Minimalist metals are hot for the home.
Spruce up your bathroom walls with metallicframed vintage black and white photos or

custom designed look.
Lighten Up
Today’s trendsetters are installing
chandeliers in unexpected places, like the
powder room. For an earthy twist on the
overhead lighting, try a chandelier made
of Capiz, a flat semi transparent shell with
a pearlescent appearance. For the perfect
amount of light no matter what style lighting
you choose, install a dimmer. You can set the
mood while adding some unexpected whimsy
and charm into the bath.
Modern Mania
Just as today’s fashions are sleek, simple
and shiny – Moen has added these cues
into the Level bath suite. This sleek, modern

the Iso bath accessory collection from Moen
offers sleek styling and a contemporary
chrome finish and includes a robe hook,
pivoting paper holder, towel ring, single and
double towel bars, pivoting decorative mirror

New $2.55 million health
station under construction
on Beardy’s First Nation
By Rod Andrews
Construction is currently
underway on the new Willow
Cree Health Station on the
Beardy’s & Okemasis First
Nation.
Wilson Sutherland, director of
health of the First Nation, said the
$2.55 million 695 square metre
building is being built by Miners
Construction Ltd. of Saskatoon
with 100 percent of the cost of
the project coming from federal
government funding.
The building will be located
south of the main village, east
of the Beardy’s Recreational
Centre and west of the road
leading to the Healing Lodge.
“It will be a wooden building
with the target date for opening
by the end of November, but it
could be later depending if there
is any unforeseen delay,” said
Sutherland.
He said they had several
contractors bidding on the
project, including two from out
of province due to the downturn
in the economy in other
provinces.
“Last year we were fighting to
get just one contractor. It was a
good thing that the project was
delayed, as the project came in
lower than expected”.
Sutherland expects there will
be a number of jobs for band
members when the project gets
going in earnest.
At the present time,
groundwork has started and by
this week, large screw piles will
be installed before they start
working on the foundation.
Sutherland and Remi Mike,
councillor responsible for health,
announced that the present
health centre has been sold by
the federal government to the
First Nation and will be used for
a new band office.
The old health centre will
have renovations done, with the
work to be completed by the time
the new health centre opens.
Mike said that the current band
office will be converted to office
space for other departments of
the First Nation’s government.
“We expect to make other
announcements about what
is going in there, including the
possibility of a banking office of
some kind,” said Mike.
Sutherland said the new
health centre will be large to

end of the 19th century before
coming to Canada.
Special wooden guns will be
used in the reenactment.
During the ceremony there will
be a reenactment of Doukhobor

Household hazardous waste collection
Saturday for Langham and area
By Rod Andrews
Residents of Langham,
Dalmeny, Borden, Radisson,
Hepburn, Martensville, Warman,
the RM of Corman Park and
surrounding municipalities are
being asked to participate in a
household hazardous waste
collection day in Langham.
Wendy Kaar, administrative
assistant, said that the town
had been asked to “participate
in a pilot program” called the
household hazardous waste
day, as part of the “Go Green
Saskatchewan” program.
Kaar said that the HHWD
is a program for the collection
and proper disposal of specific
household products, which
may be hazardous to the
environment.
Rosthern, Hague, Duck Lake
and the RMs of Rosthern and
Duck Lake just held a similar
collection program this past
Saturday that collected many
items of hazardous material.
The Langham HHWD will be
this Saturday, May 9, from 9:00
am to 4:00 pm at the temporary
disposal station that will be set
up at 105 Railway Street at the
Langham Fire Hall.
There will be a licenced
waste management company
at the collection depot for the
day with trained staff members
who will handle the disposal of
unwanted materials.
Kaar said that this will be
“the perfect time to dispose
of unused items,” including
paint, electronics, batteries,
pesticides, corrosive cleaners,
other chemicals and many other
types of items that may be
harmful to yourself, your family
and the environment.
She added that the Town
of Langham will be holding its
annual town wide garage sales
that day, so there is another
reason to come to Langham that
day.

Transit service major issue at
Rosthern public meeting
By Rod Andrews
The future of Rosthern’s
transit bus system was a major
issue of concern raised at
the public meeting called by
Rosthern Town Council that was
held last Wednesday.
The best that came out of
the meeting was the town would
continue to look into the moneylosing service.
Mayor Doug Knoll said there
more people at the meeting, at
least 63 registered, than council
expected. “We thought maybe
five to 10 people” would turn
out.
During council’s review of
town activities, Councillor Ted
Janzen “guessed” that “half”
of those in attendance were at
the meeting to express concern
about keeping the service, with
a show-of-hands, included a fair
number who there for just that
purpose.
Janzen said council has tried
a number of things to reduce
cost, but nothing is working
and the deficit for the service
has climbed to $30,000 a year
and looks like it is holding at that
figure.
He said the “maintenance is
eating up” money while ridership
is falling, but the town still is
providing the service, as people
still need it.
In the future, the town will
need a new bus, with the cost
today, the meeting was told, is
around $130,000.
“We need to explore new
options,” said Janzen.
He pointed out that these
range from “continuing as we
are” to “getting rid of the bus”
to “banding together with a
another organization” to keep a
viable transit service going in the
community.
Janzen pointed out that
Transit Manager Dale Hamm
said there a significant number
of people in the community who
use wheelchairs, and a service of
some type is needed by them.
“There are a whole host of
options,” said Janzen, including
cutting back service to three
days a week.
A number of people expressed
support for the service, and gave
suggestions, including a transit
pass, that may or may not be tax
deductible.
Denny Bishop told that
meeting that the transit service
makes money for the town
“generating a form of income”
from medical patients.
Dr. Bishop said he has had
patients of his move to Rosthern
because of the transit bus, which
in turn boosts the economy
of Rosthern so the service
“generates its own money, which
makes it a valuable resource” for
the community.
He said people do not realize
the value of the service and
would “hate to jeopardize the
service”.
Comments included –
shutting down the service should
not be an option, to one resident
suggesting having a fundraising
event to raise money to keep
the service going, while the
mayor said a foundation could
be established.

aware of garbage
Dear Editor,
People like to walk in the
residential areas of Rosthern.
But do these areas really look
that nice?
When I go walking, I see
garbage – blown by the wind,
tossed from a car or dropped by
a careless hand, I see garbage.
I’ve seen things that could
be recycled. People clean up
downtown and by the schools,
but not in the residential areas.
I think we should try and keep
our own yards clean. If everyone
picked up trash from their lawns,
driveways, hedges, bushes and
curbs, Rosthern would be a more
beautiful place to live.
It’s not enough just to be
aware of garbage. We need to
start doing something about it.
Sincerely,

back memories to those who
were a part of this outing. I’ll
call it “Memories from the
past”.
In 1946 to 1947, Mr. Peter
Driedger was our teacher at
Reinfeld School four miles
northeast of Hague. In the
spring of 1947, he arranged for
the whole student body to have
a day outing to Saskatoon. In
those days, few farmers had
trucks in our district.
Mr. Klaus Neufeld was one
of the men that had a truck and
he was hired. We all got onto
the back of the truck, some 30
students, on a one and a half
ton. Pete and Helen Driedger
sat in the cab with the driver.
This was one day I had
been looking forward to. This
would be my first trip to the big
city. We all brought our lunch
along and as I recall, dad gave
us each 25 cents for spending
money.
It was a beautiful day, I
believe it was the beginning
of June. When we got to 13
mile corner – that’s where the
pavement started – we had a
blowout. We soon found out
that he had no spare tire along.
Mr. Neufeld put the jack under
the rear axle and took off the
rim and tire and hitchhiked to
Saskatoon. During this time, our
teacher tried to keep us under
control while we were stalled on
the road. About an hour and a
half later, Mr. Neufeld was back
with a new tire and we carried
on.
Our first stop was the
Forestry Farm where we had
lunch. From there, we toured
Palm Dairies on 1st Avenue.
Here we each got a dish of free
ice cream, then onto McGavin’s,
where we saw them mix and
bake bread. At Eaton’s, we
had fun riding the escalator and
the elevator – this was a new
experience for some of us. We
all walked across the overhead
bridge from Avenue A to 1st
Avenue. Next, we went to the
weir at Spadina Crescent.
It was one long and enjoyable
day for all of us I am sure.

