Bully Free Zone campaign makes a stop in Shellbrook
A powerful message--emphasized by
strummed notes and quick fingers dancing
over a fiddle--was delivered to the youth of
Shellbrook on November 18.
Donny Parenteau’s Bully Free Zone campaign and school tour hit W.P. Sandin on
Monday, and students from Shellbrook Elementary made their way over to the high
school to take part in the event.
Parenteau began the presentation by telling the audience a little bit about himself. As
a young boy growing up in Prince Albert, he
did not take well to his first few endeavors.
He spoke of attempts at hockey and baseball
that proved fruitless, but emphasized to the
students that it is important to keep trying
out different activities until you find the thing
that is right for you.
“You’ve been given the breath of life for a
reason,” he said. “Find out what that reason
is, and do something good with your life.”
For Parenteau, that revelation came at age
14, the first time he picked up a fiddle. Music
became his life’s ambition, with the ultimate
goal to one day play at the Grand Ole Opry in
Nashville, Tennessee.
After ten years of hard work, Parenteau’s
dream came true at the age of 24, the first
time he was invited to play on that particular
stage.
Following his performance he called his
mother on the phone. He told her that he
had just achieved everything he had ever
dreamed of doing, and asked her what he
should do next. “Get new dreams,” she told
him. “Think them up and go get them. Never
stop with just one.”
Since then, Parenteau has done just that.
His successful music career has continued to
grow and prosper, and in 2013 he was nominated for his third Juno award, a monumental honour.
Once the students knew a little bit more
about Parenteau, he was ready to delve into
the other side of his story. He told the students about how he was bullied in his youth.
He explained the struggles of a glasses-wearing child of Metis heritage who was ridiculed
because he was different.
“If there is something they can single you
out for--if your hair is a little different, if your
skin colour is a little different, if you ride a
different bicycle than the next person--they
are going to single you out and try to attack
you,” he said.
He related a story to the crowd about an incident that happened during one of his shows
about four years ago when a young girl in the
audience came forward and bravely told her
tale.

Leask Lions celebrate 50 years in the community
On Saturday, November 16, the Leask Lions Club celebrated an impressive milestone in their club’s history. In an event held at their
club headquarters in Leask, in a building that they themselves were
responsible for constructing, past and present members of the organization joined with other community members to mark the occasion.
Following a pre-dinner social, the formal ceremonies began with an
entrance process of the head table, led by piper Dave Hjertaas. Once
everyone was seated, master of ceremonies Bob Hryniuk addressed
the crowd. “Tonight is like a celebration, a reunion, (a chance to) get
to know new people, and just have a fun time,” he said.
After the singing of O Canada and an invocation by Reverend Bev
Shapansky, those in attendance began making their way through the
buffet line. A pleasant dinner followed, with warm conversation filling the hall.
Following dinner, Bob Hryniuk again took the podium to begin with
the rest of the proceedings. A number of people in the audience were
introduced and applauded, including charter members of the club,
past members, as well as visiting members. Toasts were given to Lions International as well as to the partners.
A number of speakers were on the docket for the event, including
Jim Joanette, Reeve of the RM. “I want to salute the Lions,” Joanette said. “This community, I’m sure, has benefitted from having
the Lions ... Congratulations on your 50 years, and we look forward to
another 50 years.”
Scott Moe, MLA of Rosthern-Shellbrook, was also in attendance,
and spoke at the ceremony. “It’s truly an honour and a privilege to
be joining in the celebration this evening, and I bring greetings on
behalf of our Premier Brad Wall, as well as the government of Saskatchewan,” Moe said.
“One of the reasons that we have such a great quality of life in this
province, is because of the great quality of people in this province.
Many in attendance here this evening are men and women who
choose to donate their time and talents to give back to their communities in whatever way they can,” Moe said.
He went on to mention just a small portion of the countless projects
that the Leask Lions completed during their first 50 years. “Initiatives
such as the construction of this hall, the sports centre, the library, the
nursing home ... as well as upgrades to ball diamonds in town,” he
said. “That only scratches the surface of the great work that this club
has supported ... the list goes on and on and on.”
Derril Rogerson was the next to take the stage. Rogerson, a charter
member of the Leask Lions, has been with the club since day one, and
is still an active member in the organization. He brought with him
to the ceremony a copy of the minutes from the Lions’ first meeting.
“We had our first meeting, two days ago, 50 years back. November 14,
1963,” he said.

Leask Lions celebrate 50 years in the community
Continued from page 1
The first fundraiser that
the Lions took on was a
turkey shoot in December of 1963. “The money
raised from that turkey
shoot, we bought our first
project in town. We put a
PA system in the old skating rink,” Rogerson said.
The final speech of the
evening was presented by
Lions International Director Marvin Chambers. His
speech addressed many
issues and congratulated
a large number of people,
but perhaps the most compelling portion of his talk
came in the form of a story
that outlined just how farreaching the Lions Club
truly is.
He told of an event back
in 2005, when he was District Governor and went on
a tour of the eye bank facility in Saskatoon. “When
we were leaving there were
four District Governors
from Saskatchewan, and
we were standing there
with our red jackets on
having a visit,” he said.
The group was approached by a young man
who had been sitting there
waiting for them to exit the
elevator. The young man
asked if they were Lions.
“Well we sure are,” they
said.
The young man then
proceeded to shake each

by one individual in the
crowd. Lion Derril Rogerson was presented with an
award for 50 straight years
of perfect attendance with
the Leask Lions Club.
“I always say that when
you volunteer, you do it
because you want to, not
because you have to,” Rogerson said. “In our 50
years we’ve had a lot of
fun. We’ve had our ups
and downs, but we made it
through, and I’ve enjoyed

Four Saskatchewan men fined for illegal angling
Four Saskatchewan men were fined a total of $7,570
in Spiritwood Provincial Court last week after pleading
guilty to 12 charges under The Saskatchewan Fisheries
Regulations.
Cyril Brock of Saskatoon was convicted of angling
with too many lines, over-possession of fish and exceeding the daily limit. He was fined $3,720 and given
a three-year angling licence suspension.
William Tyndall of Chitek Lake was convicted of angling with too many lines and over-possession of fish.
He was fined $2,950 and given a one-year fishing prohibition.
Robert Weal of Chitek Lake was convicted of two
counts of angling with too many lines and was fined
$650.
Guy Denton of Wilkie was convicted of angling with
too many lines and fined $250.
The charges were laid as the result of a two-year covert investigation by Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Environment. The investigation was initiated by calls from
the public to the Chitek Lake Ministry of Environment
office.
“Excessive fishing can harm efforts to maintain game
fish populations,” Ministry of Environment Compliance
and Enforcement Director Ken Aube said. “We hope
that the penalties imposed by the courts in this case
will serve as a deterrent to those who consider abusing
our fisheries resources in the future.”

