Hospital project on target for spring completion The new Shellbrook and Districts Integrated Health Complex could be finished construction as early as spring of 2013 according to Graham Construction project manager Blair Bergen. Construction on the $25 million, 66,000 square foot facility set to replace the Shellbrook Hospital and Parkland Terrace nursing home began in the summer of 2011 and is scheduled to be complete before next summer. Bergen said that the company is looking to complete construction by March 2013 followed by about a month of conditioning work, which includes tests of all of the systems in the facility before handing over the keys. The new facility includes 20 acute care beds, 34 long term care beds spread through three wings, an emergency department complete with drive through ambulance bay and will bring together a whole host of community health services and therapies. According to Shellbrook Hospital Director of Care Patricia Couture, efficiency is a key word in describing the design and function of the new facility. This has as much to do with the people working in the existing facilities as it does with the architects who have designed the new building. “Every staff (member)from every area had special input into their area (in the facility),” said Couture. A lot of the design came down to work done in the hospital using the Releasing Time to Care model. The program helps health care providers improve processes in their work environment so they can spend more time focusing on patient care instead of paperwork or searching

for supplies. Shellbrook Hospital was one of the few rural sites chosen to pilot the program in 2009. Now its principals are a part of nearly everything that is done within the hospital. “It not only put peoples thoughts in what they felt would work well but it also put some measurement onto what we know will work well,” said Couture. Through their work in the program, they were able to trace a footprint of how they did business in the current hospital and measured the footprints of where staff were walking the most and applied it to the design. An IT specialist was employed to design a program to integrate the steps taken everyday in the existing hospital and integrate them into the new hospital with the desired outcome of decreasing
wasted steps. “We could look at where the efficiencies would be gained and lost in the new site and tweeked (things) if (efficiencies) were lost, so they could become better,” said Couture. She says that even though the footprint of the building and its various wings is much larger than the old sites, the efficiencies of the new facility will make work much better for staff. The layout and design of the facility is very deliberate. Every room, closet and common area has a purpose and a rational behind its location. For example, the emergency department, which is at the front end of the current acute care department in the Shellbrook Hospital, will be separated from the acute care and long term care wings as a infection control measure.
“It can be shut down in a pandemic situation so that area doesn’t impact anything is happening in the houses or our acute care site,” said Couture. The design for the long term care facility was based on a house model for maximum efficiency and comfort of the residents. Once functional, it will also incorporate principals for the Eden Alternative, which is already in place in the existing Parkland Terrace. Eden features a set of principals to be followed by administrators and caregivers to improve the lives of long term care residents. Each of the three long term care wings have been designed with their own family access and their own court yards to make them as homey as possible for the residents and their families.

Each of the wings will have their own kitchen areas along side a living room/common area to make everyone feel at home. According to John Piggott, VP of Operations for the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region, once the facility is operational, some real decisions will have to be made on the old facilities. He said that Parkland Terrace will likely be sold or demolished once residents have been moved out. This will be dependant on if there is any appetite to purchase the facility. The mortgage for the facility, which has $400,000 owing on it, was arranged through CMHC and Piggot says that the health region would require their blessing for whatever they decide to do. “That’s something that we are going to be working on this fall,” said Piggott. The new facility will also bring most of the community’s health services under one roof from

Public Health to a variety of therapies that patients often had to leave town to receive. While the Shellbrook Hospital supports a large rural area to the north and west, it also provides support for Prince Albert said Couture. “We’ve recognized through outbreaks and pandemics that there’s a better way to do business and our facilities just didn’t allow us to do that and now this one will,” said Couture. Having a new facility
with space for all types of medical professionals to
practice will also help in recruitment and retention
efforts across the board. “If we have a space that allows them to function at their optimal we’ll be able to recruit and retain some of those professionals that then service the other areas,” said Couture. With a limited number of professionals and a growing number of vacancies, having this space available in a new building may give Shellbrook an edge. There will likely be about 86 full time equivalent, or upwards of 150 people, moving over to the new facility when it opens next year which could grow further if the facility is taken to full
capacity. Fund raising for the project began in 1999 with local volunteers hosting events and taking donations in anticipation of project approval from the Ministry of Health. The funding announcement came in 2009 for a $25 million project with the local share amounting to 35 per cent. The local commitment was later reduced to 20 per cent when the provincial government changed up the funding formula for health capital projects. The local share is being covered by a combination of fund raising, donations and municipal levies.

That was one nice birthday present for Carter Chamblin While the infant son of Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin was celebrating his one year birthday back home in Regina, his father was getting splashed with a Gatorade shower in Hamilton after winning his CFL coaching debut against the Tiger-Cats. Actually it was just before he won his coaching debut, which is worth pointing out. Rider running back Brandon West and a few of his teammates doused Chamblin with the cooler while 54 seconds still remained in the Riders’ season-opening 43-16 blowout over the Ticats Friday night. Chamblin
smiled, but was seen pointing at the scoreclock while swatting ice cubes off his shirt in the sweltering southern Ontario heat. “I told them ‘Let’s finish’!” Chamblin revealed after the game which gives you some idea of his style. The game is to be played full-out for 60 minutes, no shortcuts. And let’s be honest. There isn’t a soul out there who believed the Roughriders would go into Ivor Wynne Stadium and thoroughly dominate the Ticats like they did last week. Not even Chamblin who was confident in his troops going in but admitted “I thought it would he
Rider Insider With the Voice of The Riders, Rod Pedersen close going into the fourth quarter.” It wasn’t. The Riders opened a 7-0 lead ten minutes into the game on the first of three Weston Dressler touchdown passes from Darian Durant and they never relinquished the lead the rest of the game. They led 7-3, 16-13 and 33-16 by quarter on the way to a nearly four touchdown blowout win. And here’s where you get some “Rider Insider” stuff. Perhaps the biggest turning point in the game came midway through the second quarter with the
Riders leading by a point. Durant hooked up with a 52-yard pass to Dressler which replays clearly showed wasn’t a completion. But the Rider offense raced down the field with quarterbacks coach Khari Jones screaming in the headset “Get on the ball! Get on the ball!”. They got the next play off before the Ticats could challenge even though Hamilton coach George Cortez had his hand on the yellow hanky. Then one play after that, Durant threw a 29yard touchdown to Chris Getzlaf.

