Shellbrook Rangers bring home silver

The Shellbrook Rangers proudly returned home with a
silver medal from the Western Canadian Bantam Championship. The tournament took place in Duncan, B.C, from
Aug. 7 to 10. Manitoba’s Pimicikamak Thunder took the gold
medal, and B.C. based Richmond took bronze.
Ranger’s coach Duane Storey asked players if at the start of
the season they had any idea they would end up being Provincial Champions and Western Canadian silver medalists.
The boys humbly said, “no.” The final game of the tournament was, in fact, a close win for Manitoba’s representative.
“It was a tough one for the boys to swallow being six outs
from being Western Canadian Champions and not closing
the door,” said the coach.
The confidence that led to a close win on Sunday was
slowly built throughout the tournament. In fact, the Rangers
faced a rough start in the competition, losing the first game
7-0 against the Pimicikamak Thunder.
“They had the best pitcher in the tourney,” said Storey.
“We struggled against him.”
During the first day of the tournament, the team was feeling “a little overwhelmed and over excited.” The Rangers
pulled it together during the second game, this time against
Richmond. But their efforts still weren’t enough, giving up
a two run lead in the bottom of six and going down by two.
“We made a few errors, and I think we were still a little
nervous,” said the coach.
The Shellbrook team tied it up in the top of seven but then
Richmond scored one in the bottom, making the Rangers
drop to 0-2. That was the wake-up call the Rangers desperately needed. The next day, they were a “totally different
team” battling against the host Sooke Storm.
“Our pitching was fantastic, and the bats were on fire,” said
Storey. “We mercied them in five innings, winning 15-2.”
The Rangers carried their newfound self-belief to their
next game against the Prince George Timberwolves, winning
13-3. Round robin finished with Pimicikamak Thunder in
first at 4-0, Sooke Storm in fifth at 0-4, and the Rangers, as
well as the two other teams, tied at 2-2. Shellbrook finished
second using runs for and against ratio, so they ended up
playing Pimicikamak in the 1-2 game of the page playoff format championship round on Saturday.
“This time we played 80 per cent better against them,” said
Storey.
The game was tied 0-0 after three innings, but the Pimicikamak Thunder moved ahead scoring three in the forth inning, one in the fifth and three in the sixth, ending with a
7-0 win.
“It was a very tight well-played game, but we couldn’t get
any offence going,” said Storey.
After the team’s loss, the Rangers were left to face Richmond again on the last day of the tournament. As the Rangers were up by one, heading into the fifth inning, they scored
three in the bottom of five and another three in six, walking
away with an 11-4 victory and earning another shot at defeating Pimicikamak in the gold medal game.
The final game started “a little rough” as the Manitoba
representative hit a three run homer to lead 3-0 after the
first inning. The Rangers scored two and held them for a
3-2 deficit after the second inning. But the Rangers took the
lead after the third inning scoring 4-3.
“This was the first time Pimicikamak was trailing the
whole tourney,” said Storey. “We loaded the bases in the
fourth (inning) with none out and threatened to blow the
game wide open and came away with none (no runs) following an infield pop up, strike out and ground out.”
According to Storey, the Rangers kept giving Pimicikamak
a hard time until the bottom of the sixth, when the umpire
made “two questionable calls” allowing them to get their
lead off man on. They scored two singles and tied up the
game.
The Rangers then made three consecutive throwing errors, followed by a base hit and a home run. Pimicikamak
ended up with seven runs in the bottom of six, leading by
10-4. The Rangers had one last chance to pull the game out.
The seventh inning started well for the Rangers with a
homer, a single and another home run. But it wasn’t enough.
The Pimicikamak Thunder won 10-7, taking home the title
of Western Canadian Bantam Champions.
Regardless, coach Storey said he was proud of how the
boys played and thought they came a long way since April
when they were “tossing the ball around in the gym.”
“We played 13 out of 14 innings flawlessly Sunday,” said
Storey. “We had a spectacular season and memories that
will last a lifetime.”

