The staff at the Shellbrook Hospital poses for a photo during a barbecue on May 9, one of many events being held in order to say goodbye to their old facility.

Hospital staff prepares for moveA number of different emotions are surfacing as staff

and residents prepare to leave the Shellbrook Hospital and Parkland Terrance behind in order to move into the new Parkland Integrated Health Centre. Patricia Couture, Director of Care at both the hospital and the long term care centre, is “very excited” about the move. She is quick to add, however, that other emotions are also at play. “Of course (we are) a little nervous as well. We’re dealing with lots of families, employees, as well as residents that have lived in the long term care centre, Parkland Terrace, for a number of years. So they are anxious about the pending move and the new site. But everybody is very excited and cannot really wait to be in a new work environment that is safe and so much better.”

Many logistical elements must be considered while planning the migration, everything from physically moving the equipment to ensuring that staff are pre-pared to function in the new facility. “It is very hectic,” Couture said. “It’s really about making sure that ev-erybody is safe in their work environment, that every-body gets the proper orientation, that they understand fi re safety plans and evacuation plans, and that they understand the new equipment that will be utilized. That’s really important. So it is a hectic time because communication is diffi cult, you’re dealing with over 150 employees in many different areas and many dif-ferent capacities. But we anticipated that it would be hectic.” Couture offered up an analogy that might help everyone see just how much work they have ahead of

them. “It’s like you’re moving from your house, only this is ten times larger.”

Couture also said that the transition period will con-tinue long after the fi nal box is emptied at the new fa-cility. “We are looking at the month of June as a set-tling in period, especially for acute care services. We haven’t had full 24-hour acute care services for almost two years. We have signifi cantly more doctors now, and we anticipate more coming to the community. That increases the services that are being utilized as well because people are coming back to the area for their ongoing health and education. That in itself is going to be a transition period. We know that six months in we’ll probably be making changes.

Construction work has resumed on Highway 40, west of Shellbrook. The project began last fall but was halted when winter conditions took over. The project involves the stretch of highway that begins at the junction of Highway 3 and Highway 40, and extends 13.5 km southwest, all the way past Parkside. Kirsten Leatherdale, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Highways and Infra-

structure, commented on the project in an interview on May 10. “The contrac-tor started that job last September, and now the contractor is back out on site to fi x up the granular material, compacting it and reworking it, and then he’s going to start paving next week, hopefully.”

Motorists in the area know that the break in construction made for a rough patch of highway throughout the winter

months. “It wasn’t in great condition,” commented Leatherdale. “There was some maintenance work done to that section over the winter.”

Now that work has resumed, motor-ists can expect the project to be com-pleted sometime in June. Until that time, however, some slow and diffi cult driving conditions will be present on the highway, and motorists are instructed

to use caution when navigating through the terrain and passing construction workers on site. “Traffi c is going to be accommodated through the construc-tion zone with pilot vehicles running traffi c on the one lane,” Leatherdale said. She also posed a reminder that it is the law to slow to 60 km/h when passing through a construction zone.

On Tuesday, May 14 a dinner was held at Neigh-bourhood Caterers where local community mem-bers gathered to greet Dr. Collins Egbujuo. Dr. Eg-bujuo was on a site visit to Shellbrook where he plans on taking up resi-dency in the fall.

Amund Otterson, Chairman of the Parkland Physician Recruitment and Retention Commit-tee, explained what these

site visits are all about. “When we fi nd a doctor who is interested, what we do is invite them to come and see the com-munity (so they can) get a feeling for the commu-nity, what it’s like, what the environment is like. Some of the time they are coming from fairly foreign places.” This is true for Dr. Egbujuo, who is originally from Nige-ria but has been living in

Winnipeg with his family for over a year now.

The event was a great success as community members lined the tables of the restaurant and cre-ated a warm, receptive environment for Dr. Eg-bujuo. “It was twofold,” Otterson said of the eve-ning, “in that it was also an opportunity for the new recruits, the three new doctors, to meet some community people

in a non-clinical environ-ment. I was very happy with the participation and the friendliness of the people and the recep-tiveness of our existing recruits.” Dr. Egbujuo was in great spirits, and spent the evening social-izing easily with everyone in the room. “He seems very excited to be able to come here and take ad-vantage of the program,” Otterson said.

He will have to temper that excitement for the time being, however, as there are still a few hur-dles that must be passed before Dr. Egbujuo can set up shop in town. He has already written the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Ex-amination (MCCEE), and passed. His next step is to enter into the Saskatchewan Interna-tional Physician Practice Assessment, or SIPPA, which will take place in Saskatoon. “His medi-cal degree and training indicate that he has the background and educa-tional skills and qualities to enter this program,” Otterson said. Follow-ing the two and a half

week SIPPA program, he will enter into a clinical fi eld assessment period, during which he will be stationed in a different health region somewhere in the province. If all goes well, Dr. Egbujuo should be able to begin work in town in September.

Otterson feels that the state of doctors in the area is certainly moving in the right direction. “We’ve had great prog-ress,” Otterson said. “Six months ago we had one permanent doctor and now we have four.” This is certainly good news for everyone in the com-munity, and a testament to the hard work that has been done in order to make it happen.

Continued from page 1What we do today isn’t going to be what we do to-

morrow because what we anticipate is going to work, might not. So everybody is prepared for that. As much as this is a major change, there’s also going to be ongo-ing changes as we settle into the new site.”

The fi nal emotion that Couture mentioned experi-encing was one of nostalgia for what they are leaving behind. “This has been our work-life home. For the residents down at the nursing home, that has been their home. They moved there to be in their commu-nities. They are giving up a lot to move. They felt we were providing a really great service down there. At some point they don’t understand why they have to move. “

As the emotional roller coaster slows to a stop, how-ever, Couture reiterates that it is her excitement that ultimately wins out. “It’s hard to say goodbye. But we’re just so excited to be going into such a wonderful, wonderful environment. And one that was community driven, which is really important.”

The moving process will begin the week of May 20, and the new facility plans to open for normal services on Monday, June 3.

Construction resumes on Hwy. 40

Continued from page 1

As a part of the same project, the contractor, An-derson Rentals and Paving, will also be working on an acceleration lane and a few turning lanes on Highway 3.

The acceleration lane will be added where High-way 40 meets Highway 3, and will be for eastbound traffi c. The lane will provide motorists turning onto Highway 3 a chance to gain speed before merging with traffi c.

“That’s a safety measure,” commented Leather-dale.

Two new turning lanes will also be added, accord-ing to Leatherdale. “Where 3rd Street East hits High-way 3 we’re building a right turn lane for eastbound traffi c there, and a left turn lane for westbound traf-fi c. That should be done later June, early July.”

