journey
makes its
way through
Spiritwood
Spiritwood hosted some special visitors on July 13 when
the traditional lance run made its way through town and
the runners chose to rest their weary legs for the night. The
lance run is an important part of the First Nation Summer
Games that are being held in Prince Albert from July 15-19.
The lance, much like the Olympic torch, is carried ceremoniously before the games by a procession of individuals.
Each time the games are held, the lance is taken from the
previous host location to the most recent site of the games,
and it is always carried by the youths.
“We’re tired, we’re sore, but we’re still running,” one
lance bearer commented. “There’s a lot of energy from all
of us, so it’s good.”
Their first day of travel posed some obstacles, but the
group made it all the way from Thunderchild to Spiritwood
before setting up for the night. “We had people starting
to cramp up, and of course our schedule of runners was
thrown out,” Elder Henry Felix said. “At the same time,
when we got to Spiritwood the hospitality was very great.”
After their stay in Spiritwood, the journey continued on
to Shellbrook, where they again stopped for the night. Felix commented that the trip from Spiritwood to Shellbrook
was “very, very good”.
“When you look on the map, we came all the way from
Thunderchild and we’re going to Muskoday,” commented
Michelle Vandervord, one of the group coordinators. “It
seems like half-way across the province.” She added that
in their first day of travel, they covered about 107 kilometres.
“And of course the RCMP were tremendous,” Felix added. “They followed us right from Thunderchild to here.
They escorted us all the way.”
While the runners had been at it for two full days before bunking in Shellbrook’s Kinsmen Park for the night
on July 14, everyone was convinced that the final day of
running would be no match for their spirit. “They have lots
of gas left,” Felix said. “They are getting excited because we
are hitting our destination tomorrow. We made very good
time today, because everyone was in high spirits.”
Child dies in house fire on the Pelican Lake First Nation
At approximately 11:05 a.m. on Friday, July 12, the Spiritwood Detachment of the RCMP were called to a house fire on
the Pelican Lake First Nation.
When the RCMP arrived on scene, the Chitek Lake Fire
Suppression Team was already battling the flames. They
were ultimately able to get the fire under control and put it
out.
Four people escaped the blaze with minor injuries. An
adult male, an adult female, and two small children were
transported to the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert by Spiritwood Ambulance.
Upon further investigation, the body of another small child
was located deceased inside the remnants of the burned
house.
Spiritwood RCMP Const. Donovan Kajner told the Star
Phoenix on Saturday the rubble was combed over by the
RCMP and provincial fire investigators the morning after
the fire.
At the time, the cause of the fire was yet to be determined,
but the fire was not considered to be suspicious or a criminal
matter. “Any time there is an incident involving a child, it’s
tragic,” Kajnew said in an interview with the Star Phoenix
on July 13.
On Tuesday, July 16, the Spiritwood RCMP announced the
fire was caused by an unattended candle. There is no foul
play suspected, and names of the survivors and the deceased
will not be released.

Honeywood Nursery $125,000 cash lotto
Parkside, Saskatchewan, July , 2013 – Honeywood (Dr. A.
J. Porter) Heritage Nursery is pleased to announce its first
annual cash lotto.
“The board of directors is excited to host a lotto offering
$125,000 in cash prizes,” commented Chairperson David
Moe.
On offer is $10,000 for the August 10 early bird draw.
Tickets must be purchased by midnight August 8 to be eligible for the early bird draw. The grand prize and subsidiary
draws will be made on September 14 following a three day
radio-thon with CJWW. Grand prize draw of $100,000 will
be made at 1:00 p.m. as well as 10-$1,000 and 10-$500 cash
draws.
“Only 2,500 tickets will be sold with ticket prices at $100
each,” commented Honeywood Nursery manager Judy Harley, further explaining that tickets can be purchased at Honeywood Nursery, Parkside General Store, the directors and
by calling the toll free telephone number 1-855-947-3425.
The organization will have two live radio broadcast sessions
from the Parkside Heritage Centre in Parkside.
One session will be on August 7 and 8 prior to the early
bird draw and again September 10 through 12. “The general public is welcome to stop by the centre during the live
broadcasts to meet one of the CJWW radio announcers, enjoy some refreshments and purchase a ticket,” added Harley.
Honeywood celebrates the rich horticultural heritage of the area and is a testament to the commitment,
love and dedication that Dr Porter displayed with the
cultivation and hybridization of lilies for which he was
known worldwide and a quest to develop hardy fruit
varieties for the Canadian prairies.
The funds raised through this lottery will assist with the
major upgrades and renovations of the heritage site as well
as provide opportunity to maintain the aging equipment.
Some of the major projects include the installation of windows and the refurbishing of the original Porter cabin. Yard

