Shellbrook Chronicle April 27th

The students and staff of Shellbrook Elementary School sent a clear message on their stance on bullying April 19 as a sea of pink flooded the school for Pink Shirt Day.

Through the day, classrooms were filled with pink and red shirts as a sign that bullying will not be tolerated by stu-dents or teachers.

“I was tremendously impressed with our students when almost all the stu-dents showed up the next day wearing pink. They demonstrated that they are not going to allow bullying to happen,” said Shellbrook Elementary Principal Dwayne Tournier.

Festivities began Wednesday April 18 with an assembly on bullying and an explanation of Pink Shirt Day.

This presentation concluded by a chal-lenge to all students to wear a pink or red shirt to school Thursday to combat bullying.

“I told them that the next day is Pink Shirt Day and if they want to say Bullying Stops Here, they are to wear a pink shirt,” said Tournier.

Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 in Nova Scotia when a pair of Central Kings Rural High School grade 12 students, David Shepard and Travis Price, organized a form of protest in response to the bully-ing of a new grade 9 student for wearing a pink shirt to school.

They purchased 50 pink tank tops and distributed them to all the boys in their school who wore them as a sign of soli-darity against the harassment that the boy had been the victim of. The message was

received and the bullying ceased.The story garnered national media

attention and Pink Shirt Day has since come to be celebrated across the country and around the world spawning numer-

ous anti-bullying events in February and in April.

Throughout the province, more than 11,000 students from 350 schools partici-pated in the campaign.

Disrupted emergency service at Shellbrook Hospital over the weekend

Pink shirt day in Shellbrook

A lack of physician coverage will cause yet another disruption to the Emergency Department at the Shellbrook Hospital over the weekend. Coverage will not be available the weekend April 27 to 29, 2012.

Emergency Services at the Shellbrook Hospital will be available from Saturday, April 28th at 8 a.m. until Sunday, April 29th at 8 a.m. The service will not be available the remainder of the weekend.

The regular weekend schedule will resume on Friday, May 4, 2012, with weekend service beginning Friday from 6 p.m. until the following Monday morning at 8 a.m. Ambulance services are avail-able 24-hours per day, and will bypass Shellbrook Hospital from Sundays at midnight to Fridays at 6 p.m..

Acute care service disruptions at the Shellbrook Hospital began on August 2, 2011 following the departure of three

resident physicians and a locum doctor from the community.

Currently:• Inpatient acute care is not pro-

vided until a sustainable physician on-call rotation can be maintained.

• The inpatient beds are being uti-lized for non-acute patients, including individuals who are waiting for place-ment in long-term care facilities.

The Region, in partnership with the Town of Shellbrook, is operating a pri-mary health care clinic with visiting phy-sicians, primarily from Prince Albert, as well as a nurse practitioner. This clinic is located in the current physician clinic location across from the Shellbrook Hospital. The hours of operation at the two medical clinics is 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays, excluding statutory holiday. Area residents can call one of the two medical clinics for appointments:

• Shellbrook Medical Clinic, with Dr. Nguegno, at 306.747.2171, or

• Shellbrook Primary Care Clinic at 306.747.2552.

If individuals want information outside of regular clinic hours, they are encour-aged to call Saskatchewan HealthLine for medical advice 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. The HealthLine number is 1-877-800-0002. The HealthLine is a toll-free health advice line that is staffed by Registered Nurses. They can provide you with immediate, professional health advice or information, and direct you to the most appropriate source of care. HealthLine will help you decide whether you should treat your own symptoms, go to a clinic, wait to see your doctor, or go to a hospital emergency room. HealthLine is also available online at www.health.gov.sk.ca/healthline

Any emergency condition CALL 911.

The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region took the opportunity to recognize its volunteers at a presentation and variety show at Parkland Terrace April 23.

PAPHR Director of Volunteer Services Sonya Jahn emceed the event, held in conjunction with National Volunteer Week, to recognize those who donate their time to make the lives of others better.

She said that without volunteers in the heath regions facilities residents and patients would like-ly miss out on many of the extras that volunteers bring to the table.

“It is so important to have volunteers through-out our health facilities simply because our staff are working really hard with their day to day work but often its the extras that could not be done with-out the work of the volun-

teers,” said Jahn. From the Grade 2 stu-

dents who go to Parkland Terrace to visit the resi-dents each month to musi-cians who visit and pro-vide entertainment, their small efforts make a huge impact on the lives of oth-ers.

