Break-in season heats up in Cochin By John Cairns Staff Reporter
COCHIN — Residents in the community of Cochin are on guard, contending with a wave of home invasions over the last few weeks. “We’ve had a large quantity of break-ins,” said Cpl. Paul deBruin of Battlefords RCMP detachment.
He said at least 25 houses have been broken into in the village, located about 30 km north of North Battleford. The village is a resort community, consisting mainly of cottages and other houses, and the RCMP is finding the break-ins usually Please see ‘Culprits’ Page 3

Election fraud charges laid By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
Two Red Pheasant First Nation men, including a chief removed from office after an Indian and Northern Affairs Canada investigation, have been charged in relation to a 2005 band election. Charles Meechance, 50, and Bert Benson, 45, are to appear in court in North Battleford for plea on June 18. The Saskatoon office of the RCMP F Division Com-
mercial Crime Section has charged Meechance with seven counts and Benson with four counts under Section 125 of the Criminal Code in regards to the band election held on the Red Pheasant First Nation in April 2005. The charges, say RCMP, relate to giving or procuring money to be given as consideration for assistance to secure the appointment of Meechance to the office of Chief of the Red Pheasant First Nation. Meechance became chief
in that election, but an appeal was launched and officials at Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) subsequently nullified the election results and ordered a new election. INAC’s investigation had found some voters had been given money for their mail-in ballots, and in the subsequent Feb. 22, 2006 election, a new chief, Sheldon Wuttunee, was elected. Last month, Meechance’s supporters submitted an appeal to Indian and Northern
Affairs Canada (INAC) against the March 8, 2008 election in which Wuttunee was returned to office. The appeal stems from questions regarding mail-in ballots, and allegations of corrupt practices, says Trevor Sutter of INAC. The fact that Meechance has been charged does not impact the process of the appeal into the 2008 election, Sutter says. INAC is still in process of gathering information, he added.

It was an unusually busy night, and day, for North Battleford’s firefighters Friday. Two three alarm fires — one at Main Street Autobody on 100th Street, the other at Great Wall Express restaurant on 102nd Street — caused damage to two area businesses. North Battlefords Fire and Emergency Services the RCMP responded just past midnight to a three-alarm fire that caused extensive damage to Main Street Autobody. The fire originated in a vehicle, which became fully engulfed in flames, spreading quickly to the nearby autobody shop. The business sustained extensive damage, including structural damage
to the roof. Three units of fire crews and nine fire personnel were called to the scene and fought the blaze for over four hours. There were no injuries. The fire is currently under investigation by the RCMP. Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Battlefords RCMP or Crime Stoppers. Fire crews were called to Great Wall Express restaurant at 1082-102nd St. at 3 p.m. Friday. Witnesse said the restaurant quickly filled up with smoke. Fire crews responded quickly and were able to get the blaze under control. There were no injuries. It is not known what caused the blaze, however people who were on the scene said it was unlikely this was a kitchen fire.

Major league award for tourism volunteer Gold Eagle Casino employee training recognized By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Jane Shury of the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame never expected to get her own bobblehead. At last Friday’s Tourism Awareness Week luncheon at Crandleberry’s Grill in North Battleford, however, she received a specially-made Tourism Volunteer of the Year award – complete with bobblehead. It’s considered a career milestone in major league baseball for a player to have bobblehead dolls made in their likeness. Some officials at Battlefords Tourism were worried it might appear too flippant to make an award in the
shape of a bobblehead for Shury, but Shury was pleased. “That is quite amusing,” said Shury, of the award, adding she never expected to be a “bobblehead.” She said the award will go in a place of honour where everyone will see it. In awarding Shury with the Volunteer of the Year award, Battlefords Tourism noted her “tireless” volunteer activity, spending more than 1,500 hours operating the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The museum also hosts a vintage baseball game each June, as well as an annual induction ceremony each August. They also noted her nickname: “Mrs. Baseball.” The Saskatchewan Baseball Hall

of Fame is located at 292-22nd St. in Battleford and displays more than 4,000 items of baseball memorabilia including baseballs, bats, trophies, uniforms and documents. Battlefords Tourism credits Shury with bringing approximately 10,000 visitors to the Battlefords through her efforts at the Hall of Fame. “The Baseball Hall of Fame has become quite an attraction for tourism,” Shury said. “We’ve come to the stage that people recognize that we have history in the Battlefords, not just in other areas, but also in sports and specifically baseball.”
She said she has been involved for decades as her husband Dave Shury was the founder of the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame. Another major award winner was Gold Eagle Casino, which was presented the inaugural Employer Tourism Training Award. That award recognizes a business that demonstrates a commitment to the tourism workforce through professional recognition, training and excellence. In selecting Gold Eagle Casino for the award, Battlefords Tourism
made note of their high training standards for employees as well as exemplary levels of customer service. Gold Eagle Casino provided 30 staff members with Serve It Right Saskatchewan training in the past year and has a cumulative total of 144 participants in Service Best customer service training. Roger Anderson, senior operations manager at Gold Eagle Casino, accepted the award. “We won the award for the amount of training we put our staff members through,” said Anderson. “And we prepared them for future endeavours.” Battlefords Tourism said the casino is the largest single tourist attraction in the area, with a staff of close to 300 people and gross revenues of over $30 million. “We, as an organization, are always proud of any accomplishments,” said Anderson. “Anything we can do for staff members, we are always proud of that.” A number of certificates recognizing volunteer contributions were also handed out. The recipients included Donna Fuhr of the Visitor Information Centre; Jeri-Lynn Johnston for her efforts to help bring more conventions to the Battlefords; Bob Read, Ray Nolin and Bob Pearson (Dimestore Fisherman); Sherry Woytowich; Brendan Manz representing Fort Battleford; and Table Mountain. Members of the Battlefords Tourism board received certificates. Donna Challis also received recognition for her contributions as chair of Battlefords Tourism.
Tourism relocates to the heart of the city By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Battlefords Tourism has new offices to call home. The promotional organization is now up and running at their new location on the fourth floor of the Royal Bank Tower in North Battleford. It’s much different from their old location at the Visitor Information Centre at the Chamber of Commerce building on Highway 16 and 40. They are no longer running the centre, hence the new office location. The new offices are located right in the heart of downtown North Battleford and a ceremonial ribbon cutting officially opened the facility. “We want the public to know where we are and we want to be as high profile as possible,” said Owen Einsiedler, tourism development officer. The facility has two fulltime staff as well as a summer student. Marketing the Battlefords
is the primary focus of Battlefords Tourism, Einsiedler said, with tourism awareness a smaller mandate. “Our main function is to attract people to the Battlefords from outside the Battlefords.”
Their work involves considerable travel to promote the area. “Most of our work actually involves being outside the Battlefords,” said Einsiedler. The new offices display a special video prepared last
year to promote tourism in the Battlefords. It was two years in the making through a partnership involving tourism, the Regional Economic Development Authority, First Nations and the Battlefords Centennial Committee Donna Challis, chair of
Battlefords Tourism, said the new facility is good for tourism and said there has been a great response to the new offices. “People know what we’re about and know what we’re doing,” she said. She said the grand opening kicks off the tourist season in fine fashion. Challis also has high hopes the new tourism offices will help the efforts to attract conventions to the Battlefords. “One of the big things we’re really excited about is

the convention and meeting packaging,” said Challis. “We want to turn the focus towards bringing conventions of the 250 to 300 size to the community.” Promotional packages have been put together to bring such events to the community. Conventions have the potential to generate a lot of money for the Battlefords, she said. Battlefords MLA Len Taylor was on hand for the official ribbon cutting and said the community has benefited from the work Battlefords Tourism does. “This is a group of people who work hard to support the tourism industry and promote attractions in the community, attractions we have a right to be proud of,” said Taylor. He also said people in the Battlefords should not take those attractions, such as the Western Development Museum, the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame and others, for granted.