Community agencies sign violent risk assessment protocol
A step was taken last Friday in an attempt to abolish
school and neighbourhood violence from Prince Albert
and the surrounding communities. Leaders gathered in
a conference room at the Travelodge in Prince Albert in
order to sign a community protocol that will assist various community groups, and allow them to collaborate in
the name of violence prevention.
John Shultz, Superintendent of the Saskatchewan
Rivers Public School Division, was the first to speak at
the signing ceremony. “We are so pleased to be joined
today by our partner community agencies to sign the
community threat assessment and support protocol,”
he said. “This unique multi-agency protocol is guided
by the principal that violence prevention in schools
and in neighbourhoods is a community responsibility.
The protocol facilitates proactive sharing of information amongst agencies, allowing for the development of
strong intervention and support plans for our children,
youth and their families.”
Kevin Cameron, Executive Director of the Canadian
Centre for Threat Assessment and Trauma Response,
has been a driving force behind this initiative for a number of years. Following the school shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado, as well as the shooting in
Taber, Alberta in 1999, steps were taken to prevent these
tragedies from reoccurring.
A couple of years after these shootings, Cameron,
along with the RCMP Behavioural Sciences Unit, started
collaborating on violence risk assessment training. As
an individual who works with both threat assessment as
well as trauma response, Cameron is the ideal candidate
to investigate these situations both before and after they
occur. “One of the lessons that we learned ... is that most
of those perpetrators communicated on believable signs
and indicators prior to (the incident),” Cameron said.
He went on to add that oftentimes, there are warning signs that may indicate the threat of violence. This
could include anything from posts on the internet, verbal
threats, or warning signs embedded into a student’s assignment and submitted to a teacher.
“If a teacher sees, for instance, (violent) writings and
drawings,” Cameron said, “Those writings and drawings
do not cross a legal line ... In the protocol that’s called
“worrisome behaviors”. (They) are early indications that
maybe this kid is struggling.”
Within this protocol, a teacher will now be able to take
this information to the police, even though the child has
not yet committed a crime. “Sometimes we discover that
the kid who drew the story is the kid where the police
members were at their home last night because dad held
a gun to mom’s head,” Cameron said.
Cameron also stated that the sheer number of community agencies willing to participate in the signing will
prove to increase the level of success in violence prevention in the area. “(Without) legitimate and pure collaboration between all of the different agencies represented
in this room today, often the data was present ... but we
didn’t really find out about it until after the tragedy occurred,” he said.
“We know that students can’t learn unless they feel
safe,” commented Robert Bratvold, Director of Education for Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division.
“This community protocol--to asses and respond to risks
or threats of violence--demonstrates a sense of community. We are all in this together.”
“In the media, what usually happens is, in every case,
we find somebody who says, “Good kid, no history of
violence, can’t believe they did it, they must have just
snapped,’” Cameron said. “That’s usually just what gets
reported on day number one. We call that, actually, the
quote that kills ... Almost every case of high profile violence in this country could have been prevented if the
professionals would have known what we know now.”

OPINION

November 22, 2013
In plain sight
The most controversial story currently unfolding in the
world of sports is taking place down in Florida, though the
repercussions from this case could ripple far and wide, for
years and year to come.
The first inklings that something was wrong in Miami
surfaced at the end of October when Dolphins offensive
tackle Jonathan Martin suspiciously left the team. It
took a little while for the public to get an update on the
situation, but early in November we learned that Martin’s exodus had to do with allegations of bullying. Soon,
Richie Incognito, another offensive lineman on the team,
became the target of those allegations. Eventually, recorded
voice messages and transcripts
of texted conversations began to
emerge, ones that revealed vulgar, violent and racist remarks
that were sent from Incognito to
Martin.
Incognito was immediately
branded as a bigot and a bully,
and was suspended from the
team. But while everyone was
hoping for a cut and dry ending
JON
to this saga, details continued to
materialize that showed a rich
SVEC
tapestry of interwoven factors,
~
and with each passing day there
seemed to be more questions
Reporter
than answers.
On the surface this tale seems
to be extremely racially charged.
Incognito has admitted to using the n-word when addressing Martin, who is an African-American. Panelists
have held forums to address this issue, interviewing former and current players of all races, trying to get a sense
of race relations in today’s NFL.
These panels are disheartening to watch. It is disappointing, in 2013, to see the awkwardness that still exists
while discussing these issues, the fumbling over words,
and the anger that begins to roil when former players discuss past incidents of hatred and racism. It reminds us
that we still have a long way to go.
Observers might be mistaken, however, to chalk this
incident up as being solely racial. Amidst the racial slurs,
Incognito also mentioned violence towards Martin’s family, and threatened to commit extremely vulgar acts to
Martin himself.
Incognito, in an interview with Jay Glazier of Fox
Sports, claimed that the threats and vulgarity went both
ways. He also contended that there was no malice or hatred behind the texts, that he and Martin are in fact good
friends, and that this was simply the way that they communicated.
The real issue here, in my opinion, is the structure of the
modern day locker room. The dynamics that go on within
the confines of those often-thick walls are complex, and
there are many schools of thought as to what rules should
be enforced, and how.
Some say that societal norms are abandoned when one
walks over the threshold. After all, if one were to head out
onto the street and commit any of the permitted and encouraged acts that go on throughout the course of a football game, he or she would be arrested.
Others claim that playing in the NFL is a job like any
other, and players must adhere to the rules that are implemented at any other workplace.
It is an interesting debate that won’t be solved here,
thought I’m pretty sure that the answer lies somewhere
in the middle.
I will say that, having been both a player and a coach,
I am confident that the players themselves are responsible for controlling the day-to-day happenings of a locker
room. Coaches can step in when things get out of hand,
but even then it is usually the leaders on the team who
bring the issues forward.
Good teams have leaders that are able to put a stop to
excessive bullying or any other behavior that may upset
the pack, nipping it in the bud before it becomes a real
problem, and getting everyone re-focused on the task at
hand, which is winning the next game.

