Trees, shrubs at Memorial Park
The Cameron and Bourdages Memorial Society Inc
took a huge step forward in
their project to construct a
Memorial Park in Spiritwood.
A group of volunteers was
out in full force May 24,
when they planted about
50 trees and shrubs at the
Park.
The Park is located between the Tourist Information Booth and the Campground. The area had been
levelled and prepared for
planting. A rough design of
the Park was laid out to assist the volunteers in locating the trees.
The group had aimed at
this spring to have “visible
progress” at the Park since
this is the tenth anniversary
of the passing of Cst Robin
Cameron and Cst Marc
Bourdages.
To that end, the Memorial Society is holding two
events to commemorate the
anniversary. First is a 5km
Fun Run on July 5. Entry
fee for that one is $50, and
pledge forms are available
at the RCMP, Town of Spiritwood, Witchekan Lake
Band Office and Pelican
Lake Band Office.
The next event takes place
the next day beginning at
11:00 am. Activities include
a pipe ceremony, a feast,
cadet drills, speakers and
presentations, rounddance, Lis Willick and Frances Weber were on shovels, while Don Willick and Justin Duret were on the Bobcat. They were among a group
and a lantern and balloon of volunteers who planted roughly 50 trees and shrubs at the Memorial Park in late May.

OPINION
June 24, 2016
“Gun control ...
from the sidelines”
Every time there is a mass shooting in the Excited States,
the topic of gun control rears its ugly head and the denizens
of the southern republic are thrown head-first into the debate.
Only, it’s not really a debate. What we’ve heard so far, ad
infinitum, is virtually all heat and no light. The presidential
race in that country will only add to the heat, offering little
that’s going to drum some sense
into the right people.
Looking at the issue of gun control from the standpoint of a lawabiding Canadian, it’s easy to see
what works. Background checks,
for starters. Courses in gun safety.
Firearms Acquisition Certificates.
And other things like that.
I’ve never had the right to own
a gun guaranteed in my country’s
constitution, and it doesn’t really
bother me. I know that I can purchase a gun. Probably. I may have

check, which doesn’t scare me in
the least. Once I’ve been approved,
I’ll be given an FAC, and the only
thing stopping me from purchasing a weapon is the cost of
buying one.
And I likely won’t go through all that. I’m not a hunter
or target shooter, and the whole concept of owning a gun
doesn’t interest me.
Guns, and other weapons, fit into three categories in Canada: prohibited, restricted, and approved. The categories
make sense. We’re not allowed to own certain weapons, and
the owning of another group of weapons comes with some
restrictions surrounding their acquisition and use, and others are OK to purchase, own, and use.
It all makes sense.
Why can’t the Americans see that? To me, they are blinded by the Second Amendment of their constitution, which
gives citizens the “right to bear arms”. They interpret that
as a right to buy a gun with few restrictions about who and
under what circumstances they are allowed to do so.
The law-abiding citizens, armed with whatever strikes
their particular fancy, always like to raise the prospect of being able to defend themselves should the need arise, and will
advance the argument that the mass shooting at the Orlando
nightclub wouldn’t have happened if patrons were packing.
Maybe a couple of casualties, but certainly not 49 dead and
another 50-some wounded.
And Sandy Hook wouldn’t have happened if teachers had
guns.
And if you take away guns, the bad people don’t need them
anyway. Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer to blow up the
Oklahoma City Federal Building in 1995, killing 168 and injuring some 600 others.
The gun-advocates say that even McVeigh could have been
stopped if a citizen with a gun would have run into him before he had the chance to light the fuse to the truck bomb.
Their solution to gun violence is to give everyone a gun.
Probably a better solution would be to first of all, restrict
the kinds of guns that are legal, and then to restrict the people from owning guns if it can’t be shown that they will be
responsible with them. For example, anyone who is or has
been on the FBI’s watch list should not be permitted to own
or purchase a gun. Anyone who has committed a felony using a weapon shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun.
I believe Canada’s now-defunct long-gun registry wasn’t
a bad idea, but it sure wasn’t run the right way. Rather
than charge people twenty dollars to register each gun they
owned, they should have been paying gun owners twenty
dollars apiece to register them. More people would have
gladly signed up.
But this whole issue will not go away, not in the short term,
and probably not in the long. The best we can hope for is to
get a little bit of enlightened argument in the debate, and not
just the heat. From all sides.