Province reports second hantavirus death
A second death linked to
hantavirus was confirmed to
have occurred in Northern
Saskatchewan this year.
Health officials said the victim was an adult, but further
information about the person
was not released due to “privacy concerns” in cases where
death is caused by a rare disease. There have been four
hantavirus cases reported this
year in the province, with two
of them resulting in death. According to the Public Health
Agency of Canada, hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome is a rare
but usually severe disease that
can lead to death. The virus
can be transmitted by breathing in contaminated airborne
particles from the droppings,
urine and saliva of infected
deer mice. People could become ill after cleaning infected
areas.
Health officials are reminding Saskatchewan residents
to take precautions against
hantavirus infections.
“People should be aware of
mouse droppings and nesting materials when cleaning
buildings,” Saskatchewan’s
deputy chief medical health
officer Denise Werker said in
a news release. “Take precautions to prevent direct contact
and inhalation of particles that
may be contaminated.”
Deer mice, the animal that
carries the disease, are present throughout Saskatchewan.
Symptoms of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome include
fever, muscle aches, cough,
headaches, nausea and vomiting followed by shortness of
breath and respiratory failure.
“Seek medical attention
immediately if you develop a
fever, muscle aches, coughing
and shortness of breath within
one to six weeks of exposure to
mouse-infested areas,” Werker said in the news release.
When cleaning rodentinfested areas, people are advised to:
• Ventilate the building by
opening doors and windows
for at least 30 minutes before
cleaning;
• Use wet mopping methods and wear rubber or plastic
gloves;
• Wear goggles and a filter
mask when cleaning areas
contaminated by droppings in
a confined space;
• Dampen areas contaminated with rodent droppings
with bleach disinfectant and
remove droppings with a
damp mop or cloth;
• Avoid using dry cleaning methods such as dusting,
sweeping, vacuuming or airhosing;
• Steam clean, shampoo, or
spray upholstered furniture
with a detergent, disinfectant,
or a mixture of bleach and water; and
• Wash clothes and bedding
with detergent in hot water.
Exposure to hantavirus can
also be reduced by:
• Blocking openings that
might allow rodents to enter a
building;
• Storing human and animal
food, water and garbage in
containers with tightly fitted
lids; and
• Moving woodpiles or other
hiding places away from your
home.
There have been 30 cases

Modified blueprints of Centennial Leisure Park approved
By Coral LaFond
A group of interested neighbourhood parents and community
members met in 2008 to form a committee for what would come
to be the Centennial Leisure Park in Shellbrook. They initiated
plans to fundraise for playground equipment to be placed in the
newly designated green space in the new residential development on the eastern edge of town. As the fundraising activities
progressed, town council appointed the recreation director and a
town council member to be liaisons to the committee.
The Town of Shellbrook also recommended that the committee
consider installing pathways and lights and benches; this opened
up discussions to ideas of many other features that could be included in the development of a new park for this location.
The committee agreed on the name of Centennial Leisure Park.
‘Centennial’ was to recognize that Shellbrook was celebrating 100
years as a community in Saskatchewan in 2009. The term ‘leisure’
was included in the park name as the committee felt that the large
green space has potential to be developed into a beautiful park.
In 2010 and 2011, the playground equipment and skateboard
park were installed. Along with a temporary hill for snow sliding,
the main youth features were completed. However, much more
development is required to create a facility that includes a wide variety of features which would appeal to more ages and interests in
our community.
In order to create a park with a leisure atmosphere, the committee initially met with a landscape architect in 2010 to discuss how
to proceed with future development. Due to extenuating circumstances, consultations changed to a second architect who was able
to set us on track to gather information needed to proceed with
plans. But another change of architects was required. In 2012,
committee chairperson Coral Lafond and the recreation director
met with landscape architect Gordon Forsyth of Saskatoon to discuss a ‘wish list’ of features to be included in the plans of this new
park. Forsyth proposed a contract and consultation fee to design a
master plan for the Centennial Leisure Park; the contract was approved by Coral Lafond, committee member Angela Adams, committee treasurer Dianne Ethier and town councillor Lyle Banda.
Forsyth, Lafond and Banda encountered a few challenges during
the process of creating this park plan, but in late May 2014, Forsyth
Record export
numbers in June
Saskatchewan goods were in demand and on the move in
June, with the province recording more than $3 billion in
export sales for the month – an increase of nearly 34 per cent
over June 2013.
According to a Statistics Canada report released on Aug.
7, this is the highest recorded export sales for the month of
June.
“These statistics are a reflection of the strength of our
economy,” Trade Minister Jeremy Harrison said in a news
release. “With Saskatchewan exports once again outperforming the majority of provinces, this is a sign that our
economy continues to be on the right track.”
Commodities on the rise in June included farm, fishing
and food products, up 63.8 per cent to $869 million; consumer goods, up 56 per cent to $280 million; and energy
products, up 39.6 per cent to $1.2 billion.
“All of these commodities combined demonstrate the
strength of the Saskatchewan economy,” Harrison said in a
news release. “When our economy is strong, we all benefit.”

