see it that way. “Some people say you’re really making a lot of sacrifices,” he said. “Playing and practicing in the evenings, playing in tournaments and things like that. I didn’t feel that way, that was a significant part of baseball for me. When you look at summer, the best days are played in tournaments.” Continued on Page 14

2015 Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony never more evident than it was before a game Keegan was playing in years ago. “We had a game on Sunday and it was raining heavily,” he said. “We were out socializing, some people

might call that partying, but it continued to rain and we thought we aren’t going to be playing for sure. Finally we left and we were heading home but we thought we’d go check the diamond first. I’ll

tell you, there were puddles at all the bases, the dugouts were basically flooded and there was no way there was going to be a baseball game the next day. They called me at 10 a.m. the next morning

and said, ‘the game’s on, where are you?’ They put gasoline on the field and burned it off, they pumped out the dugouts and on a hot summer day it would dry off fairly quickly, so we

were ready to play that day.” One by one the 2015 inductees were brought to the front of the room, while a short biography was read highlighting their accomplishments in the game of baseball.

Golf and Conference Centre in Cochin, Saskatchewan and President of the Canadian Golf Superintendents Association (CGSA) was in Toronto, Ontario from July 22 to 24 to attend CGSA related events and meetings in conjunction with the RBC Canadian Open. Thursday July 23, Kyle attended an event hosted by the Georgian Bay Golf Superintendents Association at the Midland Golf and Country Club in Midland, Ont., approximately two hours north of Toronto on Georgian Bay. Kellgren was joined by the President of the Ontario Golf Superintendents’ Association, John McLinden. Wednesday, Kellgren paid a visit to the Toronto Golf Club and superintendent Al Schwemler. The

Toronto Golf Club is the third-oldest club in North America. It boasts a superb 18-hole, Harry S. Colt designed course as well as a nine-hole, 2400-yard par 33 practice course designed by Howard Watson. The National Allied Golf Associations (NAGA) met on Friday morning to conduct its Annual General Meeting and to meet with the Presidents of the six national golf associations that make up NAGA. As part of the NAGA Presidents meeting, Kellgren received updates on the organization’s strategic plan, three year budget estimates, national tax fairness lobby status and the activities of the other five national golf organizations. Kellgren then hosted a media conference in

the Shaw media centre to present the CGSA National Tournament Program (NTP) plaque to Angus Glen Golf Club superintendent Andrew Gyba to recognize his work in hosting our national men’s Open Championship. The NTP is a CGSA initiative which recognizes member superintendents who host tournaments of national significance. Recognition

of the profession and its members is a key component of the CGSA’s mandate. Earlier in July, Kellgren had represented the CGSA at the John Deere Classic in Moline, Illinois. There he had the chance to experience a PGA Tour Pro Am when he joined a team of Canadian superintendents and Canadian PGA Tour pro Roger Sloan to take part in the pro-am event.

Kellgren was able to reconnect with Sloan in Oakville at the Angus Glen venue and follow him for a few holes on Friday afternoon. Kellgren’s next official duty will be to chair the mid-term meeting of the CGSA in Jasper, Alberta in September when the board of directors will be meeting with consultant Don Barclay to discuss plans for a redesign of the national superintendent association.

The three-day Territorial Days fair was brought to a close with a smashing finale, the demolition derby. The grandstands were completely packed as Battlefords residents came to see some destruction Friday evening. The derby consisted of multiple heats with winners receiving a direct bye to the final event. The big winner was Del Lennie, who won for the fourth time in five years, with the $2,000 prize. For the first time in the derby’s history, a female driver was awarded the Most Aggressive Driver, given to Jenny Bernier. Photos by Craig Beauchemin

Regular contributor to newsoptimist.ca not really what happened. The only thing left of the old auger is the top end, the bottom end and the flighting which was replaced in places, too. It was more like building new. He has got some paint from Keranda and the auger is now shiny black. No one will ever expect it started life as a Mayrath. I have bought another welder and have wired in a plug at the elevator. Ty is going to build some walkways up beside the pelleter so we can get around. This welder is going to stay at the elevator as we seem to always be fixing something there. There will have to be provision made so this welder doesn’t blow away in the night like a lot of my scoop shovels, goose necks and pipe wrenches that have

gone missing. On the planning list for next week is mounting the deer killer bumper on the new truck “again” and get the almost new shiny black Mayrath mounted in the elevator to get grain from the elevator bin to the air seeder hopper that I have above the grinder and pellet machine. Things don’t always go according to plan, especially in 30-plus weather. On the election trail, in the Battlefords Lloydminster riding, Conservative Minister of Agriculture, Gerry Ritz now has competition. To start with, there was no one running in opposition. Now there are two others. Larry Ingram, long time Liberal supporter, has put his name forward to run as a Liberal candidate in the

his personal charisma. He doesn’t seem to have any firm policies but I shake my head when I see both Harper and Mulcair attacking him. Is he a threat? Things I would like to see discussed in this election are “What happened to farmer’s equity in the Wheat Board? How will a government make transporting our wheat, barley and canola more of a priority? Can some government not get just one pipeline even, to get this product out of here? Can I as a farmer get some protection from the international parasites that want total control of the weed sprays I can buy, the seed I must buy, the seed treatments, the works?” Joke of the Week from Bev Stewart with some editing by Vic: Little Johnny was always in trouble. When he grew up he was still always in trouble. One night he went into a bar and the only other customers were three large ladies. After listening to them for a few minutes, Little Johnny says to them, “By your accent you must be from Scotland.” “We are from Wales,” they said. Says smart-aleck Johnny, “Oh yes, three large whales from Scotland.” It was three days before he woke up!

