1. Skates must be sharp.

2. It’s tougher to get going on than real ice, but once skaters get the hang of it, they generally have no problems.

3. The skates tend to dull quickly, so regular use will require more sharpening than normal.

4. It will feel harder to skate on than regularSponsored ice of course!By Proudly After all, it’s plastic!

5. It’s an excellent way to exercise!!

6. Skaters who expect it to feel and respond like normal ice will be disappointed, it does take more effort - but it’s way cool!!

Anguish running for Parliament as independent

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

A new name has been added to the list of people running in BattlefordsLloydminster and it is a well known one.

Doug Anguish is running for Parliament, but he is not running for the New Democrats this time. Instead, he’s seeking office as an independent, for a few reasons.

“I feel frustration with the political parties, I don’t feel there’s much progress,” said Anguish in speaking to the Regional Optimist Tuesday.

Also, “I don’t like what’s happened to the Canadian fabric. I think the government we have presently is the most anti-democratic government we’ve had in the history of the country. And I think there needs to be some independence there to instill some good order to what political parties decide.”

He observes there “could be a minority government coming down the chute” and notes independent MPs play an important role in minority governments.

“Sometimes it’s only a matter of one vote between a minority and a majority.

If that happens, and there’s enough independence there, you’ll have democracy restored into the British parliamentary system that we use.”

The biggest reason he is running, Anguish said, is “I want people to feel represented. I don’t think the people feel represented anymore. I think the candidate, for whatever political party, they run, they get elected, they want constituents to vote for them.

“But it seems when they get to Ottawa or Regina or wherever it is they get elected to, all of a sudden they represent a political party.

They don’t represent you anymore. I want to change that. I want to represent the people of Battlefords-Lloydminster in Ottawa in the federal house. I don’t want to represent a political party that tells people what they think is best for them. I want

to pass that on the other way around and change that 180 degrees so what people are saying in constituencies has some impact on what the Canadian government does.”

Anguish has a long history in politics representing the Battlefords and area at the federal and provincial level.

He represented Battlefords-Meadow Lake from 1980 to 1984 for one term before losing to Progressive Conservative John Gormley.

Two years later, he was elected MLA for the Battlefords area and later served in the cabinet of Roy Romanow.

Of his time in politics, “I want that to tell people that I have good experience,” said Anguish.

But he resigned his seat in 1996, mainly out of frustration with party politics and his own government’s policies.

“I quit because when your own party undermines

your own constituents because there’s some larger plan out there, I didn’t like that and I was frustrated by that,” he said.

As for where he stands on the issues in this election, Anguish’s views are wide ranging.

He acknowledged the changes to the Canadian Wheat Board are a big issue.

Farmers are “divided on the Wheat Board, that’s what I’ve found.” Anguish said younger farmers and bigger farmers tend to support the changes, but smaller and the older farmers “don’t like what’s happening to the Wheat Board,” which they relied on for marketing.

“Smaller farmers who are truly independent on their own, have trouble with the removal of the Canadian Wheat Board and having a system that is likely not even owned by Canadians,” Anguish said.

On energy issues, Anguish says he is “a pipeline supporter,” and believes “it’s

a very dangerous practice, hauling oil and hydrocarbons by train.” He pointed to the Lac-Megantic disaster as an example of what can happen.

He called pipelines “the safest, most economical means of moving hydrocarbons in the ground.” Anguish also supports more refining capacity in Canada, saying “we could use more of them to value-add to our overall products before we move them out of the country.”

Other issues of importance to Anguish include democratic reform — including Senate reform, though he does not support abolishing the Senate completely — as well as addressing seniors’ issues and creating more jobs in the private sector.

Anguish also expressed his desire to be a visible MP within the riding itself during those times when Parliament is not in session.

He intends to mount an active race and expects his campaign will focus on the urban areas in the Battlefords and Lloydminster, but he expects to make trips to the rural areas as well.

“We’ll spend our money wisely and do the things we have to do in the last few weeks in the campaign,” said Anguish.

Anguish said his campaign will be setting up a campaign office on the 1200 block of 100th Street and that will be up and running very soon.

He has also expressed interest in being involved in the all-candidates forums for the electoral district.

The Battlefords Chamber of Commerce has scheduled their forum for Monday at 7 p.m. at Third Avenue United Church in North Battleford.

debate, I’ll be at the debate,” Anguish said.

Anguish’s entry, as well as scheduling of all-candidates meetings for North Battleford and Lloydminster, has provided a spark to what to this point had been a relatively sleepy race in Battlefords-Lloydminster.

The news of Anguish’s entry came just hours before major news broke from the NDP campaign, with word that Sandra Arias had withdrawn as their nominee.

Commentary

Governments have fallen in love with digital

By Jordan Twiss

Shellbrook Chronicle

In recent years, the federal government has often been criticized for what’s seen by the opposition and the general public as a brazen and shameless use of public money to promote its own policies.

Given the price tag associated with the omnipresent “Economic Action Plan” campaign — $21 million in 2011-12, and a further $14.9 million in 2013-14, according to annual reports from the department of Public Works and Government Services — it’s easy to see where these critics are coming from.

“The government is moving away from advertising what they do and offer, to this kind of broad brush branding that ‘Canada is great,’” said John Hinds, president and CEO of Newspapers Canada. “An example of this is the Canada’s Economic Action Plan [campaign]. It was this idea that government is good and government is there.”

In 2013-14 alone, the same government ad spend report shows the Government of Canada spent more than $56.8 million on advertising (excluding production and commissions, which bring the total up to $75.2 million).

Meanwhile, the total ad spend figure over the past five years (thanks in part to a massive post-recession $114 million ad blitz in 2009-10) is closer to the $500 million mark.

Apart from funding the federal government’s “Economic Action Plan” campaign, Canadian taxpayers foot the bill for an $8.2 million “Responsible Resource Development” campaign, in which the government promoted its improvements to environmental regulations. The feds also spent about $7 million touting their own tax cuts, and urging Canadians to take advantage of them.

Perhaps this is why Canadians and the media were incredulous when Prime Minister Stephen Harper used taxpayer savings as a justification for launching the 2015 federal election in August, making it one of the longest election campaigns in Canadian history.

Whether or not they were aware Canadians pay for the majority of campaign advertising, or that a longer campaign meant increased spending limits for the parties, Canadians remained skeptical of a prime minister who has been so liberal with taxpayer dollars when it comes to self-congratulation and attack ads.

But aside from questioning what the federal government has been advertising, the latest federal government ad spend report from Newspapers Canada calls into question its means of advertising — in particular, the lack of advertising dollars being directed towards community newspapers.

Questions about media use, like those about the Conservatives’ “excessive” spending on advertising, are nothing new for a prime minister who is also often accused of attempting to “control the message.”

According to the government’s breakdown of its federal ad spending, only $4.3 million of the $56.8 million spent on advertising in 2013-2014 was directed towards newspapers. This represents 7.6 per cent of all media spending.

Breaking this down further, daily newspaper advertising totaled $2.2 million, while $1.2 million was spent on weekly official language publications, ethnic publications and aboriginal publications.

Lastly, a paltry $867,153 went to community newspapers. With about 850 community newspapers being published across Canada, this means the federal government spent, on average, only $1,021 in each of Canada’s local community newspapers in 2013-14.

“At a time when newspapers are facing big challenges, [the federal] government has gone and spent a bunch of money in places like California ... with limited results,” said Hinds. “We talk about disengaged citizenry and voters. But it’s really easy to further disengagement when citizens don’t know what [government is] doing on a day-to-day level.”

Though the government’s overall TV spend was down in the 2013-14 fiscal year, advertising on TV still totalled $26.7 million, accounting for 46 per cent of all media spending. Elsewhere, radio and Internet saw significant increases in spending, with the former receiving an 82 per cent increase to total $6.8 million and the latter seeing a 30 per cent jump in spending to total $15.5 million.

According to Newspapers Canada’s report, Internet spending has gone from less than one per cent in the 2002-03 fiscal year to 27 per cent in 2013-2014, and these increases have been primarily at the expense of advertising in newspapers.

Hinds says that this growing trend is indicative of a government that has “fallen madly in love with digital.” He adds that, on the surface, digital makes sense because, unlike automobile companies, the government can’t quantify returns on its investments in advertising.

The Shifting Winds But it’s not just that the federal government’s preferred media has changed. There has also been a dramatic shift in its strategy for disseminating important information through paid public notices and this change is being imitated by some provincial governments.

Rather than paying for ad space in newspapers, governments have sharply increased the number of press releases they issue. This

is reflected in a two per cent decrease in federal spending on public notices in newspapers, as total spending for 2013-14 fell to $3.4 million.

According to Newspapers Canada, many of these press releases, like those that followed the launch of the federal government’s income splitting and enhanced childcare benefit policies, are public notices masquerading as news items. Furthermore, many of these releases remain paid public notices on other media, leaving community newspapers to bear the brunt of the federal government’s attempts to reduce their ad spend.

In its report, Newspapers Canada also notes a growing push from some levels of government to reduce advertising costs by eliminating the legal requirement that public notices be published in printed newspapers.

Instead, these notices would be published only online.

While this might translate to a financial savings, Hinds argues it comes at the cost of having the public notice serve its purpose, which is to inform citizens of the local issues that matter to them.

“In many cases, they are the most vulnerable populations, or the populations that the government is trying to reach,” he said. “In terms of reaching citizens in a local community, the newspaper is by far the best bet.

In many communities, it’s the only bet.”

The Case For Print

Those who follow the media industry with any interest would perhaps see justification for the government’s growing investment in digital advertising. After all, the rise of the Internet has had media gurus sounding the death knell for the print industry for years.

Despite some declines in ad revenue

Becky Doig Editor

Alana Schweitzer Publisher

and circulation, research done by Totum Research on behalf of Newspapers Canada, and by Newspaper Audience Databank Inc. (NADBank), suggest newspapers remain strong when it comes to readership.

Using data collected in 2014, both firms found that more than 70 per cent of Canadian adults, and more than 75 per cent of women, continue to read community newspapers. In rural communities with limited access to other media, this number is likely even higher.

Additionally, NADbank found that, through print and digital, newspapers are reaching about 70 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 34, dispelling the common belief newspapers are only of interest to older Canadians.

But it’s not just a matter of readership levels and demographic reach. The effectiveness of newspapers is reflected in the attitudes of their readers.

For instance, Totum’s online survey data shows nearly 60 per cent of Canadians feel community newspapers are the most appropriate advertising medium for information about federal government programs and service, while more than 50 per cent said they rely on community newspapers for this information.

Moreover, in the 2013 Connecting to Canadians with Community Newspapers survey, advertisements, flyers and inserts were the second most common reason respondents gave for reading their community newspapers.

