Almost exactly a year after his fi rst visit to the community, Dr. Imran Ibrahim has arrived in Shellbrook to assume a role as part of the Primary care team as a resident physician.
Dr. Ibrahim and his family visited Shellbrook last November to see if the community would be a fi t. The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region and the Parkland Doctor Recruitment and Reten-tion Committee have been working with him ever since.
“We are excited that Dr. Ibrahim has arrived in Shellbrook,” said Lynnda Berg, Vice-President Primary Care.
“We want to thank Parkland Physician Recruitment Committee for their hard work and commitment to recruiting physicians to the community. We also know how important it is for the people of Shellbrook and area that we are able to stabilize physician services and build towards the re-opening of acute care services.”
Up to this point in time, the community has been receiving ser-vices from resident physician Dr. Anatole Nguegno, as well as phy-sicians who travel from other communities to provide clinic ser-
vices. The arrival of Dr. Ibrahim will enhance primary health care capacity in Shellbrook.
“We are very pleased to have Dr. Ibrahim and his family in Shell-brook,” said Amund Otterson, chair of the recruitment and reten-tion committee.
“The work of the Parkland Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee and the Health Region team is really paying off. We are on the road to re-establishing full medical services in Shellbrook. This event along with the anticipated arrival of more physicians in the near future is a great step for the community and the Health Region.”
Dr. Ibrahim is the fi rst of fi ve international medical graduates who have accepted employment offers to work in Shellbrook. The other four are at various stages of meeting licensure and immigra-tion requirements.

Gene Makowsky, retired offensive line-man for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and now Sask Party MLA for Regina-Dewdney, was the guest speaker at a Ros-thern-Shellbrook Constituency Associa-tion fundraising dinner in Spiritwood Nov 17.
Makowsky retired after a seventeen year career with the Riders, for whom he now holds the record for the most games – 284 --played in the green and white. His ad-dress was short on politics, but long on rec-ollection and humor, which seemed to suit his audience just fi ne. In it, he compared his former occupation to his new one.
One of the similarities between football and politics, he said, was its competitive-ness.
“I worked hard,” he said about his 2011 campaign in Regina to unseat the NDP in-cumbent. “I wanted to win.”
He said that the team concept was anoth-er similarity, and also, careers are short.
“It can be a tough business,” he said. “There are no guarantees. And also, when things go wrong, you only get blame.”
One difference he noted that was that in politics, there is no physical contact.
“That’s both good and bad,” he joked..He said that in football, a player gets im-
mediate feedback, whereas a politician gets feedback “once every four years.”
“I’m a rookie all over again,” he said.He explained why he got into politics.“I’ve always been interested in govern-
ment,” he said, “I liked Social Studies class. I was an armchair Prime Minister, MP, ‘ah, just do it.’”
“But it’s not that easy,” he said.About the Sask Party caucus, he said “We
have so many passionate people who care so much about this province.
“I have three young boys,” he went on. “I love Saskatchewan. It’s my home.”
He said that over the years he saw so many young people heading west because there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for them in Sas-katchewan.
“I didn’t want that for my kids,” he said. “I want my kids to have an opportunity right here in Saskatchewan.”
“Our premier is a difference-maker,” he said. “I like the new Saskatchewan. I like people succeeding. I don’t want to go back to where we were before.”
Prior to the guest speaker, MLA Scott Moe gave a couple of highlights of the Saskatch-ewan Growth Plan.

Continued from page 1The community has been without full
time acute care and emergency hospital service since July of 2011, when three resi-dent physicians left the community.
The Health Region, Physician Recruit-ment and Retention Committee and com-munity members have been working on bringing the number of physicians back to an acceptable level to restore those ser-vices.
The Region anticipates that the new Shellbrook and Districts Integrated Health Complex will be move in ready by
the middle of 2013 and are hopeful that all of the recruited physicians will have cleared their licensure and immigration requirements a short time after.
Dr. Ibrahim, along with his wife and children, arrived in Shellbrook last week.
He will establish his clinic at the Shell-brook Primary Health Care Clinic. Ap-pointments can be made by calling 747-2552.
Dr. Ibrahim received his medical train-ing at the University of Punjab in Lahore, Pakistan, with post-graduate training in the United Kingdom.

The team of Doug Schmirler, Wayne Bazley, Gloria Nichol and Sylvia Savage completed the improbable during a Monday afternoon curling match -- an eight ender. During the regular senior curling session, at the Shellbrook Curl-ing Club, the team scored with each of their eight rocks to take a commanding 12-5 lead in the seventh end in what was a close match up until that point. For accomplishing this feat, the team will receive 8- Ender pins and certifi cates from the Canadian Curling Association.

Nearly 500,000 Cana-dian families took advan-tage of the Children’s Arts Tax Credit last year. The Children’s Arts Tax Credit is a program introduced by our government in Budget 2011 to help families with children sixteen and under fund artistic, cultural, rec-reational or developmental activity.
Families with children participating in activities focusing on the arts have saved up to $500 per child at tax time, thanks to the CATC.
Eligible programs in-clude those that contrib-ute to the development of creative skills or expertise
in artistic or cultural activi-ties, focus sub-stantially on wilderness and the natural en-vironment, help children develop and use particu-lar intellectual skills, include structured in-teraction among children where s u p e r v i s o r s teach or help children develop i n t e r p e r s o n a l skills and those that provide enrichment or tutoring in academic sub-jects.
Keeping taxes low while provid-ing more afford-able access to artistic and cul-tural for families is important to our government. Helping children reach their full potential is im-portant to par-ents and vital to the future of our country.
Thanks to the initiatives of our Conserva-tive government,
hard-working Canadian families now receive more than $3000 in extra tax
savings.Those interested in par-
ticipating in the program this year should check the Canada Revenue Agency website and remember to save receipts for use when filing your taxes in 2013.
As always, I look forward to your letters, e-mails and calls. Write me at: Rob Clarke MP,
House of Commons, 502 Justice Building, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A6. I hope you will
find time to visit my website http://www.robclarkemp.ca E-mail [email protected] or call my constituency office toll-free at 1-866-400-2334.

Continued from page 1“We spent the summer consulting
with stakeholder groups,” Moe said. “We’ve had some good things happen over the past few years. We set out to see what we had to do to ensure it con-tinues as we move forward.”
He said that the growth plan is unique because it goes beyond the four-year cycles that politicians typically think in.
“This goes to 2020,” he said. “It’s good for our province to think in terms of that.”
He said that the consultation process showed that there was a need for infra-structure funding.
“Whether it be rinks, hospitals, high-ways, sewer and water lines,” he said, “we need to work at all three levels of government to address our infrastruc-
ture needs if we are to continue to grow at the rate we have.”
He went on to provide some agricul-tural statistics,
“Sometimes we undersell ourselves,” he said. “We are the largest food ex-porting province in Canada, due in no small part to the hard work of our farm families and industry partners, and it is something we can be very proud of.”
He said that 58% of the lentils, 55% of the peas, 38% of the canola and 34% of the mustard produced in the world comes from Saskatchewan, and Sas-katchewan is the second-largest beef exporter in Canada.
“The government does have some place in agriculture in fostering an en-vironment that will allow us to expand, and we certainly want to do that.”
Several MLAs from around the prov-ince came out to the supper to support Moe at the fundraiser for the Constitu-ency Association. This list included: Victoria Jurgens (Prince Albert North-cote), Corey Tochor (Saskatoon East-view) and Larry Doke (Cut Knife-Tur-tleford).
A number of door prizes were drawn, including three #60 Makowsky Rider jerseys, which the rookie MLA gladly autographed.
At the end of the evening, Makowsky was presented with a green sweater signed by all in attendance as a gift for his contribution to the evening.
The MC for the evening was Bevra Fee, president of the Rosthern-Shell-brook Sask Party Constituency Associa-tion.