Futures Fund appeals to rural savers
As Telemiracle rolls around each year,
we are reminded of the generosity of rural Saskatchewan’s savers.
The Kinsmen’s fabulously successful
annual fundraiser has become more successful in recent years because of large
donors bequeathing hundreds of thousand dollars to the charity fundraiser.
Almost invariably, they are old farmers
or others from rural Saskatchewan who
lived frugally all their lives and viewed
the charitable foundation as the best way
to give back to future generations after
they were gone.
These people have been the backbone
of this province and thoughts of them
crosses one’s mind as Saskatchewan embarks on what might be its biggest savings project in our history.
The Saskatchewan Futures Fund was
unveiled last week. Its author, former
University of Saskatchewan President
Peter MacKinnon, described it as a “permanent intergenerational savings and
investment fund” that could convert “excess” one-time non-renewable natural
resource money into support for future
generations.
Conceptually,
there is actually little
new in what MacKinnon is proposing. Alberta has had a similar Heritage Fund

ideas.
MacKinnon’s proposal would set aside no more than 26
per cent of the provinces “excess” natural
resource revenue _ based on the average
of the previous five years _ in any given
year.
If natural resources that year did not
exceed the five-year average, there would
obviously be no money set aside. However, if we averaged $3 billion a year over
the previous five years and pulled down
$4 billion on one particularly good year
when oil, potash, natural gas, gold, uranium, were all doing well, we would have

a tidy $780 million for the Futures Fund
that year and the government would still
have an extra $220 million to play with.
In fact, MacKinnon estimated that had
we started this particular fund in 200304, we would have already had $12 million stashed away by the end of this fiscal
year in March. (However, it is worth noting that 2003-04 was actually the start of
the Saskatchewan boom that saw the current rapid rise in resource revenue.)
MacKinnon further suggests the fund
could be used to pay down provincial
debt _ the lasting legacy of the Grant
Devine government. The fund could also
be supplemented with stocks and bond
investments.
It all sounds rather good, but you might
be wondering what all this has to do with
the generation of rural Saskatchewan
savers that have so generously donated to
Telemiracle.
Well, it might actually speak to why
such a modern day Future funds will be
harder to implement than it seems.

growing up knowing no other way than to
get buy with less.
This trait is less common in each generation, as people demand more and more
for themselves and from the government.
This is also reflected in why we really
haven’t saved all that much in this time of
plenty when Saskatchewan’s public debt
has actually increased.
Yes, our revenues have increased at a
fantastic 77 per cent since that 2003-04
budget. But our spending has increased
87 per cent.
What should have been massive surplus budgets have really only been modest surpluses or sometimes even overall
deficits.
Unlike the Saskatchewan of the past,
people are dissatisfied with getting by
with less. Larger and larger wage demands from public servants, more government programs and demands for less
taxation keep coming from people feeling
increasingly more entitled to spend our
one-time resource revenue.

treatment that patients might need to have, but
can’t till doctor see patients.
Patients feeling that they’ve been forgotten, in
the long wait to see a doctor, especially if they’re
in a lot of pain!
One has to wonder! With all the doctors that
we have here in Shellbrook ... that they could
put in a rotation in place, and take turns to do a
shift in the hospital ER, so the patients wouldn’t
have to wait so long for a doctor to finish his day
at the office, to come to the ER.
And last but not least!
I feel sorry for the seniors who have worked
ten to fifteen years to raise money for the new
hospital, and also paying $300.00 extra on their
taxes toward the new hospital, so when they
need it they’d have a place to go!....
But ... to be told ... that their loved one is not a
priority... Therefore not important enough to be
on the list for the nursing home, so they’ll have
to go elsewhere, to Canwood or Big River, etc.
I would like to see the person/persons responsible for this fiasco here at PIHC here in Shellbrook, be it from Prince Albert or Shellbrook, to
step up and rectify this mess we have here. That

This would greatly be appreciated by the public here in Shellbrook and surrounding areas.

Trucks banking snow
Dear Editor:
I want to give a big boot to the drivers of the
Department of Highways trucks that go past my
place.
Every time I have to shovel the snowbank they
plow across the end of my driveway. I just get it
cleaned and the truck goes by again.
Surely it is not hard to see I have been out
there shovelling so I can get in and out of my
driveway.
I wonder if there are others with the same
problem and what can be done about it. I did
call head office in Prince Albert, but the lady
was no help.
Eileen Brennan,
Shellbrook.

Traffic Safety Takes Priority
One fatality is too many.
With the knowledge 184
people lost their lives on
our roads and highways last

needed to take action. The
safety of all Saskatchewan
people is paramount and
that is why our government
is immediately moving forward with more than half
of the recommendations included in a report from the
special committee on Traffic
Safety.
Our plan includes tougher
penalties for drinking and

The 12-year-old had experienced severe bullying on the
bus. Her classmates had held her down, spit on her, pulled
her hair, and punched her until she bruised. Even after all
that, she was afraid to come forward. It was not until her
mother noticed the bruises that they were able to put a stop
to the bullying.
“When you sit back and think about something like this
happening,” Parenteau said. “If you have a sister, or a little
brother, that could have been them. So this is not a laughing
matter. This is serious.”
Mixed within his anti-bullying message, Parenteau also
brought to light some of the problems facing today’s youth in
regards to communication. The two problems, he contended,
are somewhat related, as a large amount of bullying these
days is done online. “You’re not communicating like you used
to, you’re not speaking verbally like you used to,” he said.
Once his message was delivered, Parenteau joined his band
beside the stage, and the group went on to perform some classic and original songs that had students and staff clapping to
the beat.
“Bullying has really come to the forefront over the last few
years,” Parenteau said after the show. “Just seeing the headlines, and seeing some youth taking the final way out. When
I see that I say, ‘I’ve got to do something to try and help the
cause.’”
Parenteau agrees that injecting his personal experiences
into his presentation help bring the anti-bullying message
home. “The thing is that I’ve been bullied before, when I was
a kid,” he said. “I think that everyone on this planet ... if you
weren’t bullied, you know someone who is being bullied.”
When the entire presentation was complete, the uplifting
musical performance certainly proved to be an integral part
of the show. “(We want to) create some awareness, but also
leave them on a good note by having fun,” he said. “They kind
of go hand in hand, because it’s a feel good message. It’s a
universal language, music.”

Saskatchewan Now Requires Mandatory Asbestos
Reporting
With the health and safety
of Saskatchewan people in
mind, our government is
pleased to have recently proclaimed The Public Health
(Howard’s Law) Amendment Act which makes the
web-based Saskatchewan
Asbestos Registry mandatory for crown corporations,
school districts, health region facilities and provincial
government buildings. In
addition, there is a voluntary registry encouraging
building owners to post information about asbestos
containing material.
This registry would not
have been possible without
the passionate advocacy of
the late Howard Willems.
Diagnosed with cancer as a

away just over a year ago.
His legacy will now live on
through this mandatory registry which will work to improve the health, safety and

Job Growth Continues,
Unemployment Lowest In
Nation
Considering one of the
best ways to measure economic success is a person’s
ability to find work, the latest labour force data for
Saskatchewan is very encouraging. Overall, across
the province, employment
is up nearly 3 per cent over
last year with employment among Aboriginals
up nearly 10 per cent. Our
unemployment rate is 3.6
per cent and our youth unemployment rate is 6.3 per
cent – both are the lowest in
Canada. Not only are there
are record number of people
working (556,500), there
are regularly more than
13,000 available job postings at SaskJobs.ca. Having
the strongest job market in
Canada will certainly help
attract more skilled workers
but our government understands there is more work
to do to meet the demands
of a growing province. This
includes our commitment to
creating 1,000 new training
seats this year.