Volunteers of all ages turned out to the recogni-tion event, which also saw a number of groups and organizations receive long service awards.

One of those recipi-ents was Tina Budan, who received recognition for 20 years of service.

Budan began volun-teering during her years working in home care and after her retirement she continued because she saw that the need was there.

Those who had a dif-ficult time running errands often counted on Budan to help them get to where they needed to go

“There was so many that had doctors appoint-ments and banking to do so I’d fill my van up and I’d bring them in. They’d say,

here comes Tina with her entourage,” said Budan.

Jahn said that the region encourages volunteers to

start young in hopes that they will become life long volunteers while also giv-ing youth an insiders view

of the health care field. “We want to encour-

age our young people to perhaps pursue a career in health care. While they are volunteering they get to make a positive difference in somebody else’s life but they also have the opportu-nity to observe the differ-ent professions that are out there,” said Jahn, adding that many of their grade 12 volunteers have reported that they will be pursuing careers in health care.

The afternoon provided including Pam Boettcher’s Grade 5 choir, the stringed sounds of Marj Bradley and Pat Sonntag as well as a group of singers, many of whom were recognized for their volunteer efforts that afternoon.

Similar events took place in communi-ties across the health region through National Volunteer Week.

Young adults are vulnerable

to skin cancer

Older adults are not the

only demographic being warned about over expo-sure to the sun. Did you know that melanoma is the most common form of can-cer for young adults in the age group 25 to 29? Young women are especially vul-nerable.

Health professionals suggest that you check your skin monthly. Pay special attention to an increase in the number, shape, and co-lour of spots, and to sores or moles that don’t heal. The sun care specialists at Neutrogena also remind us of the progress in sun-screens today. Sunscreens with ‘helioplex’ technol-ogy, for example, target the “broad-spectrum of ultraviolet rays” to provide consistent, photostable UVA and UVB protection.

Even better, the facial sunscreens today include replenishing agents, like those in Neutrogena Age Shield Face Moisturizing Repair.

This product contains soy and moisturizing an-tioxidants to help reverse and prevent the look of fi ne lines, wrinkles and an uneven skin tone. Its conditioners hydrate and replenish for softness and leave skin protected from environmental aggressors.

Sunday, April 22 was a very special day of worship at Knox United Church. Three people were con-firmed into the faith of the

Christian Church; Linda Mason, Natalie Wall, and

Kassandra Stene. Also on Sunday,

Larry Chalifour, Linda Bator, Wendy Otterson,

and Hugh Otterson were accepted as members of Knox United by the trans-fer of their memberships.

Pastor Dave Whalley said, “We know God is well pleased whenev-er someone comes and joins a faith community. Whenever seven people, on a Sunday, make that commitment, we know that God must be smiling.”

Justice Minister Don Morgan today announced the appointment of the three-member Constitu-ency Boundaries Commis-sion that will redraw the constituency boundaries for provincial elections.

Under The Constituen-cy Boundaries Act, 1993, the government appoints a commission to redraw the boundaries every 10 years after the release of the Census. The commission will ensure that the new boundaries result in rough-ly an equal number of vot-ers in each constituency. An exception is made for the two constituencies in the far north, which are al-lowed to have fewer voters due to their sparse popula-tion and large geographic area.

Justice Neil Gabrielson of the Court of Queen’s Bench, Saskatoon, has been named Chair of the Commission by the Chief Justice of Saskatchewan.

As has been the prac-tice in the past, the govern-ment nominated one com-mission member and the Offi cial Opposition nomi-nated the other member.

The government nomi-nee is Stuart Pollon, a chartered accountant, cer-tifi ed public accountant and partner with KPMG in Regina. Pollon also served on the last Constituency Boundaries Commission in 2002.

The Offi cial Opposi-tion nominated Harry Van Mulligen of Regina, who was an MLA from 1986 to 2009 and held several cabinet posts, including Fi-nance and Social Services.

The Commission will produce an interim report within three months and a fi nal report within six months. It may hold public hearings as it deems ap-propriate. The Chief Elec-toral Offi cer will provide technical assistance to the Commission.

