Staff City of North Battleford Leisure Service Director Bill Samborski says he doesn’t like to dwell on statistics, but at a meeting this week he shared some numbers with the City’s Planning Committee saying some were too cool to keep to himself.
There was a whopping 416,073 visits to City galleries, recreation facilities, programs and activities in 2014. Samborski added that didn’t count outdoor facilities. The Battlefords Co-op Aquatic Centre alone saw 14,658 visits over the course of the year. For more turn to Page 3.

Big numbers for leisure services 416,073 access Department of Leisure Services activities and programs By John Cairns Staff Reporter There have been some big numbers reported by the Department of Leisure Services for January, and for 2014 as well. “In the year 2014 we had 416,073 people visit or attend a program in a leisure facility,” said Leisure Services Director Bill Samborski to the Planning Committee on Tuesday. That does not
include any of the outdoor fields, it was noted. Samborski also noted Allen Sapp Gallery had 89,718 hits on their website. “We have people interested in what we’re doing.” The numbers continue to impress councillors who said they remain impressed with the interest and use of leisure services facilities, which include the arenas, the CUplex and galleries. Samborski said Tuesday that his department never
wanted to “focus on stats all the time because they don’t tell a true story of what’s going on,” but “some of the stats are so cool it’s hard not to bring them forward.” Among the stats was that 40,774 people visited a City of North Battleford leisure facility in January, a number pretty much on par with similar numbers seen the last few months. Those include 14,658 visiting the aquatic centre, including 2,532 elementary
Tuesday marked the official grand opening of the synthetic ice surface at Rotary Plaza at the Credit Union CUplex. The synthetic surface has a lifespan of 20 to 25 years and is capable of year-round use, making it unique to the province. It is available free of charge to users, with the only cost being for skate rentals if you don’t have your own. Because it is synthetic ice and not real ice, skating will take a little getting used to. Kids who skated on the new surface on grand opening day gave it a thumbs up, with one saying it’s “hard when you first start but once you get the hang of it it’s kind of easy.” Photos by John Cairns
students taking part in school swim lessons, as well as a total of 1,050 spectators attending the Orcas 2-day swim meet. Also, Saskatoon Kayak Club utilizes the waves on Saturday mornings for training. They include a young nationally-ranked kayaker who competes internationally. As well, 11,122 patrons participated in activities at the field house. Samborski’s report also noted that visitors to the galleries came from as far away as Nebraska, Victoria, Winnipeg, Prince George and the Sunshine Coast. Zachari Logan is displaying his most recent work at the Chapel Gallery and it was noted his work is currently being simultaneously exhibited in Seattle, Brussels, New York and North Battleford. Samborski also referred to Winter-tainment Week that was under way, as well as the grand opening of the new synthetic ice surface at Rotary Plaza at the CUplex. All in all, Samborski’s report was a positive one, but January was not all good news. Councillor Ryan Bater asked about the situation at the outdoor ice rinks in the wake of the unseasonable spring-like temperatures that happened in January. Samborski confirmed the plus-temperatures had, in fact, destroyed them. Initially when the warm weather hit in mid-January, it looked like the rinks might hold up in spite of the melt going on. “It started off as ‘holy smokes, we dodged a
big bullet here’,” said Samborski. The next day around 4:30 p.m., he looked at them again and “there was virtually nothing left.” Last week, he told council, members of the department were out at the outdoor rinks trying to recover them so they could be used again, but

Balance rights against responsibilities Dear Editor
How sad that the options for Canadians who are severely ill or dying appear to have been reduced to two choices: either suffer a painful and “undignified” death, or ask your doctor for a lethal drug. So it would seem by the gleeful reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the ban against physician-assisted suicide. Lost in the argument is the pressing need to improve access to hospice palliative care, including proper pain and symptom management, for all Canadians. Rather than hastening death for persons who are ill or dying, we should be doing a much better job of supporting them with high quality palliative care, which improves quality of life for dying patients and offers a healing experience for them and their families. It is shameful how few people in Canada can access palliative care. To instead allow physicians to help patients kill themselves (after 2,400 years of “doing no harm” under the Hippocratic tradition) has many troubling implications. What about the freedom of conscience rights of physicians who refuse to do so? The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan has already drafted a policy requiring physicians who object to providing “legally permissible and publicly-funded health services” to make a referral to another physician (which is as morally problematic as doing the procedure itself). If another physician is unavailable in a timely manner, the policy requires the physician to provide the service “even where the provision of health services conflicts with physicians’ deeply held and considered moral or religious beliefs.” (The College is open to input until March 6.) Physician-assisted suicide is not just a religious issue. Eliminating a life is not an appropriate response to suffering. How will this call for state-sanctioned (physicianassisted) suicide undermine our commitment to suicide prevention programs? How can we prevent the erosion of the original constraints on physician-assisted suicide when they have been abused and eroded elsewhere? How will allowing doctors to help patients die impact the trust between patients and doctors? Rights must always be balanced against responsibilities. We have a responsibility as a caring society to respect and protect people who are disabled, elderly, terminally ill, mentally ill, or otherwise vulnerable. Respect for life – all life – ought to trump respect for individual autonomy.

Little respect for renowned artists Dear Editor
I wish to send ‘Boots’ and no ‘Salutes’ to all the people of the Battlefords area who have any feelings for Ukrainian culture. Only six people were in the audience, and I think not one without Ukrainian connections, to appreciate an amazing concert of the music of Ukraine, in North Battleford’s Pioneer Hall Sunday, Feb 15. And this in spite of a half page article in the Thursday, Feb. 12 issue of the Regional Optimist. Bohdan Vatsyk, honour artist of Ukraine, has toured Europe for years before recently coming to Canada. Sunday, he mostly played violin but also the tsymbaly, a traditional instrument of Ukraine.

Lawyers needed at bail hearings
Therese Jelinski Saskatoon Dear Editor Letters to the editor are welcomed by the Regional Optimist. All letters, including those which are faxed or emailed, must be signed and bear the address and telephone number of the writer. The name of the writer will be published. Letters are subject to editing. Personal attacks will not be printed. Letters will be rejected if they contain libelous statements or are unsigned.
Nadia Babchouk, the other feature artist of Magic of Karpaty, also trained in Ukraine but has been in Canada for 20 years and has performed in many places in Canada and the United States. The two recently were on tour with another group in Ukraine. The concert was superb and I felt honoured to have been there. The performers deserved much more from the Battlefords. I hope they receive more respect in the other places they have scheduled for performances.
I can’t believe what I just saw on the CBC news. The government of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia are actually requiring police officers to appear on behalf of the Crown at bail hearings. This has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Police are trained in law enforcement. They are not trained as lawyers. The defendant has an actual lawyer there on their behalf, but the Crown depends on untrained

police officers to represent them. This is putting police officers in a losing position from the start. What kind of government expects police to now act as lawyers? No wonder these defendants are getting off with low bail when the Crown is at a disadvantage from the start. I am sure the officers don’t want to be there and we should not expect them to be in that position. Is this government, with its cut, cut and cut some more, actually cutting the Crown attorney’s office as well. Continued on Page 5

The setting of Sun News Network While the headlines were matter of fact, it wasn’t hard to imagine the glee behind the Facebook posts of other media networks the night of Feb. 12. “Sun News Network shutting down Friday, nearly 200 lose jobs,” said CTVNews.ca The Globe & Mail stated, “Sun News Network is going dark.” On the National Post Facebook page it said, “Earlier this week a former employee said they ‘were surprised the lights were still on.’” Sun News Network’s social media kept on keeping on, however. Much of it was likely pre-posted, just like a post-dated cheque. After all the other national media was reporting its imminent demise, Sun’s Facebook page said, “The RCMP broke the law — Lorne Gunter speaks to the commission chairman of the damning High River report.” Ezra Levant’s rant was pumped as, “High River gun grab woes — A new report proves the RCMP broke the law by seizing firearms without warrants during the High River flood in 2013.” Their Facebook page described itself as “Canada’s most controversial televi-
rom the top of
the pile By Brian Zinchuk Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers
Association 2012 Columnist of the Year sion channel. The only place for the truth, straight talk and news you won’t find anywhere else.” Their own web page had no indication of going dark. The channel itself was still running reruns of Michael Coren’s show from earlier in the day. But by Friday, the network was off the air, their Facebook and Twitter feeds were gone, and the Sun had set. I personally didn’t watch the channel much, but I would occasionally watch in the evening online. It was refreshing to hear another voice, one that wasn’t the usual one heard in Canadian media. My own column has, on more than one occasion poked numerous bears, taking views that are not politically correct or welcomed. But there are times when society needs someone, anyone, to stand up and have the nerve to say, “No! That’s not right!

