The Shellbrook Town Council ap-proved the 2013 budget during a meet-ing on May 13. This year’s budget turned out to be lower than last year’s, which contained a number of specifi c large expenses. “Our budget was sub-stantially higher last year because of the waste water treatment plant and . . . (because) we were digging a well,” Town Administrator Kelly Hoare said. The ab-sence of these big projects has resulted in the revenue required to meet budget-ary needs going from about 3.3 million in 2012 to about 2.9 million in 2013.

While none of the new expenses are on the same large scale as those of 2012, there are a still a few projects of note in the works. For one, a new splash park is being constructed at the local pool. The price tag for the project is about $83,000, with half of the funding com-ing from the federal government. Also, a new Scout building is going up in the park. Council fi rst looked at renovat-ing the old building, but when potential costs started rising into the $15,000 range, they decided instead to demolish the old, unsafe building and to build a new one. The money budgeted for this project is about $25,000. The future purchase of a dump truck also shows up on the budget this year. Council had budgeted $25,000 for the truck in 2012, but after a major water break and a re-vamped budget, they never got around to purchasing one. They have rolled that expense to this year and increased the budgeted amount to $50,000 for this item.

Council has also passed a resolution to enter into a six-month agreement with EPS Management Services Inc., who will be responsible for bylaw enforcement in Shellbrook.

In an article that appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press on May 7, the Canadian Press’s Bruce Cheadle stated that the federal government has now spent over $100 million in ad-vertising costs in order to promote the Economic Action Plan (EAP). According to its slogan, the EAP’s purpose is to pro-vide Canadians with jobs, growth and prosperity. The tele-vision ads show Canadians experiencing these three things in an uplifting and positive way. Cheadle states, however, that Treasury Board guidelines dictate that government ads funded by the taxpayers are supposed to inform citizens

about programs and services. These ads do not accomplish this goal, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper admits. Harper claims that the purpose of the ads is instead to highlight the confi dence of Canadians and the direction that the country is headed.

Cheadle goes on to quote Mathieu Ravignat, the NDP Treasury Board critic. “Government is not a product to be sold. Ads shouldn’t be selling a product, they should be in-forming Canadians.”

Saying goodbye to Parkland Terrace2 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com May 24, 2013

It is hard to believe this will be the last submission from Parkland Terrace as we know it now. We have been home to many wonderful people over the years. Friend-ships, connections and caring have been cherished; we have loved and experienced many losses. As we prepare to move into a new chapter of care we will remember all the wonderful years we have had together.

After many hours of fundraising, plan-ning, and building, we anxiously await the

moving dates into our new home. Many of us and our family members will have had the grand tour and although it seems over-whelming, we are excited!

We wish to thank the many people who have made this possible and continue to add to the quality of life of our community. The Shellbrook and District Health Services Project Committee along with the support of many have volunteered countless hours to fundraising.

The Parkland Terrace Foundation Incor-porated is a group of individuals who as-sist in enhancing the quality of life of our residents by allocating funds from gifts “in Memorial’s” or “Donations”. Most recently three new fl at screen televisions, one for each house in our new home, were approved. Previously the Foundation has supported our home by funding lifts, slings, specialty chairs, tubs, outdoor fencing, sensory/men-tal stimulation items, and the list goes on.

We are also fortunate to access services from the Health Care Auxiliary for numer-ous volunteer opportunities like resident excursions and special events. Providing the extras such as fl owers, decorations and gifts help to make special memories for celebra-tions like Mother’s and Father’s Day, Christ-mas, Halloween, etc. The Auxiliary also op-erates the tuck shop at the hospital, which is a service open to make purchases from. The group meets every second month, new members are welcome.

If you wish to support the Health Care Auxiliary, Parkland Terrace Foundation or Shellbrook and District Health Services Project income tax receipts can be issued.

The packing and sorting has begun. Rec-reation opportunities are on a slowdown in order to assist with the enormous job of pre-paring. Family members are encouraged to pick up moving information updates which can be found in the family mailboxes at our home.

In order to bid farewell to Parkland Ter-race we will be hosting a “CLOSING CER-

EMONY” and POT LUCK BBQ, with the meat supplied. Both current and previous family members, staff, and volunteers are welcome to attend Monday, May 27th, 2013 from 3:00-5:30. We ask for you to consider sharing a story, tidbit, music piece, special memory or such. The 10 minute time frame signup sheet is located on the Recreation room door, drop in and add your name!

If you are a PAPHR registered volunteer we invite you to help with the transition. We are looking for help with directing people throughout the Parkland Integrated Health Facility (home and hospital). We are recruit-ing one to one volunteers to assist residents on the day of the move. Please contact Trina at 306-747-4292 if you are available to help on any or all of the following dates: May 29, 30, and 31. Complete descriptions of where help is needed will be provided once a list of volunteers is compiled.

Did you know Woodland Bus Association offers special transportation services for members of our community? If you are in-terested in booking this service or becoming a SGI registered driver please call Trina at 306-747-4292 or Grant Martin at 306-747-3648 for more information.

We will be in full operation and open to the public June 3rd, 2013. We look forward to settling in and enjoying all our new home has to offer!

The local Kinsmen Club recently cashed in on a large collection of re-cyclable bottles and cans that had been deposited into donation bins around town. Due to the large number of donations, the Kinsmen asked the local Kinettes to help with the sorting of the materials. As a result, the group decided to donate all of the acquired funds to the park upgrade project, which the Kinettes are chairing. The total haul, which came from about six months of collecting, was $1300. Photographed are Robert Chuback, Kinsmen Treasurer; Tasha Cyr, President of the Kinettes; Brad Dupuis, Kinsmen Vice President; and future Kinette Iza-belle. The Kinsmen would like to announce that they would prefer it if everyone refrained from depositing milk containers into their bins. There is no money for milk container returns and their presence takes up space and drastically slows down the sorting process. The contin-ued donation of bottles and cans is appreciated. All of the money from these returns goes directly back into the community.

In recognition of Police Week Shellbrook RCMP hosted a barbecue fundraiser in the Town of Shell-brook. On and off duty members along with detachment staff and auxiliary members all worked to-gether to make the event a success. The event was well attended by over 100 people and almost $400.00 dollars was raised and will be donated to a local organization yet to be determined. The weather was great and everyone had fun!

Saskatchewan in motion is not surprised by the grades in this year’s Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth. The Report Card released earlier today assigned a “D” grade for active trans-portation, stating that 62% of Canadian youth, aged fi ve to 17, use only inactive modes of transportation to get to and from school.