Sask. Party has eye on the Battlefords By John Cairns Staff Reporter
Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz was in the Battlefords to meet Saskatchewan Party faithful June 11. The Deputy Premier Dinner, hosted by the Saskatchewan Party Constituency Association at the Tropical Inn in North Battleford, was well attended by party supporters, area MLAs and civic officials. Both mayors, Julian Sadlowski of North Battleford and Chris Odishaw of Battleford, were at the dinner. Area MLAs Michael Chisholm, Randy Weekes and Tim McMillan also attended. One local MLA was missing from the gathering, though, and he was on Krawetz’s mind that evening. “Let’s find Len Taylor a new job,” said Krawetz, referring to the Battlefords NDP MLA who was reelected in the 2007 provincial election by over 300 votes. “With the enthusiasm, with the efforts that I see possible in this constituency,” said Krawetz, “I know that we can indeed find a new job for Mr. Taylor.” Krawetz fired up the gathering of over 100 people by urging party members to ensure that, in the next election, the Battlefords becomes a Sask. Party seat, “just like we have taken Yorkton, just like we have taken Meadow Lake,” he said. He reminded people the next election is Nov. 7, 2011,
the fixed election date set by the party in accordance with a campaign promise. Krawetz, who also holds the education portfolio, told the audience what the Sask. Party has done in govern-
DEPUTY PREMIER KEN KRAWETZ ment and about the busy life of a provincial cabinet minister. He talked of the amount of travel he puts in, but he says it is worth it. “I didn’t spend 12 years in opposition to not want to be busy now,” said Krawetz. He talked about the booming economy in Saskatchewan and the activity in the energy sector. Krawetz said that there is great optimism a new record will be set in upcoming auctions of the lease rights for
oil. The last land auction in April raised a record $265 million from companies looking to explore Saskatchewan. That kind of money would allow the government to move ahead with a number of infrastructure projects, he said. “Now is the time to do it,” Krawetz said, while revenues are flowing. Krawetz said the Battlefords is already seeing money coming in from the provincial government. “I announced the fact there has been a 15 per cent increase in the revenue sharing grants,” said Krawetz. “That’s something that both of these mayors had been advocating.” He said the Battlefords will see more money for education and to create early childhood spaces, as well as additional money for highway development. There is also the education and property tax rebate. “Every taxpayer in the city of North Battleford and the town of Battleford will receive some additional tax rebate from the provincial government because we have increased that to $156 million dollars.” Krawetz said he has come away from his visit to the Battlefords with a greater understanding of the issues facing the area. He spent the day prior to the dinner touring the Battlefords and visiting area facilities with the mayors. His stops included the opera house, Fred Light museum and Battlefords Dis-
Culprits usually looking for alcohol say RCMP Continued from front involve products normally associated with holidays and long weekends. “What we’re finding is a lot of the time they’re breaking in to look for liquor that people have left behind,” said deBruin. A number of other items have also gone missing. He said many cabin owners are upset their places are being broken into. “They’re frustrated is what they are.” The thieves are getting in by kicking doors down and smashing windows, deBruin said. Sometimes the thieves break in and don’t find what they are looking for. “In some cases, where they haven’t left liquor, people are kicking in the doors, smashing windows, and finding nothing and leaving,” said deBruin. They make a mess, but leave without stealing anything. Break-ins have been an ongoing problem but deBruin said this is the highest the area has seen in a couple of years. Several people are in cus-
tody and a number of those apprehended have pleaded guilty, said deBruin. Other cases are under investigation. Cabin owners in the area have said break-ins are something they have had to be vigilant about for the last few years. The main activity seems to take place during the spring and the fall months when people are either just arriving or leaving. Ernie Callow, former Cochin mayor who still lives in the area, said cabin owners need to be “prudent about protecting their valuables and their cabins, to say the least.” He advises that when people leave their cabins they secure their properties, remove any liquor and “hide things if they have to,” he said. Callow said the thieves are mainly after “liquor and things that can be easily disposed of.” He said he personally has not been hit recently by break-ins, but he did have some bad experiences with the problem a few years ago. He said a friend’s cabin was broken into a couple of weeks ago with thieves stealing about a half dozen beer.
Callow has not heard of an increased break-in problem lately from friends or neighbours, but has noticed a stepped-up police presence. “I’ve noticed the RCMP around the village a little more lately, and I think that’s a positive thing,” Callow said. The RCMP confirms it has stepped up its enforcement activities in the area. “We’re trying to catch them in the act,” deBruin said. He said one cabin owner chased a thief off his property and police dogs were able to track the suspect down. The RCMP is asking for the public’s help with any tips they have and are asking they contact them or Crime Stoppers. Callow said that with RCMP programs and volunteer involvement in neighbourhood watch type programs the situation will get under control. He also advises residents to “get to know your neighbours” so they can look out for their property and report suspicious activity when they are not in the area.

Krawetz said he and Mayor Sadlowski talked about growth in the city and the potential for transportation development and the future of air travel into the city. “As Deputy Premier, it was a great opportunity to lis-
ten and hear about concerns,” Krawetz said. Mayor Chris Odishaw said it was a productive day touring with the minister. “I think it’s important, when the deputy premier comes through, that you need to get on his map. You need to get him to remember you,” he said. Cut Knife-Turtleford
MLA Michael Chisholm said the evening event was a good one for party supporters. “With Ken it’s always pretty close to the sleeve. He says what he believes and people appreciate that,” said Chisholm. He said the party is targetting the Battlefords for the next election because of the close race last time.
Taxi increase official By John Cairns Staff Reporter
The much-discussed hike in taxi fares cleared its final hurdles at North Battleford city council Monday. A bylaw to amend the Taxi-Cab Bylaw, which sets taxi rates for the city, was unanimously approved. The starting rate on the flag is $4, and each additional 69 metres costs 10. Waiting time is $29 per hour. The bylaw takes effect immediately. The taxi fares are being increased to keep up with the price of gas and mainte-
nance costs. Coun. Don Buglas noted at council that taxicab drivers wanted to thank council for their response to the issue and added that there were plans to move towards more energy-efficient hybrid taxis in the future, which would mean less need for fare hikes. Bylaw passage does not end the issue of taxi-fare regulation, however. Council is currently looking at whether the city should continue to regulate taxi meter rates and the issue of transit options is still on the table. Further discussion of these issues is expected at the regular municipal services committee meeting next week.
Festival of Trees committee seeks waiver of rental fees By John Cairns Staff Reporter
North Battleford city council received a request from the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation Festival of Trees organizing committee, asking council to offset rental costs for their event. BUHF is seeking $1,738 from the city. The money would pay for rental of the Don Ross Centre, which they have booked for the week of Nov. 24-30. In return the city would receive complimen-
tary tickets to festival events and inclusion in various marketing materials. The Don Ross Centre would represent a change of venue, as the events were previously located at the Western Development Museum. That raised the eyebrows of some councillors. Coun. Grace Lang mentioned, in the past, the WDM had recouped some of the rental fees. Coun. Don Buglas said he wanted more financial details and whether

the museum was recouping some fees. “This is basically covering our costs,” Buglas said of the proposal on the table. “I would appreciate further information.” The request has been received by council and decisions on whether to grant a full waiver will be dealt with at a later time. Proceeds from the 2008 Festival of Trees will go toward purchasing medical equipment for Battlefords Union Hospital.

Power drives progress to uglification Dear Editor It is quite a few years since we land owners had to form an alliance against our own power company after we were (finally) informed that a huge east-west power line was to traverse our lands to serve the heavy oil upgrader near Lloydminster. The line was to run past buildings, and miles and miles of windbreak, natural or planted, were to be destroyed. Although, in several cases, farming operations were made difficult, with no yearly pole rent, at least we kept the line away from farmsteads and saved the windbreaks. Now we learn that, in two weeks time, at the height of bird nesting season, SaskPower plans to arrogantly enter our lands and destroy all those windbreaks. Right here, we are on a height of land, at the mercy of the wind. SaskPower claims they will plant lilacs and saskatoons. Oh, how cute: shrubs. How much wind will shrubs stop? The plan for the power line, when we saw it years ago, had a big jog in it, to go around “a possible, proposed golf course.” Now we know what is important! Perhaps if I found out the location of the favourite golf courses, or the equivalent of the owners of the big oil companies, I could drive a hundred head of cattle across them. Does the head of SaskPower golf? Of course, I’d be arrested and charged, but I’m not an oil company, or SaskPower. And isn’t the operative word “power?” We have lost everything unique or beautiful, at times areas’ histories, to the heavy oil industry. We live in choking dust and uglification, but we are expected to put up and shut up, because of the money. I’m sick of greed and arrogance and indifference disguised as progress. “Put not your trust in princes or in any other man,” runs an old saying. It goes without saying, “and never, never trust your own government.”

Industrial agriculture has failed Dear Editor Industrial agriculture has failed according to a new report sponsored by the World Bank and the United Nations Food and Agriculture organization. It calls for a fundamental change in farming that better addresses food shortages, soaring food prices, hunger and social inequities. The World Bank estimates, in the near future, 33 countries will face social unrest and riots because of the food shortages and the high cost of food and energy. Who is responsible? The World Bank needs to accept its share of blame for this crisis. During the last several decades its policies have forced many millions of farmers in poor countries to shift their production from staple foods to feed their own people to export crops destined for world markets. This reduction in local food crops is a big reason for the food shortage we see today. The shortages are more than a problem of production shortfalls, they are a problem of unfair distribution and economic inequality. The transnational agriculture corporations that manufacture and control the goods and services farmers must have
to grow their grain must also accept a big part of the blame for this food crisis. I am pointing my finger at the suppliers of fuel, fertilizer, machinery, herbicide, seed and rail services and more could be included. In recent years these transnational corporations have reaped record profits at the farmers’ expense. Grain producers, meanwhile, have been forced to operate under the cost of production. Thousands of grain producers have been forced to leave the land in recent years. Much land is no longer used for grain production because of excessively high operating costs. We have the potential to produce much more grain, but have been unable to do so due to the greed and power of a few transnational corporations. If this is allowed to contine there will be much more hunger on planet earth. Laws must be legislated in individual countries and at world levels that condemn profiteering on food as a crime against humanity punishable by fine and/or incarceration.

High price of fuel
Hard to squawk when it pays my bills Heading out on a bus junket Lunch Learn and Golf with the Petroleum Society, Lloydminster section in mid-May, it wasn’t hard to tell my vehicle from the rest in the parking lot. It was the tiny little piece of crap Chev Metro that would hardly account for a speed bump compared to a good number of the other rigs in the parking lot. Indeed, in this parking lot, it effectively was a speed bump. Loud at highway speeds, uncomfortable, and unbearably

mpg, or less. And these were the more efficient, four cylinder varieties I was looking at. For a one-tonne duallie driver, mileage in the mid-20s would seem like heaven, but the idea of going from one of the most fuel efficient vehicles built in the last decade to something that gets half the mileage, it’s time for a gut check. Indeed, this past year I’ve actually had people tell me they are envious of my car. That’s been a surprise. One even suggested in jest we trade – her minivan for my tin can. At some point, I will have to get something more rugged, more powerful and more comfortable. Having room for the family might be handy, too. My wife tells me that when we eventually do get a new vehicle at some
point, be it a minivan or SUV, something has to go. That something, in her mind, is my cheap little Metro. I just can’t stomach the idea of getting rid of such an efficient runabout, even if my paycheque is now paid by the high price of oil. It’s kind of like getting rid of a relative. You see, my uncle Metro was so pleased when I bought a car named after him. I told him the car is just like him — cheap. I hear you can’t give away a used SUV these days, so maybe that’s the way to go. It looks like no matter what I do, there is only one way to go – to the gas station – to pay my paycheque. — Brian Zinchuk is a reporter with Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net.
By Brian Zinchuk hot in summer, nonetheless the reliable tin can has been my wheels for 10 years. It didn’t fit in during my pipelining days, and I doubt it will fit in now in my Pipeline News days. Back when I got it in 1998, it was physically impossible to put $20 of gas into this little miser. Now, not so much. I think I actually cracked the $40 mark in recent weeks. For me, this was something of a surprise, but to everyone else who works in the patch, that might get you to the corner store. For them, stopping at the gas station goes something like this: “Fill ‘er up?” “Nah. Stop at a hundred.” It’s mighty disingenuous for pretty much anyone in the oilpatch to squawk too much about high fuel prices. If you work in the patch, paying at the pump means paying your own bills. It’s the high price of oil that’s paying our mortgages, and financing the big, shiny toys. In southern Ontario they have a saying – buy the car your neighbours built. This is kind of the same thing. That doesn’t mean, on an individual basis, we might not look at lowering individual operating costs. In my case, I’m more interested in keeping them low. For example, I was looking at SUVs the other day – something that is tough enough to take onto a right of way without it snapping in half. The ability to be pulled out by a D8 dozer when, not if, it gets stuck is a bonus. That means a body-on-chassis frame, not a car-like unibody. Four-by-four would probably be a good idea. In other words, I was looking for something that would eat my Metro for breakfast, and burp impolitely afterwards. Looking at fuel mileage ratings, however, had the gulp instead of the burp being the gastro-intestinal sound of choice. My Metro used to consistently get 50 miles to the imperial gallon, but now sees more like 45 (Its sticker said 66 mpg on the highway, but I have never achieved that.) Even the smaller SUVs guzzle gas. Talking to the dealer, the more realistic mileage on some of these units was 24

