SHS wins two of three at Districts
Spiritwood High School curlers captured
two of three Battle West District championships at playdowns held in Spiritwood and
Medstead Feb 9 and 10. Both the Senior Boys
and Senior Mixed teams were undefeated
through their double-knockout events to win
their respective banners.
Carried with it is a spot in the upcoming
Regional Championships for both teams. Regionals are one step away from Provincials,
so there is a lot at stake for all teams making
it that far.
There were 27 teams in all at Districts,
made up of nine boys teams, eight girls and
ten mixed.
Boys and Mixed played in Spiritwood,
while Medstead hosted the Girls.
The Senior Boys team, made up of Brett
Reddekopp, Garret Reddekopp, Devyn
Thompson and Derryk Franson started off
with a win over NBCHS 2, and followed it up
with victories over Kerrobert and JP II 1, setting up an “A” final against Unity, who had
scored wins against JP II 2, Medstead and
NBCHS 1.
The Spiritwood foursome downed Unity
in that final, sending Unity into the “B” final
against JP II 1. They won that, becoming the
second team to advance to the Regional Playdowns.
The Senior Mixed team was made up of
Dyllan Franson, Taylor Olson, Nicholas Anderson and Teigan Knot. It took wins against
Medstead 2, Cut Knife, Maymont 1 and
Macklin to secure the “A” side and the berth
in Regionals. Macklin recovered from that
loss to defeat Cut Knife in the “B” final to win
the other slot.
The Spiritwood girls started off well in
Medstead, downing Cut Knife, but then they
lost to Unity 2 to put them in the “B” side and
then to McLurg to end their run. The two
teams from Unity squared off in the “A” final,
with the loser dropping to the “B”, where they
beat McLurg.
Spiritwood and Medstead will be hosting
the Regional Playdowns on Feb 26 and 27.
The Boys Provincials will be in Assiniboia on
March 4, while the Girls and Mixed will be in
Meadow Lake, also on the 4th.
Medstead and Leoville also had teams
competing at Districts. Medstead’s boys
team ran into Unity in their first game, and
then McLurg in their second. The Mixed
event featured two Mustang teams. Medstead 2 lost to Spiritwood in their first game,
rallied to beat both Maymont and Leoville,
and then lost to JP II. Medstead 1 lost their
opener to that same JP II team, then were defeated by McLurg.
The Medstead girls lost to Unity 2, beat Cut
Knife and then lost to Kerrobert.
Leoville had one team in the District Play-

Report from the Legislature
Strong Saskatchewan
Job Growth
The strength and resiliency of Saskatchewan’s
economy is evident as our
province posted one of
Canada’s strongest yearover-year job growth rates
in January.
While Saskatchewan is
down 1,900 oil and resource jobs compared to
this time last year, a diversified economy created
new opportunities, adding
5,200 new jobs.
Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate is the lowest in Canada at 5.6%.
Premier Proposes Federal Assistance for Oil
Services Sector
Despite overall employment growth in Saskatchewan, the resource sector
nationally has lost jobs.
Saskatchewan for example
is home to many energy
service sector employees
now without work.
The Accelerated Well
Cleanup Program (AWCP)
is aplan to protect jobs
and help the environment
by accelerating the cleanup of oil wells no longer
capable of production.
The proposal, which
calls for $156 million in
federal funding to help
stimulate
employment,
has been discussed with
and forwarded to Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau
for consideration.

Timberwolves miss playoffs

proceed without them.
In our last report, we alluded to the possibility that
the unthinkable could happen, and while we were
speculating on what it would
take to make it to the playoff round and hemming and
hawing about the possibility
of reaching seventh place
even, the unthinkable did
happen.
Finishing the season with
three games on the road, all
our favorites needed was a
single point out of the six
available. They didn’t get
any, losing first to the Maymont Settlers by the narrowest of margins (2-1).
Next, in a rare Tuesday night
game, they dropped a close
one in Radisson, 4-2. To top
it off, they were outscored
9-7 in Battleford against the
Beaver Blues.
At first blush, that wasn’t
too bad. Three losses by a
total of five goals indicates

