New Facilities Operations Manager - Page 2 n Whitewood School graduation HERALD WHITEWOOD Saskatchewan’s Oldest Continuing Weekly Newspaper – Published since 1893 Monday, June 10, 2013 Single copy: $1.25 (GST Included) Visit us online: www.whitewoodherald.com PMA40006725 Volume 121, No. 23 Hometown Tour Broadview is showcased on CTV newscast By Donna Beutler CTV’s Hometown Tour is on the road again and this year Broadview was one of the communities selected for the “spring” tour. Broadcasters Danelle Boivin and Dan MacIntosh and their television crew arrived in Broadview on their big “Hometown Tour” bus last Wednesday afternoon for a visit to the community. Some of their stops included Broadview’s new licencesed daycare facility, the school, the hospital, a private care home, the museum and the CPR train station which, this year, celebrates its 100th birthday. Event organizer Kathryn Markwart told the Herald the CTV news broadcasters and crew were able to visit each of the places organizers had hoped they would be able to visit, including she said, the Broadview Bakery, well-known for its delicious bread, doughnuts and other baked goods. Their stop at the care home allowed Boivin and MacIntosh an opportunity to visit with some of the senior residents of the community. As well, they had the opportunity to spend some time with the youngest of the community at their newly opened licenced daycare facility. The tour also included a barbeque at the ball diamonds where hundreds of residents gathered for supper and for the 6 p.m. broadcast. The broadcast included the news of the day but also featured highlights of the news team’s visit to various places in Broadview and some of what Broadview has to offer as a community. Markwart estimates that there were in the neighbourhood of 300 people out for the barbeque, all of who helped cheer Broadview on during the live portion of the broadcast. Long-time resident Alex Wyllie was nominated by the community of Broadview to be their Hometown Hero and to be honoured by the Hometown Tour. Wyllie ran Wyllie’s grocery store for many years in Broadview, he was Mayor of Broadview at one time, and has been involved in the Lions and other community service groups. Markwart told the Herald that Alex Wyllie has been very involved in the community for years and years and was the natural choice for the Hometown Hero award. The CTV Hometown Tour began in 2009. Since that time approximately 120 communities around the province have been visited, including Whitewood last fall. Broadcasting live from Broadview Photo by Donna Beutler CTV’s Dan MacIntosh and Danelle Boivin were in Broadview last Wednesday where they visited a number of places in town and featured the community in their Hometown Tour series. Approximately 300 Broadview and area residents were on hand for the event. Proceeds being donated Local businesses get behind fundraising projects By Donna Beutler A number of local businesses have taken it upon themselves to join in on local fundraising projects to help bring recreational projects to life. Carson’s Car Wash and R. Thompson Construction are two Whitewood businesses that have gotten behind fundraising projects recently, taking it upon themselves to donate proceeds, or a portion of proceeds to several local projects. Carson’s Car Wash owners Dennis and Hilda Brûlé made a $400 contribution to the Pool Your Pennies campaign last week, money that was brought in from vehicles that were washed on June 1. Close to $300 was raised throughout the one day, with the owners bumping it up to $400. R. Thompson Construction Ltd., also took it upon themselves to lend a hand to the local ball diamonds and pool projects in Whitewood, as well as the playground project at Bird’s Point, Round Lake. The company has made a five year commitment to the respective projects. With the theme of “helping build communities,” Richard and Patsy Thompson say their company will donate $500 for playground upgrades at Bird’s Point for every new home or cottage contract within the Village of Bird’s Point between now and June 1st of 2018. Likewise, they will donate $500 to ball diamond upgrades and pool projects (swimming pool/water park) in Whitewood for every new home build in the Town of Whitewood from now until June 1, 2018. The Thompson’s say they are committed to giving back to the communities they serve and felt that these projects were worthy ones to lend their financial support to. “We just see this as a way of investing in our communities to help make them a better place,” said Patsy Thompson. R. Thompson Construction has been in the business of building homes for many years in Whitewood and surrounding area and continue to serve the area with their construction business. Anyone requiring further information about “Helping Build Communities” can contact R. Thompson Construction. 2 The Whitewood Herald June 10, 2013 Bahm begins position as facilities manager By Chris Ashfield Whitewood’s new Facility Operations Manager started work with the Town of Whitewood last week, filling a position that has remained vacant since February.

