Shellbrook receives grant for spray park Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback made a splash in Shellbrook this week with the announcement of $39,362 in infrastructure funding to go toward the construction of a spray park in Shellbrook. Hoback made the funding announcement at the Shellbrook Municipal office on behalf of Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. “Our Government is committed to creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity in our communities,” said Hoback. “By improving community facilities like the swimming pool in Shellbrook, we are assisting the economic boom in Saskatchewan by helping municipalities upgrade recreation services, in order to accommodate their expanding populations.” The funding for the project was made available through the Federal Government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) The spray park will take the place of the decommissioned paddling pool at the Shellbrook Swimming Pool. In recent years the paddling pool had been utilized less and less as its components were frequently breaking down and had become very costly to operate. The spray park will be easier to maintain and less costly to operate. Hoback sees the project as a key one for Shellbrook as it gives families in a growing community one more way to spend a hot summer day while making use of an obsolete piece of infrastructure. “We see a town like Shellbrook. It’s growing and attracting younger families. You’ve got to have the recreational facilities for them to use,” said Hoback, noting that many of these facilities are used on a regional basis. Deputy Mayor Lois Freeman believes that the addition of the spray park will have a positive impact on the community. “We are extremely pleased to be awarded this support,” said Deputy Mayor Lois Freeman. “ This allows us to upgrade a facility in our community that is in dire need of replacement. The swimming pool facility attracts many people and with a new splash (park) the facility will be utilized by many more.” From June to August each year, the outdoor pool sees plenty of use from people from across the region. Freeman sees this as an additional draw to the community which will see local businesses flourish with extra traffic. Continued on page 2

Highway 40 paving halted until 2013 Winter maintenance of the unfinished construction area on Highway 40, west of Shellbrook, will be shared between the Department of Highways and the contractor according to a ministry spokesperson. Like any other highway in the province, snow and ice removal will be the responsibility of the Department of Highways while maintaining the flat surface of the road will be the responsibility of the contractor, Anderson Paving. According to Doug Wakabayashi, Director of Communication for the Ministry, the contractor will be responsible for filling potholes and maintaining the road surface and is expected to install sufficient signage to warn drivers about rough sections of road, through the winter.
The contractor completed a section of the northbound lane during a recent period of warm weather but has since stopped work on the construction. A section of road from the Highway 3 Junction headed south is now paved on both sides of the road while two long stretches of the highway, east and west of Parkside, remain unpaved. Wakabayashi said that they are now hoping for a hard freeze so that the unfinished sections will set. The worst case scenario would be a freeze and thaw cycle, which would lead to muddy, rutted road conditions. The forecast, according to Accuweather.com, calls for freezing temperatures through Friday before rising to daytime highs of +1 degree celsius Saturday through Monday.

Shellbrook receives CIIF funding for spray park
Continued from page 1 The pool was originally built in 1971 by the Shellbrook Kinsmen Club with a $25,000 budget for materials. Labour was provided by friends, family and members of the Kinsmen club. Upon its completion, the Kinsmen Club turned the pool over to the Town of Shellbrook. A design has been chosen for the park and construction is expected to commence sometime in 2013. CIIF supports, on a costshared basis, repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure accessible to the public. Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) is delivering the Fund in Western Canada with an allocation of $46.2 million over two years.

Local air cadet receives glider pilots license Shellbrook’s Matthew Stewart had no idea when he joined air cadets five years ago that it would take him to such heights. Stewart, a Sergeant in Prince Albert’s 38 Anavets Squadron, completed a glider pilots scholarship program in Gimli, Manitoba, this summer. “It’s a lot better than being in a car. It’s extremely quiet, sometimes bumpy and sometimes smooth. It feels pretty great, the freedom there,” said Stewart. He qualified for the program only after a stringent selection process starting with an application and essay and finishing with selection boards. He completed five weeks of ground school and passed the test before moving onto his flight test, ultimately receiving his license.

In the end, he got about 14 hours of solo flight time after receiving his license and spent a total of 30 hours in the air. His hobby through his school years also figures into his plans once he graduates. He plans to either enter the Royal Military College to study applied physics so that he can become a fighter pilot or enter a commercial pilot program. Either way, he plans to make his living by flying. None of this was on his radar when he joined the air cadets in 2008. He was just looking for a different recreational opportunity while meeting new people. But he soon learned of the possibilities. One of the senior cadets at the time had taken the power aircraft scholarship program -- the most advanced program within the Air Cadets. At that point, Stewart decided that was something he wanted a shot at and has been working toward it ever since.

Snowbirds should seek travel insurance If you find yourself migrating south during the cold winter months, keep in mind that your provincial health insurance policy isn’t likely to cover claims while you are in a different country or province. A travel insurance policy, however, can fill this coverage gap. Travel medical insurance can save you hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket medical expenses for a relatively small cost. Most travel insurance policies, which are available to an individual, a family or an individual plus travel companion, offer coverage for physician services, hospital expenses, diagnostic tests and prescription drugs. You can also request coverage for death or dismemberment and other circumstances. If you travel south annually, be sure to inquire about a multi-trip policy, which offers a lower premium.

Parents know all too well what it means to have a small child with a cold. The challenges of sleepless nights and the constant coughing, sneezing, and runny noses are only compounded by the search for a safe and effective remedy to help relieve their children’s discomfort. There was a time when parents had an arsenal of decongestants, antihistamines and cough syrups to administer. All of that changed, however, in 2009 when Health Canada required manufacturers of over-thecounter cough and cold medicines to re-label these products stating that they should not be used for children under the age of six.
“When cold season hits our household, it’s my 3-year-old who suffers the most,” says Jasmin Fitch. “The rest of us are usually able to find relief with the variety of choices at the pharmacy, but as someone who reads labels carefully, I would never give my youngest an over-thecounter cough medicine when the dosing is only for those over six years of age.” Like the changing of the seasons, colds and coughs are not about to disappear. A new, naturallysourced cough syrup called Helixia (www.helixia.com) may, however, offer help. For Dr. Johanne Blais, MD MSc. (F), CCMF, a reliable treatment op-
tion for effectively managing colds and coughs in young children is a welcome tool. “Parents have generally been doing an admirable job of trying to relieve the symptoms of cold and cough but it hasn’t been easy,” says Dr. Blais. “I think parents will absolutely appreciate another option to help the whole family get through those inevitable coughs and colds.” According to Elise Vezina, Vice President of Pendopharm, a division
of Pharmascience Inc., clinical studies suggest this new product is both effective and indicated for children under six. “We are proud to offer Canadian parents a remedy that has been trusted around the world for more than twenty years.” The non-drowsy formula is made from dried iv y leaf extract, has a pleasant honey taste, and is free of sucrose, gluten, dyes and alcohol. It is now available in most pharmacies in Canada.