Former Saskatchewan Roughrider and current Regina Dewdney MLA Gene Makowsky takes time after his guest speaking duties to sign autographs for those in attendance.
Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatch-ewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced fund-ing this week to help pasture patron groups prepare to as-sume operation of federal community pastures.
“Returning these lands back to their provincial owners is a great opportunity for those, with a more direct stake in the use of the land, to take over the pasture manage-ment,” said Ritz. “Our government is pleased to work with the Province of Saskatchewan and use the fl exibility of Growing Forward programming to support this transfer.”
“Pasture patrons have been the priority for our gov-ernment throughout this transition,” Stewart said. “This funding will help patron groups with the business costs associated with assuming operation of these pastures and we will continue working hand-in-hand with them throughout this process.”
Funding will be available to patron groups for up to 75 per cent of the costs associated with establishing legal en-tities and the development of business plans, up to a max-imum of $80,000. In addition, funding will be available for up to 75 per cent of the costs for patrons to improve their business management skills, up to a maximum of $40,000.
Pasture patron groups are eligible for a maximum ben-efi t of up to $120,000 per group. Funding will be provided under the Saskatchewan Farm Business Development Ini-tiative.
Funding to help patrons establish business plans, form legal entities and access training was one of the recom-mendations made by the Pastures Advisory Committee. The Committee is made up of industry leaders and was appointed to provide advice and recommendations to the provincial government regarding the transition of these pastures.
“We are pleased the federal and provincial governments are providing this funding to assist patrons in developing their business plans,” Saskatchewan Stock Growers Presi-dent Harold Martens said. “We know this transition will require some business expertise and this funding will go a long way to helping ensure a smooth transition.”
“We have heard from many pasture patrons who are looking to move forward with establishing a business model and this funding will assist them in that process,” SARM President David Marit said. “We appreciate this funding and the support governments are providing to patrons.”
For more information, patrons can contact their lo-cal Ministry of Agriculture Regional Services offi ce, call 1-866-457-2377 or visit www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca.
Funding for this program is being provided under the federal-provincial Growing Forward agreement.

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com November 23, 2012
"You have a secret that can ruin your life."That phrase sounds like basic premise of the latest
blockbuster thriller or best selling novel but they hold a sense of truth for all of us.
That phrase is the opening line from a column writ-ten by Wired Magazine senior writer Mat Honan.
Honan was the victim of an "epic hack" this summer that spanned his entire digital life.
Despite elaborate passwords, the hacker(s) found their way into his Apple,Twitter and gmail accounts. Using this information they wiped all of his Apple de-
vices of their content, including the photos of his 18 month old daughter.
After this immense invasion of his privacy, he went on to exhaus-tively research internet security.
What he found was that our digital lives are just too easy to crack and the reason for that is that passwords are no longer an effi cient way to protect our pri-vacy. He argues that because all of our digital accounts- Face-book, email, online banking- are linked, if you have access to one you can fi nd a way to access it all. If a hacker fi nds their way into your email account they can
simply send password requests to your bank and social media accounts to gain further access to your life.
The biggest problem, he says, is that in order for peo-ple to use these digital offerings they have to be con-venient but convenient doesn't usually translate into effective.
An eight digit alphanumeric password offers no real challenge to a seasoned hacker, who could be anyone from a member of the Russian mob to your neighbour's
14-year-old kid. With the processing power of today's basic computers, it would take just minutes to breach a password of even the most random characters. While coming up with a 30o char-acter alphanumeric pass-word would help keep mis-creants out of your business, it would also keep the own-ers of accounts out as well.
Adding the extra protec-tion of security questions isn't all that effective either as many of us give freely of our personal information.
I've always thought it was a bad idea to post pictures to social media while on va-
cation but the reality is that volunteering any type of information online gives hackers and thieves a glimpse into your life and a shot at stealing your personal infor-mation. We just make it too easy for them.
Essentially, we've been lulled into complacency with the use of passwords. Because everyone uses them and there is no real alternative, we trust that they will keep our accounts safe but in today's world that just isn't pos-sible.
Honan's proposed solution involves a decrease in per-sonal privacy. System check ups that involve keying in on our location, DNA verifi cation and speech patterns.
It all sounds like the plot from a futuristic, dystopian novel but this is the new reality in our mega-wired, computer dependant lives.
Honan's piece, " Kill the Password: Why a String of Characters Can’t Protect Us Anymore" can be found at http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/11/ff-mat-hon-an-password-hacker/all/
The dangers of modern life
Sask has highest job vacancy rate
BRAD
DUPUIS
~News
Editor
Saskatchewan employers have been struggling for sev-eral years now, trying to match their need for workers with the available labour supply. And they’ve been coming up short.
The result has been a sharp increase in the number of people moving to the province, drawn by the lure of job opportunities. And em-ployers have responded by pushing wage rates higher, putting us in the top two or three in the country in terms of average wage rates.
Against that backdrop of a workers’ market, the Canadian Federation of independent busi-ness has come up with a new index to track the number of unfilled jobs in the private sector. To qualify a job must be vacant for at least four months.
And it turns out Saskatchewan, along with Alberta, has the highest vacancy rate in the country at 3.6 per cent, roughly 50% higher than the national average.
That translates into nearly 12,000 open positions in the private sector alone. That would translate into all the jobs in a city the size of Yorkton or Swift Current.
* * *The first forecast for this year’s holiday spending plan
suggests it is going to be a good one for Canadian retail-ers.
The Bank of Montreal has just released the results of a poll of 1,000 Canadians on their expected spending pat-terns for this year.
Some of the findings were not so surprising: that wom-en start early and men wait until the last minute.
What was a bit more of a surprise, though, was how ag-gressive people are planning to be this year.
The average Canadian plans to spend nearly $100 more on gifts this year and roughly $200 more on travel.
When you break it down to regionally, however, Sas-katchewan residents are not planning to be so extravagant.
We will come in below the national average on the amount we’re spending on gifts, travel and entertaining.
The primary reason we’re behind the national average is Ontario where spending is going to be dramatically higher than just about anywhere.
When asked why they’re planning to spend more, the top answers were: having more peo-ple to buy for and doing better financially.
* * *The impact of wild weather conditions is now
starting to filter through to forecasts for the ag-ricultural sector in this province.
A new report issued by the economics unit at TD Can-ada Trust says the only thing that is predictable about agriculture this year is unpredictability. Severe weather conditions in many regions, but most especially in the US Midwest, cut into global production this year.
The result is stronger prices for grains and oilseeds with some crop prices jumping 40 per cent in one month this summer, good news for Saskatchewan grain farmers who have decent inventory this year.
This is not such a positive story for livestock producers, though.
They rely on feed grains which are far more costly so many have dumped animals depressed prices, pushing the two largest hog producers in the West went into re-ceivership or restructuring.
The bank put a finer point on it by saying that the avail-able stock of corn in the world is at a 39 year low so this will take more than one year just to get that back to nor-mal levels.