Lawyers needed at bail hearings Continued from Page 4 Do the people of this province realize this is putting the population in jeopardy by allowing some of these criminals out with low bail because the Crown can’t afford to send an actual attorney to the bail hearing? Premier Wall, you have gone way to far this time. You have probably already lost the support of the police in the province by putting them in a position
where they should never be. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Not everyone has drunk the Kool-Aid just yet.” Ezra Levant was the most obvious example of that. Love him or hate him, he brought issues to the forefront when everyone else was sweeping them under the rug. As one friend said, “They brought you news the other guys didn’t or refused to cover or purposely didn’t. They told it like it is. They shed light on issues the mainstream media would probably have said is a win for some group’s supposed rights, but not the victim (i.e. Christians).” Another friend said, “It wasn’t just Christians it defended. It was free speech, the oil industry, common sense and such. It also had great political commentary and wasn’t afraid to hit both sides of the spectrum if they did something wrong.” Indeed, almost all other national media sources seem to go out of their way to be accommodating to all other beliefs and creeds, but will never miss an opportunity to belittle, denigrate and insult Christians and their beliefs. Sun would point out how the open season on Christianity was never-ending in today’s society. No one else would, because they were the ones doing the hunting.
Even if you hated everything people like Sun News Network stand (stood) for, you should acknowledge our society needs people who stand up and ask hard questions. I was reminded of this a few weeks ago. I was driving along a country road and I stopped to take a few photos of an industrial site for possible use in my own newspaper, Pipeline News. Within a minute, two pickup trucks rushed to my position on a public road, boxing me in. One person who worked at that site came up to my window and demanded to know what I was doing. I calmly explained, including the part where from a public road I can take pictures of anything I damn well pleased. She didn’t like that. I finally had to tell her that 12 people in Paris had died a couple days earlier in the name of freedom of the press. That shut her up. In another instance I asked some really hard questions of First Nation protesters at a pipeline open house. One of the protesters, who had introduced himself as a journalism student, took issue with my questions. “You’re not asking proper questions!” he exclaimed. “You mean I’m not
asking CBC questions,” I replied. This is what happens when people are unwilling to stand up to bullies. Their own self-importance, be it corporate, political correctness, or just someone being a jerk, will soon walk over
all those too meek to resist. The Sun has set. Who now will ask the hard questions? Inquiring minds want to know. — Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian. zinchuk@sasktel.net.

The Battlefords,Thursday, February 19, 2015 - Page 6
Concert roundup: Ulmer et al this weekend Staff There is no shortage of musical entertainment coming up, including some locally produced professional talent – this ain’t no amateur night. Coming up in March, according to Laird Brittin of the Battlefords Jazz Society, is a show that’s “going to groove!” The Connor Newton Quintet, with special guests, will be performing live at the Sloan Auditorium, (lower level of the Legion in North Battleford) Saturday, March 14 at 8 p.m. “Connor is a Battlefords boy who took off to the big city (Toronto) to study saxophone,” says Brittin. “He is back in town for a bit and
has put together a band with the who’s who of the Battlefords.” Joining Newton will be Don Tatchell on drums, Jack Tatchell on trumpet, Ross Nykiforuk on keys and Tom Kroczinski on bass. “Connor says that he’s got some great funky stuff that he will be playing, along with some Cuban and Samba tunes,” says Brittin. “So don’t expect to sit and sip your red wine all night. This music is going to have some get up and go!” Tickets are $25 and available at NuFloors and BeeJ’s. The Jazz Society will be switching up venues in April, presenting Elizabeth Shepherd in concert on Saturday, April 11 at 8 p.m. at the
Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts. Shepherd is a well-known musician to the Battlefords having played here a number of times in the past five years. “She has a brand new album out and it is getting unbelievably rave reviews,” says Brittin. The album has ended up on the best of 2014 lists all across North America. It has also been nominated for a Juno this year. “We are extremely excited to be presenting this amazing performer here in the Battlefords.” Tickets are $25 and available at the Dekker Centre Box Office as well as NuFloors and Bee-J’s. But before these concerts
hit the stage, there is yet another jazz experience on offering. Brittin says, “You will not want to miss the Friends Remembered show at the Dekker Centre on Feb. 20 featuring the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra and Ross Ulmer … this will be a fantastic jazz show with some of the top players in western Canada.” Tickets for Friends Remembered are available at the Dekker Centre Box Office. Student tickets are half price at $15, seniors are $25 and adults are $30, plus applicable taxes and fees.
Elizabeth Shepherd is among numerous musicians to be bringing their talent to the Battlefords in the near future. Photo submitted

felt when I first fell in love with big band jazz.” Ulmer, formerly of North Battleford, now an auto dealership owner in Lloydminster, has been involved in music since his days with the North Battleford City Kinsmen Band. “In my formative years I had incredible guidance from my first band leader, Norm Lehman, and was given a free hand at the University of Saskatchewan to pursue interests in dance band and jazz ensemble even though formal instruction was not available,” he says. He holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Saskatchewan and a master’s of music in trombone from North Texas State University. “Until I was 19, the only jazz I ever heard was a couple of Tommy Dorsey albums of my dad’s,” says Ulmer. He was introduced to the thrill of live jazz in 1972 at the Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts, which had brought in national faculty for a week long clinic, including names such as world famous trombonist Phil Wilson (who would become a mentor and sometime instructor to Ulmer), Lyle Mays, Lou Marini, John LaPorta, Wes Hensel, Rich Matteson (a prime influence on his attending North Texas State University) and Ashley Alexander. “On the first night the staff put on a concert – well from the first note of that concert to the last – my leg wouldn’t quit moving (not my foot, my whole leg!) – and the smile didn’t leave my face as I was literally thrilled with the music, the soloist, the beat, the sound – it was tremendous,” says Ulmer. Later, he had the chance to play in the staff band at the Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts as a teacher himself. He had the pleasure of playing a big band concert every night with some of the best professional musicians and educators in North America. “It was thrilling and powerful,” says Ulmer. He hopes the Friends Re-
membered concert will give students and adults an opportunity to “feel a little bit of that thrill.” Ulmer says the concert is of particular interest to anyone who currently plays or has ever played in a band program. He adds the musicians will also be providing free master class workshops in the morning of the concert for interested band members of the North Battleford school system. This week. Ulmer said they’ve had response from local teachers that they will be using all the clinicians, so he is happy about that. He also believes every instrumentalist will benefit from the concert by a group of musicians who he says surpass any he’s performed with in Saskatchewan since returning to the province in 1980. “It is so good I believe every instrumentalist should hear the group – like me, it may be the reason students end up with a lifelong passion for music,” says Ulmer. The idea for the tour was born within a week of playing a concert last year with the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra. The theme of Friends Remembered was inspired by introducing a tune he dedicated to a friend who had passed away. Frank Mantooth, the Kansas pianist, composer, arranger, clinician, author and educator, had arranged the piece for another of Ulmer’s friends who had also passed away, trombonist Ashley Alexander. (The Utah born musician died while teaching at the Summer School of the Arts Fort Qu’Appelle campus in 1988.) Included in the musical lineup for the Friends Remembered Tour is a “rollicking fun and humorous” tune called Colonel Corn, written by Phil Wilson, that was played often when Ulmer was teaching at summer jazz camps in the late 1970s and ‘80s. It’s no longer in print, so Ulmer emailed Wilson, who teaches at Berklee College of Music in Boston, wanting to buy a copy. “Within two weeks,” says
Ulmer, “he had sent me a copy, free of charge!” It’s one of the reasons Ulmer thinks this concert was meant to be. Another is the response he got from an arranger he knows from his two years of playing with the RCMP Band in Ottawa when he asked if he could rework an arrangement of his for jazz ensemble. “The answer was yes at a price so ridiculously low it was practically free,” says Ulmer. “This concert is mean to be! Members of the band include: Brad Shigeta, who has toured the world as lead trombone and soloist with the Duke Ellington Orchestra under Mercer Ellington’s lead; Ray Vasquez, professor of trumpet at Auburn University, Alabama, who is in demand around the world, having done clinics from Bangok, Thailand to Minneapolis, Minnesota; Dean McNeil, professor of music at the U of S and founder of the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra; Jim Brenan, an exciting tenor sax player who has released numerous solo recordings; Paul Read, pianist and saxophonist recently retired as professor of music at the University of Toronto; Sheldon Corbett, a tenor sax player who makes his living as a professional musician in Saskatoon – and father of one of the Juno Award-winning Sheep Dogs; and Jon McCaslin, who studied at McGill University and the University of Toronto; Ulmer says the band also includes Barrie Redford, Dawn McLean-Belyk, Don Schmidt and Doug Gilmour “who are all personal friends from Saskatoon and each a fantastic player.” Friends Remembered will be presented Friday in Saskatoon at 7:30 p.m. at the Broadway Theatre, at the Vic Juba Theatre in Lloydminster Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and at the Dekker Centre in North Battleford at 2:30 p.m.

Vintage ceiling tiles get new lease on life By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter Battleford Town Council has approved spending $25,327 for the sandblasting and powder coating of vintage metal ceiling tiles of the Battleford Opera House as part of the project to refurbish the historic facility. The cost will be covered by funds from grant money received last year, said Town Administrator Sheryl Ballendine during Monday night’s council meeting. The tiles, which are original to the 1912 building, will be powder coated in an offwhite colour in preparation for re-installing them. Each tile was been numbered as they were taken down in 2009. They have been in storage since then. Ballendine had examples of the tiles before and after the process to show council members. The Opera House, the upper floor of the classicallyinspired Town Hall, was once the cultural centre for the

it fell into disuse after a fire in 1965. There is now a plan for the Opera House to be refurbished it to its original condition, including its horse hair dance floor, one of only two in the province. An addition to the east side of the building is to provide access, house washrooms and elevator and a coffee shop. Topping it off is to be an enclosed viewing area with a 360-degree vista. The interior of the Opera House has already been stripped and new insulation and windows have been installed. Land has also been purchased for use as a parking lot. The project design is in the hands of Rajani Blaser Mannix Architecture and there is also a committee in place.