She reiterated that, while this is all part of the same project, the priority will be to fi rst fi nish the work be-ing done on Highway 40.

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com May 17, 2013

Paul Martin CommentaryThe employment picture in April was a bit

unusual. In this month, virtually every cate-gory saw a decrease which is a departure from the trend that had been taking hold.

About the only thing that increased in the month was the overall population. Monthly declines were registered in the number of people in the labor pool, the number of people working, full-time jobs and overall employ-ment.

Nonetheless, compared to a year earlier 16,000 more people had a job. In the two pre-vious months that figure was well over 20,000 and, given that these data compiled through a survey, it might be better to think about this over a longer term which suggests we are still doing quite well.

Collection mechanism anomalies could result in in-creases of 24,000 are high and growth of 16,000 low so an average might be more insightful.

In the end, though, there is no doubt that this economy is still generating jobs and employers continue to scram-ble to find personnel and a move of a thousand here or a thousand there does not bring much relief.

***The provincial economy is going to grow by 2.4 per

cent this year, ahead of last year’s pace.That comes from the economists and bankers at BMO

Bank of Montreal. The institution has developed a new presentation for its forecasts, drawing on some models being used south of the border. They drew on the exper-tise of both sides of the street – from the bankers and from the economists – to compile this report which has this province among the top performers.

The report says Saskatchewan will out-perform last year’s showing and will turn in an even better result next year as the resource sector – particularly oil - continues

to fuel the upward trend. More resource in-vestment has led to population growth which has sparked increased activity in everything from housing to retail sales.

Although the potash sector was a little qui-eter, the report says the underlying funda-mentals remain in place so they are optimistic it will continue to be a major contributor.

Similarly agriculture has been on a posi-tive trend and while the late spring will cause some problems, they believe it will not be an economic drag.

***Every few months we get updates from the

economics units of major financial and re-search units on the outlook for the economy both nationally and regionally. Earlier this

week we had a report from BMO Bank of Montreal and we have a similar one from TD Canada Trust.

Both were similar in their findings. The economy of this province is still among the top two or three in the country – largely because of the resource sector and no-tably oil.

TD’s forecast says Saskatchewan will lead the nation this year, tied with Alberta and fall slightly behind our neighbor to the West next year as our two provinces en-tered 2013 with the most momentum in the nation. And we have the added benefit of a government with a sur-plus so fiscal rebalancing is a bigger issue next door.

The underlying story here is one of economic shifts. Western Canada is maintaining or strengthening its growing importance on the national scene. And, given that more people are moving here, that means over time we will also see that translate into increased political clout.

Stripes Among the Stars

It’s a good time of year for fans of televised sports. The NHL and NBA are both in the meaty part of their respec-tive playoffs, and Major League Baseball is in full swing. These days, it’s easy to let an entire evening sink away into the cushions of your couch, letting all your muscles rest except the ones inside your thumb that fl ex onto the

remote during commercials. It is the peak of relaxation; feet up with a drink in hand, pleasantly watching some of the world’s best athletes perform. Nothing can jar us from these slumber-ing moments more rudely, how-ever, than a sudden burst of in-adequate offi ciating.

We need referees and umpires in order to make the games go. There’s no question about it, they are vital component of the sports we love. Just like you couldn’t play a game of football without the goalposts. And, like goalposts, the best referees are ones that allow you to walk away at the end of the game not thinking about them at all. In fact, I’ve been involved in games

where it seems as though the goalposts and the refs even share the same IQ.

One thing that I always found hard to understand is the lack of accountability for professional offi cials. I can-not count how many times I’ve listened to an announc-er berate a player for a “terrible” pass, scold a coach for a “dumb” decision, but then let the referee off the hook when he or she makes a “questionable” call. And when a commentator does fi nally point out an offi cial’s mistake as bluntly as he would a coach or a player, you can be sure that his colleagues will downplay it, try to calm him down

and change the subject in an attempt to douse the fl ames. These referees and umpires are professionals as well, they are performing on their game’s highest stage, and they should be subjected to the same level of scru-tiny as everyone else.

There is another end to the spec-trum, however, and it involves offi ci-ating at the minor sports level. These are not professional refs. They are often volunteers who may or may not

possess a lot of experience, and they should be treated ac-cordingly. There is no excuse for a parent threatening a community member who has come out to police a youth sporting event. That’s not to say, however, that youth of-fi cials don’t have a large amount of responsibility, because they do. They are the facilitators. Their job is to allow the game to function and to keep the players safe. There’s nothing worse than an already glacial minor sporting event being prolonged by an offi cial who is trying to make the game about him or herself instead of the kids. They say that, in football, you could call holding on every play. That doesn’t mean that you should. Also, there is noth-ing wrong with pulling a young player aside after a play and explaining why he or she should have been called for a penalty, but then not calling it. Now you’ve taught a young athlete something about the sport, and you’ve done it in a way that keeps the game moving. No harm, no foul.

It’s always important to keep minor sporting events in perspective, and this holds just as true for those who are offi ciating it. As the level of competition increases, how-ever, and livelihoods become involved, things change. Players and coaches put in hours of hard work in order to perform, and so to should the offi cials. And when mis-takes are made they should all have to answer to the same degree of criticism.

When we talk about the need to build public infrastructure in rural Saskatch-ewan, we are usually talking about roads, schools and hospitals.

But some of the most pressing needs that the Saskatchewan Party government has tried to address are far less tangible ... although, no less crucial.

The need to address those with intellec-tually disabilities is one such infrastruc-ture need. And while Premier Brad Wall’s government may not have quite satisfied everyone, it’s made remarkably strides in this particular area.

Admittedly, the challenges facing intel-lectually disabled people in Saskatche-wan is not an exclusively rural issue. City parents of adult children with intellectual disabilities struggle as well.

That said, a larger population base makes it slightly easier for urban parents to get support services or establish group homes.

For those in smaller cities, towns and rural areas, these particular problems have always been a greater struggle.

Just five years ago, the Sask. Party gov-ernment announced its Community Liv-ing Waitlist Initiative (better known as

the 440 program) to address an identified 440 intellectual dis-abled people waiting for residential homes or day programming.

Add another 215 Community Living clients that were be-ing served beyond those identified on the initial 440 wait-list and what Wall’s government was dealing with was a

major challenge. In fact, it’s legitimate to ask how the

waitlist got so long under the previous NDP government that prided itself on be-ing more in tune to social needs.

What is clear, however, is that the Wall government decided to make this issue a priority, with the largest investment in Saskatchewan history in support of the intellectual disabled a total of $62.5 mil-lion since 2008.

