When archaeologists per-form a dig, they look at thestrata, the layers, to see whatwas there before.

Some properties in NorthBattleford are beginning tolook like they have a strataall of their own – graffiti.

Fences, homes,dumpsters, public buildings,downtown offices have allbeen coated with graffiti thisspring, and people are begin-ning to get fed up.

North Battleford’s east

side has been hard hit. Adrive around the area near13th Street and TerritorialDrive is particularly notice-able. A new fence backingonto Territorial Drive iscoated with numerous layersof gang graffiti. A buildingset up by Battlefords TribalCouncil for use as a shelter,but never used, has been hit.Graffiti has also been turningup in Riverview, FairviewHeights and Killdeer Park.

In January, a string of 19places were hit, many in Kill-deer. Those perpetrators werecaught, and one has been suc-

cessfully prosecuted and an-other is awaiting trial. A fewmonths later, however, thefences that were left alonefrom that January night havesince been hit.

“What is the issue withthem that they feel driven todo that sort of thing?” asksPat Krueger. Her garage wasredecorated on March 15.She compares it to getting ananonymous letter.

“It impacts on the way youfeel about young people. Ev-eryone gets painted with thesame brush, or can.”

One doesn’t know for sure

Nitrous oxide, a fuel enhancer, may have beenthe cause behind a quad bursting into fire Satur-day afternoon. Battleford firefighters responded tothe fire on Finlayson Island Saturday.

Graffiti layers frustrate property ownersif it is indeed young peopledoing all the work, she said.

“It’s just gradually spread-ing like a disease in thistown,” said Wally Dubnyk,after coming into the News-Optimist to complain.

Dubnyk would like to seeparents held responsible. Ifyou can’t hold young offend-ers responsible, hold the par-ents, and have them pay, hesays.

Holy Family School hadsomeone paint a stripearound a large portion of thebuilding. According to vice-principal Val Yockey, it was

as if someone had walkedaround the building, continu-ally spraying. “Bricks, win-dows, doors, everywhere,”she says.

Yockey likes the sugges-tion that local stores cut offsales of spray paint to peopleunder 18.

Lawyer Micheal Hudec’sbuilding at the corner of103rd Street and 12th Avenuehad substantial damage doneto it during the early morn-ing hours of April 6. Unlikesome simple lettering on asmooth surface that can bewashed or sanded off, theJones, Hudec and Holmbuilding is made of TyndallStone. It’s going to take acidto scour the solidly paintedlettering off the porous sur-face.

“It will take a substantialamount of work,” Hudecsays. “It’s upsetting, not

much different than yourhome,” he says. “It’s an eye-sore.”

Indeed, even city hall hasbeen tagged, something nei-ther the mayor nor city man-ager had noticed (they usu-ally enter from another door).The south side of Erin Place,which is being renovated intoan addition for city hall, hasa tag on the southeast cornerof the building.

A common favourite forgraffiti taggers is the lowlydumpster. But thosedumpsters belong to some-one, namely K & B Con-struction. When the weathergets warmer, they go out andrepaint over what they can.Sometimes it’s frustrating,because as soon as it’scovered, a dumpster might

Quad burns onFinlayson Island

Staff

Battleford firefighters responded to a fire on FinlaysonIsland Saturday where a burning quad belched black smoke.

Fire Chief Larry Gabruch says the operator indicated thecause of the fire could have been the use of the fuel enhancernitrous oxide. The quad was totally engulphed whenfirefighters arrived.

Six firefighters responded with one engine and one com-mand vehicle. The call came in at 1:57 p.m. Saturday.

So far, no charges have been laid. RCMP say the file isstill open, however.

Town councillors said Monday evening, during a budgetmeeting, that they were disappointed no charges had beenlaid.

Councillors indicated a group of eight riders on quads hadbeen down by the river, and when one of the vehicles burnedup, the other seven left.

“Nobody else sticks around, so they all know it’s illegal,”said mayor Chris Odishaw, concerned about the precedent.

Fire Chief Gabruch said it cost the town fire departmentabout $500 to attend the fire.

get tagged again.They would entertain the

idea of having young offend-ers on work programs do thework. Having young offend-ers sanding down and repaintdumpsters burned by arson-ists wouldn’t be such a badidea either, they say.

“We need the court systemto step up and punishpeople,” says David Keys ofK & B.

They spend over $300 ayear for paint, and “easily acouple grand,” on labour, ac-cording to Kerry Keys.

Police ResponseBattlefords RCMP Staff

Sergeant Ron Link pulls nopunches. “We have zero tol-erance. They tag ‘em, we tag‘em to court.”

Whereas in previous yearsthe official line from the lo-cal Mounties was that therewere gang members in thecommunity, but no gangs, perse, Link sings from a differ-ent songbook.

“There definitely is,” hesays, referring to youthgangs.

He’s recently appointed agraffiti co-ordinator to tacklethe graffiti problem. Cst.Rick Halter has been giventhe job. On his desk he has athick binder with photoscataloguing graffiti through-out the community. Most ofthose tags seen are an evolv-ing series of gang tags, mark-ing turf. There’s little pointin describing what they allare, because they are con-stantly changing.

If you get hit with graffiti,report it to RCMP right away.Reports are logged and at-tempts are made at identify-ing a suspect, using investi-gative techniques. Some-times they are successful incatching and prosecuting theculprits.

“It works, but it’s tough tomake it work,” Cst. Haltersays.

“The biggest thing is re-moving it immediately,” he

It’s really hard to writeobjectively about a crimewhen you’ve been a victimof it.

Back in January, ourgarage door was tagged bytwo young men (oneallegedly) who apparentlyhad nothing better to do ona cold winter’s night. Theytook a large permanentmarker from a vehicle acouple blocks down thestreet, and proceeded tomark up a number offences, dumpsters and evena rented van as they madetheir way down the alley.

That alley spills onto mydriveway, and I guess awhite double garage doorwas too tempting a target tobe left alone. So right in thecentre, they wrote “CK” infour-foot (1.2 m) tall letters,3/4 inch (2 cm) wide.Apparently “CK” stands forCrip Killas. In other words,it was a gang tag.

I can say two young men(one allegedly) because itwas one of those rare caseswhere a graffiti tagger hasbeen caught, and success-fully prosecuted. For that, Iam eternally grateful. I evenbaked the Mounties acheesecake in gratitude.

Through solid policework, the Mounties wereable to nab these youngmen within a couple days.

I can’t say what theirnames are, because theYouth Criminal Justice Actforbids it. Indeed, it tooksome doing for me to learntheir names, because of theact. But, as a victim, I dohave some rights. I neededthose names in order tofollow my case in court.

One youth is12, and theother is 13. At the time, onewas a SHOCAP youth, andthe other a candidate. Now,both are.

adds, saying some graffitispawns more. “Police can’tcombat graffiti alone.”

City Manager Jim Toyesays the city is looking athaving a summer studentwhose job it is to removegraffiti. That wasn’t aplanned for position, and willtake away from otherprojects. He notes civic fa-

SHOCAP stands forSerious Habitual OffenderComprehensive ApproachProgram. It started severalyears ago when policeclued in on the fact a largenumber of property crimes

in many communities arecommitted by a smallnumber of youth. In theBattlefords they have twoRCMP members whose jobit is to keep an eye on about40 young offenders. If thecourt orders a curfew, theycheck up on it. If they are toattend school, at any timeof the day, a SHOCAPMountie might show up,making sure they are there.Infractions mean anotherday in front of a judge.

And when they mess upand commit another crime,the SHOCAP Mounties arethere too. They can usuallybe seen on youth courtdays, Thursday afternoons,making their presence felt.

This was the case when Iattended court for one ofthe accused in my case.This one was releasedpending trial, so he actuallygot to walk out of thecourtroom. I walked up tohim in the courthouselobby, just as a SHOCAPMountie was having a chatwith him.

Doing my best to containmyself and not end up withan assault charge of myown, I indicated to theyouth he was charged withredecorating my garage,and it was my intention tobe in court whenever hewas. The Mountie leanedover to him, and said, “See,there are consequences towhat you do.”

One should not blamepolice for youth crime, orany crime in particular.Police are, by nature, areactive force. They can’tstop something fromhappening any more than afirefighter can stop acigarette from lighting abed on fire. They can worktowards prevention, but theactual impetus comes fromthe individual who does thedeed.