Who should cover the cost of municipal infrastructure? Once again Shellbrook hit the funding jackpot with the announcement of nearly $40,000 in funding for a spray park in the community. The new facility will be partially funded by the federal government's Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF). Over the past five years the community has been the recipient of more than $26 million in infrastructure funding between the federal and provincial govBRAD ernments. DUPUIS The sewage lagoon, deep well, Shellbrook and Districts Inte~ grated Health Complex and the News 2nd Avenue sewerline replacement project are examples of projects funded, in part, with government money. Without the government contribution, the bulk of those projects wouldn't have been completed. The Town's waste water system had fallen way behind the needs set out by Sask Environment. The fi x turned out to be a $7.6 million lagoon system. That's about $5,066 for every person living in the municipality. If not for the government, how else do we fund these projects? Basically we don't. Meanwhile, fund raising the $5 plus million local share of the Shellbrook and Districts Health Services project has seen its share of challenges so it's pretty safe to say that paying for the whole shot would be pretty much impossible. Municipalities can try to budget for their future needs but they can only foresee so much. Regulations change, pipes break, infrastructure wears down prematurely and the municipality is left holding the bag. The problem is that smaller communities have to have far more infrastructure than their tax base can feasibly afford just to meet government standards. It isn't reasonable for towns and villages to shell out millions of dollars for anything because there simply isn't enough people to pay the bill in addition to the taxes already collected to provide services. It's great to know that there are grant funding possibilities available for villages and cities alike but more needs to be done on a consistent basis. Sure, a lot of public money has been spent in these parts over the last few years but much of that was made available as a result of the economic downturn. Without this stimulus funding Shellbrook would not have built a new sewage lagoon, the Big River First Nation would not have built the Sergeant Darby Morin Centre of Excellence and the Town of Big River would not have been able to execute its' Destination West tourism strategy. One has to wonder if these types of investments will be made once the federal government rights its ship.

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: BASED ON RECENT PLAY, DO
STARS a non-profit charity
Funerals and burials
Editor: When it comes to providing the last offering of assistance any Canadian Veteran will ever need, that being the financial assistance to cover the costs of their funeral and burial, what is the Canadian government waiting for? The Legion first identified this issue at its 2008 national Dominion Convention. Again in 2010 it was identified to government as a high priority issue. In 2012, The Royal Canadian Legion unanimously passed a resolution at Dominion Convention and presented a statement to the Minister of Veterans Affairs calling on the Government to take any and all necessary action immediately to increase the Veterans Funeral and Burial Program services. The Royal Canadian Legion is dismayed by the inaction of this Government to bring the long overdue improvements to funeral and burial benefits for Veterans and their families. Instead, it appears the Government’s priorities are out of sync with the desires of not only Canada’s Veterans, but also of the public as a whole. The groundswell of public feedback to the media coverage of this issue over the past two weeks is clear indication of this. On the 8th of November Veterans Affairs Canada was proud to announce it is spending $3.5 million on advertising campaigns, social media and “cool prizes” to promote Remembrance Day. While it is important to keep the memory of Canada’s military service alive, this spending could not be more misplaced. Continued on page 6

Shellbrook Chronicle Polling Question
YOUR TWO CENTS ~
Dear Editor, I am writing today to clarify information about STARS air ambulance. A patient-focused organization, STARS is a nonprofit charity, not a private company which was inaccurately stated in a recent letter that appeared in your newspaper. STARS is funded through donations from individuals, service groups, business, municipalities, and through a collaborative agreement with the provincial government. As a non-profit charity, we adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Canada Revenue Agency and are governed by a volunteer board of directors. STARS works closely with our partners in emergency services, including ground and fixed wing (airplane) ambulances and hospitals to find the most suitable transport for critically ill and injured patients. In some instances, when time and geography is a factor in getting a patient to the required emergency care they need, helicopter air ambulance may be the best choice. In other cases, ground or fixed wing ambulance services provide the patient with the best possible emergency care and transport. These decisions are physician driven and made as part the emergency 9-1-1 system. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this misunderstanding. Our website www.stars.ca has more information available for those who want to learn more about our charitable organization and the service we provide.

Report from the Legislature
Investing in infrastructure was identified as priority in our government’s recentlyannounced growth plan. If we’re going to grow our population to 1.2 million by 2020, we need to take action now to ensure we have the infrastructure to support that bold goal. Last week, our government released fall tenders for Highway and Infrastructure construction; this is the first phase in preparing for the 2013 construction year. This tender includes 40 projects made up of 19 construction contracts, eight bridges, culverts and more at an estimated cost of $172.8 million. By starting early with the tendering phase, we can potentially start construction earlier in 2013. The growth plan is also based on the principle

of fiscal responsibility and balancing priorities to continue to move the province forward. Saskatchewan has seen significant growth; we have approximately 80,000 more people in the province.
With growth come new challenges. In liquor retailing, we have areas in the province that are currently underserved. In order to meet those challenges, the decision was made to partner with the private sector on two stores in Saskatoon and one in Regina. This decision means the government will not have to invest in the capital infrastructure of the new stores, and will continue to allow the province to prioritize issues pertaining to education, healthcare, highways, all while meeting the needs of the customer. One of the underlying themes of the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth is using the benefits of growth to improve the quality of life. To that end, our government recently announced we are provid-

The program concentrates on providing community-based opportunities to improve existing skills while facilitating the learning of new skills and providing support to the changes in the lives of participants. Our goal to make Saskatchewan the best place in Canada for people with disabilities to live. This initiative is part of Government’s multi-year commitment to the 440 person waitlist for people with intellectual disabilities who need specialized, residential and day programs. We are well on the way to eliminating that waitlist by March 2013. One of the challenges of a growing economy is ensuring people have a safe place to work. To that end, our
government has introduced a regulatory change to improve safety for late night retail workers. The new regulations include: • Establishing safe cashhandling procedures; • Installing video cameras; • Providing good visibility and signage for all late-night retail premises; • Establishing a check-in system; and • Providing personal emergency transmitters to all workers working alone in latenight retail establishment. These regulations are now in effect. Putting the safety of working people first will not only ensure Saskatchewan’s economy continues to grow, it’s the right thing to do.
Safe Driving Tips for winter road conditions With snow in the immediate forecast, now’s the time for motorists to brush up on their winter driving skills. Here are some important safety tips from CAA Saskatchewan to help drivers stay safe this winter: - Check weather and travel conditions before heading out. If conditions are poor, delay travel if possible. - Consider putting winter tires on your vehicle. Rubber in all-season tires start to lose elasticity and harden at around 7 degrees Celsius, significantly reducing the tire’s ability to grip the road. Winter tires harden at around -40 degrees Celsius, allowing them to maintain elasticity in much colder temperatures. (Courtesy Automotive Industries Association of Canada, AIA Canada). - Adjust your speed to weather and road conditions.