The Shellbrook town council approved a modified version of the Centennial Leisure Park blueprints
above, relocating the sliding hill to the eastern area and opening up the northwest corner for a large open
playing field, as well as minimal regrading of the area.
presented the official blueprints to Lafond and current Shellbrook
Recreation Director Jennie Hosie. Some highlights of the plans
include removal of the current sliding hill in the northwest corner
to make room for a soccer field extending towards the playground
area; re-grading of the entire park area to improve water drainage
and allow installation of pathways, benches, and a potential circuit
of adult fitness equipment; placement of a gazebo/entertainment
structure and picnic areas; a half-court basketball pad and hoop;
an improved sliding hill re-located to the (yet undeveloped) east
area; parking stalls; lights; and trees and shrubs.
“These plans are not grandiose but are plans for a beautiful park
with usable features for recreation and leisure in our community,”
said LaFond.
However, this project does come with a fair but hefty price tag
(based of 2014 costs) of $1.5 million. On June 23, Lafond presented the blueprints to Town Council for consideration. Council
members were interested in the plan, but along with Lafond, were
overwhelmed with the cost and magnitude of the proposed project.
After consideration, Town Council approved a modified version
of the proposed plans: relocation of the sliding hill to the eastern
area as proposed; open up the northwest corner for a large open
playing field (with potential for future development into a soccer
field if/when needed); minimal re-grading of the area; initial focus on installation of pathways, benches and lights. Costs will vary
from the proposal depending on: the time-line of fundraising and
the feature installations, grants and funding that can be secured
for the various features; and if/when volunteer labour can be incorporated.
During the initial planning stages of the park development and
consultations with landscape architects, it became apparent to Lafond that “blueprints were an absolute necessity in order to make
this park a valuable asset for our town.”

“If we continued to plunk in various features at our own random
will, we would eventually run into some serious problems and the
park would not function to the utmost benefit of our community,”
she said.
These blueprints will also be useful to aid in preparing grant applications for funding as the dimensions and locations of the features are well-defined.
Since initial fundraising activities were intense and obtaining
blueprints was a slow process, there is no longer a functioning park
committee intact.
“With blueprints approved, our community needs to embrace
this opportunity to continue the development of this project with
new people and new ideas,” said LaFond.
The blueprints will be unveiled at the Shellbrook Street Fair on
August 23.
“Shellbrook is a vibrant and progressive community; when this
green space is developed into a beautiful park, our community and
visitors will be able to create many happy memories as they enjoy
the Centennial Leisure Park for years to come.”

OPINION

Art is for
everyone
After covering a couple of artisan tours in the area and
speaking with several artists, I observed some similarities
in the way they describe their works of art and the process
of creating them.
Something they all shared was
that, at the start of their project, they
had no idea of how their work was
going to be materialized. They said
the ‘not knowing’ was the most exciting part of it, and that as their work
was taking shape, they felt curious to
see what direction it would take.
What I’ve also learned was that
putting thought and care into a work
of art can be a healing or freeing

I never allowed myself to paint
anything. My older brother is an artist and he has done some impressive paintings since he
was a child. After seeing the work that he does, I never
dared even to try, thinking nothing I created would ever
be as good. However, lately I have come to realize that art
is not about showcasing your talent. It is not about creating something that is necessarily beautiful or pleasing to
other people. Art has nothing to do with ego or finding
approval, and it certainly does not come from the ‘brain.’
While speaking to and observing different artists, I
noticed how they all share the same feeling - that art
manifests through them. They did not create the pieces
themselves. I mean, sure, they were the ones painting it,
designing it and doing the work. But the most important
action they did was to allow the inspiration and creativity to manifest through them. In a way, artists are people
sensitive enough to allow their spirit to come through to
create something meaningful.
I can definitely relate to that principle with photography.
Sure I need to know about aperture, ISO, shutter speeds
and the principles of lighting. But in the end, what makes
for a good picture is never the knowledge and planning.
They are all part of it. But when the right moment presents
itself, you just know it. You need to be sensitive enough
to acknowledge the right moment and press the shutter
button. It’s almost as if, for a split of a second, the camera,
yourself and the image become one. They connect in that
moment to create something unique, something that has
never been captured before.
With all that in mind, I decided to buy a screen and some
paint this week (it’s amazing all you can find at the Dollar
Store). I figured it was OK that I did not know anything
about painting techniques or even knew how to draw (and
I can certainly draw like a four-year-old sometimes).
I put some music on and served myself a glass of wine.
While preparing the brushes and setting up the different
colours of paint, I looked at the white screen and felt a bit
puzzled - I had no idea of what I wanted to create. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a shot.
One artist I met at the 12-40 and Beyond Tour told me
she starts all of her paintings with a simple circle. She
draws a circle somewhere on the screen and that form
expands by taking the colours and shapes that her heart
desires.
So I followed her advice. I started my painting with a
simple triangle in the middle and I allowed my emotions
to take over and expand that simple form into something
else.
Did it look good in the end? Would it ever sell? Does it
even make sense?
I have no idea. It probably doesn’t. But when I woke up
the next morning and looked at the painting, I felt pure
joy. After all, those colours and shapes were a real extension of my feelings. And in the end, isn’t that the whole
point of art?

