Big River FN opens Centre of Excellence Increased post secondary education opportunities are abound on the Big River First Nation following the opening of the Sergeant Darby Morin Centre of Excellence September 20. The centre, named for a band member who died while serving in Afghanistan as a member of the US Army, will provide post secondary opportunities ranging from commercial cooking to a Masters of Education program. Morin’s widow, Veronica was on hand with their two sons Blue Sky and Christian to cut the ribbon on the new centre. “He would be so honoured. I’m just imagining the look on his face. I think its more than he would have expected,” said Morin. Big River First Nation Chief Bruce Morin said that the facility was born out of necessity. They began offering some post secondary programing about 10 years ago but they had a difficult time providing a full-time home for the program. With a growing need for skilled labour and professionals, the reserve wanted increase its training opportunities. Applications were made for funding to build a facility and the provincial government came through with $2.1 million in funding through the Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF). In all, the project cost came to $2.7 million with $400,000 coming from the band coffers. The project not only provides long term training and employment opportunities but it also made for more than 9,000 person hours of employment for community members. Project initiation, project management and financial accounting services came through the Thickwood Hills Business Learning Network. The Centre of Excellence contains a computer laboratory and two large classrooms with distance education capacity and on-site programs delivered by the University of Saskatchewan and other institutions. An ITEP Bachelor of Education program is wrapping up this spring while a Master of Education program will begin in January. The centre also offers the first two years of a Registered Nursing degree program which has 42 students currently enrolled. The centre also offers commercial cooking directed at camp work, a laundry and a sewing centre. A restaurant and catering service will be operated out of the school to help offset the building’s operating costs. Continued on page 3

A long time community volunteer was once again recognized for his contributions to Shellbrook and region at a Saskatoon ceremony last week. . Richard Porter received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal at ceremony at the Delta Bessborough in Saskatoon, September 19. Ceremony emcee, Saskatchewan Chief of Protocol Jason Quilliam read this about Porter, “For many years, Mr. Richard Porter has devoted his time and energy to his community, province, country, and humanity. He has been a businessman, leader and a mentor; and is well respected by everyone who has had the opportunity to know and work with him. He has supported more than 25 boards and committees over the years. Mr. Porter’s motto is “Think Global, Act Local.” Porter found out that he was chosen to receive the honour after receiving a letter from Premier Brad Wall’s office requesting his pres-

ence at the event. “It was a good feeling. You kind of accept it on behalf of all the organizations that you’ve worked with and the people you’ve worked with,” said Porter. Porter is most noted locally as the long time fund raising chair for the Shellbrook and Districts Health Services Project. Through this organization he was instrumental in fund raising efforts for a new Shellbrook Hospital while also lobbying government to grant approval for a facility to be built. “I fought lots of battles for (the Shellbrook Hospital) for quite a few years. The good part is that we won. I don’t mind a battle as long as I can win it,” said Porter. During Porter’s tenure as Reeve of the RM of Canwood, the RM built the province’s only Specific Risk Material pit at the Highway 55 land fill. Porter has also been a director of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural

Municipalities (SARM) and also served as Transportation Chair of the Clearing the committee – a body responsible for establishing a network of primary weight roads throughout the province. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee began in February 2012, in celebration of the 60 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The Royal Canadian Mint created 60,000 medals, which will be awarded to outstanding Canadians of all ages and from all walks of life, across the country. “The Queen has chosen the theme of service for this milestone year, and so it is most appropriate that Canada created a Diamond Jubilee Medal, which celebrates both Her Majesty’s lifetime of service and the outstanding contributions of deserving citizens,” Solomon Schofield said. “On behalf of our sovereign, I thank each medal recipient for their commitment to the greater good.”

Charges laid in 2001 homicide Four people have been charged with second degree murder in connection with the 2011 death of Christian bird on the Ahtahkakoop First Nation. On May 1, 2011, Bird was found by passers by about 50 feet from the shore, clinging to a piece of ice in

Sandy Lake. The passerby alerted an RCMP officer, who was responding to what would later be determined to be a related disturbance. RCMP entered the water and pulled him to shore. He was pronounced dead a short time later.

Three of the four people charged were youths at the time of the offence and their names can not be published. The fourth person was Dannie Justin Knife, 19, of Prince Albert. All four were alos charged with crinminal negligence causing death.

Tax relief a propriety Our government’s focus continues to be the economy. We are particularly interested in keeping money where it belongs – in the pockets of hard-working Canadians. Our Harper government has introduced numerous measures designed to provide tax relief for families, providing more money for active lifestyles, public transportation, education and savings. Among the initiatives brought to the fore by our government is the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, which provides a tax credit of up to $500 relating to the cost of registering a child for physical activities such as hockey, baseball, dance or gymnastics. This program not only saves money for families but also encourages physical activity among our youth, a vital part of childhood development. Another fundamental element in a child’s growth is the nurturing of creativity. The ability to express oneself through art and litera-

ROB CLARK ~ Desnethé Mississippi Churchill River ture is a crucial component in the formation of a fully realized adult. The Children’s Art Tax Credit provides $500 in tax relief for artistic, cultural, recreational or developmental activity. The Public Transit Tax Credit encourages the use of public transportation with a tax credit for those who purchase passes of one month or longer, rewarding the use of shared conveyance and bringing its resultant benefit to the environment.

