Three-year sentence for impaired driving death Staff Jail time has been imposed for the man responsible for an impaireddriving fatality on Highway 4 north of the city last December.

Randy Bodnarchuk was sentenced to three years in a federal penitentiary Wednesday for causing death with a blood alcohol of over 80 mg.

He also received a five-year driving prohibition after his jail term and a DNA sample was also ordered.

Judge Dan O’Hanlon handed down the sentence in North Battleford Provincial Court Wednesday morning.

Sentencing submissions by the Crown and defence, as well as victim impact statements, were presented to the court a week earlier. At that time Judge O’Hanlon adjourned the decision to the following week in order to consider his sentence.

The case stemmed from Dec. 10 from last year when a fatal collision took place on Highway 4 north of North Battleford during the morning hours. The collision claimed the life of Karen East, 54.

East had been driving to her employment at Elk Point Drilling and was turning right, with her right signals on, when her vehicle was struck from behind by a Dodge Truck driven

by Bodnarchuk, age 24.

According to facts of the case out-

lined in court, there had been a number of calls that morning about erratic driving on Highway 4.

Bodnarchuk had been driving southbound and travelling at a high rate of speed. He passed a school bus and then made a u-turn in front of oncoming traffic, returning northbound.

The vehicle almost lost control and nearly hit the ditch a couple of times, according to the facts outlined by the Crown.

The collision with the minivan happened around 8:30 a.m. The Crown reported officers observed Bodnaruk had slurred speech and glassy eyes. Breath samples were taken and Bodnarchuk’s blood sample results showed a blood alcohol level of 16 mg, twice the legal limit.

The traffic reconstructionist concluded Bodnarchuk was travelling at an estimated 142 km/h when the collision occurred, well above the 100 km/h speed limit.

This summer, Bodnarchuk entered a guilty plea to impaired driving over 80 mg causing death.

The sentencing hearing was an emotional one, with members of the Bodnarchuk and the East families in attendance. Several victim impact statements were filed on behalf of the victims’ family. Four of them were tearfully read out loud in court

by family and friends of East during sentencing submissions Sept. 8.

Bodnarchuk himself had written an apology and also gave a verbal apology in court that day, saying he was sorry to the family.

Crown and defence counsel had made separate submissions on how long Bodnarchuk’s sentence should be. The Crown had called for a range of four to five years in jail. The defence called for three years.

In imposing sentence, Judge O’Hanlon pointed to an early guilty plea and expressions of remorse by Bodnarchuk as mitigating factors. But aggravating factors included the fatality, the fact he was driving erratically and at twice the legal blood-alcohol limit and exceeding the speed limit at the time of the collision.

He relied on case law and noted the facts in the case of R. vs. Ross, a Saskatchewan Court of Appeal case from 2013, in which the high court had indicated a sentence of three to four years might have been in order.

Bodnarchuk’s three-year sentence will be served in a federal penitentiary and the driving prohibition begins after that term ends.

Following O’Hanlon’s decision Wednesday, Bodnarchuk was immediately placed in custody and led away to serve his jail sentence.

Civic Centre replacement ideas

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

City council members were updated Monday on the early progress towards replacing the aging North Battleford Civic Centre.

City Manager Jim Puffalt provided the update to council on the early meetings that had taken place. A committee was established this year that included representation from a number of users groups with the purpose of coming up with ideas on what the new arena should look like.

A couple of meetings have been held, said Puffalt, with the first one focusing on what the new arena should have. The second meeting resulted in some amendments and elimination of unnecessary items,

and a list of items of features for the facility was drawn up.

“It was a very reasonable proposal brought to council this evening,” Puffalt told reporters after Monday’s meeting.

The list of items presented included an NHL-size rink, corporate box area, SJHL-standard dressing rooms, wider hallways, access for those with disabilities, offices, technical items including stadium Wi-Fi and Internet, a Jumbotron and numerous other items.

The arena would be used for national and international events as well as concerts and other floor events.

Puffalt noted it was important for the facility to be “multi-use,” where it “could be used for a hockey game, could be used for a concert

the next night, could be used for a demolition derby the night after.”

To address the ice rink shortage in the city, two ice surfaces are being contemplated, one with seating for 3,000 people (expandable to 5,000), while the other would have seating for 600.

Puffalt noted there are “synergies in constructing two facilities together,” including sharing one ice plant and a Zamboni. He credited the committee with thinking of operating costs in their deliberations.

The mandate of this initial committee is essentially complete. The city manager suggested next steps should include referring the issue to the 2016 budget deliberations.

“We need to move forward in some degree,” said

Puffalt. He suggested some money is needed to hire a consultant to look at suggested features, and come back with a price range and more recommendations.

Other next steps discussed included sharing with the public some of what the committee had come up with. Puffalt suggested some sort of event could be held to publicize the findings and they could also be featured on the City’s website.

Also talked about was the idea of taking a look at facilities in other communities to see what has been built.

Puffalt reiterated to reporters following the meeting that it will be a long process, with the new arena still a decade away.

Commentary

Future cost of proposed dam astronomical

By Kerry Holderness and Jason Friesen The flooding in the Quill Lakes is no longer just the problem of a few farmers, it is soon to become everyone’s problem. Every taxpayer has a stake in this.

This “dam” proposal by the Water Security Agency (the Kutawagan Diversion) is just the beginning of a long and expensive mistake that is completely avoidable. It will cause countless expenditures long into the future, just to attempt to justify the original mistake. Recent events happening to our immediate neighbors to the southeast should be our warning.

The state of North Dakota, is still losing money over forced decisions made in dealing with the Devils Lake fiasco, with expenses by federal, state and local governments exceeding a billion dollars, so far.

The U.S. National Weather Service describes “the new climate” when talking about high water events in the North American Great Plains. Also, there are predictions from the U.S. geological survey that this current flooding cycle may last for decades or longer. In an article by Douglas Larson in the 2011 American Scientist magazine, (net-search “Runaway Devils Lake” a must read for Saskatchewan people) the final paragraph sums up the tragedy perfectly… it states: “With the crisis unfolding, nature appears to have the upper hand, at least for now. Humans, seeking a technical fix at this late hour, may have lost control of their environment, a lesson about the importance of pre-emptive action to forestall or reverse an impending environmental disaster.

This may be particularly true now that unpredictable climate change appears likely across the globe. Having lost the proactive advantage, those working to solve the problem at Devils Lake have been reduced to a rearguard strategy. That is a position that may become familiar to people around the world in years to come.”

We are those “people” at that crossroad, right now, here in this province. The opportunity to take a pre-emptive action is right now. If we try to hold back unwanted volumes of flood water we are just copying the same mistakes made to the south of us, all over again. This will cost the province massive expenditures long into the future and that should be everyone’s concern.

To prevent flooding, upstream and down, we need an immediate controlled release of water from Quill Lakes now, and a commitment to maintain a constant water level at today’s elevation or lower.

