HBC drops the ax on Shellbrook Fields store

The Shellbrook Fields department store is closed and will likely be closed for good according to Hudson’s Bay Company representative.

The fully stocked store was locked up last week with a sign placed in the window informing the community that the store was closed effective immediately.

According to HBC External Communications Manager Tiffany Bourre there were multiple factors that played a part in the store’s closure but did not specify what any of those factors were.

“As part of our normal course of business, the Company conducts regular reviews of our store portfolio. After careful study of all the factors involved, it was decided to close the (Shellbrook) store,” said Bourre in a statement.

She stressed that the closure was completely independent of the acquisition of 220 Zellers store leases across Canada

by American company Target in January.

Zellers, Fields and Home Outfitters are all part of the HBC family of companies.

That acquisition of the Zellers stores involves the store building leases only and the name remains with HBC. According to Bourre, the company does not have immediate plans to relocate the store or open a new one in the Shellbrook area.

“The company HBC is always looking for new opportunities to bring to Canadian consumers. At this time we do not have any plans for a new location, however if an opportunity becomes available we will consider the option. Fields in Prince Albert is approximately 30 minutes from Shellbrook and welcomes the Shellbrook customers,” said Bourre.

There was speculation last spring that the store, which opened in February of 2007, was set to close but that never came to pass.

Playoff hopes slim after blowout loss to Stamps

As long as there’s still a glimmer of hope, there’s no use in examining where this 2011 season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders went so horribly wrong. But we’re getting close to that point.

In another game which the Green & White could barely afford to lose, they were blown out again this weekend. A week after suffering a devastating 42-5 home loss to BC, the Riders were pulverized 40-3 by the Stampeders in Calgary Saturday afternoon.

Things looked good early when the Riders won the coin toss and got the ball to start the game. However as has become the custom, the team couldn’t get anything going on offense and was unable to stop the opposition on defense. Back-toback fumbles in the second quarter directly led to 14 points for the Stampeders who had a 23-3 lead at halftime. They were

Rider Insider

With the Voice of The Riders, Rod Pedersen allowed to put in cruise control in the second half as they sailed to the lopsided victory.

It dropped Saskatchewan’s record to a West Division-worst 4-9 and has left them in a position where they need to win their final five games to have any hope at making the playoffs for a tenth straight season.

“It sucks to be honest with you,” revealed Rider kick returner/cornerback Tristan Jackson.

“This is a great organization. It sucks. It really, really does. It’s just one of those seasons. We got five games to go. We have to look forward, not look

back.”

The team has really no hope at catching Calgary or BC and now their only chance at the post-season lies in catching 7-6 Edmonton whom the Riders will visit twice in October including this Thanksgiving Day Monday at Commonwealth Stadium.

However it’s this blogger’s fear that this team is going the wrong way as they plunge down the homestretch. They seemed considerably uptight going into the Calgary game, perhaps too focused on the mountainous task which lay before them. It also appears they may even be

Program, modeled after programs operated at several other facilities in Saskatchewan, enables the sending of e-mails to inpatients at the Region’s inpatient facilities.

Individuals who want to send well wishes to a loved one or a friend who is a hospital patient or long-term care resident simply can do the following: Go to: www. princealbertparklandhealth.com Click on “Well Wishes to a Patient” button (on the left-hand side of the screen) and follow the instructions, including selection of the facility.

Include the patient’s first and last name, room number (if known), comments and your full name. When received, your e-mail is sent to the appropriate facility for printing and delivery to your love one.

E-mail is checked at 1

p.m. every weekday and hand delivered to patients after 2 p.m. Any e-mail that is received after 1 p.m. or on weekends will be delivered the next business day. There may be a delay in delivery for e-mail received during holidays.

E-mail received after the intended recipient has been discharged will not be delivered. All messages received are handled confidentially. Upon receipt, the e-mail is printed and placed in a sealed envelope and delivered to the patient’s room. The e-mail system is set up only to receive e-mail. The Region cannot send outgoing replies or confirm that a patient or resident is registered.

The Volunteers Services department will be monitoring the incoming e-mails and be responsible for delivering the messages at the Victoria Hospital, Herb Bassett Home and Mental Health Inpatient Unit. The remaining messages are forwarded to the appropriate facility, with each facility ensuring delivery.

While the Region makes every effort to ensure all messages are delivered, privacy laws and policies mean the Region cannot contact the sender of the message to confirm if an individual is in care at a Prince Albert Parkland hospital or long-term care facility.

PA Parkland Health Region extends Well Wishes program Family members and friends of patients at any of the hospitals or residents of long-term care facilities in the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region will now be able to send messages to loved ones thanks to the expanded capacity of the Region’s Well Wishes program.

“In the past year we have seen the value of this program at the Victoria Hospital, as we have delivered about 100 messages since it launched in December 2010,” said Sonya Jahn, Director of Volunteer Services, which oversees the delivery of the program.

“The Well Wishes program gives people an opportunity to send messages of support to their family members and friends from any computer with internet access.”

doubting their own abilities, which is a first around here for a long, long time.

“You gotta go home tonight and check yourself in the mirror and make sure you’re playing your heart out,” said Rider slotback Chris Getzlaf after the game. “A lot of guys are. We have to regroup obviously.”

Orchestrating it all is Rider Vice President of Football/Head Coach/ Offensive Coordinator Ken Miller who seemed as much at a loss for an explanation as anyone else after Saturday’s game.

“No it wasn’t a pretty sight,” Miller stated. “We got beat on both sides of the ball. We couldn’t stop ‘em on defense and then we moved the ball but couldn’t score. It’s been two games without a touchdown and that’s intolerable.”