and garden maintenance is essential to ensure the grounds
are kept in superior condition for public viewing.
“It all comes down to preserving the living legacy of Bert
Porter,” says Vivian Nemish, Promotional Coordinator for
Honeywood Heritage Nursery. “This site is an integral part
of the history of horticulture in Saskatchewan. It is one of
the few original nurseries that remain in Saskatchewan and
should serve as a reminder to our generation and future gen-
erations that the fruit we enjoy in our yards and gardens did
not just happen but rather developed from years of testing
and research.”
Designated as a municipal heritage site in 2001 and provincial heritage site in 2007, Honeywood Heritage Nursery
is not only considered a destination of preference for weddings but also as an educational tool for horticulturalists,
gardeners, landscapers and students of all ages.

Spiritwood Knights of Columbus held
their annual NHL Playoff Hockey Pool
Once again, the Spiritwood Knights of Columbus held
their annual NHL Playoff Hockey Pool, which resulted in a 3
way tie. We had a total of 88 entries, for a $220 prize.
This year’s three winners, each sharing a piece of the
$220, were Jason Gaboury, Trevor Vey and Steve Brochu.
Jason, the sole local winner is the only one pictured.
Trevor Vey is from Sherwood Park, AB, and Steve Brochu
is from Colonsay, SK. All three winners were surprised and
excited they were the lucky (and I do mean lucky) winners.
They were all able to amass a total of 80 points out of a possible 100, by correctly guessing each wining NHL team out
of each playoff round.

astically held, with many people buying multiple entries in
an effort to improve their chances.
However, as we all know, come playoff time, anything can
happen, which is what many people found out. Some of the
entrants had done very well in the 1st and 2nd rounds, but
were left behind by the eventual winners, who were able to
correctly guess the final round and the actual Stanley Cup
Champion.
Others correctly guessed the Champion as well, but had
done poorly in the previous rounds, all of which adds to the
excitement and sometimes the disappointment, of watching
the NHL playoffs. Congratulations to this year’s winners,
and we look forward to doing it again next year.

Weight restrictions
put into effect on
wet patch of Highway 3
Motorists in the area are still dealing with a pesky
area of Highway 3 about 7.6 kilometres west of Shellbrook that continues to remain submersed in water.
Kirsten Leatherdale, a spokesperson for the Ministry
of Highways and Infrastructure, says that steps have
been taken to try and appease the situation.
“The water is receding,” she said. “The RM of Canwood and the Water Security Agency have opened up
a drainage channel in the area and it’s helping to improve the situation on the highway.”
Despite the tough conditions, Leatherdale says that
the area is still passable. “We’ve been able to accommodate traffic through the flooded area through the
entire incident because the water was not deep enough
to cause us to close the highway. The area is well
signed and there are traffic lights at both ends. We do
feel that it’s safe enough for people to drive through.”
Having said that, the constant traffic has caused the
road to deteriorate, and it is difficult to see the rough
spots under all the water. “There is some damage to
the highway, we have large potholes that have formed.
As soon as the water recedes enough, our maintenance
crews will repair them,” Leatherdale said.
All of this has caused the Ministry of Highways and
Infrastructure to place a weight restriction on the
stretch of Highway 3 between the junctions of Highway 40 and Highway 12.
The restriction, which was put into place on July
5, states: “The maximum axle group weight and the
gross vehicle weight not to exceed secondary weights.”
The restriction does not apply to emergency vehicles,
Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure vehicles and
municipal maintenance equipment when conducting
maintenance or accessing sites on or along the restricted highway, SaskPower, SaskEnergy and SaskTel vehicles when accessing sites along the restricted
route, recreational vehicles, buses, or farm equipment
operated or towed.
The order stands until September 1, 2013, unless
otherwise stated.

