Shellbrook ChronicleKalyn receives Kin Canada’s highest honour

Long time Kinsmen Paul Bourgeault and Grant Hladun present Dave Kalyn with a Life Member plaque on behalf of Kin Canada at a surprise event Saturday night at the Shellbrook Legion Hall.

Dave Kalyn, of Shellbrook, was awarded with the highest honour Kin Canada at a surprise event in his honour Saturday night at the Shellbrook Legion Hall.

Kalyn, a member of the Shellbrook Kins-men Club for the past 25 years was awarded a Kinsmen Life Membership at the event.

Unlike many “surprise” gatherings, Kalyn was completely blind sided, fi rst by the par-ty and then upon receiving the award.

“It meant the world. I’m still over-whelmed,” said Kalyn.

“I don’t know why I’m recognized because there have been so many guys that were a part of the club and accomplished a lot of great things.”

The sense of duty that brought him to the event Saturday night was part of what led his fellow Kin to nominate him for the award. He received a call, while entertain-ing company, to help tend bar at a Kinsmen event that was short of staff. He agreed to take a short shift to help his friends and fel-low Kinsmen out.

“How do you say no to those guys?” said Kalyn, during an interview following the event.

When he arrived, he was shocked to fi nd out that there was no need for bartenders and that the party was in fact for him.

The program, emceed by long time Kins-men members Grant Hladun and Paul Bourgeault, was kept light with the occa-sional verbal jab thrown Kalyn’s way while outlining his many accomplishments with the club.

Former Shellbrook lawyer Bob Lane, Q.C., has been appointed as a judge of the Provin-cial Court for La Ronge.

“The appointment of Judge Lane will enhance the judicial system in the north-ern part of our province,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “Judge Lane’s distinguished career, both as a prosecutor and defence lawyer provides him with a unique perspective in this new role.”

Judge Lane graduated from the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan in 1979 and was called to the Bar in 1980. In 1983, he became managing partner in the Bradley and Lane law fi rm in Shellbrook.

He left private practice in 2004 to join the Public Prosecutions Division of the Ministry of Justice as a Senior Crown Prosecutor, be-fore being appointed Regional Crown Pros-ecutor. Over the past 33 years, Judge Lane’s legal career has focused on criminal law in central and northern Saskatchewan. He has also participated in various types of civil litigation, including family law and munici-pal law. Throughout his career, he has been a member of the Saskatchewan Trial Law-yers Association and continues to take many courses in Continuing Legal Education. Judge Lane replaces Judge Felicia Daunt, who is transferring to the Provincial Court in Prince Albert.

The Shellbrook branch of the Royal Ca-nadian Legion is taking a different ap-proach to their annual wreath fund raiser for the Legion Poppy Fund.

Due to low membership and an ever shrinking number of able bodied mem-bers the club has opted to invite donors in rather than pound the pavement in search of donations.

Leading up Remembrance Day, the club usually hits the streets to sell the wreaths to be placed at the annual November 11 service.

This year the club will be hosting an open house at the Shellbrook Legion Hall October 27-28 where the public can go and

buy their wreaths and enjoy refreshments.Legion Vice President Henri Dagenais

said that the shift was necessary to make use of the volunteers they have while not overburdening them.

“We don’t have the personnel anymore. We don’t have the people. We just thought that for this year we would get the people to come to us,” said Dagenais, adding that this way people won’t feel pressured to buy one if they aren’t interested.

Funds raised through the sale of wreaths go to the Legion Poppy fund as well as funding prizes for the annual Remem-brance Day Poem, Poster and Essay Con-test.

Continued from page 1“Using his resources and

knowledge he was instru-mental in many projects both for the Kinsmen and other organizations,” said Hladun. listing the Kins-

men Park, Kinsmen Swim-ming Pool building, out-door rink and Legion Hall renovations as just a few of the projects that he was a part of.

To qualify for life mem-

bership a nominee must have been a member for 10 years. The nomination must be made by a commit-tee of three members, each having a minimum of seven years in with Kinsmen to be

submitted to KinCanada. A club can only present

one life membership ev-ery two years. Kalyn’s was the fi rst for the Shellbrook Club.

Long time Kinsmen, Rob-ert Chuback spearheaded the movement to make Ka-lyn Shellbrook’s fi rst Life Member. He, along with Bourgeault and Hladun compiled the application for the award which was ul-timately approved by Kin-Canada.

As co-owner of E&B Lum-ber he not only contributed his time to projects but was also able to drastically re-duce costs through price reductions and outright do-nation of materials.

Through the years, Kalyn has fi lled roles as club vice president, treasurer, bul-letin editor, secretary and director.

One of the larger achieve-ments during Kalyn’s ten-ure was sticking it out when the club was down to just three members.

He said there were thoughts of disbanding or joining the now defunct Elks Lodge but new mem-bers came along and reju-venated club and its exist-

ing membership.Today the club has 10

members on its roster. Kalyn attended his fi rst

meeting January 14, 1987 at the recommendation of a then member Bruce Moe and was hooked on “serv-ing the community’s great-est need” ever since.

“I thought it was just awesome,” said Kalyn.

He found himself in his element and enjoyed the camaraderie as a newcomer to town.

The national club former-ly had a rule that Kinsmen

would graduate out of their respective clubs at 40 years of age. The rule was eventu-ally eliminated after clubs across the country saw se-rious decline.

Kin Zone D Deputy Gov-ernor Sharleen Montague was also on hand to bring greetings on behalf of Kin Governor Sandi Barrie.

The evening was rounded out by a slides how of Ka-lyn’s Kinsmen career, com-piled by his daughter Kelsey Kalyn, and a banquet spon-sored by the Shellbrook Kinsmen Club.

Our government estab-lished National Seniors Day in 2010 to recognize the contributions made by se-niors in their communities, workplaces and in society itself. We celebrate Nation-al Seniors Day on October 1st of each year. October is also Seniors’ Month in Sas-katchewan.

“The Government of Can-ada is proud to pay tribute to seniors on this day and is committed to supporting their well-being,” said the Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors), “We believe the well-be-ing of seniors depends on their staying active, stay-ing engaged and staying in-formed.”

Though our government is proud to have created and supported National Seniors Day, please be as-sured that we realize that a day celebrating the con-tributions of our seniors is no substitute for concrete and positive action in sup-port of seniors. That is why we have been very active in supporting seniors through a number of initiatives.

These initiatives include

the Guaranteed Income Supplement top-up benefi t which helps Canada’s most vulnerable citizens. The GIS improves the fi nancial security and well-being of more than 680,000 seniors across Canada.