Oil of Oregano

ippocrates, the father of scientific medicine, used oregano to prevent infections and treat stomach and respiratory ailments. This culinary herb, central to Mediterranean cuisine, has been receiving renewed scientific interest. Hundreds of studies have identified its active ingredients and confirmed their powerful synergistic effect in killing bacteria. Recent research has also discovered that oil of oregano has other powerful healing qualities. It is effective against yeast, parasites and even so-called “super bugs”. It is a potent antiinflammatory and antioxidant and can reduce the risk of several degenerative diseases. The safety and effectiveness of oregano oil has been demonstrated by thousands of years of traditional use as a herbal remedy. Now, modern science confirms oil of oregano as an important natural health supplement. The antibacterial effects of oregano oil are likely due to its ability to penetrate cell membranes and disrupt their integrity. Studies

Registered Nutritional Product Advisor

have shown that if bacteria cells come into contact with oregano oil or one of its active ingredients, carvacrol or thymol then fluids leak out of the bacteria. The pit inside the bacteria also becomes more acidic, impairing metabolism. Natural Factors Certified Organic Oil of Oregano is derived from wildcrafted Mediterranean oregano. Carvacrolo is the predominant phenol and most important component of wild oregano. The oil from Origanumvulgare has the highest naturally occurring carvacrol content at 80%. Pure oregano oil is too potent to be used full strength, so it is blended in a one-to-four ratio with olive oil. This is an ideal ratio for enabling the body to assimilate the oregano oil. Organic, coldpressed extra-virgin olive oil is used to ensure the product is 100% organic and free from chemical contaminants. As more and more antibiotic drugs lose their effectiveness against life threatening bacterial infections, research is showing that oil of oregano has potent

antimicrobial actions that can give our immune systems some needed reinforcement. Oil of Oregano has the ability to inhibit the growth of or kill many harmful microbes that infect humans. Several lab studies have shown Oil of Oregano to be effective against a range of pathogens including e-coli, listeria, salmonella and staphylococcus. Research has shown oil of oregano has the following beneficial characteristics: • antiseptic • antibacterial • antimicrobial • antifungal • anti parasitic • anti-inflammatory • antioxidant • anti mutagenic & anti carcinogenic • analgesic (topical) Four drops daily directly under the tongue, mixed with water or now available in a soft gel is all you need to get these great benefits. Always contact your health care provider before starting any supplement program.

an apprentice program for youth. Tom Mulcair the NDP leader is doing his thing, stating that if he became prime minister he would make minimum wage $15 all over Canada. The consequences of that job killer philosophy is happening in Calgary already. MacDonald’s has two restaurants now that there is no one in there. You go in, make your selection, put in your money in the machine and the food comes out of the machine. Where is the work ethics training for entry level workers? He is also supporting labelling of GMO products. That is fine, but who is paying for it? He still has not changed his stance that oil sands and pipelines should be stopped. Does this man not realize how many people are earning a living working in the oil patch? Does he not realize how much tax money comes to the government from the oil patch? Conservative ads say Trudeau is just not ready to be prime minister. I would say Mulcair isn’t ready either but I am afraid the people of Ontario may vote him in. Justin Trudeau has some plans for supporting small business and families but he mostly is running on

Oct. 19 election. He was unopposed. He is a farmer from Turtleford. Ray Fox was running for the Liberals in this election but because of some controversial posts on social media, he withdrew his name. Sandra Arias won the nomination for the NDP. She was unopposed and won by acclamation. She is a former band councillor for Red Pheasant. She is currently the director for Sunchild Law Office in Battleford. Nothing yet for any of the fringe parties like the Green Party. On the federal scene, Stephen Harper and Kathleen Wynn, Ontario’s premier, are at odds over Wynn’s plan to increase the Canada Pension Plan and she plans to have the federal government pay for it. Harper says “no way,” that is a $3 billion tax increase. There is no doubt the Canada Pension Plan is inadequate, but fixing it will cost money. The question is who will have to pay? The Conservatives have some good things they are promising. They have child tax benefits and child tax credits. They are planning income splitting for parents. They have a plan for tax credits for home renos. They are also promising

The weather has been hot! hot! hot! Now, on Saturday, it has rained. The canola is finished flowering. The wheat and peas are getting killed. They are quickly coming to ripe and the high clearance sprayer guys are hurrying the process along with Roundup and Regulone. Ten days from now the combines will be running and another harvest season will be on us. When you read this column, August will be more than half done. Where did the month go? I used to like harvest but, over the years, I did the harvest because that is how a farmer got paid. I grew to not appreciate harvest as it seemed to be nothing but a big rush. You always felt under the gun as weather can change, you can have rain delays, machinery break downs, everything that prevented you from getting the crop off in the best condition and grade. I was always glad when it was over. The only thing good about harvest was when it ended. On the home front, Ty has finished rebuilding the auger we are going to put in the elevator. Rebuilding is

The Hansons had five daughters, Emma Leite, Johanna Denton, Sophia Berry, Henrietta Alm and Selma Gubbe. There were members of each family represented at the reunion, with 278 people registering over the two days. The oldest attendees were four grandchildren belonging to Henry and Unnie. They were Doris Neale, Sophy Parkinson, Cecilia Radchenko and Jack Alm, as well as Doris’s husband Willie and granddaughter-in-law Louise Denton. Youngest family members in attendance were: Una Ann Marie Blom (Emma’s great-greatgreat granddaughter who was born in Norway May, 2015), Amalynn Ida Hamilton (Emma’s great-great granddaughter, born June 2014), Duke Addison Workman (Emma’s great-great grandson, born April 2015),

