Coop begins Shellbrook bulk plant construction Site preparation for a new Coop bulk fuel station is entering its late stages near the junction of Highways 3 and 55, on the outskirts of Shellbrook. According to Shellbrook Coop Manager, Jeff Rothwell, the new facility, will provide vastly increased fuel capacity over the old site, which will be decommissioned sometime down the road. This increased capacity will allow the new Shellbrook facility to supply other Coop retailers, according to Rothwell. The new facility will also be set up for bottom loading of trucks, where the current facility is strictly top load. In addition to bulk fuel, the facility will also be a card lock location, which Rothwell says has many advantages over the current site. The current site has limited room for tractor trailers to pull into and does not have convenient highway access. The new site is visible from the highway and will have increased access for all sizes of vehciles, which Rothwell said may help the company draw in more highway traffic. “It will be a good addition to the community,” said Rothwell. As far as other possibilities for the site go, Rothwell said the company is still in the planning stage.
Site preparation for a new Shellbrook Coop bulk fuel station, just off of Highway 3, continued through this week. Federated Coop has been preparing the site, which will eventually replace the current bulk fuel site, for construction since last year.
Four dead following crash at Petrofka Bridge Four people are dead following a crash near the Petrofka Bridge south of Blaine Lake Saturday afternoon. Blaine Lake RCMP were called the scene at approximately 1:30 p.m. Saturday to a three vehicle collision on the north side of the bridge on Highway 12. The deceased have been identified as Curtis Lafond, 45, from the Mont Nebo area; Brittany Omani, 19,
from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation; Lillian Arcand, 81, from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and Amy Arcand, 21, from Mistawasis First Nation. Three others were injured and taken to Royal University Hospital, in Saskatoon, and treated for non-life threatening injuries. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the accident. Traffic flow was restricted to one lane well into the evening hours as an RCMP col-
lision reconstructionist was on the scene investigating the crash. According to Sgt. John Redlich, of the Blaine Lake RCMP, it will take a while to determine the cause of the accident as the matter is now with the Forensic Reconstructionists. Further details, including potential charges, will not be available until those reports and the autopsies have been completed.
MP Clarke hoping bill makes it through 2nd reading Northern Saskatchewan MP Rob Clarke is hoping his private members bill to repeal sections of the Indian Act will make it past second reading in the House of Commons this fall. Clarke, the MP for the Desnethe – Missinippi –Churchill riding, toured the constituency last week before returning to Ottawa for the start of the fall Parliamentary session. Through his travels he has met both opposition and praise for the work he is trying to do with the Indian Act. He’s just happy that there is some discussion beginning around the topic ahead of Bill C 428
coming up for second reading in October. “It is a hot topic right now because there are some First Nations saying lets get rid of the Indian Act and there’s others that want the status quo. What I’m trying to do is raise the level of debate and get First Nations leaders out there to talk about it with their membership,” said Clarke. With more than 600 First Nations across the country Clarke doesn’t count on a full endorsement from each but he is hoping a majority will be in favour of the proposed changes. Continued on page 2

Happy Hearts Childcare working toward spring construction
John McIvor
McIvor seeks re-election
John McIvor has announced he is running for School Trustee with the Sask. Rivers Public School Division in Subdivision 4. If elected it will be his second term on the board. McIvor retired from teaching in Shellbrook in 2008. He then taught at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary. He is currently working as a farm labourer in the Shellbrook area. McIvor believes his involvement in education, both past and present, as well as having served as a trustee for the past three years, gives him a sound understanding of education at all levels.
Fund raising and plans are moving forward for the Happy Hearts Daycare. The group began planning and fund raising in the spring after the announcement of provincial government funding for a 33 space childcare project. According parent board member Kirby Kulrich, the group’s fund raising goal is in the $250,000 range to help construct and furnish a 3,300 square foot facility. The Town of Shellbrook has donated the use of land adjacent to the Centennial Leisure Park to aide the project. Bueckert Home and Cottage Design has been contracted as the architect on the project. A concept plan for the facility has already been developed and the committee expects to have plans for the building to be completed by January. If enough funds are raised to complement the government’s initial capital grant, Kulrich said construction could begin as early as spring 2013. The government funded, non-profit daycare will receive direction from its parent board which will be responsible for hiring staff to manage and operate the facility. With a fund raising goal now in mind, the committee has launched their fund raising drive with a series of events and promotions. Saturday, the group will be hosting a burger barbecue and d community garage sale at St. John’s Lutheran Church Saturday while a community canvass and the sale of etched bricks have been launched and will be ongoing in the coming months. The brick sale campaign features two different sizes of bricks to provide a lasting legacy for potential donors. A
An example of a brick from the Happy Hearts Childcare centre brick sale campaign. large 8x8 inch brick goes for $150 while a smaller 4x8 inch goes for $75. All bricks purchased will be incorporated into the landscape of the facility upon its completion. The group also received its first donation from Woodland Pharmacy. The company will be recognized as a Platinum sponsor for the project for their $5,000 donation. To recognize those who have given to the cause the board has set up four levels of sponsorship for their wall of honour. Diamond, Platinum, Gold and Silver. The committee will be canvassing local businesses in search of donations for the project in the coming months. Saturday’s garage sale and burger barbecue runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the St. John’s Lutheran Church at 704 Adamson Road, in Shellbrook.
Bill C428 set for 2nd reading 12094DM02
Continued from page 1 Clarke’s aim for Bill C428 is to eliminate red tape for on reserve economic development and to eliminate some of the outdated sections of 136 year old act. “They are losing economic development opportunities because they are waiting for the minister’s office to respond and give them permission,” said Clarke. “One day we will open the doors for economic development and be more self dependent.”
The bill includes a process where every year the minister in charge will have to produce a report about what is taking place in terms of modernization or removing outdated sections of the act. Another proposed change would allow First Nations to make their own bylaws without having to have ministerial approval. Clarke said that the act has helped create its own industry with more than $700 million per year being spent on bureaucracy
and consultation. That, he said, is money that could be better spent. “I’d like to see it streamlined and see more accountability,” said Clarke. Through his tour he also visited municipal leaders to remind them of the details and deadlines of grant programs offered through the federal government like the Community Infrastructure Improvement Program or the New Horizons program which provides funding for programs for or led by seniors.