Despite some challenging times in 2014, the local Hyundai dealership in the Battlefords has received some positive recognition for their efforts. North Battleford Hyundai was announced as a 2014 President’s Award of Merit winner. The President’s Award of Merit is awarded to the top 15 Hyundai dealerships across Canada, with Grimsby Hyundai gaining the top overall score. Of the 15, North Battleford Hyundai is one of four Western Canada dealerships honoured, with the other three being based in British Columbia. Usually it is the eastern dealerships that sweep the awards, according to Gord
Pidde, general manager at North Battleford Hyundai. To be one of the 15 national winners is “quite an honour,” he said. North Battleford Hyundai received recognition in the “D” category based on the size of the dealership. There are 204 Hyundai stores across Canada, and North Battleford Hyundai competed with 61 other stores of like size in their category to attain the recognition. The award is in recognition and appreciation of the outstanding work that their dealers have been doing, according to Hyundai’s announcement. The criteria is based on market share, new car sales, used car sales, certified pre-owned Hyundai sales, customer satisfaction ratings for both parts and service and the sales department, aged inventory and accessory sales.
Points are awarded and at the end of the year the top 15 are selected based on that. The honour is perhaps even more rewarding for North Battleford Hyundai due to some trying circumstances at their dealership last year. A fire and smoke damage forced them to restore and replace the entire front end of their building. The dealership was forced to work out of trailers for a few months, and car sales were conducted out of the Credit Union CUplex for a time as well. Pidde paid tribute to what he called the “great support” shown by customers in the Battlefords and area. “We want to thank the Battlefords and area for helping us get there,” said Pidde. “We can’t do it without the customers.” He also paid credit to the staff for “doing an outstanding job.”
Chamber tweaks details of two major events By John Cairns Staff Reporter The Battlefords Chamber of Commerce is readying for another active year in 2015. Preliminary preparations for their major events were a main focus Tuesday at a monthly board of directors meeting, the first since the swearing in of president Brendon Boothman and the new executive earlier this month. Two big events coming back in October will be the
BBEX awards ceremonies slated for Tuesday, Oct. 6 and Battlefords Best Marketplace and Expo later in the month. Chamber Executive Director Linda Machniak indicated a revision could be coming to the date for the Battlefords Best show. Normally, the event is scheduled to coincide with the end of Small Business Week, which would mean the show dates would fall on Oct. 23-25. But those dates would have potentially put the Battlefords Best show directly up against the hospital foun-

dation’s ladies’ night event again this fall. It also would pit them against the Home Show in Saskatoon, a situation that also transpired last year. It now looks as if the earlier dates of Oct. 16-18 will be set for the Battlefords Best event, which would mean the show would kick off Small Business Week instead of run at the end of it. Machniak indicated she would confirm those dates with the City. The intention is to once again hold the event at the NationsWEST Field House, as has been the case the previous two years. Also a major item at the meeting are potential changes coming to the annual BBEX awards ceremonies, based on discussions at the BBEX committee’s recent meeting. Machniak reported that one change could see nominations for the prestigious Business of the Year category determined based on nominations submitted for all the awards categories. Right now, the Business of the Year award requires a separate nomination package. The other potential change is to do away with the format of serving hors d’oeuvres and go back to a banquet format. It was also noted by Machniak that Lloydminster had gone back to a banquet format for its event. No final decisions have been made, however. Other events planned for the year include the Chamber Golf Challenge Friday, May 22 at North Battleford Golf and Country Club, as well as the annual post-budget breakfast presentation by Ken Krawetz expected in late March. A firm date for that budget presentation is still to be confirmed.

By John Cairns Staff Reporter The future of the rundown properties at the corner of 11th Avenue and 102nd Street in North Battleford should be known fairly soon. A request for proposals has gone out to potential purchasers interested in the properties at 10103 and 10107 - 11th Ave. The abandoned property has become so derelict and pigeon-infested it has been nicknamed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pigeon Hotelâ&#x20AC;? by local residents. The property consists of the former Sallows and Boyd building and an adjoining building. There have been two prior attempts by developers to rehabilitate the buildings, both of which ended with the prospective purchasers walking away. This RFP is seen as the final attempt to save the buildings from the wrecking ball. The RFP is for proposals not only to purchase the buildings but also renovate them. According to the posting, proposals must include a signed letter of intent, an executive summary, conceptual design and development plan, evidence of financing capacity and qualifications and experience. Sealed proposals are to be received by the City Clerk until 3 p.m., March 2. Should no viable proposals emerge, the likelihood is the future of the properties will return to city council for a decision on demolition. City administration has been granted authorization by council to investigate demolition options.
The overall calls for service were down for the month from 960 in January 2014 to 760 last month. That drop, according to the monthly report to the city of North Battlefordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning Committee from Battlefords RCMP Insp. John Sutherland, was attributed to occurrence reports no longer generated for each background or criminal record check done by the detachment. Some increases in certain statistical categories were noted, particularly in persons and criminal code offences. Person offences were up to 73 in January compared to 51 a year earlier; residential break and enters were up to five from four; and criminal code offences were up to 109 from 93. Among persons offences, common assaults were up for the month. Robberies were up 200 per cent for the month, but in fact this represented an increase from one to three instances, according to the report. Business break and enters saw no change from a year earlier, with two offences reported, and there were declines in property offences from 157 to 152 and in drug offences from 15 to 10. Provincial traffic offences also
fell from 133 to 85 and impaired operation of a motor vehicle fell from 24 to 20. Liquor Act offences did increase from 30 to 32 and motor vehicle collisions went up from 21 to 30. There were eight foot patrols recorded by the RCMP and also numerous vehicle patrols in January. In addition to the RCMP, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Safety Officers performed 19 foot patrols. In addition to the RCMP report, Fire Chief Albert Headrick delivered the report of municipal enforcement activities and noted they continued to concentrate on school zones in January. They continue with downtown patrols though they are noticing fewer problems. The Community Safety Officers have also been checking licence plates and registrations and have issued a substantial amount of tickets due to a high number of unregistered vehicles on the roads. Headrick said at the planning committee meeting there is â&#x20AC;&#x153;zero toleranceâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to driving without a licence or registration of a vehicle, as vehicles can be impounded for three days with fines of $580.

Saturday night schoolhouse dance in 1953 By Richard W. Hiebert President, Battlefords Heritage Society In 1953, I was five years old. I lived with my parents on a farm in Saskatchewan – beyond the power grid. No indoor plumbing (outdoor bif 40 yards from the house), no electric lights, heat from a wood stove, no telephones, no television and no computers. Despite this, my childhood was wonderful, filled with adventure and new things to learn, exploring all there was to explore with my cousins. We played three-man scrub in the summer and hockey on a nearby slough in the winter. Did kids have more fun in those days without Xboxes and iPhones? I’m sure we did. Adults? Well, I recall the many
visits from and to neighbours with my parents staying up until all hours, visiting, laughing and playing cards. And there was the round of house parties, annual district picnics, school Christmas concerts, monthly visits to town and, in the winter, the Saturday night dances in the schoolhouse (where my mother taught Grades 1 to 9) just across the grid road from our farm. Yes, I think our parents enjoyed life much more than parents do in this hectic, instant-communications age with every conceivable luxury at their very fingertips. This essay should prove it. During the winter, there was a dance every Saturday night. Admission was 25 cents for adults. Children were free. Our parents were expected to bring bologna sandwiches and squares or cookies. Coffee was

provided. A huge cauldron of the hot, dark liquid burbled and perked during the entire evening and night. My mother and dad had the hall ready for the night’s festivities long in advance – snow cleared, fire burning in the barrel stove, a string of coal oil lamps lit, outdoor toilets ready (with Sears and Eaton’s catalogues), cash box with change, coffee made, etc. People started showing up early in horse-drawn sleighs and cabooses, Model A cars, late 1940s cars, half-tons, onetons and on foot. I remember the billowing, swirling fog when warm met bitter cold as people came through the front door. Despite that everyone had come together for a dance only a week ago, everyone greeted each other as if meeting a long lost friend or relative – men shaking hands vigorously and women hugging – laughing, joking and light banter. Farmers, of course, soon engaged in conversations on farming – cattle, the price of grain and how much snow. My cousins and I took stock and reintroduced ourselves to our neighbours’ kids. It was going to be a good night of solid fun. Yes sir. The orchestra arrived at the schoolhouse early and begin tuning up. It was considered a

great honour for a local musician to play for a Saturday night dance. Music was typically provided by a trio playing guitar (a banjo sometimes), accordion and fiddle respectively. Occasionally, the school piano was added if someone could be found to play it. It was strictly an amateur affair but that mattered not at all. There were no amplifiers and no microphones. The musicians did not sing nor were they polished instrumentalists. Didn’t matter. They had great appeal. They likely knew about 12 songs (which they played over and over all night long) – two old time waltzes, two polkas, two schottisches, two fox trots, two two-steps and two square dances. There was always someone in the crowd who could call a square dance. Interestingly, Saturday night dances of 60 years ago enjoyed the services of a floor manager whose job was to wax the floor (sprinkle dance wax) and keep the dance going smoothly. The dance music was composed entirely of old time tunes. The orchestra always started with two old time waltzes, and there was always a space of time between any two dance tunes – enough to allow couples to walk once around the floor. The dance area was small and crowded, so it didn’t take much time to go around once. The orchestra played in sets of two. After the old time waltz set, the floor manager usually called for a fox trot. And from there, the dance floor began to really heat up – schottisches and polkas. Everyone, young and old, was up for it. Farmers were in great physical condition in those days as a consequence of daily hard labour. There was a 40-minute break for lunch at midnight (which gave everyone a chance to visit). The dance generally lasted until 5 a.m. at which point parents bundled up their children and headed home to do chores. No sleep. One of the primary differences between dances then and dances now is that back then there was no bar. That did not mean there was no alcohol present because most of the