From our flood committee’s investigations we have learned first-hand the majority of the Last Mountain Lake/ Qu’Appelle waterway is concerned with flood issues already taking place. The statements almost unanimously from community to community are “we can’t handle the water we have now.” Today’s fall rain events are mimicking the conditions that caused the spring of 2011 flood.

Added to that scare is a now threatening 2.1 million acre watershed area that has risen vertically 6.5 meters in 11 years and rising, with less than a meter to go to spill point.

This is an opportunity to get downstream infrastructure fixed now to reduce their threat of repeating flooding. This will help everyone along the system from the Quills to Hudson Bay prepare for the “new climate” realities. If the flooding continues at its current, or possibly at an increased rate, the man-made dam, a ticking time bomb above the Last-Mountain-Qu’Appelle system, will continue to threaten fish habitat, expensive property and infrastructure throughout the entire downstream system every single year.

There is enormous differences, in long-term economic

ramifications to the provincial, and to local economies, depending on what is done right now.

The current short-term fix proposed by WSA, does not show the economic losses that will be immediate and lengthy due to an avoidable flood.

The estimates prepared by the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics, and Bill Hodous Ramsey County Extension Agent, North Dakota State University, February 2011 compare market value of lost crop production and the additional losses throughout their economy.

They are listed as an annual market loss of almost $53 million. This adds up to direct and indirect losses of $194 million, distributed between the crop sector at $57 million, personal income sector $51 million, retail trade sector $43 million and loss of 1,150 regional jobs. We are looking at slightly less total acres than Devils Lake, but anyone can see the guaranteed losses of holding back unwanted water.

This cost estimate does not show the immediate loss to property values, of lost lands already flooded in the Quill Basin, of 58,000 acres of crown pasture, hay and recreational lands that devastated cattle and tourism and 27,000 acres of private lands, estimated at $42 million dollars.

As for the 60,000 acres of prime crop lands, and every farmyard and acreage designated “inside the Quill Basin immediate flood plain,” a decision to dam water back will immediately render all of these lands worthless to be sold or used as collateral.

This creates an immediate further loss of another $150 million to local residents, investors and lending institutions.

The only value they retain is from the few crops they can

produce before being flooded out. These people are left totally trapped with one stroke of a pen. Their history, their incomes and their retirement are erased. The annual losses will continue for decades after the water recedes, which could mean a century or more. The taxpayers’ costs for building and rebuilding dams will multiply exponentially with each rise in water, just like it did in North Dakota.

One comment from one of the participants in the consultation process was “we could pay for a new stadium and put a roof on it for those kind of dollars.” In reality those losses will repeat and escalate every year until the lands are recovered, for the flood victims, the regional economy and the provincial tax base.

All future flooding of the Quill Lakes is almost entirely avoidable, as proven by the studies already provided by consultants on this issue. This is now a choice. Flooding for everyone is not necessary. A controlled release will protect downstream property owners as much as it will the Quill Lakes.

Who will be responsible for future losses from this decision? Will the people along the Last Mountain LakeQu’Appelle chain and the province of Manitoba, pay for the costs of this dam and all of the economic losses that accrues? If it’s a federal decision, will the federal government pay? Or will the Saskatchewan taxpayers be hung out to dry? The cost of this dam project is too much, for everyone.

76 trombones, 40 young people, one smartphone In the opening of the musical The Music Man, huckster and con man “Professor” Harold Hill convinces the town of River City that the vice of a newly arrived billiard table in their community meant trouble. (If you haven’t seen The Music Man, The Simpsons’ Marge Vs. the Monorail episode was based on it.)

Harold Hill, the Music Man, sang, “Oh, ya got lots and lots o’ trouble. I’m thinkin’ of the kids in the knickerbockers shirttails, young ones peekin’ in the pool hall window after school. Ya got trouble, folks, right here in River City, with a capital ‘T’ and that rhymes with ‘P’ and that stands for pool’” My, have things changed.

I was in Saskatoon recently, and having a free evening to spare, I went and shot some pool with a friend at my favourite billiard hall from my university days, 20 years ago. Precious little had changed. They even had and old CRT style TV in one corner. There, the two of us with our fat waists and double chins looked like

escapees from the old folks home compared to the 16 to 22 year olds who populated much of the premises. That didn’t bother us too much as we racked the balls and then proved we’re both really out of practice.

About two games in I looked up and glanced around. I realized that, unlike in 1995, I could see across the room, since no one smokes in pool halls anymore. I could breathe clearly, which was a nice change.

I didn’t have to throw my clothes immediately in the wash upon getting home.

But then I noticed something that took my breath away in another manner.

Of the 40-odd young people I saw in my line of sight, only one at any given time was hunched over, looking at their smartphone, presumably communicating with someone not present.

Everywhere else this odd thing occurred – people

talked to each other, spoke eye-to-eye, smiled even. The girls were flirting with the boys. The boys were strutting their stuff, trying to impress those same girls. They were living in the moment, in the present, with the people around them.

That almost never, ever happens any more.

This was something that used to really bug my sister Melanie. She would say that no one talks anymore.

They’d rather play on their phone or text other people not there than interact with those around them. It really upset her, because she was not like that. She had missed the social media boat and preferred to be personable.

My grandfather at one point ran a pool hall, or so I am told. Once, while visiting me in Saskatoon, I challenged him to a game. He wiped the floor with me. I had never been so whipped in a game so quickly in my life. It was one of my favourite memories of him, because we were doing something together.

I don’t know if pool halls these days are considered

THANK YOU

dens if inequity. They’re not as common anymore. Other than a small handful in a few of the bars in Estevan, there is no pool hall that I’ve found.

Harold Hill sang, “Oh, think, my friends,

how can any pool table ever hope to compete with a gold trombone?”

Well, I don’t know how many people carry gold trombones in their pockets, but it seems a pool table can stand up to texting, What-

sApp, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook quite nicely.

Co-op Aquatic Centre being repaired this week

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The Co-op Aquatic Centre is closed this week, Sept.

10-17, so extensive work can be done to try to finally solve the mechanical and building envelope issues afflicting the facility.

Council received an update from Leisure Services Director Bill Samborski at a meeting Monday about the repairs.

The Co-op Aquatic Centre has faced issues involving the HVAC and the building envelope. The result was a buildup of humidity inside the facility that has affected the wood soffit.

These issues have plagued the facility since it opened in 2012 and while work was done to try to address the situation, the problems have persisted.

However, administration is optimistic the latest work

will make a difference.

The work being done consists of mechanical and building remediation led by Williams Engineering.

River City Plumbing and Heating is doing the mechanical component at a price of $276,678.02 and that work is underway and ongoing.

“Mechanical revisions are going quite well,” said Samborski.

Spraysulate Contracting of Edmonton is doing the spray-foam insulation work for $45,115, well within what was budgeted by the City. Another $63,500 is left over for contingencies.