Few changes for Shellbrook Town Council There will be mostly familiar faces around the council table when the next Shellbrook Town Council is sworn in. Just enough candidates filed papers to run for mayor and council seats, meaning that for the second consecutive term no election was needed in Shellbrook. All but one councilor let their names stand for re-election this year. Long time councilor, Don Moe opted not to run for his seat which was taken by newcomer David Knight. As it stands, George Tomporowski will be mayor for a second consecutive term

Province looking east for health solutions The Saskatchewan Government and provincial health care stakeholders are getting a look at the East Coast remedy for rural emergency care this week. A delegation of health executives from Nova Scotia are working with the province to help establish Collaborative Emergency Centres (CEC) in rural areas of Saskatchewan. The model aims to make healthcare more efficient in using the human resources at hand. During the 12 hour day shift, physicians work with nurses and paramedics to provide emergency care. During the 12 hour night shift, nurses and paramedics respond to emergencies. If the ailment falls out of their BRAD scope of practice, an emergency DUPUIS room doctor at the nearest site councils them remotely on what ~ course of action to take. For News larger emergencies, the patient would be assessed and transported to the next emergency site. The reality is that it is no longer logical to expect that every rural site will have enough physicians to create an effective call schedule in order for a hospital or rural emergency centre to operate. Because of the shortage of physicians, Shellbrook Hospital's emergency department has been operating on weekends with the help of locum doctors. That is a reality the community could be facing for another year if everything goes well with the licensure and immigration of five doctors that have committed to coming to town to practice. That timeline could be longer if they run into immigration or licensing problems. Meanwhile, Big River and Spiritwood haven't had emergency or acute care services for years because they lack the number of doctors required to reopen their facilities in those capacities. This is an especially dangerous situation given the distance patients must travel from those communities, and surrounding areas, to receive emergency treatment. There simply aren't enough qualified doctors to go around to compliment every rural site – especially to run an efficient emergency department -- so a model like this one could be tailor made for rural Saskatchewan. This is not to say that there is an overabundance of nurses and paramedics but physician shortages are far more acute. Saskatchewan has a real opportunity to change the game with this type of training. Because Nova Scotia is already doing it, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. The province can take this knowledge and apply it to the rural Saskatchewan experience as a means to stretch emergency coverage across the province. From there they can take what works and take out what doesn't to truly tailor it to the Saskatchewan population.

VIEWPOINT
YOUR TWO CENTS ~ Out of town shouldn’t mean out of luck for rural mail carriers Dear Editor: Many might believe that Canada is an essentially urban country, with its population concentrated in the big cities. But at least one-fifth of Canadians live and work in rural and small town communities, and many more of us reside in suburbs and satellite towns. Where we live is part of who we are, but it also affects how we are treated and the services we can access. Those of us who live and work in rural areas do not always get the same respect as urban residents or workers, especially from Canada Post. On an average day everywhere in this country, more than 7000 rural and suburban mail carriers (RSMCs) are driving the equivalent of ten trips around the globe. 68% of them are women. They’re delivering mail to more than 4 million addresses across Canada, including 750,000 rural mailboxes. And they’re maintaining and fuelling their own vehicles to do it. They’re part of a vast network bringing goods and services to rural and suburban areas. And they’re doing it all for less than their urban counterparts. For many years, rural mail carriers were classified as independent contractors. In the past, people had to bid against their neighbors for rural routes — ending up with often less than minimum wage and no benefits. In 2003, following decades of organizing by the rural mail carriers, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) made an agreement with Canada Post to contract them in. The RSMCs became employees with rights and benefits and protections. Getting unionized has helped rural mail carriers, which, in turn, has contributed to the prosperity of their local communities. They have seen some decent wage increases and better job security as well as getting vehicle compensation and holidays. But in many ways, rural mail carriers still find themselves on the wrong side of the rural-urban divide. Their work is not recognized equally at Canada Post and they have a long way to go to achieve parity with urban mail carriers, even though they do the same work. That is why the CUPW is currently negotiating a new contract for rural mail carriers on the principles of equality, respect and progress. Rural mail carriers shouldn’t have to settle for less just because of where they live and work. Basic issues such as a fair hourly wage, company uniforms, an adequate route measurement system, and health and safety protections, among others, are on the negotiations table now. All workers should be able to expect fair and equal treatment. All workers deserve safe and healthy workplaces. Rural residents and businesses also deserve more from their public postal service. So, the next time you meet or speak with your rural mail carrier, let them know you support them. They are the heart of your community – take their issues to heart. Denis Lemelin National President Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