“There’s really linkage to show that a strong community newspaper is indicative of strong trading communities,” said Hinds.

“Newspapers are the real catalyst for that.

If you lose a newspaper, you really lose an economic community.”

Maybe oil has been the diversification all along One of the contentious issues in this federal election has been our country’s economic reliance on oil.

Now oil is in the tank, price wise, some people are questioning if it was so wise to put so much of our economy in this fickle industry.

Indeed, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair said, “Stephen Harper hasn’t just put all our eggs in one basket – he’s dropped the basket.”

That’s a curious notion. The implication here is we depend so much on oil now, when it drops, the whole economy drops.

Therefore one would infer we shouldn’t have so much of our economy dependent on oil.

We’ve heard this song before. In Saskatchewan, since the province’s founding, the key industry has always been wheat. King wheat. We’re the breadbasket, they said. Well that’s great. What happens when world markets don’t want to pay more than a pittance, when rail or dockworkers go on strike? What about when wheat midge decimates crops?

Diversify, we were told.

Different crops – canola, faba beans, lentils, canary

Gov’ts in love with digital Contined from Page 4 Hinds adds there are also reasons to question the notion that media like television and the Internet automatically generate the most reach.

“It’s great to talk about online, but 20 to 30 per cent of Canadians aren’t online.

There’s whole groups of people that don’t watch TV, listen to radio, or go online,” he said.

Totum’s research supports this argument. In a fall 2014 survey, Totum found more than 25 per cent of Canadians don’t use social media, a tool that has become increasingly popular for governments.

Additionally, those who do use it are far more interested in communicating with others and sharing pictures or videos, than they are in looking at ads.

“The newspaper is not just a fleeting glimpse. You can clip it, you can phone or you can go online,” said Hinds. “Nobody’s saying that government shouldn’t be carrying out its business online. But newspapers are the most effective vehicle to drive people online.”

Looking forward, Hinds says that Newspapers Canada isn’t looking for special treatment for the print industry, or a handout from the federal government.

Rather, he’s more interested in seeing the federal government reverse its trend of focusing on brand building and return to advertising its products and services.

Association 2012 Columnist of the Year seed – anything but wheat.

So we have, and we’ve had some success in that regards. But it’s still farming, and drought, flood, pestilence, hail or frost all put the crop at risk. And since farming is so much more efficient, with giant tractors, air seeders and combines, hardly any people are needed to farm anymore, so a lot of people needed to find other work.

What about mining?

We developed, in Saskatchewan, a world-leading potash sector. In Alberta, they mine for oil, in these things called the oilsands.

Hey, it’s not wheat.

Canada’s economy has, for generations, been dependent upon industries like agriculture, forestry, mining, fishing and manufacturing. We’ve already talked about the perils of agriculture. What happens when softwood lumber policies and a shift to paperless offices shut down mills across the country? When was the last time you heard of a new forestry-related

mill opening, anywhere in the country?

What about when the cod disappear? And finally, when the big automakers shut down factories in Ontario and reopen in Mexico, what then? There’s hardly any auto sector left in this country compared to a few decades ago.

Yet it was precisely then we started seeing a diversification in this country, not to different crops, but to a much more powerful industry – oil. My stepdad worked in Fort McMurray in the 1970s when the oilsands were first being developed. This was an entirely new industry. No one had done this before. Conventional oil production, at the time, was thought to be doomed to wither and die (remember “peak oil?”).

The oilsands allowed us to exploit what was hitherto a non-factor. Now it’s the third largest reserves of petroleum in the world.

Similarly, Newfoundland was the economic basket case since it joined confed-

eration due to its reliance on fishing. Offshore oil development, from just a handful of platforms, mind you, made Newfoundland a have province.

Diversification? What did we have left when the local pulp mill closed, the last cod boat tied up to the wharf and the last Sterling truck rolled off the line?

Thank God we did have the petroleum industry to buoy this economy. We can’t all work at Starbucks or Tim Hortons. Every Canadian can’t work in the service industry. The oil industry has been the diversification from the drawers of water and hewers of wood stereotype we needed, as those sectors collapsed. Oil is what has kept the people, and the province, of Newfoundland and Labrador afloat. Oil is what has built

Calgary and Edmonton into million-people-plus cities.

Was it wrong to develop the most valuable, versatile, sought after commodity on the planet, one that we have more of than almost anyone else?

Or should we just leave it in the ground, and hope something better will come along?

Grave relocation at B’ford cemetery begins

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

The relocation of a number of at-risk graves in the Battleford Cemetery is in progress.

The graves being moved are among those at risk from slope instability in the northwest corner of the cemetery, which is perched along the bank of the North Saskatchewan River valley.

With the approval of Battleford town council, the relocation of the graves is being undertaken by Eternal Memories Funeral Service and Crematorium, a local company.

Eternal Memories has “assembled a team that’s very experienced in this type of work,” said Mayor Derek Mahon at the meeting where the work was approved. “They’ve had some experience of this in the past, a team of individuals who have worked in cemetery

ongoing maintenance for a number of years, so we are looking forward to working with them on this project.”

Monday, Mahon said the project is going well and that some of the graves would be relocated to a section in the southwest of the cemetery and others to a section in the southeast area.

He said the relocations are being done in a respectful manner and said any affected family members with questions or concerns were encouraged to contact the Town.

The graves affected are mainly those of pioneers of the area and North West Mounted Police members who died in the 1800s to early 1900s.

Arias drops out as NDP candidate in Battlefords-Lloydminster Cost of lengthy campaign cited

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The election in Battlefords-Lloydminster received another surprise Tuesday with news Sandra Arias has withdrawn as the NDP candidate for Battlefords-Lloydminster.

The stunning announcement was made on her Facebook candidate page Tuesday night and in that announcement she made it known the financial pressures of running a campaign were the reason for the decision.

Her NDP candidates’ page was down completely

as of Tuesday night.

Arias’s withdrawal has left the local NDP scrambling with just four weeks remaining before the Oct. 19 vote.

However, it does appear the party has a replacement candidate in the works. According to an email from Arias to our newsroom, Glenn Tait is taking her place as the NDP candidate.

Tait was the party’s nominee in the 2011 race.

But the NDP had yet to make an official announcement of a new candidate as of Wednesday morning. As well, any new NDP candidate will need to file nomination papers in time for Monday’s deadline to be on the ballot.

The news about Arias’s sudden departure from the race has been the latest surprise in a campaign that has seen more than its share of twists and turns.

Earlier this year, the Liberals nominated North Bat-

tleford city councillor Ray Fox, who later dropped out due to a controversial social media post and was replaced

by Larry Ingram.

As well, just hours before news broke about Arias’s departure, high-profile former NDP MP and MLA Doug Anguish announced he was entering the race as an independent and would be filing nomination papers.

The other candidates are Mikaela Tenkink of the Green Party and incumbent Conservative Agriculture and Agri-Foods minister Gerry Ritz, whose nomination has been in place since last year. As of Wednesday both Ritz and Ingram had filed their nominations with Elections Canada and are confirmed to be on the ballot.

The following is the statement released by Arias announcing her withdrawal from the race: Friends, family, fellow NDP,

It is with great disappointment and sadness that I announce my withdrawal from the 2015 Federal Election. Simply put, the financial strain of a historically long election has been just too much to bear for myself and my family.

I am so thankful for the support and commitment of the surrounding First Nations, specifically all the chief and councils of BATC, and the independent First Nations around the Battlefords-Lloydminster riding.

Further, ... all those who have stood up and proudly lifted the NDP banner in wholehearted support.

It is an exciting time for our riding as many of the First Nations have pledged to “get out the Vote 2015”!

As I exit from the election race, I want to encourage everyone who has committed to vote to maintain that commitment to the NDP. Vote for the candidate who will be taking my place, as this is a difficult position to hold.

This riding can change, if you want it to change, into a more representative and agreeable riding where divisions can be closed and relationships built. It must!

Let’s keep moving forward and let’s take the NDP all the way to a majority in Ottawa on Oct. 19, 2015. Hiy Hiy!

Sod turned for new Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

After years of waiting, the sod has finally been turned to begin construction of the new Saskatchewan Hospital and integrated correctional facility.

The sod-turning event took place Monday afternoon and was attended by officials from Prairie North Health Region and from the government of Saskatchewan, with seven cabinet ministers in attendance.

One of those ministers was Herb Cox, MLA for the Battlefords, who noted that in

his duties he had the fortune of attending many announcements in the Battlefords representing the government.

But he described this announcement of start of construction for the new Saskatchewan Hospital as “probably the Godzilla of all announcements.”

Also attending were a large number of guests including civic leaders Mayor Ian Hamilton of North Battleford and Mayor Derek Mahon of Battleford, as well as hospital staff and patients from the existing facility.

The announcement ceremony took place in front of

the land where the new facility will be built, to the northwest of the existing Saskatchewan Hospital that has been in operation for more than 100 years.

That is where construction will be taking place over the next 33 months.

The existing 156-bed facility will be replaced by a new 188-bed facility that includes an additional inte-

grated 96-room secure unit for male and female offenders living with mental health issues.

The new integrated facility is being built as a P3 model. This will include a 33-year contract with Access Prairies Partnership not just to develop and build the facility, but also to maintain it.

According to the province the total investment will be

about $407 million on both the construction (estimated at $222 million) and also the maintenance side over the 33-year period.

In speaking to reporters Health Minister Dustin Duncan said this should mean “after the 33-year period the facility will be like new.”

However, the minister notes “it’s still going to be our officials and our staff”

within the facility.

The health minister is looking forward to seeing the project completed.

“People here in the community can now see that this project is a reality and it’s going to go forward,” said Duncan. “Three years from now we’ll have the grand opening of the brand-new facility to replace the 100-year-old Saskatchewan Hospital.”

Budget process starting

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The process of preparing for the 2016 budget is just getting underway at City Hall in North Battleford.

City Finance Director David Gillan updated council on the expected timeline for the budget process at the city’s Planning Committee meeting Monday.

Directors of the various departments are completing their budget templates and a first draft of numbers was to be done in late September or early October for the city manager’s review. Internal one-onone meetings were to follow in October with the various directors.

Throughout November, administration will put together the official budget docu-

ment. The draft will be reviewed internally by administration in the last week of November and Gillan indicated the budget will be presented to the full council Dec. 2.

The plan is for budget deliberations to happen Dec. 7 to 11 with final approval by council at the Dec. 14 meeting.

Gillan informed council he sees one evening of the deliberations being devoted to grant presentations by external organizations, with the other two or three nights of deliberations devoted to the City’s departments.

There is also to be discussion of the underground pipes and roads work plans, with City Manager Jim Puffalt indicating specific streets will be presented to council during deliberations.

Officials with the City of North Battleford have had no end of troubles with the F.E. Holliday plant last month.