TOWN OF SHELLBROOK CLEAN-UP WEEKS The Town of Shellbrook has declared the weeks of

October 3rd to October 13th, 2012

as Clean-Up Weeks. The Town’s landfill site will be open on Wednesdays, October 3rd and October 10th from Noon to 8:00 pm as well as on Saturdays, October 6th and October 13th from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm to receive only the following: clean wood, and compost such as leaves, grass clippings, garden refuse and tree trimmings. Residents of the Town of Shellbrook will not be charged the regular landfill access fee during these four days. Should residents of the Town not be able to get their excess materials to the landfill with their own resources, Delbert Grimm is prepared to pick it up for a fee. Please make arrangements by calling 747-3637 for pickup arrangements.

The Tuition, Education and Textbook Tax Credits provide relief for post-secondary students and their families, as well as apprentices and those who must pay to complete certification examinations. Considering the cost of education, every dollar counts for students and their families and an additional exemption is provided in regard to scholarships, fellowships and bursaries, ensuring that these bestowments are not counted as taxable income. The Student Loan Tax Credit provides tax relief on the interest paid on loans by post-secondary education, a significant measure in putting graduates on the right path following their schooling. The Registered Education Savings Plan provides incentives for investment in post-secondary education by giving tax relief to amounts set aside for this purpose. With programs geared toward post-secondary education we can ensure that Canada remains on the forefront of innovation and the modern economy. By keeping money in the pockets of taxpayers, we improve life for all Canadians. As always, I look forward to your letters, e-mails and calls.

Continued from page 1 According to Chief Morin, the centre will allow the first nation to stretch their post secondary education budget. “It costs money to send kids to the city and by bringing it here we are able to stretch our dollar further and get more people into post secondary programs,” said Chief Morin. Approximately $1 million is budgeted annually for band members attending post secondary institutions. Typically that budget allows 75 to 80 band members to attend university but it is expected that with more students attending school on reserve more youth will have the opportunity to go to school. With students staying on reserve to take advantage of local opportunities, they are able to cut out the cost of rent and travel. Current programing draws band members from surrounding first nations and are open aboriginals and non-aboriginals alike. “We’ve been trying to get the message out that this is not just for the people of Big River First Nation, it is for

the surrounding reserves and the surrounding communities,” said Chief Morin. Acting Chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) Morley Watson believes that the on reserve model will not only help students get into school but also complete their program. “A lot of times, when our young people go to train in the cities there is the transition, there’s housing shortages, there’s so many issues. But if we have them right here in our First Nation communities it betters he chances of successful completion of the different trades that they are going to be offering here,” said Acting Watson.

Various dignitaries from the provincial government and FSIN attended the grand opening event and brought greetings from their respective organizations. “This facility will assist local people in developing and improving their skills and training to contribute to the local economy and help them seize the opportunities available in our province today,” Saskatchewan Rivers MLA Nadine Wilson said on behalf of Economy Minister Bill Boyd. “Big River First Nation is leading the way in diversifying economic growth in the region and the Government of Saskatchewan is happy to support this project.”

No deterrent in a conditional sentence It has taken more than a year but the first of the 2011 Stanley Cup rioters who were charged for their part in the destruction of downtown Vancouver are being brought to justice... well sort of. Alexander Pennington, 22, was caught on tape repeatedly entering The Bay store to grab tables and ad banners to add to the chaotic destruction out on the street. He was also viewed stealing perfume from a London Drugs store on a couple of occasions while store staff had locked themselves in a basement security in fear of the rioters. For his role in the riot, Pennington got a six month conditional sentence and two years of BRAD probation. DUPUIS In other words, he has to make sure he doesn't get caught doing ~ anything stupid that would get News him thrown in jail to avoid having his initial sentence tacked onto that. I say, way to go judge. Way to instill fear into the hearts of those who may find themselves caught up in a similar situation where everybody's doing it and there seem to be no consequences. This judge basically proved that there really weren't any. A conditional sentence gives the offender a pass for what they did. Sure they come out of the situation with a criminal record and the conditions of the sentence and accompanying probation may cramp their lifestyle, if they abide by them, but that is the extent of their punishment. Some may see it as the close call that made them realize that their decisions have consequences while others may look at it as a freebee. Giving this kid a week in jail, combined with probation, and there's a pretty darn good chance that this guy isn't going to make the same mistake. He's going to get out of jail after seven days of avoiding contact with other inmates and seven nights of crying himself to sleep and tell his friends about the worst week of his life. Hopefully that would resonate with the crowd and they all decide to never do something so stupid again. But with the conditional sentence this guy gets to go home to his mom's basement, play some Call of Duty and laugh with his buddies while reminiscing about trashing stores,burning stuff in a flame engulfed car and how he almost went to jail. I'm not saying that property crimes, such as this, are not worthy of conditional sentences. I'm saying that sentences like these for crimes such as this one are sending the wrong message. One of the basic purposes of incarceration is to prevent would-be criminals from breaking the law. With that off the table, where is the deterrent? The Vancouver Stanley Cup riot happened because the participants felt they could get away with it. This particular verdict proved them right.

