of a rifle knowing he is not holder of a licence, unlawful storage of a shotgun, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace, possession of a throwing star without a license and possession of a prohibited weapon.

He is also charged with

possession of proceeds from crime.

Ebach was arrested following what RCMP described as a “high-risk” search in Battleford at 4 a.m. Friday. Ebach is remanded in custody and was due to appear in court again Tuesday.

RCMP update on collision investigation In evidence recovery and collection stage

Staff The RCMP provided a comprehensive update Thursday morning in Regina on the status of their investigation into the Humboldt Broncos bus collision April 6.

The news conference held in Regina took place the same day the collision scene at Highways 35 and 335 north of Tisdale was closed for the day.

RCMP assistant commissioner Curtis Zablocki confirmed at the news conference that seven RCMP reconstructionists and five collision analysts were on the scene that day for additional scene analysis.

That included positioning vehicles similar to those involved in the collision, taking measurements and analyzing sightlines.

“The integrity of this investigation is critical,”

said Zablocki, who asked reporters to be considerate in any reporting related to their continued work at the scene.

Zablocki said the collision investigation and reconstruction involves determining the factor or factors that would cause or contribute to a collision.

Investigators would examine such environmental aspects as weather, visibility, road conditions and light, mechanical conditions of the vehicles, as well as the human element such as the physical condition of the drivers, driver error, driver distraction and speed.

Due to its investigation and scope, Zablocki said, the RCMP major crimes unit was leading the investigation, with assistance from specialized units including their forensic collision reconstruction teams, forensic identification ser-

vices and their major case management unit.

These teams, “have the expertise necessary to lead an investigation of this magnitude and manage the large amount of information and evidence collect-

ed,” said Zablocki.

More 50 interviews have been conducted so far with independent witnesses including thos with the driver of the tractor-trailer, owner of the trucking company and some of the vic-

tims. More are scheduled for the coming days and weeks.

The RCMP’s forensic reconstruction team has taken over 5,500 photos and 3D technology and unmanned aerial vehicles are being used to gather evidence and “analyze every aspect of the scene.”

Initial investigations regarding the mechanical condition of both the tractor-trailer and the bus have been completed, and RCMP are awaiting reports on the results.

All available documentation has been recovered from the scene, including driver logbooks. Zablocki said a complete review of these documents will be conducted looking at hours of work, rest time, brake checks and compliance with safety standards.

Zablocki said the engine control modules had been recovered from the vehicles and taken by RCMP officers to California that week for further analysis.

These have the ability to record pre-collision data including speeds, RPM, and application of brakes, he said.

Until the analysis is complete, they will not know what data was recorded by each vehicle prior to the collision. The data is being used to supplement the scene investigation examination.

Zablocki outlined what was known about the collision itself. He said investigators know the tractor-trailer was travelling westbound at approximately 5 p.m. on Highway 335, and the bus was travelling northbound on Highway 35. The preliminary investigation determined the tractor-trailer was in the intersection at the time of the collision.

“I can assure you that all of our efforts are dedicated to determining why the tractor-trailer was in the intersection,” Zablocki said.

“We know the road conditions were clear and the sun was shining at the time of the collision,” Zablocki said. He adds the driver of the tractor-trailer remains in regular contact with RCMP officers.

The investigation is still in the evidence recovery and collection stage and no charges have been laid.

“There is still a lot of work to be done interpreting and analyzing all of the information gathered,” said Zablocki. They will continue to work with partner agencies including Transport Canada, the provincial coroner’s officer and with SGI investigators as the investigation continues.

Zablocki added complex collision reconstruction investigations take time and are measured in weeks and months rather than days. “But be assured we are committed to providing updates as this investigation progresses.”

Construction permits on the rise in March

Money Talks

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

This was the scene at Notre Dame School Wednesday as the Battlefords Chamber of Commerce hosted “Talk with our Kids about Money.” A similar event was hosted at Holy Family School that day. This is the sixth year for the program nationwide but only the fourth year in Saskatchewan. It is developed by the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, in partnership with Scotiabank, whose representatives were on hand to provide tips about money to students in Light of Christ Schools. Students also enjoyed slices of pizza for lunch. At the event at Notre Dame School, Karen Costello of Scotiabank led the presentation that focused on online banking, and online safety. After she spoke and took questions, a draw took place for an iPad presented to one lucky student. Photo by John Cairns

Chamber bylaw changes on hold

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Plans by the Battlefords Chamber of Commerce to decide on significant changes to its board structure will have to wait.

A planned Special General Membership Meeting for Tuesday night failed to make quorum, likely because of poor weather conditions that plagued the area that day.

