Friday Night Lights shine bright on Aardvarks
The Aardvarks’ offence prepares for its next play during its ﬁrst-ever Friday Night Lights football game.
All eyes were fixed firmly on the Shellbrook Aardvarks football team as they
took to the field under the Friday night
lights in a fast-paced showdown against
the Big River Highway 55’s.
The evening game, which was played
under portable lights, was a first for a
team that was revived only a short while
ago.
“We started the team about five or six
years ago when I first moved here,” said
Devon Thorpe, coach of the team. “We
raised money and there were quite a few
businesses in town that gave us money to
start the team back up.”
Since then, he added, the team has seen
an increasing number of players try out
every year, and so the idea for ‘Friday
Night Lights’ was born.
“I’m originally from the Porcupine Plain
area, and they’ve been doing it for the last
couple years so we thought it was time
to bring it to Shellbrook,” he said. “It’s
good for the community and the school
because most people don’t get to see the
games because they work until five.”
The idea seems to have been a motivator for the Aardvarks, who set the pace for
the game immediately with a touchdown
on their first possession. From there, the
team kept its foot on the gas pedal, and
headed into the half with a 38-6 lead.
Special teams set the tone for an even
more dramatic second half, which saw
both the Aardvarks and the Highway 55’s
trade kick-off return touchdowns before
the Aardvarks gave up 24 unanswered
points. Despite this, the team held on to
win with a final score of 62-30.
Friday Night Lights also seems to have
inspired Shellbrook, as the community
filled the bleachers and parked their vehicles around the field, sounding off in
a raucous choir of cheers, car horns and
ambulance sirens each time the Aard-
vark’s scored.
While the school raised some of its own
funds for the lights, the game was sponsored by Shellbrook Co-op and Shellbrook Kinsmen. Affinity Credit Union,
meanwhile, sponsored a pregame BBQ.
All in all, Thorpe said this won’t be the
last time the lights shine over the football
field at W.P. Sandin School.
“We hope to do it again next year. We’re
going to try to expand it and see how it
goes,” he said.
The Aardvarks’ next home game is Oct.
23 against Birch Hills.

The Shellbrook Seniors’

Adeline Fossey, president of the Shellbrook
Seniors’ Association said
the tea and bake sale has
been a ﬁxture for the association for decades,
and that events like it
help seniors feel a sense
of belonging in the community.
“I came to Shellbrook
eight years ago and I
didn’t know anyone,” she
explained. “Events like
these give seniors something to look forward to
and work towards. And
when you work together, you get to know each
other. That way, anyone

Minister Jim Reiter has ofﬁcially proclaimed October 5
-11 as Fire Prevention Week
in Saskatchewan and Legislative Secretary to the Minster of Government Relations
Victoria Jurgens helped raise
awareness about the role working smoke alarms have in ﬁre
safety in the home in Prince
Albert today.
Marking this year’s theme,
“Working Smoke Alarms
Save Lives. Test Yours Every
Month!”, Jurgens, along with
the provincial Emergency
Management and Fire Safety
branch, the Prince Albert Fire
Department, school ofﬁcials
and students enrolled in the
High School Emergency Services Training Program visited
Riverside Community School
and St. Francis elementary
schools to discuss ﬁre safety.
Seven hundred kindergarten
to Grade 8 students were each
provided with a smoke alarm
to take home for their parents
or caregivers to install.
“Smoke alarms are one of
the most important safety
devices you can have in your
home,” Jurgens said.
“Many investigations into
ﬁres, especially those involving fatalities, ﬁnd that there
were not smoke alarms or, if
there were smoke alarms, they
were not working or had been
disabled. Smoke alarms can
be a life-saving difference in
the event of a ﬁre.”
It is recommended that there
be a working smoke detector in
every bedroom, outside each
sleeping area and on every
level of the home including
the basement. Replace smoke
alarms that are 10 years old or
if testing shows they aren’t responding properly.

Annual eye exams for diabetics covered by province
People living with diabetes in Saskatchewan will
beneﬁt from improved access to vision care. The
province now provides coverage for annual eye examinations for diabetic patients,
effective October 1, 2014.
“Maintaining good eye
health is an important aspect of diabetes management,” Health Minister
Dustin Duncan said. “This
new service will remove ﬁnancial barriers and ensure
timely access to vision care
for people living with diabe-
tes in our province.”
Clinical practice guidelines for the management of
residents with diabetes recommend annual eye exams
to ensure optimal monitoring and care. The newly
introduced coverage will
reduce out-of-pocket costs,
improve access to an eye
examination, and facilitate
early treatment of eye issues
related to diabetes.
The eye exam coverage
for diabetics is part of a
new agreement between the