Shellbrook Chronicle Polling Question

YOUR TWO CENTS ~

Editor: I found the front page article “Reserve Schools Await Funding” (SP August 5, 2012) to be yet another reminder of the short sightedness of the “devolution to band operation of schools” direction taken by successive federal governments starting in the 1960s. Initially the Canadian government and churches partnered to run residential schools in Canada. Subsequently, the government operated day schools on reserves. Among other things, a principal objective of these schools, both residential and day schools, was to assimilate First Nations People into European values and standards. We have now learned that efforts in this regard produced serious residential schools’ abuse cases. In addition, we are continuously hearing of scandals when it comes to the mismanagement of funds by Chiefs and Councils and band administrations across Canada, and somewhat sympathize with the federal government being understandably cautious when it comes to writing cheques to First Nations for anything including schools’ management, especially when First Nations Chiefs and Councils and administrators object to being transparent and accountable for the funds. But, our federal government and all of us should not let our vision be so clouded in this regard as to lose sight of another equally if not more important factor. It should be termed the proverbial “elephant in the living room.” Increasingly, Canadian employers are looking abroad for skilled employees. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of First Nations People are right here - but without the fundamental skills that employers want. From the youngest ages, most Canadian youths learn to see schooling as the route to “the good life” for themselves. On the other hand, First Nations youths and their parents and extended family members do not see schools in the same way. As a result and in spite of heroic efforts by school staffs, their school attendance and performance is not good. They grow up to be unskilled, unemployable, dysfunctional and destined to live in poverty with virtually no stake in living by Canadian society’s standards and laws. Consequently they cost the federal government as well as provincial and municipal governments vastly disproportionate amounts in policing and social assistance resources. I submit that while the turning over of management (termed “devolution) of on-reserve affairs by the federal government to First Nations was and may remain somewhat justifiable, management of reserve schools by First Nations falls into a different category and should not have been included. It hasn’t worked and the federal government must intervene and take over schools on reserves. Even if we have little moral conscience and patience in this regard, our simple understanding of economics should move us in another direction. For example, what’s the costbenefit difference between not spending what we currently spend through policing and social services for one First Nations person versus producing an employable, self-sufficient and able-to-contribute member of society?

We met recently with a delegation from Nova Scotia about a new model of care they are using to do just that – Collaborative Emergency Centres, NADINE or CECs. CECs combine primary WILSON and emergency care. ~ Saskatchewan In Nova Scotia, they are typically Rivers open 24 hours a day, seven days a Toll Free: week. 1-888-763-0615 During the day, CECs offer prima- www.nadinewilson.ca ry health care provided by a team of professionals, including doctors and nurses. At night, the team includes a registered nurse and a paramedic with physician oversight. We see the Nova Scotia model as an innovative way to meet the needs of rural and remote communities by improving access to services, reducing wait times and

Over the next couple weeks, the vaccine will become available across the province at public health clinics and doctor’s offices. The vaccine is recommended for high risk groups such as: • People with chronic health conditions; • Anyone 65 and over; • Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities; • Children between the ages of six months and fiveyears-old; • Pregnant women; and • People in close contact with any of the above groups.

Changes to government programs may not make the grade The vision of what government thinks is a good farm safety net and what farmers desire still seem to be decidedly different, not that that is particularly shocking. But governments keep trying nevertheless. Earlier this month federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) Ministers of Agriculture reached agreement on the content of the Growing Forward 2 policy framework for the agriculture, agri-food and agri-products sector, the latest in a long line of government cost-shared ag safety nets which all ultimately seem to be lacking. "The new five-year agreement includes investments in strategic initiatives of over $3 billion for innovation, competitiveness and market development, including a 50 per cent increase in governments' cost-shared initiatives. In addition, governments will continue to deliver a complete and effective suite of Business Risk Management (BRM) programs to ensure farmers are protected against severe market volatility and disasters," detailed an Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada release. "Just as farmers continuously improve their business practices, so too have governments made adjustments to help Canada remain a world leader in agricultural innovation and trade," said Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz in the release. "Growing Forward 2 will help drive economic growth and long-term prosperity through agricultural innovation and market development, while also ensuring governments continue to share the risk of severe market volatility and disasters." Of course you would not expect Ritz to do less than rave

about an agreement he was a signatory too. No politician admits the shortfall within their program. Even with the Gross Revenue Insurance Program (GRIP) of the late 1980s, which was one of the most maligned farm support programs ever formulated, politicians of the day would have called it the answer to farmers needs. CALVIN Certainly aspects of the program have to be seen as positive. Even DANIELS GRIP had its positives. In the case of ~ the Growing Forward 2 initiative the additional 50 per cent funding for innovation, competitiveness and market development has to be a good thing. There is an obvious benefit to being innovative, although not all innovation works either. Pea-based snack chips, flax fibre for manufacturing processes, super-compressed hay bales for export to Japan, and strawboard all ideas that were innovative and made logical sense but could not make money in the marketplace. So having government footing some of the bills in exploring new ideas and developing markets is a good place for some taxpayer investment. But others see flaws before the ink is even dry on the deal. The "announcement of the revised Growing Forward 2 Business Risk Management (BRM) programs, the costshared federal-provincial policy framework, has two sig-