The federal government
says it can spend its way out
of a recession one deficit at a
time. Many Canadians who
are paying for this dubious
theory don’t actually believe
it. According to an Ipsos-Reid
poll in January, four of every
10 Canadians disapprove of
deficit spending. But, for their
part, municipal politicians have
no hesitation. They see a $229
billion gravy train going by
and they want their share, no
matter the cost to their own
constituents.
In a mixture of misguided
wisdom and political expediency,
federal Conservative politicians
have been crisscrossing the
country for years to announce
(and sometimes re-announce)
spending under the Building
Canada program. Under this
initiative, Ottawa government will
hand out tax dollars — but only
to new and shiny endeavours
cosponsored by provincial and
municipal governments. These
counterparts have been all too
willing to get in on the photo
op.
For their part, the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities
continually
invents
new
ways to inflate the so called
“infrastructure deficit” to bolster
its never ending cries for cash
from the federal government.
Now, Ottawa has seized this
time — a recession — to stick
in the soother. On with the
municipal sweepstakes where
the whiners, er, winners, get
money for projects that weren’t
affordable during the good
times, let alone the bad.
The City of Saskatoon
recently got in on the act by
unveiling a $168 million wish
list of projects (dependent, of
course, on the province and
feds coming through). It’s hard
to argue with $25 million for
road and bridge repairs, but
it’s all downhill from there. A
whopping $50 million could go
towards doubling the size of the
Central Library. (Is doubling the
size of a library, through deficit
financing our kids will have to
pay off, really the best way to
spur an economic turnaround?)
Count another $2.6 million to
revamp baseball diamonds and
tennis courts, and $22 million
for “green infrastructure”.
Beware that expenditure.
One Regina taxpayer recently
complained about the $95,000
that city spent a year ago to put
bike racks on every city bus.
When told that the money came
from the federal government,

That’s just the problem.
“There is only one taxpayer”
isn’t an important message to
politicians right now. And the
future looks worse.
After wisely hacking $2.6
billion of provincial debt last
year,
the
Saskatchewan
government’s recent budget
jacked
up
infrastructure
spending and scheduled zero
debt repayment for the next
four years. Meanwhile, the
province is studying expensive
projects such as a $350 million
retractable domed stadium
for Regina and a white-water
park at the weir in Saskatoon.
Provincial dollars could also flow
downstream to a controversial
new art gallery proposed for
Saskatoon, $80 million in other
Regina recreation facilities
called for in a report last year,
or even the capital overhaul
required by Regina public
libraries.
Just how, exactly, will arenas,
water parks and art galleries
stimulate the economy? In
reality, these “shovel ready”
projects will dig us deeper into
the hole. Canada’s federal
debt will increase by $34 billion
this year, and $85 billion by
2013. By then, it will total $543
billion, with Saskatchewan’s
proportionate share reaching
$16 billion.
Yet, the federal government
has said “deficit-schmeficit,”
the municipalities have jumped
on Ottawa’s gravy train, and
the province is right along with
them. Meanwhile, taxpayers
have been forced on board
and handed the bill. Unless
sober second thought prevails,
the current quest for short
term political gain will leave
our children little more than a
legacy of debt and numerous
white elephants.

National Arts Centre’s Music Alive Program came to Rosthern last week with Rosthern Elementary
School students, and a few high school students, participating in the lessons. Here musical educator
Arlene Shiplett has students, from left, Cheyenne Epp, Brandon Wurtz, Bailey Sutherland, Eric Zerebeski,
Alyssa Ens and Claudia Wall, performing.
Music Alive gets RES kids up
and dancing
By Rod Andrews
Rosthern Elementary School
students received a little extra
music education, and got a
chance to get up and dance to
the music, when the National Arts
Centre’s Music Alive Program
came to town last week.
Musical Educator Arlene
Shiplett, a member of the
Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra
– to name one of the groups she
performs with – was at Rosthern
High School to teach elementary
students various elements of
music they would not receive in
the classroom.
Shiplett told The
Saskatchewan Valley News that
musical education in schools
is not considered to be as
important as it once was and in
some cases, some schools have
no educational programs at all.
“The National Arts Centre’s
Music Alive Program was
designed for schools that
no longer have specialized
programs, so we go into the
schools to teach students
s o m e t h i n g d i ff e r e n t a n d
interesting”.
Shiplett, one of several music
educators in Saskatchewan
who deliver the Music Alive
program, said schools in the
Saskatchewan Valley area once
had a very viable band program
that was shut down and the
musical instruments sold off,
which she pointed out was a loss
for the youngsters.
During the program at RHS,
Shiplett performed on the
French horn, showed the kids
various ways to understand and
appreciate music, and had them
perform music and dance to the
music she brought so they could
“feel the music”.
While the students were
treated to different types of
music, they received a little extra
taste of the music of Mozart,
which is being featured in the
Music Alive program this year.
“Each year, we feature a
different composer – next year
it will be Beethoven. After that
I think we will feature Canadian
composers,” she said.
National Arts Centre’s Music
Alive Program actually has
seven musicians they hired to
teach in schools in Alberta and
Saskatchewan.
Shiplett said the kids in
Rosthern, for example, received
a slightly different program than
what the musicians would
be delivering in southern
Saskatchewan, because of
their interest in different kinds of
music.
She said the students love the
program and the experience they
receive having a professional
musician come in, which is what
happened to her as child growing
up in North Battleford, which
led her to become a serious
musician.
National Emergency Preparedness
Week underway
By Rod Andrews
This week is Emergency
Preparedness Week in Canada,
which is an annual event to
increase awareness about
individual preparedness.
Dealing with the aftermath of
natural disasters such as floods,
tornadoes and the like, has been
emphasized in the past, as the
week attempts to “reinforce the
idea that we can reduce the risks
and lessen the consequences
of a disaster by being better
prepared”.
While nothing has officially
changed this year, with the
threat of having to deal with an
international pandemic close at
hand, it is possible that people
should use this week to consider
how they should prepare for
having to stay at home for
extended periods of time, if
a major and deadly flu bug
strikes.
For years, Public Safety
Emergency Preparedness
Canada has been advising all
Canadians that each one of
us should plan to be without
emergency services for a period
of at least 72 hours if a disaster
occurs.
Public Safety Canada states
that “it can take 72 hours or more
to mobilize a significant relief
effort during an emergency” and
that the 72 hour period is used
by emergency services across
North America.
“Canadians are encouraged
to be prepared to cope on their
own for at least the first 72
hours – that’s three days – of an
emergency. This lets emergency
workers focus on people in
urgent need. To support their
efforts, the rest of us need to be
prepared to look after ourselves,”
states Public Safety Canada.
The agency advises people
to start at home with emergency
preparedness, including having
an emergency kit to help cope
with a major emergency like a
flood or electrical blackout.
It is suggested that the
emergency kit be put in a
backpack, duffel bag or suitcase
with wheels, so if you are forced
to evacuate from your home, you
can take the kit with you.
Information about a basic
emergency preparedness kit can
be found at http://publicsafety.
gc.ca.
Highlights from that document
include a reminder to people that
following natural disaster banks,
automated bank machines and
credit cards may not work during
a blackout and it is a good idea
to have cash on hand in your
emergency kit.
The basic kit should have a
flashlight, battery operated radio,
food, water and blankets.
Public Safety Canada said
that the “key is to make sure they
are organized and easy to find
– make sure your kit is easy to
carry. Keep it in a backpack, duffel
bag or suitcase with wheels, in
an easy to reach, accessible
place, such as your front hall
closet. Make sure everyone in
the household knows where to
find the emergency kit”.
Basic items you will need
to survive for a 72 hour period
include water – at least two
litres of water per person per
day (include small bottles that
can be carried easily in case of
an evacuation order); food that
won’t spoil, such as canned food,
energy bars and dried foods
(remember to replace the food
and water once a year); manual
can opener; flashlight and
batteries; candles and matches
or lighter; battery powered
or windup radio (and extra
batteries); first aid kit; special
items such as prescription
medications, infant formula
and equipment for people with
disabilities; extra keys for your
car and house; cash in smaller
bills, such as $10 bills (traveller’s
cheques are also useful); change
for pay phones and a copy of
your emergency plan including
contact information.
Recommended additional
kit supplies include a change
of clothing and footwear for
each household member;
sleeping bag or warm blanket
for each household member;
a whistle (in case you need to
attract attention); garbage bags
for personal sanitation; toilet
paper and other personal care
supplies; safety gloves; basic
tools (hammer, pliers, wrench,
screwdrivers, fasteners, work
gloves); small fuel driven stove
and fuel and two additional litres
of water per person per day for
cooking and cleaning.
The Saskatoon Chapter of Engineers Without Borders was at Martensville High School last week to
show Grade 10 students how to make water filtration equipment units from basic materials. Engineers
Without Borders helps people in developing communities gain access to technologies that will improve
their lives including access to water. Here the Martensville students are shown how to make a sand
water filter from a pop bottle.
Are we ready for an influenza
pandemic?
By Rod Andrews
There has been much
talk about whether the H1N1
Influenza A (swine flu) outbreak
that originated this year is
“going to be the big one,” a
worldwide pandemic that will
strike millions of people.
By the time this edition of
is on newsstands, there might
be some sign as to the direction
the current outbreak is headed
– or maybe not.
To date, lowering the risk of
contact with carriers of the H1N1
has reduced the spread of the
flu and people in Saskatchewan
are being advised to wash their
hands frequently to reduce the
chance of catching anything.
Johnmark
Opondo,
deputy medical health officer,
Saskatoon Health Region, told
the Valley News that “person
preparedness” is still the best
way to reduce the chance of
getting this type of flu – this
ranges from washing your
hands to getting a flu shot to
avoiding those who are sick.
“We are still in the
preparedness mode right now.
It would be wise to dust off your
personal preparedness plan
just in case,” said Dr. Opondo.
He said the Personal
Preparedness
Plan
for
Pandemic Influenza for the
Saskatoon Health Region was
released several years ago and
is still useful today.
Simply put, that plan
suggests how you can plan
ahead for your personal health
and safety.
“The effects of a pandemic
influenza can be lessened if you
prepare ahead of time,” states
the plan.
It reminds people that during
an influenza pandemic, some
day to day services may be
disrupted, including grocery
stores, pharmacies and the
like.
“The
health
region,
municipal, provincial and
federal governments will use all
resources at their disposal, but
they need your assistance. All
people need to be responsible
for themselves, their families
and their community,” states
the plan, which urges people
to stock essential supplies for
themselves and family.
Unlike the 72 hour rule for
a disaster (see the story on
Emergency
Preparedness
Week), Saskatoon Health
Region recommends that you
stock a two week emergency
supply of items in the case of a
major pandemic.
In addition to food and health
supplies, the plan says you
should have at least two litres of
water per person per day.
Food may include ready to
eat canned meats, canned fruit,
dried fruit, canned vegetables,
soup, protein bars, dry cereal/
granola, peanut butter/nuts,
crackers, canned juices, tetrapacked milk or soy beverage,
canned or jarred baby food/
formula and pet food.
Other supplies include
pain relievers/fever reducers,
stomach remedies, cough
and cold medicine, anti-
diarrhea medication, fluids
with salt and sugar, vitamins,
prescribed medical supplies
such as glucose and blood
pressure monitoring equipment,
thermometre and equipment for
persons with disabilities.
Additional supplies include
soap, alcohol based hand
sanitizer, flashlight, batteries,
battery powered or windup
radio, manual can opener,
garbage bags, tissues, toilet
paper, candles and matches
or lighter, a general first aid
kit, extra keys for car and
house, cash and change for
pay phones, feminine hygiene
products, disposable diapers
and hand wipes in the event of
a water shortage.
The health region said if you
have signs of sickness, stay
home and rest, as this will avoid
spreading the illness to others.
They also recommend
drinking plenty of liquids in order
to help replace the fluid lost
from fever and sweating; take
medication for your symptoms;
make sure you mention if you
have a chronic illness or are
taking other medication when
talking to a pharmacist; gargle
– to help a sore throat, gargle
with a glass of warm water
mixed with a half teaspoon of
salt. Throat lozenges are also
helpful.
“Wash your hands often
– this will help you avoid
spreading the virus to others,”
stated the health region. “Ask
for help – you may need to ask
for help until you are feeling
better”.
Valley Action Abilities staff were busy collectiing large items in Rosthern last week and will be collecting
large items in Duck Lake next Tuesday.

