Bantam Rangers win Western Fastpitch Championship
Thanks to a seventh-inning rally that saw their bats
spring to life and bring in five runs, the Bantam Shellbrook Rangers are now the Western Canadian Fastpitch Champions.
The 7-5 come-from-behind victory over the British
Columbia-based 100 Mile N Hour team came this past
weekend, at a six-team tournament played in St. Albert, Alta. from July 29 to Aug. 1. And Rangers coach
Duane Storey attributes the win to solid pitching,
strong defensive play, and consistent hitting that only
got better as the tournament went on.
Included in the tournament were two teams each
from Manitoba and B.C., and one team each from Alberta and Saskatchewan. The teams played five round
robin matches, and after these matches the Rangers
found themselves in second place.
In the subsequent one-two game, the Rangers fell
at the hands of 100 Mile N Hour, suffering a crushing 11-4 defeat. But the team was able to bounce back
in the page playoffs the next day, topping Surrey, B.C.
10-1 to earn its spot in the finals, and a chance for redemption against 100 Mile N Hour.
At first, it didn’t seem like redemption was in the
cards, as the Rangers’ opponents held a 5-2 lead heading into the top of the seventh. Thanks to some clutch
hitting, however, the team was able to snatch victory
from the jaws of defeat.

Derek Vaagen
VAAGEN - With devastated hearts we announce
the passing of Derek Garfield Vaagen, 37 of Shell
Lake, Sk. Derek passed
away on Wednesday, May
25, 2016.
The funeral service for
Derek was held on Thursday, June 2nd, 2016 at
2:00 pm from the Lion’s
Hall in Shell Lake, SK.
Derek was born on August 14, 1978 in Edmonton Alta. Derek attended
and graduated from Shell
Lake School, achieving
his grade 12 in 1996 at the
young age of 17.
After a year of various
jobs, Derek found his passion for operating heavy
equipment. In Sask. he
twinned north of Saskatoon, worked on the #1
at Gull Lake, and turned
20 building highway 20
near Humboldt. One of his
proudest moments came
in Alberta when he was
handed the keys to a Komatsu 475 Dozer, the second
largest dozer in the world.
Derek enjoyed sports,
whether
watching
or
partaking, and he loved
spending time with his
family playing cards,
board games or just talking about machines at
work where he also trained
his younger brothers (he
was very proud of them).
He enjoyed building models and then advanced to
rebuilding his own vehicles.
He easily made many
friends and buddies from
coast to coast in Canada.
And any who took the time
to know him will never
forget him. He was a loyal
friend to many.
Derek is survived by
his parents Ellis and Carol Vaagen, his brothers
Shaun, and Brian (Stacey)
and 2 nieces he adored
NovaLeigh and Aveah. His
maternal
grandmother
Violet Kison, his uncle
Dale Kison, aunt Jeanette
Petryshyn nee Kison and
his uncle, Russ Petryshyn.
Aunts Jean Berg, Helen
NcCorchuk nee Berg, Cora
Berg (nee Walker) as well
as numerous cousins.

a Christian home?” They all
raised their hands. “How
many of you grew up in a
Bible-centered church?” All
hands stayed up. Shaking
his head in disbelief, Jethani
said, “You’ve all spent eighteen or twenty years in the
church. You’ve been taught
the Bible from the time you
could crawl, and you attend
Christian colleges, but not
one of you gave the right answer. Not one of you said that
in the midst of your sin God
still loves you.”
Jethani concluded: “I did
not blame the students for
their failure. Somewhere in
their spiritual formation they
were taught, either explicitly
or implicitly, that what mattered was not God’s love for
them, but how much they
could accomplish for Him.
Even when we mess up at
times our Father still loves us.
Maybe you can identify with
the River of Disappointment.
May you be open to the nudges of the Holy Spirit to direct
you to the right path and
amidst your disappointments
know the love of the Father.
Because of Him,

