Big River Mill set for fall opening Despite suffering a sizable setback, the long shuttered Big River Lumber Mill should be up and running before the end of 2013.

Carrier Forest Products President, Bill Kordyban said that the company is currently readying the mill for production and expects the facility to be up and running by this fall.

“We are looking forward to starting up. Things seem to be going well,” said Kordyban.

The mill was initially set to open in conjunction with the former Prince Albert Pulp and Paper Mill but that mill’s start up date has been delayed for a second time with the facility now slated to start production in 2014. Part of the viability of the Big River Mill is the sale of the lumber by-products. In the past, Prince Albert was their most convenient partner but Kordyban said they will likely have to find another market for the waste materials.

“It would be our preference to sell our chips there (Paper Excellence) but it doesn’t look like they will be starting up in time so we may have to look for another place for chips but the hogfuel looks like it may have a home at Paper Excellence in their co-generation plant,” said Kordyban.

Pulp mills utilize wood chips in the production of pulp while hog fuel is unprocessed wood waste that can be used in a co-generation plant to generate electricity.

Carrier does not currently have a deal in place with Paper Excellence for the sale of their hogfuel.

Though it isn’t yet fully operational, the company is using their Big River asset to assist in production for its other Saskatchewan facility in Prince Albert.

Trucks have been rolling down the highway between Prince Albert and Big River carrying lumber from facility to facility.

Carrier has been utilizing the kiln at the Big River mill to dry lumber cut at their Prince Albert facility.

Meanwhile, the company is slowly growing its workforce as full implementation of the mill approaches this fall.

“We’ll be slowly ramping up as we get closer and closer to operating. We will be hiring on a progressive basis,” said Kordyban.

At its’ peak, the mill could potentially employ upwards of 100 people.

He expects that some of those people

Thousands of board feet of lumber are stacked outside of the kiln at the Carrier Forest Product’s Big River Lumber Mill.

The mill is set to open this fall after being closed since 2006. will be former Big River Mill employees who still reside in the area.

“It is sure heartening they may have gone to work in the oil patch or in mines but they want to come back,” said

Kordyban.

“We’ve had good interest from people applying for jobs.”

The Big River Lumber Mill, purchased

by Prince George, BC based Carrier

Lumber in 2011 from EACOM Timber, has been closed since 2006, when then owner Weyerhaeuser decided to close it along with the Prince Albert Pulp and Paper Mill.

Demand and weather risk on Grains are finally recovering a bit after their sharp decline following the U.S.D.A.’s March 28th stocks and planting intentions report. The bearish report dropped the market like a newborn baby giraffe coming out of the womb. This has eventually pushed some buyers to get back in the game. Particularly, while managed money (funds) liquidated a lot of their long positions in corn and soybeans, commercial end-users picked a fair amount of those contracts

Specifically, up to a foot of snow could possibly fall in some parts of the Eastern U.S. cornbelt while cold temperatures slow the melt of the snow on both sides of the 49th parallel. North American farmers and traders aren’t the only ones concerned about weather implications though: a drier spring in southern Russia & Ukraine contrasts the wet weather in the U.K., France, Germany, and northern Russia & Ukraine.

ending stocks are seen at a 35-year low of 9.5 million tonnes.

With markets lower than where they were a month ago, China bought one million tonnes of US soft red winter wheat late last week at a price of $330 per tonne, about $32 per tonne cheaper than domestic Chinese wheat prices (after tariffs). Issues of fusarium head blight in parts of the Chinese wheat belt has some analysts suggesting that the Asian supernation’s estimated crop of 120 million tonnes isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Keep in mind, China’s 2012 wheat imports, which was mostly feed-grade wheat, were the highest in eight years.

Staying in Asia, a bird flu

scare is deterring consumers from eating poultry, implying lower feed demand in the world’s largest buyer of soybean meal. Already 21 people have been infected and a few have unfortunately passed away as a result. This is putting some downward pressure on the soybean/oilseed market.

However, the World Health Organization has already pumped China’s tires for doing a good job of containing the virus via the slaughter of tens of thousands of chickens and closing live poultry markets.

Even if McDonald’s has cut its McNuggets prices in half, you wouldn’t catch me dipping into any sweet’n’sour sauce if I was in China right now.

While the Asian market remains up in the air between Chinese demand questions, the weakening of the Japanese currency, and North Korea being the “toodrunk-guy” at the party, weather is on many minds in North America. Western Canadian farmers are just hoping the snow will melt so they can see some dirt, but colder weather means another U.S. winter wheat freeze threat (Kansas & Oklahoma at the greatest risk). For a U.S. winter wheat crop that is at its worst start since 2002 (only 34% rated good-toexcellent compared to 58% this time last year), the longer Ol’ Man Winter sticks around, the bigger potential loss of production.

