No criminal charges filed

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

There will be no criminal charges laid in connection to the shooting death of Brydon Whitstone by an RCMP officer in North Battleford.

That announcement was made Tuesday afternoon by the Ministry of Justice in Regina.

The ministry’s executive director of communications Drew Wilby also informed a media conference call that the family of

Whitstone was informed of the decision earlier that day by the investigation team.

The ministry has also confirmed the coroner’s inquest into Whitstone’s death will take place from Dec. 3 to 7 at Queen’s Bench Court in Battleford.

“This incident has affected many people, of course none more so than the family and friends of Brydon Whitstone,” Wilby said.

ous to the public, a second count of operating a motor vehicle on 102nd Street in a manner dangerous to the public, possession of property exceeding $5,000 knowing it was obtained by an offence punishable by indictment, failure to stop for police, two counts of operating a motor vehicle while disqualified, three counts of breach of a Jan. 19 probation order and three counts of breach of an Aug. 22 probation order.

Prosecutor Chris Browne appeared for the Crown. The Crown opposes Gunville’s release and is proceeding by indictment on all but one count. The

Crown is reserving election on the Sept. 16 count of operating a motor vehicle while disqualified.

Gunville was represented in court by legal aid defence lawyer Bill Archer.

In speaking to reporters outside the courtroom Archer said he expected the number of charges against Gunville would be “weeded down considerably. I don’t know what the strength of the evidence is at this point.”

He indicated one issue was determining whether Gunville was in fact the individual responsible for the theft of the vehicle.

“If it was him, he stole a car, not the kid. So that

is what it comes down to.

It’s gotten a lot of attention just because of the circumstances,” said Archer.

Gunville’s mother, Tammy Lavallee, was in court and spoke to reporters following the court appearance. She confirmed that Gunville had previously been staying at a group home and was also at the Lighthouse for a time, and had a Grade 10 education.

When pressed by reporters, Lavallee couldn’t confirm whether her son had realized his actions.

“Maybe he does but he doesn’t want to admit to it,” said Lavallee.

Property crime takes toll on business owner

By Josh Greschner Blair Letrud Bobcat and Yard Services has seen a rough year.

Blair Letrud, whose shop is located at 772 - 108 St., estimates he’s been robbed of around $10,000 in fuel, vehicle batteries and parts and other things, in approximately 80 incidents since the spring. B passing gas caps, thieves stole fuel by cutting a tube that goes to nine trucks’ gas tanks and siphoning it with a hose they’d leave behind.

Letrud said his children have seen people scale the fence around the shop “in broad daylight,” and he’s replaced the lock on a gate “about 10 times.”

“They come along, cut it off, leave it at the bottom of the gate post and just walk in there,” Letrud said.

“I don’t know if they’re using an angle grinder or bolt cutters or what.”

Letrud said he’s phoned the police “a half dozen times” but said he thinks the response involved little more than listening to his concern.

Each time he received the same, as he put it, “nonchalant” response.

Letrud then gave up phoning police.

The activity, he said, contributed to him selling trucks and equipment. He

said he’s kept a bobcat at home for a couple months and he’s renting out the shop where many of the thefts occurred.

In casual conversations with police, Letrud said he’s heard the thieves could be progressively stealing small things from his business for drug money.

“The last time when I got ripped off, whoever was stealing the batteries out of my truck lost their crack pipe underneath it,” Letrud said.

For security, Letrud said he had “just a fence.”

He said he’s heard from other business owners about thieves stealing security cameras.

Crime and property crime are frequently discussed topics at North Battleford city council meetings, and the NewsOptimist has written much about it, including reports from council meetings and some detailed descriptions of the City’s plan in an article about residential property crime called “City and some residents disagree about crime reduction strategies.”

Randy Patrick has been city manager since Aug. 1, and strategies to reduce crime largely remain what they have been over past months, despite his taking over the job from former City Manager Jim Puffalt.

“I don’t change overall

Continued from Front Some further details about Gunville have also emerged from Facebook posts. A Facebook page under the name “Johnathan Ryann Gunville” included a profile photo of Gunville wearing a red bandana.

His positions were listed as “Boss at Taken Over” and “Works at On the Streets.”

On Aug. 23 his Facebook post read: “just got out of the regina corritional and stoon whas up everybody,” and added “168 dayz did.”

On Tuesday, Gunville made his second brief appearance in provincial court. Defence lawyer Archer informed the court he had started receiving disclosure and had also asked

that video surveillance video be provided to them.

Archer said he was not in a position to run a show cause that day. Oct. 9 has been set as the next court appearance for Gunville, and he is to appear that day by closed-circuit TV at 11 a.m. Lavallee was once again at the courthouse to support her son.

In speaking to reporters after Tuesday’s appearance, Archer noted there was surveillance video out there that the lawyers still need to see.

“I haven’t seen any of that yet, nor has the Crown,” said Archer. “Before I make any major decisions on the file I would like to see it.”

Archer also acknowl-

strategy without going to council,” Patrick said.

Patrick said there’s been a “huge pool of expertise developed over the last few years” and he’s relying on those people to “bring me up to speed.”

The City has a multifaceted plan for dealing with crime.

In conjunction with the RCMP, the City is looking at concepts such as “high-risk lifestyle” which motivate crime in the first place. A strategy involves looking at the social problems that influence crime, then attempting to align four levels of government (municipal, First Nation,

Gunville: disclosure begins edged Gunville was intellectually challenged and there had been a case in which an application was made on Gunville’s fitness to stand trial.

Archer also said he had received a few phone calls, including ones from former teachers, about Gunville.

He said there was a “lot of regret and remorse about Johnny in the sense that everybody feels we somehow all let him down,” said Archer.

The defence lawyer later said of Gunville “if the evidence is there for Johnny he will have to own up to what happened.”

But Archer added “Johnny is not an evil monster. He is a troubled kid, intellectually challenged.”

provincial and federal) toward funding certain initiatives.

Some more local, Cityrun initiatives are Eyes That Care and Citizens on Patrol. They share similaritie, but are different, Community Safety Co-ordinator Herb Sutton said.

Sutton works for both the City and the RCMP. Eyes That Care “is really designed to encourage neighbours to get to know each other,” Sutton said.

The program is designed to motivate people to commit to “going around and introducing themselves to their neighbours if they don’t know them already” and “committing themselves to paying attention to their own property,” making sure doors are locked and valuables out of cars,” along with generally keeping an eye out for unusual activity and communicating.

The goal of Eyes That Care is to promote and encourage community.

An initiative relevant to Letrud’s situation is Citizens on Patrol.

Sutton said Citizens on Patrol meets once a month.

RCMP are involved, and patrolling locations is based on information from police “about where they’re seeing trends in the city,” Sutton said, in order to “tailor their patrols in those areas where there might be more calls for service.”

“We’re up to over 30 members of Citizens on

Patrol,” Sutton said. “It’s starting to become a fairly decent cross section of our community,” adding folks live in different areas of the city.

Both Sutton and Patrick said Citizens on Patrol patrol business areas.

Former City Manager Jim Puffalt said residents and business owners are responsible for their own property, although the City offers supports. If residents and business owners do their part, the City will too, the argument goes.

City leaders have said the City spends money on initiatives that aren’t the responsibility of other municipalities.

Sutton said the best way to attract the attention of RCMP and Citizens on Patrol to patrol certain areas is by reporting incidents to police.

Letrud isn’t the first to express futility at reporting frequent, individual instances of property crime.

The matter arose at town halls hosted by RCMP in Biggar and Spiritwood earlier this year, in which RCMP urged reporting incidents to police, even if results might not be immediate.

“Am I going to be able to do something right away with the information?