By increasing funding to the New Horizons for Seniors Programs we en-courage the placement of seniors in leadership and guidance roles, and com-munities benefi t from the knowledge base held by seniors. The New Horizons for Seniors Program also-

encourages volunteerism and creates awareness of el-der abuse – physical, men-tal and fi nancial.

Seniors have benefi tted from $2.5 billion in extra tax relief this year alone through measures such as pension-income splitting and increasing the Age Credit.

$400 million has been al-located, over the next two years, to the construction of housing for seniors, provid-ing suitable accommoda-tion for low-income seniors.

Our government values what seniors have done for our country. I hope that you will fi nd a way to honour the seniors in your life and your community.

As always, I look forward to your letters, e-mails and calls. Write me at: Rob Clarke MP, House of Com-mons, 502 Justice Building, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A6. I hope you will fi nd time to visit my website http://www.robclarkemp.ca

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com October 5, 2012

Saskatchewan's recently announced hike in mini-mum wage has far more to do with perception than it does with putting more money into the hands of low income earners.

With news of Alberta's minimum wage sliding out of last place past Saskatchewan's last month the NDP hit

the media with calls for the Sask Party government to increase minimum wage and index it with the cost of living.

The Sask Party responded with an increase from $9.50 to $10 hourly. Who wants to be in last place for anything, right?

With the move, set to take place December 1, Saskatch-ewan moved passed Alberta and Quebec at $9.75 and $9.90, re-spectively, while Nunavut sits at the top of the heap at $11.

Though this is feel good news for some, it mostly amounts to window dressing and a gag. It looks good to the general public while quieting the NDP on this

particular topic.The reality is that the bulk of minimum wage earn-

ers in the province aren't trying to feed their families but are simply trying to earn enough money to pay for a car.

If they want to help out adults earning minimum wage, give them further tax credits. Saskatchewan has one of the highest personal exemptions in the country at $14,942, meaning that residents don't pay provincial

income tax on the fi rst $14,942 they earn. That fi gure could be higher if it were really meant to help low income earners make a better life for themselves. At the new minimum wage, a full time salary equates to $20,800. Hav-ing a higher threshold sounds better than paying more while workers pay more taxes.

Meanwhile, employers that pay anywhere close to minimum wage will see their staffi ng costs increase by 5 per cent December 1. The increase will arguably put upward pressure on all hourly wages, resulting in increased costs on all consumer goods. A further tax break would have been further reaching and more effective without causing any undue hardship to business.

A two tiered approach is em-ployed in other provinces to en-sure that employers aren't over

burdened with wages while hiring high school stu-dents. In Ontario, minimum wage is $10.25, however that is lowered to $9.60 for students under 18 work-ing 28 hours or less a week. Minimum wage for liquor servers is $8.90, due to their ability to earn gratuities.

In the end, the market will always dictate the rise and fall of salaries without government intervention. When there is a shortage of labour, which we appar-ently have in this province, wages have to rise in order to attract qualifi ed workers. The government made a reactive decision that will have more of an effect on kids earning bumming around money than it will for workers trying to put food on the table for their fami-lies.

Minimum wage all sizzle and

Consumer spending up in Saskatchewan

BRAD

DUPUIS

~News

Editor

Saskatchewan consumers increased their spending for the sixth consecutive month in July.

The last monthly update on the performance of the retail sector in this province underscores the strength of the economy and the impact an ever-growing population can have on consumer spending. On an annual basis, July’s results were more than 9 per cent higher than the same month a year ago.

That is the second highest increase in the na-tion – just a tenth of a point behind Alberta – and roughly three times the increase seen across Canada.

This particular report came out on the same day another study showed that more than half of Canadians treated themselves by buying something just to feel good. The idea of spending on yourself to lift your spirits is nothing new but this is the fi rst time it’s been quantifi ed with fully 60 per cent saying they use a retail purchase as a pick-me-up.

But that kind of spending is not enough to account for the sizeable increase in Saskatchewan’s consumer market which has expanded 12 out of the last 13 years and is now approaching $1.5 billion a month.

* * *A lot of people seem to be ignoring that advice their moth-

er gave them about getting an education so they could get a good job. Instead, more and more of us are starting our own businesses.

A new report from CIBC says the next decade will see an unprecedented explosion in the number of people starting their own businesses and becoming their own bosses. But the trend has already become evident with the largest per-centage of new start-ups being launched by people over 50 years of age.

According to the CIBC study, the decision to start a business is one of personal choice with only one-in-five taking this route because they couldn’t find employment.

For many of these new businesses, the world is their oyster with half the revenues of com-panies under five years old originating in ex-port markets. The study also determined that these small businesses co-exist quite nicely with large companies which are increasingly turning to out-sourcing to smaller enterprises which are more nimble and, generally, more specialized.

* * *This is good news for the hundreds – if not

thousands - of Saskatchewan residents who have capital-ized on the strong Canadian dollar and low real estate prices in the American sunbelt where you’re as likely to see a someone in the mall wearing a Riders jersey as one from the San Diego Chargers.

It used to be that Snowbirds were the only Prairie resi-dents who could be found in places like Arizona or Cali-fornia in the winter time. But the past few years have seen many more locals acquire cheap winter getaway proper-ties in the US. In many places, they were the only ones buying properties that were distressed in the wake of the toxic mortgage mess.

And it turns out their investment may be paying off. A new report issued by the economics branch of Bank

of Montreal and its US subsidiary Harris Bank says US real estate prices have begun to rebound. This is espe-cially true in the sun belt where excess inventory has been depleted. In large measure this is because of the influence of Canadian buyers.

The government

made a reactive

decision that will have more of an effect on kids saving money for

their first car than it will for workers trying to put food on

the table.

This “contraption” as we affectionately referred to it was called a snow plane. It was used by Dr. Harry Coffyne and the RCMP to get to places they could not get to with vehicles. It is not known if Dr. Coffyne got it from somewhere or if the people in town got together and built it for him. My father (Bert Loth) drove it in the winter of 1942 and had the greatest respect for Dr. Coffyne , who would never refuse a call and would go no matter what time it was or how bad the weather. They had a close call one night when they almost had to deliver a baby, but made it to the hospital with 10 minutes to spare. Dad joined the army in 1943 and I am not sure what they did after that ,but he always talked proudly about some of the trips they had with the snow plane. Submitted by Anita Canaday-Loth

YESTERYEAR~

The problem with the notion that a certain party will always represents your concerns is, that certain party eventually winds up as your government.

And when it does, there will be a time when that party’s commitment to representing your interest runs into the unpleasantness of eco-nomic choices and bureaucracy.