Shoe shopping
Not long ago, I went shopping for shoes.
Let me rephrase that. I bought shoes. I wasn’t actually
shopping for anything, having come to the point at which I
could take a look at my wardrobe and proclaim that I didn’t
need anything, especially not shoes.
But we happened to walk by a shoe store…
How come we’re always walking by a shoe store?
Anyway, I’ve happened to walk by a shoe store often
enough that I now have a collection rivalling Imelda Marcos and, and, other people who shall remain nameless.
It starts like this:
“Those shoes are getting ratty
looking. Why are you still wearing
them?”
The correct answer, of course, is
“You’re absolutely right. Let’s go
into this nice shoe store and replace
them.”
But I’m never able to come up
with the right answer until it’s too
late.
“They’re comfortable..”
“They’re a mess. Don’t you have
DAVE
any Rockports?”
“These are Rockports.”
HYNDMAN
“Well how did they get like that?
~
Those are a $200 pair of shoes, you
News Editor
know.”
Well, what could I say. How do
you tell the woman you love that you live in those shoes,
and besides, they are SHOES. What’s the big deal?
How do you tell women that men don’t have the same fascination with shoes as they do. Men’s shoes come in two
colors – black and brown. They either have laces or they
don’t.
Am I missing anything?
Women have a whole different set of criteria when it
comes to buying shoes.
For starters, they must be cute.
Second,…
There is no second. Oh, three are other factors, like, can
I walk in these shoes? Do they fit? Can I afford them? But I
don’t think women pay attention to any of those.
Have you ever been somewhere and she says “I have to
get out of these shoes. My feet are killing me.”
“Why are you wearing them if they hurt your feet so
much?”
“I like them. They’re cute.”
See?
I now have three pairs of Rockports. The black ones are
in the truck in case I go to a school that requires inside
shoes, which, incidentally, is all of them. The new ones are,
I think, in my closet next to the brown pair I got at Costco
for $35 and the three pair of dress shoes.
Three pair? Well, we were walking by a shoe store one
day…
And the third pair can usually be found on my feet any
time I leave the house.
“Are you going to mow the lawn wearing those shoes?
I search for the correct answer, but all come up with is “I
guess so.”
“We have to get you some new shoes.”
I drastically increased the size of my shoe inventory
sometime ago when we were doing a fair amount of travelling. I was told it just made sense to have slip-on shoes
when going through airport security, and going through
with lace-ups made me see the light.
But you know what really bothers me these days is that
for all the fuss we make about our footwear, many people,
women especially, wear nothing more than flip flops. They
must be cute, although I don’t really have a good barometer
for judging what is and what is not cute.
Flip flops. A chunk of rubber in roughly the same shape
as a foot, held on by a strap that goes up between the toes
and branches off one piece to each side, recognizable by the
“flap-flap-flap” sound it makes as the back of the shoe hits
the heel.
How can people who think flip flops are great be critical
of what I wear. I’d say more, but I see we’re about to go by
another shoe store…

parents are taking out personal lines of credit and delaying their retirement plans to help their adult children.
Instead of listening to Canadians on this issue, the
Harper Conservatives have cut the number of youth
jobs in the Canada Summer Jobs Program by more than
half, and frozen the skills training budget at 2008 (prerecession) levels without allowing for either inflation or

