Artisan Tour offers up-close experience with art
From pottery to wood sculptures, to glass and
even little clay monsters, this year’s Parkland
Artisan Tour had a little something for anybody
with even a passing interest in diving deep into
the local arts and culture scene.
The three-day affair, which celebrated its 10th
year from June 26 to 28, featured a gathering
of uniquely talented artists and artisans from as
close as Parkside, Leask and Shellbrook, and as
far away as Saskatoon and La Ronge.
Following tradition, the Tour kicked off with
the final Hootenanny on the Hill, hosted Friday
evening at the Riverview Arts venue. The evening included music, dancing and merriment,
as the flames from the pottery pit roared to life.
The next morning, the tour began, attracting
locals and tourists alike. But the Artisan Tour is
much more than just a valuable opportunity for
artists to showcase and sell their works. For it
also gives visitors a first-hand experience with
the arts, through intimate demonstrations by
the artists themselves. Along Shellbrook’s Main
Street, passersby were able to mix history with
art at the Shellbrook & District Heritage Museum, by listening to stories about the community and perusing a vast collection of artifacts.
Meanwhile, next door at the Senior’s Hall, five
artists had set up their works.
Sylvia Jones displayed expertly-crafted pottery, Shirley Cromarty had quilts to showcase,
and Dianne Murphy offered demonstrations
of the art of needle felting and wet felting. Laureen Donaldson had bead work on display,
while Rod Peterson showcased a wide variety
of woodwork.
Taking a short drive north of town offered art
lovers opportunities to browse Pat Grayston’s
pottery and art work, and receive a throwing instruction from her. Madelaine Walker offered
a demonstration on spinning and weaving with
flax, while Anna Waldbilling had a large collection of clothes on display, and Richard Stieb
was able to share his works, including jewellery
made from horns and antlers.
Heading south on the Wingard Ferry Road,
there were two brief stops to make. Things
heated up in glass blower Ron Anderson’s
workshop, when he demonstrated his own
craft by blowing glass balls and paperweights.
A few lucky volunteers were able to assist in the
process. To the west, Chris Dansereau offered
demonstrations in the art of woodcarving and
wood turning, and had a diverse collection of
works on display and for sale.
Taking the back roads to Parkside, art tourists could enjoy the area’s scenery before stopping in at Honeywood Nursery. Attractions
at this venue (aside from the beautiful lilies,
of course) included Ruby Hannigan and Barb
Grimm’s bees wax candles and honey-based
goodies, Art Jones’ wood work, and Carol Hofferd’s stained glass pieces.
The final stop on the tour was Evergreen
Turning, where tourists could visit wood turner
Doug Peake displays his wood turning skills while creating an expertly-crafted spinning top.
Doug Peake and photo manipulator and designer Beryl Peake, who set up their own venue
for the first time this year.
Doug, who has been with the tour for three
years at its Honeywood venue, says he first got
involved with the tour after hearing about it
through word of mouth. Living close to Parkside at the time, Doug saw the Parkland Artisan
Tour as yet another opportunity to showcase
his work.
The decision to open his own venue, however, was one of convenience, he says, as it was
much easier to host demonstrations from his
shop, than it was to lug his heavy equipment to
other locations.
Doug has worked with wood for 30 years
now, and he uses his lathe to craft toys like spinning tops, and bird houses. But his relationship
with wood didn’t begin with wood turning.
“ I was a logger for years before that. I spent a
lot of years on the West Coast. When that kind
of slowed down, I got into finishing carpentry.
Once I got started in that, I dropped everything
else,” he said. “ I worked on the west coast and
lived there for a long time. I had my own gallery
and 12 stores I sold to. I’d make about 1,500
pieces a year.”
Now that he’s semi-retired, Doug says he
crafts only a couple hundred of pieces each
year, and that sitka spruce and yellow cedar are
two of his favourite woods to work with.
While Doug has been a tour member for
years, this was Beryl’s first year participating as
an artisan. She, however, says she was talked
into by close friends and family.
A lover of photography and nature, Beryl has
been able to mix that skill with modern technology to create unique designs with old photos.
With another year’s tour done, visitors were
able to gather at Riverview Arts once again for
the unloading of the fire pit.