The oldest living descendant of Henry and Unnie is Doris (Leite) Neale who was born Aug. 18, 1926 and the youngest is Paige Sophia Parkinson (Sophia’s great granddaughter) who was born July 24, 2015. The reunion began Saturday with a pot luck lunch. A wiener roast concluded a day of ball games, horse shoes, visiting and hand quilting. On Sunday, a pancake breakfast was hosted by the Bill Rayner family. Bill and Joan, along with Bill’s sisters Sandra and Pat, served up an excellent breakfast. After breakfast an interdenominational church service led by Pastor Todd Guggenmos (Errol Denton’s son-in-law) was held under the big tent. Music was led by Jack and Sharon Beloin (Leite) and Bill Rayner. Following the church service, there were Willowmoor Cemetery visits, more ball games, visiting and communal quilting. Sophia Parkinson had made a quilt top and it was set up on a quilt frame and members of the family all took a hand at quilting. For a donation to the graveyard maintenance fund you could get your name entered to take the quilt home. Carmen Gobert became the proud owner of the quilt at the end of the reunion. A delicious catered meal served by Second 2 None on Sunday evening concluded the reunion. Even though the reunion was officially over after the meal, visiting, laughs and reminiscing continued until later in the evening when everyone was forced to head home to homes from half a mile to thousands of miles away.

Oldest family members at the 2015 reunion: (l-r) Jack Alm, Willie Neale, Doris Neale, Sophia Parkinson (talking to Sandra Burden) and Cecilia Radchenko.

Classic songs such as Tumbling Tumbleweeds, Cool Water and Ghost Riders in the Sky were enjoyed by the audience, performed by a group that has been in existence for 80 years and which retains that special cowboy music sound invented by its founders, including movie star Roy Rogers, all those years ago. Following the show, the band met with audience members, signing autographs and selling their latest CD. One fan even brought in his guitar to have signed. This was the group’s first trip to Saskatchewan and they described it as a beautiful province. They spend most of their year performing in Branson, Missouri, but hooked up with promotors out of Fort Qu’Appelle for a seven-city tour of Saskatchewan. Photos by Jayne Foster

Miracle Treat Day helps kids in need Staff Every year, Dairy Queen dedicates one day towards their Miracle Treat Day, in which 100 per cent of the proceeds from Blizzards sold that day go towards helping the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Thursday, Aug. 13 was that day this year, and the North Battleford Dairy Queen had a little girl who was part of their program assisting them. Ten-year-old Lily was behind the counter helping workers serve Blizzards to those looking to help kids like Lily, while satisfying their sweet tooth. When Lily was just two years old, she was diagnosed with acute myloid leukemia, or AML, a cancer of the blood cells in which an abnormal rapid growth of white blood cells accumulate in bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. Lily’s grandmother Janet, who lives in Battleford, says the money raised through the event in town goes directly to building a children’s hospital in Saskatoon. “When Lily was sick, her immune system was completely gone,” she said. “Even trying to play in the playroom, she couldn’t do that because there were

other children there that might be sick. We would have to take any toys back to her room so she could play there. We’re hoping the new hospital will have specific areas for children like her.” Janet says she can’t share enough appreciation for things like Miracle Treat Day. “It’s just invaluable,” she said. “It’s such a hard time for the whole family. When you’re going through something like that, you really need people who love you to support you, and when you’re in another province your family can’t all be there.” After spending six months in hospital in Saskatoon, Lily had to spend a large period of time at a hospital in Winnipeg for her treatments. Janet says she remembers when Lily was first

diagnosed. “We were babysitting (Lily and her sister),” she recalled. “The one night we were at the playground and I was feeling so proud because Lily was so lively and then the next day she got a fever. I couldn’t seem to bring it down with anything, so we took her to the doctor and he thought she just had a flu. Then she went camping with her parents (who live in Asquith) and the fever returned, so her mom took her to the hospital and within hours they had diagnosed her with the terrible disease. It went from normal, healthy child to being in a lot of trouble overnight.” Lily has been cancer free for nearly eight years now, and hopes to continue helping out with the Children’s Hospital Foundation whenever she can.

Unique exhibit due to open at WDM Staff A unique travelling exhibit opens at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford Sunday. The exhibit, titled FEED, takes a familiar form and replaces one material for another. The hay bale, a

method of conserving and maximizing crop production, is re-imagined as a way of conserving and maximizing the over-production of clothes. A release issued by the WDM states the artist responsible for FEED, Mindy Yan Miller, is motivated as

much by social relations as aesthetics. Since graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design with a master’s degree in fine art in 1990, Yan Miller has exhibited across Canada, Europe and United States. Now living in Saskatoon, her work

are manipulated in straightforward ways so their embedded meanings aren’t obscured, and play a vital role in her work’s overall significance. FEED is on exhibit at the North Battleford WDM from Aug. 16 through Nov. 15.

Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation $100,000 Cash Lottery is 21 years old and BUHF is celebrating. The lottery will reflect a 21 theme in most draws. The first draws will take place on Sept. 21, with a draw for a ticket for $1,000 every 21 minutes for a total of $21,000. The first deadline will be on Sept. 11. The $100,000 Lottery remains the most successful revenue generating fundraising event of the foundation. Proceeds from the 2015 Lottery have been committed to the replacement of an automated pill packager for the BUH pharmacy. Every day, pharmacists and technicians at BUH prepare and dispense medicine to more than 200 patients in acute care and community programs within the Battlefords. It is vital to replace this outdated

and essential piece of equipment as soon as possible to ensure the pharmacists can continue safe and efficient dispensing of medicine. “Your ticket purchases have a significant impact in this community. The funds raised stay in the Battlefords to help people in the Battlefords and surrounding communities,” said Roger Anderson, BUH Foundation’s board of directors chair. “We thank you for this support and are very grateful for the commitment the Battlefords businesses and individuals have to local health care.” Tickets are $50 each, three for $125 and, new this year, five tickets for $200 (only 100 sets of these available). In total there are only 12,500 tickets available. They can be purchased at BUH Foundation’s office, BUH Foundation’s Grate-

fully Yours Food and Gift Shop and in the main lobby of BUH. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 306446-6652 or toll-free 1-888946-4284 (1-888-WIN 4BUH) or online at www. buhfoundation.com. The 50/50 add-ons are available at one for $10 or three for $25 and can be purchased only in conjunction with the $100,000 Cash Lottery. To celebrate the 21st anniversary the guaranteed minimum payout for the $100,000 Cash Lottery 50/50 Add-On is $21,000. Other draws include the Previous Purchaser draw of $10,000, plus “Marking Our 21 Years” draws (one draw of $5,000 and 21 draws of $1,000). The ticket deadline is Thursday, Oct. 22. The deadline for the grand prize draw of $100,000 Grand Prize and 21 consolation prizes of $1,000 is Friday, Nov. 6.