Fuel prices will give tourism gas pains Admittedly, the pain at the pump is hurting every industry in every part of Canada; every part of the world, for that matter. High gas prices are going to be particularly hard on Saskatchewan’s tourism industry, however, and it really couldn’t come at a worse time. Of course, gas prices are hammering a whole lot of industries, so maybe we shouldn’t single out tourism. Agriculture has been hit this spring with additional costs in putting the crop in and things are only going to get worse by harvest. In fact, all of rural Saskatchewan, that relies more on its vehicles for business, recreation and the necessities of life, is being hit hard by gas prices. It should also be noted the combination of a high Canadian dollar and high gas prices is hammering the tourism industry everywhere in this country. Arguably, other economies will feel it even more than we do. At least in Saskatchewan we are getting the offset of these high gas prices in high oil revenue, windfall land sales and increased job activity. If you are in Southern Ontario you are obviously that much more reliant on nearby American tourists. (If you are in Windsor or Oshawa and are seeing the impact of layoffs in the auto industry, you will likely find this whole tourism debate particularly annoying.) There are a couple reasons this potential blow to Saskatchewan’s tourism is something that should concern us all. First, generating $1.4 billion annually and employing
some 53,000, tourism in Saskatchewan is a big deal. We’re talking about a major contributor to the provincial economy. Adding to the problem here is the fact some of our best tourism amenities are in the northern half of the province, making them that much more expensive for American tourists to reach. (Heck, it’s even going to make it harder for those of us who live in southern Saskatchewan to make our way north.) And, anything that hurts our ability to sell Saskatchewan, will hurt on a lot of levels right now.
The Provincial Scene By Murray Mandryk Consider what you know about the amenities in other jurisdictions and just how much of it comes from the TV tourism ads and brochures. It’s pretty much the same thing for those who live a great distance from our province. What many in the United States and elsewhere in Canada know about this province has come from successful
tourism and promotion campaigns. Beginning with the 2002 “Wide Open Future,” through to the “Saskatchewan, Naturally” tourism ads and including a more recent billboard campaign, aimed at attracting people in Southern Ontario here for jobs, we’ve made an investment in nurturing our image as a cool place to not only visit, but also to live and work. This is especially true in rural Saskatchewan where creative initiatives from Kipling’s red paper clip to Rouleau’s Corner Gas to St. Walburg’s brilliant living spaces project are grabbing worldwide attention. People are starting to see Saskatchewan as something more than flat and dry. They are seeing it as a place they might want to be — perhaps for only a short visit, but perhaps even longer. They also recognize it is a place that’s maybe a little off the beaten path — one that requires a substantial investment in time (and now gas money) to come see. After all, seeing all Saskatchewan has to offer requires a bit more effort than flying into Toronto for a week. Unfortunately, higher gas prices will motivate people to stay closer to home. That will hurt an isolated province with a small population base. And all this comes just as there’s starting to be a bit of buzz about Saskatchewan. The pain at the pump will hurt on a lot of levels. — Murray Mandryk of the Leader Post is a veteran observer of the Saskatchewan political scene.

Gardeners dream of season’s bounty By Joyce Campbell Correspondent
The weather is pleasant and conducive to outdoor activities. Gardening has a special appeal. The garden plots have been tilled and some happy folks have been busy seeding their plots. The flower beds are receiving transplanted annuals and soon plenty of beauty will be found. Mother’s Day was
honoured here. A large gathering of residents met in the lounge for a tea. The hallways sported appropriate decorations and delicate pink flowers decorated the lounge. Lovely carnations had arrived as ordered. The proceeds went to MS research. May 8, a memorial service took place here to celebrate the life of Maurice Dupuis, who passed away May 1. Pastor Deb McNab of Living Faith Chapel conducted the service. Quinn Eberle played
memorable hymns on her violin. Attending was Michael Piche from Sallows and MacDonald Funeral

Shuffleboard tourney draws 12 teams By Thelma Kendall Correspondent
Hi there! We do complain about our weather don’t we? When we look at the cyclone devestation in Burma, the earthquakes in China and the tornadoes in the United States, I think we are pretty lucky to live right here in Saskatchewan. Let’s just count our blessings. May 3, Eleanor Taylor celebrated her 80th birthday with family and friends in the lounge. A lovely visit over coffee and cake made a nice social afternoon. We were pleased to have Harold Anderson and his Fid-
dlers Three entertain May 9. They were Harold, Marilyn Richardson and Ron Spence, with his two chidren Skyler and Logan. We enjoyed the wonderful violin music. The
Rev. Fred Tinio officiated. A few of us from Tower II attended the service. Our sympathy goes out to her family and friends. We had a shuffleboard tournament May 21 and 22. Twelve teams participated. On Thursday evening winners were declared. They were (in order of first, second third): A Event - Bob and Cecile; Lawrence and Anna; Dora and Katie; B Event Orville and Elizabeth; Laurine and Thelma; Ruby and Rosemarie; C Event Ada and Evelyn; Martha and Mario; Joan and Alice (who was absent so subs played in her place).

The tournament was so successful and enjoyable that we plan to have more in the future. Anne Kotyk had a very entertaining month. On Mother’s Day her family took her to see the famous Crooked Trees. Her grandchildren are musically talented, so she goes to see them perform at different music festivals. They have won several awards for their dancing at the Don Ross Centre. To continue celebrating her 80th birthday, Eleanor Taylor travelled to Sherwood Park to visit her daughter and son-in-law for two weeks. Then all her family, consisting of grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and two sons from Brandon, Man. gathered in Calgary. Eleanor is blessed with eight children, so 29 sat down for a birthday supper. Our sympathy goes out to Edith Lockhart whose brother passed away recently.
He lived in Kelowna, B.C. Get well wishes go out to Dick Martin who is in hospital. We are also thinking of Lee Wright, who is at Battlefords District Care Centre.

Youth’s lives changed in a weekend By Shayleen Isaac Freelance Reporter
Over 60 teenagers from the Battlefords loaded vans, buses and cars May 25, to enjoy a weekend of intense worship, powerful messages and tons of fun in Edmonton. Many of the youth were excited, as the Living Faith Youth had scored second row seats in Rexall Place, a 17,000-seat stadium, and the Territorial Alliance Youth Group was not far behind with seats in the 28th row. However, the extreme outpouring of God’s love that transcended the huge stadium was more magnificent than anyone could have imagined. Frank Kessler, a youth who went to Youth Convention for the first time this year said, “YC is a great time but more than that it is a place to fellowship with other Christians, because we don’t get enough of that in our every day lives.” The trip to Youth Convention has been made annually for nearly 20 years. The dedi-
cation YC may have many roots. Fellowship and worship were a main focus of YC Alberta this year, as the
theme was “Passion.” YC imported top-notch bands from all over the world to lead in worship. These included Tim Hughes from the
United Kingdom, Papa San from Jamaica, Newsboys from Australia and Skillet. Side shows including Thousand Foot Krutch and Pillar. Besides the music, the youth enjoyed numerous games and activities, as well as comedy teams such as Bailey and Bean and Panic Squad. These groups held workshops and taught some of their tricks of the trade. Many who attended agreed Reggie Dabbs, an American motivational
speaker, was the highlight of the weekend. Stealing the show with his humorous thoughts related to being a large black man, Reggie won his way into every heart. However, Reggie’s history also broke every heart in the room, as he was the product of his mother selling her body to pay her rent. Because of this, Reggie could relate to every youth in that stadium who had pain, and encouraged them to let it go. His motto was, “carpe ciem,”
which is latin for, “ seize the day.” Frank Kessler said, “He really drove home that life has value.” After YC, many youth from North Battleford joined the Reggie Dabbs fan club. Despite all the famous bands and powerful speakers, the emphasis on passion for God always remained clear. Several youth agreed that, in all of their times at YC, they have never met God there like they were able to this year.