Essentially, we've been lulled into
complacency with the use of passwords... we trust that they will keep our
accounts safe but in today's world that just isn't
possible.
In this age of partisanship at all costs, the spirit of political co-operation and compro-mise is something that seems to have fallen out of favour in political discussion.
We’ve heard a little more about it south of the border since U.S. President Barack Obama’s re-election. With a looming debt crisis and the political reality that extremist in the Repub-lican Party did not do it any favours at polls, American politicians have been talking a lot more about what they call bi-partisanship ap-proach.
But with the deep divisions in today’s Amer-ican politics, any sense of co-operation is like-ly to be short-lived.
Here in Canada where we once prided ourselves as be-ing a nation of consensus, there has been little co-opera-tion on the federal scene.
The warfare between the Liberals and the then-minor-ity Conservatives in the last Parliament was positively tribal. And it’s likely worsened since Prime Minster Ste-phen Harper’s Conservatives majority government that’s been eager to ram through changes in huge omnibus bills.
Even here in co-operative-minded Saskatchewan, one can fi nd two or three cases of mindless and stubborn feuding for every example of reasonability.
For example, Premier Brad Wall deserves credit for at least exploring a Heritage Fund as promoted by the NDP in last year’s election. But such rare incidents of consen-sus have been overshadowed by the massive labour law changes and an irrational refusal to consider that the elimination of the Film Tax Credit might have been an economic error, It leaves one with overall impression that compromise is something that doesn’t happen much at the Saskatchewan Legislature. The deep political divi-sions are a reality in province where there seems to be a lot of distance on the political spectrum between the NDP and the Saskatchewan Party.
However, there have been a couple occasions of late, the Sask. Party government and the NDP Opposition have seemed to be able to fi nd common ground on a
couple of rather important issues.The fi rst is in regard to greater protection
of night-shift retail workers _ a private mem-ber’s bill called Jimmy’s Law, tirelessly pro-moted for a year now by NDP labour critic David Forbes.
In honour of Yorkton gas attendant Jimmy Wiebe who was shot to death 18 months in a robbery, Forbes promoted a series of security measures including requiring employers to have two people on during such shifts.
Labour Minister Don Morgan rejected that aspect of the proposed law as too onerous on small businesses. However, he did adopt Forbes’s suggestions for increased video sur-
veillance, minimal cash on hand and employees wearing lanyards with panic buttons. Again, it wasn’t everything the NDP wanted, but it was a case of both sides demon-strating a lot of wisdom and compromise.
This is how things should work in government.Similarly, a change to government policy that will re-
sult in an online registry of older public buildings with asbestos is another example of government somewhat listening to a good Opposition idea.
NDP MLA Cam Broten pushed for a mandatory re-quirement that all school divisions and health regions le-gally provide this information on asbestos. This was the notion advocated by former building inspector Howard Willems, who died Friday of asbestos-related cancer.
Morgan’s argument, however, is that many school di-visions and health regions can’t possibly know what’s in their older buildings. For that reason, it is better to have an online guideline and for anyone involved in renova-tion or demolition of such older buildings to assume as-bestos insulation is a possibility.
One suspects that the government may be little too worried about lawsuits and costs of compliance.
That said, we are better off to have some level of aware-ness of asbestos than none at all. At the very least, it’s a good fi rst step.
And such positive change only happen when politi-cians actually listen to each and decide to co-operate.

Dear Editor:Thank you for the article in the Shellbrook Chronicle
(12/10/19-p. 3) and Spiritwood Herald titled ‘Organic claims not always accurate.’ It was good to point out that the sys-tems in place now is not perfect, because of the premium pricing there are people in the game who are more inspired by the extra bucks rather than what the designation ‘Organ-ic’ stands for. Column 2 correctly gives one confi dence that it SHOULD have no GMO, for instance.
Unfortunately, the greed part inspired I.S. Orgs when they brought in the government hoping for offi cial status and the US Government lowered standards. It’s arrived in Canada after much discussion altered. As the article points out Or-ganic Crop/Horizon/Cascadoian Farms/General Mills aren’t going to stand on the sidelines watching someone else’s cash register ring up premiums. Accordingly, we now need to per-sonally inspect a farm and maybe move on to ‘Permaculture’, etc. Org defi nitely needs tightening up or articles that make attempts to reduce it to zero deserving or not.
I have not read Avery’s book, but there is more to be said on this. The ice age passed over mineralized rocks grinding them and leaving behind only what they contained. The US Government knowing this ordered a survey, around 1939, of what soils had and didn’t;have to grow nutritious crops. The war and post war surplus of munitions stopped this. We now have the age of N.P.K. If it looks like a carrot, it must be a carrot mentality.

Be wary of organic claims
Dear Editor,What would you sell to save the life of a loved one? Every-
thing? So would the African grandmothers to save the lives of their children and grandchildren.
In 2004, Canadians kept their promise to the world to make life saving generic drugs accessible to developing countries. Parliament unanimously passed Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR).
Unfortunately, CAMR is fatally fl awed. In the many days, weeks, months, and years since that proud moment, one shipment of drugs made it to one country.
Two CAMR reform efforts have been thwarted by proroga-tion and an election call. Another effort will die if not passed on November 28. The death of Bill C-398 will result in more preventable deaths.
The African grandmothers would sacrifi ce everything for their children—we need only sacrifi ce a few moments to contact our MPs. Enter your postal code at http://tinyurl.com/7os8ebg and demand your MP vote yes. (If your MP has concerns, visit http://tinyurl.com/8w8vcfb for ammu-nition to shoot down any myths surrounding this bill.) Stand compassionately on your hill and send a forceful message to Parliament Hill, pass Bill C-398.

Government updates more than 70 liquor
regulationsThe provincial government is modernizing
Saskatchewan’s liquor regulations with a fo-cus on reducing red tape and creating new op-portunities and fl exibility for businesses.
“Saskatchewan has many liquor regula-tions that haven’t undergone a comprehensive review for decades,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer said.
“Our government is pleased to make these changes today and remains committed to re-viewing regulations on an ongoing basis.”
Included in the more than 70 changes: sa-lons, spas and movie theatres will be eligible for special use liquor permits, restaurants will be able to offer Bring Your Own Wine (BYOW) service to customers, eligibility for off-sale endorsements will be expanded; and increased fl exibility for golf courses and
sports stadiums.In 2010, a government-wide review of red
tape was initiated. The province’s alcohol regulations were the fi rst to go through this process. The review of liquor regulations included feedback from stakeholders and a detailed review by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA).
Some of the changes will require legisla-tive and regulatory amendments while others will occur through SLGA policy changes.
The necessary legislative amendments are expected to be introduced during the cur-rent fall legislative session and are expected to be passed in the spring along with neces-sary regulatory amendments. SLGA’s policy changes will occur in the coming months. All liquor permittees will be notifi ed of the vari-ous changes.

Monsanto, Dupont, Pepsi, Coke, Con-Agro spent multi mil-lions before the November US vote just in California to avoid having to label food that contains GMO.

Future of agriculture molded by Harper's visionWhen we look at agriculture in the future in this country
it is going to look like Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party's vision of the sector.
The Harper led Conservatives have had a vision of ag-riculture unfettered by any government rules and regu-lations, and now with its fi rst majority government it is pushing its agenda to fruition.
The fi rst massive change was the elimination of the single-desk selling agency for Prairie-grown wheat, du-rum and export bound barley, the Canadian Wheat Board. The process undertaken by the Conservative government was suspect, and whether ultimately deemed illegal by the courts, it certainly played fast and loose with the spirit of Parliament.
That said, it was a change this government would have ultimately been able to manifest based on the aforemen-tioned majority since Harper and his party have repeated-ly shown their vision of things is paramount regardless of the suggestions of others. They forget how small a percent-age of Canadians actually marked their ballots in favour of the Conservatives. It is a majority created on riding after riding splitting votes in a multi-party system so they are far from the popular choice. They are however above such concerned with their arrogance showing.
And now the Canadian Grain Com-mission has been radically changed by the Conservatives, and they have done so in a way which limited debate on an issue farmers should have con-cerns about.
Canadian Grain Commission rules and responsibilities passed through the House of Commons agriculture committee recently but most people would not have been aware of it.
The changes were included in the huge budget bill C-45, and as a result really got lost in the process of review, a situation one has to feel was by de-
sign. This federal government has never been particularly keen on listening to views not in lockstep with their own.
The proposed Grain Commission changes would lead to reduced inspection, an end to in-ward inspection of grain moving between inland terminals and export facilities and would see millions of dollars in new user fees passed on to farmers.
High grain prices might soften the impact of new user fees, but it is still picking the pocket of farmers who will
pay for services previously deemed appropriate for the large taxpayer base to bear.
The reduction of inspections is also a strange decision in that increasingly the consumer is demanding more and more effort to ensure food safety, and inspections by an agency such as the Grain Commission fi t into that trend.
Of course inspection in agriculture appears to be gener-ally seen as cumbersome by this government who has also tinkered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as it remolds agriculture in one refl ective of the Conservative Party ideals.
In terms of consumer trust in a food system, and respect internationally in terms of grain exports, the Canadian system has worked well for Canadian farmers for years now.
Any system can of course use the occasional tweak to keep it current, but the Conservative Party moves are fun-damentally changing the parametres under which agencies like the Canadian Grain Commission operate on behalf of farmers.
The Conservatives are fundamentally changing farming powered by their bulletproof majority, and farmers will need to adapt since the chance of tempering Harper's vi-sion is a slim one.