According to data collected from 10 active transportation projects implemented by in motion, Saskatchewan children and youth are on par with national averages.

The pilot projects utilized a number of methods to deter-mine student transportation methods and family attitudes toward active transportation. The majority of families lived within 1.5 kilometres of school, however 36% of students were driven to school, 26% rode the bus and 38% walked.

“Our pilots found that in comparison to children who are

driven to school, children who walk report feeling happier and excited and also less tired and less rushed,” says Mar-nie Sinclair, Community Mobilization Manager, Saskatch-ewan in motion.

The top three reasons parents reported driving their kids to school are convenience, weather and distance from home.

Less than 15% of Saskatchewan children and youth are getting the more than 60 minutes of daily physical activ-ity they need,” says Cathie Kryzanowski, General Manager, Saskatchewan in motion. “Walking to school is one of the easiest ways to increase activity levels, and the benefi ts are signifi cant”.

Families can learn more about active transportation and other ways to inspire kids to move more by visiting sas-katchewaninmotion.ca.

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com May 24, 2013

When something is no longer useful to us, we get rid of it. We take things out to the curb, put them up for sale, hock them or give them away. It only makes sense. Why hold on to something when it no longer serves a purpose? Objects clutter and take up space, so we dispose of them to make room for something

new. I think that most of us fi nd, however, that some things are easier to part with than others.

I was listening to CBC Radio recently and I learned about a musical group from Iceland called the Apparat Organ Quar-tet. They play a unique brand of music that involves numer-ous synthesizers and some per-cussion, but what’s interesting about the band is their affi nity for old, outdated instruments. In fact, they have struck a deal with the sanitation department in their hometown, and if an old musical instrument is ever dis-carded, they get a phone call and fi rst crack at the merchandise. They then take the instrument,

perform the necessary repairs or updates, and often use the device on their next album. Just another ex-ample of a seemingly useless object fi nding a purpose based on a simple change of scenery.

Other things seem more likely to fi nd their way into new homes once discarded. Cast-off books, for exam-ple, often turn up somewhere else. They end up in li-braries or used bookstores or our own personal, dusty shelves. They seem to accumulate life every time they change hands. They fi ll with inscriptions and notes;

corners of pages crease to mark pauses. Clothes seem to change hands often as well. Passed down or sold, they too carry with them traces of former owners. Scents and spills and stains, they can remind us of relatives who have passed or offer questions of lives lived by strangers. Certain things remain ingrained in the fi bers wash after wash after wash.

I used to know someone who bur-ied things. Sometimes it was just a small piece of equipment that no longer worked, but he also buried big things, like cars. He would bring in someone with a backhoe, select a spot on his farm, and have a massive

hole dug for the car to be buried in. I’m not sure why he did it. Perhaps he couldn’t bear to part with those cars. We have all felt sentimental for such things. We experience signifi cant moments with a certain object present, and that object begins to embody some of the emotions that went with the experience. And to hold on to those cars might have been just as diffi cult—to watch them sit and rust and deteriorate, things that were once so powerful and exuded such grace. Per-haps he simply couldn’t make up his mind, couldn’t decide whether he should sell the usable parts or put the car out to pasture, and so while he tried to fi gure it out he would just bury the cars for safekeeping. I’m not exactly sure why he did it, and now I’ll never get the chance to ask him.

It’s probably a good thing that we are able to stay so detached from material objects. We all know that these are not the important things, though some-times we forget it. But sometimes these unimportant objects can cling to something worthwhile, perhaps something that’s gone, and in these objects we can fi nd a sort of comfort that’s hard to throw away.

One Person’s Trash . . .

Paul Martin CommentaryThis province’s manufacturing sector continues to

ride the wave.The labor and capital intensive goods making sec-

tor has been struggling in recent years. In the US, the northeast where much of the manufacturing capacity used to be housed came to be called the Rust Belt. In this country, central Canada’s Golden Trian-gle which dominated our manufacturing sec-tor has struggled to recover from the down-turn of 2008.

But here in the West the story reads like a different book. We have a lower reliance on the American market so the impact of US recession was more subdued. We have concentrated on things like farm machinery development or creating equipment for the oil patch, two segments of the economy that have fared better than sectors such as auto-motive.

And the strength we’ve seen in this part of the country is not abating. The most current numbers on manufacturing sales volumes – for Febru-ary - are on an upward trend. February was better than January and the last year saw a gain of nearly six per cent, the best performance west of Atlantic Canada.

***The Theory of Natural Selection, Charles Darwin’s

thesis that species survive not because they are stron-gest but rather because of their ability to adapt has a new counterpart. But this theory is about the ability of a company to cope with change.

The findings, written up in the on-line publication S + B which tracks leading thinkers in the commercial world, f low from work conducted by three American business and academic leaders who tracked the finan-cial performance of some huge companies and then

looked deeper to see why some consistently did well.What they found is that contrary to popular be-

lief, some big companies can actually turn on a dime, adapting to new conditions and rewarding sharehold-ers savvy enough to bet on them.

The common element among these players was a management system designed to adapt, be-ing willing to drop what’s working today for something better for tomorrow’s world.

Being willing to change or adapt leads to agility, according to their findings, and com-panies that embrace agility are the ones with the capacity to outpace their competitors over and over again.

***One of the leading indicators of where

an economy is going in a few months is the wholesale sector’s performance. That’s be-cause wholesale goods become retail goods down the road, whether they are ultimately consumed here or abroad.

In general terms the wholesale sector is also a strong job generator as this part of the economy is usually housed in factories and manufacturing plants.

Saskatchewan, historically, was not a big wholesale player compared to other parts of the country but that has been changing. The latest figures on this sector’s sales come from February and they are record setting. Aggregate revenues came in just a touch under $2 bil-lion and, given that February was a short month, it probably understates the level of activity.

That growth – nearly 6.5 per cent over last year and more than five per cent over January – points to a part of the economy that is continuing to pick up momen-tum. With signals that the global economy is not grow-ing as quickly as expected this suggests we are gaining market share.

There is no question that Saskatch-ewan Premier Brad Wall was where he should have been in the final days of the spring legislative sitting ... even if that place was nowhere near the legislature or even in the country.

Wall spent much of last week of the legislative sitting promoting what he called the province’s “game-changing carbon capture technology” at the an-nual carbon capture and storage (CCS) conference in Pittsburgh.

Of course, some will question the va-lidity of such trips ... and not without valid reason.

The Premier’s last U.S. trip to Wash-ington earlier in the year to promote the oilsands and sway President Barack Obama’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline was of questionable value.

