Vehicles have been making it through the flooded area on Highway 3 west of Shellbrook, but there is a concern that the longer the area remains flooded, the weaker the roadbed will become.

Plan in place for Highway 3 flooding There is a plan in place to lower the water levels in the slough just west of Shellbrook that has flowed over the highway. However, not much can be done until the water in a nearby creek has subsided. The plan calls for dredging at the north end of the slough into the creek, which should cause levels to drop below the level of the highway. Rosthern-Shellbrook MLA Scott Moe said that Highways personnel are monitor-

ing the situation. Vehicles have been making it through the low spot, although there are reports of some large potholes that are not visible under the water, and there is concern, too, that the roadbed is weakening. Although there were no detour signs posted as of Monday, there are alternate routes that some motorists have been taking to bypass the trouble spot. Some have been turning north at the Hilldrop School

and going north to Canwood and then back down 55 to Shellbrook. Another route would be the old road south to Parkside and then back up to meet Highway 3 just outside Shellbrook. However, residents west of the flooding remain in a state of concern, since they are cut off from the nearest emergency canter, and any worsening of conditions could endanger the health and safety of people requiring emergency treatment.

LCS holds annual awards ceremony

The Leask Community School (LCS) held its annual awards ceremony on June 5. Along with the many awards that the students were presented with, a member of the staff also won a significant award. Ms. Lindsey Burym, Athletic Director at LCS, was the recipient of the Central Valley Athletic Council Female Coach of the Year Award. She won the award after Mrs. Allison Miller, Mrs. Marilyn Doucette and Mrs. Shannon Arcand submitted a nomination to acknowledge her efforts in reviving the sports program at LCS. Lindsey started her teaching career in LaLoche in 2005 and then transferred to Leask in the fall of 2007. Lindsey started coaching the Jr. Girls Volleyball team and by the 2010 season she expanded to coaching both the Jr. and Sr. Girls Volleyball teams. This year Leask Community School hosted the Conference Playoffs which was a great success. The Sr. Girls played hard and put their hearts and souls on the court along with the occasional broken fingernail! Another huge accomplishment that Lindsey has taken to task is to revive the Senior Track and Field at LCS. She organized the track meet last year and the results were written on the banner that proudly hangs in the LCS gym. Along with this award she has many other talents, not only as a teacher, athletic director and community member, but she is also a member of the ‘Famous Fab Five’. She is a good role model, friend, and co-worker. Everyone at LCS is very proud of her. As for the students, the subject awards were handed out as follows: Industrial Arts: Braydon Greyeyes, Edward Semaganis, Whitney Dreaver

Young community members voice their opinions

The grade seven class at W.P. Sandin embarked on an interesting assignment recently when they were asked to write editorials like ones they’ve seen in the newspaper. They have sent their finished products into the Shellbrook Chronicle, and over the next few weeks we will be publishing a few of them at a time so that their opinions may be heard. Poaching by Dane Poaching is when an animal is hunted out of season. There are laws against it because if there wasn’t then the animal would become endangered or extinct. When you catch someone poaching you have 2 options; turn them into a C.O. or just let them be. If you turn them in its known as T.I.P. (turn in poachers), you can choose to be anonymous and you will receive a cash reward of $2,000. There is a limit of 1 animal you can shoot each hunting season. When you are sustaining your family you don’t need a license or tags to hunt. Poaching should be illegal in all countries. When there is an animal injured or sick on the side of the road you have the right to kill it. When a C.O. sees you selling stuff he will ask you where your tags are and if you don’t have any then he has the authority to arrest you on the spot. My opinion on poaching is that it’s stupid because then it would get rid of most animals. Human Experimentation by Rhiannon I believe human experimentation is horrible, but so is animal testing. So who do we test on? Do we just let people die because we can’t do anything about it? If you do tests on someone you’re supposed to make sure it’s safe, right? In North Korea an experiment in which 50 healthy women prisoners were selected and given poisoned cabbage leaves. All of the women were required to eat the cabbage, despite cries of distress from those who had already eaten. All 50 died after 20 minutes of vomiting blood and anal bleeding. Refusing to eat the cabbage would allegedly have meant reprisals against them and their families. This happened at camp 22. Things like this happen every day at camp 22 and other camps. The doctors who do this all drink before they do surgery on these poor people. And yes these people are in jail but these are mothers and fathers and even the children and their only trying to survive the horrors of North Korea. The people who carry out these executions aren’t doing it for diseases they test poisons on them and weapons too. This isn’t right and no matter what they did they don’t deserve this fate none does if they killed 2 people and you did this to them than your just as horrible as them and worse. These people want to survive but they can’t. Let’s end this horror at Camp 22 and others. Dog Fighting by Evan I am concerned about dog fighting it is still happening in some developing countries. Dogs like Rottweiler’s and Pit Bulls, dogs that are big. They are put in a ring and forced to fight to the death. People who organize the dog fights are doing it for entertainment and if their dog wins they get a lot of money. We can stop this by making a difference on animal cruelty. My opinion on it is that it is very dumb that my favorite animal is dying for no apparent reason and I hate to see them hurt. It should be stopped and illegal in every country, and the people who organize dogs fights should be charged and in jail for a long time! Child Abuse by Lauren Hi today I’m going to talk about child abuse. About 906,000 children are abused each year. Its a horrible thing and it needs to STOP!! Child abuse is the physical, sexual and emotional maltreatment neglect of a child or children. The common ages of a child that is being abused is 8-12. Children are usually abused at home where no one can see them. Children are usually abused because the parent was abused as a child too, the parent could be stressed from financial issues or other thing’s and they take their anger on their child or children, also the parent could be an alcoholic or takes drugs and hurt their child or children. There’s not a lot we can do because we aren’t there when the abuse happens but you can tell a friend, anoth-