What does this mean? It means this Chamblin coaching staff is ‘with it’, it’s sharp, and along with the players, they’re all singing from the same hymn book, to coin a phrase. We’ve discussed the many similarities between Chamblin and Rider legend Kent Austin but as
each day goes by, it becomes spooky who their methods parallel each other. Each has taken criticism for their “my way or the highway approach” but their results speak for themselves. But as for last Friday evening in Hamilton, it was a pretty good night for the Chamblin boys.

Transparency needed in SLGA processes Last month a report from Provincial Auditor Bonnie Lysyk told Sask Liquor and Gaming that it needed to better explain its pricing policy to customers while also ensuring that they are negotiating the best price they can from suppliers. The audit of the SLGAs liquor purchasing practices resulted in seven recommendations. Topping the list was to make its processes public and to provide liquor customers with a breakdown of liquor prices including cost, taxes and markup. The report noted the SLGAs fixed mark up range from 40 per cent to 184 per cent with most spirits carrying an average of 162 per cent. The report shows that SLGA research shows that its pricing lines up with other jurisdictions. The reality is that the SLGA doesn’t need or want to sell products at a lower price than they do today. Higher priced booze makes it less affordable to abuse, which aids in an overall harm reduction strategy but it also pads the government entity’s bottom line. In a news release, Lysyk said ”Lower costs actually reduce SLGA’s profits, which result in less money provided to the government to be used for programs.” The biggest reason for that is the tax on top of the markup in the form of liquor consumption tax and resale levies. The SLGA determines their profit margins and sets their prices and then tacks on an additional 10 per cent in taxes on every drop sold. The tax increases when dealing with resale levy, which is charged on all beer and liquor sold on a special event permit, like Leask’s Centennial dance last weekend. A flat 10 per cent is charged on all beer products but the rate increases for both liquor (18%) and coolers (14%). In addition to profiting from all sales of beverage alcohol in the province, they also control the supply chain of liquor, coolers and some specialty beer products to retailers in the province. This isn’t completely different from supply in provinces that have private liquor stores as the provinces still regulate sales, the SLGA just completes this function through their retail stores. So through regulations, the government profits mightily from its retail stores, its sales to bars and pubs across the province and also earns a cool 10 per cent on every drop of alcohol sold in the province. Its a pretty good deal if you can get it. As a self professed bar brat --basically being around my parents establishment since my early childhood – I have a pretty solid understanding of how the in industry works. I am not opposed to how the SLGA operates, as the profits and taxes collected go back into the operation of our province, but like the provincial auditor, I think that a little more clarity and transparency into how they operate is in order.
The Paul Martin Commentary Growth in retail sales numbers in Saskatchewan continue to outpace inflation as consumers demonstrate a high degree of confidence in the market by opening their wallets. The monthly figures on sales volumes at local shops continue to impress. They were up threequarters of a percentage point in April which translates into a seven per cent gain for the year. April was the third consecutive month of increases and so far 2012 is an extension of the growth pattern that began back in 2010, right after the market crash of 2009. What we’re seeing here is a reflection of general attitudes among average citizens towards the state of the economy. People who spend money rather than sit on it are exhibiting a degree of confidence that tomorrow will be a better day. To put it another way, this is one of the prime measures of consumer confidence. It is also one more indicator that global demand for commodities such as potash, grain and oil is putting money into the hands of individuals who are the benefactors of the trickle-down effect. *** We’ve been watching the Canadian dollar do an about face in the past month or two as it has fallen from parity with the US currency to the 97-cent range but the slide may not be over. That’s the view of economist Peter Anderson. A Canadian now living the US Anderson provides a monthly update on the Canadian and global economies for businesses in this country. His latest report says the Canadian dollar is over-valued and may well fall another five or six cents. He points to Canada’s productivity shortfalls.
Paul Martin
This country has simply not kept pace with productivity gains in the US which is now showing signs of rebounding from the economic meltdown of 2009. In fact he says Canada may well have trouble keeping up with the anemic growth rate in the US as Ontario pulls down our national performance. As he puts it, Canada’s public sector is now deeper in debt than its American counterpart on a relative basis meaning there will be no stimulus from public sector spending in the foreseeable future. *** As the chase for a new stadium in Regina draws closer to the finish line, one thought that keeps recurring goes something like this: what would Walter Scott`s stadium would look like. Saskatchewan`s first premier, a man with a vision for a province with millions of residents, was one for thinking big. The Legislative Buildings are just one example. Today we are in the midst of planning the next legacy project – a replacement for Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field. Now that the province has explained its position – it will provide a one-third share of the capital cost plus allow access to its borrowing capacity for additional financing – this long-awaited project is much, much closer to becoming a reality. And it is especially interesting to note that the Wall administration – exhibiting some Walter Scott thinking – is demanding that the new facility be `roof ready` for the day when we can afford it. Given that the existing stadium was built in the 1930s – in the height of the Depression – this is the very least we could expect at a time when Saskatchewan`s economy has never performed more effectively.

