From Shellbrook Hill to Parliament Hill Local residents were singing from the hilltops in hopes of reaching Parliament Hill with their message.

Volunteers took to the hill to sing a special version of “Go tell it on the Mountain” for a video to be used as part of the Grandmothers Advocacy Network’s “From our Hill to Parliament Hill” campaign in hopes of having Bill C-398 passed in the House of Commons.

“We are trying to let Parliament Hill know the importance of this legislation,” said local organizer, Pat Grayston.

Tabled in Parliament on October 16, Bill C-398 will give generic drug manufacturers in Canada the flexibility to supply medicines to developing countries under one licence, rather than saddling them with the complex and unworkable system currently in place and known as Canada’ Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR).

More than 100 NGOs have joined GRAN in endorsing the passage of the bill, among them UNICEF Canada, the Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network and Uganda’s AIDS Support Organization (TASO).

Since the House of Commons unanimously created CAMR in 2004, it has been used exactly once because red tape makes it unworkable for generic manufacturers and developing countries alike.

“We have generic companies who are willing but they will not go through three years of red tape for each individual shipment and they shouldn’t be expected to,” said volunteer, Nancy Carswell.

This is the third time this piece of legislation has been before Parliament. The first time Parliament was prorogued while the second time it was up Parliament dissolved for the last election. Volunteers are hoping that the third time’s a charm.

If the bill does not pass, they will not let the matter drop.

“We will stay with this as long as it takes. We will badger anyone that we can badger about this,” said Grayston, noting that the medications would not be limited to treatments for HIV and AIDs but many other diseases like Polio as well.

Similar rallies took place across the country organized by members of the Grandmothers Advocacy Network.

The video will be forwarded to the Grandmothers Advocacy Network for their use to lobby government to pass the bill.

Credenda Virtual College gave employees Chris MacAulay and Carswell the day off so that they could provide technical support for the recording.

Pat Grayston, Mike Kinnaird, Debbie Jensen, Merle Roberts, Annette Kinnaird, Wilbur Grayston, Linda Bator, Pat Sonntag, Lynn Harper, Marj Bradley and Alanna Carswell sing atop the river hill overlooking the Shell River, North of Shellbrook, for a video to rally support for Bill C-398. The bill will give generic drug manufacturers in Canada the flexibility to supply medicines to developing countries under one license.

Former administrator fined for tax evasion The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced today that Kenneth G. Danger, 60, of the R.M. of Leask, pleaded guilty this week in Prince Albert Provincial Court to charges of tax evasion for the years 2005 to 2007. He was fined $14,280.

During the years in question Danger was the administrator for the R.M. and the Town of Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. While in this position he had access to donation receipts and the accounting systems for both entities.

The CRA investigation found that Danger issued himself false donation receipts from the R.M. and the town and he claimed these on his personal income tax returns in order to obtain fraudulent tax credits and reduce his taxes payable.

Over the three-year period Mr. Danger claimed $91,283 in false donations, which resulted in the evasion of federal taxes totaling $14,280.

The court heard that Danger used more than one scheme to issue the receipts needed to make his false claims. In one example he paid the town $7,359 for an amount owing for personal fuel

charges on farm vehicles and issued himself a donation receipt for that amount. In another example he issued himself a donation receipt for $20,000 and then voided the transaction in the town’s accounting system.

The preceding information was obtained from the court records.

The fine of $14,280 represents 100% of the tax evaded. In addition to the court fines, all outstanding taxes plus penalties and interest must also be paid.

Taxpayers who have not filed returns for previous years, or who have not reported all of their income, can still voluntarily correct their tax affairs. They may not be penalized or prosecuted if they make a valid disclosure before they become aware of any compliance action being initiated by the CRA against them.

These taxpayers may only have to pay the taxes owing, plus interest. More information on the Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) can be found on the CRA’s Web site at www.cra.gc.ca/voluntarydisclosures.

Junior Womens Northerns coming to town

The path to the Junior Provincial Womens Curling Championship leads through Shellbrook this year.

The Shellbrook Curling Club has been chosen to host the Junior Women’s Northern Playdowns November 23-25.

According to Club President, Nathan Dzialo, the club applied to host the event and were the successful applicant, which he attributes to recent upgrades to the facility and the hard work of the board and other volunteers.

“Volunteers are a very important part of everything we do.

We wouldn’t be able to host an event like this without them,” said Dzialo, who is also the coordinator of the event, along with fellow board member Bonnie Schmirler.

The number of teams and who those teams will be won’t be determined until November 13 while draw times for the event will be posted sometime over the next few weeks..

Opening ceremonies kick off the festivities Friday night while the class of north Saskatchewan junior female curlers will compete throughout the weekend for a spot at the provincials.

Admission is free.

Dzialo hopes to see big crowds to check out the games as he expects nothing less than top notch competition throughout the weekend.

In the fall of 2011, the curling club completed an extensive renovation project of its facility. The renovation saw the upstairs viewing room converted into a lounge and dining area while locker rooms were added to the former lounge, which is located at ice level.

The move provided better access to the canteen, located in the skating rink lobby, while also affording spectators a great view of all four sheets of ice from the lounge area.