er family member or someone at school and hopefully they can help you. When children are abused it affects their appearance. Children can get broken bones (arms or ribs ECT). They can get bruises on their body. It also affects them mentally too, they get depressed and loose friends and they get lonely ,they can also turn in to BULLIES!! They get so mad, sad and frustrated that they take their anger on kids at school. Also when the child grows up they could abuse their child too. I think child abuse is a horrible and I want people to realize how bad it is. I wish we could have a world with no abuse or neglect, a world where children don’t have to worry about getting hurt. My question is will child abuse ever stop?? Not Enough Psychical Activity Issue by Paxton Physical activity is something that everyone can do. You don’t need to run a marathon or spend hours at a gym. Look for simple ways to be physically active every day, you could: Take a walk once a day, Take the stairs instead of the elevator, Spend less time in front of the

3

television or computer, Play actively with your kids, Walk, wheel or cycle for short trips or find out about walking and cycling paths nearby and use them. Health Canada encourages Canadians to integrate physical activity into their everyday life; at home, at school. Increasing physical activity has many benefits! Science has shown that when teens increase their daily physical activity, they decrease their chances of developing many diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. These are the awesome things about physical activity: Stronger bones, Lower blood pressure, Better balance, Better sleep, Better mood, Fewer aches and pains, More energy, Healthier heart and lungs, Reduce the risk for diabetes and some types of cancer, This is what happens when you don’t work out: Stiff joints, Heart disease, Diabetes, Weight gain, Low energy, Depression My opinion is that just get enough exercise that your body can be healthy. Just go outside and run around for a few minutes you don’t have to be there two hours. And try to sign up for sports you like so you can stay in it for a while and that are a good way to keep active.

The value of coffee and sticky notes Performing small acts of kindness or generosity can be so simple. They can be done for free or for cheap, they can be quick, they can be easy, and they can go a long way towards making someone else’s day. Despite all of this, however, many of us miss numerous opportunities every day to go that extra little distance. There could be many reasons for this. Perhaps, at times, the dog-eat-dog mentally creeps in and we focus more on our own survival than that of others. Perhaps the thought of lending a hand simply passes us by, which is why these good deeds are frequently referred to as “thoughtful”. Fortunately, there are a few movements making their way across the country that may help serve as a reminder of how simple, and how powerful, these sudden bursts of generosity can be. A warm cup of coffee, in itself, can make someone’s day. A free one can be even better, especially when one learns that the cup was not only free, but that it was paid for by a complete JON stranger who was buying his or her SVEC own cup earlier in the day. The phenomenon is part of some~ thing called “suspended coffee”, and Reporter involves flipping the barista some extra cash while making your purchase, cash that will go towards paying for someone else’s coffee at a later time. CTV recently reported that the movement began in Italy but is slowly making its way across Canada, with participating stores in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. The suspended coffee could go to someone who is down on their luck or homeless, but it could also be given to someone who just seems like These gestures they are having a bad day. CTV spoke to may seem Nez Hewitt, the owner of Roast Coffee small, but and Tea Co. in Alberta, who recounted perhaps that a story about handing a free, suspended is why they coffee to a man who was on his way to a are so funeral. When the man’s wife returned important to the store a few days later to tearfully thank them for the gesture—one that seemed to lift her husband’s spirits— Hewitt was offered a reminder as to why she decided to take up the practice of suspending coffees in her store. An isolated incident, one that many are hoping turns into a tradition, took place recently at William Aberhart High School in Calgary. As many people know, we are in the midst of graduation season for high school students and families across the country. As well as the ceremonies and gatherings, it has been a long-standing tradition for graduating high school students to execute a class prank. The prank is often lighthearted in nature, but can sometimes involve dangerous, illegal or destructive acts. The idea, I suppose, is that exiting students feel that their teachers and principals can no longer punish them, so they carry out one last prank to be remembered by. The 2013 graduating class at William Aberhart, however, had a different idea. Some students woke up early and made their way into the school to perform a prank on their classmates that was positive in nature. As students arrived to school that day, they found uplifting and encouraging notes stuck to their lockers. Things like “you matter” and “be confident” were scrawled on colourful sticky notes and presented to students and teachers alike. The gesture garnered national attention when CBC news picked up on the story. Hannah Rumpel, one of the students behind the prank, told the CBC that they wanted to do something that would allow people to feel good about themselves. “Especially in high school,” she said. “Everyone is really self-conscious and lots of bullying goes on and it’s just, it’s good to feel important in one way or another,” These gestures may seem small, but perhaps that is why they are so important. We are not talking about large donations or sacrifices, we are talking about tiny acts that everyone is equipped to execute. Sometimes, I suppose, it truly is the thought that counts.

That for sure is not fair play. Henry Neufeld Waldeck, Sask.

