Volume 108 No. 37

North Battleford, Sask.

Tuesday, April 19, 2016

In the news this week Staff The weather has taken a turn for the better, but unfortunately the community’s criminal element is also enjoying the return of warm weather.

Battlefords RCMP are reporting an upswing in “vehicle shopping” and also in break-ins, especially in Battleford and surrounding area.

Police say the shoppers are easily deterred by removing all valuables from cabs and locking doors.

It is straightforward common sense, but an instance of carelessness can be costly.

The break-ins are said to be mainly to residential garages, so again police are advising residents to lock doors and to report any suspicious activity to the RCMP.

Fire Chiefs on Target

There were many heavy topics addressed by the fire chiefs in attendance at the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs conference in the Battlefords on the weekend, but also some time for a little fun and stress relief. The fire chiefs were in Battleford Friday evening at Battle River Archers, where they had a chance to shoot arrows at targets and get some exposure to the sport of archery.

Under the Rainbow Spring Fair

For the 15th year the Battlefords and Area Sexual Assault Centre hosted their Under the Rainbow Spring Fair and Trade Show. The event was held Sunday afternoon at the Gold Eagle Casino Events Centre. While the Sexual Assault Centre receives funds from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice and the United Way, donations and fundraising events pay for the remaining costs and this event is their major fundraiser of the year. Booths from 26 exhibitors were set up with items on sale and there was also a silent auction featuring items donated by a number of area businesses. Photos by John Cairns

Tourism Awards Gala Staff

It was a massive night for North Battleford at the Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence as three major awards were handed out at the ceremonies in Regina Thursday It was a very big night for Gold Eagle Lodge in North Battleford. It took two awards. One was the Service Excellence Award sponsored by the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce and the other was Business of the Year for over 20 full-time employees.

The other win for the city came in Community Event of the Year, won by the North Battleford International Street Performer Festival.

A dozen awards were handed

out at the event at the Conexus Arts Centre on April 14.

A 15-person external panel picked the 33 finalists and 11 award recipients, while the Tourism Builder Award was chosen by a panel of industry veterans, a member of Tourism Saskatchewan’s board and a member of its executive leadership.

“Creativity, innovation and a commitment to great hospitality and service were clearly on display tonight,” said Tourism Saskatchewan CEO Mary Taylor-Ash in a release.

“Tourism Saskatchewan is proud to host this annual celebration of our industry and acknowledge the exceptional people who make Saskatchewan travel experiences special

and memorable. The gala provides an opportunity to publicly say ‘thank you’ to those whose vision, leadership and commitment to service excellence make our province an inviting destination.”

“The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to acknowledge the accomplishments of those honoured at the 27th annual Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence Gala,” Minister Responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said in a statement.

“The award recipients and finalists’ hard work and dedication to building a vibrant tourism industry benefits our province, and makes Saskatchewan a great place to work, live and visit.”

Break-in alert

Residential garages targeted Staff The Battlefords RCMP are alerting the public to a number of break and enters in the town of Battleford and the surrounding area.

Police say entry is typically gained into residential garages resulting in thefts of property and vehicles. Property owners are encouraged to secure their residences, garages, outbuildings and vehicles. Exterior lighting and security systems are also great preventative measures, police say.

They also advise residents to report any and all suspicious activity to the RCMP.

Lock Vehicles Remove Valuables

It’s spring, the weather is getting warmer, and unfortunately thieves are out in full force looking for things to steal from parked vehicles.

Battlefords RCMP have issued a reminder to vehicle owners to ensure they remove all valuables from their vehicles and also to lock their vehicles at night.

The reminder comes in the wake of several complaints from North Battleford, Battleford and West Park residents to the RCMP about thefts of valuables from their vehicles.

These incidents are oc-

curring at all hours of the night, according to RCMP. Police say removing valuables and locking the doors will go a long way to preventing these crimes.

Anyone with information regarding this or any other crime is urged to contact Battlefords RCMP Detachment at 306-446-1720 or, to remain anonymous contact

Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477), submit a tip via their website: http:// saskcrimestoppers.com/ or text in a tip: TIP206 + your tip to CRIMES (274637).