Sports
Harold (Hal) Tarala Hockey
Star in 1955
By Don Regier
The late Harold Tarala had his
hockey roots in Laird. His career
took him to Moose Jaw, where in
1947, the team were Memorial
Cup finalists. Other centres he
played in were Kansas City,
Portland, Vancouver, Tacoma,
Syracuse and Penticton. On
March 6, 1955, the latter team,
the Vees, captured the World
Championship in Germany with
a 5-0 win over the then powerful
Russians, who held this honour
in 1954 and 1956.
Recently it was reported
that Hal Tarala made a super
body check to the best Russian
player, who was evidently
winning the games for them.
The Tarala check determined
the outcome of the game. While
Canadians hold dear the game
winning goal of Paul Henderson
in 1972, Laird folks take pride
in a native son, claimed only to
be an unimpressed worker from
Canada, who sparked the Vees
to victory. Someone mentioned
to me that the Russians evidently
didn’t know the power of the
Saskatchewan farmer.
In 1940 to 1941, Harold
played on a line with Vernon
and John Friesen, I centred the
line of Johnny Fast and Delmar
Peters. The Laird team also had
four members of the Hinz family,
namely Walter, Vander and
Alvin on defense, and Edwin in
the goal. Another player on the
team was our principal, Milton
Palmer. The team played the
season without a loss. That was
very enjoyable. I can still see big
Ed Reinwald and big Bill Lanz
cheering from the snow banks.
Fans always like the team to
win.
My dad wasn’t sports minded.
He had his work cut out raising
17 children. However, arriving
home at 1:00 to 1:30 am, the
bedroom door would open with
the question, “Did you win?”
“Yes,” and bang it shut again.
The Laird History Book has him
sitting on a large wooden block,
observing the construction of
the 1968 arena, with some good
northern Saskatchewan spruce
lumber.
If Milton Palmer, who went
to teach in Ontario, is still living,
he would have reached the age
of approximately 99. If not, he
would have joined the ranks of
all the other playmates, except
me.
Of the widows, we have
Elsie (Tarala) Friesen, the wife
of Vernon, South Burnaby, BC;
Nettie (Hinz) Riediger, wife of
Ed, Rosthern Nursing Home;
Dorothy Fast, wife of Johnny,
Rosthern; and last but not least,
Peggy (Fischer) Tarala, wife of
Harold, Portland, OR.
So now you have heard the
rest of the story.
I have the newspaper article
in my possession and am willing
to share the unique write up with
anyone.
SaskTel
announces
faster
internet service for Rosthern
By Rod Andrews
Residents of Rosthern and
63 other communities in the
province will be getting facts
on wireless data access from
SaskTel in the future.
Ken Cheveldayoff, minister
responsible for Saskatchewan’s
Crown Corporations, said last
week that customers are now
getting faster internet in those
areas due to the installation
o f a n e w E V- D O R e v A
enhancement.
The EV-DO technology,
says SaskTel, allows a number
of wireless data services,
including web browsing, content
downloads and video streaming,
to take place at the same time
on the twin pair telephone wire
subscribers use.
The cost of increasing the
speed of data access was $11.3
million.
“SaskTel’s commitment to
offering its customers worldclass wireless services is evident
from this latest improvement.
This project to deliver improved
wireless data service to residents
and businesses across the
province will help bring SaskTel’s
total investment in digital cellular
service to over $170 million,”
said the minister.
Robert Watson, CEO of

In technical language, the EVDO Rev A system is called a third
generation network technology
available to Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA).
The bottom line is that it
allows cellular carriers peak
average upload speeds ranging
between 350 kbps and 550 kbps,
and peak average download
speeds ranging between 2000
kbps and 2300 kbps.
There is a catch to this, said
the crown utility, as customers

University reception to honour local collector
By Jim Craik
The
University
of
Saskatchewan is having a
special reception next week to
pay tribute to the late Margaret
Friesen for the donation of her
large and very unique collection
of magazines.
An avid collector, who lived
just outside of Rosthern for
many years with her husband
Jim, daughter Bernice and
son Russell, Friesen amassed
an amazing collection of early
women’s magazines. Part of
her collection, which includes
421 items, was donated to the
University of Saskatchewan last
May, shortly before Friesen’s
passing in June last year.
“There are 100 issues of
‘The Modern Priscilla’ for the
years 1909 to 1930 and 286
issues of ‘Needlecraft’ for the
years 1910 to 1941,” says
Donna Canevari de Peredes,
Selectors and Liaison Librarian
for History at the University of
Saskatchewan.
“Although each collection is
not complete,” she adds, “this
may be the largest collection
of these two magazines in
Canada. The other items
donated include books and
issues of other magazines from
the years 1912 to 1953.
The
rare
publications
are to be put in the Special
Collections/Rare Books section
at the library and identified as,
“The Margaret Friesen-Labach
Collection of Early 20th Century
Women’s Magazines”.
There are other, smaller
collections of “The Modern
Priscilla” at the National Library
of Canada and the Toronto
Public Library, while 11 issues
of “Needlecraft” can be found
in the University of Waterloo
Women’s Studies Collection in
Rare Books.
There is only one other
collection of early 20th century
women’s magazines in the
world equivalent to this donation
– that collection is held at the
University of Minnesota.
“The ‘specialness’ of the
collection is in its age and size,”
says Bernice of her mother’s
collection, which was quite
literally kept in a closet at the
family home for many years.
“It’s the size one would expect
to find in a library.
“Its rareness comes from the
fact that, ‘women’s ephemera’
(items designed to be useful or
important for a short time that
were collected) tends to get
lost, and at that time might have
found its way to the outside biffy
rather than be preserved in a
library.
The late Margaret Bernice
(Labach) Friesen.
“The
‘Needlecraft’
magazines in particular show
devotion to popular women’s art
of the time, which any women
could do, and provided patterns
and also articles on traditional
needlecraft from many other
countries as well as interviews
with women such as Eleanor
Roosevelt and Amelia Erhart
– on aircraft and needlework.
“‘The Modern Priscilla’
magazines, which later became
‘Modern Priscilla,’ featured
articles on making clothing,
having parties, cooking on a
budget, planting a garden and
war and peace, economics and
fashion”.
The reception, which is open
to the general public, is to be
held at the Special Collections
Department on the third floor
of the Murray Library on the
University of Saskatchewan
campus from 2:30 pm to 4:30
pm on May 14.
During the program at 3:00
pm, Bernice will be giving a slide
show of some of her work that
she feels has been influenced
by some of her mother’s
magazines and which uses
some of their images, collaging
and contrasting with modern
images of women. At least two
other speakers, de Peredes and
Special Collections Librarian
David Bindle are expected to
speak.
Friesen’s favourite craft was
crochet work and there will be
some of her work on exhibition
at the reception as well.
“My mother would be
very happy that they (the
magazines) will be preserved
by the university as wonderful
resources for the History and
Women’s Departments in
particular”.
“I’m
glad
for
the
remembrance for her,” says
her husband of 48 years. “She
couldn’t stand to throw away a
book or magazine. It added up
over the years.
“She had over 1,000
cookbooks,” he says. “We had
a cupboard 18 inches deep and
four feet wide which was full of
the cookbooks from the floor to
the ceiling. We took those to the
Salvation Army a couple years
ago.
“The magazines for this
collection were collected in the
early years of our marriage,” he
says, explaining how it came
about. “She was pen pals with
a number of ladies in the states
and she exchanged magazines
with them. I think she got far
more than she sent!”
Bernice expects that the
collection will be made available
to the public in some way.
“The library will make
the collection accessible to
researchers and may digitize
some or all of it in the future”.
The quickest way to see the
collection may be to attend the
reception, as at least some of
the magazines will be on display
at that time. But don’t expect to
see all 421 of them up close.