Fall is the time for soil testing BY LYNDON HICKS, REGIONAL CROPS SPECIALIST

Canadian Wheat Board news CWB has expanded all grade and protein bands for farmer deliveries of hard red spring wheat and durum to its pools. Farmers will now find it easier to choose their contracted grade, and face significantly less risk of misgrade on deliveries. All current grade bands have been adjusted, and protein bands are now much wider. A new chart outlining the deliverable bands and payment ranges has been posted on the CWB Web site under the "Farmers" tab (www.cwb.ca/edp). However, CWB advises that accurate contracting will assist farmers with delivery opportunity and help ensure smooth service at the elevator. There is no charge for producers to change contracts to improve grade or protein accuracy within the deliverable band. CWB reminds farmers that sign-up for its Early Delivery Pool will close this week. This pool provides farmers with an opportunity for earlier guaranteed delivery (before January 31) and earlier final payment, as well as all the benefits that pooling can provide in a volatile marketplace. Farmers who pool their grain continue to benefit if prices rise after they sign their contracts. CWB experts handle all sales planning, execution, foreign exchange, risk management and guarantees payments on behalf of participating farmers - all in one simple contract.

Fall is an excellent time for soil testing. It gives the producer more time to assess their 2013 fertilizer management plan without compromising soil test accuracy. Fall soil sampling generally gives enough time to sample the fields, order nitrogen fertilizer, and fall-band before the soil freezes up. Producers, who apply all their fertilizer in the spring, can continue soil testing late into the fall. After mid-September, soil nutrients can be accurately measured. The availability of soil nutrients fluctuates with many factors, including soil temperature. It’s preferable to wait until the soil temperature has cooled to below ten degrees Celsius. When the soil cools down, the mineralization of nitrogen (N) also slows down considerably. Mineralization is the process whereby N in organic form is converted to plant-available form by soil microbial activity. The time of sampling is less critical for soil phosphate (P2O5), potassium (K2O), and other nutrients. Soil testing involves three steps: collecting, analyzing, and recommending. At its most basic, soil testing involves collecting soil samples that best represent that field; choosing a lab to analyze; and developing nutrient recommendations from the analysis. Getting the most from a soil test requires collecting a representative soil sample, identifying a laboratory whose analysis and recommendation philosophy conforms with the producers’ nutrient management objectives, and providing that laboratory with all the pertinent information they require. Tips to successful fall soil testing: 1) Know your field history - make sure your sample is representative. 2) Take enough samples - Min 15-20 per quarter. May need more if field is highly variable. 3) Keep the sample cool - Send to lab as soon as possible while maintaining a stable cool temperature. 4) Avoid hot spots - a hot spot refers to a small pocket of soil with high nutrient densities. 5) Contact your lab of choice prior to sampling - different labs have different protocols and sampling techniques. The analysis techniques and recommendation philosophies differ with each individual laboratory. However, they all use the best technology and information required to analyze and make recommendations.

The quality of the laboratory analysis and the accuracy of the recommendations will depend on the quality of the soil sample and the information the producer provides about that field, including the previous crop grown and crop selection options for the next growing season.

nificant changes: a loss level trigger for AgriStability that will make it difficult, if not impossible, for most farms to obtain support under the program; and a clear decision by governments to seek out private insurance options to fill the gaps in public farm safety net programs," stated a National Farmers Union release. In the release NFU Terry Boehm said, “from these changes, along with the ongoing destruction of institutional arrangements that have protected farmers, it is increasingly clear that the current government’s intent is to abandon public support for the agriculture sector, and instead let those with the most market power determine the shape and goals of Canada’s food and agriculture system.” He added, “By going along with the federal government’s proposals, provincial governments have also signaled that they are not interested in the vibrancy of the agricultural community, nor does it matter to them who produces the food that Canadians eat.” And therein lies the rub for governments. Farming by its very nature is extremely diverse, and becoming more diverse all the time. What works for a salmon farmer in British Columbia may not work for a wheat grower in Saskatchewan, a beef farmer in Alberta, or a potato farmer in Prince Edward Island. So what does that mean for the latest deal? Like its predecessors it will work for many farmers in many situations. It will also have holes, which means some farmers will need support and will fall through the cracks. Time will tell just how many holes the new deal has.

Gold Rush in Canwood

Canwood Community Public School Gold Medal Team, left to right, Grant Person (coach), Paige Benson, Brennan Tomporowski, Nik Person, Steven Adrian, Quenelle Bear.

