B’fords and District Co-op discovers new name

Board president Randy Graham speaks at the annual general meeting of Battlefords and District Co-op. Photos by John Cairns

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Battlefords and District Co-op will have a new name, soon.

At a special meeting Tuesday night at Territorial Place Mall, members voted overwhelmingly in favor of changing the name to Discovery Co-op Ltd. The change will not happen immediately. There is still a process to go through, but the name has been reserved through their business corporations branch and the expectation is the new name will be rolled out fully later this summer.

It was explained by Randy Graham, board president of Battlefords and District Co-op. that the reason behind the name change was a desire to remain relevant within the communities so all members can continue to

have a sense of ownership of the co-op.

The name change proposal is not something that came out of the blue. Graham noted there had been considerable talk about it at board meetings for the last three or four years.

A communications consultant was hired to assist with the name search and about 60 potential names were considered before Discovery was chosen.

It was explained the name itself harkens back to the rich explorer and settler history of the region, while looking ahead to the future as well.

“The name does not change our identity, but it better reflects who we are,” Graham told members in his presentation.

Another rationale was a recognition that their co-op had grown to encompass

more than just the Battlefords. It had expanded to include areas such as Glaslyn and more recently Radisson, whose co-op amalgamated with Battlefords and District Co-op. Graham told members the board sees it as a trend and needs to be recognized.

In speaking to reporters Graham made clear the time was ripe to make the change.

“We just knew it was time, that we had to either go with something or we’re happy with where we are,” said Graham.

He explained part of the rationale for the change was so the co-op could partner up with other retailers.

Battlefords and District Co-op have “a very strong balance sheet, a very strong management team in place, and we know there are retails out there that are really looking for our help.”

Directors of the Battlefords and District Co-op take the oath following the election of the new board of directors at their Annual General Meeting on Tuesday night.

Later that night, members voted to approve a name change to Discovery Co-op.

“Having a generic name like Discovery Co-op really adds and assists us in some of those opportunities that are coming forward for our members.”

The name change also helps considerably for communities whose local co-ops had amalgamated into the Battlefords and District Coop.

“For Radisson, they were sad to see the name Radisson Co-op disappear,” said Graham.

Accepting the name Discovery Co-op “makes it a lot easier for the communities that we are serving.”

The special meeting approving the name change came following an annual general meeting, in which the organization reported it had a record year of sales this past year of $104 million, an increase of 28 per cent over the year before.

This was in spite of challenges acknowledged during 2014, including the drop in oil prices.

Allocations were also announced at the meeting. An allocation of 2.5 per cent on agro purchases, 4.5 per cent on fuels/propane/lube purchases, two per cent on Marketplace purchases and .75 on Home Centre purchases are being made.

The total allocation that will be returned to members is $2.38 million.

The Battlefords and Dis-

trict Co-op also continues to expand with construction well underway on the Battleford Square Gas Bar, a complete redo of the North Battleford card lock facility, as well as modernization of the Home Centre, Leisure Time Sports and FF2.

“We continue to invest into our facilities,” said Graham. “We want to make sure your experience here is at clean modern facilities, and I think we’re hitting that nail on the head all the time now.”

Safe disposal opportunity embraced Staff A growing number of North Battleford and area residents brought their hazardous household waste to the City of North Battleford’s operations building Saturday, according to a press release.

Tammy MacCormack, the City’s Environmental Manager, says 66 vehicles

brought aerosol cans, mercury, glue, solvents, herbicides, pesticides, germicides and insecticides to the operations building during this Household Hazardous Waste Day. “Some people were cleaning their or their parents’ homes and brought boxes of cleaners and yard care chemicals that had

been sitting in a shed or the basement for years,” MacCormack said. “This helps protect the environment, because a lot of this can be harmful to wildlife and people, especially if it gets into rivers or streams.”

Household Hazardous Waste Days, which the City says have been growing in popularity since they were

306-4

first started in North Battleford, allow residents from the city and surrounding area to safely dispose of adhesives, aerosols, cleaners, corrosives, oxidizers, poisons, and solvents completely free of charge.

The next Household Hazardous Waste Day will be held Sept. 26.

Editorial

End carnage, take care in ‘the zone’

By Becky Doig Editor

There is a saying that in Saskatchewan there are two seasons, winter and construction.

And as much as we love to whine about the condition of Saskatchewan highways, we are just as likely to carp about construction delays. Face it, Saskatchewan drivers can be a society of complainers.

Complainers we can live with. Those who refuse to take in what is going on around them, causing mayhem and death, are harder to forgive. What is it going to take to get drivers to pay attention in, around, before and after construction zones?

In spite of clever, attention-getting education campaigns and even more attention-getting fines for disobeying speed limits, some still aren’t getting the message.

Sunday afternoon three teenage boys died when a vehicle they were in was stopped at a construction delay and was hit from behind by a semi. STARS transported a 21-year-old flagman on the construction site to Saskatoon for treatment. RCMP describe his injuries as serious. Also injured were a 19-year-old pilot vehicle driver, the 48-yearold driver of another vehicle stopped at the site and the 38-year-old semi driver, who were all treated at a local hospital for minor injuries.

Not at all a dim memory is the death two years ago of an 18-year-old flag person hit by a driver speeding through a construction zone. She was expecting a child.

Just one of those bright, young lives cut short is too many. As the tally mounts, our horror should rise along with it.

It’s construction season, folks. Be aware, drive defensively and slow down in the zone. Let’s not add to the carnage.

Renaming holiday would honour 55,000 Canadians Dear Editor With the anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe, the time has come to rename the long weekend in May to Victory Day to commemorate this event.

We have a war memorial to the First World War, but a mere plaque to acknowledge those 55,000 Canadians killed or wounded in the last conflict.

The relevance of the current monarchy is dubious at best, thus there is no good reason to keep honour-

Bin crane does the trick for tank installation A week of beautiful weather – how nice! Hopefully spring is here and we do not have any winter rebounds like we have had in other years. I have memories of a foot of snow in the beginning of May. That definitely put a stop to everything and I had cattle then. It was crappy to drive around and try and look after them. My work stopped and it instantly became a late spring. Crops were seeded late, but when they came up they really thrived.

There is good and bad about it. I am hoping for a nice pleasant spring.

On the home front, Jaco and Quinny have got the air seeder tank installed above the grinder. We had Airhead lift the last pipe up for the stand, but when he saw the tank he said, “No way!” So we had to come up with a

We rented a bin crane from the Lashburn Co-op and it lifted the tank with no problem. We celebrated the success of this event with a shot of spiced rum at my kitchen table.

Now we will have the time to get the augers mounted.

One job at a time, the most pressing one first. Moving the Texas gates will probably be next on the list.

In Alberta on May 5 is the election. Jim Prentice and the Conservatives are in tough, plagued by misdeeds by the people and overspending of the people who were in power before him. I hope he survives, but according to the media hype, he may not make out too well. The polls show the NDP in the lead. That would be disastrous for Alberta.

We in Saskatchewan have suffered under the NDP for years. They destroy the industry and incentive with

Magazine features business in NB Submitted

City of North Battleford

A national business magazine published out of Halifax, N.S. featured the City of North Battleford in its April issue with a feature story on living and doing business here.

Business In Focus, which has a circulation of 363,100 subscribers, carried a six-

page feature on North Battleford.

“In North Battleford, we already know we live in a great community,” says Mayor Ian Hamilton.

“With this article, Business In Focus is sharing all

of the great things we have to offer with the rest of Canada. It’s great exposure for our community and we hope that, being a business magazine, it will lead to even more opportunities for our business sector.”

high taxes and red tape.

Be sure to get out and vote because it is an important right that you need to exercise. I think if you do not vote then you do not have any right to complain about what you are going to get. Good luck to all the honest candidates. There are honest candidates in all parties and I would hope good people get elected.

May all the thieves, crooks and people with high spending habits not win and have to stay home. People who ran before and were elected felt that they had a sense of entitlement in which they felt they should serve themselves and not the people.

They also allowed the civil servants to run amuck and government spending went crazy. That is not what the people voted for. They voted for good government and they did not receive it.

In this election there will be consequences. My hat is off to all candidates who, by running, make our democracy work.

• I agree. Those who commit crimes stay in out of the cold like everyone else. 27% • I disagree. Crime is on the rise, period. 34% • The community is growing, and with that will come a corresponding rise in crime. 40%

This week’s News-Optimist online poll: Battleford Town Council has expressed concern over the speed of traffic in the town and on the North Saskatchewan River bridges. Do you speed?

• Of course, everybody does.

• Just a little, not enough to get stopped.

• I set my cruise control right on the dot.

• The speed limits are too low so, yes, I do.

• I prefer to drive under the speed limit, just to be extra safe.

More repairs to old bridges in the works August closure expected

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

The public can expect the old North Saskatchewan River Bridges to be closed for about two weeks in late August or early September of this year for additional concrete repair work to be done.

Monday, Battleford town council authorized Vector Construction and Associated Engineering to perform more concrete repair

work to a maximum cost of $300,000 plus taxes, including engineering fees.

In 2013, Battleford town council, which has been responsible for the bridges since 2003, had resolved to spend $100,000 plus taxes and engineering on bridge repairs, however they were able to bump that up to $250,000 in 2014 with funding approved from the Battlefords River Valley Board.

In a memo to council, it was noted Vector Construc-

tion would fix the price for scaffolding at $40,000, leaving the balance of funding for concrete repairs. The reserve for the bridge repairs of $200,000 plus $100,000 from the River Valley Board brings the total available to $300,000. That leaves $50,000 that can be added to the work to be done in 2015.

Councillors agreed the best time to do the work would be in the fall, rather than early June, one of the two options suggested in the memo, because the public would be using Finlayson Island less at that time of year.

