Town working on pipe problem Once again, sewer infrastructure is causing problems for the Town of Shellbrook. Contractors and the Town’s public works crew have been combatting a sewer line disconnect at the east end of Second Avenue East since late June and are still working toward a permanent solution. According to Mayor George Tomporowski, the problem began when the connection at one end of the line failed at the manhole. The connection to the manhole was not properly grouted and outside water and sand from the rain saturated ground was allowed to flow into the line. The problem was discovered following the June 25 storm that dumped more than two and a half inches of rain on the Shellbrook area. The same storm caused damage to electrical infrastructure at various points through the province, leaving many residents without power for upwards of 24 hours. The area, east of 4th Street, was excavated and the line was repaired but a short time later a blockage further down the line was detected. The blockage was likely the result of the earlier line failure and prevented water from getting through the line to the lift station. “With the water table up, we are now getting sand and ground water flowing into the pipe,” said Tomporowski.. J & R Atkinson was contracted to excavate the area and fix the connection but according to Tomporowski, they had their work cut out for them with repeated cave ins due to the high water table and the depth at which the pipe sits in the ground.
FIELD TRIP -- Local beekeeper Murray Hannigan shows participants of the Kids in the Kitchen program a bee hive during a tour of his facility north of Shellbrook. The tour was the finale of the three day program which provided kids aged 7 to 12 with some nutrition education while also giving them hands on experience with cooking. Story and photos on page 13
After days of working on the blocked pipe, it was eventually cleared but that was short lived as another blockage took its place. With more sand and ground water in the line, it is believed that the there is another separation somewhere in the line. During this time, some residents in the area had to run water hoses from neighbouring houses to have any access to water service. At press time, all water service had been restored but because of the sewer line blockage, some residents in the immediate area did not have access to the sewer. Continued on page 3
Support staff shortages result in office cutbacks at Shellbrook RCMP Detachment Staffing shortages at the Shellbrook RCMP detachment have resulted in cutbacks in the available hours for counter service in the detachment office. Effective immediately,the Detachment will only be open for counter service between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Thursday. It has yet to be determined whether or not the Detachment be open on Fridays. The reason for the change is support
worker shortages, and will remain in effect until another support worker can be hired. It is expected that this process will be lengthy. Sgt. Carl Dinsdale would like to remind the public about the telephone numbers to call for assistance: 911 - Emergency only 310-RCMP (7267) - to reach Regina Dispatch 747-2606 - to leave a message for Shellbrook Detachment members

RCMP bust Medstead meth lab
One man was arrested following the discovery of a meth lab in the Medstead area last week. On July 17, RCMP with the assistance of members from the Glaslyn and Turtleford detatchments, executed a search warrant in Medstead where items in relation to the production of methamphetamine were seized. A
second warrant was executed at a mobile home south of Medstead which also resulted in the seizure of items used in meth production. Scott Anderson, 43, was arrested in relation to the searches. He has been charged with production of methamphetamine and breach of an undertaking. While further charges
may be pending, details on those charges were not available at press time. He was remanded into custody and made his first court appearance July 19. The “F” Division Clandestine Laboratory Response Team are members specially trained in the dismantling of clandestine labs throughout the province of Saskatchewan.
The unit is not an investigative team, but a response team that ensures both public and peace officer safety. The public is advised to report any suspicious activity regarding clandestine labs to their local police service or RCMP
detachment. Signs of a clandestine lab include ammonia smell, an abundance of chemical containers, and the presence of chemicals without a known purpose. If you have information in relation to clandestine labs, please
contact Saskatchewan Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477, *8477 on SaskTel, text TIP206 to CRIMES (274637) or online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com where you can also view information on other unsolved crimes.
Shellbrook Bigway ‘Rounding up’ for Shellbrook hospital project Shellbrook Bigway is looking to “round up” sales for a good cause through the month of August. As a part of the Grocery People’s Round up for your Community Event,” Shellbrook Bigway clerks will ask customers if they would like to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar, with funds going to the Shellbrook and Districts Health Services Project. The change from
every included transaction will be pooled automatically using the store’s computerized cash system for the month of August and forwarded to the cause in September. A similar fund raiser was held through stores affiliated with the Grocery People last year with proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House. This year, the full line food wholesale distribu-
tion company, opted to organize the fund raiser with local charities and groups receiving the fund raising dollars. Shellbrook Bigway owner, Jody Lanovaz is happy to be able to run such a fund raiser with proceeds going to a local cause. The fund raiser kicks off July 29 and runs through September 1.
Town works on pipe problem Continued from page 1
The Town is now trying to determine the best course of action -- to excavate the area to replace the pipe or to do a horizontal bore and push a new, one piece replacement pipe in place. Tomporowski said that the horizontal bore is the
likely choice as there is minimal digging involved. The only drawback is that the new pipe would follow the track of the old pipe and could take on any slumps or rises in the old line. A cameraing of the line has detected one such slump in the immediate area, which may have

also contributed to the line blockage. Meanwhile, another excavation would likely be a messy ordeal with the entire width of the street dug up to get at the problem area. The trouble section of pipe is not a part of the antiquated concrete sewer infrastructure the Town
has been working toward replacing over the past few years but a section of modern, plastic pipe. A detour around the area has been in effect since the problem was first discovered.

Riders took their eye off the ball Rider Insider
“I just took my eyes off the ball.” - Weston Dressler, July 20, 2012 He was speaking about himself, but he might as well have been speaking for the entire team. The Saskatchewan Roughriders took their eye off the ball in Week 4. We’re speaking about the Riders’ 41-38 overtime loss in Calgary last Thursday which sent Canada’s Team to its first defeat of the season. In a fabulous football game on an unmatched summer evening in one of the CFL’s greatest cities, there were five lead
changes in the first half before the Riders pulled away in the second half. However with half a quarter to go in the fourth, the Riders took their eye off the ball. Up 17 points, they seemed to put it into cruise control and allowed the proud Stampeders to crawl their way back into the game. Even as it was slipping away, from the broadcast booth, I never felt for one second like Saskatchewan would let this one get away. In case you missed it, the Riders even had a last-minute drive with the game tied 35-35 however
With the Voice of The Riders, Rod Pedersen a deep pass from Darian Durant well into Calgary territory went right through the hands of the Riders’ most sure-handed receiver. Weston Dressler. But he was far from the only culprit in this one. Calgary, of course, won it in overtime on a
Nik Lewis touchdown while the Riders could only muster a 50-yard Chris Milo field goal. Both Rider coach Corey Chamblin and team President Jim Hopson were seething after the game but kept their thoughts to themselves.

over the last fine details of the update while giving staff a run through of the new processes involve in laying out the paper. Starting next week, the paper will look different but not shockingly so.

