Rider legend headlines fundraiser Gene Makowsky, retired offensive lineman for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and now Sask Party MLA for ReginaDewdney, was the guest speaker at a Rosthern-Shellbrook Constituency Association fundraising dinner in Spiritwood Nov 17.

Makowsky retired after a seventeen year career with the Riders, for whom he now holds the record for the most games – 284 --played in the green and white. His address was short on politics, but long on recollection and humor, which seemed to suit his audience just fine. In it, he compared his former occupation to his new one.

One of the similarities between football and politics, he said, was its competitiveness.

“I worked hard,” he said about his 2011 campaign in Regina to unseat the NDP incumbent. “I wanted to win.”

He said that the team concept was another similarity, and also, careers are short.

“It can be a tough business,” he said.

“There are no guarantees. And also, when things go wrong, you only get blame.”

One difference he noted that was that in politics, there is no physical contact.

“That’s both good and bad,” he joked..

He said that in football, a player gets immediate feedback, whereas a politician gets feedback “once every four years.”

“I’m a rookie all over again,” he said.

He explained why he got into politics.

“I’ve always been interested in government,” he said, “I liked Social Studies class.

I was an armchair Prime Minister, MP, ‘ah, just do it.’”

“But it’s not that easy,” he said.

About the Sask Party caucus, he said “We have so many passionate people who care so much about this province.

“I have three young boys,” he went on. “I love Saskatchewan. It’s my home.”

He said that over the years he saw so many young people heading west because there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for them in Saskatchewan.

“I didn’t want that for my kids,” he said.

“I want my kids to have an opportunity right here in Saskatchewan.”

“Our premier is a difference-maker,” he said. “I like the new Saskatchewan. I like people succeeding. I don’t want to go back to where we were before.”

Prior to the guest speaker, MLA Scott Moe gave a couple of highlights of the Saskatchewan Growth Plan.

New doctor arrives in Shellbrook Almost exactly a year after his first visit to the community, Dr. Imran Ibrahim has arrived in Shellbrook to assume a role as part of the Primary care team as a resident physician.

Dr. Ibrahim and his family visited Shellbrook last November to see if the community would be a fit. The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region and the Parkland Doctor Recruitment and Retention Committee have been working with him ever since.

“We are excited that Dr. Ibrahim has arrived in Shellbrook,” said Lynnda Berg, Vice-President Primary Care.

“We want to thank Parkland Physician Recruitment Committee for their hard work and commitment to recruiting physicians to the community. We also know how important it is for the people of Shellbrook and area that we are able to stabilize physician services and build towards the re-opening of acute care services.”

Up to this point in time, the community has been receiving services from resident physician Dr. Anatole Nguegno, as well as physicians who travel from other communities to provide clinic ser-

vices. The arrival of Dr. Ibrahim will enhance primary health care capacity in Shellbrook.

“We are very pleased to have Dr. Ibrahim and his family in Shellbrook,” said Amund Otterson, chair of the recruitment and retention committee.

“The work of the Parkland Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee and the Health Region team is really paying off. We are on the road to re-establishing full medical services in Shellbrook.

This event along with the anticipated arrival of more physicians in the near future is a great step for the community and the Health Region.”

Dr. Ibrahim is the first of five international medical graduates who have accepted employment offers to work in Shellbrook. The other four are at various stages of meeting licensure and immigration requirements.

The team of Doug Schmirler, Wayne Bazley, Gloria Nichol and Sylvia Savage completed the improbable during a Monday afternoon curling match -- an eight ender.

For accomplishing this feat, the team will receive 8- Ender pins and certificates from the Canadian Curling Association.

Makowsky entertains crowd

Former Saskatchewan Roughrider and current Regina Dewdney MLA Gene Makowsky takes time after his guest speaking duties to sign autographs for those in attendance.

Continued from page 1 “We spent the summer consulting with stakeholder groups,” Moe said.

“We’ve had some good things happen over the past few years. We set out to see what we had to do to ensure it continues as we move forward.”

He said that the growth plan is unique because it goes beyond the four-year cycles that politicians typically think in.

“This goes to 2020,” he said. “It’s good for our province to think in terms of that.”

He said that the consultation process showed that there was a need for infrastructure funding.

“Whether it be rinks, hospitals, highways, sewer and water lines,” he said, “we need to work at all three levels of government to address our infrastruc-

ture needs if we are to continue to grow at the rate we have.”

He went on to provide some agricultural statistics, “Sometimes we undersell ourselves,” he said. “We are the largest food exporting province in Canada, due in no small part to the hard work of our farm families and industry partners, and it is something we can be very proud of.”

He said that 58% of the lentils, 55% of the peas, 38% of the canola and 34% of the mustard produced in the world comes from Saskatchewan, and Saskatchewan is the second-largest beef exporter in Canada.

“The government does have some place in agriculture in fostering an environment that will allow us to expand, and we certainly want to do that.”

Several MLAs from around the province came out to the supper to support Moe at the fundraiser for the Constituency Association. This list included: Victoria Jurgens (Prince Albert Northcote), Corey Tochor (Saskatoon Eastview) and Larry Doke (Cut Knife-Turtleford).

A number of door prizes were drawn, including three #60 Makowsky Rider jerseys, which the rookie MLA gladly autographed.

At the end of the evening, Makowsky was presented with a green sweater signed by all in attendance as a gift for his contribution to the evening.

The MC for the evening was Bevra Fee, president of the Rosthern-Shellbrook Sask Party Constituency Association.

Funding to help patrons assume pasture operations Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced funding this week to help pasture patron groups prepare to assume operation of federal community pastures.

“Returning these lands back to their provincial owners is a great opportunity for those, with a more direct stake in the use of the land, to take over the pasture management,” said Ritz. “Our government is pleased to work with the Province of Saskatchewan and use the flexibility of Growing Forward programming to support this transfer.”

“Pasture patrons have been the priority for our government throughout this transition,” Stewart said. “This funding will help patron groups with the business costs associated with assuming operation of these pastures and we will continue working hand-in-hand with them throughout this process.”

Funding will be available to patron groups for up to 75 per cent of the costs associated with establishing legal entities and the development of business plans, up to a maximum of $80,000. In addition, funding will be available for up to 75 per cent of the costs for patrons to improve their business management skills, up to a maximum of $40,000.

