The changing leaves provided dazzling colours for everyone to enjoy during the Touch of Autumn event at Honeywood.

Touch of Autumn on display at Honeywood The Honeywood (Dr. A.J. Porter) Heritage Nursery held its annual Touch of Autumn event on Sunday, September 22. After the early rain subsided, a number of locals made their way to the site in order to enjoy the colourful scenery and indulge in a slice of delicious pie. Anyone who walked the nursery saw rich colours bursting above the rusting grass, the sounds of leaves crunching underfoot.

The event required a lot of preparation, mostly in the form of baking. A large number of pies were made in the days leading up to the gathering, an undertaking mostly done by volunteer hands. “They got a group of ladies together who are great bakers and great at doing pies,” commented Judy Harley, manager of Honeywood. “They got together in Parkside and did 60 or 70 pies that they made up in tinfoil pie plates, and they froze those and they are for sale through the store.

And then they came out here yesterday and they made 60 pies for today.”

The pies, made up of apples and rhubarb grown at Honeywood, were enjoyed thoroughly by everyone in attendance.

There was also live music, artisan booths, and a riding tour of the grounds.

A Touch of Autumn is the last formal event that Honeywood hosts each year, marking a virtual end to the summer season at the site. In hindsight, the season was certainly one to remember for Honeywood manager Judy Harley. “It’s been an interesting summer,” she said. The late start, mixed with the early rain and subsequent lack of rain, combined to make for some difficult conditions at the nursery.

The coming of the cold weather carried with it reminders of the preparation needed to be done before winter. Some of the

work involves digging up the lilies in the Memorial Garden, separating them, and moving them into new ground. “What happens with lilies is they get too crowded if they’re left too long,” Harley said. “As they are crowding themselves, instead of the bulb getting bigger, the bulb will get smaller. And so, the small bulb produces a small stock, and you’re going to lose that if you don’t dig it and move it.”

“For each variety in the display garden, we’ll plant probably seven bulbs, and those will eventually grow like that again.

The rest we will plant somewhere else in the nursery, because those are the Porter lilies, and we really need to keep them, and to keep them growing. People are interested in collecting those types of things.”

A Touch of Autumn Continued from page 1

Guided tours of the nursery were available to allow patrons the chance to take in the scenery scenery.

General cleanup and getting things winter-ready will also encompass the next couple months at Honeywood.

“Anything that’s left in pots we need to store for the winter,” Harley said. Other considerations need to be made, such as the winterization and storage of all the equipment, and the moving of certain items, such as the books and other things, to the Parkside school, where they will be stored until next Spring.

Honeywood boasted a new building during the Touch of Autumn event, something that has been in the works over the summer and finally usable for the event. There is still work to be done on the structure, which will include wheelchair accessible bathrooms, along with an office complete with a shower, when it is all said and done. “So if we want to offer this place

as a retreat for businesses or organizations, then we have someplace for them to have a shower,” Harley said.

All in all it was a successful summer at Honeywood, a statement that, according to Harley, would be impossible to make without the volunteer assistance they so generously receive each year.

“The support and the volunteers that came out of our local communities were just amazing. And I’ve always said that before, that without volunteers we would be nowhere, and that is so true,” Harley said.

The rain ended up holding off for the duration of the Touch of Autumn celebration, marking another successful day at Honeywood. “It’s a nice relaxing day for most people,” Harley said. “They like to come out, they love the apple and rhubarb pie.”

The W.P. Sandin School Community Council held a fundraising barbeque in the spring to raise money for events and equipment for the school. Over the year, the group helped fund a number of projects that included guest speakers, playground equipment, and a bagel breakfast at the library in order to help promote literacy. The barbeque raised $1,377, and Scotiabank donated a cheque to match that total.

OPINION www.shellbrookchronicle.com

September 27, 2013

Vital volunteers Oftentimes, when wrapping up an interview during an event, the person I am speaking with will make sure to give a word of thanks to the many people who volunteered their time to make the event possible. Volunteers are an essential part of many groups, clubs and organizations that, without the unpaid help, would cease to exist. These are generous individuals who agree to give up their valuable time, a commodity more precious than dollars, in an effort to uplift their communities and the people who dwell within them.

Statistics Canada did a study in 2010 that found, “Over 13.3 million people—accounting for 47% of Canadians aged 15 and over—did volunteer work in 2010. They devoted almost 2.07 billion hours to their volunteer activities: a volume of work that is equivalent to just under 1.1 million full-time jobs.” This JON is a colossal number, and an impressive stat that Canadians SVEC should be proud of. The study ~ also found, however, that, “A small proportion of volunteers Reporter do most of the work. In fact in 2010, 10% of volunteers accounted for 53% of all volunteer hours given to non-profit and charitable organizations.”

Personally, I was extremely fortunate to have benefitted from the generous volunteer work of a large number of individuals during my youth. For me, this was mostly in the form of coaches who gave up their time to ensure that my friends and I could play organized sports.

It was sometimes difficult, at the time, to appreciate the sacrifices that these people were making. Sometimes the coaches were parents of my teammates, but not always.

Sometimes they were teachers, though this, too, wasn’t always the case. Some were extremely knowledgeable in the sport that they were trying to teach us, having played the game themselves and experienced certain levels of success. This, again, was not always true, as some brought with them nothing more than their time and a key to the gym.

Those inexperienced coaches represented a group that was perhaps even more worthy of thanks. They did not sign up to relive any past glories, nor to boast their knowledge by passing it on. They simply agreed to participate so that the kids would have a chance to play, as in many cases this was a last-ditch effort, and their lack of assistance would have meant folding the team.

Coaching youth sports is certainly not the only form of volunteerism. For some, the commitment involves not only the sacrifice of time, but also the burden of a certain amount of risk. According to the Canadian Volunteer Fire Services Association, there are currently over 85,000 men and women servicing the 3,000 volunteer fire departments across the country. It goes without saying that these individuals are vital members of any community, and that their generosity goes above and beyond the expected contribution.

That’s not to say that the casual volunteer is any less important. Anyone who answers the call to assist with local fundraisers, sit on boards, mentor youth, or take advantage of any of the other countless opportunities that exist—to lend a hand without asking for anything in return—should be applauded.

I feel fortunate to be at a stage in life where I can begin to repay the debt that I owe to the generation before me by paying it back to the next one. The Stats Canada study stated that, “People who were involved in community activities in their childhood or adolescence have a greater tendency to become adults who are involved in more kinds of civic activities like formal and informal volunteering.” It certainly is a cycle, with the burden always resting on the current generation—that they may keep it going, for the benefit of us all.