After all, it is an unconscionable amount for the rich, privileged son of Pierre Trudeau to be charging _ especially while drawing an MPs salary. And there’s the added bonus of taking on a Trudeau _ still a despised name in the West and among Conservatives everywhere. What better way to ingratiate yourself to Harper than to use one’s own credibility to take on Harper’s biggest foe? The problem, however, is that Wall might not have picked his spot very well. As it turns out, Wall’s own handpicked star candidate, former Roughrider Gene Makowsky, was also charging charities speaking fees while sitting as an MLA _ something he cleared with the conflict-of-interest commissioner. (He announced he was giving back the money after Wall’s criticism of Trudeau.) And while Makowsky’s $2,000 fee seemed rather paltry compared with Trudeau’s $20,000 charge, the principle remains the same. Moreover, Wall seemed to forget his own Sask. Party history involving Saskatoon Northwest MLA Serge Le Clerc _ its only MLA forced to resign in scandal. Part of that scandal included the use of his MLA office to run his lucrative speaking business. So while trying to lend a hand to Harper, Wall may have created a few problems for himself. It’s all part of Wall’s dilemma of picking the right time to throw his support behind Harper’s Conservatives.

YOUR TWO C ENTS ~

WCB project 64% higher than expected

Dear Editor, What would your boss say if you were responsible for a project at work and it went $13 million over budget? Think you would get laid off? Get a pay cut? Demotion? Most people would answer “yes”. The provincial government’s Workers Compensation Board (WCB) is saying “no.” The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), heard from a whistleblower about some significant cost overruns at the WCB – a crown corporation that handles workplace injury insurance. The whistleblower described how a software upgrade project had gone way over budget. No one appeared to be talking about it outside the organization so we decided to poke around a bit and see if there was any truth to the rumor. We discovered that the WCB did indeed go ahead with a software upgrade to their claims system back in 2009. They put out a tender and a company named FINEOS won the contract. According to documents obtained by the CTF, the original budget for the upgrade was $20.3 million. The project came in around $33.2 million; a whopping 64% higher than expected. This was no rounding error. We asked the WCB for details on what other companies bid for the original tender, but were told such information would cost $120. The crown corporation claims it would take someone six hours to respond to the request.

The WCB also wants $90 for documents that went to their board on the matter and $90 if you want to see the board’s minutes on this issue. Incredibly, they refuse to provide any audit documents or reviews on the upgrade and cost overruns. When we asked for the budget details to confirm the whistleblower’s cost overrun tip, we also asked for details on who was held accountable. After all, far too often government bodies just simply shrug their shoulders and move along as cost overruns pile up. The WCB informed us “no staff were demoted, suspended, received pay cuts or were dismissed.” However, the whistleblower claims there have been some departures since the debacle unfolded…but that the wrong people were let go. Whatever the case, perhaps more important than the accountability angle is the prevention angle; as in, what is the WCB doing to prevent cost overruns like this from occurring again? We also asked for information on internal audit documents or analysis since the FINEOS upgrade was complete, but those haven’t materialized yet. As the CTF continues to probe this issue, why not consider asking your MLA about the matter as well? The more people that start asking questions, the more likely we can get to the bottom of what happened and learn what the WCB is doing to prevent such a debacle again in the future.

Even organic grain producers must face hard choices Sitting at my favourite coffee shop the other day, talk of organic food came up. It started with mention that the sign for an organic food market was still hanging in a local strip mall window, but there hadn’t been many whispers going around when it might open. There was also the question brought about just how large a market there is for organic foods in a city such as Yorkton which is still relatively closely grounded in its agrarian roots. Certainly there is growing interest in what we eat, but for most that does not mean a ‘must-have’ commitment to buy only organic fare. That said major food retailers have obviously seen the trending interest in organic foods and now have aisles dedicated to the niche. The issue of course is what constitutes organic. National, government verified, standards for organics around the world are rather variable, if they exist at all. And there is a question about how far one, as a producer, wants to take organic production. Livestock producers in particular face issues such as whether to vaccinate stock, and if an animal is sick do they turn to medications to cure

the animal. Even organic grain producers must face hard choices, such as watching a crop being lost to insects when their neighbours are protecting their crops with insecticides. From the consumer perspective, the best source of organic is from your own garden where you can ensure exactly what is and isn’t applied to the garden. In most cases that means using comCALVIN mon sense, even for those not dedicated to organics. DANIELS I do not recall my parents spraying ~ the garden simply for the sake of spraying. That said when cabbage moths attacked, they would most certainly powder the patch to protect part of the food to be put away for the winter. If a person has no place to plant a garden, or does not want to get dirt under their fingernails, then dealing with a local producer directly, building rapport and trust, is the best avenue to ensure organic food is on the table.

In my own case I do understand being concerned about what we eat. Goodness knows a look at the list of additives in many processed foods is enough to raise questions, without even thinking about what a farmer did to the crop to grow it. But therein lies the conundrum for someone like me. I get the want for safe food, and that too many chemicals might be reason for concern. Then I shower and ready myself for work using shampoo, rinse, body wash, aftershave, cologne, toothpaste, mouthwash, antiperspirant and wonder what exactly is in each one I apply to my skin daily. If I were a woman the list would include a much longer list of beauty products. We also are quick to down athletic rehydration drinks, drinks that keep us awake by ‘giving us wings’, and down over the counter medicines for every headache, muscle strain, and cough we have. That is not to suggest these products are not safe, but they are not safer than the wheat grown on a Canadian farm either. Health awareness is a good thing, but it does not need to completely determine everything we eat, or how it is reasonably produced.