Viewpoint Alta MP speaks well for rural Sask. The biggest problem in politics is how quickly those we elect forget where they came from and whom they were elected to represent. But maybe one of the problems is that we don’t give enough credit to those that do remember. In that vein, Saskatchewan’s Conservative MPs could certainly learn a lesson from their Alberta caucus colleague MP Brent Rathgeber. Rathgeber’s name is likely unfamiliar to most of you, but the backbench Conservative MP for Edmonton-St. Albert is actually a Saskatchewan boy who hails from the Melville area and received his law degree from the University of Saskatchewan. And in a recent posting on his website entitled “Of Orange Juice and Limos” Rathgeber made it clear he hasn’t forgotten his Saskatchewan roots. “Last month, I returned to Grenfell, Saskatchewan for a family funeral,” Rathgeber stated in his June 26 post. “The event was, of course, tragically sad. However, returning to small town Saskatchewan is always an eye opening experience... “There is a certain amount of common sense amongst prairie folk, an instinctive wisdom and moral compass that is frequently absent in the hustling city of Ed-
monton and in the Ottawa Bubble.” The Edmonton-St. Albert MP said in the posting that he really had no explanation for the hometown folks that could justify the recent story of a $600,000 overtime bill limousine drivers racked up in 2011 while waiting for cabinet ministers. “The $600,000 in limousine driver overtime did not play well with the small prairie town sensibilities,” Rathgeber wrote. Also of concern to the Grenfell residents, Rathgeber wrote, was the “well publicized reports of the misadventures of CIDA Minister Bev Oda, who on a Business Trip to London, charged taxpayer for $16 orange juice, $1000 a day limousine service and an upgrade to a hotel that allowed smoking.” The Albert MP said he had no problem “with Ministers being chauffeured to events around the Nation’s Capital” for reasons of security. “But he said there is little justification for ministers being driven around the Parliamentary Precincts, especially when the House of Commons
also operates a continuous Shuttle Bus Service for MPs and all Parliamentary Staff,” he wrote. Rathgeber added that “the worst waste of taxpayer money” involved the 6,548 hours of standby service limo drivers. “Surely, as government preaches fiscal discipline such extravagance must be eliminated,” he said. “Surely, having limo drivers on standby is a waste of t db for f hours h taxpayer dollars. Surely, there are taxis available in Ottawa.” He concluded that most of the people in Grenfell “have never ridden in a limo” and “none of them have ever drunk $16 orange juice”. “Surely, they would appreciate if government took more care in spending their money,” he said. The sad reality is that the best one can expect from Rathgeber is continued obscurity on the Conservative backbenches. Such honesty will not unseat from cabinet the likes of Alberta colleague Jason Ken-
ney, whose nasty recent description of the Alberta deputy premier seems to fit the style of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet ministers. But Rathgeber makes an excellent point about a Conservative government preaching fiscal discipline while practicing extravagance. Remember Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz’s explanation for things like closing community pastures and the tree farm at Indian Head? “Canadians gave us a mandate to get back to balanced budgets continue to focus on jobs and the economy,” said Ritz, who rang up $270,000 on travel last year _ the highest bill of anyone in cabinet. Saskatchewan Conservative MPs like Ritz were first elected as Reformers, promising to clean up the mess left behind those Liberals who claimed to be “entitled to their entitlements.” But are any of our Saskatchewan Conservative MPs _ all of whom represent common sense, small town folk like the people of Grenfell _ saying anything about these outrageous federal spending decisions? Sadly, too many of our own Saskatchewan MPs have forgotten the small towns from where they have come.
Letters to the Editor Educating ourselves about Democracy Sir, Following my letter to you published recently re the Legion being requested to remove their display from the Museum I have had dozens of mails and calls from local citizens. The general tone of those talks disturbs me greatly. So many local people express distress about the way things are done locally and the financial operations of the town, and there’s quite a general malaise about local politics. The conversations invariably included a sad warning and comment - something like “There’s a group of people that control everything and always have, and if you upset them look out”. This was always followed by examples of intimidation for anyone who upsets “THEM” I find this quite disturbing from Sasaktchewan folks. In my mind the province has always been a leader in democratic ideals and to find friends and neighbours saying they feel helpless to change things is most upsetting and surprising. I have taught in schools and Universities over the past 40 years and always held up Saskatchewan and Alberta as the driving force of grass roots democracy
in Canada. There are numerous publications about citizens responsibilities and rights in these matters. The provincial government has a list of publications all free and downloadable from their website. We all need to get more involved and active locally instead of just moaning about the situation behind closed door in fear. Everyone is struggling to make a living and support family and time must be allocated wisely. Parents are right to make their families their primary priority but kids also need to learn that we are a democracy and we all have a public duty to protect that prized asset. Too many neighbours and family died to protect those ideals to allow them to be lost by our negligence.

Fungicides: to spray or not to spray?
by Sherrilyn Phelps, PAg. Regional Crops Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Crops are advancing rapidly and producers are thinking about diseases and whether the risks are high enough to warrant control measures. In order to evaluate the risks we need to consider three things: presence of the pathogen, susceptibility of the host, and environment. The first of course is the disease itself. The pathogen needs to be present for infection to occur. Most diseases overwinter on infected residue. Fields where rotations have been shortened or fields near where infections occurred last year are at higher risk. However, inoculum can spread by air, so surrounding fields can be the source of inoculum as well. We know there has been more disease present in the last two years so the risk of the pathogen being present is high. The second factor to consider is the susceptibility of the host or a plant for the disease to infect.
Resistant varieties do reduce the risk associated with disease infection but do not completely eliminate it. Some varieties are more susceptible to certain diseases so knowing what the ratings are for your variety can help you make decisions on disease monitoring and control. Other crop factors that can increase the risk of disease include heavy canopy, nutrient deficiencies or added stress. Anytime a crop is under stress, such as a shortage of nutrients, excess water, or damaged by insects or hail, the disease susceptibility can increase. The third factor required for disease to be a concern is a suitable environment. Fungi thrive in warm, humid environments and rain can physically disperse the spores of some pathogens. Therefore, moisture remains an important factor for the infection and spread of disease. The right environmental conditions will determine the severity of the disease and how quickly it will spread. Current conditions of good
moisture, high humidity, and rain in the forecast, puts us in a higher risk situation. Combine weather with heavy crop canopy, and disease can spread quickly. Knowing the risk for disease is important and the next step is watching for the appropriate crop staging for fungicide application to minimize the impacts on yield and quality. With canola starting to bolt and a few flowers in some fields, now is the time to think about the risk of sclerotinia. Fungicide applications should be made when it is at its most yellow and before the petals start to drop. In other words, the optimum time to spray is the day when the maximum numbers of flowers are open. This occurs around the 30% bloom stage. Canola can move quickly from first bloom to 30% bloom so watch your fields carefully and plan accordingly. With pulses there are a number of diseases to watch for and the timing for fungicide application is at early flowering or as
the disease moves upward on the plant. Ascochyta and mycosphaerella blight are something to watch closely. If the brown spots, which start at the bottom of the plant, continue to develop and move upwards past the bottom third of the plant then fungicide application is likely economical. There is a lot of research being done in the area of timing of application of fungicides and results are showing that for the biggest benefit with cereals it is very important to protect the last two leaves from leaf diseases. The last leaf is called the flag leaf and the second last is called the penultimate leaf. Fungicide applications for leaf spotting diseases should occur at flag leaf. Most cereals are entering the stem elon-
12071MF00
gation stage and will be reaching the flag leaf stage shortly so keep a close eye. To help evaluate the risk in your field there are some tools available. Canola Council of Canada has a sclerotinia stem rot checklist that can be found on their website at www.canolacouncil.org. There is also a Fungicide Decision Support System for lentils (Table1) where the threshold for fungicide application is set at a risk value of 50. If the risk value is less than 50, a fungicide application is not warranted, but a new risk assessment should be made at three to five days intervals until the crop is no longer flowering With fungicide applications protection only last about 10 to 14 days so if disease persists or weather conditions are favorable
for further development then second application may be warranted. If you are considering more than one application, make sure to use fungicides with different modes of action to reduce the risk of building up resistance in the pathogen. Remember, fungicides protect healthy tissue but do not repair already damage tissue. Catching diseases early is important for the best protection and maximum yields. For more information on diseases or to help identify what your risk is please contact your local agronomist, Regional Crops Specialist, or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