For starters, Wall should have gone down with Alberta Premier Alison Red-ford, whose province has the biggest stake in the oilsands. Having two pro-vincial premiers there at the same time would have been a more effective lobby.

Second, Wall’s courting of mostly Re-publican politicians that don’t especially get along with Obama had many inside Ottawa worried he may have been do-

ing more harm than good.

However, a U.S. business conference on carbon capture is different. Wall should be there be-cause Saskatchewan should have a lead-ing role.

SaskPower is hop-ing by next year to start capturing as much as 90 per cent of the CO2 emissions

from the Boundary Dam power station near for enhanced oil recovery in the nearby Bakken Play oilfields. The tech-nology Wall is using is something that can be sold to what Wall described as the “large players” at the Pittsburgh confer-ence.

The problem, however, is that Wall must do more that talk the talk to the Americans. He and government have to walk the walk on carbon capture at home. And that hasn’t been happening this year.

It’s centrepiece research project _ the University of Regina’s IPAC-CO2 project

that was to provide guidelines for safe carbon capture and storage _ was wound down last month.

Wall explained that IPAC-CO2 had simply completed its work. In reality, the federal/provincial/private sector project has been plagued with controversy _ mostly, involving over-billing and con-f licts of interest involving other compa-nies with close ties to principal players in IPAC-CO2.

This is not helpful, given that carbon capture technology is already taking it on the chin from critics as unproven with potentially worrisome consequences.

Adding to Wall’s problem selling Sas-katchewan CCS to the Americans _ again, a laudable goal because of U.S. concerns about Canada’s “dirty oil _ is the fact that CCS development in Sas-katchewan is playing second-fiddle to projects in Alberta and elsewhere.

While Alberta has also seen two of its four private-sector CCS projects _ TransAlta Corp.’s Pioneer project and the Swan Hills Synfuels LP synthetic gas plant _ because of economic feasible concerns, the province remains commit-ted to CCS in a big way.

Alberta Energy Minister Ken Hughes

said earlier this year his province would maintain its $1.3-billion commitment to its two remaining private sector proj-ects, including one touted as the “Trans-Canada Highway” for carbon dioxide.

Because of this, it’s Alberta now get-ting most of the federal support for CCS.

The federal government was clearly unhappy about the mess at IPAC-CO2. And it also balked at Wall’s proposal a couple years ago for a joint Montana-Saskatchewan CCS pilot project.

Moreover, Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently announced a $4.7-mil-lion CO2 Solutions Inc. for a project pio-neering the use of enzymes to scrub CO2 from the exhausts of natural-gas-fired steam boilers used to free the bitumen from the oilsands. The project is based in _ of all places _ Quebec City.

In fact, Harper’s recently announced $82 million for 55 clean energy projects _ several of which advanced CCS tech-nology. None were Saskatchewan-based.

With oil and coal so critical to the Sas-katchewan economy _ especially the ru-ral economy _ Wall needs to be promot-ing Saskatchewan CCS elsewhere.

But more needs to be happening at home.

Wall must do moreon carbon capture

YOUR TWO CENTS~

Dear editor,Canadian taxpayers are now paying more for less

thanks to MP Randy Hoback and the Conservative Par-ty’s costly changes to our national census.

The results are in and their decision to eliminate the mandatory long-form census has produced much lower-quality data that will often not be useable at the local level. In fact, Statistics Canada withheld data on over 1,100 Canadian municipalities, including Beaver Flat, because the numbers were just too unreliable.

The government spent an extra $30 million to collect this inaccurate data compared to the traditional, prov-en census. What a waste!

How will a community know where a food bank is needed if we don’t know which neighbourhoods have the most poverty? How will school boards know where adult language training is most needed without know-ing where immigrants are settling? We just don’t know.

The errors in the data will only get worse over time. At least this time Statistics Canada can use the last full census as an anchor to correct some of the problems.

Next time, that option won’t do much good. The problem is spreading: governments and the pri-

vate sector use data from the census to adjust their surveys if a group’s response rate is low. Now all these other statistics will be less reliable.

Mr. Hoback and the Conservatives are asking us to start making big, expensive decisions blindly, without the basic data that is essential to good planning. And they’re charging us more to do it. It’s irresponsible and we’re paying the price.

Yours sincerely,Geoff Regan, MPLiberal Party of Canada Industry Critic

Report from the LegislatureOur government has a

strong record of keeping promises – doing the things we said we would. We did it consistently during our fi rst term, and continue to do so. I am happy to re-port that during the just-completed spring session of the Legislature, we hon-oured several commitments we made in our Growth Plan. We announced our sixth consecutive balanced budget – a budget that con-trolled spending while mak-ing important investments in health, education, infra-structure and support for people with disabilities

We remain committed to making Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live for people with disabilities. During the spring session of the Legislature, we an-nounced the elimination of the 440-person waitlist for people requiring special-ized, residential, and/or day programs to meet their needs. In addition to serv-ing all 440 people on the list, another 215 Communi-ty Living clients beyond the original waitlist have been served. This was a commit-

ment we made in 2008 and represents the largest in-vestment in Saskatchewan history in support of people with intellectual disabili-ties.

Less than a week later, we announced that the Sas-katchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) pro-gram had achieved a sig-nifi cant milestone. SAID is now providing more than 10,000 Saskatchewan peo-ple with long-term and en-during disabilities a better quality of life through the provision of an income sup-

plement that allows them to live with a greater measure of dignity and indepen-dence. Through initiatives such as these, our govern-ment is taking action to use the benefi ts of growth to im-prove the quality of life for all Saskatchewan people.

Other highlights of the spring session included:

• The new Saskatch-ewan Employment Act, which consolidates 12 previ-ously existing pieces of la-bour legislation into one act that protects workers, pro-motes growth and increases accountability;

• The announce-ment of four new private liquor stores – 2 in Saska-toon and 2 in Regina – all of which will open over the next year;

• New laws to im-prove safety in highway construction zones; and

• The introduction of the Saskatchewan Advan-tage Grant for Education Savings (SAGES) to help families save for their chil-dren’s post-secondary edu-cation.

The big story this spring though wasn’t what was

happening in Regina – it was the weather. From brutal spring snowstorms to the potential for signifi -cant fl ooding, Saskatch-ewan people came together in support of one another. As a government, we’d like to thank all the highways workers for keeping roads safe and community lead-ers, government offi cials and volunteers for the long hours they put in to deal with the fl ooding threat. The true spirit of the peo-ple of Saskatchewan shone through yet again.