The meeting had been called so Chamber members could vote on bylaw changes. Proposed revisions discussed at prior

Calls for service increase slightly in B’ford

By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

RCMP Inspector John Sutherland was at Battleford town council April 16 to speak on reported crime in town.

The report looked at calls for service from January to March of this year.

Total calls for service increased slightly during the same reporting period last year, from 218 to 230.

Notable increases include calls regarding motor vehicle collisions (six to 12), provincial traffic offences (16 to 24) and false alarms.

Mayor Ames Leslie said false alarms from home security systems continue to be a problem.

Decreases in calls for service compared with last year include person offences (29 to 19), property offences (51 to 41) and criminal code offences (23 to 12).

meetings have included changing the title of “president” to “chair,” bringing in term limits to directors and others.

Instead, the special meeting has been put off “indefinitely,” according to Chamber president Terry Caldwell.

The monthly directors’ meeting went on as

scheduled, however. One of the presentations was from SaskTel assistant vice-president Brian Eltom about the SaskTel infiNET fibre optic network construction which will be happening soon in the Battlefords.

Construction of infiNET fibre is set to occur in phases in 2018 and 2019,

expanding broadband capacity significantly to SaskTel customers. Information will be distributed to SaskTel customers in advance of the construction so people know it will be happening.

“We’ve been hearing about this for years and it’s actually coming to reality,” noted Caldwell.

After a couple of down months to start to the year, building permits have picked up in the month of March in North Battleford.

According to a report provided at a Planning Committee Monday meeting at City Hall, eight permits for $807,000 were issued in March, compared to six for $745,000 the same month a year before.

The bulk of activity

came from two commercial alterations permits for $594,000. Also included were two demolition permits for $52,000, a residential alteration permit for $50,000, one sign permit for $36,000, one basement suite dwelling permit for $50,000 and one new garage for $25,000.

Overall, 16 permits were issued in March for a total permit value of $1,060,000, compared to 21 for $2,307,500 for the same period a year earlier.

Back in the saddle after a year out to pasture

By Becky Doig Editor

Last week the News-Optimist newsroom once again bade farewell to Jayne Foster. Foster capably filled the role of interim editor when health issues forced me to take an entire year of leave.

Thanks to an extremely skilled surgeon, long bouts of rehabilitation and healing and help from a massage therapist, I was deemed fit to return to keyboard and mouse Thursday.

It was an odd experience being away from the newsroom I have served in one capacity or another for more than 20 years, but Foster is a seasoned veteran. She not only made it through the nuts and bolts of the job, she inspired and mentored the news team during an exceptionally newsy year in the Battlefords.

I return to an operation that has seen some major changes, not the least of which was the retirement of long-time publisher Alana Schweitzer and the hiring of a new publisher, Gordon Brewerton. With Brewerton come new ideas, new expectations and new challenges.

Change is a constant in any operation, but it is a prevailing condition in the print newspaper industry. In the information age, we need to be constantly making changes to retain readership and our share of the advertising market.

In this era we not only direct our resources to producing a twice-weekly community newspaper, we also must operate as a daily news source. Our online presence at www.newsoptimist.ca and on Facebook and Twitter requires us to be constantly multitasking in an effort to keep our readers informed.

As the historic purveyor of community news, the News-Optimist will continue to work diligently to provide high quality coverage of events and issues of interest to our readers.

And as I work to get back into the groove, I will continue to do my best to work with my team to ensure a high quality product for our readers’ consumption.

As I mentioned, I’ve been in the News-Optimist newsroom for more than two decades, but I’m always learning on the job. I’ll do my best to not commit any major gaffs, but if I do I know I can count on you, the readers, to point me in the right direction.

We always appreciate your comments, insight and story ideas. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Doggie doodoo can be deadly

By Becky Doig Editor

Sunday, as I was driving to a friend’s house for what we call “card therapy,” I saw a woman out walking her small dog. The dog was hunkered down by a telephone pole and then scampered away after leaving its “deposit.”

The woman made no move to stoop and scoop.

We are all so relieved spring is finally here, but that incident reminded me of one of the less attractive aspect of melted snow. The piles of dog excrement revealed along our walkways and streets are disgusting.

Here are some alarming facts from DoodyCalls Pet Waste Management. “Dog feces are one of the most common carriers of the following diseases: whipworms, hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, parvo, corona, giardiasis, salmonellosis, cryptosporidiosis and campylobacteriosis.” I’m not certain what some of the “sis” are, but ick.

Please clean up after your pet. It is the respectful thing to do.

And of course now the snowdrifts are gone, they have been replaced with drifts of cigarette butts. In an age when smokers are forced outdoors for their fix, curbside gutters filled with butts are the norm.