Wotherspoon named leader of Opposition

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The Saskatchewan NDP now has in place a leader of the Opposition in the legislature.

He is Regina Rosemont MLA Trent Wotherspoon, who had previously served as deputy leader of the party in the legislature.

Wotherspoon was elected to the position Friday by members of the NDP caucus.

He takes over after the resignation April 11 of Cam Broten as leader of the NDP. Broten was defeated in the riding of Saskatoon Westview in the provincial election April 4, an election in which the NDP won only 10 out of 61 seats.

Wotherspoon has been in the legislature since 2007 and has served as opposition critic for finance, edu-

cation, economy, municipal relations and urban affairs.

He also served as critic for SaskPower and SaskEnergy and chaired the Public Accounts Committee.

He ran for the party leadership in 2013, finishing in third place on the first ballot behind both Cam Broten and Ryan Meili.

It had been speculated Wotherspoon might run again for the permanent leader’s position when that race is held. Reports Friday, however, indicate Wotherspoon has decided not to seek the permanent leadership and will stick to an interim role.

It should be noted his appointment is for the role of “leader of the Opposition.”

The “interim leader of the NDP” must still be elected, and the provincial council and caucus will still meet

April 23 for that decision.

However, it seems all but certain Wotherspoon will take on that title as well.

Also at the caucus meeting Friday, David Forbes, MLA for Saskatoon Centre, was elected caucus chair in the new legislature, a position he has held since 2011.

In a news release, Forbes welcomed the appointment of Wotherspoon and indicated a desire to get to work.

“We are excited to have Trent as the leader of the official Opposition and we are excited to get going on the very important work ahead,” Forbes said in a statement.

“The legislature will be called back soon and there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed. All the NDP MLAs are set to work hard to hold this government to account and deliver for the people of Saskatchewan.”

This could hurt the legal case for medical users to grow their own pot.

CORNER

Walk in and be impressed

By Becky Doig Editor

Until last summer, it had been several years since I’d had the misfortune of spending time at Battlefords Union Hospital emergency department. My children were grown and living away from the community and I had an uncharacteristically long run of not injuring myself in some bloody way, requring stitches or glass removal.

Some elderly folks have come into our care recently, however, and with their various health problems and, in one case, a mishap, our family has again become frequent visitors to emergency.

Last summer the problem wasn’t really an emergency, but the mishap occurred on a Saturday and at that time there was no where else to turn. As expected, the wait was long and tedious. In the end it was determined no bones were broken and no concussion had occurred. We sighed with relief and made our way home after expending most of a Saturday afternoon and heading on into evening.

Fast forward to this Saturday when another elder was needing care. Instead of heading to BUH she was taken to the Twin City Medical Centre’s walk-in clinic. There she was courteously dealt with and we were out of there in about 45 minutes. Wow! What a difference.

I chatted with the woman working there, asking if the clinic has been busy since it opened in November. She said they have been, and have been told by the Prairie North Health Region the service has had an impact on wait times at BUH emergency department.

Two physicians serve the walk-in patients and will also take on new patients for those seeking a family physician.

Everyone from reception to the physician’s assistant was kind, caring, courteous and helpful. Not that those who work in ER are not all these things, but in that harried environment people with “non-emergency” problems often feel they are not wanted there at all.

So, next time you have an injury that needs treating but isn’t life threatening, or some other health issue that needs dealt with on a Saturday or during the evenings Monday to Friday, bypass BUH and head on over to the Twin City Medical Clinic at 1102 - 103rd St. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Champions of mental health to be honoured Submitted

Mental Health Centre

Dr. Magdelena Marcelo and Theresa Knutson, RPN, are being recognized at this year’s Champions of Mental Health Gala taking place at the Dekker Center Saturday, April 30.

They will be given awards in the staff category.

In the community category, Dianne Grondin from Fisher’s Drug Store and Innovation Credit Union will be honoured.