Wildfires ravage northern Saskatchewan
causing smoke to blanket province
A pall of thickening smoke
hung over Shellbrook and
much of the province Monday morning, as provincial fire
crews continued to battle multiple wildfires in the La Loche
and La Ronge areas of northern Saskatchewan.
According to executive director of wildfire management
Steve Roberts, who spoke to
reporters along with other
government officials during a
Monday morning conference
call, the most pressing threat
is from the 7,400-hectare
Crysto fire, which is burning
near Weyakwin.
As of Monday morning, the
blaze remained uncontained,
and Roberts said that with
more dry warm weather in the
forecast, containment seems
unlikely as crews adapt to the
ever-changing conditions.
“It’s pretty dynamic. Our
priorities shift as we go,” he
explained. “Our focus is on doing whatever it takes to protect
people in communities and
infrastructure. Later on the
question will be wrapping our
arms around some of these
fires in a big way.”
The wildfires have led to
evacuation orders for communities across Northern Saskatchewan, including Weyak-
win, Montreal Lake, Wadin
Bay, Nemeiben, Grandmothers Bay, Sucker River and
English River, among others.
All told, it’s estimated that
more than 3,000 people have
been displaced, taking shelter
in government and red cross
facilities and hotels in Prince
Albert, Saskatoon and other
cities in the province. But this
figure doesn’t include people
who have taken refuge with
their families, as the government is unable to track those
who haven’t requested assistance. Thousands more evacuees are expected to arrive in
Saskatoon, Regina and other
locations as the wildfires continue.
So far, this year has been a
busy one for provincial crews,
who have had to contend with
510 fires to date – a marked
increase over last year’s total
of 186 by this time. A hot and
dry spring, followed by a hot
June and a sudden increase in
lightning activity has exacerbated the problem.
According to Roberts, 116
of the 510 fires are still active.
Additionally, 47 fires are in
excess of 100 hectares, and 40
fires are currently classified as
uncontained.
To help crews deal with the
ongoing situation, the province has had to turn to other
provinces for assistance with
the situation in the north.
“We have more than 550
direct personnel on the lines
fighting fires, and more than
55 aircraft directly involved
in fire suppression,” said Roberts.
“We’ve already reached out
across Canada. We have a
group of amphibious tankers
from Quebec and another arriving from Newfoundland.
We just briefed and started
to deploy personnel from Ontario, who will back up our
grounds crews by putting up
values protection and fighting
some of these fires,” he added,
noting that, if required, the
province could seek additional
assistance from the U.S.
Joining Roberts on the call,
commissioner of emergency
management and fire safety
Duane McKay reported that
communities like Montreal
Lake and Sucker River continue to face direct fire threats.
Though the effects of the
blazes are being felt throughout the province, McKay said
that they are still seen as community emergencies, rather
than a provincial state of
emergency. He added that the
government will continue to
coordinate its efforts on a daily
basis, while working closely
with local leaders and health
officials.
“[The situation] continues
to expand, and probably will
until we see a change in weather conditions in the north,” he
said.
Apart from evacuations, and
air quality advisories issued
by Environment Canada, the
wildfires have also resulted
in a number of highway closures, due to reduced visibility in areas heavily affected by
smoke. Ministry of Highways
spokesman Joel Cherry said
that closures are currently in
place on sections of Highways
2, 102, 914, 916, 927, 955 and
969. Travel to the La Ronge
and La Loche areas is strongly
discouraged, and Highways
crews have been assisting
drivers out of them.
To help reduce the risk of
July 3, 2015
sparking additional wildfires,
the government has implemented a ban on camp fires
and fireworks at more than
100 parks and recreation sites
across northern Saskatchewan. Few bans are currently
in place in southern areas of
the province, but campers are
urged to exercise extra caution
and keep fires small.
Meanwhile, The RM of
Shellbrook put a fire ban in
place on Tuesday, which also
included Sturgeon Lake Regional Park.
Premier Brad Wall was expected to tour the fire-affected
areas on Tuesday morning,
before addressing the media
in Prince Albert in the afternoon.

Stay safe in your garden this summer
Submitted by
Erl Svendsen
Gardening isn’t an Olympic sport (yet), but it can be
a physical if not strenuous
outdoor activity. But because
gardening is seen as a leisure
pastime instead of a sport,
people just go out and do it
with little thought to taking
steps to avoid preventable injuries. Here are a few tips to
stay safe and healthy.
There’s a lot of digging,
pulling, walking, grasping
and lifting when gardening.
Obviously, these activities involve muscles. You wouldn’t
think of going for a run or
working out without stretching – gardening shouldn’t
be any different. Stretching
can increase your range of
motion, relaxes muscles and
protects joints, ligaments
and tendons. Focus on your
legs, arms, back and neck.
And as my mother always
warned, ‘lift with your knees,
not with your back.’ Gardening is an outdoor activity,
usually when it’s sunny and
warm. Drink water to stay
hydrated. Avoid the noonday sun (noon to 2pm) if you
can. Early in the day and
late afternoon are the best
gardening times. But if you
have to work when it’s hot,
at least try gardening in the
shade and limit your time
outside. Wear a heat to protect your brain for overheating. Early signs of sunstroke
include sudden dizziness and
weakness; sudden headache;
little or no sweating; hot and
dry skin and a rapid heartbeat. More severe symptoms
include muscle cramping,
vomiting and coma. If you
experience the early symptoms, move to a cooler location, drink a cool sweet, salty
beverage (e.g. sports drink)
and remove restrictive, tight
clothing. Seek immediate

severe conditions.
Slather on the sun-screen
(high SPF) to prevent sunburns, accelerated skin aging
and skin cancers. Wearing
sunscreen is just as important when it’s overcast and
cooler as enough UV rays
pass through the clouds to
cause significant burns.
With the introduction of
West Nile virus in Saskatchewan, it has become important to protect yourself from
mosquitos, especially in July,
August and early September when the main carrier
(Culextarsalis) is most active and in high numbers.
Protect yourself by covering up; wearing a repellent
containing DEET, icardin
or oil of lemon eucalyptus
and eliminating mosquito
friendly habitat (e.g. long
grass, standing water, open
water barrels, etc.) around
your yard.
Many athletes wear protective equipment of one type or
another. Gardeners should be
no different. Leather gloves
protect the hands from cuts
from sharp tools (e.g. pruners) and spiny plants. Loose,
light-coloured clothing allows for proper blood flow
and keeps you cool as well
as provides protection from
insect bites, the sun and accidental exposure to plants
that may cause skin irritations (e.g. bare skin contact
with gas plant (Dictamnusalbus) leaves, flowers and seed
pods can cause blistering;
brushing against junipers
and Colorado spruce can
cause rash-like symptoms).
When pruning or weeding
near shrubs and other pokey
plants, wear eye protection.
Eye protection is also important when using a weed
whacker and other power
equipment. Also, think of