The closure this week is mainly to accommodate the spray-foam work, Samborski indicated.

Foaming is being done to the exterior and in the interior and the expectation was the facility would open for users Sept. 18.

An engineer from Williams Engineering was on site Friday and expressed confidence that with the mechanical and the spray foam work, “that should be the end of our problems,” Samborski told council.

Still, the winter months will tell the tale of whether the issues at the Aquatic Centre have finally been resolved.

“We’ll know more in the spring if we were successful or not,” Samborski said. He did say a fair bit of remediation work is still to be done as well after that.

was approved in 2013 for a proposed hotel in the southeast that ultimately did not go ahead. Those incentives started at 100 per cent in

The City of North Battleford has granted tax incentives in connection to the new Comfort Inn and Suites development in the southeast of the city.

The hotel development was announced recently and will be going up near the Frontier Centre mall.

The resolution passed unanimously at council Monday called for “taxation incentives be provided to CCR Investments Ltd. for the development of a 99 room Comfort Inn and Suites Hotel.”

In 2016, taxes are to be calculated based on strictly

the value of the land regardless of whether the hotel is in operation. In years two and three, a 50 per cent taxation exemption is to be given and in year four a 25 per cent exemption applies.

The tax incentives had previously been approved at a meeting of the executive committee before going to council for final approval.

It was Monday the incentives for the Comfort Inn development are not quite as generous as ones granted to some other recent hotel projects in the city.

It was pointed out Gold Eagle Lodge received 100 per cent exemption for five years for its development.

Fence to prevent illegal dumping

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

City officials have confirmed they have put up a fence on civic property north of Wearing Road.

302-22nd Street, Battleford

ANNOUNCEMENT

In response to a question from Councillor Ryan Bater at Monday’s meeting, Director of Operations Stewart Schafer confirmed a fence had been put up there on a quarter-section of city property.

Schafer said the area was being used as a garbage dump by “unscrupulous people who do not wish to dispose of their waste properly.”

The area is not being totally closed off to the public.

There are accesses available to those who wish to walk their dogs through the pastures and or use it for other recreational purposes. But the idea is to keep the dumping out.

• Yes, I think it is finally about the team and not about the coach.

23% • It’s too late to save this season, but the win was encouraging for the future.

19% • It was just a flash in the pan. They’ll crash and burn in this week’s Banjo Bowl.

This week’s News-Optimist online poll: Having your own personal drones has become popular, but some see them as a nuisance, invasive and even dangerous.

What do you think?

• We have enough big brothers watching us without drone-flying neighbours watching us too.

• It’s a great new technology, and fun to boot! . There are beneficial uses for drones, but flying them around just for fun isn’t one of them.

• I have a drone, and no one has ever complained to me about it.

“The best part about our style of dancing is how it makes you feel,” said Maleeha Sheikh of CTV Morning Live in Saskatoon as she introduced a variety of colourful and exhilarating Indian dances to a North Battleford audience Saturday.

“Dancing is a huge part of the sub-Asian culture,” said Sheikh as the first performance of the season for the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts got underway.

Titled Dances of India, it was fully organized and supported by Drs. Mini and Mahesh Khurana of North Battleford.

Dr. Mini, who welcomed the dancers and guests, told the Regional Optimist she was inspired to organize the event because people often come to her wondering where they can learn or participate in Indian dancing.

While there aren’t any classes locally, and some people have gone as far as Edmonton to find schools of Indian dance, there are opportunities in Saskatoon, she said. She decided to bring a group of these Saskatchewan-based students and performers together for an

evening of dancing so people could see for themselves and choose to get involved in whatever style of dancing suits them.

In addition, it was a chance to share her heritage with the community that has been home for many years.

“I thank all performers and volunteers and my friends for their enormous effort,” she said. “Thank you all for attending. I hope all have had a pleasant experience and I hope we meet more often in this kind of event.”

North Battleford’s Mayor Ian Hamilton commended Dr. Mini for her effort and for recognizing an opportunity to bring her heritage to North Battleford and to the Dekker Centre.

He said he was excited that Dances of Indian was the first performance of an exciting season of the Dekker.

“I’m especially excited as I believe this truly demonstrates what the supporters, contributors and investors in this facility envisioned.”

He welcomed visitors from outside the community, extending “a never-ending welcome.”

“I want to welcome you back to see us again real soon.”

The evening also included a bufet of Indian cuisine.

The show began with an instrumental piece by Shelly Nasrin on sitar, a rare, traditional stringed instrument originating in ancient Persia.

Nasrin was born in Bangladesh and, as a child, learned how to play the sitar from her father.

She was accompanied

by Rajan Nundi playing the tabla, or two-headed drum.

Nundi has been in Saskatoon for 28 years and has performed in numerous shows across Canada, the United States, Bangladesh and India.

A variety of dances were performed by the Mudra School of Performing Arts from Saskatoon. It was founded in April of 2013 by Sneha Muhkerjee, who grew up in India where she trained as a dancer and as a software engineer. Her school shares a location with Colors of India, an outlet that had clothing and jewelry on display at the Dekker Centre the night of the performance. Their performances included a medley of Bollywood hits.

“Anyone who has seen a Bollywood movie, you know the song and dance are just as important as the plot and characters,” said Sheikh.

Dazzling Continued from Page 8 Also performing a variety of traditional dances were members of the Indian School of Dance and Music of Saskatoon, including the lungi folk dance typically performed at harvest celebrations, weddings or family gatherings.

“Old or young you can do it because anyone can dance if you are happy,” said Sheikh.

There were also performances by Oriental Dance Arts of Saskatoon, which has been exploring and celebrating dances and cultures

of the Middle East, Near East and Asia Minor since the mid-1980s in Saskatoon.

Their presentations included soofi whirling, a form of physically active meditation.

There was even a break dancing performance, featuring Stesaun Tingley and friends of Concrete Mentality. The group of four are based out of Saskatoon and presented a style of dance sometimes called “b-boying,” with elements from hip hop, rap, graffiti and DJing, said Sheikh.

The popular dance of Bhangra was also performed.

Sheikh noted the Bhangra

originated in the Punjab in northern Indian. Like Saskatchewan, she said, the Punjab is the farming centre of India.

The boisterous, celebratory dance was originally connected to the harvest season.

“Now people do it all year round because it’s fun,” said Sheikh. “In the last 30 years, Bhangra has seen a surge of popularity world wide, both in the folk form and a fusion form with genres like hip hop, house and reggae.”

She said many people believe Bhangra originated in the 1400s, but it may have been around long before

Cleaning up fire damage

by fire a number of months ago was the duplex on 104th Street.

Headrick told council the insurance company has required a company to go in and do repairs, and the property has been boarded up. He pledged more follow up on the status of that property.

Staff Reporter

City administration has been working with property owners regarding cleanup from fires that happened in the city.