Agriculture Agricultural fairs now light on agriculture I suppose this is what I knowingly recognize as my redundant annual column, but there is something about this time of year which always makes me nostalgic for agricultural fairs. It is more than the fact the Yorkton Exhibition Association’s annual fair is being held in the city this week, and that means my trekking to the familiar grounds for the local
regional 4-H show, dairy goat show and of course a plate of curly fries and an elephant ear. When I was a youngster my summer holidays were not spent at some camp for kids. Instead it was a near solid six-weeks of attending summer fairs; Saskatoon, Yorkton, Melfort, Connaught, Nipawin, Prince Albert, Golburn, Invermay, Swan River, Shand. We showed live-

stock and in that era, 30to-40 years ago that meant being an important part of the fair.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association endorses the federal government’s decision to cover all Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) wind-up costs associated with the end of the CWB monopoly. “This payment will ensure farmers are not saddled with the costs of winding up the monopoly,” says Kevin Bender. “It gives the new CWB every opportunity to be an effective marketing choice for farmers.” The Wheat Growers had argued that the costs of winding up the CWB monopoly should fall to the people of Canada, given that it was the federal government that imposed the monopoly in 1943. The
payout amount (up to $349 million) appears high, however it represents a fraction of the cost of the CWB monopoly to western farmers and the Canadian economy over the decades. The payout will soon be recouped through higher income tax revenue assessed on prairie farm income under an open market. “In one month prairie farmers will be free of the monopoly and capturing the benefits of an open market,” says Bender. “The increased farm profitability and growth in the prairie farm economy will soon far exceed this one-time windup payment.”
CWB grain delivery points expand across Western Canada Farmers now have delivery points all across Western Canada to market their grain with CWB. President and CEO Ian White today announced new agreements have been reached with six companies, including Viterra, to handle grain for farmers who want to participate in the popular CWB pools. More agreements are expected to be reached shortly with other Prairie grain-handling companies, he added. “CWB is ready for business, with partners who are committed to helping us serve Prairie farmers and their global grain customers,” White said during a news conference held today at Western Canada’s Farm Progress Show in Regina. “Farmers want to do business with CWB and take advantage of our unparalleled expertise in risk management and marketing. Their success will be our success.” Companies who have agreed to handle CWB grain to date - including the new agreements announced today - operate over 120 country elevators (see list attached). Today’s announcement includes an agreement with Viterra, one of Canada’s largest grain companies. CWB has also reached agreements with Mission Terminal, West Central Road and Rail (WCRR), Delmar Commodities, Linear Grain and Agro Source. These companies join Cargill and South West Terminal, which reached agreements with CWB earlier this year. “The handling agreements we have reached to date provide farmers with the assurance of multiple locations to deliver
their grain, with more on the way,” White said. “Farmers should now be able to move ahead and sign CWB contracts with confidence.” CWB programs are now available for farmer sign-up. White urged producers to sign their CWB contracts as early as possible if they want guaranteed access into the pools, which may have limited space - allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. “This will be a change for many farmers who were accustomed to waiting for harvest to sign their contracts,” he said. “However, the flexibility of CWB pool contracts means there’s no reason to wait, especially if farmers want to avoid disappointment in the fall.” White noted that Act of God provisions, a no-cost grade adjustment and the option to switch to cash contracts are all available before pool sign-up deadlines, which are September 28 for the shorterterm Early Delivery Pool and October 31 for the more traditional Harvest Pool. Farmers also have the unique new option of signing a CWB contract now and choosing their delivery points later with participating grain-handling companies. “Only with CWB contracts can farmers sign first, then shop around for the best handling terms,” White said. “It’s one of the many advantages to doing business with CWB in this exciting new era.” More information on CWB contracts and grain-handling options can be found at www.cwb.ca .
Everybody had a tie to the farm in those days, and so most attending fairs walked through the barns. It was just the thing to do. Of course farming itself was different back then. Operations were smaller. They were generally mixed. In our case over the years we always showed registered hogs -- as far afield as the Toronto Royal twice -- but also sheep, dairy goats, even chickens and grain sheaves. People would walk through the barns and look. They would stop to talk, usually about the animals they had at home. In those days almost every farmer had a few cows, pigs, raised chickens for eggs and milk. That was the way of farming. Those days are past. Yes there are those who want to get back to being more self-sufficient on the farm. They see value in raising chickens on grain they grow to produce eggs, or to raise pigs to have a deep freeze full of meat without a cash outlay at the grocery store each week. In some respects it was a simpler time, which I suppose is something every generation says as it looks back, but it seems true through my eyes. Farmers had the time, or at least made it, to take their stock to shows all over the Prairies. It was part of growing up for many kids of my generation. You knew you were coming of age when your
father let you stay alone at some fair to look after the show stock. It was another step when you got to drive the truck with the 28-foot trailer behind. You had earned a level of trust and responsibility, at least that is how I saw such things. Today in a world of cellphones and laptops and GPS there seems to be time for anything. It is hard to imagine a farmer giving up a day, let alone four, five, six, to haul their animals to a summer fair, where they would show one day, and the rest of the time relax and market to the farmers walking through each day. Today livestock producers tend toward largescale operations, highly specialized in what they do. The intensive rearing systems of some sectors aren’t popular with consumers, but economic factors, rates of gain, feed
conversion, tell the tale for farmers. They are far superior to what the mixed farmer achieved a few decades back. And so summer fairs have evolved. They are all about midways and grandstand shows and entertainment. Few attending venture to even look at the few 4-H animals, or goats which somehow maintain a tenacious foothold as part of a fair like the one in Yorkton. Those at the fair no longer have that close connection to the farm. They disconnect with that world completely for most. So while I wax nostalgic about fairs as the calendar turns to July, I know the clock won’t turn back, even if I wish at times like this that it would. Still for me a summer fair will be remembered as far more than they now are, and frankly better than they now are too.