OPINION www.shellbrookchronicle.com

April 26, 2013

Surprise teams in the hunt for NHL playoffs It has always been fun for me to watch the National Hockey League standings toward the end of the season and compare the outcomes to predictions made by the so-called experts at the beginning of the season. There is always the risk of looking like a fool when prognosticating anything so I feel for these folks but at the same time, I have always cheered against them.

Each year, they write off a handful of teams, who they claim have no shot at making it to the post season. Then they place a few more on the bubble before giving their list of can't miss teams who will, no doubt, challenge for the Stanley Cup in the spring (summer).

BRAD I love it when a “next year” team DUPUIS arrives a year early and throws off ~ the balance of the entire league.

This year is the perfect example of Guest that in that a hand full of the teams Columnist that have already clinched playoff spots, or are very close to it in the last week of the regular season, weren't supposed to be there.

In the Eastern Conference, each of the Canadian teams surprised as two have clinched while two are on the bubble.

Before the season started, one hockey publication placed the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens 11th and 13th in the conference.

With only minor changes to either roster through the season, Montreal sits in 4th and at press time was tied with the Boston Bruins for top spot in the North East Division while Toronto sat in 5th after clinching their What I find first playoff birth in nine years. most satisfyBoth of these teams were written off ing about the by the experts based on what the team successes of looked like on paper and how they these once performed in the past. However, what written off couldn't be measured was how offseateams is that son acquisitions would mix into the they found a team and how that team would react to way to achieve being an underdog. even though The Ottawa Senators was projected as they weren't a bubble team while the Winnipeg Jets, supposed to. in the second year of their honeymoon, They didn't get were projected to finish out of the playthe memo that offs. Ottawa has proved that guts can get they were a you a long way in the absence of skill as bad team. they have managed to stay in the playoff hunt despite a rash of injuries to key players.

Meanwhile in the west, the Detroit Red Wings league best 21 year playoff streak is in doubt as they sit in 9th place in the conference with three games left to play, at press time.

Conversely, the Columbus Blue Jacket sit in the 8th and final playoff spot after being projected to finish at the bottom of the conference. The Blue Jackets shipped out one star (Rick Nash) and brought in another (Marion Gaborik) and took on a cast off goalie in Sergei Bobrovski which likely changed their fortunes from bottom feeder to playoff contentder.

Despite this summer's big ticket signings (Zach Parise and Ryan Suter) the Minnesota Wild were also projected to be golfing in May but alas, the pundits were wrong as they need just one point in their final two games to secure a playoff spot.

What I find most satisfying about the successes of these once written off teams is that they found a way to achieve even though they weren't supposed to. They didn't get the memo that they were a bad team. The team found chemistry, worked hard and found a way to win even when nobody thought they had a shot. If that isn't inspiring, I don't know what is.

Shellbrook Chronicle

Symbols of rural anger revisited To suggest voters hold grudges might be a little unkind.

Nevertheless, there are times when a policy or personality does have a profound and lingering impact on the voter psyche. And the impact of that policy or person makes it a little harder to forget and forgive.

Just how long rural Saskatchewan voters’ memories are is now being put to the test in two recent political developments.

The first is the 20th anniversary of the closure of 52 rural hospitals and the Plains Health Centre on the outskirts of Regina that was built to serve Southern Saskatchewan rural clientele.

Admittedly, the hospital closures have not been the only problem in the NDP’s bad relationship with rural Saskatchewan.

Eleven years earlier in 1982, the then Grant Devine Progressive Conservatives swept all but two rural seats. And four years later in 1986, the NDP won just three seats, suggesting the NDP’s rural relations have been troubled for quite some time.

That said, then-NDP-premier Roy Romanow’s government that closed those rural hospitals in 1993 managed to elect a

sizeable rural caucus two years later in the 1995 general election.

Even back in 1993, voters showed a tremendous capacity for forgiveness ... or at least a willingness to assess the options.

That voting options MURRAY 20 years ago boiled down to a choice beMANDRYK tween New Democrats ~ and candidates for the Progressive Conservative, whose former MLAs were then being paraded through the courts during their caucus fraud scandal.

But when you ask rural voters that did not elect an NDP MLA in 2011 and have not elected more than two or three MLAs in every election since 1999 what it is they don’t like about the NDP you will get a list of long-standing grievances. You will hear about deteriorating highways, closure of agriculture centres, holding the 1999 election in the middle of harvest the ending of

GRIP contract in 1992.