It also brought the locker room and ice surface to the same level which will help with keeping debris from street shoes off of the curling ice.

Provincials will be held in Weyburn January 23-27, 2013.

Nationals are set to take place in Fort McMurray, AB, February 2 to 10 and the Junior Womens World Championships are set for February 28 through March 10 in Sochi, Russia, the site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

Increased Orange Zone penalties for speeding The Province of Saskatchewan is increasing the fines for drivers caught speeding in Saskatchewan’s construction zones. Effective November 1, Saskatchewan’s fines for speeding in the Orange Zone will be among the highest in the country.

The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is working closely with contractors, ministry crews, and motorists to review the three Es of traffic safety: education; engineering (site enhancements such signs, lighting, rumble strips and barricades); and enforcement.

Starting this fall, rumble strips will be used in prioritized work zones. In addition, gates that narrow the approach to construction zones will be installed.

Both devices are intended to slow traffic to 60 km/h in construction zones. The ministry will review the effectiveness of these devices and develop guidelines for their use at other locations starting in the 2013 construction season.

Fines in the Orange Zone will: •Now see a base fine of $210, which is triple the base fine for speeding; •See a per kilometre increase from $2 to $3 for every km/h over 60 km/h, for speeds up to up to 90 km/h; and

•See a further increase from $4 to $6 for every km/h over 60 km/h, for speeds in excess of 90 km/h.

SGI and the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure will work together to ensure that proper signage is in place to notify motorists that the fine for speeding in a construction zone is three times the base fine for speeding, and that photo radar will be in effect for the next construction season.

“The RCMP dedicated Traffic Unit has written over 415 tickets for speeding in a construction zone throughout the past two months,” RCMP ‘F’ Division Sgt. Paul Dawson said.

“Our members have been vigilant in enforcing the Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Act throughout the fall construction season. Our message for those travelling in the Orange Zone is it shouldn’t take a ticket to make you slow down and save lives.”

Lest We Forget With Remembrance Day fast approaching, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank all of those who have served our country through their military service.

My thanks and very best wishes also go out to those who are currently serving Canada in the military.

We salute the bravery and sacrifices made by our servicewomen and servicemen. It is never easy to commit your life to service to one’s country, particularly in uncertain times.

That so many have chosen to protect our nation in spite of this danger is a tribute to their valour.

Our Conservative government supports the military through measures such as the Veterans’ Bill of Rights, giving better access to programs for armed services members past and present.

ROB CLARK ~ Desnethé Mississippi Churchill River

Our government’s efforts to restore monuments and cenotaphs helps pay tribute to those who have served our country, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I know that you will all be thinking of our veterans and service personnel, and their families, on Remembrance Day. We cannot thank them enough for the sacrifices they have made in defence of our great nation.

Lest we forget.

As always, I look forward to your letters, emails and calls. Write me at: Rob Clarke MP, House of Commons, 502 Justice Building, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A6. I hope you will find time to visit my website http://www.robclarkemp.ca To contact me via e-mail use clarkr@parl.gc.ca or call my constituency office toll-free at 1-866400-2334.

A day to remember and honor Canada’s sons & daughters who gave up their lives to save others.

OPINION www.shellbrookchronicle.com

November 9, 2012

Private liquor stores in Saskatchewan The announcement of three private liquor stores to open in the not so distant future has drawn the ire of the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees Union (SGEU). The Saskatchewan Government announced the plan to these private stores earlier this week which will be located in new neighbourhoods in Saskatoon and Regina.

The argument for the decision is that the government doesn't need to invest in more stores when the private sector can do the same job with no government inputs.

Arguments against it include the potential for lax regulation, loss of revenue to the private sector and the loss of good paying BRAD government jobs.

DUPUIS The government already has a well designed money making ~ framework within SLGA, with or News without the retail stores.

SLGA acts as the wholesaler for every liquor establishment in the province. This means that every bottle of hard liquor or spirits sold in this province has passed through SLGA. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

The plan incorporates a 16 per cent discount for the new retailers on products purchased through the SLGA. With a fixed markup of between 40 and 180 per cent, as reported in a Provincial Auditor's report this spring, this discount will have little impact on the SLGA's lucrative monopoly. Liquor consumption tax (LCT) has also lined the government coffers for years.

Every drop of beverage alcohol sold in the province, from any type of retailer, is subject to a 10 per cent tax. LCT is charged on all purchases from the glass of wine with your meal to your football game beer.

The idea that private retailers will sell to anyone is not only ridiculous but it is also insulting to the 600 plus private operators in the province.

Social responsibility and huge fines keep these operators honest and little would change with a private liquor store. The reality there is that if retailers want to operate outside of the rules they will eventually be caught and fined. If they continue to break the law, they will lose their liquor licence and will be forced to close. Not a great business model if you ask me.

The only valid argument against private stores is the loss of good paying government jobs. If the government opts to sell off the existing stores once their leases run out, there will be a glut of liquor store employees looking for work or taking a pay cut because private retailers will not be in a position to pay the way the government did. That will affect individuals, families and local economies which will not be good for the province as a whole.