The money for the 440 program pro-vided new or expanded services s in 41 communities throughout Saskatchewan,

funding 500 staff positions for commu-nity-based organizations (CBOs). As sug-gested earlier, with 75 new group homes built since the 440 program started, this social programming commitment has gone well beyond the cities.

And what has emerged as a result of this major effort can best be described as a network of support services, involving the Saskatchewan Association of Reha-bilitation Centres (SARC), Saskatchewan Approved Private Service Homes (APSH) Inc., Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, and many more individual CBOs.

“This is a milestone day for every one of the 440 people on the original wait list, and the rest of our province as well,” Wall said in a press release.

“I am very pleased to announce that services are now in place, or in develop-ment, for every one of the people on the list.

“It is our government’s goal to make Saskatchewan the best place to live in Canada for people with disabilities, and this is another step toward that goal.”

Of course, not everyone has been com-pletely enamoured with the government’s boasts.

The NDP said the government’s hubris in announcing that it had met the needs of everyone with intellectual disabilities in the province resulted in several calls to the Opposition caucus office of people that don’t feel their children’s needs have been met.

One such call came from Herbert resi-dent Craig Bayliss. Bayliss said he trav-eled to the Premier’s Swift Current con-stituency office four times because he and his wife were desperate for help for their intellectually disabled 24-year-old son in need of constant care.

There are additional complexities in such a case, but perhaps the lesson for government is to never assume that the work is ever done.

That said, Wall _ whose own 23-year-old nephew, Darren, is intellectually dis-abled and benefiting from similar pro-gramming in Alberta _ should be given credit for addressing the overall issue with determination and compassion.

There are many needs in Saskatchewan, but few are as worthwhile as providing help and hope to those who are the least fortunate.

Helping disabled a big accomplishment

YOUR TWO CENTS~Dear Editor,The sign in front of a middle school informed parents,

“No classes this week due to state assessments. We re-sume your child’s real education in two weeks.” In 2016, this sign could appear in Saskatchewan as the govern-ment intends to test every student every year from Grade 4 to 12. The new initiative has been given a starting bud-get of $5.9 million.

The primary purpose of testing all students is to rank them and rank the schools they attend; as educator Alfie Kohn says, it tells us who is beating whom. The cost of standardized testing can be saved by measuring socio-economic status. There is a correlation between income and scores; students in schools in wealthy communities consistently outscore students in schools in poor commu-nities.

Now that we have saved the $5.9 million, let’s use it to fund radical evidence based research. Find “twin” schools around the province and randomly assign one of the twins as a control school. In the experimental school, put a second teacher in every class. Design surveys, col-lect evidence, and analyze the data around our driving question, “Will two teachers per class improve learning?”

We already know standardized testing does not im-prove learning. Even if our experiment’s answer is “No, two teachers per class do not improve learning,” at least our money will teach us something we did not already know. For the love of learning, please sign the petition at tinyurl.com/chcrdxe and contact your MLA www.le-gassembly.sk.ca/mlas/.

Nancy CarswellSenior Researcher into Happiness“Incendium gloriae fax mentis”Dear Editor,In 2013, we mark the Year of the Korean War Veteran

and the 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice. As a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP)

Program, I am part of its Operation Legacy, a group of committed young people who are dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage.

Throughout the year, tribute will be paid to the more than 26,000 Canadians who served in the Korean War, including the 516 who gave their lives. To learn more

about this anniversary and Canada’s role in the Korean War, we encourage the public to view The War Amps vi-gnette, Canadians in Korea, on The War Amps YouTube channel (youtube.com/warampsofcanada).

Projects like this are part of Operation Legacy’s goal to carry the remembrance message into the future. With the slogan, “It was their war, it is our legacy,” we pledge to never forget the sacrifices of those who fought for the freedom of South Korea.

Report from the LegislatureThe worth of a society can

be measured by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. In keeping with our govern-ment’s belief in that state-ment, we continue to hon-our commitments made in both the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth and this year’s provincial budget. On May 6, 2013, we announced the fi rst step toward imple-menting a comprehensive Disability Strategy.

The Disability Strategy will focus on the priority ar-eas specifi ed in the Plan for Growth: accessibility, af-fordability and availability of housing; transportation; employment; education; support for community in-clusion; and support for caregivers. Other priorities may emerge during the con-sultation process.

Members of the public are invited to submit their nominations for the Citi-zen Consultation Team by downloading the applica-

tion form from the Ministry of Social Services website at http://www.socialservices.gov.sk.ca/disability-strate-gy. Nominations will be ac-cepted until June 28, 2013, and the team members will be appointed in the fall of this year. The public con-sultations will be held next spring, to be followed by the public release of the Dis-

ability Strategy in late fall of 2014.

This initiative builds on our existing record in terms of making Saskatchewan the best place to live in Can-ada for people with disabili-ties, including:

• Theelimination of the 440 person wait list for pro-gramming for people with intellectual disabilities; and

• The Saskatchewan As-sured Income for Disability (SAID) program, allowing more than 10,000 people with physical and intellec-tual disabilities to live with a greater measure of dignity and independence.

A new federal/provin-cial program will allow for the next generation of agricultural producers to learn from current industry leaders. Over the next fi ve years, $500,000 in fund-ing will be provided to the Youth MentorshipProgram with the goal of assisting in-dustry associations tomen-

tor young producers into fu-ture industry leaders. This program will help young producers gain leadership skills and the networking opportunities needed to become future leaders. No provincial program aimed at developing leadership ca-pacity for all sectors of the agriculture industry existed until now.

On May 3, 2013 the federal

and provincial governments announced the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program (FRWIP) will con-tinue for the next fi ve years with $65 million in support. FRWIP, which was fi rst in-troduced in 2008, helps farmers, ranchers, First Nation bands, rural munici-palities and irrigation dis-tricts develop long-term, re-liable sources of water and the related infrastructure necessary to support their agriculture businesses. Eli-gible projects include wells, dugouts, pipelines, commu-nity wells and irrigation in-fi ll. The program has now been enhanced to include a new component for Agri-cultural Business Develop-ment for intensive livestock and horticultural opera-tions. As well, value-added agricultural businesses and non-district irrigators are now eligible for funding. Establishing secure water sources is crucial to the

long-term success of farm-ers and ranchers and is es-sential to the future growth of Saskatchewan’s agricul-ture industry and economy.For more information go to www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/GF2-FRWIP.

Families and dependants of members Canadian Armed Forces relocated to our province will now re-ceive immediate basic Sas-katchewan health coverage. In the past, there was a 90 day waiting period for cov-erage, amendments to the Medical Care Insurance and Administration Regulations have been waved to make this change.