gest this incident was caused by anything Prime Minister
Stephen Harper’s government did or didn’t do is a little disgusting. In fact, early suspicions suggest tampering caused
the Lac-Megantic disaster.
Nor is especially helpful to decry the dangers of rail transportation in moving hazardous petroleum products. It is
simply a reality that we must do this.
Research shows that rail is safer than tanker truck and
pipeline is safer than rail. But given the opposition to the
Keystone XL and Northern Gateway pipelines _ much of it,
based on the pipeline companies’ records of spills _ there is
little public desire to convert to moving oil by pipeline that
can only move petroleum in one direction.
Our communities _ whether they are large cities or small
towns _ cannot afford to rip out their tracks and move them.
It would simply be too cost and, for many communities, it
would be like ripping the veins out of your body.
That said, the last and arguably most important lesson
is that we do start examining all facets of rail movement of
dangerous goods to ensure another Lac-Megantic is not repeated in someone else’s hometown.
There are legitimate issues of railroad protocol, including
having a single conductor on these trains. Questions on the
durability of these cars are also in play.
We need our railroads, but we must insure that what is
moved on them is moved safely.

Weak jobs market for youth
is hurting parents, too
Today’s weak labour market for youth is not only
hurting young Canadians. It’s also taking a financial toll
on their middle class parents.
There are still 200,000 fewer jobs for young Canadians than before the recession. According to TD Bank,
young Canadians are not only losing out today, they also
face lower wages for more than a decade as they try to
catch up on missed work experience. A growing number
of twenty-somethings are now competing for unpaid internships in an attempt to get ahead.
While job prospects for young Canadians have deteriorated, the price of everything from tuition to rent
and groceries has gone up. Yet student debt levels have
remained relatively constant. So who is picking up the
tab?
It’s middle class parents – and in some cases, grandparents – who are stepping in to financially support
their adult children.
According to TD, more than half of baby boom parents have continued to financially support their adult

Rob Clarke report
While the flooding in Calgary has garnered most of the headlines, we have had
numerous instances of flood damage right
here in Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill
River, most notably the devastating flood
damage in and around Cumberland House
which necessitated evacuation.
I was in Cumberland House recently to
assess the damage and to witness the fine
work that residents there are doing to restore their community and to prevent future occurrences of flooding in the area.
Of interest to employers in flood-affected
areas is the Work-Sharing Program, administered by Service Canada, which is
designed to help employers and employees
avoid layoffs when there is a temporary reduction in the normal level of business activity that is beyond the control of the employer. The program provides Employment
Insurance benefits to those who are unable
to work due to unusual circumstances.
In addition, the Canada Small Business
Financing Program can provide loans to
small businesses which are unable to meet
their financial obligations due to disasters.
Information on these programs is available
at http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/
Our federal government’s response is
governed by the Emergency Management
Framework for Canada, the second version
of which was adopted in 2007.
In the event of a large-scale natural disaster, the Government of Canada provides
financial assistance to provincial and ter-
ritorial governments
through the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements
(DFAA),
administered by Public Safety Canada. When response and recovery

a fair and equitable

provincial and territorial governments.
Through the DFAA, assistance is paid to
the province or territory – not directly to
affected individuals, small businesses or
communities. A request for reimbursement
under the DFAA is processed immediately following receipt of the required
documentation of provincial/territorial expenditures and a review by federal auditors.
The Government of Canada may provide advance and interim payments to
provincial and territorial governments
as funds are expended under the provincial/territorial disaster assistance
program. All provincial or territorial
requests for DFAA cost sharing are subject
to federal audit to ensure that cost sharing
is provided according to the DFAA guidelines. Each request for cost sharing under
the DFAA is processed immediately once
the affected province or territory provides
the required documentation of expenditures.
Therefore, those in affected areas should
first concentrate their efforts on application to the Saskatchewan government’s
Provincial Disaster Assistance Program.
Information about the PDAP is available at
http://www.gr.gov.sk.ca/PDAP This website details the process of application for
relief by private claimants, First Nations
residents, municipal claimants and First
Nations Bands.
I stand in support of those affected by
flooding here in the riding and I look forward to assisting flood victims in the restoration of their communities.