Quite some time ago, industry found that if you

status of the domestic food supply that industry,
supported by the Department of Agriculture, is
giving us.
Now, don’t get me wrong.
The logic part is that there isn’t
much logic in the “Leap Manifesto” now being explored by the
federal NDP. In fact, it’s rather
nuts, starting with its rush to end
all fossil fuel usage and to abandon large-scale commercialized
farming in favour of boutique

farming).
Wall is right that such notions
can be beaten with facts. And it
is fact that converting Canada to
a carbon-less economy would be
ridiculously unaffordable.
It is also a fact that it makes
more sense for Canadians to build
pipelines _ especially the Canada

from Saudi Arabia.
But let’s face it: This Leap Manifesto notion is not going anywhere.

life. Our lives are full of
anxiety, stress and impatience. We look for instant
fixes to our stress levels,
medical problems and
lack of patience. Perhaps
what we should be doing
is pausing, re-evaluating
our priorities and taking
the time for those simple
pleasures in life that will
reduce stress and recharge
our batteries.
Gardening is one of
those simple pleasures
that continues to bring
great satisfaction to people
of any age.
It is a passion for many
and an enjoyable pastime
for others. There are no
restrictions on gardening
– you can be young or old,
sick or healthy. Gardening
is also an effective therapy
that adds contentment,
pleasure and joy to your
everyday life. Often gardening means hard work
which leads to sore muscles and tired backs but
overshadowing all of these
temporary ailments is the
ability that gardening has
to soothe your soul.
In the summer season,
the therapy is easy to access as gardening is simple
when the climate cooperates. In the winter months
however, you need not
give up your therapy – you
just need to be a bit more
creative. Students at SSH
learn and practice horticulture therapy throughout their schooling. This
program is beneficial to
those who participate but
also to the student body.
Interestingly
enough,
there is also very apparent
benefit to those delivering
the program. In the words
of one student: “Doing the
horticulture therapy program has changed my life!”
As far as horticulture
therapy goes, any activity
is fine as long as you remember that horticultural
therapy utilizes plants
and gardens to promote
social,
psychological,
physical and intellectual
well-being.
The benefits include
physical activity, relaxation, social interaction,
a feeling of productivity
and self-satisfaction not
to mention a spiritual
connection with life. Horticultural therapy is practiced in the home, in our
schools, in special care
facilities and involves an
endless array of special
needs groups.
Therapy need not be
realized just in a traditional therapy programs.
Exploring that link between the soil, plants and
our inner souls can be
done in a variety of ways.
The Saskatoon School
of Horticulture is ready
once again to contribute
to the well-being of those
interested by offering a
therapy program that also
gives you knowledge and
experience exploring the
benefits of working with
flowers. There are a number of summer classes,
kids camps and programs
available to anyone and
everyone regardless of the
skill level. Please go to our