One of the spans is a traffic bridge connecting the island with the town. The other span is closed to vehicles.

A slurry on the traffic bridge deck is also planned for this year. While the surface is broken up, anything more than a coating of slurry would bring the load on the bridge too high, said Town Administrator Sheryl Ballendine. That doesn’t mean, however, that reconstruction of the deck and surface couldn’t be possible at some time in the future.

The bridges were built in 1908. When considered a single entity, they comprise the oldest existing highway bridge in the province, the longest of its type. When the provincial highways department built a second bridge over the North Saskatchewan River for traffic northbound on Highway 4 and westbound on Highway 16, the old bridges were closed to through traffic.

Pay increase for council

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

In their first raise since 2010, Battleford town councillors approved new remuneration rates Monday.

Chair of the administration committee, Susan McLean Tady, said it’s difficult to put forward a recommendation on increasing

remuneration, but it’s something that should not be put off any longer.

In determining the proposed rates, she said the committee researched the average remuneration for council of five municipalities similar to Battleford and went with the middle range.

Council approved a mayor’s salary of $20,975.40

per annum and councillors’ salaries of $8,536.50 per annum effective Jan. 1, 2015.

Effective Jan. 1, 2016, the mayor’s and councillors’ salaries will go up to $21,585.15 and $8,780.40 per annum respectively.

Town Administrator Sheryl Ballendine said the increase is in line with increases to town staff.

Historical treasures turn up in England

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

CONDO LIFE CAN BE FOR YOU

• NO SNOW TO SHOVEL • NO GRASS TO MOW

Folks at the City of North Battleford Historic Archives got a reminder this week that the world is a small place.

A visitor from England dropped by the city archives, and she had with her a gift — a number of photos from North Battleford from early last century.

The visitor has a family connection to North Battleford.

She is Margaret Usher, from the village of Rastrick, near Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. Originally, she lived in Shipley. Her father’s family came from Bradford, which is where the Illingworths came from.

“Our common greatgrandfather was Joseph Illingworth,” Usher said. He was a stiff-presser, someone who treats the cloth after it has been dyed in the dye works.

At some point, she explained, he went to Belgium where his eldest sons, John and Henry, were born, but

Margaret Usher of Rastrick, England, has shared more than a hundred photos documenting the Illingworths in the Battlefords from the early 20th century. Photo by John Cairns

returned to Bradford where he lived for the rest of his life.

It was around 1904 that son John and his wife Sarah Elizabeth came to Canada from England, first to Toronto and then to North Battleford.

John had worked as a shoemaker and boot maker in Bradford, but in Canada he obtained a contract with the North West Mounted Police to supply boots for the members and harnesses for their horses. Illingworth also took a quarter section

of land near the city.

Those early years in the area were documented in photographs, which stayed in the family and ended up in the possession of Margaret’s sister.

A couple of years ago her sister went into residen-

tial care. The family was in the process of clearing the house when they came across a big box of items.

“I found in amongst my sister’s things some photographs in an album that had been sent by his (John Illingworth’s) wife to my aunt, which show the farm, the land being cleared from 1906. I only found this a few months ago now.”

She had known John Illingworth had gone out to Canada, but hadn’t really known where. But she was able to identify the photos as being from North Battleford and that piqued her interest even more.

Usher was interested in genealogy and thought it was a great opportunity to find out more about her family tree.

“I made inquiries because it seemed to me that it would be very interesting to find out more about this section of the family.”

She decided to come to Canada, “using the benefit of Air Miles,” and was in North Battleford for several days this past week.

Among her visits was to Saskatchewan Hospital on the weekend where she met other Illingworth family members and was able to get some vital information.

“I’ve met a huge number of the Illingworth family who are still here,” she said.

She also dropped by the city archives where, on Monday, she shared the photos with archivist Tammy Donahue Buziak and a number of City of North Battleford Historic Archives volunteers. Mayor Ian Hamilton was among those on hand to see the photos.

All were in disbelief that these rare photos documenting the early history of the Illingworths in the Battlefords had come from, of all places, England.

In total, about 140 images were provided to the city archives that document the history of the Illingworth family in the area.

It included pictures of the original homestead of the Illingworth seed farm from as far back as 1906, and also included were pictures from Cochin and from Whitewood Lake.

Continued from Page 8 Now the photos have been scanned into the archives located at Don Ross Centre, and are now part of the city’s historical record.

Moreover, Usher was able to learn a great deal about the Illingworth family.

Usher had brought along a huge sheet — a working document — with names of family members listed on it as part of a huge family tree, and was able to fill in even more of the gaps with new information.

A family friend of the Illingworths, Leola Macdonald, brought in some photos as well including many with the Illingworths. Usher

learned a wealth of information about the family.

“Now I’ve collected a lot more information, which I’ll take home,” Usher said.

One of the relatives she met was Alice (Illingworth) Grove from North Battleford, a distant cousin who shares the same great-grandparent.

Grove was keenly interested in the family tree information that Usher had put together and marveled at the thought of having a relative from England that she could possibly go to see.

“I never knew I had relatives over in England that I can really put a name to now, it’s just mindboggling,”

said Grove, who added “it’s such a big world, but we’re so close together.”

Usher’s project is still a work in progress, but now she has even more knowledge of the stories behind each of the names.

“Family trees are fun but it’s no good limiting them to births, marriages and deaths,” said Usher.

“You have to round out the stories about what they did, how they dealt with the tribulations that come with life as well as the exciting parts. And this, meeting people and hearing their stories achieves that purpose.

It’s been a fantastic experience.”

Universal Child Care Benefit

A walk across western Canada to raise awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder launched May 1 is due to arrive in North Battleford Monday, May 11.

Kate MacEachern, who embarked on The Long Walk Home from Nipawin, plans to complete a 3,000 kilometre walk across three provinces over the course of three months.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 70 will be hosting MacEachern Monday when she arrives. She’s expected about 6 p.m., so a meet and greet will begin at the Legion at 5 p.m.

The Canadian Legion of Riders on their motorcycles will escort her down 100th Street to the Legion building as she arrives.

The public is welcome to turn out to meet MacEachern, and there will be a bar-

becue at which a meal will be available for a donation to MacEachern’s cause.

MacEachern herself lives with PTSD after having suffered life-threatening injuries while a member of the mounted troop of the Lord Strathcona’s horse regiment.

Her walk, on which she carries a 45-pound rucksack, is one of raising funds and awareness of the stigma and lack of support for those with PTSD. She went on her first Long Walk Home in 2012 from Gagetown, N.B. to Antigonish, N.S., which took 19 days.

The next year she walked 1,876 kilometres from Cape Breton, N.S., to Ottawa, Ont. Before starting her 2015 journey, she headed to Government House in Regina to meet Lt. Gov. Vaughn Solomon Schofield for an official welcome. Stops on her tour, prior to North Battleford, are

From North Battleford, she will head off May 12 to Bresaylor, Maidstone, Marshall and Lloydminster as she continues her journey to her final destination of Chilliwack, B.C. Donations will go to four organizations: the Nash Project (PTSD service dog provider to Saskatchewan Legions’ PAWS for Veterans), PAWS Fur Thought (PTSD service dog provider to Nova Scotia Legion Command), Alpha K9 (PTSD service dog provider to Canadian and American veterans and first responders) and also the Wounded Warriors Weekend Foundation, which hosts the annual weekend event this year in Chilliwack.

Leroux sentence extended to eight years Staff

Convicted sex offender Paul Leroux’s sentence has been extended to eight years from the original three.

That is the result of the decision of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal after the Crown successfully appealed the sentence handed down to Leroux in Battleford Queen’s Bench Court in 2013.

Leroux had previously been convicted of eight counts of indecent assault and two counts of gross indecency in connection to several incidents involving teenage students at Beauval Indian Residential School in the 1960s.

During sentencing submissions in that trial, one in which Leroux had defended himself, Crown prosecutor Mitch Piche had argued for

an 11-year sentence.

But in December 2013, trial judge Murray Acton’s sentence amounted to a total of three years on all the charges.

At the time Piche made clear the sentence was “too low under the circumstances.” Victims who heard the sentence in court were upset with the ruling.

In a unanimous ruling May 4, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal sided with the Crown’s call for a longer sentence, and determined eight years was a “fit and proper sentence.” Leroux, who was already out on parole for the crimes, was given two days to turn himself in.

Notably, the sentence was extended even though the appeals court quashed one of the eight indecent assault convictions at the same time.

In his written decision, Justice J.A. Caldwell stated the trial judge “appears to

have misapprehended testimony” of two of the victims in that instance. All other convictions, however, were upheld.

As for sentencing, the high court completely took apart Acton’s original ruling. There was no shortage of items the Court of Appeal took issue with in a 48-page decision.

The appeals court especially took issue with the trial judge’s application of the “totality” principle. This is used to determine a “fit and proper sentence” in instances where someone is convicted of multiple offences, so that a sentence would not be unduly crushing or harsh.

In this case the totality principle was applied, but the appeal court noted the trial judge “summarily reduced it to the length of the longest of the consecutive sentences imposed, namely, three years’ imprisonment.”

Caldwell’s ruling made clear a longer sentence was available under s.718.1 of the Criminal Code.

“Section 718.1 demands, because it is the fundamental principle of sentencing,

that a sentencing judge craft a cumulative sentence that addresses the moral culpability of the offender and the gravity of the offences in the particular circumstances before the sentencing judge.

In this way, a cumulative sentence may yet exceed the most serious of the individual sentences imposed— without offending the totality principle — if it remains a proportionate reflection of the gravity of the offences and the moral culpability of the offender in committing them,” he stated.

“For these reasons, I find the judge erred in his approach and consideration of the totality principle in the circumstances of this case.”