They may have had some private thoughts on who to blame and it was likely discussed behind closed doors, but we’ll never know. That will buy them both some serious equity within the locker room. Chamblin simply said there are no excuses for the loss, and that it will not happen again. Good Lord I hope not. It was bad enough

in the 2009 Grey Cup, in that very stadium, where the Riders choked up a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter and lost to Montreal in the championship. This game had a similar stunning feeling, but about one hundredth less the pressure. They’re a very young team and they’ll bounce back. The good news is we know the Riders ARE good enough to have gone 4-0 because they had the game under control. Until they took their eye off the ball.
Chronicle gearing up for update In May of this year, the Shellbrook Chronicle embarked on a journey that will change the look and functionality of the publication starting August 3. Following a presentation by renown newspaper design consultant Ed Henninger at this year’s Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association, Chronicle Publisher Clark
Pepper decided it was time for the paper to move beyond some of the styles that had been a part of the publication for decades. Consultations began between Henninger, Pepper and the Chronicle staff in a trial and error fashion. Henninger would create mock-ups from his office in Rock Hill, South Carolina and submit them for

Opinions Roof-ready not quite good enough The Saskatchewan Roughriders, City of Regina and the Government of Saskatchewan have joined forces to bring the province a new football stadium. Between the three, $278 million will be spent to construct a new 33,000 open air stadium that is slated to be completed by 2017. To cover this cost, the provincial government has made a pledge of $80 million and has promised $100 million in loan guarantees. The City of Regina would kick in $73 million and the Roughriders organization will kick in $25 million. Much has been made about the province’s contribution to the project. Some say it is money best spent elsewhere, others say the amount is too high while others still are saying its about time they got the ball rolling on this project. Looking at the costs and what they represent, I feel all parties involved didn’t quite go far enough. A design has yet to be completed on the proposed facility but one thing it will include is the capability to support a roof if one is deemed necessary in the future. Maybe it’s a simple add-on but these things never seem to be simple and they typically always cost more than if you had just gone ahead and done it in the first place. By going with an open air stadium, this consortium is limiting themselves to five months that this facility is useful. Adding a roof to the design adds seven months of possible rentals/uses to help recover the money invested. Attracting big concert tours through the summer months has happened only sporadically over the past few years. The Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Bon Jovi have all played sold out shows at the stadium but the last big concert held there was in 2010. Building a new stadium may make Regina a better candidate for these events but having the option of hosting these year round opens up so much more opportunity. Yes, the City and the Province are putting up considerable money for this project but I believe the returns will be huge. The four year construction period will bring countless jobs to the city. These people will stay in hotels, eat in restaurants and pay taxes. The construction period will be good for Regina and good for the Province. City residents will see their taxes rise over the next 10 years to cover the City’s portion of the cost but I think that is just the price of progress. The economy there will thrive and property values will continue to rise. The only problem is that they didn’t take this thing all the way. With some funding in place, they should be looking for a way to score a touchdown rather than settling for a field goal.
The Paul Martin Commentary A recent think piece carried by an on-line business and strategy publication produced by the American firm Booz and Company suggests a place like Saskatchewan – especially small town Saskatchewan – may actually have a competitive advantage in the world of business. David Hurst, a professor at the University of Regina, used the example of Wal-Mart which started in Arkansas where it had to develop its own distribution and shipping channels because the big guys wouldn’t stop in small towns. The company figured it out and today is the considered the world’s greatest logistics player in the retail field. The piece is an excerpt from his new book documenting the cycle of an enterprise by comparing it to a forest. First, plants find an open space – these are the little guys – but eventually even small trees grow into big ones, pushing the little players aside. But nature has a renewal process – the forest fire – to eliminate the old trees in order for new growth….the situation we see for many of the western world economies that are teetering on the edge of failure. *** This might be described as a different kind of Golden handcuffs. Normally this term is used to characterize an employment contract which ties a key worker to the business – an incentive of some sort so they’ll stay around. But a new report from CIBC offers a somewhat less pleasant version of handcuffs being worn by too many people in their Golden years. It turns out that roughly 60 per cent of retired Canadians are still paying off debt. That is a surprisingly high number which, according to the bank, is cutting into
Paul Martin
cash flow for these seniors who are also in a weak position to make lump sum payments. As a result, this debt may become stagnant which means they are not taking advantage of early or additional payment options so they saddled with interest costs for a long time. Obviously a key strategy in all of this is to try to pay off debts prior to retirement and, given that the increases in life expectancy and changes to pension plans to encourage workers to stay on the job longer, the future holds opportunities to get this reversed. *** The big driver that has been pushing Saskatchewan’s economy for the last five or six years is investment. Development of new mines, expansion of existing ones along with the growth in the oil patch has triggered a lot of additional construction for support industries. And it has led to expansion on the institutional side of things: new schools, hospitals and the like. A new report examining investment in non-residential construction for the first half of this year – this includes commercial, industrial and institutional buildings – points to a continuation of a very strong trend. Total construction values rose by more than 20 per cent over the same period last year which was very strong in its own right. Only BC and Newfoundland produced better numbers. Actually Newfoundland, with growth of more than 300 per cent, is in a class all its own. But for the rest of the country Saskatchewan was a stand-out as many provinces produced negligible or even negative results. The centre of all this activity, though, seems to be Saskatoon. Regina’s first half was roughly equal to 2011 but Saskatoon produced a 35 per cent jump.