Funerals and burials Continued from page 5 If the average Canadian funeral costs $10,000.00 VAC’s advertising spend would help 350 Veterans families with proper funeral and burial costs. Let’s not even talk about the $28 million the Government spent on promoting the War of 1812. Canada’s Veterans are crumbling under the weight of disrespect shown to them by the Government they served to uphold. There should be no doubt that the issue of adequate funeral and burial support is an urgent issue for World War II and Korean War Veterans. The majority of these men and women are in their 90s; approximately 2000 pass on each month. There are three key issues which need to be resolved: 1. The rate of $3,600 provided by The Last Post Fund is greatly inadequate and has not been increased since 2001; 2. The eligibility for funeral and burial benefits should be granted to low income Canadian Forces Veterans. These Veterans were prepared to lay their lives on the line for our country and deserve a dignified funeral. It is the last, and most fitting tribute we as Canadians can provide them; 3. The survivor estate exemption was reduced in 1995 from approximately $24,030 to $12,015 as part of Veterans Affairs budget reductions. So this means that a Veteran’s estate if valued at more than $12,000 would not make that person’s surviving spouse eligible for support for a dignified and respect-
ful funeral. This amount is considerably less than the poverty level and has not been adjusted since 1995. This issue has been on the table since 2004 and it was fully analysed in the Veterans Ombudsman’s 2009 Report (Serve with Honour, Depart with Dignity), fully supported by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs Report 2011 (Commemoration in the 21st Century), fully supported by 17 Veterans organizations that unanimously endorsed the requirement for immediate improvements in 2011 and 2012; and lastly, supported by the over 330,000 members of The Royal Canadian Legion at our 2008, 2010 and 2012 national convention as a high priority issue. Veterans Affairs Canada seems to have some very dull scissors when it comes to “cutting the red tape” on the issue of providing the greatest, and last, benefit every Veteran deserves - a dignified and respectful funeral and burial. What more does this Government need? For the men and women who so proudly, so valiantly, served this country and for those who continue to serve so we can assure them of our everlasting gratitude, The Royal Canadian Legion asks the Government of Canada, “What are you waiting for?” Lest We Forget, Gordon Moore Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

Three 'Fs' continue to drive Saskatchewan economy Paul Martin is pretty well-known as a business speaker, which made him an interesting keynote speaker at the recent Canola Day which was part of the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown in the city. 'Agriculture: Saskatchewan's economic catalyst is back,' was the general thrust of his presentation, although that message did seem to get buried by a look back at the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce effort to take a long look at where our province was going as the new millennium arrived in 2000. The Chamber effort; 'Action Saskatchewan' really became an effort to 'up our attitude' as a popular slogan of the day promoted. There is no denying Saskatchewan suffered from a long history of seeming inferiority, in large part the result of being next door to oil-rich Alberta, a sales tax free zone which skimmed off our best and brightest young people like a farmer skimming cream from milk. And, the Chamber effort did get us feeling better about ourselves, or more precisely, made us ready to accept the success which was about to flow over our province regardless of local attitudes. We may not have had the highest expectations for most of the 100-years marked by a provincial centenary in 2005, but it had noting to do with attitude that oil companies suddenly gazed east and moved drilling rigs to the province. The demand to seek out new reserve opportunities meant Saskatchewan exploration made sense given the coverage rigs have already given Alberta. Mix demand with tax and regulation tweaks, some start-
ed by the last New Democrat government, and others pushed forward with the Saskatchewan Party taking power, and it made it the province;'s time to take a lead in oil and gas exploration. Transition to the potash sector. It was a mature segment of mining with most Saskatchewan mines dating back decades and still remaining CALVIN productive. But world trends in population DANIELS meant an expected growth curve in ~ potash demand for fertilizer to feed more people. While there have been hiccups along the way, as the Saskatchewan Party can attest as a couple of recent budgets have been bashed by lower expected potash revenues than anticipated, the long term prognosis for potash remains good. So again there was a need for exploration of new veins, and an expansion of existing facilities to meet that long term growth. With a fair chunk of Saskatchewan sitting over potash reserves it was obvious most of the investment in exploration and expansion would occur here, to the tune of billions of dollars since 2000. And now it is agriculture's turn. When canola hits $14 a bushel off the combine, and other grains and oilseeds are all at, or near historic highs, it's
hard not to envision agriculture returning to a place of greater prominence in terms of the Saskatchewan economy. Even this year where a wet spring and untimely heat cut into yields for many producers, the overall bottom line is going to be better than average for most. Certainly when agriculture is rolling it is great for an economy since farmers buy new tractors, tricks, more fertilizer and other associated products in local towns and cities. Farm dollars roll through an economy passing through many hands in a hurry. Jean-Philippe Gervais, Chief Agricultural Economist, Farm Credit Canada, who also spoke at the Canola Day did note a few clouds on the horizon which might impact farming, the dismal shape of the United States economy and the need for them to offer up a workable plan to right their ship. The situation in many Western European countries is even worse. Such hamstrung economies could put the skids on worldwide economic activity. But long term, the middle class of China, South Korea, India and other countries in the Pacific Rim hold out hope that we can be optimistic in Saskatchewan about of future, because as Martin suggested they need the three 'Fs', food fertilizer and fuel. Those are resources we do have in abundance in this province and that will be our strength, a diversified economy less reliant on agriculture than we were a decade, or two ago, and stronger because farming is now one aspect of a triad of economic drivers.
Do you know what you’re feeding this winter? BY JENIFER HEYDEN, PAG SASKATCHEWAN MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE
Did the early snow catch you off guard? Did you have to start feeding those cows earlier than you anticipated? What are you feeding this year? Do you have alfalfa-grass hay, oat greenfeed, slough hay, barley? Will you have enough feed to get you through to spring turn out? Are you including straw in your ration and how much? Are you swath grazing this fall
or winter? Did you remember to purchase a mineral supplement? Do you know what your cows requirements are and do you know what the quality of your feed is in terms of protein, energy, vitamins and minerals? An inventory of the feeds available to you for winter feeding is important. It is a good idea to figure out ahead of winter feeding if you need to supplement energy or protein and what’s the best and most