The well-publicized issues in August — one of which resulted in a precautionary boil-water advisory for the city — were a focus of a report by City Director of Operations Stewart Schafer at Monday’s Planning Committee meeting at City Hall.

The incidents had also been discussed at the City’s monthly Water Committee meeting held earlier this month.

There had been two incidents at the plant during August. The one that prompted the drinking water advisory happened Aug. 11 when a process error occurred at F.E. Holliday Water Treatment Plant, and partially untreated water missed one of the treatment processes. Staff at the plant shut it down immediately and the precautionary drinking water advisory was issued.

Schafer reported an independent investigation showed that the City’s potable water was always safe and the partially treated water never left the water treatment plant.

“The water was safe at all times,” said Schafer.

“The UV system never did shut off. It was getting the ‘kill’ it needed. It was the staff that shut the plant down. Needless to say, we did follow the Water Security’s recommendations and brought the chlorine levels to very high level, and did all the testing they wanted.”

While the plant is able to treat the water from the river so it is safe to drink for

the public, Schafer did note there is contamination such as cryptosporidium in the river itself.

“To put it bluntly, our water is safe, but if you’re going swimming in the river keep your mouth shut,” said Schafer.

The second incident happened Aug. 25 and was the more serious incident with respect to the plant’s ongoing operation.

A “water hammer” incident took place at the plant on that date. A water hammer is basically described as a back pressure of water at extreme force.

According to Schafer, it travelled down the main distribution line to the F.E. Holliday plant and hit its distribution pump, causing serious damage to the distribution header. One of the UV reactors was possibly damaged as well.

The amount of water the plant was able to treat and pump was impacted seriously, with plant output reduced to about 25 per cent of normal, which resulted in curtailing of watering of the parks.

Work has been done to deal with the problem and there have been some temporary repairs. Schafer reported the plant would be brought back up to 40 per cent as of this week. Final repairs are expected to be completed by April of next year, and Schafer expects the plant to be back to 100 per cent by then.

In response to a question from Councilor Kelli Hawtin about fire levels, Schafer noted the 25 per cent output was indeed maintaining the city’s fire levels. In fact, “we are gaining,” he said, because the city was approaching the end of the year when less watering is being done.

Battleford administrator announces retirement

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

A plate on the inside of the door to Battleford’s new fire engine is perhaps looking forward with some wishful thinking, says Mayor Derek Mahon, who pointed it out to others inspecting the truck Monday evening at Town Hall.

New fire engine centre of attention

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

The big news at Monday’s Battleford town council meeting was the arrival of the new fire truck.

Fire Chief Larry Gabruch and several members of the department brought it around to Town Hall for councillors and administrators to inspect.

Just as the sun went down, a group gathered outside Town Hall to admire the new engine. Councillor Gordon Yarde and Town Administrator Sheryl Ballendine took turns climbing up to the driver’s seat. Ballendine, having just officially announced her impending retirement, was encouraged to sound the siren.

The new engine will replace the Battleford Fire Department’s main responding engine, which is now 25 years old.

Battleford town council approved the purchase of the new truck worth just under a half million dollars in December of 2014, using reserves that had been built up for just that purpose.

The lowest quote was from Fort Garry Fire Trucks of Winnipeg, Man. at $491,182. About $203,000 of that, which paid for the chassis to be manufactured in the United States, was paid out almost immediately as council was concerned about the continuing drop in Canada’s value against the U.S. dollar.

Monday, Mayor Derek Mahon said they

saved many thousands of dollars by acting quickly as the dollar has dropped even further since.

Firefighters were at the fire hall Friday night and Saturday training on the new vehicle.

The new unit has two types of systems to deliver foam to a class A fire, which is one involving combustible materials such as wood, cloth and paper, trash and plastics.

It has an injection system like the one already on two of the department’s engines, plus an additional system, known as a CAF system (compressed air foam).

Town councillor Ames Leslie, who is also a member of the fire department, told fellow councillors the new compressed air foam system will use half the amount of water and foam.

The new engine is similar to the engine recently acquired by North Battleford, but one size smaller, said Deputy Fire Chief Geoff Thompson.

At the time of the order, Gabruch said the shorter version was important considering the number of cul-de-sacs already in the community, with more to come.

The Town of Battleford started advertising for a new administrator about a year ago, knowing Sheryl Ballendine had retirement in mind. Monday, she made her decision to retire official.

Town councillors received a letter from Ballendine stating her retirement date will be Dec. 31, 2015, however she is also entitled to some holiday time before that date so her last day in the office is as yet unknown.

Ballendine said she will have been working at Town Hall for 34 and a half years by her retirement date. She began working for the Town as receptionist in 1981. Alex Dillabough was mayor at the time.

When then administrator Garry Gelech moved on in 1985, Ballendine became assistant administrator and in 1993, with Roger Huel moving on, she became administrator.

As an administrator, Ballendine worked with four mayors, Gary MacArthur, Gail Sack, Chris Odishaw and the current mayor, Derek Mahon.

Over those years she has also worked with 19 different members of council.

As for staff, she said, “I haven’t put that list together yet, but I am going to do it before I go, just for myself.”

Mayor Mahon thanked Ballendine for 34.5 years of “extremely dedicated service to the Town of Battleford.”

He thanked her for all her time, the overtime, the meetings she attended and for working with the public.

“In 34.5 years you run into a lot of situations that present themselves on a day-to-day basis,” he said. “You don’t know what to expect next some days.”

Ballendine laughed, “Conrad’s learning that,” referring to assistant administrator Conrad Olson, who joined the town this spring.

In her letter, Ballendine wrote, “In my heart Battleford is my home and will be forever.”

She thanked the present council and past councils for the support they have given her.

“Town council and staff have become my second family, so to speak, and saying goodbye will be difficult, but at the same time I am looking forward to the next phase of life.”

While it wasn’t clear what her last day of work would be, Ballendine said she would be back for the annual Christmas party. “A last hurrah,” she laughed.

WDM spreads new look throughout the B’fords Staff The Western Development Museum has a new brand and it’s being shared with organizations and businesses throughout the c o m m u n it y, including the councils of both the City of North Battleford and the Town of Battleford Monday evening.

Councillors were gifted with packages containing branded coffee cups and other goodies, including an admission token good at any one of the four Western Development Museums in the province.

In consultation with WDM stakeholders, including museum members and volunteers, a new logo and a new tagline have been de-

veloped – “Saskatchewan Inspired.”

“The WDM expects that this exciting new brand will help to emphasize the distinctiveness of our museum,” states an announcement issued by the CEO of the provincial organization, Joan Champ.

M o n d ay, Bat tleford and North Battleford councillors were visited

by Cheryl Stewart-Rahm, programs and volunteer co-ordinator for North Battleford’s museum, and Karen Richardson, administrative assistant and gift shop manager, respectively, who talked about the “vintage modern” look that has been selected

for the WDM’s new logo.

The vintage feel reflects the many artifacts, while modern evokes the museums’ current approach, they explained, saying the logo has been carefully handcrafted to communicate a fun and welcoming feeling, identical to the visitor experience at the museum.

According to the CEO’s statement, “The new tagline ‘Saskatchewan Inspired’ works because the museum is focused on the unique history of Saskatchewan.

The WDM believes that all visitors are inspired by the Saskatchewan exhibits and programs presented at the museum.

By telling ‘Saskatchewan Inspired’ stories, the museum celebrates artifacts that represent the innovation, creativity and resourcefulness that are so much a part of Saskatchewan’s heritage.”

CUPE to work with PNHR to mitigate budget cut

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

A group gathered last week for a town hall meeting on privatization in health care were warned funding cuts were on the way – and that warning has material-

ized.

The warning came from president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 5111, Brian Manegre.

He told about 30 people attending the Battleford stop on a Council of Canadians provincial tour that, in ad-

dition to privatization, the main topic of the meeting, budget cuts threaten the quality health care.

Rumour had it that Prairie North Health Region was being directed to find $650,000 in savings in the current budget, said Manegre.

“Less than three months ago, I had a meeting with the CEO, the budget was set and we were going to have a balanced budget with no cuts,” he said. “They actually going to increase staffing in a few areas and things were looking better for Prairie North.”

He was expecting confirmation of the rumour in a meeting with the health region that coming Friday.

This week, Manegre told the Regional Optimist, “I was correct that the government has reduced our funding and that Prairie North is going to have to find some dollars or some savings in order to make a balanced budget.”

He said, “CUPE has agreed that we would work with them where we can to try and meet the needs of the region and clients and see where we can find efficiencies together.”

Manegre points out CUPE, the region and the

CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS LLP

government are partners in an agreement signed approximately a year ago to share a commitment to patient-first care and health system transformation.

“With our last round of bargaining, CUPE along with [five] regions and the government signed a partnership agreement and in that we committed to more open discussions within the region and to try and work together, rather than a typical union employer roles that have been happening in the past,” he said.

The aim is to work together on finding efficiencies and to discuss issues rather than just argue over them, he said.

“We’ll see what we can jointly come up with and where we can support each other,” said Manegre. “The union has agreed that we would support some basic statements out there to our members that we agree with the employer we need to find the efficiencies. We need the members’ support to meet these needs.”

For now, he said, the good news is CEO David Fan has indicated there are no plans for layoffs or reductions in beds at this time. He expects, however that there may be vacancies that will now not be filled, given the government’s timing of reducing funding midstream in the budget.

“There are probably a number of vacancies we will see not filled for the next period of time, but I have no idea which ones those will be.”

Manegre also said, “This is the first that I’ve ever

heard of that, in the middle of the year, the budget has been reduced. I’m sure other government agencies are doing the same. With our downturn in the economy, my understanding is potash and oil revenues are really in the tank right now so that’s a big impact, and the fires up north were a big impact on government revenue. Those are some of the issues I’ve heard from the government … so they are looking at whatever else we can do to reduce spending.”

One of the issues he expects to address with the region in upcoming meetings is that of overtime, which has been a concern to the province and its health regions for some years, prompted by a shortage of staff.

Manegre would like to see more relief staff hired, as overtime shifts often accumulate because shortstaffed departments run out of available relief workers.

He admits recruitment is a problem, especially for highly-skilled personnel, but he has some ideas to offer in that area.

While Manegre expects working with the region to meet the challenges of reduced funding will find ways to meet the current crisis, he sees no guarantees that next year won’t bring yet another.

“If the oil and the potash doesn’t come back up I don’t know what the government is going to do with health care in the [next] budget,” he says. “It raises more concerns for me again.”

Manegre says he is happy that at this point in time the health region does not want

resort to layoffs or reduce any beds.

“Prairie North hasn’t done that since we became Prairie North, actually,” he points out.

The last big shut down came just after the Fyke Commission on Medicare, 2001, came out, he says.