SHOCAP is an attemptat prevention. It’s not goingto stop youth crime, but itmakes a dent.

Here’s where the wheelsfell off the cart, however.Because the accused wereyouth, keeping track ofthem was a serious issue astheir names are protected.Secondly, their cases wereseparate, which meantdifferent court dates foreach accused. Top that offwith other priorities gettingin the way and a missedcourt date, and I soon losttrack of the case.

Now, I’m the big badcourt reporter whose job itis to keep track of criminalcases. It’s what I do for aliving. I, for the most part,understand the system,where to go, what to do,and who to call. Even I gotconfused about which onewas which, and who got tosit in jail.

For any mere mortalvictim who does not have

an inkling of what to do,they would be totally lost.If I could get lost, theywould need search parties.

The one accused hadallegedly marked up mygarage while on releaseconditions from priorcharges. That landed him inthe slammer for severalweeks, pending court dates.I knew it was highlyunlikely that the youth,even as a SHOCAP youth,would get any custodialtime at all for marking upmy place, so I took hisremand as a consolationprize.

Enter Battlefords VictimServices. I had contactedthem early in the process,and they kept track of thefile for me. A few weeksago I got a phone call fromVictor with victim services,telling me one of the youthhad been sentenced to ayear’s probation.

This both thrilled me andaggravated me. I had aconviction, but I hadsubmitted a victim impactstatement I had wanted toread in court. I had beenwarned by Victim Servicesand the prosecutor that a lotof what victims want to sayis ruled inadmissible, butfrankly, I don’t care. I thinkthat I, as a victim, shouldhave a right to speak mymind. Apparently you’renot supposed to givesuggestions about whatshould be done with thisperson who victimized you.

So what’s the point? Ithurt my feelings, and costme this much money, andmy daughter was concernedabout bad men coming tothe house, but I’m notsupposed to suggest thebook be thrown at them? Orthey should get somesandpaper and redo mygarage door? Perhaps Gerry

cilities like the KinsmenAquatic Centre and CivicCentre have been hit. Thestudent would likely work onremoving graffiti from pri-vate property as well, withthe city providing the labour.This position isn’t finalized,but Toye says the city is look-ing to “make this more of apriority.”

Ritz, MP and cabinetminister, might want towork on changing that littlepiece of legislation. I’vealready been to his office tosuggest it.

More importantly, Iwanted to be there when hewas sentenced, even if itwas a fluff sentence likeprobation. I wanted him tohear my words, stern andcold in an unapprovingvoice. I wanted to be able tolook into his eyes with mysteely brown-eyed glare andimpart on him the messagethat good people are notgoing to put up with punkstreating them like this. Iwanted him to know thatsomeone, me, does care.

The second accused isdue up in court on April 24,over three months since theinitial arrest. It’s likely aguilty plea will be entered. Iwould like to be there. I’mpractising my glare.

The News-Optimist, North Battleford, Sask. Wednesday, April 16, 2008 — Page 3

By Jayne FosterStaff Reporter

At a meeting in Turtlefordlast week, Prairie NorthHealth Region CEO DavidFan offered a quick lookaround the region in terms ofphysician manpower chal-lenges.

Speaking at a public meet-ing called to look at thesustainability of health carein the Northwest, he said, “Ifyou look at the Battlefords,every year we lose anywherefrom three to six doctors. Asof January this year, I knowI am already losing three spe-cialists, possibly one familyphysician.”

As CEO, a good deal ofFan’s job is recruiting physi-cians to the region.

“For me, recruiting is aconstant process.”

Many physicians stay inthe area only a few years, of-ten just long enough to passenough exams to allow themto practise anywhere inCanada, and then they moveon.

“Lloydminster is a differ-ent kettle of fish,” Fan said,“in the sense that physicianswho move to Lloydminsterdon’t tend to turn over, andfor good reason, I think. Theytend to live on the Albertaside, the tax treatment is dif-ferent, and so on. The chal-lenge in Lloydminster is wedon’t have enough of them.”

Meadow Lake needs moredoctors as well.

“We need 13 doctors inMeadow Lake. Today weonly have 10.”

He went on to say, “As oflast July, Maidstone has hadno 24-7 emergency servicesbecause there have not beenenough physicians.”

He spoke also of the factthat two of the four physi-cians serving the Northwestwere leaving, the impetus forthe meeting held last week inTurtleford by the Committeeof Citizens for the Recruit-ment and Retention of Phy-sicians.

“By end of June we’ll bedown to two physicians in

Doctor shortage

Group practices more attractive than soloTurtleford and recruitmentneeds to continue and has tobe accelerated.”

In addition to quality oflife issues, said Fan, includ-ing things that no one can doanything about -— such asthe weather — practice en-vironment is a key issue inrecruiting.

If a physician is given achoice between a group prac-tice and a solo practice, saysFan, the group practice al-most always wins.

“It is very difficult to con-vince people in this day andage to consider going into asolo one-person practicecommunity,” said Fan. “Ifyou look at Saskatchewanand the way things have beenchanging the one-doctortown is disappearing veryquickly, and those who arestill there, inevitably havebeen there for a long time.”

He cited the example ofEdam’s Dr. Ian Smith. (Edamcurrently has no residentphysician. The last doctor topractise there relocated to agroup practice in NorthBattleford.)

Group practice offers op-portunity for mutual support,collaboration and profes-sional consultation, said Fan.

“In a group practice, theycan share workload, sharecall responsibility.”

Official policies that affectrecruitment and retention inspecific communities alsomake group practices moreattractive, said Fan.

“The College of Physi-cians recently put together apolicy that essentially willrequire a foreign-trained phy-sician to spend at least threemonths in a group practiceenvironment,” said Fan, “os-tensibly to get oriented to theCanadian way of practisingmedicine, to find out the waythings are being done, butalso, more importantly, toincrease the chances of pass-ing licensing exams.”

Family physicians have topass four licensing exams,said Fan, and specialists haveto pass five.

“Before you even go to

this one person town to do asolo practice, you have to doa group practice for threemonths. Why not just go to agroup practice to start with?”asked Fan.

Government has also es-tablished significant recruit-ment incentives, with grantsranging anywhere from$5,000 to $15,000, that showpreference to physicians go-ing into a group practice en-vironment of at least threephysicians, Fan said.

The Saskatchewan Medi-cal Association also has vari-ous practice establishmentgrants. One called the RuralPractice EstablishmentGrant, worth $25,000, re-quires the recipient to servein one community for threeyears, and to do call in thesame community.

Unless there is a grouppractice in that community,few doctors would sign on,knowing they would be theonly on-call physician.

Fan also outlined how pri-mary health care impactsphysicians, saying, as ahealth region, they supportedit and are actively promotingit in the region.

He qualified, however,that at the end of the day, thedecision to go from fee forservice to alternate payment(a contract basis applied toprimary health care prac-tices) rests very much withthe physicians themselves,and to some extent, the gov-ernment.

“In a private, fee for ser-vice world, in order to makea practice viable you reallyneed to see anywhere from30 [patients], at the low end,to 40, on the average,” saidFan.

“Some physicians see a lotmore than that, then youquestion if really they aredoing a good job or not,” hesaid. However he addedsome physicians have thecapacity to see many pa-tients.

Fan said, in the fee for ser-vice model, payment for thefirst 10 patients generallygoes to overhead.

“And then you start tomake money for yourself,”said Fan.

“If you really want towork and make money, stayin the fee for service world,because life is very simple,very straight forward.There’s a fee schedule. Theharder you work the moremoney you make,” he said.

“But if you go to an alter-nate payment environment,where time is not money, youslow down,” said Fan. “Os-tensibly, from our point ofview, if you slow down, youdo a better job. You spendmore time with your patients,so vicariously, one would as-sume you provide bettercare.”

Prairie North operates aprimary health care centre inNorth Battleford at the Fron-tier Mall and the Battlefords

Family Health Centre in part-nership with MiwayawinHealth Services.

“In our experience, in theBattlefords, we want a phy-sician to see at least 25 pa-tients a day. You need to pro-duce something,” he ex-plained, “and numbers ofpatients is still a gauge ofhow productive you are.”