The gala is hosted annually by the Battlefords Mental Health Centre to recognize those who have made a great difference in the lives of those suffering from mental illness during the past year and throughout their careers.

Dr. Marcelo began working in North Battleford in 1968.

“She has a larger than life presence and energy that cannot be duplicated.

As a psychiatrist, she has treated her patients with dignity, respect and caring.

She is retiring this year and she will be sorely missed by her patients and other clinicians,” says centre manager and Champions of Mental Health committee member Johann Engelke, RPN. Theresa Knutson has worked passionately for mental health since 1982, first at Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford and more recently as a community mental health nurse at the Battlefords Mental Health Center, says Engelke.

“I have known Theresa since 1999 when I started myself as a care aide. Her genuine and caring manner is one that I try to emulate every single day of my career.”

Let us delve into the delicious realm of lettuce

By Janet Beaubien Already, I’m calling these bits of green, these brave sprouts, Lettuce Plants. During the night, six pale shoots poked through the soil where they washed to the edges of the small tray I prepared a few days ago.

Each stem has a tiny flag, an oval yellow-green leaf. The April sky is soft grey so I’ve moved the seedlings to an upstairs window. I’m trying to resist the urge to send a picture of them to my sister.

I like lettuce. I like to grow lettuce. I like to eat lettuce. I like to say lettuce: Let-us, a light, summery, airy, optimistic word. There’s nothing sticky about the word lettuce like the word “allow,” another word I like that pops into my head as I think about lettuce.

I found the lettuce seeds in a store one day a couple of months ago when I was walking around my new neighbourhood. I gave the seeds a shake just for the pleasure of listening to them

The woman at the till at the store said the seeds cost 35 cents. My first thought was, nothing costs 35 cents. I could pay for the seeds with the tap of a card, if I wanted to, but I couldn’t readily type the price of these seeds on any of the keyboards on the phones, tablets or computers I use now. Later when slide around inside the paper package.

Not the least bit distracted by the pictures of flowers

on the other packets of seeds, or it would seem, hungry, because the other vegetables held no attraction, I

decided to buy the lettuce seeds. I did this even though our front porch is only large enough for one flower pot and a bicycle, and our backyard is a long narrow strip of shared grass and a tiny, but promising, stick tree.

The package of seeds didn’t have a price.

As my grandmother would say, this “didn’t make a particle of difference.” As I type this memory, I also can hear my mother’s voice telling me to finish weeding the row. She had a green thumb.

I opened some files and clicked on some arrows, I found a cent sign key buried under an editing sub-subsection called symbols. All along, in my mind, I could see the number 35 and C with a line through it.

We were the only people in the store and it didn’t matter that this transaction

was taking an old-fashioned amount of time. I was sure I’d misunderstood what the woman had said. Were the seeds so old they wouldn’t grow? I wondered if I should bother to buy them.

And then delighted, I paid for the lettuce seeds in cash — two pieces of silver, a quarter and a dime.

Bruin: s k n a r e h t n i g n Risi of country music

By John Cairns newsoptimist.john@sasktel.net

but it was a lot was a six-month process of fun.” , includes The album, Dirt Junkie top 100 the de ma t three singles tha Canadian Country Radio charts: the first track, Have a Drink With Me at number 80, I Don’t Need to Get Lucky Tonight that was released last fall and went to number 87 and These Days, which Br uin says made it to number 89. He says he’ll be ready to release another to radio in the next couple of weeks.

The style of music on Dirt Junkie is what Br uin describes as what you’d hear “if the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band were to be a band today, you know, kind of modern-sounding.”

People seem to have their own favourites on the album.

“Every song is different, and everybody seems to have their own favourite for songs, you know, about having a good time and about living life and love and so there’s really something for everybody, young and old.”

Early this year Br uin has been on the road, taking his music to the southern hemisphere.

Swimming with Dolphins

By Reise Piller

I was over the top excited. I had never done this before, the fear of swimming with them gave me goose bumps. My parents always said don’t knock it before you try it … I was about to try it.