Tait Insurance Group celebrates 30 years
A pair of Main Street Shellbrook’s longest serving business people celebrated 30 years in business July 1. In 1982, Murray and Jean Tait were looking for a new business opportunity as they were winding up their partnership with Paulhus Funeral Services. Not wanting to leave the community, they searched for a local business opportunity that would keep them in town. What they found would eventually become the family business. “We liked Shellbrook. The kids were growing up here and we didn’t want to leave,” said Murray Tait. Allan Danielson, who was in search of other challenges, was looking to sell his insurance business, Shellbrook Agencies.
NOTICE
Effective July 14, 2012 Village of Leask Landfill will be open to Village residents only. Summer Hours: May 1 - Sept 30; Sat 10 - 5 pm Winter Hours: Oct 1 - Apr 30 1st & 3rd Sat of each month 10 - 5 pm
They negotiated a deal and the Taits officially took over on July 1, 1982. Thirty years later, Tait Insurance group is a three office insurance brokerage serving Shellbrook, Canwood, Leask and points in between. Through a series of acquisitions over the years, the company has become a regional entity. The Taits bought Canwood Agencies from Clint and Gloria Mason in the 1980s and PepperLaycock Agencies in the 1990s when Bill Hughes retired. They eventually bought Evergreen Agencies in Leask, expanding their customer base west. “Its been a slow process but that’s the way you grow now-a-days,” said Tait. Having offices in three separate sites poses some challenges but it all works out for the most part. Computerization in the industry has allows the three sites to stay in sync. Technology and competition have been the biggest changes in the industry over the past 30 years. Chartered banks and online brokers have cre-
ated a lot more competition in the industry. Tait Insurance has combated that competition through their personal connection with their clients. “If you have a claim, you can come, sit at our desk and talk to us about your claim. You don’t have to follow through a number of phonecalls and wait on hold,” said Tait. “It’s the service aspect and that is what we are here to offer. I think that is what has driven our success too is being personable and in the community.” As the business grew, it also evolved into a family business with the inclusion of their son Vance, who passed away in 2001 and his wife Tanya. Murray and Jean’s middle son Quinn also returned to the community to get into the family business while also working as a real estate agent through REMAX out of the Shellbrook office. “It’s been a family business too. That’s been a big part of it. It’s helped us grow. It made us grow,” said Tait.

Government supports FASD awareness and prevention The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority is providing $163,334 to agencies that promote awareness and prevention of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). “It’s so important that we continue to raise awareness about FASD in our communities,” Social Services Minister June Draude said. “The harm caused due to drinking alcohol during pregnancy is totally preventable and we need to continue to spread that message.” The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute (SPI) will receive $81,000 to support continued development of the FASD Speakers’ Bureau as well as regional FASD committees that develop community-level FASD prevention and awareness. SPI is also working to finalize a FASD multimedia awareness campaign and will be hosting a national FASD conference this fall. The FASD Support Network of Saskatchewan will receive $82,334 to support the organization’s
FASD newsletter as well as other resource materials to assist people living with FASD as well as parents and families with FASD children. The funding will also be used to continue a program aimed at raising FASD awareness among post-secondary students who are studying for careers where they may come into frequent contact with individuals impacted by FASD.
SPI Executive Director Noreen Agrey said FASD is the leading cause of preventable disability in children and the continued financial support from government is vital to help raise awareness. “Each new generation of parents needs to hear the message that alcohol is a substance that can cause damage to the developing fetus’ brain and as a result, change behaviour,” Agrey said.

Regional Parks receive $1 million from Saskatchewan government The Provincial Government announced this week that Saskatchewan Regional Parks will once again receive a grant for $1.023 million for the 2012-13 fiscal year. “Our government has shown its commitment to our regional park system by maintaining the same level of funding as last
year - the highest amount received by regional parks since the 1990s,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said. “Our regional parks are important to the people of Saskatchewan. They contribute to the economy and are reflective of our communities and the volunteers who operate them.”
The funding is for capital upgrades, enabling parks to upgrade their facilities, ensure visitor safety and offer improved services. The Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association distributes the money to member parks for the cost sharing of capital improvements. Grants are available to member
parks to a maximum of $25,000 per park and are cost shared to a maximum of 50 per cent of project costs. This in effect doubles the amount being invested into regional parks. “Saskatchewan Regional Parks have experienced unprecedented growth over the past four years,” Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association President John Froese said. “With the increased funding from the Government of Saskatchewan, our parks have been able to invest in new camp-
sites, new washroom facilities, boat launches, playgrounds and more. This in turn allows us to welcome more people and offer a better experience for our visitors.” In 2008, the government committed $2.4 million over four years to Saskatchewan Regional Parks. This commitment was exceeded, with $3.15 million being granted over the four-year period. This was a significant increase over the $75,000 a year regional parks were receiving previously. The $1.023 million
regional parks received this year is the same level of funding that Regional Parks received in 2011-12. There are 99 regional parks in Saskatchewan, and 74 of them have achieved accreditation. Each regional park that has been accredited has reached a guaranteed minimum standard for facilities and maintenance within their park. Regional parks reflect community pride. Each regional park is developed and operated by volunteers from the local communities.

That means everyone, including visitors from outside the province, can fish in Saskatchewan without having to purchase a licence. “Saskatchewan is one of the world’s top destinations for freshwater fishing,” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff
said. “This weekend is an excellent opportunity for people of all ages to learn about and enjoy the sport of fishing and to recognize the importance of our fish and aquatic resources.” On average, approximately 250,000 people fish in Saskatchewan each year, including more than 40,000 out-of-province anglers.