Why don’t smokers consider their butts litter? Perhaps smokers all belong to the “toss the fast food trash out the window” society.

According to BMJ Journals, cigarette butts comprise 25-50 per cent of all litter collected from roads and streets in urban areas. “Cigarette butts contain all the carcinogenic chemicals, pesticides and nicotine that make tobacco use the leading cause of preventable death worldwide, yet they are commonly, unconsciously and inexcusably dumped by the trillions (5.6 trillion and

counting) into the global environment each year.”

So beyond ugly, butts are truly toxic. Please butt out in an appropriate receptacle.

Summer is arriving early at the cinemas

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

We are fast approaching what is regarded as “summer blockbuster season.”

That’s the time of year when the big “popcorn” movies and populist entertainment shows up at the cinemas: superheroes, special effects and comedies.

I did some preliminary research on what releases can expect to do well at the summer box office and looked up the release date for what I thought would be one of the top contenders — Avengers: Infinity War. It opens in wide release on Friday, April 27.

Aaargh!!! This screws up my summer box office predictions for Summer Blockbuster Season.

Typically, folks in the business have regarded the first weekend of May as the official kickoff to the summer season, even though it’s really the middle of spring. The season started in early May, and lasted until Labour Day when the kids start to go back to school and movie attendance goes straight into the tank.

In recent years, that first weekend in May has belonged to the Marvel franchises like Iron Man, and the Avengers. It is a lucrative weekend as well, with these Marvel movies routinely opening to massive domestic grosses of more than $100 million.

In fact, the plan had been for Disney and Marvel to roll out Avengers: Infinity War on May 4, following the same playbook as previous years. But in March, the decision was made to move up the domestic release by a week, to April 27.

My first thought was the Disney folks were figuring they can get an early jump on “summer blockbuster season,” but now I understand the real reason is to time the domestic release to be at roughly the same time as it is in the rest of the world.

The problem is I have no idea whether to include Avengers: Infinity War in my “summer” predictions or not. This isn’t a “summer” release now. Instead, it’s a “late spring” release.

Does this mean we boxoffice pundits should now consider the final week of April to be part of summer blockbuster season?

Doing some further research on this topic, I came across articles claiming March, yes March, is the new “start” of summer blockbuster season.

These started showing up in 2017 when Logan was released. Logan eventually made a domestic $226 million gross, but the big winner in March releases turned out to be Beauty and the Beast,

which topped $504 million. These are numbers usually associated with summer releases.

To be honest, I’m surprised that I am not seeing more articles claiming February is now the new start of summer blockbuster season. This February, Black Panther opened in theatres and turned into one of the most successful movies of all time. Its domestic haul is $675 million so far and it is still going.

I’ve even seen articles claiming “summer blockbuster season” began when Rampage came to theatres on April 13. That flick, which opened to a domestic haul of $35 million, stars action star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who is notorious for being associated with summer popcorn flicks (he’ll later be in Skyscraper, which opens July 13).

But I really have issues with declaring April to be part of “summer blockbuster season” when parts of North America still have snow on the ground.

Heck, it is already a stretch to include May as part of “summer,” because it isn’t.

What it comes down to is that “summer blockbuster season” is really no longer a “summer” phenomenon. The potential for blockbusters is year-round, and the move to schedule the latest Avengers movie in late April is proof of that.

From my vantage point, it seems obvious why Hollywood wants to schedule big-budget popcorn movies outside the usual summer months — to get away from the other blockbuster competition.

It seems like the Maythrough-August period is always a bloodbath,

crowded with one wannabe “blockbuster” after another trying to strike it rich.

So many of these movies look like they are going after the same audience with the “Marvel,” “DC,” “Jurassic,” “Planet of the Apes” and “Transformers” franchises.

The rest of the year is not like this. September and October are notorious down months at the box office. The studios know this, and make sure to steer clear of scheduling their blockbusters for this period of time.

This opens up the potential for more adultoriented fare to do well against this lack of competition. That’s what happened when It opened last Sept. 8 and grossed a staggering $327 million.

Things usually pick up again in November and December, with people taking advantage of Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays in the United States. But then comes January, everyone is back to school or back at work again, and the pat-

tern repeats itself. Once again, you don’t see potential blockbusters scheduled for January.

What you often see happen is popular late-December releases using the month of January as their big month to absolutely clean up against a lack of real blockbuster competition. That’s how Titanic, Avatar and Star Wars: The Force Awakens set their all-time box office records.

What Hollywood is surely noticing now is the potential for February, March and April to produce blockbuster movies.

Some potential blockbusters have been scheduled for these months in recent years and have surprised observers by doing quite well.