Allowing private operators to open new stores in under served areas allows the government to meet a need without the cost of building a store while also broadening their revenue stream. It will be interesting to see how the government proceeds, whether it is a mix of public and private stores or full privatization.

Editor

Shellbrook Chronicle Polling Question

YOUR TWO CENTS ~ Editor: We really have to question the wisdom of our current relations with China, especially the Canada- China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement.

Stephen Harper and the Chinese President signed off in Vladivostok Sept. 8, no press release, it has been tabled quietly in Parliament and 21 sitting days later, Oct.31, 2012 comes into force.

No debate in public, Parliament or with other levels of government. Governments can sign treaties without Parliamentary approval, but it is unusual for something of this magnitude to not have debate.

Remember the big NAFTA debates? The House has been debating the Canada- Panama trade deal -trade volume $213 million- since last spring and the Canada- Jordan trade dealtrade volume $90 million- for 6 days. The Canada- China deal- trade volume $64 Billion- no debate whatever. Why no debate?

What is in this investment deal? It sets out a series of obligations for Canada, new rights for Chinese state owned enterprises and fails to deliver on reciprocity for Canadian companies operating in China. We are bound to the terms for the next 15 years minimum. A future government that wants out has to give 1 years notice- and even when cancelled, any existing Chinese operations in Canada are guaranteed another 15 years of benefits. Canada must promote and encourage Chinese investment in Canada. Chinese government controlled companies operating in Canada must be treated exactly the same as Canadian companies.

Now the really nasty parts. The deal allows Chinese companies to sue Canada over decisions that can reduce or diminish their expectations of profit. China can claim damages against Canada for decisions at the municipal, provincial or federal level- even decisions of our courts. Belgium is dealing with a $3 billion claim with China under a similar treaty regarding a failed bank. Chinese investors need only a minority position in a Canadian company to be covered.

Claims go to arbitration behind closed doors and are secret.

No other level of government is allowed to intervene or attend. We are essentially delegating a judicial component of Canadian sovereignty to international arbitrators. The arbitrators are not subject to review in any court. The arbitrators are not judges, often being corporate lawyers, moonlighting academics or members of corporate boards. They can awards billions of dollars of public funds to Chinese government corporations for our governments enacting legislation that protects our energy security, environment, jobs or public health.

The mere threat of a lawsuit can be used in the early part of a dispute to get a government to change or deter certain decisions. This treaty requires that if,in the future, Canada wants to conserve its natural resources- all including waterwe are only allowed to reduce Chinese access to the extent that we limit our own use. Australia, South Africa and India have wisely refused this type of investment treaty.

The government claim is that Canadian companies doing business in China will be protected.

Ways to remember those who served

Attending Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11 is the best-known way that we can publicly honour the men and women who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace. In addition, there are many other ways that we can show throughout the year that we care about the sacrifices and achievements of these one and a half million brave Canadians who served, and continue to serve, our country at home and abroad.

Remembering can take many forms: music, ceremonies, poetry, private reflection, discussion, art and shared memories from those who took part in protecting peace and freedom worldwide. In the following pages, you’ll find 50 different ways that individuals and groups can share the importance of Remembrance.

More than 110,000 men and women died so that we may live in peace and freedom today. Taking an active role to remember these people, along with the Veterans who experienced the hardships of war, military conflict and peace efforts, is one way of saying “thank you.”

Continued from page 5 However, Canadian companies cannot demand Canadian jobs or materials be used in China. China can- and is- using Chinese labour and materials in Canada. China has the upper hand with its huge investments here. Canadian companies will not be buying Chinese state owned enterprises or investing in China to the same extent..

Is this deal just to push through the Northern Gateway pipeline? Chinese backers of this pipeline and tanker project would have the right to sue the British Columbia government if it tried to block the project. In turn, the Chinese national company could demand that only Chinese labour and materials be used, and that it be protected from public opposition.

Note that up to 2,000 Chinese workers could soon be given temporary work permits to work in 4 largely Chinese owned coal mines in B.C. Temporary foreign workers in Canada have increased from 101,000 in 2002 to 300,000 in 2011. The $15 billion takeover of oil company Nexen by CNOOC,the corrupt organ of the Chinese Communist Party, is pending.

This investment deal gives China‘s national oil companies more power to shape Canada‘s energy markets and challenge the politics of this country than Canadians themselves.

We are reduced to hewers of bitumen and drawers of water by our Prime Minister. A request was made for an emergency debate in the House of Commons. Speaker Andrew Scheer decided that this deal did not warrant an emergency debate. What do you think?

The question of farmland ownership Who should own farmland?

That is a question which will increasingly be asked as we move forward, and it is a question with an unclear answer.

There is of course a feeling among many that we should keep farmland owned by our neighbours as much as possible.

It would be nice if farmland was owned by those who will till the soil to grow crops, but that is no longer reasonable.

Farming is a multi-million dollar business these days and is increasingly one where the investment is beyond neighbouring farmers.

Even so-called family farms are today often corporate entities encompassing fathers, brothers, sons and other family members who work collectively to manage the scale of operation we now see as average farms.