Trends in agriculture are interesting
At present, on the cropping side of the agricultural equation on the Canadian Prairies,
the trend is one which seems to be taking the
sector in the opposite direction of what everyone was focusing on just a few years ago.
Diversification was the word of the day in
the very recent past.
There was a recognition the traditional mix
of wheat, barley, and occasionally oats was
not a farm rotation which could generate the
returns a farm demanded.
Wheat markets were solid, but the upper
prices reached were not generating major
profits.
Barley was generally a livestock feed and
thus lower valued.
And oats, a static market which had evolved
to basically niche status.
The call went out far and wide to diversify
crops.
And Prairie farmers responded with coriander, caraway, pinto beans, chickpeas, lupins, fenugreek, borage and a list of others.
Most of the crops were shown to be able to
be grown here successfully, but the limited
market for most really did little

Giving up
On Friday, November 8th, we got the
first U.S.D.A World Agricultural Supply
and Demand Estimates (W.A.S.D.E.) report in two months. The expectation was
for higher corn and soybean yields and
overall production, but the numbers that
came out weren’t exactly as high as the
market had priced in, especially in corn
and soybeans.
Higher yields than estimated (160.4
bushels an acre for corn & 43 bushels an
acre for soybeans) but smaller harvested
acres led to a move higher in the markets.
Demand also was raised for both corn
and soybeans, including a 275-million
bushel uptick for corn and higher exports
and crush demand for soybeans in this
2013/14 marketing year. As such, ending stocks for the 2013/14 marketing year
came in below expectations, indicating
that there’s less of those grains available.
Finally, wheat was slightly lower initially
because the U.S.D.A. raised both U.S. and
world ending stocks.
With corn still near 3-year lows, it’s
been rumoured for quite some time that
there could be a decrease in the minimum
amount of corn required to produce ethanol in the US (the “ethanol mandate”)
which could come from the E.P.A. as early as this week. These two factors make
it entirely possible that U.S. farmers are
more inclined to switch some corn acres
out for wheat (could we see corn rotating
out in Canada as well? Very possible).
The biggest substitutions are likely
to take place outside the Corn Belt in
states such as North Dakota and Kansas
(Northern Plains region). Additionally,
good moisture events in these areas of
the Northern Plains have provided some
of the best winter wheat planting conditions in years.
Across the rest of the world, wheat conditions look pretty decent. The Western
Australian harvest is apparently moving
along well with good quality and good
yields reported while the condition of
the Argentinian wheat crop is improving. However, the USDA still downgraded
the Argentine wheat crop by one million
tonnes to 11 million tonnes total production this year (other estimates range from
8.8 million tonnes to 10.5 million tonnes).
Also, with 94% per cent of the grain
harvest done in the Ukraine as well, already 57 million tonnes have been taken
off, beating the previous record two years
ago in 2011 of 56 million tonnes.
Managed money (AKA hedge funds)
turned bearish on wheat at a record pace
last week cutting over 34,000 long contracts. Reasoning for the move includes
everything from a slowdown in export
sales (didn’t, like every Middle Eastern
country just buy a lot of wheat?), the
USDA downgrading China’s imports by 1
million tonnes to 8.5 million tonnes this
year, and the condition of winter wheat
planted in the Black Sea and U.S. looking
better than expected.
Ultimately, a bigger corn and soybean
harvest is making managed money fairly
leery on the grain complex overall and it’s
quite likely we’re starting to see wheat
give up a bit of its higher-than-normal
spread to corn in the near-term.

India is a country which loves its legumes,
lentils, chickpeas, peas and beans.
Canada is already a major exporter in the
legume sector, but it is clear moving forward there is room for major growth in acres
grown and tonnes exported.
We see the effects of some of that growth
potential already.
BroadGrain Commodities Inc. has invested
in a major expansion project at its pulse and

The trading company bought the plant
from Lakeside Global Grains Inc. in 2011
and has invested $2.9 million over the last
four months to double the plant’s storage and
handling capacity and make it more efficient.
Granted farmers plan their cropping intentions based predominantly on market signals
— high prices push farmers to plant more
acres — in the case of pulse crops, with their
ability to fixate nitrogen to reduce fertilizer
costs, and now to build a market for the future, legume crops need to be a consideration
for farmers moving forward.
Saskatchewan credit unions
accepting donations to
support relief for victims
The Canadian Red Cross
and Saskatchewan Credit
Unions announced on November 13 that effective immediately, cash donations
to help people devastated
by the typhoon in the Philippines will be accepted
at participating Saskatchewan credit unions until
December 13. All donations
made by Canadians will be
matched by the Government
of Canada until December 9.
“Humanitarian assistance
is urgently needed as more
than 4 million people in
the Philippines have been
affected by this super typhoon,” said Cindy Fuchs,
Provincial Director of the
Canadian Red Cross in Saskatchewan.
“The Red Cross remains
on high alert and continues
to help prepare communities in the storm’s path.”
Since Haiyan made landfall, the Red Cross has been
working to provide urgently
needed assistance in affected communities. This
includes carrying out search
and rescue operations, distributing food, and mobilizing items like blankets, jerry
cans, hygiene kits and sleeping mats.
“We have the deepest
sympathy for the people of
the Philippines who have
suffered this terrible devastation. The magnitude of
their loss is unimaginable,”
says Keith Nixon, CEO,
SaskCentral. “Credit unions
are more than willing to
support the Red Cross relief
efforts by collecting donations at branches throughout the province.”
“Canadians have consistently shown their compassion in times of crisis around
the world,” adds Fuchs. “We
hope the announcements by
the Government of Canada
and Saskatchewan Credit
Unions will motivate more
Canadians to support humanitarian relief efforts in
affected areas.”
Canadians wishing to help
those affected by this storm
are encouraged to make a
financial donation online at