“They shut down the nursing home in Paradise Hill … there was a large number of layoffs there and a big impact on the community and we don’t want to go there again.”

He says Prairie North has had only limited reductions since then, and has been able to balance the budget.

“I feel very lucky in many ways in this region.

We haven’t really run a deficit budget ever,” he says.

“David has done very well in keeping things on track and actually having some surpluses in the past and that’s gone a long way in upgrading our buildings … and doing some innovative work at times.”

At this point, he says, the best news is that CUPE is committed to work with the region where it can.

“Hopefully we can get on a little different footing and work through some issues and help out.”

He adds, “There is a considerable amount of money that is required to be saved in health care in the province, period. Prairie North?

We are probably one of the luckier areas, but we’re also not the biggest region. Saskatoon and Regina are big regions and they’re definitely having more struggles than we are.”

1913 fire and police department communications

By Harvey Cashmore Archives Volunteer

In 2015 most people carry sophisticated communication devices. The communication equipment for North Battleford City Police and Fire Department in 1913 was not quite so advanced.

In 1913 Saskatchewan Government Telephones had a telephone office at 1172 100th (Main) St. upstairs above a drug store. To make a call you would turn a crank on the side of the telephone signaling the telephone operator. The operator would say, “number please” and she would ring the telephone you were calling.

Only a few residents had telephones at this time and not all businesses had a telephone. The telegraph was used for much of the long distance communications.

Most telegrams were about 10 words in length. The telegrams would be delivered to

Quill Lakes diversion not going ahead Staff

The Kutawagan Creek Diversion Project for the Quill Lakes is not going ahead.

The announcement was made by the province Thursday.

The project was aimed at reducing water levels at Quill Lake by diverting water from Kutawagan Creek away from Quill Lake to Last Mountain Lake. Survey and design work was undertaken by the Water Security Agency to assess the feasibility and the Water Security Agency held extensive public consultations with stakeholders, including four public open house meetings.

In a statement, Battlefords MLA and minister for the Water Security Agency Herb Cox cited the concerns expressed from the public.

“The feedback from stakeholder and public consultations is important and we have heard the concerns on this issue and have decided not to proceed with this project,” said Cox. “The Water Security Agency will continue to look at other potential options for the situation at the Quill Lakes.”

The plan now is for the Water Security Agency to review possible alternatives around the Quill Lakes. “We are committed to working together with all stakeholders on any other projects that may be considered in the future,” Cox said.

According to the province the alternatives could include, but are not limited to, application of the riskbased drainage regulations in the new Agricultural Water Management Strategy.

Sept. 11, 1913, Fire Chief Shaw reports the City of North Battleford had installed 17 fireboxes with alarm systems around the city. If you had a fire you would run to the alarm box, break the glass in front of the box and pull the hook all the way down. This would send a signal to the fire hall. The signal provided the number of the fire alarm box. Anyone who tripped the alarm would remain at the alarm box until the Fire Department arrived so they could obtain the location of the fire.

Early on, Coby Downs made it known he would be a force to be reckoned with. He scored on the power play at 4:57 to give the North Stars the early lead, with Dustin Gorgi and Matt Havens assisting.

Cheveldayoff attends 2015 Young Star Classics in Okanagan

By Vivian Barwell

Freelance Reporter

Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was in Penticton Sept. 11 through 14 to attend the 2015 Young Stars Classic at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vancouver Canucks hosted the event.

Cheveldayoff, his staff

and his NHL counterparts say they appreciate the opportunity to witness highcalibre hockey prospects compete for roster spots at this fifth annual event.

Jim Benning, GM Vancouver Canucks, informed the audience through a public announcement that since its inception more than 80 players have gone on to play at the NHL level.

“It is about providing the young prospects aged 18 to

22 with an opportunity to showcase their skills, talent, teamwork and sportsmanship,” commented Cheveldayoff during an interview Sept. 13 following the Winnipeg-Vancouver game. He commended organizers on providing an excellent format to develop and assess prospects in a competitive game situation.

“Players are building that bond together,” said Cheveldayoff. “When players play

Humboldt ended up outshooting the North Stars 26-24 on the night, but Ryan Rewers stopped 24 shots en route to the win. The three stars for the Battlefords were Downs, Gorgi and Sych.

The win keeps the North Stars firmly on top of the newly-renamed Finning Division, so named after Finning’s purchase of Kramer, Ltd. this year. After Tuesday’s action the North Stars had six points compared to Humboldt’s 3, Notre Dame’s 2 and Kindersley’s zero.

amongst their peers, you start to see who are the leaders and who likes to take on different roles.”

“But certainly, for some of the kids turning pro, I think it’s a real important first step for getting ready for this season and learning the expectations,” added Cheveldayoff indicating there were a few prospects who certainly caught the eye of his staff.

He continued to explain that, at this stage, these young men are beginning to narrow their career focus.

Penticton was one of a number of rookie evaluation tournaments held throughout North America whereby rookies were evaluated before being cast for a possibility in the AHL and NHL. Continued on Page 15

Winnipeg Jets GM began career in Blaine Lake Continued from Page 14 Cheveldayoff indicated the only downfall is that the event commences during the college season thus eliminating a chance to see some of their prospects who are still in college.

Penticton has great hockey history and passion, which is clearly displayed by the support for its local Penticton Vees, which is a junior “A” hockey team in the British Columbia Hockey League. Notable Penticton Vees alumni include National Hockey League leaders Duncan Keith, Brett Hull, Paul Kariya, Andy Moog, Zac Dalpe and Beau Bennett to name a few.

The Jets opened the event against the Calgary Flames Sept. 11, faced the Vancouver Canucks Sept. 13 and the Edmonton Oilers Sept. 14.

The Jets roster features a host of top prospects that includes goalies Connor Hellebuyck and Eric Comrie, defencemen Josh Morrissey and Jan Kostalek and forwards Nikolaj Ehlers, Nic Petan, Brendan Lemieux and Andrew Copp, among others.

Kevin Cheveldayoff was born in 1970 to Alex and Lucy Cheveldayoff of Blaine Lake. His passion for hock-

ey was nurtured at a young age and, as he played minor hockey, it became evident that his ability was not just a learned skill but was also a gifted talent.

This ability provided an opportunity for advancement and, by age 15, Cheveldayoff moved on to continue his ice hockey career with the Saskatoon Blazers Midget AAA. Continued dedication and encouragement from his family would earn him a position in the Western Hockey League and he relocated to Brandon, Man., to play for the Brandon Wheat Kings. While with the Wheat Kings, Cheveldayoff received many awards.

Cheveldayoff spent the remainder of his teen years as a Wheat Kings’ defenceman before being drafted in the first round, 16th overall, by the New York Islanders in the 1988 NHL entry draft.

He played defenceman at the junior level with the Capital District Islanders of the AHL. He turned pro at age 20 and played for four years with the NYI organization.

A serious knee injury prevented him from continuing with the physical aspect of his sport of passion and ended his career after five

championships as a coach and an executive. Seven of the 12 teams he has assisted in building have cracked the 100-point mark in the regular season.

He held the GM of the Chicago Wolves position until Aug. 4, 2009, when he was named the assistant general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks. A highlight of that two-year term was the winning the Stanley Cup. Cheveldayoff was named executive vice-president and general manager of the National Hockey League’s newest team, Winnipeg Jets in June 2011 after the Atlanta franchise was transferred to Winnipeg.

Starting a franchise has been a lot of work and Cheveldayoff ensured the foundation for the future was laid correctly. Last season, the Jets earned a 37-35-10 record and a 0.512 winning percentage. In Cheveldayoff’s three seasons with the team, the Jets have earned an overall record of 98-9123 and a 0.516 winning percentage.

Raw food chef Chris Kendall. Photos submitted

Staff A chance meeting with an unusual chef has resulted in a plan for a three-day food event in the Battlefords organized by a John Paul II Collegiate teacher.

The chef is a raw food chef named Chris Kendall.

Teacher Rhea Good met him at a dinner party she attended in Saskatoon.

“He did the food prep and we sat around the kitchen island, entertained by his story-telling, nutritional information and the resulting conversation,” says Good. “ “We have kept in touch after that dinner party and we made a plan for him to come to North Battleford for three days, Sept. 30, Oct, 1 and 2.”

Kendall will be the guest chef for a Raw Food Dinner hosted at Blend Wednesday, Sept. 30. (Ticket sales

for the event will serve as the fundraiser to make it all happen. Contact Blend at

306-937-0000 to see if there are any tickets left.)

Raw food chef to entertain and educate Continued from Page 17 Thursday, Oct. 1 and Friday Oct. 2, he will be hosted

by John Paul II Collegiate serving as a guest lecturer and yoga instructor in home economics and physical education classes.

What sets him apart from traditional chefs, says Good, is that he doesn’t “cook.” All his recipes are for serving food in its natural raw state.

Kendall is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, 100 per cent raw and transitional lifestyle coach, Kendalini Yoga creator and raw food chef. He shares his passion for what he does through running retreats, lecturing at festivals, singing raw parody songs, nutrition consultation services, ebooks, his new free raw recipes app and his budding vision the TRA Dream, a non-profit charity focused on creating donation-based holistic healing, yoga, permaculture, educational retreat centres around the world.

Good says his raw recipe ebooks and free raw recipes app are considered to be some of the best in the raw world and he is often brought in as the head chef at international festivals. Paying it forward Chris offers all of

his ebooks and services on a “by donation” basis.

The former amateur skateboarder’s own nutritional journey is an interesting tale, says Good, in-

fluenced by his own health problems, reading a few key books, and meeting Dr. Douglas Graham, a raw foodist.

“His resume includes

serving as a speaker, head chef, and yoga teacher at four international food festivals. He has also led eight raw food retreats at international locations. His us-

er-friendly website, www. therawadvantage.com, is a welcoming source of information and instructional videos to expand anyone’s food prep repertoire,” says

Good.

When he’s not elsewhere in the world, his home base is in Saskatoon and his grandmother lives in North Battleford.

Children’s Wish Foundation lottery deadline draws near Staff Gay Oldhaver of the Saskatchewan chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation says this year’s lottery is underway, with an early bird deadline of Oct. 1 and a final ticket deadline of Oct. 16. The final draws for cash and prizes will be made Oct. 28. The grand prize is $1 million.

All the proceeds from the Saskatchewan chapter lottery stay in Saskatchewan and go toward making the wishes of Saskatchewan children come true.

Wishes can be granted to any child with a life-threatening or high-risk condition.

While anyone can refer a child, the child’s parents or legal guardians must agree.

Most referrals come from medical teams or family.

The organization does everything it can to make a wish come true once it has been determined a child is eligible.

Eligibility is based on diagnosis and it is not in-

clude a new population of neurological disorders, says Oldhaver.