At 25 patients per day,physicians can spend whatthe region believes is theright amount of time to do theright amount of things.

“The difference in the feefor service world, is, you seethe physician for one thingand then you come back nextweek for another thing,something else and some-thing else. In an alternativepayment world, a physicianmay deal with multiple prob-lems you have that day and

take a bit of time, but doesn’thave to call you back overand over again,” said Fan.

“We believe primary careis a better way to go, thatyou’ll see less numbers ofpatients, but at the end of theday there will not be the kindof waiting lists that peopleworry about - because theydon’t need to see them overand over again.

Prairie North’s primaryhealth care arrangement seesa 31 per cent take of the lumpsum which comes to thembased on the collective bill-ing of the physicians in-volved. Fan explained theregion takes 31, as comparedto the 30 taken by NorthSaskatchewan River Munici-pal Health Holdings becausethey have implemented anelectronic medical recordssystem.

There was no fooling last week when city council heardfrom the Battlefords Wildlife Federation “We have but ashort time to exist.”

The wildlife federation has seen its membership declinedrastically over the years, from around 1300 to 400. Andlike so many other organizations, the writing is on the wall.

On page 13, you’ll find a story about the IODE,formerly known as the International Order of Daughters ofthe Empire. After 99 years, the Battlefords chapter hasdisbanded. The straw that broke the camel’s back? Thedeaths of two members, leaving just four.

As a result, the final assets of the organization havebeen donated, some to scholarships, the rest to care homesand kindergartens. If there’s any left, it will go to theBattlefords Union Hospital Foundation.

Expect to see more and more stories like this in theyears to come.

The groups that do much of the giving and charitablework in this community are facing a serious case of greyout. For many of them, it’s terminal.

In 10 or 15 years, we might only see a third or even aquarter of these groups in this community still in existence,or at least operational to the point of being able to dosomething. The Elks sold their hall to the Air Cadets acouple years ago. Expect to see more hall sales in futureyears.

This has several implications. Who will build theplaygrounds? Who will step up when there is a pressingneed? Who can charities turn to when they need help?

That answer has increasingly become gambling rev-enues – donations from casino-related community develop-ment corporations, Sask Lotteries, and the like. Andbecause bingos have dried up substantially since thesmoking ban in public places, even that form of gamblingis no longer a reliable source of revenue.

While cheque presentations are all well and good, theydon’t provide bodies. They don’t put in sweat equity. Andthey don’t provide a sense of community in the mannerthese service and fraternal clubs have.

All is not lost, however. While the clubs that haveexisted for decades may be withering on the vine, there isat least one new sapling. Saskatchewan Young Profession-als and Entrepreneurs is in the process of launching aBattlefords Chapter. They hope to have a big to-do inSeptember for an official launch.

SYPE is primarily a business people networking group,but then again, that was the initial purpose behind theRotary Club.

The question is, will there be more saplings?— News-Optimist Editorial Staff

Editor’s Note: The media is put in a tough spotwhen reporting on activities, such as the storm ofgraffiti which is polluting our community. While wedon’t want to glorify the actions of those doing thetagging, nor can we ignore it.

The letter’s suggestion is a good one. Clean it off, sothe layers of “me too” tagging will be discouraged.

Dear EditorWhen gangs put their graffiti on our fences that is a term

they call tagging. Most of the spray painted words, letters,numbers and scribbles you see on fences, houses andgarages are symbols of gangs. Having these billboards is astatement of ownership of the neighbourhood.

Who “owns” our neighbourhoods? Us or them? Territo-rial Drive on the east side along the bike path looks likeanother set of billboard advertising city services for

Letter

Remove graffiti tags and takeback ownership of community

prospective gang members. What do you think tourists andvisitors to our community think when they see this? Itlooks like east Los Angeles.

There’s a simple solution. All property owners shouldcover it up or remove this tagging as soon as is done. If it’son city property that’s their responsibility.

From TheTop ofThe Pile

By Brian Zinchuk

TheProvincialScene

By Murray Mandryk

Despite moving to North Battleford in 1998, it wasseveral years before I actually collected a paycheque fromthe Battlefords. In those days, I was anonymous. I knew noone, and no one knew me.

Then I got a phone call from a resumé I had dropped offtwo and half years before, my definition of divine interven-tion. I had just been laid off a job in southern Alberta, andhad come home with my tail between my legs. Was I stillinterested in working with the Battlefords News-Optimist?That was almost five years ago.

Now, as former sports reporter Jim Humphrey noted,you can’t go anywhere with Zinchuk without him eitherchatting up or being chatted up by someone. The lineup atthe grocery store rarely means just a swipe of the card andwalking out the door. A brief coffee run turns into a half-hour of yakking with at least three people. My editor waseven surprised by that one.

That, I’ve found, is the secret to being a communitynewspaper reporter. You have to be part of the community.You have to talk to anyone, and everyone, and do it all thetime, not just 9-5. You have to get to know people beyondtheir normal jobs, by what they do when they’re not atwork. Is the music festival their passion? Are they an Elkor Lion? Do they organize baseball tournaments? Person-ally, I’ve been an air cadet instructor for seven years.That’s why there are so many pictures of cadets in thepaper.

In these conversations, people will tell you they likewhat you wrote about this (which is nice), or set youstraight when they don’t like something (and trust me, thathappens). It happened last night on my sidewalk, as mydaughter struggled to figure out the mechanics of ridingher bicycle. A neighbour knew my kids from Mr. Mom, myparental leave column documenting the maddening andsometimes near-suicidal traits of my children while I was astay-at-home dad. “And this is Spencer,” she said, as hewandered around the front yard.

There’s no hiding, let me tell you.Soon, however, there will be anonymity, again.That’s because after nearly five years of chasing

politicians, fire trucks, cops and robbers, my fedora isgetting traded for a hard hat. Come next week, I will beworking for Pipeline News. A monthly newspaper, PipelineNews is owned by Glacier Ventures, the same companythat owns the News-Optimist. It’s been around for a while,covering the Lloydminster oil patch. Now it is being takenprovince-wide, merged with a similar Estevan publication.

Based out of North Battleford, I will be chasing rough-necks, pipeliners, landmen and oilmen.

It’s a bit of a return to my roots. Intermixed with myjournalism career, I worked on pipelines from Moosominto Fort St. John, B.C. Towards the end of that, I was nearthe completion of my journeyman as a pipeline equipmentoperator (excavator). I can dig a mean ditch. At least, Iused to dig a mean ditch. If I hadn’t taken that call in 2003from a two-and-a-half year old resumé, I probably wouldstill be slinging dirt.

My column will continue, however. It’s been around 16years this March, through a half dozen careers, so there’sno point in stopping now. I might even submit a photoevery so often.

Unlike many jobs, as a community newspaper reporter,

you get to intimately touch people’s lives. What you write,what you photograph actually matters to the readers. Justask any grandmother of a cute kid who appeared on thefront page.

As time passes, the conversations in the grocery lineupwill likely fade. People won’t walk up to me at the gas barwith stories, telling me what ticks them off. If they do, I’llpass it along to those whose job it is to chase the localpoliticians, fire trucks, cops and robbers. But it won’t beme. I’ll just be another guy.

That’s going to be hard. Really hard.I’ll still be around, but I’m going to miss all of you.— Brian Zinchuk is a reporter with the Battlefords

News-Optimist. He can be reached [email protected].

Trading my fedora for a hard hat

As great Canadian political speeches go, it likely won’tgo down in the annals of our history.

This wasn't Joseph Howe's 1835 speech on pressfreedom or John A. Macdonald's 1862 address on aCanadian nationality or Big Bear's 1885 statement at histrial or Nellie McLung's 1914 speech on women voting orMackenzie King's 1942 address on conscription.

That Saskatchewan Party Premier Brad Wall's brief 11-minute address in the Saskatchewan Legislature lastMonday was necessitated by the youthful stupidity he andhis then Progressive Conservative colleagues had engagedin during the 1991 election campaign may say far moreabout modern-day perils of recording devices than any-thing else.

His speech to the Saskatchewan Legislature on whathe's learned about tolerance and respect in the nearly 17years since that video tape recording caught him mockingformer NDP premier Roy Romanow in a thick Ukrainianaccent, was a profound moment for Brad Wall.