Wheat Growers support formation of Saskatchewan Commissions

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association endorses today’s announcement regarding the formal establishment of development commissions for wheat and barley in Saskatchewan. “The formation of these Commissions will help promote our wheat and barley in international markets and here at home,” says Levi Wood, President of the Wheat Growers. “It will also help ensure we have ongoing farmer-directed research into the production of these crops.” For the past several months Wheat Grower directors Cherilyn Nagel and Gerrid Gust have been serving on

the steering committee that has been working to develop the mandate and operational details of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (SWDC). Both have been appointed by Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart to continue to serve on the interim board of directors, with Cherilyn serving as interim Chairperson. “We’re quite excited to reach this milestone,” says Nagel. “Commissions have a good history of success in this Province in helping to promote and develop canola, pulse and many other crops. We are determined to see the same success happen in wheat and barley.”

The Wheat Growers are expecting the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission to take a leading role in promoting Canadian wheat and dispelling myths that have questioned its nutritional benefits. We also see the Commission as playing an important role in agronomic research and working to maintain and improve access to international markets. The Wheat Growers are also working to ensure the Saskatchewan wheat and barley commissions work hand in hand with existing wheat and barley commissions in Alberta, and the Manitoba wheat and barley association that is under development in Manitoba.

New commission to provide leadership in barley development Today, the interim Board of Directors of the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission, in conjunction with the provincial government, formally announced the establishment of the new commission. “This is an exciting announcement for Saskatchewan barley producers,” says Bill Cooper, interim board chair and well-known leader in Saskatchewan agriculture. “We see exciting opportunities on the horizon but we also see some challenges,” adds Cooper. ”The barley commission provides an important vehicle to address issues and strengthen

the industry. Our priorities in the short-term are to get the commission operational and move quickly into the development of the commission’s long-term strategic plan. During the consultations with producers, we heard about the importance of having a barley commission that will invest in research and market development. It’s now time to develop the plan to carry out that mandate.” In addition to Cooper, the interim board includes Bill Copeland from Rosetown, Todd Lewis from Gray, Tom Hewson from Langbank and Dennis Fuglerud from Outlook.

Fungicides on wheat By Dave Cubbon, P Ag - Cavalier Agrow Ltd. We have had a lot of rain. This is the type of weather that causes disease pressure in our crops. In the cereal crops, there is leaf spotting starting to show up. This leaf spotting will result in yield reductions if it is not treated. The two main leaf diseases that we see on cereals are septoria and tan spot. Fusarium shows up later in the season and has more implications for next years seed crop. The spraying program that must be initiated in the next week will be to control these diseases. Wheat can see significant yield reductions if these diseases show up in a field. Both diseases are caused by spores of the disease splashing up the plant with rain and dew. Once the disease is present on the plant, the heavy dews that have been present will move the disease around on the plant leaf.

With the rain that we have had in the last week, the diseases are present on all leaves that are in the field. The flag leaf is the leaf that produces most of the grain in cereals. This is because the flag leaf intercepts most of the light and is responsible for a high percentage of the photosynthesis of the plant. This leaf must stay disease free if top yields are to be obtained. With the excess moisture that we have in our area, the leaves that are present will need to be protected. Protecting these leaves will allow for maximum yield. Timing of the fungicide is critical for proper control of disease. With any fungicide that we have available, there is usually two weeks control. Control with fungicides becomes important when the leaf area affected increases past 15%. Because the disease is just showing up, we will not need to start the spraying of fungicides right away. The timing that

will likely work best will be late flag leaf. We have the earliest wheat fields in the early flag leaf right now so we could see some spraying in the next week. It is important to read the labels when determining when to spray. If the priority is to control tan spot and septoria, most of the registered products will work. If fusarium is the disease that producers wish to control, the timing of the spraying will be later. This is because fusarium, as a disease, affects the flowering parts of the plants and the seeds. This means that fungicide application must be delayed to a time period when these plant parts exist. We have had sound economic responses to the use of fungicides in this area. The timing of these products must be lined up to get the maximum benefit. Identify the disease, read the label and be ready to spray at the appropriate time. If you do this, you will put more bushels in your bins.

New long-term care facility starting to look like home It has been a long time coming, but members of the new Parkland Integrated Health Centre’s long-term care facility have made the move and are settling in to their new environment. They are currently in the early stages of organizing their space, finding out what works where, and

what is needed or not needed for the changes that they are working on. With every new day the staff are growing more and more confident in their new facility. Many residents are happy in their new home. Most feel that it is quieter, calmer, and that the floors are much

warmer. One resident commented that, ““It’s wonderful, I am happy to be here. I like it more than our old home.” While the staff understands that everyone is eager to tour the new facility, they want to make sure that the residents’ privacy is always considered. To set up a tour, simply call 306-747-2603 and arrangements can easily be made. The new home offers all of the amenities of any home, along with extras like the Cultural Room, Family Gathering Room and Meeting Rooms (Great Room). The Cultural Room is used as a spiritual space, library, quiet room or gathering room. The Family Gathering Room is located between Home A and B and will also be the home of Recreation Services. Recreation opportunities such as art classes, Resident Council meetings and various groups will be held there. Residents and family members are welcome to use this space whenever it is available. The Great Room (Meeting Room A and B) will be the hot spot for entertainment and larger family gatherings. To make a room booking call 306-747-2603. Generous donations continue to pile up while the facility continues to try and become as homey as possible for the residents. Things like a new barbeque donated by the Hospital Staff Social Fund, and large screen televisions donated by the Parkland Foundation have helped in this regard. There are several projects, however, still underway. Things like additional chairs and tables for the Family Gathering Room and the Great Room, an audio/video system and a small stage for the Great Room, a fridge and a stove for the Family Gathering Room, a moveable outdoor fire pit, raised garden boxes, an outdoor shed, gazebo, benches and various other items that will help make the space more like home. If you or a community organization would like to assist with any of these projects, contact Betty Danger, Manager of Long Term Care, or Trina Chamberlain, Recreation Coordinator.