But the question which remains is what happens as ever larger farms come on the market?

Neighbouring farmers may no longer have the capacity to simply amalgamate their farms with that of others in the area through a buy-out.

In Saskatchewan for a very long time farmland needed to be owned by residents of the province.

It was a strange precept as part of a country, where you would assume any Canadian's name on the title would be seen as appropriate.

Those rules have been relaxed but there are still rules governing offshore ownership of farmland.

The question is how inappropriate is the idea of someone in Europe or the Far East owning land which is CALVIN then tilled by others?

It should always be remembered DANIELS this country was formed via the ef~ forts of immigrants.

Often those immigrants would have no doubt accessed financial support from relatives, or friends in their country of origin, to help expand farm operations.

In this era we are seeing a new influx of immigration into Canada, and that includes to the Prairie provinces.

Often those immigrants have access to money, and land is a good investment.

Human resource management on the farm

BY MORLEY AYARS, PAG SASK MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE

Human resource management is becoming a major issue for many farms.

How does one manage family labour so that family members remain interested in the farming operation? What is a good way to manage hired labour so that employees remain productive and engaged in the success of the farming business? A well thought out human resource plan will help in addressing these questions and other human resource issues on the farm.

Farmers who wish to keep the family farm within the family should think about developing a successor. This means having a positive attitude towards the agricultural industry and the family farm in particular.

Children, who hear their farming parents complain about how weather, gov-

ernment and big business are robbing farmers of their profits, will probably be discouraged from entering the farming business. Farming children will more likely be successful farmers when they choose farming as a desirable career choice.

Developing a successor involves the gradual transfer of knowledge, production and management skills and ultimately the transfer of the decision making on the farm.

This process requires a plan so that the successor knows when they will be able to make the major business decisions.

The business relationship between the parent and child will be short lived if the successor feels they are viewed as a source of inexpensive labour.

Many of the human resource management skills required for developing a successor apply to dealing with employees. Gregory

Billikopf suggests in his book “Labor Management in Agriculture,” that human resource management skills have three key characteristics.

These involve a concern for employees and their productivity, an understanding on how to manage people and being committed to actions that lead to specific results.

Employee output is directly impacted by the manager’s attitude towards the quality of product being produced. The employee’s productivity will increase when they believe they are part of a team that is producing a valuable product. Their productivity is also impacted by how they feel management views them.

There is a direct relationship between performance and managements concern about the employee’s needs. Employee’s hope their manager values their opinions and feelings, treat them courteously, honour terms and conditions of employment agreements, provide positive feed-back for good work, and are concerned about the productivity and well fair of other employees.

Labour management skills involve the ability to get employees to meet their potential. That is they are doing what they

can do. This involves listening to employees to see if there is a better way to accomplish the production goals. How things are done can be organized in a different manner. Insure that the job expectations align with the job description. Hold effective recruitment strategies and interviews to insure that the farm is attracting qualified candidates. Insure that underachieving employees are disciplined in a constructive manner as an example to other employees. When underachieving employees are not managed properly the result could be other productive employees will adopt the same practices or quit.

This leads to action committed to achieve specific results. Action here refers to dealing with people issues. Some are best left alone while others need to be dealt with immediately.

When situations arise it is important that a plan be established that leads to a specific result. Action may be appropriate but speed is not essential.

For further information on human resource management contact your Saskatchewan Agriculture Regional Farm Business Management Specialist or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-4572377.

That may not mean they want to ride a tractor, or haul grain to the elevator themselves, but they may well see land as a viable investment over the long term.

It may not be the farm industry we most want to see, but it could be the best way for farmers today to realize the best returns when they seek to retire and put their land for sale.

When one decides it is time to retire they are looking to ensure they have the funds to enjoy retirement and to help the next generation of their family.

It matters not whether the cheque for the farm comes from someone down the road, or half a world away.

The answer of farmland ownership is a twofold one.

On the one hand it is a case of farmers releasing the greatest possible returns when retiring.

But there is also the issue of having control of a resource which is perhaps the most critical one to a country's long term viability since it is the source of food production.

Even in a world of free trade holding local control of such a key resource is a compelling argument to make.

And the debate is one which remains to be defined as the face of agriculture continues to evolve.

Leask Rec Board looking forward to busy season The Leask Rec Board is going through a resurrection for the 2012-13 year.

The board, which was largely dormant last year, is making a big comeback for this year with a long list of events. The group is kicking off the season with a “Welcome winter” pancake breakfast November 18 at the Leask Rec Centre where residents can go out for breakfast for a good cause while finding out what is in store for the season at the rink.

Once the natural ice rink is up and running, the group plans to host after school skates, family event Sundays and pick up hockey games in addition to ice rentals for hockey teams in neighbouring communi-

ties.

Next up is the Christmas in November home business and craft sale November 24 at the Leask Lions Hall.

December 8, the board will be hosting the Community Christmas Party, featuring Dixie Highway.

Tickets are $30, including meal and dance, which are available until December 1 at the Village and RM of Leask offices.

Funds raised from these events will go back into the operation and upkeep of the Leask Rec Centre.