Maybe not,” Sgt. Colin Sawrenko said to a crowd in Biggar in March. “But you just don’t know what piece of the puzzle that fits into unless you provide it to us.”

Sawrenko said crime can occur successively in nearby locations, and the more calls are made, the more likely the RCMP will be in the area where incidents are occurring.

As Letrud sees it, a solution to reducing crime is hiring more police.

RCMP Insp. John Sutherland told the NewsOptimist in January, North Battleford has the highest police per population ratio in Canada. He said the plan for reducing crime must be long-term because short-term solutions often involve displacing the problem, which often leads to continued crime.

In comments regarding bad tenants, Sutherland said displacing them isn’t the issue.

“The issue is getting them the services that [some people] need. Those are social addictions issues, those need to be fixed and then the problem should fix itself. Very often it’s just easy to call the police and the problem goes away for 10 hours, 12 hours, a week. But until we fix the problem and the issues that cause it, it’s going to keep coming back.”

An August report by RCMP to the City of North Battleford noted overall calls for service decreased from 2,460 to 2,356 for the April to June quarter.

Residential break and enters are down from 87 last year to 61 this year. Business break and enters are down slightly from 17 to 16. Property offences are down from 1,300 to 1,189.

Criminal code offences are down from 904 to 781. Sgt. Jason Teniuk called this a “very significant decrease” and a “very positive step.”

At a recent city council meeting, Sutton mentioned conducting surveys to see how residents perceive crime reduction strategies.

Whether or not shortterm or long-term solutions are more effective, Letrud doesn’t want small business owners in that part of the City overlooked in the debate.

“We’re all victims of this crap,” Letrud said.

“It’s frustrating as hell.”

Show us your Battlefords

By Becky Doig Editor

The Battlefords Chamber of Commerce Action Battlefords initiative has hired Martin Charlton Communications of Saskatoon, a public relations and marketing firm, to further the Chamber’s goal of turning around the community’s reputation.

It was to be the last component of the three-part initiative to be launched, but has been slotted into second place for a couple of reasons. Step two, following promotion of Community on Patrol Program and Neighbourhood Watch, was to be programming aimed at youth. Action Battlefords isn’t ready to launch the youth programs, but in light of the airing of a feature on the Battlefords this weekend by CTV’s W5, the Chamber has stepped up their efforts to have provincial and national media shed a more positive light on life in the community.

The City of North Battlefords Community Safety Co-ordinator Herb Sutton was cautiously optimistic at Monday’s meeting of city council that the program will not offer up the sensational negative tone that residents have come to expect for provincial and national media.

Let’s hope he’s right, but even though the name of this publication contains the word “optimist,” past experience makes us wary.

The fact that the the show’s title is “Crimetown” adds a degree of validity to our wariness.

The good old crime severity index, sensational trials, water crisis and stories of that nature seem to be what draw other media to the Battlefords. They were here in droves for the Gerald Stanley trial (never mind that the incident that resulted in the trial didn’t occur here, but in a rural area near Biggar), but paid scant attention to the Saskatchewan Winter Games hosted shortly after the verdict.

It’s a rare thing to see or hear a positive news story about the Battlefords reflected in national or provincial media. It seems the “bad news” stories are the only ones that draw their reporters to the community.

So, in our wariness about the W5 feature, we can take comfort in knowing the Chamber will be working to have the Battlefords portrayed in a positive way. But we could also take the initiative as individuals.

The theme of a recent photo competition launched by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada in collaboration with Canadian Geographic was “Show Us Your Canada.”

The contest’s objective was to show the people of China the places and people that make Canada a unique and must-see destination to visit.

The contest drew 4,600 entries showcasing iconic

this FromCorner places and people, in the process telling a visual story about Canada’s history, culture and everything that makes Canada unique.

Why not launch a similar campaign for the Battlefords? Search out contact points for provincial and national media outlets and bombard them with images and information that show the positive aspects of the community.

Or share them with the News-Optimist and we’ll post them at www.newsoptimist.ca, a site we know for a fact CBC monitors as they continue their tradition of scalping stories from our newsroom.

I’ve posted my entry to a new photo gallery called “Show Me Your Battlefords.” It shows our grandsons enjoying the new natural play park at Centennial Park.

It’s the only one of it’s kind in the province. How’s that for unique?

I’m certain residents have similar images we could post.

Paying three times on Trans Mountain From the top of the pile

By Brian Zinchuk

brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net How do you like paying for the same thing three times?

Because that’s what we’re doing, if this Trans Mountain Expansion Project ever goes ahead.

Now, to be clear, it’s not all of it – just a small portion. But we are most certainly paying for it.

What I’m referring to is the preliminary work that was done on the project. Surveyors tromped all over hill and dale, marking the right-of-way, centre of ditch, the existing pipe and any other lines crossing the planned route. They hammered in colour-coded stakes by the gazillion along the first construction phases of the route.

Hydrovac trucks had gone out in earnest, finding all the other line crossings using a process sometimes referred to as daylighting. The hydrovac workers use a giant wash wand, similar to what you would see in a car wash, but much more powerful. They use it to liquify the dirt and wash it away while a giant vacuum mounted on a boom of a very large truck sucks away the mud. This is done to find the telephone, fibre optic, power, oil or gas pipelines whose precise position you really need to know before an excavator bucket does it the hard way.

If you lived anywhere

along the right-of-way, you would have surely seen the high numbers of wide loads going by as large semis pulling lowboy trailers first brought the heavy equipment like excavators, dozers and forestry equipment, first to the marshalling yards, then to the right-of-way kickoff.

Those marshalling yards would be chock full of shacks, warehouse trailers, fueling stations, skids and every sundry thing you can think of needed to build a pipeline.

It is my understanding that when the Federal Court of Appeal quashed the permits to build the expansion project, not only did work stop, but it was reversed.

Every one of those stakes had to be pulled.

All the hydrovac holes had to be refilled. Access ramps had to be taken out. All equipment had to leave the right-of-way, not simply be parked for a rapid return to work.

All the signage, much of it custom made, had to be removed. There’s to be no trace of this work that has taken place. I don’t think they’re going to be putting back the trees that were cleared, but I wouldn’t be surprised, either.

But it gets better. The equipment didn’t just get sent back to the marshalling yards along the right-of-way. No sir. Those marshalling yards had

to be fully demobilized by the end of September. Nothing left. So the pipeline construction contractors had to pull all their iron out and send it back to wherever it came from — Edmonton, Fort St. John, wherever.

To be clear: Trans Mountain, when it was still Kinder Morgan, paid to have all the initial mobilization, surveying, hydrovacing, access and signage work to be done.

We, the taxpayer, then paid an obscene amount for the Trans Mountain pipeline. That included the associated expansion project, which has not been built, and whose permit has just been quashed. Thus, we have paid a very high price for the work Kinder Morgan had already done.

Trans Mountain became a Crown corporation, meaning we now own it, and pay for everything it pays for. Trans Mountain then is paying for the full demobilization that took place in September, post judgment, post ownership change.

The federal government then, on Sept. 21, sent the project back to the National Energy Board for consideration of the issues the court said were missed, namely tanker traffic’s impact on the southern resident orca (“killer whale”) population, and for consultation with First Nations. This is supposed to be completed within 22 weeks. Given it took the better part of a month do start this, it means a full six months will be lost, minimum.

If, presumably, “This pipeline will be built,” as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau likes to say, that means some time after six months has passed (and

If the Trans Mountain Expansion Project ever goes ahead, we will have paid for the initial work three times. Photo courtesy Trans Mountain

closer to a year, due to the timing of migratory birds movements, but that’s a whole other column), the project will go ahead.