Team Lawton gearing up for Olympic Trials
Local curlers Stefanie
Lawton and Marliese Kasner are about to get another shot at a lifelong goal.
The duo has been curling since they were about
10 years old, with their
first throws down the icy
surface taking place at the
Shellbrook rink. “It was
big in our family. My dad
was an avid curler, and my
mom as well. My mom did
the school curling program
in town,” commented Kasner.
As the daughters of Bob
and Linda Miller, their
pedigree ensured that they
would experience success
on the rink both early and
often. “The first year we
went into competitive play
in Juniors, we ended up
winning the provincials,”
Kasner said.
Stefanie, the elder sibling
by a year and a half, has
been the perennial skip for
their team, while Marliese,
in the early years, often
threw third.
The two have always
been teammates, save for
Marliese’s last two years of
Junior, when Stefanie was
too old to be eligible and
Marliese adopted the skipping duties.
Nowadays, Marliese is
the lead for Team Lawton,
a role she has held for the
last four years. The team
now has a veteran third in
Sherry Anderson.
The girls from Shellbrook
have been to two Olympic
Trials already. In 2005
they curled in Halifax and
finished third, and at the
2009 trials in Edmonton
they ended up fourth. The
two were joined at both trials by Sherri Singler, who is
still a member of the team.
While their first couple
attempts fell just short, the
team is feeling good about
their chances at a berth in
the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Marijuana bust in
RM of Canwood
On November 16, Big River RCMP were called to the residence of 26-year-old Marcia McMahon and 31-year-old
Quincy Watier in the RM of Canwood. Through the course of
investigation, members noted a quantity of marijuana inside
the residence. Both McMahon and Watier were subsequently
arrested.
A search was conducted of the residence, where 191 marijuana plants were located, along with 150 grams of hash and
30 grams of marijuana. The total street value of the haul was
approximately $4,500.
McMahon and Watier have been charged with production
of marijuana and possession of marijuana for the purpose of
trafficking. They are scheduled to appear in court in Big River
in January.

Lawton.
“We have a lot more experience now, and we’ve been
very consistent with our
play,” Kasner said.
They also feel that they
have improved as a team
thanks to the guidance of
their coach, veteran curler
Rick Folk. “He’s brought
a lot of knowledge to our
team and strategic ideas,”
Kasner said. “With Sherry
being third and coming in
on our team that way ...
we’re feeling pretty strong
going into the trials.”
Sherry Anderson was not
a member of Team Lawton
during the first two Olympic trials, but she has been
on that stage before as the
skip of her own team.
The team also decided
on a veteran presence for
their fifth spot. “We picked
Cori Morris, who used to be
Cori Bartel,” Kasner said.
“She went to the Olympics
in Vancouver with Cheryl
Bernard’s team as lead.
She’s brought a lot of experience to our team.”
The path to qualifying for
the Olympic trials is a three
year process in itself. The
foursome knew when they
formed that this would be
their ultimate goal, so they
strategically picked the
bonspiels that would put
them up against the best
competition, and give them
a chance at more qualifying
points.
One of the ways to earn a
bid to the trials is to be one
of the top teams in Canada in terms of points, but
Team Lawton took a different path this time around.
As the team was in the
top eight in the country
when it came time to select
the field for the Canada
Cup last year, they earned a
spot in that particular bonspiel, which carried with it
a chance for an automatic
bid to the Olympic Trials.
“We won the Canada Cup
last year in Moose Jaw,
and that got us our direct
bye,” Kasner said. “But
we would have had enough
points come spring to get
the spot (anyway).”
The team has also experienced some recent success
that should give them momentum heading onto the
big stage. Their most recent bonspiel was the Masters of Curling, which was
played in Abbotsford, BC.
The tournament included six of the same teams
that they’ll play at the trials, plus teams from nine
Olympic countries, including China, Japan, Korea
and Switzerland.
“We came out of our
pool. We beat Eve Muirhead, the world champ of
last year from Scotland,”
Kasner said. “We lost after
qualifying, so we were tied
for fifth. We were happy
with the performance. We
played Jennifer Jones in
that game and it was a really close game. We had one
bad end, and we learned
from our mistakes.”
The field at this year’s
trials should be full of familiar faces for the veteran
Lawton squad.
“We’ve
played against the competition for the last three, four
years,” Kasner said. “We
win some, we lose some.
We know who they are,
they’re no surprise to us, so
we’ll have a game plan set
for each one of them, and
go out there and try to execute.”
The sisters have already
experienced a large amount
of success on the curling
rink, so where would a trip
to the Olympics rank on the
list? “It definitely stacks up
on top,” Kasner said. “It
only happens every four
years, and to be an Olympian is a dream of all of
our teammates and many
athletes in this country. It
would mean the world to us
to be able to represent our
country at the Olympics.”
The trials will be held in
Winnipeg, and they will begin on December 1.
Elks pick up two more wins
against Dalmeny
The Shellbrook Elks added to their win
total with two more victories over the
weekend.
On Friday, November 15 the Elks travelled to Dalmeny for the first game of a
home-and-home series with the Fury.
Koltyn Fyfe of Dalmeny led off the scoring at the 12:00 mark of the first, but
Shellbrook answered back with an unassisted Brett Robillard goal.
After that it was all Shellbrook, as the
team registered six straight goals in the
second period of play. Lyndon Leard and
Evan Folden each had two in the period,
while Brock Fitch and Cory Rask netted
one a piece. Dalmeny would manage a
lone goal at the end of the second frame
to try and narrow the gap.
The move to the third didn’t slow the
Elks’ offensive onslaught, as they started
the last period of play with another four
straight goals. Lydon Leard put in another two, while Chris Thompson added one,
and Evan Folden scored his third of the
game. Dalmeny would again net a lateperiod goal, but the damage had already
been done. The final horn sounded with
the scoreboard showing an 11-3 Shellbrook win.
The two teams met the next night in
Shellbrook for the rematch. This time it
was the Elks who struck first with a Chris
Thompson goal. Dalmeny scored at the
7:15 mark of the first to tie the game, but
Brad Creary of the Elks put the home
team back on top before the first period
came to an end.
The lone goal in the second was scored
by Dalmeny’s Brody Foster, settling the
score at 2-2 going into the third.
Dalmeny took the lead at the 17:45
mark with a Kolten Fyfe goal, but Shellbrook responded quickly with two goals
in the next two minutes, scored by Chris
Thompson and Brett Robillard. Evan
Folden would add an insurance goal with
2:22 left, securing the 5-3 Elks win.
The next action for the Elks will be in
Rosthern on November 22, and their next
home game is on November 23 against the
Prairie Outlaws.

Closed Road
A section of 2nd Street West in Shellbrook remains closed following a gas line
break on October 31. Inclement weather slightly delayed the repairs, but crews
were eventually able to fix the workings underneath. As it currently stands, the
necessary repairs have been made and the dirt has been filled back in. “They
are just kind of letting the dirt settle and freeze before they put the top back
on,” commented Lyle Banda of the Town’s Public Works Committee. The road
should be opened up again sometime next week.