Inmates need rehab,
but Feds still say
‘No, no, no’
When I unfolded Monday’s edition of the StarPhoenix, I was more than flabbergasted to read the big, bold
front-page headline ‘Crowding ‘crisis’ in Sask. prisons,
report says.’ Now, that’s not because it seemed in any
way unworthy of being front page news. It should be.
Rather, it simply seemed like one of those “well, duh!”
moments one has when confronted by something so
glaringly obvious.
According to the report from
the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives,
Saskatchewan’s
prison system is one of the most
strained in Canada - a hard
truth that has forced prison staff
to convert classrooms, visiting
rooms and other prison facilities
into additional dormitories for
inmates. Moreover, the report,
titled Warehousing Prisoners in
JORDAN
Saskatchewan, states that the
TWISS
province’s four provincial prisons
are now housing almost double
~
the number of inmates they were
Reporter
intended for.
Given that inmates are being
crammed into prisons at a capacity that would make a sardine can feel roomy, it comes
as no surprise that the report posits that Saskatchewan prisons are rapidly transforming into “inmate
warehouses” - facilities designed only for the storage
of prisoners, not for their rehabilitation. Indeed, the
report says this transformation of prisons has resulted
in reductions to program availability, food, and even
visitations.
“It was really hard to get into any program in Regina,” said a former inmate who was quoted in the report. “They seemed to want to let you get through three
quarters [of your sentence]. But by then you’re eligible
to put things in to leave. What they would do is they
would say, ‘Well you haven’t done any programs so you
can’t leave.’ They have a violence prevention program.
I delayed my parole decision just so I could take this
program.”
But stories like these shouldn’t be surprising either.
For if the federal Conservative government has been
consistent about one thing since taking power, it’s been
that it will stand as the last bastion against the rampant
tide of crime that is “rising” all across Canada - even if
crime is and has been declining, both in volume and
severity, for the past ten years.
As if to prove that they are, in fact, allergic to statistics, the conservative government all too eagerly
passed its Safe Streets Act in 2012, which introduced
new mandatory minimum sentences for some offences
and increased existing minimum penalties in other
areas. All this despite the plethora of studies dating
back decades that suggest that longer prison sentences
aren’t effective deterrents against reoffending.
To make matters worse, the feds also seem deathly
allergic to programs that rehabilitate prisoners and
prepare them to return to their communities - as evidenced by their recent decision to defund Circles of
Support and Accountability, a group aimed at helping
high-risk sex offenders re-integrate into communities
and stay clean, to the tune of $1.5 million. Without
supports and accountability in place, it’s likely that
many of these offenders will slip through the cracks
and reoffend.
Indeed, it’s as if the conservatives have Amy Winehouse’s classic tune ‘Rehab’ stuck on repeat, and are all
too happy to sing “No, no, no” when it comes to rehabilitating inmates, choosing instead to follow the failed
model of the prison industrial complex that has been
so eagerly adopted by our neighbours to the south.
By this time, it should come as no surprise that this
model is failing our communities and our inmates here
as well.

A new city hospital while rural hospitals decline
Perhaps the ﬁrst place new rural and
remote health minister Greg Ottenbreit
should examine is the hospital in his own
home town of Yorkton.
At least a couple dozen elective surgeries in this critical rural health centre were
cancelled late last month because of a bug
problem.
“At the last minute they cancelled the
surgery stating that there were insects
and little ﬂies in the operating room,” Jason Butler told CBC News. “It didn’t leave
a good feeling with me and in fact I’m requesting to go to Regina now for surgery.”
A Sunrise Health Region spokesman
conﬁrmed the problem as cracks in the
caulking of a window, allowing tiny insects
to crawl in for tiny pests to get in.
Some may see this as a minor hiccup in
rural health care delivery - one that is easily rectiﬁed. Unless you are someone like
Butler who booked a month off work in
anticipation of his surgery, you might see
a problem like this as hardly worth mentioning.
But it does seem rather indicative of
the health delivery
problem in aging
rural facilities - a
problem that may be
compounded in the
coming years as the
government’s health
priorities head off in
other directions.

and all members of

In no small irony, the very day that surgeries in Yorkton were being postponed because of the rundown nature of the facility,
Premier Brad Wall and Duncan were turning over the shovel for the new children’s
hospital in Saskatoon that is being built
right beside the Royal University Hospital.
Admittedly, criticizing the children’s
hospital isn’t a popular thing - especially
in either the cities or in Sask. Party ranks
where there has been massive fund-raising
and a massive buy-in that this is something the province desperately needs.
The thing is, though, it’s questionable
whether another children’s hospital is
needed in Western Canada and even more
debatable as to whether this should be the
priority for scarce health dollars.
While Wall and the Sask. Party have
been selling the notion since opposition
days that we are one of the few provinces
in the country without our very own children’s hospital, lost in the conversation has
been whether that has meant our children

There is no question that there needs to
be upgrades in both the maternity and pediatrics facilities at RUH, but did we ever
need a separate, special facility of our own?
Besides the serious question of whether
we have the volume of severely sick kids

is the very legitimate problem of simply attracting qualiﬁed pediatric specialists to
staff it. In doing so, we will have to com-
YOUR TWO

Stephen Harper’s refusal to attend
global climate summit unacceptable
Dear Editor,
As world leaders gathered at the recent United Nations Climate Summit, one absence was especially
galling: that of Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Despite being in New York when the summit was
held, Stephen Harper was one the very few world
leaders invited who refused to attend. It underscored
how little environmental stewardship factors into his
government’s agenda.
His Conservative government has failed to advance
strong environmental policy — including transparent
oversight, tougher penalties and a price on carbon
pollution — and this inaction has had serious consequences for our environment, our international reputation and our economy.
Our greenhouse gas emissions are growing, not
slowing. Canada will miss its agreed-to 2020 emission reduction targets. Canada has earned an unfortunate international reputation for inaction and obstruction on climate change.
It’s all par for the course under Mr. Harper, who
manages to go to the Arctic every summer without
ever uttering the phrase “climate change” — despite
that being where its effects are most abundantly clear.
Since 2008, his government has been promising reg-
ulations for industrial emissions — and we’re still
waiting. Even American President Barrack Obama
has said that Canada could be doing more, and that
his concern impacts the decision on the Keystone XL
pipeline.
Climate change is a global problem that requires a
global solution. We need determined leadership to
make progress, but that can’t happen if our prime
minister can’t even be bothered to show up.
As well, if Canada does not demonstrate to the
world that we as a country are serious about greenhouse gas emissions, we will ﬁnd it harder and harder
to export our resources to global markets. That is why
Liberals are committed to responsible resource development, while promoting clean energy and reducing carbon emissions.
As prime minister, Mr. Harper continues to get the
big things wrong. After nearly a decade in power he
has failed to take any meaningful action on Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. His legacy will leave
our children with an environment that is ever more
threatened.
Yours sincerely,

in Edmonton, B.C. Children’s Hospital in
Vancouver, the Children’s Hospital of Winnipeg and even the Sick Kids in Toronto.
And without the best specialists, parents
will still make the difﬁcult decision of going out of province to where the best doctors are. For some of the very specialized
work, they will have no choice because the
kind of talent we are talking about may
very well be limited to but a few doctors in
the entire country.
Then there is the question of how much
we will have to pay for this talent and a
fourth hospital in Saskatoon that already
sees its newest City Hospital highly underutilized.
Meanwhile, smaller rural Saskatchewan
cities like Yorkton and every other town in
the province will have to ﬁght that much
harder for their share of the scarce health
dollars.
It’s something that Ottenbreit and the
entire Sask. Party government need to seriously think about.