Agriculture industry ex-perts will work under a new mandate to continue their work on fi nding effi ciencies and driving costs out of the entire value chain. The Crop Logistics Working Group’s (CLWG) second mandate will focus on improving the performance of the supply chain for all crops, with a fo-cus on innovation, capacity,
and stakeholder collabora-tion.
“The economy remains a top priority and agriculture is playing a vital role as a driver of jobs and future growth,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “Along with a focus on innovation, markets, and competitive-ness, our government knows that logistical effi ciencies
can also strengthen the overall economy by ensur-ing that the agricultural sec-tor can reap the rewards of a dynamic and growing global marketplace.”
The CLWG provides a venue for collaboration throughout the supply chain to help improve the effi cien-cy in how grains move from farm to customer, whether
in Canada or around the globe. The CLWG will iden-tify performance measure-ment gaps in grain indus-try supply chains and work to develop a grain logistics performance measurement framework. They will also have a mandate to fi nd ways to build capacity and inves-tigate how innovation can further strengthen the logis-
tical value chain. This renewed mandate
for the CLWG is part of the Harper Government’s long-term strategy to strengthen and modernize the grain industry. The Harper Gov-ernment has already re-moved the single desk and introduced reforms for the Canadian Grain Commis-sion, and it will be tabling legislation to improve the
rail freight system. These changes will attract invest-ment, encourage innovation, create value-added jobs, and build a stronger economy across the country. Growing Forward 2 will also continue to focus on modernizing the grain sector. The CLWG will continue to provide industry leadership on how to capture the opportunities that mar-keting freedom provides.
Feds and grain industry collaborate to improve grain value chain
BY BRYAN DOIG, PAGSASKATCHEWAN MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE
There has been a continued increase in the use of corn for forage (grazing and silage) production in West-ern Canada. The Census of Agriculture indicates that corn used for silage production in Saskatchewan has in-creased from 4,353acres in 2001 to 16,583 acres in 2006, and 26,786 acres in 2011. An increasing number of cattle producers are incorporating corn into their fall and win-ter grazing practices.
New forage varieties of corn have lower Corn Heat Unit (CHU) requirements, higher yields, lower fibre levels and increased levels of digestibility. The CHU indicates how many heat units are needed for
the grain to reach maturity. Provincial CHU maps are available to help determine the average CHU ratings for various locations in Saskatchewan. Work done in Mani-toba indicates that corn used for forage compared to grain production requires 200 less CHUs to reach 65 per cent moisture content (whole plant). This is the point where corn is usually cut for silage.
A review of several research papers indicates 60 per cent or more of the total dry matter contains the grain, cobs and husks. The balance of the dry matter comes from the leaves, stalks and tassels. When the moisture content in whole plant corn is about 65 per cent, the av-erage Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN or energy) level is around 65 per cent. The Crude Protein content averag-es 8 per cent to 8.5 per cent. These values are 100 per cent Dry Matter (DM) basis. There will be variability in the energy and protein levels, depending on the year and many other factors. A feed analysis is always rec-ommended to obtain accurate values prior to feeding or grazing.
A 1,400 pound cow, six months pregnant with outside air temperature of -10 C, requires a diet containing 62 per cent TDN and 8 per cent Crude Protein (100 per cent DM). In most situations, corn used for grazing meets or exceeds the energy and protein requirements for early and mid-winter conditions. Calcium levels tend to be low in whole plant corn. Use a 2:1 or 3:1 mineral con-taining salt to encourage ready intake.
When cut at 65 per cent moisture content, most of the cobs will have filled with grain. As cattle are turned out to graze the standing corn, many will focus their at-tention on consuming the cobs, ignoring the leaves and stalks. There have been reported cases of grain overload and free gas bloat.
To avoid those problems, producers have had good suc-cess using electric fencing to graze smaller areas of the field. Narrow alleys are created by pushing down corn plants with a front-end loader or a quad. A two-wire electric fence is placed in the middle of the open alley. The alleys have to be wide enough so that corn plants knocked over during grazing do not fall on the charged wires.
Ideally, the paddocks should be sized to provide three days of grazing. The bulk of the corn stalks should be eaten before moving the cows to the next paddock.
Long term trials have shown that one acre of corn would provide 250 cow days of grazing (1,400 pound cows), 150 cows grazing for 60 days require 150 X 60 = 9,000 cow grazing days ÷ 250 cow grazing days per acre equals 36 acres of corn for grazing.
For more information on this, or other forage related topics, contact Bryan Doig, Regional Forage Specialist at (306) 446-7477 or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

PAPHR board reviews progress on regional prioritiesThe Prince Parkland RHA board of directors had their fi rst Visibility Wall Walk during the regular meeting held November 14, 2012 in Prince Albert. The Visibility Wall is a tool used in Lean management systems to monitor prog-ress on an organization’s priorities.
At Prince Albert Parkland leadership meetings, the Re-gion’s Senior Management team member responsible for a priority project report on their results. If the results are not on track to meet targets, the vice president must pro-vide a corrective action plan, which outlines the steps he or she will take to get back on track. Prince Albert Park-land reports measures on the following priorities: Im-proving Acute Care Patient Flow by focusing on improv-ing the patient fl ow in the emergency department, which also includes addressing the need to ensure patients can be admitted to an inpatient bed when required. Implement Medication Reconciliation (a patient safety best practice) on admission to Acute Care and on transfer/discharge in two Acute Care units. Elimination of workplace injuries, including a Safety Management System and focus on the areas with the highest injury rates. Build regional infor-mation technology infrastructure required to support and align with the provincial shared services strategy, which
will allow for improved access to required information sys-tems for both clinical and non-clinical services. Improving Access to Primary Care services, with a particular focus on rural locations and access on day of choice. Enhanc-ing First Line Managers Support by focusing on reducing non-essential work for managers and work with patients, families and staff members on enhanced safety and quality initiatives.
“The visibility wall supports the Saskatchewan health-care management system being adopted across the entire province,” said Cecile Hunt, Chief Executive offi cer.
“You will be able see visibility walls in every region, the Cancer Agency, Health Quality Council and Ministry of Health. Every week, the Region’s leadership team reviews the visibility wall, focusing on areas where targets are not being met and respond to corrective action plans.”
Over time, all programs or units will establish visibility walls and wall walks. This will become part of daily visual management systems that will support health system and regional alignment.
* * * Other notes from the regular board meeting include:* The Health Region has an operating surplus of
$1,621,412 as of August 31, 2012. With required transfers to the capital account included the Region’s surplus decreases to $1,111,340. Taking into consideration cyclical expenses such as utilities, employee benefi ts, professional fees and vacation pay accruals, the Region is currently forecasting a year-end defi cit of just over $1.8 million. Increasing sick time usage and workplace injuries are major factor in the defi cit projection. The Region has developed corrective ac-tion to eliminate the projected defi cit.
* The Region is being provided funding by the Ministry of Health for a third full-time physician position in Spir-itwood to meet primary health care needs. Once further details are available recruitment will commence in part-nership with the community and surrounding area.
* Saskatchewan Cancer Agency had two representatives make presentation on the efforts to enhance the Commu-nity Oncology Program of Saskatchewan and the rollout plans for the colorectal cancer screening programs (sched-uled for early 2013 in Prince Albert Parkland).
The next Regional Health Authority meeting is sched-uled for Wednesday, December 19, 2012 in the Upper Level meeting room, Parkland Ambulance, 555 13th Street East, Prince Albert. The meeting begins at 1 p.m.
RCMP look for help in missing persons case
Tara Fawn ChartrandT F Ch t d
The Regina Police Service is repeating its request for infor-mation to assist in locating 30 year-old Tara Fawn Chartrand, of Regina, who has not been home since mid-September. Po-lice are extending their appeal for information to include the communities of Yorkton and Broadview, SK; as well as Russell, Dauphin and Winnipeg, MB. Thirty year-old Tara Fawn Char-trand, , of Regina, was last seen leaving her home inthe 1100 block of Rae Street, on Sunday September 16th.
CHARTRAND is described as female, Aboriginal, 5’1” and about 107 lbs, with short, straight, brown hair and brown eyes. Chartrand has a tribal art tattoo on her left arm, dolphins and earth tattoo on her upper torso, the letters “SGP” on her right wrist and“Elmo” on her right hand, a Cross and the word “Ken-isha” on her right calf, a feather on her left elbow, theinitials “TC” on her left shoulder, and a heart on her left ankle. She also
had a circular scar on her left hand. Chartrand also sometimes goes by the last name of SHINGOOSE. At this time, there is no explanation for Chartrand extended absence. Because she has not had contact with her family or friends for weeks, her fam-ily and police are concerned for her well-being. Chartrand has family andpersonal connections in the communities of York-ton and Broadview, Saskatchewan, as well as Russell,Dauphin and the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. For that reason, police are extending their appeal for information to these communities.
Anyone with information that can help locate Tara Fawn CHARTRAND, or anyone who has seen someone matching the description of CHARTRAND, is asked to contact the Regina Police Service at 777- 6364 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Photos of Tara CHARTRAND are available at www.reginapolice.ca .
Following several consecutive years of enrolment growth, early indications are that SIAST will experience yet another record-setting year. Year-to-date, enrol-ment is up four per cent over last year; over the four years previous, enrolment grew 30 per cent.
Enrolment numbers tell only part of the story at SIAST. For every three stu-dents who accepted a seat in a SIAST certifi cate or diploma program this year,
another two qualifi ed applicants were turned away. Seats were in high demand at all SIAST locations, but campuses in Saskatoon and Regina had the highest numbers of qualifi ed applicants who could not be accommodated. Although SIAST ties program capacity to labour market need, in some instances space limitations prevent it from responding fully.
SIAST schedules start dates through-
out the year, so the full impact of en-rolment increases in 2012-13 won’t be known until after the academic year ends. At this point, however, enrolment is up in certifi cate and diploma pro-grams, apprenticeship and Basic Educa-tion. SIAST is Saskatchewan’s primary public institution for post-secondary technical education and skills training, recognized nationally and internation-ally for its expertise and innovation.
Enrolment continues to climb at SIAST