And that’s where things have gone so intolerably wrong. Miller fired coaches Greg Marshall and Doug Berry with 10 games left and replaced them with himself. If the team had put forth a gutsy effort in each game under Miller’s guidance, perhaps missing the playoffs could be excused by the team’s 1-7 start under Marshall.

However the blowout losses eclipse any defeats suffered under Marshall

and the powers-that-be are now scratching their heads looking for answers. While there’s still a chance, that’s all the club can cling to.

But all signs point to an early winter.

“There’s always next week but we have to find a way to get this team playing to the level which it’s capable of,” Miller explained.

It has left us wondering just what this team is capable of?

Opinions Brad Dupuis News Editor

What to do about headshots in the NHL Questions are abound as the new NHL season kicks off this week.

We will see if newly appointed league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan will stay the course of predecessor Colin Campbell or make an actual effort to rid the game of unnecessary headshots.

I think the loss of the league’s golden boy (or golden goose) for the bulk of the regular season and last years playoffs has the NHL’s attention in this regard but whether that attention will be focused through an 82 game season and playoffs remains to be seen.

Rule changes and “crackdowns” are nothing new to the NHL we see them at the beginning of each season. What would be new would be the same measure of rules tolerance used at the end of the season as used in the beginning.

If the preseason is any indication of how the year is going to go, it will be another hit and miss year as we saw some big suspensions and a few non-calls.

But then again, the preseason has never been much of a predictor of anything as 6-0 preseason teams have gone on to miss the playoffs while scoring leaders have gone on to a-goal-in-20-games clip in the regular season.

The best thing for the league would be to come to a standard and stick to it – no variance, no looking at the name on the sweater and no looking back.

If they are serious about getting headshots out of the game they have to hammer it into the heads of the players that they won’t get away with it.

If they call all headshots, even the accidental ones, it will create a sense that this behaviour will no longer be tolerated.

Yes every incident will be different and yes the odd innocent check gone bad will be punished but players will eventually learn from these indiscretions or they will lose pay from being suspended. If they are a player worth playing they are likely more good to their team on the ice than in the press box.

Referees may not catch the initial infraction but these days there are hits in almost every game that could be up for review. Reviewing video from all angles would determine if there was contact to the head and that would determine whether or not a suspension would be handed out.

If the whole idea of intent is taken out of the equation the rule becomes pretty much black and white.

The only area up for discussion would then be how long to suspend the player. If intent was not obvious a single game would do but more would be tacked on if it was determined that the contact to the head was intentional.

With the number of high calibre players injured or retiring due to concussions, this is the route the league ought to go.

I would think it would be better to suspend dirty players than to lose more man hours to injury.

The Paul Martin Commentary Canada is on the edge of an infrastructure bonanza.

One of the biggest growth periods in the nation’s history followed World War Two when the returning troops sparked an economic renaissance that led to the development of everything from the suburban shopping mall to rural electrification.

Sixty-five years later, we’re poised to go through another period just like it. That comes from the number two guy at CIBC, Jim Prentice, a former federal cabinet minister. He told an economic conference in Atlantic Canada a bank study on the impact the renewal of existing energy projects and development of new ones will create more than 300,000 new jobs as a result of power generation. And when the oil sands are added, the number could top one million over the next two decades.

Here in Saskatchewan the story is quite similar.

SaskPower is embarking on a renewal of its aging plants with clean coal technology and is looking at new units to meet the needs of our growing population resulting in forecasts of billions in new investment in the next decade. *** Saskatchewan’s population reached a new record high on the first of July continuing the growth trend that has been in place since the middle of 2006. In other words we have now completed five years of positive numbers on the population front.

This is quite a contrast to the previous 25 when the number of residents in the province declined.

The latest population estimates for the country also show that the West continues to be a dominant player in the country with the Prairies outpacing the national

Paul Martin

growth rate and BC matching it. Saskatchewan also returned to positive territory in terms of inter-provincial migration in the second quarter of the year as we were once again luring more Albertans than we were losing to that province.

In Q1 we actually were exporting people to other parts of Canada while international migration to the province was in ascension. But these latest figures show we have all three categories – births as well as inter-provincial and international migration – now working in our favor. *** There is, by definition, no replacement for a first impression.

Just about all of us, at some point or another, are faced with that daunting assignment of making a presentation in public. Whether its performing for a job interview or delivering a speech to hundreds of conference delegates, the basic principles of making a powerful impression are the same.

Mikki Williams, a Chicago-based professional speaker who was short-listed as a potential personality for the new Oprah TV network, offers any presenter a few tips on how to improve.

First of all, she explains, don’t let the butterflies roost. All of us get nervous before a presentation and brooding over the situation or going over the material one more time will just make it worse. She suggests mingling with the audience as an alternative.

And here’s another basic rule that seems to apply to a lot of things in life. Keep it simple. Most speakers try to cram too much into a presentation. Three primary themes are more than enough and the best way to deliver your message is by telling personal stories to explain your messages.

Viewpoint First Nations issues not so different Rural Saskatchewan people and First Nations people have often found themselves at odds, although it’s not as bad as it used to be.

The first time I explored this issue in depth was for a book entitled “Writing off the Rural West.” My chapter was called “Uneasy Neighbours” that explored the sometimes-difficult relationship between the two sides.

In that book chapter I explored how relationships are often stronger in communities where First Nations and white communities are economically independent in communities. (Prince Albert and Meadow Lake come to mind.) But I also explored how difficult this relationship can be and cited the town of Punnichy next to the Gordon First Nations. One homeowner told me that in Punnichy at the time, homeowners would often buy cheap houses around them just to tear them down to prevent Sask. Housing from purchasing them and renting them to Indian families. Since the writing of that book, it’s likely fair to say that even more progress has been made, although progress has often been slow. More and more

economic participation by First Nations in local communities has meant more cooperation and better relations.