So those were the bright

spots of the spring session. For the lone not-so-bright spot, you only had to look to the other side of the Legisla-tive Assembly. The opposi-tion, under new leader Cam Broten, got off a to a rough start, when the Saskatoon MLA re-affi rmed his sup-port for the NDP’s disas-trous 2011 election platform, including a concept soundly rejected by Saskatchewan people: a special deal on resource revenue sharing with First Nations. Broten followed that up by fl ip-fl op-ping on support for the Key-stone XL pipeline project. He eventually came down in favour of the project, but only after being reminded it had already received federal approval several years ago. Broten’s support for Key-stone XL puts him at odds with not only his federal leader, Thomas Mulcair, but also with his closest leadership rival, Saskatoon Dr. Ryan Meili. Under Broten’s guiding hand, the NDP then started launch-ing political attacks using false information. As the opposition, they have a re-sponsibility to hold the gov-

ernment accountable, but to do so with facts. This was not the case on several occa-sions during the spring ses-sion. It started when Bro-ten claimed overcrowding at a Saskatoon hospital led to 47 patients being treated in the hallway – it turns out there were only fi ve. His Highways critic, Buckley Belanger, then claimed 90 highways workers were fi red – also not true. This is a disturbing throwback to the days of Dwain Lingen-felter and his 1100 phony NDP memberships which does not serve the people of Saskatchewan well.

In the coming months, MLAs will be doing what they have every summer since the people of Sas-katchewan – you - entrust-ed us with stewardship of this great province six years ago – consulting with con-stituents to fi nd out what your priorities are.

Together, we will work toward achieving the ambi-tious goals contained in the Growth Plan – a popula-tion of 1.2 million people, a strong economy and a better qualify of life.

Continued from page 1Cheadle also cites Lib-

eral MP Scott Brison, who’s research found that it costs taxpayers about $95,000 to air each of its EAP advertisements that

air during CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. The in-teresting thing is that at the conclusion of these television advertisements, there are none of the same disclaimers that appear at the end of some of the new

EAP radio spots. Cheadle cites a spokesman for the Privy Council Offi ce, Ray-mond Rivet, who explains the reasons for this. “The recent radio ads launched by the Department of Fi-nance contained new mea-

sures for consideration by Parliament as part of the March 21, 2013 budget. This is why a disclaimer was included. The recent EAP television advertise-ments did not contain new measures and aired be-

fore Budget 2013.” Many Canadians are wondering why taxpayers are footing the bill for these television ads that, admittedly, con-tain no new information.

Cheadle concludes his article by again citing Bri-

son, who claims that the money spent on each of the numerous Hockey Night in Canada ads would be enough to pay the fed-eral government’s contri-bution to about 32 student summer jobs.

A glimpsing of an earlier timeSome events we attend might best be described as bit-

tersweet affairs.The work horse demonstrations held at Rama, SK.

Saturday fit into that category for me.Anytime I am around draft horses I am happy. There

is something about the gentle giants I have always felt attracted too.

It could be that my father quit school in Grade 8 to stay on the farm and work horses, or maybe it’s because I’ve always appreciated history, and they have been a huge part of the agricultural history of this country.

That is one reason I very much appreciated Merlin Ford’s book ‘Horses, Harness and Homesteads: The History of Draft Horses in Saskatchewan’. It is a book which really shows just how diverse the roles were for work horses in the early days of the Prairies. They were more than power on the farm, moving freight and goods in urban settings, doing yeoman work in forestry, and frankly being an integral part of just about every un-dertaking you might imagine in a time Saskatchewan was moving from Prairie grass to farmland.

Ford’s work was also a timely one in as much as most of those who worked with horses on a daily basis are passing.

My dad, not long gone himself, was of that generation when horses were still important to farming, but their days were numbered. Trac-tors, which many thought would never replace the horse, did, and it was a change which occurred in a relatively short period of time.

And that left work horses in a pre-dicament.

When an animal is bred to work, and that work disappears, then there is not much left for them to do.

So work horse numbers declined.Today there are still those who hitch work horses and

put them to laborious tasks. This spring I visited with Kristina Just who is fulfilling a long held dream by now feeding her cows on the farm not far outside Yorkton with a team.

It was a cool spring morning when I visited, but she was smiling as she did her chores with the help of two Belgians who also seemed to relish being put to a task for which they were bred. And that was what Rama was

all about. Teams were hitched to plows, cultivators, discs and harrows to ready a plot for planting.

It was like glimpsing an earlier time watching the teamsters put their horses to work. It was particularly poignant having seen several massive four-wheel drive tractors working in the fields on the way to Rama. The contrast in times was quite dramatic.

For me it was a great morning.But I was left wondering who will carry on the tradi-

tions of working horses in the years to come?The teamsters were all grey-haired, marking the ex-

perience of a lifetime harnessing draft horses, hitching them to all manner of equipment and putting them to the task. Who will know how to keep the horse plow and disc operational? Who will have the love of the big horses to keep them working a decade from now? Or two? Or three decades into the future?

We live in a time when the knowledge of our work is a keystroke away, yet the practical skills of the recent past may slip away if we are not careful.

Hopefully that won’t be the case for how to work with horses, because it is such a tangible connection to our collective past.

Saskatchewan’s econ-omy is one of the stron-gest and healthiest in the country. The agriculture industry and the farm-ers who drive its success are major contributors to provincial prosperity. Farmers are continually adapting, acquiring new knowledge and develop-ing the skills needed to incorporate new farm management practices.

This constant innovation is crucial, as it allows farmers to place them-selves and their business in a position tofurther drive(the thriving econo-my.

Farmers can get advice and assistance in making changes to their business by meeting with their Regional Farm Business Management Specialist.

One of the Regional Farm Business Manage-ment Specialist’s goals is to help farmers prepare and respond to future op-portunities and challeng-es. They aim to achieve this by creating the con-ditions for long-term

competitiveness, farm sustainability and adapt-ability, emphasizing self-reliance and helping farm families achieve higher net income, higher net worth and reduced risk. Regional specialists have the resources, knowledge and skills necessary to make this goal a reality for Saskatchewan farm-ers.

They provide informa-tion on a regional basis, including publications, bulletins, workshops, meetings, news articles, webinars as well as indi-vidual consultation. Much of what the specialists of-fer is focused on the de-velopment of a sound farm business management plan and includes the ar-eas of marketing, succes-sion, financial planning,

production economics, human resource issues, business structures as well as overall business strategy planning includ-ing environmental ele-ments.