your feet when mowing –
avoid sandals; best to wear
leather boots.
When applying pesticides, follow label instructions for both application
rate and protective gear. At a
minimum, wear pants, long
sleeves, chemical resistant
gloves (e.g. nitrile) and rubber boots (not leather). Close
doors and windows. Keep
pets and children away during application. Stay out of
treated area for recommended period.
Gardening is not all danger. In fact, gardening is
considered a therapeutic
hobby with many physical,
emotional, mental and social benefits. And not only is
a beautifully landscaped and
maintained yard a hallmark
of a being a good citizen, it
can also substantially increase your property value.
So stay safe, relax and enjoy
both the gardening and the
garden itself.

Summer season brings new workers
As summer approaches,
WorkSafe
Saskatchewan
reminds employers and supervisors to take extra care
of new and young workers.
Approximately 6,000 Saskatchewan young workers
get injured on the job each
year, and the injury rate
for young workers peaks in
July and August. Injuries to
young workers are primarily
due to: lack of training, experience and/or supervision.
They also:
· Lack knowledge of their
rights
· Are eager to please
· Rush to finish
Young workers often have
the same duties as experienced adults and without
the proper training it is easy
for them to get injured on
the job.
WorkSafe Saskatchewan
urges supervisors to be approachable and willing to
answer questions. Young
workers need to ask questions on the job. Asking a
question can save someone
from an injury or even save
their life.
Brad Compton, Account
Manager at the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) says, “All
workers require orientation,
training and supervision,
but this is particularly important for young workers.
Research shows that if an
employer offers orientation
and is willing to answer
questions, their young employees are less likely to be
injured.”

On average, workers under the age of 25 receive approximately 6,000 injuries
each year:
2,750 hand injuries are

OPINION
July 3, 2015
A matter of love
overcoming hate
If the reaction to the United States Supreme Court’s
ruling in favour of legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide is any indication, then the apocalypse may very well
be nigh. Well, that is if those who see anything other than
the union between a man and a woman as an abomination turn out to be right.
And, in all honesty, the legalization of gay marriage
would make for a humorously unexpected event to usher
in the end of days. Just imagine it.
We live in a world where radical murderers claim to
follow Islam as they slaughter their
way across the Middle East, and violent and heinous crimes are committed on a daily basis.
But in the eyes of those who cling
to distorted interpretations of their
faiths, these monumental sins
aren’t enough to make Jesus ride in
on his white horse to save the faithful and smite the sinners, as John
foresaw in Revelations.

other in the sight of whichever Gods
they happen to believe in.
This small – but very vocal – minority is hardly representative of the broader Christian
faith. And their protests against the triumph of love over
bigotry reveal much more about them and their perverted vision of Christianity, than they do about Christianity
itself.
For so many Christians around the world have chosen
to stand beside their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters,
rather than bar their path forward.
But at the end of the day, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy said it best when he wrote that, in the
court’s opinion, the issue of same-sex marriage is about
more than just marriage. He, and the four other judges
who agreed with him, rightly identified that it is a matter
of love winning out over hatred.
“It would misunderstand these men and women to say
they disrespect the idea of marriage,” Kennedy wrote in
the court’s decision. “Their plea is that they do respect it,
respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for
themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in
loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law.
The Constitution grants them that right.”
Also up for debate, however, is the question of who gets
to decide what constitutes a violation of the values of marriage. The right-wing Christian minority clearly believe it
to be them. But marriage existed long before Christianity
appropriated it and infused it with religious meaning.
Moreover, since the birth of Christianity, marriage has
undergone many changes within the religion itself, suggesting that the meaning and values of marriage can
evolve over time.
For instance, at one time arranged marriages and polygamy were allowed and even encouraged.
Since those days, we have all championed the shift to
a society that no longer values women based upon their
suitability and profitability as brides and possessions of
men.
So why then, are we unable to have a rational discussion about allowing two consenting adults to devote their
lives to each other?
This love and this devotion should be the only values
that truly matter to us, for they are the very heart of what
it means to marry someone. Those who attempt to defeat love by stoking the irrational fears of their followers
would do well to remember this.
Instead of dividing humanity, let us unite it and show
these bigots the true power of love.

