Potential sale of Fur Lakes land draws concern Lake property owners in Saskatchewan are watching the result of an land purchase offer made by the Mistawasis First Nation. The First Nation issued a letter of interest to the provincial government to purchase crown land deemed Critical Wildlife Habitat in the Fur Lakes region, north west of Shellbrook. Brian McCaig. Councilor for the Resort Village of Big Shell Lake, is concerned that an approval at Fur Lakes could set a precedent for future land claims which could then put greater pressure on lakes that are already heavily used. “At Big Shell Lake, we are worried about any developer that comes along and wants to buy up the shore land and put more cabins on it,” said McCaig. What he perceives as a lack of public consultation in regards to the potential sale of Fur Lakes lands is also dubious. “There’s hardly anything that goes on in this world that there isn’t some form of public consultation on before it happens,” said McCaig. Roger Daniels, Land Claim Administrator for the Mistawasis First Nation, said the targeted parcels land were chosen because they were vacant Crown land that was relatively close to the Mistawasis reserve lands.

Shellbrook residents eligible for disaster assistance funds Victims of ﬂooding in the town of shellbrook now have another avenue to pursue to cover the costs of repairing damaged property. The Town of Shellbrook has been deemed a disaster area and residents are now eligible for Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) funding. The designation was made as a result of ﬂooding caused by heavy rains and excessive power outage on the evening of June 24. According to Town of Shellbrook Administrator, Kelly Hoare, the Town had to apply to the province to be consid-

ered a disaster area to enable community members to be eligible for funding under the program. Now residents with water damage can ﬁll out the paperwork and the program administration will determine if they qualify and for how much funding. Forms for the program are available through the Shellbrook Municipal Ofﬁce and the Towns website www.shellbrook.org. According to Hoare, the Town itself may also be up for some disaster relief funds as a part of the program. The Town has gone to great expense as a result of a sewer

line break at the East end of 2nd Avenue East caused by excessive ground water. Because the repair was an unbudgeted expense, the town has opted to use funds earmarked for sewer line relining to cover the cost while postponing the planned sewer line relining project until next year. The town budgeted to spend $160,000 on relining this ﬁscal year. It has yet to be determined what the total cost of the repair will be. The deductible for the program is 0.1 percent of the municipality’s annual assessment.

Rural and Remote Health Minister visits region The province’s Minister of Rural and Remote Health, Randy Weekes, made stops in Big River, Shellbrook and Spiritwood as a part of a provincial tour last week. During the province’s cabinet shuffle in May, Weekes was appointed as Minister for the newly formed Ministry of Rural and Remote Health. Weekes said that the tour is a part of fulfilling his mandate as Rural and Remote Health Minister as a big part of the portfolio is getting out and meeting community leaders and health care providers in rural and remote communities and hearing their concerns. “I’m finding it very informative to get that feedback from communities about their healthcare issues,” said Weekes. The biggest concern by far has been the recruitment and retention of physi-

cians. He said that the government has made some moves to train and recruit more doctors but there is still some more work to do. Since 2007, the province has established the provincial physician recruitment agency -- SaskDocs, created more medical training seats and opening the process for licencure to more international medical graduates through the SIPA program. “There’s a lot of things in the works that are going to bare fruit as we move along,” said Weekes. While visiting Shellbrook, Weekes and Rosthern- Shellbrook MLA Scott Moe toured the Shellbrook Hospital and spoke to healthcare providers before heading over to the Shellbrook and Districts Integrated Health Complex, which is slated to be completed in spring of 2013. Through his provincial tour, he has had

Pelican Lake youth missing

Jerome Harris The search continues for a 16 year old from the Pelican Lake First Nation who has been missing nearly a month.

Congratulations

Mom & Dad on

wonderful years together.

Jerome Harris was reported missing August 4 by family after not being seen since August 1. Spiritwood RCMP Cpl. Derek Sawatsky said that most of the reported sightings or tips have come from Prince Albert and the Big River First Nation but they have yet to receive anything concrete. The matter is being treated as a missing person, until the RCMP can prove otherwise. Sawatsky said that there is nothing that has lead RCMP to believe there is foul play in the case. Family friend Shawn Sullivan has helped organize

the civilian search efforts for Harris which have included 150 plus hours by searchers on quads investigating tips. Though tips have come in, RCMP and searchers in the community have yet to locate the youth. Harris is described as 5’6” and weighing 125 lbs with brown hair, brown eyes and a small mole above his right upper lip. He was last seen August 1 wearing a black hoodie. He may have shaved his head to change his appearance and may be using the alias Mowey Wowey. Sullivan said that he thinks Harris ran away because he believes that he is in trouble with the RCMP.

In a letter to the Spiritwood Herald, Sullivan pleads with Harris to call him so he can bring him home. “The police are not going to arrest you, they are looking for you because your kokum has asked them to help ﬁnd you,” Sullivan wrote in the letter. He also asked the public in Pelican Lake, Big River First Nation, Whiteﬁsh Lake, Prince Albert, Meadow Lake and areas in between to keep their eye out for Harris so that he can come home safe. Anyone with information please call Spiritwood RCMP at 306-883-4210 or Crime Stoppers.

Thank you...

“We are getting good advice from various communities about what they feel should be done for their community in their healthcare,” said Weekes.