One example I can remember writing about in the past decade involved the Thunderchild band need Turtleford where both sides became active participants in the hospital. Another example that has struck me in recent years is the entries in the Saskatchewan Municipal Awards that see local communities and First Nations jointly working co-operatively.

But what has struck me of late is how problems of First Nations and rural communities tend to be common ones. And this thought really crossed my mind last week when about a thousand First Nation’s people marched down Regina’s Albert Street in a day of protest against the provincial government.

Admittedly, I’m rather skeptical of most legislative protests and especially

this one. That it was organized about the time the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) was taking heat for dumping former grand chief Guy Lonechild, despite a court ruling suggesting they couldn’t do that. It was a bit too much for this old cynic.

Add to the fact that I’ve seen all too many protests at the legislature over the years demanding more support for agriculture, a lack of health and education funding, less interference in local government issues, less taxation and more equitable resource sharing.

But it’s also about here where it struck me that rural folks from the local farms, villages, towns and small cities and First Nations folks from the reserves, villages, towns and small cities may have a lot more in common than they recognize.

For example, for years rural folks have made the point that the oil, natural gas and

Murray Mandryk

potash is produced right under their feet and that should entitle them to a fair share of royalties so they can fix the roads or keep their schools and hospitals open.

Interestingly, this was also one of the major themes behind the First Nations protest march in Regina, albeit with added dimension of treaty rights.

First Nations argue the original treaties they signed 140 years ago with the new white federal government (remember, this was the northwest territory and Saskatchewan wouldn’t become to be a province for another 30-plus years) talked about sharing the land to the “depth of a plough shear”. First Nations say this means that they never gave up the right to natural resources buried much deeper.

Or at least, they view this as grounds for a bigger share.

And while some might rightly view this is a specious argument, it’s quite similar to the argument rural communities make for a bigger share of the natural resource pie.

So perhaps we’re all not so different.

Perhaps our biggest challenge right now is recognizing our similarities.

What I learned this summer about nuclear Editor: As a past educator for 18 years, this time of year always reminds me of that first day back in the classroom. With a new group of faces it gave me an opportunity to assess a number of skills by just asking them to write about their summer holidays.

Well, I thought it only fair that I share what I did on my summer holidays with the whole “Saskatchewan classroom”. I especially do this in light of the opportunity to exercise my democratic right to choose the leader that will represent my best interests in the upcoming election.

On July 27th, I left Pinehouse on a walk to Regina to collect petitions to ban nuclear waste storage and transportation of nuclear waste into, out of and through Saskatchewan, a walk that was over 850 km. What was I thinking? Over- weight, limited in my knowledge and like other women, lots of other things to do. But, I had lived most of my life in an area that most people only dream of: clear, clean water, air without impurities, smells of pine and birch as the wind whistles over the willows, birds that sing their morning song,

cranes, pelicans, loons and eagles that talk to me throughout the day, every day! Pristine beauty, this was a land that I wanted to share with my children, grandchildren and their children, a land that they had every right to.

So, we marched, about ten of our core group, but we grew as we travelled and we learned as we met others who have travelled this “nuclear road” for over 30 years. They supported us, educated us and walked along side of us. I was inspired to continue, inspired to educate friends, family and surrounding communities, inspired to walk on. We met people from each community that fed us, gave us water, held rallies, gave and collected donations, offered their homes, gathered signatures for the petition and thanked us for awakening the people of this province.

But that little, awaking poke is not enough. The people of Saskatchewan need to know the truth, the conspiracy that was unveiled to me as I walked and became educated.

• I learned that the nuclear industry is huge and interconnects the uranium mining corporations, power companies, and

nuclear plants, plants that are looking for ignorant communities or even provinces that will buy their propaganda to store nuclear waste.

• I learn that the uranium mining was initiated in Northern Saskatchewan in the 1950’s under the secrecy of the nuclear arms race.

Aboriginal rights were ruled out of the 1978 Cluff Lake Inquiry, which made uranium mining more appealing to uranium multinationals.

While other provinces were holding moratoriums, Saskatchewan people never had a chance.

The northern communities never gave, “prior informed consent”.

• I learned that this industry can say whatever they want, even if it’s not the truth, that they have the money and influence to pay media, politicians, governments, communities and individuals.

• I learned that there have been several continued attempts to cover up the impact of uranium spills in our northern province and the impact of the 3 major nuclear accidents: Hiroshima, 3 mile island, and Chernobyl.

• And now Japan, the nuclear plant in Japan

is melting down as we speak and leaking into the ground water and ocean.

Their nuclear scientists went to the government of Japan on July 28th, 2011 and reported that the radiation seeping out of the plant is equal to 168 Hiroshima bombs. One reporter said it was like a Hiroshima bomb going off every day since the original accident. Why isn’t this all over the media?

• I learned that Northern Saskatchewan holds 1.5% of the world fresh water supply, a resource that will be worth its’ weight in gold in the very near future. If the uranium mining is not stopped, or one accident happens with the proposed repository of nuclear waste, Saskatchewan’s whole watershed will be contaminated and we too will be looking for water.

• I learned that our leaders can manipulate policy so that organizations like NWMO (Nuclear Waste Management Organization) can negotiate with one small community in our north to become the waste deposit site for the province, our nation and possibly the world.

Groenen wins community service award A Shellbrook resident was recently recognized for her service to the community at an industry conference in Las Vegas.

Yvonne Groenen, owner of Groenen Accounting, received one of two Community Service Awards at the Sage/Simply Accounting conference in Las Vegas.

Groenen was nominated by fellow Simply Accounting partner Carol Ann Brouwer, of Ontario.

She passed the information onto Groenen’s staff who gathered a letter from Shellbrook Mayor George Tomporowski, a letter from the Business Improvement District (BID) Committee and compiled a letter of their own for the application.