economical way to do that – is it oats, barley, pellets, or something else? The next step is to obtain a feed analysis of your hay, greenfeed and/or silage or other forage you plan on feeding. For the most part crude protein and energy do not vary considerably in straw whether it be barley, oat or wheat straw. You may consider testing pea straw which has a much wider variability. Feed analysis of the forage we’re going to be feeding is important every year as we need to be sure that we’re providing a sound winter ration in terms of feed quality and economics. Based on what nutrients, vitamins and minerals are available in the feeds you have on hand, you are then better equipped to determine the type of mineral/vitamin supplements you will need,
and whether or not you will need to supplement protein or energy as well. I’ve seen a number of feed tests this fall with high neutral detergent fibre – this limits the capacity of our cows to physically consume feed. I’ve also seen a number of tests with high potassium levels. Do you know what you’re feeding? Do you know what precautions are necessary when feeding forages that are high in fibre or have mineral imbalances? It is also important to body condition score your cow herd and sort animals accordingly. Thin cows and heifers need to put on more condition, or weight going into winter and calving; while fat cows can afford to lose some condition or simply maintain it. These groups of cattle should be fed in view of that to feed efficiently and effectively.
Once your feeding program has been implemented it is important to monitor body condition score and performance. It is also necessary to adjust your feeding program for changes in weather, gestation and lactation. Do you want to learn how to develop winter rations for your cow herd utilizing the recently updated CowBytes software? Half day courses in the northwest are being offered in Lloydminster, Meadow Lake and Medstead this
fall. The course will help you understand the ins and outs of CowBytes Version 5 through hands on demonstration. You will be provided with some basic nutrition information and the ability to develop rations for your cow herd. If you require more information on the CowBytes workshops, feed testing, interpreting a feed test analysis or developing rations please contact Jenifer Heyden, Regional Livestock Specialist at (306) 446-7961.

Kicking off the Christmas shopping season Once again, the Christmas shopping season kicked off in high gear with a pair of sales in Shellbrook November 10. The annual Shellbrook and District Arts CouncilChristmas Craft Sale, at the Shellbrook Community Hall, and the Shellbrook Home Business and Trade Show, at the Seniors Hall, allowed shoppers get a jump on their holiday gift purchases. According to craft show participant and coordinator Sylvia Jones, more than 450 attended the event to peruse the work of the crafter, that came from as far away as North Battleford and Wakaw to sell their wares. This year’s call for exhibitors was met with quick commitment as all 34 tables were spoken for before the end of August. “Within two weeks, all of the tables were full and I had 10 people on the waiting list,” said Jones. Each year, the Arts Council operates a raf-
fle table at the event with items donated by the crafters. This year, more than $400 in tickets were sold, which will be turned over to the Shellbrook Theatre Committee to go toward the ongoing renovations of the facility. Meanwhile, the Home Business and Trade Show saw its best turnout yet, with a constant flow of people through the building from opening to close. According to coordinator, Tracy Dupuis, most of the exhibitors she had spoken to were happy with their sales and the amount of traffic their booths saw. “We had a great variety of vendors and a lot of people coming through the door. This was the best year yet,” said Dupuis, of the show, which is in its’ fifth year. The weather put a bit of a damper on the day’s events as a few last minute cancellations were reported at both venues.
Wilf Boechler, of Wakaw, sold plenty of his glass like lacquered wood works at the Arts Council’s craft sale.

Houseplants 101
-BY ERL SVENDSEN-
The first law of houseplant care is that houseplants should ENHANCE your home, not detract from it. So take a critical look at your houseplants.Do they look bedraggled? Yellow leaves? Long stems with no leaves? Stakes because the stems are now too weak to hold themselves up? A f lowering plant (e.g. poinsettia) that hasn’t f lowered in years? If yes to any of these questions, then consider starting fresh. Plants, like all living things, need five things to thrive: a suitable environment (light, temperature, shelter), nutrients, water and freedom from duress (e.g. pests and disease). Of course no two types of plants need exactly the same combination, but there are broad acceptable ranges of these five factors that allow us to lump plants with similar needs together. Since we’re talking about houseplants, most that do well in our homes are from the tropics, usually understory or shade-loving plants. That’s how they survive in our shirt-sleeve habitat in light that about a tenth of full sun. What that also means is that they are not adapted to temperatures much lower than 12°C (55°F) for any length of time and no time at all below 5°C (40°F). So keep away doors and windows that let in drafts during winter. Also, do not trap plants behind curtains. Unless you know different, keep them out of full sun, especially in the summer. From October to March, houseplants can tolerate the weak winter sun, but remember to move them back away from direct summer sun. Shelter, for a houseplant, besides the larger environment of your home, is the rooting media. I say rooting media rather than soil because most potting mixes are soil-less. Garden soil in a small container tends to compact easily and does not allow sufficient drainage. While plants manufacture their own energy compounds from light and air, they do require nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in relatively large amounts.
Required in much smaller amounts, but still essential, are chemicals such as copper, magnesium, iron, manganese and the like, known collectively as micronutrient. These essential chemicals can only be supplied through their roots. Since plants cannot go out in search of food, it means that you’ll have to supply them. Here you have two options: (1) using a complete, dissolvable granular fertilizer like 20-20-20+micronutrients and applying according to package instructions one to four times a month, depending on the plant and time of year, or (2) using a controlled release pelleted fertilizer that you only need to apply once or twice a year, according to package instructions. Tap water is usually suitable but do not use softened water as this contains toxic (to plants) salt levels. Apply as required, when the top 1 – 2 cm (0.5 – 1 in.) of the media feels dry to the touch. Never allow your pots to sit in water as this will cause the potting media to remain soggy leading to root death. Just as houseplants are perfectly adapted to your home, so are a number of insect pests that can attach your plants. Inspect regularly for signs of infestation. Common insects that you may encounter include aphids (bright green or black, 1 – 2 mm long, soft bodies; usually found on the most succulent and youngest growth); spider mites (microscopic, usually on the undersides of leaves; symptoms include yellowing leaves, fine webbing, towards the ends of branches); mealybugs (small, oblong, cottony-white puffs, 3 – 5 mm; on young growth or in the root system); scales (raised, round brown bumps on stems and leaves of recent growth); fungus gnats (small [1 – 2 mm] f lies, hovering at the soil level); and white f lies (small (2 – 4 mm), powdery white f lies, usually on the undersides of young leaves). [Author’s note: a full description and their control will be the subject of future articles. For now, being able to recognize the pest will help you do some research on your own or to get help from your
Even one item will go a long way at the food bank Hunger continues to affect many Canadians. According to Food Banks Canada, more than 900,000 people use food banks every month, 360,000 of which are children.

fish, meat or lentils. Whole grain cereals and packaged, powdered or canned milk are also good choices. At places carrying President’s Choice products look for the Extra Helping logo on shelf tags as it identifies the food bank’s most needed items. “We are committed to fighting hunger in Canada and we want to make it easy for our customers to donate,” says Peggy Hornell, the senior director of community investment for Loblaw Companies Limited. “During the food drive, we’ve introduced the $5 Macaroni and Cheese Dinner program for this purpose.” Hornell says when customers purchase the $5 box, they are donating $4 worth of food items, and a $1 cash donation. All they need to do is pick up the box while grocery shopping pay for it when they check out and drop it in the donation bin on their way out to know that they are helping families in need. The Extra Helping National Holiday Food Drive runs between November 23 – December 13, 2012.
local garden centre.] We end where we started: houseplants should enhance your home. Grooming is an important aspect of keeping the plants looking their best, monitoring for problems and keeping them healthy. Start by removing dying, yellowing leaves and spent f lowers. Plants that can become leggy like coleus should be trimmed back regularly. Invest in a detailed houseplant guide that describes the plant, ideal growing conditions and pests that are likely to attack.