Pool opening June 15th By Donna Beutler The swimming pool in Whitewood is fast approaching opening day says Lee Aldous, a councillor for the Town of Whitewood. June 15th is the date that has been set for pool opening providing it passes the health inspection. Registration forms for swimming lessons are being sent home with school students and plans are fully underway for a great swimming season at the outdoor pool located next to the campgrounds, golf course, and kids’ playground. Aldous says she has met with pool staff and is excited about the upcoming season, saying they are doing some clean up and painting at the facility in preparation for opening day. More information about swimming pool staff and lesson dates can be found in the Town of Whitewood’s ad appearing in this week’s issue of the Herald. 13063PC00 The Whitewood Herald June 10, 2013 3 Drinking and driving Mother of teen killed opens up to students By Donna Beutler It’s not an easy story to tell and it’s not an easy story to listen to, but it is a story that makes an impact on those who hear it. It’s a story of tragedy and heartbreak and it sends a strong message about drinking and driving, a message that the Whitewood Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) helped deliver when they invited guest speaker Cheryl Dubuis to talk to students at Whitewood School. Dubuis was in Whitewood last Tuesday sharing the story of her daughter, Danae, who died nearly 13 years ago. Dubuis’ presentation, ‘Danae’s Song’ is a tribute to the life and death of a beautiful, vivacious 16-year-old Saskatoon girl. Amidst various photos of her daughter, the smashed up car she had been injured in, and Danae in her coffin, Dubuis talked about her musically talented daughter, a courageous and confident teenager who had good marks in school and who worked hard, saving and investing her money, who enjoyed life and all that it had to offer. Dubuis said she had talked to Danae about being kind to others and about making others comfortable, saying, “Leaving footprints on someone else’s heart is the biggest legacy you can leave,” something she told Whitewood School students Danae had done. Dubuis went on to describe the last time she spoke to Danae. “I had no way of knowing that was the last time I would hear her voice,” she said of the last phone conversation she had with her. “On Sunday, October 1, 2000, at 3:30 in the morning,” Dubuis told her audience, she received a call from her husband in Saskatoon saying Danae had been in an accident. Dubuis left her parents’ home in Edmonton where she had been visiting, driving straight to the University Hospital in Saskatoon to be at Danae’s side. She looked good, Dubuis said, but her medical updates were never good. “I just knew,” she said, “that she was going to die.” The brain injury that Danae had suffered in the accident resulted in doctor’s determining that she was brain dead and it left the Dubuis family with the heartbreaking knowl- Sharing “Danae’s song” Photo by Donna Beutler Cheryl Dubuis gave a moving tribute of the life and death of her daughter Danae, who died at the age of 16 after getting into a car driven by someone who had been drinking. Dubuis shared her story at Whitewood School last Tuesday. edge that their daughter and sister would never come home. “She was 16. I wanted to hold her in my arms as she died,” Danae’s mother said, wiping tears from her eyes as she recalled those agonizing moments when she had to come to grips with the inevitability of Danae’s death. Because the family had decided to donate Danae’s organs, Dubuis would not get her wish to hold her daughter as she died so before Danae was taken to the OR, Dubuis crawled into bed with her “one last time” and studied her face. “I would have changed places with her if I could,” Dubuis said, telling students that their parents would do the same for them if they could. “Take me instead,” was Dubuis’ prayer, “and let Danae go home.” Dubuis described her family’s final walk with Danae, as Danae was wheeled to the doors of the OR where they left her. “The hardest thing I ever did was turn and walk away from her,” Dubuis said of those heartwrenching last moments before Danae’s life came to an end. Dubuis told her audience that three attempts had been made to stop Danae’s boyfriend from driving that night. “Why did she get in the car?” Dubuis