Winning the award was a complete shock to Groenen as she had no idea she had even been nominated.

“I had absolutely no idea that they had done that. They did it all behind my back those conniving people,” laughed Groenen.

Groenen estimates that there were 300 Canadian Simply Accounting part-

ners present at the convention.

Partners are those who use purchase memberships into Simply Accounting/ Sage for use with their clients.

What made receiving the award extra special was that she didn’t just receive it in front of her fellow partners but her

staff made the trek with her to Las Vegas as part of a staff outing -- the first time they had attended the conference.

The company departed from their typical script this year as two community service awards were given. On the average year just one of the awards is given out.

“All the stuff we do is fun. We don’t do it because (we might receive an award). We do it because that’s what people in communities should do,” said Groenen.

Events like the After Tax Party, Shellbrook Street Fair and Pumpkins in the Park all came from ideas Groenen had.

It wasn’t until she heard mention of the annual “After Tax Party” fund raiser during the lead up to the presentation that she even knew that she was nominated for the award.

Each year, the Groenen Accounting staff choose three beneficiaries of funds raised from the annual After Tax Party. Those three groups are charged with the task of selling tickets for the event and providing items for the evening’s raffles. In the end, those three groups split the proceeds from the event.

Groups involved in the past include the Shellbrook First Responders, the Rhythm Works Dance Studio and the Shellbrook Elks Hockey Club.

Your Two Cents What I learned this summer about nuclear Continued from page 5

11102CC00

• I learned that NWMO changes their own policy to meet their needs.

Originally, they stated that they would have to have willing consent with the host community. If the population of that community is just over 600 voting members and you have almost 400 people who have signed a petition to stop Nuclear Waste storage in their community, aren’t they . . . shouldn’t they remove themselves from that negotiation.

What percentage of people from the community do they need? But, they change the terms of this “Willing Consent” as they see fit.

• I have watched many people die of cancer in our northern communities; a lot of them were young. It’s been an epidemic lately; most of them worked in these northern uranium mines, yet no inquiries, no investigations. But there has been a huge media blitz on all the wonderful jobs they provide and trades they support. We’ve all seen them!

• As Ed Benoanie, past chief of Hatchet Lake, stated, “A few people from the community work there, but we have 80% unem-

ployment. We do approach them every now and then.

And they come back with little handouts every now and then – to keep you quiet”. Is this happening in any of the communities that are being targeted for a nuclear waste site?

Makes you think!

• At the end of the walk and since the walk the most powerful thing that I’ve learned is that the nuclear industry had no plan for its’ waste and still refers to this energy as the cleanest form of all energy. That is the biggest lie of them all! The waste from these plants will remain radioactive and hazardous for at least 100,000 years. It’s too dangerous and our world is too unstable: wars, economic crashes, terrorism, and natural disasters to leave the 250,000 tons (and growing) of these rods on the earth’s surface. So, we bury it and hope for the best. The scientists don’t even agree on whether it’s safe to bury or whether we should let future generations even know where we are going to bury it.

My learning curve went off the charts this summer and although the information was extremely terrifying, and moving me to give up at times, I

always came back to my beliefs. The creator has blessed me with a wonderful world, beautiful children, and a country where I can voice my opinion. I am obligated as a mother, educator and human being to work as hard I can to stop this insanity and protect the blessings that have been given to me. There are other renewable, sustainable energy sources that we should be using . . . . other countries are. It is the way of the future.

I am not an activist and I’ve never taken on any cause with this magnitude, just a northern women who realises that sometimes you have to stand up for your beliefs. So, let’s stand together, stand up tall and say “NO” to Nuclear and “Yes” to these other sustainable, renewable sources or our civilization as we know it will cease to exist. I know that that is not the Legacy that I want to leave! What about you? Educate Yourself, Take a Stand and Sign our Petition so this craziness stops. Make this an election issue and hold our leaders accountable for the Legacy they want to leave.

Agriculture The real threat of climate change Climate change is one of those issues which held media attention for a time, and while very little has been resolved regarding its impact, is now garnering less attention because public interest is fleeting on almost everything these days.

As a result, media tends to act much like a bunch of hummingbirds, flittering from one story to another in order to try to hold public attention.

In the case of climate change the public has not just turned off interest in the situation, but has actually been left questioning the validity of the concern being shown.

The reasons the public have been left questioning the situation are varied.

To begin with climate change was initially heralded as global warming.

In northern climates the thought of warmer winters isn’t exactly one which

sounds particularly threatening, and some very cold weather soon leaves people laughing at the idea of global warming.

The terminology had evolved to that of climate change, but by that time public interest had waned.

There is also the problem that climate change is not something anyone sees as an immediate threat.

Generally the experts are talking about the real impact beginning to manifest itself more toward the middle of the century.

Yes there are things happening now, a reced-

Western Canadian farmers are sowing most Prairie acres with established varieties, according to results of the CWB’s 2011-12 variety survey.

Harvest and Lillian remain the preferred choice for Canada Western Red Spring wheat (CWRS) varieties among Prairie farmers. Harvest, known for improved sprouting resistance, now accounts for 17.6 per cent of total CWRS acreage. Lillian, favoured for wheat stem sawfly management, fell behind slightly to 17.4 per cent. \The survey also reveals a trend towards the rapid adoption of newer varieties with wheatmidge tolerance. Unity

VB jumped from 1.6 to 6.6 per cent of total seeded CWRS acres and Goodeve VB broke the top 10 with 3.1 per cent, up from 0.7 last year. More than 5,000 farmers participated in the CWB’s annual variety survey by indicating the wheat, durum and barley varieties they seeded in the spring. This information is used to determine how variety trends align with customer requirements for milling, baking and brewing, and to assist farmers with variety selection. Full results and online analysis tools are available at www. cwb.ca/variety.