This seems to be what’s happening to those rural Saskatchewan residents who are now un-happy with the Sask. Party government’s han-dling of changes to Internet delivery.

For years in opposition, the Sask. Party ar-gued that NDP governments closed hospitals and allowed roads to deteriorate had aban-doned rural Saskatchewan.

And to the Sask. Party’s credit, it has addressed many serious rural issues – not the least of which is the educa-tion tax on agriculture land.

But given the mantra of Sask. Party MLAs that they would never neglect rural concerns like the NDP did, the rightful expectations of rural residents was that every concern would be properly addressed.

Well, when it comes to the issue of high-speed Internet provided by SaskTel to rural residents – especially rural residents in Saskatchewan’s southeast corner – it’s rather questionable whether the 30 rural government MLAs are being any more effective at addressing the issue than the previous NDP government’s city MLAs.

At issue is a broadband network so obsolete that Sask-Tel is now struggling to fi nd parts for it and a decision by federal Industry Canada to take away broadband with.

In fairness to SaskTel, it is trying to fi nd alternative so-lutions to rural customers by switching to Explornet sat-ellite service and offering customers a “4G mobile stick” to address the problem.

But it also seems obvious that SaskTel sees this as a mi-nor issue that affects only 8,000 of its 268,000 Internet customers _ an issue that it doesn’t seem to seem to be a high priority.

That is a huge source of frustration for those rural Internet customers affected _ especially given their ex-

pectation that their rural government MLAs should be able address such concerns.

But as it stands right now, many custom-ers affected by what SaskTel’s change say they don’t feel they getting any better service than under the NDP government.

“I feel that SaskTel is saying: ‘well, it’s just rural Saskatchewan. They’ll get over it’,” said one woman who did not want to identifi ed because of business concerns in a part of the province where it’s still not fashionable to crit-icize the government.

The woman explained that her farm and neighbouring community are outside the Ex-plornet satellite footprint and that a stick, isn’t exactly a great solution because Ipads and

most smart phones don’t have USB ports.Of course, private suppliers like YourLink seem some-

what interested in fi lling the void, but it’s not economi-cally for them to put up towers and they don’t have access to SaskTel’s cell towers.

More bothersome to the woman is the lack of under-standing by SaskTel, government and the province as a whole that quality Internet service is vital to farm and rural businesses.

“We don’t want Internet to check out Facebook ac-counts,” the woman said, noting that decent bandwidth is critical for online business like farm auctions to Skyp-ing clients. “We need it for our businesses.”

Worse yet, the potential of limiting rural customers to eight gigabytes a month (roughly what would be needed to download two or three HD movies) is severely limiting to rural business.

But even those who might not need that much Internet capacity for business reason have a fairly good argument that they should have access to the same amenities as their city cousins.

Or at least, they were led to believe that such matters would be less of an issue under a Saskatchewan Party government. SaskTel’s handling of rural Internet seems to be telling them something else.

Editor:I read, ‘Internet woes loud wake-up call’, by Murray Man-

dryk, TheStarPhoenix September 26, 2012. (http://www.thestarphoenix.com/news/Internet+woes+loud+wake+call/7299617/story.html)

Murray Mandryk did an excellent job of depicting the Sask Party govt.’s behavior which obviously discriminates against our rural life style and culture. As early as June , 2009 we saw then Justice Minister Don Morgan promis-ing the Harper govt. that Sask. will “accept a (gun owner) licensing regime” contained within the much hated Liberals’ Bill C-68.

(1) This step was in stark contrast to previous Sask govts. “who opted out of the administration of the program alto-gether.” These former governments felt, “if we did not take action on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan who have ex-pressed concerns about the Bill, we would be avoiding our responsibilities.”

(2) Rural folks hoped that fair minded urban dwellers,like Mr. Morgan and Premier Wall, would join with them in op-position to Bill C-68. Before being elected, they seemed to understand the problems it caused rural residents. After the vote, they fail to care about how intrusive, abusive and inva-sive the process of forcing gun owners to license is and that it makes the mere possession of a fi rearm by responsible Ca-nadians illegal. In addition, there is Premier Wall’s refusal to place a much needed new bridge at Prince Albert, the gateway to the resource laden North and rural heartland. Instead, he opted for a taxpayer funded football stadium in Regina. Yet, our many rural Sask Party MLAs remain silent about this while their leader and his small ruling coalition governs to garner public approval ratings and more votes. Rural folks expect better governance than this.

Rural Sask overlooked by Sask Party government

Dear editor,Canadians are feeling the pinch. Families are earning less

and infl ation is increasing the cost of everyday essentials. Students are grappling with rising tuition rates and have fewer opportunities for employment when they graduate. Youth unemployment is at a historic high and student em-ployment is at record lows.

As Canadians adjust to these economic realities, our debt-to-income ratio has grown to 152%, much higher than the United States, and entire generations of Canadians have little or no savings.

Most of us recognize that income inequality is a growing issue that is at the heart of these challenges. That is why the Liberal Party held a debate in Parliament on addressing in-come inequality and put forward several practical steps we can take immediately to reduce it. Specifi cally, we are call-ing on the government to:

Income inequality growing

Your Saskatchewan Party govern-ment continues working toward keep-ing another important promise we made during last year’s election cam-paign: reducing surgical wait times. We learned this week seven out of 10 health regions are within fi ve per-cent of reaching the goal of reducing wait times for surgery to less than six months. They are:

• Heartland 100 per cent;• Cypress/Sunrise 99 per cent;• Prairie North/Five Hills 98 per cent;• Sun Country 97 per cent;• Prince Albert Parkland 95 per cent;• Kelsey Trail/Saskatoon 90 per

cent; and• Regina Qu’Appelle 81 per centSince 2007, the number of people waiting more than a

year for surgery is down 92 per cent and the number waiting more than six months has dropped 58 per cent. Our gov-ernment remains committed to reducing the amount of time

for everyone waiting for surgery to no more than three months by the end of 2014. For more information on the Saskatchewan Surgical initiative, go to

http://www.health.gov.sk.ca/surgi-cal-initiative; for wait time data and other patient information go to http://www.sasksurgery.ca.

You can see the benefi ts of the Sas-katchewan Advantage everywhere these days. For example, because of the advantage created by your hard work, our government has been able to expand the Discounted Bus Program to North Battleford. It was already available in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Yorkton and Swift Current. How does it work? Well, the province pays participating cities a $24.50 subsidy for ev-ery bus pass sold each month; the city then reduces the cost of those bus passes for people with low incomes. This year alone, we are investing $2 million in the program. The

Saskatchewan Advantage is about more than just dollars and cents – it is also about supporting society’s most vul-nerable people through programs such as this.