The appeals court then turned to the issue of sentence and came up with an overall sentence of eight years.

“Having considered all of this, and having particular regard for the many aggravating and few mitigating circumstances of this matter, I find that a cumulative sentence of eight years imprisonment is proportionate to the gravity of the offences

committed by Mr. Leroux and his moral culpability in committing them.

“This sentence is fit because it recognizes the seriousness of the offences, the ages of the victims, the repeated nature of the offences, the multiplicity of victims, the residential school context in which the offences were committed, the effects of the offences on the victims, the abuse of a position of trust in relation to the victims, the absence of remorse, among other aggravating circumstances; and it is crafted to achieve the primary objectives of denouncing Mr. Leroux’s unlawful conduct and deterring Mr. Leroux and other persons from committing offences of this nature.

“The sentence also satisfies the principle of parity as it is similar to sentences imposed on similar offenders for similar offences committed in similar circumstances.

The sentence is fit because it also responds to Mr. Leroux’s advancing age and his personal circumstances in mitigation of its cumulative duration.”

Trafficking charges laid Staff A 27-year-old North Battleford woman has been charged with trafficking in cocaine after a search warrant was executed on a residence on Trudeau Street Sunday.

Tanya Arcand was arrested, but has been

released from custody for a first appearance in North Battleford Provincial Court June 29.

The Battlefords RCMP Detachment, Battlefords General Investigation Section and Battlefords Police Dog Services were involved in the search.

Communication needed among arts groups ‘Until everyone pulls together, it is always going to be disjointed.’

— Bill Samborski

By Jayne Foster “There’s a lot to be proud of,” said a Saskatchewan Arts Alliance representative about a list of arts and cultural activities, groups and venues listed by participants in a recent community forum.

Jessica Riess, communications and outreach officer, and research officer Dr. Ian McWilliams hosted a forum at the Chapel Gallery April 28, saying there is more going on in the Battlefords than many other communities.

However, it was made clear by the group attending

that the community needs more communication between its various groups, not just in the arts but amongst charitable groups as well, to avoid competing with one another for funds and audiences. They would like to see more cross promotion and collaboration.

Along with artists and arts advocates, the City of North Battleford’s leisure services manager, Bill Samborski, attended the forum. He said he doesn’t see a central sharing of information happening until the community starts pulling together for the common good of the arts.

“Until everyone pulls together, it is always going to be disjointed,” he said.

With so much going on, if there was a community guild or central event-staging, event-planning, strategizing body, this community would be so much father ahead than others, said Samborski.

Arts educator Sherron Burns, one of the participants, said she has sat at many tables where the idea has been discussed.

“But it just hasn’t happened,” she said. “That doesn’t mean it can’t happen.”

Participants suggested it may be time for the local

arts council to take on a different role.

Burns also said it may be time to revisit the idea of the City of North Battleford having a cultural policy to deal with how the City interacts and creates financial partnerships with artists in the city.

Despite concerns about communication, McWilliams was upbeat.

“To have so many events going on in a community that it’s tough to schedule around is not a terrible problem to have,” McWilliams.

“There are some communities that have nothing going on. So this is great!”

The word out of a recent community forum in North Battleford hosted by the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance is that arts advocacy should be gearing up for upcoming federal and provincial elections.

Jessica Riess, communications and outreach officer, speaking at the forum held at the Chapel Gallery April 28, noted a federal election is scheduled for the fall of this year and a provincial election is expected in spring.

An election is a chance to

talk with candidates about why the arts matter, she said.

The SAA’s new advocacy hub, an online tool of the organization’s website at www.artsalliance.sk.ca, includes talking points to use in advocacy discussions or activities.

Reiss pointed out their website also offers numerous resources to artists and those interested in the arts.

The community forum was also an opportunity to present results from the Saskatchewan Partnership

for Arts Research project’s first comprehensive survey of Saskatchewan artists. The survey is part of SPAR’s Arts Ecology Project, a fouryear study of the provincial arts ecology.

Results were presented

by Dr. Ian McWilliams, research officer for SAA and a member of the SPAR research team, a multidisciplinary group involving individuals from the universities of Regina and Saskatchewan and the University of Melbourne.

Artists were asked about their workweeks. Although artists made it clear there was considerable variation in the allocation of their work time from week to week, their responses translated into an average workweek of 48.5 hours. Their week involved 24.5 hours devoted to their creative practice, eight hours of teaching or mentorship in a creative discipline and 16 hours working outside their creative practice.

It was also found artist respondents were both older

and more highly educated than the Saskatchewan population as a whole. Nearly 47 per cent were 55 and over.

Only 18 per cent were below 35. In comparison, 2011 census data for Saskatchewan reports people 55 years of age and over represent just 35 per cent of the population 18 and over while those 1834 comprise 30 per cent.

In the area of income, although 97 per cent had received income from their creative work, 43 per cent reported an average annual

Staff Reporter

Arts advocates encouraged to gear up for elections income from their art practice over the past two years of less than $5,000. Only 10 per cent earned more than $40,000 a year from their art practice. Overall, the data translates into an average artist income from their creative work of only $15,380.

When including income derived from other types of employment outside the arts and culture, their overall gross income in 2013 rises to an average of $44,335.50.

SPAR will be doing another survey this fall.

Living Sky School Division Board Board tours tours NBCHS NBCHS renos renos Photos by Jayne Foster

New Carpentry Shop A tour last week by Living Sky School Division board and staff members of the ongoing renovations at North Battleford Comprehensive High School in North Battleford gave an overview of the work being done to accommodate middle years students at the high school without adding to the overall footprint of the school.

Grade 8 classes began attending NBCHS in 2013 and Grade 7 students will begin attending this coming September.

The tour started with a visit to the new junior carpentry shop, a large space made out of a previous smaller carpentry shop and an area used by division trades staff prior to the expansion of the division’s central office, to which all the trades staff have been relocated. NBCHS Principal Lyndon Heinemann explains how the shop will be used.

Above, a space formerly containing student shop space, and division trades space is being transformed into a second gymnasium for the school, with the senior construction shop to be re-established and at the south end.

Extensive work has been done to reinforce the foundation and before it is complete the roof will be lifted as well. It is hoped the gym will be ready for the next school year, or soon after the school year starts.

Left, site manager Trevor Dickson of Cormode and Dickson, the reno projects general contractor helps fill in the details for the group on tour. Other areas in the school being renovated include a computer drafting lab and other existing classroom spaces.

Right, just outside the shop on the east side of the school, facilities manager Brian Bossaer indicates the huge particle collectors that keep the air clear in both the carpentry area and the next door machine shop.

Albers gets the call from Blue Jays for one day

By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter

North Battleford’s own Andrew Albers got the call to the Big Leagues from the Toronto Blue Jays Friday morning, and joined the team in Cleveland for the

opening game of their threegame series against the Indians.

It was a short stay, however.

Albers was optioned back to AAA Buffalo at the conclusion of the game, a 9-4 loss. He did get into the

game in the bottom of the fifth inning after Jays starter Mark Buehrle was pulled.

“I’d like to have one pitch back,” Albers said of his outing Friday night from Durham, NC. “Unfortunately I came in, made a bad 0-1 pitch and

Unity native gets golf scholarship Submitted Justin Wood, who saw massive success in his college golf aspirations with the Lethbridge College Kodiaks, has accepted a spot on the Division II golf team at the University of Montevallo in Alabama.

“I am really excited to play tough courses against amazing players,” said Wood. “I just feel more motivated than ever to play well in the summer and be ready to complete at the highest level this far. It’s been a dream of mine to play collegiate golf and now it’s actually happening, it’s pretty surreal.”

Justin has been awarded a scholarship with the University of Montevallo after he convocated from Lethbridge College with a business administration degree and a major in marketing.

He says he looks forward to a longer golf season.

with family, friends, former classmates and teachers will be watching the continuation of Justin’s golf career.

gave up a three-run homer to the first guy I faced. Just have to be better than that early on but other than that it was a good outing. It’s just hard to feel good about it after giving up a three-run home run.”

Albers pitched 2.2 innings, giving up one hit and two walks.

He says while he was hoping to be called up to the Majors sooner rather than later, he wasn’t expecting it this early in the season.

“I was actually pleasantly surprised by it,” he said.

“There’s a lot of guys down here throwing well and up there they’re having some troubles just getting innings.”

He barely had time to process the fact he was being called up.

“It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I got a call at night and was on the road early in the morning,” he said.

While he would have liked to spend more than one

day with the Blue Jays, it’s out of his control.

“I wasn’t really sure what the deal was going to be,” he admitted. “They told me they were going to use me out of the bullpen. If the game went a little bit different I might have been up there for a few more days. I threw an extended amount of innings and they needed someone fresh the next day so that’s just part of the deal.”

Despite meeting his Blue Jays teammates during spring training, he says he tries to tread lightly in the club house.

“You just try to fit in and keep your nose clean,” he said. “You don’t want to be the loud guy right off the bat when you don’t know the guys very well. You just get yourself ready to play and everyone respects that.”

Albers says he didn’t receive any advice when he was told he was being sent back to Buffalo, but he knows what the situation is.

“There’s possibilities

of being called up in the future. It’ll all depend on how the season goes and how healthy guys are. That’s what it comes down to when you’re in AAA, it depends on whether or not you’re fresh when they need a guy and things of that nature,” he said.

As for his season with the Buffalo Bisons, Albers says while the wins and losses don’t look so good, he feels comfortable with the way things are going.

“I’ve been throwing well.

Unfortunately the results haven’t quite been there as far as wins, but I feel good about most of my outings and I feel like I’m throwing the ball pretty well.

Hopefully I can continue to build on the success I’ve had early and just keep it going,” he said.

Albers has a 1-4 record with Buffalo so far, but his ERA is just 2.86. He pitched Tuesday night against the Bulls, going five innings giving up one run.