Hockey theme picked up off waivers When firefighters hear the sound of the fire alarm they rush to the fire hall and out to the fire. When Canadians hear the Hockey Night in Canada theme song they jump on the couch for another exciting night of Hockey Night in Canada.
Our newsroom discussed the song leaving the CBC and the first reaction was, “they can’t change the song.” Give her the money she wants or she will have to accept less, but this song has to be a part of Hockey Night in Canada. Later we huddled around
Cey What? By Trent Cey When the news broke that CBC and Dolores Claman, the creator of the theme song, were not able to reach a contract agreement, due in part to the lawsuit she filed against the broadcasting agency in 2004, fans cried out that the song can not be left off the air. Nearly 38,000 people have joined Facebook groups in three days hoping that the song would not leave the air and CBC would not let this 40-year tradition die. FUMBLE!!! The CBC dropped the ball and CTV has picked it up and will run with it forever. CTV Inc. has bought all rights to the song, in perpetuity, for $2.5 million. As general managers of the NHL prepare for the free agent market, CTV, TSN and RSN have picked up what will be the biggest move of the summer. “Canada’s Second National Anthem” will no longer be the theme song to introduce the Hockey Night in Canada package of Coach’s Corner, The Hot Stove and the Saturday night double header. Now it is teamed up with Pierre McGuire’s monster, Bob McKenzie and Maggie the Monkey. Last week Scott Moore of the CBC formally announced a contest to create a new theme song. The winning entry will receive $100,000. Could that money not have gone into an effort to save the song everyone can hum along with? It would have been a start anyway. When CBC thought Don Cherry was no longer needed on their show, fans were outraged and he is still with the CBC. They rallied to support his off-the-wall comments. Surely that support could have been shown for Claman and her jingle.
the computer and listened to potential replacements, with the winning candidate that day being BTO’s Taking Care of Business. The more I thought about this, and the more I search for a suitable replacement, something Canadian, exciting, energizing and different, the more I hoped that the two sides would reach an agreement and it would stay with on CBC. The shocking transaction by CTV shows they were able to recognize the importance of this song to Canadians, something that CBC has
apparently missed. To explain how important this news is to Canadians, I decided to write this article about the 40-year-old song instead of the Toronto Maple Leafs signing a new coach and making a change to win the Stanley Cup (or make the playoffs at least). I have the song as the ringtone on my cell phone and to many other Canadian hockey fans this is as much a part of Canada as Tim Hortons. Possibly we, as fans, have taken this song for granted, but, believe me, now that it has relocated for next season we will notice. When you think of great theme songs, Jaws is one that comes to mind, another is for the Rocky movies, but this tops the list in my opinion. When the 2008-09 season starts, more TVs will be exploding since they are programmed to go to CBC as soon as that song starts, now they will be forced to go to TSN, which recently improved their contract with the NHL to broadcast more games with Canadian teams. As the Stanley Cup finals ended and CBC was about to go off the air, a friend and I sat watching the final clips of the playoffs as CBC highlighted the monumental moments. My friend, who also grew up with the tune playing in his living room, turned to me
and said, “Are CBC kidding? What is this song?” The highlights were presented with music that was more suitable for ballet than hockey. After another amazing season of Hockey Night in
Canada they finished with a poor choice of music. We can only keep our fingers crossed they don’t continue where they left off. Some people believe another song will be fine and a CBC official said in five
years of not hearing the song we will forget about it. We will forget about it on that channel, but it will still be a strong hockey memory for many Canadians growing up, just now CBC won’t be part of those memories.

Battlefords hosts jr. tourney The North Battleford Golf and Country Club was host to some of the best young golfers this province has to offer. The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) is a professionally run tour which gives young golfers a chance to learn the sport and compete at a competitive level. Jesse Gibson of Saskatoon shot a tournament low score of 141, in the boys 14-16 division, with an impressive 5 strokes under par on the second day. Gibson now will play on the MJT Team Canada in Scotland at the most famous golf course in the world, St. Andrews. Conley Kriegler was first in the boys 13 and under division with a two round total of 158. Brad Blair of Lanigan was the boys 17 and up winner with a 143 score. In the girls event, Thea Hedemann shot a 165 to capture the win. Three locals competed in the event and faired well on the home course. Taylor Cook competed in the boys 14-16 and shot an 81 and 76 to finish with a 157 score, good enough for 13th. Tyler Wilson finished in a tie for 25th with an 86 and 85 for a two round total of 171. Dean Fafard, who is 17, was tied for fourth place with a 151 in the boys 17 and up division. Among the locals, 53 golfers competed and had only great things to say about the course. “My highlight was the fantastic weather and the great condition of the course – it’s a great experience play-
ing different courses,” said Hedemann of Saskatoon. Dana Johnson at the Golf and Country Club was happy with the turnout but says that some younger golfers feel intimidated playing in a tournament like this. Overall, the tournament
Mosquito baseball
was a great way to showcase the challenging course and hopefully this is something that can help steer younger golfers to the sport. The next stop on the MJT in Saskatchewan will take place on June 14 and 15 in Swift Current.

Baseball Hall of Fame inductee FRANK SPENRATH Frank Spenrath left an indelible imprint on the game of baseball in Saskatchewan with his tireless efforts towards growing the game at the grassroots level. Spenrath was born Jan. 9, 1933 in Bruno. He has built a long legacy as an official, on and off the field, with the Saskatchewan Baseball Association in the Lloydminster area. Spenrath’s involvement encompasses nearly 25 years, starting in the mid- 1960s, as a volunteer, coach, umpire and director. Spenrath held a lengthy tenure as Lloydminster Minor Baseball president and
the city’s SBA representative. Despite his success as a builder, his greatest contribution to baseball was in officiating. He worked all levels, from mosquito to Westerns, where he was behind home plate for two championship games, and national levels in junior, intermediate and senior. Along with being the home plate umpire for Western Canadians he worked one national championship game in his career. Spenrath, along with his long time friend and fellow inductee, Bob Jack Sr., spent countless hours on the road driving across the province
to work baseball tournaments and SBA playdowns. In 1984 Spenrath was inducted into the Lloydminster Sports Hall of Fame for his contributions to baseball in the community as well as his involvement with the school board and hockey. Spenrath was married 46 years to his wife Olga before she passed away in 2004. Spenrath still resides in Lloydminster. He has three baseball playing, umpiring and coaching sons and five grandchildren. Spenrath has committed himself to a lifetime of service to his family, friends, community and the sport of baseball.

Keeley-Shae Somers from Battleford Central School won the age nine girls division with 24 points. Jake Lane, also from BCS, led all boys with 39 points and won the nine-year-old boys division. With 29 points, Avery Fransoo, from St. Vital won the girls age 10 division. Kansas Stone of McKitrick was the boys 10-
year-old winner with 19 points. The 11-year-old girls winner was Jadie Fennig of BCS with 25 points. Jesse Odishaw from Central won the boys division with 28 points. For the 12-year-old division Brianna Halewich of St. Vital has 20 points in the girls category and Steven Herriot of McKitrick finished in first
Dominguez not ready yet The Roughriders went into the second week of 2008 training camp with something of a dark cloud hanging over the team. In an interview with The Score Sports Network, Rider GM Eric Tillman revealed star receiver Matt Dominguez likely won’t be back in the lineup until Aug. 1. Dominguez hasn’t played since Week 10 of the 2007 season when he tore his knee up in a game at Winnipeg.
The Roughriders and the City of Regina shelved an announcement planned for May, when they’d hoped to reveal the first stages of renovations to Mosaic Stadium. The euphoria which surrounds the defending Grey Cup champions heading into 2008 has forced the club to dream much bigger. “We thought we were very close to an announcement but you know what’s happened, with this great enthusiasm and what’s happening in the
“I thought I would be ready to start training camp,” said Dominguez, “I was gearing myself up for it, whatever that meant in terms of reps. I don’t know. I think that everyone operates on the ‘rather safe than sorry’ scenario. If I’m not back by the start of Game 1, I’m not. So they say Aug. 1, and if I’m not back beforehand, their projection was safe.” Dominguez was leading the league in receptions and receiving yards when he went down. However, Tillman says, there are plenty of capable replacements for Dominguez including rookies Weston Dressler and Adarius Bowman, or returning players Mike Washington, Carl Berman or Vincent Marshall who were on the practice roster in 2007.
province, I think there’s been a realization that this is a wonderful opportunity — let’s not blow it,” said Rider President and CEO Jim Hopson. “Let’s do the stadium right and make this a 30 or 40 year fix, rather than a short-term fix. So the project has got much bigger in scope. We’re not just talking about some lipstick and some elevators ... it’s about a completely new, renovated, rejuvenated Mosaic. But we’re still hopeful though that within this football season you’ll see some vision and some pictures of what we want to do, and some hard dollars and where they’re coming from.” The Riders played to 97% capacity last season, and are on pace to do it again. After a week of two-a-day
workouts, Rider coach Ken Miller gave his team a reprieve on Sunday, allowing all 80 players to participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk For A Cure. The move was made to support Riders’ defensive lineman John Chick, who’s lived with Type 1 Diabetes since he was 14. Chick wears an insulin pump under his pads during games. “I was scared to ask coach Miller because I didn’t know if that would be over the line,” explained Chick, “I’m affected by the disease, I have family members who have it or did have it. But when the team came back and said they were coming, I was in awe.” Miller said having the team participate in the 5K walk around Wascana Lake was the least they could do to support Chick. “One of the great things about the Riders is our commitment to working in the community,” reasoned Miller, “It gives us an opportunity to go over there and mingle with people from the community, but also provides us a little break from the normal routine. It lets the players get their legs back a bit, so I think it was a refreshing thing to do.” NOTES: The Riders’ first preseason game is at home this Friday against the B.C. Lions at 7 p.m. at Mosaic Stadium ... On June 1, the football team announced the Labour Day Classic is sold out ... On June 5, the Riders traded rookie running back Jamal Robertson to the Toronto Argonauts for nonimport veteran defensive back Leron Mitchell.

Celebrated with grand community store opening By Lillian Blackstar Freelance Reporter
Treaty Day at Moosomin First Nation turned out to be a day of fun-filled activities enjoyed by the community. The day also marked the grand opening of their newly opened gas bar and community store. The June 3 event began with treaty payments at the local arena. Information booths circled the room, set up by Miwayawin Health, SIGA, BATC, Moosomin Day Care and Moosomin Justice. Representatives of the Government of Canada distributed the payments, a mere $5 per person. The payment has never increased since the signing of Treaty 6 in 1876, but the $5 payment has symbolism that people come out to celebrate, say many First Nations people. A barbecue was set up outside the arena, with burgers, hot dogs, refreshments and down the road were the youth playing in a soccer tournament. Later that day, five teams of competitors met down at the creek in nearby Cochin to begin relay races. The teams of five set out in canoes down the creek towards the bridge going into Moosomin First Nation. From there a runner was passed the baton for his trek into the reserve. At the arena, a team member carried the baton on bicycle to the race track, where the final team member received it on horseback to make a final race around the horse track. Winners were members of the Clifton Saddleback team. The day wound up with rubber tire wagon races at the race track. “I’d like to thank and welcome everybody for attending our grand opening,” said Chief Darlene Swiftwolfe. “Today is a special day because our treaties are sacred.” The chief indicated the new store was a common investment shared by all band members and the revenue generated from the store would go to support community programs. She also said, in the future, they will be looking at expanding the business into other areas, like a coffee shop and a bakery. She says the new store was made possible through proceeds from specific land claim dollars. Moosomin’s Specific Land Claim was the result of the government’s unlawful surrender of Moosomin reserve lands in the Highgate area, just west of the Battlefords, in 190809. Treaty 6 was signed between the Canadian monarch, the Plains Cree and