Throughout our province volunteer groups play an im-portant role. This year, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority is supporting the great work of these organizations by providing approximately $2.1 million in charitable gaming grants.These grants will support the work of over 1,000 volunteer groups and organizations from across the province. This program provides a grant equal to 25 per cent of the net revenues raised through charitable gaming activities. By working together we will maintain the Saskatchewan Advantage. There is no greater commitment to your country than to serve in the Armed Forces. To honour the sacrifi ces these heroic men and women have made, SGI is issuing veteran plates for mo-torcycles and snowmobiles. This is a great way for those who have served to take pride in their commitment to the people of the Canada, while enjoying the sports they love. For more information on who qualifi es for veterans plates please contact SGI at www.sgi.sk.ca.

In order to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and to show appreciation for the hard work of the Canwood Community Pride and Heritage Committee, coffee row was moved across the street to the park on the morning of September 27, 2012. That afternoon, residents of Whispering Pine Place also came down for “coffee in the park” day. The Canwood Community Pride and Heritage Committee paid for coffee from the Canwood Cafe for anyone, providing they had it in the park.

Continued from page 5* roll back their recent Employment Insurance Pre-

mium hike;* end their punitive new claw-back of Employment In-

surance benefits;* make tax credits refundable so that low-income Ca-

nadians are not excluded;* adapt the Registered Disability Savings Plan for suf-

ferers of chronic diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis; and

* remove federal interest charges from student loans.What we are asking the government to do is to first

of all recognize that this is a problem, not continue to dismiss it.

Income inequality is a key issue for Canada. We can-not assume that prosperity will be fairly shared and we cannot take prosperity itself for granted. We have to avoid the mistakes of the extreme right and the extreme left and we have to come up with practical proposals that will make a difference to ordinary people and en-sure that our prosperity is fairly, deeply and widely shared.

Shared prosperity is what we strive for as a country and ensuring equality of opportunity for all Canadians is at the core of what it means to be a Liberal.

Yours sincerely,Bob RaeLeader of the Liberal Party of Canada

Feed costs put future of hog industry in doubtHow often of late have we heard the comment some-

where that 'everything is better with bacon'.The more pressing question might be whether we will

be able to afford bacon in the future?That might sound like a stretch, but the pork industry

at present is under duress.Big Sky Pork in Saskatchewan went through bankrupt-

cy in the past, and it took a deal which saw many credi-tors, including farmers who sold grain to the large pork producer taking less than owed, to keep the barns open.

The bail-out in 2009 was enough to keep Big Sky afloat, but it appears that help wasn't enough and Big Sky is once again in trouble financially.

Big Sky is deep in red ink. The company is said to be in debt to the tune of about $75 million.

So now Big Sky will go up for sale if the court approves.

With 400 employees, and the ma-jority of Saskatchewan's pork pro-duction what becomes of the com-pany will have a great deal to do with whether pigs remain anything but a hobby aspect of farming in this prov-ince.

This time Big Sky is not alone.Puratone, a major producer in

Manitoba, announced recently it seeks court protection from credi-tors under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act.

The straw to break the industry's back is the current high grain prices,

which stands to reason given that feed costs are the larg-

est single input cost in producing pork.This fall has certainly seen grain prices jump. Poor corn crops in the United States, and the new de-

mand of ethanol production is squeezing corn going to livestock.

Barley crops in Canada haven't exactly been bumper ei-ther, and that means higher feed prices here too.

The question is whether you believe grain prices are likely to decline enough over the long term to make large-scale pig barns viable.

It seems rather unlikely given current trends and the new biofuel initiatives.

So the question then becomes how does pork produc-tion find profitability in a world of higher grain prices?

The answer is not easy but will be essential if we are to enjoy affordable bacon in the future.

BY LEROY BADERDeveloping and imple-

menting a sound mar-keting plan is a key step in helping you make profitable marketing decisions. While it will not guarantee that you always sell a commod-ity at the top price, it will help you to manage price risk and improve your market returns.

Grain and oilseed pro-ducers have many mar-keting choices available to them.

These choices include what to grow, and how and where to sell their production through a wide array of pricing and delivery alterna-tives.

Evaluation of these alternatives, as well as the existing market trends and market sig-nals is required in or-der to make sound mar-keting decisions. The planning process does require a significant commitment but can re-

sult in greater returns from your farm produc-tion.

A sound market-ing plan should have a number of goals includ-ing:

• Choosing crops that you believe have the greatest income po-tential.

• Pricing and marketing your grains according to a predeter-mined plan that consid-ers:

(i) P r o d u c t i o n costs,

(ii) The current market trends and

(iii) Your cash f low requirements.

• Reducing your risk of price erosion from falling market prices.

• Reducing your marketing costs by tim-ing grain sales when ba-sis levels are low and

• Managing your grain storage and de-livery options to maxi-mize returns

A comprehensive marketing plan does require some knowl-edge of how the fu-tures market operates. You should be aware of the risks involved in futures trading and, if needed, enroll in a training program.

Sticking with a pre-set marketing plan in a disciplined way is a critical part of being successful. By staying in constant touch with the market you will en-sure that you have the information needed to take advantage of price rallies. Keep in mind the marketing plan should also be re-viewed and revised on a regular basis as supply and demand conditions change.

The Farm Business Development Initiative through the Ministry of Agriculture can assist you in developing your marketing plan through printed resources and

funding assistance for training or consulting services.

The initiative focuses on adopting or improv-ing progressive man-agement practices in nine key areas of farm business management. Farmers have success-fully used the program to assist with training and consulting in key areas such as succession planning, marketing, production econom-ics, financial planning and strategic planning. Other eligible areas in-clude human resources, business structure, en-vironmental strategies and risk assessment.

Contact your nearest Ministry of Agricul-ture Regional office or Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377 for more informa-tion, and to apply for the Farm Business De-velopment initiative as well as other programs and services.

Minimum wage going up The minimum wage in

Saskatchewan will increase to $10.00 per hour on Decem-ber 1, 2012, an increase from the current minimum wage of $9.50 per hour. The move follows a commitment by the Government of Saskatch-ewan to review the hourly minimum wage on a year-to-year basis.

The change also results in a corresponding increase to the minimum call-out pay to $30.00.

“The contributions of Sas-katchewan’s working popu-lation are essential to ongo-ing economic growth and prosperity in the province,”

Labour Relations and Work-place Safety Minister Don Morgan said. “This increase in minimum wage, together with the signifi cant tax re-ductions our government has provided to low income earn-ers, means that Saskatchewan will have one of the highest rates of take-home pay in Canada for minimum wage earners.”

