Shellbrook Museum may close without more interest The Shellbrook Museum is need of volunteers and visitors if it is to continue beyond this year according to the committee behind its operation.

According to committee member Shirley Tomporowski, the museum, at the south end of Main Street, saw few visitors last year and has to be better utilized or it will close its doors for good.

Located in the former CN Station, the museum features items ranging from World War I artifacts to antique organs .

The committee is in the process of relabeling the and cataloguing the vast number of items in the museum but it is a slow process due to the small number of members.

“Our committee is very small and we are always looking for folks who are interested in preserving the museum and

its contents. At present, we have a group who try to clean and put things in place but we need more volunteers to help,” said Tomporowski.

The upstairs of the museum is made up into a master bedroom for a man, a master bedroom for a woman and also a sewing room featuring historic items donated to the museum.

The main floor includes general artifacts from days gone by and specific displays for the Shellbrook Royal Canadian Legion, Shellbrook Elks Lodge and an area recognizing Shellbrook’s role in introducing Polish Rapeseed to Canada.

Tomporowski noted that the committee has discussed the possibility of returning some of the items, like photo albums, from their display back to the Shellbrook Legion to help make room for more dis-

plays within the cramped quarters and make them more accessible to those interested in viewing them.

“The (Legion) Hall gets used far more than this place does. We still want an area for the veterans, just not as big an area,” said Tomporowski.

In a departure from previous operations, the museum will employ a part time worker a few hours as well as volunteers to ensure that the facility will be open weekly.

Scheduled hours for the Museum will be Fridays and Sundays from 2-4 p.m. through July and August. Additional times will be posted on the Town’s website, www.shellbrook.net The Shellbrook Senior’s club has been instrumental in the facility’s operation over the years as they provided workers

and materials.

With little funds for operation, the museum is dependent on donations from those passing through in order to make the necessary upgrades to keep the building functional. The building recently received some new windows and a PAA class from W.P. Sandin High School framed and drywalled a room in the west end of the building.

The committee is gearing up for the Shellbrook Street Fair August 25 and are currently looking for people interested helping out around the museum to make the displays a little more interactive.

Some possibilities include people to play the pump organ, spinning on one of the spinning wheels on display or explaining some of the “old timer” equipment to those of younger generations.

Sask sets record for April building permits April building permits reached their highest value in Saskatchewan history, according to Statistics Canada. April building permits totalled $254 million (seasonally unadjusted).

“Every building permit represents a business space or home where Saskatchewan people will be able to work and raise a family,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “People from around the world are coming to Saskatchewan and new neighbourhoods and office buildings are going up across the province to meet that demand.”

Saskatchewan residential building permits in April shot up by 52.5 per cent over the previous year (seasonally adjusted). That growth was more than five times higher than the national average increase of 9.6 per cent. On an annual basis, the total amount of building permits were up by 29.7 per cent.

“Saskatchewan continues to grow and set records and today’s building permit numbers reinforce that point,” Boyd said.

They blew up the team and didn’t even tell us The fact dawned on my early last week while hosting my radio show and chatting with Leader Post football writer Ian Hamilton. After gutting nearly every position on the field and replacing more than half of the coaching staff, the Saskatchewan Roughriders blew up their franchise from last year without notifying us of their intentions.

After a 5-13 season in 2011, who could blame

them?

No kids, these aren’t your Mom and Dad’s Saskatchewan Roughriders.

With training camp beginning this week at the University of Regina, let’s recap a busy off-season: • All back-up quarterbacks behind Darian Durant were set free leaving four QBs with no CFL experience to battle it out in training camp for two spots.

• Three starters on the

Rider Insider With the Voice of The Riders, Rod Pedersen offensive line (LT Alex Gauthier, LG Gene Makowsky and C Marc Parenteau) all left for various

reasons and were replaced

by LG Brendon Labatte and C Dominic Picard in free agency. The Left Tackle spot, the “blindside”, will be fought for in camp.

• The franchise’s second all-time leading rusher, Wes Cates, was released in the off-season leaving former NFLers Kory Sheets and Louis Rankin along with incumbent Brandon West to fight for the starting job.

• Popular slotback Andy Fantuz was allowed to walk in free agency and no one seemed to care.

• Three-quarters of the defensive line will be new.

Only DT Keith Shologan remains but you may have heard of Odell Willis, the controversial rush end who

came over in a trade with Winnipeg this winter.

• ALL three linebacker spots are open with the departures of Jerrell Freeman, Barrin Simpson and Sean Lucas in the off-season.

• The defensive secondary is the only spot which could be unchanged with all five starters from last year’s final game back for another year.

• And who could forget about the coaching staff?

Greg Marshall and Ken Miller split the role of head coach last year but both are out of the game this season.

Rookie head coach Corey Chamblin, who turned 35 last week, has assembled an all-star cast on his staff.

MATCHING FUNDS -- Patty Miller, left, of the Shellbrook Scotiabank presents a cheque to Karen Larsen and Karin Strube of the Foxdale Coop Association, along with fellow Scotiabank staffers Shelley Kennedy and Jason Bucknell. The $2,014 cheque matches funds raised at the annual spring dance at the Foxdale Hall April 26 with funds raised going toward the ongoing upkeep of the hall. Strube, at 90 years old, is the oldest active member of the Foxdale Community Association.

TSN’s Matt Dunigan said it reads like a “Who’s Who” of the CFL including Khari Jones, Jason Tucker and Barron Miles. But don’t be fooled; the coordinators (Bob Dyce on offense and Richie Hall on defense) are holdovers from last year providing continuity and stability.

So there you go. They thought they could sneak it by us but we’re too wise!

For whatever reason teams in all sports at all levels are deathly afraid of the term “rebuild” and perhaps that’s why you’ve never heard that term used by GM Brendan Taman over the past six months.

Opinions The dangers of too much fame After reading a recent online story about the backstage wants and needs of musicians I’ve come to the conclusion that wealth and fame can be very damaging to one’s character.