Gardeners harvesting produce, sharing with all 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. 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 those neighbors with an abundance of produce who are willing to share their product. And we 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. The biggest excitement in town last week was the return of the UK Royals after capturing the U21 Western Canadian Ladies’ Fastpitch title. In addition to the team

nity News receiving dozens of congratulatory messages after their win in B.C., many returned home to excited fans anxious to hear the details of their win. As well, multiple players are in tryouts for winter training teams, the 2017 Canada Summer Games and those squirt girls who will participate in fall ball zone provincial championships. Even though the action of the diamonds has subsided, there is still some ball action taking place for Unity players. The end of swimming season is very near. Take advantage of the last week and days of the Unity Credit Union Aquatic Centre in the inaugural season of the brand new pool. 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 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, is just because there is back-to-school shopping to do or harvest purchases to be made, that 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 is holding 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 at the end of this month as well. 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. 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 seven losses have been painfully close, however, that does not erase the fact that the team has not been 0-7 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 20, 2015 - Page 26

Bicycles are a nuisance and annoyance to real drivers Ed, my old neighbour from Saskatchewan, had a few unkind words for me yesterday. I told him that I have been able to bike frequently here in Chilliwack. First Avenue, our street, is wide with a good stretch of bike lanes along it. Following it, I can end up right out in the countryside. This time of year is perfect for biking because it is mainly hot, dry weather. My old neighbour informed me that no time of year was good for biking. He says that people riding bikes on

streets and roads are just a traffic accident in the making. For real drivers in cars and trucks, cyclists were a nuisance that shouldn’t be on the road. Ed continued by saying that all bike riders do was annoy and disturb everyone but themselves. He claimed that he hated bikers in big cities like Edmonton and Saskatoon with their bike lanes. There, cyclists act like they have as much right on the road as he has. I protested that bikers did have a right to be on the road. I also threw in

any opinion that contradicts his own. He says that there is no point in wasting time on foolishness. It is not assuring to know that many folks are exactly like Ed wherever you go. In the Bible, many rejected what Jesus said, as if it was foolishness. When Jesus taught on marriage and divorce, even his disciples said to him, “If this is the

situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.” His disciples also considered little children as too young to be worthy of any attention from Jesus. The disciples did not realize that little children can naturally believe and trust completely. Often, adults would rather argue and demand when it came to dealing with Jesus. They had lost their childlike ability to believe and trust unconditionally. Jesus wanted to bless the children and pray for each of them because children were capable of total acceptance and trust of him. In the nineteenth chapter of Matthew, a rich young man demanded of Jesus, “What good thing he should do to get eternal life?” The

young man assured Jesus that he had not murdered, committed adultery, given false testimony. This same young man honoured his parents and loved his neighbour as himself. Jesus told the young man that he needed to sell his possessions and give them to the poor, and then follow Jesus. The young man was unwilling to give away his great wealth to follow Jesus. Many believed that obtaining eternal life was a matter of obeying the commandments of God. They forget that they must be obeyed perfectly to earn eternal life. Only God is perfect. Believing and trusting in Jesus, the Son of God, is the only way for imperfect people to get eternal life.

Ready for the new school year? The start of a new school year usually means shopping for school supplies and new clothes. But perhaps this time of year should also involve visits to your healthcare specialists to make sure that nothing will hinder your children’s academic success. The dentist Plan a visit to the dentist to confirm (keep your fingers crossed!) the absence of cavities and to ensure that your children’s teeth are positioned correctly. In some cases, orthodontic treatment might be required. It’s also essential that your children understand the importance of having good oral hygiene.

The audiologist Not responding properly to instructions, constantly asking teachers to repeat themselves and not reacting immediately when spoken to are just some of the signs that your child may have a hearing problem. A hearing assessment is advised in these circumstances. Some types of ear infections, if they remain untreated, could contribute to varying degrees of hearing deficits as well.

Put all the odds in favour of your child’s success by visiting your healthcare specialists.

The optometrist For most people, over 80 per cent of learning is done visually. In fact, several vision problems may be de tected when children are being taught to read and write. Consequently, it’s vital to have your children’s eyes checked on a regular basis. The chiropractor Your children’s vertebrae and backs are in constant use as they grow, so it’s a good idea to have them checked out by a chiropractor. This specialist may even demonstrate how to wear a backpack without causing injury.

3. During the exam, adopt a positive attitude. It’s really surprising how beneficial this approach can be for relaxing as well as for concentrating. 4. Give yourself time to read all the questions. A good understanding of them is essential for giving optimal answers. 5. Allow a few minutes at the end to review your answers. You’ll most likely see that some additions or deletions are required. Remember that restorative sleep, a balanced diet and exercise have a positive influence on your stress levels and academic results. Taking care of your body will prepare your mind to effectively cope with the ordeal of exams. Lastly, after the exam is over, reward yourself. Give yourself a hard-earned treat and have some fun. You deserve it, regardless of the outcome.