That means we will pay, for the surveying to be done, again. We will pay for the hydrovacing to be done, again. We will pay for the signage to be installed, again. We will pay for the mobilization

of all the equipment from the contractors’ yards to the marshalling yards, and then the right-of-way, again. We will pay for all of this.

Need I remind you that there was a private company willing to pay for all of this, on their own dime, just a few months ago? But due to the colossal screw up in the handling of this

file by the federal government, to get back to where we were on Sept. 1, we will have paid for all this work three times instead of once.

Put that in your pot pipe and smoke it, Prime Minister Trudeau.

B’fords to appear on W5

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The Battlefords will be under the national media microscope yet again this weekend.

Community Safety Co-ordinator Herb Sutton confirmed in his report to council Monday that he had spoken with the producer

at CTV, who confirmed the documentary on CTV’s W5 about North Battleford will be airing this Saturday night at 7 p.m.

“I expect to be huddled at home all by myself,” said Sutton about his plans for watching the broadcast.

He expressed cautious optimism about what the CTV piece will contain.

“Hopefully the work that was put into that will be reflected in what they are portraying and it will be a more positive view of the city than perhaps what we’ve seen in the past at the national level.”

Mayor Ryan Bater jokingly suggested Sutton could come over to his house and watch it.

Protecting the watershed for a decade

Those interested in water security gathered at the North Battleford River Valley Visitor Centre Thursday, as the North Saskatchewan River Basin Council held its 10th anniversary open house.

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The river valley visitor centre was the location for the North Saskatchewan River Basin Council to hold their open house Thursday afternoon.

The event helped to mark the anniversary of the organization. It came into being Sept. 22, 2008, almost 10 years to the day

of the open house. The organization was founded to support and direct implementation of the Source Water Protection Plan for the area’s watershed.

It was an opportunity for those in attendance to mark the growth of the organization over the decade.

A plaque was presented to Katherine Finn, general manager, for her 10 years with the organization.

The event also highlighted some of the current issues facing the North Saskatchewan River.

A big focus was the Husky oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River in July 2016. Chris Meloche of Husky Energy provided a presentation on the oil spill, providing an overview and update on the efforts.

The presentation fo-

Whitstone: details at inquest Continued from Front He also acknowledged he was somewhat limited in what he could say due to the impending inquest and the need to preserve the integrity of that process. Wilby said he expects many of the questions surrounding Whitstone’s death will be answered through the facts as presented at the inquest.

Once the inquest is completed there would likely be further comment.

The death of Whitstone took place Oct. 21, 2017.

According to a news release at that time from Saskatchewan RCMP, the incident took place at the end of a police pursuit, with the suspect’s vehicle immobilized near 15th Avenue and 105th Street.

RCMP stated in a news release at that time that in response to the driver’s actions following the pursuit, a member discharged a firearm. Whitstone was pronounced dead en route

to hospital around 9:40 p.m.

An independent review took place into the death of Whitstone. The RCMP initially referred the investigation of the shooting to Regina Police Services.

According to Wilby, their role was to gather facts and evidence to determine, without any bias, whether the involved RCMP member acted in contravention of their authority as a police officer and whether the involved RCMP officer was criminally responsible for the death of Whitstone.

After completing their investigation, it was provided to Public Prosecutions for their opinion.

An independent observer was also assigned by the deputy minister of justice and deputy attorney general to ensure the investigation was comprehensive and thorough. That happened the day after Whitstone’s death.

Wilby said Tuesday that all the investigations are now complete. Public Prosecutions has now presented their opinion to Regina Police Service, and the independent investigation observer has also provided an opinion to deputy minister of justice and deputy attorney general. It was determined no criminal charges would be laid.

“We’re confident in the investigation and the process that was followed,” Wilby said in the conference call. “I would encourage those seeking more answers to attend the inquest to gain a full account of the events on the night Whitstone died. I would also ask that people refrain from inflammatory speculation about this case on social media.”

Wilby later said it was a “terrible incident” and that no one wants to see this happen in the province of Saskatchewan.

cused largely on the Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique that was employed to do the cleanup.

Meloche described it as a “systematic methodological approach” to not only determine the extent of the oil leak, but also provide cleanup recommendations.

That occurred throughout 2016 and included the use of containment booms as well as of first-of-its-kind use of canines to sniff out the oil.

Another presentation of note came from the organization’s agri-environmental technician John Kin-

drachuk on “Clean Drain Dry,” the effort to keep aquatic invasive species out of Saskatchewan.

The spread of aquatic invasive species such as zebra and quagga mussels was an obvious concern. A map of North America was shown outlining the extent of the problem across the continent, with the issue having extended to states

and provinces along Saskatchewan’s borders.

The presentation included photos of the damage caused to pipes and beaches from the proliferation of zebra and quagga mussels, as well as examples of proper ways to clean, drain and dry boats.

The need to further educate the public on the issue was also raised.

Huge grow op busted near Marcelin Staff More than 7,000 illegal marijuana plants have been seized from an operation near Marcelin, according to RCMP. An investigation by Blaine Lake RCMP and Saskatchewan RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime Unit, with assistance from the RCMP Emergency Response Team executed three Controlled Drugs and Substances Act led to execution of a warrant Friday of two locations in the Marcelin area and one in Saskatoon.

According to police, the two rural war-

rants follow an extensive investigation into a large-scale illegal marihuana grow-operation at a rural property south of Marcelin.

Three individuals were arrested at Marcelin and bank and phone records, a cellphone and a laptop were seized, police say.

A third warrant executed at a residence on Perehudoff Crescent in Saskatoon resulted in a search by RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime and Saskatoon Integrated Drug Enforcement Street Team.

At this point names have not been released nor charges described.

HIGH CAPACITY GRAIN DRYER RESTORATION COLLECTION™ Floors Designed to be Lived On

The last act of the Saskatchewan Winter Games Committee came on Monday, with announcement of their recommendations on what to do with the Games legacy funds.

Co-chairs David Schell and Rob Rongve presented the recommendations to council Monday night, flanked by several Games Committee volunteers wearing their green shirts. Among those in the audience was the Games manager Nicole Clow, who recently was announced as the Games manager in Lloydminster in 2020.

The Winter Games in North Battleford were a financial success, with a considerable balance available for the committee to recommend for an endowment.

The recommendation from the committee was to place the endowment funds into a 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games Fund set up at the Battlefords and District Community Foundation.

From that, four per cent of the endowed fund will be granted each year to eligible community sport and recreation clubs, organizations and individuals in need of funding.

The other recommendation was to allocate funds to kick-start the campaign for a new Civic Centre, “once the City is ready to proceed with that project,” according to correspondence from the committee’s co-chairs Schell and Rongve to council.

None of these recommendations come as a surprise. The indication last week at the City’s planning committee meeting was that this recommendation was what was decided at their wrap-up meeting earlier in September.

Updated financial numbers were presented to council Monday. According to Rongve’s presentation the Games reported a net profit of $247,694 to March 31, 2018.

He also reported that businesses came through with $158,000 in excess revenue of what was budgeted for. Expenses also came in less in almost every category they had budgeted for as well.

Schell said that as of Monday they had a balance in their account of a little over $212,310, with the balance of funds available for the legacy endowment being $221,553.

Council greeted the recommendations with great enthusiasm.

called the Winter Games a “success in a big way.”

Mayor Ryan Bater said the Games came “at a really important time for the city and gave us a real boost ... it came at the right time and gave the right kind of energy to a city that needed it.”

In speaking to reporters afterwards, Bater said the Games “really elevated not just the internal community pride, but elevated the profile and reputation of the city provincially as an event hosting superpower.

And that’s important to us.”

