Community Safety Plan meeting this week By John Cairns Staff Reporter
A stakeholder meeting is set for this week to build on the existing community safety plan for the city of North Battleford. The meeting is set for Thursday and was mentioned at council Monday by City Community Safety Coordinator Herb Sutton. About 50 people are coming to meet at the Chapel Gallery and it is a “wide cross-section of people from across the city,” he said. Represented will be various agencies from around the community. There will also be people coming from Public Safety Canada and the provincial Ministry of Justice. The idea is to build on the existing plan with the help of the federal and provincial
governments. According to Sutton’s report it includes a three-step process: a community leadership commitment, community mobilization and a community safety plan. This was a process by Public Safety Canada in coordination with the Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime. According to Sutton, Public Safety Canada approached BPRC to try the process out in a community in the province, and North Battleford was recommended by the province “because they felt our community was well-poised to do this work.” That was one portion of Sutton’s monthly monitoring report to council. Sutton also reported he met with Concern for Youth on their youth survey report and their recommendations on the teen centre.

The report is almost done, said Sutton, but “understandably they don’t want to release it until it’s done in a way that they’re happy that it’s going to get out to the public.” He said he encouraged them to keep working at it. Some of the other highlights: Early work goes on with respect to developing a community cadet program in the community, which would be aimed at developing skills for young people; All eight units with the Transitional Housing project on 103rd Street are full with a waiting list, indicating the need for the facility, according to Sutton’s report; The new Lighthouse homeless shelter is officially open and Sutton reports it is busy for meals and for overnight stays, with as many as
Temporary location for Crystal’s home approved by council By John Cairns Staff Reporter
A couple of discretionary use applications made their way to North Battleford council meeting Monday. The first application was for a residential care facility at 1202 - 111th St. The applicant was seeking to rent out the property to Crystal’s Home. The or-
ganization had operated the group home for young women in North Battleford at 1352 - 97th St., but had to cease operations at that location due to a fire last year. Repairs are under way at that location and will take place over the next six months, with Crystal’s Home officials identifying the 111th Street property as a suitable temporary loca-
tion. However, there was some opposition expressed by area residents to the application, with three households signing their names to a letter opposing the facility over public safety concerns. Despite that, councilors did unanimously approve the application, with the approval coming for an interim 12-month period while the
Saulteaux shooting spree sends two to jail Staff Two individuals have been sentenced in connection to a terrifying shooting incident on Saulteaux First Nation in November.
Mind the meter Staff
SaskEnergy is reminding customers to work safely when clearing snow from around buildings, including rooftops, so as to not bury or damage natural gas meters or risers. Homeowners and businesses are also reminded to check their natural gas meter as melting snow from rooftops can also form ice on the meter, as moisture freezes overnight. SaskEnergy says it’s natural gas meters are designed to safely operate in Saskatchewan winters. However, ice build-up may affect the operation of the natural gas regulator. This is a safety design feature that prevents pressure from building up on gas supply lines inside a facility.
The two individuals, Isadore Johnson and Chandler Mooswa, both were sentenced to two years less a day plus 18 months probation, with both also receiving credit for remand time served in the incident. They had faced several charges including possession of a firearm for a dangerous purpose, careless use
of a firearm, possession of a firearm while prohibited and other charges. According to the facts in court, the incident took place over a span of 80 minutes when shots were fired at houses on the reserve during the early morning hours.

repair work proceeds at the other location. The other application was for an auto body shop at 2892 - 99th St., in the city’s north end. The applicant is bringing forward a national auto body shop brand for that development. It is to be located south of the Northside Shine UR Ride Ltd. development. The land had been optioned from the City by the developer, with the sale pending the approval of the discretionary use application. Once again, the application carried unanimously.

Commentary
Time worn search for the treasure chest By William Wardill
There are people fighting for and against the bloodthirsty creation variously called ISIS who think they are fighting in a religious war. There are observers, near and far, who think they are seeing a religious war. There have been religious wars in the world before. They always end. There is no doubt there are people in the present conflict

Insufficient funds? Dear Editor According to the a story in the Jan. 6 edition of the Saskatoon StarPhoenix there was $26,000,000 allotted to 600 reserves across Canada to support the operation and maintenance of firefighting equipment and training. This works out to an average of $43,333 per reserve. I was fire chief for the Mayfield Fire Department for approximately 12 years. Costs to maintain this fire department were $4,500 to $8,000 per year. The 20 to 25 volunteers fought fires, attended fire practices, went to fire schools and took St. John Ambulance courses at their own expense. The Fire Hall was built and the fire truck and pump maintained by volunteer labour. The fire department paid for the pump to be worked on once, otherwise everything was volunteer. Residents on the reserves should start asking where the fire grant is being used. Some chiefs and tribal councils do not like financial transparency because they like to misappropriate funds where they want. Most honest chiefs should disclose the amount of the grant and what it is used for. Most homes are completely consumed by fire within 10 minutes. This is why firefighting equipment and volunteers need to be on the reserves. Firefighting is a dangerous business, therefore, the volunteers must be continually well-trained and dedicated.

Let’s not see history repeat itself
I went downstairs to spend some time on my computer a few nights ago when I got quite a shock. The kids had been playing on the Nintendo, and to make room, they moved some stuff out of the way. One thing happened to be a two-foot by two-foot plastic table that was used for building Lego when they were small. Katrina, not knowing better, put it up against the glass panel of the gas fireplace. When I came downstairs, the fireplace was going, having kicked in due to the thermostat. The plastic table was hot to the touch. Another hour or two, it would have either melted, or caught fire. If I had gone to bed early, as I

Association 2012 Columnist of the Year had been considering, we would be homeless now. There were some harsh words on fire safety, and a legitimate, “I didn’t know,” from the chastised daughter. It came to me in a flood, all the stories I had heard from both of my parents. You see, each of them lost their house, and essentially everything, due to a fire
News-Optimist.ca Last week’s News-Optimist online poll: The issue of customers being left out in the cold has come up again. If you were an employee of the bus depot and at quitting time there were still passengers waiting for a bus what would you do? • Close up as usual. 9% • Stay until the bus came and try to collect overtime pay from my employer. 56% • Stay until the bus came without expecting any extra compensation. 35%

when they were young. The origin of both fires was the chimney. Mom’s blaze was when she was four or five. They lost everything. Dad was around 15. The family ended up living in the garage while rebuilding. Mom pointed out that kids today don’t have a lot of experience with fire. They don’t grow up splitting wood for wood stoves. In our sanitized existence, you push a button on the wall, and you get heat. As a result, there’s not much “common sense” when they have little exposure to it in the first place. Fire safety has come a long ways. Smoke alarms are commonplace and required. Most communities have proper fire protection service, but not everyone. First Nations unfortunately are still way behind on this front, despite the fact fires tend to be common occurrences on reserves. Last week we had yet another tragedy of people dying on a First Nation due to inadequate fire protection, this time at Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation. A two-year-old boy and oneyear-old girl died in a house fire Feb. 17. Calls to a neighbouring community’s tiny volunteer fire department went unanswered due to unpaid bills. The First Nation had a truck, but no equipment or people trained to
use it. This is strikingly similar to a tragic fire about 10 or 11 years ago on Sweetgrass First Nation. Their calls were rebuffed by the City of North Battleford Fire and Protective Services because that band, too, had not taken care of the paperwork beforehand and had not signed an agreement for the provision of assistance. Their own fire truck wouldn’t start, and there was no one to run it. In both cases, it’s doubtful a response by the neighbouring community would have made a difference given how long it would take to deploy in a meaningful way, and those lives would likely have been lost anyhow. But if the communities where these fires had taken place, the First Nations themselves, had maintained some sort of adequate fire protection services of their own, maybe that would have made a difference. The reality is that one lapse in judgment can be catastrophic, from kids playing with matches to careless placement of a toy near the fireplace. So this weekend we will again be doing fire drills in this house. I will be picking up a new, larger fire extinguisher to complement the three small ones we already have. I’ll also be getting a new carbon monoxide de-

Walking With Our Sisters
Memorial coming to the Battlefords By John Cairns
The installation, which is touring 25
Staff Reporter
There has been a timely announcement about a major travelling art memorial to honour the lives of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. Walking With Our Sisters is a commemorative art installation that will be at the Chapel Gallery between Jan. 15 and Feb. 7, 2016. The installation, which is touring 25 venues in Canada into 2018, will feature over 1,763 moccasin vamps that represent the unfinished lives of these women. According to Leisure Services Director Bill Samborski, the display is “to acknowledge the grief and torment the families of these women continue to suffer, and to raise awareness of the issue.” Also it will provide “broad and much-needed community dialogue on this issue.” The effort is organized with the support of the WWOS National Collective, local organizers and over 100 volunteers in and around North Battleford. The idea is for a community-based event. While funds are being raised through silent auctions, raffles, luncheons and other activities, the organizing committee is seeking funding from organizations and granting institutions and anticipates acquiring between $12,000 to $23,000 to cover various expenses. Samborski adds a number of events are also likely to happen leading up to the display, including a feast marking the beginning of the project as well as five
venues in Canada into 2018, will feature more than 1,763 moccasin vamps that represent the unfinished lives of these women.

community discussions. More information should become known in the next couple of weeks as to when the first community discussion will take place, Samborski indicated. The announcement allowed Mayor Ian Hamilton to note the recent passage of the North Battleford-sponsored motion at the SUMA convention calling for an inquiry or round table into missing and murdered Indigenous women. Councillor Ray Fox noted that a similar resolution had gone before the Regina city council that very evening and that Edmonton has been in discussions as well. The Regina motion was adopted. “There is a very good chance it will move on to the FCM stage,” said Fox, referring to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention later this year.