Treaty Day powwow at Red Pheasant By Lillian Blackstar Freelance Reporter
A powwow celebration was held at Red Pheasant First Nation’s Treaty Day June 5. Many invited guests and dignitaries participated in the grand entry. The Treaty Commissioner, and former Minister of Indian Affairs, Bill McKnight, who is also an honorary chief for Muskeg Lake First Nation, was also on hand to mark the significant event. Also attending were North Battleford Mayor Julian Sadlowski and Battleford Mayor Chris Odishaw. Invocation was by Mike Peyachew and honour songs were sung by Wild Horse drummers as the colorful array of powwow dancers entered the arena. Also participating in the grand entry were some of Red Pheasant’s finest athletes and Red Pheasant Mother of the Year, Jeannette Bugler. BATC chief and council and CEO Neil Sasakamoose also joined the procession, which included cadets, veterans, elders and the cultural committee of Clifford Wuttunee School. Chief of Red Pheasant Sheldon Wuttunee expressed his gratitude to everyone who attended the day’s event and
thanked the Clifford Wuttunee School’s Cultural Committee for organizing it. Treaty Commissioner Bill McKnight also addressed those gathered. “I’d like to compliment you on the changes I’ve seen in your community. You certainly have progressed. “I’d like to compliment the leaders.” McKnight said, “My responsibility is to see that the Crown’s responsibilities are fulfilled as my forefathers and yours originally signed them.” Mayor Sadlowski said he looks forward to the developments Chief Wuttunee has initiated. “I’m honoured to be here on behalf of myself and the residents of Battleford,” said Mayor Odishaw. “This is my first grand entry, I’m looking forward to many more.” He also indicated he looks forward to working with Red Pheasant First Nation. A special presentation was made by Chief Wuttunee to Order of Canada recipient Gerald McMaster. There to accept the gift was his mother, Lena McMaster, and brother, David McMaster. McMaster is the second Red Pheasant member to receive the award, the first being renowned artist Allen Sapp.

People are hungry in the Battlefords By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
Last month, the Food Bank in North Battleford handed out over 500 hampers to hungry people. Many of those hampers represent families, says executive director Bill Hall, bringing the Food Bank’s clientele up to about 1,100. Thursday, June 5 was National Hunger Awareness Day, a day to recognize that hunger is an issue — even in countries like Canada. This year’s theme was “the face of hunger will surprise you.” “The whole idea is that people would be surprised at who comes to the food bank. It’s just not what you’d expect,” says Hall. “Neighbours, working people, senior citizens, First Nations People, the whole of society comes through our door,” he points out. “Some are regular clients, some just use us once in a while, but we’re here to help out.” The annual “hunger count,” done by food banks across Canada in March, indicates 46 per cent of those making use of food issued by North Battleford’s were children. Other demographics indicate 87 per cent were First Nations or Metis, 28 per cent were women, eight per cent were seniors and two per cent were students. Hall is encouraging the public to visit the web site hungerawarenessday.ca to
sign a petition urging the government to consider hunger an issue in Canada. Food banks across the country would like to see access to food a basic human right. “Our governments pay lip service to it, but in reality it’s not really a human right in this country.” Hall says they have concerns about the rising costs of rent, fuel and food, and they have anecdotal evidence which indicates usage of the food bank is going up. On the positive side, the provincial government recently gave a donation of $440,000 to assist Saskatchewan’s food banks in obtaining meat that was part of a federal pork cull program. “That pork would have gone into rendering plants, or simply been tossed away.” Hall, who also serves as executive director of the Food Banks of Saskatchewan, hopes it will be enough pork to last the province’s food banks for a year. Vanessa Barthel, a 27year-old stay-at-home mom who is currently finishing Grade 12, is both a volunteer and a client of the Food Bank. The mother of a nine-yearold boy and an 11-year-old girl, stretches her food dollar by buying bulk when she can, and augmenting it with food bank hampers once a month. (Clients may access food every two weeks). She volunteers three days
a week at the Food Bank because she likes helping people. Her education goals include taking psychology classes. The bonus is her kids are seeing the value of volunteerism. Her daughter loves to come in to help, says Barthel. To use the food bank, clients must present identification and residency, but no proof of income or referral is necessary — except for the Christmas hamper program. “We want to make the system as easy as possible without people feeling they are being subjected to one more screening,” says Hall.
Hunger Awareness Day Food Bank client and volunteer Vanessa Barthel and executive director Bill Hall show off the Wall of Hunger, signed plates representing only about 10 per cent of the visits made to the Food Bank each month.

To give or not to give a tough question By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter
“Do we give them out, or don’t we give them out? I guess that’s our question.” Not everything donated to
the Food Bank in North Battleford can be considered “nutritious.” Some of what they get isn’t even food, but they are not ones to look a gift horse in the mouth. A basic food hamper given

out at the Food Bank, says executive director Bill Hall, is worth about $30. In that hamper, they try to include some kind of vegetable, either canned or fresh, pasta or potatoes, bread or buns, a dessert and, whenever possible, fresh or canned meat enough to last a day or two as emergency rations. They sometimes also give out items such as doughnuts, granola bars or candy bars, however. Hall says they don’t consider offerings of sweets and candy to be part of the basic hamper. “That’s thrown in as an extra,” he says. Not everyone wants foods that aren’t considered nutritional, he says, and on occasion there have been complaints, but others appreciate them as a treat they couldn’t afford otherwise. “We deal with a variety of people, and we go back and forth as far as the chocolate bars and the doughnuts and things like that go,” he says.
“We’d rather not give them out in one respect, because we realize they are not nutritional, but on the other hand, some families appreciate the fact that they have something extra, things they can’t afford.” Client and volunteer Vanessa Barthel says she appreciates the extra treat for her two children. It’s something she couldn’t afford to buy. Many of the items the Food Bank receives as donations come from corporate donors, locally and through a national food sharing program. These are usually products that have to be removed from the shelves of stores for various reasons, but are still usable, and they come by the box to the Food Bank. Hall says they sort through them (and are particularly grateful to a group that comes from Lawrence School to help out), to determine what can be used and what must be discarded.
Mixed in with nutritious and useful items may be candy or items as odd as scalp relaxing formula. Based on food safety guidelines, the Food Bank determines what can be given out safely. Some items that have a particular shelf life in a store, he says, may still be perfectly good, so they are given out. Others, like baby formula, are discarded after the expiry date. “We follow Canada’s food safety guidelines, and just because it says it’s expired, it’s still nutritional.” Hall says the Food Bank is heavily involved in food safety, explaining it is one of five pilot food banks in Canada taking part in a food safety standard project. They plan to offer education for clients as well, so they understand why they are receiving items which may be past the best before date on the packages, and why extra items such as doughnuts and candy are offered.

He prepares a place for his children Our inward measure of time is often affected by the strength of our anticipation — or apprehension — of what is ahead. For example, if the day to come will bring a joyful reunion, it may seem during the night that the dawn will never come. If we expect to face a painful trial, the morning seems to speed toward us on chilly wings. This experience has its spiritual parallel. The prospect of death can fill some with dread, but for others it awakens a hopeful longing. Faith in Christ can make a big difference. Many times there is an evident contrast in the funeral service for a committed Christian, and for one who had no certain hope beyond the grave. I have seen it too in conversations with the elderly who struggle with infirmity. The face of a woman in our community comes to mind as I write. Though hardly able to walk, she still presents a shining testimony to those around her. Several times she has said to me with a smile, “I am
just praying the Lord will take me home.� There is a waiting that is redolent with dread and anx-

ious fear, but for the Christian there is a waiting that is bathed in the sunshine of hope, and an anticipation of glory to come. It is the earnest desire of the Saviour that we share His fellowship in heaven. Just prior to the cross, Jesus prayed, “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am� (Jn. 17:24). He encouraged the saints with these words: “In My Father’s house are many

where I am, there you may be also.� (Jn. 14:2-3) Hannah Kilham Burlingham (1842-1901) was brought up in a strict Quaker home. As a young girl, she was fond of music, though she never learned to play an instrument. In her early 20s, Hannah withdrew from the Quakers and joined the Plymouth Brethren. Always gifted as a poet, she then turned her attention especially to the writing of hymns. She was a frequent contributor to a magazine called The British Herald. The English author also proved herself adept at translating hymns from German, making them available to a whole new audience. Perhaps the best known of these is O Jesus, Friend Unfailing,

which expresses her own testimony: “O worldly pomp and glory, / Your charms are spread in vain, / I’ve heard a sweeter story, / I’ve found a truer gain.� Someone who knew her said, “I never met anyone who loved her Bible as she did . . . Her love for her Lord and Saviour was deep and real, and one felt that with her, all else must take a back place.� Several of Hannah Burlingham’s hymns bring out the truth of the Lord’s return. Because she died at
the relatively young age of 59, there is a tender irony in one that begins, “The glory shines before me; / I cannot linger here.� A sudden illness developed into a form of meningitis, and in three days she was gone. Most of her best known verse was published after she died. Another of her compositions is called I’m Waiting for Thee, Lord. In its simple phrases we sense her glowing anticipation of being ushered into the presence of Christ. The hymn begins, “I’m
waiting for Thee, Lord, / Thy beauty to see, Lord; / I’m waiting for Thee / For Thy coming again. / Thou’rt gone over there, Lord, / A place to prepare, Lord; / Thy home I shall share at Thy coming again.� The promise of Christ to take Christians to be with Him eternally at His return is the “blessed hope� of the church. (Tit. 2:13) “Thus we shall always be with the Lord.� (I Thess. 4:17) It is for that glorious day that His children wait.