Harper Senate handling getting worse There might now be something worse in the Senate mess than that $90,000 cheque Mike Duffy got to cover his expenses or the $100,600 Pamela Wallin has had to pay back for travel that wasn’t Senate business.

It’s the $300,000 a year taxpayers are still forking over for a Senate government leader’s office.

With the demise of former Senator Marjorie LeBreton as government Senate leader and her exclusion from Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet in the July shuff le, Quebec Conservative Senator Claude Carignan has become the new government leader in the Senate. However, even though the Quebec Conservative Senator is not in cabinet, he will still receive the same $300,000 office budget that LeBreton received.

The question to be asked is really the same one that surrounds the Senate these days: Why is it necessary?

Now, one could legitimately ask why a Senator would ever be appointed to cabinet in the first place. Senators are supposedly there to oversee cabinet and government decisions on behalf of the

provinces they represent. From that perspective, it would seem a blatant conf lict of interest to all have that person serve in the cabinet. Certainly, they should not be beholding or be taking MURRAY direction from the Prime Minister’s OfMANDRYK fice that they are ap~ pointed to oversee.

And by logical extension, does it even make sense for Senators to serve in the role of government or Opposition leaders of parties?

As it stands right now, the six Senators representing Saskatchewan is slightly proportionally higher than the 14 elected MPs in the House of Commons. But is it of any real benefit to rural Saskatchewan voters if our Senators simply follow their designated party line without any consideration of the area they supposedly represent?

It is more than a little ironic that Mike

Duffy would be appointed to represent Prince Edward Island _ a province that hasn’t been his residence for decades and where he didn’t even have a health care or driver’s license before taking his Senate seat.

But the sorry affair in which Harper’s former chief of staff Nigel Wright bailed him out with a $90,000 cheque to cover his improper expense claims said all too much about where Duffy’s loyalties were.

By the same token, the huffing and puffing we are now hearing from Saskatchewan Senator Pamela Wallin about the “lynch-mob mentality” that is forcing her to repay $100,600 in improperly claimed expenses rings pretty hollow when many of those improper expenses were to attend Conservative fund-raising events.

But hardest to digest is that Harper has had abandoned any interest in supporting provincial Senate elections as proposed by Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party government. Instead, Harper has now appointed more Senators than any other prime minister in history. And, as is now obvious by Wallin

and Duffy, all have been appointed because of their contributions to his political party.

Now, add insult to injury with Harper’s appointment of Carignan _ a defeated Conservative candidate in the 2008 federal election _ as Senate Government House leader.

The same Stephen Harper who once described the Liberal government’s appointment of former Alberta Liberal leader Nick Taylor in the most vile political terms imaginable is now doing the same thing the Liberals did.

Some might argue that he’s acted even worse than those Liberal prime ministers, given the volume of Senators he’s appointed and given that their appointments were strictly in the present interests of the Conservative party.

And now Harper is affording his onetime failed candidate the luxury of a cabinet minister’s $300,000 a year office _ even though the Senator is not in cabinet and has no need for such an office?

It again begs the question: Why do we need the Senate?

YOUR TWO C ENTS ~

Harper growth record worse since R.B. Bennett Dear Editor: You can bet your bottom dollar that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Speech from the Throne on October 16 will assert repeatedly that his government is “focused on jobs and growth”. But just saying it doesn’t make it true. In fact, Mr. Harper has the worst economic growth record since the dismal days of R.B. Bennett.

When he first took power in 2006, he was handed a steadily growing economy which had generated 3.5 million net new jobs, declining debt and taxes, a decade of balanced budgets, annual surpluses at about $13-billion, and fiscal flexibility projected ahead five years totaling $100-billion. That’s what Mr. Harper had to work with – the most robust fiscal situation in the western world. And he blew it in less than three years.

He over-spent by three-times the rate of inflation. He eliminated all the financial shock absorbers that had been built into Canada’s budgetary framework to protect against adverse events. And he put this country back into deficit again – a structural deficit – BEFORE (not because of) the recession which arrived in late 2008.

It’s now four full years since the recession ended, and still our national economy remains sluggish and uncer-

tain with vast disparities among different regions, sectors and demographic groups.

In response, this government has only one monotonous and ineffectual prescription – austerity, austerity and more austerity. To fix (or at least camouflage) his structural deficit, for example, Mr. Harper took a slice out of future funding for healthcare and old-age pensions.

Beyond plain incompetence – as exposed in the bungled and deceitful F-35 fighter-jet fiasco, among others – Mr. Harper’s basic problem is having no credible plan for economic growth. You cannot hack-and-slash your way to prosperity.

Mr. Harper is quick to claim that Canada has more growth than some countries, like Spain. But we’re not doing better than many others, like Australia, New Zealand, Norway or even the United States.

Canadians are weary of the grinding mediocrity that characterizes the Harper regime. We’re constantly told to lower our expectations, settle for less. And a big part of that burden falls on Canada’s middle-class. That’s just not good enough.

It’s time for a government that will be on Canadians’ side, encouraging us to be hopeful and ambitious once

again – about our own prospects and about the future of our country.

More physicians Shellbrook Royal Purple donate to Health Centre practising in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan residents are receiving better access to physician services. Since its inception in 2011, the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) has resulted in a total of 91 new doctors practising family medicine in Saskatchewan. Nineteen physicians, part of the most recent SIPPA intake, passed the May assessment and are now practising in communities across the province.

SIPPA assesses International Medical Graduates (IMGs) on their medical education and clinical ability before allowing them to practise medicine here.

“Our physician assessment is designed to recruit more internationally trained doctors to Saskatchewan and is key to further stabilizing the physician workforce throughout the province,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Randy Weekes said. “I’d like to congratulate these doctors who have passed their assessment and are now providing care to Saskatchewan residents.”

A list of the communities and health regions where SIPPA graduates are practising is provided below. The September 2013 SIPPA intake is now underway, and an additional 25 physicians will be moving onto the clinical field assessment phase.

“SIPPA is a made-in-Saskatchewan solution, and it is working. We are delighted by the success of our candidates in their clinical field assessments. We will continue to work in partnership with saskdocs and our provincial government to ensure continued success for SIPPA and the IMGs who now have the opportunity to live and work in Saskatchewan” said Dr. Penny Davis, Medical Director of SIPPA for the College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan.

“More doctors are hearing about SIPPA, which allows IMGs to apply for licensure here in this province,” said Ed Mantler, saskdocs CEO. “It is encouraging to increasingly see more IMGs currently living within Canada apply. Our agency has been working hard at reaching out to those individuals within Canada to tell them about the opportunities that await them here.”