Pasture patron groups are eligible for a maximum benefit of up to $120,000 per group. Funding will be provided under the Saskatchewan Farm Business Development Initiative.

Funding to help patrons establish business plans, form legal entities and access training was one of the recommendations made by the Pastures Advisory Committee.

The Committee is made up of industry leaders and was appointed to provide advice and recommendations to the provincial government regarding the transition of these pastures.

“We are pleased the federal and provincial governments are providing this funding to assist patrons in developing their business plans,” Saskatchewan Stock Growers President Harold Martens said. “We know this transition will require some business expertise and this funding will go a long way to helping ensure a smooth transition.”

“We have heard from many pasture patrons who are looking to move forward with establishing a business model and this funding will assist them in that process,” SARM President David Marit said. “We appreciate this funding and the support governments are providing to patrons.”

For more information, patrons can contact their local Ministry of Agriculture Regional Services office, call 1-866-457-2377 or visit www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca.

Funding for this program is being provided under the federal-provincial Growing Forward agreement.

OPINION www.shellbrookchronicle.com

November 23, 2012

The dangers of modern life "You have a secret that can ruin your life."

That phrase sounds like basic premise of the latest blockbuster thriller or best selling novel but they hold a sense of truth for all of us.

That phrase is the opening line from a column written by Wired Magazine senior writer Mat Honan.

Honan was the victim of an "epic hack" this summer that spanned his entire digital life.

Despite elaborate passwords, the hacker(s) found their way into his Apple,Twitter and gmail accounts.

Using this information they wiped all of his Apple devices of their content, including the photos of his 18 month old daughter.

After this immense invasion of his privacy, he went on to exhaustively research internet security.

What he found was that our digital lives are just too easy to crack and the reason for that is that passwords are no longer an BRAD efficient way to protect our priDUPUIS vacy. He argues that because all of our digital accounts- Face~ book, email, online banking- are News linked, if you have access to one you can find a way to access it all. If a hacker finds their way into your email account they can simply send password requests to your bank and social media accounts to gain further access to your life.

The biggest problem, he says, is that in order for people to use these digital offerings they have to be convenient but convenient doesn't usually translate into effective.

An eight digit alphanumeric password offers no real challenge to a seasoned hacker, who could be anyone from a member of the Russian mob to your neighbour's 14-year-old kid. With the processing power of today's basic computers, it would take just minutes to breach a password of even the most random characters. While coming up with a 30o character alphanumeric password would help keep miscreants out of your business, it would also keep the owners of accounts out as well.

Adding the extra protection of security questions isn't all that effective either as many of us give freely of our personal information.

I've always thought it was a bad idea to post pictures to social media while on vacation but the reality is that volunteering any type of information online gives hackers and thieves a glimpse into your life and a shot at stealing your personal information. We just make it too easy for them.

Essentially, we've been lulled into complacency with the use of passwords. Because everyone uses them and there is no real alternative, we trust that they will keep our accounts safe but in today's world that just isn't possible.

Honan's proposed solution involves a decrease in personal privacy. System check ups that involve keying in on our location, DNA verification and speech patterns.

It all sounds like the plot from a futuristic, dystopian novel but this is the new reality in our mega-wired, computer dependant lives.

Honan's piece, " Kill the Password: Why a String of Characters Can’t Protect Us Anymore" can be found at http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/11/ff-mat-honan-password-hacker/all/

VIEWPOINT www.shellbrookchronicle.com

Generic drug reform

Be wary of organic claims Dear Editor: Thank you for the article in the Shellbrook Chronicle (12/10/19-p. 3) and Spiritwood Herald titled ‘Organic claims not always accurate.’ It was good to point out that the systems in place now is not perfect, because of the premium pricing there are people in the game who are more inspired by the extra bucks rather than what the designation ‘Organic’ stands for. Column 2 correctly gives one confidence that it SHOULD have no GMO, for instance.

Unfortunately, the greed part inspired I.S. Orgs when they brought in the government hoping for official status and the US Government lowered standards. It’s arrived in Canada after much discussion altered. As the article points out Organic Crop/Horizon/Cascadoian Farms/General Mills aren’t going to stand on the sidelines watching someone else’s cash register ring up premiums. Accordingly, we now need to personally inspect a farm and maybe move on to ‘Permaculture’, etc. Org definitely needs tightening up or articles that make attempts to reduce it to zero deserving or not.

I have not read Avery’s book, but there is more to be said on this. The ice age passed over mineralized rocks grinding them and leaving behind only what they contained. The US Government knowing this ordered a survey, around 1939, of what soils had and didn’t;have to grow nutritious crops. The war and post war surplus of munitions stopped this. We now have the age of N.P.K. If it looks like a carrot, it must be a carrot mentality.

Shellbrook Chronicle Polling Question

YOUR TWO CENTS ~ Dear Editor, What would you sell to save the life of a loved one? Everything? So would the African grandmothers to save the lives of their children and grandchildren.

In 2004, Canadians kept their promise to the world to make life saving generic drugs accessible to developing countries. Parliament unanimously passed Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR).

Unfortunately, CAMR is fatally flawed. In the many days, weeks, months, and years since that proud moment, one shipment of drugs made it to one country.

Two CAMR reform efforts have been thwarted by prorogation and an election call. Another effort will die if not passed on November 28. The death of Bill C-398 will result in more preventable deaths.

The African grandmothers would sacrifice everything for their children—we need only sacrifice a few moments to contact our MPs.

Government updates more than 70 liquor regulations

The provincial government is modernizing Saskatchewan’s liquor regulations with a focus on reducing red tape and creating new opportunities and flexibility for businesses.

“Saskatchewan has many liquor regulations that haven’t undergone a comprehensive review for decades,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer said.

“Our government is pleased to make these changes today and remains committed to reviewing regulations on an ongoing basis.”

Included in the more than 70 changes: salons, spas and movie theatres will be eligible for special use liquor permits, restaurants will be able to offer Bring Your Own Wine (BYOW) service to customers, eligibility for off-sale endorsements will be expanded; and increased flexibility for golf courses and

sports stadiums.