Oilers, Flames made wrong decision with top prospects When an NHL team has an 18-or 19-year-old prospect from major junior that they’re not sure is ready for the NHL or not, they can play them in nine games without using up a year of their entry-level contract.

After those nine games, they have to decide to keep them in the NHL, or send them back to junior.

Players must be 20 years old by Dec. 31 to play in the American Hockey League.

Some teams are more cautious than others, like the St. Louis Blues who twice sent defenceman Alex Pietrangelo back to the Ontario Hockey League after giving him eight games in 2008-09 (one assist) and nine games in 2009-10 (one goal, one assist).

Pietrangelo was a regular the following year, and had a phenomenal rookie season scoring 11 goals with 32 assists in 2010-11.

Other teams are not so patient, like the now-defunct Atlanta Thrashers who kept Alexander Burmistrov in the NHL after drafting him eighth overall in 2010. He scored just six goals and

14 assists in 74 games, and played 120 more NHL games before bolting home to Russia to play in the KHL. Then there are teams like the Edmonton Oilers who, more often than not in recent years, have had a draft pick high enough to warrant keeping their top prospect in the NHL. In 2010 they drafted Taylor Hall, who was coming off back-to-back Memorial Cup MVP’s, first overall and kept him with the team all season. He scored 22 goals and added 20 assists.

In 2011 they had the first overall pick again, drafting Ryan-Nugent Hopkins who had 18 goals and 34 assists for the Oilers that season.

RADISSON ANTIQUES & GENERAL STORE Open 7 Days A Week

In 2012 they once again had the first pick, and drafted Nail Yakupov who put up 17 goals and 14 assists in the 48-game shortened season.

In 2013 they made the right decision with defenceman Darnell Nurse, sending him back to junior for two years. He could start next season on the Oilers blueline.

But this year, they messed up with Leon Draisaitl. After his first nine NHL games, in which he recorded a goal and two assists, they elected to keep him with the team to serve as the third-line centre.

He averaged around 11 minutes of ice time a night, a far cry from being the top line centre for his junior team, the Prince Albert Raiders.

Dec. 31 he played his last NHL game of the season, and was returned to the WHL after his WHL rights were traded from PA to Kelowna.

It’s a good thing they sent him back before he hit the

40-game mark, because then he would be one year closer to unrestricted free agency.

In total, he played 37 games with the Oilers this season scoring twice and adding seven assists.

The Oilers were a bad team with and without Draisaitl in the lineup. You could argue keeping him for an extra 28 games helped him adjust more to the NHL game, but in my opinion there was absolutely no need to keep him past the ninegame mark.

Now instead of keeping him on his entry-level contract until 2017-18, they’ll have to re-sign him after the 2016-17 season. Could be insignificant, could be big. All I know is having a player of his potential under contract as cheap as can be for three seasons is better than two.

The Calgary Flames committed the same “crime” when they announced Sam Bennett would play his 10th NHL game Tuesday night in game three of the Flames second round series against the Anaheim Ducks.

Bennett had shoulder surgery at the start of the season, and was out of action until late in the year.

He was drafted right after Draisaitl, with the fourth overall pick in the 2014 draft.

The Flames sent him back to his junior team in Kingston, Ont. after recovering from surgery, where he played 15 games between the regular season and playoffs, recording 27 points.

After the Frontenacs were eliminated, the Flames recalled him to the big club and he played his first NHL game in the regular season, recording an assist. He has played in all nine playoff games for the Flames since then, and has played ex-

tremely well, scoring three times and adding an assist.

While the Flames won Tuesday to now trail just 2-1 in the series, in my mind they don’t stand a chance to win. Is keeping Bennett in the lineup for an extra two or three games worth burning a year off his entry-level contract?

Some people say yes, because the Flames want to prove they’re not going to give up against Anaheim, or they don’t want Bennett to be sour about being held out of the lineup for contract reasons.

Those people seem to think Bennett (or his agent more likely) would be furious at the notion and would leave Calgary as soon as he hit unrestricted free agency.

I say no, because when the Flames lose to the Ducks they will have given up the entire 2017-18 season at a bargain rate for Bennett for a few “meaningless” playoff games.

Players learn quickly that professional sports are a business. Look at the Chicago Cubs, they have the biggest prospect in recent years in Kris Bryant now on their team.

One year of Major League service time is being on an MLB roster for 172 days.

So instead of keeping Bryant on the team after spring training, they sent him to the minors for 12 days, and then called him back up so he’ll be on the roster for 171 days and they keep control of him for an entire extra season.

Would having him on the roster for an extra 10 games be worth losing an entire year of control? Absolutely not.

Bryant is batting nearly .300 so far in the Majors, and the Cubs got off to a great start without him on

the team. Is it shady? Perhaps, but that’s the nature of business.

By the way, Bryant was drafted in the 18th round in 2010 by the Toronto Blue Jays, but decided not to sign.

As if Blue Jays fans, including myself, needed another reason to cry.

If Bennett continues to develop the way he has this year, he could be putting up 60 or 70 points in 201617 when his contract is up.

Then the Flames will have to re-sign him for a boatload of money compared to what he should be making on his rookie contract.

There are a few other players the Flames will have to re-sign for the 2016-17 season that are going to cost them big time dollars.

Sean Monahan is the future captain of the Flames, he’s going to cost a few million. Mark Giordano is the current captain, he’ll be turning 33 when the 2016-17 season starts and he’s also going to cost $4-5-million.

Jiri Hudler is making $4 million next season and will be 32 to begin 2016-17. If the Flames keep him, he’s going to cost the same. Johnny Gaudreau is probably going to win the Calder Trophy as top rookie this year and could cost a few million for 2016-17. Kris Russell is a cyborg sent back from the future to block shots and will probably cost over $3 million to keep.

The Flames will be spending a lot of money in the 2016 offseason and while Bennett will still be under his rookie contract for that year, chances are they’ll have to open up the chequebook for him during the summer of 2017 when they wouldn’t have to if they just held him out of the lineup for a few games.

The Saskatoon Outlaws baseball teams will be inducted into the Team Category of the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame Saturday, Aug. 15, in Battleford.

The Outlaws were an original member of the Saskatoon Senior Baseball League in 1980. After 33 years the Outlaws are the only original member still playing in this league. The team, then called the Bad News Outlaws, got off to an inauspicious start as their wins were few and far between.

In the province they were known as the “Tournament Team”. If there was a tournament or sports day and the town needed an extra ball team to complete the draw, the Outlaws were often asked to compete, including many in the Coteau Senior Baseball League.

As the years went by, and with the addition of new players and the maturing of the founding players, the Outlaws began to improve, then became a force to be reckoned with. It took eight long years for the Outlaws to go from last to first place.

It took 17 years for the Outlaws to reach the highest point in their history, when in 1997 the team captured what is considered to be the Triple Crown. That year they took the Saskatoon Senior Baseball League Championship, the Provincial Title and the Western Canadian Title in Regina.

The Outlaws went on to capture the Provincial Senior Title for 10 consecutive years from 1997 to 2006, and also two Western titles and four second place finishes. One more Provincial Title was added in 2010.

The 1997 team was the only Outlaws team to win the Triple Crown.

That Outlaws team consisted of a majority of veterans sprinkled with several younger players that created the karma that propelled

that team to their wins.

The provincial championship team gave up five runs in five games. Solid pitching and defense, as well as clutch hitting, enabled the team to advance to the Westerns in Regina. For

these Western Canadians the Outlaws were able to pick up a 35-year-old pitcher and a 38-year-old outfielder and coach. It turned out to be the right mixture as they were able to win in Regina, against a talented pool of

teams from Western Canada, including the Regina Canadians who were allowed to pick up a lot of players for the championship as the host team.

Some teams after 1997 might have had as good or better talent, but, according to Pete Fylyma, the team player-manager for 28 years, the mixture of veterans and young players resulted in the karma necessary to win the Triple Crown.

Dance theatre to be presented at The Gog

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

Dance artists and educator Ashley Johnson is well known in the Battlefords for working with school children and encouraging adult interest in contemporary dance, and this Saturday she will be performing at The Gog. On the program for the evening is a dance-theatre collaboration with long-time friend Nicole Schafenacker, titled Sisters in the Wild. It’s a story of friendship, history and identity, exploring through movement and text what occurs in moments of intersection and connection.

“We are so excited to be presenting it in North Battleford just in time for spring,” say the two artists who have

been friends since they were 12 years old. “Sisters in the Wild works lots of images of flowers and dirt and new beginning and old friendship.”

Presenting dance theatre in a house concert is an exciting challenge, says Johnson, known to have created work in trees, parking lots, banks and abandoned buildings.

Johnson says a presentation such as Sisters in the Wild is a good way to introduce or reintroduce dance and theatre to an audience as a more visual experience than the purely musical performances most people are more familiar with.

Johnson’s collaborator, Schafenacker, is an Edmonton writer, performer, yoga instructor and medical humanities researcher. She

has shown original work in theatre and dance festivals throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan. This summer she will participate in the Citadel Theatre’s Playwright’s Forum where she will be writing her fifth play to date.

Johnson and Schafenacker met as students of the same school in a small Alberta town. New to town, eighth grade Johnson found herself “horribly lost” (she admits getting lost is a common occurrence for her even today) and Schafenacker, who lived across the street, was assigned to see she made it to and from school.

At the time, they weren’t exactly happy with the arrangement, but eventually they came to realize they shared an interest in taking their art and their work outside the standard realms of each.

Due to their long association, Sisters in the Wild is in some ways autobiographical of their friendship, says Johnson.

In addition to Sisters in the Wild, Saturday evening at The Gog will also feature solo work by Johnson and Schafenacker as well as guest artists Erica Jacks and Kelly Van Damme of Saskatoon.