Regional Parks provide outstanding outdoor experience

The following article will serve as part one of a twopart series on Regional Parks in the area. Part two will run on August 2, just before the next long-weekend, and will include Memorial Lake, Martin’s Lake, and Emerald Lake Regional Parks. By Jon Svec It is easy to notice the similarities. Prevalent greens and blues, air fresh from trees, often cooled on the water that contains both colours--the blue humming from underneath, the green reflections waving just off the shore. Campsites carved into the thick density of the woods, cleaned and primmed, some serviced to provide electricity and water, some bare and flat and wanting of a tent, some chairs and shared laughter. With all of their similarities, however, each park boasts unique characteristics, and each park offers something a little different to those who visit. No matter what you are looking for in your camping or outdoor experience, you will be able to find it at one of the areas many Regional Parks. The road to Sturgeon Lake dips and rises as it carries its travellers towards the Regional Park. You enter the park at the peak of a rounded hill overlooking the top of a forest—slight slivers of lake glinting through the foliage. The road carries you down through the gates, the tidy building to your left serving as concession stand and restaurant and store.

If you continue down through the main section of campsites you will see that they crest a sandy beach that sidles up to a wide strip of piercing blue water. Various pieces of playground equipment are dug into the grains, and to the right is a small structure full of boats and kayaks and canoes to be rented by the guests. Across the road from the entrance sits a large grouping of overflow campsites. In total there are 55 sites available to be rented at Sturgeon Lake, a Regional Park that was established in 1965. As the park approaches its 50th anniversary, members of the board are excited about another great summer. The park hosts its own fishing derby every year on the provincial free fishing weekend, which will fall on the weekend of

July 6 this summer. Tons of prizes will be available to be won, and a good time is sure to be had by everyone involved. A number of events are planned for the August long weekend at Sturgeon Lake as well. The park will host a horseshoe tournament, volleyball tournament, and a barbeque on the beach. The festivities will culminate with a fireworks demonstration that will take place by the waterfront, providing campers the option of watching the show from dry land or from a boat floating on the lake. The Canwood Regional Park offers a fairly different experience than that of Sturgeon Lake. It does not contain a body of water, but is instead built around a number of drier activities. Once you pass through the front gates and approach the park the first thing you notice is the vast expanse of a pristine golf course. The nine-hole, sand green course has been around since the very early 1960’s. It was originally built to have seven holes but was soon expanded, and about 12 years ago the course received another upgrade in the form of watered fairways. Aside from the golf course, the park also features a number of extremely well maintained shale ball diamonds embedded right into the thick of the Canwood Regional Forest. A number of local and visiting patrons choose to use the park for a variety of functions each year. It is an ideal location for picturesque wedding or graduation photos, and the seclusion of the park, as well as the presence of shelters that can be gathered under in the case of rain, make it the perfect setting for a family reunion. The park also hosts a large ball tournament each summer, with as many as 20 teams making their way to the campgrounds for the weekend. All of this, plus the addition of nine new electrical sites that have just been completed, should add up to a great summer at Canwood Regional Park. The Morin Lake Regional Park is accessed through a well-beaten path that takes you west of the village of Debden. As you approach the hamlet of Victoire you begin to see the jutting greenery of the park, and as you ease your car through the entrance way the trees begin to shadow and envelop you into their folds. A few turns and you reach a clearing full of skies and sand and a quiet sheet of water. The lake is wide and ideal for boating or fishing or swimming or any other games that young minds can dream up to be played. Morin Lake Regional Park is centred around the water and all of the activities that go along with it, and like many of the Regional Parks, it is extremely family-oriented. Besides all of the exploring that can be done in the lake and the woods, in June the park installed a brand new playground facility for young campers to enjoy. The park will also offer swimming lessons from July 7-21.

The park at Morin Lake is another great location to host a wide range of functions. One unique aspect of the park are the Reunion Grounds. This section of the park includes 15 campsites that are separate from everything else, making it possible to almost rent your own campground for the weekend. The Reunion Grounds also include two baseball diamonds, a large campfire pit, and a large pavilion complete with a kitchen and a bathroom. Besides hosting reunions, the grounds have also hosted baseball tournaments, weddings and other types of large gatherings. While many of the local Regional Parks are isolated in varying degrees of wilderness, the Big River Regional Park is located right in the heart of the town of Big River. The park actually spans two different locations that sit kittycorner to each other, each containing a number of campsites. Since the park is located in town, campers can take advantage of all the amenities available in Big River, including grocery stores, restaurants and banks. The park also boasts some shale ball diamonds, and there is a golf course in town for campers to take advantage of. Aside from the comforts of the town itself, many campers use the Big River Regional Park as a central base as they set out to the surrounding areas for their outdoor adventures. “A lot of campers come in . . . and they park here and they want a map of the surrounding lakes, and they pick a different lake every day,” one representative from the park said. The park has a large celebration planned for Canada Day. The festivities will begin the

evening of June 30 with a barbeque on the Cowan Lake Campground. The celebration will continue on July 1 with a pancake breakfast to start things off, followed by events all day that are geared towards the kids. The event will be capped off with a large fireworks show at night. Aside from all of the upcoming special events going on at the many Regional Parks in the area, any time is a good time to visit any of these locations and take-in some fishing, golfing, camping, or to simply head out and enjoy the outdoors.