It might even go down as an important moment for aprovince all too often portrayed to the rest of the nation assome intolerant, rural backwater.

Wall’s speech Monday was his first opportunity torespond in the legislature to the embarrassment the nowinfamous videotape created. He took that opportunity toapologize profusely to Romanow, to the Ukrainiancommunity and to extend an apology to former Liberalleader and Lt.-Gov. Lynda Haverstock for sexist remarksothers on the videotape made. He also noted others on thetape, like his now executive director of communication,Kathy Young, had extended her apologies to labour

Video results in fine moment for Wallleaders.

Ironically, Wall's speech made no direct reference to theanti-homosexual remarks made by now Conservative MPTom Lukiwski. One can understand why. Wall was notdirectly linked to Lukiwski's extreme remarks, so he hadno obligation to take responsibility for them.

That said, he did indirectly address the intolerancebehind those remarks in a way that should make us allthink.

Perhaps even more important than his apology andrecognition that his current office requires leadership, wasthat Wall said we can all learn something from this wholesorry affair.

"Our best hope to find our better selves and to build abetter province is not in this room today," Wall told thelegislature. "It is with our kids."

And we should be teaching our kids that, while we allare likely guilty of partaking in an off-colour joke or not

interjecting when a racial intolerant comment was made,there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed, Wall said. We canall stop others from crossing that line with gentle condem-nation.

This shouldn't mean becoming so politically correct thatwe lose our ability to laugh at ourselves or even others in agood-natured way, the premier said. But "if you're notprepared to say it to the individual, to their face," perhapsyou shouldn't say it.

Without being preachy, he offered wisdom. Withoutbeing melodramatic, he showed political courage.

It may not have been the most important speech in ourhistory, but Wall’s message was one that we should allspend a moment thinking about.

Saskatchewan has produced some of the best, when itcomes to kind, generous, open hearted people — the kindof people who would make any newcomer feel welcome.Heck, the finest person I've ever known comes from ruralSaskatchewan. I met her 24 years ago, married her 10years later and now my own three kids call her mom.

But, like a lot of places in this world, the place shecomes from can sometimes be an intolerant one — farmore intolerant than people realize. And, with the abilityfor things like the Internet to spread hate and anger, Wallwas right —we all need to be vigilant.

This was his profound message emerging from this tape.While not the greatest speech in our history, it was a

good one.

Be the Change, a programwhich promotes positivechange, has been growingwith its host school as wellas in the community.

“We at John Paul II Colle-giate feel that Be the Changeis contagious and groundbreaking,” says RenaFauchon-Smockum, programco-ordinator at JPII Colle-giate.

“Only great things willcome from this movement,and with the support that ourcommunity has been showingwe are only going to see greatthings.”

Be the Change challengesand encourages people tomake positive changes insomeone’s life through posi-tive and non-judgmentalwords and actions. The pro-gram is based on the prin-ciple: “If you want to make adifference in the world, be the

change yourself.”A number of initiatives

have been undertaken thisyear so far, says Fauchon-Smockum.

In January, a presentationwas done to Child and YouthServices and to the Partner-ship Promoting Violence FreeCommunities.

Work has also been donewith small groups that haveneeded some intervention,says Fauchon-Smockum.

Also, she says, there wasa half day workshop for staffwhere they did activities ledby those who participated in“The Next Step To Being TheChange” in California.

In February a Circle ofChange community meetingwas held and in March theactivities from the workshopwere shared with that group.

“We did the half day work-shop for the Circle of Changegroup that we have done forour JPII Staff,” saysFauchon-Smockum.

“The community memberscame out again with openhearts and open minds andenjoyed the activities and thenight tremendously. It gavethem more information onwhat Be The Change is andhow we have been imple-menting it into our school.They also have more infor-mation to take back to theirworkplaces and to theirhomes.”

Another event was a Grade8 retreat, which combined Bethe Change and faith.

“It went over well and nowour Grade 10s and Grade 8shave been touched a littlemore by Be the Change.”

Fauchon-Smockum alsosays that, on March 19, agroup of 12 students, selectedrandomly, met at the BestCanadian Motor Inns for athird one day workshop onBe the Change. Another oneis scheduled for April 16.

“Our hope is to inform asmany students as possibleabout Be the Change,” shesays, “as well as find somestudent leaders to help outwith our Challenge Day in thefall and our elementary re-treats this spring.”

Another special eventcoming up will be presentedJune 1 by John Paul II Colle-giate and the BattlefordsCircle of Change.

A Be Real Be BeautifulPrincess Tea will be held atthe Tropical Inn from 2 p.m.to 4 p.m. for women and girlsof all ages. Tickets are $5.

Come in your “princessattire,” says Fauchon-Smockum — whatever thatmeans to you. Tiaras will beprovided. For tickets she maybe contacted at 446-2303.

Together is better.

Not only is Access the home of real HDTV, we also offer the local, friendly 24/7 support HDTV watchers have come to depend on.

To order or to learn more, call 445-4045 or toll-free at 1-866-363-2225, or visit www.accesscomm.ca

HDTV is great. Everything looks and sounds better: movies, sports, nature, even the news is better in HD. But not all HDTV is created equal. If you’re looking for the real HD experience—the way it’s meant to be seen—you need Access HDTV. Here’s why:

Better because

Cable delivers 750 MHz of bandwidth to the house – that’s more than 60x what DSL can deliver, and is more than enough to allow for multiple simultaneous use.

All that bandwidth is delivered at speeds faster than you can imagine – actually it’s delivered at 4000 mbps!

Cable is even capable of 1080p and higher possible resolutions when they are available…can your service provider say the same?

Access has a great HD lineup (see below).

We’re adding more HD channels all the time.

Our HD PVR Box has an HD dual tuner.

What does that mean?

That’s a LOT of bandwidth!! Want to watch different HD channels on multiple TV’s, surf the net and talk on the phone all at one time – go ahead!

At these speeds and with this much bandwidth we can deliver true, real-time 720p or 1080i signals (the most any network currently sends out) to any number of TV’s in your home.

Simply put, your HD picture and sound will always be better with cable!

You get to watch the HD channels you actually want to watch.


Pause live TV, fast forward, rewind and basically control how you watch TV. In fact, you can perform up to 3 actions (in full HD) at once: record two programs and watch another you recorded earlier, for example.

In entering into a partner-ship with the Ministry of FirstNations and Métis Relations,the Living Sky School Divi-

Living Sky works toward representativeworkforce, aboriginal partnerships

sion feels the demands will besuch that they will be able touse a full time person to helpimplement it.

That is, if they can find justthe right person.

“If you’re wanting a recom-

mendation from me, I’ll giveit to you strongly,” director ofeducation Ron Ford told theboard at a meeting last week.

“We’re in a number of situ-ations right now where wecould use the kind of expertise

of someone like this to helpus establish partnerships andeven to deal with a number ofpersonnel issues.”

However, he pointed out,the division is under no obli-gation, despite their decision

to sign an AboriginalWorkforce DevelopmentAgreement with the ministry,to hire anyone if the right per-son can’t be found.

Last week the Living Skyboard agreed it should be onboard with the ministry in thedevelopment of a partnershipfor First Nations and Métisemployment in the areas ofstudent and community ca-pacity building, labour mar-ket attachment and workplacepreparation, and First Nationsand Métis partnership devel-opment.

Ford uses the developingpartnerships with Red Pheas-ant and Mosquito First Na-tions who are sending theirchildren to Cando School asexamples, as well as the ex-isting partnership inSakewew High School inNorth Battleford.

There are other potentialpartnerships they can advanceas well, says Ford.

“If we can find somebodythat understands a little bitmore of the culture, who hasan ability to speak Cree, forexample, we believe that’shelpful.”

Ford says the division cancontinue to do some of thework with current staff if theright person can’t be found.

“If we sign the agreement,the ministry will most likelysupply whatever expertisethey can to us,” he says.“That’s not insignificant. Wejust figure that the demandwill be such that we can havesomebody in Living SkySchool Division full time. Itreally has to be the right per-son.”

One of the goals of theagreement is to advance aworkforce that’s more repre-sentatives of the students thedivision works with.

“We’re not nearly a repre-sentative workforce,” saysFord. “This would be anotherrole for this person — to helpus get there.”