Report from the Legislature
One of the challenges of Saskatchewan’s historic growth is providing the supporting infrastructure as more and more families choose the Land of the Living Skies to live and work. The 2011 census showed that during the previous five years the number of children in Saskatchewan grew by more than 10,000. That is the second highest rate of growth among all provinces and a sharp reversal of a decrease between 2001-2006 of almost 20,000 kids. As children are our most valuable and treasured resource, the increase between 2006 and 2011 is great news, but it puts pressure on our education system. Thanks to the Saskatchewan Advantage created by your hard work, our government is able to address that challenge. In Saskatoon construction has begun on a new joint school project: the Willowgrove Elementary and Holy Family Elementary
school. This $39.8 million investment will provide one of the fastest growing parts of Saskatoon with a unique school model. The Willowgrove joint-use facility will give educational space for more than 1,000 SCOTT MOE students and early ~ learners ranging from Rosthern pre-kindergarten to Shellbrook Toll Free: grade eight.

Wall supportive of five year potash deal with Indonesian entities As part of a trade mission to Asia, Premier Brad Wall took part in a meeting which concluded with the signing of four five-year potash agreements between Canpotex and an Indonesian consortium of potash buyers. The Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) were signed Tuesday evening in Jakarta, Indonesia and will provide Indonesia with the potash supplies it will require in the future to meet its fast growing demand. “The people of our province are in the enviable position of owning 45 per cent of the world’s potash reserves,” Wall said. “As such, it is incumbent on us to
get to know our potash customers, understand their needs and interests, and build the bridges that help our industry grow in key international markets.” Indonesian imports of potash from Saskatchewan have risen by 85 per cent over the last five years. Indonesia uses Saskatchewan potash to grow crude palm oil, rice, maize and cash crops. “Indonesia is one of the most exciting, rapidly growing potash markets in the world and Canpotex is the largest supplier of potash to this important market,” Canpotex President and CEO Steven Dechka said. “It’s very helpful, therefore, to have Premier Wall visit In-

Local economies affected by Federal cuts to heritage programs If recent experience has taught me anything, it's not to expect much in terms of positive for Western Canada and agriculture to come from the Stephen Harper government. But when I heard recently about cuts from Harper's budget about to impact the Motherwell Homestead Historic Site at Abernathy, I was not particularly shocked, but I was very disappointed. The Motherwell Homestead will become a self-guided site in 2013 as a result of the impact from a $29.2 million budget cut to Parks Canada. One of the great things about the Motherwell site has been having staff in period costume to help take you beyond the surface of looking at a display to really understanding what you are viewing. It is one thing to see a horse drawn plow, and to read a little plaque about how it was done. It is decidedly more meaningful, and impactful to see a demonstration. That is where the Motherwell Homestead has shone, because it has offered agricultural programming that is meant
to depict a prairie homestead, and the homestead is not just the cornerstone of agriculture today, but frankly of the Prairie Region as it exists today. The site has had people on-site doing demonstrations with horse-drawn implements showing how the land was broken and worked. Go to the house, a beautiful heritage building filled with artifacts, but more CALVIN importantly there has been the smell of fresh bread made by staff. It gives DANIELS you a feeling of truly stepping back into ~ our collective past. For those unfamiliar with the site, it honours an important figure in agriculture. William R. Motherwell was the province’s first agriculture minister, a more significant portfolio in the era given the importance of farming at that time.
Check soil fertility for hay lands BY ALLAN FOSTER, REGIONAL FORAGE SPECIALIST
For the most part hay yields in the province have been good but in some cases, yields are lower than expected given the amount of rain we had this summer. The possible cause for these lower than expected yields may be low soil fertility levels. Hay production removes large amounts of nutrients from a field and if these nutrients are not replaced by either manure or commercial fertilizers, hay yields will decline. For example a two ton per acre alfalfa hay crop will remove about 116 pounds of nitrogen, 28 pounds of phosphorus, 120 pounds of potassium and 12 pounds of sulphur. Most of the nitrogen will be supplied by symbiotic nitrogen fixation but the rest of the nutrients will come from the soil. A one and one half ton per acre grass hay crop will remove about 51 pounds of nitrogen, 15 pounds of phosphorus, 64 pounds of potassium and 12 pounds of sulphur, all coming from the soil. The amount of nutrients removed by mixed stands of grass and alfalfa will fall between the amounts removed by pure stands, and will depend on the percentage of the grass or legume component. This is why fertility requirements for mixed stands generally suggest that if the stand contains less than 25 per cent legume, it should be managed as pure grass stand. If the legume component is greater than 75 per cent, these stands should be treated as legume stands. Over time deficiencies of the primary nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and potassium, will reduce hay yields, especially if these fields are used for long term hay production. Where hay stands are rotated with annual crop production, the nutrients released from organic matter, and the excess fertilizer used for the few years of annual crop production, can be captured by the subsequent forage crop and deficiencies are not as noticeable. The nutrients most often deficient for alfalfa are phosphorus and sulphur. Potassium is generally adequate in most soils but can be limiting on light textured gray soils. Poor responses of alfalfa to one time low application rates of phosphorus may be due to phosphorus being tied up in the soil near the surface and not readily available to the crop. Grass hay crops will almost always respond to nitrogen fertilizer with phosphorus often being the next limiting nutrient. The determining factors for the size of the response to nitrogen are spring and summer rainfall and the amount of nitrogen that actually enters the soil. Poor responses to broadcast urea can often be attributed to lose to the atmosphere when weather conditions are warm and dry after spreading. Some nitrogen fertilizer is important to gain the full yield benefit of the grass component of a mixed stand. However, too much nitrogen will over stimulate grass production at the expense of the legumes. Nitrogen fixation activity in the legume will also be decreased.
Generally, the first sign of nutrient deficiency in a hay stand is lower than expected production from plants that appear stunted and spindly. Taking a soil test this fall is the quickest method of determining the nutrient status of the soil and whether or not a nutrient deficiency is the problem.