The specialists help de-liver programs through the federal provincial agreement, Growing For-ward. Regional farm busi-ness management spe-cialists provide services, information and support for farmers who wish to access training or con-sulting services, apply for benefits or develop a farm plan. The Regional offices work together with the Agriculture Knowledge Centre in Moose Jaw to respond to any producer inquiries such as land rental arrangements, cus-tom work, cost of produc-

tion calculations and any other topic related to farm business management. Regional Farm Business Management Special-ists are a tremendous re-source and can be used to aid farmers in all areas of farm management devel-opment.

The Federal-provincial-territorial agriculture policy framework called Growing Forward 2 has recently announced a program that focuses on helping farmers build their business by support-ing innovation, commer-

cialization, sustainability and profitability. Farm Business Development Initiative (FBDI) is a farm business management program under Growing Forward 2.

By Sara WilliamsAs much as 50% of house-

hold water is applied to your lawn.The easiest way to cut your water bill then is simply to stop watering your lawn. But to do that you need to use low main-tenance grasses.

These are grass species and cultivars that persist with few inputs, require little water, fertilizer or mowing. Instead of be-ing smooth and soft, they tend to be clumpy, lumpy and one does not volun-tarily walk barefoot on

them. They are usually mowed at 3–6 in. – some-what higher than conven-tional lawn grasses. These grasses work well on farms and acreages where their function is primarily visu-al. Once established, they require only occasional mowing and almost no ir-rigation or fertilizer.

There are several species of three main genera to choose from: fescue (Fes-tuca), bluegrass (Poa) and wheatgrass (Agropyron).

Chewings fescue (Fes-tucarubra var. commu-

tata) has narrow, dark blue green leaves. It can be mixed with creeping red fescue and Kentucky bluegrass in conventional lawns. It spreads by tiller-ing, is shade- and drought-tolerant and adapted to in-fertile, acid soils.Chewings fescue and creeping red fescue make a good blend, similar in height to a con-ventional lawn but requires less water, fertilizer and mow i ng.R e c om mende d cultivars include:‘Agram’, ‘Arctared’, ‘Banner’, ‘Vic-tory’, ‘Longfellow II’, and

‘Silhouette.’ Blue-green in colour,

sheep fescue (Festucaovi-na) is strongly clumping with good drought toler-ance, and widely adaptive, from dry to moist soils and from basic to acidic. Rec-ommended cultivars in-clude ‘Nakiska’ and ‘Azay.’

Hard fescue (Festucaovi-na var. duriuscula) has a mature height of 6–10 in., with wider blades and a more greyish-green co-lour than other fescues. It is slow growing but once established forms a low ground cover that competes well with weeds. Growth slows down during the heat of summer. It is drought- and shade-tolerant. Newer cultivars seem less clumpy and many contain endo-phytes – naturally built-in biological controls against insects such as sod webworms and chinch bugs. Recommended cul-tivars include:‘Aurora’, ‘Biljart’, ‘Durar’, ‘Eureko II’,‘Reliant’, ‘Spartan’ and ‘Spartan II.’

Shorter growing (4–12 in.) and coarser than Ken-tucky bluegrass, Canada bluegrass (Poacompressa)is blue green and adapted to soils from moist to dry

and infertile and from acid to basic. It has a fibrous root system with extensive rhizomes, and a clumpy form. It is tolerant of wear, stress and drought and is disease resistant.‘Reubens’ is less clumpy to non-clumpy than the species.

Although very drought tolerant, wheatgrasses show a strong clumping habit and are less dense than other grasses.Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron-cristatum) is a clumping bunch grass with excel-lent drought tolerance. The species seeds readily and may become invasive once established, particularly if planted near or among na-tive grass species.‘Fairway’ crested wheatgrass is one of the best grasses for non-irrigated lawns.

Northern wheatgrass (A. dasystachyum), a na-tive species, is relatively low growing at 20 to 30 cm (8–12 in.). With a strong spreading habit and ex-tensive rhizomes, it estab-lishes quickly and is well adapted to slopes, banks and sandy soils. Greyish green in colour, it has a clumpy appearance.‘Elbee’ has excellent drought tol-erance.

Streambank wheatgrass (A. riparium) is a dryland species used in pure stands or in mixtures with small amounts of Kentucky blue-grass. It t is a low-growing, sod-forming grass, with narrow leaves and stems 12–30 in. high. It has vig-orous rhizomes, is long-lived and colonizes both by seed and its spreading root system.

It f lourishes on well-drained soils, withstands mowing and is highly com-petitive with weeds under dryland conditions. Long recommended for farm lawns, it establishes quick-ly with good germination and seedling vigour.

The seeding rates for the above in pure stands are 3.5–4.5lb/1000 sq. ft for the fescues, 1–2 lb/1000 sq. ft for the bluegrass, and 3–5 lb/1000 sq. ft for the wheatgrasses.

Annual Flag Day held in Canwood

10 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com May 24, 2013

On Monday, May 6th at 11:00 a.m. the Canwood Elks and Royal Purple members had their annual fl ag raising ceremony in front of the R.M. building. The fi rst week in May is Hearing and Speech Awareness Week. Early detection of communicative disorders is everyone’s responsibility. For more information and assistance visit the websites www.elks-canada.org or www.royalpurpleofcanada.org. The students of Mrs. Howat’s Pre-K class were on hand to help celebrate the fl ag raising event.

It used to be that you could walk down to your local hardware store or gas station, converse with the clerk or other famil-iar patrons, and with no more than a pen and some offi cial forms of pa-per, you could walk out with your fi shing license in hand. This is no longer the case at many used-to-be license vendor sites, as a new electronic system has been implemented that has caused some pro-prietors to discontinue the practice.

Its name is HAL, and it is the brand new Hunting, Trapping and Angling Li-cense System as present-ed by the Government of Saskatchewan. Through this system potential li-censees are able to go on-line from the comfort of their homes and, through a series of clicks, register themselves in the data-base and print off their new licenses. All that you need is an internet con-nection, a credit card, a unique email address and a printer. For those who possess these items, the new system will certainly prove to be convenient. It is only when one lacks one of these articles that problems can arise. In those cases, the other op-tions include registering over the phone or physi-cally seeking out a vendor who has made the switch to the new system.

Scott Moe, MLA of Ros-thern-Shellbrook, says that along with the conve-nience that an automated system provides, HAL will also help by providing the Ministry of Environment with real-time feedback that will assist them in their various initiatives. “What this fi ts into is, fi rst of all, the growth plan for Saskatchewan that the premiere announced last fall, but it also fi ts into the Ministry of Environment and what they are doing with their results based approach to resource management.”