Governments get elected, but it may be
more accurate to say that governments
get unelected.
In other words, one big problem for an
incumbent government is that it is already being judged on its track record.
That’s not always an advantage if a government is governing in tough economic
times that force it to make tough, unpopular choices. And if those tough decisions
happen to be combined with the longevity of a government, voters will question
why the government hasn’t addressed the
problems they’ve had ample time to fix.
What also always weighs heavily on
voters’ minds is perceived government
scandal – something that has cost Canadian governments power from John
A. Macdonald’s Pacific Scandal to Jean
Chretien’s Ad Scam. (And in the U.S.,
who will ever forget Watergate?)
Finally, there are the less tangible factors like the relative popularity or unpopularity of the government leader versus that of the opposition leader.
But while one might think all the above
leaves the incumbent government at a
decided advantage, this isn’t necessarily
the case.
Maybe the recent

So let’s put all this in the context of
Saskatchewan, whose Sask. Party government nears the end of its second term.
Yes, the weakening oil economy, slowdown in manufacturing and housing construction and a potentially tough year on
the farm are worrisome for Premier Brad
Wall’s government.
Also, wasted money on smart meters
Aboriginals deserve
good fiscal governance
In the ongoing effort to bring transparency and accountability to Canada’s hundreds of aboriginal governments, the
name Wayne Louie should be remembered.
Wayne is a member of the Lower Kootenay Band, a First
Nation of 235 people, half of whom live on a reserve near
Creston, B.C.
In 2009, the band was paid $125,000 by the taxpayers
of the Regional District of Central Kootenay for the use of
a road that crosses the reserve. Flush with cash, the fivemember band council secretly voted to pay themselves each
a $5,000 bonus.
Two years went by before Wayne Louie discovered the payout. Unable to simply stand idly by, Wayne took the council
to court to get the money back.
For years, he pushed his case forward. As it wound its way
through the court system, Wayne relied on his nephew Rob
for legal help, his brother Robert to chip in for filing fees,
and Access Pro Bono, a non-profit law society, to help him
argue his case.
While Wayne packed a sandwich and took a 15-hour bus
ride from Creston to the Vancouver courthouse, the Lower
and the $40-million health care lean initiative efficiency program, overcrowded
schools that can longer afford desks,
phones and computers, emergency and
surgical ward problems and declining rural and long-term care and rough
roads have some wondering where all of
that oil windfall has gone.
And under a different premier (Wall’s
approval rating has slipped, but is still
at a nation’s best 60 per cent) seeking a
third term in Saskatchewan would certainly not be a given. No non-CCF/NDP
government has won three consecutive
elections since the Liberals in 1929.
But governments that are successful
over the long haul are successful because
they have a certain way of addressing the
core issues that are most important to
the people.

this province.

Kootenay chief flew into town and ate out on his band’s dime.
There was nothing to gain personally for Wayne; he fought
for his friends and neighbours to stop his politicians from
benefitting based solely on their elected positions. He did it
because he felt it was the right thing to do.
Earlier this month, the B.C. Court of Appeal sided with
Wayne Louie. In a landmark ruling, the court found the chief
and four councilors had breached their duty to the band and
ordered them to repay the money.
“This was a breach of fiduciary duty, even in the context
of a relatively informal and custom-based governance structure,” wrote Justice Mary Newbury in her decision. “In my
view, such a structure should not deprive members of the
Band of the protection of the fiduciary principle. They were
entitled to hold the defendants to the high standard to which
other fiduciaries are held in this country.”
In other words, First Nation band councils should create
the same rules and safeguards as other governments across
Canada, a point echoed in a Mandell Pinder legal analysis of
the decision: “Councils should develop financial administration and conflict of interest policies. Implementing bylaws or
laws and policies to provide accountability and transparency
in financial management is essential to good governance.”
The lack of accountability on many reserves is why the Canadian Taxpayers Federation worked with grassroots band
members to push for the new First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA). Among other things, the law requires
chiefs and councillors to disclose their pay publicly. While it
has already had a positive impact on many reserves, sadly,
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has promised to scrap the law;
a move designed to appease chiefs who oppose disclosure.
Already, the FNFTA is opening up band decisions to the
grassroots. When Kwikwetlem First Nation Chief Ron Giesbrecht took home $914,249 tax-free in 2013-14, it was the
FNFTA that revealed the massive payout. As Kwikwetlem’s
Marvin Joe told the National Post, “If it wasn’t for this new
transparency act, I don’t think we ever would have known.”
Similarly, the new law exposed how four council members
from the Shuswap First Nation had shared $4.1 million over
four years to govern a band of 267 people.
Instead of scrapping the FNFTA, the federal government
should entrench the court’s ruling and expand the law to
require bands to pass conflict of interest and fiduciary responsibility rules. The government could also require bands
to hand over even more financial information to the grassroots, especially around band-owned businesses and wages
for chiefs sitting on regional bodies.
There are thousands of ethical people living and working
on reserves across Canada, people like Wayne Louie. They
deserve our support and admiration – and laws that ensure a
select few aren’t taking more than their fair share.

ing provinces in Canada with 1,134,402
people as of April 1. That is an increase
of 1,762 people in the past three months
and 14,273 more people in the past year.
Admittedly, governments don’t control
population growth and the growth did
start a couple years before Wall came to
power in 2007. But for a province once
known for giving away its children to
other provinces, adding 139,475 in a decade is more than a remarkable achievement.
And it’s ample reason for the voters to
trust what Wall is doing.
In a similar vein, there were 582,700
people working in Saskatchewan in June
– the most ever in the history of this
province.
Also, Saskatchewan’s 4.9 per cent unemployment rate was again the lowest
in the country for the 20th consecutive
month.
For a province that saw its children
leave the province for decades looking
for work, this is fantastic news.
And it’s also why Wall and his Sask.
Party government are likely heading for
a big third, majority.