North Battleford Fire Chief Albert Headrick was asked about a property on 15th Avenue at council Monday, and he confirmed there had been discussions with the property owner at that location about cleaning it up. An order was going to be issued and Headrick believes something should be done about it by the end of the month.

He called it a liability issue for the property owners and also for his department al is for 1301 - 103rd St., a 14-unit apartment building known as Crofton Place, formerly Allen Apartments.

BRA CLINIC

Have you gone on a bra shopping trip, only to be frustrated, walking away empty handed? Jeunique International, founded in 1959, manufactures health bras based on the engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge (balance load suspension). Shirley McInnes (International Executive Director), a Certified Bra Gold Eagle Lodge Fitter, is coming to the Tropical Inn for a BRA CLINIC. Bras on the market with frills and lace may look nice, but they are not doing their job. (85% of WOMEN ARE WEARING THE WRONG BRA!) A woman needs support from beneath the breast tissue. The Jeunique/Leunique Bras fit small to full figure, sports, maternity and mastectomy – 200 sizes and 3 styles to choose from 30a - 46KK; no bounce, no wires to gouge or bruises or impeded lymphatic drainage and circulation. Does not ride up in the back or fall off the shoulders and promotes better posture. Switching to a custom fitted bra is like giving up a floppy pair of slippers for an orthotic shoe. Once women adjust to the uplift and snugness (a couple of weeks) you become a life-long client. Doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors often refer their patients to us.

Soggy harvest weather unwelcome development Last week the weather was beautiful for the combine guys. They were rolling early and late. Fields were getting chewed off, the truckers were running hard trying to keep up. Bins were getting filled, shucks, even the elevator companies were buying a little grain.

Miracle on Highway 16.

That came to an abrupt end Saturday when da Devil sent rain, and I mean rain.

It wasn’t one of those gully washers, but steady all day.

At the farm here we got three inches. Grandson Josh has only 50 acres of wheat left to combine. That is OK since he also has a full-time job and his father helps him out. Anyway his weekend did not turn out as planned as, of course, the plan was to finish combining his wheat. Funny how this farming business never seems to run according to any fixed plan.

Since the rain, guys are

swathing up a storm. The canola was still green when the desiccated wheat was ready. Now the swathers are running long days and into the night as guys are hurrying to get the canola swathed. This will not last long as soon there will be nothing left to swath. It will all be down and done. The majority of the wheat is off and this would be deemed early. Not many years wheat is in the bin in this area before the middle of September.

In the olden days when the farmers were using a binder, farms were smaller.

The crop was cut and made into sheaves. Then someone had to come and gather the sheaves by hand and leaning one sheaf against another to make a stook.

The sheaves stood up, the cut off butts on the ground and heads of the wheat up at top where they dried and ripened. Once they

were stooked they could stay there a long time and most of the time they did.

Not everyone could afford a threshing machine so the community would get together, one person would own a threshing machine and everyone would come with their teams and racks.

The sheaves would be hauled up to the threshing machine and fed into the machine. The straw would be blown into a stack and the grain would go into a bin or a wagon. The blower on a threshing machine was

Lions Club are organizing a “run” in support of the renovation project at the Battleford Opera House.

The Operun will start at Town Hall Opera House, and wind past historical Battleford buildings like the

Court of Queen’s Bench, the post office, the Fred Light Museum and Fort Battleford National Historic site, with a scenic portion along the river.

The runners will likely be wearing the souvenir t-

By Victor Hult

Regular contributor to newsoptimist.ca a great invention as before the blowers guys had to take the straw away by hand. I would think that was the dirtiest job of all.

The sheaves in stooks were relatively safe but sometimes the threshing crew didn’t come until Christmas. The field mice would have a field day.

Warm place to live, lots of wheat to eat and lots of mice of the opposite sex. It was a mouse breeding orgy and then the field pitchers and wagons came and took your house away. That was

the end of that. If you were a mouse you had to run for your life as farm dogs and hawks overhead could mean your demise.

The other thing that was bad is if you got snow or freezing rain. Many a threshing crew finished up the year parking their wagons and switching their rack to their sleds. Another problem that could arise is the sheaves could be frozen to the ground. The settlers being resourceful guys sharpened the front of a steel shovel and simply shaved the sheaves off the ground.

Elevators took tough grain in those days, the only driers were at the coasts and everyone from here to there worked together to get the grain moved and sold.

In politics, the promises of how the politicians are going to bribe you with your own money to vote for them are becoming larger by the day. Considering the

campaign is only about half done, I don’t think there will be enough money to do all these promises. I have noted that two parties are promising minimum wage of $15. What about guaranteeing farmers $15 a bushel for their wheat no matter what the grade or qualityz/ Same difference. Only thing one promise will leave you without a job and the other will guarantee you will have something to eat Joke of the week from Bob Polinsky: Little Johnny was resisting doing schoolwork. The teacher sat down with the parents and they decided little Johnny needed to stay in the house and work on his schoolwork. In no time little Johnny was out running around the town. One of the neighbours saw him and said, “hey, does your mother know you are out?” Quick as a whip Little Johnny says, “Yup, I was nine pounds.”

Runners can choose to run (or walk) 10 kilometres or five kilometres or run a half marathon. A kid’s twokilometre run will also take place.

The Lions Club members appreciate the strong community support they have received. Major sponsors are Battleford Furniture and Scott Campbell Dodge and

the run has also benefited from the generosity of the Battlefords Hotel Association, Innovation Credit Union, SaskEnergy, Nutec Embroidery, Artrageous and the Lonestar Hotel.

Anyone who is inspired to participate, or want who wants more information, can go to the website www. theoperun.com or find The Operun on Facebook.

First Aid Tea Tree

ative to Australia, the tea tree flourishes in the wet swampy ground of northern New South Wales and Queensland. The leaves and small branches are picked year round for distillation into essential oils.

The centuries before Europeans arrived, native Australians used the leaves of the tree as an antiseptic.

Captain Cook named the “tea tree”. This tree rapidly became a valued remedy used by the European settlers to treat cuts, burns and insect bites. Tea tree soon became widely recognized as a powerful disinfectant.

Tea tree oil is an antiseptic that is active against many bacteria and fungi, including some that are resistant to antibiotics. However, it is not as effective as oral antibiotics for some conditions. It eases sore throat as a gargle, but should not be swallowed as it may cause nerve damage.

The club is applying to hold monthly bingos again, starting Nov. 12, then the third Wednesday after that until March.

Flu clinic in Borden is Oct. 29 from noon until 1:30 p.m. in the Borden Community Centre, so the club decided to hold their fall tea and bake sale that day, starting at 1 p.m., with door prizes.

Club members were going as a group to the Langham dinner theatre in November, but since that was cancelled, the club is going to the Mayfair United Church dinner theatre in Saskatoon Dec. 3.

There will be a speaker coming to the seniors Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. Harold Empey talks about “just in case,” about arranging everything ahead in the case of a death.