Guitar slinger promises high-energy show By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
The Canadian guitar slinger/singer about to appear in North Battleford is coming off quite a year. In 2014, JW-Jones cohosted the Maple Blues Awards in Toronto, toured the United States opening for Johnny Winter playing sold-out shows, opened for Jimmie Vaughan and wowed the Doheny Blues Festival in California. March 1, Jones will perform at the Dekker Centre
for the Performing Arts. He hasn’t been to the community before. “I’m a first-timer, but looking forward to being an honourary Battlefordian,” says Jones. He comes highly recommended. Hollywood actor Dan Aykroyd, known for his Blues Brothers persona Elwood Blues, says “this is an amazing blues band.” Jones will have with him his touring band, Jamie Holmes on drums and Laura Greenberg on bass. He says they are “some of the best

around and they will both be featured during our performance.” Jones says they are now touring in support of their 2015 JUNO and Maple Blues Award nominated CD, Belmont Boulevard, recorded in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge. “It’s our first release with Blind Pig Records, distributed by Stony Plain/Warner Music in Canada, and debuted at No. 9 on Billboard sales charts in USA,” says Jones. His last few CDs have hit No. 1 on B.B. King’s Bluesville on Sirius-XM Radio, and Jones continues to win over audiences – sometimes up to 40,000 strong – across the globe with incredible live performances. “Musically, we’re proud of the songs,” says Jones, “… but even more of a reason to catch us at the Dekker Centre is to see our highenergy live show, which is full of twists and turns. I guarantee we’ll do things you’ve never seen a band do before.” In addition to being a “red hot” musician, Jones is also entrepreneurial and community minded. This has led him to be named one of 40 under 40 to watch by the Ottawa Business Journal and Chamber of Commerce, a salute to the region’s entrepreneurs who balance business achievement, professional expertise and community involvement. Jones says his grandfather was a huge influence on him and taught him how to save money and work hard. “In the early years of

One Bad Son to play at Gold Eagle Casino
... League of Wolves to open By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Fans of rock and roll will be looking forward to seeing an up and coming Saskatoon group at Gold Eagle Casino this coming Friday night. One Bad Son is kicking off their latest tour in North Battleford and will be moving on to Edmonton and Grande Prairie and then to various other venues in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and British Columbia. After that, the rock band has their sights set on the United States for the first time with plans to do an American tour to Seattle and Portland. The band of singer-songwriters is originally from Saskatoon, and recently located back there after spending four years in Vancouver. “The plan was always to come back home,” said drummer Kurt Dahl, who is part of the band along with singer Shane Connery Volk, guitarist Adam Hicks and Adam Grant, aka “Granny,” as bassist. “This is where our families are, this is where all our closest friends are.” They had moved from Saskatoon in order to “take our career to the next level,” he said. The choice for them was either “Vancouver or Toronto, and Vancouver had the ocean,” said Dahl. Now that they have achieved that “next level” of success, the band members felt the time was right to be back home where they started. “Once you have that level of exposure, you can be based out of anywhere,” Dahl said, adding “we’re usually based out of our
van.” The hard work for the group began in 2004 in Saskatoon, where the four musicians spent years working to establish their band in the music industry. “Looking back, they were tough years, you know, to establish a fan base and establish yourselves as writers and bandmates and brothers,” said Dahl. “Most bands don’t get through that first three to five years.” The four ended up renting a “broken down old house” in downtown Saskatoon and endured lean times as they pursued their dreams. “Everybody’s got other things they could be doing with their lives, but you make sacrifices because you believe in rock and roll.” Living together for two and a half years allowed the band to hone their skills as writers and “live and breathe the music,” said Dahl. After a while, the group really started to define their sound. “Things started to really just happen naturally,” said Dahl. “It’s really hard to write great songs and get songs to that level, but things start to click. And that’s the greatest gift for any musician. You hope they always do that. But as you know, with any band that you like, it comes and goes, that sort of magic comes and goes. As a musician, it’s always that pursuit that is the real challenge and gift of being a creative person.” The group has had some recent success. Their 2012 album, simply entitled One Bad Son, featured some radio hits including Scarecrows, It Ain’t Right and Retribution Blues.
They followed that album up with an extensive tour before releasing their most recent album, Black Buffalo, last fall. That album includes the hit Satellite Hotel, which made the Active Rock charts as the No. 1 Most Added track for two weeks in a row last year. Earlier this week, the title track from that album, Black Buffalo, was released to radio for the first time and band members were fielding calls and text messages from people excited about the release. This is the sort of reaction that “keeps us going,” said Dahl. For Friday’s show, people in the Battlefords can expect a performance that is true to the tradition of the rock bands that dominated from the 1970s to the early ‘90s. Rock and roll, said Dahl, used to be “really special — bands played their own instruments, wrote their own songs, kind of followed their own path and made something special. For some reason, in 2015 that’s harder to find.” One Bad Son is trying to “carry the torch from our idols,” he said, referring to bands such as Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and other groups. “If you like all those bands, you might like us,” said Dahl. “We’re just a real rock and roll band.” In addition to One Bad Son, opening on Friday night at Gold Eagle Casino will be League of Wolves, a rising band planning to release their debut album this April.

Gardenscape is just around the corner This year the Saskatoon School of Horticulture and the Prairie Master Gardeners are approaching Gardenscape from a new perspective. Over the past 26 years this trade show has grown to focus less on education and more on the commercial aspects of the show. Our goal for Gardenscape 2015 is to contribute to refocusing the show on gardening and horticulture education. At SSH we are always trying to find ways to enhance our curriculum and make the education side of things even better. Our role at Gardenscape is to educate the public and to ensure our students gain experience by helping to share their love of horticulture, gardening and a healthy approach to life. After much deliberation and brainstorming, we have embarked on a massive production. The Enchanted Forest will be 800 square feet of horticulture and gardening

that will educate the public with a hefty side of enchantment. The Enchanted Forest experience will also be interactive. There will be a planted piano that is played at intervals throughout the show, and a meadow built into the garden where events like yoga, drumming and other participatory activities will occur. There will also be a children’s area with face painting and child-oriented fun. Visiting SSH during Gardenscape will be an experience to remember! Meadow events will need

The Gog to host Manitoba rock-pop-folk trio By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
They’ve been billed as a “kickin’, moshin’, footstompin’ rock band from Brandon, Manitoba” and it’s been said Until Red will “leave your face feeling like you’ve laughed for a lifetime, your heart feeling lifted and your circle of friends feeling three dudes bigger.” Made up of Dylan MacDonald (lead vocals and guitar), Roman Clarke (drums and backup vocals) and Liam Duncan (keys, rhythm guitar and backup vocals), Until Red will be playing at The Gog in North Battleford Friday, March 6. The Gog, a former synagogue that is now the North Battleford home of Kelly Waters, is famed locally for house concerts featuring outstanding talent. Clarke told the Regional Optimist this week, “We are looking forward to our first visit, and working with Kelly has been fantastic. If the people of North Battleford are just half as sweet and accommodating as her, then we are in for a huge treat!” Having played together since they were 14 years old, the three members of Until Red spend a lot of time touring Western Canada in a van, making fans and friends wherever they go.

They have already brought their distinctly Manitoban-roots rock to the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Brandon Folk Festival, Harvest Sun Festival, Dauphin Countryfest, Rockin’ the Fields of Minnedosa, and have otherwise played

about 90 shows since their January 2014 demo release titled Johanna. Their performance at The Gog is just one stop on a busy tour with 23 gigs booked in March alone. Clarke says, “We go at that pace for about 50 per cent of the year, and the other months ‘off’ are spent managing the business, taking on every other key role that comes with making a band sustainable and otherwise devoting almost every spare minute we have to achieve such a goal. Not to mention the fact that we all play in various other coverbased bands that pay the bills and allow for a little musical diversity.” While they play various venues, including festivals, pubs and more many of their gigs are house concerts. “We do our fair share of house concerts, and that comes from the fact that a large part of our show is centered around audience interaction and … personal connection,” says Clarke. “House concerts are an ideal medium for our style of show.”

Young entrepreneurs:
Lessons you don’t want to learn the hard way Submitted
Business Development Bank of Canada
Canadian business owners aged 18 to 35 will compete for a grand prize of $100,00 and a second prize of $25,000 in consulting services from Business Development Bank of Canada in the 2015 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award program. When you’re managing a young business, your decisions can make or break your company. To help other young business owners, we asked five entrepreneurs to talk about important errors they made; how they recovered; and the lessons they learned. “We kept going until we were in the six figures in receivables.” — Joel Pinel, 30, owner of WOW Factor Media (Moose Jaw) When I started my printing and marketing company six years ago, my mind was focused on getting sales and making a name for ourselves. So we would do whatever we could to get the job first and worry about payments after. We would send a bill and hope that eventually our clients’ accounts payable would notice it and pay us. We were very naïve. We were doing all the work, paying our employees and for all of our materials and then we wouldn’t see money for 60, 120 or some- “We kept going until we times 180 days. were in the six figures in We kept going like this receivables.” until we were well into the six figures in receivables. It was all completed work, invoiced and overdue. This was putting a lot of stress on the business. Eventually, we hired someone to track down money and get us paid. We’ve also put in place structured procedures for payments and introduced a standard payment form. We now take half our fee upfront automatically and give a two per

