SWIFT CURRENT - Doug Steele of the Saskatchewan Party won his first election in the Cypress Hills region. Steele accounted for roughly seventy-nine percent of the vote in his riding, comfortably beating his opposition. Barb Genert (NDP), John Gooshen (PC), Marie Crowe (Green Party) and Charles Tait (Liberal) were the other hopefuls. Steele won the Sask Party nomination this past summer and just recently opened his office in Gull Lake on Friday, March 11th. Steele was one of fifty-one Sask Party representatives to win a seat on election night. Steele was at Sask Party Premier Brad Wall’s party on election night when it was announced that he had won his riding. He relished the opportunity of meeting people from his constituency. “Well, I'm nervous right at the present time, but I'm looking forward to it. During the campaign getting out and meeting people from the southwest … the few I knew and the few I got to know more, it's been great and I've really enjoyed it," said Steele after his victory speech at the Palliser Pavilion at Swift Current's Kinetic Exhibition Park. He was electrified seeing his party posting such strong results across the province winning 51 of a possible 61 seats. "I'm looking forward to working with the team that we (the party) seems to be gathering here tonight," said Steele. He likes what the current government has done to this point, and looks to continue down the same path. "I would like to see us (the party)

continue on the direction that the prior government without myself being part of it and moving forward planning and working with communities," said Steele. Steele takes over from Wayne Elhard who was the Cypress Hills MLA from 1999-2016. He believes the problems raised on his campaign tour are manageable and reasonable tasks for him and his party to take care of. "It seems like health care, education, infrastructure, and roads and those type of things (need attention), but I think those are all things that we can get taken care of by working together as communities and governments," said Steele. Steele spoke very highly of the previous Sask Party MLA Elhard, but would like to apply his knowledge and tactics a separate way. "Wayne represented our constituency very well, he was a real gentleman. Wayne had a way of leading our constituency and I have my own thoughts from past experiences of my own that I would like to implement," said Steele. He also talked about his past experiences and why he decided to run for the Sask Party, and for this region. "I had a few years of working on the municipal level of government and I saw that at that level we could have a number of successes and thought well when the opportunity knocked and the encouragement I had from people that were involved. I thought well I will take a chance and pursue it," said Steele, who noted key points toa him "Keep our province growing and developing our resources and making Saskatchewan a place to be from not the place we were from.”

SWIFT CURRENT - Saskatchewan Party leader and Premier of the province Brad Wall led his party to a strong majority government last Monday night. The Sask. Party picked up 51 of a possible 61 seats in the province. The party received overwhelming support with over six-two percent of the votes, leading to a landslide win. The win also made history with Wall becoming the longest-serving non-social Democrat Premier in the province's history. The Premier was very pleased with his parties’ election and to serve as Premier of this province once again, and believes his parties’ dedication and effort paid off. "It's humbling, it really is, and it's gratifying we've worked very hard and our candidates have worked very hard," said Wall, who was unsure of the final results. "There are some tight races but there are some great women and men who contested for the Saskatchewan Party who are now going to be in the legislature or who are close to going into the legislature, and that's the case because they worked very, very hard." Wall believes the party didn't win anything though, and that people in the business focus too much on winning, instead of the opportunities at hand. "We didn't win the election, in politics we talk about winning and losing and I'm sure I've made that mistake in the past, but when you think about it, it's not about winning and losing, we've been given a chance to serve, by the people of this province, it's a four year lease, and the lease can be revoked at the end of the for years," said Wall. The people of the province have spoken and with that comes a four year lease being renewed for Wall and the Sask. Party to man the helm. With the re-election Wall would like to keep his peer executives intact. "I don't know what is happening to some of the seats where there were cabinet minis-
ters in tight contests so I don't want to talk about that, but if we had to make changes I would do those right away, but I hope not to have to make any changes," said Wall. In addition to the re-election, Wall now moves into second for the longest serving Premier in the provinces’ history behind the man who set up Saskatchewan's Medicare program, Tommy Douglas.
“
It's humbling, it really is, and it's gratifying we've worked very hard and our candidates have worked very hard..." Wall won his hometown riding of Swift Current by capturing roughly eighty-two percent of the votes, with 5,898 of 7,155. He acknowledged the privilege and surreal feeling it is to represent his riding. "It's been the honour of my life to be the MLA for Swift Current, It first happened in 1999, and I couldn't believe it that night and it's still hard to believe now because I've have been interested in politics for a disturbingly long period of time including beginning really getting interested in school on the south side where we voted today in grade six," said Wall. The Premier noted he and his party "aren't done yet" is one of the big reasons why he wanted to return for a third term. He wants to continue down the path they started, by promoting growth within the province and also setting up long-term plans. "We need to setup the long-term fiscal plan for the province, so we can retire it. With growth as the number one sort of priority as the government. We just aren't done yet, we need to see and continue steady growth," said Wall. Who went onto say "It's that growth that allows us as a government to reduce taxes or to improve services for Saskatchewan people in health care, education and social services."
National Soil Conservation Week focuses on sustainable agriculture CONTRIBUTED
editor@gulllakeadvance.com
Soil, air, water, and wildlife that share the land with agricultural production are all impacted by soil management. National Soil Conservation Week, which runs from April 17 to 23, is focusing on the importance of proper land stewardship for the benefit of all resources - especially soil - under our care. "Canadian farmers realize in order to operate sustainably for the benefit of future generations, soil, air, water and wildlife need to be cared for properly," says Paul Thoroughgood, Soil Conservation Council of Canada (SCCC) chair. "Soil conservation is much more than making the land we farm more productive," adds Thoroughgood. "Producers see their farms as directly linked with issues such as greenhouse gas emissions, carbon sequestration, water quality, air quality and biodiversity." Led by SCCC, National Soil Conservation Week is an annual effort to put the spotlight on the continuing success in soil management while at the same time keeping soil health top-of-mind for both farmers and the public. SCCC's Summit on Canadian Soil Health in December 2015, outlined the views, issues and challenges that farmers, scientists and industry face in soil conservation and health. Results from the Summit clearly made the case that more work is needed in Canada to sup-
port the intensification of agriculture in a sustainable way as world food demand grows. "We want Canada to be a world leader in using sustainable management practices and production systems that ensure our agricultural landscapes continue to produce food, fibre and other products in the best manner possible," says SCCC vice-chair, Alan Kruszel. "Sustainable agriculture is dependent on good soil conservation practices. Environmentally responsible food production should be everyone's priority and ultimately starts with the soil." To celebrate National Soil Conservation Week, SCCC is launching a photo contest that focuses on the themes of soil, water, air and biodiversity as they relate to healthy agricultural landscapes in Canada. The contest aims to show Canadians what farming sustainably in this country really looks like. For more information, visit www.soilcc.ca. The SCCC is the only national organization to concentrate on the issues of soil health and soil conservation within a broadly based landscape context. It works to build a greater understanding of the importance of soil as an essential resource to society by facilitating the exchange of information with all stakeholders. Healthy soils are the foundation of sustainable food production, enhanced biodiversity and cleaner air and water for present and future generations.

inevitable? Would the North have taken another shot at it, 10 to 20 years later? Would there have been a series of continental conflicts for decades? If the U.S. had remained fractured into the 20th century, what would the impacts have been globally? Would it have tipped the balance in the First World War in favour of the Allies? Would it have been the decisive player in the Second World War, leading to its superpower status, or would it have been too concerned about a future conflict with its southern neighbour? Would a slave-nation like the confederacy have looked kindly on Fascism? Perhaps it would have even allied with German and Italy? And would there be a black president now? Or would Barack Obama have belonged to some master, with a whip in hand?

