Ministers approved changes to the national Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) that will provide Canadians and Canadian businesses with a more effective process for dealing with barriers that restrict economic growth in Canada.

For the first time since the AIT was signed in 1995, governments and the private sector can challenge barriers to an open and fair marketplace in Canada through a credible and enforceable process.

“Saskatchewan is particularly proud to have chaired the committee that completed the overhaul of the AIT’s dispute rules,” McMillan said. “These changes will benefit the many Saskatchewan producers, businesses and consumers that rely on access to other markets in Canada, helping our growing economy.

“We recognize the importance of removing trade barriers across the country and the positive effect is has on not only Saskatchewan, but the rest of the provinces as well.

Our government has made it very clear that economic development and the strengthened trade relationships that come with it benefit the entire country, rather than any one province or region.”

Bob Hughes totally nailed it The legendary Hall of Fame sportswriter, now retired, predicted on our In The Huddle television program last week that the BC Lions would badly want to win their home preseason game against Saskatchewan in the debut of new head coach Mike Benevides.

Did they ever. While the Riders dressed 62 players with over half them being rookies Wednesday night at BC Place, the Lions displayed a veteran crew which played the bulk of the game and pul-

verized Saskatchewan 4410 Wednesday night.

It was akin to the bully kicking sand in the weakling’s face on the beach.

“They played their dogs and we played our puppies,” laughed rookie Rider coach Corey Chamblin the day after the game, showing no apparent concern over the score.

The defending Grey Cup champs were flexing their muscle and sending a message to the rest of the league that they are the early contenders in 2012.

They played that game

Rider Insider With the Voice of The Riders, Rod Pedersen like it was a division final rather than a meaningless encounter in June.

“They did what they had to do and we did what we had to do,” Chamblin explained.

The Riders were qui-

At 7:30 p.m. Saskia and Darrel Delaronde will take the stage at the Leask Lions Hall. Delaronde’s roots to the community run deep as his great grandfather homesteaded in the area in 1908 and his grand father, W.P. Sandin, was an RM Councilor in the 1940s and Reeve of the RM in the 1950’s.

The Legion Hall will also be open Friday and Saturday night with memorabilia and pictures on display and Savouring the Memories cookbooks and other souvenirs available for purchase.

Saturday morning will feature a pancake break-

fast at the Lions Hall and a flea market near the Legion Hall. And then the streets will come alive at 11 a.m. with the Leask Centennial Parade.

“Down on the Corner” musical entertainment will take place at the site of the old Leask Hotel from 1:15 to 4:45 p.m. and a dance featuring Cherokee Rose takes place at the Lions Hall from 8 p.m to 1 p.m..

Tickets are limited so preregistration is a must.

Sunday will open with breakfast at the sports grounds followed by an Ecumenical Church Service at 11 a.m.. at St. Henry’s Roman Catholic Church. A cold plate din-

ner from 1 -4 p.m. at the Seniors Hall.

A pair of symbolic events will also be taking place as the dedication of 2nd St North as Dr. Duncan Drive will take place at 2 p.m. and the sod turning for the Butler Library project, next to the Leask Fire Hall will take place at 3:30 p.m. Percy Butler donated $50,000 toward the cause.

Childrens activities will take place at the sports grounds at 6 p.m. followed by a weiner roast and cate at 7:30 p.m.

A fireworks display will cap off the weekend at 10:30 p.m. at the sports grounds.

etly seething at B.C.’s tactics but would not say so publicly. Look, you never want to get blown out on national television whether it’s the Grey Cup or an exhibition game. It just looks bad. The Lions knew the Riders were bringing rookies and were running base offense and defense with no game plan and they exploited that.

However the good news is the Rider braintrust got what they wanted out of it and that was to get a look at all the fresh faces in training camp in game conditions. They also left their key veterans at home and starting quarterback Darian Durant only played three series.

That will change this week when the Calgary Stampeders come to town

for the final preseason game for both teams Friday night. They’re a tremendous amount of excitement around this one for two reasons: 1) it’s the first time the Rider Nation will get to see their team in live game action at home in 2012 and 2) Mosaic Stadium has undergone a

$14-million renovation including two massive new scoreboards and endzone theatre seats.

This season is a long, long ways from being over.

Heck, it hasn’t even started yet. And do you remember how that sand-kicking on the beach story ended? The weakling grows up.

Opinions Throwing money at problems By the time you read there is a very good chance that the Miami Heat will be the 2012 NBA Champions. The Heat took a 3-1 lead in the final with three straight come from behind victories over the Oklahoma City Thunder to put a stranglehold on the series.

If this had happened last year, I’d be pretty ticked off but I can somewhat live with this unfortunate turn of events this year.