cent discount for clients who pay the whole amount up-front. And our salespeople don’t get their commission on the job until we are paid in full. Things are way better. We get paid on time. My worries about clients going elsewhere weren’t justified. They are more than willing to pay. Lesson learned: When you’re an entrepreneur, mistakes are going to happen. But if you correct them and don’t make the same mistake twice, you’ll be alright. “And then it hit me: I was all in my head.” — Toni Desrosiers, 35, owner of Abeego Designs (Victoria, B.C.) Ever since I started my business six years ago, I knew I had to put clear processes in place. But I got so busy putting out fires all day that I never did it. When your revenues grow by 40 per cent a year, the idea of documenting processes on top of that becomes overwhelming. Our product – reusable, anti-bacterial beeswaxcoated fabric food wrap – is “And then it hit me: It hand-crafted, so every time was all in my head.” we hire someone we have to train them on how to manufacture it. The learning curve is long and employee performance evaluation is difficult. When I found out my operations manager was going on maternity leave, it really hit me. It was all in my head. And now it was also in her head and she was leaving. I had to start again from scratch training someone else. This is when I began documenting processes and procedures in a manual. So now every time I do something that I would just intuitively do, after I finish the job, I write down what I’ve done. Every time I do the job again, I go back to my document, review what I wrote and adjust. I am encouraging my team to contribute. It’s a collaborative effort. We are translating our way of doing things into teachable processes. This will help us be more productive and make new employee training easier.
Lesson learned: I wish I had started documenting procedures in a manual from day one. Without clear processes, you’ll never be able to grow because you’ll always be busy working in your business. “It was as though I had sunglasses on.” — LouisPhilippe Noel, 35, owner of Innvue (Quebec City, Que.) I opened my information and technology services business for the hotel industry 10 years ago. By last summer, we hadn’t had tight control over our finances for about a year. Finding the right accountant proved to be a major challenge. I saw the sales coming in, I saw the cheques that I was signing, but I didn’t have a complete financial picture of my firm. When our financial statements were updated at the end of the fiscal year, I got a huge surprise, with expenses that had gone unnoticed. Yes, sales had gone up, but expenses had increased at a “It was as though I had sunglasses on.” much faster rate. We set up solid accounting practices and managed to hire the right person to handle our finances. We now do our financial statements once a month. Going somewhat over our budget on sales of $4 million isn’t the end of the world. While it wasn’t a bad year, it wasn’t as good a year as we could have had either. For me, though, it was a big mistake. Not having an overview of the business’s financial indicators on a regular basis was as though I had sunglasses on. I thought I was seeing things clearly, when in fact I wasn’t at all. Lesson learned: You can’t manage what you don’t measure. The importance of having accurate data on your company cannot be overlooked, and you need to surround yourself with qualified, trustworthy people. Continued on Page 13

Lessons you don’t want to learn the hard way Continued from Page 12 “I should have been patient instead of going full into it.” — Shep Ysselstein, 32, owner of Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese (Woodstock, Ont.) We suffered a major production setback at the outset, when we opened our cheese plant in 2011. I had a recipe to make my cheese that had been tried and tested many times over the years. It’s just that I had never made more than 10 kilograms of cheese at a time. When I opened the plant, I tried to make as much cheese as possible at once, to build inventory. I started making 150 kilograms a day, five days a week. A lot of it turned bad, about 3,000 kilograms. The Make sure you’ve done culprit was clostridium ty- your homework before robutyricum, a gassy bacte- you take a big leap. Just ria that produces acids and because it works on a hydrogen gas that can affect small scale, it doesn’t taste and make the cheese mean it’s going to work at on a large scale. crack and bubble.
There was a learning curve over the last three years during which I familiarized myself with social media channels including Facebook. I learned what types of posts people are interested in, what content engages potential customers or when to pay extra to boost Don’t underestimate the a post. During the last year I power of easy, straightfeel like I’ve gotten a better forward online marketing. grasp on doing that. I have 800 likes on my Facebook page, which I consider an awesome number for a dental practice in Nova Scotia. I owe a lot of those ‘likes’ to the buzz generated last year when I was a 2014 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award finalist. It was like a crash course in marketing myself and my business. Having an online presence has definitely got us some new patients. I post up to three times a week on Facebook. We want to have good quality posts that educate and engage our customers. Lesson learned : Don’t underestimate the power of easy, straightforward online marketing.
We sold some to friends and family, we donated some to food banks, but some had just to be thrown away. We lost some money. I should have done a few batches, wait and see how they turned out, then done some more instead of going full into it. We’ve changed some things at our farm to prevent this from happening again. We now add another bacteria to inhibit the other bacteria culprit. It’s been over three years now that we’ve been making cheese, and our sales have doubled every year. Lesson learned : Make sure you’ve done your homework before you take a big leap. Just because it works on a small scale, it doesn’t mean it’s going to work at on a large scale. “I underestimated the power of online marketing.” — Paula MacPherson, 32, owner of Southgate Dentistry (Bedford South, N.S.) I wish I would have gotten on board with social media sooner. I had just joined Facebook when I opened my practice three years ago. I knew social media was an important marketing tool for businesses such as retail stores or restaurants, but I didn’t realize how beneficial it could be in health care. As a Facebook rookie, I wasn’t taking full advantage of it. I relied on more traditional marketing methods such as mail-outs and didn’t realize the power of social media as a marketing tool. It allows you to reach a broader audience, often at a lower cost or even for free.

Venus centre in 3-planet lineup The moon begins March in the waxing gibbous phase, meaning the lit portion is getting larger each passing day, “gibbous” meaning humped, like a camel’s back. March 3, Jupiter shares the night sky with the moon, which is full March 5, and this is the smallest apparition of the year, as the moon is at apogee (furthest away in its orbit). March 12, Saturn is just two degrees away. March 18, a very tough observation is Mercury next to the thin sliver of the moon, one day away from new phase. The moon completely disappears at new moon phase, but is positioned to cover the face of the sun on the morning of March 20 for a total solar eclipse. Unfortunately, one has to be near the Arctic Circle to view this eclipse. The Faroe Islands and Spitsbergen get the best views. Mercury is best positioned for southern observers continuing to shine in the southeastern morning sky. Look for the speedy planet about 7 a.m. just before sunrise. Telescopic observers might like the
askatchewan Skies By James Edgar challenge of seeing Neptune and Mercury together in the same eyepiece view March 17. Venus in the western evening sky is in the middle of a three-planet lineup of Mars, Venus, and Uranus as the month opens. Using Venus as a guide, a good opportunity to view Uranus through binoculars is March 4, as the two planets are only a 10th of a degree apart. Venus climbs higher and higher throughout the month, and the months to come, to dazzle as the Evening Star. Mars begins the month as part of the threesome mentioned above, and quickly passes Uranus, following behind Venus as it climbs higher in the evening sky. At the end of March,
the lineup, much wider apart, becomes Uranus, Mars and Venus, giving a good example of planetary motion in real time. Mars is occulted by the moon for Antarctic viewers March 21. Jupiter starts out with the near-full moon close by in the eastern evening sky. The giant planet is well placed for viewers through the evening, rising around sunset, just east of the Gemini twins, Castor and Pollux. By March 29, the moon will be right beside Jupiter for the second time in the month. Saturn rises a little after midnight in the constellation Scorpius, and begins retrograde motion March 14. The Ringed Planet shares the sky with the wan-

ing gibbous moon March 12. Uranus begins the month at the top of the evening trio and ends the month behind the sun. Observers near the equator from Brazil to Asia can see the moon occult Uranus March 21. Neptune is a tough view, since it disappears into the sun’s glare as soon as it shows above the horizon. A telescope is needed in any event! Daylight Saving Time begins for most of North America March 8, and the spring equinox occurs in mid-afternoon March 20. Watch for the Zodiacal Light in the western evening twilight during the first half of March. — James Edgar has had an interest in the night sky all his life.

Beaver Blues win, advance to second round By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter
The Battleford Beaver Blues travelled to Shellbrook Tuesday looking for a win in the final game of their opening round series. After taking a two games to one series lead, the Beaver Blues were unable to close out the series Sunday at home. They bounced back when it mattered however, as they doubled up the Silvertips 4-2 Tuesday night to advance to the second round of the SPHL playoffs. The box score was not
posted at press time so the goal scorers were unknown. The second round is now set as the top-four teams from the regular season all advanced. The top seed Hafford Hawks will take on the Beaver Blues, while the second seed Meota Combines will battle with the defending champion Cut Knife Colts. If the regular season is any indication the Beaver Blues are in for a tough series as they dropped both games against the Hawks this year. Nov. 22 they were on the wrong side of a 7-3 score at