For Canada Western Amber Durum (CWAD), Strongfield remains the

strong favourite among farmers, increasing from 60.2 to 65.8 per cent of total durum acres. Shortly after its introduction in 2006, Strongfield quickly became the popular choice for its strong agronomic yield performance.

For two-row malting barley, AC Metcalfe acreage declined, but maintains it status as the preferred choice, with 54 per cent of total two-row seeded acres.

CDC Copeland remains the second-highest preference, with 26 per cent of acres.

For six-row barley, farmers are increasingly turning to Legacy, while Tradition dropped 6.8 percentage points to capture 14.9 per cent of six-row acres.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) is pleased to receive Government of Canada funding of up to $318,930 for a research project aimed at identifying bovine tuberculosis (TB) tests that are more reliable and costeffective than those presently in use.

The funding from the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Council will assist the Beef Cattle Research Council-led project to evaluate commercial tests for bovine TB developed by diagnostic companies, and identify those tests that provide a rapid, reliable

and accurate diagnosis.

Rapid, simple, inexpensive blood tests for bovine TB in cattle, for use as single tests or as a panel of tests in combination, would improve our ability to detect and eradicate bovine TB, said CCA President Travis Toews.

“These tests may assist in achieving the final eradication of bovine TB from livestock sooner than is currently possible with existing tools,” he said.

Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz made the announcement during the CCA’s annual Fall Picnic on Parliament Hill. The

event, a perennial favourite amongst Members of Parliament (MPs) and political staffers, enables the CCA to deliver its priority policy issues directly key influencers in Ottawa.

Cattle producers from across the country were at the event to discuss issues including: government funding for research and market development, activities to open foreign markets, reduction of input costs and regulatory compliance, as well as the evolution of business risk management programs.

ing ice cap which could destroy polar bear populations, insect pressure in Canadian forests, and more severe weather, such as one-in-a-century storms hitting the Canadian Prairies, but the real threat seems something much more distant.

In my own case, something that may hit in 2050, is a little bit more difficult to focus on since I will need to hit 90 to be there to see it. Yes there is concern for future generations, but the sharpness of the threat is still dulled. \In terms of climate change there is

also something of a feeling of helplessness for the individual.

When you read about governments being reluctant to take the big steps necessary to affect the factors leading to climate change, the impact of an individual seems to be of little use. \Until the world leaders in countries such as the United States, China, India and other major nations go after major greenhouse gas emitting industries, change will not happen at a rate to change the trend. What we do on an individual basis, while important as a statement of concern through selfaction, it will not make up for coal generated electric plants spewing dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere.

Businesses won’t do it

without a government push. The costs of reversing emissions is simply too high and will impact bottom lines too much to be carried out voluntarily by most. The same can be said for most individuals too. We often do not make the wisest choices in terms of our environment unless pushed in that direction through tax rebates and

forced environmental fees initiated by government.

Climate change is real, and until we all become more proactive, and that includes government, there is a feeling it is also inevitable, and that has the public often left trying to ignore the situation on some fanciful hope it will just go away, which of course it will not.

How proud Terry would be to know that so many years after his memorable and heroic journey, his dream and his belief in miracles is still going strong as our whole school and community worked together to outrun cancer.

When the participants returned to the school they purchased a hearty fundraising lunch of beef or bison stew. A number of draws and prizes were given out to the Terry Fox participants and the winner of the most money raised was Chalayn Johnson.

Coreen’s ‘Ride to Conquer Cancer’

by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News Edited and adapted

by Coreen Spencer Encouragement and emotions are among the memories Coreen Spencer will carry with her after participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer in June.

“This was my first time participating in The Ride. I didn’t know what to expect so spent a lot of time searching for what everyone else was doing, searching for what I should be doing. The start line was narrower than a town street and there were 2,280 riders all ready to begin in a mass start. For a solo rider this was pretty intimidating, so I placed myself in what I thought was the middle of the pack along the outer edge in case I needed to get out. The first five kilometres I rode very cautiously and was very aware of everything and everyone around me.

I heard a couple of crashes around me and it was a real reminder of how easily the ride could end if I didn’t pay very close attention.”

Lots of the experienced participants were encouraging, “you’re going to love this It will be one of the best experiences of your life”. I can truly say it was.

Definitely one of the most meaningful memories was the number of

places where people were cheering us on, holding up huge signs. One that struck me was, “If Michelle were here she’d thank you for what you are doing”. It instantly brings tears to your eyes.

The 200+ km ride which benefits the Alberta Cancer Foundation began at the Spruce Meadows equestrian centre, south of Calgary, and travelled to Chain Lakes Provincial Park near Nanton, June 25.

This route is a continual work out. You are riding in the foothills, so while you have some nice coasting, you have many long hard climbs. Every 25km or so there is a pit stop to have a bite to eat, have your bike serviced, rehydrate, apply sunscreen. Or, as the case was on Sunday, remove your soaking wet socks and replace them with thermal blanket wraps to help thaw your frozen feet.

These pit stops were also an opportunity to visit with other riders.

Saturday the weather was fantastic with blue sky and just a light breeze.Sunday we awoke to rain and +8, shivering and soaked very early in the day. For the added challenge we faced a strong head wind for the entire return trip.

That’s when the ride became “very much a mental game over a physical one”. I paired up with an-

Coreen Spencer

other rider on the first hill climb out of camp and we stuck together for the entire ride, encouraging each other and visiting along the way to keep our minds off the weather conditions as much as possible.

It’s definitely a tough ride. You learn to appreciate every flat stretch and every hill you get to go down. I have also come to understand that Alberta’s ride is the toughest of the four provinces hosting this event.

