PAPHR hopeful doctors on their way If all goes according to plan, by this time next year Shellbrook could have as many as six doctors practicing in the community, according the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region.

Four physicians have made site visits to the community and have accepted offers of employment to come and work in the community while a fifth is currently in Saskatoon taking part in the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA).

According to PAPHR Communications Officer Doug Dahl, the five physicians are at varying stages of readiness to come to Saskatchewan to practice.

“If all falls into place they could all be here in the next 9 to 12 months but it depends how things go with them,” said Dahl.

Dr. Imran Ibrihim, from the United Kingdom was the first of the group to make a site visit to the community last November and is likely the closest to setting up shop in Shellbrook. He is working his way through the immigration process and the region is hopeful he will be here sometime this fall. Because of his credentials, Dr. Ibrihim does not have to complete SIPPA upon his arrival.

If the physician currently working on the SIPPA assessment is successful, they could potentially be working in Shellbrook by December.

Some of these physicians have been recruited through the efforts of the Shellbrook and Districts Doctor Recruitment Committee and the PAPHR while others have been provided by the province’s physician recruitment agency, Saskdocs.

The Shellbrook Hospital has been without acute care services since July 2011 when three resident physicians left the community. The emergency department has been open Fridays at 6 p.m. until Monday at 8 a.m. since that time with the use of locum doctors and the lone resident physician, Dr. Anatole Nguegno.

Are you ready for some foosball?

The annual seniors game at the Debden Human Foosball Tournament and Street Festival Saturday afternoon proved to be a hotly contested matchup. The tournament drew eight teams with defending champions Noodle’s Nuts coming out on top. Pictures and story on page 19.

School’s back in at WP Sandin The student population dipped a little bit this year as W.P. Sandin Public High School opened its doors in Shellbrook.

Approximately 200 students were registered through the first week, just shy of last year’s number.

This school year started with a Gym Blast event organized through the Student Leadership Committee (SLC) where the four intramural team competed against each other and participated in other fun activities.

Principal Dawne Braaten said that the

event was a fun way to start the school year while also providing a team building experience for the participants.

The start of school also brought the start of extracurricular activities and school sports. After a week of practicing before school began, the Aardvarks football team kicked off their season with a 54-7 win over Birch HIlls September 6.

In addition to football, cross country and golf have also began while volleyball is set to start in the coming weeks.

Education week will be October 22 to 26

with events yet to be announced.

With the new school year also brought new staff to WP Sandin. Janelle Verbonac will be teaching Grade 6 after a maternity leave, while Trista Holz will be teaching Grade 7. The school also has a new Educational Associate in Stephanie Kennedy and a new Library Technician in Kristin Fischer.

Going forward, Braaten said that the school will continue to focus on mathematics and literacy, which is a Saskatchewan Rivers School Division directive.

Former Leask resident nominated for WCMA

The past year has been a whirlwind of excitement for former Leask area resident David Barber. He and his wife Kirby Green, collectively known as GB Roots, are nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for their debut album The Key. Last weekend they returned to their old hometown of Edmonton to back up CCMA male vocalist of the year Dean Brody at the halftime show of the CFL’s tilt between the Eskimos and Calgary Stampeders before playing a show as GB Roots at a local pub.

“It was funny, going from playing for 40,000 people and then the next night your playing for like 80 people in a pub some where.

That’s the great thing about playing music,” said Barber.

“To me it’s all fun, I enjoyed the pub gig just as much as I enjoyed the big gig.” Despite their young age -- Barber is 26 and Green is 24, the duo are seasoned stage veterans who have backed up performers like Michelle Wright, Jason McCoy and Carolyn Dawn Johnson.

With all of their stage experience, nerves don’t really factor into the equation.

“I used to get super nervous about going on stage but now, once you’re on there, it is the most comfortable you can ever really feel,” said Barber.

But that calm doesn’t come easily as both performers put countless hours into practicing for every opportunity they get. They both realize that every performance is like a living resume and the decision to hire is revisited every time they perform.

Barber began performing in front of crowds with his banjo at the age of 13 and has played guitar as a source of income since his first year of music school at Grant McEwan College when he was 19 while Green began freelancing as a bassist at around the same age.

After a few years of playing guitar, banjo and bass for other bands, Barber and Green decided to form their own band, write their own songs and record a demo.

The demo won them Rawlco Radio’s 10 for 20 grant

which allowed them to record a full length CD. According to Barber, the grant afforded them the freedom to play the music they wanted to play with no strings attached.

“It was cool that with this grant we could really do what we wanted to do, they didn’t say we needed to sound like this or that,” said Barber.

At the time, the couple were moving out west to Vancouver and made the connection with Bryan Adams’ Warehouse Studio.

Recording in the same studio as Metallica, AC/DC and Elton John would have normally been out of reach for these young artists but they were able to strike a deal during the facility’s down time and get the professional recording they wanted.

“The Key” was recorded over the winter and was released to itunes this spring.

The album is also available through their website www. gbroots.com.

Earlier this summer, the group was notified that it had been nominated for

In addition to the $5000.00 post-secondary scholarship, the winner will have the opportunity to implement their idea through a paid summer internship position at their local CF office. For more details on the competition, please visit www.businessstartshere.ca

Local girl joins national team A total of 36 4-H members of teams from Weyburn, Prince Albert, Whitewood, Saskatoon and Swift Current participated in this year’s Provincial 4-H Judging Competition August 10-11 at Swift Current. The eight top-place winners will form the Saskatchewan 4-H Judging team that advances to the Canadian National 4-H & Youth Judging Competition at the Canadian Western Agribition at Regina in November. This year’s team will include: - Megan Rosso, Old Wives 4-H Club - Katie Wright, Meskanaw-Ethelton 4-H Beef Club - Logan Martinson, Cymri 4-H Beef Club - Karen Cromartie, Canwood 4-H Multiple Club - Dane Oram, Ernfold 4-H Beef Club - Julia Pawlitza, Abbey-Lancer 4-H Beef Club - Lexie Girodat, Clairbank Multiple 4-H Club - Brianne Schmitt, Jordan River 4-H Beef Club In the event that one or more of the team members are unable to compete, alternate team members were chosen based on final placings. The alternates are Kyle Ashworth, Lomond 4-H Beef Club; Jamie Kinzie, Saskatoon 4-H Beef Club; Rosalynn Meyer, Ernfold 4-H Beef Club, and Shyla Rothwell, Wild Rose 4-H Beef Club.

While Green says that much of her song writing has some religious undertones the music itself doesn’t sound like traditional gospel.

“It doesn’t sound like worship music. You aren’t going

to sing our songs in church,” said Green.

She will be at the awards backing up fellow award nominee Tenille while Barber stays in Vancouver where the couple manages and teaches at a music school.

The NHL lockout blues By the time most of you read this the NHL will have likely locked out its players in hopes of forcing the hand of the NHL Players Association in their ongoing notreally-a-negotiation for a new collective bargaining agreement CBA. Knowing that the current agreement was set to expire September 15 and that the league had no intention of operating under the old CBA the teams began talking about a new agreement this summer.