The Lions will be serving lunch. This information night is for everyone, young or old.

Some of the club members are going to Maymont Sept. 17 for an afternoon program and supper. The potluck supper and birthday celebration will be Sept. 30.

orden Radisson Elizabeth Derksen, president of the club, and her husband Reuben have sold their house and are moving to Saskatoon the end of October, but she will stay on as president for now with vice Rita Smith taking over if she can’t make it out. There will be a farewell tea for the Derksens Oct. 4, in the Borden Community Centre.

There will be a few new faces around Borden in the coming days, as Don and Ferne Hebig have sold their house and moved to Watson, Rob and Lynette Schmidt and family have sold their place on Aspen Acres East and bought Carol Crabb’s acreage west of town. Carol is moving into Borden while her new house is being built on 2nd Avenue. Three other houses on 2nd Avenue in the village have also changed owners in the past month or two.

Welcome to Borden to all these newcomers. Hope you like living here.

At the Borden Primary Health Centre, there is a fitness room. Have you decided to make a lifestyle

change and improve your health and need a place to exercise or meet a friend for a fun exercise session? If you’re looking for an inexpensive place with exercise equipment, then come to the health centre for only $10 per year. They are open 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m Fridays; closed any statutory holidays.

There is also a registered massage therapist, Cliff McTavish, available Mondays and Wednesdays at the health centre. Call 1-306290-5945 to book.

The health centre has doctors come out Tuesdays, pharmacy is there Monday to Thursday. Debbie Bathgate is the nurse practitioner.

The Borden Farmers’ Market is gearing down for the last four weeks. It closes for the summer Oct. 9.

Customer Appreciation Day, when there are free beverages and goodies, will be Sept.

25 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. in the Borden Fire Hall.

The Christmas sale is Dec. 5, in the Borden Community Centre from 11 a.m.

– 4 p.m. Grad 2016 will have lunch available and there will be home-based businesses set up in the seniors’ room. Call Lorraine at 306997-2159 for information or to book a table.

School has been in session for a week now so everyone associated is getting in the groove again.

Three school buses driven by Ruth Sutherland, Gloria Ford and Sandra Sutherland head out from Waseca each weekday morning to gather up the children for classes. New riders on the buses this year are Mia Nelson in pre-kindergarten and Carmen Melnyk and Landon Lorenz in kindergarten.

We wish all students a safe, happy school year.

When school begins, so do the school sports with volleyball tournaments taking place now.

Some work has been done recently at Waseca Cemetery. Gravestones and markers are being restored.

The village is hoping to have a ‘bee’ there in the near future. Watch for a poster at the post office. All volunteer help will be greatly appreciated. Remember, more hands make light work.

Waseca rec board held its regular meeting Aug. 26 with a number of future events discussed. The 2016 Father’s Day raffle was discussed and the 2016 fish fry was discussed. More help is needed for this event. The

Telemiracle wants stories

aseca News rec board is hoping to get more of the Waseca organizations and more people involved to make the fish fry run more smoothly.

The Waseca rec board has two pianos available for people to borrow if their children are taking piano lessons. A family who borrows a piano can keep it as long as it is needed with one stipulation – that it be kept tuned. These pianos have been doing the rounds for many years, much appreciated by those who have borrowed them. Posters are up in the post office telling people who plan to borrow a

piano who to get in contact with.

The rec board is looking for volunteers to serve on the rink board. If anyone is interested in having the rink used to capacity and is willing to help organize work bees to have the necessary work done, please contact a member of the rec board.

Tentative plans are being made to have a Christmas celebration at Waseca’s Heritage Church. It is hoped that a heating system will be in the church for this event.

That is presently being worked on.

The next rec board meeting will be held at the usual time Oct. 18. Thank you to rec board members who faithfully attend regular meetings that are so important in organizing so many events which take place in the village.

Staff Telemiracle has launched a seven-month campaign called MyTelemiracleStory. com to collect stories and memories about Telemiracle from the people of Saskatchewan.

Telemiracle has become a fixture in Saskatchewan and this March the Kinsmen will mark the 40th airing of the annual telethon.

“It is hard to go anywhere in Saskatchewan without hearing a story or memory somebody has about Telemiracle,” remarked Jody Diakow, executive director for the Kinsmen Foundation.

“We want to get those stories all in one place and share them with everyone.”

The website, MyTelemiracleStory.com, was created to collect stories between now and Telemiracle 40, in Regina, March 5 and 6.

Individuals can submit their story through an online submission form and by video.

Some things should always be put off I wasn’t able to talk to Ed, my old neighbour, from Saskatchewan last week. I figure it may be just as well, as the Mrs. and I have been trying to get our thoughts collected and the needed information gathered up to update our wills.

Some things that need to be done get put off until it is too late. Since we have just moved to a new province, it is a good time to take care of all things needful.

Ed always said having your will written up is like waving a red flag at fate.

According to him, a will says that you’re ready for death and the distribution

of all you have to others.

Ed has said that it was best to put off writing up your will to the future.

He was positive you should let people know you are not ready to die or give any of your possessions to anybody, anytime soon!

I can imagine the hassle Ed will give me when he hears we are updating our wills.

His questions will be of these sorts: “Is one of you sick? Will you have any beneficiaries in your will that aren’t a relative?

Do you know some people leave money to an old friend or neighbour? Do you need a good execu-

eighbourly Advice According to Ed

By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca tor? Remember I have free time in the winter to waste for taking care of your estate. Are those B.C. lawyers more expensive than the Saskatchewan ones? Have you thought about writing your will up yourself and saving the cost of a lawyer?”

I know for sure Ed will remind me a person should never let his kids know the details of his will until he is dead. That way he won’t know all the trouble he started because where there is a will there’s a lawsuit.

Ed is a great one to

think in terms of what if.

He has had his what ifs about wills.

He has questioned what if you pay good money to have a will written up and signed, and then the will gets lost? You will have wasted your money for nothing. What if your will gets contested and your wishes in your will get ignored by the court? My answer was that when I never waste money and all my wishes come to pass as I wanted, I’ll be in heaven.

Drawing up a will is a way of dealing with the questions, of “What if I die, what will happen to me and those in my life?”

A will can allow a per-

son to say after their death what they desired done with their remains and possessions. Hopefully, it is a chance to express love and concern to one’s family. How sad if a will is used to express hate or hurt to those closest to the deceased. In death or life, we have an opportunity to show good intentions towards others.

We know that other people die and that everyone dies sooner or later. Having a will confirms what the Bible says, “There is a time for everything, (My) time to be born and (My) time to die.” There is no avoiding the inevitable.

Library used by more than 700 over the summer

By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

The combines were out working again for a few days, but rain showers keep stopping them. The warm weather last week helped dry things up.

The report from the library was read at the seniors’ meeting and consisted of news from the Meota branch.