“Hurry up!” I said with an annoying tone to my mom.

At last we were going out the door of my hotel room and on our way to the taxi that was driving us to swim with the dolphins. All of us were in our swim suits and it was a bazillion degrees in there.

Sweat dripped down my forehead into my mouth, it was disgusting because it was already stinky in the taxi.

“Finally,” I said with relief.

I was so agitated thinking about swimming with dolphins. While we were waiting, we were able to hold two parrots. One was a bright blue and one was a sweet red. I held the bright blue one and got a picture taken. Meanwhile, my older sister found a pretty grey cat and fell in love with it. After a couple of minutes, a lady came and took us to some benches by the dolphins. We were paired up with a really nice family.

“Wow!” my sister said with amazement.

There they were, swimming with excitement.

“Jump in when I say go!” the lady said.

Everyone jumped in the pool except for me. I was too scared, so I just put my feet in the pool. I finally got in because of my courage. The two dolphins swam all around me. They were the silkiest thing in the world. I was overwhelmed of how giant the dolphins looked and started to cry. After that, we were all supposed to do this trick with the dolphins and hang onto their fins on the top of their backs.

Everyone went, all of a sudden it was my turn. I was so nervous, I wanted to get out of the pool but my dad wouldn’t let me.

“Just get on my back and I will carry you!” My dad said.

I went onto my dad’s back and went to the other side of the pool.

So when we were on the other side of the pool we got to dance, rub their belly, and give the dolphins a kiss. I didn’t do it.

The next trick we were supposed to do was a trick called the belly ride. You would get into pairs and I was with my dad. My two older sisters were together, and my mom and my little sister were together.

It was my turn, the dolphins were floating right in front of me. I swam over to one and got on. Smiles grew on everyone’s faces and everyone was cheering, just for me. Excitement zoomed through my body and the smell of the clean water was amazing.

“Let go!” the lady said.

High fives were all around, hugs as well. For our last trick, we had to plug our noses and they would make a farting noise. It was really funny, we all laughed. When we were all dried off there was a little show that the dolphins did. It was awesome.

Swimming with the dolphins was breath taking. Even though the dolphins looked ginormous to me, they’re one of the softest, most beautiful, loving creatures I know. What I learned from this wonderful experience is to never judge a book by its cover because inside there could be a wonderful story.

Lawrence School students share their writing projects – one personal narrative and two voices poems.

Final thoughts from Head Coach Kevin Hasselberg

By Dustin Saracini Sports Reporter

DS: Reflecting on the year, one that will see two banners go up to the rafters as the next campaign kicks off, how would you define this memorable season?

From beginning to end, is there a moment that you will always remember?

KH: I will remember the brotherhood! These young men and the staff made this season so much fun. The dedication to each other, the commitment to the process and the love for one another are the things that stand out most to me. I will forever remember this group and the season they had.

DS: Jake McMillen, Tyler Fuhr, Rory Davidson, Dustin Gorgi, Jordan Wiest, Igor Leonenko, Reed Delainey, Jordan Townsend and Baxter Kanter will all be leaving the team and moving on with their hockey careers. What can you say about these players, as they were all instrumental to the success of the North Stars this season.

Kevin Hasselberg KH: McMillen - Our team scholar. From one battle to the next, Jake was dedicated to the North Stars. He's a young man that would not have worn another jersey in his junior career, and probably would've quit if that scenario ever existed. He knew the difference between right and wrong as it relates to the North Star way. His mark has been etched in the walls of the room and that part of our culture will never change. Pure class. You will be missed and never

forgotten, Jake! Thank you for putting up with me for four years, Mclovin!

Fuhrsy - Probably understands junior hockey the most. This young man lives life and lives honestly!

When it's time to work, Tyler works, when it's time to have fun, Tyler has fun. He saved the best saves for the North Stars and taught our younger players a lot. Everyone who know's Tyler at a personal level understands him, loves him and appreciates him because he

80% of Canadians read the newspaper every week.

is real. Thank you for your short time with the North Stars!