Meadow Lake, St. Walburg to face off in NSRHL finals By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter
The Meadow Lake Stampeders and St. Walburg Eagles have advanced to the North Saskatchewan River Hockey League finals. The date of the opening game of the series has yet to be posted. The playoffs began with the Maidstone Jets and Paradise Hill Hawks facing off in the opening round bestof-three survivor series. The Jets won the opening game 5-4, but dropped
games two and three by 11-5 and 11-0 scores to see themselves eliminated. Logan Harland scored an astonishing 10 goals while adding four assists in the two victories for the Hawks. The Edam 3 Stars and St. Walburg Eagles faced off in the second round, a best-offive series which saw the Eagles sweep the 3 Stars after a long break between games. Game one was played on Feb. 6, a 5-2 Eagles win, but game two wasn’t played until Feb. 17. The Eagles won that
game 6-3, and followed that up with a 7-1 win the next day in game three to advance to the finals. Cole Fern and Brady Zerr each scored eight points in the series. The other second round series saw the Hawks taking on the regular season’s top team, the Stampeders. It was the Stampeders jumping out to a series lead with a 6-3 win in game one on Feb. 14 thanks to threepoint performances from Logan Pethick and Cullen Morin.
Jamie Jeanotte had a goal and an assist in the losing effort. Game two saw the Hawks rebound in a big way picking up an 8-2 win. Harland scored a hat trick and Jeannote scored once while adding two assists in the bounce back win. Game three Saturday had the Stampeders winning 5-3 to take a 2-1 series lead. Jorden Iron scored and added an assist while Meadow Lake also got goals from Pethick, Bryce Neufeld, Calvin Fiddler and Jarret

wins is Gordon Munn with six and on his heels are the O’Hare, Scott, Kjargaard, and Hall teams with five wins each.
Other opening round matchups had the Macklin Mohawks defeating the Biggar Nationals in two games, both by 6-2 scores. The Kindersley Red Lions also swept their first round opponent Unity Miners by scores of 6-3 and 6-4. Kindersley continued their winning ways in the semis by sweeping the Mohawks 6-3, 4-3 in overtime and a convincing 8-1 in game three. In the regular season, Wilkie doubled up Kindersely on Nov. 29 4-2. Rick Cey, Mitch Suchnan, Derek Keller and Brock Harrison all scored for Wilkie while Byron Ismond and Chris Wellar answered for Kindersley. A rematch on Jan. 2 had
the Outlaws cruise to an 8-3 win. Suchnan, Harrison and Kyle Wagner all scored twice for Wilkie with Ismond picking up two and Brandon Cummings responding for Kindersley. Jan. 15 the Red Lions got revenge in the final regular season matchup, picking up a 6-5 overtime victory. Jonny Calkins had a huge night scoring twice and adding three assists for the Red Lions. Cey and Will Rathje had three-point nights of their own for Wilkie. The dates have not been posted for the final. Wilkie is looking for back-to-back championships as they won the NSRHL in seven games over St. Walburg last season.
Aschenbrenner in the win. Harland continued his torrid playoff scoring with a goal and an assist. Sixty minutes wasn’t enough to solve the series in game four as the teams headed to overtime tied at five. It took two extra periods until the Stampeders were able to solve Hawks goaltender Joe Brown seven minutes into the second
overtime frame to advance to the finals with a 6-5 win. Despite being eliminated, the Hawks have the top four scorers in the playoffs. Harland scored 23 points in just six games for the top spot, while Jeanotte had 20 points in seven games. There’s a large drop in scoring leaders after those two with Justin Hougham and Derrick Oliver both sitting at nine points.

UNITY - Speed skating isn’t exactly a popular sport in our area. When you think of speed skating, you think of Olympic champions like Clara Hughes or Catriona Le May Doan. There’s a new name to add to the list of well-known speed skaters. Sixteen-year-old Rayel Green is in her second season of speed skating. Green, who attends high school at McLurg in Wilkie, is a multi-sport athlete dabbling in volleyball and fastball, but has taken on a new challenge. Green is learning speed skating and training with the Lloydminster Border Blades club. A former figure skater, Green decided to try something new. Green says she knew there was a speed skating oval in Lloydminster and decided to check it out one day. This year alone Green has attended short track events in Lloydminster, a long track event in Calgary and the weekend of Feb. 6, took part in the CACLT national event in Saskatoon. She plans to participate in more short track meets once the long track season is over. Green invites others to try the sport. “Don’t be afraid to try it,” she said. “The club in Lloyd is very welcoming. All competitions are optional so you can be as competitive as you choose to be.”
Rayel Green hopes to work towards more competition appearances in her newest sport endeavor. Photo submitted
Skaters do need to have one thing however, commitment. Green travels to Lloydminster three times a week to train, as well as dedicating her own time to personal training to keep up with the demands of the

The thatched roof on the Western Development Museum’s Ukrainian house is deteriorating. Photo submitted
Submitted
Western Development Musuem
The foundations for the Ukrainian House at the WDM Village were laid in 1967 with Alex Balych from the Canadian Ukrainian Association in charge of building this tribute to the Ukrainian pioneers of Saskatchewan. Constructed from cinder blocks with a clay and plaster whitewashed covering, the house has a thatched roof made up of 12 layers of thatch that overlap like shingles. The roof is held up by large log rafters, and is topped off with a row of crossed roof-riders. It takes 3,000 bundles of rye harvested in the blue haze stage (where the seeds have not yet developed that would attract birds and rodents which would damage the stalks), grown to about five feet, to fully cover the roof. The rye that was used to thatch the house in 1999 was actually grown at the WDM. It replaced a leaking roof of slough-hay that had been put on in 1983. Once harvested it is stooked and left to stand for 10 days before the process of splitting, combing and tying of the bundles begins. Inside the house there are two rooms, a kitchen with a working bread oven and a sitting room-bedroom combination with original furnishings and textiles. The tablecloth was hand stitched by Mary Kindel from Meadow Lake and was over 100 years old in 1969 when it was donated to the WDM Ukrainian House by the owner. There are also traditional Ukrainian pillowslip covers and a bedspread that took eight years to complete, such is the intricacy of the embroidery on them. The pillows are in graduating sizes, with the largest pillows and bedspread nor-
mally being used only on Sundays and festive occasions. This information was gleaned from some newspaper cuttings found in our scrapbooks and has not yet been substantiated. Pioneera in 1969 saw the Ukrainian home providing borscht and fresh baked bread from the oven. The Canadian Ukrainian Association held their first venture during Those Were The Days in July 1969 when a meal was served to 500 people, organized by Mrs. P. Malitski. The house was completed and opened with much ceremony, in Ukrainian and English, on June 27, 1971, by Mike Balych Sr. and Mr. Torchuk, with the opening ribbon being held by the reigning king and queen of the Greek Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic Youth organizations. The church was also opened on the same day and a monument to the Ukrainian pioneers was unveiled and blessed by the Reverend S. Zuzak, who conducted the first service in the Ukrainian Church. Traditional songs were sung and there were Ukrainian dancers to entertain the crowd. Invitations were sent to Ukrainian residents of 80 years of age and over, as the house was opened 80 years after the first Ukrainians homesteaded in Canada. Tribute was paid to these early settlers and all they had accomplished. During its time on the WDM site, the house has received many visitors, but three especially are of note, both to the museum and also to the Ukrainian community. The first was in 1970 and his name was Joseph Lesawyer. He was, at that time, the supreme president of the Ukrainian National Association in America and was on a visit to the Battlefords. Lesawyer was also president of the Ukrainian Professional
Society of North America and executive director of the Shevchenko Memorial Committee of America. During his tenure was responsible for arranging for the erection of a monument to Taras Shevchenko in Washington in 1964. Lesawyer was accompanied by Canadian Senator Paul Yuzyk, who was known as the father of multiculturalism after a speech in which he criticized Lester Pearson regarding the Royal Commission on Bilinguilism and Biculturalism. Yuzyk said this ignored the fact that Canada was, in fact, a multicultural society, an ideal upheld later by Pierre Trudeau. Senator Yuzyk met with Trudeau in Winnipeg in 1971 after Trudeau announced the policy of multiculturalism at the Ukrainian Canadian Congress in October 1971. A third visitor was Stephen Worobetz, who was the 13th lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan. Originally from Krydo, he was the first lieutenant governor of Ukrainian origin. While servicing with Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry as a medical officer during the Second World War, he was awarded the military cross in Italy for courage under fire. So the house has seen many visitors. It has also experienced a lot of weather, which is now sadly taking its toll on the thatched roof, along with vermin infestation. Because thatching is a rare occupation, it has proved difficult to even repair the roof and the integrity of the building and its contents are now in jeopardy. So if anyone reading this article has any knowledge of the ancient art of thatching, we would welcome the assistance in restoring the crown of this property to its former glory.

Engineers won’t listen to farmer wisdom This has been a colder week and then at the end a brief warm up. We have had our freezing rain. Driving is more tricky with lots of black ice practice. Front wheel drive vehicles are just amazing in how they can travel like the dickens but can’t stop or turn. There have been a few people on their roofs before they realized what was going on. Slow down out there, people. Life is for living, don’t blow it on a big hurry up hurry for nothing. I have marked Feb. 18 as a trace of hoar frost so come Aug. 18, we will see. On the home front, Jaco had serviced the Ford tractor and it is back in machinery row. When it was in the shop I suggested to him he could get a spray can of Ford blue paint from Keranda and touch up some of the faded patches. You know what you could imagine if the Energizer bunny got a can of blue paint. It was the wrong color and it just goes on and on and on. I don’t know what we will do with it but it is not going to stay like that. Midnight Blue is not Ford blue. Geezzzz. Did you not notice the difference? Lord love a billy goat. We have the air seeder tank in the shop now and Jaco is modifying it so we can mount it above my grinder and pelleter. Airhead

says he will come and lift it up for us. It has been three or four years since I started this project so I would like to see it done while I am still here to see it. When I have had help we have done a little each year. The stand that holds the grinder and pelleting machine is in place. The grinder and pelleter are all wired in. There are bins built in the elevator to hold the grain to be processed so that is all done. We need the air seeder tank in place so we can install the augers to move the grain from the elevator to the grinder. The air seeder tank will meter the grain into the grinder. Then I need a system to take the pellets away. Lots of work to do yet but every day we are closer. I was talking to Lloyd Holmes from Paynton the other day and I asked him how RM of Paynton was doing about getting the ferry running again. He was shaking his head as he told me there was $4.1 million allocated to fix the road. That was two years ago and the road may not be open this year. The road to the ferry is slumping away and they had to close the road. I am interested in that road because my wife’s family have a cabin at Turtle Lake. When we come home instead of turning west south of Livelong, I turn east and go a few miles east before I