too much of an advantage to
the opponent.
Well, even with all that
they were a near-lock on at
least eighth place weren’t
they? The only possible way
for the Cut Knife Colts to
steal the final playoff spot
was to beat the first-place
Hafford Hawks. Fat chance,
right? Well, the Hawks, according to one local who
watched the game, played
without several of their top
players, and the Colts scored
an overtime win against
them.
Why the Hawks
would risk a first-place finish by resting their top
players doesn’t make much
sense. The tie at the end of
regulation gave them their
one-point cushion over both
Edam and Meota.
That win put the Colts into
an eighth place tie with the
Timberwolves, and they got
the spot by virtue of a pair of
victories over the Wolves.
The eighth place finish for
the Colts gave them Hafford
as a first round opponent,
and as if to prove their overtime win was no fluke, they
beat the Hawks 7-4 to even
the series at a game apiece.
As it stands now, the Hawks
are up 2-1, with game four

good at predicting anything
we’d call it 3-0 for Shellbrook.

“An evening with Yahoo”
Did you watch the Grammy Awards the other night?
Naah, me neither. As I was flipping through the channels prior to the event, I came across one of those Red
Carpet Specials that invariably precedes the awards show.
All awards shows have a Red Carpet Special. A Red Carpet Special consists of coverage of the people who are attending the program as they arrive. The men are asked
about their role in the success of their film/video/movie/
whatever and the women are asked who they are wearing.
Asking who they are wearing is really asking who is the
designer of the dress/outfit. Once
the celebrity has been thusly interviewed, off she goes and the
commentators pontificate about
the ensemble, fawning over it and
telling the viewers how wonderful they think it is.
They are all the same, which is
why it takes me less than a minute to realize that I’m about to
vomit, so I quickly find another
channel to settle on.
Yahoo is no better. Great

women involved somehow in the
music industry, with a comment
about their outfits.
And there’s more. Two days later, a video purporting to
have the “Best Moments From the Grammy Awards”, with
links to “Red Carpet Looks”, “Winners List” and “Taylor
Swift Cuts Her Hair”. Be still my heart.
Perhaps the best photo from the Red Carpet Look was
that of Justin Bieber and his little brother. The six-yearold was totally unimpressed, leading us to believe that he
knew something about what his evening was going to be
like once he got inside the hall.
Further down the list of Yahoo offerings, and not too
far down, is the latest Kanye West news. It seems this
rap star, faced with $53 million in debts, has asked Mark
Zuckerberg for some financial help. Zuckerberg, you
know, is the super-wealthy founder of Facebook. West
asked him through Twitter.
Go figure.
“I want to help the world and I need help to do it. I am
an artist and I care about humanity,” West tweeted. “Yes
I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my
family but I need access to more money in order to bring
more beautiful ideas to the world.”
Well, I wish him luck.
No, I don’t. He may view himself as the king of rap, or
hip hop, and I have to admit, I’m no fan of the genre, and
I’m no fan of anyone who views himself as God’s gift to
the world.
But enough about him. Here’s a sampling of the rest of
Yahoo’s lineup:
“15 Jaw-dropping photos of Caroline Wozniaki.” Well,
the Red Carpet syndrome all over again.
“Mama June Undergoes procedure to remove ‘turkey

all featured on a show on The Learning Channel. Some
day we’ll tackle The Learning Channel to determine just
what, if anything, we are learning.
“Gigi Hadid’s red hot look melted all the snow.” I had to
click on this link to find out who Gigi Hadid was. Oh,she’s
a model, BFF to one of the Kardashians. A quote from
Yahoo: “Hadid has emerged as the clear one to watch with
her proclivity for monochrome ensembles, leather pants,
and go-to accessories.”
And then there’s the article about U.S. Republican candidate Marco Rubio, whose campaign video opens with
“It’s morning again in America”, but the city shown is Vancouver, B.C.
We’re running out of room so we’re unable to say much
about the American election. So far, it’s a free-for-all,
with no clear candidate occupying the middle ground in
either the Republican or Democratic camps.
Scary. But Yahoo will keep us informed.