While recruiting internationally educated doctors is important to stabilizing the province’s physician workforce, saskdocs also recruits Saskatchewan-trained and Canadian-trained medical graduates.

“Recruiting and retaining University of Saskatchewan (U of S) medical graduates remains our number one priority,” said Mantler. “We realize these graduates have many options to choose from once they graduate so it is important that we engage them early on and support them along the way and let them know about the many opportunities available to them in this province.”

“First and foremost we will tell our own medical graduates about the many opportunities available to them here.

We’ll also share information on the province with them and tell them why it is such a great place to live and work,” said Mantler.

Any physician interested in working in Saskatchewan is encouraged to contact saskdocs directly at info@saskdocs.ca or call toll-free (in North America) 1-888-4153627 or 306-933-5000.

'Heritage Hogs for Pork' While I can't say I'm anything near a regular reader of the magazine Hobby Farms, the recent Sept/Oct issue piqued my interest when I saw it on the racks at McNally Robinson in Saskatoon on a recent weekend get away.

The feature story highlighted on the cover is entitled 'Heritage Hogs for Pork'.

Growing up on a registered pig farm, anything on hogs still draws my interest.

I can recall when still a youngster doing a display on the wide range of pig breeds actually out there, at a time when maybe a half dozen had a sizable foothold on the Canadian Prairies.

Since those days the number of pure breeds raised here has if not declined, at least seen a big drop in numbers.

Today's hog industry, beleaguered as it is, revolves around hybrid lines which cross purebreds, predominantly Yorkshire and Landrace, to take advantage of the vigour such crossing provides.

Under current practice for raising hogs, intensive, indoor, operations, such hybrids

To look at raising grass-fed hogs effectively, it means seeking out breeds such as Berkshire, Kunekune, Duroc, Tamworth, Large English Blacks and Red Wattle. None of these breeds are going to suddenly take over largescale operations, but they can have their place.

And, since there is seemingly growing public pressure against intensive livestock, and increasing interest in the idea of a 100-mile diet, the door may be opening to more niche production of a less intensive variety.

That is why rare livestock breeds should be maintained. No one knows exactly what the face of livestock production may look like in the future. There may come a time the traits of the Mulefoot or Mangalitsa are needed, and if we have allowed the breed to disappear, then those traits are gone too.

Hopefully agriculture is wise enough to see the benefits which might be gained by being good stewards of our purebred livestock genetics.

Substitution rush The boys and girls over at the U.S. Federal Reserve decided to keep the current “quantitative easing” bond-buying program, contrasting the expectations that they were going to cut the $85 billion per month stimulus package by at least $10 billion. This stimulus will continue to devalue the U.S. dollar, ultimately making it cheaper for another country to buy the same amount of goods in their currency at a lower price. As such, the entire commodities sector is completely in the green this morning.

Gold? Yup that’s higher because it’s seen as a safe haven against the depreciating US currency. Oil? Yup that’s higher because it’s priced in USD everywhere. Metals? Inherently higher. So, obviously, the grains complex also went in the green on the news.

As a result of the market getting another sugar rush, reasons for the taper delay are not only based on U.S. economic indicator but also global ones. Asian & European consumer demand is contrite, especially with the lack of wage growth there while U.S. monthly jobs being added and inflation figures are still under the Fed’s targets. Ultimately, with no end in sight to the bottom of the punchbowl, the market says, “Drink up!” (with the misconception this party could go on forever).

there as farmers are likely better off to wait a few weeks for some moisture to accumulate in the ground before drilling any seeds into it. Next door in Argentina, wheat acres planted and production estimates continue to fall as lack of rainfall there is limiting crop growth.

Heading over to Europe, Russia has averaged 40mm of rain since September 14th, making things very, very wet for the Comrades over there trying to push combines through the muck.

Rain also keeps falling in the Ukraine which isn’t all that great for planting winter cereals and getting the current harvest getting done (the same feeling back in the Prairies with most areas getting some rain recently). Good rains continue to fall across most of Australia, helping relieve many areas with dry soil. The US Midwest also continues to receive precipitation which ultimately points to good conditions for some winter wheat to get planted this year. If the Midwest continues to see more rainfall, we could see winter wheat acres jump up this year for our friends south of the 49th parallel. How’s that saying go? If you don’t stop dancing for rain, it’ll eventually come? Keep dancing if you’re looking for more then.

14.8 million tonnes of canola expected to be taken off, which will help replenish depleted stocks. However, some analysts here in Canada think that we could see more than 32 million tonnes of wheat (first time since 1991) and over 16 million tonnes of canola!

All in all, big numbers coming off the fields around the world continue to push a sideways-to-bearish trade in the markets.

Canola may be supported by a smaller U.S. soybean crop but record rapeseed production is expected this year. As such, the bigger supply will likely offset any increased demand that comes from buyer looking to substitute away from more expensive soybeans.

Are high taxes shutting Canada’s NHL teams out of contention?

A new paper released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) reveals that Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal are three of the least financially attractive destinations for NHL players due to high tax rates.

The CTF looked at the top 30 NHL free agents from this past off-season, comparing the amount of income tax they will pay in whichever province or state their new team resides, to the amount of income tax they would pay if they had signed with the Leafs, Senators, Canadiens or Jets.

Phoenix Coyotes goalie

Did You Hear?

Mike Smith would pay an extra $2.8 million in taxes over the life of his six year, $34 million contract if he signed the same deal with the Montreal Canadiens, $2.6 million if he signed with the Leafs or Sens and $1.6 million if he signed with the Jets.

“The numbers don’t lie; NHL players take a financial hit to play in Ontario, Quebec, California, New York and New Jersey,” said former Junior A goaltender, Senators fan, paper author and CTF Research Director Nick Bergamini. “Does this give successive Leafs’ GMs an excuse for poor trades

and sloppy draft choices?

No. But it does mean that these teams are all at a major disadvantage because of punitive provincial income tax rates.”

The CTF paper also estimates that the Toronto Maple Leafs would have $12.6 million in cap space if their players paid Alberta income tax rates or $8.2 million with B.C’s tax levels.

“I’d support moving the Leafs part-time to Red Deer if that meant signing Cody Franson, but then I’d have an even tougher time finding tickets to go... plane tickets that is,” said CTF Ontario

Director Candice Malcolm.

Meanwhile, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver all rank among the best places to play from an income tax standpoint.

“I was hoping this paper would let me blame the government for the Canucks 2011 loss in the finals. Alas, no, I will just keep blaming the fact that I took off my lucky sweater,” said CTF B.C. Director and long-suffering Canuck-fan Jordan Bateman.