men (and some of the more adventurous women) came well supplied. The beverage of choice was whiskey followed by rum and vodka, and home brew (powerful stuff). In contrast to today, where almost everyone (those adults who consume alcohol at dances) imbibes inside the dance hall after having purchased a drink with mix at the bar (run by a bartender and his or her assistant), at a 1953 country dance no one drank anything inside the hall except coffee. Outside it was a different story. A nod of the head and a farmer would invite a buddy (or perhaps three or four friends) out for a shot of 50 proof rye straight up – no mix. In the subculture of the day, this was how many men expressed hospitality and bonded. These rituals were always accompanied by revelry, jokes and laughter and fight predictions (later). And, downing a couple of shots of straight rye at a country dance, was a right of passage for most young men because it symbolized entry into the hyper-masculine world of rural men (wives were usually the designated drivers for their husbands and children). Then the bitter cold persuaded the revellers (not wearing coats, and often shirts wet and frozen with sweat) to head back into the hall to do the polka, or perhaps the schottische – until it was time for another round of hospitality. Remarkably, most men did not over imbibe, but of course there were always a few, and a few teenagers who could not walk by the end of the dance. As a professional DJ for 18 years and band leader for 20 years previous who has played for and DJd hundreds of wedding and community dances, I can tell you that nothing has changed in this regard over the decades. The Saturday night dances were huge fun for kids. We chased each other around inside and outside. We wrestled each other. We tried to dance the schottische with our mothers’ coaching on the far side of the dance floor. We stole cookies and we traded cook-

ies. When we finally exhausted ourselves at about 3 a.m., our mothers would tuck us in under some desks to sleep for the remainder of the dance. Every dance had a stag line of young male hopefuls who would give anything to dance just once with a pretty young girl. In fact, she didn’t have to be pretty – just female. The line stretched from the edge of the dance floor back into the porch. The young pretenders jockeyed for position throughout the evening. It wasn’t that there were no girls. There were many – dancing with each other – waiting for a young man to ask them to dance. What was lacking? Courage. What if she said no? A fate worse than death. Finally, after frequent trips out for double shots, a young man threw caution to the wind, walked smartly over to where the girls were sitting and asked politely for a dance. There now, that wasn’t too bad now was it? The example was set and soon others joined in to make a night of it. Every dance had a fight. It wasn’t really an angry fight. Every district had its stalwart who vied for the championship. Everyone knew who was going to fight whom, and approximately when. At about two a.m., the challenger deliberately walked into the current champion and invited him outside. The music stopped. The hall cleared. The men formed a ring while the women crowded into the porch. Children were kept in the hall and not allowed to see the fight. Some of us weaseled our way out by the vehicles for a ringside seat anyway. Women cried and pleaded with their husbands not to fight (knowing they would fight, of course). The fighters squared off and circled as their supporters yelled encouragement. There were three rules – no hair pulling, no gouging and no kicking. The contestants were invariably in superb condition (from daily hard farm work) so there was little chance of serious injury. Then they engaged– shoving, pushing, punching, wrestling, bear hugging. The fight lasted until the fighters were exhausted. At this point, my dad (six feet, three inches, 285 pounds and strong enough to lift a 45-gallon drum of gasoline on to a half-ton truck) waded in and pulled them up with the instructions, “OK boys, shake hands, have a drink and let’s go back in the hall.” It wasn’t uncommon to see the two pugilists laughing, arms around each others’ shoulders stumbling back into the hall. It was a real fight, but nobody got real upset – not even the loser. So, did we have more fun at a Saturday night dance back in 1953? We did.

Jackfish Golf Centre GM named president of Canadian Golf Association Staff The Canadian Golf Superintendents Association elected five of its 10 member board of directors for 2015 at their Feb. 4 annual general meeting in Calgary. Jackfish Lodge Golf and Conference Centre GM Kyle Kellgren was elected to a one-year term as president. The Saskatchewan director position is filled by Pierre Vezeau, who represents the Cooke Municipal Golf Course in Prince Albert. Kellgren thanked past president Christian Pilon for the commitment he showed to the CGSA, and his leader-

ship in facing the financial issues the association faces. He says he hopes to continue working towards a strong future. “Our role is to ensure that superintendents across Canada are supported and promoted in their professional activities,” Kellgren said in a release from the CGSA. “CGSA continues to work on a daily basis to achieve that mission.” Kellgren has been the superintendent at Jackfish Lodge since 2008, and it also a member of the Battlefords North Stars board of directors.
The Battlefords Stars were back home Wednesday night for a marquee match up in Saskatchewan Midget AAA League play. It was a penalty-filled, at times chippy, but ultimately close and exciting contest, but the Stars ended up on the wrong end of a 5-3 final score to the Tisdale Trojans. The Stars had some chances early on against the Trojans’ netminder Justen Close, and seemed to have the early jump on their opponents in the first period at the Civic Centre. But the Stars took the first penalty of the game, a cross checking call to Troy Gerein at 8:12, which was quickly nullified by a hooking penalty six seconds later to Kalem Zary of Tisdale. With just seconds left on that 4-on-4 situation, the Stars’ Connor Manegre was then called for checking from behind and a game misconduct with 9:54 left in the first. The Stars were in survival mode from that moment on as Tisdale swarmed the Stars’ end of the ice. A shot fired by Drew Warkentine finally beat netminder Brett Pongracz to make it 1-0 Trojans at 10:35. Zary and Josh McDougall assisted. But then the Trojans ran into penalty trouble of their own. A Stars power play followed but fizzled out, and then at 15:12 Warkentine went off for a head-contact penalty. The Stars took full advantage of that power play as Layne Young fired the puck past Close and into the net, with Brandon Lesko assisting to make it 1-1 at 15:57. It was Young’s 29th goal of the season. But with 24 seconds left McDougall from Parker McCormick gave Tisdale the lead again at 2-1 and that wrapped up the first period scoring. Shots were 12-11 Stars after one. In the second period a shot from Spencer Bast early on was stopped, as the teams went back and forth in the first few minutes of the period. A penalty to Zary for slashing put the Stars back on the power play
at 1:33 but they were unable to capitalize. A penalty to Tyler Baier at 6:49 for head contact put the Stars behind the eight ball again as McCormick caught the rebound from Pongracz’s initial save, and fired it in to make it 3-1 at the 7:34 mark. Zary and McDougall assisted. The Stars’ penalty problems continued as Kaelan Holt went off for tripping and then Gerein for slashing. That led to a brief two-man advantage for Tisdale midway through the second. Fortunately the Stars managed to kill off both penalties. Nothing came of a Stars power play late in the second, and the period ended with Tisdale seemingly in command with a 3-1 lead, even though the Stars out shot them 25-21. The third period began with the Stars and Trojans trading power play opportunities, and trading shots on goal. Somehow, some way, a shot from Young at 4:56 beat Close and narrowed the score to 3-2, with Lesko assisting. It was Young’s 30th of the season. The two teams traded penalties and the Stars racked up a huge shots advantage, 38-23 at one point. It was on that 38th shot that they finally broke through. With Warkentine in the box for interference the Stars tied the game with seconds left on the power play opportunity as Jared Hillis got his 11th of the
season from Gerein and Braydon Buziak at 10:09. But when Hillis was called for head contact at 13:36, the Trojans had another power play opportunity and they took advantage as they stormed the Stars’ end of the ice. A shot by Tanner Nagel hit the post, but the rebound eventually made its way to Wyatt Riendeau. And he put it in the net at 15:23 to give the Trojans a 4-3 lead. Nagel and Caleb Seaman had the assists. With time ticking down and the Stars forced to pull Pongracz for the extra attacker, a late penalty to Gerein for high sticking sealed their fate. An empty netter by Seaman with 22 seconds left made it a 5-3 final score for Tisdale. It was a waste of what was a tremendous effort offensively for the Stars. The final shot count was 42-29 for the Stars. Tisdale now moves to 336-0-3 on the season while the Stars have dropped to fifth at 25-14-0-1. They head to Notre Dame for games against the Hounds and Argos this weekend, followed by another road game in Saskatoon against the Contracts next week. The final AAA Stars next home game is not until Feb. 28 against the Argos, with the Stars hoping to fill the stands for that final home game at the Civic Centre before the playoffs begin.

NORTH STARS vs. Melfort
Saskatchewan picked up its first gold medal at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C Tuesday. North Battleford native Matthew Hudec was the recipient of the medal, finishing at the top of the biathlon 10-kilometre male sprint event. Hudec also finished fifth in the 15-kilometre individual biathlon event. As of Wednesday morning it was the fifth medal Saskatchewan had won, adding it to the two silver and two bronzes won previously. Madison Hart of Regina won silver in the archery compound individual female event, while the male team won silver in target shooting
air pistol. The bronze medals were both team events, with two female teams taking the podium. It was target shooting air pistol and target shooting air rifle in which team Saskatchewan picked up bronze medals. Other notable northwest athletes include Battleford’s own Andrea Ornawka finishing ninth in the freestyle skiing slopestyle female event. Ornawka also competed in the freestyle skiing big air female event coming in 18th. Jason Reimer of North Battleford also competed in the 10 and 15-kilometre individual biathlon events, coming in 14th and 15th respectively. Chloe Bargen of Medstead finished 17th in the 12.5-kilometre individual
female biathlon and 22nd in the 7.5-kilometre sprint. The super G male skiing event had plenty of northwest talent taking part, with North Battleford native Devin McAllister finishing 34th, Louis Lacoursiere of Delmas coming 42nd, and Mitchell Harris of Landis finishing 54th. Harris also competed in the giant slalom male event coming 37th. Kayla Hartley of Livelong finished 34th in the 7.5 sprint female and 12.5-kilometre individual biathlon events. Amy Lacoursiere, also from Delmas, finished 46th in the giant slalom female, and 57th in the super G female events. Finally Seairra Stapleton of Maidstone came in 61st in the super G female event. In female hockey, Saskatchewan dropped their first game 2-1 to Manitoba before
bouncing back with a 6-0 win over Nova Scotia, then dropping a 2-1 overtime decision to Alberta. AAA Sharks captain Jetta Derenoski was held pointless through their first three games. The male hockey begins Sunday after the female event wraps up tomorrow. Medal standings as of Wednesday morning had Quebec in first place with 10 gold, six silver and eight bronzes for 24 total medals. Ontario is in close second with eight gold, seven silver and six bronzes for 21 medals. Alberta and British Columbia are tied for third, each having won the exact same amount of medals with five gold, six silver and six bronze. Saskatchewan is a distant fourth with five medals.
Track club racks up medal count By Craig Beauchemin Sports reporter The North Battleford Legion track club has attended three track meets so far this season.