AGRICULTURE
Spiritwood Herald 7
Maintaining bloodlines and crop strains important
One thing I’ve held an interest in for years is the
preservation of bloodlines, and plant lines in agriculture.
That is why I respect the efforts of groups such as
Rare Breeds Canada (rarebreedscanada.org). I understand certain breeds have risen to prominence today
because they excel under current conditions
for raisOn Agriculture
ing them.
But it is also quite clear there are movements within
consumers themselves and within the industry on a
larger scale, seen clearly in the direction being taken
by a number of restaurant chains, to look for product
coming out of alternate production systems.
Alternate production systems may well be better
suited to animal breeds, or crop systems, which today
are not widely raised.
Maintaining important bloodlines and crop strains
because they might one day find favour again just
makes too much sense not to do.
It is much the same thinking for me in terms of native species.
The world is lessened each time a species is lost.
With extinction the ability to draw on the specific
traits of the species are gone forever.
We sometimes tend to forget our common crops to-
Calvin
Daniels
day originated from wild species
of plants at one time.
Ditto for our domestic animals.
Maintaining native species is
very much a way to bank genetic
material which may one day have
properties we find a way to utilize
in important ways, whether it is to
transfer a trait which might introduce salinity tolerance into an exCALVIN
isting farm crop, or whether some
compound in the plant is found to
DANIELS
be medicinal. The potential of fu~
ture science to utilize plants and
animals today not seen as useful
is certainly there, but can only be
achieved if the plants and animals are preserved.
Preservation of native species starts with awareness and having solid legislation to ensure protection,
which is where government plays a role.
So it is a positive each year when the Saskatchewan
government proclaims Native Prairie Appreciation
Week, this year June 12-18.
A government release noted Native Prairie Appreciation Week is unique to Saskatchewan and is cel-
ebrated each year in partnership with Saskatchewan
Prairie Conservation Action Plan (SK PCAP). The
week is dedicated to raising awareness and appreciation of our native prairie ecosystems.
“Saskatchewan agriculture producers recognize the
role they play as stewards of the land,” said Agriculture
Minister Lyle Stewart in the release. “As stewards,
they understand the importance of protecting our native prairie plant and wildlife for future generations
by using sustainable land management practices.”
“Native grasslands are an important part of our
province, and that is why their conservation is a priority,” said Environment Minister Herb Cox in the same
release. “Native prairie ecosystems sustain healthy
fish and wildlife populations and contribute to the
quality of life in Saskatchewan.”
“Ranchers, producers and land managers provide
suitable habitat for many species at risk as a result
of responsible land stewardship,” SK PCAP Manager
Kayla Balderson Burak said. “They play an important
role in the conservation and sustainable management
of these diverse prairie landscapes.”
Who knows, the plant species such efforts protect
today, could be important in ways not yet thought of
in the years ahead.
Water quality on pasture
by Jenifer Heyden,
PAg
Regional Livestock
Specialist,
North Battleford
Regional Services
Branch
Saskatchewan
Ministry of Ag
All livestock require five
basic nutrients including
protein, energy, vitamins,
minerals and water. Water is one of the most important nutrients for livestock as it is required for
a variety of body functions
which include but are not
limited to growth, reproduction, lactation, digestion, metabolism, excretion of waste, regulation
of body temperature and
lubrication of joints. When
water intake is restricted
or only poor quality water is available, health and
performance
decreases
substantially.
Livestock
water intake depends on
availability, odor and taste,
acidity, hardness, mineral content and chemical properties such as the
presence of heavy metals,
pesticides, excess sulphur
or nitrates and biological contaminants such as
bacteria and algae.Water
quality is determined and
affected by three main factors:
• Chemical composition
– toxic chemicals (such as
heavy metals, pesticides),
minerals (such as sulphate,
nitrate), and microorganisms (bacteria, algae)
• Physiochemical prop-
erties – pH, total dissolved
solids (TDS) and hardness
• Odor/taste
In addition to wells, dugouts, sloughs, springs and
creeks are often used as
water sources for livestock.
A number of factors affect
the quality of water from
such sources. Nutrient
loading from runoff, little
to no recharge from a dry
spring, and subsurface soil
or water salinity are some
examples. Also, when animals have direct access
to these water sources,
the risk for reduced quality and greater contamination increases. Common surface water quality
problems in Saskatchewan
can include cyanobacteria
(blue-green algae), bacteria, viruses and parasites,
sulphates and TDS. Common groundwater quality
problems can include sulphates TDS, nitrates, iron
and manganese.
Often
livestock
are
turned out on summer
pasture and allowed to
help themselves at these
water sources. However,
allowing direct access
is a concern to producers, other water users and
the livestock themselves.
Keeping livestock out of
water sources improves
water quality, improves
animal health and improves bottom line. With
direct access, there may
be damage to the banks of
dugouts and streams, nutrient build-up, and rapid
growth of weeds and algae.
Direct access can lead to
herd health problems such
as blue green algae poisoning, foot rot and reduced
rates of gain. Research has
shown that cattle getting
clean water from a trough
or stock tank can gain anywhere from three to 20
percent better than those
drinking directly from the
water source. This is likely
due to the fact that clean
water from a remote watering system is more palatable, which leads to higher
and faster water consumption, resulting in higher
forage and feed intake,
higher nutrient absorption
and higher rates of gain.
Restricting direct access to dugouts not only
extends the life of the dugout by reducing trampling
and collapsing of banks, it
also allows forage growth
which helps to trap nutrient run off. Restricting
access also reduces the
amount of feces and urine
that enter the water.There
are many alternatives to
direct watering including
access ramps, animal operated pumps, stock tanks
equipped with gas/solar
or wind powered pumps,
watering bowls or troughs
and pipelines. It is not
necessary to fence the water source off completely.
Livestock can still go to
the source in the event that
the tank runs dry. In most
cases livestock will choose
clean water and solid footing over tromping in the
mud at the source. Some
producers are eligible for
funding to install a remote
watering system, pasture
pipeline or livestock well.
Please check www.saskatchewan.caand search
for “farm and ranch water
infrastructure program”
for more information.
An annual water test can
be a very useful tool for
livestock producers. Water
testing services are pro-
vided by the Saskatchewan
Disease Control Laboratory. For information on
sampling, tests provided,
and submissions check out
www.saskatchewan.ca and
search for “water testing”.