Leask hosts Centennial bash
Leask geared up for nearly three years for the party of the century and that’s was exactly what was had as the community celebrated its’ Centennial June 29,30 and July 1. According to Mayor and Centennial Committee chair Maurice Stieb, upwards of 1,400 people registered for the event but there were plenty more who took it all in without signing in. “We had one heck of a good time here. Everybody from out of town had nothing but praise for the weekend. They couldn’t believe that a little village like this could put on a parade like that and a party like this,” said Stieb. The parade featured 85 floats and vehicles entered by businesses, groups and individuals from across the region. Sizable grants from both the provincial and federal governments offset many of the costs associated with organizing the event. The Canadian Heritage Fund kicked in $17,270
while the provincial Community Initiative Fund provided another $10,775 to help organizers get the weekend off the ground. Stieb said that with the grant contributions and the generous donations from local businesses, he anticipates that the event will have broken even or better but that won’t be determined until all of the bills are in and the committee meets at the end of July. Volunteers had a huge role to play in making everything happen through the weekend. Over the past two and a half years countless volunteer hours went into organizing the event from the flea market at the Seniors Hall to the entertainment at the former Leask Hotel site. “The community came together and we put on one heck of a show,” said Stieb. Sales for the Centennial cookbook, “Savouring the Memories” exceeded expectation as 425 were sold of the 450 printed. The book featured recipes

submitted from area families, their stories about the recipes and relevant news items from every decade. In addition to the full raft of events that will live in the memories of those who attended, the weekend also featured a few that will have a lasting impact on the community for years to come. Friday saw the unveiling of a triptych of murals at the end of Main Street. The murals, painted by local artist Doreen Kalmakoff, depict the community as it would have appeared in years gone by -- complete with new looking grain elevators and the CN Rail station that was a part of the community from 1912 to 1979. According to Mayor Maurice Stieb, the project was kicked off through the wishes of the late Judy Boyer. After seeing murals in a number of communities across the region Boyer brought the idea of memorializing community’s former skyline with murals to Stieb. He passed the idea on to the Centennial Committee and they agreed. A short time later, Boyer fell ill and eventu-
ally succumbed to her illness but the movement continued. Stieb said that he hopes the work can continue on her initial plan of having a full semi-circle of murals at the end of Main Street, including the Leask Hotel, which burned down last year. Meanwhile, a ceremony Sunday afternoon marked the dedication of Dr. Duncan Drive in honour of Leask’s first physician. Retired Leask teacher Doreen Wudrich spearheaded the movement to rename 2nd Avenue North and gave the ad-
dress during the ceremony. Dr. Duncan came to the community in 1911 and went to great pains to ensure his population was well served, using a dogsled, canoe and many other means to reach his patients. With the Centennial approaching, Wudrich decided it was time that Dr. Duncan be recognized for his great contribution to the region, having delivered more than 1,000 babies during his long career. “I have always thought that should be Dr. Duncan Drive,” said Wudrich, of the renamed road where
Dr. Duncan’s former home still stands. “Lets not forget these guys from the past. I want the history to remain,” said Wudrich. The weekend also saw the official sod turning for the Butler Library project with a $50,000 donation from former resident Percy Butler to the cause. The weekend was capped off with a fantastic fireworks show that lasted more than 30 minutes with each of the charges set off by the Leask Fire Department.

A former Leask resident decided to give back to the community that had given him so much as a child. Percy Butler, of Victoria, B.C. donated $50,000 toward the construction of a new library and museum in the shadow of the former Leask Hotel at the end of Main Street. Butler and his brother George participated in a sod turning ceremony Sunday afternoon as a part of the community’s centennial celebrations. Percy credits much of what he was able to accomplish in his life to his school principal J. W. Curley who served from 1933 to 1941 and again from 1946 to 1952 after a stint in the airforce. Under the tutilage of Curley, Percy was able to win the Governor General’s Medal, a few after his brother won the same honour. With the accompanying $50, he was able to start university and eventually become an engineer. “One teacher can make quite a difference,” said Butler.,” said Percy. He found his way into the air conditioning system design field and headed east in search of work. “Anybody from Saskatchewan has a pretty
good chance of getting a job. We can get something going with haywire and a pair of pliers. It may not be the normal way but we’re never stuck,” said Butler. One of his crowning achievements was being a part of the team that put the air conditioning system in the House of Commons. When he completed school, he headed east “because there was no work in my field in those days.”
He decided to give money to a library project after paying a visit to the community last year. While here, he was told that the present library, in the basement of the RM Office, could close due to lack of attendance. The space is small and not wheelchair accessible. He felt a more central location, like the future site on Main Street would make it more visible and more accessible. According to Leask
Mayor, Maurice Stieb, will be all on one floor and will also house a museum, tea room and possibly a tourist information booth. The new facility is expected to cost upwards of $220,000 and will be approximately 1980 in size on one floor. Stieb said they hope to start on the ground work for the project this fall depending on funding. “We do have a bit already but it costs a lot,” said Stieb.

Public input sought on second river crossing in PA Members of the public are being asked to provide their input on the business case, location and timing for a second river crossing in the Prince Albert area. The City of Prince Albert, Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, RM of Buckland and RM of Prince Albert have hired consulting engineers Stantec and McNair Business Development to col-
lect public input and other data for the Prince Albert Area Second River Crossing Study, now underway. The Prince Albert Grand Council is also participating in this study. Over the next two months, Stantec will also examine potential locations east of the city, do some preliminary cost analysis and review economic factors.
“The provincial government has been in discussion with the City of Prince Albert and area municipalities about the critical importance of maintaining the Diefenbaker Bridge as well as the potential need for a second bridge,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. “We take this issue very seriously and look

forward to hearing from Prince Albert area residents and other bridge users about the area’s future needs.” “The province has a process they need to follow,” Prince Albert Mayor Jim Scarrow said. “There are a number of relevant factors that will be reviewed before a decision is made regarding a second bridge for Prince Albert. I would like to encourage the people of Prince Albert and area, businesses and stakeholders to take part in the Stantec consultations this summer. Your feedback regarding location, local impact and economic implications of a second bridge is important.” RM of Buckland Reeve Larry Fladager and RM of Prince Albert Reeve Norma Sheldon are active members of the project steering committee and welcome input on the project from their respective municipalities. Stantec will also collect information on the impact of the partial closure and weight restric-
tions on the Diefenbaker Bridge. Safety repairs are ongoing and will be completed in the fall of 2012. As part of the consultation process, key stakeholders will be interviewed by the consultant and the public will be given the opportunity to provide direct input to Stantec through a website link and at a future public open house, tentatively scheduled for summer 2012. Members of the public can provide valuable information and comments
by e-mailing Stantec at PABridge2@stantec.com. This information would include home and destination postal codes; if providing multiple destinations please list the destinations; frequency of use/crossings on Diefenbaker Bridge; purpose of trips whether business, personal or pleasure; impact of bridge restrictions if any; alternate routes available to you and any additional comments or statements.