A series of improvement projects led by obstetrical care providers at the Cypress Regional Hospital have resulted in an important reduction in C-section birth rates. Between 2012 and 2015, the rate fell from 34% to 27% overall, and from 20% to 15% in mothers having a first-time procedure. These results place the region below the Canadian averages for overall C-sections (27.5% in 2014/15) and first-time procedures (18.5%). “Caesarean births have become much more common over the past two decades in our health region and across Canada,” advised Epidemiologist Dr. Brandy Winquist. “While a reduction of seven percentage points may seem small, it is really quite an extraordinary task, a trend we hope to see continue.” C-sections can be lifesaving in some cases, but dramatic increases in rates have raised questions about when this surgery is medically necessary and when it is not. Given the complexity of factors driving C-section rates, it is important that any improvement effort be informed by local data. In 2013, Drs. Kevin Wasko and Brandy Winquist led the design and implementation of a research study to gain a better understanding of the differences between mothers who gave birth by C-section and those who delivered
vaginally. The project, a collaboration between the University of Saskatchewan's Department of Family Medicine and the Cypress Health Region, studied more than 600 births. Findings from the study have since been used to direct improvements and to support an evidence-based approach.
“
“What really sets this group apart is how invested people are to make improvements for our patients." One example is the launch of an awareness campaign to promote vaginal births after caesarean (VBAC) birth. After learning that almost half of Caesarean births were in mothers who had a previous C-section, educational materials were developed to help counsel mothers about the risks and benefits of opting for a repeat surgery or trying for a vaginal birth. The VBAC campaign focused on sharing women’s stories and promoting the health and recovery benefits of VBAC. “When compared to a traditional delivery, C-sections can result in higher risks of infection, a longer stay in hospital, and an overall slower recovery. These are all important considerations and they prompted our entire team
to really focus on how we could work together to reduce the C-sections rates in our region,” commented Dr. Wasko, Family Physician. “As providers we are aware of the risks of C-sections, but we felt that the general public and specifically pregnant women needed to also know the risks. We used the VBAC campaign to help share some of the benefits of traditional deliveries even for those who have previously delivered children via Caesarean section.” A multidisciplinary obstetrics team was established in 2011 to discuss issues and best practices within Cypress Health. The team meets every three months and includes physicians, obstetricians, pediatricians, nursing staff, managers, pharmacists, midwives, and an epidemiologist. This team worked together to begin the Salus Global moreOB™ program in early 2015. Managing Obstetrical Risk Efficiently (moreOB™) is a continuous patient safety improvement program for all members of the multidisciplinary team. It is a collaborative approach built to decrease adverse events and clinical errors and also to improve care in ways that will reduce risk for C-section births. "We have a very engaged team of physicians and nurses working on the women and children's ward,” added Dr. Wasko. “What really sets this group apart is how invested people are to make improvements for our patients."

Commentary You can’t eat each other BY M E G A N L AC E L L E
megan@gulllakeadvance.com
I
’ve officially finished first year classes at the College of Law in Saskatoon. It’s been just over seven months since I first entered the school and now, here I am, none the wiser and all the more in debt. In honour of my past year in school, and to make sure I continue to study, I’ve decided to create a list of the most interesting Criminal Law cases I studied this year. The cases are dark, violent and disturbing, but if you take them with a grain of salt they have a little humour too. 1. Sleepwalking man kills his in-laws, gets acquitted. Yes. A man named Parks was having some personal troubles at home – including a possible divorce and the loss of his job. One night, while asleep, he went outside, got into his car and drove a couple miles to his in-laws house. It was there he proceeded to stab his motherin-law to death and attempted to do the same to his fatherin-law. He was acquitted of the murder after evidence was given that Parks was genuinely asleep through the whole incident. There’s actually cases of men also committing sexual assaults while also sleeping. Before you get too upset at the prospect of people using this defence to get off easy, let me tell you it’s only used about once every two years and can only be brought forward if there is sufficient evidence. 2. Man claims not to know scuba tank was filled with drugs. A man flew into British Columbia with some scuba gear. Upon inspection it was discovered the gear was far heavier than expected. Police then discovered that multiple pounds of narcotics had been stuffed inside, while the man acted as though this was all a surprise to him. I’m not sure what ever happened to drug-smuggling scuba guy – a new trial was ordered and he wasn’t heard from again. 3. It is frowned upon to dance naked in the street. Back in 1663 England there was a man named Sedley who occasionally liked to get inordinately drunk and throw bottles of his urine down into the streets while also proceeding to flash his man bits. Eventually the courts made a new offence under which to charge him with
to stop his actions. 4. Snapping someone’s underwear can be a sexual assault. This case was merely mentioned in class one day. A man and his ex-wife were arguing in a parking lot outside a grocery store, the argument surrounded custody of their children. As she bent over to put her groceries away in her vehicle he snapped her underwear. He was later charged with sexual assault. 5. Selling baking soda is not a crime. Poor Beaver. Beaver was trying to make some extra cash by selling baking soda that he pretended was heroin. He sold some to an undercover cop who tested it and discovered it was actually heroin. Beaver was acquitted based off a mistake of fact. 6. How didn’t you know? It’s really hard to feel bad for Ladue, however. The year was 1965 and he was found having sex with a dead body. He maintained he had no idea she was dead – the court charged him regardless. 7. You can’t park your ship here. Back in the 80s some drug smugglers were having issues with their ship, which happened to be carrying $6 million worth of drugs. A storm was brewing and the ship was not able to survive the storm. So in order to save the life of the people on board they decided to dock it on the Canadian shore. Only to be busted for importing narcotics into Canada. 8. Finally, you really can’t eat each other. This case was the first one we ever studied in school. Four men were shipwrecked together and, with no hope in sight, two of them decided to kill and eat the cabin boy to survive. Now, sailor law used to dictate that shipwrecked men would draw straws and whoever drew short straw would sacrifice themselves for the others. This was not the case. So the men killed the boy, ate him and were rescued days later only to be sentenced to life in prison. They only served two years before they were released. So that’s a quick list of some of the more interesting cases we’ve studied this year. The stories are simple, but the law is complicated.