The increase is part of an overall review of labour re-lations and workplace safety legislation currently under-way. Morgan said the gov-ernment is still actively con-sidering indexing minimum wage as part of that review,

but wanted to announce the 50 cent per hour increase now to give employers ample time to prepare for the December 1 implementation date.

“Since taking offi ce, our government has increased minimum wage from $7.95 to $10.00 an hour,” Morgan said. “That’s an increase of nearly 26 per cent in fi ve years - well ahead of the rate of infl ation.”

Public consultations on the issue indicated signifi cant support for an increase to the minimum wage. The Min-ister’s Advisory Committee on labour legislation review overwhelmingly supported an increase.

Consumers advised to take precautions due to beef recall

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health is reminding consum-ers to use safe beef handling and cooking practises, in the wake of the recent recall of Alberta beef products by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The Ministry of Health is aware of 13 reported cases of E.coli infection in Saskatchewan in September; the usual number of cases in that month ranges from zero to four. Public health authorities are investigating these cases and conducting tests to determine whether they are linked to the recall. Laboratory results are expected within the next few days.

“People can reduce their risk of E.coli infection by taking very simple, common sense steps,” Chief Medical Health Of-fi cer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Consumers should be vigilant about thorough hand washing when handling or preparing food, and ensure that all meat is cooked thoroughly.”

Symptoms of E.coli infection include severe abdominal pain, watery or bloody diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, headaches but little or no fever. Symptoms usually appear within three to four days but can occur up to ten days later and last fi ve to ten days. People most at risk of developing serious complications from E.coli are pregnant women, people with compromised im-mune systems, young children and the elderly. Residents with prolonged symptoms should visit their doctor or an emergency department.

Dr. Shahab says people should be aware that restaurant meals as well as home-cooked food could be a potential source of E.coli if food is not handled safely. Restaurant employees and individuals involved with preparing meals for the public are advised to stay home if they are ill and seek medical advice if symptoms are severe.

The Public Health Agency of Canada, Health Canada, CFIA and provincial health ministries continue to monitor the situ-ation, in collaboration with health regions. Meat products cov-ered by the recall should either be returned to the location of purchase or discarded.

Members of the public who have health-related questions can call HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002 or visit www.health-lineonline.ca.

Updated information on the beef product recall is available at http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/consumer-centre/food-safety-investigations/xl-foods/eng/1347937722467/1347937818275.

BY: CASSIE BENDIGThanksgiving is already here! A beautiful long weekend is

approaching and then the busy rink schedules begin. Minor Ice Hockey 3 on 3 will begin on Tuesday October 9th. If you have not heard by Monday the 8th on your exact schedule, please contact Sheldon Moe (747-7905). Regular minor hockey practices begin on October 15th. You can fi nd the rec center schedule on our website at www.shellbrook.net/calendar.asp.

Skate club begins on October 10th at 3:30 and Power skating starts on October 12th at 6:30 and for 9 more weeks after that. Again you can fi nd the schedule on the town website.

There is a SHA Skills of Gold Hockey Camp being hosted here in Shellbrook on November 10 and 11. If interested, you can register online at www.sha.sk.ca. The cost is $125 and if you as a parent are interested in taking the free coaching clinic, it will start on Friday, November 9th.

The federal government had released a grant called the Com-munity Rink Affordability Grant. This grant offers $2500 for each ice surface in every facility. I have registered both the skating and curling rink and received money for both. Thank you to the Government of Saskatchewan for allocating some of this money to our facility.

Fitness with Leeta began this week. It is never too late to start. Leeta’s classes will be every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30-8:30pm in the Elementary School. The costs are either $5 drop in or 12 passes for $50 (2 free classes). Please show up slightly before 7:30 if you are new to the group as there is a PAR-Q to sign. If you are curious on what a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is, go to www.csep.ca.

Don’t forget that Shellbrook Recreation is on Facebook! Add the profi le and do not miss another announcement of some-

thing coming up in or around Shellbrook. Weekly Health Tip: Cold and fl u season is on its way… if not

already here. You heard it growing up and your kids hear it in school; wash your hands frequently with warm water and soap. Any transfer of mucus, spit or even sweat can pass on a cold. So washing your hands and avoiding touching your face can really help you to avoid that bug. Also, if your child is sick, keep them at home. Not only will they get better sooner, they will also have less of a chance of passing on whatever they have caught.

Have a great week!Cassie BendigShellbrook Recreation Directoroffi ce – 747-4949cell – 747-9098email – shellbrookrecdirector@sasktel.net

Shellbrook Elementary walk-a-thon raises $13,000

Students from Shellbrook Elementary Public School got in some physical activity and raised some money for a good cause with their annual walk-a-thon.

The school raised more than $13,000 which will go to-ward a variety of school projects.

Though each of the students were rewarded for their ef-forts their fund raising fell a little bit short of what was needed to cause some discomfort to the school staff.

A series of unique incentives were worked into the pro-

gram for overall pledge collection of over $15,000. Pledges of $15,000 would have caused Tournier to wear a dress to school while $17,500 in pledges would have caused Educa-tional Associate Brenda Cromartie to get a make over. More than $20,000 in pledges would have caused the entire staff to camp out on the roof of the school for a night.

In the past, the Shellbrook Elementary School Communi-ty Council had the long term goal of providing a SmartBoard for each class room in the school. Now the council has com-

mitted to the long term goal of providing an outdoor learn-ing environment for the pre-kindergarten program so some of the funds raised from the walk-a-thon will be going to-ward that. The top three fund raisers were Jacob Feige, Dar-la Bruneau and Emmersyn Nahorniak. Feige also won the two Westjet travel vouchers donated by Westjet.

Every class room raised more than $1,000 which means they receive either a pizza party or an ice cream party.

Anyone interested in get-ting the fl u shot will be able to access the infl uenza vac-cine starting Tuesday, Octo-ber 9, 2012, with 75 clinics offered in locations through-out the Prince Albert Park-land Health Region until the end of November.

“Being vaccinated is one

of the most important steps individuals can take to pro-tect themselves against in-fl uenza,” said Dr. Khami Chokani, Prince Albert Parkland’s Medical Health Offi cer. “Don’t be left on the sidelines – get your fl u shot to help protect yourself, your family and your community.”

The main Public Health drop-in clinic in Prince Albert is changing loca-tions. Starting Oct. 9th, the clinic will be operating at the South Hill Mall, next to the Deals Plus store. It will operate from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m, from Monday to Satur-day until October 27th.