July 4 there was a Simmons family reunion that brought 51 people into the library to look at history books. Wifi is available at the library for the public’s use and in July and August there were eight people per library day coming in to use it. The telephone was down from July 3-9 because a semi-truck had hit the overhead line. In July, 418 people used the library and in August, 359 people used it. Maureen Campbell has made new tablecloths for the library. Aug. 29, Walter Tait drove his cousins from Scotland to the library in his 1928 Model A Ford. They came to check their e-mail and flight schedule on wi-fi.

His cousin is a retired librarian so she had lots in common with Debbie Pearce in Meota’s library.

The Livelong Lakesiders Seniors’ Club have invited all seniors from the Meota area and their “over 50” friends to attend their seventh annual “Welcome Back Games Day” to be held in the Livelong Community Hall Friday, Oct. 2. starting at 10 a.m. with lunch at noon followed by more games in the afternoon. There will be a $10 fee, which includes lunch. For more information call Marie at 306-845-3266 or Ruth at 306-845-2445 or Daryl at 306-845-2346.

The Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research registration starts at noon Sept. 20 from the Meota Community Hall. You can walk, run, ride or wheel for two, five or 10 kilometres. Walking is available in the hall. For more

eota News information call 306-8922558. It looks like the weather might be OK for that type of exercise, so let’s see how good a turnout we can get in Meota.

Remember the next luncheon is Friday, Sept. 18 at the community complex.

See you there to support your hall committee and the work they do.

The transfer site is now running on winter hours and is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The Meota Farmers’ Market is holding their Christmas Craft Sale Nov. 12. If you would like a table call Silvia at 306-892-2524.

Sunday services at the United/Anglican Church are now at 1:30 p.m.

The flu clinic is Oct. 21 from 3-6 p.m. No appointment is needed.

The Lakeside Golf Course at Meota will be holding their Home Hardware Fall Scramble Sept. 20.

Duplicate bridge was played at the Do Drop In Sept. 1 with top scores by Ray and Marnie Davie.

Second high were Maureen Campbell and Vern Iverson and third were Margaret Dyck and Dave Creegan.

Sept. 8 they played again and top scores were by Ray and Marnie Davie, followed

by David Sharpe and Mary Greenwald. Third were Vern Iverson and Maureen Campbell.

A family reunion was held at Morin Lake near Debden for the family of Albert and Ruby Lalonde. All 17 of their children attended and only 10 of the hundred or so grandchildren didn’t make it. The family farmed in the area before taking over the store in Victoire.

Family members came from Australia, Cambodia, California, New York, the Yukon and western Canada.

Canasta was played Sept.

11 with four tables in play.

Highest score was by Charles Walker and Barbara Soloninko. Second high were Cora Christophersen and Janice Morton and third were Paulette Neale and Linda Ard. It was another fun night for all.

The date for the Lions Fall Supper is set for Oct. 19, so keep that date in mind.

Mary and Walter Tait have enjoyed the company of her cousin Morag and Dr. Iain Henderson from Invergowrie, Scotland. They have been here before and at that time they bus toured western Canada. This time they bus toured Ontario and Quebec. They just wish they had done this years ago and would have come and stayed in Canada. Walter and Mary took them to Wanuskewin, the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon and other points of interest. Iain is a teacher at a University in Scotland.

The September meeting of seniors was held Sept.

11 with a small turnout, but business had to be dealt with by those who were there. It was decided to hang the picture donated by Charles McMillan on the east wall between the windows. Senior week is being held Sept. 24 to Oct. 4. The annual pie and coffee day at the Do Drop In will be held Sept. 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. Pies will be gratefully accepted. Removal of the big tree in the backyard was discussed and will be looked into. A letter of information by Maureen Campbell was read and discussed with action on some ideas to be taken up next spring.

The report from the library was read. The invitation from Livelong seniors was read and posted. The next meeting will be Oct. 9 and we hope for a better turnout. The October wellness

clinic will be Oct. 15.

A discussion on what to charge the group taking yoga on Thursday mornings under the direction of Judy Fransoo followed. More information is needed.

An amazing item of interest is the fact Lillian Cornell of North Battleford has come through the surgery installing a pacemaker remarkably well. She is feeling stronger again and taking part in activities as before with more energy. Remember, she’s the gal who just celebrated her 111th birthday Aug. 21.

There’s a big threebay garage built across from the United Church which changed the scenery there considerably. There’s a new metal roof being installed on the 112-yearold Anglican Church on 1st Street East. It’s nice to see these old buildings being saved and not torn down.

That was built the same year as the Town Hall

in Battleford. Let your imagination run loose and try to picture what magnificent buildings they were in that day and age. I toured the Town Hall a few years ago and have followed with interest as it is being restored. The church here is being used as a cabin, but is still serving a purpose.

The old municipal office building in Meota is another one that is being restored, but with no alterations to the original structure as it has been declared a heritage building.

Had another phone call recently asking if this was the Meota School from a company associated with graduating classes. They still have Meota on their mailing list or phoning list.

Contract bridge was played Monday evening with a good turnout at the Do Drop In. The top score was by Maureen Campbell and second was Linda Ard.

Robert Iverson with his sunflower plant that measured 12.5 feet tall and later had a total of 22 flowers on it. No special fertilizer was used.

Founding member of Battlefords Treasure Hunters Club remembered

By Dorothy Mills Correspondent

Sympathy goes out to the Bill Hirchfeld family of Battleford West Park and Cando on the recent passing of Bill Hirchfeld of Battleford.

Bill and his wife Rosemarie raised their family in the Cando area before they retired to the West Park area in Battleford.

Over the years Bill had many interesting hobbies.

He was a good farmer, but also a softball player, collected antiques and coins and spent many hours hunting for treasures with metal detectors. He found a lot over the years. He was also one of the original organizing members of the Battlefords Treasure Hunters Club that ran for close to 20 years. He will be missed by all who knew him.

The funeral took place in North Battleford and burial was at the Cando Cemetery.

It is such a shame to see another historic building in North Battleford being

ELECTRONIC BINGO NOW AVAILABLE!

aljennie demolished. When does it end? They will all soon be gone. What a loss of history. Why destroy everything?

Just take much better care of these buildings. They are all so well built.

When the last tenants move out, why are they not boarding up the windows and taking better care of the property before someone else has an interest in the building? Why so much vandalism and all the broken windows to let the filthy pigeons get in and take over the building? Once they were in, it was the end of a good historic building.

Demolishing the old building does not solve the pigeon problem. Now where do they go but to other local buildings, spreading more filth on our streets that

should be clean for the public and visitors to the city to walk on and park their vehicles. The pigeons are not going to go away on their own.

They need to be controlled better and done away with before it gets to be a bigger problem. We don’t need the messy filth they leave and they could be disease carriers.

Let’s hope downtown North Battleford comes back to life and not with pigeons about. Goodbye to another piece of our history.