Jim of the reception for his late
wife. “It will be a good memorial
for her. She would be happy
that the magazines were being
preserved”.
After training at the Normal
School in Saskatoon, Margaret
Friesen taught for 13 years at
traditional one room schools in
six different locations, beginning
at Three Creeks School near
Shellbrook and ending at
Pike Lake School, southwest
of Saskatoon. She moved to
Rosthern in 1958 and taught
Grade 1 at Rosthern Elementary
School for four years.
She married Jim Friesen in
1960 and lived on their farm
three miles east of Rosthern.
Their son Russell was born
in 1964 followed by daughter
Bernice in 1966.
Margaret loved to collect
books and magazines. On
shopping trips to Saskatoon
they would end up at Westgate
Books, when it was still in
Westgate, where she often
found publications to add to her
collections.
“She always collected books
and stuff like that,” says Jim,

Six of the eight skunks spotted near Highway #312.
A stink bomb on the run
By Don Regier
Ralph Schidlowsky wouldn’t
want to get any closer to these
eight, white back stripped
critters. Two more didn’t get
in the picture. Ralph came
upon this scene on a drive
from Laird to Rosthern on
Highway #312, west of the
Eigenheim Mennonite Church.
It made good conversation at
coffee time where skunk stories
abounded of tails being clipped
by swathers and numerous
stink bombs going through the
combines.

Gaming Regulations Act, 1997
Notice is hereby given that 101100505 Saskatchewan Ltd, has applied

I needed to get mine firsthand
from former Laird resident
Abe Martens. Abe is presently
living in Prince Albert with his
daughter, Hazel and son-inlaw. They plan to move back to
their acreage near Choiceland.
I was shocked to hear his skunk
experiences. In total, he has
killed 45, the reason being he
had been near the river where
he set up traps with strong
gopher poison.
Living at the northwest
corner of Laird, he would trap
the critters and with a 12 foot
rail, would pull the trapped
skunk into the field and shoot it
– that kept the smell out of the
neighbourhood. Abe told me he
had loaned his trap to Abe and
Jean Friesen and Jean told me
that the skunk under their shed
was caught the same day.

years old on June 6, and is

m i n i s t r i e s . O n S a t u r d a y,
workshops were offered with
a variety of topics from “God’s
heart for the poor” to “Why
missionaries choose the life and
ministry they do”. HavestFest 09
gave people the opportunity to

custom designed look.
Lighten Up
Today’s trendsetters are installing
chandeliers in unexpected places, like the
powder room. For an earthy twist on the
overhead lighting, try a chandelier made
of Capiz, a flat semi transparent shell with
a pearlescent appearance. For the perfect
amount of light no matter what style lighting
you choose, install a dimmer. You can set the
mood while adding some unexpected whimsy
and charm into the bath.
Modern Mania
Just as today’s fashions are sleek, simple
and shiny – Moen has added these cues
into the Level bath suite. This sleek, modern
collection features a geometric single handle
single hole mount faucet in a contemporary
chrome finish. Paired with a black, white or
clear glass vessel sink, the faucet can punch
up your powder room with an extra modern
edge.
Accessorize in Style
No powder room update is complete
without stylish accessories to pull it all
together. For a clean, sophisticated look,
the Iso bath accessory collection from Moen
offers sleek styling and a contemporary
chrome finish and includes a robe hook,
pivoting paper holder, towel ring, single and
double towel bars, pivoting decorative mirror
and a glass shelf. An attractive wall mounted
toothbrush/tumbler holder and wall mounted
soap dish round out the offering.
If you’re looking to taste-test your style
desires, look no further than the nearest
fashion magazine for inspiration. They offer
a host of hot style ideas – not only for your
wardrobe, but also to pump up your powder
room.

Improve your Increase your homes curb appeal and
outdoor décor help protect the environment
Chances are your deck or
patio décor includes a variety
of surfaces such as wood,
wicker, metal and plastic,
all which may have become
weathered from summer sun
and winter storage. Armed
with your creativity and a
few cans of spray paint, you
can give all these surfaces
a fresh, stylish, up-to-date
appearance. Spray painting
furniture and accessories is
probably the fastest and most
affordable way to give your
backyard oasis a great new
look.
Krylon Fusion for Plastic
is an easy-to-use, one step,
super-bonding spray paint.
It can be used on wood,
metal, wicker, hard vinyl
and a wide range of plastic
surfaces including ABS, PVC,
polypropylene, polyethylene,
fiberglass and rubber.
It is available in a wide
range of colours and now
comes with the new EZ Touch
360° Dial Spray Tip, which
enables more comfortable
spray painting with increased
coverage per pass, reduced
overspray, less chance of runs
or drips and greater accuracy.
Using a dial that rotates a
full 360°, spray painters can
adjust the direction of the fanspray pattern with the touch
of a finger.
The colour experts at
Krylon
(www.krylon.com),
North America’s leading
supplier of spray paint, have
some tips for making outdoor
makeovers easier than ever:
• Use colour to unify your
space. By carefully selecting
a palette of a few colours,
you can unify even disparate
furniture pieces into a
pleasing whole. White is an
ever-popular classic that
can be paired with almost
any accent colour to achieve
striking good looks.
• Especially in areas filled with
bright sunlight, don’t be afraid
of bold or saturated colours.
Use bright, bold colours to
infuse a space with energy
and whimsy, or consider
textured or metallic hues for
more subtle sophistication.
• For the brightest, boldest
colours, prime the surface or
apply a white basecoat. Next,
apply the colour coat over the
white surface.
• Group furniture together to
create intimate conversation
areas.
Use
interesting
containers to hold plants.
Consider
lighting
for
both evening safety and
ambiance.
• Always follow the directions
on your can of spray paint.
Application instructions and
dry times, as well as how long
you should shake the can and
how far away you should hold
it from the surface, vary from
paint to paint.

Five tips to paint your
community green
The hardest part of making a change is often just taking that first step. This year, it seems more Canadians than ever are taking
their first step toward making a difference in their community, and many are focusing on the environment. If you’re interested in
making a change, here are a few tips to help get you started:
• If you’ve got a green thumb, choose to make your gardens — whether they span over an acre or sit in pots on your balcony
— wildlife friendly. Grow climbing plants like morning glory, trumpet honeysuckle, purple clematis or Virginia creeper to attract
butterflies and hummingbirds, or shrubs such as juniper, cedar, American elderberry, common winterberry or northern bayberry to
attract birds.
• Speaking of wildlife, become involved in a local effort to improve the habitat of endangered or threatened species in your area.
Find out which animals are at risk and see if there’s any way you can help. Once you know, apply to the Canon Canada Nurture
Nature Awards at www.canon.ca/donations_sponsorships for the opportunity to win $20,000 to fund your environmental initiative.
Submissions will be accepted starting from Earth Hour (www.earthhour.org) on March 28, 2009 until September 1st, 2009.
• If you prefer to buy your produce rather than grow it, try to buy locally. Not only does it reduce food kilometres, but it supports
enterprising community members. And to increase the good it does for the community, leave the car parked at home for your trip
to the local farmer’s market — take transit, hop on a bike or go for a walk.
• Organize neighbourhood garbage pickup days to help make your community clean and beautiful. Get the kids excited about
participating by offering a prize for the most trash picked up. End the day with a community picnic or a barbecue using food from
the garden and from local farmers.
• Reduce, reuse and recycle all at once by hosting a community yard sale. Purge your home of things you no longer need
— which might be treasures for some bargain hunters — and take any leftovers to Goodwill.