The Canwood Community Public School hosted the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association’s Provincial Sand Green Golf Championship on September 21st and 22nd. The weather co-operated with blue skies as the province’s sand green golfers assembled at the Canwood Regional Park golf course. Golfers from Canwood, Strasbourg, Waldheim, Bengough, Fronteir, Hanley, Fort Qu’Appelle, Hodgeville, Grenfell, Dinsmore, Mossbank and Raymore attended the 2 day, 36 hole event. The weekend began with teams playing practice rounds on Thursday. Participants were greeted on Friday morning with a pancake breakfast ,followed by opening ceremonies. The ceremonies consisted of introductions of the participants, welcomes from the SHSAA Executive Director Kevin Vollet, Principal Harriet Tomporowski and Sask. Rivers School Division superintendent Alan Nunn. Bob Thompson was also awarded the SHSAA’s Outstanding Coach Award at the opening ceremonies. After the opening 18 holes, the golfers attended a banquet at the school gym. Everyone re-assembled on Saturday morning for the 10am shotgun start to begin Day 2. After the last putt was made

September 28, 2012

on Saturday the medals were awarded. In the Female Individual category, Paige Benson from Canwood posted the low score of 190. This earned her the Gold medal. The Silver and Bronze medals went to Amanda Gonsch of Strasbourg and Dakota Christie from Grenfell. The Male Individual category was a Canwood sweep. Nik Person’s score of 162 topped the field which gave him the gold medal. Brennan Tomporowski was awarded the silver medal with a score of 169. Steven Adrian needed a par on the 36th hole to pull him into a tie for the bronze medal with Dinsmore’s Daniel Martin. Their score was 171. The Team Event went to the Canwood team. Their gold medal combined score was 680. Team silver went to Strasbourg with a 716 and the bronze went to Dinsmore with their score of 800. The Championship went off without a hitch. This was mainly due to the great support of volunteers who acted as facilitators that were assigned to each foursome, students who matted the greens for the golfers, and volunteers who assisted with the breakfast and the banquet. The Canwood Community Public School greatly appreciates the assistance of these people.

Members of the canoe trip to Prince Albert National Park.

Grade 12 class Outdoor Ed trip The Canwood Community Public School’s grade 12 class embarked upon their annual canoe trip to Kingsmere Lake and Grey Owl’s cabin during the Labour Day Weekend. 10 students and 3 chaperones loaded up the trucks at 7am on August 31 and travelled up to the Prince Albert National Park. After a brief session at the park office, the group loaded up the canoes on the portage headed north onto Kingsmere Lake. The first night was spent at Bladebone Bay on the northwest corner of the lake. The east wind on Saturday morning gave the canoers a test of their paddling skills. The students manoeuvered their canoes through the 2 ½ foot waves to get to the North End campsite. After the camp was

set up, everyone made their way to Grey Owl’s cabin. The fishing was great which allowed everyone to have their fill later on. The rain and the wind picked up later in the day. A web of tarps was tied in the trees to guard against the south wind and rain showers coming off of the lake. The adverse weather continued throughout Sunday. Monday’s paddle began into wind and big waves. After a challenging 2 hour paddle to the west of the lake, the shoreline offered shelter from the wind. The last night was spent at South End. The trip concluded Tuesday afternoon back at school with everyone being tired and smelling of campfires.

PAPHR meeting highlights

The Prince Parkland RHA board of directors heard about efforts to enhance the quality of care and patient experience in the Obstetrics Department at the Victoria Hospital during the regular meeting held September 12, 2012 in Prince Albert. Angie Emmerson, the Nursing Unit Manager for the Obstetrics Department at the Victoria, outline challenges for patient care, including space and patient room capacity, acuity of care, high-risk patients and training new staff. With the focus on patient safety and quality of care, Emmerson said physicians and staff are working on improved medication reconciliation (knowing what medications patients are taking, and ensuring accuracy at all steps of care); patients and family centred care (such as flexible visiting hours) and; safe sleep policies for newborns. “One area that is a major concern is the lack of prenatal care,” Emmerson told the board of directors. “Moms are coming in that have had very little or no prenatal care, which creates challenges for them and our physicians and staff members.” She said that improved access to prenatal care increases awareness about what patients can expect, which helps reduce anxiety – especially for a first pregnancy. Other risk factors for care include: • Patients with pre-existing and gestational diabetes (assisted by the Combined Diabetic Antenatal Clinic); • Patients with addictions, which often involves multidisciplinary involvement including community resources to improve care for baby and mom; • Obese patients; and • Young moms. One success Emmerson discussed was the partnership with Family Futures, who work with their clients while they are in the hospital. This additional support benefits the mother, baby and family, and assists in the transition home. There has also been improvement through the Patient Care Coordinator Unit, which works with patients, particularly

high-risk patients, where additional community support is required. *** The RHA’s annual general meeting was held at the John M. Cuelenaere Public Library in Prince Albert on the evening of Sept. 12th. The meeting included a presentation by CEO Cecile Hunt on the Region’s 2011-2012 Annual Report to the Minister of Health, focused on the performance targets including surgical wait times, patient satisfaction, patient safety and staffing challenges for workplace safety. During her presentation, Hunt also discussed the Region’s strategic priorities for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, and the alignment with provincial priorities. The priorities include: • Enhancing Access to Primary Health Care; • First Line Managers Support in implementation of Continuous Quality Improvement; • Acute Care Patient Flow at the Victoria Hospital, to address access for acute and surgical patients; • Safety initiatives for patients (Medication Reconciliation) and a staff safety plan; and • Information technology projects to support shared services purchasing and human resources information systems A second presentation by Pat Stuart, Vice-President of

Art Voyer seeks election as school trustee Art Voyer has announced he is running for School Trustee with the Sask Rivers Public School Division in Subdivision 4. He has previously served as trustee on this board and welcomes the challenges this position involves. Voyer is currently employed by Tang’s Farm service as a fuel truck driver as well as his work on the family farm. He believes that his past involvement with the school system as chairman of the local board and then trustee on the division board makes him an ideal fit for this position. His best qualification for this position though comes from the fact that he still has a child in the school system and has first hand knowledge of the