The CTF paper also shows that Canada’s eastern teams will be at a major disadvantage in the 2014 unrestricted

free agency market. Signing with the Sens, Leafs or Habs will mean millions in lost wages for upcoming UFAs like Henrik Lundqvist and Joe Thornton. Recent tax hikes on high income earners in Quebec and Ontario will only make playing in these provinces a tougher decision.

“This is good news for the Calgary Flames, as they’ll likely be tossing bags of cash at Lundqvist after Jordan Eberle lights up goalie Joey MacDonald this season,” said Oilers season ticket holder and the CTF’s VP Communications Scott Hen-

nig.

“All jokes aside, this paper also shows that highly-skilled, highly-mobile employees have huge advantages or disadvantages thrown at them based on the local income tax rate,” said Bergamini. “This goes for more than just NHL players, but for doctors, engineers, CEOs of major companies.

If it’s hard to attract freeagents in the NHL because of your tax rates, it’s probably also be hard to attract other highly skilled workers. Governments need to keep that in mind when they’re passing their next budget.”

Six time winner at Ed Krienke Classic

The annual EK Classic kicked off on September 6 with 116 golfers participating. After a weekend of golfing and fun, a six-time winner was declared. Ray Krienke now has his name on this trophy six times along with his wife who is there five times. And they are very proud of it.

Preparations began last spring with a lot more ease than usual, knowing that the Big River Golf Course was going to be in super shape, thanks to the club volunteers who put in many hours to get it there. New ideas were ensured and the work began with our three ‘hole-in-one’ sponsored, Riverside Arctic Cat, TR Petroleum (Travis Gold) and Rally Motorsports once again offering awesome prizes.

The involvement of so many family and friends is what made this event possible. Visitors began arriving Thursday and the need for campers was fun filled as Ron Gilbert and Courtney Phillips moved campers to the Regional Park. Jerry and Leisa McCredie, Florida friends, drove up from Iowa to take part in the 13th annual Classic and were extremely impressed with Big River’s camping facility.

Grandchildren assisted with

the filling of the goodie bags that each golfer would receive at registration.

Muffins and cakes were made.

Friday, September 6 had to get off to an earlier start than usual due to the great enthusiasm of 116 golfers.

Rita Busch came on scene at 11 a.m. to prepare for the registration. She very capably handled this process for the entire weekend. Working long side her were Sandra Gilbert, Rachel McPetrie and Sandra LaClaire pushing the sale of the 50/50 tickets, the Memorial Bag raffle and the special raffle of a handcrafted quilt by Barbara Gordon.

Participants make every effort to get their first round in Friday leaving more time Saturday for socializing. The Community Centre was a hub of activity all the while golfers were out shooting their first nine. Golfers and their fans picked up their raffle tickets, putted a few times in the ‘Best Putter of the Year’ competition and still managed to keep an eye on the ‘Bucket List’.

Ryan Danberg of Elkridge Resort sponsored this making it possible for a lucky person to strike another thing off their bucket list as new entries could be made every two hours ... what a

reason to hang around the action! There was the Silent Auction table that needed to be checked periodically to ensure that you hadn’t been outbid.

This year Ray added the Saskatchewan Roughrider Toss game to his area of putting. Many children became involved in the activity of this game. Brian Moyer and Reese Krienke were declared the champions for 2013.

Friday evening the traditional Bison Dog Roast took place. Sandy and Faye Ingram donated the bison for this roast. The bonfire and grill were fired up out back so roasters could cook up whenever they felt the urge for a bison dog. The night went on with the help of Peter Lamothe, Rhonda Glasrud, April Johnson, Karla Kazmiruk, Laurie Hrynkiw, Noreen Olsen and Les and his crew in the bar.

A popular vehicle arrived Friday afternoon, thanks to Joe Wall. He provided his quad to serve as the ‘beer wagon’ for the weekend. Joe also took his shift in the bar service along with Michelle Krienke and her friend Allison from Duncan, B.C. As Allison, says, “Not only golfers have fun this weekend. I try every year to get here for this tournament and I don’t

golf?”

Those who were not able to golf Friday and those who like early morning coffee and muffins arrived the centre at 7 a.m. to get the day off to a good start. The Schwabs, Arlene Ritchie Carla Chadwich and Lennie Combres were preparing the noon luncheon.

George and Arlene donated the bison burgers and Wanda Bogner the fries which proved to be popular lunch for golfers and fans.

Soon Danette Phillips and Jacqui Jess arrived to provide bar relief and as usual Jeremy Morin arrived for the late night shift.

Immediately following the lunch the Insurance Syndicate fired up with Randy, Les and Ray nabbing bidders from the crowd while Rita recorded. Several people thought Scott Reed was crazy when he put up the bid bucks for Ray and Kelly. He later reminded them that it was one of the easiest ways he ever doubled his money and without Wes and les there to compete in the bidding, his job was made a whole lot easier.

Now it was time to hit the course again and this time in hopes of capturing a holein-one for one of those awesome prizes. Unfortunately,

once again, after 116 tries the Rallymotors side-byside, the Riverside quad and Travis’ gas for a year went unclaimed. It was possibly the heat that held back these pro golfers from a achieving their accomplishment of dropping that ball from the tee.

With all golfers back at the center putting and tossing continued, the silent auction bids rose, raffle tickets were flying and the bar was a happening place while Laverne Michel and Shaye Morin very capably prepared the supper for serving. Larry and Gerri Krienke, Neil and Rhoda Marshall, Norman and Linda Ethier donated the beef and potatoes.

Alas, awards time had arrived. Muriel Runge was delighted with winning the quilt. Terry Krienke went home with nearly $500 from he 50/50 and Zack Lomsnes carried way the 2014 Memorial Bag. Arlene Gilbert, Pam Nozhddlova, Carolyn Dancey, Meagen Mitchell, Justin Betchel, and Lennie Combres placed the highest bids in the silent auction. The longest drivers were Logan Cote, Tammy Pauls and Easton Neufeldt with Jerry and Leisa McCredie getting the longest driving award by coming

from Keokuk, Iowa. Murray Randal, Maisie Krienke and Lucas Lomsnes landed their ball only millimeters from the line. Golf GPS’ went to Darcy Clarke and Pat Warren as the lucky early bird winners. Most Senior golfers were Loretta Osinchuk and Leonard Young and most Junior Sheldon Chadwich.