As for the recommendations for the legacy fund, Bater said the next steps would be to receive a recommendation from administration in the next month or two.

With respect to the Civic Centre, Bater said administration will be preparing a plan on the timing of a new facility and on fundraising. Also still to be determined is where a new Civic Centre would be located.

An engineering firm was engaged to do a preliminary design, which is expected to conclude soon and come back to council.

“When that comes to council we will have a fairly good idea of the potential cost,” said Bater.

CMHA seeking new five-year contract

The Battlefords, Thursday, September 27, 2018 - Page 9

First-degree murder charge Kaitlyn Noble missing since 2007 Staff RCMP Saskatchewan Major Crimes Historical Case Unit North has made an arrest and laid a charge connected with the death of Katelyn Marie Noble.

Katelyn was 15 years old at the time she was last seen in the Radis-

son area on Aug. 27, 2007. Arrested on Tuesday was Eduard Viktorovit Baranec, 41, at a federal prison in British Columbia where he is currently serving on another matter.

Baranec is charged with first-degree murder as well as indignity to a human body. His first court appearance was Wednesday, Sept. 26 by

video at Saskatoon Provincial Court.

Police described the 11-year-long investigation as extensive and complex, and that it spanned the country from Ontario to British Columbia.

They add that investigators hope these developments begin to provide Katelyn’s family with some measure of comfort.

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The Canadian Mental Health Association want to keep managing the David Laird Campground.

At council Monday, Jane Zielke de Montbrun made a formal request for a new five-year contract to replace the current management agreement that is expiring. The indication is that CMHA wants to keep managing the campground in partnership with the City.

The indication now is that administration will hold discussions in the near future with a view to continuing that relationship with CMHA. “It’s time for us to explore renewal of it,” said Mayor Ryan Bater.

“I think council will await the report of administration, which will have discussions with CMHA and then come back to council with the recommendations.”

In her report to council, it was noted 18 CMHA clients were employed at the campground in their work program, doing various chores mowing the grounds or doing janitorial duties or maintenance.

Zielke de Montbrun provided positive testimonials from the CMHA clients about their experiences working at the campground, with one describing it as “exciting to work in a nice natural environment like the campground.”

The City of North Battleford in on board with a $2,500 contribution towards the 25th anniversary of the Battlefords Business Excellence Awards happening Oct. 2.

However, the decision could not have been any closer. The donation passed by only a 4-3 margin.

Mayor Ryan Bater was among those who voted against, expressing concerns that “it sets a precedent.”

“This opens up the door

to a lot of other organizations to request funding,” said Bater. He said he felt supporting a reception was “not an appropriate use of taxpayer funds.”

Councillors Greg Lightfoot and Len Taylor also voted against the request.

Lightfoot pointed out that after the City was “slammed” by provincial funding cutbacks, they had sought the Chamber’s support in trying to reverse the government’s decision.

“They came back to us telling us to get our house in order,” said Lightfoot.

“Maybe this is one way that we keep our house in

Women-only beer parlours, 1935 Here’s a crazy idea that never took hold in Saskatchewan hotels on the corners of Railway and Main. When the provincial government legalized the sale of beer by the glass in 1935, the question arose as to whether women should be allowed in beer parlours.

In the end, after much debate in the legislature, Saskatchewan women were granted the right to drink beer – in separate womenonly parlours.

Despite stereotypes about women as temperance advocates in the early 1900s, Saskatchewan women from many walks of life drank wine, beer and hard liquor at weddings and other gatherings. Many married couples spent their leisure time together at home and some shared a drink or two. In addition, in Saskatchewan’s cities and towns, the single women who worked as telephone operators and salesclerks, hotel chambermaids and

joanchamp@shaw.ca restaurant workers, might want to enjoy a drink in their local hotel beer parlour after a day’s work.

The thought of women in beer parlours was frowned upon by many, however. They considered beer parlours to be morally compromised places frequented by morally suspect patrons. Women might drink beer at the expense of their children. Much worse, women might be lured into illicit sexual activity if they were allowed to drink beer in parlours.

The issue further complicated by the fact that a lot of men, including ho-

tel operators, workers and their customers, simply did not want women in what was considered male social space. Hotelmen feared the presence of women might curtail the consumption of beer. Male camaraderie might be inhibited.

On Jan. 22, 1935, the legislature approved separate, women-only beer parlours for all communities in the province. In cities, there had to be separate entrances for, and no means of communication between, the men’s and women’s parlours. In smaller centres, there could be a single entrance, but separate par-

lours.

Perhaps the most interesting reaction to Saskatchewan’s new women-only beer parlours came in an editorial by the Regina Leader-Post on March 21, 1935: The New York Times … hears about our new Saskatchewan beer law and doesn’t know what to make of us all. … No man except a beer waiter may be lawfully in a women’s beer parlor in the new Saskatchewan beer dispensation. And no woman may be lawfully in a man’s beer parlor. … separate compartments (beer-tight partitions, say), and there may not even be communicating doors… They fought over these regulations for a whole week in the Saskatchewan House, before the beer separatists won. One member said, suppose a man and his wife dropped into a beer parlor together, wanting to have a thoughtful and connubial beer together, and then found they must go their separate ways, sundered by this harsh, estranging partition, drinking their lonely and uninspiring beer-by-the-glass, he on his side of the partition, she

Pickleball breaks ground

By Helen Urlacher Correspondent

The newly minted Wilkie Pickleball Club has been launched, with equipment provided by the Saskatchewan Pickleball Association and New Horizons. Photo

by Helen Urlacher

When Wilkie signed a two-year contract with Saskatchewan in motion the commitment was to get people more active, more often.

A survey within the community and in schools proved to be valuable.

Wilkie in motion heard what adults and children wanted. A symposium with people of all ages in the community was held at the Saskcan Community Center with Saskatchewan in motion speakers.

From there Wilkie in motion, held an information and registration evening with 41 tables plus another 10 signup sheets from sports clubs, service clubs and other groups, showing the diversity of activity for all ages. In-

cluded in the evening were groups from outside the area who offered activities that might be of interest to people.

One of the many opportunties present there was pickleball.

Wilkie in motion was approached by a community member who mentioned pickleball. I had no idea what it was, but in talking to various community members and searching on the Iinternet, I learned this sport is for all ages and it is growing in popularity.

Pickleball combines the sports of badminton, tennis and table tennis, with two

or four players using paddles made of wood or composite materials. The ball resembles a whiffle ball.

Charlotte Hartter, an in motion member, was put in charge of arranging a demonstration workshop Sept. 19 at Norman Carter School. Battlefords Pickleball Club member Val Etcheverry and her husband Gil came with equipment. What made the workshop special was that Val also came with a special gift for the newly formed Wilkie Pickleball Club.

She presented a net with a frame and an extra net, four paddles, 10 balls and a rule book to get the club started. This was provided through the Saskatchewan Pickleball Association and the New Horizons grant.

Terry Fox Run raises $2,500

Hardy participants brave the elements

By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

The Terry Fox Run was held Sept. 16, with 10 volunteers and participants who took part in the event.

Due to the rain there was the option to walk in the big hall or brave the elements outside. All chose to go outdoors and most walked 2.5 kilometres while some did 10K. Pledges were received from as far away as Alberta and Ontario. The committee would like to thank the participants and volunteers who took part in the walk. Thanks to the generosity of Meota and surrounding area residents for their contributions in making this another successful event. The amount raised was approximately $2,500. We’re looking forward to a similar event in

2019.

A couple fires I heard of recently. A car burned on the Metinota road and a combine burned in a field north of here.