“It aims to focus on using flies and beetles”, and Levon
says a great advantage is that they can eat just about anything, such as human food leftovers.
“Once crushed, co-products such as shells can be used in
the pharmaceutical sector, for cosmetics and wastewater

I personally can recall missionaries stopping at the Yorkton This Week office once, and during the interview offering up barbecue flavoured grasshoppers, something they
said in many countries is a low cost, readily available, protein source for people.
Taste wise they tasted like the flavouring, with a definite
crunch. I wouldn’t say they’d replace potato chips anytime
soon here, but they are protein rich.
Given that many bugs would be easily raised feeding off
what we already deem as waste, converting that waste via
the bugs to protein for livestock is actually a rather forward
thinking idea.
It could not only lower feed costs, where the protein
source is the lion’s share of feed costs, but it could also be
a way of biologically dealing with growing mounds of some
waste materials. That sounds like a win-win situation that
could meet a definite future need for society and agriculture.
Barley Development Commission
welcomes new investment in barley research
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – The Saskatchewan Barley
Development Commission (SBDC) welcomes the announcement made on June 9, 2013 by Agriculture Minister Gerry
Ritz of funding for a new barley research cluster. The investment will enhance the competitiveness of barley farmers and the entire sector through increasing focus on barley
research by industry experts, government scientists and
universities. The cluster is being funded by primarily by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and will be administered by
the Alberta Barley Commission (ABC).
“The barley industry is an important economic driver in
Saskatchewan and Canada,” said William Cooper, Chair of
the SBDC Interim Board. “We are pleased that the Federal
government has recognized through this support the important role that barley plays in Canadian agriculture.”
The funding will be directed towards cost-effective and
environmentally-sound crop production practices to help
ensure lower input costs to maximize the profits of barley
producers. The cluster will place important focus upon
breeding new barley varieties which will help producers increase their yields and offer value-added barley to a variety
of markets. The cluster was developed with the input of key
industry stakeholders and joint funding is being provided
by barley farmers through their investments in ABC and
Western Grains Research Foundation, and by members of
the malting industry.
The SBDC was instituted in June 2013 with the focus to
provide Saskatchewan producers the ability to direct checkoff dollars into research, market development and promotion initiatives. This cluster funding includes research activities led by the University of Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan grown barley is recognized globally for its
high quality and superior characteristics, representing two
million acres in the province on average.
Barley is unique as one of only nine ingredients approved
by Health Canada for a health claim related to its cholesterol-lowering potential. This claim includes wording that can
be used on food labels to encourage consumers to choose
barley containing foods for heart health. Cluster activities
will include barley ingredient development to assist food
manufacturers to use more barley in their products. In addition, research funding will be directed towards developing
new barley varieties that contain more health components.
“Barley farmers will embrace the opportunity to grow
more food-grade barley for value-added markets,” states
Todd Lewis, Interim Board Member. “This commitment by
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to further research and
development will present new opportunities for both producers and processors of barley.”
When fully established, the SBDC will utilize its funding
to compliment and accelerate the initiatives under the barley
research cluster including in the areas of barley breeding,
pathology and agronomy to develop new varieties and integrated crop management strategies as well as development
of new value-added applications for barley for the malt, food
and feed industries.
Crop report for July 2 to 8
Warm weather has helped to advance both crop development and haying. Saskatchewan livestock producers have
17 per cent of the 2013 hay crop cut and eight per cent baled
or put into silage, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s
weekly Crop Report. Ninety per cent of the provincial hay
crop is rated as good to excellent in quality.
The majority of fall cereals are in the heading to dough
stages of crop development while most spring cereals are in
the jointed to heading stages.
The majority of pulse crops are in the vegetative to flowering stages and flax crops are mostly in the seedling to flowering crop stages.
Most canola and mustard crops are in the rosette to flowering stages of development.
Most parts of the province received large amounts of rain
last week which has damaged some crops. Hail, wind and
insects such as cabbage seedpod weevil have also caused
damage in some areas. There have been reports of disease
damage, specifically cereal leaf diseases and root rot.
Across the province, topsoil moisture on crop land is rated
as 20 per cent surplus, 78 per cent adequate and two per
cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated
as 12 per cent surplus, 85 per cent adequate and three per
cent short.
Livestock water availability is adequate and pasture conditions are rated as 32 per cent excellent, 62 per cent good
and six per cent fair.
Farmers are busy haying and controlling pests.