Davidson is a pure warrior! Played the playoffs with a shoulder he should not have been playing with.

Why did you pick Drumheller, Rory? From the first day I saw Rory play I knew he would play for the North Stars. Explosive, intense, determined, never quit! This is a tough farm kid with a huge heart, the future is bright for any team, business or association that has Rory as a part of their team. Thank you for your effort, Davy!

Gorgi - Dusty was a big brother in the room, his presence off the ice will be missed as much as his presence on the ice. They say the human body consists of 50 - 65 per cent water, well

BP

LTD.

battlefords publishing ltd.

Dusty has to be at least 85!

His goal celebrations will be legendary, always something new and never boring. Simply put, he loved to score! You are a true gentleman, Dusty. You made players around you better.

What an honour you were to coach!

Wiesty - Keep your head up when this young man is

on the ice. I will tell stories about the hit on Tyson Empey! Character, pure character is Jordan Wiest. This is a young man that in one breath can hit every adrenaline cell in your body and have you and the team ready to fight! In another breath, he could have you rolling on the ground laughing.

Hasselberg says farewell to graduating players Continued from Page 9 You kept it real, Jordan!

No one in this lifetime will have to guess who you are, and no one can say they are Jordan Wiest, you are one of a kind and success will follow you, my friend!

When the game becomes hard mentally, you bring everyone back to reality and remind us why we play this game. When you pop that question, Wiesty, I'll be there!

Igor, it's time to make the jump big man! You're ready for the pro game! You wowed our fans with your abilities and you did it because you understand this important life quality, "what you do in the dark, will come to the light." Don't let anything stand in your way Igs, especially your biggest obstacle, adversity. Kick it to the side, go right through it and remember how hard you are capable of working and remember my foot isn't far behind to give you that extra boost. You can do it!

Delainey - We haven't seen the best of this young man yet! Here's the thing, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Pro speed is what we have seen from Reed and that same speed will make him a fantastic college player for years

ahead. I will miss challenging Reed the most. When you light the fire in his belly it's like shifting his transmission into overdrive, the look on his face says I will shove it up your _ _ _. And he usually does. Skate your way to a national championship, Reed! Your charisma and outgoing personality are special qualities that make you successful. Believe in yourself and love the game like all those players in Edam do.

Towny - This is a young man with a healing touch.

He truly and passionately cared deeply about his teammates. I guess in a sense you can call him the big brother, there to pick up when someone was struggling and would give the shirt off his back if it helped someone in need. I was hard on Jordan, challenging him along the journey, and through all the pushing he was more concerned about the wellbeing of another than himself. He played sick, hurt, sore, it didn't matter. Everything made sense in our exit meeting, Towny. You truly will have the healing touch.

Thank you for your dedication these past two seasons.

Bax - How do you replace a player that strikes fear in the opponent like

The farewell barbecue was held and more awards were given out. Be sure to check the Regional Optimist for more. Photo by Dustin Saracini

Baxter did. Arguably the most improved player over two seasons with our team.

I don't think we’ll ever see a player in the league that actually fought a dozen times, however only credited with five fights. His hits were thunderous, his shot was overpowering and his game is one of a kind. As you go to the college game, believe this, if you continue to improve like you are, we will expect tickets to your first NHL game! Thank you for the memories, Bax! DS: I know you will be busy this off-season, but what are your plans? How will you look to fill in these

holes?

KH: We will find players, whether through trade, recruit or develop from within. Our team will contend again. I will hit the road, work the phones and pick up the pieces and we'll be back stronger than before.

DS: The series against Flin Flon had two passionate teams going head-tohead. Three of five games were decided in the final minute or in overtime. From your perspective, was this series the definition of playoff hockey? A few bounces could’ve changed the series.

KH: Absolutely. Thank you, fans. Your support was

amazing. For the returning players, our staff is confident we learned a lot about what it takes to be successful in this league. The SJHL is the toughest league to win. We are learning how.

DS: What was the mentality of your team ahead of the deciding game five?

KH: We wanted to win.