VIEWPOINT
www.spiritwoodherald.com
Sask. Party seats a sure thing, but ....
If one looks at the 27 Saskatchewan rural seats the NDP simply will not contest,
Kindersley would certainly be in the top
five.
For those that haven’t been following
provincial politic closely, NDP leader Cam
Broten said in year-end interviews he believes his party is competitive with the Saskatchewan Party in 34 of the 61 seats on the
province’s new electoral map.
To be clear, “being competitive” does not
mean winning them all. It may not mean
even winning half of them.
What it does mean is New Democrats’
polling shows they think they can only have
a chance in the urban and northern seats.
While that might mean more seats on
April 4th than the nine seats the NDP currently hold (presumably, nine of the 34
seats in which the NDP claims it is competitive), it would seem to mean that even
New Democrats know that they are a long
ways away from the 31 seats needed to form
a majority government.
What it also means, is the NDP is basically writing off those other 27 ridings,
thought to be rural seats like Kindersley.
One can certainly

oil-based seats have shown their strong
preferences to selecting the right-wing alternative.
In fact, Boyd has now represented the riding for almost 25 years _ his first six years
as a Progressive Conservative and his last
19 as a founder and major with the Sask.
Party that included the past eight years as
the government’s economic development
minister.
One wonders if Boyd has even campaigned all that much in his riding since
his first election in 1991 _ largely because
he hasn’t had to campaign all that much.
After all, he still did amazing well in
Kindersley even when spending much of
his election time campaigning provincewide as PC leader or as a Sask. Party key
strategist.
So does that mean the Sask. Party is impervious to the recent criticism of Boyd
and his handling of issues like the Global

Fund. And now, they’re hiding the true state of
our finances and their growing deficit from Saskatchewan people. This represents disrespect
and a major risk for Saskatchewan people.
They didn’t save a dime from the resource
boom. And who will pay for that?
More and more, it seems like the Sask. Party is
in it for themselves.
Mr. Wall has spent as much as $40,000 per
trip to send travel scouts to check out luxury hotels and VIP lounges for him before he travels to
other countries.
He continues to spend on the Lean program well over $150 million and growing every day.
They’ve wasted millions on the smart meter fiasco, the sketchy land deal in which they paid
three-times the appraised value for land, and a
cost overrun on the Regina bypass that’s already
$1 billion over budget.
They let us down on things like emergency
rooms, classrooms and the cost of living for
everyday families during good times -- and we
can’t afford their misplaced priorities in tight
times.

Kindersley.
But it might be interesting to watch and
see if voters are ready to send a bit of a message.
Setting aside rumours and controversies
directly related to Boyd, issues related to
his performance as minister are starting to
pile up.
The 2009 debacle over the predicted
$2-billion in potash royalty revenue that
turned into the government paying the
industry money was on Boyd’s watch. So
was the debacle over SaskPower’s so-called
Smart Meters and much of the controversy
over the $1.9-billion carbon capture and
storage project at Boundary Dam.
Now, add in the story that the Global
Transportation Hub _ also a Boyd responsibility _ where wound up paying three and
four time more than market value for land.
You have a narrative that voters don’t much
like.
It’s unlikely to cost Boyd his seat or the
Sask. Party government.
But don’t assume that means voters in
Kindersley or elsewhere are completely
happy.

The key to the change
is technology.
The
Mitchell
Estimating
technology system “allows repair shops to automatically create collision repair estimates
that are accurate, verifiable, and readily ac-
cepted throughout the
industry,” according to
an article by Pat Rediger
in a recent issue of Collision Quarterly.
The internet brings insurer and repair shops
together, and the reliability of the Mitchell
Estimating technology
means that accurate and
reliable estimates can
be provided, thus allowing repair work to begin
sooner.
Accredited
repair
firms will have to undergo annual training to
keep up with changes to
damage estimate policies. In order to become
accredited, shop must
meet a number of requirements, including
acquiring the Mitchell technology, having
the necessary tools and
equipment, be compliant with Occupational
Health and safety policies, and employ jour-
neymen employees.
The collision repair
industry has until Jan 1,
2017 to complete the accreditation program.