I finished each day in under six hours while there were other riders on the route from 7 am to 7 pm.

Anybody can do it with even a little training.

I started training at the beginning of February

on an exercise bike in the basement. Then began riding outside by the end of March. I rode in every kind of weather, from snow, to sleet and high winds, and rain, to a surprise hail storm where I took shelter in a small grove of trees.

As it was, the hail put several holes in my first helmet.

I did get to know another rider, Twila Bamford, from Sylvan Lake before the event. She didn’t have as much training time as I had and her bike wasn’t as highly geared.

After I had finished the event, I got a text from Twila that she was struggling on her way back. David, my husband, who was

also was a crew member at the event, backtracked, and I re-rode the last 20 or so kilometres with Twila to help keep her going. She crossed the line feeling such a great sense of accomplishment.

As far as fundraising goes, I did really well.

Each rider has to raise a minimum of $2500.00 to participate in the ride. I found the more people I talked to, everybody is affected in some way by cancer.

David volunteered for the crew loading backpacks and sleeping bags, and hauling them from the start to the camp, unloading, then doing the same thing the next day.

While waiting for Coreen to arrive at the finish line, David said he watched a range of emotions from riders. “As people crossed the finish line it’s hard to describe, some were absolutely ex-

Page 9

hausted, others were totally pumped. Some came across with arms in the air, while somebody else was bawling their eyes out, depending on what their motivation was.” For some who didn’t make it there was a “sense of defeat”, he said.

I think many will go back and ride again this next year. As of today I am registered to take part again. I did it, felt great, know I can do it again and I feel like I have unfinished business in helping to fight cancer.

I would like to pass on a huge thank you to the people in Shellbrook and area who supported my ride this year, whether financially or with words of encouragement. It has definitely meant a lot to me to have that support.

Stay tuned for my adventure this coming spring as I start the journey again.

Local Pink Glove Dance video made for Breast Cancer Awareness More than 190 staff members, physicians, volunteers and friends danced the day away at Victoria Hospital in September and are now seeking votes to support their video in the Pink Glove Dance video competition.

The video was submitted to a competition to determine the best Pink Glove Dance video, sponsored by Medline Industries, Inc., manufacturer of the gloves and producer of the original Pink Glove Dance video.

“We did it because we recognized we needed to do something fun, that wasn’t mandatory, to bring us all together as a team to appreciate all of our roles in delivering patient care,” said Sharon Griffin, Director of Acute Care Services.

“It was a plus that it was for a good cause. If we were to win it would be icing on the cake but we already feel like we won just from the great participation that we had.”

The Health Region’s video was filmed at Victoria Hospital on Sept.

17th. Barry Mihelwicz led the production crew from Big Drum Media, while the dancing was choreographed by Jennifer

Maczek. The video follows a breast cancer patient on part of their journey through the health care system.

Our theme was inspired by the journey that patients diagnosed with breast cancer experience and how we as a health care team from all departments work together to support our patients physically and psychologically,” Ms. Griffin said.

As part of the contest, Prince Albert Parkland Health Region’s video will be posted on www. pinkglovedance.com on October 3, along with the videos of the other participants to be viewed by the public. A link to the voting site will also be posted on the Region’s website (www.princealbertparklandhealth.com).

Viewers can then vote on their favorite video (voting requires a Facebook® account).

Voting takes place through “Liking” the video on Facebook which limits each account to just one vote per video.

The top three winners receive a donation in their name to the breast cancer charity of their choice, with this Region choosing the Saskatchewan Cancer

Agency. The winners will be announced October 28 on pinkglovedance.com.

The song used in the Region’s video was “Firework” by Katy Perry.

The artist gave permission to use this song specifically for the Pink Glove Dance competition.

The original Pink Glove Dance video premiered in November 2009 and featured 200 Portland, Ore. hospital workers wearing pink gloves and dancing in support of breast cancer awareness and prevention. Today the video has more than 13 million views on YouTube® and has spawned hundreds of pink glove dance videos and breast cancer aware-

ness events across the country. A sequel was produced last October featuring 4,000 healthcare workers and breast cancer survivors throughout North America.

Medline filmed the original Pink Glove Dance video at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Ore., which quickly generated thousands of responses, letters and e-mails from survivors, family and friends.

It has entertained and inspired laughter and, for many, it has evoked memories of their own battle with breast cancer or experiences faced by loved ones.

“As a way to extend our breast cancer awareness campaign, we developed a pink glove called Generation Pink™,” said Andy Mills, president of Medline.

“Gloves are also the first point of contact

between the healthcare worker and the patient.

And, because the glove is pink, we hoped it would get people talking about breast cancer.”

Medline is donating a portion of each sale of the pink gloves to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). To date, Medline has donated more than $800,000 to the NBCF to fund mammograms for individuals who cannot afford them.

The Trudel Family and Erik Paquette will take to the stage at the Shellbrook Theatre on October 28th at 7:30 pm. Colin and Janice Trudel and their children Janaya, Jolissa, Graeme and Declan have been playing music most of their lives.

The children have grown up doing this and loving every minute. They live in the Honeymoon district and they spend a lot of time on the road playing at Jamborees and community functions. They released their first CD “Believe” in 2010 and it had 6 SCMA nominations that year,

winning Gospel Album of the Year.

Erik Paquette is from Debden and has been playing music since the age of five. His first instrument was the piano, but he has since added the violin, mandolin, guitar and banjo. He also released his first CD “Sidetracked” in 2009. He was a member of the P.A Strings Orchestra for seven years and has entertained at many community functions. Erik joined forces with the Trudel Family a couple of years ago and together they bring a great energy to the stage. They

have travelled to several Gospel Jamborees the last two summers and they are always a crowd favourite.

Their show will be a mix of Gospel, Bluegrass and Old-Tyme fiddle music. They will surely leave you wanting more.