Of interest to local curlers is news that Kevin Koe has invited Colton Flash to join his curling team this fall. Colton curled with the Laycock rink and had his own team last season, so is excited to be with Kevin and his rink this year. Colton is the stepson of Steven Ostapiw (Denholm). His mother, Karen, lives in Saskatoon.

Duplicate bridge was played in the Do Drop In in Meota Sept. 18 and saw top marks go to Bernard and Lucille Gregoire. Next were Jette and Terence DaSilva and then Vern Iverson and Eric Callbeck. Sept. 20, in the Pioneer Hall in North

Battleford, top score went to David Sharpe and Vern Iverson. Second were Donna Scherman and Gerry Fernandes and third place went to Linda Ard and Robert Iverson.

Due to the less than stellar weather forecast the fall scramble at the Meota Golf Course has been postponed to Sunday, Sept. 30 at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start. It is not necessary to re-register, however if you can’t make it let Stan know, as he has a waiting list for teams wanting to play. Hopefully the change doesn’t incur any drops because it would be ideal to

end the season with a full field of happy pin seekers.

Sept. 21 saw three tables of canasta players at the Do Drop In with the top score going to Linda Ard and Beth Wynne (Taber, Alta.). Second were Vern Burgardt and Janice Morton and third were Vern Iverson and Marion Ottas.

Next canasta evening will be Oct. 5, so if you want to take part just come into the Do Drop In by 6:45 p.m., so numbers for partners can be drawn. New players are welcome. The more the merrier and we are patient with teaching Meota rules, which do vary from location to location. It’s always good to meet new people and have coffee together.

The September noon luncheon at the Meota Community Complex attracted 90 people. All

enjoyed the extra special chicken meal and variety of desserts. Serafina sponsored this meal and helped out with kitchen expenses.

Next month will be sponsored by the credit union, all in support of our local community hall.

As bad as we think our weather is on the prairies this fall at least we aren’t facing the remnants of a tornado, as so much of eastern Canada is undergoing. That destruction is hard to imagine even as we see it on TV. Such hardships were caused by power outages, winds and water. The power outages affect every person and many have no idea how to live without it.

The attendance at the Battleford United Church’s fall supper held Sept. 23 was not hampered by the

rainy weather, as 210 people showed up to enjoy the tasty beef meal. These suppers are so much work and a big undertaking for mostly senior workers, though there were a couple younger girls helping out.

It’s a nice time to do some visiting with friends you don’t see often.

My grandson Jacob Sandstrom from Calgary has been training with his skis in Utah for a month and now has gone to New Zealand where they will train where there is snow in the mountains. On the other hand, my grandson Greg Lambert has just spent a week in Texas where it was above 30 C and humid. He was happy to come home to normal temperatures, even though a bit low, before returning home to Fort MacMurray, Alta.

busy taking an antique gas tractor apart to be made operable. A big thank you goes out to all the volunteers that helped out in the shop and with the threshing and harvesting. Volunteers are always welcome at the museum.

There has been a long delay for farmers due to the sudden change in the weather. We certainly have had our share of rain and snow and the temperatures have been cold to the freezing point.

We go through a spell

called the equinox Sept. 16 to 21 every year. There has been hardly a year when there has been no moisture falling. Now that has passed, we have left summer behind and are into the fall season. Once this system moves out to bring in much milder dry conditions, the harvest will continue. It’s not the first year of harvest in October.

Good luck to all the harvesters in getting done before the main snow falls as winter sets in.

A pat on the back, a

hand shake and a big thank you goes out to a resident of the Bridge Road condo for all the time he has taken to go out in all kinds of weather to pick up the garbage people throw out along the streets, roads, highways and vacant lots. It is such a shame that so many people throw out all this trash. If you see a man out walking, carrying a garbage bag in one hand and a pick up stick in the other, that’s our man. He has walked many a mile in the process of picking up garbage.

Children experience old-fashioned harvest at WDM

By Dorothy M. Mills Correspondent

Grade 4 school children in the area gathered at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford for a harvest session. It was a cold, nasty day and it was snowing. In spite of the weather, two bleachers were filled with children

and added seating soon filled up.

The fields were too soft to use the big steam tractor, so smaller tractors and horses were put into service. Volunteers described the process of cutting and stooking grain. That brings harvesting to an end for the museum. Now comes cleanup and getting every-

thing back.

While the threshing was going on, there was a work bee of volunteers going on in the workshop. They were

The family of Emma O’Keeffe would like to extend a heartfelt

Thank You! We are grateful for all the support given to us over the past week.

It began with everyone’s selfless search for Emma and still continues on today.

We would also like to thank the RCMP for their endless hours committed to the case.

It doesn’t go unnoticed.

— THANK YOU, Patrick, Alison, Anya & Emma O’Keeffe As one member of the community wrote to us “Emma created a sense of community without saying a word.

She raised awareness of frailities and vulnerabilities without raising her voice.

Emma made us all feel and care deeply.

And what a gift that is.”

What colours go with earth tones?

Colours that combine tones of orange and brown are always popular in interior design, particularly during the fall. Evoking falling leaves and sunsets, these rich hues are nostalgic, romantic and exotic. To highlight furniture or accessories that feature such earthy shades, get inspired by these suggestions.

Cool hues To give your decor a fun and dynamic effect, add touches of cool colours amid the warm, earthy tones.

Green plants, turquoise pillows, a purple rug — have fun creating eye-catching contrast.

Neutral tones To enhance architectural or decorative elements with burnt earth tones, you can also use shades of white (cream, ivory), beige (sand) or grey (stone, steel) on the walls, curtains, floors or bedding. This type of palette creates an elegant, refined look.

Metallic notes Is there anything more chic and timeless than a noble metal? To complement an earth-toned decor, opt for decorative objects (mirrors, tables, vases, lights, etc.) with a metallic finish. The best choices are: • Gold (yellow or rose) • Silver • Bronze • Copper Rust, • Brass

Three rules for remodelling your kitchen

Finally, for all your construction and renovation project needs, never hesitate to call on your local specialists.

Planning a kitchen remodel? Here are three golden rules you should follow to ensure your project’s success.

1. The work triangle When planning the layout of your kitchen, you need to consider the work triangle, a zone delineated by the washing, cooking, and food storage spaces.

This triangle is where you will spend most of your time.

For the kitchen to function well, the distances between the dishwasher (or sink), the fridge and the stove must be equal, or

almost equal. Don’t place these appliances too far apart.

2. Clearance Do you want to build an island in your kitchen?

Make sure to leave about four feet (1.07 metres) of space between your cupboards and your island so that you can move around easily. Similarly, plan for at least three feet (0.9 metres) of clearance in front of your dishwasher for comfortable loading and unloading.

In all cases, make sure that you can move around

without having to contort yourself, even when the fridge, oven or dishwasher door is open.

3. Lighting Generally, kitchens have four types of lighting: natural light (from a window above the sink, for example), general light (from a ceiling light or recessed lights), task lights (spotlights on your work surfaces) and accent lights (LED strips underneath the cabinets). Be sure to plan out the placement of your lights before beginning construction work.

Bathtub materials at a glance Sinking into a tub of warm, lightly scented water is definitely one of the best ways to relax after a long day. Are you in the market for the pefect bathtub? In addition to choosing the type of tub and faucet, you’ll need to think about the material you want your bathtub to be made of.

Here’s an overview of a few popular options.

Enamelled steel Covered with a layer of porcelain, this material is affordable and requires very little upkeep. It’s resistant to scratching, rust

and fading.

Acrylic Lightweight and easy to clean, acrylic is good at maintaining an ideal water temperature. A good choice for those who love long baths!

Fibreglass This material is similar to acrylic in many ways but is slightly less expensive.

Its thickness varies from model to model.