Johnson currently works between Saskatchewan and

Ashley Johnson

Nicole Schafenacker

Alberta. She has a particular interest in dance education and how we integrate art practice into daily life.

She was a dancer in residence with Living Sky School Division for three years, where her focus was Joyful Learning, why we dance, how we dance and when we dance, and has been back to the Battlefords several times for additional engagement in the schools.

Her most recent project looked at increasing teacher confidence and shifting environments in pre-kindergarten classrooms for more accessibility to daily movement.

Johnson has a diploma in dance from Grant MacEwan College of Edmonton as well

as a bachelor of arts degree in dance from University of Calgary. In 2007, she followed modern dance pioneer and Mitzvah Technique teacher Amelia Itcush to Davidson, where she certified as a Mitzvah Technique and Itcush Method teacher.

In 2009, she embarked on a mentorship with Emilie Conrad, the founder of the Continuum Movement.

She continues to pursue the connection between somatic movement, the creative impulse and dance.

Johnson believes the creation and production of new and original work derives from the landscape we inhabit. Her work as a dance artist focuses on sitespecific creation in a variety

of unusual settings. She believes dance happens everywhere.

Friday’s hostess will be Kelly Waters, owner of The Gog. “Interest was extremely high last time Ashley was at The Gog, though I am known for squeezing in a few more last minute,” says Waters. “There is a risk of me having to declare the show sold out this time.”

Check with Waters to see if there is room for you by emailing waterskelly@hotmail.com or by texting 306481-3656.

Admission is $20 with all admission going directly to the artists. Waters provides hors d’oeuvres and is happy to accept donations to help offset the cost of food and refreshment.

The Gog is located at 1391-105th St., North Battleford. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show goes at 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, in a day-long workshop with facilitators Johnson and Schafenacker, participants will find out how use the media of theater, dance and writing to unearth their stories – “Write it, dance it, speak it.”

The workshop is for all levels, from age 14 up. No dance or theater experience is required, just the willingness to be creative.

Nurses Week May 6 - 12, 2015

Celebrating the dedication and achievements of nurses

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter There are more than 408,000 regulated nurses in Canada, the largest of any health provider group.

They could be considered the backbone of the country’s health system.

In 1971, the International Council of Nurses designated May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday, as International Nurses’ Day. In 1985, in recognition of the dedication and achievements of the nursing profession, the Canadian minister of health proclaimed the second week of May as National Nursing Week in Canada.

This year’s Canadian Nurses Association theme, Nurses: With you every step of the way, is meant to emphasize how important nurses are in our lives — at every age, in all health situations, for all Canadians.

For Brittany Loranger, a registered nurse working in the Intensive Care Unit of Battlefords Union Hospital, it’s her dream come true.

“I always wanted to be a nurse.”

She was inspired by her aunt, who was a dialysis nurse. She was inspired especially after doing a work experience with her during high school.

She has been at BUH for four years, her first position. She enjoys working in ICU so much she doesn’t envision working anywhere else.

Originally from Southey, she trained at the University of Saskatchewan then started her career in North Battleford.

“I came here as a grad nurse, did my orientation, and I’ve been here ever

since,” says Loranger.

Working in ICU is gratifying, she says, in knowing she is making a difference in people’s lives.

ICU, where the critically ill are cared for, is a busy place, and Loranger says there is an adrenalin rush to working there.

“Working here, you have to like that, because there’s so much excitement going on, figuring out the pieces of the puzzle with each patient, always learning, always something new to add to your knowledge,” she says.

Years from how, she’ll probably still be there.

“I can’t imagine working anywhere else in the hospital,” says Loranger. “I like ICU.” Sharon Boskill is a retired registered nurse who now works casual shifts in the emergency room and in ICU, where she worked for some 25 years.

“I came especially to this unit because I just wanted to be where I could advance my nursing career and do more technical things,” says Boskill. “It’s a good area to come to work with very ill people.”

Boskills says, “We’ve had a really good group of staff here, good physicians and we’ve done some good things here.”

She is also excited to see young nurses like Loranger entering the profession.

“It’s nice to see a whole new generation of young nurses coming up, so smart and so good in this field,” says Boskill. “It’s really good to see that.”

She believes in the importance of the ICU, especially being able to care for the really ill in their own

community. Not everyone gets better, but the staff do the best for them at the highest level they can, she says.

The ICU staff isn’t limited to working in the unit.

“It’s an intensive area and all the staff in here respond to all problems in the hospital where there are ill patients or critical patients, whether it’s in the ER or on the ward,” says Boskill. “The staff have to answer – all times of day or night – emergency situations and know how to help and deal with them.”

Loranger adds, “A lot of people rely on us.”

Pat McWatters, nurse manager of BUH ICU, says, “We deal with the

most critical patients who don’t always have a positive outcome … and it’s gratifying for the nurses to know we can comfort the patients and the families in those very critical moments that don’t always turn out the way everybody wants.”

She sees the ICU staff as being able to comfort in more ways that one, depending on which way the situation goes.

Loranger and Boskill are seeing ICU nurses gaining new knowledge and skills through McWatters’ initiative to get involved with an advanced critical care education program.

mous nurse of all, Florence Nightingale.

Nightingale is best known around the world as the “Lady with the Lamp” who nursed British soldiers during the Crimean War and turned nursing into a profession.

She was also an activist, social theorist and author whose advocacy to improve health and sanitation for British Army soldiers, and writings on hospital planning and organization laid the foundation for nursing’s emphasis on social determinants of health today.

to get funded here in the last couple of years to enhance the knowledge of all the staff here in ICU,” says McWatters.

The program has caught on across the whole province, she says, so that the standard of ICU care will be the same across Saskatchewan.

About 75 per cent of the BUH ICU staff has completed the course, and she credits them for their dedication.

“They are taking the course, then are working full time and dealing with families and home life, so it’s very intense.”

BUH’s ICU nurses are following in the footsteps of perhaps the most fa-

The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region is in need of caring, compassionate and committed volunteers to fill the following service positions: Parent-Tot Program – Spiritwood and District Health Complex: mothers and/or fathers along with their young children may visit residents on a one-toone basis or in small groups.

Parents are responsible for

their children at all times.

Shifts: Flexible, once or twice per week.

Entertainment – Evergreen Health Centre, Leoville: volunteer performers (musicians, magicians, actors) share their talents with residents in long-term care.

Other volunteers assist by inviting residents to a specific area for entertainment, parties and sing-a-longs and assist with snacks and lunches.

“On call” volunteers – Hafford Special Care Home: Extra volunteers are

often needed for the longterm care residents on an “on-call” basis to assist with outings, parties, social gatherings, shopping trips and taking residents to appointments.

Contact the PAPHR Volunteer Services Department at 306-765-6010, by email at volunteers@paphr.sk.ca or on the web at www.princealbertparklandhealth. com. Those interested can also contact the recreation staff in the PAPHR longterm care facility closest to them.

port of his Episcopal work.

Monsignor Luzney explains, “His resignation was forced by the powers that were. Returning to Lviv, he assisted in the Ecclesiastical Metropolitan Archeparchy, consisting of over one million faithful. He will be remembered particularly for his spiritual and manual assistance in the rebuilding of the Shrine of Zarvanytsja, the Lourdes of Ukraine, ravaged by the First World War.”

Monsignor Luzney says, relating to the Brandon/ Edmonton Deacons in the original submission, “let it be known that there were only ‘transitional deacons,’ stepping stones to the priesthood. And the Vineyards, Brandon/Yorkton were tilled by the Redemptorists, while Basilian priests worked in Edmonton/Mundare. In fact, until 1948 the Ukrainians in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia were al-

most totally under the spiritual care of the Basilians.”

Relating to the June 30, 2013 event in the original story, the event was to recognize the establishment of the 100th Ukrainian Catholic Hierarchy of Canada, year 2012, sponsored by the then MSSS. Delays in construction postponed the celebration.

A reference to a Sunday, Oct. 5 event is also incorrect.

Ladies of the area, keep Saturday, May 2 open. This is the annual Ladies’ Night Out date and the committee is ensuring a good time. Entertainment will be Robyn Kelly and an Elvis impersonator.

The theme is “Little Italy” and the evening food will be Italian cuisine. Tickets are available at Kim’s Service and Tru Hardware in St. Walburg.

There are also tickets on sale for a beautiful pendant worth $800 to be drawn for on that night.

The finance committee

was commended for auditing the books.

The district meeting was held in St. Walburg April 19 with 34 attending from St. Walburg, Cut Knife and North Battleford. Cut Knife presented the travelling gavel to St. Walburg that day.

At the May meeting, new officers will be installed for the 2015-16 year.

The lodge sends out get well wishes to Maryanne Kurjata and Olive Schneider, who are struggling with health issues.

Next meeting is May 11 at 8 p.m. in the Elks Hall.

Lodge supports youth activities, family in need

Since last reporting, St. Walburg Canadian Royal Purple Society has been active. They helped finance the youth curling bonspiel in town, assisted a family in need, contributed to the Elmhurst Jack Rabbit Ski Club and gave a sizeable amount to the Brain Injury Appeal.

On another note, they have lost two members and yet there are still no applications for membership. What can they do to motivate ladies to join? They cannot keep donating if they do not have the manpower for fun-

Saw Palmetto and Prostate Health

T

he prostate is a small walnut size organ located just under the bladder and surrounds the uretha, the tube that carries urine from the bladder. The prostate has a dual function as part of the excretory and reproductive systems. This small gland stays the same size throughout an adult male’s life until the male hormones (androgens), the most predominant of which is testosterone, begin to decline and the prostate begins to grow again. Testosterone levels decline steadily from the man’s fortieth year on, at the rate of about 1% per year.