But the thing you will hear most about is the 1993 rural hospital closures. And even though voters will acknowledge the need at the time to address the debt left behind by the PC government, you will hear resentment of how the deficits were fought on the backs of rural Saskatchewan _ perhaps as punishment for voting NDP in the past.

Moreover, with many rural residents still struggling with their health care needs, the impact of the 1993 hospital closures goes well beyond a grudge. There are daily reminders of this decision.

Similarly, unpopular government policies are sometimes attached to a single name.

One such name in rural Western Canada is “Trudeau”.

Some 45 years after his father Pierre Elliott Trudeau became Liberal leader, son Justin’s recently landslide election as current federal Liberal is again stirring up not-so-dormant memories in rural Saskatchewan.

Of course, there are other reasons why federal Liberals are unpopular in rural Western Canada. In fact, the legacy of Jean

Standardized exams A healthy democracy not necessarily good needs informed debate Dear Editor: Someone is trying to reinvent the wheel - provincially standardized exams for high school students. There are perhaps a few hurdles to consider and overcome. Children come to school with a myriad of desires, ambitions and abilities. These are formulated by another myriad of parental influences or lack there of, with expectations based on cultural and financial environment. Next comes the educator. This person, as well, is influenced by this own background, training and personal purpose in life.

The exams, tests are formulated by whom and based on what qualifications? Being educated doesn’t automatically qualify one to be an educator. These exams are corrected with what discipline in mind?

Perhaps we should continue to train the students to cope with the unknown and allow the students to choose his/her own destination in life. Let the employer take the responsibility of choosing and training suitable people who are interested in work available rather than attack the wage and benefit structure first.

Dear Editor, Would you take on a job that might kill your career? Kevin Page did when he accepted the position of legislative budget officer in the newly created Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO). He and other courageous civil servants committed to holding our government accountable. The PBO did this admirably for five years. It was the PBO that estimated an F-35 jet would be $128 million not $75 million and that the Tough-on-Crime bill would cost $5 billion not $2 billion.

As legislative budget officer, Kevin Page was too effective.

The Harper government is not renewing Page’s term, has appointed an interim officer with no budget analysis experience, and is keeping the process of selecting a new officer secret.

Page writes, “One year after the 2012 federal budget, which launched a significant fiscal austerity exercise, parliamentarians still do not have departmental plans to show how restraint will be implemented and service levels managed.

Notwithstanding, they are asked to vote on departmental authorities to spend your money. Parliamentarians almost never see financial-decision support analysis prepared by public servants. This was true on the tough-on-crime legislation, new military procurement as well as changes to the

Chretien/Paul Martin federal Liberal governments that included the long gun registry likely burns a little a little brighter than Pierre Trudeau policies of 30-plus years ago.

One might even think current-day frustrations with either the policies NDP Opposition leader Thomas Mulcair or Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government would far exceed whatever memory Westerners have of Pierre Trudeau.

That said, Pierre Trudeau policies like the National Energy Program did have a profound impact on the Western psyche and are still relived in today’s issues like the battle over the Keystone XL pipeline.

Meanwhile, other unpopular Trudeau policies like bilingualism, centralized government and even the metric system brought to us by the elder Trudeau are still with us.

End uranium sales The Green Party of Saskatchewan (GPS) wants to know why the Saskatchewan Party Government and NDP Opposition support exporting Uranium to China. At this moment, China is struggling to keep North Korea under control. If China is unwilling or unable to keep North Korea under control, how can our citizens be assured that Saskatchewan Uranium exports won’t be used to build nuclear weapons?

Saskatchewan should end Uranium sales, period. We may live to regret sending Uranium to a nation, any nation, that could turn around one day and use that Uranium to drop bombs on Canada. It is irresponsible for Saskatchewan to potentially contribute to the expansion of nuclear weapons or nuclear power in East Asia.

Report from the Legislature

Last week, our government took a major step supporting the ambitious Growth Plan goals pertaining to agriculture. Under Growing Forward 2, the provincial and federal governments are partnering to provide $388 million in funding over the next five years for programming for farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses and exporters.

This programming was created in consultation with agricultural producers, and includes: • $170 million in agriculture innovation, research and technology transfer; • $65 million in rural water infrastructure; • $60 million in environment, food safety, plant and animal health; • $32 million for

value-added business development as well as trade and market development; • $25 million in farm business management; • $4 million to support the industry in agriculture awareness initiatives;

• Business risk management programming such as Crop Insurance, AgriStability, AgriInvest and AgriRecovery.