CAA Saskatchewan reminds drivers to stay soberThe season of holiday festivities will soon be here and
CAA Saskatchewan is once again supporting SADD’s (Students Against Drinking & Driving) Red Ribbon Cam-paign as part of its efforts to help prevent impaired driv-ing. CAA Saskatchewan distributes the ribbons, which symbolize opposition to drinking and driving, through its 12 offices across the province as well as the CAA Car Care Centres in Regina and Saskatoon.
The red ribbon can be placed on a vehicle aerial or mir-ror to serve as a visible reminder that fatalities and inju-ries caused by drinking and driving are preventable. In addition to the SADD red ribbons, CAA Saskatchewan offices also have complimentary copies of SMASHED,
A Sober Look at Drinking and Driving as well as Win-ter Driving Safety Tips from Transport Canada. Winter driving tips are also available at www.caask.ca/safety.
“CAA Saskatchewan is a safety advocate for motor-ists. That’s why we’re proud to assist SADD in its work to eliminate drinking and driving,” said Christine Niem-czyk, Director of Corporate Communications with CAA Saskatchewan. “We encourage drivers to visit our loca-tions and pick up their red ribbon to help support this worthwhile campaign. Most importantly, we urge every-one not to drink and drive. During the holiday season, please ensure you have a designated driver to get you home safely.”
Research shows that nearly 80 per cent of Canadians continue to be very concerned about drinking and driv-ing. Statistics reveal that alcohol-related crashes ac-count for about 28% of all motor vehicle fatalities (Traf-fic Injury
Research Foundation, 2011).According to Saskatchewan Government Insurance
(SGI) drinking and driving remains the number one contributing factor in fatal collisions in our province. In 2011, there were 1,284 alcohol-related collisions, result-ing in 619 injuries and 52 deaths.
Please don’t drink and drive. Help keep our roads safe for everyone.
BY SARA WILLIAMSIt’s like Christmas ahead-of-time when
The Prairie Garden (www. prairiegarden.ca) arrives in my mailbox. And the 2013 edition is no exception. It marks the 74th edition of this annual publication devoted to garden-ing on the prairies. This year’s theme is one that’s close to my heart – Perennials!
This year the guest editor is Jane Reksten, manager of the Botanic Gardens of Olds College, Olds, Alberta. The enthusiasm that Jane Reksten brings to this edition is pal-pable: “I am fascinated by everything about perennials, including their history and the personalities with which they intertwine.”
Some of the articles focus on a particular genus such as phlox, perennial (cranesbill) geraniums, fl eecefl owers, ornamental on-ions, peonies, veronica, gasplant and lilies. Others discuss designing with perennials, using perennials in containers, the peren-nial trials at the Calgary Zoo, native peren-nials, ornamental grasses, early perennials, and raising perennials from seed.
As always, there are articles on general
gardening topics in addition to the main theme. Rick Durand, a well-known Mani-toba plant breeder, discusses the “Future of Canadian Rose Breeding.” Barry Greig, horticulturist, explains the success of grow-ing the elusive blue poppy (Meconopsis bet-onicifolia) at the Devonian Botanic Garden southeast of Edmonton. Chet Neufeld of the Native Plant Society of Saskatchewan has written an article describing “Native Plants for Problem Spots” ranging from hot and dry to shade to wet areas. There are articles on more tender plants such as Sprekelia, sal-vias, calla lilies and amaryllis.
In addition, you can fi nd information about edibles such as strawberries, blueber-ries and perennial vegetables (asparagus, Egyptian walking onion, horse radish, Jeru-salem artichoke and rhubarb). The garden-er-turned-beer-brewer will be interested in an article about growing brewing hops which includes a description of both their culture and some of the newer cultivars.
The 2013 edition is 184 pages and in full
colour. As noted by permanent editor Rich-ard Denesiuk, “The use of perennials is a long standing tradition on the Prairies, but the range of choices available today has nev-er been greater.” Writers for this edition rep-resent Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manito-ba. A non-profi t publication dedicated to the advancement of horticulture in the prairie provinces, the Prairie Garden is published by a volunteer committee of 15-20 members based in Winnipeg.
Think Christmas! This is a wonderful gift for gardeners on your list and one they will refer to for years to come. Copies are avail-able at local bookstores and garden centres or directly from the Prairie Garden, P.O. Box 517, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 2J3; phone 204 489-3466, or by email: [email protected]. The cost is $13.95 with special quantity prices to horticultural societies and garden clubs. (Postage and handling are ad-ditional.)
The Prairie Garden is also available in Saskatoon from the Saskatchewan Peren-
nial Society (call 306 343-7707). Other won-derful Christmas gifts for prairie gardeners from the Perennial Society are the Japanese hand hoes (you’ll still be using them 20 years from now) for $15, and In A Cold Land, the stories of early Saskatchewan horticul-turists, Cecil Patterson, Percy Wright, Bert Porter, and Les Kerr for $14. Postage and handling on all of these items is additional.
Sara Williams’ new and expanded edi-tion of Creating the Prairie Xeriscape will be published by Coteau Books in February, 2013.

BID committee donates $10,000 to hospital projectA donation, long held in trust with a pur-
pose in mind, has finally been presented. The Shellbrook Business Improvement
District (BID) presented a $10,000 cheque to the Shellbrook and Districts Health Ser-vices Project last week.
The $10,000 was earmarked for the pur-pose of beautifying the hospital grounds or facility nearly 10 years ago – shortly after project fund raising began but long before the official construction announcement was made for the new integrated health care facility.
According to BID President, Larry Bros-sart, the funds donated to the project come from all of the businesses in Shellbrook through the annual BID levy.
The levy, which replaced business license fees when the committee came into exis-tence, funds the BID which has the man-date of beautifying the community to help maintain a positive business climate.
Through the years, funds from the bid have gone toward the manufacturing of the metal silhouettes that are fastened to the Main Street light standards, maintenance of the Highway 3 sign corridor and the planting and care of f lower baskets along Main Street.
The Shellbrook and Districts Integrated Health Complex will feature 20 acute care beds, 34 long term care beds and a whole host of community based services, like mental health and home care.
The facility construction is jointly funded between the Provincial government and the users on an 80-20 basis with an estimated price tag of $26 million.