What has always ticked me off about CBA talks with unions and employers is that they always seem to start at the 11th hour and end either at the nick of time or after the deadline. Of course this is a tactic played by both the employer and union to add a consequence to not complying with their demands. The union has the right to strike after the agreement expires while the employer can choose to lock BRAD out employees. Over the past few DUPUIS years it has been pretty common for employees in Canada's public ~ sector to talk about working withNews out a contract.

So I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that my hockey fix is likely coming to me from the local rink, at least for October and November, and that football is likely what I'm going to be following if I choose not to leave the house.

The NHL has no intention of signing a deal that isn't what they see as a drastic improvement on the old collective agreement. They have the biggest gun in this shootout and both sides know it. Both sides pitted in for the long haul in 2004, resulting in the loss of a season, but eventually the union blinked so that players would be back in the game for 2005. The league was rewarded for their efforts with a salary cap linked directly to league revenues. Unfortunately, the teams own general managers have since found ways to make the salary cap and contracts less manageable for their teams leading to the labour strife we see today.

During the lost year, many NHLers caught on with teams in Europe to earn paycheque and keep up their skills but with the 2005 season approaching many were itching to get back to the world's marquee league.

Though many said they'd never watch another NHL game after the lockout, league revenues have climbed by more than $1 billion per year since 2005. Again the league was rewarded for their efforts.

The reality here is that the league's teams can just put the breaks on operations, dropping down to a skeleton crew while relying on income from arena bookings to keep them from going too far in the red. Meanwhile, players can only go so long without wanting to play some meaningful hockey. These guys decided to become professional hockey players to win the Stanley Cup, not the Kontinental Hockey League Championship.

Hopefully I'm wrong but it would seem that we are going back down the same road of stupidity that cost fans a hockey season in 204-05. In the end it is the fans and employees of the teams, not the players and owners, that lose in a work stoppage simply because almost everybody finds a way to get paid or at least hits paydirt in the end. Everyone but the fans and event staff that is.

All in all, it would be better for everyone involved if each side just made their best pitch and then agree to meet in the middle. But we all know that won't happen before we lose part of another season.

VIEWPOINT www.shellbrookchronicle.com

Editor The Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association is asking the public to SLOW DOWN when travelling through a construction work zone. Our members continue to invest heavily in safety training, support, equipment and programs to keep their employees safe, but we need the travelling public to do their part too.

Transportation professionals working within the Orange Zone deserve your respect and attention. The Orange Zone is their workplace and they have a right to the same protection as professionals in any office or other workplace in the province.

Major investments have been made in building and repairing our highway and transportation system. Road construction work zones are not there to inconvenience you, but are necessary to improve the roads for everyone.

Every year we work to educate motorists about the importance of paying attention and obeying the signs in the Orange Zone. The public is reminded of several points when travelling through a work zone: 1) Be Alert: Expect anything to occur when entering a work zone.

2) Don’t speed: Note the posted speed limits in and around the work zones.

3) Don’t tailgate: Unexpected stops frequently occur in work zones.

4) Don’t change lanes in the work zone: The time saved just isn’t worth the chance.

5) Minimize distractions: Avoid changing the radio station and using your cell phone when driving in a work zone.

6) Expect the unexpected: Keep an eye out for workers and their equipment.

Safety for our employees means going home at the end of the day to family and loved ones.

Sincerely, Shantel Lipp President Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association

Fostering financial literacy To the editor: As a former high school teacher, the beginning of September always meant back-to-school.

For students, it’s a time for many new things at school. It can also be a time for new experiences: becoming more independent, going to a different school or moving out on their own.

Now, as a parent of two-grown children, I am looking at the back-to-school season differently, reflecting on what I might have done to help them better prepare for school.

I realize now that back-to-school is the perfect time to have a frank conversation with children about the importance of managing their personal finances, especially if they are moving out on their own for the first time.

Canwood Summer Youth program successful The Canwood Summer Youth Program had yet another successful summer. In this year’s program we had approximately 35 children in total registered. The weekly themes that the children participated in throughout the summer included Holiday Explosion, Superheroes in Action, Splish Splash, Nature Adventures, Silly Shenanigans, and the Summer Olympics. We also had a collaboration week with Vacation Bible School.

During Holiday Explosion week the children had fun celebrating five holidays in a week. The kids were engaged in various games and crafts that were based on the holidays of Christmas, St. Patricks’ Day, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day. For our Superheroes in Action week the students were able to take on the role of some of their favorite superheroes and villains. We had certain days that were dedicated to Batman versus Joker, Spiderman versus Green Goblin, and Superman versus Lex Luthor. In this week, the Summer Youth

Program also had the opportunity to tour the Shellbrook Police and Fire Stations as a part of our real life superheroes day.

The third week of SYP included the very popular Splish Splash water week. During this week the kids enjoyed playing a variety of water games, spent an afternoon on the giant slip n’ slide, had a water fight at Whispering Pine Place, and lastly made a trip to the Shellbrook Swimming Pool.

Next up, the kids enjoyed a number of outdoor activities during our Nature Adventures week. The kids took part in frog catching at WPP, a hunt for mint leaves, mini golfing, a wiener roast and an amazing race at the Canwood Regional Park.

During this week the kids also had the chance to go on a field trip to the Saskatoon Western Development Museum.

On the way to Saskatoon we made a quick stop to check out the Petrofka Orchard.

During Silly Shenanigans the children experienced dif-

ferent themes each day of this week. We started the week off with our Hawaiian Luau day. We also had a cowboy themed day where we went to Whispering Pine Place and put on a fashion show for the nursing home residents. The kids had an awesome time getting their costumes together and performing for the residents. Our other theme days consisted of Magnificent Magic and Pirates of the Caribbean.

For our final week of SYP the students took part in the Summer Olympics. We had an opening and closing ceremonies, played Olympic style games and had an emphasis on team work throughout the week. To end off our last day of SYP we went back to Whispering Pine Place to toast marshmallows with the residents and sing some camp songs for them.

The summer youth program would not be as successful as it is without help from the parents, the community, our sponsors, and the kids.

We hope to see you back next summer!

Loss of grant could be death of Saskatchewan horse racing You might wonder why horse racing would be part of an agricultural column.

Well it was not so long ago horse racing fell under the jurisdiction of provincial agriculture although that changed.

Racing, or at least thoroughbred and standardbred racing is now under the auspices of the Liquor and Gaming Authority.

The provincial government announced earlier this year that it would no longer provide grant funding to racing, and that could be the death knell for the sport in Saskatchewan. It was one of those seemingly wrong-minded decisions by the Brad Wall-led government.

There are times grants make limited sense because the money spent by the government sometimes seems lost, and benefits only the recipient and few others. A dollar of grant money to the horse race sector, at least to standardbreds here in Yorkton, (which I am most familiar with) flows through the local economy pretty quickly.

Purse money in a race might go to the horse owner, but they must pay drivers and trainers. The trainers turn around and pay grooms. The horse eats oats and hay which are often purchased from area farmers. The horses also need shoes and

harness and veterinary services and those too are purchased.

The owners and drivers and trainers all drive vehicles and that means gas sales, and food and a host of other things needed daily.

The government grant dollars pass through a lot of hands pretty quickly.