Regular contributor to newsoptimist.ca go south. It is a scenic drive and eventually you come out at Paynton Ferry. I like that road and have been across there many times. Lloyd went on to tell me that there are springs in the hills and the road runs beside a coulee that drains to the river. They have dug the old road out about 20 or 30 feet deep replacing it with good clay but the road is still slumping. Lloyd said the engineers will not listen to anyone and will not fund anything off the road allowance right of way even if it helps improve the road. Before they put the ferry in there the community wanted it back up river about three miles but the government engineers put it where it is anyway. In 1956-57 Barbar Construction hauled the gravel for Highway 5 across the river on an ice bridge. In talking to Kevin Garret, the reeve, he said the Barber trail is still there and the trail is not slump-
ing. He said the engineers have come up with a plan to fix the current crossing. They plan to put weeping tile drainage by the road. I know that works because they had to do that in two places on Highway 21 south and it is OK. I was intrigued by this ice bridge over the North Saskatchewan. I would have been about 10 years old at the time. I was talking to Keith Paton and he told me he worked on the ice bridge and hauled gravel over it. He said that his friend Gerry Stephenson knew more than he did. I phoned him. He is retired and lives in Edmonton. He told me he worked on the project. One of his jobs was to go to Maidstone to Barney and Frank Dacus’s store and haul groceries back to camp. They had 75 to 100 people working there. He said the food was good at camp and he gained weight. He also towed a fourwheeled water wagon that
he had to back in and fill at a railway tower at Birling. He said on the ice bridge they had ties that were froze down at both ends that you drove on to get on the road across the river. The bridge was two or three feet thick of ice over the river ice. It was wide enough for two trucks to pass. When he got to haul gravel they used the big Auto Car trucks. They worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week, six hours on, six hours off. You could make four trips a shift. They also hauled gravel south of Paynton through the reserve for the highway. Barbar Construction also hauled gravel from south of Waseca for what was then called Highway 5. It is now four lanes and renamed Highway 16. Barbar hauled all the gravel for the highway from Lashburn to Bresaylor. They might have done more but that’s all what I know of. Gerry Stephenson told me that when he was done hauling gravel he got a job in Lloydminster hauling fuel for B/A. One of the places he hauled was to Andy and Mike Viglas at
Waseca. He would stop at the café there for meals. One small world, eh! Joke of the week: The farmer had 200 chickens and he needed some roosters. He shopped around and ended up buying only one. Randy, a purebred Leghorn rooster, was very expensive. The farmer took Randy to the farmyard and told him “Now listen Randy there are 200 chickens here, you need to pace yourself”. Randy said “yup, yup, yup” and off he ran as hard as he could. He did all of the chickens three or four times. He found a pen of ducks and he did all of them three or four times. Then he found a pen of geese. He did all of them three or four times. He was even on top of all the pigs and cattle. The next morning there was Randy, laying flat on his back in the middle of the yard, buzzards circling overhead. The farmer fearing the worst went over to him expecting to find him dead. Randy was very much alive and had one eye fixed on the buzzards overhead he said to the farmer “Ssssh, get out of here, they are getting closer.”

- kidney - colon Secondary - skin - lungs These five organs are responsible for absorbing, neutralizing and eliminating most toxins our bodies encounter and produce on a regular basis. The kidneys are responsible for filtering blood and eliminating urine while the liver is responsible for a series of enzymatic reaction which help neutralize toxins and prepare them to be eliminated from the body via the colon and kidneys. The colon will capture toxins with the aid of bile and it relies on adaquate fibre to be able to excrete the toxicity from the body. If either the liver, kidneys or colon are not able to do their jobs properly the skin and lungs take over and the common results are things such as skin eruptions, congestion, mucus build up or breathing problems.

Learning communication skills helps young people navigate their world and prepare for workforce, civic and family roles they will assume as young adults. North Carolina 4-H recognized the importance of these skills more than 80 years ago by initiating public speaking and record keeping events for youth, ages nine to18. A recent study by North Carolina Cooperative Extension staff indicates the public speaking program builds skills. Youth prepare and deliver a fiveto 12-minute demonstration, illustrated talk or creative performance for an audience and panel of three expert judges. In the process, youth learn skills including research, goal setting, organization and oral presentation and increase knowledge in one of 38 subject-matter areas sponsored by the program. Most important, public speaking fosters selfconfidence that empowers a young person to learn, serve and lead in many arenas for years to come. In terms of impact, it describes that both boys and girls of all ages indicated public speaking helped most in confidence building and learning more about a topic. Preparation and delivery of a speech helped them communicate ideas to others,

Haunted by the ghost of February past Mostly known for Groundhog Day and Valentine’s Day, with February mostly behind us it makes for a perfect time to consider what this past month has meant, both traditionally and historically. With the CBC show Book of Negroes (with Cuba Gooding Jr.) recently being aired and in a month celebrating love and romance, February was a time to reflect on tolerance, gratitude for others and basic human compassion. The fact that Black History Month and Valentine’s coincide in the same month makes for a good moment to think about how we treat each other, both currently and in the past. What other month would be a better cue than this to start thinking about putting aside our differences and doing something to increase the
general well-being of the people in our lives, to cooperate and to function as a unified group. With the tradition of Valentine’s Day being celebrated throughout the ages, it’s interesting to note one of its varied historical stories tells of a man named Valentinus who was martyred for illegally marrying couples. According to folklore, Valentinus was a holy priest of Rome during a time when marriage was banned by Emperor Cladius the second, who was intent on expanding his territory. Either married men could not enlist or simply made for poor soldiers because they feared leaving their families, both through death and travel.

Sports psychology, sports trauma Shortly after my 17th birthday, I participated in a friendly, yet competitive, basketball tournament. I was going up for an offensive rebound and when I landed on the ground I felt a sharp pain in my left calf. I collapsed to the ground, grabbing the swelling in my leg. Later when I was meeting with doctors, I heard the phrases “torn muscle,” “missed the nerve,” “lucky to walk again.” Those words rang through my head as I was on crutches and in a walking boot for just over two months, and as I underwent intense physiotherapy for four more months. To this day, I am not as aggressive around the hoop as I used to be. Albeit, some of it may have to do with that I’m not as fit as I used to be, but there still is that lingering fear, and reminders when I play in similar venues. Sports psychology is a recent field and is devoted to helping athletes gain a mental edge that helps improve or enhance their athletic performance. Sports trauma is even newer. The

There are two psychotherapies that are beneficial in treating a traumatic experience and can be applied to a traumatic sporting experience. The first is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Trauma (CBT for Trauma), and the second is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. CBT for Trauma focuses on understanding thoughts, emotions, body feelings
and actions, challenging negative and unhelpful thoughts and reframing those thoughts into positive helpful ones. Relaxation exercises are used to help lower the stress and arousal system baselines in the body. All this is done to prepare for gradual exposure to the traumatic experience through narration. Outcome is awareness of trauma triggers and being able to manage them. EMDR Therapy focuses on the traumatic experience, the distress it causes presently, negative cognitions and body sensations associated with the traumatic event.

The magic of the winter garden By Erl Svendsen Most people seldom think of the winter landscape beyond the snow, hoar frost, icicles and cold. But there’s much in the plant world to appreciate at this time of year. It was a friend of mine, Mae, who reminded me of this. “We often buy plants for their summer leaf or flower appearances but that can only be appreciated seven months of the year at most.” She included a newspaper clipping from her local newspaper about how tree and shrub barks add an often forgotten dimension to
your garden. And how true this is. From my time on the West Coast, I remember the evergreen arbutus trees (Arbutus menziesii) with their yearround coppery peeling bark. On the prairies, we have some showstoppers of our own. Take the Amur chokecherry (Prunus maackii). In early spring it is covered in fragrant creamy white blossoms, it attracts birds in the fall with its small black cherries, but throughout the year it has bright coppery bark. Then there’s the white birch (Betula papyrifera) with its white bark. And

arden Chat while most other trees have brown or grey bark, they all have interesting features like furrows that form a diamond-patterned lattice over the trunk, smooth silvery or grey bark, knots, deep grooves and other features. A seldom planted, hard to find but hardy tree, the Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense) has soft, corky, wavy ridged bark. Take a look on the north side of a mature tree and you may discover a colourful network of lichens and moss. Interesting bark is not just limited to deciduous trees. As I child I would make my way under the canopy of pines (Pinus spp.) and peel of the surface bark chips to reveal the nutmeg brown of unweathered bark. Jack and Scots pine (P. banksiana and P. sylvestris) are naturally tan-coloured and more easily shed their bark chips. Fir trees (Abies spp.) have smooth silver grey bark that shines through the foliage. There are also many shrubs that lend their bark to the landscape appeal.

dogwood, C. alba) has been selected for many features like leaf colour (yellow, variegated, purple hue) and plant size. But it is its bark colour that gives red osier dogwood its name. One cultivar, Coral (C. alba Coral), has especially arresting, bright coral-pink stems. Similarly, yellow twig dogwood (C. sericea Flaviramea and C. sericea Lutea) has gleaming canary-yellow stems. Tip: it is only the young growth that displays so brightly in late winter and early spring. So in the early spring, before leaf out, either remove the oldest, dullest branches, no more than a third each year or every three years cut the entire shrub down to four
inches. Other shrubs have winged branches (winged burning bush, Euonymus alatus), shaggy bark (honeysuckle, Lonicera ssp.; ninebark, Physocarpus opulifolius) and twisted branches (Harry Lauder’s walking stick, Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’ – borderline hardy). Mae went on to say her letter that the news clipping “reminded me about the ‘winter flowers’ I used to pick at home when I was little.” As she learned more about plants she discovered they were only the dead remnants of fall blooming wildflowers – goldenrod, yarrow, cow parsnip and smooth aster. “Still the memory is just as beautiful.”