Mistawasis Land Claim raises local concern Continued from page 1 He said he was uncertain what the band intended to do with the land if the government agreed to sell it to them, other than it would be available for the use of band members. “With the trust, all we do is buy land and turn it into reserve and then it is up to Chief and Council to decide what happens after that,” said Daniels. “Every parcel of land that we look at there’s always the idea of, what can we do with this over and above what it is already doing.” In 2005, the band purchased 4,800 acres of va-

cant Crown land adjacent to the reserve. There hasn’t been any development on that particular land but band members are free to use the land for berry picking, quading and hunting, according to Daniels. “We’ve left that pretty much as it is, put a ﬁre guard around it and that’s our plans with that,” said Daniels. He also noted that they had discussed the matter with the neighbouring Ahtahkakoop First Nation because it was in such close proximity to the reserve. The provincial government is currently looking into the land claim an d

different bodies. The RM of Canwood has also chimed in on the discussion as the land in question is adjacent to one of their gravel pits. The pit in question is nearing the end of its useful life and it is believed that there may be some gravel on the other side of the road, which has been included in the land claim. RM Reeve Colin Hughes said that if the land were to be sold, the access to their pit would also be sold with it. From then on, they would require permission to access the pit. Under current regulations, the land is ineligible for sale unless the environmental regulations are removed. If those conditions were removed, there would still be some legal hurdles to the purchase under other legislation. The land meets six of nine conditions that may preclude a sale under the Agricultural Crown Land Sales to Lessee Policy. Mistawasis would fund the purchase of the Fur Lakes land with part of the band’s $17-million speciﬁc

Fun with computers When I bought my first smart phone I thought that there would be a possibility that one day I would be writing a column on it. Well, it appears that the day has come. I crawled out of bed bright and early this morning, as I always do Wednesdays, to write my column. I fire up the coffee, grab some breakfast and head down to my home office at the usual ungodly hour. I sit down at the machine, wiggle the mouse, click on the browser and... Nothing. I restart the machine, half expecting it not to start up, as it is nearing the end of it’s useful life, but the Windows symbol appears as usual. However, this time around I’m also greeted with an unfamiliar screen as the computer wakes up. Live Security Platinum has detected the following malware on your system, BRAD please click here go remove this DUPUIS problem. Now I’ve been around the ~ block enough times to know that News the only virus on my computer is the program telling me I have a problem. The virus apparently piggybacks on email attachments or tricks you into downloading it as a free virus scan. Apparently, my paid virus scanner didn’t pick it up as I downloaded that email attachment but it essentially wrecked my plans for the morning and ultimately changed the topic of my column this week. I’m a pretty careful guy when it comes to these things. My personal email blocks basically everybody who isn’t on an approved list. I run a virus scanner and if something doesn’t look right I don’t click on the link. But it seems that regardless of how careful you are, you are still susceptible to the ills making their rounds on the internet. Sometimes those forwards from an old friend come with a surprise. Anyway, upon discovering the infection and deciding to opt out of giving these scabs my credit card number, I disconnect the machine from the Internet and try to run my legitimate antivirus software. After a long deep system scan turned up the usual tracking cookies that appear during every scan I realized the situation wasn’t quite so simple. It would only stand to reason that these cyber criminals would build their product to thwart virus protection but that possibility simply didn’t dawn on me until today. So I searched the Web for a solution -- double checking to make sure I wasn’t downloading yet another virus in disguise. I’m no computer whiz kid but I have good working knowledge of computers. I was pretty surprised to see that there were specialized programs for this particular malady but it wasn’t a simple fix either. Despite the fix, I was shut down for the morning and forced to use alternate means to get my column ready for print.

VIEWPOINT www.shellbrookchronicle.com

Editor: I read with interest 'Property rights at risk at border', by Joseph Quesnel, and 'CWB, tyranny and economics' by Herb Pinder, The StarPhoenix August 17, 2012. Many legal problems are arising in Canada from Pierre Trudeau's refusal to include our individual civil right to own property into the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This allowed the truck belonging to Edwin and Alison Morris to be confiscated by Canadian border officials. The Charter does not protect them from having their property taken away by the state. They are denied their rights to presumption of innocence, due process or even any compensation for their truck. A serious 'civil rights deficit' exists within Canada and provides the impetus for our governments (federal and provincial) to enact laws allowing them to seize and keep citizens property without needing to prove that a crime was committed by the property owner, and without having to show that any crime was ever committed. Although Canadians have the right to own property, the government suppresses it. In Authorson v. Canada the govt. correctly argued that our right is not specifically written into the Charter. This is how the Charter is used to screen so many of our civil rights from us. Of these, our right to own property, is one of the oldest, most fundamental and powerful civil rights we have. Although currently prohibited by our federal and provincial governments through their many rights infringing laws, our civil rights never expire or cease to exist. This right was designed to protect an individual's property against state deprivation like what the Morrises encounter. The right to private property can be traced back to the Magna Carta (1215), the English Bill of Rights (1689) John Locke's Second Treatise (1690), Blacktstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769) and The Canadian Bill of Rights(1960). We in Canada adopted the civil rights contained within these famous legal documents through the preamble of our Constitution. At least three ways exist as a remedy for Canadians to regain function of our 'Charter excluded' civil rights. For example, if Prime Minister Harper were to keep a Conservative party promise and amend the Canadian Constitution to include our individual property rights or if the Supreme Court were to deliver a Charter challenge decision striking down property rights infringing legislation (such as those abusing the Morrises) and re-affirming our civil right to private property or provincially, Premier Brad Wall could fulfill a Sask Party policy of 2010 which calls for amending 'the current Saskatchewan Human Rights Code to enshrine the individual's Right to own property.

Future of commodity prices in question The immediate future in terms of grain prices must be one which is keeping forecasters sleepless at night right now. When we look at the current situation potash, where prices are softer than expected right now, it would seem to indicate commodity prices are about to decline in general. Generally one commodity, in this case potash, doesn't see price ﬂuctuations in isolation of commodities. The cloud hanging over the overall economic situation in Europe, particularly Greece, Italy, and several other countries certainly lend credence to concerns commodity prices are about to take a lower position. The American situation is no better, as much as politicians there might be posturing it otherwise as they ﬁght for the upcoming presidential election. Once the election is over whoever is the president is going to face an economy which is in shambles with no easy path to bettering the situation. With a shaky situation in the U.S. the world economy could teeter into recession rather easily. Yet against the backdrop of uncertainty grains and oil-

seeds seems to be running counter to those trends. Grain prices remain strong. There are a couple of reasons for this which seems quite apparent. For many years there has been an underlying belief grain prices would eventually strengthen and remain higher than historically expected based on the growing world population, and importance of food. CALVIN While many of the world's poor still DANIELS struggle to afford enough food, many facing starvation and malnutrition ~ daily, it does appear grains and oilseeds have greater value today. There is probably an element of grains and oilseeds being diverted to energy production playing a role as well since oil and gas are not being dragged down in the face of a world completely reliant on its energy sources.