Viewpoint Wall’s mix of passion and politics At first glance, Premier Brad Wall’s mild bashing of U.S. president Barack Obama last week seems nothing more than the same old politics. Forgive a grizzled, old reporter for assuming this. I’ve seen a lot of politics over the years _ even some from Wall when I would have preferred to be watching a football game. Our Premier decided to steal a bit of pre-game national television time on TSN at the last Roughrider home game by announcing the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for a new open-air, 33,000seat stadium west of Taylor Field by 2017. There was little that we didn’t already know at this announcement other than the proposed date for completion and that a $100 million loan from the province to the city would cover the remainder of the cost. More to the point, there seemed like a whole lot that wasn’t answered, like the interest rate for that loan, who would pay the cost overruns and why there wasn’t a direct private sector contribution (as suggested there would be) or even a little money from the feds (even though Ottawa ruled out that possibility long ago). But the point of Wall making the an-
nouncement before a crowd of surely appreciative ‘Rider fans wasn’t to explain details to reporters. The purpose was to get campaign-ready TV clips of the crowd cheering behind the Premier - the kind of thing that tends to add to the cynicism in politics. So pardon my suspicion that Wall was playing more politics two days later when he took his shots at the Obama administration at the Pacific Northwest Economic Region PNWER summit in Saskatoon - a gathering favoured by right-wing politicians and business types from both sides of the border. “People think in this country, perhaps they do, that the Obama administration is good for Canada,” Wall told reporters after the gathering. “The facts say something else.” The issue here isn’t so much that Wall doesn’t have a point. He surely does. The current U.S. government has acted in a
protectionist manner by inserting a “Buy American”-only clause in contracts for U.S. government’s economic stimulus package. Such protection is frustrating for free-trading Canadians. (Although maybe this one is little understandable. Imagine the outrage if Canadian tax dollars aimed at economic recovery were going to foreign companies.) Wall also expressed his frustrations at Obama overriding the Keystone XL pipeline. He is also angry with American environmentalists who view oilsands and pipeline as “dirty Canadian oil” (although it’s not as if Obama and the Americans are serious about not buying our oil.) Admittedly, it’s the job of Canadian Premiers to express their concerns when foreign government policies can potentially hurt our economic. But to imply that the Obama administration isn’t good for Canadian in the way Wall did seemed to have
a tinge of politics. After all, we’ve faced far worse from American presidents. Canadians were hammered by tariffs against our wheat, lumber, uranium and even potash in the Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush years. The U.S. farm bills subsidizing agriculture hammered rural Saskatchewan, as did BSE embargo of Canadian beef during the George W. Bush years. Were these Republican governments also not bad for Canada? Wall was playing at least a little politics before the PNWER business crowd. But while this was undoubtedly the case, we also need to remember that, with Wall, there is always more to it than just that. One also shouldn’t forget that what Wall is also driven by his passion for his province and his beliefs. There is no doubt he believes a stadium is a great thing for Saskatchewan and that he has a job to do convincing the taxpayers to pay for it. Similarly, he undoubtedly sincerely believes Barack Obama isn’t so great for Saskatchewan trade. And one of the tougher things is sort through whether it’s the politics or the passion driving politicians like Wall.
Letters to the Editor
Free vote needed
Editor: This fall Canada will witness if Stephen Harper’s Conservatives keep their promises when Motion 312 comes to vote. Conservative Party Policy mandates free votes on issues of moral conscience, or, put simply, allows each Member of Parliament to vote free of party pressure on issues relating to religion, morals or ethics. Motion 312 is the perfect litmus test for the free vote policy; it’s a Private Member’s Motion (MP Stephen Woodworth put it forward, it is not a party bill) and for many Canadians it is a question deeply rooted in morals and ethics. Motion 312 calls on Parliament to form a Committee to study Canada’s Criminal Code definition of when a person becomes a human being. Currently the law states that a child in the womb becomes a human being when they have fully exited from the body of their mother in a living state. It is a lively Motion that will not change the law but encourages healthy debate, a pillar of every free society, and is a great opportunity to prove that we value democratic accountability and freedom of conscience and speech. Whipping the vote will prove the opposite. Bob Rae and Thomas Mulcair have both announced a free vote for their parties on the Motion.
I hope that the Prime Minister follows his policy and allows all Conservative MPs, regardless of their position in the House, to chose how to vote free of pressure or discipline. If we cannot hold to our principles when they are put to the test, what good are they? Sarah Johnson
Approach to aid Un-Canadian Canwood Dear Editor, In light of Minister Bev Oda’s resignation, many have commented on her record as a politician, a minister and an expert on expensive orange juice. However, what has been missing from this commentary is what has happened to our foreign aid under her watch. Under Ms. Oda, Canada’s contribution to foreign aid has declined in absolute and percentage terms, and has moved away from aid for the poorest of the poor and towards countries that can offer political advantage. We are now spending $3.5 billion a year providing little to no help to those who need it most. In my eyes this is distinctly un-Canadian. There has been a longstanding belief in our country that aid C. J.

should not be about what’s in our interest, instead it is about doing the right thing and using our aid dollars the most effective way possible. Minister Oda and the Conservative Government had the opportunity over the past four years to do just that, and to make substantial contribution to the world. Instead they chose to use foreign aid to push their narrow-minded political and economic agenda. As Canadians, we trust our government to spend our money on worthy causes and meaningful initiatives. But it’s hard to make good spending decisions about the poorest of the poor when you’re drinking orange juice at luxury hotels like the Savoy. Yours sincerely, John McKay, MP Liberal Party of Canada

Agriculture Cattle size doesn’t always matter Sometimes a common theme seems to pop up and takes over at times in terms of writing a column on a sector for some 20plus years, and this month it seems to be the changing view of the optimum size of cattle. The Yorkton summer fair a couple of weeks ago brought the moderation in the size of beef cattle into focus for me. It was following the fair I wrote about how show judges at the exhibition were not automatically looking at the biggest animal in the show ring for the red ribbon. It was at the Regional 4-H Beef Show at the Ex’
, Judge Gerry Bertholet talked about moderate frames in his comments, and in heifer classes big females were not always class winners over more moderate-sized ones. And the Saskatchewan Angus Gold show judge Garner Deobold remarked in an interview with this writer about how big might have been the key to winning a decade ago, but it was no longer automatic. He said while small cattle don’t have the efficiencies needed by the industry, and suggested in some situations big can work, moderation is where the industry is now
focused. However, there has at times been a disconnect
conclusion a more moderate-sized cow may well be the more profitable.