Shellbrook Town Council meeting highlights A project to revitalize the Shellbrook Kinsmen Park was given the blessing of the Town of Shellbrook this week. Members of the Shellbrook Kinette Club, President Tasha Cyr and Treasurer Kim Lamotte, made a presentation outlining their plans at the regular meeting of Council Monday. Council passed a motion to provide the club with a letter of support for the project for the purpose of filling out grant applications. The presentation did not include a plea for funds from the Town. The club’s request to be able to issue charitable tax receipts to donors, through the town, was also granted provided Canada Revenue Agency guidelines were properly followed. The club presented plans to replace some of the older equipment at the park while also replacing the concrete border of the playground area. *** Council passed a motion to continue to support the Human Resources at Dr. Nguegno’s clinic by providing two full time Medical Office Assistants on an ongoing basis. *** Council passed a motion to engage Wheatland Builders to supply curb, gutter and sidewalk to the hospital access road at a cost of $135 a lineal metre. *** Council passed a motion to set the annual fall clean up weeks to October 3 to 13. During this period, the Shellbrook Landfill site will be open to yard refuse and tree trimmings. *** Council passed a motion to send letters to property owners who purchased land from the Town in 2010 and 2011 in hopes of collecting GST that was to be charged on the lots. The Town was made aware of this after a recent GST audit. *** October’s meetings of Council have been set for Monday October 15 and Monday October 29.

The rink will open October 9 (the Tuesday following Thanksgiving). Skate club is up and running as of the 10th and hockey the 15th. To keep up with rink schedule updates go to our Google calendar or check the town website under “Recreation”. For rink bookings, please contact myself at 747-4949 or email shellbrookrecdirector@sasktel.net. The Before and After School Program will be having a meeting on the 10th of October. If you would like to join to hear the conversation and even throw in some input, the meeting is at 6:30pm in the Elementary School. I would like to put out a huge thank you to all of the Parent Board who has been putting in a large amount of work. Karen Larsen, Becky Fisher, Carma Smith, Tara Kerber and Stacy Tanchuk have been volunteering their time to ensure the program is a success and without these amazing women, the program may not be running. I also would like to mention that Breanna Skrupski, as program director, has been doing a great job! Thank you everyone. Do not forget to sign up for the SHA Skills of Gold Camp for November 10 & 11. You can register online at www.sha. sk.ca. There is also a coaching clinic on the 9th of November at no cost and you get a free track suit!

A reminder; Fitness with Leeta starts on October 2nd at 7:30pm in the Elementary School gymnasium. Classes go for an hour and include complete exercise routines! Leeta is creative and motivating; she will make you want to move especially if you are feeling like you do not. If you do not feel that you are going to be able to keep up, Leeta is very flexible in her exercise knowledge and can adapt exercises to fit you; all of her classes are welcoming to everyone – including all of you pregnant ladies out there. Classes are $5 drop in or you can purchase 10 passes for $50. If you have not set up with Leeta before, please show up a few minutes early to get yourself acquainted. Weekly Health Tip: You have all probably heard it before, but a reminder as it will not be long until Thanksgiving is here; if you are trying to eat healthier, you can still enjoy a slice of turkey with gravy just try to have smaller portions of the rich yummy foods and larger portions of the surprisingly yummy healthy foods. My personal rule of thumb; fill up on the healthy foods first, then fit whatever room is left with the scrumptious rich foods. Have a great week!

OBITUARY ~ Henry Fabish Henry - 1938 – 2012 Henry Edward Fabish, late of Big River, passed away on September 10, 2012 at the age of 74 years. Henry was born April 29, 1938 at Shipman, SK, on the family farm. He grew up on the farm and took his schooling at a country school just south of Shipman. Henry started working for the government picking rocks on the Hansen Lake road when it was being built. When this job finished he moved to Prince Albert and became a patrol man for the Department of Natural Resources. When he was in the Candle Lake area he met a young lady that had caught his eye at a dance, and on Nov. 16, 1963 Henry and May were married. They then moved to Big River in July of 1967, w when he was transferred to work under field officer Hank Randall. Henry had a passion for fishing, trapping and the bush, over the years he taught the boys to trap and process the fur.