Growing Forward 2 includes a new Agricultural Awareness Initiative. This program provides funding to producers, commodity organizations, agribusiness and agencies to develop and implement educational activities about how important the agriculture industry is in Saskatchewan and Canada.

Agriculture remains one of the top drivers of the Saskatchewan economy. This new five-year agreement will give our province’s hardworking agricultural producers and businesses the tools they need to ensure that continues. This programming will also help our government meet its Growth Plan

goals of increasing exports of agricultural and food products from $10 billion a year to $15 billion by 2020 and increasing crop production by 10-million tonnes over the next seven years.

You can also see the Sas-

katchewan Plan for Growth in action on the University of Regina campus. Our government is providing $10 million to build new housing for 605 post-secondary students at the University of Regina.

This financial commitment moves us closer towards our goal of 12,600 new housing units across the province by 2016.

Agency and the Ministry of Government Relations continue to hold a series of well attended informational meetings across the province, providing people an opportunity to gather information and advice on flood mitigation and programs available. The Emergency Management and Fire Safety already has more than a million sandbags, 68,000 feet of flood barrier and more than 80 pumps ready to go. This equipment will be distributed to municipalities and First Nations across southern Saskatchewan. Many lessons have been learned since 2011 and it is great to see so many communities being pro active and taking precautions. For more information about flood preparednessgo towww.gov.sk.ca/flood or www.wsask.ca.

Worst roads campaign The voting deadline has been extended to April 25th in CAA Saskatchewan’s Worst Roads Campaign. As the snow is now melting consistently, there is a greater possibility for more roads and highways to be identified which ultimately will allow Saskatchewan motorists the opportunity to vote for their worst road.

Since the campaign started on March 25th, approximately 2300 votes have been logged with the following current list of Top Ten Worst Roads: 1. Highway 123, Cumberland House 2. Highway 42, Dinsmore 3. Highway 908, Ile a La Crosse 4. Highway 22, Earl Grey 5. Highway 18, Beaubier 6. Pasture Road, Rosetown 7. Highway 155, La Loche 8. Highway 35, Love 9. Highway 18, Lake Alma 10. Highway 43, Gravelbourg (Note: visit here for updates) “What’s really interesting about this

year’s campaign,” remarked Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communications with CAA Saskatchewan, “are the roadways identified from all areas of our province.”

We are witnessing the commitment of Saskatchewan motorists and voters from across the province, with increased attention on roadways in northern Saskatchewan. Highway 123 near Cumberland House has been in the number one voting placement for a significant portion of the campaign thus far.”

A road qualifies as a “worst” if it is in general disrepair with potholes, cracks etc., has poor signage or congestion or is too narrow for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists to share safely. At the close of the campaign, the results will be sent to the appropriate government body and will also be available online at www. caask.ca/worstroads. Working towards better roads and driving safety is a priority for CAA Saskatchewan.

Farming good times will not last It was interesting reading a story in a recent farm publication where experts were cautioning farmers not to over spend in the current good times.

For the grain sector at least it has been a perfect storm of late. Everything that could happen to push prices higher, and keep them there, has converged in the last few years.

We have seen weather pressure in large grain exporting area such as the United States grain belt, a generally stronger commodity sector which when it rallies carries grain with it, a growing wealth in emerging economic powerhouses, particularly China, Korea and India, and a new demand sector with the emergence of biofuels from grains and oilseeds.

The stronger prices have helped the operational bottom line on grain farms look far better the last few years.

And the buoyancy in prices has also pushed farmland demand higher, and that means better prices, so farmers are gaining equity value in the land they already have.

The land price situation occurred in the late 1970s, early 80s as well, a time farmers bought land in the fall and were

gaining equity over the winter before ever planting a crop.

Bankers bought the equity gains hook, line and sinker and were eager to lend farmers money based on the increasing values, and farmers went along for the ride.

Then interest rates exploded, surpassing 20 per cent, and farmers were soon gathering at farm gate proCALVIN tests to try and hold off the sheriff and foreclosure actions.

DANIELS Now there are no real indicators ~ suggesting skyrocketing interest rates, but farmers should always be aware commodity prices are tied to some cosmic yo-yo.

They may be high for a time, but they will decline again too.

It is likely the bottom of the decline curve will be higher than in the past, but that does not mean the lows will mean black ink on farms. Remember costs are constantly climb-

ing for machinery, labour, fuel and fertilizer too.

The increased spending power of the Far East is a trend that will continued long term, but not necessarily without bumps on the road. A stagnant U.S. economy with no clear plan of recovery, and teetering economies in Europe will not suffer in isolation. They will be a drag on the world economic situation.

The impact of biofuel production is also likely to decline into the future.