In 2010, a government-wide review of red tape was initiated. The province’s alcohol regulations were the first to go through this process. The review of liquor regulations included feedback from stakeholders and a detailed review by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA).

Some of the changes will require legislative and regulatory amendments while others will occur through SLGA policy changes.

The necessary legislative amendments are expected to be introduced during the current fall legislative session and are expected to be passed in the spring along with necessary regulatory amendments. SLGA’s policy changes will occur in the coming months. All liquor permittees will be notified of the various changes.

Future of agriculture molded by Harper's vision When we look at agriculture in the future in this country it is going to look like Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party's vision of the sector.

The Harper led Conservatives have had a vision of agriculture unfettered by any government rules and regulations, and now with its first majority government it is pushing its agenda to fruition.

The first massive change was the elimination of the single-desk selling agency for Prairie-grown wheat, durum and export bound barley, the Canadian Wheat Board.

The process undertaken by the Conservative government was suspect, and whether ultimately deemed illegal by the courts, it certainly played fast and loose with the spirit of Parliament.

That said, it was a change this government would have ultimately been able to manifest based on the aforementioned majority since Harper and his party have repeatedly shown their vision of things is paramount regardless of the suggestions of others. They forget how small a percentage of Canadians actually marked their ballots in favour of the Conservatives. It is a majority created on riding after riding splitting votes in a multi-party system so they are far from the popular choice. They are however above such concerned with their arrogance showing.

And now the Canadian Grain Commission has been radically changed by the Conservatives, and they have done so in a way which limited debate on an issue farmers should have concerns about.

Canadian Grain Commission rules and responsibilities passed through the House of Commons agriculture committee recently but most people CALVIN would not have been aware of it.

The changes were included in the DANIELS huge budget bill C-45, and as a result ~ really got lost in the process of review, a situation one has to feel was by design. This federal government has never been particularly keen on listening to views not in lockstep with their own.

The proposed Grain Commission changes would lead to reduced inspection, an end to in-ward inspection of grain moving between inland terminals and export facilities and would see millions of dollars in new user fees passed on to farmers.

High grain prices might soften the impact of new user fees, but it is still picking the pocket of farmers who will

pay for services previously deemed appropriate for the large taxpayer base to bear.

The reduction of inspections is also a strange decision in that increasingly the consumer is demanding more and more effort to ensure food safety, and inspections by an agency such as the Grain Commission fit into that trend.

Of course inspection in agriculture appears to be generally seen as cumbersome by this government who has also tinkered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as it remolds agriculture in one reflective of the Conservative Party ideals.

In terms of consumer trust in a food system, and respect internationally in terms of grain exports, the Canadian system has worked well for Canadian farmers for years now.

Any system can of course use the occasional tweak to keep it current, but the Conservative Party moves are fundamentally changing the parametres under which agencies like the Canadian Grain Commission operate on behalf of farmers.

The Conservatives are fundamentally changing farming powered by their bulletproof majority, and farmers will need to adapt since the chance of tempering Harper's vision is a slim one.

Feds and grain industry collaborate to improve grain value chain Agriculture industry experts will work under a new mandate to continue their work on finding efficiencies and driving costs out of the entire value chain. The Crop Logistics Working Group’s (CLWG) second mandate will focus on improving the performance of the supply chain for all crops, with a focus on innovation, capacity,

and stakeholder collaboration.

“The economy remains a top priority and agriculture is playing a vital role as a driver of jobs and future growth,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “Along with a focus on innovation, markets, and competitiveness, our government knows that logistical efficiencies

can also strengthen the overall economy by ensuring that the agricultural sector can reap the rewards of a dynamic and growing global marketplace.”

The CLWG provides a venue for collaboration throughout the supply chain to help improve the efficiency in how grains move from farm to customer, whether

in Canada or around the globe. The CLWG will identify performance measurement gaps in grain industry supply chains and work to develop a grain logistics performance measurement framework. They will also have a mandate to find ways to build capacity and investigate how innovation can further strengthen the logis-

Using corn for cattle forage feed

BY BRYAN DOIG, PAG SASKATCHEWAN MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE

There has been a continued increase in the use of corn for forage (grazing and silage) production in Western Canada. The Census of Agriculture indicates that corn used for silage production in Saskatchewan has increased from 4,353acres in 2001 to 16,583 acres in 2006, and 26,786 acres in 2011. An increasing number of cattle producers are incorporating corn into their fall and winter grazing practices.

New forage varieties of corn have lower Corn Heat Unit (CHU) requirements, higher yields, lower fibre levels and increased levels of digestibility. The CHU indicates how many heat units are needed for the grain to reach maturity. Provincial CHU maps are available to help determine the average CHU ratings for various locations in Saskatchewan. Work done in Manitoba indicates that corn used for forage compared to grain production requires 200 less CHUs to reach 65 per cent moisture content (whole plant). This is the point where corn is usually cut for silage.

A review of several research papers indicates 60 per cent or more of the total dry matter contains the grain, cobs and husks. The balance of the dry matter comes from the leaves, stalks and tassels. When the moisture content in whole plant corn is about 65 per cent, the average Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN or energy) level is around 65 per cent. The Crude Protein content averages 8 per cent to 8.5 per cent. These values are 100 per cent Dry Matter (DM) basis. There will be variability in the energy and protein levels, depending on the year and many other factors. A feed analysis is always recommended to obtain accurate values prior to feeding or grazing.

A 1,400 pound cow, six months pregnant with outside air temperature of -10 C, requires a diet containing 62 per cent TDN and 8 per cent Crude Protein (100 per cent DM). In most situations, corn used for grazing meets or exceeds the energy and protein requirements for early and mid-winter conditions. Calcium levels tend to be low in whole plant corn. Use a 2:1 or 3:1 mineral containing salt to encourage ready intake.

When cut at 65 per cent moisture content, most of the cobs will have filled with grain. As cattle are turned out to graze the standing corn, many will focus their attention on consuming the cobs, ignoring the leaves and stalks. There have been reported cases of grain overload and free gas bloat.

To avoid those problems, producers have had good success using electric fencing to graze smaller areas of the field. Narrow alleys are created by pushing down corn plants with a front-end loader or a quad. A two-wire electric fence is placed in the middle of the open alley.