Here are recent examples: February has produced 2014’s The LEGO Movie ($257.8 million), 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey ($166.2 million) and 2016’s Deadpool ($363.1 million).

March has produced hits like this year’s Ready Player One ($117 million), 2016’s Zootopia ($341 million) and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice ($330 million).

April has also seen big blockbusters with hits such as 2014’s Captain America 2 ($259.8 million), 2015’s Furious 7 ($353 million), 2016’s Jungle Book ($364 million) and 2017’s Fate of the Furious ($226 million).

Already, the predictions are for Avengers: Infinity War to make a killing when it opens. We are looking at somewhere around $200 million for its opening weekend domestic gross, according to the tracking we are seeing.

No doubt, Avengers: Infinity War is shaping up to smash every April record there is at the box office.

This reminds me of yet another good reason to schedule hits outside of the usual summer season: to

set box office records for whichever date your movie happens to open on. “It’s a record opening for the month of April!”

My guess is once the other studios see how big a killing Disney makes on this latest Avengers movie, they’ll schedule even more blockbuster-popcorn movies for these early months instead of focusing their energies solely on the summertime.

Expect February, March and especially April to look far more like “summer” at the cinemas in future years, with more populist “popcorn” movies to choose from.

I find it ironic that I am writing on the topic of “summer blockbuster season” when we have just endured a winter that took forever to end. Spring may have arrived late, but it’s shaping up to be an early summer at the movies this year.

Lauro Chartrand – No script

Everybody has a STORY

By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

After spending time in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Vancouver, Lauro Chartrand spoke of his experiences as a Hollywood stuntman to North Battleford Comprehensive High School students.

Chartrand was at NBCHS April 10 as part of the BEATS Encounter program in order to help students make a movie. The program, created by Alan Corbeil, grew from giving students a creative outlet to make music.

BEATS (Building Expression and Awareness Through Theatre and Sound) consists of creative projects meant to promote mental health, decrease risk and encourage better school engagement.

The movie project for which Chartrand was at NBCHS will be a zombie movie. Students will shoot and star in the movie, as well as perform a number of tasks that come with the filmmaking process.

Chartrand spent part of his childhood growing up between Turtle Lake and Brightsand Lake, east of St. Walburg.

There was no running water, no well and no bathroom inside the house on the ranch where he, his mother and stepfather lived. His stepfather drank excessively.

Chartrand thought early on that he’d like to pursue hockey, but he couldn’t afford the equipment, practice was too far away and he said his stepfather didn’t care.

newsoptimist.news@sasktel.net

Everybody has a STORY

It’s easy to get mad at people and blame them for things and let it affect your situation. I just want you to know that you are the masters of your own destiny.

Chartrand said when he was eight, he saw a movie starring Chuck Norris that was projected onto a wall in the St. Walburg town hall.

“I said ‘I want to be like him when I grow up.’”

“Like Chuck Norris?” his mom replied.

“No, no, the guy he’s throwing through the window.”

Chartrand said he got into drinking and bush parties.

Others were into stealing, committing petty crime and dealing drugs.

“I knew there was something better for me, somewhere, somehow,” Chartrand said.

A number of jobs followed: cowboy, ranch hand, construction worker and working on oilrigs and power line crews.

The dream remained.

When Chartrand was 16, his sister was living in San Diego and was moving north to San Jose. Chartrand asked his sister to stop in Los Angeles. Chartrand had coyote, fox and lynx pelts he thought he could sell.

“We were driving down the 5 highway, and I said, ‘drop me off here.’ I didn’t have a clue where I was.”

He got out and started walking. He later got a job as a baby werewolf mascot at Universal Studios.

Eventually, Chartrand couldn‘t pay rent and moved back to Canada.

Chartrand trained in martial arts. His sensei said he wasn’t allowed to get into any fights outside of training.

Once he did, but he said he had a good excuse.

“I was at a rodeo dance and it was the last dance of the night. As soon as the music stopped, everybody just turned and started fighting. It was a big brawl. And I had no intentions of fighting anybody, but somebody wanted to fight me, and so I got hit first, and did my deal and got out of there.”

Chartrand said martial arts also taught discipline and focus which can be applied to various life situations.

Chartrand eventually became a movie extra and did stunt work in Vancouver. Keeping paying jobs while performing as an extra was difficult, Chartrand said. The first day he was an extra he lost money because he got a parking ticket.

His first job as a stuntman was on MacGyver.

On his second job, Chartrand said he was nearly killed.

While working on a production starring Chuck Norris, a bullet casing blew out of the barrel of a gun used on-set and went through Chartrand’s stomach.

“I had no idea what had happened, I felt like I got hit with a sledge hammer,” Chartrand said.