Bill C-30 too little; too late
There is some good news in the fact that
we aren’t expecting a bumper crop like the
one we had last year:
It shouldn’t be quite as big a struggle to get
the grain to port this winter.
But this should come as little solace to
rural Saskatchewan farmers who still must
contend with a federal government that still
isn’t tough enough on the railways.
Whatever hope we had last winter that
the Conservative government in Ottawa and
Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz would quite
literally lay down the law and make the
movement of grain the prior for the railways
has simply not come to fruition.
Simply put, Ritz and his federal government could have and should have done
more, although perhaps it’s not completely
fair to blame all the problems on their inaction. Several factors did not work in farmers’
favor.
For starters, that 76-million-tonne crop
that came off prairie farm fields was the
largest in Western Canada and would have
been problematic under the best of circum-
stances. The same

Yes, they are private companies, but they
also run a monopoly transportation system
heavily subsidized over the years by the fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers
of Western Canadian farmers.
The new regulations to Bill C-30, the Fair
Rail for Grain Farmers Act, unveiled earlier
this month needed to keep that in mind.
Certainly, Ritz go rhetoric in his Saskatoon
announcement earlier this month by proclaiming he was creating “a rail supply chain

clarity of the operational terms in a service
level agreement that can be arbitrated by the
Canadian Transportation Agency, and; improvement on inter-switching.
The regulations also put into law the federal order-in-council from last March that
ordered the railways to increase shipment
by one million tonnes or 11,000 cars a week.
But both the Saskatchewan Party government and the federal Liberal and NDP oppositions rightly note that volume needed to

this only preserves the status quo.
And even that status quo is rather shortlived as these regulations are set to expire
in two years.
Simply put, this is producing a lost marketing opportunity for Saskatchewan farmers for 2013 crop year and little hope of getting ahead in the future.
Moreover, even if we have an average crop
of 50 million tonnes or so in 2014 _ a likely
outcome _ there still is that 17-million-tonne
backlog carried over from the 2013 crop.
Again, that makes it very difficult for
farmers to get ahead of the game.
And while the laws may now allow individual produces to sue for damages, that
right doesn’t extend to their representative
farm agencies that would be more effective.
As has been the case for some time, the
railways will continue to move grain at the
convenience of their business. That will
continue to mean after more profitable contracts with the oil companies.

On Sunday afternoon, August 3rd. over 400 people gathered at Morin Lake Reunion Grounds for an inspiring afternoon of gospel music. The event was organized by the parish
of Notre Dame des Victoires.
The Trudel family and Erik Paquette opened the show, fol-
lowed by Leslie and Diana Schutte, and Janice and Jamie
Peake from Canwood. Next was Victoire’s own Gilles Francoeur, followed by Stephanie Lloyd accompanied by the Valley boys.
The father and son duo of Irvin and Darryl Amundson
treated us to some fine gospel music. The Trudels took to the
stage again for another set and then were joined by all the
performers for a closing song. The event was capably emceed by Rita Couture.

Agricultural research important
In terms of agricultural crop research there are really two
different types, both holding their own level of importance.
There is the research carried out by seed and chemical
companies and public researchers, the sort of work which
leads to the development of new crop varieties and agricultural products.
Obviously the work at the base level is critical because it is
the work which pushes yields higher, and develops varieties
resistant to disease and insect pressures which arise at the
farm level.
But not every new variety, not every crop, not every farm
practice is a one-size fits all thing.
What will grow well, and turn a profit in the process, on
the Prairies south of Regina, may well not work in the Parkland of Yorkton, or the forest fringe around Nipawin and
Carrot River.
It is, of course unreasonable to expect a university researcher, or even a larger seed breeding company, to run trials in every distinct area across the Prairies.
Such localized research has to be carried out though to
provide producers some guidelines to follow in terms of what
might work best on their farm.
As an example, soybeans are garnering
more Canadian Prairie interest. A crop
once thought impossible to grow here managed to cross the 49th parallel and fit into
southern Manitoba farms years ago. Since
that time varieties with shorter growing
seasons and less reliance on heat units
have expanded the crops’ traditional growing area.
But a variety that grows well at MoosoCALVIN
min, SK., might not do as well at Yorkton,
DANIELS
or Kamsack.
The date to seed soybeans in Moosomin
~
might also differ from the best case scenario of another area.
That is where groups such as the East Central Research
Foundation have such importance.
The ECRF is one of eight producer-directed research and
demonstration groups in Saskatchewan making up the Agriculture – Applied Research Management (Agri-ARM) network. As part of the network the groups often share research
ideas, and replicate projects to provide more broadly-based re-
7
sults for relevance over a larger area of the province.
In the case of the ECRF they have forged some rather interesting partnerships in order to carry out their research efforts
having signed a memorandum of understanding in 2013 with
Parkland College. Working with the college opens the doors to
new funding sources, and in turn provides the college with a
sort of living classroom (the research plots) for students.
Interesting, the plots are located on land owned by the City
of Yorkton, which suggests a good understanding by the City of
the importance of agriculture to the local economy.
Researchers involved with the ECRF and PC are testing soybean varieties by seeding date, canary seed fertility, oat varieties by nitrogen rate, wheat and canola with Environmentally
Smart Nitrogen technology, wheat fungicide timing and cereal
forage. It is such research with direct relevance to farmers
growing the crops locally which makes the work so important.
The results should be something farmers can use in making
decisions which directly impact what they do on their farms,
hopefully helping them make the right crop choices to ensure
a profit.
It is to be hoped localized research is always part of the process to help farmers be successful.
Growers with unseeded acres need to consider weed control options
Growers across the West
have been faced with a number challenges this season
that have left many acres unseeded. Cold, wet conditions
this spring followed by devastating summer hail storms
and flooding have taken millions of acres out of production.
Affected growers will need
to think about how to best
manage those acres since
weed control will be a key
concern as preparations for
next year begin. Weed management strategies such as
chemfallow, pre-harvest and
post-harvest
applications
should be considered as a
part of weed management