From the Bucket Leanne Holbrook will again be doing a retreat at Elkridge and Pam Wall just may have to take up golfing as she won the putter. Cole Pister, Caroline Dancey, Tasha Gammel and Sandra LaClaire were awarded signed copies of Rink Burgers by Todd Devonshire. 2013 Golf Champions were Ray and Kelly Krienke who will once again have their names engraved on the plaque.

It is a wonderful feeling to be involved in an event where everyone is having so much fun while working and contributing to the outcome.

The proceeds of this years tournament will a again go toward recreation improvement in Big River by putting money in the golf course.

With the profit of $8,447 the Ed Krienke Memorial fund has well exceeded $90,000 so undoubtedly should break the $100,000 mark next year.

Red Cross Day of Pink announced in Saskatchewan Sadly, about one in five children are the targets of bullying behaviour. On April 9, 2014, the Canadian Red Cross and SaskEnergy will take a stand against bullying with over 20,000 children, youth and adults across the province during Red Cross Day of Pink.

The day builds on year-round Red Cross violence, bullying and abuse prevention education in schools and communities throughout the province.

“Red Cross Day of Pink is all about taking a stand against bullying behaviour. We want to demonstrate that it’s no longer socially acceptable to bully,” said Valerie Pearson, RespectED Manager with the Red Cross in Saskatchewan. “With the support of sponsors like SaskEnergy, and over 20,000 children, youth and adults, we’re going to make that stand on April 9.”

Red Cross Day of Pink began as Pink Shirt Day in 2007

when two high school students in Nova Scotia stood up to bullying. The students asked their peers to wear pink to school after they heard a male classmate had been bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Red Cross Day of Pink continues this momentum and brings schools and communities together in a stand against bullying.

“Preventing bullying in our schools, communities and the workplace is a high priority at SaskEnergy,” said Leslie Gosselin, Manager of Advertising & Community Relations for SaskEnergy. “Education is the key to prevention, and we’re proud to partner with the Red Cross once again to help put an end to bullying.”

Red Cross encourages schools and businesses to register at redcross.ca/PinkSK to receive support tools and order pink shirts, hats and stickers in support of Red Cross bullying prevention programming. For tips and

13094MF00

information about Red Cross bullying prevention education programs contact your local Red Cross office, or visit redcross.ca/RespectED. “At the Red Cross, every day is Pink Day,” said Pearson. “We are always educating children, youth and adults about how to recognize, address and prevent bullying.”

Red Cross Day of Pink is made possible with thanks to: Presenting Sponsor, SaskEnergy; Supporting Sponsors, RBC Royal Bank, K+S Potash, and Saskatchewan Credit Unions; Official T-Shirt supplier, Extreme Hockey and Sport; and Official Transportation supplier, STC. Every shirt sold will help educate one child in bullying prevention in Saskatchewan. All proceeds go directly to Red Cross violence, bullying and abuse prevention education in the province.

Shellbrook Aardvarks begin football season with win The Senior Football Team from W.P. Sandin High School saw their first action on September 19 when they travelled to La Ronge to take on the Churchill Chargers.

They loaded the bus early on Thursday morning in

preparation for the long road trip ahead, and after miles and miles of road and a stop to stretch their legs, the Sandin squad made it to their destination in time for a good warm-up, used to find their feet. A large crowd came out

to support the home team, creating a great environment for high school football, hosted under cool skies.

Shellbrook led off the scoring when Ryan Honoroski caught a pass in the flats from quarterback Skylar Gratias

and took it all the way to pay dirt. Garret Feige converted the two-point kick after the score, something he would go on to do with great proficiency throughout the game.

The Shellbrook defense was shaky to start the con-

test, allowing the Chargers a fairly easy march down the field. The Churchill squad collected chunk yardage behind their big running back, and ended up scoring on the drive. Churchill failed to convert on their two-point

kick.

When Shellbrook got the ball back they continued their scoring ways, this touchdown coming in the form of a Skylar Gratias run. He tucked in tight behind Luke Diehl and the rest of his offensive line, who wedged it up to lead him in for the score.

The Sandin defense forced a punt on the next drive, but the officials said that the Shellbrook player fumbled the ball on the return, and awarded possession back to the Chargers. The Chruchill running back took the ball the rest of the way with a big run on the next play, scoring another touchdown. The convert was again missed, allowing Shellbrook to hold on to their four-point lead.

Aaron Closs scored Shellbrook’s next touchdown, after the offense fooled the Chargers with a reverse play.

The Shellbrook defense held, and the Aardvarks soon had the ball back in their possession. Coach Devon Thorpe, after spying something in the Chargers defense, called another reverse that was again taken a long way for a score, this time by Zach Banda.

The Chargers offense set off on another drive on their next series, fueled mostly by penalties, but the Shellbrook defense held when Noah MacPherson made a tackle for a loss on the Chargers’ third down try. Because of the field position, however, the Chargers ended up scoring a safety on the next play, bringing the score a little closer.

Zach Banda scored the first touchdown of the second half, again on a reverse play, this time cut inside and carried a long way for the six points. Both defenses stiffened for a little while, and the next touchdown was scored on a Skylar Gratias run, pulling the Shellbrook team even further ahead.

Brandon Bieker later scored on an end around run.

Zach Banda, who hauled in a pass from backup quarterback Jared Wason and ran the ball in for his third touchdown of the game, rounded off the scoring.

The Shellbrook defense, after a slow start, didn’t give up a single first down for the entire second half of play. Garret Feige was perfect on the day with his two-point converts, going 8-8. By the time the final whistle sounded, the Shellbrook Aardvarks had pulled off a 64-14 win.

It was a good start to the year for the team from W.P. Sandin, who hope to build on this momentum when they travel to Wakaw for their next regular season game on September 26.

World Rabies Day - September 28

World rabies day was started in 2007 to raise awareness of rabies internationally. Around the world thousands of people die of rabies each year, often infected by dog bites.

In Canada rabies is no longer circulating among dogs, primarily due to vaccination of pets. However, rabies is present in skunks and occasionally found in bats in Saskatchewan.

Rabid skunks and bats that come into contact with people and animals can transmit the rabies virus.

Rabies is a viral disease that causes a fatal brain infection. It is transmitted when saliva from an infected animal is transmitted to another mammal, either through a bite or a lick on broken skin or mucous membranes. Once clinical signs develop, death will occur; therefore, prevention is truly the best medicine.

Rabies vaccination is very effective. People can be protected by making sure the animals they are in close contact with are vaccinated against rabies. Rabies vaccine can only be administered by a veterinarian. This is so the handling and storage is properly done to maintain vaccine effectiveness and so accurate records are kept. If an animal is exposed to rabies, a vaccination record is an important document. If the exposed animal is fully vaccinated, a rabies booster is

all that is required. If the exposed animal is not fully vaccinated, euthanasia or a long-term quarantine is needed to ensure the animal does not develop rabies and infect people.