These riders, additional conditions of the performer’s contract, range from very specific décor and paint colours (Jennifer Lopez) in their dressing room to vehicles making their way to the concert venue being prohibited from being delayed by traffic (Christina Aguilara).

Rap artist 50 Cent demands a box of Cuban cigars from every venue he performs at, even though they are illegal in the United States. Ja Rule insists that if lodgings are provided for the driver of the tour bus, they must be on separate floor from the artist. Meanwhile, Sir Paul McCarney requires that there be 19 6 foot tall leafy plants and 4, 4 foot leafy plants in his dressing room along with vegetarian catering.

Maybe some of these spoiled brats are simply jerking the chain of those that hired them but it seems for the most part they just think that they are that important.

The Foo Fighters have been noted in the past for poking fun at the trend of outrageous rider requests over the years and decided to take steps further for last year’s world tour. The band published their rider in the form of a 52 page illustrated book titled “Field guide to Food Coloring Book and Activity Pages” complete with meal suggestions like “Lame Entree = sandwich with a side of rocks, Awesome Entree = grilled meat, veggies and a baked potato.

In the 1980s, Van Halen compiled a 53 page rider listing demands like four cases of Schlitz Malt Liquor Beer in 16 oz cans and topped it off with bags of M & Ms, minus the undesirable brown ones.. This thrown in there apparently just to make sure concert promoters were actually taking the time to read the rider.

The trouble with being a celebrity is there is no limits to how weird people around you will allow you to become. These folks could have millions of adoring fans and are making millions of dollars and the hangers-on simply feel lucky to be along for the ride and tend to tell them what ever they want to hear. Ultimately, they rely on their famous friend/boss being happy with them.

“Was I wrong to beat my personal assistant with a phone?”

“No, who the heck can’t tell the difference between a full fat and non-fat latte?”

Concert promoters do what they have to do to book the acts, which generally means lucrative fees for performances and providing what ever is asked for on concert day.

Without strong character, all of these yes-men and yes-women giving these celebrities their every wish without holding them accountable just feeds the monster.

Kids are the same way. If we cater to our children’s every whim and never tell them no, they grow up with a sense of entitlement.

The Paul Martin Commentary What’s your reputation or integrity worth? How does a business value its brand?

Questions of this type are growing in importance, based on a report released from Statistics Canada. The federal agency tried to measure the impact of investing in things like advertising or management systems. They call it investing in intangibles.

And, it turns out, this is big business for business. Roughly two-thirds of the money being invested by the commercial sector is now categorized as intangible and it has helped improve labor productivity.

The organization says Canadian enterprise pumped about $150 billion in this area in 2008 and it was responsible for 40 per cent of the productivity improvements we experienced.

This is particularly interesting in a world where the primary financial suppliers – banks – are secured lenders which means they like to hold tangible security to backstop their loans. That’s like pledging your house to secure a mortgage. But when more and more of the commercial sector’s investments are going into intangibles, finding ways to secure knowledge represent the new challenge. *** As the leading edge of the baby boom generation inches its way to retirement, it turns out many of those in the middle of the pack can`t wait to get there.

A survey by the Royal Bank found that nearly threequarters of pre-retirement boomers are anxious to get on with life after work. The problem is…they don`t know if they can finance it.

The survey made a couple of interesting discoveries.

First, it seems the cost of retiring is going up. A year

Paul Martin

ago, retirees said they needed 56 per cent of their working income to sustain life in the slow lane. This year that number went up to 60 per cent.

As a result nearly 40 per cent of those surveyed were worried they would not have sufficient cash flow to cover their bills. Actually it is hard for some of them to even make an educated guess on how much they will need. That`s because many of those on the verge of leaving the workforce have not even made a budget so they don`t really know what it will cost to make ends meet in retirement. *** Much has been made lately of the rising middle class in nations like India and China and how their emergence has vaulted Saskatchewan`s economy to the top of the pack in this country. An emerging middle class – people with new-found purchasing power – are demanding a better diet, one rich with protein. And that has given agriculture a big boost and with it has been a huge lift for the potash industry and demand for fertilizer.

Well it turns out that the new middle class might actually be bigger than we originally thought.

That from Mark Perry, an economics professor at Flint Michigan. He has developed a new tool for measuring the size of the world`s middle class – automobile ownership. He says the traditional method based on income levels is out of date and if you use his new barometer, the size of the middle class globally is roughly 50 per cent higher than originally forecast and 70 emerging countries are rapidly reaching the point where they will have a middle class….and people with the purchasing power to buy the ultimate luxury – a car.

Viewpoint Rural Sask. survived shuffle At first glance, rural Saskatchewan, the smaller cities and the north might appear to be the big loser in Premier Brad Wall’s recent cabinet shuffle.

Consider the evidence: There are three new (or returning) rural MLAs entering cabinet in new Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart (Thunder Creek), Central Services Minister Nancy Heppner (Rosthern) and Rural and Remote Health Minister Randy Weekes (Biggar). But except for Stewart in agriculture (and one fully expects the minister of agriculture in Saskatchewan to be from the country) these new rural ministers aren’t taking on the larger portfolios.

Conversely, new urban cabinet ministers _ including Regina Douglas Park’s Russ Marchuk in education and Saskatoon Northwest’s Gord Wyant in Justice whose portfolio is classified as one of the three super ministries _ are immediately taking on bigger roles.

One might even suggest the newer rural cabinet ministers have less responsibility than out-going rural ministers Bob Bjornerud (agriculture), Jeremy Harrison (enterprise) and Yogi Huyghebaert (corrections and public safety). After all, Weekes’s new job would seem to be one

without much spending authority and Heppner new portfolio does seems to be little more than a glorified version of the old Government Services office.

Speaking of Heppner, she is now arguably the most northern minister in the province with the demotion of Meadow Lake’s Harrison outt of the cabinet room.

And if rural Saskatchewan or the north didn’t seem to fare particularly well in this shuffle, smaller cities arguably fared worse with Meadow Lake (Harrison) and Prince Albert (Darryl Hickie) losing their cabinet table representations.