A century of recording the weather By Danica Lorer Freelance Reporter
MAIDSTONE — Jim Maxwell still has the first weather observation logbook from the Waseca volunteer weather station. The entries begin in July 1907 and were observed and recorded by William Goodridge who then passed the duty on to his son Walter. In January of 1943 the responsibility was passed on to Harry Rowed. In November of 1945 Bob McPherson took over and in 1995 his son-inlaw, Jim Maxwell, began a term that has lasted 13 years so far. The Waseca station is one of the longest continuously serving volunteer stations in Saskatchewan, just finishing up its 100th year. In the beginning, weekly reports were mailed to Winnipeg. In the 1950s the method of reporting was changed to wire or telephone. Today, online reports are filled out with no paper records to be filed. In 1978 the thermometers and gauges were changed to

to call to report tornadoes or severe thunder storms. Maxwell is able to look back through the books to find the hottest and coldest days in recorded history and the record precipitation numbers. He says the job is important because the information goes into the records that are studied to show the long term trends in weather. Darren Tessmer says 100year awards are rare. He also gave out two 50-year plaques last week. There are only about 80 volunteer weather stations left in Saskatchewan with many more automated stations. The weather stations
Celsius and metric but Maxwell still has the original thermometers used decades ago. Today, all of the thermometers are the same across the country, calibrated so the readings are standardized and official. Last week was environment week in Canada and Darren Tessmer, head of the Meteorological Service of Canada programs, was on the road presenting long-term service awards to volunteer weather observers. An award for 100 years of weather observing in Canada was presented to the McPherson and Maxwell families with recognition given to the Goodridge and Rowed families as well. Volunteers read the temperature twice a day, recording the minimum and maximum temperatures and the daily precipitation. The thermometers are housed in ventilated boxes so they are shaded, offering an opportunity to get the true air temperature without the sun shining on them. Volunteers are also severe weather watchers and have a number

are more accurate than home weather stations because of the standardized thermometers and placement rules. The long term data is used to make statements about climate change and warming trends. Daily readings have been recorded in Canada since 1840. “It’s a lot of data, a lot of numbers. Scientists can make predictions because they have scientific facts and can make predictions about the future from past readings,” Tessmer explains. “They can see warming and cooling trends without argument because the numbers are documented and archived.” He says the long term stations are important because, if stations are only 15 years old, it is only possible to see short term variations. Volunteers are valuable to the program, Tessmer adds, because it requires a lot of commitment to take the twice daily readings. Tessmer says he is impressed with the families and individuals who make the long term commitment.

Elementary track and field athletes set new records By Danica Lorer Freelance Reporter
MAIDSTONE — Under sunny skies Ratushniak Elementary School students enjoyed their track and field day May 28. The youngest students tried their skill at races, throwing and jumping, while older students took the competition more seriously. Grade 6 student Jay Sutherland broke a record in the standing long jump event with a jump of 2.03 metres. Colton Foster ran the 800m
in 3:48 setting a record for 12-year-old boys. Teagan Pegg was the star of the event breaking three 12-year-old girls’ records. She jumped 3.78 metres in the running long jump, 2.13 metres in the standing long jump and ran the 800m in 3:09. Teagan celebrated another milestone with her father Jug Pegg. He has been a volunteer group leader at the school’s annual track meet for 18 consecutive years beginning with his first daughter Dallas, through Katlin and
Cougen and finishing up this year with his youngest daughter Teagan. This is Jug Pegg’s last year to pull the big wagon filled with lunches and extra clothes, rake the sandtrap, record scores, and encourage the girls in his group as Teagan moves on to the high school in the fall. Parent volunteers and teachers put extensvie work into the event and children enjoy the competition and the opportunity to be recognized for their abilities on the field with ribbons that are treasured and stories to be told.

One wonders why there is such a huge crop of them this year. Jim and Jean Blyth of Cochrane, Alta. arrived June 1 and were overnight guests of Murray and Lynn Blyth. They spent some time driving around the area noting the many changes that have taken place since Jim lived here. Jim and Jean’s two daughters are now both members of the teaching profession. Shannon is a Grade 3 teacher in Calgary and Vanessa is teaching in Thailand. Our best wishes to Marion White of Cut Knife who celebrated her 90th birthday June 6. I understand she had
more than one birthday party. One celebration was on the evening of June 4 when Ted and Shirley Wesson, Eilson and Keith Evans, Lois and Gerald Pike, Shirley Young and Helena Pike travelled to Cut Knife and enjoyed supper with her. After supper, the group moved to her home where they enjoyed a good visit, then gathered round the table for birthday cake and coffee. The birthday cake was made and beautifully decorated by Eileen Evans. Congratulations to Lynn and Murray Blyth who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary June 8. It was a full day for them with family and a come and go tea held at the home of their son Darran and his wife Nichole. Many friends and family members enjoyed lunch and coffee with Murray and Lynn as well as an opportunity to do lots of visiting. Everyone also enjoyed sharing their anniversary cake and persuing an album and pictures taken of the many happy events in their years of marriage. Murray and Lynn were married in St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Forest Bank. We wish them many more happy years together.

tre is located in the space recently vacated by the credit union next to the fire hall. There was a good turnout with a lot of interest. The people in charge are looking into having someone who will guide and advise individuals on working out and possibly some group training. Extensive research went into deciding on which equipment to bring into the facility. There will be a cost to using the facility, but organizers are trying hard to fit the needs of all with daily, monthly and yearly plans.

LOOKIN’ AROUND TOWN
Phone: 892-2224 bbzurowski@sasktel.net tryside (which is something I often do) it is interesting to see how different farmers approach the use of their surroundings. There are areas that are beautifully treed, showing the work those of the past have done to both protect and beautify their environment. Next I come upon an area where a bluff has been bulldozed down. That does not seem to have any positive effect. When I see this I wonder what the person who spent their hours nurturing these trees would think of the situation. I guess it is the same with every property as they change hands; each person has their own ideas as to what they view as beauty. Where one person loves coniferous surroundings another prefer to have deciduous and flowering trees around them. Yet others want things wide open with nothing to block the view and someone else would rather be surrounded in a cocoon of foliage. In many cases it seems we are accepting of one
another’s different choices, but on the odd occasion I have heard comments as to “how someone can enjoy living like that.” This is often caused by not understanding where the other person has come from and their total background. I love a mixture of all types of flowers and trees and to be enclosed by as much of nature’s beauty as I can. I love dense bush. Contrary to
this, an uncle who was taken fishing in the northern forests of our wonderful province, was extremely claustrophobic. The only time he was comfortable was when he was out in the middle of the lake on a boat and could see for long distances. We each have our preferences, due to where we were born and raised. My uncle was born south of Regina where you can see far enough
to watch your dog run away for three days straight. I was born where there was a lot of bush. The only problem that comes is when some people cannot accept others’ preferences resulting in prejudice. Quote: When folks do not agree on something it is not as much that there is a right and a wrong, as much as there are two different opinions that both have their merit.

She married Bill Kitson on November 26, 1931 and they worked on various farms in the Plenty district before moving to North Battleford in 1960, where Mom worked at the Saskatchewan Hospital until retirement. She was a very active community person, enjoying gardening and the sport of curling of which she started at the age of 9 and she was able to continue until age of 79. Mom was noted for her infectious laugh and quick wit and always had a large circle of friends and neighbors wherever they lived. She conveyed a wonderful love for her family including her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great - great - grandchildren that brought much joy throughout her life and indeed in her later life where she always loved to have all the little children around her. Mom’s life was a life well-lived. We will always be thankful for that. Music Ministry was provided by Organist ~ Mrs. Doreen Gilles, Soloist ~ Robert MacKay sang “In The Garden” and the hymn selection was “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”.

few times and has not seen or spoke to him for over 30 years, but to this day he still remembers and talks about Joe working at his elevator. Wow what a good impression Joe could make on people. Joe and Iris enjoyed their summer holidays. He stressed, that when you have time off, go somewhere. Get into the vehicle and travel. Through the years they travelled to places throughout the United States, but Joe’s heart always took him back to British Columbia particularly the Victoria, Kelowna, Fairmont and Radium areas. When Cheryl and Marcy got older and it was not cool to holiday with parents, Joe and Iris would go anyway and every fall managed to come home with more fruit than they knew what to do with. In 32 years, they missed travelling to B.C. once. Last winter Joe and Iris toured the western United States including California, Arizona, Montana, and New Mexico. They couldn’t leave their annual tradition of visiting B.C. and found themselves in Kelowna once again. Joe enjoyed and loved his grandchildren tremendously. Halyn and “Papa Joe” spend hours riding up and down escalators at shopping malls and when they weren’t doing that, they would spend the rest of the day colouring. Drew and Grandpa Joe enjoyed the many puzzles and the fast paced card game of Ready Freddie which resembles 52 Pick Up. Holly spent countless hours cuddling beside Grandpa in the hospital and helped put the day’s aches aside. Joe always said ‘speak your mind’ if you have something to say, and never stay mad at anyone - words that he lived by and others have learned from. Joe enjoyed the regular Saturday meet with his friends at the A&W where they would talk over morning coffee. As we could all attest to, Joe was always good for a few jokes and loved to tell a few at family gatherings. Joe was always sought after for advice and quick to lend a hand when needed. He was a man to be trusted and above all, trusted people. Each of us has some form of memory of Joe. It may be in the form of saying, a special occasion, joke or just that special memory of my husband, dad, grandpa, brother, uncle Joe or to most ‘Joe’. His memory will be alive and with us forever. Card of Thanks The family of the late Joe Reiter would like to say thank you for the flowers, food, cards, phone calls, Masses, donations and to Sallows and McDonald Funeral Home for all their support, Reverend Father Val Besas for the lovely Mass, Sister Pauline and Shirley Reiter for the readings, Dave Lauinger for delivering the eulogy, the St. Joseph’s Choir, the C.W.L. for the lunch and all who attended Joe’s Funeral Mass. Memorial Donations in memory of Joe may be made to the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation or to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Interment took place at the cremation section of the City of North Battleford Cemetery.