The most common conditions associated with growth of the prostate is benign prostatic hyperphalia or BPH. As the prostate swells or grows, it begins to press on the urthea and may start acting like a clamp. This can cause the urine flow to decrease, the bladder to become irritated and to contract independently even if it contains only a small amount of fluid. Over time the bladder weakens, the urgency and need to urinate becomes more frequent.

Leakage and only partial emptying of the bladder combines to create many of the symptoms linked to BPH. BPH seldom causes any symptoms before 40 years of age though the majority of men start to feel the effects in their 50’s and approximately 90% of all men will have symptoms in their 70’s and 80’s.

Despite the fact that most men

Registered Nutritional Product Advisor

will suffer the effects of BPH in their lifetime many find it embarrassing and uncomfortable to talk about, even with their doctor. Leaving these and other symptoms unchecked can have an enormous effect on men’s health including decreased quality of life, hampered sexual performance, bladder infections, kidney failure, etc.

The cause of BPH is not well understood, yet it is impossible to naturally decrease the prostate gland to a healthy size through diet and supplementation. Certain herbs and extracts have been found useful in protecting and maintaining a healthy prostate. In Germany and Austria, physicians use plant medicines as the first treatment of choice in 90% of cases of mild to moderate BPH. Prairie Naturals has combined the most effective of these natural remedies in a formula especially developed for men’s health called Prost-Force.

The ingredients in Prost-Force are: • Saw Palmetto berry oil extract - scientific studies have shown that a standardized extract produced increased urinary flow, reduced residual urine and decreased frequency of urination. It has a long history as an aphrodisiac and sexual rejuvenation. It has been used to tone and strengthen the male reproductive system.

• Pygeum Bark extract-which has notable anti-inflammatory action and

Registered Nutritional Product Advisor

is helpful in reducing prostate swelling, also improves the quality and quantity of prostate secretions.

• Lycopene - a Harvard University study on the relationship between lycopene consumption and prostate cancer surmised that men who consumed greater amounts than their counter groups had a significantly lower risk of prostate cancer.

• Stinging Nettle - also a natural anti-inflammatory that prevents the generation of prostaglandins, the body’s inflammatory chemicals, specifically in the prostate. Its effect on hormones, testosterone and the protein leaving more testosterone in its free, sexually active state.

• Vitamin B6 - this is involved in the conversion of hormones as well as metabolism of sex hormones.

• Zinc citrate - half of the male supply of zinc is concentrated in the testicles and prostate gland. It is critical to male sex hormone synthesis and action, sperm formation and mobility and overall prostate function. Research suggests that the high zinc content in the prostate fluid acts as an antibacterial agent to help prevent infection. Zinc deficiencies can result in under-functioning sex gland and enlargement of the prostate gland.

Always check with your health care professional before starting any treatment program.

to the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League of Canada for their 65 years of labour in the parish.

In the account of the celebration published in the Regional Optimist, it was erroneously stated Bishop Budka made his headquarters in the Hafford-Krydor area, however his residence and chancery office were located on 511 Dominion St., Winnipeg, Man. Contrary to comments in the original story, Monsignor Luzney says Bishop Budka was held in highest respect by all of his faithful and by many other immigrants of Canada. On being arrested in Hafford in 1918 on charges of treason that were eventually dropped, his bail ($1,000, not the $100,000 reported in the story) was raised by the parishioners of the Holy Eucharist Church.

This event was not related to the 2013 anniversary of Bishop Budka’s martyrdom.

The Monsignor gave an emotionally stirring homily on the life of Bishop Martyr Nykyta Budka, a partial Moleben to Bishop Martyr Nykyta was celebrated at the end of the Pontifical Divine Liturgy. A brochure on Bishop Budka and his ikon were distributed.

Editor’s Note: The Oct. 9, 2014 issue of the Regional Optimist carried a story titled “Hafford’s close ties to Bishop Budka.” It has been brought to our attention by Monsignor Rudolph Luzney that the story contained a number of errors, so we are hereby publishing excerpts from the Monsignor’s information for the purposes of maintaining an accurate record of history. Monsignor Luzney became a member of the first Ukrainian Catholic Council of the Knights of Columbus, the Sheptytsky Council (named for Metropolitan Andrew Sheptytsky), in 1957, and was a promoter of the Bishop Budka Council No. 5940 for the Ukrainian Catholic membership in Regina in 1966.

Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014, Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Parish in Hafford celebrated the 65th anniversary of the death of Bishop Nykyta Budka, the first bishop for the Ukrainian Catholics of Canada, 1912-1928.

Sometimes, it’s best to have a broken hand Ed, my neighbour next door, has developed a grin that will not quit. My neighbour finds it harder to keep from whistling a happy tune every time he sees me.

His relief that we are moving grows as he watches me packing and sorting in a genuine moving mode. I told Ed that I could use a hand to move a treadmill and sofa for our garage sale.

Ed informed me that when others want help JOIN THE CONVERSATION To comment on this story and others, go to www.newsoptimist.ca

lifting and carrying, he always has a broken hand.

According to my neighbour, unless you let people know your helping hand is broken they will ask you to help them with anything and everything.

Ed told me the other day that he no longer needs to be nice to me because we are moving.

I told him it could come back to haunt him.

My neighbour is planning to visit us in British Columbia for some salmon fishing and hunting there.

I may not be able to recognize him when he comes to visit. Ed isn’t worried as he is certain I can never forget him.

eighbourly Advice According to Ed

By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca me it is my Christian duty to treat him with respect and hospitality. It shouldn’t matter if he wasn’t nice or didn’t help me. I need to turn a welcoming cheek to him in British Columbia.

It is true that when you are in need of help packing, there may not be a lineup of people willing

to help you lift and carry.

Sometimes, when you need an encouraging word or two, there is no one to offer it.

Asking for help or needing help is no guarantee you will receive it.

It has been my experience most folks are hesitant to lift up their hands in

prayer for you even when you ask for prayers.

A significant number of Christians will not share the word of God with others in need of it. Jesus was quick to point out those who have the opportunity to help others may refuse to do so.

A man was attacked by robbers and left badly injured beside the road. Two men passed the injured man by without giving him any help.

Christians are called to love. Our love means to deal with others as Jesus has dealt with us in love.

As broken sinners Jesus acted to save us and give us forgiveness for our sins before God.

We also face those who need our help. Will we help them? We often think in terms of helping those who have helped us. We act with the motive of what is in it for us. We get stuck on why should I help and who should I help?

Jesus said, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbours. If you do they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Maymont Central School News

Snakes recess time amusement for students

By MCS Staff MAYMONT — The snow around the school has melted and has been replaced by gopher holes and many garter snakes. Students are enjoying running after them and having some run away from them. One snake was even transported to Radisson and has become a new household pet.

Several notable archery results from provincials in Avonlea were announced.

Tyson Wawryk was 21st out of 415 archers. Conner Rothenburger was 53rd out of the 415 shooters and Dakota Warkentine placed a very respectable 113th.

Allison Wawryk, Grade 4, placed sixth out of the 31 Grade 4 girls who attended. Brooke Ferris, Grade 6, ranked 20th out of the 49 Grade 6 girls.

Congratulations to all the archers who participated. For many of the students this was their first experience with a bow and arrow.

Two members of the Royal Purple came to the school last Monday to present the winners of the poster and video contest.

The school entered 40 posters and one video around the theme of “Keeping the Brain Healthy.”

The winners from Grade 1 were: first, Anneka Harder; second, Michael Redmond; and third, Kara Combres.

Grade 2 winners were: first, Sienna Lake; second, David Redmond; and third, Estefani Rodriguez.

In Grade 3, the winners were: first, Emily Stotz; second, Raylene Rothenburger; and third, Riley Montgrand.

Grade 4 winners were: first, Allison Wawryk; second, Paige Harris; and third, Conner Oram.

Grade 5 winners were: first, Cadence Lake; and second, Brodie Gray. There was a tie for third between Tyler Klassen and Brian Healey.

Audrey Friesen in Grade 10 won first prize with her video entry.

All other participants re-

ceived a treat for their work.

The school would like to thank the Royal Purple for sponsoring this worthwhile contest.

The SLC treated staff and students to delicious ice cream sundaes Thursday. It was also Jersey Day and many students and staff wore their favourite football or hockey jersey. There were a lot of Roughrider jerseys around the building.

The winners of this week’s library poster draws were Brooke Ferris and Estefani Rodriguez.

There was a lot of talk and excitement around hamsters this week as the first book from the program, “One School, One Book,” was launched. Students from kindergarten to Grade 5 gathered Thursday to watch a short video on hamsters and listen to a dialogue between a “janitor” and a guinea pig.

They had a chance to see a large cage and a real guinea pig. They watched as the guinea pig was fed and made a brief appearance.

Each student then received a copy of the book and a May calendar with a schedule of the reading nights.

They read the first chapter that evening.

The next day they had an opportunity to answer a trivia question about the first chapter and enter their answer into the draw box.

At noon a name was drawn and, if the student had the right answer, they received a book.

Brooklyn Large, Grade 2, was the first winner. She knew the name of the car that the teacher drove.

Author Maxine Spence will be visiting the school May 8. She is the author of several children’s books including, Down in the Jungle and Leaf. She will be doing an hour session with all grades up to Grade 8.

The 2015-16 kindergarten open house will be held May 25 from10 a.m. until 11 a.m. The new students and their parents will take part in some explore and play time as well as listen to a story in the library.

The annual talent night and drama presentation will be held May 28 in the school gym.

Enjoy the first week of May. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world.

Goodsoil hosts NWMA spring meeting

By Dorothy Schwartz Correspondent

www.stellarins.saskbrokers.com

GOODSOIL — Maidstone Museum members travelled to Goodsoil May 2 to attend the spring meeting of the North West Museum Association.