Motherwell would later become federal minister in the Liberal government of prime minister William Lyon MacKenzie King. Homesteaded near Abernethy in 1882 the Motherwell farm site was designated a national historic site in 1966. The man, and our homesteading past deserve to be remembered, and that is best achieved by having qualified staff to help you understand what you are seeing. Sadly our history apparently isn't a particular priority for the federal Conservatives, and the Parks cuts will mean the loss of five staff at Motherwell. And in terms of Saskatchewan five more staff are being lost at the Grasslands National Park at Val Marie, which at a time when we have growing interest in protecting natural ecosystems, the cuts again makes little sense. Cuts to heritage programming make no sense when you factor in their importance to local economies, tourism, and the education of a new generation. Too bad Harper and his Cabinet couldn't see that from Ottawa.

New health care model to benefit rural Sask
Saskatchewan health system and community leaders are gathering information about a new model of care that improves patient access to health care services in rural and remote communities, with the goal of implementing it in the province. A Knowledge Exchange Day today in Regina is exploring the benefits of Collaborative Emergency Centres (CECs), a Nova Scotia health care innovation that Saskatchewan is exploring. These centres help stabilize and improve access to primary health care and emergency services. A Nova Scotia delegation is sharing advice and its experiences developing CECs with regional health authority representatives, health care providers, health sector professional organizations, unions, and municipal and community stakeholders from across Saskatchewan. The meeting will explore the CEC model from various perspectives, talk about the key success factors and identify the next steps for establishing CECs in Saskatchewan. “We are committed to putting patients first,” Rural and
Remote Health Minister Randy Weekes said. “Improving access to health care in rural Saskatchewan is a priority for our government. We see the Nova Scotia model as an innovative way of meeting the needs of rural and remote communities by integrating primary and emergency health care.” In Nova Scotia, CECs are typically open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During the day, the centres offer access to primary health care by a team of professionals, including physicians and nurses. At night, the care is handled by a team that includes a registered nurse and a paramedic, with physician oversight. The centres offer a number of benefits including increased access to services, reduced wait times, same or next day appointments and a team-based approach that offers continuity of care. The model aligns with Saskatchewan’s recently announced initiative to strengthen primary health care. The Ministry of Health is now working with health regions and communities to determine critical factors for success and criteria around resources and identify locations for potential sites.
Province reluctantly signs new ag funding deal Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart joined Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and his colleagues from across Canada to sign the Growing Forward 2 multilateral framework agreement. The new agreement includes a 50 per cent increase in funding for strategic initiatives such as research, water infrastructure and market development. In Saskatchewan this will mean $46 million per year from the federal government verses $30 million per year over the past five years. While all business risk management programs such as AgriStability, AgriInvest, Crop Insurance and AgriRecovery will remain in place, there will be reductions to both AgriStability and AgriInvest. “The decision to sign the agreement did not come easy as we had opposed changes to AgriInvest after consulting extensively with our stakeholders,” Stewart said. “However, we are pleased funding for Crop Insurance remains unchanged and the increased investment in strategic initiatives such as research and water infrastructure will benefit our farmers and ranchers.”

Nova Scotia has successfully implemented the CEC model in communities which have had difficulty maintaining 24-7 emergency services. “Collaborative Emergency Centres are an innovative health care model that is working in Nova Scotia and we are pleased to share our experiences with the Province of Saskatchewan,” Nova Scotia Health and Wellness Minister David Wilson said. “By bringing emergency departments and local family practices together to work as a team, we are delivering better care sooner to Nova Scotians. Patients served by CECs are able to see a nurse practitioner or physician either the same day or the next day, seven days a week.” The Nova Scotia model was endorsed in the first report of the Council of the Federation’s Health Care Innovation Working Group, co-chaired by Premier Brad Wall and PEI Premier Robert Ghiz.

Curtis Dagenais appeal to be heard
The new agreement will reduce the trigger for AgriStability coverage from 85 to 70 per cent of a producer’s reference margin. Matching government contributions under AgriInvest will be reduced from 1.5 to 1 per cent of producers’ allowable net sales. However, limits on the funds producers can contribute and hold in their AgriInvest accounts will be increased substantially. The new agreement would have passed without Saskatchewan’s support because enough of the other provinces supported it. By signing this agreement Saskatchewan can now enter into negotiations with the federal government on specific strategic initiatives. “Our producers have told us that research and innovation is critical as we work to grow our industry,” Stewart said. “The increase in funding for research, as well as for business development, irrigation and other areas, will play a big role as we work to grow our industry and province. We look forward to consulting with our producers and industry on these strategic initiatives in the coming months.”