Cast iron This high-end material that calls to mind classic clawfoot bathtubs has exceptional longevity.

It retains heat well and doesn’t chip.

Stone Stone bathtubs are built from carefully carved and polished river stones. They have low porosity, they’re easy to maintain, and each one is completely unique.

Composite materials An array of synthetic materials with many useful qualities (superior watertightness, smooth finish, vast colour selection, etc.) are available for modern bathtubs.

How to prevent window condensation

Are your windows often fogged up in the winter? In addition to blocking your view of the outdoors, condensation reduces the amount of sunlight that comes into your home. The result? You have to heat and light up your space more.

Hello, epic energy bills!

Furthermore, condensation can damage window frames and cause numerous problems such as rust and mould.

How can this be remedied?

To reduce or eliminate your condensation problems, make sure that the ventilation in your kitchen and bathroom is as efficient as possible.

You can also maximize air circulation by opening your blinds or curtains as

Do you have a room to repaint? Are you looking for a quick, hassle-free way to achieve high-quality results? Self-priming paint might just be the answer.

This ingenious product lets you skip the step of applying a base coat, or primer, to seal and prepare the surface you

want to paint. The only drawback of self-priming paint is that it’s slightly more expensive than standard paint. That being said, the benefit definitely justifies the cost.

One coat or two?

Although some all-in-one products promise perfect coverage in only one

coat, experts still recommend applying two. Keep in mind that, for optimal results, two thin coats are better than a single thick one.

Visit your local hardware, paint or home renovation store to find the perfect self-priming paint to brighten up your home.

Happy painting!

often as possible. Try to maintain your indoor humidity levels at around 35 to 50 per cent. Don’t forget that some habits, like hanging wet clothes in the house to dry, can contribute to higher humidity levels.

Finally, if your windows are old, the best solution is to replace them with new ones.

Have you heard of colour zoning?

Colour zoning is a popular interior design technique that uses colourful sections of paint on walls to give any room a dose of character. Lines, rectangles, circles — no matter what shape you use to create your colour zones, the idea behind the concept is to invigorate a given space using colour.

Structure Colour zoning is a great way to visually divide a large room. Do your living room and dining room make up one big open space that you’d like to separate in some way? Use blocks of colour on the walls to define each area.

Highlight Colour zoning can be

used to make your favourite elements pop, whether they’re accessories (vases, decorations, mirrors, etc.), pieces of furniture or architectural features. This technique can also be used to compensate for a room’s dimensions (e.g. a low ceiling) or to mask certain defects (e.g. damaged walls).

North Stars: two wins, one loss on the road

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Following their overtime home win against the Melfort Mustangs, the Battlefords North Stars had to rest up quickly for three games in four days on the road.

The contests were in Humboldt Saturday and then in Warman Sunday and Tuesday against the La Ronge Ice Wolves and the Weyburn Red Wings.

The contest against the Humboldt Broncos was particularly notable as the first game for the North Stars against their divisional rivals since the April 6 bus tragedy. It was also the first game for head coach Brayden Klimosko against the team for which he had been a player and assistant coach. Both teams were motivated for a good showing, and as it turned out, the Broncos came out on top 4-2 for their first home win of the season.

Humboldt 4 North Stars 2

Humboldt got the lone goal of the first period as

Brayden Camrud scored from Owen Guenter and Luke Spadafora on the power play.

In the second, Derek Patter increased the margin to 2-0 with Liam Drager assisting. But the North Stars tied it on power play goals by Matthias Urbanski from Owen Lamb at the 2:52 mark, and then MacGregor Sinclair at 7:13 from Cody Spagrud and Braydon Buziak. For Sinclair it was his third goal of the season so far.

Humboldt was awarded a penalty shot at the 5:58 mark of the second period, but Joel Grzybowski came up with the big save for the Battlefords.

Unfortunately, the Broncos scored later on in the period. Chase Felguieras restored the lead from Daunte Fortner and Patter at 14:34, and Camrud got the insurance marker at the 16:16 mark from Fortner and Zach McIntyre.

The 4-2 score held up through the entire period to secure the Broncos’ win.

Grzybowski stopped 33 of 37 shots for the North Stars

while Dane Dow got the win for the Broncos stopping 23 of 25. Derek Patter was named the game’s first star with Grzybowski the second star.

North Stars 6 La Ronge 3

After that it was on to the SJHL Showcase at the Legends Centre in Warman.

Their first Showcase contest was Sunday against the La Ronge Ice Wolves, who they had met and defeated twice before in preseason play.

This time the North Stars got off to the early lead. Austin Becker got things started with his first of the season from Tanner Scott at 9:42, and then Braydon Buziak added to the lead at 11:41 from Elijah Loon-Stewardson and Seth Summers.

In the second period Ethan King cut the margin to 2-1 at the 1:47 mark, but Urbanski restored the twogoal cushion with Regan Doig and Cody Spagrud assisting at the 8:43 mark.

Mitch Zambon cut the lead to 3-2 on his third goal of the season, Antonio

DiPaolo assisting.

But with Jordan Mish off for high sticking, Elijah Loon-Stewardson gave the North Stars a 4-2 lead at the end of two with a power play goal. Ryan Gil and Quintin Loon-Stewardson assisted with 1:25 left.

In the third Owen Lamb got his first of the season 58 seconds in, with Seth Summers and Braydon Buziak assisting. Kolby Johnson cut the margin to 5-3 at the 13:13 mark, but the Ice Wolves could get no further. Brett Gammer’s empty net goal with 37 seconds left sealed the 6-3 North Stars win.

Jake Davidson stopped 22 of 25 shots to get his first win of the season in net for the North Stars.

Jordan Frey stopped 33 of 38 in the loss for La Ronge.

North Stars 3 Weyburn 2

The North Stars’ final game of the Showcase was against the Weyburn Red Wings Tuesday morning. In that contest the team got off to a quick early lead.

Owen Lamb scored unassisted at the 6:49 mark

of the first to make it 1-0, and then the North Stars expanded the lead to 2-0 on a goal by Ryan Granville. Urbanski got his fourth assist of the season on that goal.

In the second period Ben Hiltz got his seventh of the season on the power play from Riley Lamb to cut the lead to 2-1. The second period also saw multiple penalties for the North Stars and several power play opportunities for the Red Wings, which failed to get past netminder Joel Grzybowski.

The North Stars thought they scored later in the period on Riley Lamb, but it was called back on alleged goaltender interference, although the replay on Access indicated Lamb may have done some embellishing. In any event, it remained 2-1.

In the third period, the North Stars got the insurance marker they needed.

MacGregor Sinclair scored a highlight-reel goal with 4:57 left in the period to make it 3-1 North Stars.

That goal, beating a Weyburn defender en route to the net, got the attention

of the Access TV broadcast crew. On their post-game show, coach Klimosko agreed Sinclair’s goal was the goal of the tournament.

“He’s done everything for us so far,” Klimosko said on Access TV. He called Sinclair “a smart hockey player. He likes to compete, he likes to battle all the time.”

A roughing penalty call on Regan Doig made things interesting in the late going, as Weyburn pulled their netminder for a 6-on-4 with 1:52 to go. Weyburn’s Jordan Kazymyra did manage to score to pull Weyburn within one with 18 seconds left, but the Wings could get no closer than that.

The North Stars held on for a 3-2 final, outshooting Weyburn 42-33. That capped a sweep of their two games at the Showcase.

The North Stars’ have their season back on track with three wins in four outings, to move their record to 3-3.

The North Stars have a couple of days to rest up before returning to action Friday night at home to the Estevan Bruins.

High school golfers from across Saskatchewan had to battle some cold and unpredictable weather conditions in the Battlefords.