This change is in line with other provinces and ter-ritories and will mean less interprovincial billing for health care services. Our government will continue to support the brave woman and men, and their families, who give so much for our country.

Recovering producer’s cost-of-productionI recently read an opinion piece sug-

gesting Canada’s supply-managed systems should go.

The main selling point of that idea is not a new one.

There is a belief among some that Canada could sacrifi ce its supply-managed sectors, poultry and dairy primarily, and by so do-ing the doors of trade access would swing open to international markets for a broader range of Canadian farm production.

In the process the Canadian poultry and dairy sectors might well take a major maul-ing, but those suggesting the change point out 90 per cent of Canadian farmers rely on export sales for their production, so the sacrifi ce of a few is justifi ed for the good of the more.

That thinking has always been one which escapes me, perhaps because I grew up in Saskatchewan once the bastion of socialism in this country, maybe because I’ve realized

that even the few need to have their needs addressed among the many.

The dairy and poultry sys-tems, and their quota-based production limits are an in-teresting sector of farming, a sector which is almost an anomaly in agriculture. That anomaly is that for the most part you rarely hear farmers in those sectors complaining about things.

While they might well be-lieve they should have a bit more quota, or wish their mar-gins were better, they have what many producers have wished for in the past, a system which is based at least in principle on recovering a producer’s cost-of-production.

We haven’t heard that lament the last few

years from grain and oilseed pro-ducers because prices have taken care of things.

But it wasn’t that long ago farm-ers gathered in town halls all over the Prairies talking about the government coming up with some relief system more closely tied to a cost-of-production.

If anyone thinks the days of general farm losses won’t come again they might want to talk to sheep producers who have seen their good prices of the last cou-ple of years evaporate this spring.

The other thing supply man-agement does is create a system

where consumers actually pay a price for what they eat more closely tied to produc-tion costs on a Canadian farm.

There are those who argue milk and eggs and chicken would be cheaper if supply

management was dismantled.If that means chicken and milk from

Mexico I’m not impressed with the idea. If we pay a little more to assure we have milk produced under Canadian regulations and in our country, it’s a good thing.

And in general the idea of consumers pay-ing more is not a bad thing. The food in a grocery bag is still reasonably-priced. Take out all the non-food items we now buy at a grocery store, from laundry detergent to shoe polish, and the ‘grocery bill’ price looks far better.

Is supply-management ideal?Of course not, but the dairy and poultry

sectors have fared better in recent years than the hog sector which has been bat-tered to the point the sector’s future was/is in question.

So talk of dismantling the sectors on a hope of market access and limited consumer price relief just doesn’t make sense to me.

Area farmers improve lives with the help of $2500 grantThe Blaine Lake Community Association

is $2500 richer after area farmers Alan and Pam Lavoie of Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan nominated them for a community grant available through the Canada’s Farmers Grow Communities (www.canadasfarmers.ca) program supported by the Monsanto Fund.

Their winning entry was drawn last No-vember from more than 160 applications received from farmers across Canada.

Winning entries covered a wide range of focus areas from agricultural societies, playgrounds, daycares and school projects to community sporting organizations, li-braries and health/service groups.

In total, the Monsanto Fund shared $145,000 with charitable and not-for-profi t groups that focus on improving the lives of rural residents.

“We are so thrilled to win this grant from the Monsanto Fund and thankful we were nominated,” said Kara Fiala of Blaine Lake Community Association.

“The funding is very important to a small group like ours and it is making a differ-ence to our program and our community.”

Blaine Lake Community Association is directing the much-needed funding to pur-chase and install a new deep fryer in the community rink kitchen.

Applications are now being accepted for

the 2013 Canada’s Farmers Grow Commu-nities program.

All it takes to enter is a visit to www.Can-adasFarmers.ca where farmers who meet the eligibility requirements may submit one application per charity.

Community residents can also make suggestions of worthy charities and not-for-profi ts for farmers to consider in their nominations.

Applications must be submitted by September 30, 2013 and all win-ners will be selected by random draw and notifi ed by November 15,2013.

Two (2) $2,500 grants will be awarded in

each of 30 different territories across the grain growing regions of northeastern BC (Peace River district), Alberta, Saskatch-ewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

“The Monsanto Fund grants provided through the Canada’s Farmers Grow Com-munities program allow farmers to get actively involved in supporting their com-munities,” said Trish Jordan, public and industry affairs director with Monsanto Canada.

“Growing communities and improving lives is the focus of the Monsanto Fund. It is rewarding to see so many worthwhile, lo-cal groups benefi tting based on the recom-mendation of farmers.”

Th e new facility will open for normal services on Monday, June 3rd.

June 30, 2013 is the last chance for Sas-katchewan homeowners to enter the Sas-katchewan EnerGuide for Houses grant program.

The incredibly popular Saskatchewan EnerGuide for Houses grant program is scheduled to wrap up in 2013.

Over the last 10 years, the Saskatchewan provincial government has established itself as a national leader when it comes to energy effi ciency in housing. By sub-sidizing the cost of home energy evalua-tions and providing grant incentives for improvements, the province has assisted thousands of homeowners with energy-ef-fi cient renovations. This has reduced op-erational costs for homeowners, increased property values, stimulated local industry, and reduced greenhouses gas emissions all across Saskatchewan.

Sun Ridge Residential, the province’s largest EnerGuide service organization, estimates that their energy advisors have evaluated and rated well over 60,000 homes in approximately 215 different com-

munities. As Darcy Bzdel, Director of Sun Ridge

Technical Services, observes, “Because of EnerGuide ratings and labels, there are over 60,000 Saskatchewan homeowners with real knowledge about the best ways to improve their homes. The upgrades make sense since they pay for themselves, and the certifi ed rating label increases the value of the home when it comes time to sell”.

Homeowners can still take advantage of the Saskatchewan EnerGuide for Houses retrofi t grant program, but the clock is ticking. To be eligible, homeowners must have a pre-retrofi t evaluation completed by June 30, 2013. All upgrades and the post-retrofi t evaluation must be completed by October 31, 2013.

Less than 2 months left for popular Saskatchewan retrofit grant program

Plain and simple, people shouldn’t speed through construction zones.

As Saskatchewan resi-dents saw last year, such risky behavior can come with a tragic consequence – the loss of life.

To address road safety in construction zones the government has hiked speeding fi nes and plans to hire a private photo radar company to take photos of drivers who speed through the zones. The photo radar company will then send the owner of each speeding vehicle a ticket in the mail a couple weeks later.

But is that really the best option for improving safety?

If one of your friends or loved ones was working in a construction zone, and a driver was approaching at a rapid pace, wouldn’t you want that driver pulled over? But private photo ra-dar companies don’t pull dangerous drivers over; again, they just snap pho-tos.