practice.
Unlike traditional summerfallow, chemfallow can save
growers a lot of time since
there is no need for tillage.
But growers will need to take
the time to properly scout
fields for weed type and size
in order to spray herbicides at
the proper timing.
Historically, as many as
three applications of glyphosate have been applied to
chemfallow rotations to control weeds. But with the confirmation of glyphosate-resistant weeds in all three Prairie
provinces, tank-mixing will
be more important than ever.
Western Canada has seen
glyphosate-resistant kochia
spread from a few sites in
southern Alberta to multiple
sites across three provinces.
Adding an additional mode of
action to glyphosate is going
to be critical in helping delay
the weed from continuing to
spread.
“Proper herbicide rotation and tank-mixing with
glyphosate wherever possible
is extremely important and
is a practice that is going to
help control weeds in the long

High Tech farming demonstration
On Thursday August 7th Farm World in Prince Albert
hosted their Fall Fiesta Customer Appreciation Day, with
27 information sessions, and a trade show, with 20 vendors for farmers and guests to take in.
One of the highlights was a demonstration of a flying
drone.
There was something for everyone from Kennedy’s Animal Nutrition Centre to Serendipity Bra Boutique, Young
Essential Oils, as well as a childrens activity centre, SaskTel, FCC and much more. Customers were able to gather
valuable information, enjoy cake, coffee, donuts and burgers and visit.
Farm World had over 1000 people in attendance to help
celebrate their 1st Anniversary in their new location and
the 30th anniversary of Farm World itself.

Prince Albert Parkland Health receives grant
The Prince Albert Parkland Health has
received a grant from the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement to enhance efforts for partnering with patients
and families.
“We appreciate the support of the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement
as we look to develop stronger relationships
between patients, families and health care
providers,” said Cecile Hunt, Chief Executive Officer.
The Canadian Foundation for Healthcare
Improvement announced its 2014 grants today at the 6th International Conference on
Patient- and Family-Centered Care: Partnerships for Quality & Safety in Vancouver.
Prince Albert Parkland’s grant is for Developing Standards for Partnering with Patients. There are over 200 active patient and
family advisors in Saskatchewan, including 22 in Prince Albert Parkland, making
positive changes to the healthcare system.
However, there is an absence of standards
for recruiting patient and family advisors,
as well as to prepare patients, families, staff
and physicians to partner together.
This improvement project aims to improve the experience of patient and family
advisors and enhance their integration into
teams of healthcare employees and providers. Standard work, assessments of engagement level, checklists and orientation materials will be a few of the elements. Once the
improvement project has been tested and
implemented in the Prince Albert Parkland
Health Region, it will be spread provincewide to the other 12 Saskatchewan health
regions.
“All of our rapid process improvement
workshops must involve a patient representative,” Hunt said. “We also had four patient representatives in the 3P planning for
the Victoria Hospital redevelopment. The
patient representatives provide important
feedback on how our processes affect them
and their family members. It also keeps all
of us focused on the people we serve.”
Prince Albert Parkland Health Region has
held 24 Rapid Process Improvement Workshops in the past 18 months. A 3P planning
session for the Victoria Hospital was also
held in March 2014. A summary of those improvement events can found on the Region’s
website under News & Information – Our
Improvement Journey. Videos of the Report
Outs can be been seen at http://www.youtube.com/PAParklandHealth. People inter-
ested in becoming involved as patient representatives on improvement activities, or be