It is expected that the Commission’s fi nal report will be adopted by the Legislative Assembly and the new boundaries will come into effect in the next provincial election. Until then, the current boundar-ies remain in effect.

PUBLIC NOTICERural Municipality of Big River, No. 555

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the RM of Big River, No. 555 in-tends to adopt bylaws pursuant to Section 207 of the Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 6/99 known as the Zoning Bylaw.INTENTThe proposed zoning bylaw amendments will:1.

Appointment of constituency boundaries commission


In this day and age there seems to be a new cause for every week on the calendar. Whether it is awareness for some illness, recognition for some type of vocation or celebration of recreation there is a day or week desig-nated for it.

Some say that with every cause getting their own time to celebrate these days tend to carry less and less weight as time goes on.

Some I think we could really do with out while others serve as very important reminders

The causes celebrated over the past couple of weeks are two we really shouldn’t do without.

Late last week, schools across the province observed Pink Shirt Day, a protest against bullying.

The cause began when a grade 9 student from Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. A pair of grade 12 students took it upon themselves to buy 50 pink tank tops from a discount store to pass out to ever male student in the school.

This lead to the bullying to stop while the bullied child got to feel like he was a part of something bigger. The story caught fire in the media and the cause spread across the country and around the world.

Nobody, adult, child, man or woman should have to tolerate being bullied and pink shirt day brings that message to the forefront. The more that the message is spread and ingrained in our consciousness, the better this world will be.

Meanwhile, over the past week, the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region recognized their various vol-unteers with recognition events at facilities across the region in conjunction with National Volunteer Week.

Staff at our health care facilities do a great job of looking after the needs of patients and residents but they can only do so much. They have a job to do and aren’t really paid to entertain or otherwise dote on their charges.

Enter the volunteer to make the life of that patient or resident just a little bit better. They take a little time out of their day and put in a little effort to make a huge difference.

This extends beyond health facilities and into every facet of our lives. From Minor Sports to service clubs, volunteers make things happen in small towns to large metropolitan cities.

To recognize the people that simply give for the sake of giving without expecting anything in return is of utmost importance. Though they expect nothing, to recognize their good deeds makes doing it all the more worthwhile.

The reality is that society often has a knee jerk reac-tion to many things in life and as a result, that topic or issue becomes the most important one to those interested. With the multitude of varied interests by the 7 billion people inhabiting the globe we are going to have a lot of issues coming onto our radar. Sometimes it is difficult to filter out what is important and what is simply today’s buzz word cause.

Opinions

Taking up a good cause

It`s called venture capital without the capital.The power of mentoring is well-established in the

business world as today`s commercial leaders devote some of their energy to helping the next generation find their sea legs. But there is a story in the emerging world that has taken it to a new level.

Basically, it is a company called Endeavor Global started by a New Yorker named Linda Rottenburg that provides entrepreneurs in emerging economies with advice and support, not money. In the 20 years since she`s started, her proté-gés have created 130,000 jobs and $3.5 billion in sales. Noted writer Thomas Friedman has called it the best anti-poverty pro-gram in the world as it nurtures the entrepreneurial spirit that already exists in these economies….it just provides it with the fertilizer needed to flourish.

Rottenberg, a Yale law graduate, has become a global leader in something called social entrepreneurship where the best aspects of commercial success are coupled with community and public sector objectives designed to help people help themselves in securing financial self-sufficiency.

* * *There`s just no substitute for investment.This is the economic driver that has probably had more

to do with the changes we`ve seen in Saskatchewan`s economy in the last five years than anything. Much of the investment we`ve seen – roughly three times the his-torical average in this province – has been driven by the resource sector. New money going into mine develop-ment, the oil patch, refineries and so on has fundamen-tally changed Saskatchewan`s economic landscape.

One element of that investment equation is build-ing construction. This includes all the buildings we`ve

erected to support the growth triggered by the expanding resource activity…things such as offices and schools and so on.

In the first three months of the year nearly half a billion dollars has been directed to non-residential

construction, roughly 10 per cent ahead of last year`s pace. The big contributor is public sector activ-ity. Construction of hospitals and schools and so on was up more than 15 per cent as the government tries to catch up to population growth triggered by private sector expansion.