your water test results, or
questions about what parameters to test, contact

Flexible education program pays off for Schira
Craig Schira was raised in
Spiritwood, played his minor
hockey in Spiritwood, took
much of his education in Spiritwood. Despite moving to
Saskatoon with his family some
years ago, Craig is still considered a “Spiritwood Boy”. Currently, he is playing professional
hockey in Sweden, and ha been
working toward a degree from
Athabasca University. Recently,
he was profiled in a two-part
article, including an interview,
that we are pleased to reprint
here, with the kind permission
of Athabasca University. Craig
Schira started studying with AU
back in 2008, when he enrolled
in entrepreneurial studies. Then
a WHL player for the Vancouver
Giants, Craig was one of the
first WHL players to “officially”
study with us. He has continued
his studies over the years and, is
now, just one course shy of receiving his university certificate
in Management Foundations.
Considering the places he
has played, Craig’s studies have
adapted to his environment.
Hockey rink, hotel room, or on
the bus between games, Craig
has thoroughly enjoyed the
flexibility that online education at AU has afforded him.
His hockey career has included
seasons in the WHL, the American Hockey League (AHL), the
Finnish Elite League, and the
Championship Hockey League
in Sweden (where he currently
plays for Lulea SF).
And, as he gets closer to completing that certificate program,
he’s learning even more about
balance—he and his wife are
expecting their second child in
May.
Fittingly, in between games
during Lulea SF’s run in the
playoffs, Craig was able to answer a few questions for us via
email. AU: How did you get
involved with Athabasca University? Where were you living
when you enrolled? Did you
start while you were a Regina
Pat?
CS: I got involved with Atha-
basca when I was playing my
final year of junior hockey
for the Vancouver Giants. My
roommate and I were told about
AU and we thought it would
be a good idea to get involved.
Neither of us really knew if it
would be something that we
would continue with, but we
both signed up for a small business management course and
worked through it together.
AU: Where are some of the
places you have studied?
CS: I have worked on my
courses in many different
places, over the years. Where
I do my work depends on the
travel schedule of the team that
I am playing on. For example, I
played in Finland for two years
and the travel schedule was very
easy compared to some other
places. Most games usually required just a short bus ride to
the games so there wasn’t much
time spent in airports or hotel
rooms. However, currently I am
playing in Northern Sweden.
We spend a lot of time on the
road, so you will often see me
reading a textbook, or notes on
my phone, in the airport or in
hotels. In terms of writing exams, it takes a lot of planning
to find places to write exams at
approved AU locations. It is not
always easy to set up but, fortunately, it has worked out so far.
I have written exams in Oslo,
Norway; Helsinki; Finland;
Binghamton; New York; Sweden, and, of course, in Canada.
AU: What were the primary
differences in your relationship with education at the start
of your certificate coursework,
versus now? How has your
mentality changed?
CS: I think when I first began
my studies, it was more of just
“something to do,” and I wasn’t
really sure what I wanted from
it. I knew it was important, but
I wasn’t sure it was something I
wanted to continue with, or see
through to the end. That aspect
has changed. I think now that I
have a family, and understand
that hockey doesn’t last forever,
it puts things into perspective. I
see how important it is to have a
back-up plan of some kind. I am
not at the end of my career, but I
understand that hockey can end
at any point.
AU: What was the choice like
to leave the AHL and head to
Europe? Did you worry about
completing your education at
all, at this point?
CS: Leaving for Europe was a
big change for my wife and me.
It can obviously be very scary to
pick up and leave something so
familiar, to go somewhere that
you know very little about. But
after discussions with my wife
and my agent, we decided that
a move to Europe was the best
move for us.
The style of game is better
suited to the way I play; it provides a great family lifestyle and
allows us to see the world. At the
time that I left for Europe, I really wasn’t sure if I even wanted
to continue my education—how
hard I wanted to push it—or
how difficult it would be to continue overseas. But, overall, it
has been a smooth transition
and with a little extra planning
and organization, I have been
able to continue with it.