Linda Sims, Director of Home Care, told the board of directors that the Home First/Quick Response program, which
received funding from the Ministry of Health, is aimed at
providing care and support to people with complex needs.
The goal is to help them live in the community as long as
possible, rather than in hospital or long-term care. Sims said
that another important part of the program is to support the
planning process for discharges from hospital by identifying appropriate patients early and then providing enhanced
community-based support to patients as they return home
from hospital.
Prince Albert Parkland met the provincial targets set for
the Home First/Quick Response program, which included
increasing the number of home care clients and utilization
by five per cent. Another target that was also met was to increase the number of complex clients living in their home
by two per cent. With the pilot project focused on clients in
the City of Prince Albert, the region will expand the pilot
program in 2015-2016 with additional funding provided by
the Ministry of Health
Sims also outlined the result of a value for money audit
conducted by the Provincial Auditor. Recommendations
from the audit, conducted in July and August 2014, include:
- Provide more direction by having complete policies and

a process to identify and monitor home care services needs
and trends;
- Improve its processes to formally assess and plan individual’s home care needs;
- Ensure clients are receiving the needed services and staff
are appropriately trained, assigned, and monitored; and
- Track and analyze information about the delivery of
home-care services.
In addition to addressing the issues identified by the provincial auditor, the Home Care program now has a Nurse
Practitioner working from the Prince Albert office. While
funded by the RHA’s Primary Care program, the Nurse
Practitioner will support Home Care clients and staff in providing services at the office as well as in client’s homes.

The next Prince Albert Parkland Regional Health Authority board of directors meeting will be held on Wednesday,
September 30, 2015 in at Candle Lake Recreation Hall. The
meeting begins at 1 p.m.
The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region provides services and programs to about 80,000 people in one city, and
40 towns, villages and rural municipalities, as well as 12

Big business philosophies
It is increasingly obvious that much in our world moving
forward will not be imposed by government regulation, but
rather by the philosophies put forward by big business.
An example of the power business holds came clearly into
focus recently after so much attention was focused on the
symbolism of the Confederate flag in the United States in the
wake of the massacre in Charleston, whichOn
leftAgriculture
nine AfricanAmericans dead in their church.
The shooter, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, has confessed to the
murders, and has been quoted as wanting to start a race war.
A widely circulated photo of the shooter holding a gun and
a Confederate flag brought the debate of the flag’s racist toots
to the forefront, becoming quickly a political football. Some
politicians have called for the flag’s removal, at least from
public buildings, other defending the flag just as adamantly.
Meanwhile big business has taken action on the issue.
Walmart, Amazon, eBay and Sears all announced bans on
the sale of Confederate flag merchandise.
“The announcements are the latest indication that the
flag, a symbol of the slave-holding South, has become toxic
in the aftermath of a shooting last week at a historic AfricanAmerican church in Charleston, South Carolina. Gov. Nikki
Haley announced in a Monday afternoon news conference
that she supports removing the Confederate flag from the
state capitol grounds,” reportedwww.cnn.com
The business decision in this case is a powerful one of social awareness in regards to what the flag means for a large
Calvin
Daniels
portion of their customers.
Not all decisions are popular of
course, even those which fall on the
correct side of contentious debates.
In January 2012, Starbucks joined
Microsoft and Nike in announcing
support of a Washington state bill to
legalize same-sex marriage, which ultimately passed.
There was a backlash from antiCALVIN
gay groups against Starbucks, but the
company has remained steadfast.
DANIELS
"If you feel respectfully that you can
~
get a higher return [than] the 38% you
got last year, it's a free country," said
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, during the annual shareholders meeting on March 21. "You
could sell your shares at Starbucks and buy shares in other
companies,” detailed www.money.cnn.com
So how does this relate to farming?
Well as business flexes its muscles in terms of determining which direction the broader society will go, some of their
decisions will impact how we farm in the future.
It’s already happening actually.
The Western Producer website (www.producer.com) recently published a story on a company pushing dairy producers in a particular direction.
“Saputo, a Montreal based dairy processor, says it will refuse milk from farms that fail to treat cows humanely,” began the story.
“The new policy is expected to be implemented across
Saputo’s operations in Canada, the United States, Australia
and Argentina.
“In a June 1 news release, the company announced it
would not accept milk from farms that dock tails or that fail
to administer pain control for dehorning and disbudding of
calves.”
That may seem like a reasonable decision, although the
farm practices they want adjusted have been long-standing
ones, and while pain control may be reasonable it does add
costs to the farm, costs the company, nor are consumers
likely to rush to cover through his payments for product.
The concern for farmers is how far business may go in
mandating farm practices. The possibilities can be both
positive in terms of influence, and could just as easily be
detrimental. Consider a large food chain not accepting any
foods which were not certified to have not been sprayed with
glyphosate in the wake of the recent report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, (IARC), an arm of the
World Health Organization that the product is a potential
carcinogen.
While farmers may have a limited voice with big business
decisions, they should at least be poised to be part of debates
which are sure to come.
How to protect your farm from common hazards
(NC) How to Farming
is a fickle business. The
long hours and hard work
that farmers spend getting
their crops in and keeping their livestock healthy
doesn't guarantee success.
That's because there are so
many variable risk factors
that can impact farm operations.
Keeping track of all the
risks can be overwhelming. Reevaluating a farm's
risks at least once a year is
the best way to determine
and develop a plan to protect against them. Here
are a few key areas to consider:
Extreme weather. There
is no question that extreme weather events like

