Battlefords Bright Spots

Downtown NB the place to be

North Battleford’s first International Street Performers Festival begins Friday, July 25 and runs through 26 and 27. This is an event unlike any other held in the city, indeed the first of its kind in Saskatchewan.

Downtown North Battleford, 101st Street to be precise, will be the site of the festival.

Being a street performer can mean just about anything, so look for professional rovers, acrobats, comedy characters, musicians, magicians, jugglers and more, all looking for new and more entertaining ways to engage the public.

There will also be local food and artisan vendors so, while there is no admission, you better bring some pocket change for treats, and to show your appreciation when the “hat is passed around.”

Tuesday, there will be a sneak peak at the Street Performers Festival held as part of Live @ Lunch, a regular Downtown North Battleford noon gathering

featuring live performance. This Tuesday’s performers will be Torn Apart, a local band.

Thursday evening, a preperformance event is being held to showcase the sponsors of the festival.

The International Street Performers Festival proper begins Friday at 4 p.m. and will run until 8 p.m.

Saturday, hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Sunday, hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

North Battleford has become one in a circuit of three festivals, the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival, which has been going on for 30 years, and Grand Prairie’s festival of 14 years.

Edmonton’s festival attracts approximately 250,000 per year, and Downtown North Battleford Business Improvement District Executive Director Lisa McEachern is looking for about 3,500.

This could be the beginning of something very special for the Battlefords, so head downtown this weekend! jayne@newsoptimist.ca

Wash for a Cause

Bauer to replace Kaiser on the bench in N.B. Provincial Court Staff A new judge has been appointed in North Battleford.

The province announced Friday the appointment of Bruce Bauer as a North Battleford Provincial Court judge.

Bauer is replacing Judge David Kaiser, who is retiring as provincial court judge

after almost two decades on the bench in North Battleford. Kaiser was appointed in 1996.

Bauer, who was called to the bar in 1980, has extensive criminal law experience with the provincial Ministry of Justice as a senior Crown prosecutor. He also worked as senior counsel with the Public Prosecution Service

of Canada.

According to a provincial news release, Bauer has supervised employees throughout the province and mentored junior prosecutors.

He is also active in community soccer associations in Saskatoon including as a board member and a coach.

“Judge Bauer has spent

his career dedicated to public service,” said Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant in a statement.

“For over 30 years, he has been practicing criminal law in the Provincial and Queen’s Bench Courts in Saskatchewan. His professional and personal attributes make him an exceptional appointment to the bench.”

City council attendance improves

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

North Battleford councillors are making a point of showing up at council meetings.

That is based on information posted monthly on the City’s website at www. cityofnb.ca, as well as from meeting minutes and from the News-Optimist’s own attendance at council meetings.

A total of 12 regular council meetings have been held at City Hall in North Battleford for the first half of

2014. There was perfect attendance from the mayor and councillors at eight of those meetings.

It should be noted there was also a vacancy on council for the first seven meetings of 2014. Nevertheless, attendance is already better than last year, when only five of the 21 regular council meetings saw perfect attendance from elected officials.

The four regular council meetings in which the full complement of available councillors were not present were: Feb. 10, when Mayor Ian Hamilton was absent;

Man arrested on rooftop: aerial truck deployed Staff North Battleford Fire Department used their aerial truck to assist RCMP Thursday, when they helped remove a man from a rooftop on 101st Street.

According to RCMP, officers responded to a report of a man trying to fight people on 100th Street at approximately 5:45 a.m.

They say the man ran onto buildings on 101st Street and a brief chase ensued.

The man attempted to jump off a 25-foot tall building, but the pursuing RCMP officer was able to grab the man’s extended arms. Police say the man was convinced, after a minute or so, to assist the officer in dragging him back onto the roof.

NBFD was called just before 6 a.m. to help lower the man safely to the ground before being taken away by police.

He was taken into custody without any serious injuries.

The 20-year-old male remains in custody with charges pending for mischief, two counts of breach of probation and resisting arrest.

Robbery A number of car enthusiasts were on hand at Northside Esso Saturday afternoon for a good cause. Members of the nonprofit Battlefords Bent Rodz Car Club staged a breast cancer fundraiser, with proceeds going towards the Canadian Cancer Society. For $10 drivers could get their cars washed by the volunteers from the car club. The volunteers also served up burgers alongside the row of club members’ cars that were on display.