“As we move forward to improve qual-ity, access, and effi ciency in health care for patients, we continue to be guided by our commitment to putting the patient fi rst in everything we do,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “As we continue our jour-ney, we can be proud that Saskatchewan is the fi rst province in Canada to apply Lean across its entire health care system.”
“I am enormously excited about the im-provements that are being made as we en-gage patients, staff and physicians in making our care more patient- and family-centred, safer and more effi cient,” Saskatoon Health Region President and CEO Maura Davies said. “The province’s investment in Lean is giving us training, new tools and improve-ment methods to transform our care and our workplaces.”
For example, three projects in Saskatoon have already achieved signifi cant improve-ments in care:
•Patients brought to St. Paul’s Hospital by EMS ambulance are now transitioned to nurse care 67 per cent faster. This reduction from 37 minutes to 18 was accomplished through standard work, improved handover processes and more effi cient use of space.
•Parents in labour now register directly in Labour and Delivery on the fourth fl oor of Royal University Hospital, rather than reg-istering in the Emergency Department. This
reduces their walking distance by 85 per cent and removes one stop in their journey to receiving care and becoming parents.
•Payroll errors and employee time spent on payroll fl ow sheets were reduced in a project at the Irene and Leslie Dubé Centre for Mental Health. This saves taxpayer re-sources, allows staff to focus on value-added work and improves employee satisfaction through faster and more accurate pay.
As a result of Lean projects, other signifi -cant improvements are occurring across the province. For example, using Lean prin-ciples, the Five Hills Health Region has embarked on a design phase that will lead to the opening of a new innovative, patient-centred regional hospital in Moose Jaw. In Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region, patients and staff at Four Directions Community Health Centre in North Central Regina are starting to see the benefi ts of the Lean pro-cess. The centre has implemented a same-day appointment program and the number of patients attended to has risen by 56 per cent without an increase in staffi ng. In ad-dition, by streamlining paperwork, waiting times were reduced, allowing staff to pro-vide more personalized care to patients.
Health care providers, physicians, leaders and staff are now participating in focused quality improvement projects to ensure that Lean and continuous improvement are em-bedded in Saskatchewan’s health system. More than 1,000 quality improvement proj-ects will occur across the health system to improve patient experiences and reduce er-rors.

The upcoming Christmas and Holiday season is a time of Family, Friendship and celebration but for many who have recent-ly experienced the loss of a loved one, the holidays can renew feelings of sadness, loss and pain. A time which used to be fi lled with laughter and wonderful memories, now can feel hollow and even hopeless. The follow are some suggestions of how to pre-pare for this time of year without becom-ing overcome by the emotions that may accompany our grief. There are ways to honor our memories and still celebrate the life, although changed forever, that we are living today.
DECIDE WHAT YOU CAN HANDLE COMFORTABLY and let family and friends
know Can I handle the responsibility of the family dinner, etc. or shall I ask someone else to do it? Do I want to talk about my loved one or not? Shall I stay here for the holidays or go to a completely different environment?
MAKE SOME CHANGES if they feel com-fortable for you. Open presents Christmas Eve instead of Christmas morning. Vary the timing of gift giving. Have dinner at a differ-ent time or place. Let the children take over decorating the house, the tree, baking and food preparation, etc.
RE-EXAMINE YOUR PRIORITIES: Greeting Cards, Holicay Baking, Decorat-ing, Putting up a tree, family dinner, etc. Do I really enjoy doing this? Is this a task that can be shared?
CONSIDER DOING SOMETHING SPE-CIAL for someone else. Donate a gift in the memory of your loved one. Donate money you would have spent on your loved one as a gift to charity. Adopt a needy family for the holidays. Invite a guest (foreign student, senior citizen) to share festivities.
RECOGNIZE YOUR LOVED ONE’S pres-cence in the family. Burn a special candle to quietly include your loved one. Hang a stock-ing for your loved one in which people can put notes with their thoughts or feelings. Listen to music especially liked by the deceased. Look at photographs.
WHEN IT COMES TO HOLIDAY SHOP-PING, make a list ahead of time and keep it handy for a good day or, shop through a cata-logue or on line.
OBSERVE THE HOLIDAYS in ways which are comfortable for you. There is no right or wrong way of handling the holidays. Once you’ve decided how to observe the time, let others know.
TRY TO GET ENOUGH REST - Holidays can be emotionally and physically draining.
ALLOW YOURSELF to express your feel-ings. Holidays often magnify feelings of loss. It is natural to feel sadness. Share concerns, ap-prehensions, feelings with a friend. The need for support is often greater during holidays.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE EXPERI-ENCE OF MANY BEREAVED PERSONS is that they do come to enjoy holidays again.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO HAVE FUN. Laughter and joy are not disrespectful.Give yourself and your family members permission to celebrate and take pleasure in the holidays but respect each other’s differences. Often we aren’t at the same place as others with our grief and that’s OK. Above all, be f lexible and gentle with yourself and have realistic expectations. If you want things to be just as there were, you’ll be disappointed. Grief changes us but it doesn’t have to isolate us and keep us from celebrating and even enjoying the holidays. It is normal to feel overwhelmed and anxious this time of year, especially if we are grieving. Expect that there will be some very difficult and challenging mo-ments but try to find the HOPE in what the new normal may look like.

Disappointing season still a success
A blockbuster trade in 1990 paved the way to a couple of World Series titles for the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans are hoping lightning strikes again in the wake of another major deal.
The Jays and Miami Mar-lins got together in mid-November and swapped 12 players. At its bare bones, here’s what happened: The Jays got the wheat; Miami got the chaff.
Blue Jays fans are ecstat-ic; Miami fans (what few of them are left) are ready to lynch owner Jeffrey Loria, who managed to pry mil-lions of taxpayer dollars out of Florida government offi cials to build a fancy new stadium that opened in 2012.
Now, instead of a World Series banner fl ying over the Marlins’ stadium, it seems like a white fl ag is blowing in the breeze.
Overnight, the Jays be-came a contender with the acquisition of starting pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson, and short-stop Jose Reyes, a former National League batting champ. Toronto got rid of only one regular, shortstop Yunel Escobar (the guy who embarrassed the team late last season by writing a ho-mophobic slur, in Spanish, on his eye-black).
The other jettisoned Jays are all promising prospects, but Toronto fans will be
quite happy to see them de-velop into big-league play-ers in Florida if it means Buehrle, Johnson and Reyes lead the Jays to the playoffs.
The trade appeared to be so one-sided that Commis-sioner Bud Selig said he needed a couple of days to study it before giving ap-proval, calling it a deal that might not be “in the best in-terests of baseball.”
It’s certainly in the best interests of the Blue Jays and their fans. Buehrle is an “innings-eater” who pitched a perfect game a couple of years back for the White Sox and was a 13-game win-ner with Miami in 2012. Johnson was 8-14 last year after missing most of 2011 with a shoulder injury, but was regarded as one of the game’s best young pitchers in 2009 and 2010, when he went 15-5 and 11-6, winning the NL ERA title in 2010 with a 2.30 mark.
Johnson and Buehrle will join Ricky Romero and Brandon Morrow in a sud-denly top-notch rotation. With the likes of Jose Bau-tista, Brett Lawrie, free-agent signee Melky Cabrera, Colby Rasmus, Adam Lind and Edwin Encarnacion banging the ball, it could be an exciting year around Rogers Centre in 2013.
By the way, that trade back in 1990? Tony Fernan-dez and Fred McGriff were sent packing to San Diego in exchange for Roberto
Alomar and Joe Carter. You might recall Carter hitting a pretty important home run for the Jays in 1993.
• Headline at SportsPick-le.com: "Miami starting to regret building $634 mil-lion stadium for Toronto's Triple-A team."
• Logan Morrison, Mar-lins outfi elder, in the af-termath of The Trade: “I bet Canadians are feeling a little better about NAFTA tonight . . .”
• Todd Behrendt, FoxS-ports.com: “Dear fans, we have no intention of win-ning anytime soon. Love, The Marlins. P.S. Thanks for the new stadium!”
• Dwight Perry of the Se-attle Times: “Guan Tiang-lang, a 14-year-old middle-school student from China, is set to become the young-est player in Masters histo-ry next April after winning the Asia-Pacifi c Amateur Championship in Thailand. And here we thought, when we were 14, that having a
paper route was cool.”• Comedy writer Jim
Barach: “R.A. Dickey of the Mets has become the fi rst knuckleballer to win the Cy Young Award. Which is not to be confused with Roger Clemens who was the fi rst knucklehead to win the award.”
• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “Scottie Pippin helped President Obama's team win a pickup basket-ball game on Election Day. Out of habit, Michael Jor-dan took the credit.”
• Currie again: “New York was hit with a major snow-storm just days after Hur-ricane Sandy. It's one disas-ter after another, like Tim Tebow going in for Mark Sanchez.”
• ESPN.com’s Jim Caple
gazes into his baseball's off-season crystal ball:
— “Thanksgiving Day: World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval tests positive for too much pumpkin pie.
— “Dec. 5: The Yankees place A-Rod on Craigslist.
— “Dec. 27: In an attempt to score more runs, the Mariners announce they are moving third base clos-er to home plate."
• Ex-Texas football coach Darrell Royal, who died re-cently at 88, on All-Amer-ican running back James Saxton: "He could run like small-town gossip."
• Perry again: “Steve Nash is out with a small fracture in his left leg — in just his second Lakers game. Prob-ably not the defi nition of fast break that Lakers fans
had in mind.”• Todd Dewey of the Las
Vegas Review-Journal, af-ter Cowboys owner Jerry Jones got locked out of his team's locker room: “Now that's an NFL lockout we can support.”
• Dwight Perry captioned this quip ‘Seasoned Veter-ans’: “This would be one spicy sideline interview: ESPN reporter Lisa Salters and Bears defensive end Ju-lius Peppers.”
• This sounds fi shy: Blog-ger Bill Littlejohn, after Mike Trout became the An-gels' fi rst Rookie of the Year since Tim Salmon: “Think their scouts used the same bait?”