How to reduce your carbon footprint — and your energy bills
With spring in full bloom, it’s a great time to
consider ways to “green” your home and reduce
your carbon footprint. Having a “green” conscience
is much more practical and inexpensive than
you may think. For example, by simply installing
compact fluorescent lights or sealing cracks
around your windows, you can do your part to
save money on your electricity bill and minimize
your impact on the environment.
Here are a few tips that can help green your
home:
1. Audit Yourself: By hiring an inspector to
perform a simple home energy audit, you will be
able to find where energy is lost and where it can
be saved. By properly insulating your home, you
can save up to 34 percent on your heating bill.
(CMHC, Renovating for Energy Savings, 2004)
2. Reduce Your Use: On average, lighting a
house consumes 3,942 kWh, which is equivalent to
27 light bulbs. By switching to compact fluorescent
bulbs, you can save up to $300 on your lighting
bill. (Natural Resources Canada, ENERGY STAR
Simple Savings, 2008)
3. Buy Green: After cooling and heating,
appliances are the most energy consuming
users in the home. When you buy appliances,
make sure you look for the EnergyGuide label.
4. Tax Free: In the province of Ontario, people
who purchase ENERGY STAR residential
furnaces, boilers and heat pumps are exempt
from provincial sales tax (eight percent).
Did you know? CIBC has a mortgage solution
which can help you start saving money by
lowering your utility bills. The CIBC Enviro-Saver
Mortgage offers a gift certificate from Amerispec
Canada for up to $300 on a home energy audit
and $2,500 in savings coupons for your home.
“The Enviro-Saver Mortgage is for customers
who are thinking about making energy-efficient
upgrades or other improvements to their home.
It is a great way to be eligible for up to $5,000
in energy-efficient federal grants” says Randy
Beuselinck, a CIBC mortgage specialist.

Bring the indoors outside Spring cleaning for the pipes
Given that our personal
real estate is our most
valuable asset it makes sense
to maximize every square
foot of your property. It’s not
surprising then to find that
people are moving outdoors
to create more space at home
to relax and enjoy time with
family and friends. Today
the options for furnishing
an outdoor living space are
limitless.
An outdoor room is easy
to create. The components of
such a space usually include a
barbecue, seating and dining
area, and may incorporate a
fireplace, firepit or chiminea.
Some outdoor rooms take it
further with an outdoor kitchen
complete with a refrigerator and
dishwasher even. But don’t stop
there. You can also add a pizza
oven, cocktail bar, fountain,
trellis, patio heater, hot tub or
swimming pool.
Simple or elaborate, an
outdoor room is an extension
of your home. Keep that in
mind when you design your
outdoor space. Make it fit your
personality and needs. Start by
creating a wish list. Flip through
magazines and clip pictures that
create the look you seek. And
remember, an outdoor room
can evolve over years if you
end up with a large wish list but
have a limited budget. The first
year, define the grilling, dining
and lounging areas. Later you
can accessorize.
Draw up a plan with
a focal point. An outdoor
room has many of the same
elements as those inside
your house. For a foundation,
will you have a deck or patio
stones? For walls, will there
be a fence, retaining wall
or hedge? Landscaping
becomes the décor for your
outdoor space. It can be used
to create texture and mood,
and to bring cohesion to your
room. Next, you’ll want to
furnish your space - a wide
variety of options exist here
- enough to suit any outdoor
living vision. Finally, don’t
overlook the lighting. It can be
the finishing touch that brings
your outdoor space
together
adding
drama and romance.
Above all, have
fun designing and
developing
your
outdoor room. The
goal is to create a
space that meets all
your needs for comfort
and relaxation.

Following
another
long Canadian winter,
many homeowners are
happily attacking spring
cleaning tasks around
the house. The cleaning
doesn’t have to stop at
airing out the house,
tidying up the ideas with
Direct Energy, suggests
devoting a little of your
spring energy towards
some
preventative
plumbing maintenance
as well.
Give the drain a
break
One of the simplest
tasks is making sure
your drains remain
efficient and free of any
clogs, and it only takes
a few seconds. To purge
unwanted build-up, pour
a cup of baking soda followed
by a cup of vinegar down your
drains. Wait a minute or so
and rinse the drain with two
quarts of boiling water. Fast,
effective and environmentally
friendly. This doesn’t have to be
a once a year exercise either,
Dave suggests doing this on
a monthly basis. Using a drain
strainer in the bathroom sink
and tub will keep debris like
hair and soap from clogging the
pipes.
Nip drips and leaks in
taps and toilets
This is the time to start
fresh if you have dripping taps,
or a leaky toilet. According to
Environment Canada, toilets
and leaking taps are the largest
water wasters in the home.
One leaky tap could send
several thousand litres of water
down the drain in a year. But
it’s the toilet that ranks as the
home’s biggest water waster,
with flushing accounting for 30
percent of the daily home water
usage. To test your toilet for
leaks, drop some food colouring
into the tank. If the colour seeps
into the toilet bowl within 10 to
15 minutes, your toilet
has a leak and it might be
the time to upgrade to a
low-flush model.
Everything but the
kitchen sink
A common mistake
many people make is
disposing of grease in the
sink or down the toilet.
Once the grease cools, it
hardens and clings to the
inside of the drain pipe.
Additional debris that
sneaks down the drain
will stick to the greasy
walls, eventually building
up and blocking the pipe.
If you haven’t already,
start a new practice this
spring and pour cooking
grease into a heatresistant container for
storage and disposal, rather
than dumping it down the drain.
Review garbage disposal
practices
To ensure your garbage
disposal unit continues to work
at optimum level, review what
should and shouldn’t go down
the drain. Putting the wrong
items down can also lead to
blocked drains and reduce the
lifespan of the unit.

preventive plumbing practices,

Shrubs for shade
By Maureen Troesch
Finding shade tolerant plant
material that is well adapted
to the prairie climate can be a
challenge, even for herbaceous
perennials, and the selection of
woody species that do well in
shade is even narrower.
Shade tolerant
A number of shrubby species
will tolerate cultivation in the
shade, even if they might prefer a
sunnier environment. Flowering
and fruiting may be reduced or
absent, but their growth and
foliage should be reasonably
strong and healthy.
Dogwoods are commonly
found as part of the understorey
in deciduous forests, thriving in
the dappled shade created by
larger trees. Cultivars of red
osier dogwood (Cornus sericea)
and Tatarian dogwood (Cornus
alba) are both extremely hardy
and have very attractive foliage
– both green and variegated
forms (white or yellow mixed
with green) are available. Some
selections also feature brilliantly
coloured bark and persistent
blue-grey fruit for winter effect.
White variegated dogwoods,
such as the deservedly popular
“Ivory Halo,” are particularly
lovely in the shade, the leaves
appearing almost luminous
against the shadows. The dark,
glossy red of the young stems is
an added bonus.
Cranberries (Viburnum) are
another group of shrubs that
perform quite reliably in part
shade, though they have a
neater, less leggy growth habit
in sun. The American highbush
cranberry (Viburnum trilobum)
is probably the best known
member of the genus. It’s quite
a large shrub – the species can
reach three metres tall, almost a
small tree, though more compact
forms are also available. The
foliage is three lobed and vaguely
maple shaped, dark green in
summer, with vivid orange-red
colour usually developing in the
autumn. Clusters of showy white
flowers in spring are followed
by bright red fruit that persists
through the winter, and is very
attractive to birds.
Nannyberry (Viburnum
lenatago) and wayfaring tree
(V. lanata) are also good large
shrubs for partial shade, while
cultivars of the European
cranberry (V. opulus) generally
remain somewhat smaller,
though are also less hardy.
Alpine currant (R. alpina) is
a dense, globe shaped plant,
a metre or less in height, and
is probably the best candidate
for a short hedge in a shaded
border. Common snowberry
(Symphoricarpos albus), a low
growing, understorey species
widespread across North
America, has attractive, bluegrey foliage and clusters of waxy
white fruit, but it suckers very
aggressively, and may be too
rambunctious and disorderly for
the average urban yard.
Two euonmymous species,
compact winged euonymus
(Euonymus alata “Compacta”)
and narrow-leafed burning bush
(E. nanus) can also be grown in
shade. The winged euonymus is
a tidy, upright shrub that derives
its name from the corky ridges

green, but in fall, they turn a

have dubbed “tandoori pink” — if
you’ve ever prepared chicken

paste, you’ll know exactly the
colour I mean.
Cultivar descriptions claim it

tall, but perhaps because of
hardiness issues, I have never
seen a locally grown specimen
surpass a metre in height, even
after the better part of a decade.