hoping to use the themes of the series to light a
fire in students and the community ahead of the
arrival of next year’s Saskatchewan Student Leadership Conference.
The conference, which will bring more than 600
students to the town from Sept. 16 to 18, will be
the first to be hosted by the school division in
the last 20 years, and is slated to feature keynote
speeches from former NHLer and Saskatchewan
native, Theo Fleury and Ishmael Beah, author of A
Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, as well
as a performance by Kelsey Fitch and Kerri English. There will also be a Hunger Games-inspired
event on the closing day of the conference.
“I feel limited that we can only take about 3 or 4
students to each conference,” said Philp of the decision to submit a bid to host the conference. “It’s
something our whole student body could benefit
from. So rather than try to take 200 kids, which
would never happen, we’re bringing the conference to the kids. That way the entire town and
student body can experience this event.”
The Saskatchewan Student Leadership Conference has run annually since kicking off in Yorkton,
Sask. in 1980. The three-day event brings together
students and teachers from all schools across the
province and is aimed at instilling them with values of leadership and volunteerism.
“You come back with a positive outlook and wonder what you can do to improve your school and
community,” said Evan Beaulieu, Grade 12 presi-
dent. Beaulieu has already attended four Student
Leadership Conferences.
Philp echoed Beaulieu’s sentiments about the
conference’s potential benefits to the community.
“I think it’ll be a really positive thing for our
school and community to work together and manage something of this magnitude,” she said. “It’s
not very often that a town hosts an event like this,
so we’re excited to work so closely with the community and strengthen our ties.”
In the spirit of community, Philp said she is
looking for as many people as possible to help
organize and support the event, whether it be by
volunteering or offering up their homes to billet
incoming students from other schools.
She added that next week the school will begin
to seek sponsors more actively to help pay for the
expenses of hosting the conference.

Biodiesel back in the news
It is sometimes interesting how something pops up one
day, quite by happenstance and the next thing you know
you see it popping up in other places.
An example happened to me recently. I was attending
an event marking the local Louis Dreyfus Commodities

canola meal.
When the plant was initially proposed, and being built,
there had been talk of one day a biodiesel facility springing
up next door, the process being a natural in terms of utilizing the canola oil.
That idea seems at best on the very backburner, if not
simply dumped to ﬁle 13 for shredding.
Biodiesel production has always relied on subsidies to be
viable, and in Canada there are simply no long term programs to make a company assume the risk on a large scale.
That said, the idea of biodiesel did seem to tie edible oils
such as canola to the crude oil price, and that has dragged
canola prices higher in terms of a low price. There is a
threshold now where such oils could divert to biodiesel if
the food market was to soften too much over too long a period.
Calvin
Daniels
So what of the ideal of biodiesel,
and its cousin ethanol for fuel from
cereal grains?
The question came up in a general
ofﬁce discussion following the LDC
event – which was the second random
occurrence of the topic. The need for
alternate fuels remains real, but it is
doubtful biodiesel and ethanol from
edible crops is the best place to be inCALVIN
vesting research or large-scale develDANIELS
opment dollars.
The continued use of something
~
which will long term be needed to
feed a growing population would
seem to be ill-advised.
I would not want to suggest a long term, viable alternative to fossil fuels, but I cannot think biodiesel from edible oils is more than a stop-gap answer, and even it costs
the taxpayers to be ﬁnancially sound at the current cost of
crude oil.
So then I pop by the Western Producer website and ﬁnd
Changes in the grain
per cent year-over-year),
above the W.A.S.D.E. estimate of 1.181 billion and the
trade’s expectations of 1.191
billion. With American corn
output this year set to be a
record 14.4 billion bushel
crop, Goldman Sachs was
one of many ﬁrms revising
its price estimates lower
on this new data to $3 per
bushel. Should that materialize, it’d be the ﬁrst time
since October 2006 that
those levels have been used.
Conversely, U.S. soybean
stocks as of Sept. 1 were just
92 million bushels, down 35
per cent from the same time
a year ago, the lowest in 41
years, and well below the
pre-report estimate of 128M
bushels. As for wheat, total
U.S. inventories were seen
at 1.914 billion bushels (+2.4
per cent year-over-year) but
of note is the increasing onfarm wheat stocks in the
northern U.S. states with
producers holding 71 per
cent more wheat in North
Dakota (270 million bushels
on hand), 64 per cent more
in South Dakota (55 million
bushels), and 7.6 per cent
more in Montana (155 million bushels).
Finally, StatsCan came
out with its production
forecast for this year’s crop
on Oct. 3, estimating a 27.5
million-tonne wheat output and 14.1 million tonnes
of canola, 500,000 tonnes
below pre-report estimate
for both crops. As for other
major crops, soybean production looks to set its sixth
consecutive high at 5.96
million tonnes and barley
production is seen dropping
signiﬁcantly to 7.12 million
tonnes. As for relative production growth, mustard
production is quite high
at 178,700 tonnes while
ﬂax production is seen at
921,600 tonnes, skyrocketing not only from last year’s
output of 723,900 tonnes
but more than double 2012’s
production of 489,000
tonnes. While it’s no surprise that yields are lower
than they were last year,
they’re actually relatively
in-line with the 2010-2012
average. Speciﬁcally, canola
and wheat yields are the
same as the aforementioned
average, but when 2013 is
factored in, 2014’s estimated yields are 1.25 per cent
and 6 per cent below the
2010-2013 average. While
your farm’s yields may vary
from the national average,
the real love lost this year
will be in the quality area
as that’s what should really
be the theme to this year’s
crop, not the production
drop year-over-year.
a story on new equipment which is targeted at the idea of
biomass being procured and used to make fuels – the third
connection to the topic in a matter of days.
The article reports the ﬁrst of three projects opened last
week, the Poet-DSM cellulosic corn stover plant at Emmetsburg, Iowa. The facility is expected to produce 20 million gallons annually.
“Dupont’s 30 million gallon facility at Nevada, Iowa, is
near completion, and the Spanish company Abengoa expects to be in production by year’s end at Hugonton, Kansas,” continued the article.
“Close to a million tonnes a year of biomass will be required at the facilities, according to company website.”
A two-stage conversion is involved, with sugars produced
from the biomass subsequently converted into ethanol.
The idea of biomass has greater potential since there are
sources which are currently waste products, from corn
stalks to the material left in forestry operations, to urban
landﬁll.
To utilize waste in a manner to create energy is certainly
more attractive than consuming food for the same purpose.