When checking pastures this summer, be sure to look closely for foot rot by Kim McLean, PhD, AAg, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture With the excess moisture that we have experienced throughout the spring and now the increased temperatures, it is going to become more important to check our herds regularly for the presence of foot rot. Foot rot is an infection of the skin between the claws of the hoof that can affect sheep, goats and cattle. It occurs when bacteria enters an abrasion or puncture wound caused by things like stubble, small rocks or other abrasive surfaces. This infection causes severe pain, fever, sudden swelling of the hoof and lameness. The toes may be separated due to the swelling between the claws.
Along with this swelling, a foul odour often accompanies this infection. It is important to remember that not all lameness can be contributed to foot rot, and a good look at the hoof is important for accurate diagnosis. Typically the sooner you are able to get a systemic antibiotic like penicillin, oxytetracycline or sulfa drugs into the animal, the quicker you can get rid of this infection. Left untreated, damage could be permanent. Other production impacts may be seen due to the animal being off feed and water. A vaccine to prevent foot rot may be a consideration for the herd sires in your operation. When bulls have foot rot they are not as energetic and as such, their libido may be low-
ered. The fever that also accompanies foot rot in advanced cases may lower the bull’s fertility decreasing in your overall profitability. It will be important to consult with your local veterinarian on an appropriate plan of action for your herd. Animals that are infected will shed bacteria in to the environment which is highly infectious. Isolating these animals from the rest of the herd may be crucial in preventing the spread of disease. Because foot rot is a bacterium, wet areas in humid conditions provide perfect growing conditions for the bacteria. Along with a sound trace mineral program, your best tool of defense against these bacteria may be to ensure that standing water is drained and to potentially avoid
certain pastures that have a large bacterial load present. For more information on this, or other livestock related topics, please contact Kim McLean at (306) 878-8847, or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-4572377 or visit our website at www.agriculture.gov. sk.ca.
run on a quarter section of grass he has divided into small grass cells allowing for rotational grazing. Olynyk said he believes the trend toward bigger cows and calves was made because there was cheap barley through the years to feed them. That is no longer the case, and as cereal crops have risen in value, with a likelihood they will stay higher than in the past, cattleman have to turn back to grass. With an eye to maximizing grass Olynyk said he had always been interested in seeing just how efficient pasture could be by utilizing rotational grazing, the reason fenced 30 paddocks on the quarter section. Olynyk next went looking for some smaller framed cows, ones he

Wholesale trade continues to grow Statistics Canada today released trade figures that indicate Saskatchewan’s wholesale trade increased 13.2 per cent in May 2012 over May 2011, the third highest growth rate in Canada. Wholesale trade totalled $1.985 billion in May 2012 (seasonally adjusted). Wholesale trade was up 6.2 per cent nationally during this period. “With wholesale trade hitting almost $2 billion, it is fair to say our economy has the essential ingredients to continue moving forward,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “We are over double the national increase, and that speaks volumes
about the economic growth happening here in Saskatchewan.” Trade figures also improved on a monthly basis, up 1.7 per cent between April 2012 and May 2012 which is almost double the 0.9 per cent recorded nationally. “These trade numbers are definitely trending in the right direction,” Boyd said. “It helps build confidence in our business community, creates jobs and opportunities in a growing warehouse sector, and contributes to the overall success of Saskatchewan’s economy.”
thought might fit better into a low maintenance system, settling on some belted-Galloway weighing it at about 1000-pounds. “The Galloway go out and graze a couple of hours, then sit down and ruminate,” he said. “The big cows (from the stockyards) have to graze longer.” The smaller cows will not produce the same calf of larger cows, but Olynyk said gross dollars are not the key to profitability. “It’s not how much you get in town at the end, but how much it cost to get there,” he said. And that is of course the key, controlling input costs and maximizing returns, and that is where grass and smaller cows can shine.

We wouldn’t actually be where we are,” said Harley. “Though there are paid employees to do the day to day things, it is really dependent on our volunteers to help with our events.” The afternoon featured the music of Gerald Lanes, Kerri English and others in the regular jam session while artisans set up shop under the tent with samples of their work for sale. Once again, the Friends of Honeywood chipped in by selling cold drinks and ice cream outside with
The sun shone and the rain stayed away as Honeywood Heritage Nursery hosted yet another successful event. More than 450 came through the gate as the Nursery hosted its annual Lilies in Bloom event Sunday July 22. “It was a good day, after all of the worrying about the weather,” said Harley, referring to the many Honeywood events where the sun didn’t shine. Volunteers were also out en masse to ensure that the event went off smoothly. “If we didn’t have that, there is no way we would

The event was also the first to have the Honeywood plaques set up in their new home. A gazebo was built on the site where the site’s Heritage plaque is mounted along with another recognizing donors to Honeywood. Brian Harley, volunteered his time to build the plaque holders just in time for the event.

Bottom right: Exhibitors from across the region displayed their wares under the big tent providing visitors with plenty to behold through the day.