Rob Clarke Report
Our Conservative Government is committed to ensuring that Canadians are getting what they pay for.
Our “Fairness at the Pumps
Act” is now in force.
The Fairness at the Pumps
Act is designed to place more
responsibility on retailers in
regard to the accuracy of their
measuring devices.
“Canadian families expect
that when they fuel up, they
get what they pay for,” said
James Moore, our Government’s Minister of Industry.
“The new rules coming into
force will mean better protection for consumers when purchasing measured goods such
as gasoline and groceries. Canadians expect their government to make decisions that
put the interests of consumers first. These new measures
will improve the bottom line
for Canadian families and ensure that they are getting real
value for their hard-earned
dollars.”
The new regulations will
give inspectors the proper enforcement tools to hold businesses accountable for the
accuracy of the measuring
devices used in their places
of business, while increasing
court-imposed fines under
the Electricity and Gas Inspection Act and the Weights
and Measures Act. Fines
have been raised to $10,000
(from $1,000) for minor offences and $25,000 (from
$5,000) for major offences. A
new fine of up to $50,000 for
repeat offences has also been
introduced.
The Fairness at the Pump
Act will protect consumers
from inaccurate measuring
devices and increased inspections will punish anyone applying unfair business practices. Bruce Cran, President
of the Consumers’ Association of Canada, agrees, saying, “The Consumers’ Association of Canada supports this
new federal legislation, which
is a much-needed step in the
right direction, and applauds
Minister Moore’s action on
this file. The Fairness at the
Pumps Act will help make
sure Canadians get what they
pay for.”
Our Government is dedi-
Four generations come together

dollars. Programs such as

are helping us achieve this
goal.

The weekend of August 23 and 24 marks the province’s second free fishing weekend of the summer. Everyone – including
visitors to the province – will be free to fish on those days without having to buy a licence.
Due to extreme rainfall and flooding in some areas of the
province last month, boaters were advised to stay off some lakes
for their own safety and to prevent disruption of flood mitigation
efforts. As a result, people may not have had the opportunity
to take advantage of the Free Fishing Weekend in July. However, everyone will have the chance to enjoy another free fishing
weekend in Saskatchewan.
“Free fishing weekend is a good time to try your luck fishing in
one of Saskatchewan’s wonderful lakes and rivers, and to introduce new anglers to one of the province’s most popular outdoor
activities,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “Sport fishing
attracts more than 225,000 residents and visitors to our province, and generates more than $300 million each year.”
Free Fishing Weekend does not occur in national parks, and
anyone planning to take fish out of the province must purchase a
licence. All other fishing regulations apply, including possession
limits, reduced limits and closed areas on some lakes and rivers.
Anglers on Lac La Ronge must have a free endorsement to
conserve and enhance the lake trout population, and to gather
angling pressure data on the lake. The free endorsements are
available online through the Ministry of Environment’s automated hunting, angling and trapping licence system, from all
licence issuers, ministry offices, and at select provincial park
offices.
More information about fishing in Saskatchewan can be
found in the 2014 Saskatchewan Anglers’ Guide, available wherever fishing licences are sold, or online at saskatchewan.ca/fishing.

Childcare Centre needs help furnishing the facility
Happy Hearts Childcare Centre is asking the community to help furnish and stock the facility with “new
or gently used” items.
The new daycare needs children’s toys (indoor and
outdoor), furniture such as rocking chairs and booster
seats, arts and craft supplies, as well as kitchen appliances and utensils.
A collection day is set for Sep. 6 at St. John’s Lutheran Church, located at 704 Adamson Road in Shellbrook, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Nicole Philp, one of the board members of the day-
care, said it’s important for the community to get involved because the childcare centre is a “charitable organization that will serve the families and children of
this community for years to come.”
“Donating now - either financially or with in-kind
gifts - contributes not only to the successful opening
of the facility, but also to a lasting legacy of care for the
children who live in this area,” she said.
The new daycare will offer 33 spots for children in
total. Three of them are reserved for infants (from
six weeks to 17 months); 10 spaces for toddlers (18 to

Children discover the joys of gardening
Children from Shellbrook’s Playground
Program visited the town’s Community
Garden on Aug. 6 and learned about the
principles of gardening.
They harvested vegetables such as radishes, beans, peas and onions, and also
spent some time weeding. They did not
spare their questions, wanting to know
about the different types of plants and
how to identify weed.
Laura Cleveland, community garden
coordinator, helped children understand
how the different plants grow and how
to know if a vegetable is “ripe or ready to
pick.”
“They were a great help,” said Cleveland. “I love when kids are enthusiastic
about gardening and the environment. It
makes my job worth it.”
During their visit, children also discovered the haskap, a crop grown by the
University of Saskatchewan that looks
and tastes like blueberries. And they also
found out that the flowers were growing
in the garden for the purpose of adding
colour.
“I thought it was interesting to know the
kids are involved in the community,” said
Cleveland.