Look for posters and further advertising in the coming weeks for rink event schedules.

Veterans Week: Canada remembers During Veterans week, Canadians from across the country take time to remember and give thanks for the sacrifices of our Veterans. From the trenches to the skies over Europe and the oceans of the world, Canadians have fought with pride and courage to defend our way of life, and all that we hold dear. Without these men and women who have so bravely gone to defend us, we would most certainly not be able to live in this wonderful country we have today.

Throughout the week, we ask that Canadians find different ways to remember and focus on making remembrance not only something you think about, but something you do, an active pursuit. Whether it is attending Remembrance Day ceremonies, wearing a poppy, or simply stopping a Veteran to say thanks.

Canadians should be commended for their already strong support, people come out in thousands for Remembrance Day activities and you often struggle to see someone without a poppy. Remembrance alone is however not enough, not from a government. A government must take action on a constant basis to ensure that Veterans and their sacrifices are not only remembered, but the Veterans and their families who have made these sacrifices feel the support and receive the care and benefits that they so rightly deserve.

Our Conservative Government has made remembrance and the improvement of benefits and services twin priorities in our determination to show our deep sense of gratitude to those that have and those that still serve. We devoted ourselves to enhancing

Veterans benefits through historic investments and to cutting red tape around the important benefits and services that Veterans need and use. We have implemented up front payments for the Veterans Independence Program (VIP) which is eliminating thousands of paper transactions per year and are simplifying forms and using more plain language when communicating with Veterans. Recently, we launched a full suite of e-services including the Benefits Browser, the My VAC account, and my VAC book, three online tools that will help Veterans and their families to not only find out what benefits and services are relevant to them but also allows Veterans to make changes to their personal information and track applications 24/7 and from anywhere in the world including from a mobile device.

This year marks the 95th anniversary of the battle at Vimy Ridge as well as the 95th anniversary of the capture of Passchendale.

It also marks the 70th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid, all three remarkable moments in Canadian history. We are proud to remember these events and the sacrifices of those that were there for their sacrifices have defined us as Canadians and without them the wonderful country we enjoy today would not be.

We must never lose sight of the sacrifices that have safeguarded all that we hold dear and must never forget to show our gratitude to those that have and continue to protect us.

Lest we forget.

Medical profession act introduced Saskatchewan patients will benefit from legislative changes that will support physicians and nurses working to their full scope of practice.

The Medical Profession Amendment Act, 2012 was introduced in the Legislative Assembly today to replace legislation originally enacted in 1981. It will create the opportunity for both doctors and nurses to work to full scope and identify circumstances where the delegation of medical functions between providers is in the best interest of patients.

“These amendments support our efforts to provide appropriate care for patients and the safest possible health

care environments for both patients and health providers,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “This is a positive step forward in putting our patients’ interests first.”

“The College of Physicians and Surgeons strongly supports the change to its legislation,” College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan Registrar Dr. Karen Shaw said. “The changes will allow for more flexibility in appropriately licensing physicians, as well as providing more opportunity for care to be provided by the professionals who are appropriately skilled to provide that care.”

The amendments also provide the

Shellbrook Restaurant

College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) with the authority to create bylaws that will: •allow the College to respond more quickly to the anticipated national changes in categories of licensure of health professionals; and •improve the ability of the CPSS to contact physicians and facilitate protection and storage of patient files.

“The Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association (SRNA) has been involved in ongoing dialogue with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan,” SRNA Executive Director Karen Eisler said.

Elks outpace Generals in AAA exhibition action

Brett Robillard tries to cut off the passing lane of the Generals’ Jason Lundmark during Saturday nights fast paced exhibition matchup between the Shellbrook Elks and the Bentley Generals.

The Shellbrook Elks rewarded the home crowd with action packed win in A A A Exhibition action with the Bentley Generals.

The Elks took the lead early in the first on a goal from Hugh Hamilton.

They doubled their lead with 4:59 left in the first period on a a goal from Floyd Cook.

Bentley battled back in the second with a gaol from Captain Sean Robertson.

The third period was a wild one with five goals scored but the Elks managed to hang on for the win. Travis Dunstall scored just over a minute into the third to tie the game a two goals a piece.

The Elks’ Cook scored his second of the night to give the Elks a 3-2 lead 30 seconds later but the Generals’ Curtis Austring tied the game again at three with 16:26 left in the period.

Goals from Joel Belair and Chris Wilson five minutes apart gave the Elks the cushion they needed to get the win. Chris Neizzner, of the Generals, scored with 3:51 left in the game to bring the game within one but were unable to tie the game.

Through three periods of hard checking, fast action, trips to the penalty box were relatively few as a combined

11

12 penalties were called. The Generals powerplay went 1 for 7 while the Elks went 1 for 5 with the man advantage.

The Generals, host of the 2013 A llan Cup, finished the weekend without a win as they tied the Rosetown Redwings Friday night before losing to the Elks Saturday.

Elks 4 Hague 1 The opened the Fort Carlton Hockey League season with a win at home Friday night over the Hague Royals.

Shellbrook jumped out to a lead 13 seconds into the first period off of the stick of Brett Robillard.