The alleys have to be wide enough so that corn plants knocked over during grazing do not fall on the charged wires.

Ideally, the paddocks should be sized to provide three days of grazing. The bulk of the corn stalks should be eaten before moving the cows to the next paddock.

Long term trials have shown that one acre of corn would provide 250 cow days of grazing (1,400 pound cows), 150 cows grazing for 60 days require 150 X 60 = 9,000 cow grazing days ÷ 250 cow grazing days per acre equals 36 acres of corn for grazing.

For more information on this, or other forage related topics, contact Bryan Doig, Regional Forage Specialist at (306) 446-7477 or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

tical value chain.

This renewed mandate for the CLWG is part of the Harper Government’s longterm strategy to strengthen and modernize the grain industry. The Harper Government has already removed the single desk and introduced reforms for the Canadian Grain Commission, and it will be tabling legislation to improve the

rail freight system. These changes will attract investment, encourage innovation, create value-added jobs, and build a stronger economy across the country. Growing Forward 2 will also continue to focus on modernizing the grain sector. The CLWG will continue to provide industry leadership on how to capture the opportunities that marketing freedom provides.

PAPHR board reviews progress on regional priorities

The Prince Parkland RHA board of directors had their first Visibility Wall Walk during the regular meeting held November 14, 2012 in Prince Albert. The Visibility Wall is a tool used in Lean management systems to monitor progress on an organization’s priorities.

At Prince Albert Parkland leadership meetings, the Region’s Senior Management team member responsible for a priority project report on their results. If the results are not on track to meet targets, the vice president must provide a corrective action plan, which outlines the steps he or she will take to get back on track. Prince Albert Parkland reports measures on the following priorities: Improving Acute Care Patient Flow by focusing on improving the patient flow in the emergency department, which also includes addressing the need to ensure patients can be admitted to an inpatient bed when required. Implement Medication Reconciliation (a patient safety best practice) on admission to Acute Care and on transfer/discharge in two Acute Care units. Elimination of workplace injuries, including a Safety Management System and focus on the areas with the highest injury rates. Build regional information technology infrastructure required to support and align with the provincial shared services strategy, which

will allow for improved access to required information systems for both clinical and non-clinical services. Improving Access to Primary Care services, with a particular focus on rural locations and access on day of choice. Enhancing First Line Managers Support by focusing on reducing non-essential work for managers and work with patients, families and staff members on enhanced safety and quality initiatives.

“The visibility wall supports the Saskatchewan healthcare management system being adopted across the entire province,” said Cecile Hunt, Chief Executive officer.

“You will be able see visibility walls in every region, the Cancer Agency, Health Quality Council and Ministry of Health. Every week, the Region’s leadership team reviews the visibility wall, focusing on areas where targets are not being met and respond to corrective action plans.”

Over time, all programs or units will establish visibility walls and wall walks. This will become part of daily visual management systems that will support health system and regional alignment. *** Other notes from the regular board meeting include: * The Health Region has an operating surplus of

$1,621,412 as of August 31, 2012. With required transfers to the capital account included the Region’s surplus decreases to $1,111,340. Taking into consideration cyclical expenses such as utilities, employee benefits, professional fees and vacation pay accruals, the Region is currently forecasting a year-end deficit of just over $1.8 million. Increasing sick time usage and workplace injuries are major factor in the deficit projection. The Region has developed corrective action to eliminate the projected deficit. * The Region is being provided funding by the Ministry of Health for a third full-time physician position in Spiritwood to meet primary health care needs. Once further details are available recruitment will commence in partnership with the community and surrounding area. * Saskatchewan Cancer Agency had two representatives make presentation on the efforts to enhance the Community Oncology Program of Saskatchewan and the rollout plans for the colorectal cancer screening programs (scheduled for early 2013 in Prince Albert Parkland).

The next Regional Health Authority meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 19, 2012 in the Upper Level meeting room, Parkland Ambulance, 555 13th Street East, Prince Albert. The meeting begins at 1 p.m.

RCMP look for help in missing persons case The Regina Police Service is repeating its request for information to assist in locating 30 year-old Tara Fawn Chartrand, of Regina, who has not been home since mid-September. Police are extending their appeal for information to include the communities of Yorkton and Broadview, SK; as well as Russell, Dauphin and Winnipeg, MB. Thirty year-old Tara Fawn Chartrand, , of Regina, was last seen leaving her home inthe 1100 block of Rae Street, on Sunday September 16th.

CHARTRAND is described as female, Aboriginal, 5’1” and about 107 lbs, with short, straight, brown hair and brown eyes.

Chartrand has a tribal art tattoo on her left arm, dolphins and earth tattoo on her upper torso, the letters “SGP” on her right wrist and“Elmo” on her right hand, a Cross and the word “Kenisha” on her right calf, a feather on her left elbow, theinitials “TC” on her left shoulder, and a heart on her left ankle. She also

had a circular scar on her left hand. Chartrand also sometimes goes by the last name of SHINGOOSE. At this time, there is no explanation for Chartrand extended absence. Because she has not had contact with her family or friends for weeks, her family and police are concerned for her well-being. Chartrand has family andpersonal connections in the communities of Yorkton and Broadview, Saskatchewan, as well as Russell,Dauphin and the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. For that reason, police are extending their appeal for information to these communities.

CAA Saskatchewan reminds drivers to stay sober

The season of holiday festivities will soon be here and CAA Saskatchewan is once again supporting SADD’s (Students Against Drinking & Driving) Red Ribbon Campaign as part of its efforts to help prevent impaired driving. CAA Saskatchewan distributes the ribbons, which symbolize opposition to drinking and driving, through its 12 offices across the province as well as the CAA Car Care Centres in Regina and Saskatoon.

The red ribbon can be placed on a vehicle aerial or mirror to serve as a visible reminder that fatalities and injuries caused by drinking and driving are preventable. In addition to the SADD red ribbons, CAA Saskatchewan offices also have complimentary copies of SMASHED,

A Sober Look at Drinking and Driving as well as Winter Driving Safety Tips from Transport Canada. Winter driving tips are also available at www.caask.ca/safety.