Whether you are 26 or 62, when it comes to making healthy lifestyle choices – it’s never too late. If you focus on making small, sustainable changes, those choices will soon start to add up and before you know it, goals that once seemed overwhelming now feel much more attainable. Take a look at four important areas to concentrate on for overall good health: Sleep – Getting a solid amount of shut-eye is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, leaving us more alert, energetic and better able to function. The National Sleep Foundation suggests seven to nine hours a night. To get started, try turning out the lights a half-hour earlier every night. Exercise – Physical activity plays an important role in keeping our bodies healthy and functioning properly. Use everyday activities to add more movement into your life Put on your favourite song and dance along while you do housework. Stress – Continuous stress without relief can lead to physical symptoms like headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. To combat these symptoms, try meditation - all it takes is a calm mind and some deep breathing. Diet – A healthy diet is not about deprivation. Rather, it is about increasing energy, stabilizing mood, and keeping you as healthy as possible. Opt for a piece of fresh fruit and some nuts for your afternoon snack to keep you full and energized. For those days when time is tight, try stocking up on healthy, frozen options for a quick meal. By making one small change in each category you will soon see that one healthy choice leads to another. You can join The Healthy Choice Pledge online at Facebook.com/ HealthyChoiceCanada to get more ideas.

RCMP warn of telephone scam Saskatchewan RCMP have received complaints of fraudulent telephone calls to residences all over the Battlefords. The caller states that you have won a prize for a previous subscription with Readers Digest. The caller is very persuasive and calls back numerous times to try and convince you that this is legitimate. If you continue to resist the caller, they will have someone call who claims to be from a Canadian Government Department and will attempt to legitimize the original caller. On numerous occasions the second caller claims to be from the Canada Revenue Service and explains how you will need to pay taxes on your winnings. The number has been showing up on call display as 1-877867-9967. These crimes focus on the elderly, however we all need to be vigilant. There are a few things you can do to check and verify fraudulent telephone calls: - keep track of contests, draws and lotteries you enter - challenge a caller who says you’ve won a prize to tell you where and when you entered. - remember: there are no prize fees or taxes in Canada. This is important Canadians do not need to pay

Health insurance helps keep focus on cure, not cost According to a recent Desjardins Financial Security (DFS) health survey, Canadians are more afraid of cancer than any other critical illness. The results showed that Canadians are adopting healthier lifestyles and close to two-thirds of respondents were confident they would survive a critical illness. However, almost three-quarters of Canadians would not be financially prepared if they were struck with a serious illness. They also stated that they doubted that the health care system would be able cover their entire medical costs. In fact, sixty-seven per cent said that a serious illness — like cancer — would make them financially vulnerable. For example, the Canadian Breast Cancer Network examined the economic impact of breast cancer and labour force re-entry after remission and found that 80% of respondents had suffered financially. The average was a reduction in family income of $12,000. “While the diagnosis and the treatment can take a terrible toll, the financial toll can also be devastating,” said Reh Bhanji, an insurance expert at DFS. “This is why it’s important to have a financial plan in place to protect yourself and your family.” Finding the right protection While it can be scary to think about a serious illness diagnosis like cancer, it’s scarier to think about being financially vulnerable. So here are a couple insurance suggestions to consider while you are in good health. Long-term care insurance: • It protects the insured and their family from financial hardship due to unforeseen medical and/or living expenses related to the loss of independence as a result of a critical illness. This is determined if the person is unable to eat, dress, move, use the toilet or bathe independently. • Pays a tax-free monthly benefit usually upon receiving a diagnosis • Can be used to pay for any type of service that you choose. There’s no need to submit receipts or wait for approval: - Expert medical advice - The ability to live at home with in-home and/or respite care - Assisted living and long-term care facilities - Senior day-care • Anyone between the ages of 18 and 80 can apply. Premium costs are determined by age, health, and the type of policy that you select. Some policies are set up with 20-year or lifetime periods. Critical Illness Insurance: • This coverage pays a benefit from $25,000 to $2,000,000 to insureds when they are first diagnosed with cancer or 24 other critical illnesses • It’s a basic coverage that is easy to understand, affordable and ideal for most people • It’s ideal for people under 60, especially those between 25 and 50 • It also provides confidential assistance services and help in finding suitable resources during convalescence • If there haven’t been any claims by the time the policy matures, the insured can receive a full refund of their premiums tax free For help in choosing the right insurance for you, speak to your financial advisor.

taxes on any winnings despite the fact they were from out of Country or not. - tell them you will need to check this out with the RCMP or your local police. If this is legitimate, there should be no problem. The fraudsters will insist you keep this quiet for your own safety, so speaking with the police should not be an issue. - If you have call display and a number shows up, tell them you need to check it on 411. You can run the number in any search engine and see what is associated to it. - Take your time. Find out who the company or person is and check into their claims. If you win something there should not be any rush, time is on your side, and if you are getting lots of pressure to do something, that is a warning sign. Companies want people to know about contest winners. Remember that these people will spend a great deal of time with you and are very believable. They are smooth talkers and will bring in others to offer credibility to their story. As always, if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