Before the start of last season, LaBron James made a fool of himself as the star of a TV special announcing which team he was going to sign with for the 2010-11 season. He chose to join Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat, who also signed power forward Chris Bosh away from the Toronto Raptors.

With that much star power on the court they were dubbed by many as a can’t lose proposition.

They lost 4-2 to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Final.

The reason that particular loss brought me such joy was my simple belief that you can’t buy a championship.

Sure general managers in all major sports evaluate talent, determine players’ worth and try to sign the pieces of the puzzle that they likely believe are going to get them the furthest but putting most of the pieces together for a championship team in one year isn’t likely. In that process they build their team one piece at a time and the team grows together.

The Heat signed the two biggest free agents on the market to fill out 2/5 of their starting lineup and almost won it all. In the end, they just didn’t have the tools to get the job done in 2011. After a year of working together and team building, they found out what it takes to win.

In every sport the rich, big market teams have always flexed their financial muscle in free agency and picked off the biggest names regardless of the salary cap.

The New York Rangers did it for years in the pre-cap NHL and languished in mediocrity. They managed to stack the team with talent and big egos but couldn’t build a team that could contend. The New York Yankees did the same thing in baseball with a little greater success.

They were dominant through the late 1990s but have been also-rans for most of the last decade despite consistently having the highest payroll in baseball.

The reality is, in sports and in life, that money helps but it doesn’t solve everything. In your life, in sports, in government, throwing money at the problem or using money to get where you want isn’t the answer.

To be successful at anything you have to put the work in. Opportunities rarely just drop in your lap, you have to work for them.

Sometimes the Yankees or the Heat might get lucky and win it all but in the long run they are just throwing money at players rather than doing the work to develop their own.

The Paul Martin Commentary Saskatchewan’s fertilizer industry just got another big endorsement.

Most of the discussion regarding fertilizer production in this province centres on potash. And it should, given the volume of investment being directed to this sector with the existing players adding significantly to their asset base while a handful of new players has arrived on the scene, investing billions in new mine development.

But one segment that tends to get overlooked is nitrogen production.

Saskatchewan is home to a large nitrogen player, the Yara facility at Belle Plaine. Once owned jointly by the government and Cargill, it is now wholly-owned by a European company which announced a major expansion of its Saskatchewan facility over the weekend.

Yara plans to more than double the output of the Belle Plaine facility and will include development of a product line designed to meet the needs of canola growers in this part of the world.

The company will fast-track the expansion so it can be on stream in the second half of 2016, adding further to Saskatchewan’s reputation as the world’s biggest fertilizer supplier. *** We’ve been leading up to this for months now and it appears that Saskatchewan’s home builders have finally caught up with demand.

For the past six months or so, the gap between new housing starts and demand was narrowing which enabled builders to begin fewer new units. And the latest figures from Canada Mortgage and Housing suggest the gap has been closed.

At least that is the case in Saskatoon where new home starts has begun to fall behind last year’s pace. Regina

Paul Martin

is still in a growth mode with a 26 per cent increase in starts in May compared to the same month a year ago.

Multi-family starts so far this year in the Queen City are running at double last year’s pace as builders continue to play catch up.

But in Saskatoon the market is easing slightly.

Single units are still in growth mode – up about 20 per cent from last year – but multi-family starts have fallen back a bit. 30 per cent fewer new doors have been undertaken in the first five months of this year compared to 2011. *** A pair of reports on the province`s housing industry point to a sector that is continuing to fall under bullish pressures as ever-growing demand from new residents adds fuel to an already buoyant market.

The first comes from Canada Mortgage and Housing showing we are still trailing Alberta in terms of home prices but we have seen considerable strength and we are well above Manitoba in pricing terms.

And there appears to be little let up in sight.

The monthly report on the cost of building a new house issued by StatsCan shows new home construction costs in Regina are roughly 5.5 per cent higher than they were a year ago. That`s the second biggest jump in Canada. Increases in new home construction costs in Saskatoon, meanwhile, have been more modest. They`ve been that way for about a year.

The only change in this latest update is a momentum shift. Regina saw no change in the past month but Saskatoon was up nearly a full percentage point suggesting the pendulum may be swinging from the Queen City to the Bridge City.

Viewpoint Why Sask booze prices are so high

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) made $442 million in 2010-11 _ $215 million of which came from profits from the sale of alcohol.

Unfortunately, this is about all we know about how booze pricing works in Saskatchewan _ a concern for Provincial Auditor Bonnie Lysyk.

In her recent 2012 annual Provincial Auditor’s report, Lysyk concluded that the SLGA should development “a more proactive, transparent, customer-focused strategy for buying liquor that is also more transparent.”