According to the Gov-ernment of Saskatche-wan’s website, prior to the implementation of HAL on April 1, 2013 there were 600 license issuers in the province. Currently there are only 239 who are registered and trained to use the new system, even though everyone who participated in the old system was invited to switch over. Some common complaints are arising from various es-tablishments that are choosing to abstain from HAL. Many feel that to

switch over would be too expensive. For a shop to use the system it must fi rst equip itself with a computer, internet access and a printer that can be used to issue licenses, and for some this means an added expense. They feel that the ability to provide a license would not bring enough added traffi c to their store, and the com-mission they would make on sales, which amounts to $1 per license, is insuf-fi cient.

In the town of Shell-brook there used to be a number of locations where angling licenses were available for pur-chase. As of now, there are none. “There has been a reduction in the number of private vendors,” Moe said. “But then there is the option now, which was not there before, to do it either by telephone or by website.”

Some vendors who have decided to make the switch are very happy with the new system. One such vendor is the Wil-low Insurance Corpora-tion located in Shell Lake. Owner Rose Freeman said that for them the transition was very easy. Being an offi ce, the com-pany already had all of the necessary equipment re-quired for changing over to the electronic system. They are up and running with HAL and Freeman said that the response from patrons has been very positive. According to Freeman, when prob-lems do arise, the sup-port has been excellent and they have found that snags can often be worked out. “An individual went to another vendor to pur-chase one and there was an issue with the trans-action, it wouldn’t print properly,” Freeman said. “They came in and there was still an issue with the system so I talked to the Active Network, the ones that monitor the ac-tual software, and they were extremely helpful. I called them and they had it straightened out.”

“With any change the roll out is never just per-fect,” Moe said. “I know there have been some hurdles with the roll out of the HAL system and the Ministry of Environ-ment is working to ad-dress those.” It’s prob-ably too early to decide whether HAL should be kept or thrown back, but for now anyone hoping to get out there and fi sh will have to adapt to the new system.

Attention Hunters & Anglers!

The system to purchase your hunting or angling licences has changed to provide you with more options.

To sign up for your HAL ID and purchase your hunting or angling licences you can: • Phone 1-855-848-4773, • go online at www.gov.sk.ca/huntingandfishing or • visit selected Provincial Parks offices, a Ministry of the Environment office or a Private Issuer.

You will need a valid Saskatchewan Health Services card and provide an identification number such as: driver’s licence, RCMP, Canadian Armed Forces ID, Canadian Firearms licence, or passport number.

Continued from page 1They will patrol town

periodically and also re-spond to complaints in order to fi nd infractions of the town’s bylaws. This will include things such as unkempt yards, traffi c violations and loose ani-mals. They will be pres-ent in town for fi ve hours a week, and they will vary these times randomly in order to remain unpre-dictable.

Council passed bylaw 2013-01 at the meeting and submitted it to the Saskatchewan Munici-pal Board (SMB) for ap-proval. This bylaw per-tains to water, sewer and infrastructure rates for the next three years. The bylaw states that there will be a 10% increase in water and sewer rates for the remainder of 2013, and that the infrastruc-ture rates will increase

to $15 per month, with a minimum total bill of $62.90 per month for all three. In 2014 there will be a 10% increase in water and sewer, and an infrastructure rate of $18 per month, with a minimum total monthly bill of $70.70 per month. In 2015 there will be a 10% increase in water and sewer rates, an in-frastructure rate of $21 per month, and a mini-mum total monthly bill of $79 per month. Also, billing will change to a monthly minimum bill, with an actual reading being done every three months. These rates will take effect on the day of approval from SMB or on July 1, 2013, whichever is later. The increases were determined upon the completion of asset management plans on the town’s sanitary sewer

system and water works system, which opened the council’s eyes as to how underfunded the town’s infrastructure has been in the past.

The mill rate has been set at 12.1, which is down from the 39 mills last year.

The reduction was due to assessment increases. All land for residential and agricultural use will incur a base tax of $100, while the base tax on commercial land will be $250. Also, there will be a minimum tax on resi-dential improvements of $700. The mill rate fac-tor on residential and ag-ricultural will be 100%, and on commercial it will be 300%. In the midst of all these numbers, the bottom line is that some people’s taxes will go up, and some people’s taxes will go down.

If this past week is any in-dication, there’s no doubt that under ideal conditions, the equipment and technology being used in the fi elds today are allowing us to plant more crop than ever. The most re-cent U.S.D.A crop progress report showed that over 63 million acres of major crops in the U.S. was planted in just one week. This is equiva-lent to the same area as about the size of Texas! Up here in Canada, while we didn’t plant nearly as many acres, we defi nitely held our own proportionally with produc-ers across the Prairies letting us know they’re pushing the limit to get the crop in.

With regards to the U.S.D.A. progress report, 43 per cent (or 41.84 million acres) of the corn crop was planted in just 1 week, bring-ing the total to 71 per cent. Further, 24 per cent of the U.S. soybean crop is now in the ground, an improvement of 18 point week-over-week. Granted these numbers are still well behind the fi ve-year average of 79 per cent and 42 per cent respectively, it is a signifi cant improvement from where we were just a couple of days ago.

The planting conditions in Western Canada have been

fairly ideal with rains fairly spotty in all except Mani-toba. The wet fi elds in the eastern-most Prairie prov-ince is certainly putting a damper on the hope that more crop can get put in at a pace similar to our American neighbours. That being said, the same weather system is affecting the likes of North Dakota where it’s been esti-mated that at least 500,000 acres will likely be switched out of corn and into soybeans or a cereal crop. Should the same be expected for Mani-toba? It varies by region as some areas were soaked with three inches in less than three days while others only got a few sprinkles.

Switching continents, Aus-tralia continues to receive some much needed rain in major wheat producing re-gions. This would help a crop there return to natural form a from a drought-infl icted production shortfall last year. As such, with Aussie wheat supplies getting very short, prices are a little high-er than the rest of the global market (as indicated by In-donesia’s recent purchase of 45,000 tonnes of Canadian spring wheat versus a closer purchase from the Land Down Undaa).

At the end of the day, a lot of crop is going into the ground in a short period of time.

This in mind, there is some risk on the table should the weather not cooperate dur-ing key growth stages (i.e. the expected late June/early July corn pollination phase). Should things go more along the lines of normalcy, then we can expect to see a grad-ual decline in grain prices as a result of the higher an-ticipated supply. Ultimately, that’s what happens when you get all hands on deck & everyone contributes a little here & there.

Crosby, Toews headed for cup showdown?Which young National

Hockey League superstar will be the fi rst to win two Stanley Cups?