May and Henry both loved nature, and they taught their children to respect nature, only take what you need, don’t damage or litter, and to not leave scars on this earth. When the children were young Henry and May would spend time at Nesslin Lake, and in later years Henry and his family liked to go to Hackett Lake, where they would fish and visit with friends and spend time with his grandchildren. He loved his garden, taking great pride in it, keeping it neat, but mostly he loved beating his neighbor at being the first to feed on potatoes. Henry was always there to support his family, whether it was a hockey game, ball, or curling he drove to many and every event. Henry liked watching the Big River Braves Hockey Team, never missing a game as well as watching curling games, and in the summer watching the Bud Kings playing slow pitch. Right up until Henry fell ill he loved to go to the Esso to have coffee with his buddies, catching up on all the news. His support was evident for everyone, and it showed. He will be remembered by all especially his family for just being there, traveling anywhere to support his friends and family. Henry leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 48 years, May ; his children Barry; Garry (Misty) and their son Sean; Shirley (Martin) and their children Brandon, Britney, Brenden, Evan, and Adam; Grant (Sherlene)and their children Kirsten and Rae-Anne; Marilyn (Guy) and their children Brad and Dane; his sister in-law Sophie Fabish; his brother in-law Allen Hanson. Henry was predeceased by his parents Mr. John and Apolonia (nee: Szynczyk) Fabish; his sisters Mary Hrenyk, Helen Huculak, Frances Kott, Carol Hanson; his brothers Frank, Paul, and Ted Fabish. The Memorial Service for Henry took place on September 15, 2012 in the Big River Community Hall with Jake McCrea as officiant. Cyndi Aarrestad was the soloist, Carmen Daley shared memories of Henry, the Royal Purple had an Honor Guard and Brad Beaulac was the urn bearer. Interment took place in the Big River Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made in memory of Henry to the Big River Braves Hockey Team (Box 429 Big River, SK SOJ OEO) or to the Lakewood Lodge Auxilliary (Box 100 Big River, SK SOJ OEO). Emailed condolences sent to www.beaulacfuneralhome. com will be forwarded to the family. Beau “Lac” Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements.

Coach Chamblin key to earning playoff berth It is clear that if the Saskatchewan Roughriders are going to get back to the CFL playoffs in 2012 after a one year hiatus, it's up to Corey Chamblin to lead them there. The first year head coach snapped his club out of the doldrums in a big way last week by guaranteeing Calgary running back Jon Cornish would not rush for 100 yards when the two teams met Sunday at Mosaic Stadium. It was a brash, bold statement by the rookie sideline boss but it was much like his early-season bravado which guided the team to a 3-0 start. However he pulled his horns in around the start of August, and the club stumbled into a stretch where

ROD PEDERSEN ~

Voice of The Riders they lost six of their next eight games. However last week's brazen guarantee caught everyone's atten-

tion across the CFL and may have even served to fire up both teams. To say the Stampeders were unimpressed by the comment would be an understatement. But they were unable to do anything about it Sunday afternoon as Cornish was limited to 67 yards rushing in a 30-25 Roughrider victory. A ferocious Rider pass-rush served up five sacks and knocked starting Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn out of the game. Are the Riders a better team than Calgary? That's a tough call but they certainly were on this day. The win upped Saskatchewan's record to 6-6 but they still trail the secondplace, Stampeders who fell to 7-5.

These teams won't meet again until a potential playoff showdown as the Stamps won the season series 2-1. Lost in the shuffle on Sunday was the return of quarterback Darian Durant who missed the team's Week 12 loss in Montreal with a hip injury. He was sensational against Calgary, tossing two touchdowns and wasn't responsible for any turnovers. "I told the guys I wanted them to play tough and we got it," Chamblin said after the match. "It was a team effort but Darian Durant looked as good as he has in a long time and I was proud of him. He gave it up today. It was a great team effort in all three phases."

So now we're left guessing what Chamblin has up his sleeve in the way of motivational tactics as the team enters the 2012 stretch drive. The team has six games remaining and now of them will be easy. Again, it will be up to Chamblin to push the right buttons and it begins with a visit from the 9-3 BC Lions next Saturday night in Regina. "Guarantees?" Chamblin quizzed after the game. "I guarantee we'll play a football game here next week against the BC Lions." What happens between now and then will be very interesting. (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)

Calgary's Cornish having unforgettable year The 2012 season in the Canadian Football League is shaping up as one to remember for Jon Cornish of the Calgary Stampeders. The New Westminster, B.C., native, who played his collegiate ball at Kansas but was never drafted by a National Football League club, has been the talk of the CFL through the first half of the season and is zeroing in on some end-of-season awards. Top Canadian? The league office can almost start inscribing his name on the trophy. He won the weekly topCanadian award three consecutive times, which gives him a huge leg up on the competition in that category. Most outstanding player? Has to be considered. Cornish leads the CFL in rushing yards and will almost certainly become the first back to the 1,000yard plateau after his 67 against Saskatchewan Sept. 23 gave him 947. His rushing total is about 130 yards ahead of the No. 2 back, Kory Sheets of Saskatchewan. No Canadian has won the CFL rushing crown since 1988 — almost a quarter of a century. Grey Cup champ? Why not? The Stamps are certainly in the mix in the West, with Cornish and receiver

Nik Lewis leading the offence and a solid 7-5 record through 12 games of the 18-game schedule. Cornish told Allan Cameron of the Calgary Herald that he’s all business on the field. There’s no such thing as friendly banter between the lines once the game is under way, he said. "I play my best when I don't engage with the other team," he told Cameron. "I have absolute appreciation for the things other teams are trying to do. There's nothing disrespectful. But on the field? It's not my prerogative to interact with the other team. I have goals far grander than any single game. So why get caught up in something like that? "They can tackle me and say whatever they want, and I'll just get up and walk away." It’s all adding up to 2012 being a season Cornish won’t soon forget. Neither will the CFL record book. • R. J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “If the White Sox merged with the Red Sox, would they be the Pink Sox?” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “July 2012 was the hottest month ever recorded, according to the Weather Channel. Try telling that to the Astros. They went 3-24.” • Headline at TheOn-