asks, knowing she will never know the answer. All that she knows is that one bad decision on Danae’s part cost her her life. Danae’s boyfriend received a 15-month sentence to be served in the community for impaired driving causing death and for having a blood-alcohol level over .08. Since Danae’s death, Cheryl Dubuis has reached more than 125,000 students across Canada and the United States with her presentation, “Danae’s Song.” TOWN OFFICE 731 Lalonde St. • Box 129 Whitewood, SK. • S0G 5C0 Phone (306) 735-2210 Fax (306) 735-2262 Email: [email protected] WEB: www.townofwhitewood.ca SWIMMING POOL OPENS RECREATION OFFICE Manager: Mathew Bahm Ph: (306) 735-4415 Fax: (306) 735-4396 Email: [email protected] Ricki Lee Scott Pool Supervisor TOWN PERSONNEL Bailey Poncelet Guard Chief Administrative Officer: Sharon Rodgers Administrative Assistant: Michelle Struthers Mayor: Doug Armstrong Town Councillors: Lee Aldous, Denise Istace, Todd Maki, Gord McEwen, Tony Saltasuk, Brian Stevenson Town Employees: Harry Malansky, Trent Merkel, Tyson Thompson, David Saltasuk, Kristina Picciano, Lyle Vennard, POOL STAFF SUMMER 2013 Kourtnay Bear Andrew Istace JUNE 15, 2013 Carmen Johanson RECYCLE BIN HOURS: Mondays - 9 a.m. to 12 noon Wednesdays: 9 a.m. to 12 noon Saturdays - 9 a.m. to 12 noon GARBAGE PICKUP Residential every Wednesday Carts must be curbside by 7 a.m. LANDFILL HOURS: Mondays: 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Wednesdays: 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Saturdays: 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. LESSON SESSIONS SESSION 1: July 8-19 mornings SESSION 2: July 22 - August 2 mornings SESSION 3: July 15-22 – supper hour TO REGISTER PLEASE CONTACT MATHEW AT THE REC OFFICE 735-4415 4 The Whitewood Herald June 10, 2013 EDITORIAL “For the cause that needs assistance; for the wrong that needs resistance; the future in the distance and the good that we can do.” Local opinion and comment The straw that broke the camel’s back I joined the Reform/Conservative movements because I thought we were somehow different, a band of Ottawa outsiders riding into town to clean the place up, promoting open government and accountability. I barely recognize ourselves, and worse I fear that we have morphed into what we once mocked,” Conservative MP Brent Rathgeber wrote in his blog last week after quitting Tory caucus over ‘transparency’ issues. The Edmonton-St. Albert MP’s announcement came within hours of his party pushing for changes to his private member’s bill which called for the disclosure of any public-sector salaries with earnings of approximately $188,000 or more upon request. Legislation instead decided on an amount of over $400,000, causing Rathgeber to conclude that “the government’s lack of support for my transparency bill is tantamount to a lack of support for transparency and open government generally.” Rathgeber calls the Conservatives’ decision not to support his bill, the straw that broke the camel’s back. While we can go on from these comments and discuss whether MPs speak for their constituents or whether they must keep Gov’t’s lack of support within party guidelines, for transparency there’s a much bigger picture that appears when we consider Rathgeber’s words .... “I fear that we The public’s perception have morphed into what we once mocked.” of Ottawa Many voters bought into the ‘transparency/accountability’ line that was preached by the Conservatives, coming on the heals of a Liberal scandal, not all so many years ago when the Conservatives took power with its first of two consecutive minority wins, in 2006 and 2008, and then in 2011 with its majority win. Do voters feel that the Conservatives have morphed into what they once mocked? Is it inevitable that (some) politicians become what they fought to get rid of in the first place? Is there a feeling of entitlement when our politicians get to Ottawa? Is the peer pressure too great? Does a taste of power change a politician with good intentions into a ‘go-with-the-flow’ type of person with a loosened sense of responsibility? If Rathgeber fears his party has morphed into what they once mocked, he isn’t likely the only MP thinking that. But that doesn’t totally matter because it really is the public’s perception and how they see it. The voters, after all, will always make the final determination.