We could fi nd out in mid-June whether it’s Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks or Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Both are 25 years of age, have one Cup each to their credit and appear headed for a Stanley Cup fi nal showdown. Their teams were the class of their respective conferences during the shortened 48-game regular season and neither has shown any signs of slowing down in the post-season. Crosby, generally acclaimed as the best hockey player in the world, won his Cup in 2009, leading the Pen-guins past Detroit Red Wings in the fi nal. The next year, Toews and his Hawks were crowned champs, downing Phila-delphia in the fi nal.

Having two teams oth-er than Pittsburgh and Chicago in this year’s fi nal would have to be regarded as a huge sur-prise. The Penguins were

nine points better than runner-up Montreal in the Eastern Conference, and Chicago’s closest ri-val in the West, 11 points behind, was Anaheim. Both of those runner-up teams are already on the sidelines, leaving what appears to be a clear path for Pittsburgh and Chi-cago to zip through to the fi nal.

Hockey fans all across North America are root-ing hard for Crosby. He missed most of the 2011-12 season with a concus-sion. After this year’s lockout ended in Janu-ary, he got off to a sensa-tional start with the Pen-guins, leading the scoring race by a mile before he took a slapshot in the jaw, fracturing it, and causing all kinds of tooth damage. He made it back in time for the playoffs and has been playing some of his best hockey.

Crosby, who wears the number 87 because he was born Aug. 7 (8-7) in 1987, may be on top of his game because he’s so fresh thanks to all the injury time off. It says

here that in mid-June, he’ll still be fresh enough to carry the Stanley Cup around ei-ther the Consol Energy Centre in Pittsburgh or the United Center in Chicago.

• T. J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times, on what would happen if Josh Hamilton swung a bat at him in re-taliation for a column he wrote critical of the Angel slugger: “Everyone knows he would miss, especially if I ducked low and away from him.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “A new hybrid sport called FootGolf combines soc-cer and golf.

The basic goal is to combine the elements of soccer with the elements of golf to create a TV viewing experience that functions as a cure for in-somnia.”

• Charles P. Pierce at Grantland.com: “Alex Ovechkin . . . skated all over the ice, hitting ev-

erything ex-cept the net. Ovechkin fi n-ished the se-ries with one goal, but he was credited with 13 hits (in Game 7), and 13 hits is great if you happen to be the Supremes, but not so hot if you’re one of

the most gifted offensive hockey players on the planet.”

• Mark Whicker of the Orange County Register on Twitter: “Mike Keenan hired by Mettalurg Mag-nitogorosk of KHL. And they thought Putin was a tough guy.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “A Reddit user who has never played competitive basketball declared him-self eligible for the NBA draft ‘after a few drinks.’ So it sounds like the Charlotte Bobcats found their second-round pick.”

• Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the

highest earning athlete for the second straight year. Although that would be changed if there was ever a pay per view show-ing of a fi ght between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia.”

• Greg Cote of the Mi-ami Herald: “Tiger Woods won the Players Championship and also made Sergio Garcia really mad. So it was like win-ning twice!”

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “Thomas Tus-ser is credited with the proverb ‘A fool and his money are soon parted.’ In a related item, Jerry Jones gave Tony Romo a $108 million contract ex-tension.”

• Headline at TheO-nion.com: "Cleveland Browns gearing up to punt ball down oppo-nents' throats."

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “A semi-truck overturned on I-271 near Richfi eld, Ohio, spilling hundreds of hot dogs. Giants third base-man Pablo Sandoval im-mediately put in for a be-reavement day.”

• Janice Hough of left-coastsportsbabe.com: “The latest player caught in baseball’s testing pro-gram is a Marlins mi-nor league pitcher who has been suspended 50 games. If you have to cheat and you can’t even make the Miami Marlins roster, maybe it’s time to fi nd a new career choice.”

• Another one from Dickson: “The odds of winning the $600 mil-lion Powerball Lottery are about 1 in 175 million. Speaking of, how are the Houston Astros looking in the playoff race?”

•Another one from Cote: “Tim Tebow re-mains unsigned. ‘Hey, you know he’s in trouble if even I can’t help him,’ said God.”

• Cote one more time: “Alabama coach Nick Saban called it ‘terribly disappointing’ that Flor-ida assistant Tim Davis called him the devil. ‘Hey, being compared to Saban isn’t exactly a thrill for me, either,’ said Satan.”

OBITUARIES~

THIESSEN - Herman Thiessen He was a loving, caring

husband, father, and grand-father who enjoyed the sim-ple things in life. His fi rst love was always his family, of which he spoke so proudly of and shared so many fond memories with.

His grandchildren were very dear to his heart and he always found the time to keep them busy, playing cards or dice, or taking them for trac-tor, quad or skidoo rides.

He had immense respect for nature and admired spending most of his time outdoors, whether it was working in the fi eld, tend-ing to his cattle, trapping, or watching wildlife.

He had a great sense of humour, loved to tease and joke, and his smile could always light up a room. Music and dancing was a favourite pastime of his, he never wanted to go home from a function.

His character was very infl uential and touched the lives of many. He was a genuine, kind-hearted, down to earth person with a soft voice and a huge heart. He was stub-born, determined, and strong-willed which enabled him to persevere.

The cabin was his haven, a place where he could get away from daily life and relax. His trap line was very important to him, and his hard work and dedication resulted in nu-merous awards for his furs.

He was always up for a visit and a few drinks which seemed to get stronger as the night progressed. He was a one of a kind man, who will always be greatly loved and missed.

Herman leaves to cherish his memory, his loving wife of 49 years, Vivian; children: Shannon and her daughter Heidi (Ryan) – Tiffany & Kolby; Charma and her children: Jeremy (Desiree), Chelsea (Cyril) & Kimberly (David); Sherlyn (Donald) and her son Shawn; Bradley (Angie) and their children Liam& Kara.

He also leaves his mother, Anna; and his siblings, Judd, Margaret, Mary (Richard), Judy (Dale), Martha, Bernice (Wayne); and numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Herman was predeceased by his father, Henry; his brothers, Henry & Abe; his sisters, Helen &Tena and a son-in-law, Denis.

Herman passed away with his family by his side on May 15th, 2013 at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert, SK. at the age of 70. It is Herman’s wishes to have a private family service, which will be held at a later date.

For those wishing to honor Herman’s memory with a do-nation, the family would like the Cancer Clinic in Saska-toon to be the charity.