Farmers must tell their own story
Over the years of writing this commentary on agriculture
the subject of the ever shrinking connection between active
farmers and consumers has been the topic repeatedly.
In many respects it is the greatest challenge farmer’s face.
People in general distrust that which they do not understand, and the reality is the average consumer in Toronto,
New York, Los Angeles or Vancouver has no
to farming.
Onties
Agriculture
They have no more knowledge of what it takes to produce a
pound of beef, or a bushel of canola than most on the farm
would know about how a car is built, or a mine operates.
And frankly you don’t have to go to the big cities to realize
the disconnection.
You can go to a classroom in a small city like Yorkton today
and find very few, if any, who have a direct connect to a farm,
and most will never have set foot on an operating farm.
So the question becomes where do people get the information on which they base their perception of agriculture.
I would argue there are two primary sources, and neither
provides a particularly accurate view of the sector.
At a young age, there is the idyllic view of farming seen
far too may children’s books. You know the ones; a red hiproofed barn, a pond with a few ducks, a milk cow, and a
handful of chickens, while a farmer riding a cab-less tractor
is working a field in the distance.
That might have been the farm of our grandfathers, but it
isn’t today’s reality to be sure.
And while I know some will disagree I suspect that vision
Calvin
Daniels
hurts today’s farmers, as those children book images of what many think
of as ‘a family farm’ are simply outdated.
And then as adults consumers are
inundated with a deluge of information, often contradictory of each other.
Organic foods are safer than conventionally produced ones, or are they?
The answer depends very much on the
CALVIN
source of the answer.
Genetically modified crops face the
DANIELS
same situation, are they safe, or not?
~
Again the answer depends very
much on its source.
And, unfortunately sources often
have their own agenda attached.
So if farmers want their story to at least be part of the conversation they have to tell their own story.
And in that regard you have to tip your hat to SaskCanola
for initiating the creation of the documentary film ‘License
to Farm’.
“Canada is a world leader in agriculture and food production. But farming doesn’t look the same as it did a hundred,
fifty, or even ten years ago. Farmers are producing more with
less, using more efficient and sustainable practices than ever
before. So why do consumers carry so much doubt around
the way their food is produced? When did fear begin to trump
science and fact when it comes to food production – and how
do we earn back that valuable consumer confidence?” relates
the film’s website at www.licensetofarm.com
“It is crucial for agriculture – particularly farmers – to take
a seat at the table when it comes to conversations about food.
Farmers can play a crucial role by engaging in meaningful
conversations, opening the doors to their livelihood and
building trust with their communities.”
The film does provide farmers a voice supported by experts, and industry people, touching on critical aspects such
as the safety of GM crops, and how continuous crop techniques actually help soil health, all with an eye to producing
enough food for a growing world population.
It’s a huge story to tell, and the film only scratches the surface, given it is only 30-minutes in length, but it is a start.
Actually, it’s a huge start. It is getting farmers telling the
world what they do is produce safe food in a way that ensures
a consistent supply.
That is the irony of the situation of course. The loudest
voices of opposition to GM crops, farm protection product
use, and mega farms come from people in North America
and Europe where store shelves are always full, and going
hungry is not an issue. Nor is accessing alternately grown
crops should they want too.
The reality speaks volumes to just how good a job farmer’s
are doing growing our food.
Winter safety on the farm
Winter Safety on the Farm
Andre Bonneau, P.Ag.
Agricultural Health and Safety Representative
Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture
Farming in the winter presentsdifferent challenges in
terms of safety. The weather can be harsh, the days are
shorter and the pace of the workload can be demanding. Many farmers in thearea are feeding cattle and have
to deal with the cold weather, darkness and the cattle
themselves.
Cattle handling in the winter is often much different
than in the summer months. Cattle are often confined
to corrals and there is less room for cattle and handlers
to move around. Confinedspaces can raise the stress
in younger livestock and cause erratic behavior. People
who calve in mid to late winter also have the issue of
dealing with new mothers and their protective nature.
Always keep an escape route available. If approached
by an aggressive animal, keep an eye on your escape
route. Use a feeder or other animals to create a barrier. Distract the animal with pails or shovels. Don’t
turn your back on the animal and try to get outside of its
“flight zone”, the zone where it feels threatened or challenged. Remember, even the quietest and most gentle
cow can turn on you and catch you by surprise.
Obviously, the cold weather itself can create safety issues. It’s uncomfortable to have cold hands and feet but
it can be dangerous to lose too much body heat and go
into hypothermia. Dress in layers and peel off or add
layers as you warm up and cool down. Avoid sweating