“SLGA’s current liquor pricing policy does not provide it with an incentive to negotiate lower costs for liquor products,” Lysyk concluded in her report. “Under the current policy, lower costs reduce SLGA’s profits, which in turn may result in less money provided to the government.

SLGA also considers social responsibility in its pricing decisions.

“It is important that information on pricing be transparent so that citizens can understand government revenue and related policy decisions embedded in the pricing of liquor.”

If you’re like me, Lysyk’s report has confirmed what you have suspected for years _ that you’ve been gouged on the

liquor you buy. However, governments _ even free-enterprise governments like this Saskatchewan Party _ don’t seem to think there’s much wrong with that.

For years now, the debate over Saskatchewan liquor pricing has been over the notion that booze prices are high here because of the cost of the governmentowned retailed liquor stores in the province. After all, government liquor store workers do generally receive higher wages than other retail sale employees. (That said, those that buy their booze from private rural vendors in this province already realize there’s no break buying from a private outlet.)

However, while Lysyk’s report doesn’t specifically address the costs associated with the public component of retail liquor sales in Saskatchewan, she does suggest that what goes into liquor pricing is a lot more bit more complicated than that.

According to the Provincial Auditor, like most Canadian jurisdictions, Saskatchewan’s liquor retail pricing is based

“on a fixed mark-up of the wholesale price”. Moreover, the mark-up rate is the same for all products within a category and ranges from 40-per-cent to 184-percent (with whisky, gin, rum and vodka having a mark-up of about 162 per cent.)

Given this relationship between the wholesale and retail prices, the main ways for the SLGA to increase its revenue is by “adjusting the product mix increase consumer demand, enhance customer service or increase the mark-up percentage,” Lysyk wrote in her report. There really is no incentive to “negotiate lower wholesale costs as so doing so would result in lower retail sales, and, in turn lower profits.”

“Lower profits would be contrary to its mandate of generating profits for the General Revenue Fund and encouraging responsible drinking,” the Provincial Auditor wrote.

Saskatchewan retail liquor prices appear to be “within the range of those set by other provinces,” Lysyk said. How-

ever, all Canadian governments have “traditionally used liquor profits (taxes and mark-ups) to subsidize government programs.”

But surely a more free-enterpriseminded government like the Saskatchewan Party that supports free markets and an adult individual’s right to make his or her own choices would have a problem with this approach, right? Well, maybe not.

Asked about the Auditor’s findings, SLGA Minister Donna Harpauer acknowledged that more disclosure on how liquor pricing worked might be in order, but there will be no policy change that will result in cheaper consumer prices at the expense of provincial coffers.

In a choice between raking in as much money from alcohol sales as possible and raising taxes elsewhere, the government will continue to opt for getting as much money out liquor sales as possible, Harpauer admitted.

And that may be all that you really need to know about liquor pricing, folks.

They are high and will remain high because governments see that as the best policy.

Letters to the Editor EI reforms not helpful To the Editor: The Conservative government claims that it is making fundamental changes to Employment Insurance to deal with “unprecedented” shortages in skilled labour, especially in the West.

However, these reforms do nothing to help the 28,000 unemployed Saskatchewanians develop the skills and get the training they need to fill those shortages.

Instead, the government’s strategy appears to be to force seasonal workers from rural Canada to move, separating them from their families and emptying their communities.

The changes will also force the unemployed to accept up to accept work, at up to a 30% pay cut, or else they will lose their EI benefits. Under this system, employers will be stuck with employees who don’t want to be there and plan to leave as soon as they can. Hardly a recipe for positive workplace moral or productivity.

All of which is not to say that the current system is perfect - it does need improvements. In fact, some of the current changes are positive, like extending the ‘working while on claim’ pilot and making the ‘best 14 weeks’ program permanent.

Both of those pilot projects were created by Liberals

over a half-decade ago, to test new, innovative reforms to the EI system. We took a progressive and considered approach to changing the system. Unfortunately, the current government has created policy on the fly, with no consultation, based on a belief that EI claimants - especially seasonal workers in Atlantic Canada - are lazy and need to be forced to work using penalizing measures.

As Liberals, we believe in helping people to find work through investing in skills upgrading and retraining, not forcing people to work lower-skilled jobs for less money.

The government should be narrowing the rural-urban divide, not expanding it.

Rodger Cuzner, M.P. Liberal critic for Human Resources & Skills Development

The Tar Sands are the worst case of corporate welfare on the planet, pushing our dirty oil, without savings, to the world with little regard to the environment, democracy, economy and society.

Canadians are not the ones who are making the dollar here - Albertans collect a miserly 1%. Canadians must dialogue for an economy that will benefit all. One omnibus bill, dramatically changing the course of our economy and democracy with limited debate, turning Canadians against each other, is wrong!