Advance Tickets: $12. At the door: $15. Children 10&under: free Tickets available at Woodland Pharmacy, Shellbook; Trudel Autobody, Prince Albert; Mosaic Music, Prince Albert; Wheels 4 U, Debden; Mag’s Soup ‘n Such, Spiritwood.

Why you want a financial plan – and how to get one Canadians agree that financial planning pays off by delivering real value. In two recent studies – The Value of Financial Planning and The Value of Advice: Report -- a majority of Canadians agreed that by choosing financial advice, they accumulated more assets and were better prepared, financially, for retirement. Over 50% reported that they were on track to reach their desired lifestyle in retirement, compared to just 18% of those who don’t receive any financial advice. Most also felt that integrated financial planning improved their ability to save, made them less concerned about their financial situation and feel better about having the discretionary income to lead the life they want – and very importantly, it gave them greater peace of mind.

Do you need a financial plan? Yes – if you have an income, a family or hopes of one in the future, retirement lifestyle dreams, and for many other financially-rooted reasons that are unique to you. In general your financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, education planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and income tax planning.

But the key to a successful financial plan is tailoring each of those elements to you and your needs. To achieve that, a competent professional advisor will take you through this six step planning process: 1. Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns.

2. Data gathering – bringing together pertinent financial information to understand your current financial situation.

3. Financial analysis – using your current and

projected financial situation to establish how much tax you will pay and how to reduce your taxes; whether you’ll have enough income to cover your retirement expenses and ways to ensure you will; what you can do to better meet your income needs; and strategies for protecting your family and income should you become disabled or die unexpectedly.

4. Plan formulation and recommendations – reviewing and agreeing on solutions for achieving your financial goals and improving your overall financial life.

5. Plan implementation – a written report that summarizes the steps you need to take to make your plan work.

6. Monitoring and plan review – staying on track by reviewing your plan at least annually and when major life events occur.

Comprehensive finan-

It’s time to plant... garlic cold; and reducing the risk of some forms of cancer.

That aside, it is an essential ingredient in stews, savoury sauces, chili, dips, pickles and many other familiar dishes.

There are two types of garlic: soft-neck and hard-neck. The difference between them is whether they send up a scape (stalk = hard-neck) or not (soft-neck). A number of sources suggest that the hard-neck type is hardier and therefore recommend-

ed for growing northern climates like ours. On the other hand, the University of Saskatchewan vegetable researchers regularly test many vegetable cultivars including garlic.

They have found that there are hardy cultivars of both types. Some of the hard-neck cultivars that performed well in the U of SK trials include ‘Atkin Russian’, ‘Czech’ and ‘Music’. ‘FL F4’ and ‘Vesey’ are soft-neck types that have also performed well. (More details on the U of SK vegetable cultivar trial results and seed company addresses can be found at http:// www.usask.ca/agriculture/ plantsci/vegetable/publication/index.htm.) You can also try growing garlic purchased from your grocery store but the majority of that has been grown in California and may not be adapted to our climate. A

Growing it yourself couldn’t be easier. Like lilies, tulips and daffodils, garlic is best planted in the fall, ideally 4 – 6 weeks before the ground freezes.

However, garlic can also be planted in the spring as soon as you can work the soil; it just may not produce as well. Well-drained soils amended with organic matter is best, but garlic will grow in a variety of soil types and pH. Try to avoid heavy clay and lowlying areas. Prepare your planting bed by amending the soil with compost or well-rotted manure and rototill in well.

To prepare your garlic for planting, separate bulbs into individual cloves and select the largest for planting. Take care not to bruise the cloves as you break the bulb apart and keep the skin covering each clove intact. Into your prepared soil, plant the cloves pointy-side up

about 5 cm (2 in.) deep and 10 – 12 cm (4 - 5 in.) apart. Cover with soil; an additional 2 – 5 cm (1 – 2 in.) layer of organic mulch will help insulate the cloves over winter and supply them with additional nutrients in the spring.

During the growing season, maintain even moisture, never allowing the soil to dry out completely.

Your garlic will put down roots this fall ready from spring growth.

Leaves appear in early spring followed by bulbdevelopment. Hard-neck garlic will send up stalks or scapes. These should be cut off just above the leaves to ensure all energy is sent into the bulb. The time do this is when they are just beginning to form and are still curled. The scapes are edible and can be sautéd in place of garlic cloves in your cooking, used in salads or elsewhere you want a mild garlic flavour.

Garlic is ready to harvest in late summer when about 1/2 to 3/4 of the

leaves have yellowed.

If left in the ground too long, the cloves will burst through the bulb wrapper (papery skin), reducing storage life when they are eventually harvested.

Carefully dig up the bulbs and allow them to cure by lying them flat on a rack or hanging in bunches in a well-ventilated area out of direct sun. Do not remove any leaves until they have completely withered.

Trim the stems and leaves leaving about about a 2 cm (1 in.) stub; trim off the roots at this time as well.

Cleaning soil off the bulbs is easy after drying is complete and should only require gently rubbing.

If grown in heavier soils, washing may be required.

Store your garlic in a cool dark area.

Remember to keep aside enough for planting to start the process over again.

Don’t go viral this influenza season!

Influenza, commonly called the flu, is a highly contagious infection of the airways caused by the influenza virus. The Canadian Coalition for Immunization Awareness & Promotion (CCIAP) urges all Canadians – young and old – to protect themselves and those around them against influenza by getting this season’s influenza vaccine.

Each year, influenza causes illness among millions of Canadians. “Some people think milder illnesses such as colds or even ‘stomach flu’ are influenza, but they are not,” says Dr. Bonnie Henry, Chair of CCIAP. “Influenza is a serious viral infection with symptoms of cough, fever, fatigue and weakness, headache, general aches and pains, and respiratory congestion. It can take several weeks to recover.”