Report from Legislature

With graduation upon us, the future has never been brighter for young people in Saskatchewan. The latest population numbers reveal that in the first four months of 2013, we grew by more than 4,000 people to a new record high of 1,093,880. Saskatchewan remains the place to be in Canada for career opportunities and a great quality of life. For far too many years, leaving Saskatch-

ewan for school or career after graduating from high school was as much a part of spring in our province as seeding. Not only were young people leaving by the hundreds, our economy was one of the weakest in the country and we had a government that seemed disinterested in doing anything about it. Fast forward to Saskatchewan in 2013. Our economy is one of the strongest in Can13065DX01

ada, our population is higher than it’s ever been and there are opportunities for young people. Unlike the NDP, your Saskatchewan Party government is taking action to ensure they have the tools they need to take advantage of those opportunities. This way, they can start their careers and families at home. One of the first things we did was introduce Canada’s most aggressive Graduate Retention Program (GRP). Under the GRP, post-secondary grads can access a refundable tax credit of up to $20,000 – basically allowing them to recover the entire cost of an undergraduate degree. There’s also the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship.

We are also taking action to help parents save for their kids’ education in the form of the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings (SAGES) program. Our government will provide a contribution to Registered Education Savings Programs (RESP) at a rate of 10 per cent of annual contributions up to a maximum of $250 per year.

Under our government, post-secondary institutions are receiving more support. Funding for the U of R, the U of S, SIAST and regional colleges has increased every year since 2007. There are significantly more training seats to specifically address challenges around the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals and skilled tradespeople such as welders or electricians. With an anticipated need for 60,000 more workers by 2020 as identified in our Growth Plan, we taking action to ensure that need is met.

Grey Cup fever already in Regina

It will be cold and it will be festive and a lot of booze-filled fans will be feeling neither pain nor a chill on Nov. 24 when the two best teams collide in the Grey Cup Game on the Mosaic Stadium turf at Taylor Field, but the big question is: What colour uniforms will the players on the field be wearing? People from Carlyle to Lloydminster, from Hudson Bay to Cadillac will be hoping that at least one of the teams is wearing green, because that would mean their beloved Roughriders are in the annual Canadian Football League classic in their own back yard. That’s one of the story lines as the 2013 CFL season kicks off this week: The Grey Cup will be held in Regina for only the third time in the league’s 101-year history and if the Green Riders are in the big game, they will have pulled an upset or two along the way. Riders’ fans, of course, always think every year is their year, but if the Western representative in the Grey Cup is not the B.C. Lions, then there will be many surprised fans in the other nine provinces. In a quarterbacks’ league, the Lions have, in Travis Lulay, the league’s best pivot. He was recently ranked as the second-best player in the league in a poll of football writers and broadcasters, and was joined by eight of his team-mates on that Top-50 list. (No. 1 was Chad Owens of the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts.) Only Montreal Alouettes, led by QB Anthony Calvillo, had more on that Top 50 list (10). A couple of other interesting story lines as the CFL season gets under way involve the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. One of the questions about the Bombers is this: Are they as

Green between the lines - Exploring the Riders’ Canadian content

By Jon Svec The Canadian Football League’s slogan states that “this is our league”. When seen in print, the “our” of the phrase is often in bold for emphasis, and it refers to, well, us— Canadians. To the league’s credit, there has been some effort put into helping the league stay “ours”. The reason this is necessary is that a fairly widespread belief exists that states that Americans are better than Canadians at football. I am certainly not here to dispute this, but I do feel that the perception sometimes gets out of hand, and oftentimes it is assumed that one individual is a superior player to another simply because he was imported. Perhaps this starts at the coaching level. Currently, out of the eight head coaches in the CFL, only one, Mike Benevides of the BC Lions, is Canadian. Head Coaches often bring in their own assistant coaches, so we see coaching staffs throughout the league that are littered with individuals who grew up knowing only the American game. Coaches tend to favour the players and the systems that they are familiar with. Perhaps this is why it’s been so long since we’ve seen a star Canadian quarterback, or why we see teams trying to play Cover 2 on a field that’s just too wide for it. The league does have rules in place regarding Canadians and imports. Once the

season gets going, a CFL team is allowed to have 46 active players on its roster, and 42 are available to dress for any given game. Three of those 42 dressers are quarterbacks, and currently there are no restrictions as to whether any of those quarterbacks must be Canadian or not. There has been speculation that this will someday change, but we’ll have to wait and see about that. Out of the other 39 players, 20 of them must be Canadian. Since most teams have three imported quarterbacks, the final numbers usually equate to 22 imports and 20 non-imports. At the end of the day, I suppose it doesn’t really matter how coaches feel about Canadian football players, since they are forced to use them. If they want to by successful they will assemble the best Canadian talent possible, and it seems that the Roughriders have done a pretty good job of it. Wide receiver Rob Bagg will be entering his sixth season with the Riders in 2013. Bagg had a stellar career at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, but was still forced to come into the CFL through the back door as an undrafted free agent in 2007. Since 2008, Bagg has amassed 1,935 receiving yards, despite missing most of 2012 with a knee injury. Another intriguing player is Canadian receiver Jordan Sisco. Continued on Page 15

Saskatoon Angels won the 2013 Dry Creek Penquin fastball tournament.