Lest we forget: Veterans week in Shellbrook Members of the Shellbrook branch of the Royal Canadian Legion again had a busy Veterans Week. The Legion took part in services at Shellbrook Elementary, WP Sandin and Wild Rose Public Schools November 8 before the annual community service at the Shellbrook Theatre. At the Elementary School, Legion President Lloyd Rudolph engaged the students with his speech about Heroes. During Sunday morning’s service, Rudolph talked about war being part of human nature and as long as there are things to fight over, there will continue to be war. Remembrance Day is the day to remember those who must do an ugly job to preserve our rights and freedoms. “There will be wars and many of our warriors won’t come home. Those that do will carry with them the burden of what they have seen and done. Today it is our solemn duty to honour our warriors, both past and present and ensure their sacrifices are not forgotten,” said Rudolph. Father Stephen Harnish lauded those who answered the call and served their country in times of war and for peace keeping missions abroad. “I wish to say to those veterans gathered here to day that you served your country well. You endured so that others would not have to, regardless of the things required of you in battle,” said Harnish. He recognized that soldiers are changed forever once they are sent off to war. If they are killed in battle, they will never come back. If they survive, they will come home bearing physical and emotional scars of war. The service concluded with the Colour Guard leading members of the Legion, RCMP, Knights of Columbus and the Community Choir off of the stage and out of the Theatre. The parade continued from the Theatre to the Legion Hall where a light lunch and refreshments were served.

SaskPower block heater timer giveaway To thank customers for their continued efforts to conserve energy, SaskPower is offering a free block heater timer at select retailers around the province for the second year in a row, starting this weekend. “We’re working closely with customers to reduce and adjust electricity usage, which lessens the overall demand for power,” said Garry Tollefson, manager of SaskPower’s Demand Side Management business unit. “Many people don’t realize that a car or truck only needs to be plugged in for four hours to start.” An estimated 266,000 households in Saskatchewan plug in their vehicles during the winter, but only about 100,000 of those households use a block heater timer. If every Saskatchewan resident used a block heater timer, we could save enough power to supply more than 5,000 homes – that’s the
equivalent of taking 8,500 cars off our roads. A block heater timer can save customers up to $25 in electricity costs each year. Plugging a car in for any longer than four hours at a time only wastes power and money, and puts more pressure on the environment due to the increased need for power generation. Media are invited to view and share SaskPower’s new block heater timer video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/DUcIO9DlFAg or visit youtube.com/poweringthefuture Stop by one of the following retailers to pick up a free block heater timer (supplies are limited and a limit of one per household applies) during the weekends of Nov. 17-18, and Nov. 24.-25: - Co-op (Melfort, North Battleford, Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current)
- Sears (Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Regina, Saskatoon) - Peavey Mart (Assiniboia, Estevan, Humboldt, Kindersley, Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Weyburn, Yorkton) - Home Hardware (Canora, Carlyle, Gravelbourg, Fort Qu’Appelle, Meadow Lake, Melville, Regina, Outlook, Nipawin, Rosetown, Spiritwood, Watrous) Saskatchewan residents can also pick up a free block heater timer at the Canadian Western Agribition at Evraz Place in Regina from Nov. 19-24. For additional information, visit: www.saskpower.com/ save_power By 2017, it’s expected that SaskPower’s energy-efficiency programming will deliver enough savings to power 100,000 homes.
Difficult to nurse kids through a cold Why does it seem like kids get one cold after another during cold season? Many youngsters haven’t yet built up their immunity to the more than one hundred different strains of cold viruses that exist. For this reason, children can get as many as eight to 10 colds each year before they
turn two years old. Some Canadian parents may remember when Health Canada required manufacturers to change the labels on over-thecounter (OTC) cough and cold medicines to state that they are no longer suitable for children under six. That change meant

I plug in the humidifier and try to make my little one as comfortable as possible, but sometimes it’s not enough and I’m frustrated that I don’t have a better answer.” According to Dr. Johanne Blais, MD MSc. (F), CCMF, this is a common dilemma. “Many parents feel at a loss when their child is sick. They are well intentioned and want to do everything they can to ease their child’s suffering. It’s hard for them to watch their child struggle with the symp-
toms as the cold runs its course.” The recent introduction of Helixia Cough, a naturally-sourced cough remedy, is seen as a welcome development. “I think parents will absolutely appreciate another option to help the whole family get through those inevitable coughs and colds,” says Dr. Blais. Clinical studies suggest this new product is an effective cough remedy. It is made from dried ivy leaf extract, which has been used for more than 20 years to safely alleviate cold symptoms. Helixia has a nondrowsy formula, tastes like honey and is free of sucrose, gluten, dyes and alcohol. It is available in most pharmacies in Canada. “A cough medicine that is safe for kids under six? Canadian parents will be letting out a big sigh of relief,” says Jasmin with a chuckle.