Trucking permits expanded for
twinned section of Highway 11
Shippers and consumers in Saskatchewan will benefit as longer semis are permitted to travel on the recently twinned segment of Highway 11 from north of Rosthern
to Prince Albert.
“When we completed the twinning of
Highway 11 it improved traffic safety, but it
also reinforced the route as a key economic corridor,” Prince Albert-Carlton MLA
Darryl Hickie said on behalf of Highways
and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris. “Longer trucks can now haul more
bulk goods such as groceries and other retail items on the newly twinned section of
Highway 11, which will provide cost savings
for shippers and foster competition, which
benefits consumers in the form of lower
prices.”
The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure provides permits that allow for
turnpike double long-combination vehicles
(LCVs) on twinned highways. These LCVs
consist of a truck towing two full-length
semi-trailers. The trucks can only travel on
four-lane highways in Canadian provinces
that allow them, which include Highway 16
from Saskatoon to Lloydminster, Highway
1 from the Manitoba border to the Alberta
border and now Highway 11 from Regina to
Prince Albert.
“With more than 60 companies permitted to operate long-combination vehicles
in the province, turnpike doubles have
been operating safely on Saskatchewan’s
twinned highways for many years,” Saskatchewan Trucking Association Executive
Director Al Rosseker said. “We are pleased
that the government added the newly
twinned stretch of Highway 11 so these long
trucks can travel the full distance between
the province’s three largest cities.”
Turnpike doubles increase cost-efficiency
and reduce carbon emissions by reducing
the amount of fuel needed. Each LCV uses
about one-third less fuel than two tractortrailers that would carry the same amount
of freight.
The government has invested a record
$3.7 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.

Whispering Pine Place celebrates
25th Anniversary
Whispering Pine Place,
Canwood is proud to have
reached such a milestone in
health care, 25 years of long
term care.
We celebrated this event
on Saturday, October 26th,
2013 with a supper/program
and dance. This event was
organized and hosted by the
Canwood and District Bus
Association Inc. Emcee for
the evening was Lorne Benson.
The supper was a veritable feast prepared by Dale
Schwehr, Margie Storey and
their capable kitchen crew.
A short program followed
the supper. Opening the
program was Jack Payne.
Jack was the chairperson
on the “Steering Committee” as well as the planning/
fundraising committee for
the building of Whispering
Pine Place. Highlights of
Jack’s very informative and
historical speech were:
• October 1982 - Canwood
Clinic Board completed a
‘Notice of Intent’ to build a
Nursing Home in Canwood.
• June 1983 - a meeting
with Social Services and
Continuing Care.
• October 1983 - a public
meeting was well attended
by general public and all
interested
organizations.
It was at this meeting the
Steering Committee was selected: Chairperson - Jack
Payne, Secretary - Irene
Millard, Vice-chair - Al
Moar, Finance Committee
- Ed Buhler, John Sturby,
Hilda Willoughby, Raymon
Wideen, Land Site Committee - Arne Peterson, Roland
Nordby, Leslie Boyle, Bob
Briggs; Feasibility/Building
Committee - Doris Widen,
Terry Lofstrom, Al Moar,
Arnold Thall.
The feasibility study found
that 88% indicated they
were in support and 76%
indicated they would financially support the building
of a Care Facility.
• May 1984 - with the help
of Lloyd Muller (MLA at the
time) arrangements were
made for a delegate to go to
Regina and present a brief
to the Honorable Graham
Taylor (Minister of Health at
the time).
• March 14th, 1986 - a
Public Meeting/potluck supper with Lloyd Miller and
Graham Taylor was held in
the Community Hall with
approximately 275 - 300
general public attending.
This was a good showing of
community support for a
Nursing Home in Canwood.
• April 1986 - Tomporowski Architectural Group was
hired.
• May 1986 - A letter was
received from the Honorable Graham Taylor granting the Village of Canwood a
30 bed Level 3 and 4 facility
in the fiscal year 1987/88.
From five possible sites the
present site was selected
and the sod turning ceremony was on October 23rd,
1987. Graham Construction
began building the same
month and Whispering Pine
Place was completed in June
of 1988. The budget was
$2,200,000.00, our share
was $300,000.00; furnishings $100,000.00 (noting
that a lot of the furnishings
were donated by individuals
and organizations.
• Ownership of the Home
was as follows: Village of
Canwood - 51%; RM of Can-
wood - 25%; Town of Shellbrook - 12%; RM of Shellbrook - 12%.
• The first residents were
admitted on August 29th,
1988. This also provided
the community with 30 jobs
(presently there are 50 - 60
people employed at the facility).
• The first Board of Directors- from the Village of
Canwood, Art Young, Marj
Nainar, Sam Biro, Terry Lofstrom, Bob Briggs (later);
from the RM of Canwood
- Irvin Amundson, Ronald
Peterson; from the Town of
Shellbrook, Harry Bielhartz;
from the RM of Shellbrook,
Ron Ferster.
• Money raising became
a community affair with
the communities involved;
Public auction with Myron
Schmalz, pancake breakfast with J.J. Cennon, ski-athon] $100,00/month club,
etc. Everyone pitched in
and helped in any way they
could.
It is gratifying to see that
25 years later the home operating successfully and
the volunteerism is still top
notch.
Second speaker of the
evening was Brenda Person
(W.P.P.’s) first Director of
Care. She spoke of her time
at the facility, as well as a
few amusing incidents pertaining to the opening and
the starting up of a new facility.
Norm Zimmer (the facility’s 2nd Administrator),
along with his wife Lisa attended from Edmonton.
Norm spoke, with fondness
of his time in Canwood and
at the facility - he too had a
few stories to share.
Scott Moe MLA for Rosthern/Shellbrook brought
greetings and also noted
that Lloyd Muller MLA at
the time of inception was
also in attendance at the celebration.
Paul Bourgeault of Investors Group brought greetings s well as a substantial
donation/community grant.
Paul was also the winner of
the 50/50 and very graciously donated it back to the fundraiser.
Team Scotia Bank staff
- Diana and Jason were on
hand to assist with the evenings activities and were an
invaluable asset to our committee and fundraiser.
We were also very fortunate to have many generous donations presented to
our Handi-Bus Fund from
Whispering Pine Place families and supporters.
Rounding off the program
was Pauline Cadieu. Pauline was one of the first staff
on shift when Whispering
Pine Place opened. She has
a unique aptitude for storytelling and had a few hilarious tales of the first few days
of operation and beyond,
thus bring the program to a
good close.
The evening ended with
all in attendance dancing
to the music of the ‘Happy
Wanderers’, visiting with
former staff and the Whispering Pine Place support
families and friends.
Great
job
everyone,
couldn’t have done it with
your!