Strangely, most of Saskatchewan’s smaller cities Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Meadow Lake, Estevan and Yorkton will all be without cabinet representation now _ this despite the fact that the Saskatchewan Party controls the majority of seats in every area in the province including all 29 rural Saskatchewan seats.

But the thing about cabinet shuffles

is that they are complex beasts and often require more than a single glance to full appreciate their scope. And when you do step back and look at the bigger picture, rural Saskatchewan actually came out okay.

For starters, 11 of the 18 cabinet ministers (including Swift Current’s Brad Wall) are from what are traditionally described as rural seats. Any time you have a comfortable majority in cabinet, your issues will be heard at the cabinet table.

Notwithstanding the fact that some rural ministers lost some hefty portfolios (Don McMorris in health and Donna Harpauer in education), rural members are entrenched in nearly all the key cabinet seats. Besides Wall, Ken Krawetz in finance, and June Draude in social services, rural MLAs take on hefty responsibilities like Weyburn-Big Muddy’s Dustin Duncan in health (at the unheard of age of 32 years) Harpauer as Crown Investment Corp. Minister, Jim Reiter as Minister

of Intergovernmental Affairs, and Tim McMillan as Energy Minister. One could certainly add to the list of cabinet heavyweights Stewart in agriculture and perhaps even McMorris in highways, given his additional individual Crown corporation responsibilities.

But the minister that surely can’t be overlooked is Kindersley’s Bill Boyd who, as the new super minister of the economy with McMillan working under him. Similarly, Duncan as health minister will have under him Weekes who will serve in the intriguing new rural and remote health issues portfolio.

And it’s quite possible that Weekes’s portfolio represents the biggest win for rural Saskatchewan _ depending on what he is able to accomplish. Not since the NDP days of rural development ministers (who usually weren’t exactly cabinet heavyweights, anyway) have we seen a Premier assign a minister to deal with what strictly amounts to rural-specific issues.

Perhaps this new posting won’t be much of anything, but the potential is certainly there.

So, all in all, it might have been a far better cabinet shuffle for rural Saskatchewan than it first seemed.

Letters to the Editor

Angry youth a symptom of lost trust Dear Editor: How long do you think it will take for the Establishment to realize that the “Occupy Movement” and “The Vancouver Riots” and “The Montreal Students’ Uproar” and “Non-participation by Youths during elections” are all signs of Youth activism based on their loss of trust and confidence in the system?

I suggest that our Youth are legitimately questioning why they should sacrifice to get us out of the economic hole we’re in; the very hole that the spoiled brat boomers ahead of them created.

I’m a retired school teacher/principal and former college instructor. I’m also at the front end of the boomer age range, born in 1945. As university undergraduate starting at age 17 in Regina during the 1960s, I was truly a “flower child of the 60s.”

Many say that the “flower child” movement was based on us having been raised differently than our previous generations, not just by our parents but by society and our environment as a whole. We grew up in a time of relative security, economic prosperity and peace. The

Depression of the 1930s was over as were the 2nd World War and Korean Conflict. Things were good and expectations were high. We expected lots. We also were not afraid. We could quit university or even high school in the morning and have the choice of 4 or 5 paying jobs in our home community by sundown. So many people were taking on jobs instead of going to university that the University of Saskatchewan lowered its admission average for grade 12 marks to 65 percent, and to 60 percent for at least one year. I know, because I got into university with a 60.4 percent grade 12 average.

Like many others, I took leadership roles in campus politics and became one of many quite disillusioned campus youths. More than any previous generation and buoyed with confidence, we questioned and challenged authority; and did not just accept stuff. Our perception was that the “Establishment” wasn’t listening to us, and wanted us to do what we were told, get into line, and accept the status quo. To wait our turn. That bred underlying resentment and anger.

That resentment and anger, based on unfulfilled ex-

pectations and being misled, was the root for our taking on issues as causes to express ourselves. It drove us to think critically, to verbalize and share our thoughts, to meet and conspire, to assemble on mass, and to protest by assembly and or by marching. At least that made us feel respected and less victimized by the “Establishment.” It felt good.

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month Be a winner and wear a helmet!

That’s the message the Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association (SBIA) and its honorary spokesperson, Saskatchewan Roughriders President and CEO Jim Hopson, wish to advance for Brain Injury Awareness Month 2012.

Brain Injury Awareness Month is recognized nationally every June.

Brain injuries are preventable yet sadly, 2200 people in Saskatchewan acquire a brain injury each year.

We believe this is 2200

too many.

So this year, the focus is on prevention with the Save Your Melon! campaign to promote the use of helmets , a campaign launched by Jim Hopson as his first act in the role of Honorary spokesperson for SBIA. “We need to get the message out to kids and adults that we should be wearing our helmets when we’re riding our bikes or when we’re skateboarding; any activity that involves a risk to the head,” Hopson said. “You only have one brain. Why

Hospital Auxiliary news The Shellbrook Hospital Auxiliary met with 12 members present for the dinner meeting at Red Lion Restaurant.

New Business May 31st - Yard Sale at Nursing Home.

Auxiliary was asked if they could help price items and help with the hot dog sale - 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.

June 1st - Auxiliary will help with planting garden at Parkland Terrace.

not protect it?”

It’s simple: wear a helmet to reduce your risk of brain injury when you are outside doing any activity that could involve a fall or moving faster than you can run – whether cycling, skiing, boarding or roller-

blading. It requires little effort and the benefits far outweigh the hassles.

Because brain injury is the NUMBER ONE killer and disabler of children and young people, the Save Your Melon! campaign makes a serious

point in a light hearted way. In partnership with Workers Compensation Board (WCB) SBIA will be giving away customized watermelon helmets through draws at displays around the province this summer. Not only are

these helmets less sticky than the watermelon shells donned by Rider fans, they offer protection along with the “cool” factor.

Even one brain injury is a brain injury too many.

Angry youth symptom of lost trust

Continued from page 5

There were lots of causes we could have adopted. Some that we ended up with were the Vietnam War (which hardly involved Canada), the rise of prices in the campus cafeteria and the bookstore, alleged undercover RCMP hanging around campus trying to catch students in possession of nickel bags of marijuana, government undermining of LSD research, or whatever.