Grain prices started the
month of October in the
same area that they’ve
been trending for the last
5 months: lower. This past
week though we got important reports from both the
U.S.D.A. and Statistics Canada, recording grain inventories and production estimates respectively. With
some of the earliest-planted
ﬁelds of corn and soybeans
coming off in the American
Midwest, yields are coming
in above the U.S.D.A.’s estimates of 171 and 46 bushels per acre (apparently big
crops do get bigger). On the
wheat side of things, there’s
some conﬂicting headlines
as the International Grains
Council is forecasting that
world wheat acres in 2015
will be at their highest since
1998, with 553.5 million
acres expected to come off.
However, soil moisture deﬁciencies have been pointed out in southern parts
of Russia & Ukraine, and
while August/September
rains have certainly helped
the ﬁelds in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma (the US
Southern Plains), the majority of these states remain in
drought. Further, the market theme out of the Black
Sea is that wheat exports
are slowing down, making
E.U. and North American
wheat more competitive in
the Middle East.
The U.S.D.A.’s stocks report out on Sept. 30 showed
that U.S. corn inventories as
of September 1st are larger
than previously expected at

Student Leadership Conference 2014 “Another Brick in the Wall”
Michael Andersen, Hayden Bartley, Joelle
Hoeﬂicher, Tara Johnson, Ryan Aiken, Brett
Bischler, Autumn Mcleod-Labrecque, Sydney
Kvinlaug, Kali Stocks, Dylan Kvinlaug, Miss
Boskill and Mrs. Moar attended this year’s
Saskatchewan Student Leadership Conference in Nipawin on Sept. 17–19. Over 700 student delegates and staff advisors from across
Saskatchewan came together for three days to
develop leadership skills and meet new people. The theme of the conference was “Another Brick in the Wall”. Students and staff from
L.P. Miller Comprehensive High School welcomed everyone with great enthusiasm. To
kick things off there was a welcome BBQ, ﬁeld
activities, dancing and music. Students and
advisors then gathered in the school gymnasium for the opening ceremonies and to
hear the ﬁrst keynote speaker, Ian Tyson. The
opening ceremonies also included the
presentation of awards –one which was
the Provincial Award of Excellence in
Student Activities. We are very proud
to announce that Canwood
School SRC was one of this
year’s winners. Mrs. Moar
was also presented with
the Saskatchewan Association of Student Council
Advisors, Advisor of
the Year Award. The
students were presented with a banner
that will be proudly
displayed in our school
and Mrs. Moar was presented with an engraved
plaque. Many thanks to
Mrs. Johnson and Joelle
Hoeﬂicher who ﬁlled out
the nomination forms and
submitted our names to the
Provincial SASCA executive. Over the next two days
the students attended various
breakout sessions and were
entertained and inspired by
some great speakers, including
Phil Boyte, Kevin Brooks and Marc
Scharenbroich.
Thursday ﬁnished off with a formal
banquet and a dance at the Nipawin
Evergreen Centre. Everyone enjoyed
their time at SLC and arrived home
on Friday with new ideas, cheers,
positive stories and a closer bond with the
other members of our SRC! The students are
also looking forward to next year when the
conference will be held in Shellbrook and they
will be able to help out at the ground level.
The Grade 11 and 12 students from Canwood Public School headed north to the
PANP to begin their annual canoe expedition
to Grey Owl’s cabin on Aug. 29.
The enthusiastic group consisted of 10 students and 2 chaperones. After registering
for the Back Country Camping, the group
watched a short video outlining the dangers
of big lake ﬂat water canoeing as well as being made aware of the precautions to take to
avoid contact with bears.
Following the registration, the group was
transported to the drop off point to Kingsmere Lake. After the canoes were loaded with
gear, it set off on the river to the portage. The
paddling and steering techniques that were
practiced at Fish Lake a week earlier were put
to a quick test against the current of the river.
The ﬁrst night was spent at Bladebone Bay.
This required a 4 hour paddle from the south
end of the lake. The Canoe Gods were with us
as the water was quite calm and the temperature was 18°C.
After setting up camp at Bladebone, the
hungry paddlers ate supper. After supper was
cleaned up, the task of creating a bear cache
out of a canoe strung up in the trees began.
This ended up to be a work of art and very
functional.
The kids woke up Saturday morning to the
sound of a south east wind bringing waves
straight into the bay. Everyone took their
time having a big breakfast and tearing down
camp. The timing was perfect which allowed
the canoe party to get on the water by 11:30
a.m. as the wind had switched to a more favourable direction. The group reached the
North End campground at 1:30 p.m.. Camp
was set up and lunch was eaten by 3:00 p.m..
Everyone put on a good pair of shoes and
embarked on the hike to Sandy Bay. Many
pictures were taken through the mossy path,
small creeks and downed trees on the way to
the Sandy campground. Everyone returned
to the Northend by 6 p.m., just in
time to gather up some grub before
darkness arrived.
On Sunday, the canoeists were
eager to make the trek to Grey
Owl’s cabin. Some chose to
hike while the others took
their canoes over the trail
so that they could get
some ﬁshing in after visiting the
cabin. The ﬁshing did not disappoint as many
pike and walleye
were caught and
released. Only a
few were kept for supper that night. This is always the best day of the
trip as it is not too taxing
on the canoers and there
is a lot of time just to hang
out with their classmates on
the beach. It was a perfect
day sitting in the canoe with
a little radio, listening to
the Roughrider game while
catching some enthusiastic
ﬁsh. The evening concluded with
supper and returning to the beach
after dark to star gaze.
Everyone tore down the camp on
Monday morning and made the journey down the east side of the lake in a
casual 4 hours. While paddling, part of
the group passed the time planning for
the ﬁrst pep rally of the school year by singing all of the songs they wanted to share with
the group back at school. After camp was set
up at the Southend campground, a familiar
face appeared. A former student who was on
the trip 2 years prior and wanted to show his
cousin the beauty of the region, was just ﬁnishing his trip. The canoeing skills he learned
in the past were being put to good use. The
students were also made aware of how quick
the weather could turn bad on Kingsmere as
a quick storm brewed up large waves within
about 15 minutes. Small hikes, a little swimming and games of hide and seek occupied
the group into the night.
Everyone was looking forward to getting
home on Tuesday. The gear was packed up
into canoes after a very large breakfast. The
paddle to the portage was very leisurely as the
canoes drifted down the river to the unloading spot. The group met up with the trucks
that transported everyone back to Canwood
with eyes full of beautiful scenery and our
minds full of memories to be shared for many
years to come.