Low resource royalties encourage foreign investment, driving up our dollar. Our manufactured exports become uncompetitive, the flow of tourists into Canada slows, and more Canadians spend elsewhere.

Shellbrook Mite Girls win league playoff

The Shellbrook Mite Girls overcame poor weather and stiff competition to win the league playoff.

Shellbrook opened the tournament with a 14-3 win over Spiritwood to set up the A final vs Big River.

The game was a nailbiter, coming down to the final at bat with Shellbrook coming out on top 8-6.

Down 6-5 going into the

final bat, Jenna Anderson got on base with a single followed by a homerun by Brooklyn Anderson to give Shellbrook the one run lead.

Maddison Crawford finished the game by hitting another double allowing Carnell Olson to get home!!

Great playing by all despite the rain and cold winds!

A more moderate approach unites Canadians, benefits the whole economy, protects our environment, and regains the respect we once had in the rest of the world. We need to increase our royalties (income for ‘our’ future) and incorporate polluter pay principles, reducing foreign investment so we can bring our dollar down and protect our whole economy and our environment.

Playing short term economics against our children’s future is stupid.

were also quick to add that without the help of the Holbein Rink Committee, the very many volunteers, and assistance from those community residents who gave financial donations, the proposed renovations to the rink would not have been possible.

“This just proves what wonderful things can happen when a community

works together”, added Ms. Svendsen, “and we are looking forward to completion of this project, not only for the betterment of our youth, but for residents of all ages.”

Holbein is a fast growing community with seven new lots sold within the last few years and more lots in the developmental stage.

Agriculture Legislation changes may ag industries The World Pork Expo in Des Moine, Iowa is, as you might expect, an event where the industry has a chance to crystal ball its future.

It is a chance to see what lies ahead for an agricultural sector which has been battered by low prices for too much of the last decade.

It was a decade here in Saskatchewan which took the hog industry from being the poster child of farm diversification, to one pretty much on life support.

The processing of pork has basically been moved out of Saskatchewan, and the largest producers ended up needing to restructure debt with those owed

money getting far less than they would have wanted in order to buoy the barns.

It was actually interesting how the fate of the sector changed so quickly.

Hog production looked like the perfect enterprise for Saskatchewan as a way to value-add to cereal grains which had long faced low prices made worse by the distance to ocean export position.

Things have stabilized a bit the last couple of years, but there are indications that prices may be back on their way back down, and that won’t be good news for the sector.

But prices are cyclical, and the sector knows that.

What is more interest-

Calvin Daniels On Agriculture

ing out of this year’s World Expo is a discussion taking place in the United States about the fate of individual sow stalls.

The stalls have become one of the main concerns for many consumer groups regarding how hogs are raised.

Those with a concern suggest the gestation stalls are far too limiting in their

Base grazing systems on grazing principles

by Allan Foster PAg Regional Forage Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture A grazing system is more than adding fences and moving cattle. A well planned grazing system is part of the overall livestock production system that incorporates the goals and objectives of the farm.

It has been said that there is no one best grazing system that can be incorporated onto all farms.

This is because each farm or ranch operates under a different set of management and environmental factors, such as soils and vegetation type, annual precipitation, water and labour availability, and budget constraints.

There still is a however a best system for each farm. This system will take into account the farm or ranch goals and objectives and be based on the principles of proper grazing management.

The basic principles of grazing management are to control the frequency at which pasture plants are grazed through control of the number of times each paddock is grazed.

To control the intensity at which the pasture plants are grazed by controlling the number of animals that graze each paddock and their period of occupation.

And to reduce the extent to which the pasture is selectively grazed by increasing

stock density.

Improper grazing management will initially lead to reduced plant vigour and eventually loss of valuable forage plants, an increase in weedy species and a decline in overall pasture production. For tame grass pastures this decline in productivity usually results in more frequent work down and reseeding of stands. The decline in pasture production of native grass pastures requires a reduction in long-term stocking rates in order for productive species to regain dominance.

A well planned grazing system will help both forage and animal production in a number of ways. It will distribute livestock uniformly over the pasture to reduce selective grazing of individual plants, increase harvest efficiency making better use of all pasture acres and distributes manure nutrient resources across pastures instead of having nutrients accumulate in areas where cattle may linger like around watering sites.

Properly managed grazing improves vegetative cover, reduces erosion, improves water quality and improves moisture utilization. It also will reduce trampling damage and fouling losses which results in more forage being available to the livestock.

And finally a well planned grazing system will en-

able closer monitoring of the herd which should improve herd health.

allowed movement for the sow.

The move is to group housing, with a number of producers already taking that step.

But there is a feeling it may become a legislated change, one pushed through government by consumer demand.

The issue though is whether the concern is one of perception the sow is better off in a loose housing situation, or not.