The Honourable Kevin Doherty, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport along with the Coaches Associa-tion of Saskatchewan has once again proclaimed May 25 – June 1, 2013 as Coaches Week in Saskatch-ewan. This week, we take time to recognize and cel-ebrate the valuable contri-butions coaches make to sport and our communi-ties, as well as to offer edu-cation opportunities for

Saskatchewan coaches. “Coaches Week is dedi-

cated to celebrating the thousands of coaches who make a difference in the lives of their athletes and to amateur sport in Sas-katchewan. Through their skilled leadership and pas-sion for their sport, coach-es inspire young people, and help them achieve their goals, as well as ex-perience the many ben-efits that participation in

sport offers,” said Garry Armstrong, Chairperson of the Coaches Association of Saskatchewan. “I en-courage you to take the op-portunity during Coaches Week to recognize and say “thank you” to the coaches in your sport and com-munity and to also con-sider becoming involved in coaching yourself.”

“Coaches are dedicated individuals and important role models. They instill

values in our youth such as commitment, team-work and sportsmanship,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said. “Coaches play a vital role in improving sport and recreation in our prov-ince and are leaders in pro-moting healthy, active and vibrant lifestyles for the people of Saskatchewan.”

There are more than 20,000 coaches in the province, most of who

work as volunteers. These coaches dedicate their time and energy to supporting Saskatchewan athletes on and off the field, and are integral to the success of Saskatchewan’s sport sys-tem.

We encourage all those involved in sport and the media to join us in rais-ing awareness of Coaches Week in Saskatchewan and saying “thank you” to coaches across the prov-

ince. For more information on

Coaches Week, or to get involved in coaching, visit www.saskcoach.ca.

The Coaches Association of Saskatchewan (CAS) is a not-for-profit provin-cial organization which represents the interests of coaching in the province. CAS strives to enhance the development and recogni-tion of coaches at all levels in all sports.

Call for Volunteers: If you would like to volunteer this summer for the museum or tourist booth, please contact me

how much of an impact it is having on our bodies. Make sure that when participating in physical activity that you are aware of your heart rate. Make sure you drink plenty of water when exercising, don’t wait until you are dehydrated! Cool down your body after exercise by gently stretching to reduce and prevent buildup of lactic acid.

Lactic acid is what gives you pain the day after a big work-out. Exercise can increase your hunger so be sure to eat your carbs and required calories at least 30 minutes after work-ing out.

Remember to keep updated with all things Shellbrook on our Facebook page, Shellbrook Recreation.

BITTNER - Rudolph Bittner, 1911-1966Ottelia Bittner, 1920-2009.TO OUR PARENTS

A bouquet of beau-tiful memories

Sprayed with a million tears,

Wishing God could have spared you

If just for a few more years.

We cannot have old days back

When we were all together,

But secret tears and loving thoughts

Will be with us forever.

A silent grief that’s in our hearts

No human eye can trace,

For many a broken heart is hid

Beneath a smiling face.

Many moments throughout the day

It feels as though you are near,

Memories of you come our way

MISS YOU...WISH YOU WERE HERE.- Love from all of your children.

IN MEMORIAM - Mason, Mark. In loving memory of Mark, March 27, 1964 - May 16, 2003.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

Some stay for a while and leave foot-prints on our hearts,

And we are never,ever the same.

Forever loved and sadly missed.- Love Mom and Dad.

IN MEMORIAM - Kotyk, Orest. March 3, 1952 - May 23, 2012.

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.Miss you so much. - Love Deb and families.

Local nurse honouredHealth care has been prevalent in the minds of many

community members these days with the upcoming open-ing of the new Parkland Integrated Health Centre. In the midst of all of this, it is sometimes easy to forget about the individuals who help these facilities function. One such person was honoured recently with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Pam Archibald, a registered nurse at the Shellbrook Primary Health Care Clinic, was granted this national honour for her efforts at the clinic and in the community.

According to the Governor General of Canada’s web-site, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was created in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II taking the Throne as Queen of Canada. The medal was designed as a way for Canadians to honour Her Majesty for her service, while at the same time honouring individual Canadians who have contributed to the coun-try’s success.

The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) was invited to award 30 of these medals to deserving RNs across the country. According to the CNA website, Pam was selected for the award because of the attention she gives her pa-tients and the extra work that she does in the community. “When Pam is faced with a new treatment regime, a com-

plex patient or an unusual symptom, she investigates and uses an evidence-based approach to ensure her patients receive the best care possible,” the website states. “Pam’s main priority is her patients. She is compassionate and caring and strives to provide patient and family-focused care. Chronic disease management is only a small part of her day. S

he also spends considerable time involved in commu-nity engagement activities. Besides having a very busy role in the clinic, Pam recently took on an additional role: presenting a six-week program for individuals and fami-lies living with chronic conditions called Live Well with Chronic Conditions. Pam exemplifies the role of the nurse practitioner, showing how this role aligns with the team-based care model.”

“I offer the warmest of congratulations and thanks to all of the medal recipients,” CNA president Barb Mildon said at a congratulatory dinner held in Ottawa on March 5. “These medals represent a distinct achievement in each of their exemplary careers. They will also serve as an inspi-ration to the entire nursing community. No matter what capacity or sector an RN works in, he or she is engaged in and committed to helping Canadians and the health care system reach a higher level of health.”

2013 Big Game draw now openThe 2013 Big Game Draw is open until June

17 for Saskatchewan hunters.“Our province is blessed with abundant

sporting opportunities,” Environment Min-ister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Best of luck to those participating in the 2013 Big Game Draw and I wish all hunters an enjoyable and safe season.”

According to an evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Environment in 2005, it was esti-mated that hunters contribute $107.5 million to the economy annually through their sport-ing activities - approximately eight per cent of the total amount spent on all tourism activities in Saskatchewan. Much of this expenditure generated economic benefi ts to rural areas across the province.

All hunters on the draw application are reminded they must have their own unique Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence iden-

tifi cation number (HAL ID) and are urged to obtain one before applying for the draw to avoid complications with their application.

Hunters can receive a HAL ID: •Online at www.environment.gov.sk.ca/li-

cences/ •Through private issuers, ministry offi ces

and select park offi ces; or •By phone at 1-855-848-4773 between 8

a.m. and 9 p.m. (CST) Starting this year, licences will not be

mailed automatically to successful applicants as the HAL ID allows licences to be issued via the automated licensing system. Information on who was successful in the draw will be posted on both the big game draw site and on an individual’s HAL account starting mid July.

The 2013 Saskatchewan Resident Big Game Draw Supplement is available at www.envi-ronment.gov.sk.ca/hunting/.