Not to mention, when a speeder is pulled over by a real police offi cer, other drivers can see the fl ashing lights for miles away and then slow down as well. Photo radar programs don’t have that deterrent.

When police or provin-cial transport offi cers pull drivers over, they can also determine if the driver is

drunk, on drugs or driv-ing a stolen vehicle. Photo radar companies can’t pick up on those hazards either.

Another advantage of us-ing real police is the speed-ing driver actually gets the ticket. Conversely, photo radar programs send the ticket by mail to the owner of the vehicle; who may not have been the driver when the infraction occurred.

The other obvious con-cern with photo radar is that weeks could go by between the time the per-son speeds through the construction zone and the time the ticket arrives in the mail. All the while the offender could go on speeding without feeling the sting of a hefty ticket.

So with all those short-comings of photo radar programs in mind, why would the government choose photo radar instead of using real police?

Consider why photo ra-dar was canceled in other jurisdictions. British Co-lumbia and Ontario both previously had photo radar programs, but both prov-inces eventually canceled the programs after citizens grew upset with how the systems turned out to be a cash grab more than any-thing.

The city of Winnipeg currently has a photo ra-dar program and it too is all about the money. In

fact, a report to council in 2012 conceded that using real police could improve enforcement, but cau-tioned it would reduce the city’s “net revenues” from speeding tickets.

Yes, real police can do a better job of enforcing speed limits, and they can collect enough revenue from tickets each day to cover their salaries, so it’s not a question of police being too expensive. The problem for politicians is that real police don’t pro-duce the extra windfall of cash like photo radar pro-grams provide.

Consider what photo ra-dar watchdog group Wise Up Winnipeg had to say about the program: “with-out a doubt the photo radar program is a cash grab. Money from photo radar tickets never seems to make its way back into education programs about speeding or better sig-nage.”

One thing is for certain, if the province is looking to balance the budget, they should cut spending, and not try to raise more cash through photo radar. And if it’s safety they’re after, they should use real police offi cers rather than a pho-to radar company.

A recent report from FarmLink Mar-keting Solutions is predicting a higher-than-anticipated number of unseeded — or summer fallow — acres, largely due to the delayed start to the season.

The organization released adjusted acreage estimates earlier this month that predict there will be 5,600,000 summer fallow acres across the Prai-ries, up 1,100,000 acres from its previ-ous estimates reported in February.

FarmLink Marketing Solutions ana-lyst Jon Driedger points to concern over a repeat of 2011 as part of the reason for the adjustment.

“There has been a downward trend in intended summer fallow, which can turn out to be different from actual summer fallow,” he says. “For example, 2011 saw a fairly high summer fallow number, but that wasn’t necessarily by choice; farm-ers had wanted to plant much of that ground, but the weather prevented them from doing so.”

This past winter saw an unprecedent-ed amount of snow accumulation across the Prairies, particularly in parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

That, combined with an unseasonably cold April with more snow accumula-tion, has delayed seeding in many re-gions.

While Statistics Canada painted a more positive picture of seeded acres in the Prairies, Driedger points out the Statistics Canada survey was conducted in March.

“Given the late start to the season, we feel pretty strongly that at least some of the intended acres won’t get seeded. If we had experienced a ‘normal’ spring, then we likely wouldn’t have revised our number very much from February,” he says.

For growers who have unseeded acres this year, it is important that crop resi-due and weed pressure be managed. Research has shown a benefit to choos-

ing chemfallow over tillage to manage weeds while retaining soil moisture and nutrients for the subsequent year.

Historically, glyphosate has been used in chemfallow rotations to manage soil residue. But recent herbicide innova-tions such as Distinct by BASF provide multiple modes of action for resistance management.

Distinct controls glyphosate-resis-tant kochia and has been shown to de-liver faster, more effective burndown of tough weeds than using glyphosate alone.

In 2011, BASF conducted a grower-applied Yield Challenge for Distinct to compare effectiveness on chemfallow acres against its competitors.

The nine growers who took part re-ported better control on average in fa-vour of Distinct over its competitors.

Hardy Entz from Delia, Alta., was one of the participating growers who sub-mitted photos and journal entries from

his chemfallow Yield Challenge. Entz reported a visible difference.

“I walked through the field 16 days after spraying and I can see an obvi-ous difference on the Distinct treated side compared to the other areas of the field,” he wrote.

“Weeds are on their way to being con-trolled, while on the other side many of the weeds are still very green.”

Additional feedback and photos from these and other trials can be found at www.yieldchallenge.ca.

For a spring being compared to 2011, that Yield Challenge data will be a good reference for growers with unseeded acres, whether those acres are intended or not.

Full summerfallow acre estimates from FarmLinks Marketing Solutions is available at www.farmlinksolutions.ca/2013-planting-estimates.

Variety Show raises funds for Ghana tripThe Helm Family Singers perform a number during the Variety Show. Jody Smart (left) and Myron Wall perform a

skit with the Host Players.

A Variety Show fundraiser was held on Saturday, May 11 at the Shellbrook Theatre. Proceeds from the event went to support a group of local students who will be travelling to Ghana in the near future through the Free the Children and We Day initiatives. Karen Mason, who will be accompanying the students on their journey, gave some insight into the goals of the trip. “We’ll be travelling to Ghana at the end of Au-gust and we’ll be working in a community providing, basically, free labour. We’ll be working to either fi n-ish building a school or to build a water treatment plant. The goals for the children are that we will create a situation where children can be educated.” Each of these tasks would lead to an increased ability to educate the local children. Obviously the school building itself would serve this purpose, but the wa-ter treatment plant would contribute just as much. “If we provide water in the community,” Mason said, “then the children don’t have to carry the water,

which frees them up to be able to get their educa-tion.” The students, who have been fundraising for this trip since they were in grade 5, include Hannah Miller, Sara Shakul, Madison Bourgeault, Taryn Moe, Zack and Josh Boettcher, Lisa Forbes, and Susie and Josie Hamilton.

An impressive crowd came out to support the stu-dents and enjoy a night of entertainment. The eve-ning included performances by a number of groups, including the Shellbrook Elementary Grade 4/5 Choir, the Poltava Region Ukrainian Dancers, the Helm Family Singers, the Rhythm Works Dancers, the Host Players, a group of violinists and the band Audity. The crowd was also treated to a number of solo performances and duets throughout the evening.

A group made up of Joel Provencher, Nathan Da-vidson and Stephanie Lloyd also performed. Lloyd, who travelled to town from Debden for the show, re-cently won the 2013 Global Country Star Search com-

petition which was held in Edmonton and included performers from all over the country. It was an easy decision for Lloyd to make the short trip down to Shellbrook once she heard what the fundraiser was all about. “I think this fundraiser is for a good cause,” Lloyd said. “I’ve been on a few mission trips myself, and so I really like the idea.”