Skarpinsky Detailing changes hands From one family to another, Skarpinsky Detailing is now under new ownership. Cory and Cherie Skarpinsky, who owned and operated the business for past 12 years turned the keys over to Dale Piprell and Crystal Tremain earlier this month. The couple felt that it was time to look for a different venture as the job is a physically demanding one and they weren’t getting any younger. The couple started the business in 2000 as a way to take over the direction of their own futures. Cory had worked for Naber Ford for a number of years and after repeatedly turning away customers from the busy shop who were looking to have their vehicles detailed, he decided to take a risk and become his own boss. “There was a call for cleaning passenger vehicles. I was working at Naber Ford and every time I’d have to turn people away I’d be thinking, ‘We can do this,” said
Cherie Skarpinsky passes the wash wand onto Crystal Tremain while Dale Piprell is passed the wand by Cory Skarpinsky.
Skarpinsky. Piprell and Tremain were looking for a similar opportunity to be their own boss in a business that
they understood. Tremain has a wealth of experience in detailing passenger vehicles after working in that department
at Shellbrook Chevrolet for five years. “The business transition really made sense for us because Cory and

Cherie were a husband and wife team and it’s the same for us and Crystal already has five years of detailing experience under

her belt. It wasn’t something we had to put a lot of thought into because we knew we’d be able to handle it,” said Piprell. Meanwhile, Piprell has the business sense after managing the Shellbrook Tempo for the past few years and will stay on in that capacity. The business boasts one of the few mobile wash units in the region which can be used for cleaning everything from farm machinery to shop floors. Passenger vehicles will be handled out of a shop they have leased in the village of Parkside. They felt that buying an established business with a solid reputation in the industry was important. Because of that, they have opted to keep the name of the business the same to help keep the established client base while hoping to pick up new customers along the way “It’s an established business and everybody knows that they do good work and we want to continue that,” said Piprell.

Canwood 4H Fundraiser and Volunteer Awards Volunteer Service Award
On June 4th, with a standing ovation from the Canwood Beef club, Mrs. Doris Wreford was presented with the Volunteer Service Award, at the NE Regional Show and Sale. Mrs. Wreford was a General leader as well as project leader for the Canwood Multiple 4-H Club for many years. The Canwood Multiple club is proud of Doris and thankful for her previous years of service.
“Charlie” the Charity Steer raises $25,750 for W.P.P. The Canwood 4-H Beef members, leaders, and families worked diligently to promote “Charlie”. The Club took their turn this year to raise the charity steer and they chose the Whispering Pines Place Long-Term Care Home in Canwood as their charity of choice. The home expressed an interest in purchasing a van with a lift for their residents. Our 4-H families are very community-oriented and felt this would be a great charity to raise funds for. They held a BBQ and collected donations from individuals and businesses from Canwood and surrounding area. The Shellbrook Scotia Bank agreed to match the amount raised up to $5000.00. The Club raised $13 000.00 prior to the sale and was able to purchase the steer then redonate it for re-sale. The SGEU then purchased it for $5000.00 and also re-donated it. The final buyer was Parkland Meats from Shellbrook; they bought Charlie for
$2750.00. The grand total for the sale of Charlie was $27 750.00. The WPP provided runners to collect bids for the evening. A very sincere thank-you goes out to CPS & Masterfeeds for supplying the feed for Charlie and all who supported and continue to support this special cause. Special thanks go to our leaders – John Wreford and Ken Aiken for their diligent work in promoting this year’s charity. We are very proud of our club, and our community.

Just be up front about stadium deal By Colin Craig, Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
Whether you like the new stadium deal or despise it, don’t you want your politicians to be straight up about it? Most people on both sides of the fence would say “yes,” but the politicians haven’t been entirely up front about what’s going on. Here’s what you need to know: First, during the press conference about the new stadium, and then during the announcement in front of Rider fans at Mosaic stadium, Premier Wall and Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco seemed to have forgotten to mention one of the more controversial parts of the deal – a new hotel tax in Regina. They may have said it under their breath, but initially no media picked up on that little tidbit. Most found out about the new tax when the news later surfaced in documents going before Regina’s city
council. But there it is in black and white - $80 million will come from a new hotel tax in Regina. Such a tax may have made a bit more sense if it was only charged on game days. But charging people coming in for conventions throughout the entire year to pay for a stadium for a football team that has only ten home games a year is hard to justify. Why should the family of a little old lady, who has never watched a CFL game in her life, have to pay a hotel tax for a stadium when they visit her in December? Or what if an agricultural fair comes to Regina in April? Should attendees from across the province have to pay an added tax even though their event doesn’t use the stadium at all? Council should scrap the hotel tax and further increase the per ticket fee on
Rider tickets (that is already being increased to help pay for the new stadium) or find some true private sector investment for the deal. Speaking of user fees, the Premier and Mayor have maintained the largest contributors of the cost for the new stadium will be its users, but that’s just not true. Of the $278 million deal, only $125 million will come from the Roughriders and the ticket fee Rider fans pay. Once you include the annual cost of maintaining the facility, the users of the facility pay even less as a percentage. Next up, the Premier routinely suggests the province is putting in $80 million for the deal, but if you read the fine print, it’s almost double that amount. The agreement notes the province will put $2.5 million per year into SaskSport’s account. SaskSport will then give that
money to the stadium. Over a 30-year period, through SaskSport, the province is actually putting in another $75 million towards the deal; bringing the province’s total to $155 million. SaskSport will likely never need a 33,000 seat facility for amateur sport, but it’s making for a convenient scapegoat to help justify the deal. It’s not acceptable that taxpayers were completely shut out from having a referendum on the deal or even so much as an open house to provide their input. It’s also disappointing that the Sask Party didn’t say a single word about the stadium in their party’s 2011 platform. But it’s worse that Premier Wall and Mayor Fiacco haven’t been entirely up front with the public. Clearly there is more to this deal than the politicians clad in Rider jerseys led taxpayers to believe.