“CAA Saskatchewan is a safety advocate for motorists. That’s why we’re proud to assist SADD in its work to eliminate drinking and driving,” said Christine Niemczyk, Director of Corporate Communications with CAA Saskatchewan. “We encourage drivers to visit our locations and pick up their red ribbon to help support this worthwhile campaign. Most importantly, we urge everyone not to drink and drive. During the holiday season, please ensure you have a designated driver to get you home safely.”

Research shows that nearly 80 per cent of Canadians continue to be very concerned about drinking and driving. Statistics reveal that alcohol-related crashes account for about 28% of all motor vehicle fatalities (Traffic Injury Research Foundation, 2011).

According to Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) drinking and driving remains the number one contributing factor in fatal collisions in our province. In 2011, there were 1,284 alcohol-related collisions, resulting in 619 injuries and 52 deaths.

Please don’t drink and drive. Help keep our roads safe for everyone.

The 2013 Prairie Garden – Think Christmas!

BY SARA WILLIAMS

It’s like Christmas ahead-of-time when The Prairie Garden (www. prairiegarden.ca) arrives in my mailbox. And the 2013 edition is no exception. It marks the 74th edition of this annual publication devoted to gardening on the prairies. This year’s theme is one that’s close to my heart – Perennials!

This year the guest editor is Jane Reksten, manager of the Botanic Gardens of Olds College, Olds, Alberta. The enthusiasm that Jane Reksten brings to this edition is palpable: “I am fascinated by everything about perennials, including their history and the personalities with which they intertwine.”

Some of the articles focus on a particular genus such as phlox, perennial (cranesbill) geraniums, fleeceflowers, ornamental onions, peonies, veronica, gasplant and lilies.

Others discuss designing with perennials, using perennials in containers, the perennial trials at the Calgary Zoo, native perennials, ornamental grasses, early perennials, and raising perennials from seed.

As always, there are articles on general

gardening topics in addition to the main theme. Rick Durand, a well-known Manitoba plant breeder, discusses the “Future of Canadian Rose Breeding.” Barry Greig, horticulturist, explains the success of growing the elusive blue poppy (Meconopsis betonicifolia) at the Devonian Botanic Garden southeast of Edmonton. Chet Neufeld of the Native Plant Society of Saskatchewan has written an article describing “Native Plants for Problem Spots” ranging from hot and dry to shade to wet areas. There are articles on more tender plants such as Sprekelia, salvias, calla lilies and amaryllis.

In addition, you can find information about edibles such as strawberries, blueberries and perennial vegetables (asparagus, Egyptian walking onion, horse radish, Jerusalem artichoke and rhubarb). The gardener-turned-beer-brewer will be interested in an article about growing brewing hops which includes a description of both their culture and some of the newer cultivars.

The 2013 edition is 184 pages and in full

colour. As noted by permanent editor Richard Denesiuk, “The use of perennials is a long standing tradition on the Prairies, but the range of choices available today has never been greater.” Writers for this edition represent Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. A non-profit publication dedicated to the advancement of horticulture in the prairie provinces, the Prairie Garden is published by a volunteer committee of 15-20 members based in Winnipeg.

Think Christmas! This is a wonderful gift for gardeners on your list and one they will refer to for years to come. Copies are available at local bookstores and garden centres or directly from the Prairie Garden, P.O. Box 517, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 2J3; phone 204 489-3466, or by email: sales@theprairiegarden.ca. The cost is $13.95 with special quantity prices to horticultural societies and garden clubs. (Postage and handling are additional.)

A donation, long held in trust with a purpose in mind, has finally been presented.

The Shellbrook Business Improvement District (BID) presented a $10,000 cheque to the Shellbrook and Districts Health Services Project last week.

The $10,000 was earmarked for the purpose of beautifying the hospital grounds or facility nearly 10 years ago – shortly after project fund raising began but long before the official construction announcement was made for the new integrated health care facility.

According to BID President, Larry Brossart, the funds donated to the project come from all of the businesses in Shellbrook through the annual BID levy.

The levy, which replaced business license fees when the committee came into existence, funds the BID which has the mandate of beautifying the community to help maintain a positive business climate.

Through the years, funds from the bid have gone toward the manufacturing of the metal silhouettes that are fastened to the Main Street light standards, maintenance of the Highway 3 sign corridor and the planting and care of flower baskets along Main Street.

The Shellbrook and Districts Integrated Health Complex will feature 20 acute care beds, 34 long term care beds and a whole host of community based services, like mental health and home care.

The facility construction is jointly funded between the Provincial government and the users on an 80-20 basis with an estimated price tag of $26 million.

Province accelerates LEAN journey to improve healthcare Saskatchewan patients are seeing positive results as Lean implementation continues across the province. Close to 300 Lean projects are currently underway in the health system.

“As we move forward to improve quality, access, and efficiency in health care for patients, we continue to be guided by our commitment to putting the patient first in everything we do,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “As we continue our journey, we can be proud that Saskatchewan is the first province in Canada to apply Lean across its entire health care system.”

“I am enormously excited about the improvements that are being made as we engage patients, staff and physicians in making our care more patient- and family-centred, safer and more efficient,” Saskatoon Health Region President and CEO Maura Davies said. “The province’s investment in Lean is giving us training, new tools and improvement methods to transform our care and our workplaces.”

For example, three projects in Saskatoon have already achieved significant improvements in care: •Patients brought to St. Paul’s Hospital

by EMS ambulance are now transitioned to nurse care 67 per cent faster. This reduction from 37 minutes to 18 was accomplished through standard work, improved handover processes and more efficient use of space.

•Parents in labour now register directly in Labour and Delivery on the fourth floor of Royal University Hospital, rather than registering in the Emergency Department. This

reduces their walking distance by 85 per cent and removes one stop in their journey to receiving care and becoming parents.

•Payroll errors and employee time spent on payroll flow sheets were reduced in a project at the Irene and Leslie Dubé Centre for Mental Health. This saves taxpayer resources, allows staff to focus on value-added work and improves employee satisfaction through faster and more accurate pay.