fires and hail can wreak
havoc on a farm. “Having
a plan in place to deal with
severe weather is a necessity for farms of all types
and sizes,” says Bart Robinson, insurance expert
with Western Financial
Group. “Having safe and
reliable storage for produce and chemicals are
just two examples of what
can go into a farm insurance plan. Crop insurance
is also important to consider because it protects
farmers from the costs associated with damage to
crops from events such as
hail, which are often unavoidable.”
Equipment
considerations. Farm equipment is
a necessity on all farms.
If these critical assets get
damaged, a farmer's operation can grind to a halt.
Taking the time to inspect
equipment, conduct repairs, update equipment
lists and evaluate insurance needs annually can
help farmers avoid costly
claims or gaps in coverage,
says Robinson. He stresses
the importance of lossof-use coverage on farm
equipment. This covers
expenses incurred for the
rental of replacement mobile farm equipment that
has become inoperable
because of loss or damage
by an insured peril such as
fire or theft, which helps
minimize costly down-
time.
Overall liability. Risks
often extend beyond the
farm. Many farmers provide services or consultation to others, which
means additional liability considerations. Field
chemical spraying or seed
cleaning are two common services that farmers
could provide, says Robin-
son, and any person doing
so should have insurance
in place that protects them
from damages to another
person or property. The
same goes for environmental leaks or fires that
can spread from one farm
to another.
With so much to think
about in terms of risk on
the farm, Robinson sug-
gests speaking to an insurance broker who specializes in farm insurance. A
broker will visit the farm
to identify risks and customize a plan that provides the right coverage
for their operation based
on the farmer's unique
situation.

Family act shares gospel tunes at Parkside’s Immanuel Lutheran Church
Missouri-based Link Union, made up of mom Becky, and kids Aaron, Ben, Rachel, Ashley, Kyle and John performed a mix of gospel and bluegrass
numbers at Parkside’s Immanuel Lutheran Church on June 20.
The Immanuel Lutheran Church in Parkside was brought to life by the Holy Spirit,
when the Missouri-based musical family
act known as Link Union stopped by the
congregation during its latest tour of Saskatchewan and western Canada.
Performing in front of a packed house on
the evening of June 20, the talented group
of instrumentalists and vocalists delighted
listeners and got toes tapping with their
lively and eclectic mixture of gospel and
bluegrass-gospel music.
This wasn’t the first time Link Union and
its 45-foot tour bus have rolled into Parkside, however. As Debbie Helm, a member
of the church’s congregation points out,
they also played a show two years ago (both
times staying at the Shellbrook Motel along
the way).
Helm explains that she got the idea to
have Link Union play in Parkside after seeing them perform at the Kinasao Lutheran
Bible camp in Christopher Lake. From
there, it took some doing, but they managed

Parade entries welcome - Rose 306.427.2255
to arrange a tour stop in Parkside.
Helm says that the church is quite grateful whenever Link Union stops by.
“We usually pay them a reduced rate.
They are quite popular and get a fair bit of
money when they perform,” she explained.
“But we could never afford that, and they’ve
been very gracious to us, and accepting of
what we can come up with money-wise.”
Link Union’s current roster includes eight
members. While father Lance Link helps
runs the sound both at all the shows, moth-
er Becky performs on-stage with her five
kids, Rachel, Ben, Aaron, John and Kyle, as
well as Kyle’s wife Ashley. All members of
the seven-piece play multiple instruments,
from fiddle to guitar, to mandolin and piano.
Tours through Saskatchewan are a yearly
thing for the band, which also played shows