Hollyhock – perfectly suited for prairie life by Erl Svendsen Introduced to Europe from China, the hollyhock (Alcea rosea) has been a garden mainstay since mediaeval times. In those early gardens, it was grown not just for its beauty but also for its purported medicinal value. Hollyhock preparations were used variously as a moisturizer, a laxative, to control inflammation, to stop bedwetting and as a mouthwash to treat bleeding gums. This is a really tough plant, ideally suited for prairie conditions and busy gardeners. It not only tolerates dry conditions, it thrives on neglect. There’s one patch I know of, growing right against the south side of a down-
town commercial building, sharing space with a gravel parking lot. It gets absolutely no care that I can see and the only water it gets is what falls from the sky. And every year it fails to disappoint, with spectacular pink spires in a thick row along the entire side of the building in late July. This is a plant for the back of the garden, with flower spikes reaching 5 to 7 feet. It is a biennial, meaning that it typically flowers in its second year and then dies. However, if planted early enough in the season it may flower in the first year. Some specimens act as weak perennials lasting more than two years. If left to self-seed, new plants develop guaranteeing consistent flower-
ing year after year, making it seem like a long-lived perennial. Flowers are round and large, usually 2 – 3 inches across, loosely arranged along the tall spikes. Colour-range is wide, from black (darkest purple) to white, and in shades of red, pink, purple, yellow, cream and orange. Flowers are also available as singles (a single row of petals, like a daisy) or semi-doubles and doubles (multiple, overlapping rows of petals). Flowering starts in early July, continuing until early August or later. Hollyhocks seem not to care too much about the soil they find themselves in and grow equally well in sand, loam or clay. But

resistant. Our prairie summers are usually dry, but not in the last 2 or 3 years. In the absence of being able to control the weather, give your hollyhocks plenty of room to allow for good air circulation to minimize humidity. Water your garden early in the day and avoid getting water on the leaves. The tiny rust spores are carried on the wind and by birds and other animals;
there’s little you can do to control that. But you can do something about the spores that potentially come from your own garden. Remove infected leaves if you notice them. In the fall, cut down and remove all plant material. Do not compost. This column is provided by the Saskatchewan Perennial Society (www14. brinkster.com/saskperrennial; hortscene@yahoo. com)

full sun is a must. Avoid using mulch around them for two reasons: first to keep the soil on the dry side, and second to allow for seedlings to establish. The only problem worth noting is leaf rust, a fungal disease. It appears as light yellow-orange spots on the upper surface of leaves in early spring. Eventually, brown pustules develop below the light spots on the underside of the leaves. Pustules may also develop along the stems and green flower parts. In severe cases, leaves dry up and hang downs. An entirely ugly situation. Fungal diseases need three things: a host(s), humid conditions, and a source of infection (spores). In general, hollyhocks are an excellent rust host, but there are resistant types. Single flowered types are supposed to be more resistant than doubles. Also, ‘Black Knight’ (single or semi-double; glossy, burgundy black), ‘Happy Lights’ (single; pastel shades of white, yellow, purple, pink, red), and ‘Pastorale’ (single or semi-double; salmon, softapricot, deep rose) are three cultivars that are rust

Shellbrook hosts Kids in the Kitchen Twenty two children got the opportunity to cook a few meals and learn about nutrition as they took part in the Kids in the Kitchen program at the Shellbrook Community Hall July 17- 19. The program, organized through various community services provided by Prince Albert Parkland Health Region, was designed to provide a foundation for lifelong health eating while pro-
viding an opportunity to develop skills and learn abilities associated with cooking. These include: ·sensory skills through tasting, hearing, touching, smelling and seeing children will be exposed to and identify different foods · Motor skills – being actively involved with food will help large and fine motor skills. As well food preparation enhances
eye – hand coordination · Mathematics – kids will count, measure and follow recipe directions in the food-related activities. · Safety – During food preparation the children were able to learn the importance of safety when dealing with food, utensils and appliances. Also the importance of hand washing was stressed! · Social skills – working with other children gave the kids a sense of
sharing and cooperation and an understanding of how to interact with others in a group · Emotional development – as children learn to make something for themselves, they develop a sense of independence and a positive self image · Language skills – Food activities provide a rich opportunity to learn the names of foods and can also encourage conversa-
Partitipants, coordinators and volunteers of the Kids in the Kitchen program.
tions about food likes, dislikes and experiences children have had with food. The participants were also exposed to foods grown in their own community with a tour of local honey producer Hannigan Honey and the use of sprouting seeds provided by Mumms Sprouting Seeds in Parkside. The kids were taught how to grow sprouts and put them in their wrap sandwiches
and cook with honey making healthy granola bars. The Shellbrook program was organized by Rhonda Miller and Tracy Dupuis of Public Health, Community Dietician Jill Booth as well as the Health Promotion coordinator Larissa Swityk – Conacher. This program was supported by the town of Shellbrook and the Playground Program.
Participants take their turns making healthy pita pizzas.