River of
Disappointment
Alexander Mackenzie was
an early fur trader and explorer, he led a daring expedition
across Canada to the Pacific
Ocean. His incredible journey
was completed in 1793. Mackenzie was determined to succeed, for an earlier attempt in
1789 had ended in failure. His
crew of 12 explorers in three
canoes had set out from Lake
Athabasca in an effort to find
a water route to the Pacific.
The valiant group followed a
mighty river (now named the
Mackenzie) with high hopes,
paddling furiously amid great
danger. Unfortunately, it
didn’t empty into the Pacific
but into the Arctic Ocean. In
his diary, Mackenzie called
it the “River of Disappointment.”
Preacher Skye Jethani relates a story about holding
a series of meetings with
college-aged students. The
topics ranged across the spectrum—doctrine, hell, dating—but each conversation
had three rules: be honest,
be gracious, and be present.
On one night the students

they struggled with a variety

agreed on one thing: God was
extremely disappointed with
them. One student said, “My

Oilers ready to rise up
The team that the Great One built, the Edmonton Oilers, is trying to get rid of its laughingstock label. This has to be the year, doesn’t
it? Ten consecutive years out of the playoffs,
four No. 1 overall draft picks in a six-year span
and still the Oilers are lousy, still mocked
around the National Hockey League. The latest
campaign? Dead last in the Western Conference and second-last overall, thanks only to the
ineptness of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Outside the Alberta capital, the consensus
among hockey fans seems to be the Oilers have
wasted their No. 1 overall draft luxuries — Taylor Hall in 2010, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in 2011,
Nail Yakupov in 2012 and then the cherry on
top, the latest ‘generational player,’ Connor McDavid in 2015. Is it possible the Oilers can continue to lose with those kind of riches?
In Edmonton, the feeling is no. The losing
will end. This year.
General manager Peter Chiarelli is trying to
do his part. Chiarelli has had a busy
summer, signing rugged winger Milan Lucic
as a free agent, trading away Hall and acquiring defenceman Adam Larsson — partially
filling one of Edmonton’s most serious needs
— and drafting flashy Finnish forward Jesse
Puljujarvi at No. 4, when he was the consensus
third-best player in the draft. The Oilers may
also have nailed another winner in this year’s
draft by getting hometown boy Tyler Benson,
whose draft stock fell
due to an injury-prone
WHL season in Vancouver.
The thinking around
Edmonton is that the
Oilers’ young players
are ready to jell, led by
McDavid ,who missed
BRUCE
half his rookie season
PENTON
due to a shoulder injury yet still managed
~
to pile up the third-best
points-per-game stat
in the league — 1.07, to trail only Patrick Kane
and Jamie Benn. A full season of a more experienced McDavid, with protection from Lucic,
should result in some astronomical scoring
stats. And a few more Oilers’ victories. Overall,
the Oilers’ arrow is pointing up after a decent
summer: Hall is the only significant departure,
while Larsson, Lucic and Puljujarvi are significant additions. McDavid’s play will raise the
performance of those around him, just as the
Great Gretzky back in the 1980s helped made
superstars of Messier, Kurri, Anderson, Coffey,
et al. The talent potential is there and it’s not too
farfetched to believe it’s ready to explode.
Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald:
“Vince Wilfork appears in the ESPN the Magazine’s Body issue. Wilfork’s picture is on pages
19, 20, 21, 22 and 23.”
RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The city council in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, discovered
two employees had been for collecting pay for
years without working. ‘That’s a bad thing?’
asked Randy Moss.
Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, after a foot
washed up on the Olympic beach volleyball
venue in Rio de Janeiro: “And if that wasn’t bad
enough, the foot tested positive for steroids.”
Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Gisele forcing Tom Brady to get part-time job during his
suspension.”
Brad Dickson again, on all the big-name athletes bailing on the Rio Olympics: “It’s starting
to feel like a Pro Bowl with mosquitoes.”
Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle:
“Tom Brady lost his court appeal to have his
suspension lifted, and he struck out trying to
recruit Kevin Durant to the Celtics. This explains Brady’s new ‘Born to Lose’ tattoo.”
Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Bartolo
Colon looks like the first runner-up in a Fred
Flintstone lookalike contest.”
RJ Currie again: “Women’s roller derby is
reportedly growing in popularity in Saskatchewan. And why not? Unlike watching the
Shellbrook Chronicle 15
Roughriders, you can enjoy seeing a team going
in circles.”
Late-night funnyman Jimmy Fallon of NBC:
“A 94-year-old man from Indiana just became
the oldest person to get a six degree black belt
in taekwondo. While nobody has the heart to
tell him the wooden board he chopped through
was just a graham cracker.”
Headline at TheOnion.com: “Tim Duncan:
An NBA Legend Rides Into The Sunset At A
Safe And Prudent Speed”
Another one from Alex Kaseberg: “A Chicago
team doctor prescribed eating potato chips to
ward off persistent hand cramps for Cubs pitcher Jason Hammel. I’m going to guess ’ Pablo
Sandoval never suffered from hand cramps.”
Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Omaha, Neb.,
has landed the U.S. Olympic curling trials in
2017. Officials say the event could pump as
much as another $327 into the local economy.”
Brad Dickson again: “The new Kevin Durant
shoes cost $150. His last pair sold for $180. The
only person who can afford Kevin Durant shoes
is Kevin Durant.”
Scott Ostler again, referring to the 2020
Summer Olympics in Tokyo: “Rory McIlroy
has already declined to participate, citing fear
of Godzilla.”