She points out it’s important to keep pace with changes in medical world by regularly reviewing and renewing its policies regarding wish granting.

What, 20 years ago, might have been a lifethreatening or critical condition may nowadays be much less serious, she says.

The new criteria moves into a new level of chronic long term illness, such as cerebral palsy, says Oldhaver.

The expansion of criteria, of course, has opened up a greater need in funding, she adds.

The Saskatchewan Chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation has been granting wishes since 1986.

In that time, 48 wishes have been granted to children in the North Battleford area.

Three of those are still in the process, says Oldhaver.

The most recent wish to be completed in the area was

for a Turtleford child who wanted a camping trailer so she and her family could camp in the summer.

To receive a camping trailers has actually been a popular wish item, says Oldhaver.

To help make the foundation’s work more real to the public, some of the children who are granted wishes, along with their families, agree to have their stories made available.

Among those children this year is Evan V. of Denzil.

Evan is 16, a ball player and a sports enthusiast.

Cystic fibrosis is con-

stantly trying to steal Evan’s ability to breathe, so a wish that included the Hockey Hall of Fame and a weekend with the Blue Jays was the perfect way for the Children’s Wish Foundation to show the world that “this kid’s got game!”

Garrett, from Duck Lake, had a dream to be on a list of NHL stars.

When the Maple Leafs signed him to a one-day contract, he found himself surrounded by his hockey heroes, and his smile and positive attitude made him the inspirational leader of the locker room.

Self-esteem built from sections of a triangle Frequently we hear people say that they have low self-esteem or low self-value or worth. These can mean many different things to different people.

This is the lens that I view self-esteem through — it is made up of three parts: self-concept, self-efficacy, self-worth.

An individual’s self-concept is the answer to “who am I?” Usually it comprises their past, present and future traits, characteristics, performance and accomplishments.

Self-efficacy is what you can do with who I am – an understanding of whether one can succeed in particular situations, which has an impact on motivation.

Self-worth is the individual’s perceived value of what they contribute to their society, work, and family.

Self-esteem is then the combination of concept, efficacy and worth – plus feeling in control of one’s life.

spots, parts to a person that only people around them see.

One of the first things I recommend is for a person to talk to a couple people who care about them (usually parents or extended family) and learn more about themselves, their family history and what they think they will become.

Next, after learning more about “who I am” – increasing self-concept – it is then important to understand what you can do with what you know about yourself.

I have learned in my family history that only three people have lived past the age of 80 – all female. So I know I have a limited time, almost an expiry date, which helps motivate me to do things and enjoy the present moment at home and at work.

After learning who one is, what you can do with it – and if that brings motivation, it is now interpreting the perceptions about the value you can contribute to society. Perception is influenced by feedback from family, friends and society.

With all those parts combined, that makes up selfesteem.

While it is important to build self-esteem, it is even more vital to know what self-esteem is so that the smaller sections of the triangle can be built up.

ocking Hearts Together

By Josh Lockhart, MC, CCC, PHEc lockinghearts@gmail.com It is helpful to think of self-concept, efficacy and worth each as sides of a triangle, and that self-esteem is the area of the triangle. Then it is possible to see that, as someone’s concept, efficacy and worth grow, so does their self-esteem. As those three shrink, so does their self-esteem.

To help someone build their self-esteem, is not just about helping them feel good about themselves or having confidence. It starts with the Johari Window principle – helping them understand themselves. There are parts to a person only they know about and that they and the people around them know. There are also blind

As I was chatting about the reality of living with one’s adult children, I mentioned things can be 98 per cent good but sometimes that two per cent feels bigger than it is in reality.

Isn’t that the way it is with life?

I have had some frustrating days within my home daycare. They are often fueled by the fact that I am tired or distracted. When I don’t roll with the punches the way I am capable of doing, I find the kids reflect my mood. All things tolled, they aren’t any awful days.

But at the end of them, that two per cent is all that I feel.

I have come to a happy realization that my return to the daycare world is exactly where I am meant to be right now. The families who have come to me are wonderful. In reality, I need one or two more children to make this financially feasible, but the dynamics

Life

as I know it

By Colleen Crawford between the children I have are 98 per cent good. To add one more unknown to this formula could tip the balance. I like where things are at.

I believe we will focus on what we have and add more to the mix when my twoyear-olds are a little older.

The flip side to this contentment is reality. My daycare income alone does not quite pay the bills. So my extra income sources are

a necessity. I cannot afford to say “’no” to any opportunity right now. Each and every one of my extra jobs is 98 per cent good. The two per cent is the sacrifice I must make to fit all of this into a seven-day-week.

I like what I am doing.

I am content with my life.

As long as I keep my sights set on shorter (under five years) term goals, I know I have steered my life in the direction I want to go. When

I look long term, it becomes just a tad frightening.

I am 98 per cent certain it will all work out in the wash. It always does. Keep my eye on the prize and I will go where I am meant to go. It is that two per cent of fearfulness that niggles away at my sense of security, that feels bigger than it is at times.

My home life is pretty good right now. Our house is full. Three adults, a fifteen-year-old, two dogs and two cats take up a lot of space in a home and in a life. There is such a sense of harmony within all of the creatures within this 1,000-square-foot home.

How did I manage to get so lucky?

It is good 98 per cent of the time. That nasty two per cent rears its head from time to time and seeps into the contentment within these walls.

I have strong and supportive relationships within my friends and family. I am 100 per cent happy with the people I have in my life. Do I miss the idea of a foreverpartner-in-life? Possibly .5 per cent of the time. For 99.5 per cent of the time, I know my life is complete, rewarding and fulfilling just the way it is.

To bring a partnership of “forever-ness” into the mix would be beyond challenging. Compromise, in sickness and in health, for better and for worse — those are big promises. Life is safe and easy this way. It is just that .5 per cent of the time, it seems like it would be nice to have someone to hold my hand as I walk through this life.

Ninety-eight per cent is a pretty good overall average.

I’ll take it. I will savour it and be grateful for it. Life isn’t perfect and it wouldn’t be good for us if it was. We need those contrasts in life to fully appreciate what we already have.

Moby Dick of a Moth Susanne Murphy shares this image of a Big-Poplar Sphinx Moth (Pachysphinx modesta), which she describes as “the neatest bug I’ve ever seen.” Online research indicates the moth’s habitat extends north to North Dakota, but obviously its range has expanded beyond that. The moth exists in two colour forms. This photo appears to be the variety with dark grey wings. Wingspan is 13 to 15 centimetres. Hosts for the caterpillars are cottonwood, poplar and willow. The adults do not feed. Females lay eggs on leaves of the hosts. Fully-grown caterpillars pupate and over winter in shallow burrows in the ground. Photo submitted

By Sherri Solomko Correspondent

In a weekly news column I write, I refer to these daily table gatherings as part of our community culture.

Anyone who has grown up in Saskatchewan knows this to be absolutely true.

The urban dictionary refers to coffee row as “a place where groups of people, typically seniors and farmers gather to have coffee and converse about the day’s events.” The term has its origins in rural Saskatchewan and Alberta. Typically “coffee row” occurs in small town restaurants and co-ops, but the phenomena have been observed in fast food restaurants in large cities as well as any restaurant that serves “bottomless” cups of coffee and is not too strict on what some would consider “loitering.”

Today people might turn to Facebook or Twitter for a quick answer on “what kind of bug is this, or who would be the best guy to go to for a new muffler.” But it wasn’t all that many years ago, this kind of assistance was found in a place fondly referred to as “coffee row.”

Advice may be limited to a handful of local experts, however the wisdom presented and the variety of topics, all handled while enjoying a fresh cup of hot coffee, is an experience I hope is not being overtaken by the Internet.

Coffee row is a place where friends and neighbours meet almost every morning to tell stories and discuss current events in the community, in the province or in our country. It can still be a great place to help work through challenges faced on the farm, considering that often decades of farming experience are frequently sitting amongst “rowers” at these tables.

There is never a shortage of advice and I’ve heard that can be a flavour of embellishment when it comes to a golf game or fishing trip.

As kids growing up, we always understood it was our stay-at-home moms who “coffeed” each day or sev-

eral times a week to catch up on the latest happenings in town before social media and cellphones were prominent. Yet, when dad came home from work or town, we would soon learn men had as much “coffee” time as women.

I also know it was on coffee row that immediate responses to a community crisis or family need was born. Before electronic communication was part of our habits, coffee row was the place folks depended on to tell them about John Doe’s hard luck or the local rink suffering another setback that may result in closure. What would happen next was a remarkable display of “Saskatchewanism” as folks would rush to gather supporters to help wherever it was needed.

Offering to fix a collapsed roof on a community building or jumping in equipment from their farm to go help on “Joe’s” farm as he was experiencing unfortunate life circumstances.

Some refer to this daily meeting of the minds as “coffee college,” noting that all the best things in life are taught at this table. A community I used to work in would always chuckle that they needed the “dean of coffee college” to arrive before any proceedings could take place.

There isn’t a set time to arrive, there is no formal invitation, only a tradition and routine each day by those who enjoy sharing the company of others in their community over a cup of coffee.

What amazes me is no matter what side of the topic table these folks are on, you always hear a laugh, you always see smiling and everyone leaves, no matter whose side they were on, agreeing to reconvene the next day.

Their coffee might get cold but their camaraderie and friendship are always warm and inviting.

You don’t have to have a membership, anyone is free to join, and no matter the venue, there is always room for one more.

Arrangements in care of MARTENS WARMAN FUNERAL HOME (306-934-4888). ____________________________________________________ DUHAIME: July 9th, 1996- September 6, 2015. It is with broken hearts that we announce that Cody tragically passed away in his home in Kewane, IL, USA. Cody was born in Saskatoon, SK on July 9th, 1996 to parents Keith & Karen Duhaime. Cody was a joyful boy who loved exploring the family farm in Vawn, SK. He will be dearly missed by his sister Erin Duhaime of Mitchell, South Dakota, his father Keith Duhaime (Twyla Armagost) of Beaumont, AB, and his mother Karen McCullough (Chuck) and his siblings Drew & Maddison, of Allerton, IA. His special relationship to his grandparents Maurice and Sylvia Duhaime of Meota, SK and Ernest and Clara Richard of Yorkton, SK has left their hearts heavy as they struggle to say goodbye to a blossoming young man. Cody was attending Black Hawk East College pursuing a degree in Agricultural Production. When not at school Cody had the honour of being a Stock Show University Professor where he was able to pass along his vast knowledge of clipping/fitting and showing cattle. He won many national awards showing cattle. His many aunts, uncles, and cousins remember a kind hearted young man who “never met a stranger; just a friend he didn’t know yet.” For now it’s not goodbye, but “see you again”. Fly high Cody, you are greatly missed. _____________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________ CHAPMAN: In Loving Memory of Beatrice Marion Chapman (nee Bartrop) Beatrice Marion Chapman has now joined her God in everlasting life where she has been re-united with her many relatives and friends on this day.