OBITUARIES ~
SVENDSEN / SCHELSTAD - Esther Clara, June 21, 1921 - July 14, 2012 Esther was born on the Kristiansen family farm near Canwood, Saskatchewan, being delivered by a local midwife. She passed away peacefully, with family at her side, in the early hours of July 14th, at South Okanagan General Hospital in Oliver, B.C. er Esther spent her younger m, years on the family farm, er along with her mother, father and 9 siblings. She left thee g farm in 1939, after marrying AaronViggo Svendsen. Shee gmoved to Osoyoos with Viggo and their young family of 3 d in 1948, when Viggo accepted na position as sawyer at Mountainside Sawmill, just to thee n east of Osoyoos, in Christian lValley. Two additionl children were born, and over thee y following years, the family n became involved in their own er logging, sawmill and planer mill operations. Esther spent a good part of many summers living and looking after her children near the summit of Mount Kobau, at the Svendsen family saw and planer mills located there. Some years after Viggo’s death in 1964, she was reacquainted with an old family friend, and in 1971 she married Melvin Schelstad and returned to Saskatchewan to live on his family’s farm near Canwood. Towards the fall of 1981, after Melvin retired from farming, they returned to Osoyoos to spend their retirement years closer to Esther’s family. Shortly after Melvin passed away in 2000, Esther moved in to the White Sands condominiums and lived there, looking after herself until her death. Esther was predeceased by her mother (Hanna), father (Sedvard), husbands Viggo and Melvin, older sisters Signe and Annie, younger sister Leona, older brothers Helmer and Art, and younger brothers Sigurd and Erling. She is survived by her older sister Krystal (Alberta) and her younger sister Clarice (Saskatchewan), daughter Arlene York (Everett, Wn.), sons Verne, Sidney and Dwayne Svendsen (Osoyoos), and son Kevin Svendsen (Princeton). Esther has 10 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. Over the years, Esther worked as a housewife and a housekeeper. She was employed by the Osoyoos Co-op Packinghouse for some time, and rounded out her working lifetime as a clerk, working in more than one Osoyoos business. There were many family fishing, picnicing, and camping trips to numerous local lakes and streams in Esther’s life. Trips back to Saskatchewan to visit Family and friends were common. A favourite trip for her was when she accompanied her elderly father back to visit family in his home country of Norway. She and Melvin spent an enjoyable time visiting the Islands of Hawaii shortly after being married. A summer trip to Alabama to spend some time with her older sister Signe was thoroughly enjoyed by both sisters. Esther was a longtime member of the Osoyoos United Church. She always looked forward to her Sunday visits with fellow worshippers and with her Lord. She was a past member of the United Church’s Dorcas Unit and church choir. Hobbies and interests included cooking, baking and seeing to it that no one who came for a visit went away hungry. She also enjoyed walking, gardening, knitting, crocheting, reading, camping, crafts, singing and listening to music and songs, working on jigsaw puzzles and dancing. At her granddaughter Jamie’s wedding, held in Osoyoos just prior to her passing, Esther was not only up on the dance floor, but insisting that each of her sons present, were up there with her, trying to keep up. Esther has had a long and rewarding life. She has had a positive and lasting influence on all of those who were fortunate enough to have met her. She is now at peace, with her Lord. At Esther’s request, she is to be cremated. A family, graveside urn internment and committal was held on Friday, July 27th at 11:00 a.m. at the Osoyoos Lakeview Cemetery. A ‘Celebration of Esther’s Life’ will take place on Saturday, July 28th at 11:00 a.m., at the Osoyoos United Church. In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully accepted for: Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. (4 -1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 9M9); B.C. Cancer Foundation (399 Royal Ave., Kelowna, B.C.

Canadian coach guides Tiger’s comeback Statues are built for some coaches. Some have had stadiums named after them. A handful have been honoured with Hall of Fame selections. But generally, it’s sad but true: Coaches are hired to be fired. Coaches are generally necessary, but unimportant components of successful teams. “I couldn’t have done it without the players” is a familiar joke among coaches who know that good players tend to make ordinary coaches good and good coaches great. Undoubtedly the sports coach with the highest profile in North America today is not in the NFL, NHL, NBA or Major League Baseball. The coach faced with the glare of the brightest spotlight in sports today is a Canadian who steers the swing of the world’s most famous golfer, Tiger Woods. His name is Sean Foley, a Torontonian who uses some unique golf ideas and some unusual philosophical approaches to steer his stable of golfers, which also includes Hunter Mah-
an and Justin Rose, both of whom are ranked among the world’s Top 15, as is Woods. Coaching Woods is not easy. Foley has gone from the equivalent of behind the scenes on golf ranges to Hollywood, where Tiger’s every swing tweak is analyzed, dissected and discussed by the golf industry. If Tiger plays well, Foley is a genius. If things go bad in Tigerland, the tabloids may be calling for his head. Rose says Foley is “technical without being mechanical,” according to a story on golfworld.com. Oddly, Foley attended Tennessee State, a predominately black college, on a golf scholarship, but always felt more comfortable on the range, working on his game and others’, than on the course. The golfworld.com story quoted his TSU roommate saying Foley kept a black garbage bag in his room filled with clippings of instruction articles. His instruction dream led to a job at Glen Abbey, near Toronto, and he started helping Canadian Stephen Ames on
the range one day. “ . . . He changed what I’d been trying to change for years,” Ames told golfworld.com
all, this celebratory gesture lost its appeal about 2,700 gallons of Gatorade ago. Second of all, I’d consid-
Through Ames, Foley got to the inside of the PGA Tour and while Woods was going through coaches Butch Harmon and Hank Haney, he was on his way to reaching the low point in his golf career. Now that Foley has helped Woods get back on his game, the Canadian is getting much of the credit for the resurgence. While Foley stands only 5-foot-7, he is becoming a big, big man in the world of golf. • Among the stupid things in sports, by Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “Football players dumping Gatorade on their coach in the waning moments of a victory. First of
er it more appropriate to dump Gatorade on a coach after losing a game.” • Howard Rosenblatt of Albany, N.Y., as seen in Norman Chad’s ‘Slouch’ column: “If MLB’s AllStar Game had ended in a tie, would the seventh game of the World Series have been played at a neutral site?“ • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, via Twitter: “Next, preOlympics, U.S. hoopsters play Britain. That’s like prepping for the Henley Regatta by stirring your coffee vigorously.” • Ostler again, on Twitter: “Rex Ryan loses 100 pounds. Says it’s now
much easier to get his foot into his mouth.” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Bobby Bowden said Penn State should take down the statue of Joe Paterno. Either that or maybe just position it so that it is constantly looking the other way.” • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “New York Post lays off its 32-person Jeremy Lin pun staff.” • Len Berman of ThatsSports.com, on reports that Olympic beach volleyballers might trade in their skimpy bikinis for leggings and sleeves because of cold-weather forecasts: “I think we’re about to find out who the real fans of beach volleyball are.” • Larry Bird, via Twitter, on Kobe Bryant’s claims that this year’s U.S. Olympic basketballers could beat the legendary 1992 Dream Team: “They probably could. I haven’t played in 20 years, and we’re all old now.” • NBC’s Jimmy Fallon, on Saints QB Drew Brees getting $60 million guaranteed of his five-year,

$100 million contract: “That’s even better than Katie Holmes’s deal.” •Sportscaster Paul Romanuk, via Twitter, before Andy Murray played in the Wimbledon men’s singles final: “Good luck to Murray — British to the English if he wins, a Scot if he loses.” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, after Roger Federer beat Murray for his record-tying seventh Wimbledon title: “He has done better on grass than Willie Nelson.” • R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The Winnipeg Blue Bombers roster includes a Buck and a Doe. Which must be great news to the Als’ Aaron Hunt.” • Kaseberg again: “You know those snappy Ralph Lauren blue blazers and matching berets our Olympic team is wearing at the Opening Ceremonies? Made in China. But don’t worry, the steroids they’re on were made in the USA.” Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@ yahoo.ca