Having grown up on a pig farm, in an era before farrowing crates were evenly widely used, and most gestating sows were housed in outdoor lots, I can attest to the fact sows housed together in loose

lots do not get along well.

Larger sows are quite willing to bully smaller ones at the feed trough, and they are not gentle in doing so.

Individual sows stall allow greater customization of feeding for sows, which has its merits.

Of course the science of things means little to consumers.

They work on emotion and perception, and are vocal in regards to both.

Consumers are voters, with far more of them out there than farmers, so politicians tend to listen to them. That is where legislation can happen which

has little to do with common sense -- the ban on horse slaughter in the U.S. a glaring example of such bad decision by government based on misplaced consumer pressure.

Moving forward the hog, poultry and other farm sectors, even grain production in terms of chemical application on genetically modified varieties, will face more interference from such regulations and legislation.And that should be a future the World Pork Expo, and all farm meetings looking ahead should be discussing.

Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Canola

By Dave Cubbon, P Ag Cavalier Agrow Every year, the presence of sclerotinia stem rot is a possibility. In the past, I have seen losses of yield in canola crops over the 50% mark. This can represent over a 30 bushel per acre loss potential.

With the price of canola, this loss potential makes it important that canola growers understand what triggers the disease and what they can do about it.

The key to dealing with this disease is to

Grazing

Continued from page 7

These are some of the advantages to implementing and maintaining a well planned grazing program.

A grazing system doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming.

As long as the goals of the farm or ranch have been considered, and the principles of grazing management are being met, the system will work.

For more information on grazing systems or other forage topics contact your local Saskatchewan Agriculture Regional Office or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

understand what causes the disease and whether it is appropriate to apply control measures.

The disease is caused by spores produced by fungal bodies present in the soil that release spores in your air above your fields. Mushrooms form that produce these spores when the conditions are right. The mushrooms will form when the soil is warm enough and when there is moisture present.

Crop rotation and weed control play an important part in the risk associated with this stage of the disease. If a canola rotation is tight or susceptible weeds have been left to

thrive in past years, the risk of the disease goes up.

Environmental conditions at the time of spore release must also be considered.

The sclerotia bodies in the ground will release spores that will land on the flower petals of the plants.

If the petals will fall onto the other parts of the plants (surface of leaves and crotches of the stems) and rot into the plant tissue in this areas, the disease will result. For this to happen, the petal must be present on the plant tissue for 8 to 12 hours with adequate moisture. If the crop canopy is thin or the

weather is warm and dry, the wetness required is not present and the disease will not happen.

Timing of spraying with available fungicides is critical. The window for control with most fungicides is 10 to 14 days.

If a field is sprayed too early, the days of disease protection are reduced.

This will mean that any later infections of the spores can still do damage. If the fungicide is sprayed too late, control of the early disease present will be missed. One way to check to see if the spores are present on the petals of the canola flowers is to use a petal test kit.

This kit will tell when the infected petals show up in your field. This information is critical for the best possible disease control.

In general, the canola crop should be sprayed in the 30 to 50% bloom stage, usually at the earlier 30% range. Petal testing must begin at about the 10% bloom stage to be effective.

Sclerotinia stem rot is a disease that can be managed in canola. The key

to managing the disease is to understand what conditions create the high risk environments for the disease and understand the proper use of the tools to control the disease. For anyone that wants further information on what to look for, go to the Canola Council of Canada website or talk to your local agronomist.

Demers Shopping Centre celebrates 65 years What was supposed to be bowling alley, pool hall and lunch counter in Debden became cornerstone of the community for the past 65 years.

Quebec trained cheesemaker, Victor Demers, set out to build a business to create some employment for his family in 1945 but a few setbacks changed his course.

He was refused a licence to open a poolhall, so he decided to try his hand in the grocery business instead. That business eventually became Demers Shopping Centre.

Third generation owner, Dean Demers, wanted the same things his ancestors wanted when he got involved in the business full time in 1996 -- a stable job in his home community.

“When I started, I just wanted to have a job in town but now I’m at the point where I want to work in town and raise my family in Debden,” said Demers.

The current owner has organized a 65 anniversary celebration Wednesday June 27 at the store to recognize the accomplishments of grandfather, uncles and father.

“Sixty five years is a pretty good accomplishment for a family to keep a business running,” said Demers, who bought the business in 2008 after working there for 12 years.

“It’s definitely something to be proud of to be able to continue that tradition.”

Not only is the store the community’s grocery and hardware store but it is also a major employer with 24 employees,

The original Debden Grocery, later Debden General Store, The Demers brothers -- Bruno, Robert, Med and Phil.

including summer students and part-time staff.