So the government stimulates a local economy, creates a tourism attribute, CALVIN and gives local people entertainment.

That seems like a pretty good package DANIELS of positives for the $320,000 which ~ came to racing in Yorkton in 2012.

When you think about what racing means locally it was encouraging to see fans rally with a good crowd at the final day of racing at Cornerstone Raceway in Yorkton for the season. The Yorkton Exhibition Association had been calling for a big crowd as a way to send a message to Wall and company people here want racing to continue.

Unfortunately some key local people who should have been

Safe storage of grain in Saskatchewan SHERRILYN PHELPS, REGIONAL CROPS SPECIALIST,

Storage of grain is the final step in the crop production season. Ensuring the grain remains in good shape during storage is highly dependent on four factors. The obvious is moisture content and temperature of the grain. Other factors such as condition and soundness of the grain, as well as amount of dockage in the sample should be also taken into consideration.

Because seed can be sold without penalty when it reaches the dry moisture content, this number is often assumed to represent long term safe storage moisture content. In reality it is a combination of moisture content and temperature that determines the potential for spoilage. Knowing how moisture and temperature affect the length of safe storage are crucial for making harvest and storage decisions. It should be stressed that the average moisture content throughout the grain bin does not determine how long grains can be stored.

Spoilage may occur at isolated locations in the bin where grain moisture is high.

Even though seed is binned with fairly uniform moisture, high moisture spots can develop by moisture migration.

Moisture build up usually happens in fall and early winter but it can also occur in spring or summer. Grain acts as an insulator and will hold temperatures for a fair amount of time if left undisturbed. Convection currents develop when the temperature of the grain is different than the temperature of the air outside the bin. The greater the temperature difference the stronger the convection current and the greater the risk of condensation on the grain and eventual spoilage.

In the fall and winter the outside temperature is colder than the grain. This causes cold air to flow down the surface of the grain and along the interior of the bin wall. At the bottom of the pile the cold air is drawn to the centre of the bin by an upward flow of warmer air. The upward flow is a convection created at the centre of the grain pile. As the cold is drawn up the pile, it warms up and flows up to the surface of the grain pile.

The warm air is cooled as it reaches the surface, condenses, and the cycle is repeated. The condensation that occurs at the top of the grain pile creates a high moisture zone that is then prone to spoilage or infestations.

In spring and summer the opposite can happen. The warmer air temperatures heat the outside of the bin. The warmer air moves along the surface of the bin to the top of the pile.

This creates a convection that then moves the cooler air down through the middle of the pile. Condensation can occur at the bottom of the pile as the air is cooled as it moves through the cooler grain. Therefore, in spring and summer spoilage at the bottom of the bin can occur.

In fall or winter, moving the grain during cold weather can help decrease the temperature in the bin and thereby lessen the development of convection currents. It also can eliminate the hot pockets that may have developed due to higher moisture pockets of grain. Generally whole seeds are less vulnerable to infestations than crushed or damaged seeds, or seed

with high levels of dockage. Seed may go into a bin at acceptable moisture and temperatures but over time may develop pockets of high moisture and temperature which can lead to insect activity. Infestations by insects or mites will reduce the safe storage time.

Turning or moving grain during the cold winter prevents pockets from developing and can kill grain storage insects depending on how low the grain temperature is lowered and for how long.

Dockage, which can consist of chaff, broken seeds, volunteer grain, weed seeds, broken pods, soil and even insects can be a problem for long term storage. Part of the reason is that dockage can have moisture levels three to four percent higher than that of the grain which can cause hot pockets in the bin. Dockage can also serve as a substrate for mould growth.

Therefore, making sure the grain sample is fairly clean also improves the storability of the grain.

Fungi (molds) are a major cause of spoilage in grain. Losses caused by fungi are related to a decrease in germination, discoloration of the seed, heating and mustiness, biochemical changes, possible production of toxins, and loss in dry matter.

All these changes may occur without the mold becoming visible to the naked eye.

There are two groups of mold that affect grain quality: field molds and storage molds. Field molds invade kernels while the grain is still in the field and they cause the discoloration of grains (particularly cereals) often observed in plants exposed to moist weather before harvest.

In addition to affecting grain appearance, field mold may cause a decrease in the germination of the grain seeds. Field mold damage is completed by the time the grain is harvested, and there is relatively little that a producer can do about it.

Once the grain is dried, these molds die or become inactive.

Storage molds are prevalent in storage facilities when the grain moisture content is too low for field molds (less than about 20%). Fungi, such as Aspergilus and Penicillium, are storage molds that are more prevalent when relative humidity is higher than 70 percent and temperatures are low. The two fungi differ in the minimum temperature requirements for activity. Aspergilus requires temperatures above eight degrees whereas Penicillium can be active down to minus two degrees Celsius.

For insects the optimum temperature for rapid growth is 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. Above 18 degrees Celsius most storage insects will complete their life cycle and multiply. Below 18 degrees Celsius activity is reduced and life cycles become incomplete which means there is no reproduction and the population levels remain constant. The critical temperatures at which organisms become inactive are eight degrees Celsius for insects, three degrees Celsius for mites, and minus two degrees Celsius for molds.

For more information on safe storage of grain please contact your Regional Crops Specialist or Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

out on the last day of racing to show their public support were not there. The list included the Mayor and Council. The City owns the barns and grandstand utilized by the racers, and as a group Council should see the positives of racing to Yorkton.

Ditto the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce which should understand the flow of money through local restaurants, hotels, gas stations and other businesses. But the president was not present, nor any visible representation. Tourism Yorkton also failed to have a visible presence.

Hopefully the City, Chamber and Tourism will be working behind the scenes in coming weeks to lobby the government to move to save racing. And hopefully in Regina and Saskatoon, home to the province's other active tracks local organizations put forward a more united front in the lobby to save horse racing. If they do not, and racing is dead, it will be a sad day in the province. Horse racing has been part of summers in Saskatchewan for decades and that heritage would be missed.

I for one would find empty barns at the Yorkton Exhibition Grounds a sad reminder of what the Wall government did in an attempt to save such a small amount of money it won't make a ripple in the overall provincial budget.

Descendants of the Pepper family gathered at Pike Lake Provincial Park.

Pepper Family Reunion well attended Fifty one decendants of Frank Sr. and Agnes Pepper gathered at Pike Lake Provincial Park on the weekend of August 24th for the 2012 Pepper Prolific Picnic. The last picnic was held in 1996 so it was terrific to gather four generations of Peppers, almost five generations, as Dora Fraser (Pepper daughter of Frank Sr. and Agnes) will be a great great grandma very soon! Although the sun never did come out, the

family members did not get shut down by the rain. Everyone was in great spirits and lots of laughs, hugs and memories were shared.

The picnic shelter was tarped up for a rain and wind shelter, the fire was successfully built with wet wood, and many blankets, jackets and boots were used to keep everyone dry, warm & comfortable. The food was plentiful and delicious

‘Moose on the loose’ targets moose collisions

Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) is once again teaming up with SGI, and now the Ministry of Environment, to launch the Moose on the Loose campaign to raise public awareness of wildlife collisions. Statistics from SGI suggest that the frequency of collisions with moose in Saskatchewan has increased by 66 per cent since 2008. Damage claims for collisions with moose alone exceeded $5.1 million in 2011.