Growing your own helmet for the game
by Jackie Bantle
Every year in Saskatchewan there is a strange
phenomenon that occurs
throughout the growing
season known as the Evanescere Citrullus linatus.
On some of the hottest days
of the summer and fall,
families gather at the local
grocery store to purchase
a plump, refreshing watermelon (Citrullus linatus),
only to find the bins empty.
Meanwhile in an urban centre located in the southern
part of the province and
known for its ‘pile of bones’
in the late 1800’s, 30,000+
humans gather to worship
green clothed men running around a grassy field
chasing a brown, pointy
egg-shaped object.
Most
of these 30,000+ spectators
are also dressed in green
colored clothes including
green colored head coverings. Alas!, the mystery
of the mass evanescere (=
Latin for ‘to vanish’) of watermelon is uncovered: the
Citrullus linatus are sitting
on the heads of Roughrider
fans all over the province.
So instead of contributing to a province-wide watermelon shortage (or conversely to assure yourself
of a supply), why not grow
your own watermelon next
summer? First, start with
a cultivar that will mature
during our growing season.
Watermelon loves hot temperatures and sun. When
searching for seed, look
for cultivars that will mature in at least 75-80 days.
Some of the cultivars that
have performed well in the
University of Saskatchewan
Vegetable research program
include; ‘Delta’ and ‘Yellow Baby’ (Norseco Seeds),
‘Lantha’ and ‘Vista’ (Vesey’s
Seeds), ‘Sweet Favorite’ (Dominion Seeds) and ‘Redlicious’.
Watermelons require a
long growing season and
must be started indoors as
transplants.
Vine crops
usually do not like to have
their roots disturbed and
watermelon is no exception
to the rule. Start seedlings
indoors approximately 2-3
weeks before transplanting
out in Jiffy 7 peat pots. Cover the peat pots with a clear
plastic. Do not water peat
pots until seeds have germinated: overly wet peat pots
will cause watermelon seeds
to rot. Once seedlings have
emerged, uncover the peat
pellets and grow in a warm,
Red Cross offers tips to
help prevent bullying
During Bullying Awareness Week, the Canadian Red Cross is releasing tips to students,
parents and bystanders on how to stand up to
bullying.
“Bullying happens everywhere students
live, study and play,” said Norm Jakubowski,
Manager of Education for the Canadian Red
Cross. “These tips are a good first step in creating awareness about what to do if someone
experiences bullying.”
As the province’s leading provider of bullying prevention education, the Red Cross
reached over 25,000 students last year in
Saskatchewan with its bullying prevention
education program, Beyond the Hurt.
“We do great work with students, but we’re
only able to get to about one in six students,”
said Jakubowski. “The only way to change
our culture is by reaching everyone with ongoing education.”
Jakubowski says one way that people can
help is by purchasing a ticket in the Campaign for Kids Raffle before December 18 at
redcross.ca/campaignforkids.
“All proceeds from the raffle go straight to
our program,” Jakubowski said. “A $20 ticket
pays to educate one student, and people get
a chance to win up to $50,000 in cash just
before the holidays, so it’s a great time to buy
a ticket and teach a student how to stand up
to bullying.”
The Red Cross is also reminding people
that there is a variety of information about
bullying on its website at redcross.ca.
sunny location.
To warm up the soil, cover
the soil where the watermelon seedlings will be planted
with clear or green IRT
(infra-red transmitting, aka
solar mulch) plastic mulch a
week or more before you intend to plant. Mulch may be
available locally from some
garden centres or through
mail-order companies. Besides heating up the soil, the
other main benefits to using
mulch is to prevent weed
growth and maintain higher
soil moisture.
For ease of irrigation,
place a drip tube or weeping hose under the plastic
mulch. Secure the edges of
the plastic mulch with soil.
Cut holes in the plastic and
transplant the watermelon
seedlings into the soil after
all danger of overnight frost
is past (3rd or 4th week in
May). Cover the transplanted seedlings with either a
crop cover or clear perfo-
rated plastic tunnels (see
note above for mulch supplies). Secure all edges with
soil. As soon as watermelon
plants start to bloom (usually mid to late June), uncover
plants to allow bees and insects to pollinate flowers.
Crop covers can be replaced
after fruit set to promote
warm growing conditions.
In a typical year, you will
have ripe watermelon by
the end of August/ beginning of September.
The
mature watermelon should
produce a hollow ‘thump’
when tapped. When picking
your first watermelon out
of the patch, pick it close to
‘game day’. That way, if the
watermelon isn’t quite ripe
for eating, you can always
join the party and wear your
very own, locally grown
Roughrider ‘helmet’.
Bantle is a horticulturist
in the Dept. of Plant Sciences at the University of
Saskatchewan.

GOOD NEWS
~
Have you seen any Angels lately?
Dave Whalley D.L.M. ®
Knox United Church
As we approach the Christmas season, we will be seeing many
images of angels on our T.V.’s, in our newspapers and magazines.
A few days ago, while I was talking to a person on the street, I was
asked if I believed in angels. That was a good question, so I decided to do a bit of research on the topic.
The word angel has its roots in the Greek word, “angelo”, which
simply means, “messenger”. The word angel is commonly used to
describe someone who delivers a Godly message to another person. Some of the great religions of the world believe angels are
messengers from the Spirit that deliver messages of truth to assist our human race. The traditional definition is that angels are
supernatural beings who act as messengers between God and the
Human Race. But the message could be brought by another person or received as an inner message from the Holy Spirit.
Angels, or spirit beings, are found in many cultures in our
world. Angels are in the teachings of three religions that I have
some knowledge of; Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.. Benevolent spirit beings, called by different names, can be found in other
religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. “Divine helpers” are
included in historical writings of the Greek, Egyptian, Persian,
and Babylonian cultures. To me, it is interesting to note that angels have been mentioned through out all recorded history, giving
credence to their existence.
No one knows what angels really look like. Biblical references
refer more to their effect on the persons they are talking to. Quite
often the angel appears and says, “Be not afraid…..” The physical
appearance of angels could be very frightening, but the message
is brought from God for a reason. Historically, angels are neither
men nor women and there is no real description given for them.
They were given wings by artists as early as 400 A.D. but this
practice did not become popular until the Renaissance Period,
which began in the 14th century.
Angels have had a very close relationship with people throughout history. It is probably a closer relationship than we might
imagine, especially when we examine the Biblical descriptions
and images of angels, as well as personal experiences we have
been told, and those experienced in our own lives. Today, many
people seek angels to ask for protection and also to intervene during times of personal crisis.
This now begs the question, do I believe in angels? My answer
is yes. I have never “seen” an angel in its physical shape but I have
received messages many times in my life from a relative, a friend,
and even a stranger that I believe were from God. When I have
listened to their words, I have received a solution to a problem I
had been trying to solve. Quite often I wanted to go in a different direction, and when I listened and took their advice, everything worked out well. There have been times when I didn’t listen
to these “angels” and the results were less than successful. God
always gives us choices and presents them to us in many ways.
There have been times in my life when I have had a very strong
urge to do something challenging and positive. When I followed
those urges it turned out well. There were also times when I decided not to follow my inner feelings and God only knows what
opportunities I have missed in my life.
I firmly believe that God speaks to us through our thoughts,
through other people and through our environment. God gives us
choices in our lives. We can choose a faith-filled life, full of peace,
hope, love and joy or not. The acronym that I use frequently for
God is; Good Orderly Direction. God is always with us. We can
choose to accept and receive God into our lives or not. God communicates with us in many ways and I believe that God sometimes uses angels to be the messenger of the Creator. Keep your
eyes, and hearts open to their presence and you just might “see” or
“hear from” one this coming Christmas season!
In closing, I want to thank the individual that asked me; “Do
I believe in angels?” Could we all be angels of our Creator, living
here and now? Yes, I believe in angels and I also believe that angels are involved in random acts of kindness. I have witnessed so
many random acts of kindness that I know we have many angels
present in our community working and living and doing God’s
work.