REITER - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph Reiter, late of North Battleford, Saskatchewan on May 27, 2008 at the age of 68 years. The Funeral Mass was held on Saturday, May 31, 2008 at 10:30 a.m. from the St. Joseph Calasanctius Roman Catholic Church 1942 - 98th Street, North Battleford, Saskatchewan. Joe was born on August 10, 1939 at Tramping Lake, Saskatchewan to Fred and Eva Reiter. He was the youngest of 10 children. It was at Tramping Lake that he spent his childhood, attending school and had a little teenage fun. Around the age of sixteen, he left Tramping Lake and the farm for the city of Regina, where he began working for the Coop. Seeking a career, Joe hired on with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and found his calling as a journeyman electrician. He was proud of the company and could always be heard telling stories of moving or building grain elevators. He was especially proud of the men he worked with and trained. Joe met the love of his life, Iris Small, in North Battleford. They married in 1968. Joe and Iris initially called Regina their home, which is also the birth place of their children: Cheryl and Marcy. As a family they would spend weekends travelling to their cottage at Cochin. It was in 1976 Joe took a transfer to North Battleford. After 32 years of working for the Wheat Pool he retired, to start his own electrical business. Joe originally planned to take on just a few small jobs to keep busy. It wasn’t long before the phone calls started. His small jobs turned into a full time job. He continued to work until his health would no longer permit. Joe’s work can be described in one word as ‘professional’. He believed in doing things right the first time and this quality showed as old and new customers kept calling. Joe met many people through his work, in fact I recently spoke with a retired grain buyer from northern Saskatchewan. He only met Joe a

was a small one in comparison to how large some were in those days, and that try as she did, having many children did not come easy to her. She professed that this fact made the ones she had all the more special and endearing to her. Proudly she spoke of how reliable and self-sacrificing my mother is; that in her quiet Huguette, she had found her most supportive and unrelentless advocate, and how beneath by Uncle Raymond’s strong and masculine exterior is the heart of a lion that purrs like a kitten. She mourned over her late son Charlie reminding me of how smart and ambitious he was. She looked forward to the day when she could see him again. And so life on the farm went on...developing close ties with the community, making lifelong friendships, being an active member of the Catholic faith, and learning to call this exact area home. Jacques and Lize have traveled from her homeland in Quebec with soil from her birthplace to accentuate the completion of the circle of her life. Grandma was known for miles as the talented seamstress that could fix, make, create anything that you needed, and that she did. Never turning a bride, bachelor or a neighbor away, even if it meant long hours of work. Her talent was spectacular and passed along to her daughter Louise, who in turn, I hope will not give up on me yet, but will one day teach me how to turn on that contraption that pushes thread through fabric. Grandma’s quilts are marveled over by her peers, sought after by her family, bartered for by the public, and swaddled by her husband. In fact, the most recent recipient of her famous quilts is her granddaughter Karen, who so humbly accepted this last precious gift only months before Grandma passed and in doing so, I believe Grandma had completed her goal to make each grandchild an heirloom to treasure for years to come. We have greatly appreciated her thoughtfulness and generosity. The great grandchildren have had the amazing privilege of knowing our mother of mothers, and her memory shared will live on within generations to come. She will be the angel we pray to. She will walk with us in our dreams. She will watch over our safety and guide us to the good. Card of Thanks Thank you to all who shared love and sympathy to my wife. To all the staff at Turtleford and BUH, thank you for trying to make Jeanne’s days more comfortable. To all who visited with hugs, flowers, food and prayers, thank you so much. Thank you to all of you that had a special place in your heart for Jeanne. Thank you for your shared memories. Robert L’Heureux
wonderful years together. Grandma gave up teaching to stay home and raise her children. She loved watching her son Terry play hockey and her daughter Connie ride horses. She lived on a farm near Handel, Saskatchewan, where Grandma and Grandpa resided until 2006. They retired in 2006 and moved to Battleford, SK. Grandma was her grandchildren’s #1 fan in everything they did. She loved cheering them on in softball, soccer, 4-H, dancing, guitar, and piano. She never missed a game or an event. She had a smile for her grandchildren that will never be forgotten. She was a dedicated member of the Catholic Church, a wonderful loving wife, mother and grandmother and a friend to many. She will be greatly missed by all of us, but never forgotten. We love you Grandma. Donations can be made in her honour to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Funeral Mass for the late Joyce Rohs was held at 10:00 am on Monday, June 2, 2008 from the St. Vital Roman Catholic Church, Battleford, SK, with Reverend Father Greg Elder as celebrant. Prayers were held on Sunday, June 1, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. with Rita Kedl presiding. Interment followed the mass at the Town of Battleford Cemetery, Battleford, Saskatchewan.
And whispered “Come walk with Me” Your weary hours Your days of pain Your troubled nights are past A part of us all went with you When you found sweet rest at last
L’HEUREUX — Mrs. Jeanne late of Aquadeo Beach and formerly of Jackfish, SK passed away on May 17, 2008 in North Battleford, SK. Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, May 24 at 2:00 p.m. Prayers were held on Friday, May 23, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. Both services were held from St. Leon’s Roman Catholic Church in Jackfish, SK with Reverend Father Ted Jerome as celebrant. Left to cherish Jeanne’s memory are her loving husband Robert of 63 years; her children Louise and her family Linda (Scott), Renée and Gene (Jimena); Huguette (Bill) and family Karen and Jason (Becky); Ray (Val) and family Regan (Denelle), Jeff (Jaime) and Brett; Charlie’s children Miguel (Tracy), Corey (Shana), Carly and Chad; great grandchildren Meghan, Kayla, Kaiden, Delainey, Cody, Courtney, Isaak, Aryanna, Daxon, Kaleb, Keegan and Isabella. Jeanne was predeceased by her parents Marie - Louise (nee Longchamps) and Ernest LePage; son Charlie; and brothers Gilbert and Leonide. Urn bearer for the Mass was grandson Gene Bohning. Offertory of Gifts was Moise & Mildred L’Heureux, Crossbearer was Jacques Palasse, Readings were given by grandchildren Regan L’Heureux & Carly L’Heureux, Servers were Tony & Med L’Heureux, Psalm was read by Gill Bellevance, Eulogy was delivered by granddaughter Renée Verhaeghe, Music Ministry was provided by Organist Marie - Anne Corbeil accompanied by the Camarilla Choir, Honorary pallbearers were grandsons Jason Cederwall, Miguel L’Heureux, Gene Bohning, Corey L’Heureux, Regan L’Heureux, Jeff L’Heureux, Chad L’Heureux and Brett L’Heureux. Eulogy The author Washington Irving wrote a short story of death and dying that read, “There is a sacred sadness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief..and of unforgettable love.” As we gather here in celebrating the life of Jeanne L’Heureux, struggling to maintain control as we usually do in such occasions, I invite you to freely feel whatever may come over you with each tender memory. Gregarious, special, determined, resilient, are some of the common themes describing an impeccable character, one so deliberately held by a classy lady and themes that have been expressed to me in quest of my clear understanding of how my grandmother so delicately left her mark on this earth. She was the eastern flower planted in the western sun, and grew 83 years of glorious color and beauty, seen and dispersed in all her seedlings and who now decorate the landscape. As a child she grew and lived during the dirty 30’s in Rimouski, Quebec, with her father, mother and 6 siblings. It was a time of hardship for all, including my grandmother ’s father who worked as a millwright while her mother maintained the home. At age 13 her mother suddenly died from childbirth complications, leaving her in charge of the family’s daily domestic needs and ending her childhood as she knew it. Determined to do the best she could, she worked hard at developing many skills such as enduring hard work, sewing flawlessly, nuturing children and our favorite, perfecting her cooking and baking so that we could one day overindulge. As she came of age, she found herself working in a chocolate factory and later a shoe
factory to help make ends meet. Uncertainty and disruption mounted with worries and fears of the coming of the 2nd world war, Grandma learned to be grateful for what she had, to carefully manage resources and to cherish her friends and family. Judging from the pictures, my grandmother was a stunningly beautiful young woman; petite stature, dainty smile, flawless skin, Hollywood good looks with style to match. So it’s no surprise to hear that among many other suitors, my grandfather had to polish up his charm for belle des moiselle. They met in St. Hyacinthe in the mess hall where my grandmother served her country by tending to the sailors’ need for sustenance while they were in training to go to war, and, whereupon a remote chance my grandfather was stationed for 5 months before leaving for service to the Navy. She told a story about how their first encounter (a wolf whistle) left little for her to desire and I believe she referred to him as a smart alec, who her aunt teased that she may find herself married to that ‘smart alec’ one day. How sharp her intuition was!!! Thank goodness she chanced a second glance and saw the sparkle and shine of this fine Saskatchewan boy, for if it had not been, Grandpa would have been robbed of the happiest day of his life; when she said yes to his proposal and our family would not have witnessed the love and care between 2 people so perfectly suited to one another. After a whirlwind and passionate romance the 2 were married on December 23, 1944. Soon after, he was aboard the HMCS Mahone heading to face the Battle of the North Atlantic, surviving attacks from the German submarines that were targeting convoy supply ships. Grandma was set up in an apartment in Halifax, surviving city riots, and watching her tummy grow with the anticipated bundle of joy that was soon to be my mother, Louise. Grandpa tells a story of how alone and scary it was for her, knowing only French, getting by on very little money, and supplementing her income with her sale of American cigarettes that he would bring on his days leave inland. By July of 1945, a plan was constructed for Grandma to take the long train’s journey to the other side of the world - so it must have felt-to be united with my grandfather ’s family in Saskatchewan and await his return from the recently ended war. Upon her arrival she made fast friends with her mother-in-law, recovered from the shock of rural living, and set out to create a new home for her family to be. Grandpa’s youngest sister Jacqueline, who was all of 6 years old, fell to her knees in prayer upon the first vision of Grandma. She was overwhelmed with the notion that this beautiful lady in powder blue was the blessed virgin herself. Over the years the L’Heureux family has found no boundaries naming Jeanne their closest sister, their precious aunt, their adorable friend and confidant. To my understanding, there had been may discussions as to what kind of lifestyle this classy lady would expect, and being a farmer’s wife was not going to be a part of it! Grandpa recalls promising her he would support and provide for the family by using his skills as a welder. However, once he was discharged and ready to work so were other young men with the same skills and ideas. Therefore, a farmer she became. I can only imagine how hard he had to work over the years to make it up to her. For instance, being the first farm to have a new fangled generator, producing electricity for the home, as the alternative was coal, oil and wood. After my mother, Louise, 3 more children came along with very unique gifts and views of the world: Hugette, Charlie and Raymond, all equally feisty and fun-loving and would keep my grandmother busy tending to the next injury, accident or folly. “Being a mother has been the most important role I have had” Grandma told me one night before her death. She stated that her family