Riders let playoff win slip away Well that's all she wrote. Like the pop of a balloon, the 2012 Saskatchewan Roughriders' season came to an abrupt and devastating end Sunday afternoon in the CFL Western Semifinal in Calgary. It was a last-minute 36-30 loss to the rival Stampeders which sent them to the Western Final at B.C. and sent the Riders home. It's still too painful to re-live, but I suppose we have to. In a quarterback battle of Darian Durant and Drew Tate, both teams wanted to get the jump early but it was scoreless until there was 0:02 left in the opening quarter when the Riders opened the scoring with a Sandro Deangelis field goal. However from there, the Stampeders took over and never really looked back. The Riders held the lead briefly twice more, but it literally lasted for only a few seconds. Blunders on special teams and defence ultimately cost them the game.
ROD PEDERSEN ~
Voice of The Riders With 0:47 to go and the Riders up 30-29, Tate launched a 68yard touchdown bomb to Romby Bryant to give Calgary the winning points. BOOM! Done. And that's the season. Thrilling ending, but another devastating way to lose at McMahon Stadium for Canada's Team.
"It's been a tough place for us lately," admitted Durant, who threw for 453 yards and four touchdowns. "Give Calgary credit, they're a good team. We made too many mistakes and ultimately gave them the game." Yes, he's right. We all hoped the playoffs would be a brand new season and the teams would be equal but we were just fooling ourselves. The young Riders shot themselves in the foot time after time and a coverage breakdown led to the last-minute touchdown to break their back. Meanwhile the veteran Stamps never really seemed out of control of the game. "That's the thing about football; sometimes its out of your hands and you hope people step up and make plays," Durant continued. "Calgary did. Calgary pretty much played a mistake-free game and that's why they won." Right now we're in a holding pat-
tern. It's sickening to look ahead to next season because there's a long, cold winter staring at us before that. And it feels too soon to look back and reflect on the 2012 season because we weren't ready, nor prepared, for it to end. "We had a good win there but we let it slip it away," said Rider coach Corey Chamblin, with a comment we've heard before this season. "Those aren't the things that you want to remember at the end of your season. There's a lot of pride there and a lot to build off for next year. I'm proud of the effort from this young team." He had on a cheerful expression but he had to be devastated inside. Chamblin assured us his team would be ready come playoff time and although at times they were, they didn't play a complete game when it counted. "We gotta be disciplined," Chamblin continued. "We talked
about playing smart and tough but we didn't play smart in some positions. "I thought we brought this team a long way from what we had. We retooled the whole roster. We got some stars there and I think we'll be a contender next year." Next year. Next Year Country! That's a phrase we used to hear all the time around here when seasons ended too soon. This time tough, there's a sense of faith in Chamblin in this province. At least there should be. Stop for a minute and consider where this team was one year ago and where it is now. Massive improvement. It's just hard being patient for the baby steps when you remember where this team was between 2007 and 2010. They're on their way back there. (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)
Shulman, Hughson best sportscasters Talk to 100 sports fans and ask them to name their favourite sports broadcaster and chances are you’ll get at least 50 different answers. It’s like asking people their favourite colour or favourite food. But we’re not asking; we’re telling you the best sportscasters in North America — from my vantage point on my comfy couch. Get ready to disagree. 1. Dan Shulman: The Canadian native is primarily known as the voice of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. He has the most velvet of voices and is always armed with great information and interesting anecdotes. Listening to Shulman is usually better than the game itself. 2. Jim Hughson: Hockey Night in Canada’s No. 1 play-by-play announcer is a major step up from the shrill-voiced Bob Cole. Hughson never gets too excited, nor too dry, but broadcasts almost as if he’s carrying on a conversation with the listener. Comfortable. 3. Vin Scully: He’s in his 80s and works without a colour man and is never short of interesting and informative things to say. He has never played an inning of baseball, but might just be the best known Los Angeles Dodger. 4. Jay Onrait: OK, so this is a high ranking for a
goofy guy, but if sports really is entertainment, then TSN’s sports anchor Onrait fits that bill to a T. Get the scores and get a laugh at the same time. 5. Ron MacLean: Witty, knowledgeable, great interviewer, what more can be said about the CBC’s MacLean, one of the most versatile and professional announcers around. 6. Rich Lerner: If you don’t subscribe to The Golf Channel, you might not know about Lerner, but he is the network’s best. Always the voice of calm and reason, he is comfortable serving as host, commentator or interviewer. 7. Jim Nantz: The CBS veteran is not only the network’s No. 1 play-by-play man on NFL football, but he is the soothing voice of the Masters. Always in control, always smart. 8. Al Michaels: Known best for “Do You Believe in Miracles? Yes!”, Michaels, who now does Sunday Night Football on NBC, always makes these lists. He’s a pro. 9. Bob Irving: OK, if you don’t live in Manitoba you may not have heard of Irving, the 37-year CJOB radio voice of the Blue Bombers but he’s a treat to listen to, and he’s a friend of mine — so there! 10. Bob Costas: He’s a walking encyclopedia and if you’re scrolling through
BRUCE PENTON ~ channels and see him interviewing a sports figure, stop, watch and listen. • Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel: “Apple is going completely overboard about releasing all of these new electronic products. Coming soon: An Apple device for athletes to get instant access to steroids. It's called an iPED.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “The Los Angeles Angels are looking to trade pitcher Dan Haren, and reportedly have interest from both the Red Sox and the Cubs. Sounds like either way, Haren’s likely to keep getting his Octobers off.” • Rick Reilly of ESPN, in an essay about Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler’s pouty ways: “There are 50 shades of Jay, and all of them are morose.” • Reader Glenn Springstead of Columbia, Md., asking a question of Norman
Chad of the Washington post: “Now that David Stern is retiring, will Gary Bettman realize his life’s dream of merging the four major sports into a single corporate collective and locking out all the players with one stroke?” • NFL-related headlines at sportspickle.com: “Chiefs spend Sunday watching how NFL teams play football.” “Jerry Jones issues weekly statement about disappointment.” • Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun, after the Blue Bombers did not renew the contract of Assistant General Manager Ross Hodgkinson: “Hodgkinson had as much to do with Winnipeg's 6-12 record as the night security guy with the huge
German Shepherd.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “The Philadelphia 76‘ers have unleashed the world’s biggest T-shirt cannon on their fans. The cannon can take more than 100 shots per minute. Which still falls well short of the team record still held by Allen Iverson.” • R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: Two milestones of note this month. The 300th episode of Law & Order: SVU; and the third anniversary of Elin &Tiger: SUV.” • Another one from Currie: “Winnipeg's new football stadium reportedly has 150 seats with obstructed views. Having watched the 2012 Bombers, that's not nearly enough.” • Janice Hough again, af-
ter Colts QB Andrew Luck gave himself a midterm grade of "C" despite his record-setting rookie season: “Man, those Stanford professors must have been tough.” • Ian Hamilton of the Regina Leader-Post: “The residents of Edenbridge, England, plan to burn a 30-foot-tall effigy of steroid-tainted cyclist Lance Armstrong. The effigy will be filled with oil-soaked newspapers and fireworks before it’s set ablaze, making the fire a perfect metaphor for the disgraced cyclist. Like him, it's going to need artificial stimulants to get going.” Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@yahoo. ca