It’s time to plant: Tulips
Darwyn Pink Impression tulips. Steve Cyr Photo BY SARA WILLIAMS
Nothing is more enticing in September than garden centre shelves full of plump tulip bulbs with their implied promise of spring bloom. They add spring colour to a perennial or mixed border and are often used in annual beds. The genus name, Tulipa, is from the Turkish tulbend, meaning turban, a reference to the flower form. Native to the Near East, they were cul¬tivated and hybridized in Turkish gardens for centuries prior to their introduction to Holland and the garden of Carolus Clusius, a professor of botany at the University of Leiden by 1593. They were stolen from his garden and soon became very popular, appearing in gardens all over Holland. By the 1630s, “Tulipmania” was in full force in Holland. Amid much specula¬tion, enormous prices were paid for a single bulb, many with unusual striping or mottling. Unfortunately, these bulbs were not long lived and many fortunes were lost. It was later discov¬ered that both the unusual colouring and early demise of these bulbs were due to a virus. The harsh reality is that many tulip species and selections are not reliably hardy on the prairies. Some will come through their first spring and then fail to appear in subsequent years.
Others may not appear at all. Of the approximately five thousand tulip varieties avail¬able, the divisions, species and cultivars listed below are among your best bets for reliable spring colour on the prairies. They combine drought tolerance, hardiness and a more peren¬nial habit than most. Tulips do best in full sun and good drainage. Purchase them as soon as they become available in the fall and plant them immediately. Rule of thumb for planting bulbs: dig a hole 2 to 3 times as deep as the bulb is tall. Add bonemeal (source of phosphorous and nitrogen) to the bottom of the hole to encourage strong rooting. Water well, mulch and hope for an early and continuous snow cover – their best insulation! Darwin hybrids are derived from crosses of single late tulips and what were once known as Darwin and Cottage tulips with Tulipa fosteriana and other botanical species. Darwin hybrids are tall plants with single flowers of good size and colour on sturdy stems. ‘Appeldoorn’ – red with persimmon orange edges and interior, 55 cm (22 in.). ‘Beauty of Apeldoorn’ – yellow washed with orange, 50 cm (20 in.). ‘Golden Appeldoorn’ – golden yellow, 55 cm (22 in.). ‘Golden Oxford’ – golden yellow, black interior base, 55 cm (22 in.). ‘Oxford’ – scarlet flushed with red, 55 cm (22 in.). ‘Parade’ – red, large black interior base edged with yellow, 45 cm (18 in.). ‘Pink Impression’ (‘Spring Pearl’) – large pink-rose flower, 55 cm (22 in.). From central Asia, the T. fosteriana hybrids have large flowers with wide petals and shiny foliage on stems 30 to 60 cm (12–24 in.) in height. All are early flowering. They are hybrids of T. fosteriana and T. greigii or T. kaufmanniana. ‘Orange Emperor’ – large, dark orange, early, 45 cm (18 in.). ‘Pink Emperor’ – pink with pearl sheen, 35 cm (14 in.). ‘Red Emperor’ (‘Madam Lefeber’) – red with black centre, 40 cm (16 in.). ‘White Emperor’ (‘Purissima’) – white with yellow interior, 40 cm (16 in.).

‘Yellow Emperor’ – yellow, 40 cm (16 in.). T. greigii hybrids are short and multi-stemmed, with large, cup-shaped, early blooms. From central Asia, the species is red orange and the distinctive foliage is characterized by purple-and-green striping or mottling. ‘Red Riding Hood’ – carmine red and scarlet, 35 cm (14 in.). ‘Toronto’ – salmon-pink, 30 cm (12 in.). T. praestans hybrids, from central Asia and Turkestan, are 20 to 30 cm (8–12 in.) in height with multiple flowers in mid-spring. ‘Fusilier’ – vermillion red-dark orange, glaucous greygreen foliage, 25 to 30 cm (10–12 in.). ‘Van Tubergen’ – large orange scarlet flowers, 25 cm (10 in.). Tulipa tarda, from central Asia, is 10 to 15 cm (4–6 in.) in height, with yellow, white-tipped petals. It very quickly forms low colonies and is truly perennial. No garden should be without it! An excellent addition to your rock garden. T. urumiensis, native to Lake Urumia in Iran, is also a low col¬onizer, 12 cm (5 in.) in height with yellow petals. Also for use in rock gardens.

Hole-in-one Hugh Danberg of Canwood got a hole-in-one on number 16 at the Waskesiu Golf Course during the Pro Am tournament on August 28th and he won $10,000.00. This was Danberg's second hole-in-one in 8 days as he had one earlier at Elk Ridge’s golf course on Aspen #6, August 20th. Ironically the two holes-in-one were from the same sleeve of Titleist balls. This was Danberg’s 5th hole-in-one as he had two at Canwood Golf Course and one at Melfort Golf Course over the past years.

Just being active on a regular basis can really help you reach health goals. One day take the bike out, next day play with the kids at the park and the day after go for a family hike. Be regularly active and take the “work” out of work-out and enjoy exercise. Have a great week! office – 747-4949 ~ cell – 747-9098 email – shellbrookrecdirector@sasktel.net
Annual influenza clinics starting soon Health officials are encouraging Saskatchewan residents to protect themselves against influenza this season by getting immunized. Saskatchewan’s publicly-funded seasonal influenza vaccine will become available across the province beginning October 9, 2012. “Vaccines help keep our population healthy by preventing the spread of disease,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “We are pleased to offer the influenza vaccine free of charge to our residents through Saskatchewan’s immunization program.” While all individuals six months of age and older will be eligible to receive the vaccine as part of this year’s immunization program, high-risk groups are especially encouraged to get the influenza vaccine. High-risk groups for influenza include people with chronic health conditions, people 65 and over, residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities, children from six months up to 5 years of age and pregnant women. Vaccination is also encouraged for individuals in