AU: Speaking of professional
athletes…What are the realities
like for professional athletes
pursuing higher education?
In your history, for example,
what has the mentality of your
friends/teammates been about
education? A lot of conversation
happens around whether athletes have a back-up plan after
their athletic careers end—did
that entice you to start on your
certificate?
CS: Like anyone pursing a
higher education while juggling
the demands of a career, it can
be very time-consuming and
challenging. For me, as a professional athlete, it is important
that while I continue my studies
I don’t let it interfere with my
career. My number-one priority right now is providing for
my family—and it is hockey that
will currently do that.
Craig Schira is one class shy of a degree through Athabasca University, despite
being a full time professional hockey player playing in an elite league in Sweden. He is originally from Spiritwood.
I can’t speak for everyone,
but I think it is a little bit mixed
with each team I am on. I am
sure there are lots of guys that
have no interest in an education
but, then again, there are some
guys that are very aware of its
importance and are pursuing it.
And then there are some guys
that don’t know it is an option.
I think it is important to have
a back-up plan of some sort, as
hockey can end at any point.
Personally, I don’t have a specific plan for when I am done
playing, but I feel like a higher
education will open up opportunities for me that would be a
worthwhile investment.
I think now that I have a
family, and understand that
hockey doesn’t last forever, it
puts things into perspective. I
see how important it is to have a
back-up plan of some kind. I am
not at the end of my career, but I
understand that hockey can end
at any point.” ~ Craig Schira,
professional hockey player, and
current Athabasca University
student.
AU: Do some athletes often
simply not pursue education because they find access difficult?
How has AU allowed you to pursue what others are not able to?
What has been the most valuable part of your online education?
CS: I think an awareness that
there are programs available
that cater to those who are in
an unpredictable profession,
such as athletes, is important.
If guys have questions about my
studies, I try and encourage it,
and let them know that education is accessible and available
to them.
I have learned so much over
the years about my education.
There are some days where I
feel like maybe I can’t do it, or
I feel like quitting, but it has
taught me to persevere. Also, I
wasn’t the greatest high school
student, but I have been able to
be very successful at the university level. I think this proved to
me that I can do anything I set
my mind to. Believing in yourself and your abilities is truly
the most important aspect of
succeeding in what you do.
AU: What has the pursuit of
professional hockey taught you
about life? What has it taught
you about pursuing your education?
CS: Hockey has been an
amazing journey so far, and
I am so thankful I have been
able to pursue this as a career.
It has given my family and
me so much. I have met many
great people—from coaches,
teammates, and fans—and all
the valuable lessons they have
taught me about life, and about
myself. Hockey has given me
the opportunity to work together with others to reach a
common goal, and to also fight
through adversity. Along with
discipline and sacrifice, these
things have benefitted me in my
education as well; I have faced
a lot of the same internal challenges in hockey as I have in my
education.
AU: What has been the most
difficult part of your educational journey?
CS: The most difficult part of
my educational journey is time
management. I have a twoyear-old son, and another one
on the way in May, and, as any
parent will tell you, it keeps you
busy.
Trying to balance hockey,
family life, and education is a
challenge—but it is something
that I am learning and improving at, as I continue on this journey.
Hockey has given me the opportunity to work together with
others, to reach a common goal
and, also to fight through adversity. Along with discipline
and sacrifice, these things have
benefitted me in my education
as well; I have faced a lot of the
same internal challenges in
hockey as I have in my education.”
AU: Any advice for AU students?
CS: Find the discipline to
stay consistent; take advantage
of the student support systems
offered in the courses; stay organized and manage your time;
and, lastly: each course is a process, so ensure that you understand the concepts before moving on to a new lesson—because
you will usually end up missing
something important that you
will need to then go back and
learn.