Under an Aboriginal Em-ployment Development Pro-gram agreement, the partiesagree to work with First Na-tions and Métis communities,

teachers, and employees todevelop: First Nations andMétis awareness and educa-tional programs; employmentand career development, in-cluding participation in ca-reer information and plan-ning events in the First Na-tions and Métis community;linkages to the First Nationsand Métis labour force; pro-grams to promote employ-ment opportunities for FirstNations and Métis peoples;training needs and communi-cations strategies with localtraining institutions involvedwith the education of FirstNations and Métis persons;support services, both on thejob and in the community, ac-cessible to First Nations andMétis employees; a broad-based and responsive repre-sentative workforce modelthat can be used by other or-ganizations; an action planindicating both short andlong-term strategies, includ-ing strategies for co-monitor-ing progress of the agreementand co-evaluating results ofthe agreement.

Other local entitities whichhave signed a similar agree-ment are: July 27, 2007 - Cityof North Battleford, Cana-dian Union of Public Em-ployees Local 287, NorthBattleford Fire Fighter’s As-sociation No. 1756; June 12,2007 - North West CatholicSchool Division No.16(Light of Christ CatholicSchool Division); June 20,2005 - City of NorthBattleford; June 20, 2005 -Prairie North RegionalHealth Authority and Affili-ate; Saskatchewan Associa-tion of Health Organizations;and Unions; March 22, 2004- Access CommunicationsCo-operative Limited, Ac-cess Communications Em-ployees’ Association, andCommunications, Energyand Paperworkers Union ofCanada; Feb. 6, 2003 - Battle-fords Chamber of Com-merce; June 16, 2003 -Saulteaux First Nation; June16, 2003 - Battlefords TribalCouncil; May 4, 2001 - NorthWest Regional College.

The calibre of hockey, ondisplay this past weekend inNorth Battleford was enter-taining for fans from acrossWestern Canada.

The Battlefords IndianMétis Friendship Centrehosted its 44th Annual AllNative Hockey Tournamentat the Civic Centre and eightteams competed for the$30,000 in prizes.

The tournament commit-tee saw the number of teamscut in half this year, but say,with this year’s success, theyexpect it back to 16 next year.

“We had to compete witha local rec tournament andanother in Prince George, butthe players and fans reallyenjoyed it and we should beback to our usual numbersnext year,” said tournamentorganizer Jackie Kennedy.

This year the tournamentproduced a first time winner,as the P.A. Mia’s beat theRedskins 8-3 in the final. TheRedskins won the tournamentin 2004 and 2005 and are al-ways one of the most popu-lar teams at the tournament.

McCallum Autobody,which featured some playersfrom the Red Pheasant area,finished in third place aftereliminating the formerchamps, Jean’s Beans, in aplayoff game.

As the tournament drewon, the stands continued tofill up and the final fourgames of the tournament pro-duced near capacity crowdsat the local arena.

“The teams were great, thehockey was great and we hada lot of great sponsors, whichmade this a success” saidKennedy.

Trophies for the top threeteams, six all-stars, the mostsportsmanlike team andplayer and most valuablecoach were sponsored byvarious organizations and in-dividuals from in and aroundthe Battlefords, including thetournaments major sponsorGold Eagle Casino.

Next year, the tournamentcommittee hopes to add moreevents and possibly awomen’s hockey division tocontinue to build off the suc-cess of this year, and theyhope to create more interestsays Kennedy.

Aboriginal tournament still a successDespite low team participation, $30,000 was won at All Native Hockey Tournament

Rider fans across the prov-ince have experienced sittingin the nose bleed section ofMosaic Stadium, blowing ontheir hands and having chillsdown their backs.

That could be because ofthe rain or wind that ispresent for nearly half of the

Green and White’s homegames in Regina, or it couldbe because of the atmospherethat stadium provides ongame day.

Sure, the field is outdatedand growing old, but, if wearen’t going to get a new sta-dium, is it worth changingthe old one with smallfacelifts to cover up 80 yearsof football history?

The name changes and ar-chitectural changes that havebeen made to the stadiumsince 1927 have kept up withthe growing demands of thecity, the team and most im-portantly, the fans.

Now the newest idea is tobuild a bubble over the play-ing surface, as a cost efficient

Cey What?

way to avoid the question ofa new stadium. Also, thehope is to make it possible formore organizations to use thefacility year round.

Yes, that’s right, our sta-dium, the heart of the RiderNation, under a bubble.

The atmosphere in Regina

on game day is second tonone in the CFL and whenthe clouds are moving andthe sun is shining that is theplace to be, but now peoplefrom the land of the livingskies may not be able to seethe sky.

Mosaic Stadium, TaylorField, Park de Young, ParkHughes, whatever the nameis, this building will foreverbe a landmark in our prov-ince that manySaskatchewanites havegrown up with and some-thing that will not be forgot-ten, even if a bubble is added.

Again this year nearly $6million is going to bepumped into renovations tothe stadium, which will im-

prove the washrooms,consessions and updatewheelchair accessibility.

These are areas which areglaring problems with the sta-dium, but the question ofwhether building a lacklusterroof over the field is neededis confusing Riderville, andleft many wondering why?

This season the Riders an-nounced a record high in sea-son earnings, with$22,950,489, a $7 millionjump from last year. Like anybusiness where results pro-duce profit, going to the GreyCup, selling out eight homegames and hosting our firstplayoff game in 19 yearswere big contributors to theincrease.

What is the rush to turnaround and spend it on some-thing that we don’t need andwill be outdated a few yearsafter it is completed.

Maybe it is time forRegina to listen to actressEliza Dushku, “go big or gohome”.

Don’t build a bubble. Startplanning to build a stadium.Perhaps the fans’ bubble hasalready burst with the loss ofa head coach, league MVPand some key defensive play-ers.

It remains to be seen whatthose moves will do to theRiders this season, but win oflose, Rider fans will be there.So when it comes to stadiumchanges, we will just have towait it out and hope they doit right.


A former SJHL leagueMVP and member of theBattlefords North Stars,goalie Justin Pesony, re-ceived more praise lastmonth, as he was nominatedfor the Lowe’s Senior ClassAward.

The award emphasizesboth on and off ice achieve-ments. Since it was createdin 2001 seven National Col-legiate Athletic Associationsports have joined the pro-gram.

The launch of the awardwas to encompass a broaderview of sports and studentathletes and was started as anumber of basketball playersleft college early to play atthe professional level.

The NCAA award isbased on the four Cs: class-room, character, communityand competition. As a mem-ber of the St. Lawrence Uni-versity men’s hockey team,Pesony has been the idealexample of a student athleteaccording to nomination. Hewas selected as a finalistfrom the list of 20 players.

“I was very honoured tobe nominated,” said Pesony.

“While I am not completelyaware of the basis for thenomination, to be consideredalong with some of the othernominees is incredible.”

Pesony ended his senioryear with St. Lawrence whileplaying only seven gamesand recording two wins, butwhat he does off the ice maybe his biggest contributionto the team.

In 2007 Pesony won theBrian P. Doyle MemorialTrophy for his character, ath-letic ability and leadership.

He was also named teamco-captain this season in hissenior year. His leadershiphas made him the first goaliesince 1983 to wear the “C”,despite being part of a fourgoalie rotation this past sea-son.

Pesony also held a 3.772grade point average through2007 and was on the Dean’slist six consecutive semes-ters.

Pesony married his wifeAmanda during the off-sea-son and raises his five-month-old daughter on top ofbeing a student athlete.

Voting for the awardended March 29, and, unfor-tunately, Pesony didn’t win,as the award was open to the

public to vote. With the smallcampus at St. Lawrence, hedidn’t have much of a chancecompared with athletes oflarger schools. Voters couldvote once a day during thewhole campaign, whichspanned more than a month.

“To be honest, I didn’tthink that I was really doinganything special that de-served an award,” saidPesony. “I am just trying tomake the most of my oppor-tunity here at St. Lawrence.”

Pesony will end his col-lege career with his name inthe St. Lawrence recordbooks, as he tied the recordfor most appearances in aseason with 37 and recorded20 wins during his sopho-more year, which is the sec-ond most in team history.