Saskatoon Angels win tourney The Annual Dry Creek Penguin Summer Classic fastball tournament featured 8 women teams and 12 men’s teams from Edgerton, Alta, Saskatoon, Regina, Canoe Lake, Debden, Canwood/Shellbrook, Speers, Prince Albert, Warman, Rhein, and the host team Dry Creek Penguins. This was also the 65th season the Dry Creek Penguins have fielded a team. The rain posed some problems but the teams played through some of the showers throughout Saturday. The last games on Saturday night had to be postponed until Sunday morning. The diamonds stood up to the 1 1/2” of rain Saturday night and the tourney continued Sunday at 8am. The men’s semi finals saw the Saskatoon Angels outscore Dry Creek and Regina Silverscreen defeat the Degeer Dynamos. The Angels went on to win the tourney in a close final game to take home the $1000 first place cheque.

The Consolation side was won by the Debden Outlaws who defeated the team from Speers. The Women’s division’s semifinals saw the Saskatoon Synergy defeat the Prince Albert Midget Aces and Saskatoon Grumpy Cats beat the Saskatoon Co-op Elite. The first place $850 prize went to the Saskatoon Grumpy Cats in another well played final. Saturday night’s cabaret featured the band Dust til Dawn. The weekend would not have been successful without the help of the Canwood Multiple 4-H club who operated the concession booths. Thanks to Land P Second Hand store for the use of the trailer for the weekend. There were also many other volunteers who worked the gate, kept score, worked the beer gardens, maintained diamonds and assisted with the clean up after the tournament was complete.

GOOD NEWS ~

by Dave Whalley DLM(R) Knox United Church We are coming to the end of Graduation season in Canada. The season has been in full swing since the middle of May. We see graduations of Kindergartens, Grade 8, Grade 12, Universities, trade and technical schools. There are probably other graduations I have not mentioned. Graduation to me represents the completion of a milestone in learning at whatever level. I have been reflecting on Romans 8:28 – “We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to God’s purpose for them.” The first thought that I get from this verse is that we are to learn from life experiences, then pass that message on to others. I know that some people would read into this verse something like this, “God works good into all things.” This is just not true. Not everything that is going to happen

in our life is going to be good to our eyes. All we have to do is look around us, and we can see that a lot of bad things are happening in the world right now. We will experience good and bad things, as well as things that we have no immediate understanding of. This is where and when we must have a strong faith to overcome adversity in our lives. I encourage each of you to learn from your life experiences and grow personally from those experiences. From these learnings, we can go out into our world and make a positive difference. After all, we really are our “Brother’s keeper”. I must tell you a secret. It is a very important secret. “Education does not stop with graduation from high school, or university, or technical school – it is only really just beginning.” Be sure to share this secret with others. Some of you may be disappointed to hear this, but the reality is that life is the greatest classroom there is. Learn from life, and then go and apply those learnings to better our world. The greatest achievement that we can have in our own life, as directed by Jesus is “Go make difference in our world.” It is by praying to God to know the difference between right and wrong and then making a choice, that we are able to discern God’s will for us. Live life so that you can look in the mirror and see yourself as a person who does not stand ashamed of yourself. We all make mistakes and when we do – admit it – ask for forgiveness – and move on to make a difference. Learn those things in life that hold real value in our world. Graduation to me is not a signpost that says the learning is completed. Graduation is God’s challenge to each of us to further our journey of learning, so that when our lives are finished on this earth, we know that we have left the world a better place for others.

Green between the lines

Continued from Page 13 He has yet to break out with the Riders, hauling in only seven passes for 103 yards last season, but his impressive university career with the Regina Rams earned him an invitation to the 85th Shrine Game in Orlando in 2010. Regina native Chris Getzlaf has racked up 2,589 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns since 2007. He hauled in a career high 65 catches in 2012, and for his efforts last year he was named a CFL West Division All-Star. University of Saskatchewan product Scott McHenry started eight games last season at receiver for the Roughriders, and contributes to the team on special teams as well. As far as the backfield goes, fullback Neil Hughes will be returning for his tenth season with the team. Hughes was born and raised in Regina, and played football for the University of Regina Rams, making him a true homegrown product. As with most CFL teams, a large portion of the Riders’ Canadian content can be found on the offensive line. When they were forced to cut their roster down to 54 players on June 22, six of their remaining seven offensive linemen were Canadian, not including Patrick Neufeld who is currently on the nine-game injured reserve. 2012’s first overall draft pick out of the U of S, Ben Heenan, took most of the snaps at right tackle in the preseason. He struggled a little dealing with speed rushers off the edge, but that will most likely be his spot to lose when the season begins. Beside him at guard is seventh year player Chris Best, a Calgary native who played at Duke University as an undergraduate and came back over the boarder to play at the University of Waterloo while obtaining his Master’s Degree in Engineering. While at Waterloo, Best won the J.P. Metras Trophy in 2006 as Canada’s top lineman. Dominic Picard out of Laval will pay centre, and backing him up will be this year’s fourth overall draft pick Corey Watman of Queensville, Ontario. Watman played his university ball at Eastern Michigan University. At left guard should be Brendon LaBatte, a sixth year player who was born in Weyburn, SK and