One victim required treatment at Battlefords Union Hospital after an attempted robbery at about 4:30 a.m.

Sunday.

North Batteford RCMP report two men sitting in their vehicles in a parking lot off of Territorial Drive were approached by three

individuals.

The perpetrators demanded cash and property, and one of the men appeared to be carrying a firearm, according to the RCMP. Police say one victim was attacked with bear spray before both victims were able to flee the scene.

The perpetrators also fled the area without gaining any property.

Police say the investigation is ongoing.

Alarms Ringing North Battleford Fire Department responded to a report of alarms ringing at Innovation Credit Union Sunday at about 9:15 p.m.

According to NBFD the alarm appears to have been triggered by a malfunction.

Table Burns NBFD responded to an outdoor fire at about 1:10 a.m. Monday. According to the fire department a kitchen table and chairs, being used as outdoor furniture, were smoldering when firefighters arrived at the rear of 832 – 108th Street. The area was cooled with water to prevent spread of fire and four firefighters were on the scene for about 10 minutes.

April 28 when Councillar Don Buglas was out due to illness; May 26 when Councillor Ray Fox was unavailable due to a work commitment; and June 23, when Buglas was unavailable due to illness and Fox also absent due to a work commitment.

Recording perfect attendance at the regular council meetings for the first six months of 2014 are councillors Ryan Bater, Greg Lightfoot, and Cathy Richardson.

Also recording perfect attendance is Kelli Saemann, who has attended five council meetings since being sworn in on April 28.

In addition to the regular council attendance, the city’s website lists attendance records for the Jan. 15, 20 and 23 budget deliberations.

There was perfect attendance with the exception of the Jan. 20 meeting, which Hamilton

had to miss due to illness.

In general, attendance in 2014 has seen a noticeable improvement over the past few years, in which high absenteeism was raised as an issue by various members of council.

Hamilton brought forward a notice of motion last December to have council meeting attendances posted on the City’s website on a monthly basis, along with monthly expenses claimed. Attendance records for all the leading members of city administration are also posted.

Hamilton cited the need for greater transparency as the reason for the motion, which passed at council in January.

All council and director attendances and expenditures are listed on a monthly basis at http://www.cityofnb.ca/ city_government/council_ meetings.html.

From this

CORNER

By Becky Doig Editor

An email from Mike Halstead, City of North Battleford communications manager, was received Friday that announced his departure from City Hall that day.

Halstead says he has spent nine years in the Battlefords, first at Rawlco Radio and then with the City.

He describes his experiences here in glowing terms.

“My position with the City and previously at Rawlco Radio were as excellent as the people and contacts I worked with on a regular basis. I’ll always cherish my time here and remember how welcome I felt in the community from the very beginning.”

The relationship between his office and this newsroom wasn’t always cordial, but over time I believe we grew into a position of mutual respect. Halstead at all times had the best interests of the City’s image at the forefront and his dedication to that ideal has served his employer well.

Halstead is moving on to a communications consultant position at Saskatoon City Hall. We wish him all the best in his new job.

Editorial

Are you making it easy for the criminals?

By Becky Doig Editor

A huge bouquet to the organizers of and participants in the 2014 Battleford parade Friday and the fireworks display later that evening. Parade day in Battleford is always such a heartwarming event, showing our intense pride in our community.

A boot to the person who jettisoned several boxes of garbage along Highway 16 on the bridge just before the King Hill turnoff. The resulting mess wasn’t only unsightly, it was a road hazard.

A bouquet to Downtown North Battleford business improvement district and the platoon of volunteers who are bringing a street performers festival to North Battleford later this week. The festival is one of only three hosted in Alberta/Saskatchewan, and is unique to our province. Be sure to stop downtown and support their efforts.

Personal attacks will not be printed. Letters will be rejected if they contain libelous statements or are unsigned.

Can you spot a common theme in these excerpts from the North Battleford RCMP’s daily reports?

6:13 a.m. — Theft of a 2013 Ford F150 reported from Henderson Drive. A second vehicle reported stolen from Henderson Drive about an hour later. Both vehicles recovered on the Red Pheasant First Nation in the morning.

Owners of both vehicles had left keys inside.

8:24 a.m. — 2010 white Ford F150 with Saskatchewan License 8R406 reported stolen from 1900 block of 100th Street overnight. Keys left in vehicle.