Your scent makes people sick BY B R I A N Z I N C H U K
brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net
K
atrina, our Grade 6 daughter, reported the other day that scents are being banned from her classroom. Apparently some people have been slathering on a bit too much, and that’s that. No more stinky stuff. Michelle and I could easily relate to that, having chaperoned many an air cadet dance at the time when Axe body spray was all the rage. The boys seemed to bathe in it before attending. The Canadian Forces never issued us gas masks, but perhaps they should have. It’s becoming very common these days to see signs posted at workplaces declaring themselves to be scent-free. It seems that more and more of us have become sensitized to all the stinky stuff that’s out there. We have one friend who has dealt with this for many years. Roxanne says, “I stopped breathing due to Axe cologne and a former workplace and they had to call an ambulance and put me on oxygen. A lot of the time policies don’t get put into place until someone has had a severe reaction/episode which is great after the fact but not very helpful when you’re struggling to breath and trying not to pass out.” In some ways, scents have become the peanuts of our society. A few people, but an increasing number, react so badly to peanuts (including potentially fatal allergic reactions), their presence can simply no longer be tolerated.
Pretty much anywhere you have kids now, peanuts are banned, and for good reason. The question is, will the same become the case with scents and adults? Due to some people’s very strong reaction to scents, they may become banned from where all adults are. In other words, banned, period. You can smell nice at home, but don’t go anywhere like that. I suspect the increase in allergic sensitivity (myself included) and scent sensitivity are related. Is it all the chemicals in our environment we are bombarded with from birth? Who knows? The challenge is nearly all consumer products have some sort of scent included. Name one hand soap, lotion, dish soap, shampoo, deodorant, antiperspirant or clothes detergent that has zero scents. You might score on the clothes detergent, but good luck on the rest. I’m not sure how scent-intolerant people handle those day-to-day scents, but I think the larger issue is the overpowering stuff – the perfumes and colognes. They don’t seem to be nearly as common today then in days past. I was at a hockey tournament the other day, and my nose caught a whiff of the perfumes a small handful of women were wearing. But that was entirely it – perfumes were so few and far between that it registered in my mind. These days, I very rarely encounter any sort of strong perfumes. Those scent-free signs pose a conundrum to the perfume-wearers. Do they turn around and not go in? Do they
have a shower before entering? Do they come back another day when (if ever) they are not wearing a scent? Or, if they actually work there, do they simply not give a damn? Roxanne adds, “There are still a fair number of people who seem to think it’s a personal attack on them if they’re asked not to wear scents in the workplace. I have a former co-worker who now works at a different place that has been cautioned not to be obvious when someone who continues to wear perfume keeps stopping by her work area and causing allergic reactions, in case that person decides to file a grievance with the union because they feel their character is being assassinated. My friend has had to miss work due to the severity of the allergic reactions to this person’s perfume but her employer is not being supportive.” Then you’ve got places like Shoppers Drug Mart, whose stores are designed to force you through their fragrance and cosmetics departments before picking up your antihistamines. This might sound like nanny-state thinking, but the ability to breathe is appreciated by most. Like smoking and peanuts, strong scents may soon become the next pariah of our society. For those who can’t stand these scents, the sooner, the better. Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net.

tepping into the month of April, we got the first official crop progress report from the U.S.D.A. while 40% of Glencore’s agribusiness unit (AKA Viterra) got bought by the Canada Pension Plan for $2.5 Billion. Ever since the Quarterly Stocks & Prospective Plantings Report, corn and soybeans have been flip-flopping, with soybeans getting pulled higher on less acres and support from palm oil prices. Despite some profit taking in the later, canola has maintained near-January levels as the Canadian Loonie has had a 2 cent trading range over the past week, swaying between 75.5 and 77.5 cents USD. April’s W.A.S.D.E. report from the U.S.D.A. (Tuesday, April 12th) will likely show lower global veggie oil stocks, as a reflection of strong international use & lower palm oil production in Asia. This would intuitively help canola maintain their current levels, but hard to see them push much higher any time soon without a rally from seeding issues. Across the 49th parallel, there’s still time for U.S. farmers to switch their planned acres from corn to soybeans. Some analysts think that up to 2 million of the 93.6 million acres forecasted by the U.S.D.A. in their March 31st report could revert back to the oilseed. However, with the December corn-to-November soybean price ratio in Chicago hovering around 2.5, it’s still up in the air (anything below the 2.5 level suggests more corn will get planted, anything above suggests more soybeans). Across the U.S., major wheat states like Kansas and South Dakota are seen building up their corn acreage (+16% to 4.8 million acres and +6% to 5.7 million acres respectively) The International Grains Council says that despite generally favourable growing conditions pretty much everywhere but South Africa, world wheat production will fall about 5% from this past year’s record crop of 734 million tonnes to just 713 million tonnes in 2016/17. Even with headlines of dry conditions in Eastern Australia, Western Canada, & the U.S. Southern Plains / Midwest, it’s far from a blown out drought anywhere (even as you look out into your own fields). Case in point is the U.S. crop, as the U.S.D.A.’s crop progress report showed winter wheat conditions above expectations with 59% of the crop rated good-to-excellent, well above last year’s 44% G/E rating. Accordingly, the market plays the game that’s in front of them, which has continued to push wheat lower and lower on better-than-expected conditions today. Recent estimates suggest that the wheat crop out of eastern Europe will be smaller than last year due to weather (We’ve been making this call since the start of winter that a smaller crop out of the region is likely the best bull catalyst for wheat in 2016). Ukraine looks to fare the worst as with only 12.4 million of the 14.8 million seeded acres of winter wheat area actually getting harvested, likely resulting in a 35% decline in output from last year to 17-17.5M tonnes. Other major producers like Poland, Romania, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, & Hungary are all seeing their wheat acreage down from 2015, while even Russia’s production will be more normalized, down 8% to 57 million tonnes from last year’s monster 62 million. While there’s some time to go before the crop is off, given the majority of the wheat crop out of Eastern Europe was planted in the fall, it’s unlikely that any of these production targets will get busted (on the high side that is).

eauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what if one beholder has 20/20 vision and the other beholder is somewhat blind? My Other Half and I agree or at least compromise on pretty much everything in our daily lives, however I realized pretty early on that when it came to eyesight, there was a deep chasm between us. In fact, we couldn’t be more different. He could see things far away and in great detail, and I couldn’t. He could enter a building after being outdoors and not think twice, but I had to stop and wait for my glasses to defrost. He could hop out of bed and see instantly and, you guessed it, I could not. Working in the various “offices” that one has on a ranch, I would notice our differences often. “You see that coyote over there on that hill?” my Other Half would ask as we moved through a pasture. “Er….where? I think so…maybe?” I would squint in the direction I thought I should and look as hard and earnestly as I could, and often still saw nothing. Unless the coyote, or any subject that he was pointing out, was extremely large, slow-moving, or better yet, dead and immobile, it would have long scampered over the hill by the time I could ever spot it. Gathering cows, my husband would regularly explain how I should bring pairs up through a draw towards a distant gate that he would make reference to which was apparently on the horizon somewhere. Initially, I would ask questions until I was certain I knew the specific gate on a particular knoll that he was talking about. After a few years I’d save us all the hassle and say “yeah, sure, that gate over there,” and start gathering cattle, hoping I would figure out what Eagle Eyes really meant when the time
came. Not exactly a solid plan for either herding livestock or preserving a marriage. Having to wear glasses is a First World Problem, really. There are far worse things in life than having imperfect eyesight, and I got by for decades by wearing contact lenses, and when that failed, I had glasses to rely on. But….it was a First World Problem that I knew could potentially be solved by laser eye surgery. After looking into it, visiting with friends and family who had undergone the procedure, and going through the appropriate optometry channels, I went ahead and booked my appointment last May on the day we happened to be celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary. Who doesn’t deserve a night away in the city with the love of your life on a special occasion? (Even if you have gauze and plastic shields taped to your eyes and are solely dependent on said husband for the following 24 hours). When we planned our wedding in May so many years ago, we discovered that on a ranch, there are bad times to get married and there are really bad times to get married. The same holds true for scheduling a voluntary eye procedure, but I made it through the brief and relatively simple convalescence fairly well, even if I did have to tape goggles to my head for a day or two when we were sorting pairs for breeding pastures. The lasting results ( for me) were worth the discomfort, dust-preventing contraptions, and yep, even the money. This summer, when I was baling into to the sun, I no longer had to squint through my old glasses, I could throw on a pair of sunglasses and see just fine. This winter, when we walked through a barn, I didn’t have to wander around in a fog. And when Old Eagle Eyes can spot things that seem to be several miles away, through the magic of technology, now I can too. There is always more to life than what meets the eye, but it sure helps when you have better than 20/20 vision.
COMMENTARY
Should Unions Have the Right to Dictate Public Policy? BY J O R DA N B AT E M A N B.C. Director & A A R O N W U D R I C K Federal Director
For more than a decade, the B.C. government and the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) have been locked in an expensive (and messy) court battle. Hanging in the balance is the ability of elected officials to set public policy priorities. B.C.’s last New Democratic Party government agreed to a sweetheart deal with the BCTF — one of its key union allies — which included restrictions on class size and class composition, and cost taxpayers millions of dollars by forcing schools to hire more teachers. The NDP was swept out of power soon after, winning just two of 79 seats in 2001. Gordon Campbell and the B.C. Liberals took over, with a clear and resounding mandate to right the fiscal ship by controlling costs and cutting taxes. The new government and the BCTF started negotiating a new collective agreement, but it was clear they had very different priorities. Campbell believed class size and composition were a matter of government policy that should not be managed through collective agreements, but rather should be decided through consultation with the public. The BCTF disagreed. Campbell broke this deadlock by legislating a new contract, which removed the aforementioned provisions. The union was enraged and took the government to court. Many years later, a court held that it was unconstitutional for the government to legislatively amend col-
lective agreements in this way. The judge gave the two parties a year to renegotiate the contract. When a settlement still could not be reached, the government again introduced legislation and the BCTF again took it to court. This time, the BCTF hit the jackpot. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin effectively ruled that important terms in a contract between the B.C. government and a government union could not be modified without the consent of both parties, unless there were “exigent” or “urgent” circumstances. Fortunately, a year later, the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned this decision. It found that the trial judge erred in finding that the government could not legislate the terms of a collective agreement over the objections of a union, and said that the trial judge stepped too far into the political arena by passing judgment on the reasonableness of the government’s motivations. The BCCA noted — quite rightly — that the trial judge’s approach effectively provides “workers with a presumptive constitutional veto” over education policy. The BCTF is now appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada. Our organization, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), plans to file an intervenor application, to stand up for the ability of duly elected governments to carry out their democratic mandate, and for the taxpayers, who, if the BCTF succeeds, would be stuck with the tab for union-friendly sweetheart deals negotiated by previous administrations. Yet the CTF will not be the only inter-

venor. You can bet the big government unions will all be lining up with the BCTF. We believe the nine other provincial governments should intervene to support the B.C. government in its efforts. If the B.C. government loses this case, anything granted by a union-friendly government in a collective agreement could become nearly impossible to remove without the union’s permission. Imagine a future government on its political deathbed signing a 20-year contract with a friendly union, guaranteeing no teachers would have more than 12 students in their classes. If the BCTF is successful at the Supreme Court, any government in Canada could do just that and it would be binding for 20 years, even if voters overwhelmingly say they don’t want it. While courts have historically deferred to elected officials when it comes to making policy decisions, there has been a troubling trend in the other direction recently. Courts are increasingly stepping into the shoes of politicians — and expanding Charter rights in a way that could prove not only outrageously expensive for all Canadians, but corrosive to our democracy, as well. Voters and taxpayers need to push back. After all, making policy and prioritizing how tax dollars are spent is the job of the people we elect: politicians. In a democratic country, judges should stick to interpreting the law — not playing politician by trying to make laws themselves. This column originally appeared in the National Post on April 5, 2016

Local Author to release two books April 22nd BY DAV I D Z A M M I T

SWIFT CURRENT - Local author, Irene Bingham excitedly awaits her book release of Smokey and Bandit and Red Deer Forks Trail that will round out her trilogy of books on Vic Pederson, the rodeo show entertainer. Bingham has been writing a variety of stories and books since 1992. The stories and books are about past series of events, with most of the stories including an animal of some sorts. "I think it's just the way I am, and the nature of me. I like animals and always have. Horses are my favourite. I had one when I was younger," said Bingham. These two books will bring Bingham's total published to four. Her two previous were Golden Horse Christmas and Fred, the Trick Mule, which was the first of the trilogy. She hinted that a novel may be in the works, something that is a different genre from her previous publications. "I have a novel which is at an editor - it's based on two news events and it's a murder mystery," said Bingham. The trilogy was created for both adults and children. A hands on approach in the books entices readers to become directly involved. "These books were designed to be interactive with parents and children. What I'm trying to do is get the children and their parents to start recording their histories," said Bingham, who believes this is an effective way for children to read "I like it for the children. If I am going to do anything for
the children I think it should be interactive, something that you can sit down and hold and do.” Bingham spent numerous hours going through Pederson's stories with him alongside - the thought process behind choosing what pictures to use for what pages. "I've gone through about 2,000 pictures which I had to sort and go through and
“
What I'm trying to do is get children and their parents to start recording their histories..." pick the ones that I wanted, also a lot of time spent trying to visit back and forth (between Pederson and Bingham)," said Bingham. There was a time where Bingham wondered if she would get these books completed with a few problems that intervened. "There was a time where we both had medical issues, I had my cataracts removed and Vic broke his hip, we kind of lost track of each other, so we had to get back on track planning for the books," said Bingham. Fred, the Trick Mule is for sale at Pharmasave in Swift Current, the same location you will be able to purchase limited copies of Smokey and Bandit and Red Deer Forks Trail.