“In an effort to bring more attention to this growing problem, the SWF is ramping up our annual public safety campaign,” said Darrell Crabbe, Executive Director, SWF. “Titled “MOOSE ON THE LOOSE”, this awareness campaign is in its 16th year and is designed to create additional awareness of wildlife crossing the highways.”

With financial support from SGI and the Ministry of Environment, the Federation is increasing the number of their highly visible highway billboards. In addition to the in-

crease in billboard space, the SWF will have public service announcements on radio and television, local signage on rural roads and informational restaurant placemats in select cafes, and at SWF banquets and dinner functions.

“Due to their dark brown to black colouring, moose are much more difficult to see in low light conditions. We strongly urge all motorists to slow down and stay alert to the possibility of encountering wildlife on our roads and highways with additional emphasis in those areas where wildlife signs are posted.” Crabbe added.

“SGI has sponsored this campaign since its inception, and it is especially vital now with such rapidly increasing moose populations, and collisions, across the province,” Minister Responsible for SGI Donna Harpauer said. “While SGI has been able to go back and manually track the number of moose collision claims for the past few years, we will now be

making changes in our system to specifically track this data, as it will help us and partners at the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation and the Ministries of Highways and Environment identify higher-risk areas of the province.” “ I commend the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation and SGI in their efforts to educate drivers about the dangers of moose collisions” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Supporting this campaign helps us address the growing public safety concern with the expanding moose population in southern Saskatchewan.”

The awareness campaign is scheduled to coincide with the moose rut, which takes place in mid-September and extends into October and November. Moose are much more mobile at that time and vehicle collisions are more frequent. Collisions with a moose often result in extensive damage to vehicles and could cause serious injuries and even fatalities.

SWF and SSGA urge hunters to ‘Stay on track’ Due to extremely dry conditions developing in several areas throughout our province and the potential risk of fires starting from vehicle use, the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) and the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association (SSGA) are requesting hunters to take extra precautions and not drive off roads and trails in the southwest part of the province and other high risk areas.

Continued from page 5 The Agency I lead, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), was established in 2001 to help Canadian consumers gain a better understanding of financial products and services such as credit cards, bank accounts, mortgages and investments. Since that time, FCAC has become a pioneer in creating clear, simple publications and easy-touse web tools that give consumers objective, reliable help when they make financial decisions.

The Government of Canada has given FCAC the mandate to foster financial literacy. The Agency continues to develop innovative resources for students and all Canadians to help them strengthen their knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions. They are available at itpaystoknow.gc.ca.

Our commitment to Canada’s youth is to give them the tools they need to increase their ability to understand, analyze and navigate the financial marketplace with confidence not only for the new school year, but also for the rest of their lives.

“We encourage all hunters to take extra precautions this hunting season with the increased risk of fires. These precautions include carrying a fire extinguisher in your vehicle, talking to landowners before going on land, avoiding unnecessary vehicle idling, walking when possible and staying on existing trails,” adds Chad MacPherson, General Manager of the SSGA.

“We know that the vast majority of hunters take every step to ensure that they leave nothing but footprints when they hunt.

However, the recent fires in Lethbridge and Swift Current are prime examples of how quickly dry conditions combined with high winds can result in uncontrolled wild fires,” says Darrell Crabbe Executive Director of the SWF.

From the desk of the Rec Director

BY: CASSIE BENDIG

I would like to send a big thank you to all of those who have participated in our fundraising events this summer.

We are attempting to raise money to renovate our broken toddler pool into a splash pad, so that not only kids over the height of 3 feet can enjoy being at the Shellbrook Swimming Pool. In May I had ordered a tot-dock for the pool and we finally have received it! So here is hoping for the summer of 2013 the pool is a fun place to be for all ages.

Another big thank-you to all of those people, who donated, volunteered or visited the Shellbrook Museum this summer. Traffic is what will entice our committee to keep this place of heritage open to the public and donations help to keep the facility open. If you would like to take part in helping with the Shellbrook Museum next summer, please contact myself.

Happy Hearts Childcare Center is having a BBQ and ga-

rage sale September 22 from 9am – 4pm at the Lutheran Church. They are looking for gently used children’s items to be donated. You can also participate in selling your own items and booking a table for only $40/ table. If you are interested in helping out the Childcare Center, please get a hold of Marliese at 747-5893.

Late hockey registration is a hot topic right now. If you have not yet signed up for hockey, and want to do so, please get a hold of Sheldon Moe and he will set you up.

The Rec Center will be open sooner than you think – October 9th is our tentative opening date. If you would like to book ice time, please contact myself.

The before and after school program is up and running.

We have many trials and tribulations to experience with a new program, thank you everyone who is supporting this program and thank you for everyone’s patience in our trials and errors. I am hoping this three month trial will be

September 14, 2012

successful. After this trial the recreation director position will not be involved. So if you do have inquiries to make, please go during the program hours (7:15am – 8:30am and 3:05pm – 6:30pm on school days) and speak with the program director.

She will help guide you in the correct direction to answer your questions.

Weekly Health Tip: Cold season is on its way back! Take the time to eat healthy, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep to help boost your immune system. The last thing anyone wants during this hectic month is a cold!

Have a great week!

RCMP Historical Case Unit searching Sask River The Saskatoon Historical Case Unit of the RCMP is currently undergoing an operation to search for missing persons believed to be in the North Saskatchewan River. There are 3 individuals believed to have gone missing in the North Saskatchewan River since 1981. Most recently the North Battleford RCMP have been involved in a case of a missing person whom they believe could be in the North Saskatchewan River. On August, 11, 2012 the North Battleford RCMP entered into a missing person investigation, as Bernice Carnahan vehicle was located abandoned near the river. The RCMP deployed the Police Dog Service which followed a

track leading to the North Saskatchewan River. The RCMP’s underwater recovery team was deployed but did not find her.

As part of a pro-active approach to locate missing persons, the Saskatoon Historical Case Unit has been searching river systems since ???. Over the next few days the RCMP will be flying over the North Saskatchewan river from North Battleford to Nipawin. They will be searching for Bernice Carnahan as well as others believed to be in the river.

In June, 2012 the Saskatoon Historical Case Unit with the assistance of the Canadian Armed Forces searched the South Saskatchewan river from Saskatoon to “the forks”.

The area known as “the forks” is a place where the North and South Saskatchewan rivers join into one. There are five individuals believed to be in the South Saskatchewan river and may have floated past the point of “the forks” towards Nipawin.

The RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance when near the river to keep an eye out for a body floating in the river so that it can be recovered. For the duration of this operation, the Historical Case Unit will be posting photo’s on their FaceBook page. These can be viewed on-line at RCMP “F” Division - Major Crime North - Historical Case Unit.

Finding your retirement planning tipping point According to Desjardins Financial Security’s 2012 Retirement survey, many Canadians remain in retirement planning limbo. The survey found that Canadians who lack confidence in financial institutions and advisors were more likely to feel that saving for retirement planning was confusing and difficult. They also tended to have lower incomes, fewer savings and were less likely to seek financial information in main-stream media. As a result,

they were more likely to feel that their own financial security is poor.