According to their website, Free the Children was founded in 1995 by a 12-year-old named Craig Kiel-burger. After reading a story in the Toronto Star about a young boy in South Asia who spent his short life tied to a carpet-weaving loom, Kielburger gath-ered 11 of his school friends in an effort to begin fi ght-ing child labour. Today there are more than 1.7 mil-lion youth involved in Free the Children’s education and development programs, spanning 45 countries. We Day is an initiative of Free the Children which works with schools in order to inspire youth into ac-tion.

Protect your brain: wear a helmet

Establishing a new lawn: seed versus sod

12 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com May 17, 2013

To reduce the risk of cycling-related head and brain inju-ries a properly fi tted helmet should always be worn when riding a bicycle or other wheels.

One out of every three children who are hospitalized with cycling-related injuries suffers a head injury. A head injury refers to any injury to the scalp, skull, or brain.

The brain is a very fragile organ that is only protected by the skull. The skull provides little protection however when it comes in contact with a hard surface such as the road, compacted dirt, rocks, or a curb. A child’s skull can fracture from an impact at 7 km/hr.

A bicycle helmet works by absorbing the impact of a crash, distributing the impact over a large area, and minimizing

violent movement of the brain within the skull. Bicycle hel-mets have been shown to reduce the risk of head and brain injury by as much as 85 percent.

A head and brain injury can result in memory loss, loss of motor control, headaches, anxiety or depression, changes in taste, smell, vision, hearing, and touch, seizures, and death. Four out of every fi ve cycling-related deaths in Saskatche-wan are associated with head injuries.

Saskatchewan youth, aged 12 to 19 years, have the lowest rate of helmet use when cycling out of all age groups. Only 17% of youth wear a bicycle helmet every time they ride a bicycle.

Bicycle Safety Week 2013, ‘Be a Hero – Wear Your Helmet’,

aims to increase awareness of the vulnerability of the head and brain to injury and increase the use of helmets when riding a bicycle or other wheels.

‘Be a Hero – Wear Your Helmet’:· Wear a helmet on every wheeled ride.· A helmet is useless if you do not use it.· Be a positive role model and wear your helmet.· Do not let a child cycle without a helmet.For more information on Bicycle Safety Week, or if you

would like to contact schools, community groups, or agen-cies in your community who are participating in Bicycle Safety Week, please contact the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute:

By Sara WilliamsThere are two main techniques to start a

lawn: sowing seed or laying sod. The com-monality is site and soil preparation –con-trol weeds prior to and after establishment, create a gentle slope away from buildings (approx. 1 foot drop over 30 feet), and ensure a minimum 6 in. depth of topsoil containing at least 5% organic matter. After that, there are advantages and disadvantages to each method.

On the one hand, seeding offers more choices in grass species and varieties. How-ever, although cheaper than sodding, estab-lishing a lawn from seed takes considerably longer and involves labour over an extended period.

If seeding, use high-quality Canada No. 1 grass seed. This quality designation guaran-tees purity (85% or greater), negligible weed content (less than 0.5%), and a relatively high germination rate (70%).

The best time to seed a lawn is mid- to late summer to avoid the spring fl ush of annual weeds. You should allow at least 6 to 8 weeks before winter. Because natural rainfall is at its lowest at this time, irrigation is usually necessary during the establishment period.

Use higher seeding rates if you are un-able to water; if trying to establish on slopes, banks or areas prone to erosion; or for quicker, denser establishment. Besides, lawn seed is relatively cheap.

To spread, use a cyclone-type bag spreader

or a push-type centrifugal or drop spreader. For uniform distribution, start by divid-ing your seed into two equal amounts. Set your spreader at the lowest possible setting and distribute half in a north-south direc-tion and the rest in an east-west direction. Use a roller to make sure the seed is in fi rm contact with the soil. Expect 10 to 14 days before you see any signs of growth.

Grass seedlings are very sensitive to heat and drought. Do not allow to dry out, espe-cially during hot, dry, windy weather. Wa-tering seedlings differs from watering an established lawn. It should be frequent and light, with little pressure and fi ne droplets. As the root system penetrates deeper, so should the amount and frequency of irriga-tion until you have a fully established lawn. An established lawn requires about 1 inch of water per week, taking into account rainfall.

Mowing stimulates tillering and rhizome production, increasing the density of the lawn.

Mow a newly seeded lawn to 3 inches when the grass reaches 4.5 inches. Leaving the grass slightly longer provides a greater leaf surface area for photosynthesis and en-hances rooting. Do not remove more than one-third of the leaf blade at each mowing. Ensure that your lawn mower blades are sharp. Wait to use a newly seeded lawn until after its second or third mowing.

Conversely, sod produces an almost in-stant lawn. It immediately reduces erosion and runoff and involves much less care and maintenance during establishment than seeding. But it is more expensive and

your choice of grass is often more limited. If slopes and other diffi cult sites are to be grassed, sod is preferred.

You can lay sod through most of the grow-ing season provided rooting occurs prior to freeze-up. More water will be needed in midsummer. If possible, select a sod grown in the same soil texture as in your own yard to ensure better water percolation and faster root penetration of the sod into the soil.

Good-quality sod is grown from seed un-der irrigation. It should be dense, uniform in size and thickness, weed free and hold together when handled. Sod should be har-vested, delivered and laid within the same or next day. If left in piles, it is vulnerable to heating and drying. Upon delivery, place it in shade, cover with a tarp and lay it as quickly as possible. Purchase an extra 10% to allow for waste.

Do not lay sod on dry, crusted soil. Rake and moisten the soil just prior to sodding. Begin at a building or sidewalk, laying the sod in brickwork fashion. Lay it perpen-dicular to slopes, starting at the bottom and working upward. Roll after laying to put the sod in fi rm contact with the soil. Water thor-oughly, through the sod and six inches into the topsoil below. Sod has a limited root sys-tem and is vulnerable to drying out.

Golf indsutry promoting a shorter gameThe golf industry is facing a 250-yard

par-3.Yeah, that’s hard. Golf is struggling

because the number of people playing the game has been on the decline for the past few years and that means — what else? — a decline in revenue.

Golf courses sell fewer green fees and memberships; sales of golf balls and clubs go down. Golf resorts attract fewer tourists.

Myriad reasons abound for golf fall-ing on hard times but one refrain heard often is that the game takes too long and young people aren’t taking up the game because . . . well, they just don’t have the time in this go-go world we live in.

But rather than just throw up their hands and saying “there’s no way I can get to this 250-yard par-3 in one shot,” the golf industry is coming up with what it hopes are solutions.