Weather conditions are also playing a role. We see that in terms of what a drought across much of the U.S. is doing to corn and soybean prices. The Aug. 10 United States Department of Agriculture crop report cut 30 bushels per acre from this year’s estimated corn crop, and corn futures prices have set new record highs above $8.50 per bushel. Of course the American situation is an interesting one as drought conditions are a 2012 price element, but the bigger question of course is that of politics. The price influencing Farm Bill in the U.S. ends this September, and what replaces it against the backdrop of a country with financial red flags being waved all over Washington, are going to be as important to American farmers as the arrival of rain clouds moving forward. The Farm Bill will also have its effect on world prices. So while grain prices are doing well today, the longer term direction of prices is pretty much a roll of the dice with so many opposing pressures influencing them.

West Nile Virus a health risk for animals BY JENIFER HEYDEN, PAG REGIONAL LIVESTOCK SPECIALIST, NORTH BATTLEFORD

West Nile Virus is a mosquito-borne virus that can cause inflammation or swelling of the brain and spinal cord in horses, birds and humans. The virus first appeared in 1937 in Uganda. In 1999 it made its way to the United States, and since then it has become established across North America. It is important to note that there is no evidence that West Nile can be spread from birds to humans, birds to horses, from horse to horse, or from horse to human. Only specific species of mosquitoes spread the disease. These mosquitoes become infected as they feed on infected wild birds such as crows, blue jays, magpies and ravens. As of August 3rd, the risk level for West Nile virus in the central and southern health regions of Saskatchewan was rated as

moderate. This means that the mosquito species (Culex tarsalis) that carries West Nile virus has been recorded in numbers that warrant extra precautions. In the Prairie North Health region and Prince Albert Health region the risk level was rated as low – this means that we do have West Nile virus mosquito development, but numbers are still low. The risk tends to peak in Saskatchewan during July, August and early September, when standing water and other mosquito larva habitats are present, and following extended periods of warm weather. Certainly, those conditions are being met at this time. In horses the West Nile virus causes an encephalomyelitis, or brain and spinal cord infection. Most horses bitten by a mosquito infected with West Nile virus will not develop clinical disease. They develop an asymptomatic infection,

eliminate the virus and are none the worse for it. For those that do become sick, clinical signs may include, but are not limited to: listlessness, limb weakness, inability to swallow, loss of appetite, depression, muscle twitching, inability to stand, stumbling and lack of coordination and death. These signs may be confused with other nervous system disorders in horses such as rabies, sleeping sickness, equine herpes virus and tetanus. There is no speciﬁc treatment for horses affected with West Nile virus. Just over one third of horses showing clinical signs of the disease may die or have to be euthanized because of complications. Sometimes horses that do recover, may still exhibit permanent neurological symptoms. Since West Nile virus is transmitted by mosquitoes, insect control is important. The species of mosquito responsible for West Nile infection, Culex tarsalis, breeds in

small, warm, still puddles of water. These puddles of water include those found in poorly drained eaves troughs, bird baths, discarded rubber tires and even hoof prints that have formed in mud. Removal of stagnant water and tall vegetation as well as the use of insect sprays and repellents are some preventative measures that can be taken. In addition, there are vaccines for horses registered for use in Canada and are available from your local veterinarian. Horse owners should contact their veterinarian for information about the vaccines available and recommendations about their use as part of their disease prevention and herd health program. For more information on this or other related topics, please contact your local Saskatchewan Agriculture Regional Ofﬁce or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866457-2377.

Weed and brush control the modern way BY NADIA MORI REGIONAL FORAGE SPECIALIST, WATROUS

Sheep and goats have been called “ecological tools” for the 21st century. Cattle-only grazing and ﬁre suppression has left much of our rangelands degraded by an invasion of brush, weeds, and noxious weeds such as leafy spurge. The problem has in many cases reached a scale where chemical control is no longer economical. Innovative and consumersensitive range managers are adding sheep and goats to their livestock mix in order to control invasive plants without chemicals or energy intensive mechanical methods. These modern cowboys are realizing that they can get an economic return from their weed and brush control by targeting growing ethnic demand for sheep and goats in Western Canada. “Multi-Species Grazing – Your Brush and Weed Control Tool with an Economic Return” will be the focus of a conference being held September 5 and 6, 2012, in Humboldt. Internationally recognized meat goat experts, Dr. An Peischel and Dr. Frank Pinkerton will speak on range production and goat meat marketing. Saskatchewan experiences with multi-species grazing will be provided by former AESB pasture managers Ron Moss and Lee Sexton. Herd health issues will be discussed by Dr. Claire Card of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. An important part of this two day event will be pasture tours to the AESB Wolverine pasture (former PFRA) near Lanigan and the

Caprina Ranch near Jansen. These projects are funded by the Agricultural Demonstration of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) through the Canadian Meat Goat Association. The event will provide an important opportunity to discuss the ecological and economical reasons and benefits of using various combinations of cattle, goat, and sheep on pasture lands. Who should attend the conference? Here are just a few examples of people who benefit from attending the event: a cattle producer who is looking for market diversification, a sheep producer interested in collaborating on pasture utilization with cattle producing neighbours, a goat producer looking to offer weed control services, a weed control manager looking for more economical weed control options, and any combination of the above. The event is hosted by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada – AgriEnvironment Services Branch, and the Saskatchewan Goat Breeders Association. Conference registration is now open. To register please contact the Saskatchewan Goat Breeders Association at (306) 459-2270 or charmanca@gmail.com. For more information on the conference, you can also contact Nadia Mori, Regional Forage Specialist at the Watrous Regional Ministry of Agriculture office (306) 946-3219 or nadia.mori@gov.sk.ca.