Representatives from other museums attending were from Bresaylor, Lashburn, Loon Lake, Neilburg, Meadow Lake, Rabbit Lake, St. Walburg, Spiritwood, Wilkie and Goodsoil. Also attending was a Saskatchewan Museums Association representative from Regina.

Participants were welcomed by Goodsoil Museum president Alex Schamber and Mayor Jack Purves.

The business of the NWMA was taken care of in the morning. We were then all given a prepared bag lunch and boarded a school bus for an interesting tour of the surrounding area.

First stop was Lauman Landing on beautiful Lac Des Isles. The lake is three

miles long and three miles wide and, in places, 150 feet deep with many islands.

In this relative new lakeshore development a 1,500 square foot log house was built by the TV show company Timber Kings. They build log homes in Williams Lake, B.C. and reassemble them where requested.

We were giving a tour of the beautiful $2 million home overlooking the lake.

Next stop was the Northern Meadows Golf Course that was developed on a farm with eight serviced RV spaces, rental cottages, a bed and breakfast and licensed dining. There is a pro shop and cart rentals.

A number of private homes have been built adjacent to the golf course.

Next was a hunting lodge with 12 rooms that is beautifully landscaped and often used for weddings, anniversaries and other special occasions.

We passed through a cement plant and then stopped at the home of Louisa Lavoie, a dedicated mem-

ber of the NWMA, who is temporarily unable to attend meetings.

Back in Goodsoil we were given a tour of their museum.

We then returned to the community hall and finished the afternoon with a presentation by May Lin of Regina.

Gift bags were given to everyone who attended, ending a most interesting, informative and enjoyable day.

The NWMA fall meeting will be held in Neilburg Oct. 17.

Shopper’s Haven The Battleford Arena was transformed into a showroom for the Historic Battleford Lions Community Garage Sale Saturday. There was everything from homemade crafts to children’s clothes available as the floor was full of tables of goods to sift through. Photo by Craig Beauchemin

OBITUARIES THOMAS: Quintin Allen Thomas of Sylvan Lake, passed away suddenly on Friday, April 17, 2015, at the age of 20 years.

Quintin was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. His first years were spent at Chitek Lake, where he went to Leoville School for his elementary years. Moving to Battleford, Quintin continued to be involved in dance and was a champion pow wow dancer. He led a busy life with school, dance, swimming and piano.

Quintin’s first snowmobile mountain trip with his dad was at age 10, and he was hooked. The outdoors allowed Quintin to reset and return to the hectic pace of life.

Snowmobiling, quadding, hunting and fishing were his passion.

Snowboarding became a major part of his life as his family spent weekends at ski hills. Moving to Sylvan Lake in 2010, Quintin again made many lasting friendships. Quintin will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Debbie and Kevin Thomas, and his best friend and sister Lakoda; grandparents: Esther and Ron Hnatiw, of Sylvan Lake; Miriam Thomas of Chitek Lake, and Mary (Frank) Lee of Martinsville, Saskatchewan. He will also be missed by many extended family, including brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles, and the many friends he made across the provinces. He was predeceased by his grandpa, Leo Thomas, with whom he shared a special bond. Friends were welcome to pay their respects and share memories of Quintin, at a wake held at the Ridgewood Community Hall, beginning Wednesday, April 22 at 10:00 a.m, and continued until the Celebration of Quintin’s Life, Thursday, April 23, 2015 at 1:00 p.m., also at the Ridgewood Community Hall.

If LOVE alone could have saved you, you would still be alive.

I have tears in my eyes as I write this but know that one day we will all be together again.

I have always said that “If you looked up the word MOM in the dictionary...

Your picture would be there”.

If only there was a stairway to Heaven...

On Mother’s Day you would look down and see dad and five loving kids on our way to spend the day with you.

New millionaires have ties to Mayfair

By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent

It was announced three weeks ago that Unity residents Ruth and Duane Hume won a million dollars in a lottery. Ruth grew up on a farm east of Mayfair and attended school in Mayfair, finishing Grade 12 there. Her mother, Ruby Huard, moved to Unity at least 20 years ago and still lives there. Ruby and her late husband raised a large family. Congratulations to the Humes. Ruth indicated her husband could quit his distant employment to be closer to home.

Dueling piano performances sponsored by the parent association of John Paul II Collegiate May 1 was most enjoyable. Two talented musicians put on a great performance at the Alex Dillabough Centre. Four women from this area attended.

Our son Greg from Red Deer was here this past weekend. We don’t see much of him in the winter because there are deadlines to meet that time of year when you are a chartered accountant.

Baby Cooper Sevick from Maymont with parents Kinley and Amanda and siblings Parker and Keri were guests at Mayfair All Saints Church May 3. Cooper was baptized by Father Allen from Hafford. He is almost nine months old. We also celebrated his sister’s third birthday (April 27) that af-

ternoon.

Mayfair’s art show and sale May 3 at the community hall was successful, attracting many people from near and far.. The featured artists were: Doreen Kalmakoff and Lori Dyck, Blaine Lake; Dorothy Schmid, Medstead; Mavis Bellisle and Kathy Cross, Spiritwood; Nancy Stroo , North Battleford; Linda Price, Meeting Lake; and Gail Leohndorf, Bev and David Kowarchuk, Madison Price and Janette Klassen, Rabbit Lake. Local artists participating were Dora Brown, Edna Rogers, Adgerine McNutt, Buck Scotton, Alice Grigor and Connie Giesbrecht.

The hall was tastefully decorated with the theme Spring Has Sprung. Guests drank from fine glass teacups placed on linen tablecloth. We were treated like royalty. Speaking of royalty, a few women were adorned with fashionable hats because of William and Kate’s new arrival and perhaps heir to the British throne someday. The new baby’s name is Charlotte.

Former resident Willy Alkin, a meticulous carpenter, builds birdhouses and the artists took them home to paint and decorate. Not one of them was the same. There was a silent auction on the birdhouses. The colourful birdhouses had people bidding enthusiastically.

An event like this needs

volunteers who enjoy what they are engaged in. The local library branch Creative Corners will benefit from the proceeds.

Becky Bulmer and longtime boyfriend Daniel Bezmutto were recently engaged.

Becky graduated from Maymont Central School four years ago, but was a student in Mayfair School until its doors closed in June 2005.

She will be receiving a degree in communication disorders from Minot, N.D. a few weeks from now. Daniel, a farm boy originally from Hafford, is employed as a welder with Schmidt’s

in North Battleford.

The annual round dance sponsored by the Gold Eagle Casino at the Agriplex in North Battleford was a learning experience. The feast started at 1 p.m. with prayers and words of wisdom from an elder, while sweetgrass was smoked by a group of First Nation men. Everyone sat in a circle on the floor, while some disabled or elderly people sat in chairs.

Various foods were served by younger men, some of whom were carrying heavy metal pots of different soups.

The helpings were large and the spectators were to take

the extra home in containers.

The round dance went from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., but I stayed for only a couple of hours to observe and ask questions of an informative First Nation woman who resides at Muskeg First Nation near Leask. A few years ago I took a SIAST course about different cultures and did remember some of what I learned while attending this wonderful function. The announcers were William (Boyko) Stone and Dennis Carter. A large number of people from surrounding reserves participated and I recognized some of them. I haven’t seen Sylvia Pooyak from Sweetgrass Reserve for a long time, but I remember my oldest son Curtis and her son Darren played hockey together in Battlefords Minor Hockey Association 25 years ago. Darren has been employed by the City of North Battleford for a number of years. Sylvia has been working at the casino for several years.

Krivosheim, Oscar Lake and Bohkarn School Districts have a newly published history book that includes families, schools, historic events, pioneering days and practices and names of local wild flowers and birds. A retired vice-principal, Mary Puto who taught at Mayfair School, spearheaded this book. It is available for purchase by phoning Mary at 306-549-4911 or at the RM

of Meeting Lake in Mayfair.

As a member of the school staff, Mary was well respected by both students and parents and is well known throughout the Battlefords.

No job is too large for Mary to tackle. The next few generations will gratefully benefit from this book.

This is a bizarre story and I have two witnesses to back me up. Homeward bound from the Rivers West awards evening two passengers, Margaret and Connie, and I decided to tour Spruce Lake.

We saw what we thought was a lovely large deer statue motionless in a yard. All of a sudden it moved. It was alive and seemed quite tame.

I stopped my truck and it came walking up to my window, so I brainlessly opened it up, put out my hand and actually petted the deer. It didn’t appear to be in any rush to go anywhere. After a couple of minutes we slowly drove away. I decided to turn the vehicle around so the other two passengers could experience the same thing, but after about three minutes the animal disappeared.

We decided residents in this hamlet probably feed adult “Bambi” and it was having a feeding on supper scraps.

I’m told this could not be a rabid animal because deer do not get rabies. Next week I will write about another strange happening, which did not have a good ending for a large animal.

Dancers celebrate achievements

By Helena Long

Freelance Reporter

WILKIE — The Wilkie School of Dance wrapped up its 2014-15 dance season with a showcase of solos and duets at McLurg High School May 2. The showcase included ballet, hip hop, tap, musical theatre and lyrical dance numbers.

Many of the dancers took part in competitions earlier this spring, bringing home a number of awards from Warman, North Battleford and Lloydminster. Dance instructors and choreographers are Danielle Greening, Daryl Iverson and Ashton Keller.

Amy Gruber and Kylie Delainey tap in unison, in their last performance of the 201415 dance season. At Lloydminster’s Dancin’ on the Border, their duet was named Most Promising Junior Tap Duet.

Walkathon draws 33

By Helena Pike Correspondent

A couple of warm, above 25C days brought the leaves out on the trees and new growth on spring flowers.