The Demers story began in 1945, when Victor Demers had his sons eldest sons construct a building to house his new venture. When he was refused a licence to open a second pool hall in town, he opted to open a grocery store instead. That, too, came with roadblocks as he was first denied by supplier Shelley Brothers, in Saskatoon, for an account.

The company felt the timing just wasn’t right to open a store, as many items were still in short supply following the war.

Without previous quota allotments, the supplyer was unable to supply those items to those customers.

So the project sat on hold until September 1 of 1947 when Debden’s General Grocery store opened for business. The store opened with $1,200 in stock on the shelves and $68 in sales on its first day.

In 1949, Victor sold his half section of land to his brother-in-law Leo Couture for $10,000

which allowed him to stock his store even further.

Victor died suddenly in 1953, leaving the family with a decision

by Robert Demers, he said “For the first 35 years, we were open Saturday nights until 10 p.m. and sometimes later as people would come and do

Robert Demers -on the introduction of self serve shopping at Demers Shopping Centre to make about the future of the store. His widow, Annette, decided to press on with the business and eventually got each of her boys involved.

When the store first opened customers would come to the counter and the clerk would fill their order.

In a history compiled

their shopping, leave their groceries and go to the show or the bar and come and pick up their stuff once they had their horses hitched up.”

When they made the switch to self serve shopping, complete with shopping carts, they were met with some opposition.

“One of the first customers to see the carts said to us, If you think I am going to push a cart around, I am not shopping here anymore,” remembered Demers.

After 17 years of slow growth, the store finally outgrew its space. The boys bought the build-

ing on the corner of Main Street, demolished it and constructed their current building. They moved into their new home in 1964, which would be expanded three times by 1984. The final expansion brought the total floor space up to 13,000 square feet.

When the Codville Company took over the IGA franchises, Demers was the third store in the Prince Albert area to come aboard. They remained with IGA for 40 years, through a number of different suppliers before joining the Grocery People in 1997 to become a Big Way Foods.

On the hardware side, went through a number of name changes as well, jumping from Pro Hardware, to Demers’ Allied Hardware and finally Home Hardware.

Victor’s sons, some of whom were involved in the store prior to his death operated the store through the majority of its existence.

Bruno was at the store from the beginning and only retired in 2008, when the store was sold to his nephew Dean.

Robert came aboard in 1949 and ran the meat department for 50 years before retiring in 2003.

Medard finished school in 1953 and joined the store’s staff. He did a little bit of everything around the store until his retirement in 2003.

Dean’s father Phil, took a little bit longer to find his way into the family business. After finishing school he worked in a bank and then a finance company before joining the business in 1971. He served as the transitional manager and then the general manager from the 1990s until 2008. He stuck around in an advisory capacity to help Dean operate the store until his retirement in 2012.

The business landscape in the community in the 1940s was much different than it is today with a multitude of businesses including five stores, four car dealerships, a blacksmith shop, a multitude of farm machinery agencies, a livery barn, a drayman, three grain elevators and a railway station-- just to name a few.

As there was no shortage of competition in town, with four stores operating at the time the Demers’ opened their store, they looked for a variety of ways to make a dollar. Aside from groceries the store also dealt in used furniture, pulpwood, Senica root and raw furs.

The Demers boys also provided other services to maintain a business edge as Bruno did radio and TV repairs and was an SGI representative for 55 years and Robert operated a watch repair shop for 25 years.

WP Sandin grad –‘Every mile a Memory’ Every Mile a Memory, was the theme of the evening as 30 students received their diplomas from W.P. Sandin Public High School Friday night.

The W.P. Sandin gym was filled to capacity with family and friends in attendance to see their graduates into their next stage of life.

The evening opened with the traditional candle passing ceremony where the grads pass on the candle of knowledge onto a younger sibling or friend.

The evening’s emcee, Rhonda Berezowski opened the evening with a bit of levity before getting announcing the first speaker.

“They are extremely proud of you. You can’t imagine the sense of relief that they are feeling at this very moment.

This may be the most opportune time to ask for any money you want,” said Berezowski.

Sask Rivers School Division school trustee John McIvor, brought greetings from the school board.

McIvor taught the group in grade five at Shellbrook Elementary School and described them as “strong academically, artistically, athletically and they love to have fun.”

Principal Dawne Braaten gave the students some final advice before going off and living their lives after graduation.

“We each have our miles to cover, don’t forget to enjoy the ride.

Live life with passion, take chances, try different roads, believe in yourself and do what you love because you only live once,” said Braaten.

Dennis Sommerfeld was the evening’s guest speaker, passing on some wit and wisdom to his soon-to-be-former-students.

He told the class to

never say never, that not everything is going to work out the way they want it to, when in doubt go with your gut instinct, listen, never fear change, you can’t just sit around, and to never feel as though you are irreplaceable.