If it was against the “Establishment,” we were easily for it. We found issues that we made into causes through which we could express our general frustration about how the rich and powerful were getting richer and more powerful while we were not being given what we expected, more respect for our hopes and dreams.

Remember, in those days a boy or a man could join the military, go

to war at age 17, and possibly get killed - but could not legally enter a bar until he was 21. Women couldn’t go into the bar at all.

I see the conflicts and frustrations for Youth as the same today. Generally speaking, young Canadians (others around the western world too) are pessimistic about their personal futures. They’re told to get an education and to be patient and they’ll go far and enjoy the “good life.”

But as they progress in and finish their post-secondary training, they hear all about high unemployment and underemployment. Their hopes and dreams are dimmed. Then they hear all about corporate greed, lobbied and dishonest politicians, cover ups, police brutality, cut backs to social programs, and sweetheart deals for the who’s who. They feel duped.

Next they end up driving cabs, working seasonal or drudge jobs, and

12062MF01

even in welfare lines. And finally, unable to afford to live on their own, they have live with or move back in with their parents - diplomas, baccalaureates, masters and doctorates in hand. They’re no better off. Often they’re worse off having wasted years of their time while accumulating debts like huge student loans.

Their dreams are dashed and they’re damn mad about it.

If they’re like we were 45 years ago, they may not even realize what their underlying anger is all about.

Keep an eye on the Quebec students and supporters. Pretty soon the “tuition fee increase” issue will slide into the background. Whether or not the real root reasons for the unrest come to the fore is another story.

You’re welcome.

Agriculture Seeding advances speed up process This has been an interesting spring for farmers on the Prairies, although I am sure farmers might suggest most springs have their share of challenges.

Certainly back in March it looked as though farmers were on the verge of an early spring. That is always a good thing since it has been shown most crops have more potential to produce if they are seeded early.

Of course April saw the chance of a lot of early seeded crop go by the wayside, and May was only slightly better, with rain an all too regular occurrence.

It was not the sheer amount of rain which fell, but the fact the rain fell on already saturated soil. The last two years have been abnormally wet in most areas, and coming into spring it remained so.

Yet as we now drive around we see much of the crop is in the ground.

The situation is one which speaks to

the dramatic change which has taken place in farming in terms of seeding crop.

When I was a youngster growing up in the 1960s, farmers planted half their crop, leaving the other half fallow.

My father, and most proOn Agriculture ducers at that time, used press drills to plant a crop. The press drill required a basically level, summerfallow field in which to seed. That meant farmers had to use cultivators to turn under stubble, and harrows to smooth fields first.

It meant farmers had to make several passes over a field before seeding was complete.

Calvin Daniels

Technology has changed that.

Developments in seeding technology, much of it by short-line manufacturers here in Saskatchewan, have allowed producers to turn to direct seeding.

The switch over has had a two-fold effect on farming.

On the one hand direct seeding, the ability to seed into standing stubble left from the previous year’s crop, has reduced the potential impact of wind and water erosion on fields. The stubble protects the soil from being impacted by the effects of wind blowing over the land, or water running over it.

The other benefit of direct seeding is the speed in which farmers can now plant a crop. In most cases it is a one-pass operation. With the size of equipment that means farmers plant a lot of acres in a single day.

That is why you can drive around this week, and in spite of a fairly short window in terms of dry weather farmers have managed to put in a lot of acres. One conversation I had with a retired farmer a week ago. He still helps on an area farm, and estimated seeding was 50 per cent complete. Given the good weather the last week, that will be much higher by now, and if the weather holds seeding, while later than originally expected, should be completed.

It is a rather amazing occurrence given the spring we have had, but it does illustrate the advancements which have been made in recent years.

When to open the pasture gate in the spring

by Linda Hunt, AAg. Regional Forage Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture The decision on when to open the gates in the spring is one not to be taken lightly. Early spring is when pasture plants are the most venerable to injury.

They are coming out of a winter long dormancy and will rely heavily on root reserves to initiate spring growth. Grazing a pasture at its most vulnerable time reduces plant vigor and provides opportunity for invasive weeds. Fortunately like most things on the farm, these effects can be mitigated with planning and management.

First, allow the pasture grazed in early spring to recover all summer by deferring the regrowth until mid summer or fall. This way the plants have ample time to recover and replen-

ish root reserves keeping them competitive with invasive weeds. As an added bonus, the early grazed pastures will mature later providing higher quality forage later in the season.

Second, decide in the fall which pasture you will use first in the spring of the following year, and allow the fall green up to go ungrazed. The cool season perennial grasses typically grown in Saskatchewan produce tillers in the fall as a way of preparing for early spring growth. Fall tillers initiated by seasonal rains will stay green under the snow and be ready to go as soon as it warms up in the spring.

Third, rotate which pasture is grazed first every year. This will allow pastures to recover fully and give them a few years of ideal management to build up root reserves

and out compete invasive weeds.

Fourth, match your stocking rate to your average production. In other words, think of your pastures as a hay yard. It would be foolish to buy more cattle to winter without also buying more hay to feed them. It is just as foolish to add more cattle to a grazing operation without increasing the average yearly production.

Just as you can gain some feed efficiency by using a bale buster and a feeder, you can gain feed efficiency by tweaking your rotational grazing system.

However you cannot feed more cattle without buying more bales, and you cannot graze more cattle without providing more pasture.

The bottom line is there is no right or wrong time to start grazing in the spring

Saskatchewan Crop Report Seventy-four per cent of the 2012 crop has been seeded according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report.

The five-year (2007-2011) average for this time of year is approximately 70 per cent seeded.

Seventy-one per cent of the crop is seeded in the southeast, 80 per cent in the southwest, 59 per cent in the east-central area, 73 per cent in the west-central area, 80 per cent in the northeast and 86 per cent in the northwest.