Here we are again, back with our nose to the grindstone. Before I begin to get into the letter I really want to take the opportunity to thank all the editors and publishers who do take the time and make space available to publish this letter. From the comments I receive seniors appreciate it. Going to make an effort to keep this initial letter after the summer break nice and lighthearted. There will be time enough later in the year I think to get really serious. I think it was sometime in 2011 I was invited to go to Biggar where they had a different centennial celebration planned. There they had invited all the people 90 years and older to attend and talk about their life experiences and eventually some of these stories may find themselves in print in a book. It was the brain child of the Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism and I have to say it was a great idea. During the time I spent there I managed to talk to quite a few of the invited older guests and what they had to say was so very interesting. One elderly lady spoke to me about her age and her health and although, with a kind of knowing smile she had lots to say about the health care system, she attributed her age and health to her diet and her life in general as a younger woman. No packaged and instant food then, no genetically altered foods then, nearly all the staples such as flour, oatmeal and sugar came in large sacks and these sacks in turn were turned into items of clothing. No time to be bored, no tv, no tweeting, other than the birds, no texting, no cell phones, actually her family didn’t have any phone,

but they did have a small wet battery radio which only broadcasted later in the evening. Every one gathered around it to listen to the news and some of the radio plays. Otherwise it was just a lot of hard work and a lot of good times spent with family and friends. The same was basically repeated at a centennial celebration I recently attended at Blaine Lake minus the special over 90 celebration. Blaine Lake senior center was also celebrating their grand re opening after a great deal of hard work in which the center was completely remodeled and rebuilt from the ground up. A tremendous example of seniors working with and for seniors with the community rallying around to help. Such a great job, the seniors and community of that town have a lot to be proud of. At another club I attended I was talking to another older person and she told me also that she did not attribute her good health to the good health care. She told me it was all to do with brown paper and vinegar which she said she used regularly on any and all of her complaints and it seemed to work just fine. However when she went away to refresh her coffee cup her neighbor told me how that worked. It was true that she had some vinegar and she had lots of brown paper but you had to realize where that brown paper came from . It all had the markings of the local liquor store on it. So I guess good health comes in different packages. Talking about good health reminds me that information of supplementary health benefits (optical, dental etc) can be obtained from either your own local doctor or

a phone call to the Ministry of Health. That information should also be available now at your own senior center along with other information. It is also on the seniors web site for those who have internet access. Seemingly there are still big differences between knowing and obtaining, for in most circumstances each and every senior has to be able to provide proof of need, which basically boils down to how much income you have. From a distance it could be seen that good health belongs to only those who can afford it, and for the rest of us it will depend on whether or not we qualify for assistance. It makes you think that by the time you have filled out all the forms that are required to prove that you can get whatever financial assistance is needed, you possibly may no longer need it for one reason or another. No matter what the dieticians tell us it requires a healthy income now a days to eat “healthy” and the costs continue to rise. Unfortunately for a large number of seniors their pensions do not seem to increase in the same proportions that the cost of living increases does. From all reports it appears that it is not going to get better in the future so once again seniors are going to go back to stretching a dollar. They have done it before and in the opinions of the Finance Minister and his pals they will have to do it again. I guess the more things change the more they stay the same. No matter what, we as seniors have to continue to stay active, smile a lot, have fun and try to stay healthy. - Len Fallows President SSAI.

Hunters who applied in the May 2012 draw to hunt moose but were not successful will be eligible for selection in the supplemental draw, based upon their original application and zone selection. Hunters drawn on August 28, 2012, will be notiﬁed by mail in early September. Hunters can check for results on the ministry website by August 30 at https:// secure.gov.sk.ca/biggame/ default.asp. Due to the late timing of this draw, anyone selected will be able to withdraw their application and still maintain their pool status for next year’s draw.

Second draw for moose hunting this fall To reduce the increased moose population in southern Saskatchewan, the Ministry of Environment will hold a second draw for moose hunting. An additional 350 licences will be allocated in an August 28, 2012 draw.

Quebec’s election promises cost all Canadians BY MARK MILKE SENIOR FELLOW THE FRASER INSTITUTE

Imagine you’re a German asked to pay for the lifestyle of a Greek through ever-more transfers to the European Union or through bailouts for Greek debt. Imagine you, as a German, know the average age for a German retiree is 62 while the average Greek is in his retirement villa at age 60. That knowledge explains why northern Europeans may not wish to indulge Greek lifestyles much longer. If such demands seem absurd in the case of Greeks and Germans, they are apparently seen as acceptable by politicians in Quebec. Quebec’s three political parties are falling over themselves to invent an even more lavish welfare state. Too bad for Quebec’s already heavily-taxed families. But it’s also too bad that Quebec political promises are partly paid for by other Canadians. Some samples of expensive promises: The Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) has promised more doctors. Meanwhile, Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois has promised that if her party is elected, she would scrap planned (and modest) tuition hikes. She also wants 15,000 more daycare spaces. The Quebec Liberal party under Premier Jean Charest says it will create a $1-billion fund so Quebec’s governments can make “strategic investments” in business (AKA, more corporate welfare). Also, Charest pledges to subsidize wages of Quebec workers older than age 55.

If past history is any guide, those and other promises (if implemented) will be paid for by taking more fur from the hide of Quebec’s taxpayers. (Charest’s government has increased sales taxes.) But the invoices for election promises will also be forwarded to taxpayers outside of Quebec. Some perspective: In Canada, taxpayers support governments in other provinces through federal transfer programs, including equalization, which is mentioned in the constitution. For the record, that equalization provision is weak and unenforceable according to constitutional experts such as Peter Hogg and others. Still, that has never stopped have-not provinces from demanding ever-more from the federal government. Calls have come for higher equalization payments (from havenots) and from all premiers for more cash from other federal transfer programs. From 2005/06 (as far back as publicly available Finance department data goes) up to the present year, Quebec has received $56.7 billion, or 54 per cent, of the$107.4 billion the federal government spent on equalization. Astonishingly, Quebec’s ﬁnance minister and even some journalists and policy analysts maintain that other Canadians are not subsidizing Quebec. They argue that because every Canadian pays federal taxes, including those in Quebec, no net subsidies exist. This is daft. When 10 people show up at a