Beatrice is at peace at last having passed on September 8th, 2015 with her loving family at her side. Beatrice was born in Cutknife, Saskatchewan on January 8th, 1935 to John Bartrop and Isabel Blackstock (both predeceased). She married Don Chapman on June 16th, 1973 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Beloved mother of Laurie Bursey, Lynn Côté (predeceased) and John Côté.

During this time Beatrice brought her grandmother from Cutknife, Saskatchewan to Lively, Ontario to stay with family members. Beatrice was far ahead of her time when it came to fashion and décor. She was renowned for her expertise which is still valued by clients she served in Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie.

Beatrice was always willing to lend a helping hand, having supported a wide variety of causes. A very special and heartfelt thank you to the wonderful nurses and staff at the Dialysis Unit over the last 10 1/2 years of caring, as well as thanks to Doctors Goluch, Dr. McDonald, Dr. Nistico and Dr. Harman as well as family physician Dr. Sharon Terada. At Beatrice’s request, a private family gathering in Sudbury and a private graveside service in Sault Ste. Marie have already taken place. Donations in Beatrice’s memory would be greatly appreciated to the Health Sciences North FoundationNephrology Unit or The Kidney Foundation of Canada. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”John 3:16.

LEGAL / PUBLIC NOTICES

VILLAGE OF MERVIN Public Notice: Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw Adoption

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council for the Village of Mervin intends to consider the adoption of a bylaw under section 35 The Planning and Development Act (PDA), 2007 to adopt a new Official Community Plan (OCP) and adopt a new Zoning Bylaw under section 46 of PDA, 2007.

INTENT: The OCP provides a municipal vision of municipal futures and includes local land-use policies to assist decision makers in achieving this vision. It establishes balanced growth and associated servicing considerations within the region. The Plan will be adopted by Council, and all future land use decisions shall be consistent with the OCP. However, the OCP is a changing document, and amendments may be made in response to changing conditions in the municipality.

The second proposed bylaw known as the Zoning Bylaw will establish the regulations for future growth and development within the municipal boundaries of the Village. Included are specific zoning designations to which specific permitted and discretionary uses are assigned.

AFFECTED LAND: The affected land is legally described as all lands located within the jurisdiction of the Village of Mervin.

REASON: The reason for the adoption of the Official Community Plan is to: 1) Promote diverse and affordable housing options for various demographics within the municipality to maintain a high quality of life for all residents. It is important that local communities attract and retain permanent residents and families.

2) Regional collaboration allows for the preservation of environmentally, culturally sensitive areas, local water resources, and development opportunities for collaborative and complementary infrastructure and land uses. The retention of local amenities ensures the high quality of life and promotes recreational and tourism opportunities.

3) Encourage and facilitate economic diversification to establish a stable local economy built off agriculture and value-added agribusiness, consumer and tourism opportunities.

4) The identification of specific areas within the region for particular land-use development ensures appropriate compatibility between different types of development.

These designations are regulated through the municipal Zoning Bylaw that reflect a particular character and community-inspired values, which preserve and enhance local identity.

The reason for the adoption of the Zoning Bylaw is to control the use of land for providing for the amenity of the area within the Village’s jurisdiction and for the health, safety and general welfare of the inhabitants of the municipality. The Zoning Bylaw includes the following zoning districts that provide standards for development within specific areas within the municipality: 1)

2) 3) 4) 5)

6)

R1 – Residential District: which is intended to provide for low to medium-density residential development surrounded by agricultural lands and other compatible developments.

C1 – Commercial Core District: which is intended to provide for general commercial development, and other compatible developments.

C2 – Highway Commercial District: which is intended to provide for highway commercial and light industrial development and other compatible developments.

M – Industrial District: which is intended for industrial and other types of developments.

CS – Community Service District: which is intended for municipal facilities, recreational areas, health and/ or education facilities, and other compatible types of development.

UH – Urban Holdings District: which is intended for lands held for subdivision prior to rezoning to accommodate specific forms of development.

PUBLIC INSPECTION: Any person may inspect the bylaw at the RM Office between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. as well as between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, excluding any statutory holidays. Copies will be available to the public, or by emailing the Village at villageofmervin@littleloon.ca.

PUBLIC HEARING: The Public Hearing shall be held at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10th, 2015 at the Village Office in the Mervin Complex at 9 Main Street.

Issued by the Village of Mervin this 17th day of September, 2015.

The Meota Girl’s Club is back in action with their second meeting Tuesday when they once again cleaned the street they are committed to. This is done every year and the only street that is officially cleaned, it seems.

Most of us pick up behind people when we walk but that never gets it all. These girls are to be commended for their continuity spirit.

The September noon luncheon put on by the hall board was held in the Meota Community Complex Sept.

18 with a good turnout of community-minded citizens supporting them and enjoying the food.

Duplicate bridge was played at the Do Drop In Tuesday evening with top scores going to Jetta and Terry Dasilva. In second were Ray and Marnie Davie and third were Eric Callbeck and Gerry Fernandes.

It was another pleasant time together.

Ted and Monica Brown visited their daughter Darcy and Jeff Branscombe and their grandchildren Carter

eota News and Kaylee in Lacombe, Alta. recently.

The Lions fall supper date is Oct. 18. Sorry I had it wrong last week. Watch for posters and ads.

While we have not had a hard frost yet, folks are taking in their gardens and there’s usually a surprise or two out there. It is wonderful how those who have too much share with those who have no garden. Beulah and I have been recipients of tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes. We dug potatoes on the weekend and brought out one that weighed just under three pounds.

Visiting Beulah Corbeil for a few days last week was Irene Theroux from St. Paul, Alta. Beulah’s aunt Cecile Corbeil brought her from Loon Lake and her son Albert came for her. Irene is waiting for knee surgery coming up soon. There was lots of card playing at Beulah’s last week.

Please mark your calendars for the next seniors’ meeting at the Do Drop In Oct. 9, so the next year can be planned and successful.

The drive to Unity Saturday was delightful. The fall colors are out in abundance and birds are starting to flock. Combines were out before the day was over. My sister Linda Ard and I attended the wedding of our nephew Scotty and Coleen Shepherd’s son Riley when he married Chelsea Robertson in St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Unity. There were seven attendants on either side and it all went off perfectly. After the service we joined relatives at the town campground where we gathered around the motor home of Gary and Elaine Poole and had some great visiting time. After spending a couple hours there we went to the Legion Hall where we enjoyed a cold supper with relatives of the bride and groom. On our drive home we were thrilled to see a herd of about 15 antelope quite close to the road. We hadn’t seen any since spotting a herd in Montana a couple years ago. We also saw a field a mile long. It seemed the swaths went on forever. In hilly country you just don’t see that. The weather was perfect and I’m sure that those who stayed for the dance had a great time.

They played contract bridge at the Do Drop In Monday evening, and had a good time. Top score was by Gerry Craig and second by Jetta Dasilva.

The Meota seniors are holding a pie and coffee afternoon Wednesday, Sept.

30 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Do Drop In, so see you there.

By Sherri Solomko Correspondent

It’s the last weekend of September already. Hopes are high for continued nice weather so the farmers can complete this year’s harvest. And this fall folks will be talking about more than geese flying south as those popular Blue Jays are on the topic table on a regular basis.

Working parents will appreciate the opportunity to participate in a new after school program being offered. The Town of Unity, Unity Community Day Care, Unity Public School and St. Peter’s School have partnered to develop the program. The program provides a safe, educational and structured environment for children to go after school from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. This program is held at both elementary schools.

Also, rink activity and registration includes CanSkate registration Sept.

Please contact Ashlie Klein at 306-228-9373 for more details as only two sessions are offered, limited to 30 kids per session.

The upcoming Montreal Canadiens hockey event, slated for Nov. 27, has much to offer both the Habs fans and hockey fans. Organizers have earmarked proceeds towards three deserving community groups – the food bank, the Unity Community Resource Centre and Unity Minor Hockey. Tickets for the game are hoped to be on sale in early October; as well as the group will be selling their progressive 50/50 jackpot tickets, guaranteed at $3,000.

Unity Minor Hockey is hosting a unique evening Oct. 1 that includes a regular season hockey draft as well as a half-time show that will host an auction for some top spots to become part of this Canadiens hockey event.

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 as there are spots open for officiating the big game, equipment handlers and security for the Habs alumni as well as a “Thrill of a Lifetime” experience that includes your very own jersey, playing with the alumni and plenty more excitement to boot.

The minor hockey draft night Oct. 1 will be your chance to be selected for these opportunities. Contact Carey Baker at 306228-2621 for more details on how you can bid for your place on the roster, or some of the other opportunities available.

The silent auction items coming in for this event are second to none; watch for details on what some of these coveted items will be.

And, before we know it, curling season will have arrived. Here’s the latest from the Unity Curling Club: annual meeting Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. at the curling club lounge.

The public is welcome.

Registration nights are set for Oct. 13 and 14, at 7 to 9 p.m. League curling starts

Oct. 27.

Junior curling will start Nov. 2, 6:45 – 8 p.m. Brooms and sliders provided. The cost to join league is $50 for the Monday league plus purchase of an $80 book of TV tickets, a fundraiser for the club.

For details on events upcoming at the Unity Curling Club, contact the club at 306-228-2212 or log on to their Facebook page.

Keep your eye out for announcements from local churches as once October arrives it becomes fall and fowl supper season.

The Unity Chamber of Commerce is always working hard to support and draw support for our busi-

ness community. They will be hosting an all candidates forum Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Legion Hall for folks to hear from the candidates running in the Oct. 19 federal election.

The chamber also has a unique idea lined up for Oct. 31 so be sure to watch this column and ads around town for your chance to join in on the fun and benefits.

Coffee row folks – even though they get ribbed about desertions in Riderville, I think they are still interested. Once you are a Rider fan, you’re always a Rider fan, right? Blue Jay fandemonium has set in and boy is it fun. It seems like an extension of those days of Joe Carter and John Olerud when they captured the World Series back in the 1990s. Extended rains September long weekend and subsequent were 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 keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time …

Police vehicles in two-car collision Staff

ONION LAKE — Two RCMP vehicles collided on Onion Lake First Nation Saturday, Sept. 19 during an attempt to arrest a male resident of the community in relation to a complaint of uttering threats.

Four members of the Onion Lake RCMP were involved in the crash. All members involved were transported to Lloydminster Hospital as a precaution and have since been released.

Police say the incident began at 4 p.m. when they responded to the complaint.

The man being sought was spotted in a park in the com-

munity, but fled in a vehicle when police arrived. While attempting to initiate a stop of the suspect vehicle, the two police vehicles collided,

causing one to roll onto the passenger side.