Visiting at the Mills farm was Susan Johnson and her two lady friends of Battleford as well as Kim Domont of Kindersley.

Where did our summer go? The schools are open again. The farmers are all well into the harvest season if the rains stay away. There has been a touch of frost in the local area. It’s going to be a long fall season with so many crops in all stages yet.

It will be good when it’s all finished.

Schools to participate in Terry Fox Walk

The experience of a lifetime was had at the annual Labor Day Classic when some Unity kids had the priviledge of meeting Darian Durant while also being photobombed by kicker Paul McCallum. Left to right are Madison Gilbert, Emily Smith and Courtney Smith alongside of Darian Durant. The boys in the photo are great-nephews of Scott Smith of Unity, Zack Dean of Macklin and Austin Schaeffer of Kindersley. Scott Gilbert said he was quick to mention to Durant the appreciation of the town of Unity for his organization and hosting of a fundraiser for the Surine twins, as Gilbert mentioned the Surine family hailed from Unity.

The ninth month of 2015 appears to be clipping along as quickly as all of the rest.

Add in busy fall activities restarting and it won’t be long before we are looking October in the eye. And, excitingly enough, it appears we will be watching the Blue Jays in post-season.

Our blue bins have certainly helped clean up the unsightly recycle area. Folks are also doing their best to keep up on the fall yard work as leaves are beginning to trickle down and gardens are in the process of being completed.

Unity Public School is well underway with a number of returning activities in the works such as cross-country, which has already held its first meet. There is also soccer, choir and participation in the Terry Fox Walk, marking the 35th anniversary of this event this year.

UPS staff and students are still adjusting to another large enrolment, the new nut alert policy and some minor changes in classroom locations.

Town of Unity, Unity Community Day Care, Unity Public School and St. Peter’s School have partnered together to develop and implement an after school program. The program will provide a safe, educational and structured environment for children to go from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

This program is held in the student services room at UPS and is also available at St. Peter’s School. Tenielle Heitt is the co-ordinator. The cost will be $5 for a drop-in fee and $75 for a monthly fee. Contact Tenielle at 306821-0701 or unitycommunitydi-rector@gmail.com.

St. Peter’s School has also leapt into their fall activities that include cross-country running under the leadership of Mr. Baum. These students have also taken part in their first meet.

Mrs. Keller has the gift of music echoing in the halls once again as both choir and band practices have begun.

as opening sets for the senior girl Warriors hosting their home tournament.

Students will take part in the Terry Fox Walk Sept.

24, the same day as the chili cook-off.

Staff are still adjusting to the large influx of Grade 7s who have migrated to the high school.

SLC, ACTIVATE/PSCC and yearbook committees have reconvened. School sports keep both gyms busy as cross-country running.

SADD has begun again and students look forward to taco salad days as part of the SADD fundraising efforts.

UCHS is also committed to the annual Terry Fox Walk.

And Cordell is back in the booth with hot lunches.

A warm welcome is extended to new Unity United Church minister, Gary Johnson and wife Verna Kocski, who arrived to take over the Unity Meridian Pastoral Charge from their former home in Moose Jaw. Gary has been out and about the community, meeting and greeting residents as well as now filling the pulpit at the United Church.

There was an information meeting Sept. 16 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the CE Building, next to the United Church, for Sparks, kindergarten and Grade 1; Brownies, Grades 2-3; and Girl Guides, Grades 4-6. For more information or to register, call 1-877-6520644 or go to www.saskatoongirlguides.ca.

Both Warrior football and Unity Minor Football are in action on the field at UPS. The rink will soon be once again a meeting place as hockey season kicks into full swing. Fans can check out the arena schedule posted each week or log onto the Town of Unity website for details. Register for 3-on-3 hockey, which will run from Sept. 28 to Oct. 10 with registration only $50. Contact UMH president, Dan Feser at 306-228-8123 to register.

Minor hockey registration has taken place this week with numbers again in the high factor ensuring multiple teams in various divisions once again.

Midget AA tryouts will take place Sept. 26 and 27 at the Unity arena, with ice times at 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 10:30 a.m. Sunday. Interested participants are asked to contact

Dwayne Scott at 306-2288284 or Stan Weber at 306228-8014.

The Unity Miners will be holding their hockey tryouts and camp in the near future.

It won’t be long before curling season will be back in action too. The Sifto cash spiel has already been set for Oct. 30 weekend.

Only one more week until the annual Unity Fall Fair and Trade Show. Consider entering your home grown or homemade projects in the fall fair portion with multiple categories in baking, produce, canning, sewing, quilting, photography and much more.

The trade show portion of this annual event will be held in the curling rink and is a great place to browse for unique products or fan favourites.

The Unity Ag Society will host a booth with plenty of homemade goodness as well.

Unity Credit Union and Delta Co-op are partnering to host the Saturday morning pancake breakfast with proceeds earmarked to the new Unity Community Day Care project.

You don’t want to forget to get your name in to be on the home team playing the

Montreal Canadiens alumni hockey team featuring plenty of former NHLers. As well there are spots open for officiating the big game, for equipment handlers and security for the Habs alumni as well as a “Thrill of a Lifetime” experience that includes a jersey and playing with the alumni and plenty more excitement.

The minor hockey draft night, Oct. 1, will be an opportunity to be selected for these opportunities. Contact Carey Baker at 306-2282621 for more details.

Coffee row folks have dual hot sports topics to talk about. The Blue Jays bringing on their best at the right time is exciting as many of these rowers can remember their last capture of World Series. And the Jays are much more fun to watch and talk about than the Riders right now, sad but true. Extended rains September long weekend was certainly not the harvest happenings our farmers were wanting to talk about. There is no lack of upcoming activities to review or anticipate as you can see by the lists in this column. So you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time …

Along with the fundraising, generous donations have come from local clubs and businesses and the Glaslyn Recreation Board was just

GLASLYN — The Glaslyn Recreation Board and countless volunteers announce that, after four years of fundraising, they have just started construction on the Glaslyn Community Centre to fix the wooden arch rib supports.

This year the Glaslyn Rec Board held four major fundraisers. They were the

awarded a grant from the Community Initiatives Fund in the amount of $25,000.

The total so far for 2015 is $102,975.18 which brings our grand total for four years to $229,022.

Glaslyn is fortunate to have the support from its community members, the surrounding area and local businesses that continue to help small communities raise money for a good

cause. The board appreciates all those that have volunteered, donated and supported the project. Board members look forward to what the future holds for Sports and Recreation in the community.

Winners of the Glaslyn Community Lotto have been announced. The early bird draw winner of a 2014 Polaris Ace was Kevin Pritchett.