In vulnerable people such as those with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, children between 6 and 23 months of age, people who are morbidly

obese, Aboriginal peoples, residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities, and people 65 years of age and older, influenza can lead to serious complications and even death. Between 2,000 and 8,000 Canadians can die of influenza and its complications annually, depending on the severity of the season. “The most effective way to protect yourself from getting influenza is

to get vaccinated,” states Dr. Henry. “Immunization is a safe and effective way to prevent getting sick and spreading the virus to those around you – where you live, work and play.”

The best time to get immunized against influenza is October through to December. Talk to your local public health department or your health care provider about this year’s influenza vaccine.

On September 28, 2011 Debden School held the “World Milk Day Biggest Mustache” contest. The biggest mustache was awarded to Kaiden, a kindergarten student at Debden School. Kaiden will receive free milk every day for one week. Nice mustache Kaiden!

Pastor David Baldock, Parkside Pentecostal Church Is it just me, or is it hard to believe that it’s almost Thanksgiving again?

School has been back in for over a month now and that all 3 of our boys are in school this year. I find that is something I am thankful for. They are enjoying it and we are enjoying a few more peaceful moments in our week. Actually, I’m the only one in our house who isn’t in school at the moment. I enjoy learning, but it does take some work and some time, so I am thankful not to have that

October 7, 2011

on my plate at the moment.

For most of us it shouldn’t be hard to find at least a few things we are thankful for. We’ve had pretty good weather this year at harvest time, for one. Whether you’ve been in the field yourself or not, who can complain about 20 degree weather late in September? While finding things to be thankful for is not that difficult, it’s not something we often take time to do. Thanksgiving is a great holiday for this very reason. It is a reminder to be thankful for what we have, even in the midst of “troubling

economic times.” We are still blessed, and so we should be thankful. In some homes, this coming weekend might be one of the few times that “saying grace” is remembered when sitting down to eat, but our daily bread should be a cause for regular thankfulness. It’s great to have a holiday that reminds us to be thankful, and to celebrate the good things God has blessed us with.

But in my mind it should also be a time to remember those who are not as fortunate as we are. True thankfulness should begin with realizing how much we have and how much we are blessed, but it should not end there. It should also guide us to see the needs of others more clearly and encourage us to meet those needs according to our capacity. Thankfulness does not mean believing that I deserve the many blessings I have; true thankfulness means understanding that I don’t deserve it and that out of the blessing I have received, I have been given the capacity to bless others.

The very idea of the thanksgiving holiday arose out of thanksgiving for

Riviera’s ‘Cutter’ a saviour for Yankees Forty-year-olds playing major professional sports have almost always been hangers-on, oncegreat players merely playing out the string.

Let’s cut to the chase and meet the exception — Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees.

Rivera, a Panamanian, will be 42 years old this November and he is still Major League Baseball’s best, most reliable, and certainly most amazing — considering his age — relief pitcher. This year, the ace closer saved 44 games for the Yanks, the fourth-best total of his career.

Let’s also cut to the chase and zero in on why Rivera has defied every age-related athletic assumption and continued to mow down hitters and save victories for the Yankees, who are chasing yet another World Series title: The baffling ‘cutter.’

Rivera’s ‘cutter’ — a cut fastball — is the only pitch he throws. Normally, a one-pitch pitcher has about as much job security as a hockey player

Bruce Penton who goes over on his ankles, but that cutter is so dominating, so infuriatingly hard to hit that Rivera has racked up 603 saves since 1996 — the most in baseball history.

Hardballmechanics.com says that the break on Rivera’s pitch is “so late, the batter must commit to swing before he knows where it’s going. That late break is a product of maximum rotation and just the right finger pressure on the ball.”

Rivera throws with such ease of motion that his right arm seems like it could throw 95 MPH cutters for another 10 years.

When he finally decides to retire, he will have established a saves’ record that will stand forever.

Under the guidance of our Conservative i government, Canada’s economy has remained strong in a time of global financial crisis. Prime Minister Harper’s stewardship of the economy has earned praise from financial experts and world leaders. By keeping taxes low, our government has kept our nation on track, creating jobs and economic growth.

Members of the official opposition party in the House of Commons, the NDP, have made no secret of their desire to implement job-killing taxes should they gain power. In fact, the NDP have publicly criticized tax cuts made by our government.

The strong mandate given to our government by the voters shows the faith the Canadian people have in our government and our economic policies. If any further proof of the effectiveness of our fiscal policies is needed, one only need check the statistics. Nearly 600,000 jobs have been created in our country since 2009. The manufacturing sector in our country continues to grow – particularly here in Saskatchewan.

While the NDP claims to have the interests of the family in mind, it is our government that has put money in the pockets of Canadian families through our low-tax policies and economic development.

Protecting families is a core value of our party, and we will continue to work to create safer communities, with more legislation in the works to bolster our strong stance against crime. These new laws are designed to protect children and the elderly.

The global economy remains fragile, yet the stability created by our government’s fiscal policies speaks for itself. The last thing our economy needs is a job-killing tax hike, such as the one the NDP proposes, that would endanger our economic future.

Perhaps his longevity is due to his late start in baseball. Rivera was almost out of his teens before a scout noticed him — and even then, he was a shortstop who pitched in an emergency one day when the regular starter didn’t show up. He underwent elbow surgery at the age of 23 and the Yankees thought so little of him, they didn’t even protect him when Florida Marlins and Colorado Rockies held drafts to stock their expansion teams.

But something clicked for Rivera in 1995. He discovered his cutter. He’s been dominating hitters ever since. And will he be a first-year inductee in the Hall of Fame? Automatic, just like that reliable cutter.