Movie stuntman Lauro Chartrand has had a few close encounters with death during his career.

An ambulance was called and he was operated on.

“I came pretty close to dying on that one,” Chartrand said. “And when I got done, I started calling people for work again.

“There was nothing else in my mind that I could do, or that I wanted to do.”

Another dream came true when Chartrand worked on the Jackie Chan movie Rumble in the Bronx.

Chartrand tried to get cast but was told he looked too young. For another project, Chartrand was asked to grow a goatee, which made him look older. Chartrand’s friend was working on the Jackie Chan movie, and he asked his friend to show the filmmakers a photo of Chartrand. The producers didn’t know Chartrand was the same young actor who initially sought a role.

Chartrand explained how dialogue was written. A Chinese dialogue coach would give a situation and asked actors for lines.

“I came around the corner and saw [Chan] beating on my buddy, and I said ‘Yo, que pasa, what you doin man?’

“And [the coach] goes ‘Yeah, yeah, you say that.’”

In the movie, Chartrand can be seen trying to charge Chan and gets kicked into a grocery rack.

Other projects included the Ninja Turtles, movies with Steven Seagal and Walker Texas Ranger.

Once on the set of Walker Texas Ranger (starring Chuck Norris), Chartrand, with his shirt off, was asked about a scar he had received from the stray bullet casing.

The person he told the story to was perplexed.

“That was you?” they asked Chartrand. “Uncle Aaron told us you were dead.”

Aaron Norris, Chuck’s brother and the series’ executive producer, had said the stuntman who got shot had died.

Students asked Chartrand questions, including his most dangerous stunt.

On the 2002 movie Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Chartrand was doubling Antonio Banderas. The scene involved a motorcycle being chased by two cars. Lucy Liu shoots a rocket launcher that blows up cars.

“Now there’s nothing but smoke and flames everywhere and I can’t see where I’m going. And I drive through the smoke, and there’s a Jeep Cherokee, parked sideways burning and blown up, and I drive right into it and it sends me flying over top, and the two cars behind me crash into other cars and they go flying everywhere.”

The director didn’t want to use CGI, Chartrand said.

To shoot the stunt, crews used a fake motorcycle. An air ramp was supposed to launch Chartrand over the Jeep, and two cars would fly right behind him.

During one attempt, Chartrand wasn’t launched over

the Jeep, but flew right into the Jeep.

AAA Stars hold spring camp

By Lucas Punkari Sports Reporter

Having recruited players since January, Battlefords AAA Stars head coach Norm Johnston had a good idea of what to expect when the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League team held their spring camp.

Following three days of action at the Civic Centre over the weekend, he has a better idea of what the squad will look like when the 2018-19 campaign gets underway.

“It was a good camp,” Johnston said. “We had a lot of players in the 2001, 2002 and 2003 age groups and they all competed hard.

“We know what our backend is going to look like, but the forwards spots aren’t filled yet, and I expect to see some good battles at our main camp in August as their wasn’t much separating the group.”

The Stars stand to lose their top four scorers from last year’s squad, which missed out on the playoffs.

Adam Beckman, who led the SMAAHL in points, is expected to crack the roster of the Western Hockey League’s Spokane Chiefs, while Ty Mosimann, Damon

Ron Jay Peaacew reached for the puck while being chased by Rocsyn Bird during the Battlefords AAA Stars spring camp Saturday afternoon at the Civic Centre. Photo by Lucas Punkari

McKenzie and Matt Flodell will all age out of the midget ranks.

“This is no disrespect to the guys that are here, but when you lose two highend guys like Beckman and Mosimann, who could score almost any time they stepped on the ice, it’s quite a difference,” Johnston said.

“As a result, it’s a pretty even group of forwards that we had out here. They

are all at a similar level and it makes for a pretty good battle when they are out on the ice.”

Returning forwards Tye Scherger, Brendan Albert, Luke Fennig, Shayde Peterson and Cale TuerTreble all took to the ice during the weekend.

On the blueline, Tyson Tuck and Brayden Serhyenko will both return for the second year with the Stars and will be joined

by four newcomers.

“We’ve signed Logan Holm out of Saskatoon, Ethan Grabowski from Warman, Eric Robbie from Rosetown and Cole Youngman out of Saskatoon,” Johnston said.

“We’re pretty happy to get those guys signed and I’m quite pleased with the group we have.”

Grabowski and Rob-

bie both suited for the North Stars last season, as Grabowski played in nine games and Robbie found

the back of the net during an eight-game stint.

Holm, meanwhile, was an eighth round pick of the Edmonton Oil Kings in the 2017 WHL bantam draft.