These dead remnants are more alive than one might expect. They contain the seeds for coming season, attract birds and other animals and add interest to winter garden. Take a look at your own garden and you’ll discover your own ‘winter flowers’ such as swollen black rose hips, seed heads waving over the snow from your ornamental grasses and dried hydrangea flower clusters and much more. — This column is provided courtesy of the Saskatchewan Perennial Society (www.saskperennial. ca; hortscene@yahoo.com).

OBITUARIES HOEY, Clifford Albert: March 23, 1934 – February 2, 2015. ‘The Day is Done’ and the precious life of Clifford Albert Hoey of North Battleford ‘silently (stole) away’ Monday, February 2, 2015 at Battlefords Union Hospital. Cliff died at the age of 80 years, following a brief illness. Cliff leaves to cherish his life and mourn his passing his loving partner and wife of 35 years Linda Lewis; his sisters Bernice Sinclair, Kinistino, SK and Shirley Turgeon, Toronto, ON; his daughter Debbi (Mark) Toole, Saltspring Island, BC; his sons Daryl (Glenda) Hoey, Wainwright, AB and Allan (Lorraine) Hoey, Ottawa, ON; their mother Pat Hoey, North Battleford; six grandchildren Meaghen (Erikk) Isfeld and Erin Toole, Victoria, BC; Jennifer (Jay) Simpson, Wainwright, AB, Cheryl (Aaron) Long, Lloydminster, AB, Ashley Hoey and Marshall Hoey, Ottawa; four great grandchildren Amy Long, and Emmalee, Mackenzie and Alex Simpson; sistersin-law Cheryl McKay, Victoria BC; Heather (Larry) Weise and family Jeremy (Laura) Lewis and Michael (Natasha) Hayward, Stoughton, SK; Tracy (Tylor) McGrath & children Mikaela, Holly and Travis, Watrous, SK; brother-in-law David Lewis (Barb Schmidt), Saskatoon, SK; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Cliff was predeceased by his parents Joseph & Hazel Hoey of Kinistino, SK; brothers-in-law Lloyd Sinclair, Kinistino and Ted Turgeon, Toronto, ON; and parents-in-law Frank & Thora Lewis, Watrous, SK. Cliff was born at Melfort, SK during the Great Depression. He and his sisters Bernie and Shirl grew up on the family farm at Kinistino, wrapped in the boundless love of their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. During these early childhood years, Cliff developed a love of nature that would be a touchstone through his lifetime. He was inspired by the wonder of birds, and awed by the gentle power and grace of draft horses. His boyhood days were filled with simple adventures, the joy of family and laughter, the curiosity of youth, and an occasional scolding for some mischievous misadventure. Cliff’s world and that of his sisters was shaken by the death of their mother in 1944, followed soon after by the death of their father in 1946. Cliff and his sisters were then raised by their aunt and uncle Florence and Ancil Paynter of Kinistino. The care and support of Aunt and Uncle enabled Cliff, Bernie and Shirl to remain together, further strengthening the love and ties that bind them tightly to this day. In his late teens, Cliff began working at the Kinistino Post newspaper, setting him on a career path that would last more than 30 years. He married Patricia Marshall of Kinistino on March 31, 1956. In July of 1957, the couple and their infant daughter moved to North Battleford where Cliff accepted a job with the McIntosh Publishing Company, printers of the North Battleford News-Optimist. Cliff worked as a compositor at the newspaper, putting the pages together through the genesis of printing from hot lead and hand-pick type, through linotypes, paste up, and offset printing. After three decades of progress and change, and the endless pressure of publishing deadlines, Cliff retired from the News-Optimist in August 1987 as composing room foreman. Cliff and Pat have three children: Debbi, Daryl and Allan. Cliff shared with his children his joy of reading and his enduring love of poetry. He was well known by family and friends to spontaneously recite poems he had learned in childhood. His strong, deep voice often broke forth in his favourite songs. He engendered in his children the enjoyment of music, an appreciation of the written and spoken word; reverence for beauty and the natural world; and the importance of hard work in making one’s own way in life. He shared his love of baseball and hockey – particularly of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He loved to tease and laugh, and had a wonderful sense of humour. “The gang” from the News-Optimist became an extended family of colleagues and friends who worked and socialized together. Cliff cherished these relationships for the rest of his life. Cliff and Linda shared the next 35 years of their lives together. They married on August 17, 1985 and continued to make their home in North Battleford. Cliff and Linda enjoyed frequent visits to Kinistino and Toronto to see his sisters and their families. Cliff welcomed Linda’s parents, sisters and brother as his own, spending lots of time in Watrous where he had visited as a child. He grew particularly close to Linda’s youngest sister Tracy (Lewis) McGrath, husband Tylor McGrath and their children Mikaela, Holly and Travis. Many special holidays were spent in Watrous, as well as in Victoria with Linda’s sister Cheryl McKay. Cliff was deeply loved by Dave & Barb of Saskatoon, and by Heather, Larry, Jeremy and Michael of Stoughton. Cliff and Linda loved their home and garden, spending as much time as they could working in and enjoying their backyard. Their greatest joy was time spent home together, with their fur children (the cats) close by. Cliff was blessed in 2008 to realize his greatest dream – visiting Ireland: ‘the Old Sod’ as he called it - and getting in touch with his Irish roots. Cliff was proud of his Irish heritage and excitedly shared the trip with wife Linda and sister Shirl. Cliff loved history, learning about and imagining the way things were in ‘the old days’. After retiring from the News-Optimist, he pushed himself beyond his comfort zone and sought a job as a tour guide at Fort Battleford National Historic Park. He found his heart’s calling and relished the several summers he spent working at The Fort passionately telling the story of its early years. Cliff humbly accepted the many compliments he received on the quality of his tours and the enthusiasm with which he imbued the Fort’s history. He was told many times how perfectly he fit the role of a dignified, distinguished North West Mounted Police officer resplendent in his period costume of Red Serge and Pillbox hat. Cliff ended his worklife at Ultra Print in North Battleford, working for and with several of his friends from the McIntosh Publishing days. In retirement, Cliff gave back to his community, canvassing for select charities, supporting The Battlefords North Stars as a season ticket holder, and volunteering and maintaining membership in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 70 North Battleford. Cliff served eight years as a Board member of the North Battleford Housing Authority, retiring from the position in December 2014. Cliff’s was a life well lived. He was ‘a good man’. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Students playing hockey, skating and curling By MCS Staff
Classes resumed Feb. 23, after a cold, blustery February break. At least the first day back was nice so students could be outside playing on the new snowbanks. Kaleb Nelson and Jayden Rempel, Grade 6 students, play with the Hafford Mustangs. They are currently in the second round of the Sask Valley League playoffs. They won their first game against Dalmeny, 5-1. They play Dalmeny again this week. If they are victorious, they will move on to the next round to play for the gold. Good luck, boys. Many of our students will be skating in the Radisson Figure Skating Carnival March 5. This will be held in the Radisson skating rink. The junior curling teams will take part in the Battle West District Curling playoffs in Wilkie this week. Two teams will be representing the school. The mixed
team is made up of Kale Skwark, Jade and Kyle Baker and Brooke Ferris. The junior girls’ team consists of Janna Ferris, Jenna Fouhy, Michelle Garrett and Taylor Gray. During the February break, Allison, Kimberley and Tyson Wawryk, along with MaKenna, Rylan and Emmerson Voegeli , Brodie and Taylor Gray and Jayden Caldwell went skiing in Jasper, Alta. The Wawryks stayed a few extra days because Allison was in a Kinder Komi race. This was her first mountain race. Her siblings were at the bottom of the hill cheering her on to the finish line. She placed 61st in the first race and 63rd in the second race. There were 82 girls competing in the race and most of them were racers who had more experience on the mountain. Students and staff were invited to wear pink Feb. 25. This is anti-bullying day

The Coba temple is the only Myan structure on which climbing is allowed, but it’s “at your own risk.” Photo submitted by Lorna Pearson
Excursions and sightseeing in Mexico Submitted by Lorna Pearson Correspondent
Sonya Bouvier’s account of the holiday she and Craig Johnson took in Mexico: This year we went to a resort that was 20 minutes south of Playa Del Carm, on the east coast side of Mexico, south of the Gulf of Mexico. It was beautiful with a natural jungle-type setting. There were nature paths for walking on the property. Itwas not just hotel, pool and beach. There was wildlife like iguanas, flamingos, monkeys flying from tree to tree and many birds. One day we took an excursion, the Coba temple tour that included history on the Mayan people, a few different buildings and ruins still standing. The Coba temple had a sign stating “Climb at your own risk.” This is the only temple in the Mayan Rivera area that people are allowed to climb. The steps were easy to climb, like a toddler learning to climb. Using hands and feet up you go. Coming down, Craig walked hanging on to the rope that was hung down the middle while I scooted down on my butt, one step at a time while also hanging onto the rope.
Then we took a “taxi” back to the tour bus area as my legs were shaking from the adrenaline and my fear of heights. The “taxi” was a man on a bike with a bucket in front that had a ledge. They put a cushion on it for a chair. Next stop on the tour was an old village where the people do not speak Spanish like the rest of Mexico. They still speak the Mayan language. We canoed across a small lake, did two different zip lines, then hiked to a cenote, an underground water system. This is sacred area to the Mayans. We stopped and had a smudging ceremony with the local shaman for a blessing to go forward into the water. This cenote was a totally enclosed cave; you did not go into it and swim out on the other side. To get down to the water, we had to rappel into the cave. The staff – local villagers hired by the tour company – helped us. They had people down below who placed a tire tube under us so we landed in the tube and could float around in the water. When we were ready to come out of the water, we had two choices: climb the rope ladder or go

back to where we landed where they hooked us back up and had two guys on a pulley system to bring people back to the surface. From the top looking down it showed complete darkness. Once down in the hole our eyes adjusted and we could see the walls. Once up and dried off, we hiked back to the village and the local ladies had lunch ready for us. Afterwards we went and bought the photos of the village adventure and then they took us back to the hotels. On another day we did a shopping day trip. A bus picked us up at 10:30 a.m. and took us to a silver factory. I bought a nice new ring. Then we went into Playa Del Carm and walked around Fifth Avenue, a touristy shopping area. I was pleased to find a Canada Dry ginger ale. When travelling you can never find ginger ale anywhere so I bought one and enjoyed it in the shade as it was a very hot day. Nights were cool, about 18 C. I did not have enough clothes as I took dresses for evening but it was too cold to wear them. Craig was good as the restaurants at night required long pants for men.