There will be additional drop-in clinics at the South Hill Mall location through the rest of October and No-vember. In addition to this and other sites in Prince Albert, there will be clin-ics held in Big River, Birch Hills, Blaine Lake, Candle Lake, Canwood, Chitek Lake, Christopher Lake, Debden, Hafford, Kinistino, Leask, Leoville, MacDowall, Marcelin, Mayfair, Med-stead, Paddockwood, Rab-bit Lake, Shellbrook, Shell Lake, Speers, Spiritwood, St. Louis, Weirdale, and Weldon

Colourful presentation

12101MC02

The Shellbrook and District Chamber of Commerce brought speaker George Boelcke and his Colorful Personalities presentation to Shellbrook in place of a September meeting September 26. Boelcke facilitates seminars through out North America and Europe on personality types and is the author of a series of personality type books including Colorful Personalities. Through the seminar, participants assessed their own personality traits, categorized themselves into one of the colour groups and learned how they relate to others. Regular Cham-ber luncheon meetings resume in October.

Motorists are reminded to stay alert for potential highway construction as the Thanksgiving long weekend approaches.

“It’s important to en-sure the people working to build and preserve our transportation network are protected,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. “When approaching any highway construction or activities, be cautious, alert, obey fl ag persons and slow to 60 km per hour when pass-ing highway workers and equipment.”

New construction activity highlighted for this update period includes a culvert installation under Highway 1 near Wapella, bridge work on Highway 4 near Meadow Lake, work on Highway 6 south of Ceylon, paving on Highway 13 near Arcola, re-paving on Highway 40 near Shellbrook, surface repairs on Highway 202 near Tux-ford and sealing on High-way 312 between Rosthern and Wakaw.

The weekly provincial highway construction up-

date is posted to the High-way Hotline Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Sas-katchewanHighwayHotline and tweeted @SKGovH-wyHotline.

Various 2012 construc-tion season project photos can be found at www.high-ways.gov.sk.ca/construc-tionseason2012. Video of some construction activi-ties can also be found on the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure’s You-Tube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/SKGov-Highways.

Additional travel infor-mation about emergency road closures, the status

G Shellbrook Grandmoth-ers for Grandmothers mem-ber Nancy Carswell attend-ed the 2nd Biennial Prairie Region Gathering held in Regina on September 28 and 29. The event exceeded its promise of learning, net-working, and fun.

The Grandmothers Cam-paign is an initiative of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). Through the Cam-paign, Canadian Grand-mothers and Grandmothers stand in solidarity with Af-rican grandmothers who are raising children orphaned by AIDS.

SLF Grandmothers Cam-paign Coordinator Zahra Mohamed spoke of being approached by other coun-tries in the hopes of replicat-ing the uniquely Canadian

Grandmothers Campaign model because of its phe-nomenal success.

Carswell was challenged to pre-select from all the concurrent sessions. She was thrilled that Gail Bow-en, a Saskatchewan author, was presenter for Story-telling 101. Carswell said, “While I will use Gail’s sto-rytelling suggestions, I will best remember her belief that the biggest lottery we ever win is where we are born. Both political borders and race are human-made constructs that create walls where only humanity should exist. Storytelling is a pow-erful way to displace walls with compassion.”

Also at the conference, Carswell heard from Grand-mothers Advocacy Network

(GRAN) co-chair Marilyn Coolen. GRAN is distinct from the SLF and is cur-rently lobbying for urgently needed reforms to Canada’s Access to Medicine’s Regime (CAMR). On November 1, GRAN is coordinating a Na-tional Hilltop Campaign to send the message to Parlia-ment Hill to pass Bill C-398, a humanitarian bill de-signed to streamline CAMR so it will work as intended and make affordable generic versions of essential medi-cines available to the world’s poor.

Shellbrook Grandmothers for Grandmothers welcomes new members—grandmoth-ers and grandmothers. If interested or if you have questions, please contact Pat Grayston at 747-3330.

Hildegard Butz has served the Canwood Pub-lic Library for thirty-five years.

Her efforts were appre-ciated when it came to various changes over the years with books, com-puters and activities with children and adults.

During a supper on September 21 at Can-wood Cafe cards were presented with good wishes from the Library Board, the Village and the RM of Canwood. She

loved the bouquet of fall f lowers.

A job well done Hilde-

gard. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Heart pushing Riders toward playoffs

Two things are evident in this sorry mess that is the National Hockey League’s lockout of its players.

1. As far as fi nances go, you don't have to feel sorry for either side; and 2. The vast majority of fans are sick and tired of hearing about negotiations, preferring the “call me when it’s over” ap-proach.

This whole squabble is about splitting revenues. Be-fore the Players’ Association contract with the owners expired Sept. 15, players had been receiving 57 per cent of revenues. The owners thought that was too much, considering that revenues in the last couple of years have ballooned to $3.3 million.

So the owners offered the players 43 per cent, know-ing full well it would spark a revolt, which it did. But it was merely a starting point in negotiations.

Eventually, the two sides will settle. Everybody knows that.

Neither the owners, nor the players, want to see rev-enues go down to near zero, which is what will happen if no hockey is played.

No tickets will be sold, no parking stalls will be fi lled, no hot dogs will be eaten or beer consumed, no television contracts will be honoured. Some revenue will still fl ow in from sales of NHL merchandise be-cause, after all, Christmas is Christmas.

But don't feel sorry for the players if they fi nally settle for 47 per cent, or 48 per

cent, and the owners glee-fully walk away with 50-per-cent-plus of the revenues. While the players deserve to be handsomely paid, con-sidering they are among the best 600 of their craft in the entire world, they make enormous amounts of mon-ey, astronomically in excess of an average Joe or Jane.

The average NHL player last year made $2.4 million. The average well-paid Ca-nadian working in an offi ce or a factory might pull in $40,000 or $50,000. Some managers might make in the $80,000 to $100,000 range.

So the Canadian who has made $40,000 for most of his adult life would have to work for 60 years at that rate to accumulate $2.4 million, the average one-year NHL salary. The stars, who make $5 and $6 million per year, or more, might be asked to play 19 to 22 minutes per game.

But an ordinary Canadian would have to work for 100 years at $50,000 a year to make $5 million.

So don't feel sorry for the players if they end up the ‘losers’ in this NHL fi ght. Millions of Canadians would love to ‘lose’ like that.

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “Elisha Cuth-bert, newly engaged to Dion Phaneuf, said the hard part about dating the Leafs' blue-liner is worrying he'll get hurt when he plays. Oh well, at least she can relax during the playoffs.”