Based on these results, how would you rate your retirement planning confidence on a scale of one to five, if one was the lowest? Are you like the majority of survey respondents who find it very confusing? What would it take to overcome your fear and finally start investing in your future? Similar to starting a diet or quitting smoking, it usually takes a shock to your system to make critical behavioral changes. For example, maybe your parents or grand-parents have to keep working past their ideal retirement age because they didn’t save enough or suffered investment losses. They’re likely scared and feeling desperate. “That’s not going to be me,” you tell yourself even though you’re afraid it just might be.

Put your money where your emotion is Instead of hitting your financial rock-bottom, why not decide to put your money where your emotion is? You can set up a plain and simple saving plan that is so automatic, you won’t even notice you’re saving. One easy option to consider is to contribute to your employer-sponsored retirement savings or pension plan.

Aardvarks rout Birch Hills in football opener

Buddy Eikland of the Shellbrook Aardvarks tries to slide past a defender in Shellbrook’s 54-7 home win over Birch Hills Thursday afternoon.

The Shellbrook Aardvarks 6-man football team jumped out to a 1-0 record in their new division with a 54-7 win over Birch Hills September 6.

“They played very well. They had pretty good consistency,” said head coach Devon Thorpe.

With the game well in hand, Shellbrook was able to give some of their younger, less experienced players some extra playing time in the third and fourth quarter.

The Aardvarks moved to the 2A division of Conference 4 which also features teams from Meath Park, PACI, Rosthern, Wakaw and Aberdeen.

The switch is somewhat of a double edged sword as it comes with less travel this year but also means they have little to no experience with the teams in their conference.

The team met PACI at the beginning of last year’s season for an exhibition game and played Meath Park three years ago-- aside from that, they have no idea what to expect from the teams in their division.

“It will be a little bit new for us, we’ll have a little bit of a feeling out process,” said Thorpe.

Last year the team was in a division with Spiritwood, Wilkie, Biggar and Hafford. Some of the teams were relatively close while others, like Biggar, involved a 500 km round trip.

Though the Aardvarks had a good first showing, Thorpe said that he still sees room for improvement.

They were able to impose their will on a young Birch Hills team that is only in its second year but some errors with the ball could have been more costly for the Aardvarks against a more experienced team.

The team started practicing in the last week in August with about 17 players.

If anything, Thursday’s game was good advertising for the team. Since the game, Thorpe said that a number of potential players have come forward.

The team is currently in its bye week and faces off against Aberdeen on home turf Thursday September 20.

Former Shellbrook woman rides for cancer

BY COREEN SPENCER

Here it is, my final Ride update. It seems fitting that I would be writing this while it is raining, as that it what it did all weekend during the Enbridge Ride to Concuer Cancer, June 24 & 25.

That last week before the ride, I was checking the weather forecast several times a day every day hoping to see some change, but sadly the forecast was fairly accurate this time around. To add to that, the week before the ride, I started to get that “I’m getting a cold” feeling. You know the one, that ucky feeling in the back of your throat & your head feels a little fuzzy.

Determined to fight it off, I used my netti pot faithfully, extra dosed the vitamin C, drank honey lemon tea (I do not like tea), and even took Oregano oil several times a day. (That last one is an experience!) Friday, June 22, the evening before the ride, by the time we arrived in Calgary, my voice had pretty much disappeared & my head was feeling rather like a bowling ball.

David, being the Crew Captain for all the gear trucks needed to be at Spruce Meadows for meetings at 5pm. By then the rain had already started and I sat in the event tent thinking, “Well at least this year I have rain gear” and “man I feel crappy”. Then I would chastise myself and think, “You have a cold! A cold doesn’t hold a candle to cancer! Suck it up!”. That night we went for supper with some family and our friend Paul Prevost, who was part of the motorcycle crew called Bikers for Boobs. They do traffic control for all the cancer events across Alberta - all volunteer! While fun was poked at me around the table with my squeaky voice, no one else was daring enough to try that oregano oil straight up. (By the way, I do maintain that this is a useful remedy).

Saturday morning David needed to be back at Spruce Meadows for 5 AM to begin the organizing and loading of all the rider’s gear and getting those nine moving trucks safely to Chain Lakes and unloaded (one got stuck, and it took two others to pull it out!). Though I didn’t need to be at the grounds until after 7, it’s not like I could sleep anyway. I kept looking out the window and the heavy clouds. “It’s not raining, that’s good. Oh, it’s raining again, sigh....” I arrived at Spruce Meadows in the rain, dropped off my last donations, had breakfast and then began the wait until opening ceremonies. Thankful already for having cycling rain gear & having learned how to keep my feet warm in the wet last year. By having makeshift booties made with thermal blankets inside your shoes it keeps your feet warm even though they are wet, wet, wet!

I think opening ceremonies were shortened a bit so they could get all of the riders out and on the road, moving, instead of standing in the rain getting cold. After last year, I had vowed to take my time a little more this year and enjoy the amazing views. Well, with the dark heavy clouds, and rain covering my glasses, it was really more a tuck yourself in and just ride. Fortunate to have the experience of last years ride, I was prepared for the massive amount of riders and the jockeying of positions for the first several kilometers. I found a comfortable pace and early on made good time.

Before I knew it, I was at the first pit stop in Okotoks & amidst enthusiastic crowds and crew. Since it was still rain-

ing, I stopped long enough for a quick snack and drink and carried on. The next pit stop was High River and again, still raining, so another very quick stop and refuel and oiling up of my bike.

When you’re wet and yes, even a little sweaty, a short time standing in the rain cools you down to shivering very quickly. The third pit stop was in an old farm yard and it was lunch time. By now it had stopped raining, and I was debating taking off my rain pants as I was fairly warm.

By time I finished lunch, the sky seemed lighter, but I decided against taking off the extra gear, since then I’d still have to find a way to carry it.

Turned out to be a wise choice in the end. Many KMs later I saw the sign posted 90 K and I thought - woohoo only 23K to go. Well, the route had been altered from last year and we had also had a detour. What most of us did not know, was this had extended the route the first day from 113 KMs. to 123! In my desire to finished the first day, I neglected the last pit stop, thinking the camp will just be over that next hill, or the next one, or the next one. With half an hour left in my ride, the sky opened up and it poured! I put my head down and just pedaled, after all, what choice was there?

I got into a very wet camp and checked my time. I had made it in just 5 hours and 15 minutes.

Ok, now again, a reminder that this is not a race, but it felt good to accomplish that time. I found my tent - it was about as far away from the shower trucks and porta potties as it could be & sadly, there was already water in it. I settled my gear in the driest area and headed to the yoga tent. Some good old stretching & in a dry tent with several other people who were as dirty and disheveled as I helps to lift the spirits. From there I went and got a couple of thermal blankets & went to check on our increasingly wet tent.