The Elks took a three goal lead before the midway point of the first with goals from Ryan Gareau and Josh Peterson Travis Goebel put the Royals on the board with 3 minutes remaining in the first before a long scoreless stretch that lasted more than two periods.

The Elks took a three goal lead with Peterson’s second goal of the night with just two seconds left on the clock.

The Elks hit the road next weekend as they visit the Tisdale Ramblers Friday night.

The Elks’ next home action is Saturday November 17 when they host the Bruno T-Birds. The puck drops at 8 p.m.

Coop gives to Big River ski hill The Prince Albert Co-operative Association presented the Big River Cooperative Ski Hill with a $10,000.00 dollar donation to help complete their Chalet project.

The ski hill is a volunteer run organization consisting of 7 ski runs with ski rentals and a restaurant. The new 30 X 60 foot addition comes with an upper

16 X 60 foot deck and a lower level 16 X 60 foot patio making it possible for patrons to enjoy the picturesque landscape of the Northern Ski hill.

The new Chalet compares to any resort found in the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia and is simply breath taking. Total cost of the project was $ 425,000.00; the committee is

hoping to make this a year round facility encouraging family reunions, weddings and other gatherings. The ski hill not only facilitates local residents but in fact brings people from all over Saskatchewan.

The donation was a way for the Coop to support the people who support them.

Winter is an ideal time to prune -BY ERL SVENDSEN

If you’re an avid gardener like me, then there really isn’t any time of year that’s off limits for gardening, even in the depth of winter. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’re only at the start of winter with many mild days ahead.

One task that is best done between now and spring is tree pruning. With the leaves off, the tree’s skeleton is visible as are poten-

tial problems that need to be corrected. In addition, branches are lighter in winter as most of the heavy tree sap has been stored down in the root system.

There are 2 main types of cuts – heading back and branch removal. Heading back is simply making the branch shorter by removing a portion towards the end, usually a part of current or last year’s growth.

Cut just in front of an out-

ward-facing bud. How far back is too far? My rule of thumb is if the resulting cut branch end has a larger diameter than my thumb, then consider cutting the branch back to a branch ‘Y’ or complete branch removal.

For complete branch removal, do not make a flush cut. In other words, do not damage the branch collar or the slight swollen area where the branch meets the

trunk. At the same time, do not leave a stump long enough to hang your hat on. Large branch removal requires a multi-step approach. First make a long shallow cut on the underside of the branch, breaking the bark, about 30 cm away from the trunk. Next, 45 cm away from the trunk, remove the branch entirely.

Finally, remove the resulting stump.

Attempting to remove the large branch in one cut may result in significant trunk bark damage: large branches typically break off before you finish making your cut but the bark remains unbroken. As the branch falls to the ground, a substantial strip of bark may be ripped from the trunk before finally breaking off.

Hand pruners (secateurs) are appropriate for small cuts (< 2 cm). Anything larger requires saws and even power tools. Tools must be sharp to make clean cuts, ensuring rapid healing.

Three easy problems to spot right off are death, damage and disease. Recently dead branches may be difficult to spot and if in doubt, leave until spring.

Older dead branches will have discoloured, shriveled or sloughing bark. Remove these entirely back to the trunk. Depending where the branch is damaged or diseased, it may be as simple as cutting the branch back to just before the problem area if it occurs towards the end of the branch. Or, if affected portion is closer to the trunk, perhaps the whole branch needs to be removed. Rubbing branches create their own kind of damage, where

bark is rubbed off on both branches where they touch.

The solution here is to remove one of the rubbing branches; the bark will eventually recover on the remaining branch. With diseases like fireblight (e.g. on apples, mountain ash, pear, etc.), black knot (e.g. on chokecherry, mayday, etc.) and other cankers, make your cut at least 6 inches back of the affected area and dip your cutting tool in rubbing alcohol between cuts to prevent disease spread.

Watersprouts (long upward growing shoots from the trunk or mature limbs) and suckers (similar to watersprouts, but growing from the root system) need to be removed where they attach to the tree.

These will eventually lead to crossing branches. With suckers it is best to dig down to where they attach to the root. Take care to minimize damage to the bark as this may stimulate additional branching at the cut area.

Minor hazard branches are those that will literally poke you in the eye as you’re mowing the lawn (or shoveling snow), scratch the car, and in general make it difficult to move freely around in your yard and garden. These are dealt with either heading back or removal.

Safety first: Wear gloves and eye protection for personal safety. Ensure that pets, children and obstacles are out of the way. Especially make sure there’s nothing below that falling branches can damage (like your car and powerlines).

If working from a ladder, move it rather than reaching over too far – remem-

ber that you’re holding sharp tools that you can lose track of as you fall with a tipping ladder.

Riders getting ready for playoff return Time for the playoffs! After going home early one year ago, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are back in the CFL post-season party and they'll visit Calgary's house in the Western SemiFinal Sunday afternoon.

The Riders learned late-Friday night that they would face Calgary in Round 1 after the Stampeders' Week 19 win in Edmonton.