St. Andrew RC Church in Blaine Lake celebrated 100 years
Volunteers? - we have them at St. Andrew’s! Eleven Parishioners immediately
offered their talents to serve on the 100th
Anniversary Committee.
In preparation for this special celebration,
repairs and upgrading to the church took
place. This involved a lot of Parishioners
painting, building, repairing inside and outside, cleaning, etc., and they made our 100
year old church look new again!
Three very special projects were undertaken for the celebration. The first one was
to obtain a statue of St. Andrew, something
this church never had. A local wood carver
was found (Mike Voros) and he hand carved
a one-of-a-kind statue out of basswood for
us. The second project was a tile cross. Every Parishioner, from ages 10 to 94, each
painted a picture on a 4”x4” ceramic tile,
and those tiles were all mounted together
into 3’x5’ framed cross. The third project
was to repair and restore the miniature-toscale replica of our church, and move it back
into position in the churchyard.
After lots of mingling of ideas, hard work,
and further volunteering, the big day finally
came on August 2, 2014.
Celebrations started off with a tour of the
church, where the old vestments could be
seen hanging in between the stained glass
windows.
Following this, people went to the cemetery for a Blessing of the Graves. Visitors
commented on how well kept our little cemetery was.
The afternoon was spent at the school gym
enjoying fellowship and refreshments, with
a guitar soloist playing softly in the background.
People were very interested in the display
tables of our Prayer Shawl Ministry, our
Archives, and the pictures of all our Parish
priests since 1914. Mass started with Father
Ramel Macapala blessing the tile cross and
the statue of St. Andrew. Concelebrating
Mass with Father Ramel were Father Ian
Boyd, who grew up in Blaine Lake; Father
Herve Vallee, who lived here as a young
boy; Father Allan Dangel, who will be our
new Parish priest; and Vicar General Father
Maurice Fiolleau, whose grandmother attended our parish for a while.
Following a delicious roast beef supper,
served to 148 people, Mayor Andy Ciona
brought congratulations from the Town;
musical numbers were offered by Michelle
Lavoie, Diana and Chloe Woytiuk; a power
point presentation was shown on the history
of the church; and Father Maurice honored
us as our guest speaker. He presented our
Parish with an apostolic blessing from Bishop Thevenot. Father Maurice recognized all
those who helped build this Parish, from the
early days to now, and said they are all a
special gift to the Diocese.
The following morning, we served a pancake breakfast to 68 people. Attendees
shared their appreciation with Committee
members many times, and expressed how
thoroughly they had enjoyed such a wonderful celebration.

Lena Woytiuk
WOYTIUK - P

th
Peacefully
arms of an angel Lena Woytiuk left
this earth surrounded by her family, in her home on August 5, 2014.
Lena was born in the Sich District
on May 15, 1924. She attended the
Sich School -she was unable to finish her schooling as family duties
called. Mom took great pride in her
first job which was at The Empire
Hotel in Prince Albert. A highlight
was serving the Rt. Honourable
John George Diefenbaker.
She married Fred Woytiuk on July
12, 1945 in Albert town Saskatchewan. Between 1945 and 1960 they
farmed in the Krydor area. During this time 5 children were born,
Marg, Kenneth, Joyce, Theodore
and Gerald. In 1960 they packed
their meager belongings and moved
to Shell Lake. Mom often referenced how they moved north to
an abandoned home built in 1912.
There they completed their family whenRose and Geraldine were
born.
They built a life together, working side by side for 25 years. Mom
picked stones, milked cows, hauled
bales, grew a huge garden, and prepared thousands of meals for family, and friends. No one entered
Mom’s home without being fed.
In 1985 Dad suffered a stroke,
moving Moms focus to full time
care giver for 10 years. In 1987
Mom began her battle with Cancer,
facing this dreaded disease five different times. She battled the disease like a warrior.
In 2001 Mom moved into the Village of Shell Lake – finding peace
knowing that the farm she and Dad
built would be carried on by her
Grandson Jody. Mom then took to
OBITUARIES
~
turning her new home into a floral
paradise. She was a talented gardener and was proud of the awards
received from the Spiritwood Horticultural Society. She loved her
new home in town, and a whole new
circle of friends were made!!
Mom took up painting later in life
– she loved to sketch and to paint.
Her love of art is evident in many
beautiful paintings- she was proud
to be part of the Thickwood Hills
Studio Trail for many years.
Mom’s life was filled with family,
and numerous friends. She was a
remarkable lady - more people than
we know refer to her as Baba Lena,
Mom, Auntie and friend. She had a
personality that people of all ages
were drawn to.
In the past year, Mom’s health
challenged her – she referred to her
last few days as a “war.” But she
fulfilled her dream – her last days
were spent in her home, surrounded by her family, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and
countless friends.
Left to cherish her life of love:
Daughters, Marg (Earl) Iverson of
Saskatoon, Joyce (Alex) Skarpinsky of Shell Lake, Rose (Brian) Diesen of Shell Lake, Geraldine (Ron)
Lavoie of Spiritwood and son, Gerald (Laurie) Woytiuk of Shell Lake.