colour in fall, and sports rather
unusual small, pink fruits, but

AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Council
of the Rural Municipality of Rosthern No. 403:
The accompanying synopsis of the financial statements is derived from the complete financial statements of the Rural
Municipality of Rosthern No. 403 as at December 31, 2008 and for the year then ended. We have audited those financial
statements and reported therein on January 19, 2009, with reservation as explained in the following paragraph. The fair
summarization of the complete financial statements is the responsibility of the administration and council of the Municipality.
Our responsibility, in accordance with the applicable assurance guideline of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants,
is to report on the summarized financial statements.
Due to practical considerations, we were not able to observe the counting of physical inventories, nor satisfy ourselves
concerning those inventory quantities by alternative means. Since inventories enter into the determination of the results
of financial activities and changes in financial position, we were unable to determine what adjustments to surplus, if any,
might be necessary.
In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we may have determined to be necessary had we been
able to examine inventory quantities, as described in the preceding paragraph, the accompanying financial statements are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to complete financial statements from which they have been derived.
These financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for their purposes. Additional information from the
complete audited financial statements may be obtained from the Municipality.
The RJC team at the daycare project on their Guatemala trip, during the February break.
Rosthern Junior College students
help build daycare in Guatemala
By Curtis Wiens,
Grade 12 student
On the night of February 5,
2009, 13 Rosthern Junior College
students and four chaperones
drove to the Saskatoon airport
to begin what was to become
the journey of a lifetime. We
were very excited to arrive in
Guatemala City and spend
time getting acquainted with the
country and culture.
The best part of the trip for
many of us was the time spent
with the church at Lo de Carranza
(a very poor community just
outside Guatemala City) building
a daycare. The money raised
in RJCs Pennies for Poverty
fundraiser (over $7,000) was
used to fund this Mennonite
Central Committee sponsored
building project.
We had the opportunity to
work alongside members of the
church pouring cement columns,
digging out a stump, putting in
a cement floor and playing with
the smiling kids who attended
the daycare. These days were
concluded with a powerful faith
experience. We all gathered
in the new building to have a
commissioning service where
we blessed the new building
and presented the daycare with
gifts we had brought such as
soccer balls, children’s books,
stuffed toys and vitamins. It was
moving to hear how grateful they
were and to hear the prayers in
English and Spanish.
The remainder of our trip
was spent opening our eyes
to Guatemala and learning as
we visited different places. We
travelled to Santiago Atitlan
where we learned about the
social injustices of Guatemala’s
past and present. It was here
that we stayed two nights
with host families. Following
this, we visited a women’s
cooperative, which partners
with Ten Thousand Villages, a
store that specializes in selling
fairly traded items. We were
also able to see how students
live at Guatemala’s Mennonite
Boarding School, Bezaleel,
which hit home for all of us and
reminded us of how much we
take for granted in Canada.
The final days of our trip
were spent having some fun
on the beach at Montericco
where we released endangered
baby turtles and toured the park
protected mangroves, some of
the last in Central America.
After returning from
Guatemala, I’ve recognized that
what we experienced cannot
easily be put into words. One
of our most striking lessons
came from Antony Sanchez,
the head of Mennonite Central
Committee in Guatemala and
El Salvador. As a result of our
trip, Antony suggested three
things that everyone should do.
The first is to see – Open our
eyes to the natural beauty and
other positives of Guatemala as
well as the social injustice. The
second thing is to pray – Pray
for the people of Guatemala and
the people who are working for
positive change. Antony believes
that prayer is the most important
thing needed to help the people
of Guatemala. The third and final
step is to “do your little” – This bit
of rough translation encourages
each of us to do our part, but
emphasizes that each person’s
part does not have to be big to
make a difference.
In the place where we are,
we see, pray and do what we
can to make a change in our
world. Throughout this trip, we
experienced what life is like in
another part of the world – we
grew and we recognized both
how truly privileged we are and
how interconnected our lives are
with others.

Women’s Trade Show raises money for KidSport
Story and photos by Lyn Ens
On April 25, Coralie
Bueckert and Tanya Hanton
organized a Women’s Trade
Show to raise money for the
KidSport organization. KidSport
“is a children’s charity designed
to assist children of families
facing financial obstacles to
participate in sport”. There
were 24 businesses that
took part in this year’s trade
show with everything from
Tupperware to Mary Kay being
represented. The event had
plenty of opportunities for
people to enter door prizes and
get more information on some
on the products featured there.
Around 100 people came out
to support this event and the
total amount of money raised
for KidSport at this year’s
Women’s Trade Show was
$450.

Finally, some warm weather
– now all we need is moisture.
There have been a number of
grass fires in the past week.
Two fires on the east side of
the South Saskatchewan River,
a grass fire that destroyed old
buildings on landed previously
owned by Gerry Perret and a
fire north of Highway #212. It
is a reminder to anyone who
plans a controlled burn that fire
can quickly get out of control,
especially with the winds we
have had recently.
Farmers are anxious to start
seeding and some preliminary
preparations are beginning.
Once the warm weather arrives,
seeding will rapidly progress, as
there is little topsoil moisture and
every day gets a little drier.
Congratulations to Rilley
Fiolleau, who competed in the
CMRC Motocross Circuit on
April 26 and brought home fourth
place in the GP beginner class
in Saskatoon. Rilley, Logan and
Guy Foilleau all participate in the
CMRC Motocross Circuit, which
is a province wide race circuit.
Rilley, Logan and Guy were
participating in Moose Jaw on
May 3 and we wish them good
luck in Kerrobert and Unity on
May 8 and 9.

The
Warman
Community
Band
The Warman Community
Band came into existence
in September of 2000. Band
parents and interested parties
from Warman and area wished
to continue a long tradition
of instrumental band music
in the community. The band
programs in the Saskatchewan
Valley School Division schools
provided this service for many
years. In the spring of 2000,
they discontinued the band
program in the schools.
Former band director for the
Rosthern area and northern
part of the division, Barrie
Redford, presented a proposal
to the Warman School Band
Parents Association to form
a community band. The band
model was similar to the
Dalmeny Community Band of
which Barrie had previously
been the director. Interestingly,
the Dalmeny band moved into
a school program. This band
allowed children and adults of
all ages to participate together
in the band ensembles.
The immediate and desired
response was to see entire
families participate in the
band.
The band enjoys a friendly,
musical
and
productive
atmosphere that often leaves
the members commenting
how quickly the rehearsal
times, performance concerts
and season passes by. The
band performs regularly at
the Saskatoon City Hospital
Festival of Trees fundraiser,
the Warman Carol Festival,
Twin Rivers Music Festival,
the Warman Rodeo parade,
special events on request (the
Warman Fire Station opening)
and two annual concerts, in
December and May. The band
is looking forward to another
music filled season.
Upcoming
performance
dates include:
• May 7, 7:00 pm at the
Saskatoon City Hospital – 701
Queen Street, Saskatoon.
• May 14, 7:00 pm at the
Warman Care Home – 201 3rd
Avenue North, Warman.
There is also a pending
performance at the Dalmeny
Care Home in May, date to be
confirmed.

The Bethany College Connection:
Graduation festivities for Bethany College
By Darlene Dyck,
Advancement Assistant,
Bethany
April 25 and 26 were busy
days for the students, faculty and
staff of Bethany College.
On April 25 at 2:30 pm, the
annual spring concert was held
at a new venue. Knox United
Church was filled with over
450 guests who were treated
to an afternoon full of majestic
sound! The concert featured
the Concert Choir, made up of
over 60 Bethany students and
community members, singing
traditional hymns. The program
arrangement of “Then Sings My
Soul” was directed by Randy
Klassen who commented, “The
Bible encourages believers to
‘sing psalms, hymns and spiritual
songs’ (Eph. 5:19). This year,
the Bethany College Concert
Choir celebrates the hymn as the
voice of worship. Throughout
the centuries, revivals and
renewal movements have
brought ‘a new song’ to the lips
of God’s people, forming a body
of hymns, both text and music,
that gives eloquent voice to the
spiritual journey. This concert
is a representative sampling of
these songs”.
Point of Impact, The Bethany
Players and the voice of the
choir, together with the excellent
atmosphere and acoustic sound
of The Knox United Church,
provided the audience with
the opportunity to be moved a
bit closer to God. Thank you
to the Knox United Church for
allowing Bethany College this
opportunity.
Then it was off to TCU
Place for the Bethany College
graduation banquet. The food
and fellowship was great as
students, faculty, staff, parents
and guests had the opportunity
to reflect on the past year. The
banquet featured speeches given
by a student representative from
each year – Daniel Daongam,
first year; Kiley Zdunich, second
year; Jenni Foster, third year
and Joeline Magill for the fourth
year students. All encouraged
their classmates to hold onto
the memories of the past year
but to pursue a future that uses
the knowledge that each had
acquired during the school
year.
Nate Brandes gave a both
humourous and heartfelt tribute
to parents saying that, “he was
learning to not only call his
parents, Mom and Dad, but
friend”. His parents replied
with some words of wisdom
to all. They encouraged other
parents to not only support their
children’s decision to attend
Bible college, but to encourage
them to take this step in spiritual
maturity. The Brandes’ had the
unique experience of celebrating
with three children at this year’s
graduation – a son-in-law and
two sons completed BAs. The
evening ended with a song of
blessing by the staff and faculty
to the students.