Vaccination can be given to dogs and cats as young as 3 months of age. A booster is needed 1 year later. Then, depending on the specific vaccine used, a booster is required every 1 to 3 years. If the animal is fully vaccinated they are very unlikely to get rabies, even if bitten by a rabid animal.

Livestock and horses can also be vaccinated. All pet dogs and cats should be vaccinated. Consideration should be given to vaccination of animals like farm cats, horses and 4-H animals in regular contact with children, as children may not always report a bite or scratch.

Any domestic animal showing unusual behaviour should be observed closely and veterinary advice should be sought.

If an animal dies after a short illness, with signs of aggressive behaviour (furious rabies) or unusual withdrawal (dumb rabies), or other neurological signs such as stumbling, or unable to stand, report this to a veterinarian. Each year in Saskatchewan a dog, cat, horse or cow is confirmed to have rabies. These animals have often been in contact with people.

In those cases, Public Health will follow up with the people

September 27, 2013

and provide post-exposure rabies treatment to prevent the disease from developing.

Biting dogs rarely have rabies, so usually they are observed for a 10-day period. If they are still alive and healthy after 10 days, you can rest assured they did not have rabies at the time of the bite.

Because rabies does occur in wildlife, stay away from wildlife that are acting strangely or allow you to approach them. This is not normal behaviour and could indicate they have rabies. If a wild animal aggressively attacks, report this to both Public Health and a conservation officer. The animal should be tested for rabies.

What if your dog is always on a leash or your cat stays indoors? Do you still need to vaccinate them for rabies? Yes! Dogs being walked on a leash have been attacked by rabid skunks. Indoor cats have caught rabid bats. In one case, a new kitten was introduced to a house with resident unvaccinated cats. The kitten developed rabies a few days later and all of the cats were exposed.

Every pet dog, cat and ferret should be protected from rabies. This will protect their health and yours.

Fall blooming perennials – part I -by Erl SvendsenThis second half of summer has been great – warm days and nights, the mosquitoes all but disappeared, and I don’t recall any severe storms – at least in Saskatoon and surrounds.But with it being dark in the mornings when I get up for work and then dark by 8:00 pm, I know fall is just around the corner.

And that means many of our trees, shrubs and perennials are about to pack it in for the year.But if you’ve planned it right, there are a number of perennials that come into their own at this time year, adding great hits of colour and texture.

If you have some blank or bland spots in the garden and want to add some pizzazz for next year, some late bloomers may still be available from local garden centres.The sooner you plant them

the better to give them a chance to root in before the ground freezes.

The following are a few to consider.

Joe-pye weed (Eutrochiummaculatum, syn.

Eupatorium maculatum) is just at its peak now.

Driving home today, I saw one that was easily6 feet tall, sporting several 8-inch wide clouds of mauvy-pink blooms.

They prefer growing in full sun with moist soil, even bordering a pond or stream, but will tolerate part shade and drier soils.Plant to the back of the border and consider adding some support so it doesn’t fall over with its top-heavy blooms.An extra bonus is that butterf lies are attracted to the f lowers.

Hardy fall asters (Aster sp.) are some the few fall perennials available in pink, red, lavender and blue cultivars. They typi-

cally reach 18 – 30 inches tall and have dusty dark green leaves.Plant in a location with full sun and well-drained soil.There are several cultivars to choose from.Look for early blooming and resistance to powdery mildew.

In a perennial trial across the prairies coordinated by the Saskatchewan Perennial Society, the following performed well in all locations: ‘Alert’, ‘Little Pink Beauty’ and ‘Purple Dome’. Of these, only ‘Purple Dome’ escaped powdery mildew at all locations over the three-year evaluation.

Stonecrop or sedum (Sedum sp.) are low growing succulents, most rarely reaching more than a few inches tall, although a few reach as high as 12 inches.

Drought and heat tolerant once established, plant in full sun and well drained soil. Blooming time of this group is dependent

on species and cultivar.

However ‘Autumn Joy’ is aptly named, blooming in shades of coopery-red and pink in late August/ early September. ‘Autumn Joy’ is also one of the taller types, but still one to plant near paths and the border’s edge.There are also similar fall-blooming types with coloured (red, maroon) or variegated (white and green) leaves to add an extra dimension throughout the year.

Helenium (Heleniumautumnale; aka Helen’s f lower, false sunf lower, sneezeweed) produces masses of daisy like f lowers in shades of yellow, gold, orange, bronze and maroon with raised, dark centres.In full sun, helenium can reach 3 – 4 feet in height.For best results, plant in well-drained soil but mulch well to retain even soil moisture.Like Joe-pyeweed, this one may need support but new cultivars tend to be sturdier.This is another perennial that attracts butterf lies.

Visit Alanna Carswell at the Shellbrook Public Library or call her at 306-747-3419 if you know, think you know, or need to know. (The last mystery photo was a salt cellar with its dainty spoon.

Not surprisingly, not many people guessed the answer as with the introduction of free flowing salt in 1911, salt cellars were quickly replaced with salt shakers. This means few people alive today would have used them.)

Warning notices help protect you from fraud The very first step when buying insurance, or when you shop for a mortgage, is to verify that the company and the individuals selling it are licensed, says the provincial regulator the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO). Fraud prevention is a top priority for the regulator – and since this problem lurks everywhere, consumers are advised to be especially cautious with insurance, loans and mortgage arrangements.

Fake auto insurance, for example, is an all too common scam.

Remain alert and learn how to spot ‘scammer red flags’ by subscribing to the Warning Notices posted on the FSCO website. These warnings are issued when specific entities are believed to be of concern to the public and the business community. To protect consumers, FSCO says it monitors and investigates, and if noncompliance with legislation and regulations is found, it will take enforcement action.

The next time you seek fi-

nancial services, keep these security tips handy: • Read FSCO’s past Warning Notices at: www.fsco.gov. on.ca/warningnotices.

• Subscribe to receive alerts on future scams and warning notices at: www.fsco.gov. on.ca/subscription.

• Before you purchase any financial services product, check to make sure you are dealing with a licensed company or individual at: www. fsco.gov.on.ca/licencecheck.

• Never sign blank forms.

• Carefully read any contracts or forms that you are asked to sign, and ask questions if you don’t understand something.

• Don’t pay advance fees.

Scammers will usually request up-front fees for various taxes, attorney fees, transaction fees or bribes.