(LH Group) Spiritwood Light Horse 4-H Club Achievement Day. L. to r.: Amy Lafond and “Patchy”, Michelle Cote and “George”, Jessica Buban and “Massey”,
Robin Lafond (Leader).
Light Horse Achievement Day
Spiritwood 4H Light Horse Achievement
day was held July 7th, 2013. We had a fun
day to wrap up our year of “Learn to do by
Doing”. This year’s achievement day winners are as follows:
1st Place Winner of Showmanship Pattern
was Jessica Buban
2nd Place Winner was Michelle Cote
3rd Place Winner was Amy Lafond
1st place winner of the Western Trail Class
was Michelle Cote
2nd place tied winners were Jessica Buban
And Amy Lafond
The winner and recipient of a plaque sponsored by the Spiritwood Vet Services for the
record book competition went to Amy Lafond.
To end the day they had a few games,
including the egg and spoon race (won by
Jessica Buban) and the dollar bill race (won
by Michelle Cote). They also practiced barrel patterns in a fun way by placing targets
on the barrels and shooting at them with
water guns.
This was not a timed event and the kids
had a lot of fun practicing their aim, as well
as their horsemanship skills
The Light Horse club consisted of three
young ladies in the group this year: Amy Lafond age 11, Michelle Cote age 12, and Jessica Buban age 15. Each of these young ladies
showed budding promise in horsemanship
both from on the ground and in the saddle.
The Leader was Robin Lafond of Shell Lake.
They received a great deal of support to
run the club this year, particularly from the
financial contributions of sponsors such as

“For many years, I have thought about
this day.” These words, spoken by Brenda
Cheveldayoff, were part of an emotional
ceremony on July 5 at the site of the Doukhobor Dugout House.
Many gathered to hear Brenda and others
speak about the significance of the site, and
to watch the unveiling of a plaque meant to
recognize the location as a National Historic Site of Canada.
The ceremony began with an opening
prayer delivered in Russian by Mr. J.J.
Verigin, Executive Director of the Union of
Spiritual Communities of Christ. Camellea
Konkin then sang the prayer, and also led
the congregation in a singing of O Canada.
Mr. Allan Duddridge of the Historic Sites
and Monuments Board of Canada served as
the Master of Ceremonies for the event. “It
is my pleasure to preside over this ceremony here in such a picturesque setting by the
North Saskatchewan River,” he said.
“I can sort of imagine the settlers waking to such a beautiful vista every morning,
and just thanking themselves for making
the trek to this part of the world.”
“The Doukhobor Dugout House is valued
not just for its physical remains, but for
the spiritual and emotional connections
associated with the earliest history of the
Doukhobors in Canada. It represents the
tremendous hardships faced by these early
settlers, and the practical ways in which
they met and overcame them.”

grant groups who also played a crucial role
in opening up the Canadian Prairie.
“It reaches across time to make connections with new generations of Canadians
trying to understand their past. Indeed, a
powerful legacy.”
Brenda Cheveldayoff, founder of the site,
took the podium next to deliver a heartfelt
address. “Personally, for me, the Doukhobor Dugout House was a huge undertaking,” she said.
“The loss and grief of my father’s passing in 2001 struck a chord for all of us to
enjoy this historical place. As most of you
are aware, this was my father’s dream . . . (I
found) the perseverance to accomplish his
dream, as he no longer could. His interest
in the dugout house has brought me closer
to my Doukhobor heritage.”
The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff, Minister of Environment for the Government
of Saskatchewan, spoke next. “I have a real
attachment to this place, because I caught
my first fish not too far from here,” he said.
“It really does feel like home here, because
it is.”
“Today, the plaque commemorating the
Doukhobor Dugout House as a National
Historic Site will be unveiled. To those
who love, support, and work to preserve
this site, congratulations to you all.
“I hope you take a moment to realize
what you have done here, and the significance that it has for our province and for
our beautiful country.”
“The Doukhobors are an essential part

They represent the diversity of people that
came to Canada at the turn of the last century. As you can see by our historic population growth in Saskatchewan, many people