The early snowmelt and warm weather this spring has some producers wondering about the possibility of a drier than normal year. Many producers are questioning whether they will have enough pasture and hay for the upcoming year. One of the fastest ways to recharge the feed supply on many livestock operations is to grow an annual crop for greenfeed. The open fall and winter resulted in many pastures being grazed harder, resulting in less litter remaining on the surface for moisture conservation. With pastures being pushed extra hard through the winter, they are going to need some extra time to recover. Again, annuals could help take the grazing pressure off pastures that have been pushed too hard and need some additional recovery time. Greenfeed yields A series of greenfeed projects at Swift Current on land managed by Wheatland Conservation Association has resulted in greenfeed yields ranging from 2.5 to 3 Tons per acre (air-dry basis). In order to improve the yield potential fertilizer should be applied at the same rate that would be applied for a good grain yield. A soil test can help refine fertilizer application amounts. Recent greenfeed projects at Wheatland Conservation Association had nitrogen applied in the range of 30 to 60 pounds per acre and phosphorus applied in the range of 15 to 30 pounds per acre. Pea/cereal mixtures In 2015 an ADOPT project occurred at Swift Current looking at using peas in combination with either oats or barley for greenfeed. The project looked at optimal seeding rates for pea/cereal mixtures in order to maximize yield. It was interesting to note that the top yielding combination occurred when peas were seeded at 100 percent of full rate, while the oats or barley in the mixture
was seeded at 30 percent of full seeding rate. When pea/cereal mixtures were seeded at the 100/30 percent seeding rates they yielded greater than any of the monoculture plots of oats, barley or peas. The pea/cereal mixtures were staged for greenfeed harvest based upon maturity of the cereal in the mixture, with pea/oat mixtures cut when oats was at the late milk stage, and pea/ barley mixtures cut when barley was at middough stage. The project in 2015 compared the new semi-leafless forage pea variety ‘CDC Horizon’ to the older full-leaf type 40-10 forage pea variety that has been around for many years. When grown in mixture with oats or barley, and cut at the appropriate stage for greenfeed, CDC Horizon yielded greater than 40-10. Some of the challenges when using pea/ cereal mixtures is the extra seed cost of the peas due to larger seed size, and potentially longer time required for curing prior to baling. Another challenge that producers face is the limited availability of forage pea seed, which has some producers questioning which variety of peas to use if they cannot find seed of a forage pea type. The next best option for some producers may be to find a high yielding grain-type semi-leafless yellow pea, as the forage varieties have been developed from yellow peas. From a feed quality perspective there are benefits to having a pea/cereal mixture versus a cereal monoculture, perhaps similar to the benefits of feeding an alfalfa/grass hay mixture versus feeding 100 percent grass hay. From a tonnage perspective, the 100 percent pea/30 percent cereal mixture produced the highest amounts of harvestable protein and TDN on a per acre basis when compared to monocultures of oats, barley or peas.

League of Wolves will be in Swift Current at the Lyric Theatre Friday, April 29th to play songs from their newly released EP, Like It Should Be. Photo By: Matt Braden
Local Rock group drops four-track EP BY DAV I D Z A M M I T
david@gulllakeadvance.com
League of Wolves, an independent rock band from Maple Creek released a foursong EP on Friday, April 8. The short track EP is their first release since last April's full-length album League of Wolves. The mini album EP is named Like It Should Be, with the four song titles, Hightail, You're Killing Me, Mountains Away, and Cuts. You're Killing Me reached #40 on the Canadian: Active Rock Charts this past week. Like it Should Be was recorded in an old schoolhouse in Piapot. "We've only recorded solely in that studio (in Piapot). It actually was an abandoned school at one time, it used to be the Piapot School and was built in the 1930s. They decided to decommission it in the early 2000s and were planning on ripping the school down but my parents decided to refurbish it," said Aspen Beveridge.
Ethan Stork, the bass player of the band believes that the new recordings of these songs show an improved caliber of lyrics, alongside recording some of there music they have been working on since last year. "We've had a bunch of songs on the go since our last album, we just wanted to record something and get it down, that represented not necessarily a new sound but a better quality of songs that we can write," said Stork. The new EP will keep their fans happy, while attracting outside attention from people in the music sector, helping the band reach their goals of becoming a house hold name. "The goal with it (the EP), was to get some new stuff out for our fans and to be able to record something we could really promote to music industry people, such as booking agents and record labels," said Stork. The band’s new addition of Leot Hanson, former lead guitarist of The

Sheepdogs, has brought a small tweak to the band’s sound along with fresh new ideas and an outside perspective. Hanson left The Sheepdogs in the summer of 2014. ”He brings a lot of different things to the table than we were writing before. I wouldn't say it's a huge leap in genre or anything, but there are some definite sounds,' said Stork, who talked about the style and genre Hanson brings to the band "It's a little more classic rock, but he also writes a little more riff rock, he just has different compressions and core changes than we would normally use which is kind of refreshing." Four of the members excluding Hanson, include Dillon Currie and Aspen Beveridge who are on vocals and guitar, Greig Beveridge on drums and vocals, and the aforementioned Ethan Stork on bass. The group grew up playing together in high school but didn't start the band until around August 2012.
The band has just released a music video for the CBC Searchlight contest that looks for Canada's best up and coming bands. The first round voting closes Wednesday, April 20, at 2:59 p.m. "We released it to a CBC contest, the Searchlight contest, this year they did videos so we released it on the contest to try and drive people to it. We just released it to Facebook today (April 5th) and will probably go to Youtube in a week or so," said Stork. You can see the band live at The Lyric Theatre at 9 p.m. Friday, April 29th, tickets are only $10 and available at tPharmasave. The band will be playing a variety of their songs during the concert. "We are going to be playing a mixture of both things … some stuff from our fulllength album that we released last year and also the new stuff (the four-song EP) we'd like to get out to the audience," said Beveridge.