“With the exception of our immediate families, the world is going to get along really well without us,” said Sommerfeld.

Valedictorian Bailey Doucette thanked her classmates for being welcoming to her when she arrived in grade 9 and for the great memories they

have made together ever since.

She gave her fellow students some inspirational words to remember when trying to achieve their goals.

“Always remember, if you can dream it, you can achieve it,” said Doucette.

The grads disembarked the stage with their escorts to end the ceremony portion of the evening. The night’s festivities concluded with a grand march and a short dance.

Networks need to focus on the real news Are television newscasts losing sight of their presumptive mandate? It seems to me they used to be substantive, presented in hierarchic order, and tinsel-free.

A light tag-on item sometimes concluded the day’s news, but it would be a brief exit to an otherwise sober aggregate of stories.

There are notable exceptions, but these days I’m struck by how odd the order of news items often is--and by the frequent omission of important stories, on one hand, and the (often lengthy) inclusion of minor stories on the other.

The United States may have struck a promising new anti-terrorism accord with the new Pakistani government. But if a moose is on the loose in Keetchapoose, that’s the story the networks can’t seem to resist.

Hamas and Fatah militants may have begun shooting each other in the West Bank. Or both NASA and the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may agree “recent worldwide land warming has occurred largely in response to a worldwide warming of the oceans (related to the El Nino and El Nina phenomena) rather than as a direct response to increasing greenhouse gases.” But if a heat wave has hit Ontario or a panda has given birth in a zoo somewhere--guess what gets the big coverage.

It would almost be better to run nothing than to merely touch down on stories of major importance, then leave them before the viewer can get a better understanding--especially if it deals with foreign locations and exotic names. I

often think how sobering it would be if TV news producers would play such hitand-run reports for focus groups, then ask them to tell in ttheir own words w what they’ve just sseen and heard.

T The results would bbe hilarious.

Even on the llocal TV news, tthey run stories tthat leave one aasking, What was that all about? The golden rule from assignment editors to reporters ought to be: Make sure that the family next door can understand your story. Jonathan Swift used to read his material to his maid, to test for its ready comprehensibility. Reporters could do worse than trying something similar.

Then there’s the repetition thing. We may have been told days ago that severed hands and feet were delivered to political offices in Ottawa. Or that many robocalls were made during the last federal election. Or that Tickles the snake was stolen from the Saskatoon Zoo. But do we have to see the same story for days on end?

breakthrough of some kind--fine, let’s hear all about it. But as often as not, the exciting headline about “a breakthrough” in Alzheimer’s or diabetes or cancer turns out to be a possible breakthrough five or 10 years down the line.

Or a breakthrough that’s not so much a breakthrough as a hopeful possibility. Or a breakthrough for mice, but maybe not for humans.

Then there are the paradoxical health stories. One day it’s, Too much sun is deadly; the next, We all should be getting a bit more sun. Today, coffee good for you; last week, coffee bad for you.

Or it’s: Cell phones can cause cancer.

No, hold it. Another study says they’re harmless. These contradictory messages give no great cred to the world of medical research.

Local newscasts are generally worthy and informative. But guys, would you please cut back on those seasonal groaners--you know: Some tips for a safe Halloween; What couples are buying each other for Valentines this year; How to stuff that Thanksgiving turkey.

More civic reporting on previous stories of interest would be far more deserving of your cameras and reporters.

I know. If I don’t like the TV newscasts, I don’t have to watch them. But I’ve always been a news junkie, and the visuals that only television can give can be unmatchable. I just wish the major networks would jettison the funny stuff.

Hidden Hills sees executive grow The Hidden Hills Golf Club executive got a much needed influx of new blood at their annual general meeting Monday night.

With two long time members, Larry Herman and Ron Hollowell, stepping down, five people allowed their name to stand for election.

Perry Loth, Matt Sommerfeld, Jason McComas, Jerad Buckingham and Brian Tremblay are new to the executive while club president Murray Tait allowed his name to stand for re-

election.

The club financial report for the 2011 season showed a drastic increase in revenues over a cold and wet 2010 season while costs also skyrocketed.

Revenues increased to $363,558 in 2011 from $249,030 in 2010.

However direct costs, including restaurant/ lounge and grounds wages also increased from $56,708 in 2010 to $125,641 in 2011.

Restaurant/lounge wages increased by $31,190, from $32,708 to $63,898. The additional

cost of operating a full service restaurant lead the executive to drop restaurant service from the club house for 2012 -- offering only sandwiches, hotdogs and smokies while still offering catering.

According to treasurer Sally Gunderson’s report, the club already has a net savings of approximately $6,000 for 2012 as a result of not operating the restaurant. Meanwhile, the year to date net profit was also reported at $10,000 more than it was at this time last year.