To a man in that dressing room these players and staff wanted to win. We ensured the preservation of energy with fluids and nutrients between periods and really in the end, it was inches that decided the game, not energy.

DS: Heading into double overtime, what can you say about the way your team constantly battled for one another throughout the year and playoffs? Guys were never scared to lay their body on the line for each other and as a coach, this must be fulfilling.

KH: Leadership developed this culture in our room and I believe the leadership from this group will imprint something in this organization forever. You can't win without solid leadership and we have some of the best.

DS: The North Stars prospects camp has come and gone in the last week.

Are there players that have the ability to step right in and make a difference next year?

KH: Absolutely there are players we feel can step in from that camp. We are excited about the players we have seen! Above and beyond skill, talent and skating, to be a North Star you have to want to be here! You have to have passion for what hockey is, to be a team player that cares about the opportunity and will care about the Battlefords Community.

Giving vegetable vines a head start this spring

By Jackie Bantle

lings that look chlorotic (yellow), appear stunted and resist growth immediately after transplanting are probably suffering from transplant shock.

Reduce transplant shock in vine vegetable seedlings by minimizing root disturbance. Transplant them when their root systems are still small or grow them in a medium that resists root disturbance during transplanting. This is easily done by using Jiffy no. 7 peat pots.

Soak the compressed peat pellets/discs in warm water for five to 10 minutes to saturate them and cause them to expand from 0.5 to 5cm in height. The expanded peat pot is surrounded by a biodegradable netting with a hole on the top end of the peat pot. Insert the seed in the hole of the wet Jiffy no.

7. Do not remove the netting.

Once the seeds are sown, place the Jiffy no. 7s ‘hole

7s as excess moisture will cause the seeds to rot.

Depending on the vegetable, seedlings should emerge within seven to 10 days and will be ready for transplanting outdoors within 14 days.

Hardening off the vegetable vine seedlings prior to planting outdoors is extremely important. Place them outdoors in a sheltered

soil. Any portion of the peat pot that is exposed above the soil surface will act as a wick, drawing water away from the tender transplant.

Not all vegetable vines need to be transplanted. I always seed cucumbers and pumpkins directly into the garden soil as I have a sheltered garden that warms up early in the spring. The key to direct seeding into garden soil is to provide warm soil for fast and efficient seed germination. Cool soil encourages seed rot before germination can take place.

The lottery is a weekly modified 50/50 draw. All tickets sold for a week (Tuesday thru Monday) go into a drum and a single ticket is drawn at 9 am Tuesday at Lakeland Veterinary Services. That individual receives 20% of that week’s ticket sales. 30% goes into the progressive pot and 50% goes to the Society’s building fund. The weekly winner gets one chance to draw a pet tag from a drum. If he or she draws the tag which reads Ace of Diamonds they win the progressive pot. There are 52 tags in the drum to start. A designated individual can draw the tag for you if you wish.

There is no carry over of tickets from one week to the next. Every Tuesday a new draw starts so tickets are purchased each week.

Once the Ace of Diamonds is drawn the lottery will restart with the progressive pot starting at $500. The lottery will run for a year, restarting each time the Ace of Diamonds is drawn. There are a total of 500,000 tickets for the year.

The first draw is March 1, 2016 and each Tuesday thereafter until Feb. 14, 2017. The May 3rd draw will occur on April 30, 2016 at the Gala held at the Gold Ridge Centre at 10 pm.

Tickets will be sold at the Shelter and Lakeland Veterinary Services or can be purchased by calling 306-937-6369(meow) or 306-490-7387(pets).

Meadow Lake

Many vine crops such as muskmelon, cucumber, winter squash, pumpkins and watermelon need a “head start” in Saskatchewan. The length of our growing season is just not long enough for them to go from seed to harvest outdoors. They require warm soil and air for seed germination, optimum plant growth and fruit maturation. Furthermore, the old maxim that the larger the transplant, the earlier the crop, does not hold true for vine seedlings. Larger vine seedlings usually experience severe transplant shock and delayed growth.