One is encouraging a return to the nine-hole round. And why not? A base-ball game takes a little over two hours; a curling game is two hours or so; a night out at a hockey game is maybe three, by the time you take travel time into account. A supper at a nice restau-rant with that special someone takes around two hours.

But golf is four hours, or more, and that is the obstacle the golf industry is facing as it tries to entice newcomers to the game. And to that end, Golf Digest magazine is leading the charge on the

nine-hole round.“We’re not trying to get ev-

eryone who plays 18 holes to play nine holes instead,” Jerry Tarde, Golf Digest’s chairman and editor in chief, said.

“We’re after the people who aren’t playing because they think golf is a half-day propo-sition, which it isn’t.”

As courses get longer and new equipment is helping golfers hit the ball farther, the sport might seem to be a marathon to non-golfers who might consider taking up the game. That’s why the nine-hole initiative, and the “play-it-forward” approach (where golfers are encouraged to play from forward tees to make the game easier and, ergo, more enjoyable) are giv-ing hope to those in the golf industry that the game will not only survive, but thrive in the future.

As for that 250-yard par-3? Bang a driver, make a four, and consider it a par. It’s only a game.

• Golf Hall of Fame inductee Colin Montgomerie on why everyone likes fellow Hall of Famer Fred Couples: “All the women want to be with him, and all the men want to be like him.”

• Blogger Steve Burgess, on the Ca-nucks’ early departure from the NHL playoffs: “Let's look on the bright side. When the Canucks suffer a catastroph-ic structural collapse, no one dies.”

• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on Twitter: “Mar-lins closing upper deck for some games. What a major inconvenience for the six people who've been sitting up there!”

• T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times, on the ter-rible start by the powerful (on paper) Anaheim Angels: “You just never know with (team owner) Angry Arte (Moreno), a better chance that (manager Mike) Sci-

oscia is going, going, gone these days than anything Albert Pujols might hit.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Mets and Rockies played in 28-de-gree weather in Denver on Thursday. How cold was it? All the players wore No. 99 in honour of Wayne Gretzky.”

• Steve Simmons of Sun Media: “It seems all but certain that Mike Gillis, who should be fi red, will fi re (Canucks) coach Alain Vigneault, who shouldn’t be fi red.”

• Late night funnyman Jay Leno: “In baseball news, the Chicago Cubs said they will move if improvements are not made to Wrigley Field. And Wrigley Field said it will move if improvements are not made to the Chicago Cubs.”

• Oh, how they love hockey in Mi-ami. This is from a recent Greg Cote column in the Miami Herald: “In a lot-tery this week, the Panthers won the

second overall pick in the upcoming NHL draft. They are expected to select someone you’ve never heard of from a Canadian junior team with a funny name.”

• R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Texas A&M reportedly plans to in-crease seating in their football stadium to 102,500. Not to be outdone, the Sas-katchewan Huskies will add a folding chair to their luxury box.”

• Currie again: “First John Morris claims he's lost the passion to curl, then a week later joins a B.C. team. In TV lingo, he jumped from My Favou-rite Martin to Welcome Back Cotter.”

• Headline at TheOnion.com: "Derek Jeter transferred to 60,000-day DL."

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Patriots QB Tom Brady is $25,000 richer after Orb — sitting in 17th place at the three-quarters pole — roared back to win the Kentucky Derby. So that makes it three Super Bowl rings, a supermodel wife, a $57 million con-tract — and now a serendipitous Derby windfall. Just when is this poor guy go-ing to catch a break?”

• Robert Cox of the Arkansas Dem-ocrat-Gazette, after security guards in Oklahoma City nabbed a man trying to steal a Zamboni: “As with most Zam-boni-related crimes, police said alcohol was a factor.”

Swimming pool regis-tration was held on May 9 at the Shellbrook Com-munity Hall. The event saw a great turnout as community members seem eager to be able to get out and enjoy the pool. Jenny Hosie, Shell-brook’s Recreation Direc-tor, was pleased with the interest shown at regis-tration night. Kids of all ages came out to register for swimming lessons and buy passes for the pool. While she was pleased with the numbers, Hosie hopes to eventually see members of a slightly older crowd utilize the programs available at the pool. “We would like to see more teenagers get-ting involved. Obviously most of them can already swim, but if they were interested in becoming a lifeguard or taking the higher level of swimming lesson, like the Bronze Cross, which would pre-pare them for becoming a lifeguard, we would rec-ommend that.”

A new initiative that

has a lot of people excited is the Jr. Lifeguard Pro-gram. “The Jr. Lifeguard Program is totally new this year,” Hosie said. “(It provides a chance) to shadow our guards so they can learn what the job is and then hopefully it will inspire them to want and be a guard.”

Kayla Tomporowski , Head Lifeguard at the pool, elaborated on the new program. “(It’s) something that we’ve been interested in for a while now, and I decided it was fi nally time to im-plement it. Basically it gives kids who are from 8-15 years old in the town a chance to come and see what it’s like to lifeguard. They can come and life-guard with us, teach les-sons with us, they can learn how to use the spine board, they can do com-munity presentations and different things. So I think it’s a really great program and I’m excited to have it run this year.”

Despite the cold spring, things seem to be on

track for the pool to open as scheduled. They hope to have things up and running by June 3. If you missed registration and would still like to sign up, you can come by the Town Offi ce and fi ll out a form anytime before June 3. After June 3, you will be able to sign up di-rectly at the pool.

Kayla, Raquel, and Tora Olsen lend a hand as Lindsey signs everyone up for swimming lessons. The registration took place on May 9 at the Shellbrook Community Hall.

Ross Evans Sharon KabaroffKABAROFF – Sharon Margarite. It is with great

sadness that we had to say good-bye to our wife, mom, grandma, sister and friend, Sharon Kabaroff (Boe) on May 13, 2013 at the Spiritwood Nursing Home.

Sharon left us for a bet-ter life, with no pain or suffering. She was born on February 9, 1943 in Sherridon, MB. She came from a family of four brothers and one sister. She enjoyed living in Lynn Lake where on August 8, 1972 she married Walter Kabaroff. Together they blended their family of three.

She will be sadly missed by her husband, Walter Kabaroff; children, Ran-dy Kunitz, Sandy (Dar-ryl Campbell) and Kevin

Kabaroff (Kim Hay); grandchildren, Travis and Jor-dan Campbell; brothers, Don Boe, Doug Boe, Les (Lorna) Boe, Chris Boe; sister, Betty (Bryan Reid).

Sharon was predeceased by her parents, Arne and Jeannette Boe.