Pianist David Braid and the Penderecki String Quartet present: FLOW, April 24 at the Art Gallery of Swift Current. Steinway Piano Artist and multiple Juno award winning Canadian composer, David Braid, is thrilled to collaborate with the Penderecki String Quartet who are celebrating their 30th anniversary as one of Canada's greatest string quartets. The goal of their performances is to provide a sensual experience of sound that is artistically presented, narrative-driven, and rendered in the most beautiful colours of strings and piano. They want their program to "get under your skin" in a fresh way that engages and complements your
imagination. Inspired by Werner Herzog's "Cave of Forgotten Dreams", a central part of their program is Braid's provocative composition, "Chauvet", a deeply felt work that expresses the astounding mysteries behind the 33,000-year-old paintings recently discovered in central France. This performance is made possible through funds from the Canada Council for the Arts Touring Office. Please join us for this fantastic show featuring David Braid on our beautiful Baldwin grand piano. Doors open at 2:30, show at 3pm. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students and available at Pharmasave. Coffee, tea, and snacks are complementary.

HOME & GARDEN
Prairie
Biennials
BY E R L S V E N D S E N
editor@gulllakeadvance.com
A true biennial is a plant that takes 2 growing seasons to complete its lifecycle. During the first season, the seed germinates, typically forms a low rosette of leaves, stores up energy in a tap-root or thickened short stem at or just below the ground and then goes dormant in the late fall. The cool moist spring conditions trigger the next phase of the plant’s life cycle: reproduction. A flowing stalk elongates and towers over the overwintered rosette, eventually flowers and sets seeds in midto late summer. At this stage, the plant has completed its program and does not survive a third year. This strategy is not reserved just for ornamental plants; some of our vegetables are also biennials in more moderate climates such as carrots, beets, celery and cabbage. Two biennials worth growing in your garden are foxglove and hollyhock.
In their first year, foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) produce a short stem with soft green, slightly hairy long leaves. In their second year, a tall (45 – 120cm/18 – 48in.) flowering stalk emerges and down-ward facing, thimble-sized, bell-shaped flowers opening up mid-summer. Flower colours include white, yellow, pink, rose, lavender and purple. The inside of the flower features a large white spot mottled with crimson, burgundy or chocolate spots. Prairie winters may be too harsh for foxglove to survive to their flowering year; mulching may improve their odds. The good news is that there is an annual cultivar, ‘Foxy’, that will flower in its first year. If growing from seed, ‘Foxy’ should be started quite early (January) and set out as seedlings in May. You can also find ‘Foxy’ in most larger garden centres as bedding plants. If you don’t mind a limited colour choice (pale butter-yellow flowers with a brown spotted interior), a hardy perennial foxglove (D. grandiflora or D. ambigua) exists.
Flowering occurs in June, spikes can reach 100 cm (3 ft.). Of note is that foxgloves grow reliably in shade. Hollyhock (Alcea rosea, syn. Althaea rosea) is considered an old-fashioned standby that is regaining popularity. It is truly a very tough plant – I have seen it growing completely unattended against a building on one side and a gravel parking lot on the other, rewarding all that go by with a blaze of late summer colour. In the first year, a rosette of round, lobed medium green leaves is produced. The following summer, a very tall stalk, rises from the rosette, often reaching 150 – 240cm (5 – 8 ft.), produces large (10 – 13cm/4 – 5in.) saucer-shaped flowers over a 2-month period starting in July. Flower colour can be white, pink, yellow, red and purple. Some cultivars are so dark purple to almost appear black (‘Nigra’). There are also double flowered cultivars that resemble small pom-poms. Hollyhock plants may produce side shoots to survive and
flower into the following year. Hollyhocks will also self-sow and, if left alone, will eventually produce a self-sustaining little colony that will bloom year after year. A common hollyhock disease is leaf rust. The disease appears first as small round yellow-orange pustules on undersides of the lower leaves. On the top surface, larger orange spots with red centres soon appear. If left unchecked, the disease can quickly spread to other leaves and stems. To control, inspect and remove infected leaves as soon as they appear and dispose all debris in the fall – do not add to your compost. Rust rarely kills hollyhock outright; however, it does cause premature yellowing and dieback in the fall. Fortunately, resistant cultivars are available (e.g. ‘Happy Lights’).

Plan to attend the 2016 Long Day's Night Music Festival! Come celebrate four of the longest days of the year with great music in the big-top tent in Swift Current on June 23-26. Plan to take advantage of the SGI-sponsored free rides home - right to your doorstep. Up first on Thursday, June 23 will be the six-piece rock’n’roll dance band, The Wet Secrets. They are known for their swampy basslines, primal drumming, dancing ladies with brassy hornsticks, keys, congas and vocal harmonies. Opening for The Wet Secrets will be the Saskatoon-based, We Were Lovers. On Friday, June 24, the Johnny McCuaig Band will take the stage with energy, melody and distinctive rock and roll with bagpipes. They are among the few that display integrity, originality and willingness to push the envelope of creativity. Opening for Johnny McCuaig Band is DJ Baby Daddy. Canadian indie-rock band from Ottawa, Hollerado
will be the main stage performers on Saturday, June 25. Their live show is one not to miss, and is jacked up with energy and full of fun. Opening for Hollerado is another Ontario-based band, Little Junior, who sing about what they know from a uniquely wry perspective. Closing out Long Day’s Night, on Sunday, June 25 is the roots-rock band, The Matinee. They are a band that delivers such a complete musical panorama right from the get-go with their boot-stomping party. Opening for The Matinee will be Regina-based, Nick Faye and the Deputies, known for their alternative-rock sound that still has a roots feel. You won’t want to miss this years’ Long Day’s Night Music Festival! In addition to the many great artists filling to the big top tent in June, there will be many great raffle prizes, as well as draught beer provided by local brewery, Black Bridge Brewery. This festival is proudly sponsored by SIGA and the Living Sky Casino.

david@gulllakeadvance.com
SWIFT CURRENT - Swift Current Broncos alum, Sheldon Kennedy will be the latest inductee into the teams’ Hall of Fame. Kennedy played three seasons for the Broncos, appearing in 159 regular season games and 26 playoff contests. Kennedy racked up 134 goals, 153 assists for 287 points in the regular season for the Broncos. He was the captain of the Broncos team that won the Memorial Cup back in 1988-89, and was named to the tournament all-star team. Kennedy was a fourth round draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings in 1988 where he would go on to play 310 games in the National Hockey League for the Red Wings, Calgary Flames and the Boston Bruins.
Kennedy is better known around the hockey world for going public about being sexual abused by his former coach, Graham James. His bravery in coming forth paved the way for other players in the WHL to come forth as they were also abused by James. Kennedy, since retiring in 1999, has devoted his time towards child abuse prevention and education. He is currently a spokesperson with the Canadian Red Cross for violence and abuse program. Kennedy was named to the Order of Canada in 2014 for "his courageous leadership in raising awareness of childhood sexual abuse". Kennedy's induction night will be held at the Credit Union iplex on May 27, 2016 at 7 p.m. The event is called "Denim, Boots and Diamonds". Tickets are now on sale for the event. You can call the Stable for tickets at 306773-1509.