A large amount of precipitation across the province has stopped seeding for a couple of days to a week. Precipitation varied from less than one inch to over four inches in some areas. Producers in southern and eastern regions are dealing with

very wet soil conditions.

Topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 40 per cent surplus and 60 per cent adequate. Hay and pasture topsoil moisture is 26 per cent surplus, 73 per cent adequate and one per cent short.

Seventy-eight per cent of the fall cereals, 52 per cent of the spring cereals, 49 per cent of the oilseeds and 53 per cent of the pulses are at normal stages of development for this time of year. The majority of crops that have emerged are in good to excellent condition. Most crop damage this week is due to excess moisture and frost.

Farmers are busy controlling weeds and trying to finish seeding.

grazed in the fall. Managing pastures for plant vigor and keeping root reserves full will give you more flexibility to start early on years with early springs.

Quiet year for 2012 Artisan’s Tour

After a quieter 2012 tour, the Parkland Artisans Tour will be pushing back their date for 2013 by a week.

This year’s event saw lower than average traffic and organizers say it boils down to the fact that summer is a busy time for everyone. Next year’s tour will take place June 8 and 9.

According to tour member Pat Grayston, it is difficult to find a weekend where they won’t be in conflict with other events.

“You can’t have everything in one weekend

and expect that people are going to out to everything,” said Grayston.

Though numbers were down, Grayston was surprised by the fact that people ventured out in the heavy winds Sunday.

“Numbers were down, but those that came were very interested. We were amazed that people still ventured out on Sunday with the extreme wind conditions,” said Grayston.

Following a down year, the group is looking for suggestions from the public on just how to make the tour better.

“We always are open to new artists, providing we have sufficient venues to host them, especially those with types of art that others on the tour are not providing,” said Grayston.

This year’s tour was somewhat condensed with some previous exhibitors opting not to participate and the number of venues dropped down to four.

Though there were

fewer stops, there was more to see at every venue.

Though Friday night’s Hootenany on the Hill drew smaller than usual crowds, Sunday afternoon’s opening of the pit had a typical turnout with many curious observers wanting to check out the newly pitfired designs.

The group will also be looking to get people excited about what the tour has to offer with a booth at the Shellbrook Street Fair, August 25.

Anyone interested in getting involved with the tour can contact a tour member before September to book their spot.

Taking care of your lawn in the spring

By Erl Svendsen Spring has finally arrived and if your lawn is like mine, it’s already started growing and in need of mowing. There a few other lawn maintenance activities that can be done now to promote a healthy lawn.

Dethatching: The thatch layer is an organic layer next to the soil surface composed of dead grass clippings. A thatch layer is important to promote a healthy lawn: maintains a cool rootzone in the height of summer, cushions the grass crowns from foot-traffic, preserves soil moisture, and releas-

es nutrients as the layer decomposes. All excellent reasons to leave the grass-clippings behind as you mow instead of sending them off to the landfill where they do you and the environment little good.

When the layer is too thick (more than 1¼ cm deep), fine grass roots grow into the layer. This puts the lawn at risk from drought as thatch dries out more readily than soil. The lawn also has little protection from high (summer) and low (late winter/early spring) temperatures. Furthermore, when the thatch layer dries out, it resists rewetting and prevents wa-

ter from reaching the soil below.

The solution is to remove the thatch buildup, or to dethatch. Do not dethatch new or weak lawns.

Depending on how vigorous lawn is, you shouldn’t have to dethatch more often than every second or third year. The time to dethatch is just as the lawn is beginning to grow and the soil is not saturated.

If you wait until later in the season, you can cause more harm than good. So mid-May it is. You have a number of options from using a dethatching rake

if you want a good workout, using a dethatching attachment on your power mower, or renting a dethatching machine. Add the removed thatch to your compost.

Aeration: Plant roots need oxygen for good growth. A compacted soil has less pore space to hold air and water. It also means that water has a difficult time penetrating the soil, sitting instead in low spots or running off. Compacted soil also makes it physically difficult for roots to grow and develop.

Compaction develops over

time on clay soils, in high traffic areas, or by walking on wet lawns.

Aeration, the solution for compacted soil, can be done any time during the growing season. Aeration is often done by removing small soil cores with either a special tool or machine.

The soil should be moist (but not wet), instead of hard and dry, to make the work easier. If using a machine, complete two passes across the lawn in perpendicular directions (north-south, then eastwest). The plugs can be left on top of the lawn as they will break down after a few rain/irrigation events and mowings. Or you can rake them up and add to your compost. Aerate as necessary: annually for high traffic areas, less frequently or not all for lightly used lawns.

Fertilizing: We all want green lawns from the getgo, but fertilizing before the grass is growing vigorously will not get you there. A green lawn in the spring starts the fall before. Some of the nitrogen from an August or fall fertilizer application will be stored and carried over in the grass crowns to ensure early greening up.

So create an annual fertilizer plan. Split your fertilizer applications over the growing season: late May,

Lots of laughs at Debden drama

By Caleb Ourshoorn The Debden drama students were hard at work for many noon hours in what culminated in another great drama production For the second year in a row, we had two separate plays due to the large amount of participants. Both plays came together perfectly for our production on May 10th, which was a great success.

The first play was called “The Trial of Amanda Marie Locks”, starring: Rylan Couture, Julie Gustafson, Tia Morin, Emilia Gillies, Amanda Lepage, Brett Couture, Logan Collins, Brayden Nelson, Janelle Cyr, Layton Ferster, Tyra Couture, Cole Aarrestad and Mackenzie Aarrestad.

It was about the trial of “Goldie” Locks; accused of breaking and entering, and destruction of private property. With storyland characters and conflicting testimonies, the resulting pandemonium was designed for lots of laughs.

Our second play was called “The Real Housewives of Cricket County”, starring: Cole Aarrestad, Leanna Gustafson, Shaye Amundson, Stephanie

Lloyd, Braidon Turner, Kylie Couture, Sam Wasacase, Erin Lafond, Jonathon Ardagh, Quinn Smith, Rylan Couture, Phoebe Oudshoorn, Melinda Ardagh and Caleb Oudshoorn. It was a standalone sequel to last year’s play “Cricket County Academy”, and showed the funnier side of “them there” hillbillies.