“These sites are so important. They are a
physical link to our past, they are pieces of
history which we can see and touch, pieces
of history that we can indeed learn from.”
Next on the docket was Mr. Larry Ewashen. Mr. Ewashen is considered an expert
on the history of the Doukhobors, and took
the opportunity to provide some background information on the history of the A pile of wood representing the nonviolent, peaceful life that the Douksite and its people.

we need to be. If we’re not, she’s going to leave us all in the
dust.”
That cloud of dust is definitely forming.
• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “The Panthers made Finnish centre Aleksander Barkov the No. 2 overall pick in the amateur hockey draft. He is 17 but said to be ready for the NHL.
At 17, I wasn’t even ready to decide between a Whopper and
a Big Mac.”

Parkland Steelers Pee Wee Boys team bring gold
The Parkland Steelers Pee Wee Boys Fastball team brought
home the gold medal at the Provincial tournament last weekend after a commanding performance throughout. In their
first game on the morning of Saturday, July 6, the Steelers
defeated Saskatoon Eagles 21-0, instituting the mercy rule
after just three innings of play. In their second game they
faced Ochapowace, and again used the mercy rule to defeat
them 15-0 in three innings. Their next game was against
Whitewood, a game which they won 16-1. In the finals they
again faced Whitewood, and came away with a 14-2 win to
make them the Provincial champions. The coaches were
very proud of their team’s performance, stating that everybody contributed to their success. It was a true team effort
that led to a big win for the boys.

OBITUARY
~
Dezso “Dez” Szabo
SZABO, Dezso “Dez”
1923 – 2013
Dezso was born in Borsod Megye Harsany Hungary on
September 6th 1923 to Bert and Ester( Lukacs) Szabo. Immigrating to Canada in 1932 at the age of 9.
The Szabo family moved
to the Moline District where
Dezso went to school and
helped his dad and brother
work the land and cut wood.
When Dezso got older he
went to work for other farmers in the area. Long hours
were spent in the fields
stooking and helping on the
threshing crews to earn extra
money to help the family.
The school was the hub of
social life in the thirties and
Dezso would talk about the
dances that he walked miles
to get to. He would play the
button accordion at many of
these dances.
It was at one of these social
events, he met Margaret Bedi. Dezso and Margaret married
in 1944. They took up farming south west of Spiritwood.
Much of the farming was done with horses in the early
years. There were cows to milk and chickens to feed and a
large garden to tend too.
In 1947 their daughter Magdoline (Mag) was born and sixteen months later, in 1948, he was blessed with his only son,
Leslie (Les). Esther was born in 1960.
Life was tough and they worked hard, but there was always
time to get together with friends to play cards and dances at
Resolute School.
In 1971, Dezso, Margaret and Esther moved into the town
of Spiritwood. Dezso worked at carpentry and then at Phil’s
Shell Service for Phil Dufour. Even in town there was always
a big garden that Dezso and Margaret enjoyed working.
He loved fishing, after retiring spent many hours on the
lakes in the area. When Margaret became ill, Dezso became
her caregiver. He had to learn how to cook (becaming a very
good cook), and do most of the household chores.
After Margaret’s passing, Dezso lived with Esther and
Dave for four years before moving into a seniors unit where
he resided until his passing. He became Esther’s side kick
attending as many of the boys hockey and ball games as possible.
He passed away peacefully, with family by his side on June
26th, 2013 in the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert, Sask.
He will be remembered for his love for his family, cooking,
sharp wit and fierce independence.
Dezso leaves to cherish his memories:
His children: ~ Magdoline (Jim) Szabo & their children:
Donna (Alvin) Priestley—Gavin, Seanna, Landyn; April
(Randy) Volk—Tanner, Tyler, ~ Leslie (Shirley) Szabo & their
children: Carrie (Darcy) Honoroski—Micheal, Trevin, Ryan;
Vince Szabo & his daughter, Samantha; Derreck Szabo & his
son, Declan; Darla (Duane) Fraser—Tyson, Trey, Carly, ~ Esther (Dave) Hujber & their children: Jeff (Shantal) Hujber—
Brady, Reese; Trevin Hujber (Lacy Shultz); Melissa Hujber.
Dezso is predeceased by: His loving wife, Margaret; his
parents, Bert and Ester Szabo; his parents-in-law, Mike and
Maria Bedi; his brother, Leslie Szabo and sister, Helen Walter; his brothers-in-law, Joe Poth, Joe Zimmer and Jim Walter and an infant grandson, Darwin Szabo
Funeral Service was held for Dezso on Tuesday, July 2nd,
2013 from the Civic Center in Spiritwood, SK.
Interment took place following the service in the Spiritwood Cemetery.
Memorial Donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
Email condolences to www.beaulacfuneralhome.com will
be forwarded to the family.