Admittedly, this has largely been the success formula for the Saskatchewan Party, which has enjoyed the added luxury of governing during perhaps the best economic period in the province’s history. In fact, 2008 was the best economic year Saskatchewan has seen - a stark contrast to what the rest of the country was going through. Some might go so far as to argue this is why Premier Brad Wall has delivered better government than Prime Minister Stephen Harper. But the reason why Harper’s Conservatives are in trouble today has precious little to do with the dip in 2008 that they actually weathered rather well. The difference between the Wall and Harper administration goes back to what each should have learned in governance 101 about being elected to serve the people’s interests and not your own. Except for a few notable bumps, Wall’s provincial government has consistently left the impression in its six years that the public need comes first. Few would describe Harper’s federal government in that way right now. And nowhere is this more evident than Harper’s handling of the Senate. The issues here goes well beyond the ethics of either Senators Mike Duffy or Pamela Wallin claiming tens of thousands of dollars to which they likely were not entitled. (Although, it is sad to see a stand-up individual like Wallin caught in her expense travel quagmire.) The issue isn’t even so much Duffy secretly getting a $90,000 cheque from Harper’s well-heeled former chief-of-staff Nigel Wright. (Although, the old saying that it’s not the crime but the cover up that tends to get you in trouble in politics.) The issue is the loss of moral compass by a Conservative government that was elected largely because of the sponsorship scandal in which Liberals demonstrated their own self-in- 2013 WINNER CCNA BETTER NEWSPAPERS COMPETITION terest outweighing the interests of the voters that elected them. That we would see this misspending and cover-ups from Conservatives in the Senate the place Harper once called a haven for Liberal partisans that he intended to reform through elections and accountability - is almost shocking. Consider the fact that Duffy and Wallin were not long-serving Conservative fund-raisers being awarded for years of contribution to the party. Harper appointed them to Senate so they could become Conservative bagmen. Is this how Conservatives envisioned Senate reform? Did anyone believe this is what Stephen Harper stood for 10 years ago? How badly Harper and Conservatives have lost sight of whose interests they represent can best be summed up by former Triple-E advocate Bert Brown, who said in an interview that Conservative Senators don’t even bother to attempt to represent the interests of their province. “They just follow what their party’s leadership tells them to do, Brown told the Huffington Post website. “I was there for five years and eight months and we voted everything that was voted to the Conservative government - every one. There was one guy who said he wanted to abstain once.” It was rare honest admission of the problems in federal Conservative ranks, albeit one that has come a little too late and is salted with a lot of hypocrisy. It was also Brown who also offered this view of the Senate two years ago: “Every senator in this caucus needs to decide where their loyalty should be and must be,” Brown wrote. “The answer is simple; our loyalty is to the man who brought us here, the man who has wanted Senate reform since he entered politics, the Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper.” Essentially, this is the problem. Harper, Conservatives and their appointees bought in the mindset that political interests come first. They’ve forgotten the most basic lesson in governance. tattoos a sign of LETTERS EDITOR Are being promiscuous? The Whitewood Herald June 10, 2013 TO THE 5 In My World Your voice... Your opinion... Your opportunity to be heard Last Post fund Dear Editor; I thought you’d like to know that MP Ed Komarnicki recently voted against Canadian veterans by opposing motion M-422, which called on the federal government to fix The Last Post Fund. The Last Post Fund is supposed to ensure that no veteran goes without a dignified funeral and burial because of a lack of financial means, yet too many veterans in need are being excluded. Veterans applying for assistance have faced staggering rejection rates of over 66% and all but a few veterans who served since the Korean War do not even qualify. That is no way to treat the courageous men and women who have fought and sacrificed so much for our country. While Budget 2013 did increase the funding for funerals under the Last Post Fund, it did nothing to fix its outdated criteria. No more veterans will qualify despite the increase in funding for a funeral. That’s why motion M-422 called on the government to accept the recommendations Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed. - Cavett Robert of the Royal Canadian Legion, successive Veteran’s Ombudsmen and their own officials to fix it. This is not a partisan issue. It is something that all members regardless of party affiliation should have been able to support. Yet Mr. Komarnicki voted against it. Yours sincerely, Judy M. Foote, MP Random-Burin-St. George’s Playing politics with mental health Dear Editor, By playing politics with mental illness, MP Ed Komarnicki and the Conservative Party are not only stigmatizing those living with mental health issues, they are making our streets less safe. First, some context. Our justice system provides a third option for those who, at the time of the act, were too sick SUDOKU 8 to understand what they did was wrong— people who are deemed “not criminally responsible.” These individuals are incarcerated in a secure facility with psychiatric services. Before they can rejoin society their case is considered by special board that is better equipped than a regular court to determine their treatment and the level of danger they pose. The Conservatives are trying to mislead the public into thinking this system is broken. In fact, the government’s own research shows that its success rate is high – offenders have drastically lower rates of re-offending than in mainstream correction systems. Yet under the Conservatives’ Bill C-54, one serious offence would brand someone as liable to repeat-offend or present a greater risk to By KrazyDad 7 2 5 4 6 3 2 7 2 3 6 7 5 1 6 7 5 8 4 2 7 3 9 3 2 1 7 Difficulty: Challenging © 2013 KrazyDad.com Fill in the blank squares so that each row, each column and each 3-by-3 block contain all of the digits 1 thru 9.