Crop report for the week
ending April 26, 2009
Seeding
is
underway
in the southwest, however,
cool weather has delayed
seeding in most other areas
of Saskatchewan this week,
according to Saskatchewan
Agriculture’s weekly crop
report.
Less than one percent
of crops have been seeded,
primarily peas, lentils and
canola.
Producers have taken
advantage of the lull in seeding
to do other field work such
as weed control, fertilizer
application, rock picking and
harrowing.
The effects of this week’s
snowfall will be detailed in next
week’s crop report.
Top soil moisture conditions
remain virtually unchanged
from last week. Most of the

Communities in Bloom gets
set for spring
By Pat Cooley
The local chapter of
Communities in Bloom has had
its spring meeting and is ready
to start cleaning up and planting
flowers in the public areas to
make our town esthetically
pleasing to residents and
visitors.
Communities in Bloom
is a “Canadian organization
committed
to
fostering
civic pride, environmental
responsibility,
beautification
and to improving the quality
of life through community
participation and the challenge
of national competition”. The
local group welcomed three
new gardeners and now has
a healthy membership of 21
avid gardeners committed to
making Rosthern alive with
flowers. This group, like the
flowers it plants, has been
steadily growing in members,
but the group can always use
more volunteers with an eye
for gardening and a “thing” for
weeds.
Last year, the walkers of
Rosthern would have noticed
the new pots in the green space
at the corner of 10th Avenue
and 5th Street. These were
built by Bryan Kingston. Plans
are to have more of these built
for this year. The perennials
in the Cemetery Circle have
another year’s growth. These
will provide colour for spring,
summer and fall because of
the careful selection of plants.
The group plants and maintains
11 major plots around the
community. Some of these
include the Town Square,
Trailhead at the Station Arts
Centre, post office, Academy
Place, Seager Wheeler Park,
Hospital Rose Garden, Westend
green space, Cemetery Circle
and entrance sign, swimming
pool and the tourist booth
area. Within the tourist booth
area there are several pots, as
well as perennial and annual
flower and shrub beds. These
well maintained areas are an
added plus that visitors notice
when they stop at the booth for
information.
The
committee
has
partnered with the town crew
and downtown merchants to
maintain seven pots and the
flower baskets hanging on 6th
Street. A thank you is extended
to the downtown merchants for
doing their part to make the
business area a greener place.
The committee welcomes
further
involvement
from
more businesses. The annual
Perennial Exchange is being
held on Tuesday, May 19, 7:00
pm at the Station Arts Centre.
This is a time for gardeners to
share plants and tips with each
other. In the past this has been
a well attended event with lots
of exchanging of ideas. For
more information you can call
Bev Janzen, 232-5619 or Pat
Cooley, 232-5357.
If you have an interest in
keeping Rosthern green, the
committee would welcome
your input as well as your
weeding skills. Please contact
Dianne Kingston, 232-4850,
if you would like to help. The
work the committee does
is very worthwhile and very
rewarding. It promotes growth
in our community and proves
Rosthern is a place where
“lifestyle counts”.

You would think that by the final day of April (30), you would not see much ice on lakes or sloughs, but
viewed from the air, there is a vast majority of bodies of water still covered by ice, regardless of their
size. Snow also covered many of the lakes’ banks. This particular smaller lake was near the Cudworth
airport.

St. Louis and Aberdeen students bring home Youth Business Excellence Awards
St. Louis Community
School students and a student
from Aberdeen Composite
School recently attended the
10th annual YBEX awards
c e r e m o n y, s p o n s o r e d b y
Sagehill Community Futures
Development Corporation.
Among the award winners
that afternoon included Douglas
Rudolph from Aberdeen
Composite School and the
following students from St. Louis
– Chaz Dreaver, Toni Nicolas,
Laura Chasse, Katie Ronning,
Brittany MacDonald, Brooke
Cullum, Nadine RaduenzDavidson, Taleen Dutchak, Amy
Epp, Shaylene Lussier, Arisa
Takashi, Courtney Boyer, Marilyn
Roberts, Curtis Forcier, Kaylene
Parenteau, Braydon Potter,
Braedon Rossum, Lindsey
Baldhead, Stephanie Paul,
Catlin McDougall, Brigit Denis,
Gloria Smith, Koona Prosper,
Patrick Finnestad, Jessica Valila,
Kimberly Plant, Caitlyn St. Denis,
Zachary Ketcheson and Jarrett
Trumier.
Each of
these students came home with
a trophy and cash prize as a
reward for the efforts they put in
completing their YBEX entry.
St. Louis and Aberdeen
students completed the YBEX
application kits with the help
from their teachers, Virginia
Kostyniuk, Rick Ronning and
Dana Piercey from St. Louis
and Dawn MacLachlan from
Aberdeen who then submitted
the applications to the Sagehill
office for judging.
Winning business entries
ranged from opening clothing
stores, bakeries, pizza parlours,
bath product stores, arcades and
providing photography services
to name a few. The students from
St. Louis and their teachers have
been participating in YBEX for
several years now. Their hard
work is certainly paying off.
YBEX is a business planning
competition for students in
Grades 6 through 12 in the
Sagehill region. Awards are
presented in two categories –
Dreamer and Took The Plunge.
The Dreamer category is for
those students who complete a
business plan for a business idea
and Took The Plunge is designed
for students who complete a
business plan for a business
they already operate. Other
awards presented during the
afternoon included the CanadaSaskatchewan Business Service
Centre Award and numerous
Spirit Awards.
Over the last 10 years, over
2,100 students have participated
in YBEX. This year, there were
238 students and 14 teachers
from nine schools in the
Sagehill Region participating.
Sagehill encourages individuals
of any age to start their own
business and YBEX is one of
the ways that Sagehill supports
youth in their region. The
Sagehill Community Futures
Development Corporation office
has been in the business of
encouraging small business for
over 20 years.

The Bethany College Connection:
Commencement at Bethany College
By Darlene Dyck,
Advancement Assistant,
Bethany
The Bethany College
commencement was held at
Bethany Place on April 26. Over
400 guests joined the Bethany
College community to celebrate
the conferring of certificates,
diplomas and degrees. The
program began with a welcome
from Joy Lise Nokinsky, director
of advancement, followed by
scripture reading, some upbeat
congregational singing lead by
this year’s chapel band and
a student testimony by Levi
Adams.
Levi challenged the students
in his personal reflection that
over three years of study he
had learned Christian, Biblical
and theological head knowledge,
but that the most important
learning he could and is taking
away from college is getting
to know the person of Jesus
Christ. Howie Wall, Bethany
College board member, then
presented tributes and service
recognition awards to several
Bethany employees. Rick
McCorkindale, academic dean;
Rosemary Thiessen, registrar;
Howie Wall and Lisa Braun,
dean of student development,
conferred:
•
55 certificates to
participants of the EXCITE:
Experiencing Christ Together
(one year program)
•
Seven TESOL
certificates
•
34 diploma’s of Biblical
studies (two year program)
•
16 bachelor of
Christian studies degrees (three
year program)
•
15 bachelor of arts
degrees (four year program)
Greg Klassen, the 2008/2009
student council president, gave
the challenge to the graduating
class. “When I felt like I could no
longer continue, God carried me.
When I didn’t have the energy
to grieve for my grandpa, God
carried me. These past few
weeks have made me realize
how involved God is in my life
and how much I truly need to rely
on him every day for the strength
to keep pushing on. And time
and time again, He is faithful and
He will carry me through when I
feel like I simply can’t”.
May we all learn to face the
adversity of life with the victory
of walking with God.
The service included
performances from talented
students, both ministry arts
tour teams, Point of Impact and
The Bethany Players, as well
as included instrumental music
from Meagan Driedger, Kevin
Dyck and Kelly Bartel.
The commencement
celebration was enjoyed by all
and was a good example of the
college’s commitment to nurture
disciples and train leaders to
serve.