LeBLANC - Mary “Doris”
With wonderful memories held close to
their hearts, the family of Doris LeBlanc
announce that with the same peace, grace
and gratitude that she lived her life, she returned to the Lord on Monday, August 4,

Doris was born Mary Doris Willick on
April 7, 1939 near Marcelin Saskatchewan,
the sixth of eight children to Raymond and

home for her family.
On December 30, 1957, she married her
best friend and sole mate, Claude LeBlanc.
Together they spent 56 wonderful years,
working tirelessly side by side to raise six
children and build a happy, loving home together.
Doris, was a very caring individual whose
commitment to family and faith never wavered. Every member of her immediate and
extended family felt her genuine love and
generosity. Those who knew her, knew of
her intense love of a good game of cards and
her incredible talent for painting. These

pictures are now treasured by each of her
children.
Community was also very important
to her and she was actively involved in St.
Agatha’s Parish, which was very dear to
her heart. She gave of her time and talents
cheerfully and humbly.
Doris felt that the most important of all of
her jobs was being a Mom, and in this, as in
all other things, she excelled. Her children
always knew without a doubt that they were
loved, and are left with many wonderful
memories that always include laughter, her
home baking and her kindness.
In recent years, she and Claude were very
blessed with several Grandchildren and
Great Grandchildren who have been so
lucky to be able to create many of the same
happy memories with her as well.
Doris is lovingly survived by her husband
and best friend of 56 years, Claude LeBlanc.
Their six children, Ed LeBlanc, Karen (Kerry) Stene, Larry (Yen) LeBlanc, Betty (Ken)
Skarpinsky, Darlene (Gary) Grant and Todd

QB Willy leads Bombers’ turn around

The War Amps float passed on the vital PLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE message at the
recent Saskatoon Ex Parade. This year’s theme, “Safety is no Accident – Spot
the Danger” was depicted in the colourful, animated float, specially designed
to capture the attention of children, and remind them to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP)
Program Jabari Amadi, 8 of Shell Lake joined the float as a Safety Ambassador.
As a left leg amputee, he is well qualified to pass on the PLAYSAFE message.
He has met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented. Jabari now works at spreading the message of “playing safely” to as
many children as possible.

God’s
Garden
Dave Whalley, DLM
Knox United Church
This past spring I planted our garden and it has grown
nicely and is producing some wonderful produce to nourish our bodies. I have been reflecting on these gifts from
the Great spirit to me and how blessed I am.
God’s garden though, nourishes my soul. It contains
squash and commands me to squash out indifferences, selfishness, gossip and grumbling. I have found that squash is
a good reminder of how to respond to others and myself
when I see indifference, selfishness, gossip and grumbling.
I have experienced all four traits in myself and others this
summer.
I love lettuce and so I planted several Romaine lettuce
which I have shared with others. In God’s garden first and
foremost lettuce be faithful to God, lettuce be kind to all
people, lettuce be patient with people, and lettuce love others unconditionally, which is the second great command of
Jesus. This helps direct my life towards good relationships
with my neighbours, friends, and family
My favourite vegetable in the garden is peas. I planted
three long rows of peas to remind me of my spirituality to
be in wholesome relationship with other people. I have to
make sure that God is in control and the centre of my universe. To be of value to others I need the peas from God’s
garden; peace of mind, peace of heart, and peace of soul to
be in right relationships with others. These I get through
prayer and meditation.
I also need turnips in a garden if I am going to live in
community with others.. In God’s garden it reminds me to
turnip for meetings on time, turnip for service because it
is more blessed to give than to receive, and turnip to help

This expansion is part of the long-term strategy to increase ac-
one another in God’s world.
God’s garden also has a spice that we all need in our lifethyme. Thyme to spend with each other, thyme to be with
family, and thyme to be with friends, which reminds me of
Ecclesiastes 3 which refers to a “time for everything.”
I have watered and cultivated our garden on a regular basis and my prayers will be answered of gathering an abundant amount of produce and God assures me that I will
reap what I sow.
This fall I pray that all of you will have a productive garden, both produce-wise and spiritually this fall. May the
Scriptures and the Spirit direct our lives as we cultivate our
“gardens” for a good life in this world that God has created
and we are the caretakers.
To each and everyone I am praying for a good harvest
for all.