This will force them into mainstream prison, from which they will almost certainly emerge far more dangerous and likely to re-offend. The Conservatives argue that Bill C-54 is about the rights of victims. If these changes were only about advancing the rights of victims, the Liberal Party would support them. But Bill C-54 goes well beyond that and stigmatizes the mentally ill, and offends basic Charter protections that will ultimately weaken the rights of every Canadian. We simply cannot support that. This damaging stigma will make it harder to get people into treatment – yet treatment is Sudoku Puzzle #23 most effective preven(6/04/2013) tative measure for the few people with mental illness who commit serious offences. By voting for C-54, Mr. Komarnicki is playing on the politics of fear to perpetuate myths and stereotypes about mental illness. That is wrong—and will make us less safe. Yours sincerely, Bob Rae, MP Liberal Party of Canada The Grouch sez... Freak out your neighbors. Name your wifi “FBI Surveillance Van.” I learned something last week about the opposite sex and a tool they use to attract men. And I thought I knew everything. According to a new study conducted by researcher Nicolas Gueguen in France – and backed up by previous research in Poland – it has been proven that women with tattoos attract men. Particularly, those woman with a butterfly tattoo on her lower back are the ones with the greatest appeal to men. The study was done by having women considered to be above-average in attractiveness go to a public beach where they would lay on their stomach and read a book. Some of these women would have a temporary butterfly tattoo on their lower back while the others would not. The results were that significantly more men approached the women with the tattoo. Not only that, but men often approached the tattooed women sooner than they would those without tattoos. Not because the tattoo made her more attractive but because men believed those women were more likely to be receptive to their romantic overtures. So ladies, be warned. No matter what statement you are trying to make with those lower back tattoos or what your intentions are when showing it off, to men it is like a target. They hone in on it like bees to honey. It is a mark that makes you look promiscuous and outgoing. You may see a butterfly, but those men see an opportunity. Tattoos have been around for centuries but didn’t really start becoming popular in the mainstream society until the 1990’s. Since then, tattoos have gone from being associated with the “bad boy” stereotype to something that both men and women get as a form of expression and accomplishment. It is no longer criticized or shunned but something that is like art which many people proudly display. I personally do not have a tattoo. It’s not because I don’t like them or want one, but because I have never been able to settle on a tattoo I like enough to have it permanently inked on me. I am however married to a woman with a tattoo. Come to think of it, her tattoo is on her lower back. And it is a butterfly tattoo! Ay, caramba! Maybe that’s what attracted me to her? Could it be? Well, no! But I do admit that every time it is exposed and she walks away from me, my eyes do wander down and look at it. Maybe there is something to this study after all. Gueguen does make note that lower back tattoos do raise a kind of chicken-and-egg question however. He wonders whether a tattoo really signals greater openness to being promiscuous, or do tattooed women just get solicited more often, increasing the odds of them becoming more promiscuous? He says that remains to be studied, along with the impact of having multiple tattoos. One thing is for sure though – I will never get a lower back tattoo. Besides it being a girl thing to do, I don’t want all those strange men checking me out.

Last month, Curtis Dyckens resigned his position effective May 13 while Tyler Thompson informed council at their meeting last week that he would be quitting as of June 28. Dyckens had just been hired back in late March while Thompson has been employed with the Town for several years. Dyckens’ resignation was due to medical reasons, something Councillor Tony Saltasuk questioned as to whether the personnel committee knew about when he was hired. Councillor Gord McEwen, a member of the committee, told Council that Dyckens was very forthright in the interview, stating that he had back surgery over a year ago. He had been cleared by a doctor however and personally felt he was okay to go back to work and manage the job. McEwen went on to say that once Dyckens knew he could not do the physical work that the job required, he felt it was best to resign so that the Town would not have to deal with a worker’s compensation issue. Thompson’s resignation was accepted by Council at their June 3 meeting and did not come as a surprise to them. Answers to this puzzle can be found in the classified section During the May 21 council meeting, Thompson had asked for a personal leave of absence from June 30, 2013 to July 1, 2014; Council denied his request. Council knew that not giving Thompson time off may result in his resignation but many around the table felt granting a leave would put the Town in a bind. The Town was already short staffed with Dyckens’ departure and with three other staff out on worker’s compensation, not being able to hire a permanent replacement would prove to be difficult. “I don’t think we are in a position to grant a year’s leave of absence,” said Mayor Doug Armstrong. “He is very good and I would liked to have seen him stay. He was the kind of guy I would have liked to see be a long term employee,” said Councillor Brian Stevenson. Thompson’s last day with the Town will be June 28. The Town was already seeking a replacement for Dyckens and will be able to look at hiring more than one person from the resumes that are received.