Burning
bushes
Exodus chapter 3 recounts
Moses’ encounter with God while
tending to his everyday task of
herding sheep. His attention was
drawn to a strange phenomenon
— a bush was aflame, but
was not being consumed. As
he approached it for a closer
examination, he heard the voice
of God calling to him out of the
burning bush.
“Take your sandals off your feet
for the place on which you are
standing is holy ground”. Moses’
life was forever changed.
In her book of poetry
entitled, “Five Loaves and Two
Small Fish”©1976, Margaret
Penner Toews describes her
own encounters with the divine
— burning bushes, she calls
them — while tending to her
everyday tasks. I’m sure that
many readers will identify with
her experiences. You see, so
often it’s in those unexpected,
every day times, God speaks.
And when He does we, too,
stand on holy ground and our
lives change.
Holy Ground
(Used with permission)
It happens while I’m working,
sometimes in oddest places,
While I am tending to my
“sheep” — wiping dirty faces.
Picking corn, mending shirts,
cleaning up the dishes,
Doing favours now and then,
fulfilling childish wishes;
While walking in the
meadows, yes, sometimes but
also when I lean upon a table
with a paper and a pen;
At times midst family chatter;
sometimes in midnight hush,
I sense so often — anywhere
— my brightly burning bush.
God speaks to me. I know
His voice. Sometimes He gently
chides
Sometimes He simply warms
me and reminds me He abides.
He bids me shed my shackles
while His holy ground I tread,
Prepares me in a special way
for tasks that lie ahead,
And always in His whispering,
I sense His utter care.
He comes just when I need
him, anytime and anywhere.
My desert would be lonely,
and so purposeless my way,
If there were no “burning
bushes” in my world of work-aday.

Mom:
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be
So He closed His arms
around you
And whispered, “Come to
Me”.
You didn’t deserve what you
went through
And So He gave you rest
God’s garden must be
beautiful
He only takes the best.
So when we saw you
sleeping
So peaceful and free from
pain
We could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
Forever missed,

On May 9, people around
the globe will clap their
hands, tap their feet, and beat
their drums against poverty.
Arousing people to their
potential as powerful agents of
change, World Fair Trade Day
draws attention to individuals
and groups who have helped
make fair trade what it is
today – an effective model for
economic and environmental
transformation.
The impact that individual
consumers can make on issues
of poverty and climate change
is immense. “Marginalized
communities in developing
countries have among
the lightest environmental
footprints, but are those most
threatened by environmental
destruction and climate
change” says Bob Berg, CEO
for Ten Thousand Villages
Canada. The company’s
nonprofit retail stores – 47

RM of Leask receives
PWC funding
By Vivian Nemish
Nineteen rural municipalities
have been approved for $4
million in capital construction
funding to upgrade 112.1
kilometres of roads through
the provincially funded Primary
Weight Corridors (PWC) program
for the 2009/2010 construction
season, with the remaining $6
million being used for ongoing
maintenance.
The Rural Municipality of
Leask #464 was one of the
municipalities successful in
securing some funding. The
Canada–Saskatchewan Building
Canada Fund has allocated
a combined federal/provincial
contribution of $1,473,048
with total project costs at
$2,239,573.
PWC are roads built to a higher
standard to beat the burden of
heavier truck traffic. To date, $9.4
million has been provided for
ongoing maintenance of existing
corridors and $1.4 million for
reconstruction of PWCs through
the ongoing program.
The lack of primary weight
roads in the province is one of
the major impediments that were
identified by the CTP committee.
The PWC network was one
of the key recommendations
from the SARM-Saskatchewan
Urban Municipalities Association
(SUMA) Clearing the Path
initiative.
The RM of Leask will begin
construction on Grid #786 one
mile east of Highway #12 the
spring of 2009, then continue
west seven miles until it reaches
the Rural Municipality of Meeting
Lake. Completion of the project
is scheduled for 2013.

News from Laird and district
By Don Regier
223-4368
Barb and Rudy Speiser are
delighted to share the good
news of their son’s engagement
to Melissa Derksen, Saskatoon.
Melissa is an RN in the RUH
pediatric department. Cody was
employed with framing houses
in Kelowna, BC. Since cupid
struck, he is doing the same
work in Saskatoon. Wedding
bells are pending.
A correction for last week is
that Ken Fast, Carrot River, is not
the nephew of Bruce Schmidt.
Ken is our nephew.
In 1949, Elsie and Alex
Sokalofsky, parents to Karla
(Brian) Braun were married in
Saskatoon. On May 2, their 60th
anniversary with family, mostly
from Saskatoon, was held in
the Laird Community Hall where
decorations depicted their lives.
A family picture numbering 17
children was taken. A delicious
supper prepared by Karla
and children was enjoyed by
approximately 65 people. The
program had a lot of singing,
with many tributes given. A
power point presentation with
background music took the
audience down the sentimental
journey of life.
The celebration was a time
of thanksgiving, overcoming the
ups and downs of living.
Katlyn, daughter of Bev
and Dave Loewen, and Eliese,
daughter of Karla and Brian
Braun and 15 other Waldheim
high schoolers are back from a
hectic 12 day trip to Italy. Joining
this group were students from
California, Wisconsin and Rhode
Island. The EF tour also had
chaperones, parents and guides.
Our group flew from Saskatoon
to Toronto, then onto Milan,
Italy.
On the sightseeing agenda
was Florence, Pompeii – the
city destroyed in AD 79 by the
lava eruption of Mount Vesuvius,
the coliseum, the leaning tower
of Pisa, the Vatican in Rome
and many cathedrals with their
elaborate painted ceilings.
There were also sites of the
mighty Roman Empire, many
only used for tourists, with the
Vatican being the most active.
Entertainment this week in
Laird will have Jim Andres and his
musicians at the New Horizons
tomorrow, May 7, at 7:30 pm.
At the Mennonite Fellowship
Hall, Abe Koop’s brother, Bill,
and their nephew are putting
on a concert on Friday, May
8 at 7:30 pm. Admission is by
donation, with some funds going
to the New Horizons. Come and
enjoy.
Pastor Bruce entitled his
Sunday morning message “What
Place for us Sheep,” based on
the good shepherd story in John
10. Bruce described the not so
good character of sheep and
the positive, humble way they
follow a shepherd. Jesus, he
said, claimed the name “I Am” of
God in being good shepherds of
sheep who are special and loved
by God. We are the gentiles,
Bruce claimed, the other sheep
must be brought into the fold
and then witness to others the
love of Christ.
The yearly event “Who’s
Coming to Dinner?” with deacons
Stuart Epp and Paul Martens
and their wives organizing it, had
75 participating. It is a good way
to get to know the congregation.
This year, a good number of
young couples did the hosting.
Remember the garage sales
in Laird, which will be held on
Saturday, May 9. Somebody’s
trash is somebody’s treasure.
The hall association is holding
its annual strawberry social that
day as well.
The Mennonite Heritage
Museum, Rosthern, annual
meeting was held April 23 at
the Rosthern Seniors’ Centre,
with 42 people in attendance.
The museum is housed in the
1910 red brick building on
the RJC campus. Lorne Epp,
chairperson of the board, led
a brief meeting, reporting that
we need to continue to maintain
the museum, being open to
visitors from May long to early
September, and encourage
anyone to call the advertised
numbers in the Visitor’s Guide
to visit at alternate times. The
constitution is being revised,
striving to maintain the integrity
of the museum. The annual
cleanup day is scheduled for
Monday, May 11 at 9:00 am.
Volunteers are welcome.
Following reports by the
treasurer and curator, a 43
minute DVD from MCC
Saskatchewan was shown to the
group. “Remembering Russia,
1914-1927” by Otto Klassen
was close to the hearts of many
attenders. Frank Derksen told
how he was on the first train
out of Russia in 1923, coming
to Rosthern as a five year old
boy with his parents and family.
Others observed buildings that
had been their grandparents
home in the Ukraine. A coffee
and visiting time followed. Thank
you to all who took time to
attend.
Have a good week. Farmers
get the good seed in the ground
and the gardens need planting.
SaskPower Shand Greenhouse
gives away free tree seedlings
On May 6 and 7,
Saskatchewan residents can
visit any one of SaskPower’s
29 customer service offices
to receive a free Colorado
Blue Spruce seedling. Free
seedlings will also be available
at non-SaskPower locations
in Creighton, Esterhazy and
Ile-a-la-Crosse.
“I
encourage
all
Saskatchewan
residents
to take advantage of the
opportunity to help protect
the environment by planting
a tree,” said Ken Cheveldayoff,
minister of crown corporations.
Every year, the SaskPower
Shand Greenhouse, which
operates on waste heat from
the Shand Power Station near
Estevan, grows nearly 50,000
tree, grass and shrub seedlings
for use in conservation and land
reclamation planting projects
across the province.
“The Shand Greenhouse
seedling programs, including
the customer giveaway, are part
of SaskPower’s commitment
to encourage conservation
as part of our larger efforts to
offset the impact of fossil fuel
fired electricity generation,”
said acting SaskPower
Shand Greenhouse Manager
Shelley Heidinger.
For a complete list of
SaskPower customer service
office locations, visit www.