Hot weather bringing out swathers and combines The hot weather last week brought out the swathers and even the combines. It seems so early but maybe not. The peas were running 40 bushels to the acre and that is good. Many crops are going to have second growth, which will complicate harvest a great deal. There should be second crops of hay with this moisture and heat. The weather in southern Alberta has brought their crops on early, too, and they are worried the pumpkin crop will be ready a month before Halloween. Do you suppose they could change the date for that? With their fancy climate controlled buildings

erbed and helped out at the park, too. I see someone has done some landscaping work in front of the Community Complex, and improved that site. Blair Corbiel and his family from Beaumont, Alta., and his brother Marcel and his family from Utah have been to visit their mother Beulah while she spent some time in the hospital in town. She is back home again and doing fine. Visiting with Mary and Walter Tait recently while in Canada for a wedding in Manitoba were Mr. and Mrs. David Miller from Friockheim, Scotland. They are neighbours to Mary’s brother over there and came early so were doing some sightseeing and visiting. The following day Mary and Walter had company from Rosetown, Alistair and Christine Stables. They are having a busy summer and everyone is enjoying their yard full of flowers. Happy 111th birthday greetings to Lillian Cornell, mother of Lou Tait, on Aug. 21. A small celebration is planned for family. The Meota Hobby Band and several of their spouses travelled to Hanley where they took part in the military service honouring the late Lloyd Beaumont of Saskatoon on Aug. 8, his birthday. He passed away in April. Lloyd and Carmen moved a year ago from Meota to Saskatoon. His military service began in 1952 and

lasted many years. After that he worked for the Department of Public Health. They had a minute of silence for folks to recall his past. They had a reading of the poem In Flanders Fields. His love of music, especially the saxophone, found him active in forming bands in schools or with adults wherever he lived - the Lions’ Band in Regina, Hanley Kitchen Band, North Battleford Kinsmen Band and finally the Meota Hobby Band. Several tributes were paid to Lloyd, ending with the Last Post and a five-gun salute. He was born at Hanley and his ashes were interred at the Hanley Cemetery. Get-well wishes go out to all people with medical problems, and who doesn’t have any? Those in hospitals, get out to enjoy this fall weather. Jesse Beyer has been working in Edmonton on CTV as the weather reporter. Today he was on Global TV reporting, so he’s doing well. His grandmother Mary Ann Beyer has lived at Chitek Lake most of her life so is well known there. Remember the Community Complex noon luncheon on Friday, the 21st, so come out and meet your friends, enjoy a great meal together and support the hall committee and the work they do. Contract bridge was played at the Do Drop In on Monday, Aug. 17, with top score by Mary Greenwald and second by Jetta Dasilva.

KIVIMAA: John Harold Kivimaa of Livelong passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2015 at the age of 82 years. Harold Kivimaa was born on a homestead at NE 35-53-19 W3 in the midst of the Great Depression. The family raised cattle, sheep and chickens, and sold mitts, socks, butter and eggs to help make ends meet. Finnish was the first language of the home. Harold attended Dexter School which was not far from the homestead. In 1944 the family moved to SW 1954-18 W3, which had been homesteaded by his uncle, Bill. There Harold helped his family with the homestead, commercial fishing on Turtle Lake and cutting wood in the bush. In 1965, Harold began working in oilfield construction based in Fort St. John, BC. He often reminisced of his days as a “catskinner” operating heavy equipment in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. He would come back to Saskatchewan in the summers to farm. Harold had much involvement in municipal government, beginning as a Councilor of the RM of Greenfield and also serving as Reeve of Greenfield. He was also Councilor and Reeve of the RM of Mervin. He had a partnership lasting many years with Wilfred and Roy Hamm cutting, sawing and planing lumber. His connection to the forest included serving on the Divide Forest Advisory Council until his passing. Harold married Darlene Rottacker on May 30, 1975, becoming stepfather to Kerry Rottacker. Harold and Darlene then had a daughter, Kelly, in 1978, and a son, Shawn, in 1980. His pride was in his family. Harold was predeceased by: his brother, Vilko; his parents, Felix and Ida; and his sisters, Minerva and Helvi. He is survived by: his loving wife, Darlene; his children, Kerry, (Stephanie) and two grandchildren, Kelly, (Phil), and Shawn; two brothers, Charlie, (Dorothy), and Jimmy (Irene); and numerous nieces and nephews. The Memorial Service for Harold was conducted from the Livelong & District Community Hall on Monday, August 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Daniel Gies officiating. Shawn Kivimaa, Kelly Kivimaa-Schouten, and Kerry Rottacker were the urn bearers. All of Harold’s Family & Friends were the honorary bearers. Shawn read the eulogy, and Greg & Inga Sample and Wilfred & Darlene Hamm provided the music. Inurnment took place in the Livelong Cemetery following the service.