The Whitewood Herald June 10, 2013 7 Men’s fastball Falcons battle back from 7-run deficit for the win By Chris Ashfield The Whitewood Falcons came back from a seven-run deficit in a game last week to clench a hard earned victory against the visiting Moosomin Marlins. Up and coming pitcher Braden Brûlé started off chucking for the team but struggled from keeping Moosomin players from advancing around the bases. By the end of the third inning, Whitewood was down 9-2 and were struggling both offensively and defensively. Shawn Stradeski took over on the pitching mound and things finally started to turn around for the team in the bottom of the fourth inning when the Falcons kept the Marlins players from crossing home plate while slowly finding their groove while at bat. By the end of the fifth inning, Whitewood managed to close the gap to just three runs with the score being 9-6. The sixth inning is where Whitewood turned the game upside down for the Marlins when the Falcons managed to score six runs to Moosomin’s two to take their first lead of the game. And after shutting down the final few batters in the top of the seventh, Whitewood clenched a hard earned 12-11 win. Whitewood’s Kayllum Isaac had an exceptional night at bat, hitting two home runs and scoring once more at his four times at the plate. Also managing to put the ball out of the park for the Falcons were teammates Jared Thompson, Dallas Heikkila and Adam Leepart. The Falcons next home games will be played this Tuesday night when the Kipling Oilers visit Whitewood and then June 18 against the Fleming Jets.

Riders appear to have an all-star team this season By Rod Pedersen The 2013 S a s k a t c h e w a n Roughriders training camp opened on June 2 in Saskatoon with a pair of workouts and although there was just a smattering of fans on hand for the morning session, the stands at Griffiths Stadium were packed for the afternoon practice. What the fans saw was an absolutely staggering amount of talent assembled on that synthetic turf! I mean, really, Roughrider GM Brendan Taman and head coach Corey Chamblin have put together a virtual All Star team for 2013 as Saskatchewan gets set to play host to the Grey Cup this November at Mosaic Stadium which is being renovated to accommodate 44,000 fans. First of all though, welcome back and thanks for reading this weekly Rider Insider column again this season here in the Whitewood Herald. This is a monumental year and it’s shaping up to be a thrilla-minute! When we last left you the Roughriders were walking off the field in Calgary following a crushing 36-30 last-minute defeat to the Stampeders in the West Division Semifinal in November. Although rookie coach Chamblin posted a three-win improvement from the disastrous year before (8-10), he knew that the club lacked a veteran presence if they are serious about challenging for the Grey Cup in Regina this time around. They got that in spades this off-season landing the CFL’s alltime leading receiver Geroy Simon from BC in a January trade and a month later Taman came out as the undisputed winner in free agency landing the 2012 Grey Cup Top Canadian, defensive end Ricky Foley, along with defensive back Dwight Anderson who’s generally regarded as the tops at his position in the CFL. The Riders also stole defensive back Weldon Brown from Edmonton and linebacker Tristan Black from the Grey Cup champion Argos. However the piece de resistance didn’t come until Sunday morning, just a few hours before the start of training camp. That’s when the team officially announced the signing of free agent defensive end John Chick. The Wyoming product won a Grey Cup with the Riders in 2007 and was the CFL’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player in 2009 before bolting to the NFL for subsequent stops in Indianapolis and Jacksonville. However after a brief auction for his services last week between bidders Hamilton, Saskatchewan and Calgary, Chick elected to “come back home”. To me that’s the icing on the cake. The cherry on top. This signing is what should push the Riders over the edge and into the Grey Cup in their own stadium once the snow starts flying. Although I have the Riders pegged for a second-place finish in the West (remember Chamblin has a lot of work ahead of him bringing all these new faces together), it’s my bold prediction that this club will be back in the dance for the first time since 2010. And, after a bitterly long, cold winter, the dance is finally about to begin! 