poker table and throw money down, and six leave with the winnings, there has been a net transfer of wealth from four people to the other six. It’s the same with equalization. Six provinces now receive MARK equalization. That MILKE leaves taxpayers in four provinces - Brit~ ish Columbia, Alberta, Guest Saskatchewan and Columnist Newfoundland - as losers. They (or more precisely, their governments) walk away from the equalization game with less cash. Federal transfer payment programs are admittedly confusing. Here’s where it gets even more confusing: When all federal transfers beyond equalization are accounted for, Ontario’s taxpayers still inject more into the federal system than that province receives back. The Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Services notes that Ontario taxpayers account for 39 per cent of federal tax revenues but the federal government spends only 34 per cent of its revenues in that province. Some of that difference makes sense. A province with higher unemployment than Ontario is not likely to contribute as much,

proportionally, into federal coffers. But it begs this question: are promises made by Quebec’s political class defensible when they also cost other Canadians more money? Answer: Not likely. Let’s compare Quebec with the three main “have” provinces under the equalization formula and do so on two Quebec campaign promises: tuition rates and hiring more doctors. Also, let’s add Ontario for reasons just noted, (I’ll exclude Newfoundland for reasons of space.) Quebec’s undergraduate tuition rates were just $2,519 this past year. That was: 38 per cent of what an Ontario student paid ($6,640); 44 per cent of the cost to a student in Alberta ($5,662); 45 per cent of what a Saskatchewan student paid ($5,601); and 52 per cent of what a B.C. student shelled out ($4,852). On physician ratios, in 2010, British Columbia and Alberta had 213 and 211 general physicians respectively per 100,000 people; the numbers for Ontario and Saskatchewan were 189 and 169. Meanwhile, the Quebec ratio was 224 general physicians per 100,000 people. Canadians, especially in provinces where taxpayers are net contributors to federal coffers, should pay close attention to the Quebec election. After all, they’ll be paying for a chunk of any expensive promises eventually delivered to Quebec’s voters. Mark Milke is a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute.

Backup plan saves day for Shellbrook Street Fair A solid back up plan and the availability of Town owned facilities allowed the Shellbrook Street fair to be a success in its second year. With a forecast for nasty weather that just wouldn’t change, organizers formulated a new plan to ensure the event went ahead as scheduled. According to committee. Chair Noreen Bryson Mudry, the began making alternative arrangements Friday afternoon. Volunteers pitted in at the shellbrook receive Centre into the evening to prepare the venue for the next days events. The stage, which was to be built on Main Street was constructed on the rink ﬂoor and a set of stairs were built for better access to the ice level. “It was disappointing in a sense because of the weather but despite the weather it was quite successful,” said Bryson Mudry.

Despite the rain, just a few of the events originally scheduled for the day didn’t go off as planned. The bulk of the exhibits and attractions planned for Main Street were moved into the Rec Centre with the exception of the beach volleyball tournament, which went ahead with a full slate of eight teams between the Veterans Memorial Park and the Post Ofﬁce on 2nd Avenue East. Though she deems the event a success, she felt that having the dance indoors prevented minors and passersby from taking in the musical entertainment as it was an adults only event. The dance drew about 350 which exceeded expectation. Through the afternoon, the crowd got the chance to listen to Kerri English, Sweet Williams and Dizzy River before headliners Men Without Shame took the stage. The day also featured a pair of performances by Moose

Jaw’s Gold Dragon Wrestling company. Meanwhile the trade fair at the Shellbrook Community Hall was also a rousing success with 42 booths selling a variety of wares. She felt that there was largely A shellbrook crowd this time around while last year’s event drew a larger cross section of people from the region. The inclement weather kept farmers out of the ﬁelds which may have bolstered numbers through the day. “The community and the volunteers were awesome,” said Bryson Mudry. Cooperation between organizations was also a bright spot of the event as food vendors, who would have been separate had the event been held outdoors, operated all in the same venue.

The Honeywood (Dr. A.J. Porter) Heritage Nursery was once again recognized for growing excellence at a Saskatoon ceremony July 20 and 21. Honeywood’s “Red Velvet” lily captured the Fred V. Fellner Trophy for Grand Champion Lily Stem at the Canadian Prairie Lily Society annual Lily Show at Lawson Heights Mall. Despite July being a busy time around the nursery, manager Judy Harley said they always make an effort enter a display in the show. This year, the nursery put together three entries and each of the three received a red ribbon in the show.

Though this was a big achievement, Harley said they have received at least one bigger accolade. In 2010, Honeywood received the A.J. Porter Award for best registered Canadian hybrid lily for a fantastic stem of “Flaming Giant “ -- one of Bert Porter’s most famous lilies. “Although we are known as a Lily nursery and do have a huge selection of lilies it is nice to see that our lilies can compete with the best of them,” said Harley.

Roughrider’s free fall not yet a crisis

ROD

PEDERSEN ~

Voice of The Riders The definition of the "precipice": The brink of a dangerous or disastrous situation. The definition of a "crisis": A time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger. Given the choice of the two, I'd

say the Saskatchewan Roughriders are on the precipice, rather than in a crisis. Anyone who's truly been through a crisis knows the state of the 2012 Saskatchewan Roughriders hardly qualiﬁes as that. What are we talking about? Well the Roughriders - who have quickly gone from Canada's Team to Saskatchewan's Team - are in the throes of a ﬁve-game losing streak which, to my knowledge, is the longest for the football club since 2005. That pre-dates all but one of the current players on the roster. Their most recent loss, 17-10 to visiting Calgary on Saturday, was just another example of missed opportunities. Is the season slipping away? No I don't think so but the Green &

White has to win six of its last 10 games just to go 9-9 and even that record wouldn't guarantee a playoff spot. First, the bad news. The Rider players seem at a loss for answers as they spoke after Saturday's game. "They got us in the middle (of the defence) and we couldn't get it sorted out at the time," snorted Rider defensive end Brent Hawkins. "It's not just up to us. It's up to the coaches too to see what's going on. We did the best that we could. Things just fell the way that they did." Linebacker Mike McCullough, the only player who knows what it's like to lose ﬁve-in-a-row in Saskatchewan, seemed the most befuddled after the match. "He (Stamps running back Jon