As a result of Lean projects, other significant improvements are occurring across the province. For example, using Lean principles, the Five Hills Health Region has embarked on a design phase that will lead to the opening of a new innovative, patientcentred regional hospital in Moose Jaw. In Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region, patients and staff at Four Directions Community Health Centre in North Central Regina are starting to see the benefits of the Lean process. The centre has implemented a sameday appointment program and the number of patients attended to has risen by 56 per cent without an increase in staffing. In addition, by streamlining paperwork, waiting times were reduced, allowing staff to provide more personalized care to patients.

Health care providers, physicians, leaders and staff are now participating in focused quality improvement projects to ensure that Lean and continuous improvement are embedded in Saskatchewan’s health system.

More than 1,000 quality improvement projects will occur across the health system to improve patient experiences and reduce errors.

There are ways to honor our memories and still celebrate the life, although changed forever, that we are living today.

know Can I handle the responsibility of the family dinner, etc. or shall I ask someone else to do it? Do I want to talk about my loved one or not? Shall I stay here for the holidays or go to a completely different environment?

MAKE SOME CHANGES if they feel comfortable for you. Open presents Christmas Eve instead of Christmas morning. Vary the timing of gift giving. Have dinner at a different time or place. Let the children take over decorating the house, the tree, baking and food preparation, etc.

RE-EXAMINE YOUR PRIORITIES: Greeting Cards, Holicay Baking, Decorating, Putting up a tree, family dinner, etc. Do I really enjoy doing this? Is this a task that can be shared?

KEEP IN MIND THAT THE EXPERIENCE OF MANY BEREAVED PERSONS is that they do come to enjoy holidays again.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO HAVE FUN. Laughter and joy are not disrespectful.

Give yourself and your family members permission to celebrate and take pleasure in the holidays but respect each other’s differences. Often we aren’t at the same place as others with our grief and that’s OK. Above all, be flexible and gentle with yourself and have realistic expectations.

If you want things to be just as there were, you’ll be disappointed. Grief changes us but it doesn’t have to isolate us and keep us from celebrating and even enjoying the holidays. It is normal to feel overwhelmed and anxious this time of year, especially if we are grieving. Expect that there will be some very difficult and challenging moments but try to find the HOPE in what the new normal may look like.

Disappointing season still a success One week ago at this time the wounds for the Saskatchewan Roughriders were so raw that it was too hard to either look back or ahead.

The Green and White had just come 30 seconds away from an improbable run to the 2012 CFL West Final but a last-minute miracle by the Calgary Stampeders earned them a 36-30 playoff win over our Riders and finished their season at McMahon Stadium.

It was painful. It was right up there with the 2009 Grey Cup (the 13th man), the 1976 Grey Cup (Tony Gabriel), the 2004 West Final (the McCallum overtime miss) and, I'm told, the 1970 Western Division playoffs, but I wasn't around yet so I don't know what they're talking about. Either way, just add more heartache to the

ROD

PEDERSEN ~

Voice of The Riders pile with which we live here in the 306.

So now comes the question: was the 2012 Roughrider season a success? It would seem everyone has an opinion on this and they all count. Considering Saskatchewan

was the worst team in the CFL in 2011 at 5-13 and rebounded with an 8-10 record and a playoff berth in 2012, I'll say it WAS a success.

They improved a great deal.

There are many who agree including first-year Rider coach Corey Chamblin, Hall of Fame sportswriter Bob Hughes and Sportsnet CFL reporter Arash Madani.

However there are many who disagree including former Roughriders (and now CKRM analysts) Carm Carteri and Scott Schultz and maybe, just maybe, Roughrider General Manager Brendan Taman himself.

In speaking with Regina reporters at his year-end news conference, Taman labeled this past season as "frustrating", explaining that they didn't achieve their

goals. Those included a winning record, hosting a playoff game and even making it to the Grey Cup. It wasn't so long ago that was a regular occurrence with three Grey Cup appearances between 2007 and 2010. But this team hasn't gotten a sniff of the big dance for a couple seasons now and that's because the club was allowed to get old and out-of-date.

That run of success last decade was a magical time, almost like a dream, but it created two dilemmas: 1) the franchise got complacent and 2) the Rider Nation now won't stand for anything less than a championship.

The first problem has been recognized and dealt with while the second one may not even be a problem at all, but it's not realis-

tic. To demand your team finish on top year-in and year-out is as much ludicrous as it is impossible.

That would mean every fanbase of every team goes into the off-season discouraged. Who wants that?

Can we at least say the Roughriders are on the right track? No one can deny that and it's exciting because for Chamblin and Taman, it was their true first seasons on the job. How much will this team improve in 2013?

That, I'm afraid, is a million miles away but it's fun to dream about. And with the 2013 Grey Cup being played at Mosaic Stadium, there's a very realistic shot the Riders will be in it to defend their turf.

And that should be enough to send you into the off-season with a smile!

Huge trade excites Blue Jays fans A blockbuster trade in 1990 paved the way to a couple of World Series titles for the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans are hoping lightning strikes again in the wake of another major deal.

The Jays and Miami Marlins got together in midNovember and swapped 12 players. At its bare bones, here’s what happened: The Jays got the wheat; Miami got the chaff.

Blue Jays fans are ecstatic; Miami fans (what few of them are left) are ready to lynch owner Jeffrey Loria, who managed to pry millions of taxpayer dollars out of Florida government officials to build a fancy new stadium that opened in 2012.

Now, instead of a World Series banner flying over the Marlins’ stadium, it seems like a white flag is blowing in the breeze.

Overnight, the Jays became a contender with the acquisition of starting pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson, and shortstop Jose Reyes, a former National League batting champ. Toronto got rid of only one regular, shortstop Yunel Escobar (the guy who embarrassed the team late last season by writing a homophobic slur, in Spanish, on his eye-black).

The other jettisoned Jays are all promising prospects, but Toronto fans will be

quite happy to see them develop into big-league players in Florida if it means Buehrle, Johnson and Reyes lead the Jays to the playoffs.

The trade appeared to be so one-sided that Commissioner Bud Selig said he needed a couple of days to study it before giving approval, calling it a deal that might not be “in the best interests of baseball.”

It’s certainly in the best interests of the Blue Jays and their fans. Buehrle is an “innings-eater” who pitched a perfect game a couple of years back for the White Sox and was a 13-game winner with Miami in 2012.