Silverfins enjoying successful summer of swimming
For the Shellbrook Silverfins Swim Club, it would
be safe to say that this summer has been going rather
swimmingly thus far.
The swim club, which includes 28 young swimmers
ranging in ages from seven to 13, was especially busy
in July, as it competed in three separate swim meets in
Biggar, Watrous, and Humboldt.
Team manager Brenna Hamel, who has been with
the team for two years and just took over the head
coaching position this summer, says she was particularly proud of how the kids swam at the Biggar meet
on July 16.
All told, 12 swimmers competed at this meet, and
Hamel says that most of them attained personal bests.
“They all swam very well. We had huge successes in
terms of crushing last year’s seed times. There were 10
to 15 second personal bests from a lot of the athletes,”
she said.
Particularly strong performances came from Madeline Grenier and Carson Rinas, who were both bronze
medalists in their respective age groups based on their
overall results across the events they competed in.
This success carried over to the next day’s swim
meet in Watrous, at which 10 swimmers made appearances. But it was at the semi-finals in Humboldt on
July 23 that the young swimmers really shone.
At that meet, which was a pre-requisite and a qualifier for the upcoming provincial finals, nine swimmers
were in attendance to compete.
Hamel explains that all of the swimmers either qualified for the finals, or qualified to be alternates should
another swimmer dropout.
“That was a huge success for our team. I don’t think
we’ve ever had that many swimmers at finals before,”
she said.
Standouts on the day included The girls’ 200-metre relay team of Hunter Tremblay, Madeline Grenier,
Aimee Grenier, and Paige Rolles, who claimed first in
their age group by a razor-thin margin of two one hundredths of a second.
Due in part to the club’s impressive results throughout July, Aimee and Madeline Grenier, and Cole Tanchuk were all able to qualify to compete in the Saskatchewan Summer Games, which were hosted by
Back: Caleb Smart, Teegan Fuller, Lochlan Rinas, and Hunter Tremblay. Front: Paige Rolles,
Carson Rinas, Cole Tanchuk, Aimee Grenier, Madeline Grenier, and Ashton Tanchuk.
Estevan from July 24 to 30. Though, due to an injury,
Cole was forced to drop out of competition.
With all these competitions out of the way, however,
the Shellbrook Silverfins are now eagerly preparing
for the provincial finals, which are being held in Regina on Aug. 6 and 7.
“We’re hoping for some personal bests for the kids at
finals. It’s an individual sport, and being a small swim
club, and a summer swim team, we have to really focus on beating ourselves, as opposed to beating the
people we’re swimming against,” said Hamel.
“It’s a good experience for them to meet other swim-
mers in the province, because they are among the best
summer swimmers in the province.”
Competitive swimming is not for the faint of heart.
Hamel says that the club practices up to three times
a week to help the kids perfect their swimming technique and their breath control, and also to build up
their endurance for sprints and longer distance swims.
But though Hamel says the coaches don’t go easy on
the young swimmers, she adds that the most important thing is to make sure that there’s a fun, friendly,
and inclusive environment for all swimmers who are
part of the club.