Cornish) found the hole at the right time," McCullough huffed live on CKRM. "There's nothing we can do about it. Actually there's something we can do but we just didn't do it. "It's just frustration. That's the biggest word for it right now. We don't know what's going on. We got the talent. We just aren't making the plays we need to make." You've got to give Mike a pass on that one. His head was likely swimming as he was interviewed seconds after the ﬁnal gun, right there on the ﬁeld. And now, are you ready for it?? The good news!! The 2-6 Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in town this Sunday for Labour Day Classic XLVI and that's a game the Riders never lose. Actually, they're 29-16 all-time against Winnipeg on this weekend and carry

a seven-game win streak into the match. The Bombers haven't won in Regina since 2004 when they came away with a 17-4 upset. It's a slam dunk! This is all tongue in cheek of course. The 7-1 Blue Bombers overlooked the Riders last year and were swept by scores of 27-7 and 45-23 in the L.D.C. and Banjo Bowl so it wouldn't be prudent for Saskatchewan to overlook their prairie foes now that the shoe is on the other foot. In fact the Riders aren't exactly ridin' high themselves right now. We said after the bye week in early August we'd soon ﬁnd out who the real Riders are. So far, we're not liking what we're seeing. (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)

Another hockey star from Cole Harbour on the rise There must be something in the water in Cole Harbour, N.S., because two of the greatest young hockey players in Canada in the last 10 years have skated on ice made from that Cole Harbour H2O —a situation that defies logic. Cole Harbour is a community of 25,000 — a small city by anyone’s definition — yet Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon are home-grown products of the city near Halifax. OK, you’ve heard of Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar who, some claim, is the world’s best player. You may not have heard of MacKinnon, but if you’re a hockey fan of any stripe, you will. MacKinnon will be a 17-year-old playing for Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League this winter. A ‘young 17, too, because his birthday is Sept. 1. Right now, the fast-skating forward is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft next June, making him the second Cole Harbour native to be the top pick in a span of just nine years. Critics say MacKinnon might not be the next Crosby, but he’s a superstar-inwaiting nonetheless. Sixteen-year-old players rarely lead their majorjunior teams in scoring, but MacKinnon’s 78 points

topped the Halifax list last year. And he really made an international splash this summer when he led Canada to a gold medal in the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. MacKinnon’s five goals and six assists led all players in what scouts regard as the second-most important tournament (next to the World Junior) for prospecting. In the championship game, MacKinnon scored three goals in Canada’s 4-0 victory over Finland. "I've never experienced anything like this before, but it's a great way to start the season," MacKinnon told TSN.ca Sometime in December, when Hockey Canada officials will gather to choose Canada’s players for the World Junior in Ufa, Russia, MacKinnon’s name will probably be front and centre. Chances are he will be the only 17-year-old on the squad, which could be bolstered by a number of 20-year-olds if the NHL labour strife is still in full force. Meanwhile, Cole Harbour city fathers should perhaps get an early start on changing their city’s welcome sign. Space will soon have to be found on the “Home of Sidney Crosby” sign for the name of another young hockey superstar. • Steve Rushin on Twitter, after Augusta National

OBITUARIES ~

NYBERG – Marion, passed away on August 22, 2012. Mom was the eldest daughter born to Lewis and Evelyn Yockey on April 7, 1932. She grew up in the Lily Plain area. She married Martin Nyberg on Nov 8, 1952 and they made their home in the district of Deer Ridge. They resided on the original Nyberg homestead and raised five children. Mom was a stay at home mother who worked very hard taking care or her family. She loved to cook and you were always guaranteed a good home cooked meal with every visit. She took great pride in her flowers and enormous vegetable garden. She gave away the extras to anyone who needed them. She loved to visit with family and friends. Mom enjoyed the company of her dog Teddy and talked to him often. Mom’s eyes lost a bit of their sparkle with each of the losses in her life with the passing of her husband in 1999 and then the loss of her son, Walter and son-in-law (who was like a son to her) Albert Stevenson, both in 2008. A lot of that sparkle returned with the birth of her first great grandchild, Cali. When Cali came to visit at the home she always put on a special show for great grandma and Mom never took her eyes off Cali for most of the visit. Thanks to Mom’s youngest son, Karl, who moved back to the homestead and did major renovations she was able to remain in her home until June 2012. At that time, due to her failing health she moved to the Parkland Terrace Nursing Home in Shellbrook. She was settling in her new home and met some new friends. She was well-liked by the staff and her passing was sudden and a shock to us all. Mom will be greatly missed by all whose hearts she touched. She leaves to mourn her daughters, Mariana Chapman (Rodney) and Peggy Stevenson (Clarence); sons, Karl Nyberg (Shirley) and Edward Nyberg; former daughter-in-law, Pam Kneeshaw; grandchildren, Ashley Nyberg, Christopher and Juliana Chapman, Michael Stevenson (Jennifer), Kevin Stevenson (Noura), Jamie and Brandon Nyberg; great granddaughter, Cali Nia Stevenson; sisters, Helen Kuhn (Joe), Lillian Halliday (Albert), Lula Hendrickson (Doug); and brother, Gerald Arthur Yockey (Linda). She was predeceased by her husband, Martin Nyberg; son, Walter Nyberg; son-in-law, Albert Stevenson; and parents, Lewis and Evelyn Yockey. A Memorial Service for Marion will be held at the Deer Ridge Hall on Friday, September 14, 2012 at 2:00 PM. Memorial donations may be made to Parkland Terrace Care Home in Shellbrook. Email condolences may be sent to hfh@inet2000.com. Arrangements entrusted to Hawryluk Funeral Home.

PRAISE & WORSHIP ~

Fred Kiedrowski

Regular services, Sunday school and special events will be listed at no charge.