KEYKO: Pauline Keyko (nee Herman) February 2nd 1924 July 31st 2015. It is with great sadness and sorrow that we say goodbye to our dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother Pauline Keyko, who passed away on July 31st at the Hafford Special Care Centre. Pauline was born in Carrot River in 1924 to Dora and John Herman. At the very young age of 14, Pauline left home to find work. She was successful in doing so, and worked for a farming couple for a number of years. This prepared her well for the next chapter in her life. In 1942 she married Walter Keyko. They began their journey together farming in the Alticane district. They had many years of hard labour, milking cows, stooking, hauling hay and growing a huge garden; she prepared many meals for the large threshing crews that were there every fall. And the grandchildren could hardly wait to come to the farm to taste BaBa’s fresh baked bread. Mom was right alongside dad helping with everything, as well as raising a family of 7 children: Sonia, Elaine, Dave, Orest, Allan, Kathy and Carol. Mom and Dad retired from farming in 1977 and moved to Hafford. There they enjoyed the leisure life of gardening together, picking berries and taking a drive out to the farm. They had 51 years of life together before Dad’s passing in February OF 1999. To keep herself busy Mom made hand-made quilts for each one of us. She enjoyed having company and playing Kaiser; she loved music and played the mouth organ. Mom also had many different word find books and enjoyed doing them as a past time. Pauline is predeceased by her parents Dora and John Herman; husband Walter, infant son Meldon and daughter Kathy; sisters Kay, Mary, Olga and Lily; brothers Steve and Fred; and her son inlaw Victor Chmelnyk. At 91 years of age she was the last one to leave this world. Left to cherish her memories are: Sonya Chmelnyk and family (Mel, Corey and Audrey), Elaine (Nick) Kowalchuk and family (Lori, Nadine, Michelle and Darryl), Dave (Diane) Keyko and family (Della and Tyler), Orest (Colleen) Keykoe and family (Roxane and Kelly), Allan (Lynda) Keyko, Carol (Keyko) Crawford and family (Amanda, Tiana and Jayda), Gerald Adamus and family (Shelley and Cody); 16 great-granchildren, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. The family sincerely thanks the Doctor and Nurses, all the staff of the Hafford Special Care Centre, Hafford Home Care staff, and health care aid that came to her home. Thank you for your loving care, you have done so much for our mom. You went over and beyond your call of duty and we truly appreciate it. Thank you all! A Funeral Service was held on Wednesday, August 12th, 2015 at the Descent of the Holy Spirit Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Hafford, Saskatchewan, with Father Taras Makowski officiating. Interment followed at the Hafford Orthodox Cemetery. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to Hafford Special Care Centre, box 130 Hafford, SK, S0J 1A0 or Hafford Home Care, Box 130, Hafford, SK, S0J 1A0.

ADOPT A PET

LEGEND is a sweet boy once he gets to know you but would probably do well with an experienced owner and in a home with no small kids. 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!!

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.

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.

Encourage and facilitate economic diversification to establish a stable local economy built off agriculture and value-added agribusiness, consumer and tourism opportunities.

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.

The reason for the adoption of the Zoning Bylaw is to control the use of land for providing for the amenity of the area within the Village’s jurisdiction and for the health, safety and general welfare of the inhabitants of the municipality. The Zoning Bylaw includes the following zoning districts that provide standards for development within the specific areas within the municipality: 1.

R1 - Residential District: which is intended to provide for low to medium-density residential development surrounded by agricultural lands and other compatible developments.

C1 - Commercial Core District: which is intended to provide for general commercial development, and other compatible developments.

C2 - Highway Commercial District: which is intended to provide for highway commercial and light industrial development and other compatible developments.

M - Industrial District: which is intended for industrial and other types of developments.

CS - Community Service District: which is intended for municipal facilities, recreational areas, health and/or education facilities, and other compatible types of development.

UH - Urban Holdings District: which is intended for lands held for subdivision prior to rezoning to accommodate specific forms of development.

PUBLIC INSPECTION: Any person may inspect the bylaw at the RM Office between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. as well as between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, excluding and statutory holidays. Copies will be available to the public, or by emailing the Village at villageofmervin@littleloon.ca

Trips west enjoyed by area residents By Helena Pike Correspondent

Ray Forrest and Bonnie O’Grady recently returned from a motor trip which took them to British Columbia. Besides enjoying the magnificent scenery, they spent time visiting relatives and former district residents. Among those they visited were Tony Kirkland, who is retired and living at Sechelt, B.C. Tony was born and raised in Forest Bank

Passing Through A group of seven people are walking from Norway House, Man. to Prince Rupert, B.C. to raise awareness for missing and murdered aboriginal women. They began their walk July 14, and last Thursday morning they were leaving North Battleford to continue their journey. They did a similar walk last year when they walked from Norway House to Ottawa.

district until he moved with his parents and sister Sylvia to BC. Tony has fond memories of his time in Forest Bank. At Sicamous, they visited with Frieda (Forrest) Tucker. Frieda, the daughter of Fred and Evelyn Forrest who farmed in the district for many years, attended school at Forest Bank and Maidstone and then left to pursue her life mostly in B.C. where she married and raised her family and worked at many jobs. At Ponoka, Alta., Ray and Bonnie visited with Enid (Tasker) and Terry Christianson. Enid grew up on Elliot and Esther Tasker’s (her parents) farm in this district along with her brother Arthur and sister Helen. She attended Forest Bank school. In 1968 the family moved to Alberta. She and her husband Terry farm out of Ponoka and raised their family there. Enid has returned for many visits throughout the years to be with friends and relatives. Christine Pike and her sister Maureen Bexson travelled to St. Albert, Alta. last week, where they were guests at Twelve Acre Restaurant, which is run by a group of young people who grow all the vegetables used by the restaurant. They also own a butcher shop which is supplied in part by their herd of Speckle Park cattle. As well, they operate a gift shop and have a van fitted up as a cookhouse where they serve

light “eat as you go” food at one of the largest farmer’s markets in Canada, the St. Albert Farmers’ Market. As well, they have a produce booth there which features their own sausage. Christine and Maureen presented them with framed pictures of Mary Lindsay and of Bill and Eileen Lamont, who were creators of the Speckle Park breed. Along with the pictures, they presented a brief framed factual history of the origin of the breed. These now hang on the wall at the entrance of their sales room at the butcher shop or perhaps the gift shop. Christine and Maureen appreciated the graciousness of the people who work there and admired the cleanliness of the operation and the people involved. Eileen Evans returned on Thursday Aug. 13 from a week spent in British Columbia. Besides visiting with her three daughters (who live there), their husbands and families, she enjoyed visiting with a special friend, a former Forest Bank resident Sylvia (Kirkland) Furnald. It was a special occasion, being Sylvia’s 70th birthday. Sylvia’s brother Tony from Sechelt came for the occasion and they had a wonderful day’s visit together. Sylvia, who now lives in the Vernon Senior’s Settlement, was as cheerful and jolly as she has always been. Along with several other guests, they enjoyed a meal together. The day was all too short as they reminisced of many happy times. Gully Gus says, “The secret of personal happiness is learning to appreciate the ordinary things most people take for granted!”