The North Battleford Golf and Country Club played host to the Senior High School Golf Championships, the first time they had returned to the area since 2006.

It took place on what was supposed to be the final Friday of summer, but it was near-zero temperatures and overcast skies that greeted the top male and female golfers from high schools all across Saskatchewan.

The golfers who gathered for the opening ceremonies Friday were ready

for the expected weather, wearing toques, mitts and other attire to keep warm in the cold conditions.

Despite the challenges play continued over both days, with Devrie Bloom of Turtleford Community School having the best result among Northwest golfers. Bloom placed fourth in the female category with a two-day total of 191. Placing first was Lauren Fox of Creighton Community School with 171.

Other Northwest golfers were Kaitlyn Yockey of John Paul II Collegiate, 10th with 215, and Jodie Myszcyzyszyn of Wilkie McLurg School shot 299 for 25th.

Twenty-five golfers vied for the gold.

Topping the male field was Jace Carlisle of Estevan Comprehensive with

154. Jaryd Natchengale of North Battleford Comprehensive High School had total of 175 in a three-way tie for 21st.

NBCHS golfers Keanu Foulds (178) and Colten MacNaughten (179) placed 28th and 29th.

Mathew Snell of Unity Composite High School shot 187 for 40th and Kyle Parker, also of UCHS, had a score of 240 to place 60th.

Noah Kowerchuk of McLurg High School was 44th with a 191.

There were 74 golfers in the male field.

In male team play, Prince Albert Carlton Comprehensive won gold with a 463 score, while NBCHS was fourth with 508.

Assiniboia topped the female field with 422.

It could not have been a more exciting way for the North Stars to notch their first victory of the season.

Matthias Urbanski put the puck in the Melfort Mustangs’ net with 19 seconds of overtime to secure a 4-3 victory for the North Stars last Thursday.

“Obviously it’s a great feeling any time you could get a goal like that,” said Urbanski after the game.

“Obviously everyone on the team put in a great effort tonight. Especially (Joel) Grzybowski, you can’t thank him enough.

Yeah, just everyone putting in a 100 per cent effort is wonderful.”

It had not been a perfect game for the North Stars by any means. They were badly outshot by Melfort at one point, and they also blew a two-goal lead.

But the club hung in, and got the crucial “w” they needed to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start to the season.

“I think the guys battled hard, it wasn’t easy,” said

coach Brayden Klimosko following the game.

“Whatever went wrong went wrong for us at times, but you know, we dug

in our heels and got two points. At the end of the day that’s all we can ask for.”

The North Stars opened the scoring at the 16:09 mark on Braydon Buziak’s first goal of the season shorthanded from Tanner Robin. The goal came with Brett Gammer still in the box serving a hooking penalty.

Justin Ball tied it at the 17:36 mark, and then Jacob Bayne restored the North Stars lead at the 18:11 mark with assists from Urbanski and MacGregor Sinclair.

A power play goal for Sinclair at the 13:31 mark of the second gave the North Stars a 3-1 lead. Urbanski got his second assist of the game on that goal.

But Ryan Granville was called for a kneeing penalty late in the second, and he was still in the box when Colin Schmidt found the net from Tanner Zentner and Carson Albrecht with a minute left in the period, cutting it to 3-2.

The North Stars lead disappeared 58 seconds into the third with Tyson Meyers’ goal. But Urbanski’s goal from Elijah Loon-Stewardson and Cody Spagrud won the game with 19 seconds remaining in the overtime frame.

Joel Grzybowski stopped 28 of 31 shots to get the win; Hunter Arps stopped 25 of 29 in the Melfort net.

It had been a close contest throughout. As for what made the difference, Klimosko said he believes his guys “wanted it just a little bit more.”

The win was a confidence booster for the team as they headed into a heavy stretch of games on the road.

“The boys deserved a ‘w’, they’ve been working hard lately,” said Klimosko.

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Here is a look at some of the sports action involving local teams over the past week.

good bacteria in your digestive tract can be impacted by environment factors and thus create imbalances in the gut flora.

An example of how this can occure is when women are placed on antibiotics. One of the side effects is the development of yeast infections, which can occur because antibiotics not only get rid of the bad bugs, but also the beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract. The results is an imbalance of micro-organisms that allows the proliferation of yeast and other not so nice bugs. Supplementing can not only prevent these imbalances, but also improve our digestion.

When it comes to dosage, we must first realize that there are in excess of 100 trillion bugs in our gut. Take counts of 1-10 billion is not even a drop in the ocean, yet we have seen results with 1 billion count probiotics. The reason for this is, there are some compelling evidence that what probiotics do is actually signal other bugs to get active. So the future of probiotics may move towards better delivery systems and not so much dosage count.

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

10. improve health 11. reducing the risk of cancer 12. reducing toxic overload The list can go on.

To understand why probiotics have such an impact on human health we need to realize that a well balanced digestive system is a critical component to overall well being. Food is broken down in the stomache, digested in the small intestine, then absorbed into the bloodstream for utilization throughout the body. An imbalance in beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract can distrupt this process leading to problems that span from acutly minor to seriously chronic problems.

The damage begins with impaired digestion that leads to reduction in beneficial bacteria.

This culminates in injuries to the mucosal gut barrier (the gut lining becomes porous) which leads to leaky gut that eventually allows large molecules to enter the circulation and create autoimmune reactions.

The best way to ensure that you are getting optimal levels of probiotics and prevent these occurences is to take them as supplements. New research is revealing that the population of

here is a new found interest in probiotics and for good reason. The little critters are showing scientists that they are more important than we first thought. The term probiotic comes from the greek pro - means ‘promoting’ and biotic - means ‘life’. Probiotics are dietary supplements that contain bacteria that are naturally occuring in the human intestine and are beneficial to health. These ‘good’ bacteria colonize our intestinal tracts and play key roles in maintaining nutritional status, effecting like: 1. restoring and maintaining healthy intestinal flora balance 2. limiting the growth of paitrefactive and pathogenic bacteria inside the digestive system 3. helping the immune system function 4. protecting gut surfaces 5. controlling the ‘leaky gut’ 6. controlling food allergies, intolerances and other reactions 7. may help symptoms of celiac disease, crohn’s, IBS and other inflammatory bowel conditions 8. controlling systematic and vaginal candida yeast overgrowth and infections 9. lowering cholesterol levels

Terry Fox Ride goes indoors Submitted Terry Fox struggled through the worst weather conditions Canada has to offer — wind, snow, sleet and heat.

The horseback riders of the Battlefords area were not so brave in 2018. The snowy and cold conditions on Sept. 22 dissuaded many from attending the annual Terry Fox Ride at Hidden Meadows Ranch.

Twelve brave souls ven-

tured out for a good cause.

Games on horseback were played in the indoor arena, including spoon and egg races, musical chairs for horses and slow walking contests.

A total of $580 was raised for the Terry Fox Foundation, which brings the total contributions of the horse community to nearly $75,000 over the 37 years of the ride.

Hidden Meadows

One of Unity’s biggest annual events, the Ag Society Fall Fair and Trade Show, takes place this weekend. It’s a highly anticipated event each year and even if you don’t go for anything else, it’s a great place to catch up with friends and neighbours.

There is a food booth on site with homemade pie and a pancake breakfast Saturday morning.

Last week, a giant blue pig named Penny was hiding in a different spot each day and you could see the excitement as “she” was discovered. Finders were encouraged by Unity Credit Union to snap a selfie and submit it through their Facebook messenger to be eligible for prizes. Many commented on the fun of this town-wide scavenger hunt.