I didn’t want to climb into my tent dirty and wet so headed to the main tent to sit and visit - which again with no voice, is very hard to do. It was a very long evening sitting under the tent watching the ever steady downpour, having to sploosh through mudways to get from the food tents to eating tents to washrooms - well, to anywhere. At about 8:30 I decided I should head to bed. It was essentially a waterbed by then. I found David who was fielding many problems encountered because of all the rain & we decided we would move our gear into one of the empty gear trucks & sleep there. Sitting in the back of that truck in the dark, alone, allowed me to have some private tears of frustrated exhaustion and thoughts of those I was riding for. My own private pity party. They moved the trucks so the water wouldn’t drain into the back, and we made our damp beds. Taking my shoes off after soaking in them for over 12 hours, crawling into a damp bed and coughing like crazy, I was pretty disheartened. I wondered if they might call the ride off, the conditions were so horrible. Between fits of sleep, we think the rain finally lifted around 3am. About 4:30 people began arriving at the trucks to drop off their sopping wet gear. Fortunately I had brought a second pair of shoes, so I got to start my day with dry feet for the first 10 minutes. - until I climbed down from the truck. By the time I waded through the

mud for breakfast and then collected my gear and bike, I was wet & mucky all over again.

Day 2 we rode in rain off and on all day again. I left the starting line into a very heavy drizzle.

I took the pit stop breaks in the same hurried way & since a voice was non-existent, it was very difficult to visit with anyone. I would make sure my bike was well oiled and continue on. At one point there was a stretch of highway that was flooding, 2 - 3 inches deep, so crew offered to load your bike and drive you across. Stubborn me was determined to ride through it. It was somewhat intimidating to watch this water rushing across and trying to keep my bike near the center of the road with my skinny little tires. I couldn’t help but give a rather enthusiastic cheer and fist pump when I got to the other side.

After the last pit stop and the final big hill climb before turning onto hwy 22X you feel great, knowing there’s just a little over 20K to go & somehow it just gets easier to pedal faster and harder.

That is especially true when all of a sudden there is a big clap of thunder and and flash of lightening that scares the dickens out of you. And you pedal that way until mother nature decides to take one more round at you. The last rainfall of my ride was the hardest & scariest! I am going down a hill in pouring rain, Water covering my glasses, with the water pooling in the grooves worn in the pavement and a guard rail to my right. You know that feeling when you’re traveling in your car through pooling water on the highway when it kind of tugs at you? That’s what I was afraid of. If I could have seen my fingers through my glasses and gloves, I know they would have been very white knuckled. And then a crazy thought went through my head. “Most accidents happen close to home”. I couldn’t help kind of laughing at myself, but reminding myself to stay very focussed. Coming through that adventure unscathed and so close to the finishing area was very emotional and I allowed a few tears - but when that business starts, it fogs up your glasses and you lose focus.

Finishing is bitter sweet. After months of training . . . fundraising . . . eating, sleeping, and breathing The Ride . . . it is over.

I said before I started The Ride this year, that this would be the last one for me, but here I am a short time later thinking, “maybe just one more time…”

So again, I thank all of you who have supported me through the journey this year. For your words of encouragement, your financial donations, your prayers and yes even your jokes on me. Thank you to those of you who I was honoured to ride for, and in honour of loved ones.

There is strength in numbers, and know that you are making a difference in all things that you do for others.

Many times you lifted my spirits and reminded me why I needed to ride The Ride. A special Thank You to David, my biggest supporter, who has been there through it all, constantly transporting my bike, responding to emergency roadside calls, and putting up with my obsession. He also worked tirelessly all weekend of The Ride itself, from before sun up, ‘til long after it had gone down, helping riders, and guiding the Gear Crew, all in the pouring rain and mud.

Collectively, 1854 riders raised more than $8 million.

One point or 52 really doesn't matter 52 points or one point, it doesn't matter to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. It probably doesn't matter much to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers either.

The Riders completed a sweep of the Bombers on Sunday with a nail-biting, gut-wrenching, cliffhanger of a game in Winnipeg which ended on a last-second 40-yard field goal by Rider kicker Sandro Deangelis. The Riders won the game 25-24 seven days after destroying their prairie rivals 52-0 on Labour Day in Regina. This game featured seven lead changes.

The fact is the Bombers were up 24-22 with 28 seconds to go and I wasn't sure rookie Rider quarterback Drew Willy could march his team down the field and give his team the chance to win. We'd seen Darian Durant do it many times

ROD PEDERSEN ~

Voice of The Riders before, but he was knocked out of this game with a hip injury.

No, I was starting to prepare for a long, blistering week back home if the Riders were to lose. They could have lost very easily, having taken double the amount of penal-

ties Winnipeg did and losing the turnover battle as well. But Willy had other ideas and so did Deangelis, the most-accurate field goal kicker in CFL history.

"I’ve been in a lot of big games with Sandro Deangelis and that’s why he’s here," Rider coach Corey Chamblin asserted after the game.

"I’ve been in the trenches with a lot of guys that are here and that’s why we have them. I believe in each and every guy."

It was a feeling from agony to elation in 28 quick seconds as the Riders raced down the field and ripped the win right out of the Bombers' hands. And now the agony resides in Winnipeg where the Bombers are 2-8 and thinking about next year. It's bad there right now. Real bad.

As for the Roughriders, it was a

jubilant plane ride home right after the game and the buzz was that this team's not content with their modest two game winning streak.

They want three in a row. Four in a row. And so on.

It starts for them next Sunday in Montreal, one of the few places the Riders won during their ill-fated 2011 season.

It's going to take a monster effort to beat the Alouettes and likely some luck too. Certainly the team has had its share in the month of September after suffering through a ridiculously long five-game losing streak in July and August.

Chamblin preached it then just like he is now; if they work hard and play honest, things will turn around.

"Good teams find ways to win. I told the guys before the game if you

want it, you can have it," Chamblin said on CKRM's postgame show.

"They fought to the end and we got it. I told them after the game I don’t know why you’re so happy, because I expected to win!"

Good Lord this season has been a ring-a-ding-dong-dandy. A thrill a minute. These Riders have made their fans laugh, cry, scream in anger but also in celebration.

They've had some breaks, but had them taken away as well. And there's still a very long ways to go beginning with Sunday's game in Montreal. But as far as the wins go, Corey Chamblin's Riders will take them however they come.

"We’ve had a lot of things stolen from us this year so it was nice to steal one like this."

(Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)

Breakthrough season for Baltimore Orioles Fans of the Toronto Blue Jays look to the Baltimore Orioles and say, “Why can’t we do that?”

The Orioles, whipping boys for at least the last 10 years in the American League East, are suddenly threatening to win baseball’s toughest division, sending a message to big-spending division rivals New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox that money might be able to buy you love, but it doesn’t always produce a championship baseball team.

The Orioles, about the only team the Blue Jays could regularly finish ahead of in the A.L. East, seem to have been living on a diet of Five-Month Energy drinks.

After posting a dismal 6993 record last year (and a standard 28 games behind the pennant-winning Yankees), the Orioles went into September this year neck and neck with the Yanks. On Sept. 9, the Birds were sitting a non-Baltimore-like 17 games above .500.