attended the University of Regina. A couple of key players on the defensive line are Canadian as well. On the inside, veteran defensive tackle Keith Shologan will be entering his sixth season with the squad. The Spruce Grove, AB native has collected 107 tackles and 11 sacks since 2008 while playing a position where the stats tell only a fraction of the story. New acquisition Rickey Foley joins the Riders hot off his Most Valuable Canadian performance in last year’s Grey Cup, a game that was played in Toronto, a short drive from the defensive end’s hometown of Courtice, Ontario. On the back end of the defense, elder statesman Mike McCullough, the St. Francis Xavier University product, will have to begin his eleventh season on the injured reserve list. Second year linebacker Samuel Hurl out of the University of Calgary will look to make an impact, as will new acquisition Tristan Black from Toronto. It seems as though Craig Butler, an All-Canadian defensive back during his days at the University of Western Ontario, will be making the move to outside linebacker for his third season with the team. Canadian defensive backs Graig Newman and Paul Woldu will hope to contribute on special teams and on defense again in 2013. We can glean from the cutting of Brody McNight that Laval product Chris Milo has won the kicking job to start the 2013 campaign. If there is one thing that he and veteran long snapper Cory Hulack from Winnipeg understand, it’s the importance of the kicking game in Canadian football.

Canwood Seniors and the Grade 5/6 Class and CCPS Staff.

“Digging in the Dirt” program This spring, Canwood Seniors #80 partnered with Canwood Community Public School, Mr. Korody and his Grade 5/6 Science class in a special project called “Digging in the Dirt”. The students had several classes and sessions with the seniors where they learned about different types of plants and flowers and their care. These sessions included a trip to a local green house and

Our village now has many “Flower Planters” set out around the town to beautify our community. To wind up the project and say thank you for their help the Seniors held a hot dog lunch for the students.

We would also like to especially thank family and friends who came to remember Bob. On the passing of Doris Holland on June 15, 2013 the family would like to express appreciation to all who have cared for Doris in her lifetime. The past four years, especially have not been easy, but many people helped

her as she went along the path that she was on. Thank you to our Shellbrook Home Care staff who give so much of themselves when assisting their clients. Thank you to the wonderful, caring staff of Parkland Terrace/ Parkland Health Centre for their understanding and for always treating Doris with respect. Thank you to dedicated visitors, Ella and Marie. Thank you to the volunteers who offer spiritual and social support to the people living in the Home and to the school children who come to visit. Thank you to the staff of

Beau “Lac” Funeral Service for all that they did. Thank you for all expressions of sympathy that we have received and for memorials donations which will be directed to the Parkland Integrated Health Centre. - Sincerely Karin Moore.

Mobile phone dos and don’ts Mobile phones are ingrained in our everyday lives. Few people leave home each day without their mobile phones. But as mobile phones evolve, so, too, do the rules of mobile phone etiquette and safety. According to Retina-X Studios, more than 75 percent of American teenagers now have a mobile phone. The International Telecommunication Union says that, by the end of 2011, about 87 percent of the world population had cell phone subscriptions Mobile phone companies in the developed world have admitted that cell phone plans have reached the saturation point, with at least one subscription per person. As billions of people use mobile phones to talk, download data or send text messages, new concerns have arisen. These concerns largely involve security and etiquette. Many people insist on taking every call, forgetting about common courtesy to those around them, whether in a restaurant or in a meeting. Mobile phone users looking to take a considerate and safe approach to their usage should consider the following guidelines. DO be accessible, but filter phone usage. Keep your phone stored out of sight when you are with another person and don’t feel the need to check the display every two

minutes. Keep the phone at a low volume or on vibrate. DO enforce personal cell phone rules and those for other members of the family. Such rules may eradicate phone usage during meals or those times when homework or office workneeds to be done. Some families have even adopted a period during the day when members have agreed to turn their phones off. DON’T get involved in lengthy conversations via texting. Texting is meant to be brief and to the point. Too much information can be misconstrued through text messaging, and it is not always the best way to communicate. If you have something to say that can’t be expressed in a few words, make a phone call instead. DO use a phone that supports key features like encryption and password protection. Mobile phones are much more than just phones. Now they are mini-computers, making users susceptible to identity theft. DON’T reveal personal information you don’t want the world to know while talking on a phone. Very often people raise their voices when talking on a mobile phone, and many others can overhear the conversation. Avoid discussing medical or personal information on a phone. DO recognize phones come equipped with global positioning systems and other software that could compro-

mise your privacy. Read the manual to learn how to turn off such features if you so desire. DON’T use mobile devices to update social media sites during work hours if this behavior is frowned upon. Employers may be able to see the time stamp of your post, which could lead to disciplinary action. DO wait for the right time to check missed calls. People survived decades upon decades without being in constant contact with others. It is possible to wait to check your messages, especially when you’re spending time with someone else. DON’T use texting as a way to avoid uncomfortable situations. Some things are better said in person. Rather than texting a declined invitation, make the call. Do not use texting as a means to avoid other people. DO respect others’ privacy. Do not take pictures of others and post them online without permission. Also, do not assume they want you to update social statuses indicating you are with them at a particular location. Your friends may prefer their whereabouts remain private.DON’T assume you have any privacy with a mobile phone. Calls can be tracked, as can text messages.