8 The Whitewood Herald June 10, 2013 H Another triple crown for Cabrera? ow about a triple crown of Triple Crowns? Back-toback-to-back! Baseball has records it believes are untouchable: Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak; and Johnny Vander Meer’s consecutive no-hitters. But the way Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers is smashing the ball this year, he’s en route to accomplishing something that has never happened in the 135-year history of Major League Baseball: Back-to-back Triple Crown titles. And hey, if the 30-year-old Venezuelan leads the American League in batting average, home runs and runs-batted-in again, who would bet against him doing it again in 2014? — a triple crown of Triple Crowns. When Cabrera led the league in all three categories last year, he was the first American League hitter to do it since Carl Yaztrzemski of Boston Red Sox in 1967. Ted Williams of the Red Sox did it twice — in 1942 and 1947, while superstars of the game such as Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb, Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle are among the elite 16 players to totally dominate the three glamour hitting categories. There have been far more perfect games pitched (23, some of them by no-names like Phil Humber and Dallas Braden) than Triple Crown winners (every one a Hall of Famer). At last look, Cabrera was back on top of the A.L. in batting average (.367) and runs-batted-in (65) while sitting No. 2 in home runs with 17, three behind Chris Davis of the Orioles. ESPN. com’s Buster Olney tweeted that Cabrera is the first player in MLB history to enter the month of June with a batting average of at least .340 and at least 15 HR and 60 RBI. Of the 16 previous Triple Crown seasons, no player has followed up the next season by leading in even two categories. “I’ve been playing a long time, and he’s the best hitter I’ve ever seen,” Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter told Richard Justice of mlb.com. “I’ve never seen a guy that put the bat head on the ball as regularly as he does and on all pitches,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said to Justice. Not surprisingly, Cabrera is starting to be compared to some of the all-time greats — Aaron, Mays, Williams, Mantle, Ruth. “It’s too soon Kathy Brown elected to SE Sports & Recreation board The Southeast Connection Sport, Culture & Recreation District held its Annual General Meeting on May 29 in Sedley at the New Horizons Community Centre.

The CRTC will, as of December 2nd of this year, put caps on extra data and international roaming charges. Canadians will also be able to cancel cellphone contracts after two years without paying a cancellation fee. It’s all part of a new wireless code of conduct as unveiled last Monday by the CRTC. “Every day, Canadians rely on wireless devices while in their homes, at their jobs, at school or traveling abroad,” CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais said in a statement last week. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years.” Earlier this year, the CRTC held public hearings, learning from consumers about their concerns including lengthy contracts, cancellation fees, roaming charges and other issues. Canadians also shared their frustrations by letter and in an online forum. The new code will allow consumers to cancel their wireless contract after two years without paying a cancellation fee, even if their contract is for a longer term. It will cap extra data charges at $50 per month and international data roaming charges at $100 per month within one billing cycle to prevent “bill shock.” It will allow consumers to have their cellphones unlocked after 90 days, or immediately if the device is paid for in full. Cellphones will be nicate with customers using plain language.” The CTRC says contracts and other docu- ments will have to be written in a way that is easy and clear to be read and understood.

Those are often mundane to be completely honest. But a good interview, and that is reliant on the reporter asking good questions, and the person being interviewed being willing to respond in some depth, rarely stays on course with talk about only the topic of the story. A good interview is more of a winding path than a straight road from start to conclusion. The best times on the road are on those hairpin curves where I, as the journalist, get to set down my pen, and par- take in a conversation over a shared java. So recently I met up with Ivan Olynyk to discuss his recent penning of a manual on growing corn on the Canadian Prairies for winter grazing cattle. As a one-time farm boy, whose interest was always livestock, with a level of disdain for the monotony of driving a tractor around a field, a tedious process with a 12-foot implement behind a small Case tractor, the labour reducing aspect of what he was writing about was rather obvious. If cows can wander through the corn field and feed themselves, while spreading their own manure, during the AUCTION Vivian Murphy and Estate of Leonard Murphy Auction Show Horse Equipment and Acreage Auction Sunday, June 23 – 10:00 A.M.