His college career recordis 26-21-4 with two shutouts.Pesony is one of four formerNorth Stars to accept a schol-arship to St. Lawrence Uni-versity since 2003 and nowlooks forward to his newchallenge.

He and his family will bemoving back to Edmonton,where he will start the pro-cess to enter the EdmontonFire Department.

pact to the Battlefords of $1.5million as a result of theevent. With final financialresults close to being re-leased, plans are to donate theprofits to the multipurposefacility.

Johnson commented dur-ing the meeting that she andco-chair Keith Scherr wantedto make their hosting com-mittee a “Battlefords fo-cused” group. They electedto recruit several committeechairs that don’t actively curlbut had the abilities that thehost committee needed.Johnson singled out sponsor-ship chair MikeZaychkowsky and a verysupportive business commu-nity that recognized the po-tential value of the Scottiesto the Battlefords.

“The business communityreally stepped to the plate andMike and them should becongratulated as they’re ahuge part of the success ofthe Scotties.” said Johnson.

A team that no one gave achance, the KindersleyKlippers, and a team that wasexpected to be in the final,the Humboldt Broncos,battled in game seven of theSJHL championship lastnight in Humboldt after presstime.

Kindersley, who movedinto 13th on the CanadianJunior A Hockey League’stop rankings last week, leadthe series three games to one.Once Humboldt, who wereranked fourth after droppingout of the top spot, had theirbacks against the wall theyturned up the physical playin games five and six andmade the series interesting.

In game six the Broncos’powerplay was the differenceand goaltender TaylorNelson, who recently com-mitted to a scholarship atFerris State, shut the door andpreserved a Broncos’ victory.

The Klippers poured onthe pressure in the third pe-riod of game six and with .8seconds left on the clock theyattempted a wrap aroundwhich slid under the post asNelson’s skate knocked it offand the goal was not allowed.

Fans erupted and the lo-cals littered the ice surfacewith garbage, while the threesections of Humboldt fanscheered with all their energyand what voices they had left.

All season, the players onthe Broncos’ roster werecritical of the fan support

they got, despite beingranked number one for themajority of the season, butthat was not the case in thisseries.

“Our fans were awesome,so loud and intense for a roadgame, it was great,” saidBroncos’ captain RussellNielsen after game six inKindersley.

Nielsen, a formerBattlefords AAA Star, wasnamed the defenceman of theweek as he picked up a goalin game five and had three as-sists during the week, a keyreason the Broncos lived toplay in game seven.

The Klippers also have aformer AAA Star on theirdefensive core, Scott Linnell,who had two assists in

Kindersley’s 20 playoffgames.

With the Credential Cupchamps being crowned lastnight in Humboldt, they haveonly two days to prepare forthe Manitoba representative,the Portage Terriers.

The Anavet Cup will startin Saskatchewan Friday, thenafter game two the teamshead to Manitoba for gamesthree, four and five, if neces-sary, then back here to wrapit up.

Both the Broncos andKlippers have won theAnavet Cup, with the Bron-cos winning it in 1989 and2003, and the Klippers in2004. Portage also won thetrophy in 2005.

MAIDSTONE — Maid-stone High School studentstook a step back in time lastweek as they celebrated theirannual Rally Day.

“Those Were The Days”was the theme of the eventthat gave students an oppor-

tunity to open their mindsand try some brand new“old” activities.

The day began with abreakfast and entertainmentby Codie Prevost. The open-ing ceremonies were fol-lowed by a drama presenta-tion by Sun.Ergos theatre anddance company out ofCalgary, Alta. The interna-

tional touring company setthe tone for the day with theirproduction of Thor’s Ham-mer, a collection of ancientViking legends.

Costumes, set pieces andsubtle musical accompani-ment aided in the telling ofthe stories as the two actors,Robert Greenwood and DanaLuebke, seamlesslytransitioned from one inter-esting character to the next.

After the drama presenta-tion the students moved todifferent venues throughoutthe community to try theirhand at the activities.

Artisans, artists, athletes,and instructors from through-out Alberta andSaskatchewan filled therooms with passion for theircrafts.

Some of the activities in-cluded European Swords-manship, chess, calligraphy,blacksmithing, knife making,

paper making, spinning,mask making, fencing, dancemovement and highlandgames.

Many of the workshopswere only 90 minutes whilesome of the more compli-cated were 4.5 hours long.Students were able to trymore complex arts likestained glass with each of theparticipants taking home afinished piece.

Participants in the Renais-sance painting workshopspent the day with acclaimedart teacher Sandra Miller. Bythe end of the afternoon ev-ery participant had an oilpainting ready to display.

Edmonton’s PhoenixAugustium Medieval Societymembers wore their cos-tumes all day as they showedoff medieval style swordsand chainmail and demon-strated the making ofchainmail.

Mel and Penny were thelunch time entertainment andthe high school band playedduring the supper hour. Thesupper was a medieval feastcomplete with two wholeroasted pigs.

The day ended with adance with the hard rocking

style of Feedback from NorthBattleford.

Maidstone High School’sRally Day is a highlight ofthe school year that takes 10months of planning, dedi-cated staff members, a core

group of dedicated studentorganizers and over 50 percent of the student body vol-unteering in some way to cre-ate an event that brings qual-ity entertainment and educa-tion to everyone involved.

MAIDSTONE — It hastaken a lot of creativefundraising to build the newPine Island Lodge at theMaidstone Integrated HealthCentre.

Last week Les and EthelSmith stepped up with thedonation of the proceedsfrom a heifer auctioned offduring their annual bull saleMarch 9. They advertised thedonation beforehand and onauction day Jason and JennyBedwell of Lloydminsterbought the “pick of the pen”for $2,100. The Smithssweetened the deal by offer-ing artificial inseminationservices and the Bedwellswere able to choose the bullas well.

The Smiths own and op-erate the Standard Hill Angusfarm, home to 130 head pure-

bred cattle. The idea came tothem to put something backinto the community. Theydecided to offer the “pick ofthe pen” from their replace-ment pen giving the winnera choice of 45 heifers.

The heifer chosen has astrong lineage. Her dam is anelite cow with Canadian An-gus status and the sire is froman AI catalogue. They willdeliver the heifer, known asStandard Hill Lassie 35T, toher new home after she is in-seminated and settles downlater this month.

Don and Shirley Youngwere on hand to accept thedonation on behalf of thefundraising committee.

“It certainly is an idea thatthe farming community cantake forward,” said DonYoung.

The committee is confi-dent they will have reachedtheir fundraising goals by the

The Youngs expressedtheir gratitude to the Smithsand were also grateful to theBedwells who took the bid-ding to $2,100.

Job may be the most mis-understood – and underesti-mated – saint in all the Bible.Scholars believe he livedback around the time of thepatriarchs Isaac and Jacob.He was the most godly manof his time, and also thewealthiest (Job 1:1-3, 8). Butthe devil had a theory aboutthat. He was convinced Jobonly served God for what hewas getting out of it. That ifthe benefits were taken awayhe would turn his back on theLord (1:9-11).

When a sovereign Godgave Satan permission to testJob to the limit, he swiftlybrought an avalanche of di-saster on this faithful man.With his children killed, hishealth destroyed, his wealthbut a memory and his wifeturned against him, Job satdown on an ash heap tomourn. But, he did not rebelagainst God.

Even though he could notunderstand the reason forwhat had happened, he con-fessed God’s right to give andto take away again (1:21;2:10). In steadfast faith hedeclared, “Though He slayme, yet will I trust in Him.”(13:15)

In the course of time threeacquaintances of Job ap-peared. They sat down withhim and began to debate whycalamity had struck theirfriend so forcefully. Andwhat a debate! The exalted

language, the depth ofthought, are unmatched any-where in literature. The fun-damental conclusion of thethree friends never alters,however. They believe Job

must have sinned terribly forthis to happen to him. Suchwas not the case, as Job in-sists, and as God Himselftells us (2:3). But their theol-ogy will not admit any otherpossibility. Surely goodpeople do not suffer like that.

Finally, Job reaches theconclusion that if justice isnot forthcoming in this life,it must come in the life tocome. God’s holy characterdemands a proper resolution,and He will set things rightin that future time. It seemedto be his only hope.