1:41 p.m. — White 2000 Ford Focus reported stolen from Clements Drive overnight. Keys believed left in vehicle.

And these?

11:54 p.m. — Patrolling member located an unsecured vehicle on Bunce Crescent that appeared to have been gone through, door left ajar.

12:03 p.m. — Vehicle parked on 1000 block of 108th Street gone through overnight. Nothing reported missing, items inside thrown around.

12:46 a.m. — Vehicle gone through on 14th Avenue.

Nothing taken, vehicle left unlocked. Reported to be three suspects.

RCMP Insp. John Sutherland recently met with the News-Optimist newsroom staff for a wide-ranging discussion of items of mutual interest.

In that discussion Insp. Sutherland said one focus of detachment members is educating the public on ways to prevent what the police see as crimes of opportunity — vehicle theft and theft of articles from vehicles.

The solution is really pretty straightforward — don’t leave keys in the vehicle and don’t leave any valuables in the cab. But as the first three excerpts illustrate, some

people still aren’t getting that message.

The following three indicate maybe the second message is being heard. RCMP say thieves will break a vehicle window to steal something as innocuous as a denim jacket, so leaving nothing enticing inside protects not only private property, but the vehicle itself.

It is evident the vehicles mentioned above were likely left unlocked, but that could have been another form of prevention in some neighbourhoods, areas where vehicle owners would rather have the cab rifled through than suffer the aggravation of repeated window replacement.

It seems like simple prevention to me, but then I’ve been hanging out with Mr. Fort Knox for some 30 odd years. He grew up along a busy highway where his family ran a business. They were always cautious about securing buildings and vehicles.

I grew up in the Southwest, far from civilization. We always knew where the keys to our vehicles were — in the ignition! But, now as an urbanite, I follow the rules — empty the cab and lock the doors. So far it’s saved me from the grief of having my vehicle or my property stolen.

My daughter learned that lesson the hard way when she left her backpack in the back seat of her locked car on a North Battleford street. The window was broken, and her fancy stereo and her entire life — bank card, drivers’ licence, school books — were stolen. If not for the highly visible backpack, the thieves might have overlooked the stereo.

My son’s wallet and ID turned up in a nearby church parking lot after he left his vehicle unlocked while parked in front of our house in Battleford and it was rifled through.

In Saskatoon, he left his iPod Touch in a transmission cradle in his car. The window was broken and the iPod stolen.

These were hard lessons, and completely avoidable. The kids didn’t get much sympathy from Mr. Fort Knox.

Are you making things easy for those always trolling for the benefits of “crimes of opportunity?”

Abbott Field: the original Field of Dreams

By Terry Lumsdon Archives Volunteer

In1910 a parcel of land south of the CN Railway and west of what is now the Don Ross Center was the location of the fair grounds and race track. In March of 1920 a meeting was held to organize North Battlefords first golf course. A nine-hole course perfectly located in this scenic location.

Immediately south off this field was King Hill. In winter the hill provided hours of entertainment; tobogganing, skiing and a huge bonfire at the base.

City of North Battleford Historic Archives Although King Hill was an attraction in winter, it was summer when Abbott Field really came to life. This field hosted many events including the Ringling Brothers Three Ring Circus. Local Boy John Spencer recalls seeing elephants roaming the

King Hill was a popular location for skiers and sledders.

North Battleford’s first golf course was located at King Hill.

area helping set up tents for the big show.

Ball Park Hill became one of Saskatchewan’s finest ball parks, displaying one of the most spectacular views of the North Saskatchewan River Valley. In 1950, it became known as Abbott Field in

Thousands flocked to Abbot Field to cheer on the Beavers in the 1950s. Archives photos memory of Jack Abbott, a gentleman who dedicated much of his life promoting sports in North Battleford.

There were two main entrances to this remarkable field. One way of entering was to walk over the power plant ravine cooling pond walkway and up the steep wooden steps. The other was to walk under the CN overpass and up the East hill.

Many of these city and rural fans may have fond memories of sitting in the shade of their cars having a picnic lunch waiting for game two of a Sunday double header.

Recorded organ music playing Take Me Out To The Ball Game welcomed fans as they filed in to the ball park.

The smells of fresh popcorn and fried onions drew them in as they came to watch their beloved Beavers.