Each participants took their own machine and worked on whatever projects they brought with them. Groups changed each day as time allowed participants to attend. Besides local participants, quilters came from Neilburg, Marshall, Maidstone and other points. Besides accomplishing lots of quilting, participants had lots of fun socializing, having meals and coffee breaks together with some even bringing the necessary things which made it possible for them to stay overnight. Hamish Duncan, his wife Marie, and their daughter, Heather, spent a short time

Hamish grew up on the farm owned by his father and mother, James and Pansy (Sutherland) Duncan. Hamish and his sister attended Walter School for their elementary school education. Hamish soon left following his schooling but in years gone by he returned to visit many times, appreciating his many friends. He and his wife Marie have lived in BC for many years on an acreage near Langford. There they worked and raised their family.

There are always changes in a small community By Alan Laughlin Correspondent

Some like it hot, some like it cold … this has been a summer to remember. From over-30 degree days to over an inch of rain at a crack, we’ve had it all. Fortunately we have not had hail. Shelly and I took a weekend trip to Ogema, south of Regina, for a wedding. I expected to see a lot of harvesting or at least swathing going on but we only saw one combine south of Saskatoon taking off some peas

abbit Lake News or lentils. Actually we saw more swathing right west of Rabbit Lake than anywhere else. This seems to be a summer to preserve the past! If you have been driving around the countryside and happened to drop into Rabbit Lake you might have noted that there is a new

roof on the former Rabbit Lake CNR Station, now part of the Rabbit Lake and District Museum. The cedar shingles, likely the original ones from 1926, had served their purpose and have been replaced by a metal roof. Dwaine Goller and Troy Moore enjoyed the scenery from a high vantage point. Teagan Wright assisted from the ground. Also, you might have noted the new gates on the Resthaven Cemetery at Mullingar. The iron gates were fabricated by Barry Sherman and are erected in

x e Ga m

memory of his grandparents Rudolph and Muriel Sherman and of Percy and Ida Walker, Mullingar pioneers. There is always change in a small community, some for the worse and some for the better. On Aug. 8, Pete and Marg Penner along with Al and Jan Richter and Don Peters and Linda Lewis held an auction sale in the Rabbit Lake Community Hall. Pete and Marg are moving to Saskatoon and Al and Jan have moved to Turtle Lake. Don and Linda now live between Saskatoon and their cabin at Crescent Beach. We hate to see people leave the community and we wish them good luck in their new

homes. Here is something exciting. Becky Richter, daughter of Ben and Bonnie Richter, competed in the Parapan Am Games. Although she is a wheelchair racer, good luck came to her as she placed first in hammer throw and third in discus. Again, we can be inspired by what determination can do. It is good to see Joan Dzialo, Randy Aumack and Dave Kowerchuk all on the mend after some summer health issues. The community expresses its condolences to David and Candy Ernst on the passing of David’s father, William (Bill) Ernst. Bill en-

joyed farming and enjoyed helping David and Candy when he could. He was born at Rabbit Lake and, although he and Gladys lived in North Battleford, he was a frequent visitor back home. It seems like some have to go and someone new comes. Maverick Charles McNabb was born to Rob and Jessie McNabb on July 8. Maverick is a brother for Marti-Beth, Maria, Morgan and Memphis. Bruce and Jean McNabb are proud grandparents. Each month the Rabbit Lake and District Library awards a treat of the month. This month’s winner was Karen Kuffert.

Customers turn out for appreciation event By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent

Olga Woloshyn was reacquainted with her cousin, former North Battleford resident, 91-year-old Gertrude Woloshyn from Comox, Vancouver Island. Gertie flew all by herself to Edmonton and her daughter Patsy from Bonneville, Alta. brought her to Vivian (Jim) Phelps, another daughter, for a one week visit. My husband and I drove his mother Olga to the Phelps residence at Jackfish Lake on Aug. 11. Olga and Gertie have not seen one another in about 15 years. Gertie was married to Fred Woloshyn who farmed near Denholm and together they raised seven children. This was their second marriage and once Fred passed away, she moved into a condo in Battleford, then Nanaimo, B.C., and now is residing in a Comax Senior Care Home one and a half blocks from the ocean in a scenic setting. The two of them reminisced about the good old days and us younger ones, Jim, Vivian, Patsy, David and myself, had a great visit. Hopefully we will get to see everyone again in the next few years and, of course, by then we will all be older. The barbecue supper at Nachtegaele Agri-Services on Aug. 12 was very scrumptious after the crop tour. Customers of Dwayne and Keith’s were invited to their annual appreciation event. Many local farmers in attendance received gift bags with many useful items to take home. Also, Agriteam of Speers hosts a similar event, as most agricultural businesses do, on Aug. 13. Many farmers from the Mayfair area support these businesses for seed, chemicals and fertilizers. Folk Fest in Saskatoon is a great way to reconnect with the 22 cultural venues located throughout the city. I attended part of Friday and Saturday evenings. For only $16, one could purchase a pass that included free bus service to the venues. Great cultural food, drinks, history, musical performances and, of course, merchandise to purchase. Spiritwood will also be sponsoring a mini Folk Fest with five venues on board as of now on the weekend of Sept. 5 and 6. The cost is $5 with much of what Saskatoon’s had to offer. With harvest slated earlier this year, it is unknown how successful the festival will be. This is the first year that Spiritwood is trying this new venture. Music, music and more music. Do you know that music is the most universal language in the world? No matter what language the song is in, one can still connect with it! John Arcand’s 18th Annual Fiddle Festival was a huge success again this past weekend. I’ve always wanted to attend, never had the opportunity, but this year I was present. Wow!