The goaltending is also set in stone for the upcoming campaign, with Joseph Young slated to return for his third year with the Stars and Carter Serhyenko coming back for his sophomore season.

“At the present time that’s what we have but you never know when September rolls around,” Johnston said.

“Both guys are listed by SJHL [Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League] and WHL teams, so we have to wait and see on both of them.”

Besides the returning tandem, eight other goaltenders attended the camp, which featured six teams competing in scrimmages.

The Stars will be holding their main training camp Aug. 18 and 19 at the Civic Centre.

moment of silence was observed for seven members who have passed away in the past year. All executive was returned by acclamation: Margaret Kemp as president, Ruth Bilanski as secretary and Lucille Shutra as treasurer. We will be without a vice-president this year as there was no one willing to take on this position. After some discussion it was decided to carry on with hall rentals with rent of $75 to members and $100 for nonmembers. The yearly meeting was adjourned and the monthly meeting was held.

A birthday potluck lunch was held April 11 at noon. Action Now funds supplied the hams that where prepared by members. President Margaret welcomed everyone with aging humour. Ruth said grace and we sat down to happy birthday sang by all to March birthday members Paul Bilanski, Margaret Fedun, Faye Taylor and Darlene Keall and to April members, Stella Ewanchuck, Pat Chapman and Faye Goll. Missing were Ruth St. Marie, Flora Sample and Theo Omelchenko. Thanks to everyone for all their salads and other goodies, also the ladies who make that delicious lemon dessert.

Afterwards we listened to some humour from Marcel Lacoursiere and Ruth Bilanski, then we had an afternoon of fun and Kaiser.

Our next potluck lunch will be in June. See you there. Have a lovely spring.

The Battlefords Boys and Girls Club has furnished its basement and developed programming for youth ages 11-14 years, creating the Husky Energy Youth Program.

Husky donated funds for the programming.

The Husky Energy Youth Program provides a secure space for youth where they can build meaningful peer-to-peer relationships, learn life skills such as budgeting and planning, get help with school work and have fun. The program

runs Monday to Friday from 3:30 - 8:30 p.m.

“Providing youth with a mentor who reinforces the importance of education and helps with homework is part of the foundation for a successful future,” says Paul Zorgdrager, vice president of Heavy Oil Production. “The Boys and Girls Club’s programming for pre-teens and early teenagers helps these kids stay focused and excited about the many opportunities they have ahead of them. That’s a win.”

Executive Director Ni-

cole Combres adds, “This program has been a long time coming and the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club is grateful for the funding support. The Program ticks off many critical development needs, which are particularly important to learn while young and impressionable – like having positive role models, good nutrition and an adult that is focused on the student’s educational success.”

We couldn’t have done this without Husky, and, for that, we say thanks. Great futures start here.”

Alan Richard Thornton June 21, 1943 January 21, 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alan R. Thornton who died peacefully surrounded by family at Evergreen Memory Care Home in Campbell River BC. Al was predeceased by his parents Ernest Charles Thornton and Mabel Rosalyn Thornton and his wife of 46 years, Audrey Louise Thornton. He is survived by two sisters, Gladys (Larry) Philippot and Lynne (Larry) Iwamoto, his four daughters and their families, Shelly and Mark Harpring (AJ and Thomas), Tracy and Dan Brennan (Daniel, Chelsea, Corbin), Jolie and Phil Nasralla (Cassia and Spencer), Kylie and Simon Guillot (Haley, Jaxon, Elliott), an uncle, numerous cousins, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and their families. Al was born and raised in Oliver BC. He enjoyed the simple life of the Okanagan, was athletic, active in Air Cadets and proud to obtain his pilot’s license at age 16. Al had a musical ear, played piano, violin, harmonica and enjoyed performing in his high school orchestra. Al appreciated and loved all music. A talented artist with exceptional drawing skills, Al was known for his cartoon caricatures which are illustrated in his high school yearbooks. He later used this talent as a police sketch artist. Al had a great sense of humour and brought joy and smiles with his famous Donald Duck vocal impersonation. He brightened up people’s lives with his laughter. In 1964, Al became a member of the RCMP, his lifelong dream. While in training he met the love of his life, Audrey. They married in March 1966 and enjoyed raising their family in various postings around Saskatchewan. Wherever he was posted Al was an active member of the community, he attended church, was a member of the Masonic Lodge , volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club and swim club and Swim Sask. An avid swimmer himself, Al was often at the local pool getting in his laps , even in his senior years, Al enjoyed swimming at the Parkinson’s Rec Centre in Kelowna. Al was a family man. He, Audrey and the girls enjoyed celebrating holidays with relatives and friends, whether hosting or traveling to visit them.