If you’re shopping for auto insurance, here are some additional tips for protecting yourself: • Exercise caution when responding to advertisements that do not provide the name

• Do not pay your auto insurance premium by wire or with an e-mail money transfer.

These are not common practices in the insurance industry.

• Do not pay a referral fee.

Licensed insurance agents and brokers do not generally charge you fees.

• If an agent or broker completes a form on your behalf, check it for accuracy. By signing the contract, you are agreeing to the statements made to the insurance company.

FSCO reminds consumers that if they purchase insurance from agents or companies that are not licensed in the province, they’re not protected under the Ontario Insurance Act. In addition, consumers

should not use the services of an unlicensed mortgage brokerage, broker or agent, as they will not be protected under the Mortgage Brokerages, Lenders and Administrators Act, 2006, a law that holds this sector to specific standards.

Estelle’s happiest moments were spent in the company of her family, her large extended family as well as her friends. Estelle enjoyed beating all of us in scrabble, making and giving her precious quilts and working in her ever growing flower beds. She enjoyed a good game of canasta with her card buddies and was more than a little competitive. And let us not forget her love of her church and the many hours she spent celebrating mass and life with all around her.

Green between the lines - Riders lose three in a row

By Jon Svec The Saskatchewan Roughriders let another close game get away from them on Sunday, September 22 when the B.C. Lions came to town. They suited up for the game without their star running back Kory Sheets, who was sidelines with a leg injury. The absence of Sheets meant a tweak to their gameplan, and they came out with some wrinkles that seemed to work early but failed to evolve throughout the game.

The Riders went back to using a few of the old tricks that helped them succeed early in the season. They used a lot of double tight end sets and a lot of quads formations that saw four wide receivers line up on the same side of centre.

These seemed to be tactics meant to help protect quarterback Darian Durant in the passing game, and worked fairly well early in the contest.

They also took to using a lot of quick game that saw Durant handle the snap and pop off quick passes to hooking receivers for short gains. These plays seemed to do well on first downs in lieu of a Kory Sheets running game, making for some manageable second down situations.

Chris Garrett did what he could subbing in for Sheets at the running back spot. The ground game was non-existent, but he did well coming out of the backfield in the passing game, and made a stellar play at the end of the first half to haul in a touchdown. Two times throughout the game, however, Durant fumbled the ball when trying to mesh with the back on a handoff. The Riders lost the ball both times, and while it is often hard to tell who is at fault during these botched exchanges, the lack of

game reps by the new back is an easy target for the blame.

The Riders also came into the game with a plan to use motion by the wide receivers in order to create some confusion in the Lions’ secondary. They played around with the concept of a sin-

often reverted to tricky or subtle blitzes that sometimes forced their defensive backs to cover for too long. It seemed as though, at times, they were sending linebackers only when their running backs stayed in to block, creating some blitzing opportunities but also allowing the Li-

gle wide receiver side, adding receivers late or taking them away to create specific matchups. This tactic did well to free up some room and to dictate certain coverages.

Defensively the Riders continued to use heavy pressure at times, though perhaps not often enough. Instead, they

ons to dictate the pressure. This seemed to be the call when linebacker Carlos Thomas came in late with a free run at quarterback Thomas DeMarco for the sack. The read and react aspect of the play creates a delayed blitz that can be effective if given enough time to develop.

As the minutes ticked off the clock and

the score remained close late into the contest, it seemed as though the Riders would have done well to combine their two concepts and pull off a big play.

After running a litany of short routes, a pump-and-go seemed to be the logical progression, and their double tight formation would have done well to give Durant the necessary time to pull it off.

Alas, they never went to it, and seemed to let a golden opportunity slip away.

The refs continued to throw laundry at questionable hits on the quarterback.

The Riders were busted for a few, but the Lions committed one of their own on a third down play with under a minute left that gave the Riders new life. A few plays later Durant hit Dressler in the end zone for a score that would pull the Riders up by one with 38 ticks on the clock.

Starting with good field position after the kickoff, the Lions were allowed to complete a couple deep outs that put them in field goal range, setting up a game winning kick by Paul McCallum.

It was confusing to see the lack of downfield attempts by the Riders in the contest. It seemed as though they failed to cash in on the investment of short hooks. It was like watching a boxer work the body for an entire bout, setting up the haymaker and never letting one fly.

Chris Milo continues to struggle with his field goals after being so automatic for most of the year. Two more pinged off the goalpost in this game, six points that would have made the difference.

Following the 24-22 loss, the Riders have another tough week of practice ahead of them before travelling to Montreal to take on the Alouettes on Sunday, September 29.

AWANA coming to Parkside

The Parkside Pentecostal and Immanuel Lutheran churches have teamed up to offer an exciting non-denominational kids club in Parkside at the Heritage Centre on Thursdays from 6:30- 8pm starting in October.

AWANA gets its name from 2 Timothy 2:15, and stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed. Found in 105 countries, the 1,142,977 AWANA participants globally can attest to the success of the program. Over 400 groups operate in Canada alone. At AWANA kids are encouraged to learn biblical truths in an environment that encourages both leadership and team work. Three different age groups will run on the same night: “Cubbies” (age 3 & 4), “Sparkies” (Kindergarten to grade 2) and “T&T” (grades 3-6).

The decision to start an AWANA club came after a season of boys club in Parkside last school year, put together

by Pastor Chris and Pastor Dave with the help of some enthusiastic community members. A girls club also met on occasion, which was received with enthusiasm as well.

“This is really just a continuing effort from last year,” offered Pastor Dave. “We started an after school boys club in

Parkside and the community response was great. It wasn’t long before we were scrambling for activities that were fun and engaging and could be tied back into biblical teaching.”

Pastor Chris feels that, “AWANA provides a format that is easy to follow, adaptable to all group sizes and ages, and has a strong foundation in biblical teaching. It takes the pressure off and allows us to focus on what’s important, developing meaningful relationships and building strong communities.” He added, “I like the way AWANA makes everything fun. A good part of the evening is dedicated to group games and activities that are very fun and exciting.”

There is a cost to putting together a club like AWANA and the organization committee has been hard at work putting together the seed funding to get the group going.

“There were a few donations from community members last Spring that paid the initial registration to the AWANA ministry, and we raised about $400 running a penny carnival at the Shellbrook Street Fair in August, which is being used to order the initial supplies,” said Linda Hunt, AWANA enthusiast and secretary for the group. The rest

Government invests in community rinks Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty announced today the Community Rink Affordability Grant, originally launched in September 2012, will be offered in 2013.