The competition was great.

Many future Major League Baseball players were seen honing their talents playing in Abbott Field.

Some will remember chasing a foul ball or home run ball. The dilemma they faced was to either keep the ball and have Louie Green autograph it or turn it in for five cents.

Abbott Field attracted a cast of colourful and entertaining characters both on and off the field. Yvonne Tiny

Gould was Emile Francis’s mother. Although small in stature her raspy critique of the umpires kept them in check.

Umpires Moe George and Ab Bidart never shied away from a close call. The shrill laughter of Rose Lamson was unforgettable. Another avid fan, Morris Campbell, always left the crowd wanting more of his humorous remarks.

The times were changing as the community grew and once again the ball field had to move due to the building of the new bridge on Highway

16 completed in 1967.

The Beavers played their final game in Abbott Field on June 29, 1966. Carman Keller hit the very last home run in this park in a 7-0 win over the Neilburg Monarchs. The closing ceremony had fan Rose Lamson being awarded the outhouse door by Johnny Ford and Ken Nelson.

Take a drive to the scenic lookout at King Hill, close your eyes and imagine the roar of thousands of fans echoing through the river valley and Coronation Park.

Those were the days!

Carnival of Calamities

You may have noticed the big tent outside the Battlefords Co-op Aquatic Centre. It was the venue for Dr. Von Houligan’s Carnival of Calamities, which was scheduled for July 17-19.

Unfortunately, poor weather prompted cancellation of the first show. That freed up time for the ringmaster, Allister Denton, a performer and magician previously with the Impetus Magic troupe, and his other performers to show off some of the tricks they had in store for the show. These included straightjacket escapes and fire and juggling acts. The group also showcased some of their tricks at the Battleford Parade the following evening.

Headley always wanted to be a teacher Continued from Page 6 While she is more comfortable at the piano, she plays the organ for church services, and she plays the piano when she directs the St. Paul Anglican Choir, something she continues to do despite being “retired.”

“As long as I can do that I’ll be happy,” she says, “and I have the [Meota] Hobby Band. We practise every week and play once or twice a month.”

Throughout her career she has played at countless weddings and entertained at numerous events. Several times she played the Vice Regal Salute when Saskatchewan’s lieutenant governors visited the community.

She has also played at more funerals than she can count.

“I just hope whatever I’ve done has helped them to get through their difficulties of the time.”

She has a treasure trove of mementos, including cards from all those funerals, that she hopes to put into scrapbooks now that she has retired. At one time she had thought of quilting as a nice retirement hobby, but she sees the scrapbooking as something that could take a while.

Quilting, she thought, would be something she could see when she was done, unlike music that, once played, is just a memory.

“Music is very ethereal. It happens and it’s gone.”

Her mementos also speak to her other interests. She was an active member of the Women’s Institute for many years.

“It was very educational,” she says.

She joined in 1950, served as president and treasurer twice had held six of seven convenorships. She attended numerous provincial, national and international conferences and received a life membership in 1985. The local WI is no longer active, but Headley continues to be a WI member at large.

She has also been involved with the Sons of Norway, especially enjoying preparing traditional Norwegian dishes. Her mother was born in Norway.

Of course she was also involved in the Battlefords Registered Music Teachers Association. She remembers organizing an event recognizing the 35th anniversary of the branch as well honouring local teacher Ethel Weare. An invitation was spent out to one of Weare’s close friends, Joyce Johnson of Regina.

The reply came back “we” would be happy to attend.

The “we” meant her husband the lieutenant governor was also attending.

Headley says they were happy to have the queen’s representative coming, but some quick changes had to be made.

“We were having a laid back early supper of notdifficult things, with paper

plates,” she says. “That got changed to china and silverware!”

They had about a week’s notice.

“It was exciting, nervewracking, too, but we pulled it off,” she says.

After 60 years as a music teacher, Headley placed an advertisement in the paper thanking her students and announcing her retirement. It caught the attention of Gustin House in Saskatoon, a legacy of Dr. Gustin’s impact on Saskatchewan’s music scene.

She had a call, asking her for some memories of her times as a student to be included in an upcoming newsletter.

She remembers him telling his students during pedagogy classes, if you became aggravated by a student, always walk out of the room, calm yourself down and then come back.

“He never walked out of the room on me,” she laughs.

“So that was nice.”

She adds, “I only did it once.”