It’s best to transplant vine seedlings after only one true leaf has emerged. In the case of these vines, the first two “leaves” to emerge are the cotyledons (seed storage organs and first photosynthetic tissues). They usually look much different than the plant’s real or true leaves.

The third “leaf” that emerges in a vine transplant is called the first “true leaf.” If more than one true leaf has emerged before transplanting, the seedling is more likely to undergo transplant shock, resulting in stunted growth or even death. Seed-

SaskPower fridge recycling program enters final year Last chance to get your old appliance removed and recycled at no cost Submitted SaskPower

SaskPower’s fridge recycling program is back for its final year. As in previous years, people can call or book online and a crew will pick up old fridges or freezers and recycle them, for free.

“You can save up to $130 a year on your power bill by removing your old fridge or freezer,” says SaskPower Director of

Customer Programs Janson Anderson.

“We’ll do the heavy lifting so you have more time to barbecue at home or relax at the cottage.”

SaskPower strives to offer programs that yield the most power savings for customers and after six years and more than 31,000 appliances recycled, many of the power-guzzling fridges in the province have been recycled.

Customers who recycled

their fridge through the program helped save roughly 4.6 megawatts of power. That is enough to power nearly 4,500 homes annually. Along with saving money on power bills, participating in the program supports the disposal of old appliances in an environmentally responsible way.

“We recycle the components of your appliances properly so freon, mercury and hydrocarbons stay out of landfills and our

environment” says Anderson.

“Whether you’re from the city, the farm or have old appliances at the cottage, SaskPower can help you get rid of your old fridge or freezer. Don’t put it off any longer. Get rid of that old appliance this year.”

SaskPower customers have the power to save. Book your appointment by Aug. 31 online or by phone. Visit SaskPower.com/ we-haul or call 1-877-SKRECYCLE.

At a glance:

• 2016 is the last year to participate in SaskPower fridge recycling program.

• SaskPower removes and recycles appliances from 2004 and older at no cost – more than 31,000 since 2011.

• Appliances are disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and customers can save up to $130 per year on their power bill.

• Over six years, customers participating have helped save enough electricity to power 4,500 homes.

The family of Harriet Erickson is sad to announce her passing April 9, 2016, after making her final goal: celebrating her 88th birthday.

Mom was born in Stockton, California March 5, 1928 to Harry and Magdalene Herrmann. She met Robert Erickson at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. They married and moved to Canada as a new pastor and pastor’s wife, and lived in various spots across the prairies.

Mom retired from teaching kids with special needs in North Battleford, Saskatchewan in 1988. In 2005 Bob and Harriet made the move to Menno Place in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Harriet was predeceased by her parents, sister Anella Swanson, husband Robert Erickson (2012), and grandson Aden Glatt (2011).

She is survived and cherished by her children: Deb Erickson (Michael Murdock), Dave Erickson, Steve Erickson, Ruth Glatt (Alan Glatt), grandchildren and great-grandchildren, sisters and brothers-in-law; and many nieces and nephews. In her later years she loved her morning walks, time spent with family, her church, and fellow residents of Menno Home. The memorial service was held at Peace Lutheran Church Friday April 15th. Donations in her memory can be made to Cancer or Alzheimers Society or the charity of your choice. Online condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.bakerviewcrematorium.com _____________________________________________________ GABRUCH: Norene “Noni” Ellen Gabruch, a life-time resident of the Battlefords, passed away Wednesday April 6, 2016 at her home in north battleford.

PAGE 19 - Tuesday, April 19, 2016

Enjoying the heavenly sunlight of God’s grace Sunlight can be dazzling! Go outside on a cloudless summer day and it’s almost blinding.

Winter can be even worse.

With all that white snow, snow blindness is a serious danger.

Did you even wonder how penguins manage, living out their lives in the intense glare of a polar sun? They can’t exactly put on a pair of sunglasses as we do. The answer is our Creator has provided them with a built-in sun screen.

The penguin’s eyes produce a special fluid that creates a film filtering out blue and ultraviolet wavelengths.