and keep dry as much as possible. We’ve all heard of
people who’ve undressed when they’ve gotten too warm
only to suffer from hypothermia after they’ve cooled off.
The extra layers of clothing and the snowy conditions
often affect your visibility and agility outdoors. Operating equipment can become a challenge when wearing
extra clothing and heavy boots; this is why it’s important
to be very deliberate when operating machinery such as
bale processors and front-end-loaders.
Shield your eyes from bright snow and sun. Wear
clothes that fit well instead of bulky and loose clothing. Footwear should have solid treads and be studded if working on ice. Gloves should be worn instead
of mittens when appropriate. Apply the parking brake
and turn off any equipment when getting off the tractor. Maintain three points of contact between you and
the tractor or equipment when mounting or dismounting. Avoid going under the front-end-loader or other
equipment without ensuring they’re either locked out or
blocked from movement.

Medstead Leisure Life
February 19, 2016
Busy week for Partners in Faith
Partners in Faith conducted two projects last week, with the annual Shrove
Tuesday pancake supper on Feb 9, followed by the Valentine Tea and Social on
Friday, Feb 12.
They served in the neighborhood of five
dozen plates of pancakes and sausages at
the Shrove Tuesday event, which is held to
commemorate the beginning of Lent. The
supper was held at the Pioneer Centre.
They were busier on Friday, with about
forty people dropping in to the Spiritwood Legion for strawberry shortcake
and a chance to visit with neighbors and
friends. As well, about 140 orders of
shortcake were delivered to local businesses, keeping the crew busy in making
them up in assembly-line fashion.
Both events were judged successes by
organizers.
The Medstead Leisure Life held their meeting on Feb. 1st/2016 with 16 people
present. Birthday recipients were Clara Olson & Fred Grant. The March meeting will be held on the 7th of March at 7:30 pm. The next jam session will be on
Feb.28th/2016 at 2 pm in the Medstead Hall. Everyone is Welcome. The Family
Fun Day will be held on Sat. March 5th /2016 in the Medstead Arena at 2 pm
.There will be skating, curling, card games & a pot luck supper. Something for
all ages, come out and have some fun ! There is No Admission.

Blaine Lake mother-daughter
duo to perform at Telemiracle
With the 40th annual
Kinsmen
Telemiracle
only a couple short weeks
away, one mother-daughter duo from Blaine Lake
is hoping to shine a spotlight on the talent that’s
being grown in rural
communities across the
province.
Diana Woytiuk, who,
along with her husband
Keith, owns and operates
the Blaine Lake Ambulance, will be hitting the
stage with her 14-year-old
daughter Chloe around
3:30 p.m. on Sunday
March 6.
Together, the duo will
perform ABBA’s “Thank
You for the Music” – a
song choice Diana calls a
tribute to the important
role that music has played
in Telemiracle over the
past four decades.
Diana is no stranger
to Telemiracle. She’s already graced the stage
before to present $1,000
in proceeds raised by local hockey tournaments
that were put on by Blaine
Lake Ambulance.
But actually performing on stage at the Conexus Centre of the Arts
in Regina, is something
she and Chloe have been
wanting to do for years.
“Their audition week-