North Stars slow down high-flying Hounds By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter The Battlefords North Stars (26-19-6-1) were looking to carry the momentum
from their win in Weyburn on Family Day into their game against the Notre Dame Hounds (31-14-1-4) Tuesday. Thanks to another strong effort in goal from Spencer
Tremblay, they did just that. The North Stars got goals from Igor Leonenko and Matthew Havens along with 31 saves from Tremblay en route to a 3-2 win. The game didn’t start the

One hundred eighty people came to Jackfish Lake to test their angling abilities. First place went to Jason Wolf of Black Diamond, Alta. who won the 21-2S Vectra pontoon boat for his 6.65-pound pike. The boat retails for over $30,000. Saskatoon’s Mike McLeod won a seven-day Caribbean cruise with his second place 5.25-pound fish. Rounding out the top three was Jerry Banks of Fort Qu’Appelle who won a trip to Las Vegas with a 4.85-pound pike.

way the North Stars would have liked, as they fell behind 2-0 in the first period. Sam Aulie scored his 19th of the year 9:14 into the game from Ian Williams and Carter Hikichi, then five minutes later it was Cory Anderson doubling the lead with an unassisted goal. Just seven seconds after Ryan Donovan was sent to the penalty box for tripping with two and a half minutes remaining in the period, Leonenko made him pay by scoring to cut the lead in half. Jake McMillen and Brady O’Sullivan were credited with the assists. The first period saw the Hounds outshoot the North Stars by a 9-6 margin. The Hounds held the lead in a tight-checking second period until Havens scored his fifth of the year, and first since Jan. 17, to tie the game at two. Leonenko and Jake Erickson picked up the assists. With two minutes remaining in the period, it was Leonenko scoring his second of the game, seventh of the year, from Havens to give the North Stars the lead. After missing the majority of the year with injuries, Leonenko now has 13 points in 17 games. The North Stars leaned on Tremblay in the third period as they were outshot by a 13-4 margin but held on for
the 3-2 win. The win gives the North Stars 59 points on the season, seemingly guaranteeing them a seventh place finish in the standings. They are 10 points ahead of eighth-place Humboldt (22-24-5-0) but seven points back of sixth place Flin Flon with six games remaining. The Bombers (27-12-6-6) also have a game in hand on the North Stars. Finishing in seventh would force the North Stars to play a five-game survivor series against the 10th place team, which as of Wednesday
would be the Estevan Bruins (20-24-1-6). If there’s a team the North Stars need momentum playing against, it’s the leagueleading Melfort Mustangs (36-7-3-5) who visit the Civic Centre tomorrow. Not only do the Mustangs boast SJHL scoring leader Travis Mayan, who has 34 goals and 41 assists, they also have Richard Palmer in goal who sports a 1.81 goals against average and a .931 save percentage on the season. It’s the fourth and final meeting of the season between the two teams. The North Stars picked up a 4-3 shootout win in Melfort Nov. 5, before dropping a 4-2 decision at home Nov. 28 and being shutout 3-0 in Melfort Jan. 9. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

Wapiti library hosts First Nations music, storytelling Submitted Living Sky School Division LEOVILLE — Twentythree years after graduating from Grade 12 at Leoville School, First Nation musician and storyteller Jason Chamakese returned to share his gifts with the students and staff of his old school. This was part of a tour of five communities with singer and drummer Robert Gladue from Waterhen Lake, sponsored by the Wapati Regional Library. Jason and Robert also visited Tisdale, Carrot River, Prince Albert and Spiritwood to share First Nations’ culture with students and adults through music and story telling. Stories and music are a way of sharing positive messages that are universal, says Chamakese, who draws on Cree and other First Nations traditions to “create awareness and establish pathways for dialogue.” He doesn’t like the concept of tolerance between races, which he thinks implies “just putting up with each other,” but rather acceptance. Being able to look at each other with healthy respect, and begin the dialogue that brings peace and understanding. Chamakese’s own experience was challenging. He says he got along well with people, and wasn’t subjected to a lot of “in your face” racism at Leoville School, but this was partly due to his outgoing nature. There
were invisible barriers, such as funnelling First Nation students into alternate academic choices when they might well have succeeded in the regular stream with a little more help and support. As well, there was a degree of social isolation, especially for First Nation students who weren’t as socially confident as he was. “I could cross through that invisible line, but others couldn’t, and many of them didn’t finish school.” That’s part of what motivates Chamakese to use traditional music with modern relevance. He and singer Gladue move easily between traditional stories and songs, and original pieces that include topics all young people encounter, like Facebook drama and cyber-bullying. Both these artists have spent years learning their respective arts, and are com-
mitted to keeping Cree language, stories and music alive, as well as honouring other First Nation traditions, such as flute playing. The flute was not a Cree instrument originally, but plays a large role among First Nations of the Dakotas. Chamakese calls what he does, “taking small steps towards mutual respect.” For Ron Craswell, board member with the Wapiti Regional Library, this has to do with the nature of young people. “What they learn through entertainment, they remember.” Chamakese has been studying and playing the flute for 17 years, and has been nominated for a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award. Gladue is a 26-yearold singer and drummer from Waterhen Lake First Nation, who sings both modern and traditional songs.
Jason Chamakese, flute player and storyteller, and Robert Gladue, drummer and singer, have been touring five communities as guests of the Wapiti Regional Library. Chamakese plays a flute traditional to First Nations of the Dakotas, and tells traditional stories. Robert Gladue, from Waterhen Lake, sings and plays the drum. He performs both traditional and modern songs, many of which he wrote and composed himself. They recently made a presentation to students, staff, and visitors at Leoville School. Photo submitted
LSSD: Brain dance increases emotional balance Continued from Page 17 These developmental deficits result, according to Johnson, from a combination of too much screen time for young children, and too much of the day spent restrained in car seats and high chairs. As well, other parents may be over attentive “helicopter parents” who don’t let children do enough for themselves. The answer in terms of increasing their ability to learn is more movement, much more.
Among the challenges faced by Living Sky’s prekindergarten teachers and educational assistants is how to use limited classroom space and even more limited school hours to enhance their students’ well-being in this regard. In order to develop greater body awareness and spatial sense, Johnson is training them to use five-minute periods of brain dance within the existing space in their classroom. This involves considerable
creativity on the part of the teachers, and is slightly different in each of the 10 prekindergarten classrooms. While there is an obvious and almost immediate improvement in children’s fine and gross motor skills through these activities, there is also a very real improvement in their ability to learn. Johnson stresses the use of balance and activities that involve both sides of the body in crossover patterning. Through the connection
between mind and body, this helps students pay better attention to their learning and be more balanced emotionally, as well as physically. But what can parents do to help? Johnson suggests that parents “get out of the way” and let children do more for themselves, spending less time looking at an electronic screen and restrained in high chairs and bucket seats. It is natural for children to struggle, crawling, sitting up and even falling over. If they

are kept from doing this for whatever reason, they don’t develop the same confidence and independence over time. While it’s odd to suggest that parents do less, in this case it seems to be part of the answer. “There won’t be a huge shift at first,” Johnson warns, but over time students will make better choices and have an easier time learning as dance, movement and balance become more a part of their daily lives.

All those SLOJs need to be done before spring jiminy there is going to be a step extension put on it. You have to have six-foot long legs just to get into it. I am quite a bit shorter. I have some things to do to the spare airseeder cart, as I want to use it to meter grain out into my grinder and pellet mill I have set up at the elevator. I need to be able to run the meters with a small electric motor and we need to make the brackets to do that. These SLOJs have to get done and out of the way. We soon need to start getting ready to clean seed although that is not a big project as the wheat is already in the elevator, but it has to get done. In political news in Ottawa, John Baird, foreign affairs minister has quit. This caused Stephen Harper to shuffle his cabinet and he appointed Rob Nickolson to foreign affairs. Jason Kenney is the new defense minister and Pierre Pailierre has taken over from Jason Kenney as employment and social development minister. John Mulcair NDP leader was quick to call the new minister as weak. That is what he is expected to say. I personally thought they were three excellent choices but it matters not what I think because on Oct. 19, we will have an election and the people will decide. Oil price drops have put Alberta Premier Jim Prentice in a tight spot as he tries to balance the 2015
ic’s
View By Victor Hult
Regular contributor to newsoptimist.ca budget. More than any other government, Alberta has suffered the largest losses in oil tax revenue. They have a $44.4 billion budget in Alberta and have suffered a loss of $4 billion. That is providing oil moves up to $70 a barrel. It currently is $50 a barrel. Premier Prentice has proposed a nine per cent cut back in government budget to make the books balance. Sixty to 70 per cent of the Alberta budget is wages. Right away the unions are against it. The Alberta Union of Public Employees is against it. The teachers’ union is against it. The doctors and nurses are against it. Brian Mason and the NDP are against it. They all know there has to be cuts but they want the cuts on someone else. Premier Prentice has pledged there be no sales tax, no increase in personal or corporate tax in the province. His choices are limited. Jim Prentice will have to call an election and just like Ralph Klein before him depend on the “silent majority.” The people will decide.
My hat is off to the farmer owners of the Northwest terminal in Unity. They have completed an expansion of their rail facility so both CN and CP can bring rail cars. The loading track will hold 300 cars. They are thinking they could load 300 cars a week. My farmer calculation tells me that is one million bushels a week. That is just fantastic. I wish them luck as railroads have not been very dependable suppliers lately. I think their leg is going to be warm.
They also have a plant on the same site processing 25,000 tonnes of ethanol a year. They also have a rail spur to load oil. All of this built by farmers working together. My congratulations to Ray and Bev Stewart who celebrated 55 years together Feb. 12. Ray said it wasn’t hard, the years just went by and for the first 30 years he was out on the drilling rig so there was nothing to fight about. May they have many, many more anniversaries to celebrate. Joke of the week from Jaco Coetzee: In Saskatchewan there lived a family of barn swallows — a mother, a dad and one young one. They were very cozy in their nest. Soon fall came and the weather got a lot colder. The parents decided to fly south but the young swallow said he
wasn’t going with them since he was comfortable there in the nest. Soon it got colder and it snowed a little. The young bird decided that he had to fly south, too. He started flying but it was so cold that he couldn’t keep going and soon he was so cold he crashed to the earth. As he lay there wondering how he was going to manage an old cow came along and pooed on him covering him right up. It was warm and soon the little bird was thinking he could stay there all winter. But soon the poo started to cool off and stiffen up. Just as he was wondering how he was going to get out of there, the farm cat came along, fished him out and ate him. The moral of the story is sometimes when you are down, people crap on you. Also, people who help you out, may not be your friend.