Johnson was 8-14 last year after missing most of 2011 with a shoulder injury, but was regarded as one of the game’s best young pitchers in 2009 and 2010, when he went 15-5 and 11-6, winning the NL ERA title in 2010 with a 2.30 mark.

Johnson and Buehrle will join Ricky Romero and Brandon Morrow in a suddenly top-notch rotation.

With the likes of Jose Bautista, Brett Lawrie, freeagent signee Melky Cabrera, Colby Rasmus, Adam Lind and Edwin Encarnacion banging the ball, it could be an exciting year around Rogers Centre in 2013.

By the way, that trade back in 1990? Tony Fernandez and Fred McGriff were sent packing to San Diego in exchange for Roberto

OBITUARIES ~

MILLARD - Irene. Lillian Irene Warnock was born at Azor, near Reward, Saskatchewan on May 31, 1920 to William Watson and Lillian May Warnock. She grew up on the family farm, the fourth of six children.

She received her elementary school education at Deer Lodge School and took High School by correspondence.

She boarded in Unity and completed her Grade 12. She attended Normal School in Saskatoon in 1939-1940 and received her first teaching certificate. She soon found out that teaching was her passion. In January 1946 Irene came to Canwood to teach. On July 16, 1948 she married Alden Millard and moved to the farm in the Moose Valley district. She was a hard worker and a great cook, and before too long a devoted mother. A daughter and three sons made a hectic life, especially with occasional substitute teaching. In January 1961 she went back to teaching full time when a teacher was needed quickly and she continued to teach unit June 1979 when she retired. She loved teaching and was never happier than when she was in the classroom.

She was Principal of the Primary School for many years.

After retirement, and with more time on her hands, she became more active in the United Church and the UCW. Irene was editor of the Canwood History book, was a part of the steering committee for Whispering Pine Place, a member of the Clinic Board, and president of the Senior Citizens Club. She looked after the mini-golf for many years. Irene continued to enjoy knitting, crocheting, quilting, fabric painting and gardening. Grandchildren added a new dimension to her life and she was a wonderful babysitter. When Alden passed away in September, 2003, she remained in her own home in Canwood for the next two and a half years. In 2006, she moved into an apartment in Prince Albert to be closer to family members and she enjoyed her smaller accommodations and her frequent visits from her Canwood friends and her relatives. Irene moved into Herb Bassett Home in December 2010. She passed away peacefully on November 8, 2012 with her family at her bedside.

She is survived by her daughter Elva Borsa (Andy) of Carrot River, grandson Ryan Nowosad (Kari) of Nipawin, great grandchildren Ethan, Maci& Kali and grandson Aaron Nowosad (Danielle) of Saskatoon; her son Lyle (Irene), step grand-daughter Tracy (Joel) and Kelsey; her son Bill; her daughter-in-law Wenda Millard (Dwayne Crashley) of Oliver, B.C., granddaughter Alexis Alexander (Jeff) of Austin, Texas, granddaughter Chelsea Fernandez (Jorge) of Austin, Texas, granddaughter Brittany Millard (Leo VonBerg) of Calgary, great-granddaughter Vienna; her sisters-in-law Ethel Millard and Terri Millard; her brother-in-law Bruce May; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years Alden Millard; her son George; her brother George; her parents, William and Lillian Warnock; her parents-in-law Fay and Jeannie Millard; her brothers Lloyd, George, and Bill; her sisters Helen Davisson and Beth May; her brothersin-law Don Davisson, Cliff Millard, Pat Millard; and her sisters-in-law Gertrude Warnock, Norma Millard.

A Public Visitation was held on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 between 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM at the Canwood Community Hall with interment following at Canwood North Cemetery. A Celebration of Life was held on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 2:00 PM at the Canwood Community Hall officiated by Pastor Doug Schmirler.

Gordon Gunderson

GUNDERSON - On July 1, 1948, in Leoville, SK, Gordon Gary Gunderson was born, the 3rd of 12 children born to Roy and Mildred Gunderson.

Gordon attended school to grade 3 in Timberlost (known as The Block). The family then moved to town for a couple years before settling at the farm west of town. Gordon was a member of Big River Cadets and enjoyed his camp experience in Vernon, BC during one summer. Gordon furthered his education in Big River. Gordon married Gail Menard in January of 1969; they had 3 daughters: Tracey, Denise, & Melanie. After the birth of Denise, Gordon & Gail moved their little family to Pine Point, NWT where Gordon went to work at the mine. Melanie was born during their time in the North West Territories. In 1974, they returned to Big River and Gordon went to work driving log truck and gained experience with various construction and logging companies as well as assorted business ventures with friends and family, which included trucking, dry-walling, and sporting goods.

Gordon was sports oriented and loved playing hockey, broomball, fastball and slow pitch as well as coaching his daughters in ball and other sports teams. He was an extremely talented self taught carpenter and enjoyed his time spent building homes and assorted construction projects, no matter how minor or how challenging – he accepted any project put in front of him and was never satisfied with anything less than perfect.

In October 1977, Gordon began seasonal work with the Department of Highways which led to a life long career.

Gordon was a family man and worked hard to provide a good, stable and loving home for them.

In 1987 Gordon and Gail divorced. Gordon remained in Big River and continued working for the Department of Highways. On November 12, 1989, in Prince Albert, Derek Gordon was born to Gordon and Sherry. In 1990, Gordon and Sherry Gallant were married in Las Vegas, on his dad’s birthday, October 11. From 1997 to 2002 Gordon and Sherry spent numerous hours building their dream home. They loved spending every opportunity with their son. Gordon coached Derek throughout his years playing hockey and ball and a very special bond was formed.

Gordon worked hard and played hard. He was meticulous, organized, a perfectionist, a charmer, and won the hearts of everyone who knew him.

In the fall of 2009, Gordon and Sherry separated and in the fall of 2010 Gordon was fortunate enough to take an early retirement. He bought and moved into his house on Main Street. In March of 2011, Gordon became very ill and was diagnosed with sugar diabetes. During the last year and a half Gordon spent his time doing what he enjoyed most – he was his own boss; he was in charge of his own schedule and did what he wanted, when he wanted. His illness was a challenge for him but as with everything else in his life, he was accepting of the challenge and met it head on. On November 10, Gordon reunited with his dad, mom, sister (Darlene) and brothers (Bernard & Dwayne). We will miss him immensely but we know he is healthy and at peace.