An RCMP Collision Reconstructionist from Prince Albert attended the scene.

The adult male was subsequently located and arrested. He remains in custody with changes pending. The investigation is ongoing.

Staff

Sometime between Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, 2015 a vehicle in Marshall was entered and a first responder bag and its contents were stolen. This crime affects the community directly as these tools are used to save lives, according to RCMP. Sept. 9, approximately 200 feet of copper wire was stolen from a CNRL site south of Lloydminster.

The RCMP reminds the community to ensure they are taking the proper security measures to protect themselves against thieves.

Ensure doors are locked to residence, out buildings and vehicles, the police say.

The RCMP is asking the community for their assistance. Anyone with information is urged to contact the RCMP at 306-893-4800.

Antique farm equipment stolen MAIDSTONE — Maidstone RCMP are advising residents of the area to secure their property following a string of recent thefts.

Aug. 23, an antique CCIL green tractor, with an attached antique John Deere sickle mower was stolen from a rural residence near Maidstone.

Prevost entertains and promotes local cause

Saskatchewan Country Music Association’s 2015 Male Vocalist of the Year Codie Prevost with Flower, the last of a litter of six orphans, who awaits adoption. Prevost was on a tour of the animal shelter in North Battleford as part of a fundraiser for the Battlefords Humane Society. He and his wife have two Chihuahuas.

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

Four Glaslyn residents made up a VIP party treated to a special get together with Canadian country music artist Codie Prevost during his visit to North Battleford to perform at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts.

Heather Hall, Battlefords Humane Society board member, says the

Saskatchewan-born music star was impressed with the current Mob Dog campaign and agreed to do a VIP package as a fundraiser for the society’s new building fund. It was auctioned online, with the winning bidder being Karen Burtnick of Glaslyn. Her party was made up of herself, Mike Lins and Bruce and Michelle Hazzard.

A group of four attended a VIP tour of the Battlefords Humane Society animal shelter Saturday before having supper at Blend with performer Codie Prevost and attending his concert, all part of an online auction package won by Karen Burtnick of Glaslyn.

The caregiver to two dogs, a snake and a rabbit had to up her bid three or four times but was finally successful with a $340 bid.

The VIP package included four premium seats for the performance, supplied by the Dekker Centre, a tour of the animal shelter with Prevost as well as a photo session, dinner with Prevost at Blend. There they were

Prevost said he was happy to help raise funds for a new shelter in North Battleford.

Who let the dogs out?

A pack of “mob dogs” were seen at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts Saturday where a performance by country artist Codie Prevost was the backdrop for a fundraising project by the Battlefords Humane Society. The wooden dogs above, made by fundraiser organizer Heather Hall, are available for rent to celebrate birthdays, anniversary, retirements and more. So far, the “mob dogs” have raised more than $10,000. Left to right are Lisa Duhaime and Jennifer Spark, animal shelter staff, and Hall, prior to packing up the dogs for the night.

Right, Todd Peters, guitarist and vocalist who appeared with Codie Prevost at the Dekker Centre Saturday, gets caught by Prevost trying to photobomb his friend during an autograph.

Peter is from Langham and regularly appears in Prevost’s band as well as performing with other artists.

Performing artists help raise funds for new shelter Continued from Page 33 He said, “Heather had emailed me, and I was unaware there was even a shelter here in North Battleford.”

She told him they were doing some fundraising and asked if he would like to be involved.

“From the email it started to snowball.”

He suggested a VIP pack-

age because “it doesn’t really cost any money, but does raise some funds.”

He said, “Even if it raises a thousand dollars that’s a thousand dollars that wasn’t there before.”

Then he talked to songwriting friend Brock Andrews, who is a graduate of John Paul II and also agreed to be the opening act

at Prevost’s performance at the Dekker Centre. Andrews works with Fender and he offered to bring along a guitar for raffle. They ended up raffling two guitars, for a total of $1,124.

At the evening performance, Michelle Spark, director of the animal shelter, said the Mob Dog campaign started in August had raised

$10,000.

“When Codie and Brock found out what we were doing, they jumped right in and wanted to help,” she told the audience.

The Battlefords Humane Society’s Shelter-Us Building Fund is aiming toward a new building within the next five years – the sooner the better, considering the con-

dition of the current building. The fund so far contains about $350,000, but the new building will probably cost $1.5 million.

The Humane Society has been running a “Who let the dogs out?” fundraiser to boost the building fund.

“If someone gives a $50 donation, then the group of dogs, which we’re calling

15094MM2

the ‘mob dogs,’ would be put on someone’s lawn of their choosing,” says Hall, who built the 116 wooden dogs that make up four sets herself, based on the idea of the flamingos-on-the lawn prank.

Those looking to prank their friends and family can call the Battlefords Humane Society at 306-446-2700.

Threshing day Saturday

Grain sheaves finally cut and stooked

By Lorraine Olinyk Correspondent

The Threshermen’s Club members were finally able to cut their sheaves and stook Sept. 19.

The McCormick binder, with Cyril Saunders on controls, was pulled by Frank Block driving his Massey Harris pony tractor.

Stooking were Stew Walton, Ken Ward, Ruben Rempel, D. Matechuk and Lynn Sauve, getting ready for Borden’s annual Threshing Day Sept. 26.

Gates and cook car open at 10 a.m., two and a half miles north of Highway 16 with the parade at noon.

There are horse-drawn

orden Radisson events and threshing during the afternoon, with James Steele playing the fiddle at 2:30 p.m. and at the community centre before supper.

The museum is open at 3 p.m. and supper tickets go on sale at 4 p.m. for the 5 p.m. roast beef supper put on by the Borden Museum and Threshermen’s Club.

Thirteen members of the Borden Seniors’ Club travelled to Maymont Sept. 17, for an afternoon of music-

al entertainment and a delicious cold plate supper.

There were also guests from Radisson, Battleford and from their own club present.

Our grandson, Duncan Sutherland, who is attending College of the Rockies at Cranbrook, B.C., is really enjoying his studies in kinesiology and playing on the Avalanche men’s volleyball team. They are playing some exhibition games in Red Deer, Alta., the weekend of Sept. 25-26 and his family are going out to watch him play. The team starts playing in the PACWEST college league at the end of October when they travel to Vancouver and play Capilano and Douglas teams.

Community hall hosts wedding reception, dance

By Helena Pike Correspondent

Congratulations to Heather Rodh and Scott Breadner who were married Sept. 19. Wedding festivities including a reception and dance were held in Waseca Hall. We wish them many years of happiness together.

Heather and Scott will be making their home in Maidstone.

Our best wishes for a speedy recovery to a former Waseca resident, Bob Douglas who is presently a patient in University Hospital, Saskatoon. Bob and his wife Lynn have made their home in Saskatoon for the last number of years.

We sadly report the death of Glen Sutherland who passed away Sept. 14 in Sas-

aseca News katoon at the age of 45 years.

Glen was the fourth child born to Ruth and the late Jim Sutherland. We extend our sympathy to his partner Maxine Noble, his stepsons, his mother Ruth and his siblings and their families as well as to his many, many friends who will have many happy memories of association with Glen, who had many interests to share with them.

Glen attended elementary school in Waseca and high school in Maidstone. Following school he soon became involved in the truck-

ing industry which took up a great deal of his life.

A memorial service for Glen was held in Waseca Hall Sept. 18. Glen Harbin gave an interesting eulogy for Glen, who was an outdoor person who loved all outdoor activities, spending free time fishing, boating and other activities. Following the memorial service, a burial service led by Pat Ribay was held at Waseca Cemetery. Family and friends gathered at Waseca Memorial Hall following this service to share lunch.

Our sympathy to members of the Polinsky family, including Bev and Vic Holt and family, on the death of Bev’s father, Bob Polinsky of Lloydminster. A funeral service was held in Lashburn Sept. 23.

Extracurricular activities gearing up

By MCS Staff It was a busy week and weekend for Maymont Central School, with classes, but also with extracurricular activities and field trips.

Senior golfers, Conner Rothenburger, Brayden Harris, Sean Brehon, and Tyson Wawryk, participated in the district golf playoffs in North Battleford, Sept.

14. They had a nice day and played well.

Joan Julseth is teaching piano lessons at the school Tuesdays. Joan is from Borden and had been teaching lessons at the school for several years.

Several Grade 10 through 12 students, along with Mr. Nickell, left Friday for the outdoor education canoe trip. They were starting in Kingsmere Lake in Prince Albert National Park. The trip lasted four days and they canoed to a different location each night to camp.

Prior to the trip, all participants had to attend practice sessions. Hopefully, they packed lots of warm clothing.

The Grade 2 through 5 classes attended the second annual agricultural safety day at the agricultural

grounds in North Battleford Sept. 18. The mission of the program is to provide education and training to make farm, ranch and rural life safer and healthier for children and their communities.

Following the presentation and lunch, the students spent the rest of the day at the field house for physical education activities.

The junior girls’ volleyball team and their coaches left Friday morning to attend the two-day Border Battle Junior Volleyball Tournament in Lloydminster. There were 16 girls’ teams participating in this tournament.

In their pool Friday night, the girls lost their first two matches in close three-game sets and won their third match. That placed them third in their pool.

The playoffs started Saturday at 8 a.m. The girls played Bishop Lloyd and won this match. They moved on to play Jonas Samson from Meadow Lake. They

Summer visitors seeking historic churches

By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent

Strangers driving into ouStrangers driving into our yard asking for directions is very common. The other day, a couple whose last name is Virag hailing from near Qu’Appelle was inquiring about Greek Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic churches in the vicinity. The elderly woman had a large book that was compiled many years ago in both English and Ukrainian.

To my knowledge, in this book was small towns who still have or used to boast of these buildings. Many are now heritage sites. I revealed what I know and told her I am not Ukrainian, but my husband is. I gave them appropriate directions and wished them happy travels.

Apparently they are driving all around rural Saskatchewan to document their findings.

Gordie Zyznomirski and Loreili Powers accompanied his mother Mary to her sister-in-law’s funeral in early August. Helen Romanuk passed away at the age of 84 years. Mary now resides on an acreage with her older son Edward and keeps herself busy. Deepest sympathy to the family.

Holly, youngest daughter of Shane and Barb Rafuse, Sherwood Park, Alta. and granddaughter to Ruby, has recently moved to St. John’s, Nfld. Holly is enrolled in archeology at the St. James University and is looking forward to touring all of the sights of Newfoundland in her spare time.

Sept. 7, Shirley Lamontagne received exciting news that her granddaughter April and husband of Vancouver gave birth to a baby boy named Hindrick.

This is Shirley’s fifth greatgrandchild and she can’t wait to see the new arrival.