ends always fell on the
first weekend of October,
and that was always a
family weekend that was
immovable,” said Diana,
noting that Telemiracle’s
decision to hold auditions in November this
year finally made her and
Chloe’s dream a reality.
Both Diana and Chloe
are classically trained vocalists, and seasoned veterans of the competitive
festival circuit. Despite
this, Diana says that the
reality that they’d be performing set in very quickly after they received their
post-audition callback.
“We were excited, but
then the immensity of
what we were going to
be doing kind of hit both
of us. And both of us got
very nervous, very quickly,” she said.
“This is by far the biggest venue we’ve ever
performed at. It’s mindblowing for us to go from
school concerts, or performing at church, to go
to performing at the Centre of the Arts.”
As they prepare to perform, Diana says it all
comes down to one thing:
practicing their butts off
to ensure that they know
the song inside and out.
“It’s just getting to the
point that it’s automatic.
If you’ve got those [technical aspects] down cold,
and you go out there, you
have a great time.”
John and Irene Roth were among about five dozen people who enjoyed a meal
of ancakes and sausages at the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper. Mary Hujber
had stopped to visit, but Irene knew she was going to get her picture taken, so…
Fay Berg and Ruth French are on the assembly line making up orders of strawberry shortcake that will be delivered around town.
The Valentine Social was an opportunity to visit with friends and neighbors,
and have a delicious dessert at the same time.

Three games, three wins for Timberwolves
The Spiritwood Timberwolves finished their regular schedule with three
wins in three nights, giving them a lock on fourth
place in the North Sask
Female Hockey League.
The fourth place finish
puts them against the
fifth-place Prince Albert
A&W Foxes in the first
round of the playoffs.
The series is a two-game
total-goal affair, with the
winner advancing to the
semi-final
The Foxes were one of
the three victims of the
surging
Timberwolves
last weekend, as the
Wolves came from behind with two goals in
the third period to upend
them 2-1 on Saturday.
The
Timberwolves
started their three-game
run with an 11-0 win
over Onion Lake on Friday, and completed it by
beating the second-place
Battleford Sharks 5-4 on
Sunday.
A
Spiritwood-Prince
Albert series should be
a barnburner. The four
games were spilt 2-2,
with the Foxes outscoring
the Wolves by the narrow
margin of 16-15.
The winner of that series will face the winner
of third place Nipawin
and sixth place Hudson
Bay.
As of Monday, there was
one game remaining before playoffs begin. That
game was between Battleford and Onion Lake,
with no impact on the
standings for either team.
Tisdale Ramblers finished the 20-game schedule with a record of 19
wins and a tie. Tisdale
will play Onion Lake in
the first round, while
Battleford will take on
Drake.

sarily mean relocating to
a senior community. More
and more, adults choose to
“age in place,” remaining
in their current home, even
after retirement. Here are
a few ways to add extra
convenience today – and
ensure a safe home in the
future.
Change Up Common Areas
When thinking about the
long-term, start with the
layout. In a perfect world,
it’s ideal to have all the key
living spaces – bathroom,
kitchen, and bedroom
on the first floor. If your
home wasn’t built with
a first-floor bedroom or
bath, and stairs have to be
a part of your plan, install
no-slip strips on the edge
of each stair to limit trips
and falls.
Next, make sure there’s
plenty of room to move.
Aim for doorways that are
at least 31 inches, though
35 inches is ideal. Tight
corners and doorways
are a challenge for those
with walkers or canes. For
stress-free opening and
closing, change out door
handles from traditional
knobs to lever handles for
an easier grip.
Then, focus on the flooring. Installing carpeting
can provide warmth and
cushioning for you to enjoy
now, and offers an added
element of safety when it
might be harder to maneuver around in the future.
Choose a low pile carpet
to minimize tripping – too
much shag is a safety hazard. Area rugs are a major
no-no, as unsecured rugs
and loose carpet are one
of the main causes for slips
and falls. If you can’t bear
the thought of losing your
area rug, use carpet tape
to secure it firmly to the
floor.
Boost the Bath
If you can only update
one place in your home,
make it the bathroom. The
bathroom typically offers
the most opportunities for
injury. In fact, one in three
seniors will experience
a fall in their home each
year, as stated by the Public Health Agency of Canada. An easy way to incorporate safety is to install grab
bars. Today’s grab bars are
stylish, fitting in seamless-
11
ly with your space, rather
than seeming obtrusive
and sterile. Install them
near the toilet, (make sure
you have a comfort-height
commode for easy sitting
and standing) as well as in
the shower. Some models,
like the corner shelf with
grab bar from Moen, pull
double duty, adding an element of additional storage
where you can store your
shampoo, while also helping keep you safe while entering and exiting the bath.
A handheld showerhead,
like the Magnetix from
Moen Canada, is an ideal
option for those who may
want to be seated while
they bathe. Magnetix hand
showers are also handy
for cleaning, by eliminating bending and squatting. Finally, at the vanity,
choose a faucet with lever
handles – they’re easiest to
grip and turn – and install
sconces near the mirror for
additional lighting.
The most important advice for any room in your
home is to think efficiently. Locate items that work
together near each other to
make tasks easier.