tinue. It’s got to keep going on without me!”.
How proud Terry would be to know that so
many years after his memorable and heroic
journey, his dream and his belief in miracles
is still going strong.
At 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, Constable Haley from the Ahtahkakoop RCMP
Detachment, with his lights ﬂashing, kicked
off the walk as Pre-K – Grade 4 students, parents and staff made their way down the streets
of Canwood to Whispering Pine Place. Grades
6–12 made their way from the school to the
Regional Park. Everyone enjoyed walking or
running in the sunshine. When the participants returned to the school they purchased a
hearty fundraising lunch of beef/bison stew.
A number of draws were made and prizes
were given out to the Terry Fox participants.
A total of $2861.14 was raised for cancer research and more proceeds are still coming in.

Senior Golf
Three Canwood Cougar golfers entered
the North Central District Grass Green golf
championships at the Cooke Municipal Golf
Course on Sept. 18. In order to advance to
Provincials the local golfers would have to
compete against strong competition from
Prince Albert and Area. Our team was quite
inexperienced compared to other golfers.
Unfortunately, Delayne Aiken, Brody Cyr
and Colton Bahnuick did not advance from
District playoffs but hopefully this experience will help them in the future as Canwood
forges ahead into Grass Green golf.
Elementary Soccer
We had an excellent year for elementary
soccer this fall. On Sept. 8 our soccer season began and we had 32 students join from
Grade 2 to Grade 6 to participate in the
sport. We were so excited to have so many
students come out to play, it was deﬁnitely
a fun season!! On Sept. 22 and September
29 we played 2 games against Debden. The
students showed off their skills and abilities
in successful matches and kept close scores
in each game. We had the most beautiful
weather for our ﬁrst game in Debden and the
temperatures cooled off a bit for our second
game at home in Canwood. We are so proud
of our students’ teamwork and collaboration

Way to go, Canwood Cougars!!
New to our school this year is the Dream
Catcher Project, a Sask. Rivers School Division coaching project. The focus of the project is to increase the achievement of every
student in our school. This means setting a
school - wide goal and having a school-based
instructional coach work with staff and students to achieve it. Canwood Public School’s
2014 – 2105 smart goal is:
By June 2015, 100 per cent of SRPSD students will be achieving mastery or proﬁciency
in mathematics literacy or will have 50 per
cent catch up growth in mathematics literacy
(students not achieving mastery or proﬁciency standards) or will reach their individual
benchmark level in mathematics literacy. Our
speciﬁc goal will be our focus on the Number
Strand (adding, subtracting, multiplying and
dividing). By June 2015, 100 per cent of the
Grades K–10 students will be achieving mastery or proﬁciency in mathematical outcomes
in the Number Strand or will reach their individual benchmark.

October is Agriculture
Month in Sask.
Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart has
proclaimed October as Agriculture Month
in Saskatchewan. The month will focus on
proﬁling opportunities in agriculture to
youth.
“Agriculture is one of the largest economic
engines in Saskatchewan, accounting for
about 10 per cent of the provincial gross domestic product and generating more than
50,000 jobs in the province,” Stewart said.
“As harvest continues and school gets underway, October is an ideal time to share
with youth the opportunities that this thriv-

ing industry has to offer.”
With a growing global demand for food
comes high demand for well-trained individuals to work in the agriculture industry. To attract youth to a rewarding career
in agriculture, the ministry has launched a
new web presence at www.saskatchewan.
ca/thinkag that proﬁles real Saskatchewan
people employed in the industry. In addition to interactive career features, this site
offers scholarship information and teacher
resources.
In addition to the website, a thinkAG
Facebook page has also been launched to
give current and potential ag employees a
forum to discuss careers in agriculture and
what the industry has to offer.
During the month of October, teachers,
career counsellors, producers and industry
are encouraged to get involved in spreading the message that a job in agriculture can
lead to a challenging, rewarding career.
Stay connected with Agriculture Month
by following the Ministry of Agriculture on
Twitter @SKGovAG, on Facebook at Saskatchewan Agriculture or by visiting our