Orange Zone safety enhanced The Province of Saskatchewan and the RCMP are joining forces to improve safety in Saskatchewan’s construction zones. The RCMP will begin traffic enforcement blitzes in the busiest Orange Zones across Saskatchewan, Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris announced today.“Our government will not tolerate speeding through the Orange Zone,” McMorris said. “Our first priority is to keep our highways workers safe. In the coming weeks, we will be announcing further measures to protect workers and ensure drivers are driving safely in the Orange Zone.” The Province of Saskatchewan is partnering with the RCMP over concerns about excessive speeds in construction zones. The problem has received increased
scrutiny since the death of 18 year-old Ashley Dawn Richards, a highways flagperson who was struck by a vehicle while working in an Orange Zone in August of this year. “While travelling through construction zones, it is imperative that every motorist be focused on driving their vehicle in the safest manner possible,” RCMP Inspector, Officer in Charge, Traffic Services, “F” Division Andy Landers said. Motorists are required by law to slow to 60 kilometres per hour (km/h) where Orange Zone signs are erected and workers are present. Fines start at $140 and increase by two dollars for every km/h over the speed limit up to 90 km/h. For speeds in excess of 90 km/h, the fine increases by four dollars for every km/h above the speed limit.
close contact with those at high risk of influenza-related complications. “Influenza is a contagious viral disease of the respiratory system that can be spread by coughing, sneezing or touching surfaces like door handles and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes,” Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Getting the vaccine is an effective way to stay healthy during the influenza season and we particularly recommend it for those at high risk of influenza-related complications or hospitalization. “You can also further protect yourself against seasonal influenza and other flu viruses by adopting infection prevention methods such as frequent hand washing, cough and sneeze etiquette, cleaning surfaces often and staying at home when sick.” The publicly-funded (free) vaccine will be available through public health clinics and physicians’ offices. Pharmacies and some health care providers may be selling influenza vaccine directly or providing it as part of workplace health programs. Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Health does not reimburse individuals or businesses for influenza vaccine purchased privately. To find the nearest immunization clinic, residents can contact their public health office, physician, health region or call HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002. Information on clinic locations and schedules will also be available on the websites of regional health authorities. For more information on the provincial immunization program and influenza visit the Ministry of Health’s website at www.health.gov.sk.ca and Healthline Online at www.healthlineonline.ca.

Riders stumble after back to back wins You can say it was a step back. It was a small one, but definitely not a move in the right direction. The Saskatchewan Roughriders were denied a third-straight win Sunday in Montreal, falling 28-17 to the first-place Alouettes. In the process, the Riders dropped to 5-6 and remain technically in thirdplace in the CFL West. Did you watch it? The Alouettes jumped out to a 14-3 lead after one quarter and their lead swelled to 22-6 by halftime. However the Riders completely neutralized Montreal's offence in the second half limiting quarterback Anthony Calvillo to 30 yards passing over the final 30 minutes.
ROD PEDERSEN ~
Voice of The Riders Unfortunately once the defence got going, the offence stalled. Quarterback Drew Willy, making
his first pro start in place of the injured Darian Durant, was unable to replicate his heroics from the week before in the comeback win at the Banjo Bowl. Two second half interceptions plus two missed field goals by Sandro Deangelis snuffed out any chance of a road victory. It's too bad. The game was there to be won but the club lost the turnover battle 4-2 and took almost 200 yards in penalties. Many of them were of the needless variety, and sustained Montreal drives. "That's football," shrugged Rider coach Corey Chamblin. "There was an opportunity for us to take
this game but we didn't take it. Cinderella didn't show up twice. We need to look at ourselves with the penalties and the turnovers." Riders' leading receiver Weston Dressler was a lot more cutting in his postgame comments saying "It's time for this thing to grow up". On a daily basis Dressler is growing more and more as a leader, saying the things which need to be said, but that comment was particularly poignant. Just who ARE these Roughriders? They've definitely been a Jeckyll and Hyde bunch, starting the season at 3-0, losing five in a row and then rebounding with a backto-back sweep of rival Winnipeg.
And now this. It's head-scratching to examine Sunday's game. It was right there for them, but as defensive lineman Terrius George said "We just didn't want to take it". Oh well. If there was a game that Riders could afford to lose it was this one, rather than the upcoming home games against division foes Calgary and BC. They're learning. Sometimes at a painfully slow pace, but they're definitely learning. All that matters is that they secure a playoff spot and then, as we all know, anything can happen! (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)
Take advantage of the NHL lockout On a par with Tim Hortons running out of coffee or Internet access going down, Canadians are almost certainly going to face one of those “Oh, no!” situations when the National Hockey League goes dark. So, while the lockout is on and NHL rinks are gathering dust, what are loonie-spending, Maple Leaf-waving, coffee-drinking, Justin-Bieber-loving Canadians supposed to do with time formerly spent in front of their TV sets or — if they’re lucky enough to live in an NHL city — in the stands cheering on their favourite team? Here are a few ways to fill in that time and feel good about yourself at the same time: — Go for a nightly walk, but not to the neighbourhood bar. — Be the ‘Good Samaritan’ on your block to shovel snow from the driveway of the little old lady down the street. If you’re one of two ‘Good Samaritans’ and both of you arrive to do your good deed at the same time, do not drop the shovels and settle things with fisticuffs. Share. Do half each. — Embrace the exciting Canadian Football League. (*Manitobans exempt from this suggestion.) Regular season and playoffs will keep up your sporting interest until late November. — Volunteer with your local Christmas Cheer Board, or local equivalent. Almost every community has an
agency that raises money and collects toys for those less fortunate. Swell your heart and help your community by saying “what can you find for me to do?” — Become a fowl supper (burp!) junkie. — Visit your local arena and watch some of the squirts, peewees, bantam and midgets — the future of our game — play hockey for the fun of it. — Organize street hockey games in your neighbourhood, just as you did when you were 10 years old. Best part? The post-game hot chocolate is now a cool, refreshing beer. — Buy a dartboard. Find enlarged photos of Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr. Practise daily. • R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Actress Elisha Cuthbert and Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf announced they are engaged to be married. So far, no disagreements with that NHL union.” • Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “I’ve become a big fan of Giants coach Tom Coughlin, but he always looks like he’s about to undergo a dental procedure.” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Dwyane Wade is on a media tour plugging his new book on fatherhood, and it is refreshing that he embraces his role as a dad. To too many NBA players, fatherhood is a claim pending a paternity suit.” • Cote again: “Vin Scully, 84, will return as the Los
BRUCE PENTON ~ Angeles Dodgers’ broadcaster next year. I don’t wanna say Scully is old, but he recalls Abner Doubleday as a “good kid.” • Another one from Chad: “Why is it called ‘Tommy John surgery’? Shouldn’t the procedure be identified by the doctor who first performed it, Frank Jobe? After all, the Heimlich manoeuvre isn’t named after the person who was choking.”
• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Jerry Rice said recently that (49ers coach Jim) Harbaugh needs to take the diaper off (Alex) Smith, let him be a man. Did that happen Sunday (against the Packers)? Depends.” • R.J. Currie again: “Andy Murray won his first-ever Slam at the U.S. Open, ending a British championship drought dating back 76 years. Or as Cubs fans put it, not that long ago.” • Snipped from Dwight Perry’s ‘Sideline Chatter’ in the Seattle Times: “Bill ‘Spaceman’ Lee, 65, became the oldest pitcher to win a pro baseball game when he hurled the San Rafael (Calif.) Pacifics to a 9-4 independent-league victory over the Maui Na Koa Ikaika of Hawaii, but apparently not without controversy. “The opposing manager claimed
that Lee was putting his hand to his mouth," wrote Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, “but that was just to keep his teeth in.” • Another one from Perry: “Line judge Shannon Eastin became the first woman game official in NFL history in Sunday's Rams-Lions game, and Steelers linebacker Larry Foote had no problem with that. ‘Women are more honest and fair than men,’ Foote told AP, ‘and they know how to catch a man cheating.’ “ • Murray State football coach Chris Hatcher, as quoted in the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel, refusing to assess Florida State's national-title chances after the Seminoles beat his team 69-3: “I'm no procrastinator.” • Comedian Argus Hamilton, on the newest addition to Time Warner's cable of-
ferings: “Australian-rules football, if you've never seen it, is a cross between rugby and second-degree manslaughter.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said that rebuilding the team ‘won’t happen overnight’ and that 2013 may also be tough. Undaunted, die-hard Cubs fans immediately put on t-shirts saying “Wait until the year after next year.” • TV funnyman Conan O’Brien of TNT: “Over the weekend Mitt Romney made an appearance at a NASCAR race in Virginia. There was an awkward moment when he asked a NASCAR driver why he didn’t just hire a chauffeur.” Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@yahoo. ca