The Warrior football team hosts Biggar on Oct. 4. The Warriors are playing the game in memory of Cole Bosch, a former Warrior player. Warriors will suit up in green socks, donated by Compass Miner-

als, and green tape to support and raise awareness for the mental health initiative. Villain Joint Ventures are guaranteeing a 50/50 draw prize of $500, with proceeds going to the local mental wellness program.

Green glow sticks will be sold for the cause and to get in the spirit of the night lights game.

Warriors were within a touchdown of Clavet, losing a back and forth game 84-78. They played Macklin, Sept. 21.

Unity Composite High School alumni have renamed their annual Thanksgiving volleyball tournament the Tyler Zunti Memorial Tournament with funds raised being earmarked for local mental health programs and speakers. Enter a team via their Facebook page or come and watch some great volleyball on Thanksgiving weekend.

With the jackpot now

over $7,000, more and more people are flocking to the Legion Hall on Wednesdays to “chase the ace” with the Unity Lions Club. With only 27 cards remaining, will the elusive ace be found or will the jackpot continue to grow?

SLC Students at UCHS returned from Langenburg SSLC conference enthused and full of energy ready to ignite their school with great ideas for the upcoming year. The UCHS golf team competed at provincials in North Battleford last weekend. The Warrior Robotics Club is set to host another all-night Minecraft Challenge in October.

Wednesday hot lunches are back and as are SADD taco salad events.

NWT sponsored 3-on-3 hockey continues until Oct. 4 at the rink. This Sunday you can catch the West Central Rage Junior B team from Kerrobert playing Carrot River Thunder at the arena, with a guaranteed 50/50 prize of $500.

The Unity Curling Club annual general meeting is Oct. 1sat 7 p.m. in the curling rink lounge. Registration nights will be Oct. 9

Landon Solomko, UCHS student, was part of the winning team in a mini version of “The Amazing Race” following keynote speaker Jon Montgomery at the Saskatchewan Student Leadership Conference held in Langenburg Sept. 19 to 21. Montgomery is an Olympic gold medalist in skeleton event from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and started the box jump onto podium movement. He is the host of the Amazing Race Canada. Montgomery gave the students the signal to start and met the winning team at the finish line. Langenburg hosted more than 900 students and advisors from across the province during the conference.

and 10 starting at 7 p.m. each night. This year the curling club is offering junior curling on Mondays starting Nov. 5 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. They are reintroducing “learn to curl” or improve your skills on Mondays starting Nov. 5 from 7:30 to 8:15 p.m.

The first four sessions are

complimentary and the program will continue as long as there is interest.

League nights are Tuesday and Thursday, super league on Wednesday and senior league during the week.

Coffee row participants are feeling the woes of farmer friends as the wet weather just doesn’t seem

to want to dissipate. Being that the Jays are almost done their season, the Riders are the sports topic at these tables. So you can see life is full of fun and activity in Unity with our friends at coffee row sharing this traditional part of our community culture.

Until next time …

Regional Optimist Russell Thomas Kemp of North Battleford, Saskatchewan passed away peacefully on September 20th 2018. He was born on February 10th, 1923 in North Battleford to Thomas & Gladys Kemp. Early in life Russell had a passion for farming. He enjoyed the outdoors, working the land, and watching his crops grow.

He will be remembered by family and friends as a kind, honest, humble man. Russell was predeceased by his parents Thomas and Gladys Kemp, brothers George, Gordon , Ronald and Allan, and sisters Elsie, Ethel, Irene and Ivy. Russell is survived by his children - Wayne (Carole), April, and Cameron (Gale), grandchildren Chantel & Brendon , great granddaughter Paizley Rae, and his brother Harry. I give you this one thought to keep, I am with you still- I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone- I am with you still- in each new dawn. The family would like to thank the staff of Harwood Manor for the care provided to Russell since 2012, and to Eternal Memories for providing their cremation services, their professional assistance, and their kindness during this time of sadness.

JOHNSON: Edward Allan Johnson passed away at the Riverside Health Complex, Turtleford, Saskatchewan on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 at the age of 100 years.

The Funeral Service in memory of Allan was conducted from Turtleford Baptist Church, Turtleford, Saskatchewan on Friday, September 7, 2018 at 2:00 PM with Pastor Brad Collins officiating.

Card of Thanks Eleanor Johnson and Family wish to thank Riverside Health Complex for their thoughtful and compassionate care they provided Allan during his stay there. Also, thank you to the community members who provided rides for Allan in recent years so he could commute to the complex and be with me. __________________________________________________ Kathleen “Joyce” Schell, age 86, passed away Sept 7, 2018 in the Battlefords Union Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She was born in North Battleford, Sask. April 22, 1932 to the late Art and Irene Webb and was the 2nd eldest child. Joyce grew up on the grounds of the Saskatchewan Hospital where her father tended to the orchards and greenhouses. She attended Battleford Collegiate Institute and over the years attended several school reunions. Her working career was spent primarily with Canada Safeway where she could be seen in meat or bakery departments. Her many passions in life included curling, golf, knitting, crocheting, baking and playing cards with family and friends. Joyce was a devout Christian and devoted much of her life to the well-being of St Paul’s Anglican Church. Her commitment to that parish and her faith was shown by her involvement in the ACW, the Choir, the Church Secretary, the Altar Guild and the PMS Ladies, better known as the Pie Making Society! She moved into Caleb in July 2016 where she enjoyed the camaraderie of many of her long term friends. Joyce had an immense love of her family and is survived by her brother Ralph Webb (Janet) her children Doug (Dorothy), Cheryl, Lyle (Barb), Wendy ( Robert Thompson) Elizabeth “Beth” Gregson (Keith), Brent (Vonda), Deborah “Debbie” (Dave O’Donnell), 26 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces.

The Battlefords, Thursday, September 27, 2018 - Page 35

Sharp tongues go dull when memory fails I asked Ed yesterday if he could remember the last name of a fellow we both knew in Melville.

The fellow had a wife named Ruth and his first name was Gene, but their last name was not anywhere near the tip of my tongue.

Ed remembered the couple as regular coffee drinkers at the Dairy Queen downtown. He could not recall their last name either. He was determined however that the name would come to him and he would tell me the next time we talked.

We discussed that the tongue is powerful, but only if there is a memory to go with it. The tongue may have the power

of life and death in it for those who have not forgotten who they are talking about.

It is said tongues can grow sharper in old age, but that does not account for those who cannot even remember where their glasses are to be found. Remembering other people’s names may come and go in old age and, thus, praise or slander cannot do much harm or good to the nameless.

The tongue is a small facet of our body that may boast of great things. It can be like a lit match setting a forest ablaze. It can cause both great good and harm.

Bits put into the

mouths of horses can guide their whole bodies.

There is nothing that humans can put in their mouths to control what comes off their tongue except a gag. Who can completely control their tongue?

The Bible says, “No human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly

poison. With it, we bless our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing.

These things ought not to be so.”

The tongue may reflect pride in a heart that has forgotten God. In arrogance, we may speak

evil against one another.

How can this be when we know God is the only lawgiver and judge?

Who are we to judge our neighbours?

We struggle and fail to treat our neighbors as we would want to be treated. We cannot save and destroy, only God can.

Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged.

For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but not notice the log that is in your own eye?”

The Bible also warns us not to use our

tongues to grumble against one another. Nor should our tongues be used to deceive others, with exaggerations and promises. We should be trustworthy with our yes, a yes, and our no, a no.

We should be as good as our word.

Jesus warned that using our tongues for prayer should be done privately not to be seen by others.

He said, “When you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” (Keep prayers brief as God knows what we need before we ask.)

Worship Together Spend some quality family time together. Worship at the church of your choice.

Our community has a number of churches and a variety of denominations for you & your family.