Job’s insights concerningthe afterlife are amazing andprofound, given the earlytime in which he lived. Thefirst books of the Old Testa-ment where not produced foranother 500 years. But Jobconfidently affirmed, “I

know that my Redeemerlives, and He shall stand atlast on the earth; and after myskin is destroyed, this I know,that in my flesh I shall seeGod.” (19:25-26) And “He

knows the way that I take;when He has tested me, Ishall come forth as gold.”(23:10)

Almost from the dawn ofhistory comes this powerfulaffirmation of the resurrec-tion, which author JessieBrown Pounds has used inher hymn. I Know That MyRedeemer Liveth. Mrs.Pounds (1861-1921) was abusy pastor’s wife who alsofound time to produce anamazing variety of music.She wrote cantatas and oper-ettas, as well as over 400 gos-pel songs. Today’s selectionfirst appeared in 1893, as partof an Easter cantata calledHope’s Messenger. Threeyears later it was publishedas a separate hymn.

Beginning with the wordsof Job, the song says, “I

I found Cross CountryCheckup especially interest-ing today. This phone-in

show, aired over the Cana-dian Broadcasting Corpora-tion, is a forum for opinionson current topics and therange of opinions is, to saythe least, diverse.

This week’s question was:“Is it time to eliminate thepenny?” I admit that a fewtimes I seriously consideredindulging in the Home andGarden show on TV instead.While the question might beamusing, I sure didn’t see itas a catalyst. Topics such aspolitics, the health care sys-tem and minority rights al-ways garner lots of fire-works, but pennies? A non-starter for sure, at least as faras I was concerned.

He prepares a mansion for the faithfulknow that my Redeemerliveth, / And on the earthagain shall stand; / I knoweternal life He giveth, / Thatgrace and power are in Hishand.” And, “I know Hispromise never faileth, / Theword He speaks, it cannotdie; / Though cruel death myflesh assaileth, / Yet I shall

see Him by and by.” JessePounds then draws on apromise of the Lord Jesusfrom John’s Gospel (Jn.14:2-3) with, “I know mymansion He prepareth, / Thatwhere He is there I may be; /O wondrous thought, for meHe careth, / And He at lastwill come for me.”

That is faith’s assurancefor the Christian, rooted inthe resurrection of Christ onthat first Easter morning.Even when trials and seem-ing injustice assail us here,the believer can have confi-dence God will resolve thesethings when we stand beforeHim. Hallelujah!

Life composed of ‘pennies’treat — a Sunday afternoonnap — with my finger on the“power” button of the bed-side radio. “I’ll just see if

anyone actually calls in or ifthey have an alternate topic,”I told myself, convinced thatI might get a bit more of asnooze than usual. Boy, wasI wrong.

There was the suggestionfrom a farmer in Wiseton,

Sask. with his plan to modifythe coins for use as washers.Then there was a call fromsomeone in Leader, Sask.who, if I recall correctly, toldof being in penny-free NewZealand. One fellow sug-gested his charitable givingwould be adversely affectedif there were no pennies todrop in designated jars.

For me, however, sugges-tions pennies were remindersthat life is made up of smallthings, tiny details and littledecisions were powerful. Ittakes pennies to make dol-lars; it takes commitment tomake a meaningful life.

We’re given just one life— let’s spend it wisely.

Warm temperatures dur-ing the last few days havechanged the landscape. Thereis not a lot of snow left ex-cept where it is piled alongfence and tree lines. Pres-ently there is lots of water inthe fields around here. Eachday we see more summerbirds arriving. Before thewarm weather came, a largeflock of slate grey juncoswere feeding in the yard. Iexpect they will have flownnorth by now and we won’tsee them again until fall. Lastweek I saw a huge flock ofsnowbirds. They were prob-ably on their way north aswell.

It is interesting to followthe activities of young peopleas they progress in their lives.A unique group are the MillerPerforming Arts Troupe. This

group of six siblings fromParadise Hill has been work-ing together as a professionalgroup for a few years. Eachhas previously done a lot ofwork, and had training in, thefield of music. Presently theyare touring, presenting theiroriginal musical, The PirateCats. Their most recentvenue was the Vic Juba The-atre in Lloydminster. Theyshould be proud of the workthey are doing in the enter-tainment field. The time andwork that must have goneinto this performance is stag-gering. They wrote the script,composed the music and lyr-ics, did the choreography anddirecting. Help with prepar-ing the costumes, sets andprops came from their par-ents, Bertha and John Miller.

Congratulations and goodluck in the future.

Learning how to read is just the firstof many lessons in a life-long education.But for some that first step is difficult.

it is more obvious than ever thatwe must all

strive to overcome this problem.

EulogyHi, my name is Candice, Jeanne’soldest granddaughter. I am here toenlighten you on a few facts aboutmy Granny, which you may notknow. 1. She didn’t like her sheetstucked in at the end of her bed whenshe went to bed. 2. Her favourite

colour was blue. She enjoyedshopping at The Dollar Store. 3. Herfavourite food was lasagna,favourite pop was Fresca, and sheloved cheese bread. 4. Her favouriteflower was Gardenia’s and she lovedgardening, spending a lot of timeoutside in her yard. 5. Granny lovedgoing to the fair. Rejeanne LinaCarriere was born on September 3,1934 in Jackfish, Saskatchewan toYves and Josephine Carriere. Shewas the 3rd of 13 children. She wasbaptized September 7, 1934,received her first communion andconfirmation at St. Leon’s CatholicChurch in Jackfish. She attended St.Michaels School in Jackfish, SK,and then the family moved to Meotawhere her dad was employed withthe department of highways. Shefinished her schooling in Meota. Shewas always working at odd jobs afterschool to help out at home. She wasalways after her sisters and brothersto pick up after themselves. She wasknown as “Mrs. Clean”. Granny andher brothers and sisters had fundriving their dad’s car around theyard. This is until Granny ran intothe wood pile. That ended thedriving. Granny and her siblingswere creative in entertainingthemselves. They spent many hoursplaying hit the can, hide and seekand putting on their own rodeos. Asa teenager Granny stayed out oftrouble because she was too busywith school, working and helpingout at home with the youngersiblings. Granny met, Metro RichardGabruck. They were married July18, 1955 at All Saints UkrainianChurch in North Battleford,Saskatchewan. The day waseventful. Granny got dressed inMeota, but was left there whileeveryone went to North Battlefordfor a wedding with no bride. Thewedding was late, but it eventuallydid take place and lasted 53 years.Once they were married, they settledin Meota, SK. This is where theystarted their life together. Grannyand Grandpa were blessed April 27,1956 with a baby girl Connie Jeanneand then blessed again with twinboys Terrance Richard andLawrence William on June 21, 1959.This rounded out their family. Overthe next 5 years they would move to3 different homes within Meota.Then they moved out to the “Farm”.This is where they would reside forthe next 25 years. She enjoyed thecattle on the farm. They raised theirchildren there. Granny spent hersummers in the massive gardenbeside their house. Granny had astubborn streak; there was debateover the dishwasher. Granny wasadamant that they didn’t need adishwasher. Grandpa was sick ofseeing the dishes piling up so...oneday he went out and bought her adishwasher. Hmmmmm...imaginethat she grew to love the dishwasherand every house thereafter had adishwasher. I am lucky to say thatthis is a trait that I inherited fromher. Then they decided that theywould try life on the other side ofthe river. So they moved to the‘acreage’ by Delmas. They took ongutting and renovating the house,making sure that Granny had herlarge kitchen for entertaining.