St. Eugene Mission
The picturesque 13th hole at St. Eugene Mission is the course’s signature hole,
a 182-yard par-3 that features a vertical drop of about 80 feet.
The original barn that was a key part of the original farm on which the St. Eugene Golf-Resort-Casino now sits is more than 100 years old.
Bruce Penton
Standing on the 13th tee
of the golf course at St. Eugene Mission Golf-ResortCasino, with the blue-green
water of the St. Mary River
rushing to our left, the green
184 yards away in front of
us and about 80 feet below
where we stand, it’s hard to
imagine a more perfect setting for someone who loves
golf.
The ball seemed to stay in
the air forever before it landed softly on the large green,
about 65 feet from the hole,
and even a three-putt bogey
didn’t diminish the joy of
playing the signature hole
of one of the prettiest golf
courses in Western Canada.
Located just a five-minute
drive north of Cranbrook,
B.C., and in the midst of six
other championship courses, St. Eugene Mission offers
not only a fabulous course
suited to players of all skill
levels, but visitors can stay
in a 125-room hotel — 25 of
which are located in the renovated mission’s old residential school — and while away
some evening hours in a
modern, smoke-free casino
offering 240 slot machines,
a variety of table games and
electronic blackjack and eroulette. And if you love history, this place is for you.
Max Sherwood, the amiable head golf professional
at St. Eugene Mission, says
the resort was the dream of
Chief Sophie Pierre and has
made giant strides since the
golf course opened for play
in 2000. “It’s the result of a
vision from the St. Mary’s
(First Nations) Band,” said
Sherwood.
Other residential schools
in Canada have been razed,
but the one at St. Eugene has
been saved, and improved
upon. The huge working
barn that was the centrepiece of a farm on which
the golf course sits has been
maintained, with the lower
level used as the pro shop
and restaurant. The church,
whose steeple stands tall in
the valley, is vintage 1880.
The residential school,
bustling with First Nations students from the
East and West Kooteneys
until it closed in 1960, sat
vacant until 1990, at which
time “talk about what
could be done” started to
be discussed by elders, said
Sherwood. Thanks to government grants, and Chief
Pierre’s vision, work began
on construction of what is
now one of Western Canada’s premier resorts.
But what if you don’t like
to play golf, or gamble? What
can St. Eugene Mission offer? Plenty, and for people
of all ages, too, which means
it’s perfect for families:
Whitewater rafting, fly fishing, hiking, helicopter tours,
horseback riding, a spa. The
resort also has a couple of
fabulous restaurants and
my dinner selection of beef
stroganoff in the St. Eugene
Smokehouse restaurant was
sublime.
Sherwood said building a
125-room lodge might have
been less expensive than
renovating the residential
school, but the elders “wanted to keep the mission building as real as possible.”
While the resort is open
12 months a year, it’s during
the summer when the place
is hopping with visitors.
They come, said Sherwood,
from all over Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. If Cranbrook could
ever convince WestJet to
provide daily air service,
“we’d see a lot more people
from all over Canada,” he
said.
While golf and the casino
— bus tours regularly bring
gamblers to the resort — are
the big draws, St. Eugene
Mission Golf-Resort-Casino
is also a hotbed for weddings. A huge air-conditioned tent on the grounds
can handle up to 240 guests,
and 40 couples said ‘I do” at
the resort during 2015.
St. Eugene has joined the
six other courses in the immediate vicinity to offer a
variety of economical playand-stay packages, with
perks such as shuttle services to various courses offered to groups. “We make
all the arrangements,” said
Sherwood. “We’ll set up the
tee times and the accommodation and provide one bill
at the end.”
Most of the courses in the
Kimberley-Cranbrook area
are relatively new, with St.
Eugene Mission, Wildstone,
Max Sherwood, head professional at the St. Eugene
Golf Course, stands in front of the former residential school, which has been converted into 25 comfortable rooms and a couple of restaurants.
Wildlife is abundant around the St. Eugene Mission golf course.
Shadow Mountain and
Bootleg Gap joining three
old standards — Kimberley
Golf Club, Trickle Creek in
Kimberley, and Cranbrook
Golf Club.
There’s another attrac-
tion to the Cranbook area,
of course, and that’s the
gorgeous scenery provided
by the Purcell and Rocky
Mountain ranges. Simply
gazing around can be a treat
in itself.