April is the daughter to Calvin Lamontagne of Grand Forks, B.C., making him a first time grandparent.

St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church near Alticane had its annual September service Sept. 13. There is always a blessing of the local graveyard across the gravel road from the church. Some people from Edmonton and

ayfair News more local people partook in this special service with coffee and lunch after.

Creative Corners held a successful fall flea and farmers’ market Sept. 19 in Mayfair Hall. Lunch was purchased by most in attendance and the sale of pie was donated to Telemiracle. Most vendors sold a lot of their goods and already booked a table for the Christmas Craft Sale Nov. 29. It takes a lot of volunteers to put together functions of this type. Thank you.

Leona Noble and her partner are in the Mayfair and Radisson area for about two weeks searching for the remains of her 15-yearold daughter Katelyn who was murdered the summer of 2007. I was honoured to meet these remarkable people and these are her words.

“We came to your community to let people know my daughter was buried somewhere close to the town of Mayfair. The man who murdered her is in jail for life for committing another murder that same year. Katelyn was murdered in Radisson by an acquaintance of her boyfriend. I plead with local farmers to check their properties in hopes we find her. I will never give up my search for her. I thank you.”

Leona hired a psychic in Mission-Abbotsford, B.C. who revealed when he put his hand on a map that something told him that where Katelyn was murdered had a telephone number with the prefix of 246.

Guess what? Speers-Mayfair area has that telephone prefix. He went on to tell there was a grove of either maple or elm trees near a trestle bridge and about 50 feet or yards from a tree or fence there would have been a red jacket. The psychic revealed a bit more of what he was feeling and Mrs. Noble is going on this clue. There are a couple of railway trestles in the area.

Leona had to take stress leave from her job and sur-

vived a heart attack after the devastating news of Katelyn’s senseless death. She is a truly remarkable, strongwilled woman. Many of us who got to meet Leona and her partner definitely want to help.

Les and Wendy Pethick invited the Nobles to their farm to visit and show them more of the area after the flea and farmers’ market.

When they are in Radisson, the motel owners always offer them free accommodation, although they usually travel by motor home.

Starting in November, old time dance lessons will be held, running for six sessions on Tuesday evenings.

There appears to be a lot of interest and an instructor will take everyone through the dance steps, especially for the first time people, so no one will feel out of place.

So put on those dancing shoes and have some fun.

The price will be minimal, and the more in attendance, the cheaper it will be. For more information, call me at 306-445-9992.

I was delighted to have attended the Touch of Autumn event at the Honeywood Provincial Heritage Site Sunday. Dr. Bert Porter became recognized throughout the world for his contributions in the field of horticulture.

He was never formally trained, but worked endlessly to develop hardy fruit varieties well adapted to harsh Canadian winters. Porter, from 1963 to 1990, received many prestigious awards.

He lived to 99 years and Honeywood’s 80 acres have an abundance of beautiful flowers, shrubs and huge trees that can be accredited to true dedication.

It is open to the public seven days a week from May long weekend to the third week of September from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. There are two paid employees and the rest is done by volunteers. The best times to visit: fruit trees usually the second week of May; lilacs in June; peonies at the end of June and early July; lilies (many acres of these as this was Mr. Porter’s passion) in July; and the many varieties of fruit trees ripening in mid August to September.

Leona Noble and her partner have come to Radisson-Mayfair area numerous times since 2008 searching for the remains of her 15-year-old daughter Katelyn. She said Katelyn used to phone home almost every day to talk and they always knew where she was. She said that in a day or two her boyfriend and her were to take off to Ontario (as per their last conversation) but obviously something went wrong. Photo by Elaine Woloshyn

Honeywood is located near Parkside in the Shellbrook area. It boasts of gorgeous breathtaking scenery for photo shoots, weddings and other significant functions. Tours and school groups are always welcomed. I’ve already talked myself into returning in the summer of 2016. The wagon ride tour was educational with the guide answering questions. There were about 10 vendors selling their own homemade goods.

Friends and family from Saskatoon, Wilkie and Mayfair helped Barry Brown celebrate his birthday Sept.

12. Everyone went to the Bulldog Corn Maze at Baldwinton near Cut Knife to spend time getting lost and then finding their way out of this 12-acre jungle with much laughter and some swear words that are not to be repeated! The energetic group became less energetic and had to replenish their energy by having lunch at a restaurant called Afternoon Delight in Cut Knife.

The owner of the corn maze is Chris Scholer. He hires a fellow from Utah to make the two-mile maze pattern, but Chris plants all

of the corn. I believe this operation is only into its second year. Dora Brown reported that this was a very entertaining afternoon and all of the invitees had a great time.

Most farmers have not been able to harvest the past two weeks, due to the uncooperative weather. Peas are always the first to come off, followed by whatever else is ready to get put into the bin.

Most farmers do not want to take off the crops tough or damp, so let’s pray for warm, windy days.

Hunters are already in abundance, shooting duck, geese and early season for some big game animals in certain zones. Many songbirds have started to migrate and at times one can see large flocks of birds overhead. Yes, we did encounter a couple of nights of frost now, experienced a few hot days and it has turned cooler with the unwelcome precipitation.

Many people have harvested their gardens and are canning and freezing vegetables and fruit and preserving pickles.

Have you seen all of the Christmas merchandise

in some of the large chain stores already? Thanksgiving and Hallowe’en are still a distance away and we are supposed to be thinking about purchasing Christmas stuff? I think this is a little ridiculous and consumers seem to get pushed into this rat race of buy, buy, and buy!

Adgerine McNutt frequently visits her family in the Yorkton area and this time was gone for almost two weeks. While down south she was invited to the second wedding of her deceased husband Murel’s brother in Moose Jaw. She visited relatives that she had not seen in ages and caught up on all of the news from different families.

Thank you to everyone who reads Mayfair news, it is unbelievable that even strangers read this. This past summer I have met people and in conversation they ask if I am the one who sends in whatever people call me about. Some have even commented that if a week is skipped, I am slacking off. There could be more to write, but many think that it is not worth informing everyone about what is happening in their busy lives.

The Battlefords, Thursday, September 24, 2015 - Page 38

When the pot boils over, there is spill over Some things are easier said than done. When my old neighbour Ed, from Saskatchewan, tells me a problem it is hard to end our conversation.

Last week, he shared that a close family member is filing for divorce and their whole family is in turmoil as a result. My old neighbour informed me that when the marriage pot boils over there is a real mess to clean up. The divorcing couple must deal with how they will divide their financial assets, possessions and property.

Spousal support, child custody, child access and child support are difficult spills to be cleaned up.

According to Ed,

some divorces clean up pretty fast and easily as they are the uncontested ones. There may be some divorces without hard feelings but, unfortunately, for the member of Ed’s family the divorce proceedings are full of disputes about everything from assets to child custody. When the couple married they vowed to have and to hold each other for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and cherish each other until death. Sadly, the marriage boiled over and had become empty.

When a pot boils over on a stove you blame the cook who handles putting it on to boil. Ed has found

eighbourly Advice According to Ed

By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca blaming and resenting during divorce proceedings doesn’t end with the divorcing husband and wife, but becomes a virus that infects their families and friends. Somehow it seems that if people can blame one partner or the other for the marriage breakdown it explains the divorce.

At the time of Jesus, in the Bible, it was lawful for a husband to write a certificate of divorce and send his wife away. The wife might not still be able to return to her parent’s home. She would be without any resources and the object of shame. Jesus said Moses allowed divorce

because their hearts had become hard. They were out of touch with the intentions of God concerning marriage. In the beginning, Jesus said God made us male or female. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife and the two will become one flesh. They are no longer two but one, as a family unit of husband and wife to be respected and not separated from each other until death.

Jesus knew writing a certificate of divorce was lawful, but he saw it as heartless and hurtful towards wives by husbands.

God intended marriage to be full of great potential

and blessing, a taste of heaven on Earth. Two can be better than one by expanding love, help, and protection. Together husband and wife can double their abilities for earnings, parenting, caring and sharing.

God wants couples to grow together in love that is patient and kind. A spouse’s love on Earth is to be like God’s love from heaven.

Marriage love is learning to become selfless, patient and keeping no record of wrongs. In our world full of envy, boasting, pride and strife, love is limited or missing. God’s love for us never fails us it protects us and perseveres us. God wants us to taste that type of love in marriage.

Fall colours worth a drive in the country

By Alan Laughlin Correspondent

As much as we hate to say farewell to summer, autumn is rolling in with a fantastic show of colour. It really is worth getting out and taking a drive. I think the most beautiful spots are on the Meeting Lake Park road, the Reserve Lake road and at the Cooperation Hill.

I really wonder why we find so much to complain about when we can view this beauty right outside our door.

Harvest is on again off again depending on the weather. I have been told the yield for peas might be a little lower than hoped for but that the quality is high. We all wish a safe harvest time for the farmers.

A recent visitor said there had to be something in the water in Rabbit Lake and that he was going to start drinking it as medicine. On Sept. 13 Henry Konopelski became the third Rabbit Lake resident to turn 90 this summer.

Henry is an amazing gentleman, and I mean gentleman. No matter what the situation Henry is always positive and finds the good in everyone.

Henry was born in the Cooperation district just south of Rabbit Lake and he still lives on his home farm. After his father passed

abbit Lake News away, Henry began farming at the age of 14 and has farmed ever since. Is he still farming? Well he may not be doing it all but he is still involved with his son and nephew. This will be Henry’s 76th harvest.

You can find Henry and his wife Mary in Rabbit Lake at the coffee shop or seniors’ centre every morning. Minus 40 degree weather and blowing snow have not yet stopped Henry and Mary from making the 15mile trip each day. Everyone joins in saying “happy birthday” to Henry Konopelski.

Friends gathered at the seniors’ centre Sept. 14 for coffee and cake. Jeanette Krelow provided the cake.

Speaking of water, the village water system was thoroughly cleaned recently.

With the distribution tank being cleaned and the water lines swabbed, we should have good water for the winter.

Last week I missed some Rabbit Lake kids who are attending school in Spiritwood. Good luck to Liam Aumack and Isaiah, Tasia, Brianna and Kreeson Pritchard.

MAIDSTONE — Colleen Koski was to visit her mom Saturday and joined in the fun of the poker rally.

They didn’t win but it was fun. Colleen and her son Riley Koski were Lloydminster visitors last week.

Cindy of Unity was up and took her mom Dorothy Kissick to see her great-granddaughter Nightley Blanchette.

Kent and Marcie Carson of Livelong were in to visit with Dorothy Kissick. She really enjoyed their visit since she hadn’t seen them in some time.

Coffee time at the suites was enjoyed playing bingo, hearing jokes and education topics. The girls do a great job and we all enjoy it.

Once again, thanks to everyone for the fruit and