THE ADVANCE
Gull Lake, Saskatchewan,
Old Stories and Fibs BY T O M F R O O K
editor@gulllakeadvance.com
Good morning Gull Lakers. Today has been quite a remarkable day in our house. We've celebrated my son's 39th birthday with my son, my daughter, Loretta's son Jeff, his spouse Monica, Monica's daughter Maya, and our very good friends and neighbours, Rodney and Lynda Pyne, who also live just up the highway in downtown Central Grove, Nova Scotia. The day was wonderful in that Jenny and Tim took me for a drive to Digby, we did a little shopping, got some clams and scallops and then came home to lasagna, lemon pie cake and fireworks to finish the day. It just doesn't get much better than that for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the day, but there's more. During the evening our phone rang, it displayed an Alberta area code number. It was Janice Macmillan, or, Janice Thomsen, the eldest daughter of Lloyd and Wilma. Janice isn't a Facebooker, but she does get the Gull Lake Advance and what she'd called to say was that she wanted me to know that she enjoys reading the Gull Lake Old Stories and Fibs memories that the Advance publishes. You want to know something? It made me weep. I love the idea that someone enjoys reading the stories as much as I like to write my memories and I was sincerely touched by the fact that Janice would pick up a telephone and go out of her way to tell me so. We chatted quite a long while, we laughed and we shared a lot of memories of folks and names of years gone by in Gull Lake. Janice spoke so very nicely of the people who were a part of her growing up years, the phrase she used that really was the nicest was, “There couldn't have been a better town to grow up in than Gull Lake”
and, you know, she's right. Simple as that, she's absolutely right, there couldn't have been. We must have spoken for well over a half hour. The conversation was all over the map, Janice had a lot of memories she wanted to share and I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask. Janice shared some terrific memories with me that I'd never before heard, remarkable stories, such as... Janice told me a story about Beulah Frook's annual May Day Tea. I can't say that I remember much about them, but the story goes that the ladies from the neighbourhood, the bridge club and, likely, any lady in town that was interested, would show up at our house for this gathering. The tradition was that the ladies wore white gloves and wore hats, mother would serve sandwiches made with “store bought” white bread minus the crusts that were made with creamed cheese and cucumbers. There were the ever present trays of cookies as well. Janice also told me about her grandmother, Millie Thomson getting her hair “done” across the street at Rose and Joe Mulhall's house. Rose was a practitioner of that mystical art of doing whatever it is that ladies get done to their hair and Millie would get Rose to do the job. It was on a wet, miserable day long before there was pavement that Millie got Rose to do the job and, when it was time to go home, Millie had some trouble getting her “overshoes” to work. You'll remember that there was a time when ladies wore a sort of clear plastic boot over their regular shoes and on this particular day, somehow, Millie managed to get both overshoes on the same foot. It was probably the fumes from the hairspray that did it. We also spoke, yet again, about the annual Masonic kids Christmas

Party. Janice recalls that, much the same as the rest of us that attended, it was a highlight. What she told me tonite was something I hadn't remembered, that being the my sister Glady on at least two occasions played the role of Santa Claus, I don't remember that, but,yep, she'd do it and who the hell would have ever guessed? Janice also said-that she could remember my father, John, acting as Master of Ceremonies and instructing this gaggle of little kids just how to do a “Grand March” and the “Heel and Toe Polka” to the music of JW and Mable Robertson. She loved it, and,so did we all, I think. Janice recalled the 24th of May parade that Jack Schaeffer appeared at out house just before the parade on his horse, he was bedecked with chaps, bandana, gauntlets and revolvers;. The White Horse whisky in his back pocket, just one of the characters. Janice also spoke so very, very nicely of just what a terrific person was Florence Turner and Maw Downy's black and white running shoes. The long and short of the evening, for me, is that it was most gratifying These silly little stories are just a self defence mechanism for me, they keep my mind active and they allow me to reconnect with old friends and with old names that have escaped me, sometime I can look back at the names and the stories that came out of this little Facebook posting and be able to tie it all together. Thank you to Janice for thinking of me and for taking the time to make certain that I understood what the purpose of her call was and to let me know that those old memories from “the best place to grow up in” are a part of all of us. I'll remember to day for as long as I can with a lot of gratitude.

Kay Anderson, daughter of Violet Bury from Liverpool, England, and Fred Becker from Kitchener, Ontario, passed away in Creston Valley Hospital after suffering for three weeks from a broken hip. Kay's mother came to Marysville, BC from Liverpool, England in 1912 and there she met Fred Becker who she married in 1914. Kay was born in Cranbrook in 1916 and from there the family moved to the Gull Lake area where they suffered through the flu epidemic of 1919, the Great Depression, and the dust storms of the 1930's. Kay received a grade 10 education in her country school with the teacher helping with correspondence. In 1938 she married Jim Anderson of Hazlet, Saskatchewan. Monte was born in 1939, Karen in 1943. The family moved for a brief time in 1943 to Clearwater, BC but Jim got a call for the army so the family had to move back to Saskatchewan. Just as Jim was to be sent overseas the war finished and the family moved back to Clearwater, BC in 1946. Their second daughter Janice was born in Kamloops in 1954. In 1955, the family moved back to Saskatchewan with son, Raymond being born in 1956. In 1971 they moved to Creston, BC. Kay was one of the first to move into Crest View Village. She loved her stay in this luxurious home where she remained until she fell and broke her hip, just before this past Christmas and dying in the Creston hospital Thursday, January 14, 2016- her hundredth year! Her family is so thankful to the staff of Crest View Village for providing their mom and grandma with a wonderful environment and great care in her final years and also to the staff of the Creston Valley Hospital for their loving care in her final days. Kay was predeceased by her parents Fred and Violet Becker; her husband Jim in 2011, after 73 years of marriage; three brothers, Bill, Kenneth and Alec; two sisters, Violet and Mae; brothers-in-law Max, Bill, Ivan Anderson, Maurice Acre, Charles Easterbrook and Kelly Holtby; sisters-in-law Mabel Easterbrook, Nora Anderson, Pat Baskerville, Ruth Acre, and Mary Becker. Kay Anderson is survived by her four children: Monte Anderson of Creston and Carol Anderson of Calgary: Ray (MaryEllen) Anderson of Calgary; Karen (John) Skelton of Calgary, Janice Anderson of Calgary ; ten grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, thirteen greatgrandchildren; sister Hazel (Dayton) Toney of Gull Lake; sisters-in-law Pearl Becker of Saskatoon, SK, Kay Holtby of Gull Lake, SK, Myrt Anderson of Swift Current, SK, and Peggy Anderson of Enderby, BC; and brothers-in-law Art Anderson of Bow Island, AB, and Bob Baskerville of Hazlet, SK. The Funeral Service was held in Creston Baptist Church, with Pastor Harry Haberstock officiating.
SPIRITUAL GLEANINGS
When We Meet Face-to-Face BY J OYC E S A S S E
www.canadianruralchurch.net
Two subjects my elderly friend avoided discussing were “religion” and “politics”. Too many arguments! But on a day when her health was most fragile, she found herself immersed in a conversation that covered both subjects. While waiting to be transferred from the City (where she’d had open-heart surgery) to her home-town hospital, there was a ninety minutes wait between when the attendants arrived and when they were given permission to get on the road. During that time my friend asked one driver about his family. Never had she come face-to-face with a blackskinned person who was Muslim and who came as a refugee. But she wanted to know more. He spoke about how desperate things were in Uganda in 1972 when the new President, Idi Amin banished all Asians from his African nation. Lawyers’, doctors’, business owners’, and artists’ along with day-labourers’ and their families lives where endangered. Prince Karim Aga Khan, leader of the Ishmaili Muslims, turned to Canada for help. Pierre Trudeau responded by removing immigration barriers and sending cargo planes to help with the transfer of 7,000 persons. “You will be given an honourable place in our country” he told them. “I had the honour of being part of that movement” the ambulance attendant explained. “And now I hope that my medical qualifications will soon by accepted in this country!” As the story unfolded I saw a bonding between these two people from such extremely different backgrounds. My friend knew how vulnerable her medical condition was, but she saw this driver to be God’s gift and trusted herself completely into his care. We panicked, that stormy day, when her arrival was later than expected … But the travellers has stopped for a coffee break. It was so good to get back home, and it was good to have made a new friend!