One week ago at this time the wounds for the Saskatchewan Roughriders were so raw that it was too hard to either look back or ahead.
The Green and White had just come 30 seconds away from an improbable run to the 2012 CFL West Final but a last-minute mir-acle by the Calgary Stampeders earned them a 36-30 playoff win over our Riders and fi nished their season at McMahon Stadium.
It was painful. It was right up there with the 2009 Grey Cup (the 13th man), the 1976 Grey Cup (Tony Gabriel), the 2004 West Fi-nal (the McCallum overtime miss) and, I'm told, the 1970 Western Division playoffs, but I wasn't around yet so I don't know what they're talking about. Either way, just add more heartache to the
pile with which we live here in the 306.
So now comes the question: was the 2012 Roughrider season a suc-cess? It would seem everyone has an opinion on this and they all count. Considering Saskatchewan
was the worst team in the CFL in 2011 at 5-13 and rebounded with an 8-10 record and a playoff berth in 2012, I'll say it WAS a success. They improved a great deal.
There are many who agree in-cluding fi rst-year Rider coach Corey Chamblin, Hall of Fame sportswriter Bob Hughes and Sportsnet CFL reporter Arash Madani.
However there are many who disagree including former Roughriders (and now CKRM analysts) Carm Carteri and Scott Schultz and maybe, just maybe, Roughrider General Manager Brendan Taman himself.
In speaking with Regina report-ers at his year-end news confer-ence, Taman labeled this past season as "frustrating", explain-ing that they didn't achieve their
goals. Those included a winning record, hosting a playoff game and even making it to the Grey Cup.
It wasn't so long ago that was a regular occurrence with three Grey Cup appearances between 2007 and 2010. But this team hasn't gotten a sniff of the big dance for a couple seasons now and that's because the club was allowed to get old and out-of-date.
That run of success last decade was a magical time, almost like a dream, but it created two dilem-mas: 1) the franchise got compla-cent and 2) the Rider Nation now won't stand for anything less than a championship.
The fi rst problem has been rec-ognized and dealt with while the second one may not even be a problem at all, but it's not realis-
tic. To demand your team fi nish on top year-in and year-out is as much ludicrous as it is impossible. That would mean every fanbase of every team goes into the off-sea-son discouraged. Who wants that?
Can we at least say the Roughrid-ers are on the right track? No one can deny that and it's exciting be-cause for Chamblin and Taman, it was their true fi rst seasons on the job. How much will this team im-prove in 2013?
That, I'm afraid, is a million miles away but it's fun to dream about. And with the 2013 Grey Cup being played at Mosaic Sta-dium, there's a very realistic shot the Riders will be in it to defend their turf.
And that should be enough to send you into the off-season with a smile!

MILLARD - Irene. Lillian Irene Warnock was born at Azor, near Reward, Saskatchewan on May 31, 1920 to William Watson and Lillian May Warnock. She grew up on the family farm, the fourth of six children.
She received her elementary school education at Deer Lodge School and took High School by correspondence. She boarded in Unity and completed her Grade 12. She attended Normal School in Saskatoon in 1939-1940 and
received her fi rst teaching certifi cate. She soon found out that teaching was her passion. In January 1946 Irene came to Canwood to teach. On July 16, 1948 she married Alden Millard and moved to the farm in the Moose Valley district. She was a hard worker and a great cook, and before too long a devoted mother. A daughter and three sons made a hectic life, especially with occasional substitute teaching. In January 1961 she went back to teaching full time when a teacher was needed quickly and she
continued to teach unit June 1979 when she retired. She loved teaching and was never happier than when she was in the classroom.
She was Principal of the Primary School for many years. After retirement, and with more time on her hands, she became more active in the United Church and the UCW. Irene was editor of the Canwood History book, was a part of the steering committee for Whispering Pine Place, a member of the Clinic Board, and president of the Senior Citizens Club. She looked after the mini-golf for many years. Irene continued to enjoy knitting, crocheting, quilt-ing, fabric painting and gardening. Grandchildren added a new dimension to her life and she was a wonderful baby-sitter. When Alden passed away in September, 2003, she remained in her own home in Canwood for the next two and a half years. In 2006, she moved into an apartment in Prince Albert to be closer to family members and she enjoyed her smaller accommodations and her frequent visits from her Canwood friends and her relatives. Irene moved into Herb Bassett Home in December 2010. She passed away peacefully on November 8, 2012 with her family at her bedside.
She is survived by her daughter Elva Borsa (Andy) of Carrot River, grandson Ryan Nowosad (Kari) of Nipawin, great grandchildren Ethan, Maci& Kali and grandson Aaron Nowosad (Danielle) of Saskatoon; her son Lyle (Irene), step grand-daughter Tracy (Joel) and Kelsey; her son Bill; her daughter-in-law Wenda Millard (Dwayne Crashley) of Oliver, B.C., granddaughter Alexis Alexander (Jeff) of Austin, Texas, granddaughter Chelsea Fernandez (Jorge) of Austin, Texas, granddaughter Brittany Millard (Leo VonBerg) of Calgary, great-granddaughter Vienna; her sisters-in-law Ethel Millard and Terri Millard; her brother-in-law Bruce May; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years Alden Millard; her son George; her brother George; her parents, William and Lillian Warnock; her parents-in-law Fay and Jeannie Millard; her brothers Lloyd, George, and Bill; her sisters Helen Davisson and Beth May; her brothers-in-law Don Davisson, Cliff Millard, Pat Millard; and her sisters-in-law Gertrude Warnock, Norma Millard.