Doukhobor Dugout House
Continued from Page 9
He went on to tell the tale of their exodus from Russia
and their settlement in Canada, of their survival through
the harsh winters and their gradual rise in the new land.
“The men moved out when work was available, building
roads and railroad beds to raise capital for seeds and implements. The women, no shirkers, hitched themselves to
plows and broke the sod to plant the necessary gardens.”
Saskatoon-Wanuskewin Member of Parliament Maurice
Vellacott took the floor next to offer greetings from the federal government. “As Canadians we are fortunate to share
a rich and diverse heritage,” he said. “The many people,
places and events that help shape our national identity can
be found all across this great nation. They recall some of
the moments of greatness and of triumph. They also recall
the difficult moments of struggle, but they inspire us. They
are moments of awe. They are a reflection of our national
diversity, while at the same time unifying us through a
shared legacy together. And for its ability to do just that,
the Doukhobor Dugout House joins the exclusive group of
sites to be honoured with official recognition as a National
Historic Site of Canada.”
“The story of the Doukhobors is truly an inspirational
one, of struggle, of fortitude, of determination and faith.
And if the remaining walls out there could talk, imagine
the stories that they would tell.”
Following all of the speeches, the unveiling of the plaque
took place, and a reading of the plaque text was held. The
crowd was then treated to a performance by the Doukhobor Singers, who sung some traditional songs. After the
closing remarks and a prayer, many stuck around to enjoy
some refreshments and to chat about the day’s events.
On Saturday, July 6, the site opened up for the season and
resumed with tours of the National Historic Site. Brenda
Cheveldayoff herself, dressed in traditional garb, led the
tours and offered historical facts along the way. “In 1899,
when the Doukhobors came to Canada, they came here
because they were persecuted for what they believed,” she
began. “’Though shalt not kill. The welfare of the world is
not worth the life of one child.’ They put down their arms
and they were actually kicked out of Russia.”
Rather than focus on the history of Doukhobors as a
whole, the tour chooses to focus on the history of the 300
or so people who relocated to the specific spot of land where
the dugout house remains. “I was told by elders that the
reason that they picked this place is because this reminds
them of home,” she said. “Scholars tell me that the reason
that they built here is because of water. There is a spring
here . . . and water is survival.”
Cheveldayoff went on to describe the lives of the first settlers, who lived in the ground for five years while they built
a more permanent village a quarter of a mile across the
road. For many, the story did not have a happy ending.
She explained that the beginning of the end for the Doukhobors near Blaine Lake occurred when Frank Oliver took
over as the Minister of Interior.
“Frank Oliver did not like the Doukhobors, he wanted
them out of here. . . There were 278,000 acres that were
already broken that were taken away from the Doukhobors. And then some of them took allegiance to the flag
and stayed and independently bought their homesteads,
and the others moved on to BC.”
The extremely interesting tour takes its participants
all over the grounds, including stops at the still-running
stream that provided the Doukhobors with water, remains of some of the actual dugout houses, and even the
old prayer house. The tour also involves an actual demonstration, carried out by willing volunteers, of the way the
Doukhobors broke the land with their primitive plows.
All told, it was a monumental weekend at the Doukhobor Dugout House. A number of visitors made their way to
the site, many leaving with a better understanding of an
important period in our nation’s history, not to mention a
delicious slice of traditional Doukhobor bread.