Happy Hearts Childcare gearing up for fund raising Funding has been approved for 33 childcare spaces in Shellbrook and now a local group is gearing up to establish a nonprofit daycare centre for the community. The newly established board of the Happy Hearts Childcare Centre Inc. is kicking off their fund raising activities with a Texas scramble golf tournament at the Hidden Hills of Shellbrook Golf Course Saturday July 21. According to board
member, Marliese Kasner, the group is looking to raise upwards of $360,000 for the construction of the centre through a series of fund raisers and charitable donations. The total construction cost is expected to come in around $500,000 and with their approval for 33 seats, the daycare will receive $110,000 for their capital building fund and another $30,000 for furnishings . At the time that application was made by the
SaskPower to spend $10 B over next 10 years SaskPower is pleased to return to normal operations today following numerous power outages across the province the week of June 25. President Watson also thanked the media for their help in getting important safety and customer service messages out to the public. At the height of last week’s major storms: - Eleven transmission lines were down (high-voltage lines in rural areas); - Approximately 500 linemen were working in the field. That number doesn’t include employees in SaskPower’s call centre, emergency planning teams, safety personnel, support teams, or those supplying equipment and vehicles to the field; - SaskPower averaged 2,500-3,000 customer calls per hour to the outage management centre. That’s 30-40 calls per minute. - Crews worked in deep water and mud, which requires special equipment and skills. - Employees patrolled power lines from the air to determine the locations of outages more quickly. In order to maintain and improve existing infrastructure, SaskPower will spend $10 billion over the next 10 years. One of these investments is advanced metering infrastructure – commonly called “smart meters”. SaskPower will install 500,000 smart meters by the end of 2014.

group to the government for approval, the Town submitted a letter of support agreeing to provide land for construction if approve. The group is currently working with the Town of Shellbrook to come up with a home for the childcare centre near the Centennial Leisure Park on the east side of Shellbrook. If all goes according to plan, construction on the facility will begin in the spring of 2013. The group is currently waiting for funding to arrive in order to contract a draftsperson to design the facility. According to Kasner, the facility will have a minimum of 3,300 square feet of floor space to accommodate the government regulations of 100 square feet per child. The non-profit corporation has charitable status and can provide tax deductible receipts for donations. An on going fund raiser for the group will be their brick campaign, where labeled paving bricks will be sold to be placed in and around the facility once it has been constructed. The campaign will be unveiled at the group’s golf tournament July 21. They also plan a wall of honour in the facility, where the names of donor businesses and individuals will be displayed. The group is also hosting a children’s item garage sale September 8 and are currently looking for donations of children’s items as well as people looking to rent tables to sell their own items.
Correction In the story “Designer’s Edge becomes full service salon” in the June 29 edition of the Chronicle there was a misleading statement. The story states that Vicki MacPherson purchased the Designers Edge space from Claude Leblanc when she was actually a lessee. Jim and Kathy Buckingham purchased the former barbershop and the Shellbrook laundromat from Leblanc. The couple owns it to this day and were instrumental in the renovation project. The Chronicle apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.

Mobile Crisis Services to take on farm stress calls Mobile Crisis Services will assume responsibility for calls to the Farm Stress Line starting July 4, 2012. This transfer to Mobile Crisis Services will provide improved service to farmers and ranchers who use the Farm Stress Line, with one-on-one service now available 24 hours a day. Previously, if a producer called after hours they could choose to be con-
nected with Mobile Crisis Services or leave a message on the Farm Stress Line message manager. Now there will be staff available to take calls at any time. The existing number will remain the same (1800-667-4442) and farmers and ranchers will continue to receive the confidential counselling, support and referral services they may need.
“Transferring the Farm Stress Line to Mobile Crisis Services will provide farmers and ranchers with 24/7 access to the support they may need in tough times,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “While the demand for these services has decreased, we still want farmers and ranchers to know they can continue to rely on these services when they need it.”
Calls to the Farm Stress Line have been decreasing in recent years, with approximately 330 calls last year, or less than one caller per day. Mobile Crisis Services is a non-profit community based agency. They have a full complement of front-line staff, primarily social workers, trained and equipped to handle a wide range of issues, and have been providing crisis intervention services since 1974. “The Farm Stress Line fits well into our existing services,” Mobile Crisis Services Inc. Executive Director Glenda Jenkins said. “Our employees are trained and well equipped to provide the confidential counselling services farmers and ranchers may need.” The change in delivery of the service will save the provincial government approximately $100,000 per year.
Zero In On New Employees GOLDEN DONATION -- Shellbrook Golden Hosts Merle Roberts and Pat Grayston accept a cheque for $200 from Kathleen Delisle, of the Shellbrook Affinity Credit Union branch. The funds for the donation were supplied through the Affinity Community Spirit fund, an initiative that provides all Affinity employees, directors and delegates the opportunity to direct funds to a community organization or charitable group of their choice. The funds will help the Golden Hosts with some of the up front costs of their next drama production.