GUNDERSON - On July 1, 1948, in Leoville, SK, Gordon Gary Gunderson was born, the 3rd of 12 children born to Roy and Mildred Gunderson.
Gordon attended school to grade 3 in Timberlost (known as The Block). The family then moved to town for a cou-ple years before settling at the farm west of town. Gordon was a member of Big River Cadets and enjoyed his camp experience in Vernon, BC during one summer. Gordon furthered his education in Big River. Gordon married Gail Menard in January of 1969; they had 3 daughters: Tracey, Denise, & Melanie. After the birth of Denise, Gordon & Gail moved their little fam-ily to Pine Point, NWT where Gordon went to work at the mine. Melanie was born during their time in the North West Territories. In 1974, they returned to Big River and Gordon went to work driving log truck and gained experi-ence with various construction and logging companies as well as assorted business ventures with friends and family, which included trucking, dry-walling, and sporting goods. Gordon was sports oriented and loved playing hockey, broomball, fastball and slow pitch as well as coaching his daughters in ball and other sports teams. He was an ex-tremely talented self taught carpenter and enjoyed his time spent building homes and assorted construction projects, no matter how minor or how challenging – he accepted any project put in front of him and was never satisfi ed with anything less than perfect.
In October 1977, Gordon began seasonal work with the Department of Highways which led to a life long career. Gordon was a family man and worked hard to provide a good, stable and loving home for them.
In 1987 Gordon and Gail divorced. Gordon remained in Big River and continued working for the Department of Highways. On November 12, 1989, in Prince Albert, Derek Gordon was born to Gordon and Sherry. In 1990, Gordon and Sherry Gallant were married in Las Vegas, on his dad’s birthday, October 11. From 1997 to 2002 Gordon and Sherry spent numerous hours building their dream home. They loved spending every opportunity with their son. Gordon coached Derek throughout his years play-ing hockey and ball and a very special bond was formed. Gordon worked hard and played hard. He was meticulous, organized, a perfectionist, a charmer, and won the hearts of everyone who knew him.
In the fall of 2009, Gordon and Sherry separated and in the fall of 2010 Gordon was fortunate enough to take an early retirement. He bought and moved into his house on Main Street. In March of 2011, Gordon became very ill and was diagnosed with sugar diabetes. During the last year and a half Gordon spent his time doing what he enjoyed most – he was his own boss; he was in charge of his own schedule and did what he wanted, when he wanted. His illness was a challenge for him but as with everything else in his life, he was accepting of the challenge and met it head on. On November 10, Gordon reunited with his dad, mom, sister (Darlene) and brothers (Bernard & Dwayne). We will miss him immensely but we know he is healthy and at peace.
Funeral Service was held Thursday, November 15th, 2012 ~ 1:00 pm from the Big River Community Hall.
He leaves to cherish his memories: His children: Tracey Gunderson (Dan Bailey), Denise Gunderson (Stewart Ger-vais), Melanie (Larry) Milford, Derek Gunderson (Stepha-nie Bogner); 6 grand-children (Justin, Kristjan, Erika, Weston, Danielle & Cohen), 2 step-grandchildren (Rylan& Matthew) and numerous nieces and nephews who adored and admired him.The mothers of his children, Sherry and Gail, his siblings, Earl &Cec, Grace and Bud Forbes, Doug & Debbie, Geraldine & Stan Millikin, Norman & Jenny, Brenda & Kenny McKay, Judy & Marlow Pister, Bev Lind-skog& Kevin Huard, his sisters-in-law, Mary Ellen (Scott) Reed and Leslie Gunderson and many relatives and count-less friends. Memorial donations in Gordon’s name may be made to Big River Minor Sports Association or Canadian Diabetes Association or Royal Canadian Legion”. Email condolences to www.beaulacfuneralhome.com will be for-warded to the family. Delores Beaulac of Beau “Lac” Fu-neral Home entrusted with arrangements.

GAUDRY - In loving memory of Lorraine Jean Gaudry who was born Sept. 1, 1943 in Shellbrook, Sk. and passed away on November 1, 2012 in Prince Albert, SK. at the age of 69 years.
She was born and raised in Shellbrook until she was 13 years old and then moved with her parents to the west coast and remained there until the early 80’s.

Later she moved back to Sas-katchewan and opened a res-taurant in Spiritwood, “Mom’s Café”, which soon became a favorite eating spot for travel-lers and locals alike. She mar-ried in 1963 to Mickey Camp-bell and then later married Bob Gaudry. Together they had three children, Doug, Ken and Brenda. She loved them unconditionally. Michelle Higgins was like a daughter to Lorraine and they loved each
other very much. Everyone who knew Lorraine became a pre-cious friend. Along with her marvellous cooking skills, she was a passionate caregiver. She helped many people in Shellbrook, in Waskesui and in Arizona. When Lorraine’s own care needs arose many of her friends were involved, but most particularly her kids, Ken and Brenda were at the forefront as well as one of Lorraine’s special friends, Velma Ell.

The Shellbrook Elks are atop of the Fort Carlton Hockey League standings after adding another win to their tally Saturday night at home.
The Elks knocked off the Bruno T-Birds 8-6 in a battle of short benches. The Elks dressed 11 skaters to Bruno’s 12.
The fi rst period was a back and forth battle with the T-Birds drawing fi rst blood. Justin Magnuson scored the fi rst of his three goals on the night three minutes into the fi rst. The Elks drew even on a goal from Lyndon Leard with 8 minutes left to go but Magnuson’s second goal four minutes later regained the lead for the T-Birds.
Chris Thompson tied the game for the Elks with 1:02 left in the fi rst.
Magnuson opened the second period with a power play goal to give the T-Birds a 3-2 lead but the Elks soon found their rhythm during the second half of the period and took the lead and kept it.
Leigh Spencer, Josh Peterson, Leard and Ryan Gareau each scored through a four minute span to give the Elks a 6-3 lead.
The T-Birds battled back with a three goal third period but the Elks held them off to hang on for the win.
Lee Huber brought the score to 6-4 with a goal 3:34 into the third but a powerplay goal from Cody Belair two min-utes later restored the Elks’ three goal lead.
A pair of goals from Braydon Klimosko in the middle of the period brought the T-Birds within a goal but a goal from Hugh Hamilton with 2:51 left in the third shattered their hopes of a comeback.
The Elks’ Kelly Guard made 32 stops on 36 shots while the tandem of Lane Hildebrandt and Ryley Boeschen stopped 37 of 43 shots through three periods.
The Elks’ power play had a 25 per cent success rate scor-ing on 2 of 8 opportunities while the T-Birds scored 1 of 8 on the man advantage.
The Elks’ Aki Seitsonon took the league point scoring lead at 13 points with four assists on the night.
The Elks play a home and home series with the Prairie Outlaws next weekend. The travel to Waldheim to face the Outlaws Friday night at 8 p.m. before playing host Satur-day night with an 8 p.m. start.
Elks tops in FCHL
The 2011-12 Beaver Lakes Champion Shellbrook Silver-tips opened the 2012-13 season with a big win on home ice.
The defending league champions blew out Northwest Rebels 21-1 in their match-up Friday night.
Brendon Canaday and Nathaniel Martin lead the scoring with six points a piece.
Rebels goaltender Justin Story was swarmed facing 95 shots on the night while Silvertips goaltenders Brady Ja-cobs and Jory Segberg 42 shots combined, allowing just one goal.
The Silvertips next action is Friday November 30 when they host the Whitefi sh Flyers. The puck drops at 8:30.p.m.

SORENSEN, LloydFive years have passed since we said goodbye
There is a time to grieve, then move on,
Because dying is part of the cycle of life, it only happens once.
In closing the chapter of our life together,
Grandpa Lloyd with his humor was always very special. - Remembering and loving him forever, Lil and families.

MASON – In loving memory of Cliff Mason who passed away November 26, 1993.
We only have your memory, dear son
To remember our whole life through,
But the sweetness will linger forever,
As we treasure the image of you. - Loved always and never forgotten, Mom and Dad.
WILCOX – Kitch, died November 23, 1989.
The years have slipped us by.
The days grow no easier without you.
We miss you and love you. - Your children, Sha-ron, Pat, Brian and Colleen
STEN - In memory of Janice Sten, March 14, 1953 - No-vember 25, 2011.A year has passed since I lost my wonderful mother. I still wake up every morning thinking “I can’t believe you’re gone.” Loosing my parents has caused me a lot of pain and loneliness. My mom would call me everyday, sometimes
three or four times a day. No one cared for my new family as much as her. I don’t know if I am sad for my loss of a mother or my children’s loss of an amazing grandmother. Since my mom had MS and her mobility was weak she taught my 2 year old at the time to play and in-teract in a different way. Till this day she still wonders when grandma is coming back from the sky to play. (It breaks my heart!) Loos-ing a mother is like no other, she was the only one that I could tell every little feeling or secret to. Whenever I was feel-ing sorry for myself, she would give me
the sympathy I was looking for. I miss her so much; I know she is free of all pain and suffering from MS, which gives me some comfort. I still feel cheated in life for both my parents being taken away from me at a young age. I want to thank my family for all the comfort and support over the past year, without you I wouldn’t have made it through. The memory of my mom will live on forever through me and me as a mother to my children. You are very missed by all. We love you so much. - Your daughter, Dyan Nordquist