Local tarantula owner fights fear with facts
Scott Manly shows off one of his many tarantulas.
Of all the millions of creatures in the
animal kingdom, few are as fear inducing as spiders and tarantulas. Indeed, when it comes to making people
panic or shudder with revulsion, these
tiny animals punch well above their
weight class.
For those who suffer from arachnophobia, there are a number of reasons
to fear these creepy, crawly critters.
People often fear being bitten, and
that the bite will be poisonous or
deadly. And they also fear that the spiders or tarantulas will jump on them,
or crawl all over them.
On the surface, these fears may seem
rational. But as Shellbrook resident
and tarantula enthusiast Scott Manly
explained to a room full of eager kids
last Thursday, most of these fears are
based on myths and misconceptions
that have spread across the globe over
the years.
Manly, who owns 41 tarantulas by
his own estimation, gave his tarantula
presentation at the Shellbrook Library
as part of the library’s Summer Reading Program. And apart from sharing
some interesting facts about tarantulas, he also used the presentation to
talk about fears, and the importance
of overcoming them by facing them.
“You don’t have to be limited by the
Thora Lenz faces here fear by allowing one of Scott Manly’s tarantulas to climb into her hand. The tarantula presentation was part of the Shellbrook Library’s Summer Reading Program.
fears you have in life,” he said.
“Whatever you are scared of... it limits your life. It keeps you from really
living and enjoying life.”
Arachnophobia has been widely
studied by the scientific community, including most recently in a 2012
study by Northwestern University in
Illinois.
Combining interaction with spiders
and tarantulas, and brain scans, the
study discovered that any work to
overcome a fear would reduce that
fear permanently.
Manly says that, in his 10 years of
owning tarantulas, he has seen evidence that this is true.
“I’ve had a number of friends that
were scared to even look at the tarantulas. Then the next time they said
they’d be ready to pet it, or to hold it,”
he said.
“Whatever progress you make in
overcoming a fear or phobia is permanent. You’re not going to have to revisit that fear again,” he added.
Manly explained that the first step
to overcome any fear is to dispel the
myths that make spiders and tarantulas scary. He told the audience that,
despite claims that tarantula bites are
deadly, there are no recorded cases of
deaths caused tarantula bites.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that tarantulas don’t bite, and the severity of
the bite does differ greatly depending
on where the tarantula comes from.
In particular, Manly says bites from
North American tarantula species are
nothing to be afraid of.
“If you were to get bitten by any of
these, their venom would [hurt] less
than the fang wounds. The venom
would be like being stung by a bee, it
would burn or itch a bit,” he said, adding that tarantulas from Africa and
Asia have much more severe bites.
Manly later told the audience that
tarantulas are also highly unlikely to
crawl all over people, because they’re
quiet, timid animals, and tend to fear
humans far more than humans fear
them.
Manly also explained that, despite
some misconceptions, tarantulas and
spiders are delicate creatures. And,
because their blood doesn’t coagulate,
they can be killed by a short fall, or
even the smallest of wounds. Though,
tarantulas can grow new legs after
they molt if they happen to lose one.
With the most common tarantula
myths dispelled, Manly concluded his
presentation by inviting the kids to
browse his collection, and even interact with a few of the different species.
Though some kids were still wary
of getting too close to the tarantulas, they left feeling much more curious about the animals, than afraid of
them.