The crocuses which grow where there is native grass have been plentiful and beautiful this spring. Buffalo beans and purple violets are now blooming and buttercups are beginning to appear. Spring is actually here!

The annual Waseca Walkathon, sponsored by the community centre, held May 3 was an event enjoyed by 18 adults and 15 children. The participation of all walkers was appreciated.

Although the walkathon has been a spring event for many years, first initiated by the rec board and, for the last four years, sponsored by the community centre, it

April ONLY

aseca News is now an annual event. The participation of members of Maidstone Weight Watchers and former Waseca residents is really appreciated.

For adults the walk begins at the community centre and is completed at the Waseca Battle River bridge, a distance of a little more than 10 kilometres. The children, walking or riding bikes, trikes or in strollers, begin at the centre and walk to the cemetery. All walkers are then transported back to the centre for refreshments.

Among the drivers were Doug McLaine, Mern Key and Willie Pluhowy who checked on the walkers,

keeping them supplied with water and encouragement.

The children participating in the walk were presented with medals to commemorate the event.

It is interesting to see the numbers each year and visit with regular walkers who have participated annually, and to have new participants who have just recently heard of this annual event.

The proceeds from this event will be used to install much needed new windows in the centre.

Spring sports, participated in by Waseca students at Maidstone School, are mainly soccer and ball and preparation for the annual field day.

The next public event to be held in Waseca will be the Father’s Day brunch and raffle draw. Posters can already be seen.

Seniors celebrate seven April birthdays

By Lorraine Olinyk Correspondent

www.wawashrinecircus.com

The Borden Friendship Club held their monthly potluck supper April 29, with more than 40 out to enjoy a bountiful meal. On hand to blow out the candles on the birthday cake and ice cream, brought by Elizabeth Derksen and Pat Trischuk, were Anna Elliot, Ann Brand, Larry Trischuk, Ed Rawlyk, Mary Thiessen, Ron Suderman and Bob Wardhaugh.

Ed Neufeld thanked everyone who helped with the Saskatoon fiddle concert with donations of more than $800 going to the Borden volunteer firefighters. He introduced the entertainment for the evening, Gerald Wiebe of Radisson, who played and sang many tunes.

Peter Thiessen joined in with the singing for Four Strong Winds and Ring of Fire.

At the Kaiser tournament April 28, the winners were Ted Mandziak and Patricia from Saskatoon. Upcoming for the club is a business meeting May 13, a potluck supper May 27 and a supper and program June 2 for invited guests from Maymont, Radisson and Langham seniors’ clubs.

The Borden Care Home Auxiliary held a spring tea at the care home May 1, raising over $100 to buy flowers to plant outside and a bench for beside the door. Door prizes of potted plants went to Dorothy Buswell, Bev Assman and Patti Charko.

The care home board is raffling two quilts made and donated by a woman from Langham, and these will be drawn for on Mother’s Day. The proceeds will go to buy a patio table and chairs for the sunroom and tickets can be bought at the care home, Gas Plus or from Lorraine at the farmers’ market May 8.

Borden and District Farmers’ Market started up for the season May 1 with seven vendors– Rita and Bill Shukin and Connie and Daryl Kenakin with baking, grains, jams, jellies, veggies, plants; Arlene Proctor

orden Radisson with honey and selling Eileen Petrun’s baking; Karen Kerr with baking, jams and jellies; Natalie Gramiak with baking and selling pie for dessert; and Lorraine Olinyk, with the help of United Church ladies, selling burgers and hot dogs along with books and tickets.

Safe driving course time well spent

By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

The 55 Alive driver refresher course was held in the Do Drop In May 4 with 20 seniors attending. Instructors were Ron Lawford and Ron MacKay from Saskatoon.

They were both excellent speakers and got their messages across clearly.

The object of the course was having people realize “driving is a privilege, not a right” and the more familiar one is with the rules of the road the safer the roads will be. The newly updated Saskatchewan Drivers’ Handbooks were given out to each person as well as the SGI’s The Older and Wiser Driver.

As traffic conditions change, one must be aware of all that’s going on around you as you share the road with other drivers and drive to keep everyone safe.

This was sponsored by the Do Drop In seniors and assisted by Pearl Hawkins.

Maureen Campbell expressed the gratitude of the partici-

pants for a day well spent. A potluck dinner was enjoyed by everyone, as well as the coffee all day long. For other groups interested in this course, by all means go for it.

It is excellent and free, as it is sponsored by the Saskatoon and District Safety Council.

The summer hours are in effect at the transfer station, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. No garbage goes into the big bin, but tagged bags are picked up Tuesday mornings after 8:30 a.m. at the curb.

The Lions spring bottle drive is May 25 starting at 10 a.m. so get your bottles ready to be picked up and phone 306-441-7381 or 306-4416181. Or they can be dropped off at the old fire hall, Terry’s Workshop, any time.

The wind-up afternoon for Norwegian whist was held at the Do Drop In May 1 with high score going to Bev McCrimmon, second to Ken Tucker, third to Albert Huys and fourth to Pat Chapman.

There will be one last afternoon of cards out at the farm home of Arlene Walker May 8, as she will be moving into her new home in Meota fairly soon. Now that the countryside is turning green we look forward to the nice drive west and south, nearly to the Saskatchewan River. It will be great to see the riverbanks with their summer coat of green.

If the weather warms up Gloria Winterhalt hopes to open the concession at the beach May 12. Saturday mornings she will be having pancake breakfasts starting at 8 a.m., followed by other plans to make our summer enjoyable.

Gordon Turnbull of Spiritwood has been placed in the care home at Hafford because there is no room available in Spiritwood or Leoville. Gordon and his wife Evelyn have worked with the seniors in Spiritwood for well over 30 and 40 years, helping in so many ways every time an indoor event or an outing of any kind was organized. Gordon maintained the handi-bus that he helped them purchase.

One December they donated over 90 hours of their time to working with the seniors.

That is the “thanks” he gets for his efforts to make life better for others.

Gail and Eric Callbeck motored to Vancouver Island on a pleasure trip to celebrate her birthday. They enjoyed the drive through the mountains and the scenery all the way, and on the Island they toured the Butchart Gardens, Craigdarroch Castle, the B.C. Royal Museum and the murals at Chemainus. On the way home they met up with their son Gary and Darlene, from Fort St. John, B.C. for supper at a café and were surprised to find several of their friends from Lloydminster also there to wish Gail a happy birthday.

Gary and Darlene continued on to Meota where they spent a few days visiting with them here.

Following our last snow storm the night of April 25-

26 the all parish service was held in Livelong for the Turtle River Parish. Needless to say attendance was down somewhat but the “blanket service” was well received by those who were there April 26 at 10:30 a.m. This exercise was a teaching tool that used participatory popular education to raise awareness of the nation-to-nation relationship between indigenous people and non-indigenous people. It teaches a history of Canada that most people never learn. It is designed to deepen understanding of the denial of indigenous peoples’ nationhood throughout Canadian history. What they taught us in school “just wasn’t so,” was one remark heard after, and many found it to be a very humbling experience in which they learned, and felt, so much about our past history.

Back in action after time in the hospital

By Dorothy M. Mills Correspondent

I had to let my news reports be at a stand still due to spending two weeks in the Battlefords Union Hospital. Now I’m back home and more mobile so here goes.

Visiting with Phil and Lorna Bater was Phil’s neice Marelim (Bater) Williams of Victoria B.C. She is the daughter of Phil’s brother Jerry Bater. Also visiting was Phil’s sister Gwenda Rondesvedt of North Battleford.

Hopefully we are at least getting our real spring weather though it is chilly and below normal for this time of the year. A few days ago after close to a foot of wet snow fell it felt more like winter again. It has all melted now and dried up for better conditions.

At least the grass is green and the trees are leafing out. Summer is on its way. The farmers have pretty well got all their grain and equipment ready to go. Some have already started to seed while others are light harrowing and cultivating and spreading the fertilizer ready to go.

From here on it is going to

be a very busy time to get the fields all seeded.

Rain showers are in the forecast so let’s hope it does not hold up the seeding too long. Even at that a good little rain shower has dampened the long dry grass.

Get well wishes go to Phil Bater, as he had spent a whole month in the Battlefords Union Hospital. He is now home and on the improving list.

Stanley Mills suffered a short time with shingles, but is now back to normal. They can be so painful when not treated.

Stanley Mills spent two workshop days at the Western Development Museum.

Neil Milman was in charge and at least five other helpers and some of those were volunteers at the Saskatoon Western Development Museum well as local volunteers. They are all busy restoring and repairing antique tractors to run in the Those Were The Days Parade later this summer.

The museum is short of local volunteers as the interest is dropping off. They welcome anyone to come in and join the already busy volunteers. We must take care of our farming heritage as it is slowly slipping away.

aljennie Our granddaughter, Madeline Pishori of Mississauga, Ont., was recently awarded a $12,000 LaunchPad prize. She earned the prize with her product idea called Intake. Intake is a multi-media meal kit containing all the basic dry ingredients for a healthy meal augmented with digital guidance and a list of fresh groceries needed.

Madeline was among 16 semifinalists in the competition and is described in a news report as having “wowed” the judges with her idea.

Madeline is our only

granddaughter. Her parents are Elaine Theriault and Ismail Pishori. She is 19 years old and graduated from high school in 2013.

She worked out of several different stores as it took her some time to decide which college she wanted to attend. She lives at home with her parents and has her own car to drive to Humber College where she studies fashion arts. She also works with a fashion studio as well as an old-fashioned tea house where they serve tea in china cups and tea pots.

She has a busy home life.

Now graduation time has arrived and at a small ceremony she received the award and a pin as an honours student. She will use the award money to further her education. Her mother attended the ceremony.