Good News ~
Dave Bodvarson SPA, Pastor The pain is worth it if the experience brings you back to God. I appreciate pastor James MacDonald view on life. He learnt a valuable lesson during his days as a basket ball player. He tells the story this way; “ I played a lot of basketball... I sprained my ankles many times, and I learned too late that the best way to handle all the black and blue is to fill a wastebasket with ice and top it off with water. Then, while the injury is fresh, put your wounded foot deep into that cold water and leave it. If you can last one minute, it’s just crazy painful. But if you can keep it there for two minutes, the injury and its recovery time will be cut in half...If you can hang on for two and half minutes, you can be playing basketball by Thursday, but the pain of holding your foot in that arctic water will have you crying out for someone to bring you a sharp object. Even with my worst injuries I seldom made it two and a half minutes. But here is the amazing thing about “ remaining under the pain” of having your foot in that cold bucket. If you hang in there for three minutes, you’ll be walking tomorrow. The pain will be consuming those last thirty seconds, worse by far than the injury itself now. But you will walk tomorrow. What I see from this illustration is that at times the cure is painful but most beneficial. David wrote in his psalm 32 verse 3-4 “ When I kept silent, my bones grew old. Through my groaning s all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me, My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.” David knew the ten commandments, and that adultery, murder and deceit were forbidden. David tried to cover his sins and pretend that nothing had happened. What happened to David during those difficult months? Well reading the scriptures is seems that David became a ‘ physical wreck.’ He was likely about fifty when he had an affair with Bathsheba but he began to feel like a sick
old man. Eugene Peterson puts Psalm 32:3-4 this way “ When I kept it all inside, my bones turned to powder, my words became daylong groans. The pressure never let up, all the juices of my life dried up.” Pretty descriptive isn’t it ? It wasn’t that was God on David’s case because he didn’t love him but because he did love him. Read Hebrews 12:4-it tells us our Father disciplines us because He loves us. David was miserable, he went against his conscience, he had a ‘worried mind.’ Will I be found out he thought? One preacher said of David “ it was worth the pain, for experience brought him back to the Lord.” He that covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. Psalm 32:5 says David “ I acknowledge my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord. And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.” I like the way Eugene Peterson puts Psalm 32:5 this way “ Then I let it all out; I said, “ I’ll make a clean breast of my failures to God.” Suddenly the pressure was gone- my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared. “ I love David ‘confession’ in 2 Samuel 12:13 it is rather refreshing as he was confronted by Nathan. David confession was “ I have sinned against the Lord.” I really like Nathan’s response he said to David “ The Lord... has put away your sin...” 2 Samuel 12:13 There were definite consequences for David’s sin but King David “didn’t have to do penance one preacher” observed or go on a probation; all he had to do was sincerely confess his sins, and the Lord forgave him.” It was a long 12 months but David finally got to point he didn’t want to offer any excuses for his behavior, he knew he was guilty. Read verse 7 of Psalm 32 and it tells us on the road to recovery David not only received forgiveness but he found God to be his ‘ hiding place.’

New stars sprinkled through Hall of Fame Casual baseball fans may be in for a surprise when they study the rosters of the American and National League teams for the mid-season classic, this year scheduled for July 10 at Kansas City. Oh, the usual, familiar names will be around — Josh Hamilton, Jose Bautista, Derek Jeter — thanks to fan voting, which is weighted heavily on popularity and name familiarity rather than merit. So when names like Trout, Trumbo, McCutcheon and Castro show up, don’t be surprised. There is a constant changing of the guard in the majors and this year is no different. So who is Trout? He’s Mike, a great hitter with the Los Angeles Angels whose offensive exploits this year were partially overshadowed by the non-hitting woes of Albert Pujols, the $256 million free-agent signee who barely hit his weight through the first two months of the season. Trout played 20 games in AAA Salt Lake City and batted .403 before being called up to the Bigs. In his first 50 games, he had seven homers and a batting average of .344. Trumbo is Trout’s team-mate, Mark. Remember the M and M Boys of the Yankees in the 1960s (Mantle and Maris)? This Angels T and T duo (TNT is the obvious nickname for the pair) might be just as explosive. A second-year third-baseman, Trumbo belted 18 homers in his first 65 games this season and had a slugging percent of .610, trailing only Hamilton and ‘Big Papi’ David Ortiz in that category. McCutcheon is Andrew, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who haven’t had a winning record since 1991. A centrefielder and the epitome of a five-tool player (hits for average, for power, has speed, a strong arm and great fielder), McCutcheon’s name surfaces when fans start talking about the best player in the game today. And the Pirates?
They’re over .500, thanks in large part to McCutcheon’s heroics. Castro? He’s Starlin Castro of the Cubs and he’s a slick-fielding shortstop who plays for a lousy team. Somebody has to represent the Cubs in the Mid-Summer Classic, so he’s likely to be their representative.
Tune in to the all-star game broadcast and you’ll certainly see the familiar names. It won’t take long for the newcomers to become household names, too. • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Ryan Leaf said at his sentencing ‘I’m lazy, selfish and dishonest.’ Was he talking about why he should be sent to prison, or announcing a future run for Congress?” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Major league umpires are now wearing military-style cooling packs under their heavy gear to combat the heat. Fans responded by saying they’d prefer the umpires suffer.” • Another one from Cote: “The Panthers picked 23rd in the NHL Draft, which is generally considered to be the largest gathering of white teenagers outside of an Eminem concert.” • Steve Simmons of Sunmedia, on Twitter: “First reason to worry about Leaf draft pick Matt Finn: His favourite player growing up was Bryan McCabe.”
From the desk of the Recreation Director By: Cassie Bendig The playground program has begun! Kids got to play, experience activities and meet the new playground coordinators. The coordinators seemed to be enjoying the day with the kids, even though the first day was a rainy one! Keep track with photos on Facebook. I will try to keep updates of the kids on a weekly basis. The results came in of the TSN Kraft Celebration Tour and we did not make it to the second round. Next year we will get this rolling! The pool is now open for all programs! If you are
curious at what time any programs start, please go to our website and download the pool brochure or stop by the pool. You can also pick up your brochure from the town office or tourist booth. The sand at the Centennial Park will be changed to park quality sand soon. If anyone is interested in helping out, please let me know. A work bee will be planned within the next month and this situation will soon be resolved! Weekly Health Tip: This week’s tip has been taken from www.gethealthylexington.com; “Artificial sweeteners are bad
for the body because they are well, artificial. They are man-made chemicals to act like sugar. The problem is our body does not know what to do with it since it is a foreign substance. These products disturb our body’s normal biochemistry which distorts our body’s ability to manage calories. In many cases “Diet Products” actually lead to weight gain. Research shows that Diet soda can double a person’s risk of obesity.” Have a great week! Cassie Bendig Shellbrook Recreation Director office – 747-4949

Currie of sportsdeke.com: “White Sox slugger Adam Dunn is on pace for 260 strikeouts in one season. Which would beat the old record of striking out 223 times, set when I was dating.” • Currie again: “Word out of Winnipeg is the Bombers’ new stadium won’t be completed this season.

But in the London Olympics he could face harsher conditions; a torrential downpour, bad food and virtually no dental care.” • Rick Ball, B.C. Lions radio broadcaster, when smoke obscured the uprights in Edmonton during a point-after attempt: “It’s like the back of Cheech and Chong’s van.” • Ben Burnett: “Toronto signed 49-year-old left-hander Jamie Moyer to a minor league contract, according to a report on the team’s website. “His fastball sounds great if you convert to metric.” Care to comment?