WOODBURY: LAWRENCE FRANKLIN WOODBURY, September 24th, 1933 - August 18th, 2015. It is with heavy hearts to announce the peaceful passing of Lawrence Franklin Woodbury, August 18th, 2015 at the Battleford’s Union Hospital. He was a devoted father, loving husband, and an amazing grandfather. He was pre-deceased by his loving wife Seiri Aliina Woodbury, and his daughter Mellanie Aliina Woodbury. Lawrence will be lovingly remembered by his two children, Sean (Dawn) Woodbury from Llyodminister and Laura Woodbury from North Battleford. He will also be dearly missed by his four grandchildren, Maddux, Kelsie, Cassandra, and Brent.

Lawrence was born in Regina, Sk. He attended school in Winnipeg, Manitoba - Toronto, Ontario. He graduated from grade 13 from Westdale Collegiate in Hamilton Ontario. He joined the army as an apprentice mechanic and when the Korean war broke out he transferred to the RCR Airborne Regiment.

He took discharge in Calgary. He then took employment with Federal Water Development (PFRA), surveying, drafting, and designed water development projects in the 3 prairie provinces. In Hanna, Alberta he met and married Seiri a legal steno. They moved to Melfort, Sk and finally moved to North Battleford where Lawrence retired after 38 years of service with PFRA and was congratulated by the Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Lawrence was also involved with the Commissionaires, Federal Pensioners FSNA, Meals on Wheels, a member of the Legion Branch #70, and surveyed land transfers. He belonged to the Public Service Alliance of Canada as a Union member in which he was a steward and the Local President from 1969 to 1990. He also was initiated into Masonary Battle Lodge #19 1972, Royal Arch Chapter #9 1973, Worshipful Master, #19 1977, 1st Principle RAM #9 1978, and was a member of the Ionic 31 in North Battleford. He also proudly attended all Remembrance Day services in respect of all that have served their country.

His loving wife of 45 years passed away August, 2010. They will be interred together at Woodlawn Cemetary - Veterans Section. Together Forever. The family would like to extend our gratitude to ward 3 of the Battleford’s Union Hospital, the pallative team, Dr. Prystupa, Dr. Morton and his fellow colleagues, Dr. Tai and her staff from the Chronic Kidney Clinic in Saskatoon, and all other caregivers for providing care for Lawrence. We would also say thanks to all whom showed compassion and support in our time of need. Our father built a numerous amount of friendships throughout his life, and our family can proudly say he valued you all as well. In Lieu of flowers Donations may be made to the Pallative Ward at Battleford’s Union Hospital, The Chronic Kidney Disease Clinic in Saskatoon or to the Legion Branch #70 in North Battleford.

Old Man on His Back Ranch

Google Trekker camera to capture images Submitted

Nature Conservancy of Canada

The Nature Conservancy of Canada and Google formed a partnership that will see five spectacular nature sites across Canada captured in panoramic images destined for Google Street View.

Among the first of NCC`s natural areas to be photographed with the Google Trekker camera is the Old Man on His Back Prairie Heritage and Conservation area (OMB) in southwestern Saskatchewan on Wednesday, August 26.

NCC`s OMB area was selected for Google Trekker to enable many people to enjoy this natural area and view bison in their natural grasslands habitat. After this expedition, anyone will be able to visit the OMB ranch through Google maps via computer.

Position Available

The successful candidate will be responsible for coverage of local and regional sports for a twice weekly newspaper.

Short listed candidates will be contacted.

ball that contains 15 lenses.

The orb is mounted on a mechanical stalk that protrudes above the wearer’s head. The Trekker snaps multiple images on 360 degrees every 2.5 seconds. Every image taken by the Google Trekker is assigned a GPS location.

When uploaded to Google the images will be knit together to create panoramic views of the route followed by the Trekker.

The images and the route will be published in Google Maps, often with additional information to tell the story of OMB. These images will allow Canadians and Google users around the world to explore some of the NCC`s most stunning and diverse landscapes, coast to coast.

The NCC manages a seasonal interpretive center at OMB and a herd of genetically-pure plains bison on this ranch, located near Claydon in southwestern Saskatchewan.

“We (NCC) are pleased to be part of this partnership! Google Trekker at OMB ranch will allow many people to experience the beauty of natural grasslands and roaming bison,” says Jennifer McKillop, director of conservation for NCC in Saskatchewan.

“It puts NCC’s work in clear focus and features the natural grasslands of Saskatchewan on the virtual world map. When posted, people everywhere will be able to explore our NCC projects on Street View”.

NCC staff will use a Google Trekker, a 20-kilogram backpack-mounted camera, to capture images of the landscape and roaming bison. The team will hike through part of the 13,135 acre ranch to capture the images, staying far enough away to ensure the bison will not be disturbed.

Happy birthday, Kim. So now for some of us older people, Older People’s Day is Oct. 1. Figures revealed in a new DWP analysis released to mark International Older Peoples’s Day show nearly a quarter of a million more people aged 65 and over have opted to stay working since the default retirement age – a form of legal discrimination in the workplace – was abolished Oct. 1, 2011. There are now 1,103,000 workers aged 65 and over compared to 874,000 in the quarter October to December 2011 – an increase of 229,000.

Did you know older people are a huge resource for society and the whole economy?

Encouraging and enabling more later life working offers a massive potential financial boost both for individuals and the economy, as well as a more satisfying lifestyle for the older generation and their families. It is also important to destroy the myth that older workers somehow take the place of younger ones.

The older workers are like gold dust. Their experience and flexibility would be hard and costly to replace.

The above information came from a press release. If you need more information, just google Older People’s Day.

Eighteen years difference – Bert Carpentier and Kim Sherman celebrated their birthdays on the same day, Sept. 6. Bert had a wonderful party at his home with many family members and friends and Kim had a party, also with family and friends, earlier than the birthday day.

Which one of them had a milestone birthday? Kim, who turned 60 years old.

Can you believe it? Kim was born on a Thursday under the sign of Virgo.

Here’s a little poem for you, Kim. I’m Not Really 60: That’s not my age, it’s just not true. / My heart is young, the time just flew. / I’m staring at this strange old face / and someone else is in my place! / My body’s not in disrepair; / I’ve not much grey in my brown hair. / I sometimes feel a little tired. / But go for jogs when I’m inspired. / This age old thing is not for me; / Concessions given, prescriptions free. / I’ll just pretend I’m in my prime; / To age too fast would be a crime / I’m just not 60 in my head; It’s still so long till I am dead. / So please don’t

The school gymnasium was full to capacity for the annual welcome back breakfast Sept. 10. Staff and SLC members arrived early to cut up fruit and muffins and set up the gym.

Greg Ferris, the school community council president, introduced the members of the committee and spoke about the council’s role. They are there to support the school. Greg also mentioned the SLC has purchased two memorial benches that will be placed in front of the main entrance to the school.

Jean Brehon, vice-principal, then spoke about the two memorial trees that were purchased and planted in June. One is a memorial to Kelly Langely and the other to Ethan Manson.

Later in the day, the Grades 4 to 7 students along with Jean Brehon and Cathy Gillatt hung a memorial ribbon on Ethan’s tree.