It’s not necessarily that manager of the year candidate Buck Showalter is smarter this year than he was in 2011. It’s just that a good crop of Oriole young players have matured together Outfielders Nick Markakis and Adam Jones, third baseman Mark Reynolds and first baseman Chris Davis are leading the offensive charge and are four of Baltimore’s seven players with double-digit home-run to-

tals. (The Jays, by comparison, have five.)

Barring a complete September collapse, the Orioles are almost assured of at least a wildcard playoff berth, making the postseason for the first time in 15 years. It could be the first of a few, because the Orioles’ future is brightened by the arrival next year of super-duper phenom pitcher Dylan Bundy, who’s 19 but is already receiving Stephen Strasburg-like comparisons.

Meanwhile, the Jays stumble along to a last-place finish, suffering through an injury-plagued season and hoping that perhaps 2013 will be the season they end their 21-year playoff drought. The Orioles have proven that worst to first is more than just an optimistic phrase.

Finish ripening your garden veggies indoors

BY JACKIE BANTLE

Growing vegetables in Saskatchewan is like running a relay race. The summer garden veggies (like zucchini and peas) lead for most of the race but in the final leg, Jack Frost pulls out in front leaving many of the slower fall veggies ‘in the dust’. Thank goodness that even though some of this long season garden produce didn’t to make it to the finish line before Jack arrived, there are ways to enjoy these fall veggies by ripening them indoors.

“Mature green” veggies are physiologically mature but have not had enough time to develop some of the characteristics of a completely mature veggie. But given the proper ripening environment, these veggies can continue mature off the plant.

Determining whether produce is mature green is not always easy. Mature green peppers will be firm and waxy looking and may have a slight red or yellow tinge to the skin.

Mature green tomatoes will often have lighter green shoulders or some pink or red streaks. Veggies that are not mature green will simply rot in storage. However, when faced with the choice between waiting to make sure my veggies are mature green or losing a lot of produce to low temperature damage, I always pick everything that’s sensitive, mature green or not, right before a frost warning. And then keep a close eye on them while they are ripening indoors.

Green bell peppers and tomatoes that are physiologically mature will turn red or yellow when left at room temperature (20°C). Ripening tomatoes prefer 90-95% humidity with good air movement. Storing tomatoes or peppers in a paper bag will speed up the ripening process. To slow the ripening process, decrease the temperature to 13-15°C but continue to provide good humidity and ventilation.

University students across Saskatchewan went back to school this week facing an average tuition fee increase of over 4 per cent.

“As a consequence of the provincial government’s budget, universities in Saskatchewan have been forced to offload costs onto students,” said Kent Peterson, a spokesperson for the Canadian Federation of Students – Saskatchewan Component (CFS-SK), “students are facing steep tuition fee increases despite a booming pro-

Winter squash (acorn, buttercup, hubbard, etc.) and pumpkins are long season crops that also may not be quite mature by the time fall frost arrives. Although vines will wilt and die as soon as temperatures fall below 0°C, mature green pumpkins and winter squash can withstand 3-4°C of frost. If a light frost (-1 to -2°C) is predicted, leave the fruit in the garden. If the fruit has a water-soaked appearance and feels soft after encountering a light frost, the fruit was not mature green and would have rotted in storage.

To finish the ripening process, fresh picked winter squash and green pumpkins (with hopes of turning orange) should be placed in a warm, dry location; in front of a south facing window or in a warm greenhouse. Recommended long term storage for winter squash and pumpkins is 10-15°C at 70% humidity (i.e. a cool damp basement with good air movement).

Corn requires a long, warm growing season. Corn plants will die as soon as temperatures dip below 0°C; however the cobs, protected in their husks, will sometimes withstand 1-2°C of frost. If the corn leaves are frozen but cobs aren’t, the roots are most likely still active. These same roots will continue to take up nutrients, including nitrogen. Since the leaves are no longer alive, the nitrogen is instead transferred to the cobs resulting in a build-up of nitrates in the corn cob.

Eating corn with an excessive amount of nitrates is not recommended. So be sure to pick those corn cobs the day after the corn stalks have frozen. Discard anything that isn’t ripe as corn will not mature off the plant.

Frost doesn’t have to end the gardening season. Brussels sprouts and parsnips taste better after a good frost. Cabbage can withstand several degrees of frost. Carrots can survive frost as long as the ground remains unfrozen. Underground

potato tubers will survive an overnight frost of -3°C; wait for the ground and air to warm up before harvesting them.

Final words: bring those mature green veggies and fruit inside the house to ripen: check often for rot and disease.

And following some of the tips from last week to cover closeto-the-ground vegetables to protect them from overnight low temperatures in order to take advantage of continuing warm days, you can delay the harvest for a little while at least. With a little extra help, fall veggies can still beat Jack Frost in the final garden lap.

Saskatchewan Patients to Benefit From Better Disease Identification and Prevention As part of the province’s ongoing commitment to timely, high-quality health services, Health Minister Dustin Duncan today announced the opening of a highly sophisticated level 3 containment laboratory at the Saskatchewan Disease Control Laboratory (SDCL).

“This new lab’s improved testing capability and faster intervention will allow us to do a broader range of testing in-province for a number of diseases - and will prove very significant in the event of a public health crisis such as SARS or another influenza pandemic,” Duncan said. “We can be proud of Saskatchewan’s position as a health care leader, where we strive to put the needs of patients first.”

“The level 3 lab provides a safe and secure environment for handling dangerous microbes such as tuberculosis, anthrax, tularemia, and pandemic influenza, as well as newly emerging diseases for which the cause may not be known,” SDCL Assistant Clinical Director Dr. Paul Levett said. “The opening of the level 3 lab is possible thanks to the sustained efforts of a large team, beginning with the design stage several years ago and leading to the certification by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency this summer.”

The addition of a level 3 laboratory broadens the scope of the SDCL’s existing services such as testing for and monitoring environmental specimens (such as well-water samples), food-bourne illnesses, communicable diseases and influenza. Neonatal screening programs are also provided by the laboratory, as are biosafety and biohazard spill response programs.

The SDCL is located at Innovation Place, adjacent to the University of Regina. The state-of-the-art facility opened in 2010.

Saskatchewan has had a provincial laboratory since 1905.

Energy Ministers agree to collaborate on priorities Federal, provincial and territorial energy and mines ministers agreed this week at their annual conference to pursue collective action to strengthen Canada’s position as a global energy and mining leader. The annual Energy and Mines Ministers’ Conference, co-chaired by the Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resources, and the Honourable Wesley Sheridan, Prince Edward Island’s Minister of Finance, Energy and Municipal Affairs, focused on actions needed to realize the economic potential of Canada’s energy and mining sectors.

The ministers emphasized the enormous importance natural resources play in Canada’s economy. In 2011, the natural resource sectors accounted for 15 percent of Canada’s nominal GDP and directly employed nearly 800,000 Canadians. An equal number of Canadians are employed through related sectors such as construction, technology, manufacturing and financial services. Major resource projects currently underway or planned over the next 10 years are estimated to represent some $650 billion in capital investments.

“Few countries in the world are bringing on energy and mining projects of this scale or at this pace - creating a truly

once-in-a-generation opportunity for Canadians,” Minister Oliver said. “But we cannot take these investments for granted. We must do more to diversify Canada’s access to global markets while ensuring world-class environmental protection, including strong pipeline and marine safety regimes.”