ayfair News Spectacular performances from the very young to the elderly. Most of them have to practice a lot in order to be a success. It is not an easy task, but with perseverance you become excellent. Of course a musician has to love what he or she is doing and you can tell by the expression on the faces and tapping of their feet when they are enjoying sharing their music with us. I could attend a music festival every weekend in the summer months if time permitted. Rain, rain, rain. We received no moisture in May, very little in June, July got a little better, and ,wow, 1.3 inches was actually recorded in our rain gauge on Aug. 15! This is the most significant amount because it doesn’t pour here in comparison to places 10 miles away. I was under the wooden structured roof at the John Arcand Fiddle Fest when it came down in buckets, around 10:30 a.m., and lasted for almost an hour. There was a fiddle competition slated for that morning, so music came to a halt for a while. The rain came down so hard, one could hardly hear the music. A fellow by the name of Gordon Stobbe might be remembered by some of our local seniors. He grew up in the Mayfair district and moved away at age 11 with his parents to Nova Scotia. Gord is a master fiddler, teacher and composer. His performance history includes theatre, composer, radio and television host. He is in great demand for music retreats, camps and workshops across Canada

and does a lot of them in the North West Territories. He is a wonderful person to talk to and mentioned the last names of Jackson, Rash, Cowell, Allan and Bouschard all in the Rabbit Lake and Mayfair areas that he remembers. Formerly from Blaine Lake and now a resident of Meadow Lake was Lucas Welsh who taught fiddle, Metis and Old Time lessons to anyone wanting to further their music. He was classically trained as a violinist but is now a very skilled fiddler, guitar and mandolin player. Lucas has relatives at Mayfair and his mother Debbie still resides at Blaine Lake. He is a music teacher, recording artist and performer and is also in demand. Lucas is a Saskatchewan Provincial Fiddling champion, has represented Saskatchewan at the Canadian Grand Masters and has been nominated for guitar and fiddle player at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards. One more name I want to mention from a list of dozens of instructors, performers, etc. is Pelletier from Birch Hills. Freddie, wife Sheila and their only child, 33-year-old Clinton (now of Edmonton) are top notch performers. Most Saskatchewan residents I am sure have heard them somewhere or at some point in their life. Freddie and Sheila go into Texas, Arizona and California to perform in the winter. Clinton, an amazing guitar virtuoso, will often join his parents, thus giving the show a wonderful family aspect! He is a music producer with his wife and records many albums. Apparently Clinton is in demand with several bands, but presently is a part of Hot Club Edmonton and a band called Electric. During the four-day music festival on the farm of

John and Vicki Arcand near Pike Lake, west of Saskatoon, anyone could enrol in square dancing or jigging and learn beading, Metis finger beading and finger weaving. Peyote beading is another branch of this art and was taught by Karry-Lyne Schnell from Saskatoon, who teaches these classes in various schools promoting ancestral techniques. I am sure I forgot to mention other things going on at this well organized event. Obviously the audience can be engaged in many activities if they did not want to just sit in a chair and listen to music for four days. We’ve been told that this is the best Fiddle Festival across Western Canada, because of all the great performers, including John Arcand. The congregation of All Saints Roman Catholic Church in Mayfair welcomed Father Toyn Vu, who originates from Vietnam, on Aug. 9. He really would like to get to know all of his parishioners and even suggested that he would come to your farm and help dig potatoes. Anyone needing extra help in the garden, you know who to call upon! Creative Corner is hosting a Flea and Farmer’s Market on Sept. 19 in Mayfair

The election was held and we now have a new village councillor. Congratulations, John Delong. On council now is Brian Ducharme, Bob Macleod and Carol Deagnon as acting mayor until the next election. Denise Bernier stepped down as mayor and is now our village administrator. The enjoyment of entertaining seniors is not only gratifying to us but we hope also to them. Seeing these seniors, we hope we are bringing them joy and happiness – the joy on their faces, the tapping of toes, some dancing and even singing along. We go to local nursing homes, and anywhere we can perform where they are

present. Sometimes some of the musicians, even though they love to entertain, aren’t able to because of the expenses but we thank all of the organizations who help with some of these costs. Musicians, please keep up the good work; one day we will be sitting where they sit and hopefully someone will be singing to us.

RV musicians in Langham for the summer Correspondent

The River Valley RV Park musicians held an evening of country music in the Borden Seniors’ Room Aug. 13. Eight musicians took turns singing and playing a number of oldies and gospel songs including one interesting tune, the Barnyard TwoStep, which involved rolling up your apparel to miss the

all go south for the winter where they get together and play. Admission was $1 and they donated $80 back to the Borden Seniors’ Club from the two times they have played here. They will be the featured entertainment at the Borden Seniors’ potluck supper and birthdays Aug. 26. The Borden Lions Club held their annual barbecue Aug. 14 at the home of Bob and Anne Wardhaugh. The Lions paid special tribute to Murray and Noni Taylor, who were moving to Moose Jaw Aug. 17. Murray grew up here and, except for a stint in the navy, has always lived here. He was a founding member of the Borden Lions Club, serving in the different chairs and as District Governor. A bouquet of flowers was given to Noni and a membership in the Moose Jaw Lions Club was given to Murray. After the roast pork supper, a special cake wishing the couple best wishes was cut and served with fresh fruit for dessert. With Bob Wardhaugh playing accordion, everyone sang For They are Jolly Good Fellows and Auld Lang Syne. Then the clackers were distributed and with Anne Wardhaugh using her Celtic drum; a number of tunes were played to end the evening around the campfire.

It’s our 40th BIRTHDAY and we owe it mall to you!