besity is a growing problem throughout the world and being overweight is associated with serious diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. A supplement isolated from green coffee beans is showing great promise in helping people lose weight, regulate blood sugar, and reduce blood pressure. Coffee beans contain a wide range of active compounds that affect our health. One of these constituents, chlorogenic acid has been shown to improve glucose metabolism, inhibit the accumulation of fat and decrease the absorption of glucose in the intestines. Roasting coffee beans destroys most of the chloregenic acid, so drinking a cup of coffee will not yield these benefits. Only raw green coffee beans contain a significant amount of this health - promoting compound, Natural Factors Green Coffee

Green Coffee Bean - Healthy Weight Loss

Bean capsules can promote weight loss as well as reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension. Scientifically proven Svetol® Green Coffee Bean Extract is made from pure, raw unroasted green coffee beans rich in chlorogenic acids and polyphenois. It contains less than 2% caffeine, making it a stimulant-free weight management supplement that is best used with a program of reduced dietary calories and increased physical activity. The beneficial qualities of green coffee bean, particularly its ability to help with weight loss, spring from its high concentration of the compound chlorogenic acid. Evidence shows that chlorogenic acid has a positive effect on our glucose metabolism. Impaired glucose metabolism can put us at risk for high blood sugar levels, obesity, diabetes

and cardiovascular disease. Chlorogenic acid inhibits the accumulation of fat, reduces post-meal blood sugar levels, and decreases the absorption of glucose in the small intestine. It accomplishes this by preventing an enzyme heptic glucose-6phosphatase, from forming glucose in the liver. Scientists suggest that the glycemic effects of chlorogenic acid play an important role in facilitating weight loss. Chlorgenic acid also has a hypertensive effect. Studies indicate that it helps reduce blood pressure and improve vasoreactivity-the response of blood vessels to stimuli. Enhanced blood flow reduces the risk of cardiac problems and brings oxygen and nourishment to tissues throughout the body. Always contact your health care provider before starting any supplement program.

Another week closer to spring. Yahoo! The weather has been cooler all week with a little warm up at the end. Days are noticeably longer. I like it. Soon us guys in this little corner of Saskatchewan will be going forward an hour following Alberta. The magical date is set for March 8. I like that, too! That is a short three weeks from now. I would happily stay on the fast time year around. No hoar frost to report, just six months from now wind and more wind. Keep your toes warm as I am sure winter is not over with us yet. On the home front Jaco has the F9000 truck finished and ready for spring. It can go back out into machinery row. There is a list of things he did to the truck. All small items but added up to a lot of time. He replaced two breathers on the truck’s differentials and checked the oil levels. Checked the gear oil and replaced the breather on the truck transmission. Greased the drive train. Replaced the glad hands hoses. Installed a used air drier and the hoses to plumb it in, replaced air hoses that were old and cracked like the PVC hose to the brake pots, rubber hose to rear control valve, air compressor discharge hose, air supply hose to air tank. He replaced the railer supply valve in cab and installed a blow-off valve on the air tanks. In addition he changed a fuel filter, adjusted the clutch and put on new wiper blades. This is the best shape and serviced this truck has been in since I’ve owned it. Now for his next project, I can bring in the sprayer or the Ford tractor or the spare air seeder cart. There are little fixes and servicing to do on all. The Ford tractor has a hydraulic leak. It also has a bad back tire that you can check the tube through the side wall. That is no good and that will be a Rhinehart Tire job. They tell me they have a good used one and that will do just fine. The sprayer needs the nozzles looked at and by

A small but determined group of Battlefords Art Club members braved the cold to create art in the Don Ross Craft Room Tuesday. Members worked with watercolour, acruylic and various drawing media to make their creations. A reminder that the Bonaventure Lions Art Auction is scheduled for March 6 with proceeds going to the BTEC building project. Chapel Gallery has several workshops over the next two months.

attending university and music schools in many places, including Toronto, Italy, New York. Ryba says she loves teaching her students, developing a personal one-on-one relationship and that watching a student grow in confidence and skill is a rewarding and exciting process. Through her teaching and adjudicating, she hopes she encourages a love of music and inspires learning that will continue throughout their lives, no matter their chosen path. She is currently the president of the Moose Jaw Music Festival Association. Ryba, her husband Greg, and six-year-old son Rundle enjoy supporting the WHL Moose Jaw Warriors, where she sings the national anthem for the home games. “Singing produces benefits and results that might surprise you”, according to businessballs.com expanding further to state “For thousands of years, in all cultures, in all parts of the world, people have been

singing. Singing is in our genes and in human nature. The urge to sing — and to hear others sing — is in all of us. Singing — like laughter, play, sunshine, countryside and exercise — helps underpin and maintain our well-being and happiness. Singing is therefore fundamentally enriching.” Additionally, as documented on ideas.time.com, there are potential benefits to be gained from group singing. When you sing, musical vibrations move through you, altering your physical and emotional landscape. Group singing, for those who have done it, is exhilarating and transformative. It takes something incredibly intimate, a sound that begins inside you, shares it with a roomful of people and it comes back as some-
thing even more thrilling: harmony. So it’s not surprising that group singing is on the rise. According to Chorus America, 32.5 million adults sing in choirs, up by almost 10 million over the past six years. As the popularity of group singing grows, science has been hard at work trying to explain why it has such a calming yet energizing effect on people. What researchers are beginning to discover is that singing is like an infusion of the perfect tranquilizer, the kind that both soothes your nerves and elevates your spirits. The elation may come from endorphins, a hormone released by singing, which is associated with feelings of pleasure. Or it might be from

Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

oxytocin, another hormone released during singing, which has been found to alleviate anxiety and stress. Oxytocin also enhances feelings of trust and bonding, which may explain why still more studies have found that singing lessons relieve feelings of depression and loneliness. A recent study even attempts to make the case that “music evolved as a tool of social living,” and that the pleasure that comes from singing together is our evolutionary reward for coming together co-operatively, instead of hiding alone, every cave-dweller for him or herself. The benefits of singing regularly seem to be cumulative. In one study, singers were found to have lower levels of cortisol, indicating lower stress. Study after study have found singing relieves anxiety and contributes to quality of life. As suggested in the Time article, group singing is cheaper than therapy and certainly more fun than working out. It is the one thing in life where feeling better is pretty much guaranteed. Even if you walked into rehearsal exhausted and depressed, by the end of the night you’ll walk out high as a kite on endorphins and good will. The current tentative schedule, pending actual final programming, for the 2015 Battlefords Music Festival is: piano March 16 – 18; band; March 19 – 20, strings; March 20, musical theatre; March 21 – 22, voice; March 23 – 25, speech arts; March 26 –27 and gala April 1 at the Dekker Centre. Admission will be $10 a seat for adults with free admission for performers, award recipients, award donors and youth 18 and under.