Granny loved entertaining andhaving lots of company. Then theydecided that the drive was just toomuch and they made the move toNorth Battleford. Granny workedhard all her life; she started workingas a telephone operator at the Meotatelephone office. But Granny alwayshad to help people so she decidedthat nursing would be the career forher. She then spent 25 years nursingat Battlefords Union Hospital from1969 - 1994. She retired from theBattlefords Union Hospital,but...wasn’t ready to retire so sheworked another 3 years at the VillaPascal. She dedicated her life tocaring for others. Granny actuallynever did retire from nursing. Shewas always ‘on call’ for anyone whowas feeling under the weather. Iremember calling, “Granny, my sonKendall isn’t breathingwell”...needless to say we spentmany Friday nights in the hospitalwaiting to see the doctor. She wasalways there to nurse anyone backto health, whether it was at her houseor bringing hot soup to a person inneed. As grandchildren we werealways treated to a warm bubblebath, and some powder. Then shewould put us in our freshly washedPJ’s and we would crawl into bed,usually with her, as she always hadthe TV in her room. Granny spenther spare time doing crafts, makingfloral arrangements and interiordecorating. She loved gardening andhad an awesome yard. She also tookto scrap booking which was apassion we both shared. Granny andGrandpa both loved to fish at theNorth Saskatchewan River. Theyloved to take us grandchildren withthem also. I never did believe therewere any fish in that river, becauseof the fact that I never caughtanything. Some of the other thingsthat Granny enjoyed doing werepraying the rosary. She also enjoyedwalking when she lived on theacreage in Delmas, she would walkto the highway and back, everynight...well almost every night.Granny was notorious for worryingabout us. She would call us often tosee how we were. She was alwaysthere to help if we needed her. Whenwe went to visit her and we left shealways made us call her when wegot home, so she knew we were safe.She always was praying for us;especially when things weren’tgoing well. She was always there tohelp us if we needed her. Our Grannywas always there for us. AlthoughGranny was raised in a French home,she mastered cooking Ukrainianfoods, such as perogies and cabbagerolls. She was always saying “youbarely ate” after we had alreadydestroyed 15 perogies and somehowGranny always persuaded us intoanother serving. Granny could cook!When we got older and had movedfrom home we would drive the‘miles’ to come home for Granny’shome cooked meals. We wouldcome for supper complete with ourtake home containers. It was alwaysa fight for the leftovers. Grannyalways make sure that all of herguests were well fed andaccommodated. It was amazing howcompany just seemed to usuallyarrive around 4:00, just in time for

supper. Granny was creative andeveryone went home full. Grannylived by the rule, “you are only asold as you feel”, and we oftenthought of our Granny as our bestfriend. We remember her singingand dancing down the hall to Brooksand Dunn playing on CMT. Just acouple months ago Granny gave ussome make up tips and asked if wewere really going to leave the house“like that!” She fixed me right upthat day. Time spent with Grannywas always exciting and full ofconversation, laughter and love.Granny loved when hergrandchildren and greatgrandchildren would come to visit.There was always room for us in herhouse. We stayed with Granny andGrandpa many nights. She wouldjust take us shopping, to the gardenwith her, or craft with her. We alsoplayed a lot of card games with her.As adults we now realize that shemust have made her own rulessometimes. In Kaiser, you passed notone card but two.

Checking in with Maggie LawsonBy Jay Bobbin© Zap2it

Maggie Lawson has plenty of rea-son to be psyched.

The appealing actress is enjoy-ing her longest series run to date as Santa Barbara, Calif., police detective Juliet O’Hara on the USA Network comedy-mystery series “Psych.” And she’s getting extra exposure through the show’s just-started Sunday broad-cast run on NBC.

“I got the script for this show, and I was like, ‘This couldn’t be a bet-ter fit for me,’ ” says Lawson, whose character remains skeptical of self-proclaimed psychic Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and his sleuthing pal Gus (Dule Hill). “I love comedy, but I was looking to do something that was a departure from that as well. I re-member calling my agent and saying, ‘I have to do this.’ ”

Lawson’s turn in “Psych” follows her stints in the sitcoms “Inside Schwartz,” “It’s All Relative” and “Crumbs.” She also played teen in-

vestigator Nancy Drew in a 2002 TV movie, and she ad-mits when “Psych” began, “I was very young to be playing a detective, so I think we were all afraid to show her messing up.

She needed to make her splash as a serious detective.

“Now you can see that Juliet is still trying to figure out her place. That’s when we get to know her the best, that’s when audiences can relate to her the most, and that’s where the comedy comes from.” It also stems often from O’Hara’s interaction with uptight police partner Lassiter (Timo-thy Omundson).

NBC’s “Psych” airings are replays of episodes already shown on USA, and Lawson allows the broadcast networks rarely consider “crime shows as comedic. It’ll be really inter-esting to see what the response is, but we’re all pumped. I feel very con-fident about it.”

Birth date: Aug, 12, 1980.Birthplace: Louisville, Ky.Current residences: Los Ange-

les and Vancouver, Canada.Marital status: Single, but dating

co-star James Roday.Other television credits:

“Crumbs,” “It’s All Relative,” “Inside Schwartz,” “Tru Calling,” “Smallville,” “Rules of Engagement,” “ER,” “Felic-ity,” “Party of Five,” “Home Improve-ment,” “Step by Step,” “Boy Meets World,” “Unhappily Ever After,” “Love Rules,” “Heart of a Stranger,” “Model Behavior,” “I’ve Been Waiting for You.”

Movie credits: “Pleasantville,” “Cheats,” “Winter Break,” “Cleaner.”

On working with Roday: “He’s always thinking, always developing, always exploring. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve known.”

By Jay Bobbin© Zap2it

Q: Is it true that Jesse L. Martin is leav-ing ‘‘Law & Order”? -Erin Binford,

Denver

A: It is. The actor an-

nounced in Febru-ary that he’ll depart the long-running NBC series after this season, having played New York police detective Ed Green for nine years. Reportedly, he’ll be replaced by Anthony Anderson, who also began the current television season as a cop on the Fox show ‘‘K-Ville.”

Q: What was the last series Dana Delany was on before she joined ‘‘Desperate

Housewives”? -Peter Hopper, Chicago

A: The show was ‘‘Kidnapped,” the serial-ized 2006-07 NBC drama that got com-

pressed when low ratings prompted the network to let producers know the show’s cancellation was imminent. Delany played the mother of the abducted boy (portrayed by Will Denton) at the heart of the saga.

Interestingly, Delany auditioned to be part of the original cast of ‘‘Desperate Housewives.” She tested for the role of Bree, then turned it down when it was offered. (It later went, of course, to Marcia Cross.)

Q: What is the name of the movie about an elderly man who rode across a state

on a lawn mower to see his sick brother, and what is the name of the actor who played the main part? -John Erwin, Paris, Texas

A: It was the 1999 drama ‘‘The Straight Story,” directed by ‘‘Twin Peaks” mentor

David Lynch. The late Richard Farnsworth, who was Oscar-nominated for the performance, had the lead role.

Q: What is the name of the actress who played Kirsten’s half sister on ‘‘The

O.C.”? And what is she doing now? -Goldie Shear, Tampa, Fla.

A: Shannon Lucio played Lindsay Gardner, the half sister. (Hold those e-mails: Hailey

Nichol, played by Amanda Righetti, was Kirsten’s full-fledged younger sister by the same mother and father.) Lucio almost was seen in a series again this season; she originally was the leading lady in CBS’ ‘‘Moonlight,” which was clear from the initial presentation made to advertisers last year, but the part was recast with Sophia Myles before the series began.

San Antonio native Lucio also was featured in last year’s movie ‘‘Feast of Love,” with Greg Kin-near and Morgan Freeman; it’s now out on video. And she has another shot at a Fox series, since she’s made the pilot for a supernatural drama titled ‘‘The Oaks.”

Q: What happened to the actor Jeffrey Hunter after he starred in the movie

‘‘The Searchers’? -John Allen, Whittemore, Mich.

A: He had many more acting roles after he made that classic 1956 Western, which

has been turning up lately on AMC. Among the more notable films were ‘‘The Last Hurrah” (1958), ‘‘Sergeant Rutledge‘‘ (1960) - which re-teamed Hunter with ‘‘Searchers”‘ director John Ford - ‘‘King of Kings” (1961) and ‘‘The Longest Day” (1962).

Arguably the most-remembered role Hunter had in the last stage of his career, though, was Capt. Christopher Pike in the legendary ‘‘Star Trek” episode ‘‘The Cage.” The actor died of a stroke at age 42 in Los Angeles on May 27, 1969.

Our precious Little Angel,He could not stay long.

Enough to steal ourhearts away

Then force us to be strong.Enough to showus in a glimpse,

How wonderful life can beAnd how no wealth or

worldly good,Could take the place of thee.

Little Angel in a cloudLooking down upon his family,

Feeling forever proudThat for a time,however short,

He had the chance to beOur precious Little Angel,

So beautiful to see.

We will loveyou forever!