Many wonderful memories were made camping at Turtle Lake, Jeannotte Lake, and taking road trips to BC. Al spent quality time with his daughters, he instilled the importance of living an active lifestyle, working hard, having fun, and the value of kindness, honesty and integrity. He also encouraged each of them to play a musical instrument and to appreciate music and art. After 31 years in the RCMP, Al retired as a Sergeant. He and Audrey moved to Kelowna and continued to work part time, managing apartment complexes, senior homes, and working security gates for an oil company in Alberta. Al loved landscaping, painting and handyman work at the apartment complexes. When visiting his daughters he was keen to help out with their “to-do” lists. Al was a terrific father-in-law and he shared a close bond with his “sons”. Most of all he enjoyed being “Papa Al” to his beloved grandchildren. He was a fun grandfather and he made great memories with all his grandkids. His family was his pride and joy.Al and Audrey made many lifelong friendships and kept in touch with them. Whether meeting up with friends in Mexico every winter, or seeing friends in Kelowna, they truly valued these relationships. After losing Audrey in 2012, Al reconnected with a dear friend from his youth, Pat Taylor. They shared a close and wonderful friendship in Kelowna. Sadly, Al was afflicted with dementia and had a rapid decline in his last year of life.

The family made the difficult but necessary decision to have Al moved to Vancouver Island in order to give him much needed support and enjoy the precious time that remained. In spite of this disease, Al remained positive, kept his sense of humour, his Donald Duck impressions were enjoyed by many, his love for his family and his enjoyment of music remained strong. Al’s loving, compassionate and kind heart still shone brightly. People who briefly knew him and numerous caregivers often commented what a sweet and kind man he was . Al was loved and cared for exceptionally by the staff at Evergreen and we are very grateful to them. Al will be dearly missed. A Celebration of Al’s Life will be held in Kelowna on Saturday August 18,2018 from 6-9 pm at the Parkinson’s Recreation Centre. Light finger food and refreshments will be provided. We invite you to share any photos and your memories of Al. In lieu of flowers, donations in Al’s memory are appreciated to his cherished causes: Alzheimer Society of Canada, Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, The Royal Canadian Legion.

SaskPower warning residents, businesses about scammers Submitted

SaskPower has been seeing a significant increase in fraudulent activity in the province.

Scammers pretending to represent SaskPower have been known to call, email and even physically visit businesses. The scammers claim that unless the resident or business submits payment on the spot, their power will be disconnected immediately. Scammers have also been known to ask for payment through untraceable cryptocurren-

cies such as Bitcoin.

SaskPower says it does not deal with overdue accounts in this manner, but works with customers on repayment arrangements to avoid disconnection wherever possible. The Crown also does not deal in payment using cryptocurrency.

If the authenticity of a call, email or person claiming to be from SaskPower is in doubt, contact SaskPower’s customer service line at 1-888-757-6937. A representative there will be able to quickly confirm the

Phones for a Fresh Start

status of an account.

SaskPower is working with authorities to fully investigate the matter. Those who suspect they are being targeted by scammers, are asked report it to their local police department and SaskPower. The incident can also be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Customers are also reminded to protect themselves from email scams asking them to download or send personal information.

Cellphone recycling drive underway In celebration of Earth Month, SaskTel has announced the launch of its second Phones for a Fresh Start cellphone drive.

SaskTel’s first drive diverted more than 5,000 cellphones and their accessories from the landfill.

“Phones for a Fresh Start is an amazing program that has diverted more than 106,000 cellphones from our landfills,” said the Don Morgan, minister responsible for SaskTel. “With more than 600,000 unwanted cellphones estimated to be stored in Saskatchewan homes alone, I’m hoping that this Earth Month everyone in Saskatchewan will make the effort to help keep our province green by taking this opportunity to

get their unwanted phones recycled.”

Running through to April 30, SaskTel is encouraging anyone looking at getting rid of an unwanted cellphone to drop it off at any SaskTel store or authorized dealer. And, while the program accepts donations year-round, those donating during the drive will receive a complimentary Phones for a Fresh Start wristband while supplies last.

“E-waste is a growing problem, and most people are holding onto two or more cellphones in storage,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel acting president and CEO. “We know that finding a place to recycle specific items like cellphones can

be hard for people so by launching this drive we’re trying to make it that much easier. The last thing we want to see is those phones somehow ending up in landfills.”

Partnering with recycler EDI Inc., SaskTel uses the proceeds generated from cellphones recycled through Phones for a Fresh Start to purchase pre-paid phone cards and new cellphones that are then distributed to those fleeing domestic violence through the Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan.