Green between the lines - Riders stamp ticket to Grey Cup
The Saskatchewan Roughriders put forth a
commanding performance in the Western Final on November 17.
The Riders’ offensive gameplan was clear
from the outset. They came into the game
looking to take advantage of the injuries
sustained to the Calgary defensive line, and
planned a heavy dosage of runs up the gut.
One could guess at this strategy when seeing the amount of carries given to backup
tailback Jock Sanders in an attempt to keep
Kory Sheets fresh. Both backs dug in behind
a dominant performance by the Roughriders’
offensive line, who double-and-chipped their
way down the field on numerous occasions,
moving bodies along the way.
There was nothing tricky about the Riders’
run scheme. They called the same play over
and over again, tweaked slightly by the presence or absence of tight ends, and the addition
or subtraction of receivers to the box to aid in
the blocking. Though the inside zone scheme
was consistent, Sheets was still able to find
running room in different places. His first few
big gains were made by stretching the play
all the way around the play side, while later
he gained yards by cutting the ball back, and
other times he simply took it right up through
the heart of the Stampeders defense.
The Riders’ defense was geared up for this
game as well, hustling to the ball and reading plays well in order to disrupt the Calgary
offense. Both of these qualities were evident
in the interception by defensive lineman Jer-
main McElveen on the first drive of the game.
The Stamps tried a middle screen, a play that
only works if the defensive tackles are fooled
and pursue upfield. But the entire Riders line
stayed disciplined on the play, reading the
turnover battle by a 6-1 margin, a telling indicator in the outcome of most football games.
Calgary led the scoring with a Rene Peredes
field goal, but the Riders answered right back
with a touchdown drive of their own, capped
blocks and dropping into the passing lanes.
McElveen’s takeaway was the first of many
on the afternoon for the Roughriders. Defensive back Terrell Maze registered an interception of his own on the day, and fumbles were
recovered by defenders wearing green on four
other occasions. In total, the Riders won the
by a Durant to Bagg touchdown pass. Many
Riders helped carry the ball down the field,
but the star of the drive was the offensive
line, who opened up running lanes and gave
Durant ample time to make his reads. The
Stamps tacked on another field goal before the
first quarter ended.
Chris Getzlaf caught the first touchdown
of the second quarter from the number three
spot in a quads formation. He banged his
route in and made the play just under the
goalpost.
The Riders added a single before Durant
completed his next touchdown pass, this one
going to Weston Dressler. Durant floated the
pass outside of Dressler as he raced down the
seam, giving his receiver enough time to adjust to the ball. The extra point made it 22-6
for the Riders, a score that would hold until
halftime.
Drew Tate replaced Kevin Glenn for the
second half of the game, a move that paid off
early in the third with a Tate touchdown pass
to Joe West. The Calgary receiver found himself wide open on the backside of a bunch formation due to a bust in the Riders’ coverage.
It would prove to be the only scoring play of
the third.
The Riders were able to add to their lead in
the fourth, mostly due to the continued dominance of their offensive line and the consistent
running of their backs. They were also able to
hold the Stamps off the board with some stellar defensive play. By the end of the game the
Riders had earned a 35-13 win, and a berth in
the Grey Cup.
Thus the Riders will get a chance to play in
front of their home crowd for the 101st Grey
Cup, though the surging Hamilton Tiger-Cats
hope to spoil the party in Regina on November 24.
Go Riders Go! Let’s bring home the Grey Cup!

Staying safe on frozen lakes
Anglers, skaters and outdoor enthusiasts often take to the
great outdoors when lakes and other bodies of water freeze.
But even after days of below-freezing temperatures, lakes
may not be solid, increasing the risk that revelers will fall
through the ice, possibly resulting in drowning or
hypothermia. As a result, it is imperative that safety
precautions be taken when spending time on frozen
lakes.
Though it can be fun to skate or fish on a frozen
lake, ice is never safe and it’s always in one’s best
interest to treat ice with caution.
Ice strength depends on various factors, including daily temperature, water depth, water chemistry,
currents, and distribution of the load on the ice. It
is impossible to judge the thickness of the ice by
appearance alone. Your best bet is to proceed with
caution and follow these tips for survival.
* Be prepared for any scenario. Prepare for the
possibility of a plunge. Carry a long metal or metaltipped wood pole, called a spud bar, which can
be used to test the strength of areas of ice you are
unsure about. The bar also can be used as a walking
stick. Carry safety spikes to provide traction if you
fall through and need to climb up onto the ice.
* Avoid crossing frozen bodies of water in a single
file, as it may stress the ice. Also, never venture out alone.
Always go with a partner or alert someone to your whereabouts.
* Always wear a life jacket. Life jackets act as flotation
devices until you can get to safety.
* Do not take a vehicle onto the ice. Sixty-eight percent of
the 117 ice fatalities that occurred in Minnesota in the last
40 years involved a vehicle. A car or light truck needs 8 to
12 inches of clear ice to be safe.
* Be aware of cracks or fissures in the ice. Be extremely
cautious crossing ice near river mouths, points of land,
islands, and springs. Currents can cause ice to be thinner
in these areas.
* Carry a safety line. Such lines can be thrown to someone who has fallen through the ice. This may be the best
method of pulling someone to safety.
* Remain calm if you fall through the ice. Avoid
tthrashing, which can use up energy and body heat.
T
Try to keep your head and face above the water.
The body will react to the plunge by going into
““cold shock,” a condition characterized by hyp
perventilation, involuntary gasping and internal
rresponses including hypertension (high blood presssure) and changes in pulse rate. You do have time
tto get out. Many people can last two to five minutes
iin cold water before strength and coordination are
ccompromised.
Try to normalize your breathing to ensure you get
eenough oxygen to react and get to safety. Concenttrate on breathing slowly and steadily. Kick your
ffeet and pull yourself out of the water at the stronggest edge of the ice. Try to roll up onto the ice, stayiing flat to distribute your body weight. Roll yourself
aaway from the hole into which you fell and remain
oon your hands and knees until you crawl several
ffeet away. Only then should you stand up and walk
to safety to get dry and warm.
Spending time on a frozen lake can be fun, but it’s also
risky. Knowing how to react in an emergency situation may
just save a life. TF13C785