Checking in with Cameron Mathison Weekday Early Morning By John Crook © Zap2it
Cameron Mathison has spent most of the past decade playing fan favorite Ryan Lavery on the ABC soap opera “All My Children,” but more recently he has added another credit to his resume: TV host. An increasingly frequent face on red-carpet telecasts and entertainment news shows, Mathison also is the host of TLC’s first foray into the game show genre, “Your Place or Mine?” It premieres Sunday, June 8. “It feels like a good fit for me to host, because the energy of it suits me,” Mathison says of the show, in which families compete to win new home furnishings that are moved right into their homes as the game is in progress. “It feels pretty live,” he adds, “and I think it’s safe to say that a lot of things happen that you won’t be expecting.” These hosting gigs are especially satisfying, Mathison explains, because they let him bring so much of himself to the job. “I’ve always found, frankly, that my best work as an actor is when I can bring more of myself to a role,” he says. “These newer opportu-
nities let me bring my personality and my goofiness and my high energy, so I feel very comfortable with these things, actually.” Despite a childhood disability that kept him in a leg brace between the ages of 4 and 7, Mathison cut a major rug on the fifth season of “Dancing With the Stars,” where he landed in the top five. “I’m not sure how I did it, but I doubt that I’ll ever have another job like that where you feel like all of America is riding along with you,” he says. “I’d walk down the street or get on a plane and people would flash a ‘thumbs up’ to me.” Born: Aug. 25, 1969, in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Family ties: Married to wife Vanessa since 2002; two children, Lucas and Leila. Education: A bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from McGill University in Montreal. Film and TV movie credits: “Any Mother’s Son,” “The Defenders: Choice of Evils,” “54,” “Long Shot,” “Washed Up,” “See Jane Date.” TV guest appearances: Include “F/X: The Series,” “The Job,” “The Drew Carey Show,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “JAG,” “What I Like About You,” “Hope & Faith.” Awards: A Soap Opera Digest Award for outstanding male newcomer; three Daytime Emmy nominations.

By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it : Is Emily Deschanel of ‘‘Bones” related to Zooey Deschanel, who was in the miniseries ‘‘Tin Man”? -Jeff Stern, Wichita, Kan. : They’re sisters. They both came into show business naturally; their father is veteran cinematographer Caleb Deschanel (‘‘The Black Stallion”), and their mother is actress Mary Jo Deschanel (‘‘The Right Stuff”). : Who is the actress who plays HoraEmily Deschanel tio’s sister-in-law on ‘‘CSI: Miami”? -Charles Patzer, North Palm Beach, Fla. : When Horatio Caine’s (David Caruso) fellow police detective Yelina turns up on the CBS show (or in its A&E Network repeats), she’s played by Sofia Milos. In fact, she also was in the ‘‘CSI: NY” pilot episodes that ulitized some of the ‘‘Miami” actors. Milos had a steady role recently on the Canadian law-enforcement series ‘‘The Border,” and she also was featured in ‘‘Desire,” one of the telenovelas shown by MyNetworkTV during that operation’s early stages. : Regarding Jasmine Guy, who I have been seeing on television lately - I know the face and the name, but the ‘‘when” and ‘‘where” escape me. Where do I know her from? -Joanne Wilson, Columbus, Ohio : The actress made her first claim to fame as Whitley on the ‘‘Cosby Show” spinoff ‘‘A Different World” in the late 1980s and early ’90s. She resurfaced televisionwise in a big way in the

role of Roxy on the series ‘‘Dead Like Me” several years ago. More recently, she’s been a host of PBS’ ‘‘America’s Ballroom Challenge.” : We had one of our very favorite HBO movies taped, and somehow, it got taped over. It starred A Martinez, Alexis Cruz and Tantoo Cardinal. I have tried to buy a copy at local video stores, but it is not in their inventory. Has it ever been on VHS or DVD? -Patricia Potts, San Antonio : You’re thinking of the 1996 drama ‘‘Grand Avenue,” and it can’t be found on video because it hasn’t been released in any format. : I have long been a fan of the sitcom ‘‘Caroline in the City.” Didn’t Lauren Graham have a bit part in that series as a character named Shelly? Also, is it available on DVD? -Pete Ward III, Centennial, Colo. : She did, several years before she gained bigger home-screen fame as one of the ‘‘Gilmore Girls.” Graham appeared in multiple episodes of ‘‘Caroline,” on which the aforementioned Sofia Milos was a regular cast member. Paramount Home Entertainment is slated to release the complete first season of the Lea Thompsonstarring show Aug. 12. : I know that ‘‘One Tree Hill” will be back next season, but will it keep up its several-years-in-the-future approach with its characters? -Sue Collins, Harrisburg, Pa. : Absolutely. If anything, the relative strength of the show’s recent ratings confirmed to series creator-producer Mark Schwahn that he made the right move by advancing the CW drama’s premise by four years. Beyond that, cast members Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Galeotti told us they’re enjoying be able to play much closer to their actual ages, rather than passing for high-school students. They said, laughing, that was especially evident to them when they worked with real high-schoolers in a filmed-on-location episode last year.

Power outage drags on for 13 hours By Brenda Pollard Correspondent
The 13-hour power outage in our area on Thursday evening put clocks behind, as well as keeping correspondents from meeting deadline on Friday. Especially me, since I hadn’t even started my news yet and I have a tendency to leave things to the last minute. Lesson learned, I hope, but probably not. Old habits die hard. May 27, Stellar Insurance held their annual community appreciation barbecue. Representatives from SGI in attendance were Jerome Brotzel, Ken and Sherry MacGregor and Susan Wallick of Regina, Judi Griffin and Michelle Geisbrecht of Saskatoon, and Larry Wrench of North Battleford. Everyone enjoyed delicious burgers prepared by “chefs” Bob Cooper, Mike Levasseur and Jim Harty as well as vis-
windshield repair & replacement specialists

Winning door prizes were: Jean Arnott, Charlie Kobes, Art Hamel, Andrea Thom, Charles McCaffrey, Brenda Pollard, Irene Carlson, RoseAnne Corbeil, Annabelle Elliott, Marilyn Russet, Teta Harty, Mia Weber, John Blaquiere and Connie Pollard. May 29, Stellar held a child safety seat clinic. This was well attended, with 12 car seats checked. Winning the draw for a booster seat were Aaron and Lisa Pelchat. Condolences go out to Minard and Georgette Thom and Arnold and Mary Thom and families on the recent passing of Minard and Arnold’s brother, Neil. Donald Neil Thom was born on April 16, 1932 at Edam and passed away May 16 at Edmonton, Alta. He is survived by his wife of over 50 years, Gwen, and sons Len (Barb) and Lyndsey ( Carolyn) and daughter Tracey (Greg) Seibt as well as six grandchildren. Services were held May 23 at Edmonton. Condolences are also extended to Denis and Darcy deMontarnal and family of Edam, Charles and Suzanne deMontarnal and family of Turtleford, as well as Claude, Roger (Louise), Marc (Cindy), Judy (Mike) Asmussen and Claudette (Morris) Bidart and their
families on the recent passing of father, grandfather and great-grandfather Hughes deMontarnal. Condolences also go to Hughie’s cousin Huguette MacGregor and her family. Condolences go out to Betty Kujawa of Edam as well as her brothers and sisters, Fran, Neville, Rita, Dorothy, Ted, Dale of Meota, Darlene of Meota, Wanda, and Byron and their families on the recent passing of mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Reta. Winners of the May draw for the trip of the month were Bill and Elaine L’Heureux with Kevin and Angela Blanchette winning $100. On Wednesday, June 11, from 11:30 to 1:30 there will be a hamburger sale at the library. For $4 you can purchase a burger, sweet and a drink.

Congratulations to Cliff and Janice Jamieson on the birth of their first grandchild on May 24. Denis and Bethany Cadrain of Glaslyn welcomed their son, Aiden Brady. Also welcoming Aiden are grandparents Leo and Claire Cadrain of Glaslyn, and great-grandparents Doug Stuart of Edam, Ethel Jamieson of Battleford and Madeleine Phaneuf of
North Battleford. John and I also welcomed another grandson May 29. Tina and Vern Amyotte welcomed their first child, Ethan Arthur. Also welcoming Ethan are grandparents Vern and Louise Amyotte of North Battleford and Tish Boychuk and Dennis Wales of Sundre, Alta., and great-grandparents Bill and Noreen Williamson of Mervin and Johnny and Jeanne Pollard of Edam. On June 18, the Grade 2 and 3 class will be having their field trip in the form of a scavenger hunt. Each student, accompanied by a parent or guardian, will be out for a town-wide scavenger hunt. Each team will receive a paperclip on their departure
from the school and they may knock on your door to make a trade. They have the choice to trade or to decline what you offer. Be aware that no child will be at your door unaccompanied. They will proceed from house to house until 11 a.m. when they will return to the school for a final trade round. This is in an effort to help the students with bargaining and be a practice in decision making. Please help these young people with their field day. I think that is it for this week. We have the final accelerated reading point getters to be listed next week and the results of the NJR Memorial Golf Tournament. Take care and happy gardening.

“Penn West’s contribution to the Kindersley Health Centre has taken patient care and equipment technology in the diagnostics area to the next level.” Brenda Neumeier, Combined Laboratory and X-ray Technician, Kindersley Health Centre
In Saskatchewan, the oil and gas industry is making a difference in the community. Take Penn West Energy Trust for example. Penn West responded to the need of having well-equipped medical facilities in the Kindersley community by donating $250,000.00 over five years to the Kindersley & District Health & Wellness Foundation. The first installment received in 2006, was immediately used to purchase new digital X-ray equipment and renovate two X-ray rooms. “This donation has helped us acquire state-of-the-art imaging equipment.

This gives us an opportunity to provide more immediate care by sending digital X-ray files to be read, which speeds up diagnosis and treatment,” said Dr. Andreas Mostert, a Heartland Health Region physician who practices in Kindersley. Throughout Canada, the oil and gas industry invests in things like community facilities, events and post-secondary education. The industry is proud of these initiatives and will continue to be an important part of the communities in which we operate.