• A fi nal couple of ‘re-placement’ ref quips before

we forget about those three weeks the NFL would rather forget:

— Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Twit-ter: “Got a replacement mechanic at Jiffy Lube last week. After changing the oil, they went under the hood, and, incredibly, changed it back.”

— Somebody named Uncle Dynamite (@UncleDyna-mite) on Twitter: “Belichick Shoots Replacement Ref In Parking Lot After Game, Tells Police His Actions Are 'Not Reviewable.”

— Justin Snyder (@Justin-

Snyder) on Twitter after the bizarre fi nish to the Monday night game between Green Bay and Seattle: “Seahawks QB Russell Wilson becomes fi rst NFL QB to throw game winning interception.

— Late night TV funny-man Conan O’Brien: “Green Bay Packers fans are furi-ous after a controversial call robbed the Packers of a vic-tory. Some are calling it the worst call in NFL history, or at least since the Black Eyed Peas were invited to play the Super Bowl.”

— Among the signs you're a bad referee, from CBS's David Letterman: “Missed last three calls because beer vendor was slow giving you change.”

— New York Giants line-backer Mathias Kiawanuka, to Newsday, on life with NFL replacement refs: "I haven't been held this much since I was a baby."

• And even though we have no hockey these days, we still have the Leafs to joke about. R.J. Currie reports that “June Blythe, 65, has regained her sense of smell

after losing it in 1975. Blythe says she remembered the scent of fl owers and that the Toronto Maple Leafs stink.”

• Greg Cote, Miami Herald: “Stanley C. Panther was laid off because of the NHL lock-out. Is there any sight sadder than a fully costumed mas-cot at an intersection wash-ing windshields?”

• A classic from The Great-est, Muhammad Ali: “If you even dream of beating me, you’d better wake up and apologize.”

• Brad Dickson of the Oma-ha World Herald, on Nebras-ka's 73-7 football win: “Idaho State coaches chose to focus on the things that went right on Saturday. Well, they won the opening coin fl ip.”

• NBC’s Jimmy Fallon:

“A new study found that running for two minutes is just as good for you as working out for 90 min-utes. That doesn't sound like a study — it sounds like something a chubby guy says after being on the treadmill for two min-utes.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Jets coach Rex Ryan thought his play-ers would benefit from some extra rest, so he de-cided to bring in a sleep specialist. Hey, it was ei-ther that or make them watch six hours of Kansas City Chiefs film.”

"We're really rollin', now we're on our way!"

As the theme song for the Sas-katchewan Roughriders goes, the Green and White defi nitely appear to be rolling after back-to-back home wins over CFL West Division opponents the past two games.

In Week 13 the Riders nudged the Calgary Stampeders 30-25 while this past Saturday night in Week 14, Saskatchewan dumped the league's best team, the BC Li-ons, 27-21 in front of another sell-out crowd.

With fi ve games to go and fi rst- and second-place within striking distance, the up and down Riders appear ready to make their move and the fans are right there with them on the edge of their seats.

It was a very special night at

Mosaic Stadium this past game. It was the only regular season night game of the year and the lights at the stadium were already on at the game's 8:10 pm kickoff time.

It seems ever since the new sta-

dium plans were announced, fans are eager to soak up every last ounce of Rider Pride there is to savour at home games and at this one there was a lot.

Before the game there was a lot of noise about the 'Occupy The Stadium' movement which was supposed to feature 30 or so pro-testers outside Mosaic Stadium before the game.

Initially the group was anti-sta-dium but then they backed off on their stance. I'm not certain they even knew WHAT they were pro-testing and the only report of pro-testers I received was two guys sit-ting at a cardtable on the practice fi eld with a cheesy sign.

Fail.No, the spirit of the Rider Na-

tion was not going to be dampened

Saturday night. Their team led throughout the entire contest and survived a late scare to post the victory and improve to 7-6.

Slotback Weston Dressler was the hero of the night scoring two touchdowns just days after at-tending his grandfather's funeral in the USA. Dressler is going to go down as one of the all-time great Roughriders.

Something remarkable has gone on with this football team this year and it's been fascinating to watch. After a 3-0 start they then went 0-5 before rebounding to win four of their past fi ve games. But it's the intensity they've put forth in the past two games which has made us sit up and take notice.

They're not winning games with fi nesse nor are they trying to. They

are physically dominating their opponents, both of whom were ahead of Saskatchewan in the standings.

"I told them to play every game like it's their last," Rider coach Co-rey Chamblin stated when asked what the difference has been lately. It certainly seems to be working.

Rider GM Brendan Taman said this week "there's something spe-cial" about this team but right now it's tough to put a fi nger on just what it is. So I asked quarterback Darian Durant after Saturday's game what's unique about this 2012 Roughrider team.

"Our heart," Durant answered without hesitation.

And that could make things very dangerous for the rest of the CFL the rest of the way.

Don't feel sorry for NHL players

Mrs. Susie Bergen Marie MercereauBERGEN – Mrs. Susie1932 – 2012Mrs. Susie Bergen, late of Shellbrook passed away on Sep-

tember 19, 2012 at the age of 79 years. Susie was born in the May-

fair district on November 10, 1932. Her family moved to the Lake Four district where she attended school. In 1953, she married Abe Bergen.

After Abe’s passing in 1993, Susie continued to live on the farm and showed great strength and courage after such a devastating loss. In time, she developed a spe-cial relationship with Fred Ziegler, which continued un-til her passing. After Susie moved to Shellbrook, she led a very busy social life. Very few days went by where she didn’t have visitors or go out for coffee with someone.

She made many trips to the farm, spending time in

the summer at her ‘home away from home’, a comfortable camper complete with air conditioning, a built-in deck, and her own small vegetable garden.

Susie loved every member of her family and was proud of them all. Her compassion, good nature and humor will be dearly missed.

Susie is survived by her children: Carol of Big River, SK; Dick (Della) of Big River, SK; Joyce (Ron) of Red Deer, AB; and Ron (Lori) of Saskatoon, SK; her grandchildren Brent, Ryan (MacKenzie) and their children Jaycob, Coy and Car-ly; Mark (Kelly) and their children Lane, Kara and Devyn; Jason (Kari) and their children Austin, Brooke, and Bent-ley; Mike (Tamara); Ashley (Courtney) and their children Ashton, Bridget and Dré; Bryce (Jay-Dean). Her sister Mary Thiessen of Big River, SK; her brother Willie (Linda “Jo”) of Quesnel, B.C.; and her best friend Phyllis Plageman of Shellbrook, SK.

Susie was predeceased by her husband Abe; her parents Mary and Abram Veer; her son in law Billy Reimer; her brothers Abe and Johnny Veer.