Fred Kiedrowski 1942 - 2012 With great sorrow we say goodbye to Fred Frank Kiedrowski. Fred was born in Prince Albert on November 27th, 1942. He and his twin sister Marlene grew up on their family farm in Foxdale, Saskatchewan, causing fun trouble in various ways that kids can only do on the farm. When in his teens, Fred briefly moved to Prince Albert. The taste of city life inspired him to move on to Prince George, British Columbia, where he enjoyed various jobs and pastimes ranging from stock car driving to fishing and hunting. In 1972, while obtaining his pilot’s license, Fred married Carla Katz, and they had two children, Laurie and Jonas. They spent four adventurous years in British Columbia until it was time to settle back in the Shellbrook and Prince Albert area to raise the family. Working in Northern Saskatchewan, Fred built his career as a highly skilled driller and blaster at Rabbit and Key Lake Mines. But work was not everything. His rotating schedule allowed him ample time to do what he loved most – exploring the great outdoors. Whether it be camping, hunting, or fishing, Fred did it with skill, humour, and passion. An early retirement in his forties due to health reasons afforded him additional time to enjoy those activities more casually, more often than not with “Ladydog” at his heels. During those years Fred also honed his passion for woodworking, developed an adept talent for nature photography, and loved to pass the time playing cards. He even made the pages of the Chronicle twice for a “29” hand in Cribbage. Fred’s life was unexpectedly cut short in a motor vehicle accident on the evening of August 21, 2012. Fred is predeceased by his father, Vincent Kiedrowski, and lovingly remembered and missed by his mother, Anna Kiedrowski, his sister, Marlene (Larry) Chalifour, his children, Laurie (Neil Hutton) and Jonas (Adam Blum), his nephew Russell Walters, and his former wife, Carla. A private family interment was held on August 24, 2012. Memorial donations may be made in memory of Fred to either the Shellbrook & Districts Health Services Project (Box 96 Shellbrook, SK SOJ 2EO) or to the Prince Albert SPCA (Box 1832 Prince Albert, SK S6V 6J9). Emailed condolences sent to www.beaulacfuneralhome. com will be forwarded to the family. Entrusted to the care of Beau “Lac” Funeral Home.

Thomas Duncan Thomas “Wesley” Duncan. Wes was born on February 24, 1954 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to Tom and Jean (Bourassa) Duncan. He was the only child, attended school in Leask, and an avid reader all through his life. His ﬁrst job was working in camps with his mother in southern and then northern Saskatchewan. He worked on a repair crew for elevators in Saskatchewan and did cribbing in Calgary. He returned to Leask and started construction, Wes began working for his very good friend Robert, who owns Roger’s Construction. He continued working there until his passing. His knowledge and dependability will be greatly missed by them. Wes was a father to Stacey and Jody and a grandfather to their children. He loved children and always had the time and a treat for them. He enjoyed watching all sports, was a strong Montreal Canadians and a Saskatchewan Roughrider fan from birth. He proclaimed himself “King” of the Metis, which always brought a laugh and a story when he spoke about this. Wesley had a great sense of humor and quick wit, and never spoke badly about anyone. He was quiet and kept to himself but would help anyone

that was in need. Wes never apologized for who he was nor did he try to be someone he wasn’t. He was a friend to all and everyone who knew him could tell you a great Wesley story. He passed away on August 2, 2012 in Leask. He will be greatly missed and there is a very big void in many people’s lives. It was a honor to know and be a part of Wesley’s life.

OBITUARY ~ Robert Peake Robert “Bob” Peake Bob passed away peacefully the afternoon of Thursday, August 23, 2012 at St. Paul’s Hospital Palliative Care Unit at the age of 83. Bob had lived independently at St. Volodymyr Terrace right up to 2 days before his passing, which is how he would have wanted it. He leaves to mourn his three daughters, Kathy (Richard) Robin of Leask, SK, Laura (Alvin) Boyer of Grand Forks, BC, and Janice (Darryl) Reynolds of Nokomis, SK; six grandchildren, Nadine, Derek, Nathan, Megan, Sydney, and Amber; 4 great grandchildren; and his sister, Dorothy Peake of Saskatoon. Bob was predeceased by his wife, Frieda and eight of his brothers and sisters. Bob was born at the family home in Evergreen School District, Leask, SK, the ninth of ten children. Having only ever wanted to be a farmer, he made his home and life on the Peake homestead yard after marrying his wife Frieda in 1957. He was very proud of the fact that he was a successful farmer. Bob enjoyed being a Lions Club member for 22 years, where he was able to help spearhead projects for the Leask community, and he attended many Lions conventions, meeting and making friends from all walks of life. He also served on the School and Wheat Boards. Bob and Frieda loved to travel, visiting relatives in Europe ﬁve times, touring Australia with friends, and spending winters in Arizona and California. Bob was challenged by numerous health problems throughout his life, but faced them without fuss to live a normal life and raise three daughters. He was very happy to be able to see his grandchildren and great grandchildren grow and thrive. Bob retired to Leask in 1981 and moved to Saskatoon after Frieda passed in 1994. He found a home at St. Volodymyr Villa and Terrace where he enjoyed playing cards in the evening and riding his scooter to Market Mall for coffee row with the men. The funeral service was held on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at the Leask Lions Hall, Leask, SK.