Hills, Carrot River, North Battleford and

Loretta Wolfe
WOLFE – Mrs. Loretta
1937- June 22, 2015
Annie Alice “Loretta”
Wolfe was born to Bud and
Alma MacTavish in Indian
Head on May 4th, 1937. In
her pre-school years, Loretta’s family moved around
due to her father finding
work where he could. Loretta started her education in a
small country school close
enough to the family farm,
and she could walk to and
from school. Growing up
on the farm Loretta honed
her gardening, cooking
and baking skills. She, like
all farm kids at the time,
also had to help out caring for the livestock, milking cows before and after
school along with other responsibilities. Loretta was
not afraid of work, helping
out wherever she could at a
young age.
Loretta finished her grade
12 in Rosetown in June of
1956. That same year her
father had hired a fellow to
build a garage on the farm
at Herschel. Apparently
the smell of Loretta’s baking drew in the carpenter.
It wasn’t long before Loretta and the carpenter, Bob
Wolfe, were in love. They
married in November of
1956.
Loretta had acquired a
movie camera at an early
age, and was exceptional
at taking pictures, making
movies of friends and family that are still treasured by
the family to this day.Loretta’s siblings have fond memories of her spoiling them
growing up, so it was no
surprise when she had her
own children, her parenting skills kicked into high
gear. She was a very attentive mom that always tried
to instill a solid work ethic
and values in her children.
Loretta and Bob loved to
travel to many places. They
would work together to
camps where Loretta used
to do the cooking.In 1977
the Wolfe family moved to
Canwood to pursue farming and a business venture.
Loretta loved to garden, and
enjoyed preserving fruit,
veggies and canning meat.
She always enjoyed the
times at the rink, cheering
her boys on.Loretta took
great pride in the achievements that her daughter
Candace and her grandchildren had with their endeavours with the miniature
horses and petting zoo that
she had gotten them started
on.
Loretta was very community minded, helping out
with bake sales, ticket sales
and any other place where
she was needed. Loretta was
well known around the area
for her beautifully decorated cakes. She had a strong
devotion to God; she joined
OBITUARIES
the neighborhood Bible
Study Group. Loretta was
a strong-willed, spirited,
intelligent, loving, caring
woman who was always
capable of speaking her
mind. We will all her miss
her deeply.
Loretta will be lovingly
remembered by her children: Bill Wolfe of Shellbrook and his son, Matthew; Jeremy (KerriLynn)
Wolfe of Shellbrook and
their children, Tanner,
Ashlee and Jessie; Marie
Wolfe of Prince Albert and
her children, David, Tasje,
Damaris and Turell; Candace Wolfe of Shellbrook.
Her special family, Ella
Lillies; Mike Drangsholt;
and Tracy Neighbours.
Her siblings, Grace (Alban) Young of Weyburn;
Grant (Muriel) MacTavish
of Prince Albert. Loretta
is predeceased by her husband Robert Wolfe; her
parents Bud and Alma
MacTavish; her brother
Jimmy MacTavish. Loretta’s funeral service
took place on Saturday,
June 27, 2015 from the
Canwood Elk’s Community Centre with Pastor
Glenn Blazosek officiating. The interment was in
North Concordia Cemetery.

INTRODUCING THE 2015
MEDIA VEHICLE OF THE YEAR.
Darren Pearson
PEARSON - Darren Scot
Pearson passed away suddenly on June 9, 2015, at
Shell Lake, Saskatchewan,
at the age of 52 years.
Darren is survived by
his wife, Cathy and their
children Jesse, Kathleen
and Drew; his nephew
Lee (Shannon), his sisterin-law, Paulette Pearson,
his Aunt Clara along with
many cousins.
He was predeceased by
his parents, Hugh and Evelyn Pearson, his 4 brothers, Roderick, David, Timothy and Warren.
Darren was born in Estevan, on November 14,
1962. He grew up on the
family farm at Bromhead,
Sask (South of Weyburn).
Darren loved farm life
as a child. So when he
had the opportunity later
in life, he tried his hand
at farming. He found satisfaction working with
his dexter cows and what
joy he experienced every
spring with the birth of
the calves.
The golf course was in
Darren’s blood. He started
working at the Weyburn
Golf Course as a summer
job while he was still in
school. After he completed
Grade 12 he attended the
Turfgrass
Management
course in Fairview, Alberta. Although he tried
his hand at other employment, such as a welder
and golf course equipment
mechanic, he always returned to the course. He
was an extremely hard
worker and it showed in
the beautiful, lush condition of every course he
managed. In recent years
it brought Darren great
pleasure to work side-byside with his youngest
son, Drew, teaching him
many valuable skills that
no doubt will serve him
well throughout of his life.
As with many of us, he
searched for satisfying answers to life. Through his
study of the Bible he found
the answers he was looking for. Darren was baptized July 4, 1992, as one
of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He
found immense contentment and satisfaction in
doing all he could to help
those in the congregation,
as well as serving Jehovah
God whole-souled.
Married to Cathy for 22
years, he was a devoted
husband and father. We
will miss his quiet yet supportive and loving manner. Because of Darren’s
strong faith and close relationship with his God,
Jehovah, we are confident
that he is now in the safest
place possible - Jehovah’s
memory, awaiting a resurrection to an everlasting
future, never again to say
good-bye.

Jays fans getting their hopes up
Don’t look now, but the
Toronto Blue Jays are contenders.
It’s far too early to start
making World Series plans,
but there’s something about
the 2015 Jays that seems to
point toward a better than
normal finish to the season. Don’t forget, the 2014
World Series champion San
Francisco Giants barely
squeaked into the playoffs,
getting one of two National
League wildcard berths after winning only 88 games,
before running the table behind Madison Bumgarner’s
arm to win the Series.
This year’s Jays are fun to
watch. Back on May 1, they
were a sadsack crew, 13-15
and dead last in the American League East, generally
regarded as the weakest of
baseball’s six divisions. But
an 11-game winning streak,
some powerful hitting and
some great pitching from
guys like Marco Estrada
(who?) and suddenly, the
Jays are sitting one game