“Our discussions over the last two days have reinforced our collective desire to solidify our country’s reputation as a global leader when it comes to innovative and responsible approaches to energy,” said Minister Sheridan. “The federal, provincial and territorial governments are committed to working together to achieve that goal.”

In a roundtable discussion, the ministers agreed on the fundamental importance of capital, market growth and diversification for all of Canada’s energy resources. The ministers also recognized the related need for infrastructure to transport our resources to market and for innovation to reduce costs, improve environmental performance, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and create new global market opportunities. The ministers agreed on the need to work in partnership to advance Canada’s energy priorities while respecting each other’s jurisdiction and recogniz-

ing regional strength. They also recognized the significant progress made on regulatory reform and the opportunity to capitalize on measures in the Government of Canada’s plan for Responsible Resource Development to further reduce duplication.

To continue improving collaboration across governments on shared energy priorities, the ministers committed to further work in the areas of regulatory reform, labour markets, markets and international trade, energy efficiency and innovation.

The ministers also committed to strengthening outreach efforts to ensure Canadians that have the facts about these important issues, which impact Canada’s economy and our quality of life. Officials will report back to the ministers on the progress in these areas at the next annual Energy and Mines Ministers’ Conference, which will be hosted by the Government of the Northwest Territories in Yellowknife in August 2013.

In the absence of a Quebec Minister responsible for natural resources, Quebec is not taking a position on those issues.

Highway 4 twinning through Battleford completed Motorists travelling on Highway 4 will have a safer, more efficient journey with the completion of twinning 4 kilometres (km) through Battleford.

The new lanes were celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony today in Battleford by Battlefords MLA Herb Cox on behalf of Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris, Cut Knife-Turtleford MLA Larry Doke and Battleford Mayor Chris Odishaw.

“This is a significant investment for our local infrastructure and the people of Battleford,” Cox said. “A twinned

highway will provide increased capacity for traffic, the safe and efficient movement of people and goods, and the foundation for continued economic prosperity. The Province of Saskatchewan is pleased to partner with the Town of Battleford to make this investment.”

“This investment will assist local communities in harnessing the opportunities that stem from increased economic growth,” Doke said.

“Highway 4 is an important urban route for the people and businesses in our region.”

“This improved road infrastructure will better support current and future growth of our local economy, and commercial and residential development in the Battlefords, while creating a safer corridor for residents, visitors and industrial traffic,” Mayor Odishaw said.

The project cost is $11.6 million, with the province providing 75 per cent of the funding and the Town of Battleford providing 25 per cent, to twin Highway 4 through Battleford, south of Highway 16 to the Battle River Bridge. This highway accommodates upward of 7,100 vehicles per day.

Debden hosts 4th annual Human Foosball tourney It was a perfect day for Debden’s fourth Annual Human Foosball Tournament and Street Festival September 8.

Main Street Debden became a giant version of the popular pub game, thanks to a mechanization designed and built by community volunteers. The mass of metal poles covered in PVC piping with players strapped to them The event featured eight teams making a play for the title and in the end Noodle’s Nuts repeated as champions.

Mayor and committee member, Aline Hannon said the

event went smoothly despite the fact that it was delayed due to a scheduling conflict.

“We were quite happy. The weather sure cooperated,” said Hannon.

The tournament and festival usually takes place in the last weekend in June but organizers opted to move it to September to avoid a scheduling conflict. Hannon said that fewer teams registered and attendance dipped a bit, which she attributed to farmers being busy with harvest.

Next year’s event will return to an late June, early July time slot.

In addition to the foosball, there were plenty of activities for the kids with a pair of bouncy castles , visits from Dora the Explorer and Spiderman, as well as a balloon artist, sponsored by DL Towing.

Hannon attributes the event’s success to the community for supporting it, the sponsors and the volunteers who donate their time so freely to make sure the event happens.

University of Saskatchewan enrolment at record high As of the first day of classes, fall 2012 enrolment of undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Saskatchewan has increased 3.5 per cent over last year. This increase brings the total student population up to nearly 21,000 students—the most the institution has ever had.

“Given the increasingly competitive post-secondary market, we are encouraged that more students have decided to study at our university,” said Russell Isinger, U of S registrar. “This growth is a reflection of our world-class faculty, innovative programming and research, strong recruitment strategies and enhanced retention and support activities.”

All colleges are at or above last year’s enrolment levels.

The colleges of nursing, arts and science, engineering, agri-

culture and bioresources and graduate studies and research saw the highest growth this year.

Over the past four years, the province’s largest university has recruited more actively in Saskatchewan, Western Canada and internationally. The U of S recently completed a very successful year-long recruitment campaign in Alberta, which contributed to a 35 per cent increase in new students from Alberta. Students from Alberta coming to the U of S campus this fall are the first class to be accepted under the university’s new Alberta admissions policy. The policy admits Alberta curriculum students based on either their Grade 12 school-assigned marks or their final diploma exam mark—whichever works best for the student.

Call for proposals to end violence against women and girls On behalf of the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women, Randy Hoback, Member of Parliament for the federal riding of Prince Albert, announced the launch of a Call for Proposals for projects that will prevent and reduce violence against women and girls in Canada.

“Our government is taking concrete steps in the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls by helping communities address this important issue,” said Minister Ambrose. “By inviting proposals for projects that address violence against women and girls, we are working together to create safe communities for all.”

“I am pleased that the Government of Canada continues to demonstrate its support towards ending violence against women and girls,” said MP Hoback. “I encourage all interested organizations in our constituency to apply and help make a difference for girls and women who face various forms of violence.”

The Government of Canada will accept funding applications for the call for proposals, Working Together: Engaging communities to end violence against women and girls, in four thematic areas: 1. Preventing and reducing violence against women and girls in high-risk neighbourhoods (Deadline: October 12, 2012); 2. Engaging men and boys in ending violence against women and girls (Deadline: October 12, 2012); 3. Preventing and reducing violence against women and girls in the name of “honour” (Deadline: November 9, 2012); and 4. Preventing and reducing the trafficking of women and girls through community planning (Deadline: November 9, 2012).

Eligible organizations must address a number of predetermined criteria in their responses. For more information on this call for proposals, Working Together: Engaging communities to end violence against women and girls, please visit women.gc.ca.

The Government of Canada is committed to supporting projects that yield concrete results for women and girls in Canada while strengthening families, communities and the country. Through Status of Women Canada, the government’s support for community-based projects has nearly doubled since 2006-2007, increasing from $10.8 million to close to $19 million each year, its highest level ever.

For more information on Status of Women Canada and funding available through the Women’s Program, please visit women.gc.ca.

“The policy puts students who follow the Alberta curriculum on a level playing field with their Canadian counterparts,” said Alison Pickrell, director of enrolment services. “Alberta students are well prepared to succeed, and we will go to great lengths to support these high-achieving students.”

Students who follow other curriculums do not have mandatory Grade 12 final diploma exams, so many universities across Canada admit these students based 100 per cent on their in-class grades.

Official enrolment data, including specific undergraduate, graduate, Aboriginal, international and college enrolment numbers will be available in October.