Susie’s Celebration of Life took place at the Big River Community Hall on Monday Sept 24, 2012 at 2:00 p.m with Delores Beaulac as the Offi ciant.

Interment was at the Lake Four Cemetery. Memorial Donations can be made out to the Lake Four

Cemetery Fund. Emailed condolences sent to www.beaulacfuneralhome.

Mr. Joseph GilbertGILBERT – Mr. Joseph 1917 – 2012On September 6, 2012 Joseph Warren Gilbert late of Big

River passed away at the age of 95 years. Joe was born on July 7,

1917 to Harry and Augusta Mae Gilbert. He grew up on the family farm in Ladder Valley where he also did his school years. When WWII broke out Joe enlisted and was sent to England. He was not in England very long when he met Alma and they were soon married in 1944. The fi rst of their children was born in 1945. Joe was discharged in 1945 at the rank of Corporal. The fam-ily moved back to Canada to the family farm in the Val-ley. The family grew once more in 1947 with Colleen and again in 1948 with Ann. Joe took over the farm in 1949 upon the passing of his father. They stayed on the farm till 1963 when the opportunity to sell came along and they moved to town, and Joe started to work at the Hotel Bar. He also took on a job at Waite Fisheries Hardware, where he was the Marshwells Manager. Joe worked at Waites until he retired. Some of Joe’s other jobs through those years was Mayor in 1970, Justice of the Peace in 1979, Coroner in 1970 for 36 years. He also became a Commissioner of Marriage, he offi ciated many marriages in Big River including his fi rst grandson and later a granddaughter. Joe was also a member of the Elk’s with Alma joining the Royal Purple Ladies. He was a life member of the B.R. Royal Canadian Legion. He really enjoyed participating in all their events, not missing a Remembrance Day Service. Joe was very proud of his family especially his grandchildren and would happily tell you so if you asked. Joe enjoyed going to Church every Sunday, as well as trying to fi t one or two golf games in every day. He even got a computer when he was 80 years old so he could keep in touch with everyone including his in-laws in Eng-land. We celebrated his 90th birthday with a party at the golf course. Joe believed in staying in shape, walking wherever he could, even rowing on his rowing machine and walking on his treadmill. Joe was well passed 90 and still cutting grass, and running up and down the yard with his snow blower. Joe suffered many losses in his life over the years that came too soon, the loss of his wife, his granddaughter and his two brothers and two sisters, but always tried to stay positive through it all. Joe formed many close lifelong friendships including a special friend Mabel Hodgson, they liked to visit family and friends together, shared meals, went to Church and watched T.V.

Joseph will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Joe leaves to cherish his memory, his special friend, Ma-bel Hodgson of Big River, SK; His son, John (Susan) Gil-bert of Fox Valley, SK; His daughters, Colleen (Raymond) LaPlante of Bodmin, SK; Ann Offet of Big River, SK; His grandchildren,Tracey (Barry) Schmaltz and their children, Josh and Peter of Fox Valley, SK; Bart (Kim) Gilbert and daughter, Katiana of Saskatoon, SK; Brandy (Merle) Catarat and their children, Mandi and Zoe of Buffalo Narrows, SK; Jody LaPlante and daughter Valiyah of Regina, SK; Tammy LaPlante of Bodmin, SK; Kim (Roy) Anderson of Big River, SK; Cory (Jason) Offet of Magrath, AB; Numerous nieces, nephews,other relatives and countless friends.Joe was pre-deceased byHis wife, Alma Gilbert, his granddaughter, Val-erie LaPlante, his parents, Harry and Mae Gilbert, his broth-ers, Cubby and Dick, his sisters, Guilda Brownfi eld, Helen Panter, 4 brothers-in-law, 2 sisters-in-law.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health is reminding con-sumers to use safe beef handling and cooking practises, in the wake of the recent recall of Alberta beef products by the Cana-dian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The Ministry of Health is aware of 13 reported cases of E.coli infection in Saskatchewan in September; the usual number of cases in that month ranges from zero to four. Public health authorities are investigating these cases and conducting tests to determine whether they are linked to the recall. Laboratory results are expected within the next few days.

“People can reduce their risk of E.coli infection by taking very simple, common sense steps,” Chief Medical Health Of-fi cer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Consumers should be vigilant about thorough hand washing when handling or preparing food, and ensure that all meat is cooked thoroughly.”

Symptoms of E.coli infection include severe abdominal pain, watery or bloody diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, head-aches but little or no fever. Symptoms usually appear within three to four days but can occur up to ten days later and last fi ve to ten days. People most at risk of developing serious complications from E.coli are pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, young children and the el-derly. Residents with prolonged symptoms should visit their doctor or an emergency department. Dr. Shahab says people should be aware that restaurant meals as well as home-cooked food could be a potential source of E.coli if food is not handled safely. Restaurant employees and individuals involved with preparing meals for the public are advised to stay home if they are ill and seek medical advice if symptoms are severe. The Public Health Agency of Canada, Health Canada, CFIA and provincial health ministries continue to monitor the situation, in collaboration with health regions. Members of the public who have health-related questions can call HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002 or visit www.healthlineonline.ca. Updated information on the beef product recall is available at http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/consumer-centre/food-safety-investigations/xl-foods/eng/1347937722467/1347937818275.

Sask licence plates going stickerless

Effective November 1, 2012, SGI will no longer be issuing licence plate stickers.

“SGI is committed to streamlining processes for custom-ers and maximizing effi ciencies,” Minister responsible for SGI Donna Harpauer said. “Eliminating stickers will both save money and make it simpler for customers to renew their plates. Law enforcement no longer relies on licence plate stickers to indicate valid vehicle registration, so the stickers really don’t serve a purpose anymore.”

Eliminating stickers will result in annual savings of $100,000, which will be redirected to support traffi c safety enforcement technology, such as Automatic Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) equipment.

“The Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police sup-ports this initiative to redirect monies saved by this change in administration,” Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police President Chief Troy Hagen said. “By redirecting the associated savings into investments such as ALPRs, public safety will be enhanced.” Over the next year customers will receive blank stickers upon renewal to cover existing stickers.

My wife and I recently madethe decision to sell our 5 quarters of farmland betweenSemans and Nokomis,Saskatchewan and we werevery pleased with the servicethat was given to us by DougRue. His agricultural back-ground and his business acumen made him the perfectfit for us in terms of completinga “worry-free” transaction. The process was swift andeasy and we were more thanpleased with the price wereceived for the land.I particularly enjoyed my conversations with Doug andhis attention to detail withrespect to following up with us.