Swifting in the Big Leagues BY DAV I D Z A M M I T
david@gulllakeadvance.com
With the National Hockey League regular season coming to an end on April tenth, it's time to tale a look at NHL players from this area and their impact on this past season. Is there a chance of them bringing Lord Stanley’s Cup to the area? There are three players who hail from the area, Patrick Marleau, Zach Smith, and Braydon Coburn. Patrick Marleau, the three time AllStar grew up on his parents’ farm near Aneroid, SK. Marleau spent two seasons with the Western Hockey League, playing for the Seattle Thunderbirds, before the San Jose Sharks drafted him, second overall in the 1997 draft, and right behind teammate Joe Thornton. In 1997 he joined the Sharks organization as an eighteen year-old, a feat which very few players attain. His entire career in the NHL has been with just one organization, the San Jose Sharks, a rare accomplishment. Marleau was awarded the captaincy part-way through the 2003-04 season and held the position until the summer of 2009 when Sharks Head Coach Todd McLellan stripped him of the "C". The Sharks all-time leader in goals (478), powerplay goals (152), points (1,032), shots (3,602) with 1408 games played. The left winger has also won Olympic gold, with Team Canada, in both 2010 and 2014. Further he assisted his team to win the Presidents Trophy in 2009. One item which Marleau is dearly missing on his hockey résumé is a Stanley Cup ring. With all the success Marleau and the Sharks have had in the regular season since he joined them, they have yet to make it past Conference Final, falling short on three separate occasions. Marleau's offensive numbers are down this season as compared to previous seasons. There are a few factors including the shuffle between the second and third line, now playing more of a depth role. Logan Couture was hurt most of the year, meaning Marleau didn't have his offensive line mate playing alongside him. Marleau is now thirty-six years old and his chances to hoist the Stanley Cup are steadily dwindling. The Sharks will be in the playoffs this season, in a rematch of the 2014 playoffs first round match up, against the Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks went up 3-0 in that series before the Kings came storming back winning the series becoming one of only four NHL teams to comeback from down 0-3 in a series, and going on to win the coveted Stanley Cup. Braydon Coburn, a former NHL top prospect grew up in Shaunavon. Coburn played parts of five seasons in the Western Hockey League for the Portland Winterhawks, spending some time as their captain. In 2003 the Atlanta Thrashers drafted him eighth overall, in a highly skilled draft that included names like Eric Staal, Ryan Suter, Ryan Getzlaf, Jeff Carter, and Zach Parise. Coburn would spend the following two seasons with the Winterhawks giving the blue chip prospect time to develop his game. During those two seasons he was selected to Team Canada’s World Junior squad both seasons winning silver in 2004 and claiming gold the following year. He made his NHL debut October fifth 2005 against the Florida Panthers. He would spend nine games with the Thrashers before being sent back to the
Chicago Wolves for further development. The following season he was bounced around from the NHL to AHL, before finally being traded to the Philadelphia Flyers on February 24, 2007, at the trade deadline. Coburn made a name for himself with the Flyers developing into a steady defenceman, making it to the Stanley Cup finals in 2009-10 season falling short to the Chicago Blackhawks. He would continue with the team until March 2, 2015 when he was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Once again he would reach the Stanley Cup finals only to lose in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks. On February, 26 this year he signed a three-year contract extension with the Lightning. With his offensive numbers slowly decreasing, Coburn is relied on in defensive situations during a game. The Lightning will have to lean to Coburn during these playoffs with top pairing defenceman Anton Stralman injured. Coburn and his teammates will have a hard task making it back to the Cup this season with Steven Stamkos out 1-3 months to go under the knife for a blood clot. Zach Smith, nephew of former NHL’er Barry Dean, was born in Maple Creek. Smith played parts of four seasons with the Western Hockey League for the hometown Swift Current Broncos. His final year with the Broncos saw him shatter his previous personal records for goals, assists, and points. That impressive season caught the eye of a few as the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League offered Smith an amateur tryout contract playing in six playoff games for the team. Just a few weeks later on June twentyfirst in our nation’s capital Smith heard his name called by the home team Ottawa Senators in the third round going seventy-ninth overall. The following season he reported to the Binghampton Senators of the AHL after being one of the final cuts made by the Ottawa Senators. Smith posted a strong campaign registering 24 goals, 24 assists for 48 points in his rookie year with the Senators affiliate. He also made his NHL debut that season on November 29 against the New York Islanders. He spent most of the following year with the AHL seeing 15 games in the NHL, before finally breaking through in 2010-11 playing 55 games for the Senators becoming a main stay with the club. Last season saw Smith suffer a wrist injury, keeping him out of action for nearly four months. Bouncing back strong and determined he went on to set personal records in goals with 25, and points with 36. Earning a nomination for the 2015-16 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy which is awarded to the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey. The nomination caught the left-handed shot off guard while noting that injuries in the game seem likely to happen. "You never expect to get acknowledged for something like that especially when guys are going through injuries all the time and it's part of the game," Smith said. "Personally it was a tough season last year and a tough injury timing- wise so it was good to get back into it and it's nice to be acknowleådged for it." This would be the best award Smith could win this season with the Senators not making the playoffs and certainly even the nomination of his name will garner the respect of his peers.