Silvertips take 2-0 lead in
series against Battleford
If the Shellbrook Silvertips’ opening playoff game
last Thursday evening
felt anything like déja vu,
it would certainly make
sense.
That’s because it was only
a year ago that the team
found themselves in round
one of the Saskatchewan
Prairie Hockey League
playoffs in a best-of-five series against the Battleford
Beaver Blues - a series that
they ended up losing, after
a collapse in game 5.
But when the Tips hit the
road last week to kick off
the action in Battleford,
they were hoping that was
where the déja vu would
end.
Tips (4) @ Blues (1)
Unfortunately,
things
didn’t look so great for the
Tips in the early going of
game 1, as it was the Beaver Blues that drew first
blood just five minutes into
the match. Jon Hosegood
netted the goal after taking a feed from teammate
Jerome Boucher in the offensive zone.
But despite this slow
start, the Silvertips were
gradually able to impose
their will on the Blues.
They drew even late in the
frame, when Parker Turner
found Brett Mason in the
slot, and he blasted home a
one-timer high glove side.
From there, it was all
Tips, as Devon Dicus, Josh
Elliot, and Austen Kalyn all
netted single goals to secure the Tips 4-1 victory in
game 1 and send the action
home for game 2.
Elliot, Brendon Canaday,
Tavis Wason, and Mitch
Wourms all had single assists on the evening.
Tips (6) vs Blues (2)
Given only 24 hours to
rest, the Silvertips were
back in action on Friday

evening, but this time
in front of an energized
hometown crowd. The
overwhelming
support
from the Tips’ fans proved
to be more than enough
motivation for the Tips,
who cruised to a 6-2 victory, and a 2-0 series lead
over the Blues.
Back in the lineup for
Friday’s matchup, Tips’
points leader Dylan Smith
had a big night, earning
two goals and three assists
for his efforts. Linemate
Devon Dicus also had two
goals on the night, while
Brett Mason netted a goal
and three helpers, and Josh
Elliot earned a goal and an
assist.
In the helper column,
Mitch Wourms chipped
in with two assists, while
Brendon Beaulac, Austen
Kalyn, and captain Nick
Martin all had singles.
On
the
Battleford
scoresheet, there was decidedly less to cheer about,
as Brent Salzl and Keegan
Sparrow scored the visitors’ goals. Kevin Bendall
and Kelsey Sproule, meanwhile, each had a single assist on the evening.
With their 2-0 lead in
the best-of-five series, the
Tips had an opportunity
to sweep the Blues, and
punch their ticket to the
second round of the playoffs at home on Wednesday
evening.
The scoresheet for the
game was not available