Area athletes at SHSAA provincials
Medstead Central School won the Kirkpatrick award at the
Battle West District Track and Field Championships. The
award goes to the school with the best ratio of points to student
population.
Medstead, Leoville and Spiritwood sent over a dozen athletes to the 2016 SHSA A Track
and Field Championships in
Regina June 3-4.
Despite not finishing in the
medals, most could be content
with some personal best performances.
Some fourteen in all, they
were part of the Battle West
team that played hard, but finished in the bottom half of the
fourteen Districts.
The top finishers were the
Hill brothers, Josh and Dawson, from Medstead Central.
Josh was 5th in Senior Discus
with a throw of 38.16 m, while
younger brother Dawson was
6th in Midget Boys Javelin with
a 38.42 m toss. He was a mere
five cm out of 5th, but needed
to beat 40.23 to earn a medal.
Charm Henderson also had a
5th place finish, with a 1.50 m
in the Junior Girls High Jump.
She was close to medaling, as
the bronze medal went at 1.55
m and the gold at 1.59. She also
competed in Long Jump, Hurdles and Triple Jump.
Randi Siemens was 7th in Se-
nor Girls Discus with a throw of
27.76 m. She also competed in
Javelin.
Other Medstead athletes included: Mikki Orange (Junior
Girls Discus), Marshal Egeland
(Midget Boys Shot Put), Kyle
Knot (Junior Boys 800 m), Steven Ramsay (Senor Boys Hurdles, High Jump), Ben Ramsay
(Senior Boys Shot Put), Paynton
Kohl (Senior Girls High Jump
and 200 m.)
Spiritwood High sent four to
Provincials: Carson McNabb
(Midget Boys 3000 m), Brock
Simonar (Junior Boys 400 m),
Devyn Thompson (Junior Boys
Discus) and Brett Reddekopp
(Senior Boys Quadrathlon).
Leoville Central had four
competing: Lainee Zaparaniuk
(Senior Girls Shot Put), Montana Gardiner (Midget Girls
400 m), and Daymon Lepage
(Senior Boys Javelin).
All these athletes earned
their spot on the District team
by virtue of first and second
place finishes in their respective events at the Battle West
District Track Meet two weeks
earlier.