Sliding, shoveling good news for snowmobilers Ed, my neighbour next door, was happy this past week because he wanted more snow for his snowmobiling, and he got it. While some of us did not want the slipping, sliding and shoveling that new snowfalls bring, my neighbour was excited and happy. Ed’s love of winter has not been contagious in my case. My neighbour cannot understand why everyone doesn’t appreciate winter. I tell him walking and driving are challenging in the winter. Ed forgets that if some of our seniors slip on ice or hard packed snow we will not get up without a sprain or a break. My neighbour needs to
remember, that we old timers shatter like glass rather than bounce like a rubber ball. Shoveling snow can be a hazard to our health. For some seniors, winter is like a jail sentence because they are not able to be out and about in the snow and cold. Some folks even slip and slide into depression as one winter day gives way to another. A mere moment of carelessness on winter roads and sidewalks can lead to a minor or major mishap. Most seniors try to watch and be extra careful in the winter because winter weather conditions demand it. Even so, stumbling, slipping and falling can happen in spite
eighbourly Advice According to Ed
By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com
revraymaher@accesscomm.ca of our vigilance. Winter accidents often happen and not always to other people. The season of lent reminds all Christians that those who think they are surefooted in faith may tumble and fall into temptation and sin. Winter leaves little room for smugness for the weather can turn from fine to dangerous quickly.
The state of our Christian life can go from solid to broken quickly. Most will agree there is the reality of careless or dangerous driving for the winter road conditions that are present. Not so many Christians will admit to the actuality of inattentive and reckless living by Christians in their walk of faith.
On the Mount of Olives, Jesus said to his disciples, “You will all fall away.” Peter declared that even if all fall away, “I will not.” Jesus warned Peter that before the night was over Peter would deny him three times. Peter was too smug to listen. He insisted he would never disown Jesus even if he had to die with Jesus. All the other disciples said the same thing. When they went on to Gethsemane, Jesus asked the disciples to watch and pray while he wrestled with God in prayer, and they fell asleep. Jesus returned three times from his praying to find his disciples asleep. The disciples pledged their
faithfulness to Jesus, but there is always a big gap between our words and our actions. The rest of the story is that Judas, one of his disciples, betrayed Jesus for money and brought the soldiers to arrest Jesus. Judas identified Jesus with a kiss. When the soldiers arrested Jesus, all the disciples deserted Jesus except for Peter, who followed at a distance and then denied knowing Jesus three times before morning dawned. Lent is a church season that calls Christians to recognize their personal smugness towards Jesus. We need to confess our own deserting, denying and disowning of Jesus and break down and weep.
Spend some quality family time together. Worship at the church of your choice. Our community has a number of churches and a variety of denominations for you & your family.

Rivers Edge Quilters met for their monthly meeting Feb. 6. Irene Sack reported on the final plans for the Canadian Quilting Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travelling trunk show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Time for Colour,â&#x20AC;? at the Chapel Gallery Feb 12, with representative Janie Himsl. The Raggedy Log Cabin class, taught by Ilene from Ileneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quilting plus in Unity, was enjoyed by all partici-
he Quilt Patch Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Edge Quilt Guild
pants. Five completed quilts were displayed at the meeting. Way to go, quilt ladies! Plans were finalized for the Feb. 19 to 21 quilting marathon. Debbie Burwash from Corner House Quilting in Macklin will be teaching
a mystery quilt class. This should be an interesting challenge. Members who are not participating in this mystery quilt are welcome to sew their own projects. We are looking forward to two classes, March 19 the Little Twister Ruler, and March 26 the Lazy Log Cabin, both classes facilitated by club members. Please note a change of date for the next meeting to March 13.
When life gives you scraps, make a quilt.

Jam Club a musical outlet for Luseland students By Sherri Solomko Correspondent LUSELAND — The Jam Club is not a group that gathers to make preserves but it is something equally as enticing. It’s not the official School of Rock as depicted in the Jack Black movie but it’s very close to it. In Luseland, a group of students ranging from Grade 7 to 12 get together to “jam” or play rock and roll music. The group has a full sound system and instruments include drums, piano, bass and guitars as well as other instruments. Students work in groups of five or six, with the instructor, Chris Williamson, included. Groups then pick up to six songs to rehearse . The performances include solos, duos and trios, in addition to full group numbers. In late May or early June, the Jam Club plans to perform a big concert at the school with a repertoire of upwards of 30 songs. They play rock and pop music from all eras and they even include some country, folk and blues tunes.
Part of the success of the program is mixing the groups in terms of ages. Grade 7 students may be partnered with students in senior high, making for great mentorship opportunities. Williamson, who leads the group, was instrumental in forming the club. He transferred to Luseland when Major school closed in 2014. He was part of a similar music program there for 15 years. He started the club when he began teaching guitar over a decade and a half ago. While in Major, Williamson taught music during the day at the school. The club was formed to play for the fun. In Luseland, Williamson is not teaching a music program so he created the idea of mixing some of the more seasoned Major “jam” students with a half dozen Luseland students who already play guitar, piano or percussion. What happened next was a musical blend that could not have gone any smoother. Williamson says as the “jammers” keep playing together, they are getting more en-
thused about their progress heightening the anticipation for their big performance to come. “It’s one of the highlights of my job, being able to offer this as extra-curricular and I am so impressed at the dedication to the program and practice time.” Without wanting to boast, Williamson admits, “We sound pretty darn good overall and I like that the kids are picking some harder songs, so it offers its challenges that only makes the musicians even better.” There is a huge bonus in Luseland to this program. One teacher at the school has knowledge about recording music and is currently teaching a class on this process. Greg Johnston says he plans to record some of the groups that are presently part of the Luseland Jam Club. “The communications media class is focused on teaching students professional recording and mixing techniques. Using a digital interface and laptop computers, students learn how to

The class was added to the school’s practical and applied arts program as a tie in with the Jam Club. The class consists of students in Grades 10 to 12. They are responsible for setting up all of the sound equipment for Jam Club performances in the gym. They will also be recording Jam Club members in the second half of this school

Sr. girls earn volleyball sportsmanship award By Sherri Solomko Correspondent February break is soon over and kids are fitting in the last bit of down time before heading back to school. We took in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw with our family and had a fabulous time, including my son’s experience as “junior star” with Team Newfoundland. I will pass on an update next column.
nity News Wrapping up the birthday train this month is three members of my family who all share Feb. 22 as a birthday. Warm birthday greetings to my mother-in-law Anne in North Battleford, my sisterin-law Cindy in North Battleford and my dad Doug in
Saskatoon. The Unity Warriors senior girls’ volleyball team was presented the SHSAA Sask Milk sportsmanship award for their efforts toward sportsmanship and the ideals of school sport while they attended the 4A championship in La Loche this past November. A presentation was made at the Unity Composite High School Feb. 2. The award was presented by Lyle McKellar, assistant executive director of SHSAA. He
offered his congratulations to coach Ken Parker, principal Ruth Cey and the members of the team. At the close of the presentation, each student of the school was given a carton of milk on behalf of Sask Milk. At St. Peter’s school, return from the February break means kids are jumping back into several parts of their school year. The choir and band will be amping up their practices for the upcoming music festival performances. As well, students move into .enten study. The AT reading program is an important activity for staff and students as it recognizes the importance of reading in all aspects of life. At Unity Public School the return from the break will mean festival preparations, more curling for division two students and stepping into the next paces of their curriculum. The Division
II ski trip is coming up this week. Unity Composite High School saw the junior basketball programs finish up their season with the district basketball playdowns on the Feb. 6 weekend. Senior high basketball has a few weeks left including conference and regional playoffs coming up soon. Junior curling districts will take place Feb 24 and 25. Travel club is getting ever closer to their Easter trip to Portugal and Morocco. Drama club is working on their spring production with only a few weeks before regional drama festival time. The Unity Skating Club will host their regional competition at the rink this weekend. And, in only two short weeks they will be performing their year-end ice carnival. At the Unity Curling Club this weekend will be the annual Oilman’s Bonspiel that
includes a dance and social upstairs in the community centre Saturday night. Coffee row folks continue to review the current events both in town and in the province. Many are looking forward to signs that spring may come sooner than Mr. Groundhog has predicted. Of course, hockey and curling topics are prevalent as many enjoy cheering for favourite teams and players in town as well as in provincial and national events. This daily ritual is as consistent as the coffee they enjoy while reviewing life in their own homes or in our community. What’s great about it as there is always a laugh to be heard and the reassurance that they will meet again tomorrow no matter what side of the topic table they sit. So you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next week.

Mulligar named after hometown of early settler By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent The small hamlet of Mullingar is 11 miles northwest of Mayfair. In 1906, a pioneer named Mark Comerford who hailed from Mullingar, Ireland, named this hamlet after his home. Today the area is populated with seven Salisbury families who grain farm and cattle ranch. A few generations earlier, the Salisbury name was heard of often. As with other small centres, Mullingar once boasted of many amenities including a local post office, hardware, grocery and lumber stores, a community hall, a church and two garages. Some entertainment other communities did not have were skating, hockey and curling rink. Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Searle Company elevators were built and the Pool even operated an active stockyard. Erection of a “ fresh meat” purchasing plant became a reality. In the earlier years, Mullingar had an excellent baseball team and later softball. Sports day, an annual event, was eagerly anticipated every July. All of the above are just memories and the head count is approximately 15 people. Hidden in the rolling hills among a lot of bush and sloughs is Blue Mountain Outdoor Adventures, 21 miles west of Mayfair. Jason Moore, formerly from Saskatoon, with the Lighthouse Outreach organization, purchased this thriving business from original entrepreneur Stan Dudek, a local fellow. Stan, his wife Sheila, and their two children relocated near Trail, B.C., two years ago. This outdoor adventure business offers five paintball fields, equipment rental, five zip lines, wall climbing, ropes and challenge courses, camping accommodations, a swimming hole in the warm months, cross-country skiing and a skating rink in winter.
Biathlon competitions, national and provincial, are organized by former Mayfair teacher Doug Sylvester of North Battleford, and draw a lot of attention usually once a year. Jason rents this facility for family reunions and other private functions. There are three cabins for rent. “Owl’s Nest” sleeps six, a cozy small cedar suite sleeps three and “Sleepy Hollow,” the largest with a wood-burning unit, accommodates 10 people. This fun place is very busy during the winter and a lot of school groups take advantage. The ski trails are some of the best in Western Canada and are cleaned by a brand new grooming machine. Many residents seek a warmer climate at this time of year. Leanne and Stephen Cherwinski, my neighbours, are no exception. They took in an all-inclusive one-week getaway to Mayan Riveria, Mexico. They leisurely soaked in sunshine, sandy beaches and ocean waves while sipping on pina coladas during their stay. Nightly entertainment is always a big attraction, thus including the musical Grease and an Elvis Presley impersonator. The mode of transportation in the private resorts is a miniature train, and is a fun way to travel rather than continually walking from one place to the next. Grey iguanas and long-tailed, raccoon-like wild animals are in abundance at these tropical resorts. Keep your swimming gear packed in your suitcases for your next annual excursion. Mayfair’s snow angel, retired school teacher Ruby Rafuse, is continually shovelling snow for her friends, public walkways and the church entrance. In the cities, snow angels are honoured for their contribution to society. Everyone is very thankful for her endless hours volunteering in the community along with her excellent baking for various functions. Farming near Whitkow, Ron and Joan Tomanek along