When is it necessary to supplement extra energy in rations?
Jenifer Heyden, PAg
Regional Livestock
Specialist,
North Battleford
Throughout the lifetime
of an animal, there will be
certain stages in their life
and their production cycles
where energy demands and
requirements will be higher.
Let’s review some examples.
In the beef cow production cycle, the 30 days prior
to calving and the 70 days
following calving are referred to as the critical period – or the “100 day contract”. The nutritional needs
for the cow during the critical period are about equal to
her needs for the remainder
of the year. During this critical period, or 100 day contract, the cow is on a rising
plane of nutrition. The 70
days after calving is a time
of great demand on the cow.
She must produce milk, repair her reproductive tract,
begin cycling, and re-breed.
Cows that are energy or protein deficient during this period will be less likely to begin cyclingand to conceive
early. Nutritional shortfalls
during this critical time can
have economic consequences that are evident in the
next calf crop and beyond.
Pregnant heifers are
young growing animals and
tend not to effectively compete with mature cows for
feed . These heifers require
good quality hay and extra
grain to meet their energy
requirements and needs for
growth and development.
They are gaining body
weight in addition to developing and supporting a first
pregnancy. It is important
to monitor body condition
as calving approaches. Underfed heifers will be weak
at calving while overly fat
heifers will experience increased calving difficulties.
Once that new calf is on
the ground it’s important
to continue monitoring
and conditioning the new
mother. Lactation is stressful. Proper nutrition is a
must. The heifer’s nutrient
requirements are greater
than ever. She is putting energy and protein into maintaining her body, nursing a
calf, recovering from calving, cycling, rebreeding and
she’s not finished growing
yet. If nutrition at lactation
is not adequate, she may fail
to show heat and rebreed on
schedule, or at all.
During extreme cold or
windy weather, cows should
be given all the hay they’ll
clean up – the better the
quality, the better the digestion process and the more
energy they’ll get. The rate
of digestion increases and
the time available for digestion decreases. Therefore,
more readily digestible
feeds such as barley or oats
or a very high quality forage are often required. Poor
quality limits consumption,
and poor quality forage
alone is not adequate during cold weather. In general,
for every 10 degree drop in
temperature below minus
20 degrees Celsius (at midday), beef cows require an
extra three to four pounds
of barley or oats. Adding
more straw or low quality
forage will not meet their
higher energy needs.
Top performing bulls will
be busy and lose weight
during the breeding season so they need to be in
adequate condition before
breeding begins. During the
pre-breeding period, bulls
should be physically and
nutritionally prepared for
the work ahead of them. It
will be a time where extra
protein and energy in the
ration are a must. Also remember young bulls are
still growing and may need
extra feed during the breeding season to meet their nutrient requirements.
Young animals in backgrounding and finishing
programs have higher energy requirements than older,
mature stock. Energy provided in a step up program
in backgrounding and finishing diets must increase
at each step up stage. For
example, calves entering the
lot at 450-500 pounds will
be put on a starter ration
providing 67.5 percent total
digestible nutrients (TDN) energy. As they move from
ration to ration through the
step up program, energy in
the diet increases from the
initial 67.5 percent all the
way up to 80 percent in the
final finishing ration of the
step up program.
A mature horse requires
2.5 – 3 percent of their body
weight as dry matter feed. If
hay is 85 percent dry matter
and a horse is 1000 pounds,
30-35 pounds of that particular hay will be necessary
to meet their dry matter requirement. Mature horses
generally require eight percent crude protein in their
diet, regardless of activity
level. Their requirement for
energy however, increases
as their workload increases.
Horses with higher energy
requirements should be
fed forage in the amount
of 1.5 – 2 percent of their
body weight per day; grains
or pellets are then used to
increase the energy content of the diet and meet
the remaining dry matter
requirement.
Situations
where higher energy diets
would be necessary would
include athletic horses,
horses being used for work,
mares in late pregnancy or
lactation, or horses that are
thin or in poor condition.
Grain/pellets can also be
used to supply energy and
protein when poor quality
hay is being fed. When temperatures dip, the best heat
source for a horse is extra
hay. In the winter, feeding
forage heats a horse from
the inside out – grain does
not have this same effect.
Hay actually helps warm
the horse because it releases
heat as it is digested.
Throughout the lifetime
of an animal there will
be certain stages in their
life and production cycles
where energy demands and
requirements will be higher.
Animals in poor condition
require extra energy. Young
stock has higher energy
requirements versus their
older, mature counterparts.
Female livestock in the late
stages of pregnancy, in lactation and prior to breeding
have higher energy requirements than females in the
early stages of gestation.
Athletic livestock or those
with heavy workloads have
higher requirements than
those in a maintenance position. During winter, cold
weather means energy re-
quirements will be higher
and most likely need to be
supplemented in livestock
rations.