This protects their eyes from harm, and gives them excellent vision. Birds of prey, such as eagles and hawks, have the same fluid, so they can see to hunt in bright sunshine.

The sun’s light is important for light and heat and for promoting growth in the plant world. But God has provided various ways, both natural and man-made, for us to make sure we get enough, but not too much.

For most of His earthly stay, the heavenly glory of the Son of God was veiled.

But there was an occasion when He revealed it to three of His disciples. The Bible says He took Peter, James and John up into a mountain, where “He was transfigured before them.

Robert Cottrill, B.A., B.R.E. http://wordwisehymns.com/ www.Wordwise‐Bible‐Studies.com

His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.” (Matt.

17:2) That same comparison to sunlight is made other times. When Paul met with the risen, glorified Christ at midday, on the road to Damascus, he says, “I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun.” (Acts 26:13) And when John saw Christ later, and received the prophetic visions recorded in Revelation, he says, “His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.”

(Rev. 1:16) But there’s another dimension of this to consider. In addition to the visible glory of the Lord, there is the glory light of His presence experienced spiritually, when we trust in Christ for salvation. The Bible speaks of “the light of the gospel.” (II Cor. 4:4) The good news of salvation is “as a light that shines in a dark place.” (I Pet. 1:19) To be a lost sinner, is to

be in spiritual darkness. But when a sinner trusts in the Saviour, the transformation is described as going from darkness to light. “For you were once darkness, but now

you are light in the Lord.”

(Eph. 5:8; cf. II Cor. 4:6) “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.”

(Col. 1:13). Christians are “sons of light.” (I Thess. 5:5) Judson Wheeler Van DeVenter (1855-1939) attended college in Michigan, then taught in the public schools for 15 years. He served in the art department, becoming an overseer in that area designated as the supervisor of drawing.

During that time he was an active layman, sang in the

church choir and eventually obtained a licence to preach.

Around 1896, he switched to a career in evangelism, working with evangelist Wilbur Chapman and others, in both America and Britain. Toward the end of his life, Mr. Van DeVenter lived in Florida.

For several years he was professor of hymnology at the Florida Bible Institute.

There he had a significant influence on a young evangelist named Billy Graham.

Van DeVenter wrote many hymns. One pub-

lished in 1897 is called simply Sunlight. It says: “I wandered in the shades of night, / Till Jesus came to me, / And with the sunlight of His love / Bid all my darkness flee. / Though clouds may gather in the sky, / And billows round me roll, / However dark the world may be / I’ve sunlight in my soul.” The refrain adds “Sunlight, sunlight in my soul today, / Sunlight, sunlight all along the way; / Since the Saviour found me, took away my sin, / I have had the sunlight of His love within.”

Who then shall we honour?

One of my favourite Sunday afternoon routines is listening to the CBC’s Cross Country Checkup. Callers from across the nation are invited to phone or email and offer their thoughts on a weekly topic, usually selected from among current matters of interest to the nation.

Occasionally, and also welcomed, are calls that come from our neighbours to the south.

This week’s topics were twofold: comments on a weekend political convention and the second, suggestions for women who

qualify to be featured on our currency. Although I found both subjects most interesting, it was the second that prompted this article. As people called in or wrote, a sense of gratitude welled up for so many women who gave so much.

Although I made no attempt to write down

names and categories, some I most remember include women who contributed to furthering art, language and medicine. In our own town, Elder Elsie Paul, was recently honoured for her work in reviving the language and culture of the local Tla’amin people.

Moving beyond gender recognition, however, I thought of the men who also have contributed to our well being, both as individuals and as a nation and world. Men and women who dared to stand for right, no matter what the cost. Men and women who

risked their lives to protect our country and our dignity.

And, not to be forgotten, those men and women who have followed the call of God to serve in pastoral ministry. Across the continent and indeed, the world, so many have given freely of their time, resources and strength to bless others.

Though they may never be recognized publicly, their names are proclaimed in the annals of heaven.

The writer of the book of Hebrews records their sacrifices then proclaims: “of whom the world was not worthy.”