Junior curler has experience of a lifetime By Sherri Solomko Correspondent
UNITY — Landon Solomko, age 13, who curls both in league at the Unity Curling Club and as a member of the Unity Composite High School junior team, won the opportunity to be a SaskEnergy Junior Star for the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw Feb. 14 – 22. After the surprise announcement was made in Moose Jaw in December, with lucky winners being selected out of the 95 applicants, those selected, including Landon, anxiously awaited the arrival of the Scotties event. Landon was glad his dad chose to drive to Moose Jaw Feb. 13, after his playoff hockey game in Kindersley, in order to arrive in Moose Jaw before the big storm that was coming. “It wasn’t great between Kindersley and Rosetown but the weather improved pretty much to Chamberlain, and again from Tuxford to Moose Jaw it wasn’t great again. We arrived at 4 a.m. but we made it,” said Landon. Landon attended several draws prior to his big event, soaking up the atmosphere at the national curling event. “It was fun to see all the fans that dress up and have different noisemakers and hear the different chants they do, kind of like a Rider game. Our seats were also near Randy Ferbey, Brent Laing

and Mike McEwen which was kind of cool,” Landon explained. For his Junior Star day, he met up with SaskEnergy representatives Shannon Doka and Shelley Meadows who briefed the “stars” on their activity that afternoon. Landon explains, “We were all over the ‘backstage’ area of the arena to see all the places the volunteers work, where the curlers can work out and get ready for their games and stuff. We also got to be on the ice with our team while they were warming up and it is a really different view looking up, different from your seats looking down. We got tons of autographs and all of the teams were super nice to us. “Then we were lined up to march in for that game’s opening ceremonies, which
made me a little nervous but it was fun. When they marched us onto centre ice, our name was announced along with our team and I waved at the crowd. After this we watched some of the game right from behind the team benches and then we were taken on another tour of both the live broadcast in the TSN booth and the TSN mobile truck.” Each day the official Canadian Curling Association paper, The Heart Chart, available at the venue, included team photos of the day previous Junior Stars. Each of the 24 Junior Stars during the event received a limited edition SaskEnergy carryon bag full of goodies from both SaskEnergy and TSN, and an official team jacket. Continued on Page 38

Freedom to choose provoking anti-vax debate By Sherri Solomko Correspondent
That’s it, that’s all, folks. February 2015 is over this weekend and we will soon know the answer to “Did March come in like a lamb or a lion?” I know many residents were thoroughly unhappy with the lashes of bi-polar disorder Mother Nature dished out from Feb. 13 right through to Feb. 22 with freezing rain, snow and high winds. Let’s hear it for spring soon! The anti-vax movement has created more and more discussion each day. Ask anyone who lived the fear of the polio era or any other diseases the world had thought were eradicated and see what they say. Some elders dare challenge those anti-vaxxers to visit a cemetery and see the graves of children who died young from disease the world later eradicated. Ask any mom of
new babies of their fear of coming into contact with the measles, while they wait to have their children vaccinated. The freedom to choose isn’t always what you deem best for yourself, but what is deemed lifesaving for thousands of others. It’s a hot topic, people, and I doubt it’s going away any time soon. We can’t always rely on medicine to cure after the fact; we need to be proactive rather than reactive. There’s my rant of the week. At St. Peter’s School, return from the February break means kids are jumping back into several parts of their school year. The choir and band will be amping up their practices for the upcoming music festival. As well, students move into Lenten study.

Whitkow once boasted three elevators By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent
Situated 13 miles west of Mayfair is the hamlet of Whitkow with a population of 10 people. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Grosjean, originally from France, were the first settlers at Whitkow in 1905. Mike Kozlowski hailed from Whitkow, his hometown in Europe, thus the origin of the name. Like all small towns, this one boasted of three grain elevators (two burned in 1967) in the grain farming area, amongst many other businesses, such as Shyluke’s Hardware, Bobiak’s Meats, three cafés, a drug store, implement dealer, blacksmith, shoe repair shop, pool hall, hotel, livery barn, post office and a curling rink that was destroyed by fire. Whitkow area was populated mostly by new Canadians of Ukrainian origin. Two churches and two halls lasted many decades. The churches were of Greek Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic denominations. Whitkow had something that other communities didn’t have, a tailor, Harry Kowalchuk, who sewed many fashionable garments. Henry’s Transport was popular for hauling freight to other small communities. Telephone service arrived in 1957 and power in 1955. Mayfair became a big-
ger centre for many small schools closing doors. In 1955, Whitkow celebrated its 50th anniversary and again in 1980 with a 75th anniversary celebration. People from the United States and many provinces attended, reminiscing about the “good old days” when one didn’t even think of locking the doors at night. Lorna and Russell Buziak of Whitkow have been kept very busy as spectators at six grandchildren’s hockey games and tournaments. Valentine’s weekend was busy for Shirley and Julian Goyan, with company from Lloydminster, two daughters and grandchildren and also for Darcia and Jim Tkatchuk of the Whitkow area. Darcia had her brother and family from Calgary for the weekend and also their children and grandchildren. Dave and Maryann Mischuk travelled to Cold Lake, Alta. to visit their son, Adam, who has been living there for the past six years. Adam is employed by an environmental company. They stopped at Lloydminster to pick up his four-year-old daughter, Logan. Ruby Rafuse motored to Sherwood Park, Alta., to watch her granddaughter Kaitlin participate in “Kolektsiya,” a Ukrainian dance production. She is the president of the Vohon Dance Ensemble and still attends
university. This is their newest production, showcasing many traditional regional dances from over the years. This storyline combines elements of folklore and fantasy with mystery, love, loss and certainly dance. Ruby’s son Shane, wife Barb and three daughters are always a delight to visit. Mayfair’s Housing Authority had its annual supper for the board members and their families Feb. 12. The local CWL prepared the delicious meal. Ron and Heather Buziak spend many hours at their at their Ministikwan Lake cabin on weekends that usually last three to four days. Ice fishing, snowmobiling and visiting cabin friends pass the long cold winter days. Mayfair’s next scheduled bingos at Gamex in North Battleford are Monday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 25. This is the recreation board’s most profitable fundraiser. If you can work, please call Alice Grigor at 306-246-4212. Your help is greatly appreciated.

customized blue 2014 Yamaha Viper with a turbo charged motor and 174 inch tunnel and track, as well as a blue 2011 Yamaha Apex snowmobile. The two generators were blue Yamaha 2000 watt portable generators. Both chainsaws are Stihl saws and are orange. One of the saws is distinguishable as it is a
“show saw” that has a 121cc engine and 48-inch blade. Members of the public with information in relation to this or any other crime are asked to contact their local police service. Individuals wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

weekend for three productions. A few of us watched the hilarious comedy. Our drama club is always looking for more male members and this play featured five men and just one woman. Apparently it wasn’t so long ago that it was like “pulling teeth” to get a few men involved. Over the years, they have been fortunate to discover men who are regular participants and these fellows in turn encourage their friends to join.
Ron James, a stand-up comedian, put on a very entertaining evening Feb. 21 at the Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford. CBC apparently pulled his half-hour comedy show, so he is taking his talent on the road. My husband and I enjoyed his humour. A standing ovation was given by the crowd. My daughter and I attended a fantastic concert by 61-year-old Tom Cochrane, who was born in Lynn Lake, Man. He has hit interna-
tional fame and is still cutting new albums. This was held at Prairieland Park on the Saskatoon Exhibition Grounds. The highway proved to be a challenge en route home. We saw four vehicles in the ditch and a vehicle accident west of Radisson. Redfield, also in the Mayfair community, was once a bustling place for many pioneers. I will give a brief highlight in my next report.