(306) 647-2661 www.ukrainetzauction.com PL#915851 coldest months of the year, it sounds pretty good to me. But what I was particularly interested in when talking to Ivan was his comments on more and more farmer’s successfully growing corn to harvest and sell the grain. When I was growing up corn was something they grew in the United States and Ontario, with maybe some acres encroaching into Manitoba, but the idea of growing corn for grain in Saskatchewan would have been preposterous. Corn in those days was simply a crop requiring too many days to maturity, and too many heat units during the growing days, to be viable here. That things have changed so dramatically over the last 30 years is testament to just how dramatic of steps have been taken in varietal development. Of course, as Ivan and I discussed, it stands to reason that plant breeders, most of which work for large companies when it comes to corn, would look to create varieties to expand the range for corn. In the true heart of corn country in the United States, they are likely near the limit in terms of corn acres based on rotations, and other factors. So in order to sell more seed and to expand the market for new varieties, the boundaries of the normal range for corn has to expand. That means developing varieties which mature more quickly, requiring less heat units. Such varieties won’t hit the production levels achieved in an Iowa corn field, but to a Prairie farmer looking for a high-value crop to grow in rotation with canola, corn can still be enticing. The conversation soon grew to include some talk about soybeans. They are another crop option farmers are looking at in Saskatchewan in areas that only a decade ago they would never have even considered it. Again the value of soybeans make them attractive, if they can be successfully grown thanks to new varieties. If one wants to take a slightly longer view of things, we hear a lot about global weather patterns changing. Many see our weather evolving to something more akin to the weather of Montana and the Dakotas. While that change will bring with it challenges, it will also lend itself to growing more corn and soybeans. The Prairies may have been broke to grow wheat, and Canada may have earned a reputation as ‘Bread Basket to the World’ because of that wheat, but things are changing. Cereal grains are a hard way to make money, and producers have embraced canola, pulse crops, and explored everything from borage to quinoa looking for alternatives to wheat, oats and barley. Ivan suggested the search might be over thanks to the expanding ranges for corn and soybeans. I would have to agree, that along with canola, the three are likely to hold the interest of farmers as the crops with the best potential to generate significant gross returns per acre.

The whopper kind, or the subtle, just slightly off truth so it sounds like it might be true, but is off enough so that when the story gets passed on to the next person, it gets twisted a little more, and more until from the original perspective, it’s now a whopper, but people believe it because they’ve slowly become accepting of the slight twists. Think about this… What if, God IS real, and Satan is a subtle liar. Over thousands of years, Satan has been twisting the truth, just a little bit, so people will believe, or start to question the actual truth, pass it on and on, and it gets twisted more and more until a few generations later, he has people believing that instead of being created by a loving God who wants to give them the planet, he has them believing they came, by accident from some primordial soup, hell isn’t real, and oh yeah, God doesn’t really exist either. How loud do you figure you’ll want to scream LIAR!!! if you get to “the end” and find out that Satan was the biggest liar of them all? The last part of John 8:44 describes Satan as “he is a liar and the father of lies and of all that is false.” I challenge you, whether you believe in God or not, to ask God to reveal to you the truth. If I’m wrong, I’ve lost nothing and turn into dirt. But if God is the truth, and you’ve believed the liar, you’re spending eternity suffering, because of the LIAR!!!!! Trent M.

The widening of shoulders, grading and paving at this location will upgrade and expand the driving surface of the highway. The new pave- ment will be capable of carrying primary weight, which is the highest legal weight shippers can carry on Saskatchewan highways. “This area was damaged by flooding in 2011 and since then we have been working hard to repair and upgrade the highway,” Moosomin MLA Don Toth said on behalf of Highways and AUCTION Norman & rose Sveinbjornson AUCTION Saturday, June 22 – 10:10 A.M.

The improved road surface helps to create a primary weight corridor, which will attract more traffic and open up transport routes for the burgeoning oil industry in the region.” Traffic will be reduced to one lane at times during construction, and motorists passing through the area are advised to obey flag people and consider setting aside extra time for travel. Completion of the project is currently targeted for summer 2014. “The RM of Kingsley is looking forward to an upgraded, completed Highway 48,” Rural Municipality of Kingsley Reeve Lorne Rygh said. “An improved highway will provide a serviceable road for traffic and allow a return to normal maintenance schedules. Many travellers have taken other highways to bypass Highway 48 and we hope these people will return, which will benefit the town and community.” All motorists are reminded they must slow to 60 km/hr in highway work zones. New simplified signage will direct drivers exactly when to slow to 60 km/hr. Drivers now face three times the normal fines for speeding and heavier enforcement in work zones. For your safety and the safety of workers, slow to 60 km/hr. The government has invested a record $3.7 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2007.