Three drama students are graduating this year: Leanna Gustafson, Stephanie Lloyd, and Caleb Oudshoorn. It will be sad to see them go, but it will allow the younger students a greater chance to shine.

There are several people who deserve huge thanks. Thank you to Mrs. Cyr and Mrs. Duret for volunteering so much of their time. Without them, our drama production would not have been possible.

They helped us all achieve our full acting potential.

Thanks to Kelly Lafond, Kolbie Couture, and Alicia Couture for helping backstage with hair and makeup.

It was a perfect finale to a great year.

Lower turnout for Shellbrook Sports Day Numbers were down on the field and in the stands for this year’s Shellbrook Sports Day, June 2 and 3, organized by Shellbrook Minor Sports.

Fifteen minor ball teams competed in divisions from Mite to Midget, through the two days, a slight dip from last year’s total.

Many of the teams competing in the event came from Shellbrook but there were also teams from Big River, Canwood, Prince Albert and Spiritwood.

Looking toward next year, Lyle Banda, of Shellbrook Minor Sports, points out that the group doesn’t charge an entry fee for the minor ball tournaments, which makes for a cheap and easy way to get in a few extra ball games for teams around the region.

He hopes that this fact will help draw more teams to next year’s event.

A conflict with the opening weekend of the Prince Albert Slo Pitch league saw just five teams turn out for the Sports Day Slo Pitch Tournament.

Tippy Canoe defeated the Kingfisher Howlers in

the final to win the tournament.

Both mens and ladies fastball tournaments drew a full slate of six teams each. In Mens A-side action, the Cubs knocked off the Dry Creek Penguins while in the Ladies A the Saskatoon Scotiabank Selects defeated the Saskatoon Fury.

Fastball organizer, Curtis Olsen noted that all six ladies teams came out of Saskatoon, which is a testament to the tournament and the local facilities that teams would come that far to play in a tournament.

In the Ladies B Side the Saskatoon Mystics defeated the Saskatoon Magic Selects and in the C it was

the Coop Elite Selects over the Junior Eclipse.

The Men’s B final it was the Prince Albert Rebels over the Leoville Loggers Provincial Midget team.

The C final saw Spiritwood defeat Leoville.

The refreshment tent, operated by the Shellbrook Kinsmen, was once again a popular place with Dizzy River headlining Saturday night’s dance.

The local band rocked into the evening and Banda said he expects them back again next year.

Funds raised through Sports Day each year go back into minor sports facilities and program.

What exactly do the ‘Royals’ bring to the table?

As post-Diamond Jubilee hysteria subsides, it’s timely to ask ourselves: Why do we continue to idolize hereditary royalty and the tribal class system it represents?

What else, besides tribal, can you call it when Kate Middleton’s childhood piano teacher—who composed a wedding song for the couple last year—represented Prince William in E flat major, “a majestic key,” and Kate in A major, “a very distant key, to reflect their different social standings”?

Martin Amis once quipped the class system in Britain would survive a nuclear attack; and fellow author Christopher Hitchens mocked British social snobbery of Kate’s parents.

“The mother was an air hostess with an unfashionable airline, and the family has been overheard using lethally wrong expressions, such as serviette for napkin, settee for sofa and toilet for lavatory.”

When I lived in the UK, I often wondered why many Brits continued to use such expressions when it immediately pegged them as “lower class.” Why give the “toffs” the satisfaction?

No wonder people use all manner of ruses—including faking aristocratic connections—if, for example, it means getting their children into a better school.

Such a blatant caste system doesn’t deserve the truth.

Of course, how the class system established itself in the first place is pretty tribal. Take the Grimaldi family, descended from a 12th century pirate who dressed up

as a priest and, with his band of mercenaries, slaughtered the inhabitants and took over the joint.

We’re supposed to invest Grimaldi’s descendants, the dysfunctional Monaco clan—and other European royal families with similar histories—with rarefied mystique?

Consider, too, the sexual tribalism of some of these “rarefied” royals.

It recently emerged, for example, that the King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf—nicknamed “Carl XXX”—has engaged in wild sex parties, “elk-hunt orgies,” and an affair with a pop star.

Princess Caroline’s husband, Ernst of Hanover, was recently pictured cavorting with a model for a chain of Austrian brothels.

Which brings me back to Prince William.

In contrast to his men-behaving-badly European relatives, he seems to be a decent guy who actually loves his wife. He’s been described as protective of her, “as he was of his mother.”

If you ask me, his mother is the reason why he’s a better man than his royal peers.

Historian Schama says the British royals’ attempts to be “both dynastic and middle class” started with Queen Victoria

and Albert.

But really, it was Diana. Not only was she emotionally demonstrative of her two boys. She took them into the real world to meet real people in hospitals, charities, at water parks—even McDonald’s.

Do you really think the butcher and baker from Middleton’s homed town would have t been invited to b the wedding on t Friday had it not F been for Diana’s b people power? p For that matter, F would “bourw geois” Kate have g been invited to join the royal family at all?

And yet, for all the democratizing change Diana brought about, she’s still being labelled a “fruitcake” (John Fraser, Maclean’s), a “vapid disco princess” whom Prince Charles “didn’t respect” (Christopher Hitchens), “mentally ill” (Peggy Junor) and “Barbie” by Camillla herself.

Oh, Camilla. As Banquo says of Macbeth, “Thou hast it all now”—which is why it’s so infuriating to hear her say, “We’re so lucky” about William’s choice

of Kate. With his mother’s ring on Middleton’s finger, such talk amounts to dancing on Diana’s grave.

No wonder Republicanism is gaining ground. Graham Smith of the British anti-monarchist group, Republic, recently challenged Brits to come up with a single example of how the Queen has effectively led the country during a time of tragedy or national mourning (except when she was pushed to it by the British press following Diana’s death).

With the cost of Jubilee festivities pegged at $1 billion (at least)—and this, in a troubled British economy—you’d think the royals could at least have covered the security costs.