Five and six generations
When David and Janet Martodam made a
recent visit to the Spiritwood and Shell Lake
areas, they were able to take a few multigenerational photos that will be special entries in the family photo albums.
The first is a five-generation photo featuring David’s mother, Ione Martodam. The
second is a six-generation picture with Janet’s grandmother, Tena Shock, and mother,
Phyllis Melton.
The common elements to both photos begin with their daughter, Jennifer Dileone
and her son Josh with his baby Charlotte.
Kaylee Sawatsky and Sarah Anderson play for the U16 Prince Albert Aces softball team. Spiritwood Scotiabank held a barbecue to help the girls raise funds
to assist with travel expenses. “The barbecue was very successful and we are
very happy with all the support we got from the community,” said Kaylee.
Kaylee Sawatsky and Sarah Anderson
could tell everyone a little bit about winning. So far, the duo and their softball team,
the U16 Prince Albert Aces, have won gold
at three tournaments and bronze at another.
The tournaments involve a lot of travel, and therefore a lot of expense. So far,
though, they have had some excellent community support in their drive to pay some of
the bills.
Some of that support comes from Spiritwood Scotiabank, who hosted a burger sale
recently to help the two raise some funds.
There is another Spiritwood connection to
the team, though, one that makes it a nobrainer that Scotiabank will be onside.
Brent Kennedy is one of their coaches, and
Brent is husband to Melody Kennedy. Melody is a former manager of the Spiritwood
Scotiabank, and the two were on hand at the
barbecue to help feed the throngs of local
people who came out for a burger and to lend
their support to Spiritwood’s Aces.
“Sarah and I have been playing for the
Aces for 5 years now,” Kaylee said. “Our
team is a ‘B’ level team and we enjoy playing
every minute of it.”
The team began with a gold medal win in
Saskatoon, and added gold in Regina and
the bronze in Saskatoon.
Their third tournament win came this
past weekend in Moose Jaw.
Next on the agenda is Melfort over the
Canada Day weekend, followed by Provincials in Regina July 15-17.
The winner of Provincials goes to the
Western Canadian Championships in Edmonton at the end of July.

Main Street officials visit
On June 9th and 10th,
Main Street Spiritwood
hosted a team of important visitors. The team included Merinda Conley of
Community Design Strategies (contracted by Main
Street Saskatchewan), Prat
Das of Tourism Saskatchewan, and Brant Hryhorczuk and Marvin Thomas
of the Ministry of Parks,
Culture and Sport.
The purpose of their visit was to review the progress of Main Street Spiritwood and to celebrate
our successes. The group
took part in a tour of Main
Street where they found
great people, items, and
experiences. At Piper’s
Lake Quilt Shop, Diane
Roberts taught the four
how a long-arm quilting
machine works and all the
little facts about quilting
retreats and the potential for economic spin off.
When the group visited
Hujber’s Market on Main,
they were very impressed
with all of the local products that Spiritwood has
to offer. They happily went
on their way with Aumack
Haskap Berry syrup and
Bogart’s Bay coffee.
On day two of their visit, the group visited the
Spiritwood Public Library
where librarian Joyce
June 24, 2016
Officials from the Main Street Saskatchewan program look over pictures of
Spiritwood’s Main Street in years past.
Carriere showed them
historic photos of Spiritwood’s Main Street. They
were delighted to see what
our Main Street used to
look like and how elements from the past could
be used in modern day.
Throughout the two day
visit, they visited most
businesses and held one-
on-one visits with several
business owners.
The Main Street FourPoint Approach is a community driven, self-help
approach to downtown
revitalization that can be
described as economic development in the context
of heritage conservation.
The strength of the Main
Street Approach is its ability to leverage local assets,
mobilize community capacity, and focus attention
on all aspects of downtown and the revitalization through community
organization,
economic
restructuring, marketing/
promotion, and design/
heritage conservation.

Synthetic
motor oil?
(NC) Synthetic oil is not
mainly for high-end vehicles
anymore, say auto maintenance specialists. This quality oil blend has become a
norm.
“Synthetic motor oil delivers the highest level of lubrication, engine cleanliness
and long-term protection,”
says Gary Bilski, chief engineer at Fram, a leading brand
in oil and filters. “It contains
additives that reduce wear
and help to prevent deposits
and sludge from forming.”
Just like the oil protects the
engine, a hard-working filter
protects the oil, Bilski points
out.
Best Burger Bar
(NC) Spice up any grilling recipe by upgrading your
condiments with simple flavor combinations.
Ingredients:
Smoky Ketchup
• 1/2 cup Ketchup
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika or
chipotle powder
• 2 to 4 drops Worcestershire sauce
Maple-Sesame Mustard
• 1/2 cup Mustard
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
Secret Burger Sauce
• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Sweet Green Relish