Dr. Joel Fuhrman a boardcertiﬁed physician in the
United States and a member
of the Institute for Functional Medicine, recently gave a
TEDx talk about nutritional
science and medicine. He
called the American diet,
which is virtually identical to the Canadian diet,
“dramatically nutritionally
deﬁcient.” Typical diets are
made up mostly of processed
foods and animal products,
he stated, which have a low
ratio of nutrients to calories.
He explained that combined
with an inactive lifestyle,
this nutritionally deﬁcient
diet wrecks our health. Like
water drops running onto a
rock from a waterfall, over
time, those water drops
will crack a boulder. In the
same way, daily nutritional
and lifestyle stressors take
their toll on our health. “It’s
the toxic American lifestyle
that’s resulting in the all
these diseases, driving people to the doctors’ ofﬁces,”
says Dr. Fuhrman.
In treating patients, Dr.
Fuhrman recommends a
nutrient dense, plant-based
diet that he calls a “nutritarian diet” which is rich in
nutrients, antioxidants and
phyto-chemicals. He says
this diet, with its high nutrient-to-calorie ratio, leads to
a longer, healthier life, stops
food addictions and cravings and helps people attain
their ideal weight.
Dr. Fuhrman uses a little
proverb to help people remember the importance of
eating nutrient-rich foods
instead of the typical North
American diet. He tells people, “The whiter the bread,
the sooner you’re dead. The
more you eat green, the
more you get lean.” Stressing the importance of eating
more produce, he sums up
his diet recommendations
in an acronym. G-BOMBS
stands for Greens, Beans,
Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds. It’s these
dietary elements that Dr.
Fuhrman calls the“immune
system special forces” because foods in these groups
inhibit fat storage, ﬁght cancer and lengthen life span.
“Heart attacks, strokes
and dementia don’t have to
happen,” Dr. Fuhrman asserts. These things are not a
natural consequence of aging, but instead are the results of our diet and lifestyle
choices. He also contends
that the war on cancer can
be won now because we already have the studies and
information we need to ﬁght
it. “A nutritarian diet is therapeutically more effective
than medications for almost
every medical condition,” he
insists.
As an example of what
the “nutritarian diet” can
do, Dr. Fuhrman refers tosome patients whose health
was radically changed due
to his simple, holistic lifestyle recommendations. He
talks about Robert who was
wheelchair bound and had
rheumatoid arthritis and
heart disease; Heather who
suffered with constant headaches, insomnia, depression
and anxiety; Donna who
had ﬁbromyalgia; and Jodi
who had severe psoriasis
and suffered for 25 years
with debilitating pain due
to lupus. They all regained
their health and were able
to live free of pain, without
medications, explains Dr.
Fuhrman, because the body
is a self-healing machine
when it’s properly fed.
Dr. Fuhrman’s message
is, “You don’t have to be sick
and be suffering and be tied
to medications for the rest of
your life.”

Reduce the risk of foodborne illness during Thanksgiving
Food is an important part of many holiday celebrations.
You can help reduce the risk of foodborne illness for your
family and friends by following some basic food safety tips.
Health Effects: The most common symptoms of food poisoning are stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and
fever. Most people recover completely from foodborne illness, but some groups are at greater risk of serious health
effects, like kidney problems and even death. The groups at
greater risk are young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.
General Food Safety Tips: There are four basic steps you
should always follow to help reduce the risk of foodborne illness:
Clean: Wash hands, contact surfaces (like kitchen counters) and utensils often to avoid the spread of bacteria.
Separate: Keep raw foods separate from cooked and
ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross-contamination.
Cook: Use an instant-read digital thermometer and cook
to these internal temperatures:
85°C (185°F) for whole poultry
74°C (165°F) for stufﬁng, casseroles, leftovers, egg
dishes, ground turkey and ground chicken, including sau-
sages containing poultry meat
71°C (160°F) for pork chops, ribs and roasts, and for
ground beef, ground pork and ground veal, including sausages
at least 63°C (145°F) for all whole muscle beef and veal
cuts, like steaks and roasts
Chill: Keep cold foods cold. Bacteria can grow rapidly
when food is allowed to sit in the so-called danger zone: between 4°C (40°F) and 60°C (140°F).
For additional holiday food safety tips, visit the Healthy
Canadians website.

Dogwoods: variations of variegation
Sara Williams
Gardeners have an enormous appreciation for variegated foliage – leaves that contain white, cream, pink, yellow
or purple in addition to the
“normal” green. Like shrubs
with golden and silver foliage,
variegated shrubs can be used
to show off shrubs with purplish foliage. Plant them adjacent to and slightly behind the
shrubs with the purple foliage
for the best effect.
Although many shrubs have
variegated foliage (varying
from pinkish through gold
and white-silver), the hardiest, the most striking and the
most readily available are
found among the dogwoods
(Cornus). Several species have
prominent variegation.
Red-osier dogwood (Cornus
sericea, syn. C. stolonifera) is
native to the Canadian prairies, often found growing wild
on the edge of sloughs or bush
in moist situations. But redosier dogwood is surprisingly
adaptable and moderately
drought tolerant once established.
It has an irregular but somewhat mound-like form, with a
height and width of 1.8 to 2.7 m
(6–9 ft.). The green leaves, opposite and simple, are promi-
nently veined, oval and with
pointed tips, turning red purple in fall. The small, white,
ﬂat-topped clusters of ﬂowers in May and June give rise
to bluish-white berries. The
stems are dull red, becoming
greyish with age and increased
diameter (not unlike people).
Red-osier dogwoods grow well
in full sun to partial shade (up
to 70 per cent shade), with the
best fall foliage colour in full
sun. They tolerate a range of
soils. Although they do better with even moisture, they
are moderately drought tolerant once established. The oldest stems can be removed at
ground level to promote new
growth with a bright red stem
colour to enhance your winter landscape. They are well
placed in shrub borders, as
foundation plantings or used
in naturalization.
‘Silver and Gold’ is large (1.8
m/6 ft. in height and spread)
and better used in larger landscapes. It has variegated green
foliage with a white margin
and yellow stems and good
winter value.
‘White Gold’, with a height
and spread of 2.5 m (8 ft.), has
green and creamy white variegated foliage and bright gold
winter stems.