All who knew Sharon will remember her for her good humour and wit. In the summertime, she could always be found in her vegetable and f lower garden, which was her greatest passion next to fam-ily. She always enjoyed her Norwegian tradition of Lutefisk at Christmas and treated her children with her potato dumplings. Thank you to all of her care-givers at various medical facilities and to family and friends for cards, f lowers, and visits which she so enjoyed. A Celebration of Sharon’s life will be held on Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 11:00 AM at the Legion Hall in Leask, SK.

In lieu of f lowers, donations may be made to the Riverhill Restoration Society or Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of the donor’s choice. On-line condolences to the family may be sent at www.hawrylukfuneralhome.com.

It’s that time of year when families plan fun-fi lled out-door adventures like going to the cottage, camping, hik-ing, picnicking, canoeing, or horseback riding through the woods. These activi-ties are great for families to bond and create long-lasting memories. Unfortunately, these special moments can

be spoiled when pesky mos-quitoes and deer ticks in-vade your fun-fi lled outdoor activities.

Fortunately, it’s never been easier to enjoy an out-door family adventure and still have dependable pro-tection from mosquitoes and deer ticks. Avon, the creators of the iconic Skin So Soft product line, launched a new bug repellent in Canada last year – Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Icaridin Insect Repellent Spray II.

Now Avon has expanded its Skin So Soft Bug Guard product line and formulat-ed a product that provides strong and dependable re-pellency against mosquitoes for up to fi ve hours and deer ticks for up to seven hours. Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Icaridin Insect Repellent Spray II uses as its repelling agent, Icaridin, which is an effective alter-native ingredient to DEET. Some consumers don’t like

DEET repellents because they have a greasy feel and an odour. The new Avon In-sect repellent has a pleasant scent, is non-greasy, has a light, clean feel when ap-plied and also contains in-gredients like vitamin E and aloe.

Icaridin has been used worldwide since 1998, and is one of the best selling ac-tive ingredients contained in insect repellent products in Europe. The Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Icaridin Insect Repellent Spray II offers protection when you want to enjoy outdoor ac-tivities like walks, evening barbeques and campfi res without the nuisance and concern of mosquitoes and deer ticks. It is available through Avon Independent Sales Representatives. More information can be found at www.avon.ca.

Carter Moe of Shell-brook may still be a uni-versity student, but he has already contributed to the development of a new product that may one day be used by the public.

Carter has just fin-ished his second year at the University of Sas-katchewan where he studies mechanical en-gineering. In one of his classes last semester, Carter and his class-mates were posed with an interesting task. The project involved creat-ing a device that would provide wheelchair us-ers with the ability to retrieve and access a backpack from the back of his or her chair. It was

a difficult thing to ask of second year university students, but Carter and his team were up for the challenge.

The need for this product was brought to the class’s atten-tion by members of the Tetra Society of North America, which, accord-ing to their website, is a non-profit organiza-tion that was founded in 1987 in Vancouver, BC. The Tetra Society works with skilled vol-unteers in order to cre-ate customized devices that assist people with physical disabilities in their day to day lives. Carter’s class listened to a story about a young man named Eric who was born with cere-bral palsy and therefor needed to have his spine fused. As a result of this, Eric could not turn to retrieve objects from his backpack which hung from the back of his wheelchair, and the need for this device was born. The organiza-tion’s plan was to take a few of the projects back to Vancouver with them at the conclusion of the semester and see how far they could go with the designs.

There was a lot of ex-

perimentation done by Carter’s team through-out this semester-long activity. “Our initial drawing and design didn’t look anything like what the final prod-uct was,” Carter said. “There was a lot of trial and error. A lot of the time we’d come up with a design and get a rough prototype going, then it wouldn’t pan out so we’d have to go back to the drawing board and do some more re-search.”

At the end of the day, the design that Cart-er’s team came up with was selected as one that would be taken to Vancouver in order to find out whether or not it could be produced. Their design was select-ed because it was rela-tively cheap to produce, lightweight, and remov-able. Also, it didn’t change the footprint of the chair, which means that attaching it to the wheelchair didn’t hin-der the chair’s mobil-ity. Most importantly, as Carter stated, the product was successful because it worked.

Carter admitted that there are many im-provements that could be made to the design.

“In our fabrication lab that we had at the school, we were pretty limited in our supplies. We had to work with a lot of aluminum and spruce where we would have rather had nylon runners. We had a slid-ing rail design, and we suggested that if it goes into production to use nylon-type material, something like in a desk drawer. We had to use spruce runners which weren’t ideal but got the job done.”

Carter is uncertain as to what the future holds for his team’s product. He thinks that per-haps their design, once modified, may be able to be produced. If not, it may be used some-day as a stepping stone for someone else to im-prove upon and make into a reality. Either way Carter is proud of his team’s achieve-ments, and looks for-ward to numerous fu-ture accomplishments in the field of mechani-cal engineering.

20 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com May 17, 2013

On Monday May 6th the Volunteer Firefi ghter’s hosted a noon lunch with burger, potato salad, chips and a drink for $6.00. The Canwood Pre K class took advantage of Mr. Thompson’s and Mrs. Thall’s knowledge of the fi retrucks to get a tour of the equipment and of course the loud siren sounds. Thanks for your time and patience.

Parkside Centennial celebrations continue

Canwood Pre K enjoy outing

To celebrate Mother’s Day and to thank the ladies of Parkside and district a special Straw-berry Shortcake Tea was held in the Parkside Heritage Center on May 11.

Hats and utensils from the past supplied by various donors were on display for everyone to enjoy.

The group was entertained as Jackie Bragg sang a couple of beautiful songs, Abbey Radics played her violin and Glennis Martin read a story about how people become important in our lives.

The ladies at each table were asked to work together to make a list of as many past Parkside pioneer ladies as they could re-member. Gwen Nolan asked the groups to share their lists and thus honor the people who made Parkside a great community to

grow up in. Gwen presided over the entire afternoon handing out door prizes, sharing stories and making sure that everyone had a great time!

Students from the Shellbrook Elementary school participated in a coloring contest featuring pictures of Parkside buildings of the past. Students aged 4 – 11 years old were encouraged to color their favourite pictures and enter them into the contest.

The results were great! Two Parkside grandmothers

had a hard time judging the many entries but managed to choose winners in each catego-ry.

The prizes donated by Mo-nique Moe of Prairie North Surplus were handed out to the winners on April 30 at the El-ementary school special assem-bly. Congratulations to the win-ners in each category:

Girls Ages 4 – 7: 1st: Abbey Kyliuk 2nd: Payton Keyowski and 3rd Anik Moe

Girls Ages 8 – 11: 1st: Erika Stene 2nd: Alexis Banda 3rd: McKenna Kyluik