The Community Rink Affordability Grant provides communities, schools, non-profits and First Nations who register with a $2,500 grant per indoor ice surface. For example, a rink containing both an indoor skating surface and an indoor curling surface could register for two grants worth $5,000.

“Last year, our government invested nearly $1.7 million in 554 facilities in 387 communities,” Doherty said. “This grant is the result of a 2011 election promise and we’re happy to be able to deliver on it once more. That is one of the advantages of our growing province - the ability to invest in sport and recreation facilities.”

The Government of Saskatchewan is

committing $1.7 million to the grant this year, which aligns with the number of applications received the first year.

The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association will again administer and deliver the grant.

“We are pleased to partner with the Government of Saskatchewan again this year on this initiative,” Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association President Darrell Lessmeister said.

“These funds will certainly help sustain community rinks across the province. We received plenty of positive feedback from community members affected by this grant and hoped the Government of Saskatchewan would choose to fund the program again.”

To register, please complete the online form on the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association’s website at www.spra. sk.ca/crag.

of the funds will come from a nominal registration fee of $10/child (to a maximum of $40/family). The actual cost to run AWANA is in fact just over $30 per child, and includes a uniform, achievement awards and a study/work book for each child, but the reality is that such a cost can prevent some kids from being able to sign-up, especially for households with several kids. “It’s not about the money, and we want to keep it that way,” asserts Linda. Pastor Dave adds, “In the end, we believe the kids in our communities are worth investing in, and we have seen that we are not alone in that belief. Support so far has been good and we look forward to hearing from more folks who want to help out.”

Interest from the community has been strong and initial registrations are expected to be as high as 20 kids, but the hope is to grow as the year goes on. Everyone is welcome to check it out.

AVAILABLE BACHELORETTE This pretty brunette at 47, 5'6”, 132lbs has her hands full with two daughters, a farm she leases, a thriving business and several employees.

“Who would want me!” she said laughing.

“He is going to have to be a man who can handle a full life.”

I will take time for the right person. I don’t have to be at work, my employees can handle things without me.

Managing the farm takes a bit of work & I need to be there for the girls. I see myself with a man who is supportive, maybe a farmer who is looking for a family life. I have dated some, but not much. I really do need a man from a similar background as me. My dad still lives on our farm & I need a man who is close to his family as well.

Debden’s Craig Leverton joins the P.A. Raiders ... We are just thrilled to have him playing close to home here. There are going to be lots of people going to every one of his games.”

One of Leverton’s biggest fans, Ghislaine Cyr, is especially excited to be able to watch her grandson play. “We get to see a lot more games this way,” she said. “We’ve got our season tickets already.”

While many in the community are excited about Leverton’s return to this part of the country, few are surprised at the success he has achieved so far in his hockey career.

Jean claims that even as a young player, Leverton always showed flashes of his potential. “He was a good Leverton suited up for the Prince Albert Raiders in their home opener kid, a hard worker,” Jean on September 21 when they defeated the Saskatoon Blades 6-5. said. “He always stuck out. to be honest,” Leverton Hurricanes. “We’re really He always showed that he

Ghislaine Cyr certainly echoes the sentiment that Leverton was all about

hockey from day one. “I think he was born with a hockey stick, that guy,” she said. “When he played his minor hockey, he was definitely one of the better players. Then he moved on to play for Warman and then Saskatoon, and then got drafted. It’s very exciting.”

Leverton himself has fond recollections of his early playing days. “Playing hockey in Debden was so much fun, it was just going out with your buddies on the outdoor rink or in the arena or whatever.

During the winter time it was all about hockey all the time,” he said. “The main thing growing up in a small community like Debden and playing hockey with my friends there was how much fun it can be, and how meaningful it can be ... Just putting on your skates and a jersey of your favourite hockey team, and going out on the outdoor rink and messing around with your buddies for hours on end.”

His success on the ice has turned him into somewhat of a local hero. “(Debden is) a very sports minded community, and the community is really behind their players,” Cyr said.

Leverton has served as a good example to young hockey players in Debden who need someone to look up to, and to show that success in the sport is attainable with hard work and the right mindset.

“He’s always been a real gentleman when he comes back to town,” added Jean.

In his two seasons with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, the 5’10’’ 194 pound forward logged 103 games, registering 12 goals and 17 assists. Just as he is excited to be closer to home, Leverton is looking forward to his fresh start on the ice with his new team.

“The guys are great, all of them,” he said. “The first day that I got here they were really nice, they came up and introduced themselves and kind of showed me the ropes.

When you’ve got guys like that on the team it really helps you make your way onto the team and feel wanted.”

Leverton is happy in his new role, and rather than focusing on future goals, he is choosing to make the most of his present situation. “I try not to think too far ahead, just enjoy the time I’m having here with the Raiders ... To play with the team that you always grew up watching and cheering for, it’s pretty special.”

“As long as he is happy and doing well, that’s the main thing. The bonus is that we get to see him more often,” commented Cyr. “Since he was little, (playing hockey) was his dream. It’s great that he’s able to follow his dream, and he goes wherever it takes him.”

And for now, at least, it has taken him home.

Bylaw enforcement continues trial run in Shellbrook In May of this year, the Town of Shellbrook embarked on a trial run with EPS Management Services Inc., a bylaw enforcement agency out of Prince Albert. It was to be a six month trial which we are still in the midst of, and partway through the experiment some have begun to notice a change. “I find that when I go for a walk, people’s yards are a lot cleaner.

It’s nicer,” commented Shellbrook Town Administrator Kelly Hoare.

Aside from issuing citations, the mere presence of the bylaw enforcement officers has seemed to act as a deterrent for potential infractions. “The bylaw enforcement officer said to me that he’ll go hang out at the end of

Main Street, and the people see him quite quickly and they behave,” Kelly Hoare said.

In the month of August, EPS Management Services had officers in town for a total of 13.5 hours, spread sporadically throughout the month to avoid developing a pattern. During this time, patrols were conducted down all streets and accessible alleyways.

There were also school zone patrols, and compliances for parking were monitored. The officer had one interaction with a ratepayer concerning nuisance abatement bylaws, and the situation is being monitored. The officer dealt with 13 vehicles parked on the wrong side of the street,

and all instances were quickly remedied. There were two interactions involving vehicles crossing the yellow centre line on Main Street. Nine unhitched trailers that were left on the street were addressed, and all were quickly remedied. The officer had two interactions with pet owners concerning their dogs being at large, and both were informed of the bylaw. The same situation occurred once with a cat.

The officer also interacted with the RCMP concerning a dog attack.

Following the six month trial period, an assessment will be made by Town Council to determine whether or not to continue with the bylaw enforcement agency.