Big River hosts Midget ‘C’ tournament On the weekend of July 13 – 15, 2012 Big River Minor Sports hosted the Under 18 Midget ‘C’ provincial softball tournament. Five teams competed for the provincial title: Big River Blackhawks, Martensville Magic, Northeast Rebelz, Rosetown Angels and Saskatoon Magic Selects. The tournament started at noon on Friday. Opening ceremonies took place Friday evening with Mayor Brian Brownfield welcoming the teams to Big River. Big River team member Stephanie Lloyd sang O’ Canada and Shirley Schwabb threw the opening pitch in memory of Richard Burt.
The teams played hard and provided the community with excellent ball games throughout the weekend. We even had fans from Australia in attendance! The weather cooperated throughout the weekend until it came time for the gold medal game on Sunday when the game had to be delayed for an hour due to rain. Northeast Rebelz and Saskatoon Magic Selects played for gold. It was a close game and ended 7 – 6 for Northeast. The Northeast Rebelz went undefeated in the tournament. Congratulations Northeast Rebelz on your Gold Medal and Saskatoon Magic Selects on their Silver Medal! Provincial gold

89 per cent of patients get surgery within 6 months About 89 per cent of patients waiting for surgery in Saskatchewan are receiving it within six months, wait times statistics show. The health system’s goal for 201213 is to provide all patients an offer of surgery within six months. “We are making progress. We all look forward to the day when long surgical wait times are a distant memory,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “I want to thank the health professionals, operating room teams, surgeons, the Ministry of Health, the health regions and everyone else involved in improving surgical care in Saskatchewan.” “There were 3,995 people waiting more than 12 months for surgery when the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative was announced in April 2010. That number was down to 913 by May 2012,” Duncan said. The number of cases with waits longer than six months dropped 55 per cent from 9,873 in April 2010 to 4,451 in May 2012, he added. Since November 2007, the number of patients waiting more than a year for surgery has dropped 82 per cent. During that
same time, the number waiting more than six months has dropped 58 per cent. Underscoring the urgency of meeting this year’s six-month-wait target, Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region recently announced a Revised 2012-13 Surgical Initiative Plan that will increase the number of surgeries performed in the health region from 22,700 in 2011-12 to 27,000 this fiscal year. Beginning this fall, surgical wait times information will get more precise, indicating how many people had surgery offered to them within a particular timeframe. The overall goal of the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative is to improve surgical patients’ experiences and by March 31, 2014 to provide all patients with the option of having elective surgery within three months. A small percentage of patients are offered surgery but choose to reschedule until later. More information about the Surgical Initiative can be found at www.health. gov.sk.ca/surgical-initiative. Wait time data and other information for patients is available at www.sasksurgery.ca.

A vision for the future of health care By John G. Abbott, CEO, Health Council of Canada I have the good fortune to take part in many conversations about the future of Canada’s health care system. I am an optimist by nature, so I certainly see the glass as more than half-full when it comes to the potential for improving how we deliver health care across this country. One of the gaps in today’s dialogue on the future of the Canadian health care system is that we don’t have a vision of what we want to achieve. I’d like to see our vision for health care to be that we will have the best health care system with the healthiest population in the world. Declaring this vision would leave no one in doubt as to what we want to achieve. Just as we promote Canada internationally as having the best financial system, shouldn’t we want the same for our health care system, especially since we have all the requisites to be able to achieve this vision? The advantage of declaring a vision for Canada’s health care system is that it would focus our
reform efforts at every level of the system. At the same time, each health organization, provider, and ministry would have the responsibility of holding one another accountable for achieving this vision. Canadians-as patients and taxpayers-would have a direct role as well, by being more engaged and living healthier. To achieve this vision, we will need a ‘whole of society’ approach to health. So, what can the Health Council do to create this vision and see it realized? First, we can strengthen our public reporting role and draw attention to the best performing systems, either in Canada or around the world. We can identify and promote innovative practices, showing how they work and how they can be implemented more extensively. We can bring greater clarity and transparency to any discussion on the important health care issues and suggest ways to address them. And, we can encourage the evidencebased transformation that we all know needs to happen in the system. Finally, we should ex-

pect leadership and demand it from our ministers, health administrators, and clinicians. Without leadership, our system will remain complacent and the opportunities for improvement will remain unfulfilled. There is a way forward for our health care system. It will require clear and specific direction from our leaders, a commitment to change, and a high degree of determination to achieve results. But it is possible. At the 2010 Winter Olympics, we both set a goal as a nation and set about achieving it because we knew we could. Now it is time to do the same for our health care system and the Canadians it serves each and every day.
PA bridge to allow scheduled overwidth loads starting July 26 The City of Prince Albert would like to advise motorists that starting on Thursday, July 26th, overwidth loads to a maximum of 22 feet will be allowed to cross the Diefenbaker Bridge on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 10:00 am. Overwidth Loads travelling north will be accommodated first, followed by southbound loads. All haulers must schedule an appointment with the Public Works Department by calling 953-4900. In order to allow the wide loads to cross safely, the bridge will be closed to all other traffic while the wide loads are escorted across the bridge. This will result in some traffic delays. Wide loads will be staged on the outskirts of the City. Haulers will be provided with more details when the appointment is scheduled and are reminded that appointments will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Annual permit holders must contact the Public Works Department to schedule an appointment for hauling.

My wife and I recently made the decision to sell our 5 quarters of farmland between Semans and Nokomis, Saskatchewan and we were very pleased with the service that was given to us by Doug Rue. His agricultural background and his business acumen made him the perfect fit for us in terms of completing a “worry-free” transaction. The process was swift and easy and we were more than pleased with the price we received for the land. I particularly enjoyed my conversations with Doug and his attention to detail with respect to following up with us.