A recent YouGov poll found a whopping 86 per cent of female British “subjects” wouldn’t want to change places with Middleton. No wonder. Who can forget the way Diana was treated, while the thousands who mourned her are now labelled “hysterical”?

If it weren’t for Diana, who was encouraged to do the traditional thing and turn a blind eye to Charles’ infidelities, the “Carl XXX” way would still be the prevailing norm. And even more pronounced, inbred class distinctions would still reign supreme.

Saskatchewan Housing Corp. honours volunteers A luncheon honouring volunteers was held at the Conexus Art Centre in Regina recently.

“The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others,” said Social Services Minister June Draude. “It is because of people like these individuals and the many other volunteers in the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation network that Saskatchewan is recognized as being among the best in Canada for social

housing.”

Minister Draude and Saskatchewan Housing Corporation President Don Allen, presented the honourees with a certificate commemorating their years of service and a gift in appreciation of the work they do.

The luncheon, hosted

by Minister Draude, honoured the following individuals: Included in the 25 year honourees Evette Bailey Debden Guy Cyr

Obituary

PIPER - Mr. Ronald William Piper, age 95, late of Shellbrook, passed away in Parkland Terrace Care Home on Monday, June 4, 2012. Ron was born in Ashford Hill, Berkshire, England on March 10, 1917.

He came with his parents to Canada in 1925, when they settled near Admiral, Saskatchewan. They then

moved to Totnes, Saskatchewan to start farming, then north to Shell Lake in the 1930’s. Ron married Martha Letkeman on October 29, 1938 and they celebrated 73 years of marriage this past fall.

Ron leaves to cherish his memory, his loving wife, Martha; daughters Linda Androsoff and Jeanette Huber; grandsons Jadon Androsoff and Jeffrey (Serena) Androsoff; great grandsons, Robbie, Nathan and Shawn; son-inlaw, Doug Androsoff.

He was predeceased by his parents, William and Elsie Piper in 1973; an infant daughter in 1940; a son-inlaw Vince Canfield in 2007.

A Graveside Service will be held in the Shell Lake Cemetery on Saturday, June 9 at 2:00 pm with Delores Beaulac as officiant.

Memorial donations may be made to the Parkland Terrace Foundation.

Condolences e-mailed to www.beaulacfuneralhome.com will be forwarded to the family.

Beau”Lac” Funeral Home is entrusted with the funeral arrangements.

LARSON - February 4th, 1919 - May 12th, 2012.

Lloyd Larson passed away in the Parkland Terrace Nursing Home in

Shellbrook on Saturday, May 12th, 2012 at the age of 93.

Except for working out for a few years at various jobs, he farmed in the Ordale, Mont Nebo area all his life until retiring to Shellbrook in 1999.

He was a good mechanic and welder and was always willing to help his neighbors if help was needed. He enjoyed fishing and hunting and also playing a game of cards.

He was predeceased by his parents, two brothers and six sisters and is survive by his wife Clara of Shellbrook, son Barry and daughter-in-law Joanne of Calgary, Alberta as well as several nieces and nephews.

It was Lloyd’s request that there be no funeral and his ashes be scattered at the farm and the family will honor his wishes.

Province moving ahead on child welfare transformation The Ministry of Social Services will continue to partner with community-based organizations to support children and youth in care and will no longer directly operate child welfare residential spaces.

This direction is consistent with the province’s child welfare transformation strategy, based on the independent Saskatchewan Child Welfare Review Panel’s 2010 recommendations. The report urged government to work differently and to emphasize collaborative approaches to child welfare with First Nation, Métis and community partners.

“We want children and youth to live successfully at home and in their communities,” Social Services Minister June Draude said. “That’s why our government has invested in family and community-based care and placed greater emphasis on prevention and family supports.

“We have been working with community-based organizations and our First Nation and Métis partners to develop the supports that children and youth need. Since 2007, we have nearly doubled the number of communityrun child welfare spaces. Today’s announcement is another step in our continued transformation of the child welfare system.”

Currently, community-based organizations (CBOs) and agencies deliver 95 per cent of the child welfare residential spaces in the province. Social Services operates five per cent. No new government-operated residential spaces for children have been developed since 1999.

“CBOs, with their local boards and tremendous volunteer base, know the clients who live in their communities, can quickly mobilize supports for clients with other local agencies and respond to the needs of the people they serve with flexible and creative solutions,” Draude said.

A total of 12 children and youth currently reside at the Saskatoon Treatment Group Home, Prince Albert Adolescent Group Home and Eden House in Regina. Ministry staff will work with these youth and their families to determine appropriate community placements. These facilities will close within 60 days. Red Willow Centre in Saskatoon and Dales House in Regina, which currently serve 31 youth, will remain open until community capacity is developed.

“I want to thank the staff in these homes for the incredible dedication and compassion they have shown to many children, youth and families,” Draude said. “This decision is not a reflection of the quality of their service to vulnerable children. Rather, it signifies our commitment to change the child welfare system, and to expand our partnerships with local organizations whose structure and connection to the community are helping create positive outcomes for children in care.”

The province has increased funding for child and family services by 133 per cent since November 2007.

This includes more than $48 million in increased support for CBOs serving children, youth and their families.

Overall funding for group homes is not being reduced as part of this announcement.

Funding provided to the government-run group homes will be reinvested into community-based services for children and youth.

When he was 22, McIlroy led the 2011 Masters through three rounds before imploding on the back nine Sunday and finishing 15th. But he rebounded beautifully, winning his next major, the U.S. Open, by a remarkable eight strokes. McIlroy’s life was perfect — and he had the gorgeous No. 1-ranked Wozniacki on his arm as he ascended to the No. 1 spot in the world ranking.

He was a rock star.

Would Tiger catch Nicklaus with 18 majors?

To heck with that hypothesis . . . would Rory win 20?

Lately, though, McIlroy has faltered badly.