To begin with markets are rather elastic and adapt to new demands rather quickly, so the impact from biofuel demand is already factored into the market reality.

And that demand may actually decline rather than grow.

While demand for biofuels may see expansion technology to use everything from ocean plankton to city garbage is likely to turn the sector away from farm grains and oilseeds.

So the experts are right in cautioning farmers to remember the good times today will not last forever, and markets are going to eventually fluctuate lower once more.

Province and industry invest in laboratory Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart unveiled new technology at the Crop Protection Laboratory that tests for clubroot. The new equipment is the result of an investment of more than $200,000 by the provincial government and industry partners.

“Our government is committed to providing the tools and services our farmers need to remain successful and sustainable,” Stewart said. “These renovations and this new technology will provide new, improved and more

timely services for producers for years to come and will play a critical role in managing disease issues.”

Clubroot is a crop disease that can cause serious yield losses in canola, mustard and other crops. The new equipment at the Crop Protection Lab allows for the detection of clubroot DNA from soil samples.

Previously, all soil survey samples had to be sent to Alberta for clubroot testing.

The provincial government partnered with SaskCanola, SaskFlax and the

Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission to expand the diagnostic ability of the Crop Protection Lab. “Having the ability to test for clubroot at the Crop Protection Laboratory is an important advancement for the canola industry in Saskatchewan,” SaskCanola Chair Joan Heath said. “Being able to monitor and assess the presence of clubroot and respond in a timely manner will ensure that we are able to limit the spread of this and other diseases in our crops. Over the past few years, SaskCanola has invested close to $1 million in levy funds for clubroot research.

Prevention and management are key and we are pleased to have provided funding for the diagnostic equipment which will support and assist our producers and industry.”

In addition to this funding to improve the Crop Protection Lab to test for clubroot, the provincial government works with industry on clubroot prevention and management plans, provides educational information and assistance, co-ordinates canola disease surveys and clubroot surveillance. In addition, clubroot has been declared a pest under The Pest Control Act. The Crop Protection Lab is the only facility in Saskatchewan that provides broad-scale diagnostic services in the areas of plant health, insects, weed control and herbicide resistance screening. In addition to now being able to test for clubroot, the Crop Protection Lab also provides services for insect and plant identification, plant disease diagnosis, herbicide resistance testing and honey bee pest di-

That being said though, any additional precipitation once the snow disappears would not be welcomed.

Above-average spring run-off conditions are anticipated by the majority of municipalities across Western Canada.

Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. expects precipitation to be more likely in the eastern part of the Prairies. That doesn’t help farmers in the Red River Valkey as the U.S. National Weather Service doesn’t expect the seasonal “flooder” to crest in North Dakota until mid-May, meaning it will be the end of May before it crests in Manitoba.

The U.S.D.A. recently told us that only four percent of the U.S. corn crop has been planted, well behind the 26 percent pace last year and the five-year average of 16 percent. According to University of Illinois Agriculture Economist Darrel Good though, for the corn crop, one shouldn’t be too worried as only something planted after May 20th is really considered late. Staying with the academics, Perdue University professor Bob Nielsen says that yield potential declines after about May 1 (down 0.3% per day in early May to about 1% per day by the end of May).

ions differ from long-time commodities analyst, Dennis Gartman, who believes that as the days and weeks pass, more corn acres will be traded in for soybeans. It’s already been suggested that 500,000 – 1 million acres in North Dakota that were once pegged for corn, will now being something else (most likely cereal crops). This is also expected across the 49th as more oilseed crops may be switched out in favour of the cereals. The market is starting to price this in as already new crop barley (October and December) on the ICE Canada exchange dropped below $200 a tonne.

When push comes to shove, no one likes to rush but the weather is surely affected both planting and the development of the crop. Onethird of the U.S. winter wheat crop is rated poor-to-very poor while only eight percent of the crop is headed (compared to 42 percent last year and the five-year average of 19 percent).

Warmer, drier weather should help speed up crop development but just like warmer weather makes the fields look ready to get in to, the reality is that things can still be not that great (you might get stuck!)

Province celebrates as SAID program turns 10,000

More than 10,000 Saskatchewan people with long-term and enduring disabilities now have a better quality of life thanks to enrollment in the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability program (SAID).

“I am so pleased that we are helping improve the quality of life of these 10,000 Saskatchewan citizens,” Social Services Minister June Draude said. “The SAID program supports our government’s goal to make Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live for people with disabilities, and we are deeply committed to supporting this important program for many years to come.”