There are many variegated
selections of Tartarian dogwood (Cornus alba). ‘Argenteo-marginata’, the silverleafed dogwood, has a height
and spread of 1.5 to 2 m (5 to
6.5 ft.), variegated gray-green
and creamy white foliage and
red winter stems. It does best
in partial shade.
Ivory Halo is an upright,
compact selection. The green
leaves have white margins,
and the stems are red in winter. It has a rounded form and
is 1.5 m (5 ft.) in height and
spread.
‘Gouchaltii’ (aka Gold and
Rose) is more rounded than
most, with a height and spread
of 2 m (6.5 ft.). It has variegated green leaves with yellow margins, often with a pink
tinge, and red winter stems.
Unfortunately, it appears susceptible to aphids.
‘Silver Charm’ is a dense,
slow-growing, dwarf dogwood,
approximately 1 m (3 ft.) in
height and spread with silver
and green variegation. It’s well
suited to a smaller landscape.
Sara is the author of the
new and revised ‘Creating the
Prairie Xeriscape.’ In her latest book, Saskatoon Forestry
Farm Park & Zoo: A Photographic History, she tells of
the history of an institution
and the personal stories of the
people who made an important
impact on Prairie agriculture.

Stay fit when temperatures drop
Many animals hibernate
throughout the winter.
Humans are afforded no
such luxury. In fact, living
a sedentary lifestyle during the colder months of
the year can actually prove
detrimental to human
health.
Exercise is beneficial any
time of the year, but it can
be especially so during the
winter months when colder
temperatures force many
people inside, where they
live more sedentary lifestyles than they do during
the rest of the year. Adapting your exercise habits in
the winter can help you
make it through the colder
months in great shape.
There is no reason to
stop exercising when the
temperature drops. The
American Heart Association says working out
in the cold weather has
distinct advantages over
working out in hot and humid conditions. When the
weather is cold, you may
be able to work out longer
and harder because the
heat won’t zap your energy levels, and exercising outdoors in the winter
is a great way to get small
doses of sunlight that can
improve mood and help
your body produce more
vitamin D.

Control and Prevention

hunting.
Hunting seasons vary
depending on where you
live. Regulations designed
by local conservation,
game, fish, and wildlife
departments often dictate
the start and end of hunting season. Although the
licensing, seasons, limits,
and fees for hunting may
differ geographically, the
preparation that goes into
getting ready for hunting
season is similar regardless of geography.
Many seasoned hunters realize hunting season
does not begin on “opening day.”
Rather, it can take weeks
or months to get ready for
a successful season. Considering hunting seasons
can be brief, preparation
helps hunters make the
most of their time spent
in the field.
• Purchase your license,
tag or stamp. Many wildlife departments require
hunters register in advance of the season, and
says exercise can help
boost your immune system, which can help you
fight colds and flu symptoms. Just a few minutes
of exercise each day can
help prevent simple viral
and bacterial infections as
well.
Working out in the winter may help you burn more
calories than in warmer
seasons. Research published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise
found that race times are
faster in cold weather than
in warmer temperatures.
Quicker runs or walks can
burn more calories.
If exercising outdoors is
too uncomfortable, break
up your routine into smaller, more manageable sessions. Aim for 10 minute
sessions several times per
day. This quickly can add
up to the 30 minutes of daily recommended exercise.
Dress in layers so you can
feel comfortable, adjusting
your clothing as necessary.
You don’t want to be freezing, but you don’t want to
wear so many clothes that
you start sweating and risk
hypothermia.
Consider less traditional
exercises when winter sets
in. These include shoveling
snow, sledding, skating,
skiing, and snowshoeing.
SALE BY TENDER
1. Under the provisions of The Tax Enforcement Act, the R.M.
of Canwood No. 494 offers for sale the following properties:
Block A, Plan No. 101510615 Ext 20; a portion of
SW 16-49-05 W3
Block 4, Mont Nebo, Plan BD532 Ext 3
Lot 9, Block 2, Mont Nebo, Plan BD532
Lot 1, Block 1, Mont Nebo, Plan BD532
this registration includes
securing a hunting license. Because there is
a limit to how many animals each hunter can
hunt, tags for the animals
they’re hunting also will
be issued. Hunters planning on going out for the
season should stay apprised of when licensing
and registration begins
and ends so they can hunt
legally.
• Scout areas. The landscape can change from
year to year depending
on a host of factors, including
construction,
commercialization
and
weather. Areas once open
to hunting may now be
restricted lands. Map out
your potential hunting
location and be aware of
any new landmarks or
changes.
• Check and replenish
gear. Inspect weaponry,
field-dressing supplies,
clothing, and other supplies for wear and tear.
Address any issues that
need to be fixed, or replace items as necessary.
If a rif le, bow or shotgun hasn’t been fired in
a while, take it to a range
to verify accuracy and
sighting. If you hunt out
of a tree stand or blind,
make sure it is sturdy and
in good condition prior to
use.
• Get in shape. Hunting
often requires hiking in
and out of the great outdoors in various terrain.
It’s helpful to increase
physical activity leading
up to the hunt to prepare
your body for the physical
demands of hunting.
• Organize and pack
gear. Ensure your equipment is clean, in working
order and packed away
in your travel bags. Establish a system of organization and a checklist
so you’re certain you will
have what you need. Don’t
forget to bring along your
hunting license and animal tags; otherwise, you
may be levied with costly
fines.
• Always hunt safely. It
is quite easy to get swept
up in the moment when
tracking game. Don’t let
overzealousness
cloud
rational judgement and
safety precautions. Otherwise an injury or even
death can occur.
Hunting season is on
the horizon and that
means preparing now for
the few weeks of sport to
come.