That rendered Saturday's Rider game in BC meaningless which is a good thing because the Riders lost 17-6, their fourth loss in a row.

"My first thought was people talked about whether it's better to go East or West in the playoffs but I think there was a stretch in the season where we played Calgary,

ROD PEDERSEN ~

Voice of The Riders BC and then went to Toronto," Rider head coach Corey Chamblin said confidently.

"I told you we'd do it (win them all). It's one of those things where

it just solidified what we thought and it happened that way."

Oh my what a fun week this is going to be! The Riders feel like they have a home playoff game because the Rider Nation habitually takes over McMahon Stadium in Calgary and this week will be no different.

The Stampeders are the Riders' top rival and there's plenty of hard feelings between the two.

The Roughriders have quietly simmered since blowing a fourth quarter lead in Week 4 at Calgary, their only visit to McMahon, and would love to atone for it.

Of course outspoken Calgary tailback Jon Cornish said Chamblin "isn't classy" for boldly guaranteeing he wouldn't rush for 100

yards in their Week 13 meeting in Regina.

Of course, Cornish didn't and got so frustrated in the process he dropped his pants and mooned Rider fans on the East side of Mosaic Stadium.

"I saw what Cornish said about me," Chamblin, who has never suffered from a lack of confidence, said.

"You tell Jon Cornish all of Canada knows him for what he did. And in 30 years he'll always remember me and my classiness."

Consider the first shot fired.

Of course there's the little matter of the Riders carrying a four-game losing streak into the playoffs. But don't be fooled; Saturday's loss in BC was a mirage.

Darian Durant and Weston Dressler took the night off and Chris Getzlaf only played a series.

On defence Odell Willis and Joe Lobendahn were excused as well.

"Glad it's over with," Chamblin said after the game. "Time to move onto the playoffs. We were able to see some good things out there. We didn't stack a full deck but some guys played their hearts out."

Chamblin has long maintained that come playoff time, his young troops would be ready. It would appear as though they are, as evidenced by the comment from Saturday's offensive game star Brandon West.

He said "It's grind time".

Let's grind.

Now, the real curling pressure begins In a little more than 12 months from now , the best curlers in Canada will gather in Winnipeg with more than cash on the line, more prestige than a Brier title or more legacy-building honour than a world championship.

On the line is something that has become the No. 1 prize in curling — a chance at Olympic gold.

Canada being the curling capital of the world brings extreme pressure to whichever two teams win the Olympic Trials and head off to Sochi, Russia in February, 2014 with simple instructions: Win gold.

As this year’s curling season swings into high gear, the focus of all competitive curlers will be to gain enough points to be included in the elite field in Winnipeg Dec. 1-8, 2013. How elite? Only eight men’s and eight women’s teams will qualify.

All the usual suspects, and a few fresh names, will be in the running. The obvious men’s contenders are Alberta’s two Kevins, Koe and Martin, Manitoba’s Mike McEwen and Jeff Stoughton, and Ontario’s Glenn Howard.

Saskatchewan’s best hope in past years, Pat Simmons, gave up trying to beat the big boys and joined Koe’s team last year as third when Blake McDonald retired.

A couple of sleepers on the men’s side include Ontario’s John Epping, Manitoba’s Rob Fowler and Saskatchewan’s Steven Laycock, who was part of Simmons’ team

until his skip’s departure, and now skips his own team which has had a little bit of success on the World Curling Tour circuit.

On the women’s side, Cheryl Bernard was Canada’s Olympic rep in 2010 at Vancouver and hopes to repeat. Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg is missing part of this season due to motherhood, but vows to be ready for the Trials. Saskatchewan has two top contenders — Stefanie Lawton and Amber Holland — while B.C.’s Kelly Scott has a world title on her resume. Ontario’s Sherry Middaugh, a good ol’ Saskatchewan girl who moved east to marry Wayne Middaugh, is having a super year on the cash circuit.

If you’re a competitive curler, earning a berth in the Brier or Scotties in 2013 is a big deal, but qualifying for the Olympic Trials is the créme de la créme. You might be able to make it to a Brier or Scotties 10 times or more in a 30-year career.

But when the Winter Olympics come along only once every four years, it’s a rare opportunity, ramping up the pressure for the ultimate prestige.

The beads of sweat are already clearly evident on the faces of those with Olympic dreams.

OBITUARY ~ Alice Betty Viklund VIKLUND - Alice Betty, 1920 – 2012.

The family of the late Alice Betty Viklund sadly announce her passing on October 16, 2012 at the age of 92. She was ushered into Heaven peacefully with Nurse Gwen Nolan of WPP in Canwood, singing hymns to her.

Alice was born in Sweden on July 6, 1920 and immigrated to Canada in 1927, with her mother, grandparents and other relatives.

Her family eventually settled in the Deer Ridge Area with many other Swedes.

In 1931 she began attending the National Park School in Deer Ridge, but only until she was fifteen as she had to quit to help at home. In 1937 she travelled to Nelson, BC with her family and after spending a short time there she returned to Sask.

In 1947 she married Walter Viklund and they settled down on his farm in Deer Ridge. While in Deer Ridge, David was born in 1949 and Edith (Edie) in 1952.