“I want to thank the Government of Saskatchewan for helping us to help these 10,000 people realize the dignity and independence that they deserve,” Program Implementation Advisory Team (PIAT) Chair Merv Bender said. “This is a wonderful achievement when you consider that there were only about 2,700 people enrolled in SAID when the program started back in 2009.”

In addition to expanding enrollment, there were also substantial increases to the benefits that SAID members receive.

On top of the $50 increase in January 2012, average benefits are being increased over four years by $100 per month for those living in residential care; $350 per month for those in independent living arrangements; and $400 per month for

summer, the second stage of SAID increases will be implemented across the province.

SAID features a new benefit structure that combines some allowances available under the Saskatchewan Assistance Plan (SAP) into a Living Income, further distinguishing SAID as a different program of income support than welfare. This structure was recommended by the Task Team on Income Support for People with Disabilities.

The SAID program was introduced in October 2009 in collaboration with members of the disability community with the goal of providing a dignified income support program for persons with significant and enduring disabilities separate from SAP. This collaboration will continue on the further development of SAID.

After great debate, practice and a few trial and errors the Resident Symphony was selected.

was next on the agenda and this was done through a letter to the editor, and by making and handing out invitations made and signed by our residents. A formal invite from PAPHR was followed up with a personal phone call done by some of the regions youth volunteers. The Affinity Credit Union electronic billboard also flashed the event.

Shirley and George Morris greeted our guests who were wowed by the décor that tied the theme of the celebration together!

Volunteers …A Symphony of Service.

Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised with the turn out. Every available chair and sit down floor space in the house was used by individuals, groups, youth volunteers and Mrs. Boettcher’s grade 4/5 class.

Our residents were ever so proud to be the afternoon’s main attraction. As they waited in their places, Pat Sonntang, Volunteer Pianist, played a lovely variety of entry music. Sonya Jahn, Director of Volunteer Services emceed and welcomed our volunteers. Linda Bator, Volunteer, led the Tone Chime Band (consisting of Louise Schmalz, Edna Lens, Lawrence Yungwirth, Mar-

tin Marchildon, Olaf Olson, Nellie Baun, Theresa Olson, and Verna Didiuk) through “It’s a Small World After All” and “I Love Those Dear Hearts and Gentle People.”

A poem written and dedicated to our Volunteers was read by Hazel Canaday. Olaf Olson charmed us with his comb and paper version of “The Church in the Wild Wood.” Grace Colby brought us to tears with the inspirational story she read focusing on the difference youth volunteers make in the world of people who live in special care homes.

Lynda Berg brought messages from PAPHR and shared a story on how an older person spoke for the first time in five years when given the opportunity to interact with younger people. She commended our youth on being part of the care team in our home.

Patty Couture, Director of

Care for Shellbrook Hospital and Betty Danger, Facility Manager for Parkland Terrace thanked our volunteers for their commitment to volunteering.

Long Service Awards were presented to Volunteers who have contributed service for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 65 years. Several individuals and groups were recognized with some having served 35 years; congratulations to Lillith Schantz, Marion and Albert Hannigan, Shellbrook Legion Auxiliary Branch #111, Shellbrook Legion Branch #111, and Cameo Hilldrop Ladies Guild, and Order of the Royal Purple #102 Shellbrook, Knox United Church.

Elsie Prosser expressed words of thanks and appreciation for all the wonderful work others do for those in the home. We needed a moment to gather ourselves after a most touching address.

She also gave the most beautiful blessing before lunch was served.

The room was filled with conversation and mingling as the guests enjoyed a variety of desserts, coffee, tea and juice provided by our dietary staff. And as an added note the decision was unanimous: drinking out of real china does make the hot beverage taste better!

To sum the afternoon up…

The service of others creates the symphony we experience regularly. This service comes in many notes and styles. The symphony can be found creating harmony in individual, small or larger groups both in young and old. The time, skills and talent of many create the joy we all look forward to and strive in. Whether it is something planned or spontaneous, it makes a difference. Thank you to all volunteers for all you are and all you do!

Victory for taxpayers, people on reserves In 2009, when the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) called for a new law that would require Canada’s aboriginal reserves to post their

chief and council’s pay online, many snickered.

“Good luck,” we were told pessimistically by several skeptics.

The Shellbrook Curling Club would like to thank the following sponsors for their support for our 2013 Open Bonspiel. Without your support, it would not have been a success.

Thank you from the Shellbrook Curling Club!

They just didn’t believe the federal government could be convinced to table a bill requiring aboriginal chiefs and councillors on reserves to disclose their pay to the public.

After all, some chiefs and councillors are known for threatening blockades. The skeptics doubted we could we get Ottawa to muster up the courage to table a bill that would ruffle many chiefs’ feathers; even though politicians off reserve all have to routinely disclose their pay.