Thank you to my coworkers and management for allowing me to spend a very special month with my Dad, as I cared for him at home. Thank you for all the warm hugs, phone calls, cards, food and flowers. Thank you for the memorable gifts from the hospital staff as well as the Home Care Staff. These treasures will be put in a special garden as a tribute to Mom and Dad. Thank you to everyone who made it out to Meskanaw for the service - it truly warmed my heart to have you there, I know there were many who could not make it, but I felt your presence. Thanks also for the monetary donations that will go to either the Meskanaw Traill Cemetery or the Cancer Society. Thank you to friends and neighbours who cared for my garden while I was gone. Mom and Dad will dearly be missed, but we take comfort in knowing they are forever together. - Keith & Lori Moss and family.

MEMORIAMS SKRUPSKI - In loving memory of Jean Skrupski who passed away September 19, 2009. We always think of you in silence We often speak your name, But all we have are memories And your picture in a frame, Your resting place we visit And put flowers there with care But no one knows the heartache As we turn and leave you there. - Nick and family SKAVLEBO - In memory of Herman Skavlebo, August 10, 1924 - Sept. 25, 2008 Those we love remain with us For love itself lives on Cherished memories never fade Because a loved one is gone. Those we love can never be More than a thought apart For as long as there is a memory They live on in our heart. - Lois and family
In loving memory of our parents Robert Aiken, November 27, 1926 - January 15, 2000; Ione Aiken, September 26, 1931 - July 21, 2002. It’s hard to find the words that we really want to say As we remember both of you with every passing day. The memories we have felt throughout these many years Have kept us smiling graciously instead of showing tears. To us, you were so very special with all your care and love We know you smile upon us from heavenly skies above. So when we feel cheated that we cannot have you here We know your love surrounds us and keeps you ever near. - With love, Barb & Gary, Glen & Joy, Ken and Odile and families.

My wife and I recently made the decision to sell our 5 quarters of farmland between Semans and Nokomis, Saskatchewan and we were very pleased with the service that was given to us by Doug Rue. His agricultural background and his business acumen made him the perfect fit for us in terms of completing a “worry-free” transaction. The process was swift and easy and we were more than pleased with the price we received for the land. I particularly enjoyed my conversations with Doug and his attention to detail with respect to following up with us. Trent & Lorette Fraser Prairie Dog Developments Inc.