GOOD NEWS ~
Pink Giraffes and Green Rhinoceroses? BY DAVE WHALLEY, DLM (R) KNOX UNITED CHURCH
For more years than I can remember, a dear friend and I, whenever we meet, joust about who has fed the pink giraffes or watered the green rhinoceroses. We get such a kick out of how people react, and most of them think we are just plain nuts! Maybe they are right, but we sure enjoy it! There is one thing though, that many of us never talk about, and that is the “elephant in our living room”. You probably have heard that phrase before. It refers to something in our lives that is right there in front of us, always with us, but we don’t talk about it because we are afraid or embarrassed by what other people might think of our “elephant”. That “elephant” can change the dynamics of a family or a relationship. It can cause friendships to fade away. It can eat away at our self-confidence. We don’t just wake up one day in desperation and depression. Desperation and depression have a very subtle beginning, called discouragement. When I am discouraged, some old friends drop by. They come along and say all the words they think I need to hear -“I don’t care”, “whatever”, “I don’t feel like it”, and one of my personal favourites, “What difference does it make?” These are the kinds of friends that don’t call before they drop by; they stay too long, and talk way too much. There are some situations that might bring these old friends to our door, such as an unwanted “elephant” or problem in our lives, but I believe the most common instigator of them both is discouragement.
These “friends” are old. In fact, they visited many people in the Old and New Testaments. Elijah experienced the highest of spiritual highs on the top of Mt. Carmel and left that mountain for the wilderness of Beersheba. Elijah got discouraged. He was desperate, scared, tired, down, and out. Others, like Moses, Jonah, David, Noah, Abraham, Peter and John knew what it was to be discouraged. The Apostle Paul himself said in Romans 9:2, “I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.” Discouragement respects no one. It comes at the most inconvenient times. It visits the poor and the rich. It drops in on the single and the married and it spreads like wildfire. It comes when we are already down. It is then that we feel desperate; when we feel like giving up; when nothing matters; and it seems that nothing could get worse. William Ward, a noted author of inspirational books, said that; “Discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present, and distrust of the future.”…… It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday, indifference to the opportunities of today, and insecurity regarding strength for tomorrow.” I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to be discouraged. The fact is that we do get discouraged, and when we do, we need help. When we are down and out, we usually don’t want to be around those we need the most; including God. We get spiritually dry, emotionally drained, and physically worn. So what do we do with those “elephants”?
Jesus tells us that we are to be persistent in our prayers. If God is the object of our faith, if our prayers communicate to God persistence on our part, we can be confident that God will bring us through the times of difficulty. God will deal with the elephant in our living room. Discouragement is not fun. As a matter of fact, if it is not dealt with quickly, it can become a tormenting prison that drains our very will to live. But, do you know something? God never intended for us to live that way. Sure; problems and trials come. Things are going to happen that we don’t enjoy. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:8, “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” When we are discouraged and ready to give up, remember this – Don’t give up! Pray with persistence. Things will get better. We find the strength and the grace through prayer while being confident, trusting, persistently praying to the God of our own understanding. Like bad company, like an elephant nobody wants to talk about, discouragement, desperation, and depression make themselves at home in our lives. It’s time that we sent them “packing”. We’ve been listening to the words; “I don’t care”, “whatever”, “I don’t feel like it”, “What difference does it make?” long enough. These old friends of ours often drop by; they talk way too much; and they stay for too long. Send them “packing” by “taking everything to God in prayer.”
University of Saskatchewan celebrates opening of new campus in Regina The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) officially opened a new stand-alone campus in Regina. The new Regina campus is home to the U of S College of Nursing and is located at 4400 4th Avenue, on the corner of Lew van Drive. A lthough the building is undergoing renovations, students have been attending classes and participating in labs in the completed areas of the facility since September. Once renovations are complete, the campus will feature a lecture theatre, two classrooms, break-out rooms, offices for staff, faculty, research and the Native Access Program to Nursing, a boardroom, a nursing skills practice lab that provides for simulation practise related to student’s clinical experience, a student learning commons and a graduate student mezzanine. “We are thrilled the U of S now has a modern teaching facility in Regina for our program,” said Lorna Butler, dean of the College of Nursing. “It’s a ver y exciting time for the college. Not only are we located in a newly renovated space, we also welcomed the first class of our new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program this September.” The U of S BSN degree is a four-year program, consisting of a pre-professional first year, followed by three years of nursing education. The U of S College of Nursing has had a presence in Regina and southern Saskatchewan since 1996 but this marks the first time the U of S has invested in
teaching infrastructure in Regina. “The College of Nursing is building on the U of S histor y of partnering with regional colleges and other post-secondar y institutions,” said Butler. “Our Learn Where You Live model reaches out to students in their home communities. When the new space was designed, we made sure the facility was equipped with state-of-the-art technology to assist us with distributed learning. Our students can complete their entire U of S BSN degree without leaving their home communities in La Ronge, Ile-a-la-Crosse, Prince A lbert, Saskatoon and Regina.” The new U of S Regina campus grand opening celebrations took place today in conjunction with the university’s president’s tour. “I am delighted to be part of such an important event,” said U of S President Ilene Busch-Vishniac. “Opening a stand-alone U of S campus is part of our continuing effort and commitment to ser ve the educational needs of the entire province”. Key representatives from the Government of Saskatchewan, the City of Regina, FSIN, health regions and associations, regional colleges and the U of S were in attendance for the grand opening. The U of S College of Nursing now has the capacity to admit 345 undergraduate students throughout the province each year. The first graduating class from the nursing program at the Regina campus is expected in 2015.

Knox UCW news
The November 1 meeting was called to order by President Marion Miller at 7:32 p.m. Eight ladies were present. Devotion/study led by Pat Sonntag was a continuation of the previously mentioned series. November’s study is titled “Our Study”. Pat opened with a paraphrase by Betty Bradford Turcott of 2nd Chronicles; Chapter 34; verses 22-28 inclusive. She then led the group in a Labyrinth reflection: a Labyrinth is a place constructed of/or full of intricate passageways. A place for one to take a slow introspective walk, a time of inner reflection, a time to listen - experience the quietness as one meditates. Following a participation in a Labyrinth in the churches’ sanctuary, Pat led the group in a circle Lord’s Prayer, this ending the study. This study series is continuing to be interesting, informative, and reflective - we look forward to the next one. Minutes of the last meeting were read and declared as such with no errors or omis-
sions. Highlights of the meeting were: - An informational letter from Operation Eyesight - The UCW will be gifting the Knox General Church Fund and the Camp Tapawingo Dining Hall Repair Fun with financial support. - The Fall Presbyterial was a success - We will be celebrating our Christmas time together at the home of our Sister in Faith - Mae Atkinson at which time we will enjoy a potluck meal and fellowship. - The nominating committee of Evelyn Hollowell and Allison Irvine gave their report, some positions still need to be filled. - Spring Presbyterial is to be held in Melfort 2013, no date has been set. Thought for the month: “Have you ever walked a Labyrinth”? If so - “Were you seeking God”? or did He just show up? Respectively submitted Bev Irvine, General Secretary.

for a themed discussion time. The theme/ question began “Where do we go from here”? At a time when churches are closing/ amalgamating, many of the UCW groups are folding or becoming less active. The numbers are dwindling, as is attendance at our major functions. Deb Mervold facilitated a very informative and thought-provoking discussion - much so - that many would have liked to continue it after lunch. We are very appreciative that Deb and Pat Sonntag have put together such a study series. Following a delicious soup and build your own bunwich lunch, the ladies had time to peruse the excellent book display very graciously provided to us by Woodland Pharmacy - courtesy of Grant Hladun and Mark Klaassen. After the free time, the ladies again gathered in the Church Sanctuary to enjoy a great presentation from Jeanette Stevenson of Melfort, Sask. and Grace Wilton of Meskanaw, Sask. They had attended the 50th anniversary UCW celebrations in Hamilton, Ontario (UCW’s from across Canada attended this event). The day and our time together closed with hymn sing and prayer. Music for the day was provided by Linda Bator and our kitchen supervisor was Edith Henry. The day was a success and we are very appreciative of everyone who made it so! By Bev Irvine.