Thankfully, the skeptics were wrong.

After a three-year push to require the annual disclosure of chiefs and councillors’ pay, the government not only tabled a bill to do precisely what we urged, it recently became law. Yes, as of this year, annual audited statements from each reserve will be disclosed to the public on the federal government’s web site. The same site will also disclose pay information for each chief and councillor in Canada. ake no mistake, many chiefs and councilors are already transparent. For them the law won’t really change much.

However, in communities like the Squamish First Nation, where band officials have tried to suggest they are “prohibited by law” from releasing details on the chief’s salary, it’ll be a welcome improvement.

So how did we go from a situation three years ago where no politician in Ottawa would say ‘boo’ about sky-high chief and council pay to actually passing a disclosure law for every reserve in Canada?

The answer is simple – brave men and women on reserves and people living off reserve speaking out.

After exposing the high

salaries on the Peguis reserve pay (thanks to whistleblower Phyllis Sutherland) back in 2009, we seemed to hit a tipping point. Many grassroots aboriginal people living on other reserves came forward to either leak documents from their communities or speak out publicly about the lack of transparency and accountability on their reserves.

For example, when the CTF held a press conference in Winnipeg to talk about improving transparency on reserves in 2010, an 83-year old aboriginal elder drove for two hours the night before and then slept in his car in order to be there for the morning event. He later described how elders in his community pooled some money together to pay for his gas because it was so important for them to have a voice pushing for improved accountability and transparency.

As the grassroots kept speaking out, so did people off reserve as well. Comments online and on radio talk shows were overwhelmingly in favour of improved transparency. While the Harper government got the message it’s too bad opposition parties voted against such a common sense law. As the dust settles on this victory, we’ll repeat something we’ve said from the beginning.

This legislation won’t solve all the problems on reserves; the whole situation is complex and many of the policy ideas out there are divisive.

But it will shine a light on where the money is going. Thumbs up to those who spoke out and to the Harper government for listening.

Terrell Piguet PIGUET - Terrell “Terry” Wayne Piguet, 68, of Parkside, SK died at home March 27, 2013. While embracing the truth of Ephesians 2:8-9, he peacefully entered the presence of his Lord and Saviour surrounded by family and friends.

He was born April 7, 1944 in Marshfield, Wisconsin to the late Kenneth and Lauralda (Burg) Piguet.

Terry grew up on a small dairy farm near Auburndale, WI and graduated from Auburndale Union High School in 1962. He attended Bible School and served in the US Air Force for four years as a jet engine mechanic including one tour of duty in Southeast Asia. In 1974, Terry immigrated to Prince Albert, SK. His jobs over the years included the construction trades, tractor mechanic, and machinist before devoting most of his time and effort to aviation. He worked as an aircraft mechanic, flight instructor, charter pi-

lot, bush pilot, and agricultural pilot and accrued nearly 5,000 hours of flight time.

Terry enjoyed many activities such as motorcycling, fixing things, hunting, fishing and water-skiing. After the age of 38, when he experienced the onset of Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, he enjoyed being a home-school educator to his two youngest daughters, traveling, building and flying remote-controlled aircraft, studying theology and the Bible, and reading.

Over the years Terry played various instruments such as the accordion, trombone and cornet. He was a charter member of Leask Bible Church where he met Irene Isaak to whom he was married in June 1982. Terry came to understand the sovereignty of God and learned to delight in it. This gave him the courage to face the future as over the years he would continually experience many losses due to his Muscular Dystrophy.

Terry is survived by his loving wife Irene as well as four children: daughter Stephanie (Randy) Kennedy, son Kevin, daughter Darcy (Samuel) Hildebrandt, and daughter Megan Piguet. He is also survived by six grandchildren, several greatgrandchildren, his brother Jerome (Helen) Piguet, and many extended family members.

Terry was buried March 30 in the Parkside Cemetery. A celebration of his life will be held Sunday, May 5 at the Parkside Heritage Centre, Parkside, SK from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Gerald Kendel KENDEL – Mr. Gerald 1956 – 2013 Gerald Clifford Kendel passed away on Friday, April

OBITUARIES ~

to expand the farm, Gerry was a key part of that. Gerald’s experience in his welding career was invaluable on the farm, enabling him to fabricate anything that was needed. In May 1984 Gerry met Debbie and later that year he proposed and they married in November 1986.

In May 1987, their daughter Ashley was born. Gerry wasted no time in sharing his love of fishing with her, and took her on her first fishing trip to Dickens Lake at just 2 months old.