The snowy winter of 1955/56 must have been too much for them, so in March of 1956 they rented out their land and moved to Buffalo Narrows. There Walter worked on the big Churchill Mink Ranch and Alice worked at Waite Fisheries Fish Plant. After 3 years they purchased their own mink ranch and worked together feeding up to 1100 mouths one summer.

In 1966 mink prices fell to almost nothing so Walter began working on the ferry and Alice worked as a guard for the RCMP. In 1976 they moved back to Deer Ridge to help their son David with farming.

Alice was left a widow in 1985 and lived on the farm till she moved into Heritage Place in Shellbrook in 2003. In 2008 her health took a turn for the worse and she moved to Whispering Pine Place in Canwood, where she lived until her passing.

Grandma was a very hardworking lady and loved being outdoors. She loved gardening, growing flowers, picking berries, fishing, working with cattle and almost anything outside.

We’re not sure if she really enjoyed it but in the summer she would cut all her grass with a push mower and in the winter

PRAISE & WORSHIP ~

Regular services, Sunday school and special events will be listed at no charge.

shovel and sweep her steps and sidewalk after a snowfall.

But she didn’t spend all her time outside, as she was also an exceptional cook and baker. Her cookie jar was usually well stocked as well as her candy dish. It was almost impossible to stop at her house without having coffee, baking, lunch or if you were really fortunate perhaps a Palt Supper (Swedish dish).

Another gift she had was the ability to talk and visit with anyone whether a friend , neighbor, family member or a stranger at the grocery store, fishing along the lake shore, hospital, church, etc. She loved children and was always involved in Sunday School. She also hosted Vacation Bible School in her yard for a week straight for several years. She looked forward to going to Bible studies and church on Sundays and loved singing hymns. We will miss you grandma and will hold many good memories in our hearts forever.

Alice is lovingly remembered and will be greatly missed by her son, David (Theresa) Viklund of Deer Ridge, B.C. ; grandsons, Keith Henry (Kim) of Vancouver, B.C., Kevin Henry of Saskatoon, SK, Kerry Henry of Saskatoon, SK, Royce Viklund of Deer Ridge, SK; granddaughters, Shauneen Viklund (Michael) of Prince Albert, SK, Raeleen Viklund of Saskatoon, SK; eight great grandchildren; sister, Betty Kazakoff of Salmon Arm, B.C.; sisters-in-law, Anita Ek of Summerland, B.C. and Agnes Viklund of Creston, B.C.; son-in-law, Harold Henry of Saskatoon, SK; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by: her husband, Walter Viklund; daughter, Edie Henry; parents, Oscar and Jenny Ek; sister, Ruth Randell; brother, Eric Ek; in-laws, Karl and Tekla Viklund; grandson, Mark Viklund; numerous brother and sister-in-laws; and many of her former friends. The Funeral Service was held on Friday, October 19, 2012 at 2:00 PM at the Pentecostal Church, Shellbrook, SK. officiated by Pastor Claude Tucker. Interment followed in Deer Ridge Cemetery.

The pianist was Helen Stene, the eulogists were her granddaughters – Shauneen and Raeleen and a special song was performed by Alice’s former Deer Ridge Bible Study Group.

Pallbearers were Kevin Henry, Shauneen Viklund, Raeleen Viklund, Royce Viklund, Jadeyn Viklund and Sarah Henry.

Honorary Pallbearers were “Everyone who knew and loved Alice”. Memorial donations in memory of Alice may be made to the Canwood and District Bus Association Inc. or the Gideon Bible Society. Arrangements entrusted to Hawryluk Funeral Home.

GOOD NEWS ~ Receive the Son and you get everything. I read somewhere that has been referred to as a modern day parable.

“A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art: everything from Picasso to Raphael. When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, there was a

knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.

He said, “Sir, you don’t know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart. He died instantly. He often talked about you and your love for art.”

The young man held out the package and said, “I know this isn’t much.

I’m not a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.” The father opened the package and gazed at a portrait of his son. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured his son in the painting.

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. When visitors came to his home, he always drew attention to the portrait of his son before he showed them any other great works.

When the father died, his paintings were to be auctioned. Many influential people gathered, excited about the opportunity to purchase them.

On the platform sat the painting of the son.

The auctioneer pounded his gavel and asked for someone to start the bidding. The crowd scoffed and demanded the Van Goghs and the Rem-

November 9, 2012

brandts. But the auctioneer persisted.

“Who will start the bidding? $200? $100?” The crowd again insisted on seeing the famous paintings. Still the auctioneer solicited, “The son! The son! Who’ll take the son?”

Finally a voice said, “I’ll give $10 for the painting.” The longtime gardener of the father was poor and couldn’t afford anything more. While the auctioneer continued to pursue a higher bid, the crowd became angry.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel and sold the painting for $10 to the gardener.

An eager buyer from the second row bellowed, “Finally, on with the auction.” But the auctioneer explained, “I’m sorry, the auction is over. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings. The man who took the son gets everything.” Would you be willing to receive the Son of God Jesus? Receive Him you receive everything you will possibly need.