The club’s revenue

jumped by more than $100,000 from 2010 to 2011. The club brought in $363,558 in 2011 through fees, restaurant sales fund raising and donations while 2010 garnered only $249,030 through the same means.

The club also passed a resolution to allow executive member Amund Otterson to remain on the executed while he is also employed at the course.

A rule in the constitution prohibits employees from being on the executive.

The Club is still working toward paying down

the $328,000 still owing on the irrigation and expansion project. The club still has an outstanding loan to the Town of Shellbrook in the amount of $193,705 while also owing $135,000 on a revolving line of credit.

In all the project cost the club $508,210 and a total of $174,953 has been raised so far.

Going forward the club will continue to lean on their Spring Fling fund raiser to help make the payments on the Town loan in addition to funds raised from through the

Best Canadian ballplayer: Joey Votto Ferguson Jenkins was the best Canadian baseball player ever, until Larry Walker came along.

Walker was the best until Justin Morneau came along. And Justin Morneau was the best until Joey Votto came along.

As we stand now, in 2012, the Cincinnati Reds’ Votto is undisputedly the best Canadian player in Major League Baseball and may go down as the best ever.

(Brett Lawrie of the Blue Jays might snatch that label down the road, but that could be a column five years from now — not 2012.)

Votto, a first baseman from Toronto recently signed a 10-year contract with the Reds for a reported $225 million, putting him into the Prince Fielder-Albert Pujols stratosphere of salaries. Prior to

putting his signature on that contract — likely the last one he’ll ever sign — there were whispers that he might become a free agent and sign with his hometown Blue Jays, making Toronto fans from coast to coast absolutely giddy.

As a Blue Jay, Votto in Canada would be a superduper star, with the summertime profile of Sidney Crosby, but he’s doing pretty well in that regard in his adopted Cincinnati, too. Columnist B.J. Bethel of Dayton, Ohio said signing Votto to a long-term contract was something the Reds had to do to convince their fans the team was serious about contending. He’s the Reds’ first bonafide superstar since the days of Barry Larkin and Eric Davis, Bethel wrote.

Now in his fifth full

season

with the Reds, Votto’s numbers are extraordinary — again. He has averaged more than 30 homers and 100 runs-batted-in per season and he’s on pace through the first third of 2012 for another MVPtype season. He won the National League Most Valuable Player award in 2010, thanks to a statistical season that ranks with anything the likes of Mantle, Williams, Aaron and Mays ever put together — 38 homers, 113 RBI and a .324 average. Flash in the pan? Not in the

Locals compete at Waskesiu’s Conexus Lobstick Shellbrook residents, past and present, represented well at the Conexus Lobstick in Waskesiu June 11 through 16.

Shellbrook’s Curtis Bloom came within one hole of advancing to the Championship flight final in his semi final matchup with Regina’s Cadmus Delorme.

Delorme, who went on

an amazing run winning the Open Championship and was the low qualifier of the tournament, defeated Bloom on the 18th hole on his way to winning his first Lobstick Championship. Delorme defeated Greg Swensen of Prince Albert to win the Championship flight.

Former Shellbrook resident Darren Hansen,

of Hinton, AB won the 7th flight with a win over Prince Albert’s Rene Hanchar.

Darcy Rask, of Shellbrook, lost in the 5th Flight Consolation to Brad Hritzuk, of Saskatoon.

Greg Dupuis, of Prince Albert was topped by Bob MacLean, of Edmonton, in the 10th flight consolation.

least. He’s a career .317 hitter and has home-run totals of 24, 24, 37, 29.

This year, he was batting .359 through June 17 and was among the NL leaders in all slugging categories. On-base percentage?

First. Slugging percentage? First. His numbers through 63 games put him on a 31-homer, 113-RBI pace, numbers that will certainly have Votto included in year-end MVP conversations if the Reds continue to dominate the NL Central Division.

Votto may never be a Blue Jay, but he’ll always be a Canadian favourite.

• Perisho again: “The Los Angeles Kings won their very first Stanley Cup, Monday. A winner once every 45 years; kind of like Hollywood marriages.”

• Steve Rushin of si.com: “Michael Buffer ushering in the Apocalypse at a monster truck rally would be less bombastic than NBA introductions.”

• Barach again: “A Tennessee man owes child support to 15 women after fathering more than 20 children. When hearing about this the players on the NBA Memphis Grizzlies sent him an honourary team jersey.”

• Perry again: “Golf fanatic B.J. Reichert of Whitehouse, Ohio, has one-year-old twin sons named Jack and Nicklaus, the Toledo Blade reported. Someday the kids will thank their lucky stars that dad wasn’t a big fan of, say, Duffy Waldorf.”