She had a student with a great deal of promise who decided not to take lessons any more.

“I remember just feeling really upset because she had made this terrible decision.”

Headley went to the bathroom where she cried, then washed her face, returned to the studio and dealt with it.

“I played for her wedding afterward so maybe she didn’t feel as bad as I did,” she laughs.

OBITUARIES VAN CLEEMPUT: George Edward Van Cleemput passed away peacefully on July 6, 2014 in Manning Alberta, at the age of 69 years. George was born on February 27, 1945 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan to George and Bertha Van Cleemput. He was the fifth of seven children. In May of 1966 George married the love of his life for the next 48 years, Mary. George and Mary had two children, Dean (Heather) and Julie Ann (George). In 1970 George and Mary took their family from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Pine Point, N.W.T. where they would spend the next 18 years working and raising their family. While in Pine Point George apprenticed as a welder and perfected his trade to the point that he was well known in the north for his welding abilities. While working and living in Pine Point George and Mary also purchased land in Manning, Alberta and began farming in 1977. In 1987 when Pine Point shut down George and Mary moved to the farm in Manning and the next chapter of life began.

Family was everything to George and with each grandchild his arms got bigger and there was never not enough room on his knee.

George will be lovingly by his wife of 48 years, Mary, his son, Dean (Heather) Van Cleemput, his daughter, Julie Ann (George) Klassen, his grandchildren, Amber Lea (Malcolm) Provost, Emily Klassen, Nickolas Van Cleemput and great granddaughter, Brooklyn Prevost.

Dumoulin scores Canadian Tire series win in Saskatoon

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

SASKATOON — For the sixth year in a row, Saskatchewan race fans flocked to Auto Clearing Motor Speedway for the annual mid-week stop on the NASCAR Canadian Tire series.

And this year they saw a new champion as L.P. Dumoulin of Trois-Rivieres, Que. took the checkered flag at the event July 16, riding his number 47 WeatherTech Canada/Bellemare Dodge.

The win moved Dumoulin to the lead in the NASCAR Canadian Tire series for the season by 10 points over JR Fitzpatrick.

The Saskatoon race was dominated throughout much of the night by Scott Steckly, the two-time defending champion of the event.

He started the race in pole position and spent most of the early laps in the lead, holding off Andrew Ranger for the first quarter of the race.

But a time-consuming pit stop around lap 80 set Steckly back, and he spent the next

several laps in catch-up mode as Ranger and then Jason Hathaway took the lead.

But Steckly made his way back to the front of the pack and finally caught and passed Hathaway for the lead on lap 171. Steckly stayed at the front as the race wound down.

However, a late caution came out with eight laps remaining, and that meant decisions for cars on the lead lap on whether to come into the pits to change tires for the final push to the finish.

Most drivers on the lead

lap came in for tire changes.

But Dumoulin had changed tires earlier in the race. While he was still on the lead lap, he had been running well behind and pitting would have certainly meant defeat this late in the race.

Deciding to roll the dice, the team kept Dumoulin out on the race track.

It was a strategy that moved Dumoulin right to the front of the field. But it also meant no tire changes, which raised questions whether Dumoulin’s tires would be in good enough shape to

keep him at the front after the restart.

The good news for Dumoulin is that he only had to hold off his nearest competitors for a couple of laps in a green-whitecheckered finish in order to win.

That is exactly what happened.

When the checkered flag was waved, Dumoulin had his first victory at the Velocity Prairie Thunder 250, with Hathaway, Steckly and Ranger trailing behind.

The race was notable not

only for Dumoulin’s victory but also for the presence of big name driver Alex Tagliani.

Tagliani is best known for his participation in the IndyCar series, including qualifying in the pole position at the Indianapolis 500.

Tagliani’s No. 18 machine qualified sixth in Saskatoon and did battle for the lead at one point, but one never got the sense that Tagliani’s car had the horses to win the event.

Tagliani finished well back in fifth place.

North Stars trade Charleson to AJHL’s Bobcats New Horizons winners

By Brett Smith Sports Reporter

The Battlefords North Stars continued their busy off-season with another trade Saturday afternoon.

The North Stars sent 19-year-old defenceman Latrell Charleson to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Lloydminster Bobcats for 19-year-old defenceman Brock Weston and future considerations.