Shrove Tuesday supper a tasty pancake feast By Lorna Pearson Correspondent
The Shrove Tuesday pancake supper was held at the Do Drop In Feb. 17, sponsored by the United/Anglican Church in Meota. There was a nice turnout of happy diners. The men took care of kitchen duties, cooking the pancakes and sausages, while the ladies handled the drinks and whipped the cream. Toppings of raspberry fruit, blueberry syrup, whipped cream as well as the usual maple syrup added to the interesting dining experience. The Prairie Women on Snowmobiles received an award for volunteerism and they didn’t even know they

Decisions will be made in May at the annual general meeting on how that money will be spent. The Livelong Curling

Club hosted the provincial sturling competitions Jan. 23 to 25. The champions are Red Pearce and Starla Denny. Congratulations. Livelong will be holding an open bonspiel March 13, 14 and 15. The extreme weather this year makes for interesting watching of the weather channel. Eighty-five per cent of the Great Lakes are frozen over and even Niagara Falls has an ice cover with the water still running underneath that, Tourists are flocking there to witness it as the cold temperatures are setting records everywhere in eastern Canada and the United States. A fellow from Taber, Alta. went to Charlottetown to take a two-week course at the university. He could get to his classes on only four days because of the snow. The February luncheon at the community hall found folks enjoying delicious pasta and salad. A few takeouts also went out to people who could not attend. It was a warmer day but with a fresh dump of two to three inches of snow, the bobcats and shovels were busy again. It’s amazing the job of street cleaning that goes on in Meota, compliments and bouquets to all who help get it done. It’s the new years in China now and millions are travelling. Buses, planes

and trains have had tickets sold out for over a month. This spring festival is one week of the year that the government gives everyone a holiday. Ken Parker is again trying to help a young Chinese student with his application to study at the University in Regina with a student visa. Ken flew to Palm Springs, Calif. Sunday to drive a car back to Olds, Alta. for an elderly lady. He is hoping the four mountain passes are clear of snow. The curling is over again, and how ironic that the top teams were all from the prairies and that the
Tournament of Hearts was held in Moose Jaw. Congratulations to all top teams and the “very green” crowd of fans. The reaction to the second last game not being televised for cable viewers was not a pleasant one, when they put Nascar racing in its place, which was also showing on at least one other channel. Upset customers can phone in and express their disappointment to 306-445-4045.

cut out most of those crime programs. What pleasure is there in watching people kill one another? Our family was checking prices in New Zealand – cigarettes are $28 a package, home mortgage rates are 4.5 to 6.5 per cent, haircut straight and short is $70, adding colour or touchups can range from $140 to $300, gas is $4 to $5 a gallon or 130 litres. The minimum wage is $14.25. The Sons of Norway held their fun day at the Bowlarena on Feb. 21 with a nice turnout. They started out with a great potluck dinner. Then the crowd split and two tables played Norwegian Whist while the 16 others enjoyed bowling. The Tournament of Hearts curling game was showing on the TV in the lobby so it was an exciting distraction for fans as it was Saskatchewan playing. The card winners were Lorna Pearson and Pat Chapman and booby prize went to Mae Johnson. The bowling winners were men’s high Dave Ottas and ladies’ high as Paulette Neale, booby prize went to Noreen Sehn. The booby prizes were potato heads. but the other prizes were baking, which everyone appreciates. Last week’s letter about people having to wait outside at the bus depot regardless of weather conditions, sounds like something inhuman. How could anyone make people leave? If the bus is late, is it not the responsibility of the company, not the people’s fault? I can hardly believe such goings on in this modern world of today. Has the human kindness element disappeared? Those who pitched in to help these folks prove it has not, completely. Because of the great demand for the 55 Alive course the earliest date we could get is Tuesday, May 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a potluck lunch at noon. Call Pearl to get your name on the list at 306-892-2227. There were so many interesting stories in last week’s paper I hope everyone enjoyed.

More than 180 riders attend Orolow rally By Lorraine Olinyk Correspondent
Orolow Ukrainian Catholic Church, northeast of Borden, held its annual snowmobile rally Feb. 21 with over 180 riders out to ride the course on a cold day. Winning the main prizes were: first, Jason Wionzek, Saskatoon, $1,000; second, Brennen Baillargeo, $600; and third, Kelly Shewchuk, Krydor, $400. Special prizes of $250 each went to Eric Pearce, Borden; Cam Sutherland, Saskatoon; and Crystal Anrends, Dinsmore. The 50/50 of $280 went to Gerald Roscoe of Saskatoon. The Borden Friendship Club held their monthly bingo Feb. 18. Winning the cash prizes were Audrey Duba,
Martha Rempel, Elizabeth Derksen, Jean Graham, Stella Hawryluk, Doreen Flath, Helen Sutherland and Jean Hryniuk, and Gerry Duba won twice. Upcoming next for the club was a Kaiser tournament Feb. 24, potluck supper and birthdays Feb. 25 and, in conjunction with the Lions and the health region, a presentation on diabetes Feb. 26.

the summer which cost over $7,000 and in 2014 they did not get a grant to cover this cost. Utilities for the year cost over $3,200 and building maintenance was over $6,500. The costs to keep the museum going do run to quite an expense and, without the grants from Sask Lotteries, Community Initiatives and Sask Culture, it would be hard to keep functioning. Helen read the programs and activities report from Sharon Assman. Games Children Played, with toys on display and part of a 300doll collection, was a special exhibit last year. At the opening in June cake and ice cream were served and the co-op presented the framed original document forming the Borden Co-op in 1914.
orden Radisson The Borden Museum held an annual meeting Feb. 20 in the Borden Seniors’ Room, with a report from Wendell Dyck on building and grounds. Internet and phone have been installed. There are new flowerbeds and new doors and windows in the lodge and Diefenbaker House. Heather Silcox gave the financial statement. Fundraising efforts showed income of $14,760.60 but expenses were $21,181.28 so they had to use some of the savings to cover the shortfall. They hired a student for
Six teams in sturling bonspiel
Helen also gave the report on volunteers who manned the museum on weekends. Karen reported on the busy and productive year they had. They need a new computer and some day their dream is to have water and sewer on the site. They belong to the River Valley Network and you can go to the website wwww. facebook.com/BordenDistrictMuseum or www.Facebook.com/RiverValleyNetwork. On the museum board are president Karen Kerr, secretary Helen Sutherland, treasurer Darlene Penner and Heather Silcox and Wendall Dyck, a much smaller board than other years. They need more volunteers to help out. 2015 is the 25th anniversary of the museum and, with the Rivers West Culture grant, the board will be putting on a free supper, program and silent auction March 14 at 6 p.m. in the Borden Community Centre. Champion fiddler James Steele and his sister Desiree will be entertaining. There
will be two presentations – one to the village from the museum and one from Affinity Credit Union to the museum. If you plan to attend the supper, please call Helen Sutherland at 306997-4517 or Karen Kerr at 306-997-5600 by March 11.

Some tests can bring a person to tears Ed, my neighbour next door, was full of questions last week. He wanted to know why I wasn’t using my snow blower rather than shoveling the snow. I told him that my snow blower needs a repair and won’t work until I fix it. My neighbour’s observation was that it was stupid to have a broken snow blower in the garage when it is now regularly snowing. I was to see this was not nearly as important to Ed as me bringing a bunch of books into our house. That caused Ed to come over in panic on the pretext of needing coffee. “You haven’t changed your mind
about moving have you?” he asked with anguish. Ed had seen me carrying books out of our house, as I have been donating books since our house went up for sale. Ed was a little calmer when he heard I was doing a college writing course online and the books were reference reading. I have heard that men will cry in their beer, but when Ed heard that we had rejected a couple of offers to buy our house, he seemed to be crying in his coffee. He claimed it was a little speck of something in his eye. I suggested maybe Ed needed to pray in earnest that we would get

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca an offer on our house we could accept. I then added the only other answer was for him to buy our house and rent it out. Then he would have his pick of neighbours next door. That brought a faint smile to his teary eyes. I asked Ed if he realized that he was being tested
in regards to the sale of our house. There are never easy solutions to sticky problems. Ed would love to see us move, but not at the cost of him buying our house to get rid of us. Mostly we want answers that cost us nothing. The message of the church Season of Lent focuses on
the cost of our sin. God was willing to sacrifice his only Son for sinners. God provided forgiveness for sinners through the sinless life and sacrificial death of Jesus his Son on the cross. It was a test of 100 per cent obedience. In the Old Testament Abraham was tested by God when he was told to take his son Isaac and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on a mountain. It was an immense test of Abraham’s obedience and trust in God. He trusted God to provide an answer to his severe test. Abraham was willing to slay his son Isaac, but God
prevented Abraham from doing so and provided a ram for the sacrifice. Abraham’s test was a glimpse of what would take place at Calvary. Since Adam and Eve, all people have been stuck in sin. We see sin in others but deny it in ourselves. God acted to undo sin’s eternal punishment. He gave His own Son as the needed sacrifice. Jesus’ earthly test was to obey His Father in heaven by willingly laying down his life as an offering for sinners. He sacrificed himself so that God His Father could provide a pardon for all sin once and for all time.

Ask your pharmacist about the big changes There are so many medications out there these days, and we’re all getting older and perhaps a bit more forgetful; it sounds like a recipe for disaster. It’s a good thing your pharmacist is paying attention. March is Pharmacist Awareness Month, and the Ca nadian Pharmacists Association wants you to know that your pharmacist isn’t just a dispenser of medications anymore. He or she follows your file carefully and stays on top of what your doctors are prescribing. The job of the pharmacist in Canada has evolved in recent years. These professionals are now considered as vital members of patient health-care teams because of the role they play in managing multiple prescriptions. They offer oneon-one guidance for customers and even administer medications in some cases. Here’s a glance at some of the things your pharmacist may be li censed to offer, although it varies from province to province.
• Administer a drug, such as a flu vaccine, by injection • Order and interpret lab tests • Change drug dosage or formulations • Provide emergency prescription refills • Prescribe for minor ailments and conditions • Renew and extend prescriptions WHAT ELSE IS NEW IN YOUR PHARMACY? E-prescribing is on the rise. The Canadian Pharmacists Association predicts that soon, most doctors will be sending prescriptions directly to your pharmacist with special software. The benefits of e-prescribing go hand in hand with those of electronic medical records: entire health-care teams have access to a patient’s treatment plan at all times and in its most up-to-date version. Consult the CPA website to learn more about what these professionals can do in your province, or talk to your own pharmacist about what’s new and how it affects you.