To date, the program has provided PATHS with more than 2,800 cellphones and $71,000 in prepaid cards since its launch in 2009.

Finding God’s peace in the midst of a storm Hurricanes have done fearsome damage through the years. They’re rated on a scale from one to five, with five being the worst.

The rating takes into account sustained wind speed and storm surges, as well as the potential flooding and damage that could be caused.

Names of hurricanes such as Hazel (1954), Camille (1969), Andrew (1992), Katrina (2005) and Sandy (2012), live in the memories of many of us. These are the “mega storms” with devastating power that leaves injury and loss of life in their wake, along with great harm to property.

In comparison to these monsters, the storm faced by the Lord Jesus and His disciples one day on the Sea of Galilee may seem a small thing. However, the disciples, several of whom were seasoned fishermen, saw themselves in grave danger. A description of the incident is found in Mark 5:35-41.

A great multitude had gathered on the seashore, coming from the surrounding towns to listen to Christ’s teaching. Mark says the Lord got into a boat and pushed out a little from the land, speaking to them from there.

(Mk. 4:1-2) The session must have continued for some time. Then late in the day Jesus said to the

disciples, “Let us cross over to the other side” (vs.

35), a distance of several kilometres. With that, Jesus’ disciples joined Him in the small open boat.

Josephus says more than 300 of these little single-sailed fishing vessels, with oars, plied the waters in his day. The Sea of Galilee is situated in the Jordan Valley, which forms a kind of trough, with hills to the east and west. When winds come down the valley they are funneled out onto the sea with great force. Almost without warning the surface of the water can become a stormy cauldron, with waves reportedly as high as three metres.

Suddenly, on this occasion, “a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so it was already filling.” (vs. 37) Mega is the Greek word for “great.” It was a mega storm. Matthew, who was there, uses similar language. (Matt. 8:24) The boat was being swamped and they seemed in imminent danger of drowning.

And where was Jesus?

He was in the rear of the boat asleep, apparently exhausted from the day’s ministry. Slumbering with His head resting on a pillow, likely a borrowed seat cushion. Shouting over the din made by the crashing waves the disciples woke Him with a question: “Do

You not care that we are perishing?” (vs. 38) There is a sad irony in that, since saving the perishing is why He’d come to Earth (Lk. 19:10).

But the Lord “arose

and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great [mega] calm.” (vs.

39) This astonishing result led to Mark’s third use of

Ah, those buts In returning to my thoughts on the Book of Proverbs, warnings that I’d read about for decades suddenly jumped out at me.

Although I’d been reading the chapter corresponding to each day of the month, all those “buts” took on a new significance.

First and just for the fun of it, however, I looked up various combinations of the three letters and came up with an assortment of interesting acronyms and their definitions: BTU – air condition-

ing output; TBU – to be updated or, true but useless; UBT – urea breath test; UTB – universal tractors, built in Romania beginning 1946; TUB – a refreshing soak (my personal definition) and finally, BUT – a conjunction introducing a contrasting phrase or clause.

the Greek word mega. The disciples “feared exceedingly [mega], and said to one another, ‘Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!’” (vs. 41) It’s the answer to that question that becomes the anchor of our faith. He is the Lord Jesus Christ, Creator of all things (Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:16-17), and Saviour of all who trust in Him. (Jn. 3:16; Heb. 1:1-3) Clergyman and hymn writer Godfrey Thring (1823-1903) told the story simply in a hymn, concluding with a practical As simplistic as it may seem, those Proverbs “but” contrasts spoke volumes; I finally stopped counting them as I realized they permeated the entire book.

It’s hard to believe I’d never noticed how starkly the writer presented the negative effect of choosing the bad over the good by the use of a single word.

For example: “Anxiety in the heart of man [or woman] causes depression but a good word makes it glad.”

Let’s be quick to encourage someone, they may be in dire need of those words. Here’s another: “A soft answer

application to our own struggles with the storms of life.

“Fierce raged the tempest o’er the deep, / Watch did Thine anxious servants keep / But Thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep, / Calm and still.

‘Save, Lord, we perish,’ was their cry, / ‘O save us in our agony!’ Thy word above the storm rose high, / ‘Peace, be still.’ / So, when our life is clouded o’er, / And storm winds drift us from the shore, / Say, lest we sink to rise no more, / ‘Peace, be still.’”

turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Sadly, I’m acquainted with both.

We live in a world where black and white has mainly been merged into murky grey. Too often those who stand for what they believe are branded as intolerant or even worse. It’s always important that we respect other people and I never want to be guilty of rudely dismissing another’s opinion but the primary goal of my life is to please God and to walk uprightly with Him. Lord, help me always stay on the positive side of “but.”