In one season with the North Stars, Charleson, from Surrey, B.C., picked up five goals and 22 assists in 50 games. He added two assists during the North Stars’ playoff run. With the trade, Charleson will be joining his sixth team in five years.

M a i d s t o n e ’s We s t o n returns to Saskatchewan after spending two years in Alberta. During the 2012-13 season, he had nine points in 28 games with the Calgary Midget Flames of the Alberta

Midget AAA league. In 201314, Weston picked up a goal and 12 assists in 44 games with the Bobcats.

finish round under par

By Allie Raycraft New Horizons had 30 golfers show up for their July 14 round on a warm, sunny day.

The team of John Chomyn, Hank Nickel and Gordon Johnson finished first with a 1-under-par 35.

Merv Zulynik, Don Dill, Diane Cain and Sid Waters placed second with an even par round of 36.

Art Strueby, Frank Simpson, Dave Page and John Dove claimed third place with a 3-over-par 39 on a countback with Lyle Whitbread, Brian and Betty Boechler and Norm Soiseth.

Consolation was won by Wally and Marian McNabb, Dick Blom and Peter Pauls.

In individual awards, Diane Cain won the closest to the pin on No. 8. The winner of a car wash for longest putt on No. 9 was John Dove.

No ‘outright panic’ in Rider Nation

By Rod Pederson Voice of the Riders

They’re not mad in the Rider Nation.

Yet. These ardent football fans in the Wheat Province – considered to be the most knowledgeable in the Canadian loop – realize we are only three games into an 18-game season and there are all kinds of twists and turns ahead.

However, one look at the CFL West Division standings right now is enough to put a pit in your stomach.

Saskatchewan Roughriders. 1-2.

Dead last.

Gulp.

It seems like forever since the Saskatchewan Roughriders were in the division basement, however it wasn’t that long ago. It was the 2011 season to be exact, when the Riders started off 1-7, costing rookie coach Greg Marshall his job. Ken Miller took over, but could only muster a 4-6 record the rest of the way, leaving the Riders at a woeful 5-13.

That 2011 season is considered but a blip on the screen for a franchise which has appeared in four of the past seven Grey Cups. The new “Montreal Alouettes” as it were, but something’s gone wrong out of the gate

FUNERAL DIRECTORS Gordon Marshall Doug Hanley

this summer.

We’ve chronicled in this space over the past few weeks about how the Saskatchewan Roughriders have repeatedly shot themselves in the foot on the way to consecutive doubledigit losses. I usually hate this phrase but in this case it’s true. The other teams didn’t win it, the Riders simply lost it.

And that’s why the Rider Nation is waffling right now. During last week’s bye in the schedule, every fan and Rider observer I encountered on the streets or in coffee shops and restaurants had the exact same expression and question. They smirked and asked, “What’s wrong with the Riders right now?”

It left the impression that there’s mild concern amongst the fan base, but not outright panic. Sure, there are many citizens of the Rider Nation running around in a panic, but that’s the way they like it. Those folks aren’t happy unless they’re unhappy and the team’s losing.

However, the reasonable fans can see what’s going on. This is a team with a massively overhauled roster and it’s taking a while to come together. The only problem is it’s taking longer than the team would like, but we’re only one-sixth of the way through the schedule.

“In the bigger perspective we have to understand we’re only three games into the year and we’ve played one good football game and two bad ones,” Riders assistant GM Jeremy O’Day reasoned on CKRM radio during the bye week. “We’re a team that’s had some turnover and have some guys in new positions and we need some time to get that cohesiveness together. We need to get the guys working on the same page but it doesn’t happen overnight in pro football. You can’t just plug a guy in and think it’ll be like normal. It’ll take some time but we’ll improve. The good news is we have room to improve.”

Here, here.

We’re hoping – and expecting – to see a different Roughrider team show up from its nine days off with a fresh attitude and refreshed will to win. The team also showed it means business by closing its very first practice of the week to the fans and media a la the NFL. It appears they mean business.

We’ll find out Saturday when Dwight Anderson and the Toronto Argonauts come to town for an 8 p.m. kickoff.

Oh the possibilities!

PAGE 15 - Tuesday, July 22, 2014

Learning to cope with the valleys of life In the natural world, valleys can often be beautiful, and appealing. But as a metaphor they are sometimes used to represent life’s perils.