Dear Perry, God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon His earth and saw your loving face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. His garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, “Peace be thine.” You’ve left us with precious memories, your love will be our guide, You live on through your children, you are always by our side. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home. - Sadly missed and forever loved, Erica, Michael, Tessa, Mom, Dad, Janet, Jamie, Rhonda and families.

Tait Insurance pitches in for KidSport
M Murray T Tait, it D Don N Narcisse, i J Jean T Tait it and dQ Quinn i T Tait it att an auction ti h held ld iin support of KidsSport at the annual Insurance Brokers’ Association of Saskatchewan convention.
The Insurance Brokers’ Association of Saskatchewan (IBAS) scored a touchdown by teaming up with former Saskatchewan Roughrider Don Narcisse, one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play for the Green and White, to support KidSport and kids in need around the province. IBAS held an auction at its annual convention in Regina featuring memorabilia from Narcisse and several other Rider greats. The auction raised a total of $27,000 for KidSport initiatives. KidSport is dedicated to assisting disadvantaged children who want to participate in community sports programs across the province. The auction wouldn’t have been a success without the generous contributions of members like Murray Tait of Tait Insurance Group Inc. The Shellbrook brokerage purchased a Don Narcisse signed jersey and print and team autographed football. Ernie Gaschler, Executive Director of IBAS, said its members have been keen to support programs that help kids. IBAS already sponsors child safety restraint clinics throughout the province and supports ju-

nior golf along with SGI Canada. Gaschler said the opportunity to support KidSport is a natural fit and Narcisse was a big hit at their conference. This is the second time IBAS has raised funds for KidSport programs and this year the association raised $6,000 more than in 2010. “Don really captures the spirit of what a pro sports hero in this province is all about. He left a lasting impression the last time we worked together and we were happy to do it again,” said Gaschler about Narcisse’s participation at the auction. Narcisse retired from football 1999, but has left a lasting legacy by creating the concept ‘Catch for KidSport’ in 1998. Since its inception in 1994, KidSport Saskatchewan has raised over $6 million dollars and helped over 92,000 kids enjoy sport. The Insurance Brokers’ Association of Saskatchewan is a voluntary organization of professional independent insurance brokers. It represents 380 insurance brokerage offices and more than 2,500 individuals throughout the Province.
Leask hosts volleyball conference championships On Saturday, November 3rd, Leask Community School hosted the SHSAA Senior Girls Volleyball Conference Championship. At the end of the day, Rosthern Junior College ended up in 1st place; Rosthern High School placed second; and Leask Community School came in third. The 1st and 2nd place finishers will move on to the Regional Playoff round. Leask community, parents, students, and school staff worked hard to organize and facilitate the event. Lindsey Burym (Leask Rams coach) talked about organizing the event, “The staff was really support-
ive. Even spouses that don’t work at our school came out and helped out at the event. Students from the school volunteered to help out and worked all day to help us be successful running the event. We had many compliments from all the other coaches and teams about the things that were done for them that day, and how organized everything was. It was nice to see everyone work together so well to make sure it was good for our school.” Leask Community School Coordinator, Marilyn Doucette commented, “It was great for our community. We had community

members who came into our gym who haven’t been here in years. Our students all contributed to the greater good of our whole team.” There were also many local businesses and community members who sponsored the event: Maurice Stieb, Home Hardware, Credit Union, R.M. of Leask, Leask Mart, SaskPower, SGI Tait Insurance Inc., Cadrain Farms, Bramshott Spirits, and Muskeg Lake Cree Nation. Burym expressed how her team has improved since they started as juniors. “They started from knowing the basics of the game. Now they all have their own positions; they know where they need to be, what they need to be doing. Their skill level has im-
proved. It’s really impressive, after three years, how much they’ve grown and learned to play together as a team.” Commenting on how the team placed, “They showed great sportsmanship - win or lose. They played their best. Life goes on, and they know they did the best they could.” The staff and students at Leask Community School were excited to host an event like this. They did their best to make sure that everyone had a good time, that everyone felt welcome, and that the playoffs ran smoothly. “Playoffs are bigger than just a tournament or a game. The play and the athleticism are pretty intense and exciting to watch,” Burym stated, “It was a really good day!”

Life saved with trip to nurse practitioner A Sturgeon Lake Regional Park woman credits the work of the staff at the Shellbrook Primary Health Care Clinich with saving her husband’s life. Gloria Welyki called the Primary Health Care Clinic looking for an appointment with one of the doctors but there were no appointments to be had and Medical Office Assistant, Angela Adams, recommended that they come in and see a nurse practitioner instead. Weleki said that this was the advice that saved her husband’s life. The couple, who retired to Sturgeon Lake from Saskatoon, spend time in California through the winter and needed have medical tests done. Wally had also been suffering from some discomfort in his chest Nurse Practitioner Pam Archibald saw the Welyki’s and after assessing Wally made an appointment for him to see cardiologist the following day. That night he had his fifth heart attack in a three week period. “Had she not told him that that’s what it was we would have never had gone,” said Gloria.
“He would have suffered it out and probably died.” Gloria called an ambulance which took him to Prince Albert. Once he was stabilized he was transported to Saskatoon for surgery. There, a seven inch stint was placed on one side of his heart and two weeks later he had the other side done. “They called him a walking deadman. He was 99 per cent blocked and Pam saved his life,” said Welyki. His symptoms were not the typical ones that are generally publicized in the media. Wally felt a line across his chest that felt prickly. “My husband wasn’t feeling well but he wasn’t having the typical symptoms of a heart attack, like they show on television,” said Welyki. With pictures in their minds of an elephant sitting on a man’s chest as he is sitting on the sofa, they didn’t realize he was having a heart attack. Before their experience with Archibald, the couple had never heard of a nurse practitioner before. Now they are proud to put their health care needs in the hands of one.