According to Faye, the baby is doing fairly well, but will be in the hospital for maybe one month with the medical staff keeping a watchful eye on him. Valentine’s Day kept many people shut in due to the massive snowfall. In my yard, we’ve recorded 10 inches. My husband, like other folks, moved the mounds of snow with his tractor blades.

it meets Highway 378. These highways are potholed, narrow and winding with steep embankments in some places. Rural folks do face a challenge when driving on these secondary highways. I wonder how the North Stars hockey team’s ice fishing derby went on Feb. 14 with the terrible weather conditions. How many people got stuck with their vehicles on the ice, or was everyone driving 4x4s? This annual event attracts many people from afar, being that the prizes are attractive. Many people in our area are spectators at Sask Prairie Hockey League games. Dave and I attend Maymont home games and some afar to watch son-in-law Kinley Sevick play. This is a very strong senior league including 1- competitive
teams — Hafford, Meota, Cut Knife, Shellbrook, Battleford, Glaslyn, Maymont, Spiritwood, Radisson, and Perdue. Their playoffs commenced last week and are right on schedule. The hockey terminates the second week in March and, alas, onto baseball and golf for some of the players. Thank you to Lorna Pearson, Meota’s news correspondent, for welcoming me to the team of reporters in last week’s column. I got to know her personally while I owned a business in Chitek Lake for a couple of years. John (late husband) and Lorna resided there for many years and was a local reporter in the Spiritwood Herald newspaper before moving to Meota. In next week’s report, I will give information on Whitkow’s past and present.

had approximately 14 centimetres of snow, the wind had gone down considerably and the sun was peeking out. Monday the snow plows were out in full force. The temperature was up to 1 C and the sun was very bright. Our weather is so changeable this winter. Only a few

Surprise 90th birthday party attended By Dorothy M. Mills Correspondent Our deepest sympathy goes out to my sister Norma Kowerchuk and family on the recent passing of her husband Paul Kowerchuk of Battleford. Paul put up a four-year battle with lung cancer to pass away Jan. 31 at the age of 75. He worked
in the automotive industry for 25 years. He was born and raised at Whitkow. Paul went on to be the owner and operator of P & N Feeds in North Battleford with family members as employees. After 25 years, it changed hands to Country Feed and Pets with Steven and Nicole Anderson, Paul’s youngest daughter. Paul managed the business until he got sick and was diagnosed with FR

Sympathy goes out to the Weum family of Battleford on the recent passing of Edna Weum, formerly from Bjelde Creek. Edna and her musical friends spent much time entertaining at the senior homes plus social events and
old time dances, as well as at the Western Development Museum. The funeral was held in Battleford, Feb. 5. Dwayne and Cheryl Bater and their daughter Brittni spent a few days in Winnipeg. They along with their family attended the surprise 90th birthday party of Cheryl’s mother, Edith Jonson. Dwayne and Cheryl’s youngest son Jason Bater of Newfoundland was able to be with them.

Submitted Western Development Museum What would entice a successful Nova Scotia businessman to sell out and relocate his family to Fielding, Saskatchewan? One year after Saskatchewan was declared a province, Richard Barlow (R.B.) Harris did just that. On the advice of his doctor to find a job working outdoors, Harris pulled up stakes and headed west by train, arriving in Fielding in March 1906. His wife Hattie followed four months later. Once there, Harris began to establish his businesses, beginning with a general store and an adjoining hardware store. The couple lived above the store. Since Field-

ing was on the main Canadian Northern line, business was good. Harris invested his profits in farmland a quarter mile southwest of Fielding at SE-8-41-11-W3. When the couple decided to build a new home on the farm, Hattie drafted her own plans for an imposing 28foot by 32-foot two-and-ahalf storey house. She hired a contractor from North Battleford to build the house, which was completed in the fall of 1915. By this time, the family had grown to include four daughters and one son. Another son and daughter would be born in the new
house. Again for medical reasons, Harris hired a manager to conduct business on his behalf. But Harris was unhappy with this arrangement, so in 1920 he closed his business and sold the remaining merchandise to three other store owners in Fielding and retired to the farm. Although Hattie died in 1931, R.B. remained in the house until his death in 1956. His son, Allison Harris, then inherited the house and farm. Allison lived there with his wife, son and two daughters until his death in 1967. Allison’s son Melvin then
moved onto the farm with his family. The house was finally vacated in 1981. In 1988 it was donated to the North Battleford WDM. Nobody but members of the Harris family had ever lived in the home. After 99 years the house is in need of some TLC. The upstairs veranda needs to be rebuilt. Inside and out need a new coat of paint. Charitable receipts are available for donations made to the Western Development. With the public’s financial assistance the WDM can provide the care and maintenance that this grand old home deserves.

Curling teams compete in Battle West playdowns By MCS Staff
The crazy carpets have been hanging in the front porch for several weeks. There has not been enough snow on the small hill for the elementary students to go sledding. Perhaps, after the recent snowfall, students will get back on the carpets when they return to classes Feb. 23. The senior boys’ and senior mixed curling teams attended their playoffs Feb. 11 and 12. They had the opportunity to play at the new curling facility in North Battleford. Both teams tried their best and were great sports and ambassadors for the school. The mixed team lost two
straight games so were eliminated from the playoffs. The senior boys lost their first game but came back and won their second game against Luseland. They advanced to the second day and lost in the morning to John Paul II. Both teams gained valuable experience. Thanks to Dennis Wawryk and Kari Gray for all the time they donated to helping the young curlers. The school community council held their February meeting Monday evening. They are planning a Literacy Night for Tuesday, March 24. This will be for kindergarten to Grade 5 students and preschool children. The SCC brought coffee, cookies and doughnuts to the
staff for staff appreciation week. It was a very thoughtful gesture and the staff enjoyed the treats. Elementary classes recognized the 100th day of school with special activities in their classes. The Grade 1 class used a special app on the iPads to age their picture to see what they might look like when they reach 100 years of age. Other students had fun trying to guess which Grade 1 student matched each picture. Mrs. Stott dressed as a schoolteacher from 100 years ago and her class used the number 100 to create art pictures. They also displayed their pop bottles filled with 100 items and three clues
Schools Support Smart-Garden Family North Battleford Comprehensive High School Me to We, Student Representative Council and Comp in Action groups partnered with the Battleford Central School Me to We Group Feb. 4 for the BCS Family Fun Night where families and staff from both schools were invited to raise funds for the Smart-Garden Family. Roxanne Smart-Garden is a counsellor at the North Battleford Comprehensive High School. She recently suffered a stroke and this event was held in her honour. The night consisted of carnival games put on by the NBCHS students, pizza sale, bake sale and many other family activities, run and provided by students and staff from both schools. This partnership raised over $6,000 for the family, which was presented to Mr. Garden Feb. 6. On behalf of NBCHS, Me to We facilitators Renee Storgard, Amber Kotzer, Leslie Ferguson, and Shelley Pfeifer wish Mrs. Smart-Garden a speedy recovery. Photo submitted

so other people could try to guess what was in their bottles. The Grade 4 and 5 class also displayed their hidden objects with their 100-word descriptions. They came up with some very interesting choices to hide and describe. One student ended his paragraph with 17 “ baas” to make sure he reached the 100-word requirement. His object was a sheep from the “ mine craft” collection. The Grade 4 and 5 students also had 100-second body breaks to count such things as how many times they could bounce on one leg in 100 seconds and how many situps they could do in 100 seconds. The Jump Rope For Heart event was held on the afternoon of Feb. 12. There were 10 skipping stations set up around the gym. The Grade 7 class and several staff members operated the stations. The jumpers skipped at each station for seven minutes then received a two-minute break before beginning at the next one. All skippers received a break after five stations for a juice box and oranges. The event raised $1,151.25 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The kindergarten and Grade 1 class raised a total of $850. Thanks to everyone for donating to this event. Students had a great time and got a lot of exercise.
The Winter Olympics were held Feb. 13. The school community was divided into four teams. The teams were Athens, Troy, Sparta and Argos. Each team was assigned a room and given some information about their city. The teams had half an hour to create a flag and a chant. They decorated team members with paint and headbands using their assigned colour. The chants were presented in the gym as part of the opening ceremonies and were judged by Mrs. Combres, Mrs. Fouhy and Miss Jordan. Connor Garrett led his Spartans to first place in the chanting competition. Each team then had to wrap their captain in toilet paper to make it look like they were wearing a toga. The Troy team won this part of the competition. Elementary teams then participated in speed skating, floor hockey, snow soccer and trivia. The high school teams competed in a relay race, trivia, broomball and
volleyball. The Grade 12 class held a hot dog sale at noon. The SLC sold hot chocolate and canteen treats throughout the day. In the afternoon, the elementary and high school members joined together for the human curling , sled races, tug of war and the closing ceremonies. Athens was awarded the first place medal, Troy was second, Argos were third and the Sparta team placed fourth. Special thanks to the SLC members for all their work organizing the Olympics. The staff and students would like to wish Darby Milman all the best in her new school. Darby is leaving Maymont School and will be attending school at Cold Lake, Alta.. She was part of the volleyball team and a member of the SLC. Darby was always willing to help with school events . All the best, Darby, you will be missed.