Shellbrook Chronicle

From the desk of the Rec Director BY: CASSIE BENDIG

So the Street Fair was a success! Weather did not quite co-operate but moving everything into the rink saved the night. A great big thank-you to the Shellbrook Street Fair Committee for putting in so much time and effort to this amazing event happen. To think that this event could get larger is a scary idea… but we will see what happens next year. The pool is now closed and the Playground Program has wrapped up for the year. We had very successful seasons in all recreation departments. Thank you to those who support what the town has to offer so we can keep these things open and available to our community members. School is starting! September 4th, the rugrats go back to school; this also means the Before and After School Program is running. If you have not registered either you can get a hold of me at my ofﬁce, or you may stop in at the program and get your child registered. There are not many spots left, so if

GOOD NEWS ~ PASTOR JOHN SLEMMING SEASONS OF LIFE

My father will be 91 years old this December 26. He has always been an adventuresome, energetic, positive, robust person never seeming to “act his age” until the past year or so. Until then, most would have guessed him to be a good 15-20 years younger than his actual age. Recently, however, it seems his age is trying to catch up on him all at once, thus I have been doing “hospital visitation” a little more often than I would prefer. As I have sat with him, talked with him, touched him and been touched by him and listened to him, I have realized that if things don’t soon change for him, life for me, my siblings, my mom, my dad, our family will be transitioning into a very different season than we have ever known before. According to Ecclesiastes 3:1 “For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven.” I must admit that when the length of time you have left to spend with a loved one on this side of eternity becomes uncertain, you tend to have a new awareness and appreciation for the person you are in relationship with. Every moment, every word, every touch is cherished perhaps more than ever before. Thankfully for myself, I have had a very good relationship with my Dad all my life and have a lot of good memories to reﬂect on during this season of my life. I believe this is a blessing from God. I have a peace during this season knowing that whatever happens in the next little while all will be okay in the whole situation. And, rather than wonder “how long” I have to enjoy relationship with my Dad, I will choose to put all I can into that relationship and receive all I can out of that relationship while the opportunity presents itself. In fact, I think the lesson being learned here is to do this in all my relationships, whether my time in that relationship seems to be uncertain or not. According to the Bible, relationships are the only things in his life that carry on into eternity.. Our stuff, ie. money, material possessions, do not. Yet it seems we often put more time and attention into accumulating stuff that into many, if not all of our relationships. Further, if anyone messes around with our stuff, we tend to get more upset than if someone or something is messing around with our relationships. I encourage you today, no matter which season of life you may ﬁnd yourself in right now, join me in learning the lessons to put/give all you can into the relationships of your life as well as receiving all you can out of the relationships that God has given you to enjoy and learn from in your life right now. Have a great day and may God Bless you and your relationships a lot.

Shady and dry – a troublesome combination in the garden -BY ERL SVENDSEN-

Shade is one thing, but when combined with dry conditions, it can be a challenge for even the most experienced gardener. It can be a literal wasteland where not even weeds will grow. But it need not be a dark, dusty and empty space. There are techniques that will reduce the impacts of drought as wells as perennials available that will tolerate both conditions. Dry shade is usually encountered under thick impenetrable tree canopies such as Colorado blue spruce, under roof and porch overhangs, or on the east and north sides of buildings (most of our summer rains come from the west or south). One of the ﬁrst things to do is to improve the moisture holding capacity of the soil by amending it with organic matter like compost, peat moss or well-rotted manure. What little moisture that falls there naturally will be held in the ground longer. In areas under trees, you may not be able to add a lot of organic matter to the soil because of dense shallow root systems. In this case, when planting, make a hole between large surface roots and add organic matter to the planting hole. Irrigation is an obvious strategy and there are several options. If you have

underground sprinklers, you can redirect some of the heads to reach the dry shady areas. You can also add an extra zone that only waters this area. Use a combination of micro-sprinklers/ sprayers, bubblers, drip and weeping hose to suit your needs. If you don’t have a sprinkler system, consider just using a weeping hose attached to your water tap and weave it in and around your plants in the bed. The third strategy is to add a layer of organic mulch (3 – 4 inches deep) to trap moisture in the soil, preventing it from simply evaporating, and to keep the root systems cool in the summer and protected in winter. Mulch will also hide much of your irrigation system. Keep the mulch away from direct contact with tree trunks. Too much moisture may cause tree bark to root, leading to poor vigour and even death of your trees. Combine all three practices for best results. The following herbaceous perennials will survive dry shade, but will generally perform better when provided with additional moisture. Barren strawberry (Waldsteinia fragarioides): low (6”), spreading ground cover with yellow ﬂowers in early spring. While the plant and growth habit resembles a strawberry, no edible fruit is produced, hence the com-

mon name, barren strawberry. Barrenwort or bishop’s hat (Epimedium rubrum): low (8 – 10”) clump- or carpet forming with bronzy-green, heart-shaped leaves ringed by red in spring; loose, dainty pink or white flower clusters appear in late spring overtopping the leaves. Some winter protection may be necessary. Lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria majalis): fragrant spring flowering plant that gardeners either hate (because it spreads) or love (because it survives the toughest conditions). Reaches 6 inches tall, each stem with 1 or 2 light green leaves; flowers are small white bells arranged along spike (raceme). Can form large colonies. Bigroot cranesbill geranium (Geranium macrorrhizum): this one grows seemingly anywhere: sun, shade, dry, moist. Clump-forming perennial with deep green leaves; reaches 12 – 18 inches (depending on cultivar); lose clusters of red or pink in mid- to late summer. Deer tolerant. Coral bells (Heuchera sp.): clump forming perennial, 6 – 8” tall overtopped by red, pink or white flower clusters (some showier than others, depending on cultivar) for an additional 6”. Leaves are typically medium to dark green, but recent introductions have added dark pur-

Canada regulates pesticides Before a pesticide can be registered in Canada it must go through a series of tests. These tests not only ensure the pesticides works, they also make sure the product will not affect species that are not the intended target. In addition, each pesticide must go through other health and environment tests to make sure it can be safely used. Once these tests are completed, there are usually thousands of pages of data that must be submitted for review to Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), where there are over 300 scientists hired to evaluate pesticides. They complete a thorough scientiﬁc review and safety assessment of the data submitted. “The process to have a pesticide registered in Canada can take an average of nearly 10 years and costs over $256 million. That’s a big investment so the manufacturers ensure

the products they submit for registration are safe and work the way they are intended to,” says Lorne Hepworth, president of CropLife Canada, the organization that represents developers, manufacturers and distributors of pesticides. After its review, the PMRA only registers products that meet its strict

standards, Hepworth points out. But the process doesn’t end when the product reaches the shelf. The PMRA also keeps track of any research on the products from international organizations and each product must be re-evaluated at least every 15 years to ensure the products continue to be safe for use.