BRUCE PENTON ~ ion.com: "Fireworks now go off every time Astros make an out." • Janice Hough of leftcoastspor tsbabe.com: “Roger Clemens said he only wanted to pitch for the Astros in 2012 if he could pitch against a ‘contender.’ So he can ‘knock them right out of the playoffs.’ And Barry Bonds is thinking – ‘And they thought I had a big head?’ ” • Another one from Currie: “The Ocean (N.J.) high-school football team may forfeit their next game because six players have impetigo (an itchy skin infection). For now, the boys are listed as healthy scratches.” • Gregg Easterbrook, ESPN.com: “The Washington Nationals shut down Stephen Strasburg for 2013, too, saying, ‘We want to be sure his ragweed allergy doesn't act up.’” • Norman Chad, syndi-

cated columnist: “I feel badly for the (NHL players’) union. The league is attempting to cut back the players’ share of revenues, abolish players’ rights to salary arbitration and limit free agency. It is as if management is trying to turn back the clock. But it’s one thing to turn back the clock, and it’s a whole another thing to buy a case of sundials on eBay. • Headline at SportsPickle.com: "NHL owners say they can't afford to give players the huge contacts they've been giving them." • Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, after Savannah State was listed as a 70- and 67-point underdog in its first two games — and lost 84-0 and 58-0: "I'm not sure what Savannah

State's problem is this year, but we can rule out overconfidence." • Vancouver comic Torben Rolfsen, after Falcons RB Michael Turner was charged with DUI just hours after a recent Monday night win: "He must have been really out of it, because he asked if a replacement official could administer the sobriety test." • Dwight Perry again: “An army vet fishing for bass near Springfield, Mo., reeled in a sock with a live hand grenade in it. It's already being hailed as the fastest catch-andrelease in angling history.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on Oregon instituting random drug testing of athletes after reports that 40

to 60 per cent of its football players use marijuana: "The Ducks apparently will abandon their twohuddle system — smoking and nonsmoking." • Janice Hough again: “NFL teams are furious with the replacement refs. They can’t wait to get back to being furious with the regular officials.” • Another one from Rolfsen: “Patrick Kane being interviewed by attractive on-ice female sportscasters is like Prince Fielder being interviewed by pizza.” • NBC golf commentator Gary Koch on the narrow 16th fairway at East Lake Golf Club: “It’s like trying to hit it into a double car garage.” Care to comment?

GOOD NEWS

WHAT IS WISDOM? DAVE WHALLEY, DLM. (R) KNOX UNITED CHURCH

We are told in a reading from Proverbs Chapter 1, that wisdom ignored leads to death, and that wisdom heeded leads to life. This is not something that I believe many folk care to hear. They do not care to hear it because it is ever the human desire to do as we want to do. Many of us believe that with regard to the promises of God, that it is enough to say “I believe” and to attend church from time to time. Some people who attend baptisms, weddings, funerals and the odd Christmas Eve service feel that is enough to receive the rich inheritance that God has said will be given to us. But it is not so. God calls us to listen and to follow God’s way, to live by God’s wisdom. And the promise is that when we do this, we will find what we seek, and enjoy the fullness of what a relationship with the creator of the world bestows upon us. So what is the wisdom of God like -- this wisdom that leads to life? Well, the scriptural record is clear about it. The wisdom of God seems foolish in the eyes of unbelieving

people. It seems foolish, because it goes against natural tendencies, because it reverses all that the world teaches about wisdom. The wisdom of God teaches that we must give up ourselves, if we are to find ourselves -- that we must acknowledge our weaknesses, if we are to become strong. Jesus once said to the crowds and his disciples: “If any of you wants to be my follower,” he told them, “you must first put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself you will lose it.” These are hard words to hear, hard words to deal with, especially when we are so often a people who keep our faith to ourselves for fear of ridicule. How much do we set our mind on human things, rather than that which is divine? We have to be looking for God to see God. How similar that is to the message from Proverbs and to the words of Jesus. God may indeed be all around us and even within us, but that is not enough. We are called to look for God, and to listen to God’s words. We are called to set our minds on the way of the divine and to strive to live by it, for only by doing, can we in fact live. We are saved in our life on this earth by grace alone, most certainly.

But it is by grace through faithfulness, the faithfulness of God toward us in Christ Jesus. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, to deny our fear, our weaknesses, and our pettiness, and to pick up our own cross of faith, and follow. The Apostle Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians: “I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds to those who are on the road to destruction. But we who are being saved recognize this message as the very power of God.” In order for us to take up our cross, what in our lives, would we have to change? What are we most afraid of losing? For many of us, it is what I call, our comfort margin. How often do we look at a task that we believe we may be called to perform and rather than asking, if it is truly God’s will that we perform it, we ask if it is even possible for us to do? What might we have to do, if we are to heed God’s words, and desires, rather than our own? God’s wisdom is not like ours. God’s thoughts are vaster than our thoughts. God’s ways are greater than our ways. But God gives us wisdom to do what we need to do, to further the will of God on this earth. Let us pray that we listen to God’s wisdom.