Funeral Service was held Thursday, November 15th, 2012 ~ 1:00 pm from the Big River Community Hall.

He leaves to cherish his memories: His children: Tracey Gunderson (Dan Bailey), Denise Gunderson (Stewart Gervais), Melanie (Larry) Milford, Derek Gunderson (Stephanie Bogner); 6 grand-children (Justin, Kristjan, Erika, Weston, Danielle & Cohen), 2 step-grandchildren (Rylan& Matthew) and numerous nieces and nephews who adored and admired him.The mothers of his children, Sherry and Gail, his siblings, Earl &Cec, Grace and Bud Forbes, Doug & Debbie, Geraldine & Stan Millikin, Norman & Jenny, Brenda & Kenny McKay, Judy & Marlow Pister, Bev Lindskog& Kevin Huard, his sisters-in-law, Mary Ellen (Scott) Reed and Leslie Gunderson and many relatives and countless friends. Memorial donations in Gordon’s name may be made to Big River Minor Sports Association or Canadian Diabetes Association or Royal Canadian Legion”. Email condolences to www.beaulacfuneralhome.com will be forwarded to the family. Delores Beaulac of Beau “Lac” Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements.

Lorraine Gaudry GAUDRY - In loving memory of Lorraine Jean Gaudry who was born Sept. 1, 1943 in Shellbrook, Sk. and passed away on November 1, 2012 in Prince Albert, SK. at the age of 69 years.

She was born and raised in Shellbrook until she was 13 years old and then moved with her parents to the west coast and remained there until the early 80’s. Learning from her mother, Lorraine became a very competent cook and honed her skills in a family restaurant in Lac La Hache, BC. Later she moved back to Saskatchewan and opened a restaurant in Spiritwood, “Mom’s Café”, which soon became a favorite eating spot for travellers and locals alike. She married in 1963 to Mickey Campbell and then later married Bob Gaudry. Together they had three children, Doug, Ken and Brenda. She loved them unconditionally.

Michelle Higgins was like a daughter to Lorraine and they loved each other very much. Everyone who knew Lorraine became a precious friend. Along with her marvellous cooking skills, she was a passionate caregiver. She helped many people in Shellbrook, in Waskesui and in Arizona. When Lorraine’s own care needs arose many of her friends were involved, but most particularly her kids, Ken and Brenda were at the forefront as well as one of Lorraine’s special friends, Velma Ell. Lorraine left this world far too early but her memory will be cherished by; Her children, Douglas (Jaye) Gaudry of Burnaby, BC.,Kenneth Gaudry of Saskatoon, SK., Brenda Gaudry of Shellbrook, SK.,Her step-daughter, Michelle Higgins of Spiritwood, SK.,Her grandchildren;Joshua, Karissa, Tyson, Travis, Braden, Madison,The Father of her children;Robert Gaudry of The Pas , MB., Her brother,Howard (Shirley) Walrod of Kelowna, BC. Special friends;Velma Ell and Darlene Anhorn andnumerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Lorraine was predeceased by: Her parents, Orville and Ella Walrod,Her brothers, Kenneth and Cameron Walrod and her sister, Maxine Morton.

The Memorial Service was held at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Shellbrook, SK. on Friday, November 16, 2012 at 1 pm with Pastor Doug Schmirler as Officiant. The Sharing of Memories was done by Howard Walrod. The Special Music was Marlene Rumak and Brenda Gaudry. The Honorary Pallbearers were“All of Lorraine’s family and friends who knew and loved her”. The Urnbearers were Karissa Gaudry and Travis Schommer.

Lorraine’s Final Resting Place was in the Shellbrook Cemetery.

Beau”Lac” Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements.

Elks tops in FCHL The Shellbrook Elks are atop of the Fort Carlton Hockey League standings after adding another win to their tally Saturday night at home.

The Elks knocked off the Bruno T-Birds 8-6 in a battle of short benches. The Elks dressed 11 skaters to Bruno’s 12.

The first period was a back and forth battle with the TBirds drawing first blood. Justin Magnuson scored the first of his three goals on the night three minutes into the first. The Elks drew even on a goal from Lyndon Leard with 8 minutes left to go but Magnuson’s second goal four minutes later regained the lead for the T-Birds.

Chris Thompson tied the game for the Elks with 1:02 left in the first.

Magnuson opened the second period with a power play goal to give the T-Birds a 3-2 lead but the Elks soon found their rhythm during the second half of the period and took the lead and kept it.

Leigh Spencer, Josh Peterson, Leard and Ryan Gareau each scored through a four minute span to give the Elks a 6-3 lead.

The 2011-12 Beaver Lakes Champion Shellbrook Silvertips opened the 2012-13 season with a big win on home ice.

The defending league champions blew out Northwest Rebels 21-1 in their match-up Friday night.

Brendon Canaday and Nathaniel Martin lead the scoring with six points a piece.

A year has passed since I lost my wonderful mother.

I still wake up every morning thinking “I can’t believe you’re gone.” Loosing my parents has caused me a lot of pain and loneliness. My mom would call me everyday, sometimes

three or four times a day. No one cared for my new family as much as her. I don’t know if I am sad for my loss of a mother or my children’s loss of an amazing grandmother. Since my mom had MS and her mobility was weak she taught my 2 year old at the time to play and interact in a different way. Till this day she still wonders when grandma is coming back from the sky to play. (It breaks my heart!) Loosing a mother is like no other, she was the only one that I could tell every little feeling or secret to.

Whenever I was feeling sorry for myself, she would give me

the sympathy I was looking for. I miss her so much; I know she is free of all pain and suffering from MS, which gives me some comfort.

I still feel cheated in life for both my parents being taken away from me at a young age. I want to thank my family for all the comfort and support over the past year, without you I wouldn’t have made it through.

The memory of my mom will live on forever through me and me as a mother to my children. You are very missed by all. We love you so much.

- Your daughter, Dyan Nordquist