Prepare your vehicle now for the deep freeze
Did you know that even in winter, a neglected cooling system is one of the main reasons
for a vehicle break down?
Antifreeze/coolant performs three important functions. It protects the cooling system
from freezing, from boiling over, and from premature wear due to corrosion.
Even with long change intervals, the coolant level can become too low – and sometimes
due to a leak, it can completely drain away. So be sure to put an antifreeze/coolant check
on your pre-winter maintenance list.
And to prevent being left on the side of the road in the cold, here are some additional
quick tips from Prestone Products Corporation, a leading name in car care:
• Protect your cooling system by choosing antifreeze/coolant with a high quality corrosion
inhibitor, such as the Cor-Guard inhibitor package in the Prestone line. This is particularly important if your vehicle is new.
Engine metals are thinner and lighter these days (to meet consumer demands for lower
cost and improved gas mileage) so an anti-corrosion agent designed to meet new engine
construction is vital. For topping up coolant levels, save time by using a premixed formulation of 50 per cent coolant and 50 per cent demineralized water.
• Change to winter tires. Transport Canada points out that vehicle handling is improved

Toronto Maple Leafs carry
the persona of two other
professional sports teams —
Chicago Cubs and the Dallas
Cowboys.
The Leafs are the Cubs because they’re the lovable losers, their most recent Stanley
Cup win coming in1967 — 47
years ago. Cubs fans annually
have high hopes until about a
third of the way through the
season, at which point they
bring out their well-worn
“Wait till next year” T-shirts.
And the Leafs are the Cowboys because while the Dallas footballers are America’s
team, the Leafs are most certainly Canada’s team. That
foothold on the national love
affair with the Leafs is fading,
however, thanks to the addition of ﬁve other Canadianbased teams since the Leafs’
last Stanley Cup parade. But
while it’s fading, broadcasters on Canada’s two sportsbased networks, TSN and
Sportsnet, seem to do their
utmost to lead the cheers for
the Loveable Losers from T.O.

Sewer work causes partial road blocks along Main Street
For those Shellbrook residents who may have heard
strange gurgling noises emanating from their toilets
earlier this week, you can sleep easy knowing your porcelain thrones aren’t possessed.
The odd sounds were merely the result of sewer rehabilitation work being performed by ACME Environmental Services, which also caused multiple intersections of Main Street to be partially blocked off by large
trucks and equipment.
Carter Matechuk, supervisor of underground services for ACME Environmental Services, said that the
company is using a newer method of redoing sewer
pipes that is faster, more environmentally friendly and
most importantly, cost-effective.
“It’s extremely beneﬁcial to communities because
there’s no asphalt to repave, there’s no digging involved at all, and we can replace a full block in about 12
hours,” he explained. “If you dig, it takes a week or two,
and it’s about twice as expensive.
The newer method also allows workers to use prerehabilitation videos to identify problems, and postrehabilitation videos to ensure the job was done right
before pipes are reopened.
At time of publication, Matechuk anticipated that the
job would be ﬁnished in two or three days.

My 50’s are wonderful.
I travel & no more

am a social person, &
being a professional in
my field, I am invited to
many functions & events.
It would be wonderful to
have a man who enjoys
that kind of thing, but I
do like to stay at home
too. I have always had
a thing for a man with a

places in Canada I would
love see on a road trip.

Safe driving tips for Thanksgiving weekend
The Thanksgiving long
weekend is fast approaching. CAA Saskatchewan re-
minds all motorists to plan
ahead for their long weekend
travels to visit family and
friends. “We know that there
will be an increase of motorists on our roadways travel-
ling to be with their loved
ones,” said Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communica-
14102MF00
tions with CAA Saskatchewan. She added, “That’s why
it’s important to plan ahead
and ensure your vehicle is
roadworthy.
We know that in Saskatchewan the weather can change
quickly which can impact
driving conditions.
Be prepared: adjust your
driving behaviour to the
changing environments.”
Here are a few more safe
driving tips:
- Ensure your vehicle is in
top working condition with
a full tank of gas and properly inflated tires to help
with fuel efficiency. A poorly
maintained vehicle can use
up to 50 per cent more fuel.
Under-inflated tires also
reduce safety and fuel efficiency.
- Check your vehicle’s belts
and hoses. Just a little attention to these vital components can ensure your car is
operating at its best.
- Also check the brakes,
fluid levels and battery. Today’s vehicles have more
electrical demands than ever
and batteries play an essential role in meeting those demands.
- Allow extra time for travel and let others know your
route and expected time of
arrival.
- Check weather and travel
conditions before heading
out. If conditions are poor,
delay travel if possible.
- Before heading out, visit
www.getgasprices.ca
for
the lowest gas prices in Saskatchewan communities as
well as in other provinces.
- All occupants must wear
seat belts.
- Ensure children are
properly secured and that
car seats and booster seats
are installed correctly.
- Don’t speed. It’s dangerous, and driving above 90
km/hr decreases your fuel
efficiency exponentially.
- Slow to 60 km/hr in construction zones and when
passing tow trucks and
emergency vehicles on Saskatchewan highways. Failing
to do so is not only unsafe,
but could also cost you a fine.
- Remember: the use of
hand-held communications
devices behind the wheel is
banned in Saskatchewan as
well as in all Canadian provinces. It’s unsafe and monetary penalties can be steep.
- Eliminate driver distractions such as eating, drinking, adjusting radio dials and
smoking.
- Don’t drive if you’re
overtired. Stop for regular
breaks.
- Appoint passengers to be
the navigator and cell phone
user and let them check for
directions and make phone
calls or text so the driver can
focus on driving and not become distracted.
- Don’t drink and drive.
Appoint a designated driver.