Coming to mind is Tennyson’s famous poem about the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War. “Into the valley of Death / Rode the six hundred.” The best known biblical instance, with quite a different mood, is found in the familiar 23rd Psalm, where David declares, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You [Lord] are with me.” (vs.

4) What made the difference for David was the presence and loving care of God, his “Shepherd.” (vs. 1) Descending from the pleasant sunlit peaks of daily experience into the shadowy unknowns of the future can be a daunting thing. What will tomorrow hold, of loss or pain? How will we cope?

The Lord doesn’t promise us a smooth and sunny path through all of life. But when we trust in Him, and acknowledge His presence, as David did, we can be assured of His sustaining power and daily provision. “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” the Lord says. (Heb. 13:5) And in the struggles of time we must not forget

that day came from another hymn writer, William Cushing, who also gave us beautiful songs such as Hiding in Thee, and Under His Wings.

But, in this case, Ira Sankey simply took the opening line of the new hymn poem, and created from it a stirring gospel song of his own.

The line was, “There’ll be no dark valley when Jesus

Robert Cottrill, B.A., B.R.E. http://wordwisehymns.com/ www.Wordwise Bible Studies.com the dawning of eternity. For the Christian, the afflictions of today ultimately will give way to unending blessing.

The prophet Ezekiel got a glimpse of that in a Godgiven vision concerning the future of Israel. In his vision, Ezekiel found himself in a valley that was full of dry bones (Ezek. 37:1-2). Then the Lord asked him, “Son of man, can these bones live?” (vs. 3) The answer proved to be that they could, by the power of God (vs. 4-5). The meaning, explained to the prophet, was that his people, then in bondage in Babylon, would one day be revived and restored, and that forever. (vs. 21-23) For the Christian, there is the promise of resurrection glory, at the second coming of Christ. “I will come again,” said the Lord to His followers, “and receive you to Myself; that where I am,

there you may be also.” (Jn. 14:3) To which we can say with confidence, “In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” (Ps. 16:11) “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Rev. 21:4) In short, no more valleys! One day in 1896, Ira Sankey received a suggested text for a new gospel song with that theme. Ira David Sankey (1840-1908) was music director and soloist for evangelist Dwight L. Moody. He filled a similar role to what Bev Shea would do more recently, with Billy Graham. But Sankey was much more, a songwriter and music publisher of some prominence.

The song lyric arriving

comes.”

In my library I have a scratchy recording of the song, made about two years later. The soloist is Mr. Sankey himself. In ill health, the ravages of time having greatly depleted the power and richness of his voice, he still sings with the firm assurance, “There’ll be no dark val-

ley when Jesus comes / To gather His loved ones home.”

Succeeding stanzas promise, “There’ll be no more sorrow when Jesus comes....There’ll be no more weeping when Jesus comes ….There’ll be songs of greeting when Jesus comes; / And a joyful meeting when Jesus comes / To gather His loved ones home.”

So let the sunshine in A toe-tapping ditty was popular a few years back: “So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin. Smilers never lose and frowners never win … open up your heart and let the sunshine in.”

This week two occasions gave me cause to contemplate these words. The first involved a person I hadn’t seen for months; the other, my raspberry patch.

First to my acquaintance.

As I neared this person in the produce department of one of our local grocery stores I made the mistake of asking, “Hi. How are you?” You’d think I’d have learned by now. Out poured a litany of negativity and even the news of her recent adventures was marked by a pronounced

lack of enthusiasm. I would love to spend more time with this lady but honestly, the on-going blame for everything on everybody else, is off-putting to say the least. I wanted to sing a verse of that song to her.

The raspberry bush was far more productive, in more ways than one. I picked a heaping ice cream pail full of the delectable fruit but was sad to say probably another third of a bucket was tossed

out because of mould and it was our own fault. The bushes grew thick and tall this year, nurtured by plenty of water and blistering heat.

They were so lush, in fact, that air wasn’t circulating and fruit was wasted. Just yesterday I pruned and thinned and based on my observations today, I’ll probably get an even bigger harvest tomorrow. It was a matter of letting the sunshine in.

“Blessed-happy and fortunate (to be envied) are all those who earnestly wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him, for His victory, His favour, His love, His peace, His joy and His matchless unbroken companionship,” Isaiah 3)18a, AMP Heavenly sunshine!

Spend some quality family time together. Worship at the church of your choice.