In July of 1988, they moved out to the Sommerfeld farm where Gerry would farm and raise his family. In February 1990 his son Brooks was born. Just as Ashley’s first fishing trip was, Gerry took Brooks to B.C on a fishing trip and tenting when he was 6 months old. He loved spending time with his kids, and shared his

deep love for the outdoors with them. Gerry worked year round to provide for his family; he worked the pipeline through the winter, and would return from spring break up to begin seeding his crop for the year. After 30 years of working in the oil field, and stripping the earth of its non-renewable resources, Gerry decided to give back. In 2007, he became a certified Apricus Solar dealer, and founded the company “My Solar World”. This was the first of its kind in Saskatchewan, and has since gained tremendous popularity across Canada. Of Gerry’s many talents, he was always a great cook; he loved to share those meals with the less fortunate sometimes making a large pot of soup and homemade bread and taking it out to Sturgeon Lake Reserve to share.

katchewan citizens,” Education Minister Russ Marchuk said. “I encourage community organizations to develop innovative partnerships within their regions and work together to co-ordinate literacy projects that focus on local literacy challenges and opportunities.”

In 2013-14, the SCLF will assist communities in developing and implementing community literacy projects that focus on the literacy needs of First Nations, Métis and Inuit citizens, immigrants, people with disabilities, young or lone parents and working age youth.

Funding of up to $50,000 is available for individual projects between three months and one year in length.

The SCLF, which succeeds the SaskSmart Innovations Fund, supports the higher achievement and improved literacy of all learners and strives to provide equal opportunities for learners regardless of where they live in the province or their personal circumstances.

Under the new funding model, the SCLF will have outcomes-based planning and reporting which will help organizations identify specific learning and program outcomes and provide a way to report their successes.

The deadline for proposals is June 15, 2013. For more information, visit www.education.gov.sk.ca/ literacy.

Canadian Red Cross thanks its volunteers The Canadian Red Cross celebrates National Volunteer Week and thanks the more than 20,000 volunteers who deliver programs and services across the country. In Saskatchewan, 538 volunteers were active this year, assisting thousands of people in need through the delivery of much needed assistance in disaster relief and recovery, violence and abuse prevention education, and injury prevention.

“Volunteers are the backbone of the Red Cross and serve at all levels of the organization”, said Rebecca Benko, Operations Manager for the Red Cross in Saskatchewan. “I am continually impressed, not only by the dedication and compassion of our volunteers, but also by the skills and experience they bring to the Red Cross. We are very fortunate to have so many high caliber volunteers providing leadership and service; we would not be able to help so many people in need without them.”

As the world’s largest humanitarian movement, the Red Cross/Red Crescent has

close to 100 million volunteers in 187 countries around the world. Canadian Red Cross volunteers have worked as part of this movement for more than 100 years and continue to provide community-base services and assistance while also supporting the larger international movement through disaster appeals, and health and development programs.

Volunteer opportunities exist at all levels of the Canadian Red Cross and suit a variety of interests, availability, skills and experience. From local program delivery to disaster response, there are a wide range of volunteer positions that provide a meaningful way for people to help improve the lives of vulnerable people.

Province developing program, for hazardous waste

The Ministry of Environment is partnering with the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council (SWRC)

to begin developing a province-wide program for the collection and disposal of household hazardous waste

(HHW).

“This is an important step in our efforts to find responsible options for res-

idents to dispose of household hazardous waste such as solvents, pesticides, fluorescent lights and

products containing mercury,” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said.

for Growth is intended to build a better quality of life for all Saskatchewan residents and the collection and disposal of household hazardous waste materials will help protect our environment and human health and create new opportunities for industry.”

The ministry is providing $20,000 in funding to SWRC to take on the initial work of consulting with industry and stakeholders, to determine what products will be targeted and the regulations that will be required to develop such a program. SWRC maintains good working relationships with the stakeholders with an interest in HHW recycling and disposal. The goal for the consultation would be to create a consensus for an effective, permanent, industry-funded, province-wide solution for HHW. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to begin the process of establishing a household hazardous waste program and appreciate the commitment of the Ministry of Environment to waste reduction in Saskatchewan,” SWRC Executive Director Joanne Fedyk said. “The intention will be to follow a similar model as with other industry-led recycling programs.”

The consultations with industry, municipalities and other potentially affected groups will occur over the summer and fall with a final report containing recommendations on program structure and governance being completed in early 2014.

The Minister announced the development of the Household Hazardous Waste program during the SWRC Saskatchewan Waste Minimization Awards ceremony in Saskatoon on April 18. The awards promote and encourage all sectors of the province to reduce waste by recognizing the successes of those who are leading or employing reduction activities.