only win a wildcard spot,

completes studies
Shelley Fraser is set to begin a practicum with a local agency.
The Canadian Professional Counselling Association of Canada would like to
congratulate and welcome
Shelley Fraser formerly of
Debden as part of their affiliation as a counselor/
psychotherapist member.
Fraser recently completed
her program that also in-
cluded studying in Pastoral Care, with a 4.0 GPA.
She has signed the Code of
Ethics with the association.
She will begin her practicum immediately for a local
agency.
Fraser says, “Over the
past year, I have gained an
enormous amount of knowledge and insight studying
various case studies. I wanted to specialize in this field
because in today’s society I
see so many people projecting their self-defeating negative behaviors toward others. Often they don’t seem
to realize that their negative
thinking often leads them to
depression.”
“One of my favorite philosophies is if you think
positive, work hard, good
thinks will happen. I truly
stand by this theory and it
has proven itself tenfold.
This year has truly been
an amazing and rewarding
year.” Shelley is currently an
adult educator and author.
Last summer she received
her Ph.D in Philosophy in
education.
hired to take care of any
other Democrats who enter
the race.”
• Brad Dickson of the
Omaha World-Herald: “A
mountain lion was spotted
on a golf course near Scottsdale, Arizona. Wildlife officials were going to bring in
a tranquilizer gun. Instead,
they just showed the mountain lion a few minutes of
televised golf, and it nodded
off.”
• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Patriots
are scheduled to pay QB
Tom Brady $7 million for
the 2015 season — or $5.25
million, adjusting for deflation.”
• Norman Chad of the
Washington Post, on St.
Louis Cardinals accused
of hacking into the Houston Astros’ computer system: “Why would baseball’s
most model franchise pilfer
from baseball’s perennial
losers? Indeed, that’s like
Rembrandt stealing Earl
Scheib’s colouring books.
Why even bother?”
@breitwieser, on Twitter:
“People are very divided on
Fox Sports coverage of the
U.S Open. Some people hated it and others truly hated
it. “
• Perry again: “Hear about
Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter
and Billy Horschel teaming up to bankroll a line of
Chambers Bay wine? It’s
100 per cent sour grapes.”
• Comedy writer Alan Ray,
on Alex Rodriguez reaching
the 3,000-hit milestone:
“He owes it all to the man
upstairs: the pharmacist,
second floor, Biogenesis
Clinic, Miami, Fla.”
• Interesting names of
players drafted in major
league baseball, as noted
by the Sports Curmudgeon,
Jack Finarelli: “Skye Bolt
was drafted by the A’s. It
seems to me that he ought to
play Thor in the next Avengers movie; Bucket Goldby
was drafted by the Marlins.
Do you think Bucket has
a list? Tucker Tubbs was
drafted by the Red Sox. If
his baseball career does not
pan out, he should be a natural for NASCAR.”
• Brad Rock of the Deseret
News: “Miami Dolphins
Shellbrook Chronicle 13
kicker Caleb Sturgis was
injured last week during
a team-endorsed kickball
game. He’ll be sidelined at
least four weeks. Sources
say the Dolphins are compiling a list of other risky activities they plan to ban, including Twister, hopscotch
and door-crasher sales on
Black Friday.”
•ABC late-night funnyman Jimmy Kimmel: “The
Women’s World Cup is under way again. Soccer, of
course, is the sport in which
you’re only allowed to use
your hands if you’re the
goalie or taking a bribe.”
• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “At the Women’s
World Cup, U.S. striker
Abby Wambach is blaming
artificial turf for her lack of
scoring. ‘See?’ said the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.”
• Comedy writer Alex
Kaseberg: “In the Women’s
World Cup soccer quarterfinal, Germany beat France
in the ‘Where have we heard
that before?’ bowl.”

and is intended to honour outstanding members of any branch in Sask.
who goes above and beyond in promot-
ing and supporting their branch. This
year, the Leask Legion Branch #79 is
thrilled to have our Vice-President,
George Diehl, receive this award. The
Leask Branch has a very active membership and this is reflected in the fact
that since this award was incorporated
in 2011, 3 of our members have received Legionnaire of the Year Awards.
Grace Kennedy, a long standing member, received the award in 2011. John
Priestley, President, also received
the award in 2012. Congratulations,
George Diehl!
New hunting regulations take
effect province-wide
Summer is now upon
Saskatchewan, and even
with smoke blanket much
of the province, avid
hunters are sure to be
heading into the bush as
hunting season gets under way.
But before heading out
into the wilds, hunters
should be aware that new
hunting regulations under the Wildlife Amendment Act of 2015, which
officially came into effect
on Canada Day.
Under the new regulations, which were introduced last fall, the most
serious conservation of-
fences will carry an automatic two-year suspension, and those convicted
for wildlife offences on
three separate occasions
will be punished with a
lifetime ban.
Furthermore, hunters
with outstanding wildlife-related fines will be
prohibited from buying
a license until their fines
are paid, and individuals who are banned from
hunting activities in other
jurisdictions will not be
permitted to purchase a
license in Saskatchewan.
Lastly, wildlife officers
will now have up to three
years to investigate hunting violations and bring
charges forward.
“Saskatchewan’s valuable wildlife resource
needs to be protected and
preserved for future generations to enjoy,” said
Environment
Minister
Herb Cox in a statement.
“This new legislation enhances wildlife protection
and shows greater respect
for our natural resources
by increasing the severity of penalties for those
who commit hunting violations.”
Earlier amendments to
the act included regula-
CHECK IT OUT!
tions to ensure that hunters who are in arrears for
maintenance
payments
will be denied the opportunity to purchase a hunting or angling license in
Saskatchewan.
The act will also promote the protection of
wildlife populations and
their habitats, by ensuring that science-based
wildlife surveys are carried out in a responsible,
undisruptive manner.
It’s estimated that more
than 70,000 people enjoy
hunting in Saskatchewan
each year. More information on the new regulations can be found at
www.saskatchewan.ca/