He missed the cut at the Players Championship in May — and then immediately jetted to Rome to watch his girlfriend play in a tournament. He missed the cut later that month at the BMW Championship in England — and then zipped over to Paris to see Caroline. He missed the cut at the Memorial, one of two U.S. Open tuneups he put on his schedule.

Maybe it’s Caroline’s fault; maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s just because McIlroy is 23 and is enjoying the rock-star life for the first time. Maybe marriage and maturity will eventually reign and McIlroy will

T

It’s not a shock to say Rory McIlroy has a lot in common with Tiger Woods.

But some of those similarities aren’t the kind McIlroy’s fans want to see.

They like the part about being No. 1 in the world. They like the title of “defending U.S. Open champ.” They like the millions of dollars he makes on and off the golf course.

They like the fact he’s likely the most popular golfer in the world, as Tiger once was.

What similarity to Woods that McIlroy fans aren’t too keen about is the one about his career being sidetracked by women.

The jury is still out on that one, but . . .

Woods’s fall from grace has been well chronicled — his dalliances with dozens of women cost him his wife, his reputation and, coincidentally or not, his golf game for a couple of years. McIlroy, as far as we know, is a one-woman man, but his romantic relationship with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki is the reason, some say, that the Northern Ireland superstar is falling into pro golf’s ‘ordinary’ atmosphere.

Golf’s ‘superstar’ pedestal, once the domain of Woods, is currently unoccupied.

The Eden Philosophy is based on the belief that aging should be an ongoing continued stage of growth and development. It was founded in 1991 by Dr. William Thomas.

The intent is to work towards meaningful culture change through training and dedication to creating a life worth living for those in care.

The core concept is where elders/residents live must be habitats for human beings, not institutions. Transforming care environments promotes quality of life for all.

The goal is to strive towards: empowering others; offer variety and spontaneous activity; giving and receiving care; caring for the whole person not just the body; “care giving” rather than treatment or task doing; teamwork that includes all players.

The vision is to eliminate loneliness, helplessness and boredom.

Transforming care environments promotes quality of life for all. This is a principle

based philosophy that transforms institutional approaches to a community where life is worth living.

Each month the Eden Committee focuses on one of the ten principles working backwards from principle ten to one.

The committee is asking residents and family members to consider joining the journey.

September’s meeting will be posted; we welcome those interested to attend. For more information please consult with any of the Eden committee members; Sharla Morash, Viviane Taylor, Michelle Stene, Maryanne Kennedy, Tobi Featherstone, Joy Aiken, Joanne Burant, Trina Chamberlain, Vicki Baun, Estelle Dicus, Patty Couture.

The Eden Alternative encourages you to think outside of the box.

It is good and pure, and as a recently trained staff member said, “I feel like I have been cleansed”.

Several staff at Parkland Terrace has had the opportunity to participate in Eden training. A committee has been formed and meets once a month.

Mother’s Day Raffle 1st Prize - Single Quilt Betty Hanson; 2nd Prize - 2 Pillows Donna Prafke; 3rd Prize - Apron - Judy Philp.

The money made will be used to treat Parkland Terrace to a KFC picnic which will be enjoyed one fine day in June when the weather permits.

Parkland Terrace Foundation Board of Directors: David Moe; President; Elias Shantz; Vice President; Faith Mazurk, Secretary/ treasurer; Lois Freeman, Kathleen Nording, Earl Stuart, Sherri McHanson/Budd, Just recently, funds were allocated to purchase specialized Recreation resources such as sensory stimulation, range of motion, reminiscing, hand /eye coordination and music appreciation aides.

Parkland Terrace Foundation accepts memorial donations. All gifts are tax deductable and a receipt will be issued.

Thank you for the dainties, refreshments and special meals …You go above and beyond the call of duty and it is appreciated.

Recreation Coordinator Update: Wow, this community continues to impress me! The amount of support and involvement in making a difference in the lives of our residents is heartwarming.

Just recently, two of our residents, Shirley Morris and Edna Lens, participated in the Shellbrook and District Health Services Project’s Walk, Run, Stroll Event.

Ambassador Nick and his wife Anne Bilyk cruised the 5km route in their golf cart.

Thanks to Nick for collecting much of the $840.00 in donations.

Please note receipts can be picked up in resident mail boxes or by asking the Recreation Department.

Family, friends and community members are always welcome to participate in Recreation opportunities. Excursions always require extra help and planning so if you would like to join please call a few days prior to the date.

If you have an idea or something to share please let us know.

And if your community group has an upcoming event you think our residents would like to join in please contact us well in advance.

At the last Resident Council Meeting, the residents expressed they would like to partake in some of the following summer day trips: country drive, Hannigan’s Honey Tour, Green House tour, Visit to Car Dealerships, Shell Lake Hey Days, Pontoon Boat Ride, Soup and Sandwich in community, Waskesui and Saskatoon Forestry Farm. It

looks like we will have a fun-filled summer!

Did you know our Health Region is required to register and document volunteers and the hours they contribute to enhancing our residents’ lives? So if you have been volunteering and are not sure if you are registered please speak to The Recreation Department.

New Volunteers are always welcome.

I would like to challenge the local youth to consider making a difference in our lives and their own by volunteering. Service time and involvement is flexible.

I encourage you to forward your email address or drop in to pick up a Recreation Calendar of events.

Our new home is adopting the Eden Alternative; which strives to provide an environment that enables our residents to live full and abundant lives. This is a never ending- journey in which we create a human habitat. Please consider the invitation to join this journey; resident and family input is needed. We welcome any questions and comments you may have.

The aim is to have all Eden committee members (residents, family, staff) meet this September. If you would like more information on this philosophy, log on to www.edenalt.com or check out www.sherbrookcommunity .

We can all enjoy “Simple Pleasures”!

Thank you for making a difference every day!

At 50 I feel wonderful! I love my ranch and my horses. My kids are grown and I’m free to do what I like.

I’m 5'6”, I eat right always try to look my best. I am seeking a man my age or older who is secure, tall, has a husky build, keeps their body in good shape, has country values and must be a non smoker. Maybe a land owner who would like to do a little sight seeing and wants a good woman in his life.