* * *With all the talk around foreign investment following

the takeover bid for Viterra and the earlier one involving PotashCorp, it is interesting to see just how much foreign money is coming into the country and how much we’re spending abroad.

The most recent figures currently available cover the third quarter of last year. In that time we saw Canadians upping their investment in the United States. IT’s the biggest destination for our investors, accounting for nearly half of our foreign holdings, with financial man-agement companies attracting the most interest. It’s also intriguing to find out that Barbados is one of the hottest investment locales for us.

On the other side of the coin, Americans are the big-gest investors in Canadian holdings with the Netherlands maintaining its long established second place standing. They’ve been buying into our manufacturing sector as well as the resource sector.

What these figures show is that foreign investment plays a big role in our economy and generally goes along unseen until a high profile takeover grabs the headlines.

ViewpointRitz’s ag cuts not in farmers’ interests

To suggest that the federal Conserva-tive government are taking its rural Sas-katchewan base for granted might be seen by some as a tad unfair.

Supporters will point to the end of the gun registry and improvements in other agricultural programs as evidence that this federal government is in touch with the needs and wants of rural people. They might even point to the demise of the Ca-nadian Wheat Board as a single-desk sell-er as more evidence of how Conservatives better understand true core rural values.

It does seem evident that a lot of city people never fully understood just what it was about the CWB that was such an irri-tant to farmers. But must city people don’t ship and sell grain for a living, do they?

However, in that same vein, most poli-ticians don’t farm for a living. And even if they once did, the actions of politicians are generally governed by what’s in their own political interest rather than that of those they purport to represent. So one gets a tad uneasy when one starts hear-ing from politicians about how much they truly understand the needs in a complex

industry like agriculture and what’s best for farmers.

Some of the post budget comments from federal Agricul-ture Minister Gerry Ritz were ample cause for that un-easiness. In fact, they have one wondering whether the federal Conservatives are truly as in touch with rural Saskatchewan as they claim to be.

The fi rst issue is the decision to close down by the end of next year Indian Head’s Agroforestry Development Centre that runs the Prairie Shelterbelt Program.

“Farmers don’t farm like they did 100 years ago,” Ritz told reporters shortly af-ter the decision. “We want to make sure we’re focusing on the right programs for tomorrow’s agriculture.”

And in a letter to the Regina Leader-Post responding to business editor Bruce Johnstone’s criticism of the decision, Ritz went further by saying “farmers run their

businesses with a sharp pencil and expect their government to do the same” and the tree farm “has met its goal of creating

shelter belts across the Prairies.”

Well, let’s aside for a mo-ment that pencils have to be sharp-ened because of fi ve years of Con-servative minority government over-

spending largely aimed at buying Eastern Canadian votes. Why should the shelterbelt program be the fi rst to go? And who is saying it’s not needed and that it’s somehow met its goal? Farmers I know still value and recognize its contribution. And why wouldn’t they?

Known for decades as the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, the PFRA emerged out of the recognition that something had to be done to protect and conserve Saskatchewan soils after the dustbowl of the 1930s. But the tree farm goes back much further than that _

to 1901 when it was the Indian Head tree farm. In that time, some 650 million seed-lings have been grown for use in areas with little or no trees.

Yes, practices like direct seeding that now allows for stubble coverage to con-serve moisture and prevent wind erosion have greatly reduced the problems of the 1930s. But so have shelterbelts and the simple fact of the matter is that farmers could and should do both.

After all, even those don’t that don’t buy into the notion of global warming causing hotter, drier farming conditions on the Prairies, surely we recognize the historic cycles of drought and recognize the devastation caused by wind erosion and unpredictable snow cover.

Adding insult to injury in a federal budget were cuts to agriculture research and pending closure of 60 federal-govern-ment-run community pastures.

Were the interests of farmers and ranchers taken into account here? Or are Ritz and the Conservatives a little less in touch than the claim to be?

Dear Editor:Re: Petition to bring in

Lindsey’s LawCurrently, in Canada,

there are approximately 600 unidentified human remains, kept at various coroners offices across Canada. New federal government legislation would allow DNA from the human remains to be connected with voluntary human DNA, gathered from family members of missing persons. There would be a DNA data base to keep all of this informa-tion. There are estimated to be 7,000 long term missing people in Canada. Most people are under the impression that this proce-dure is already being done. It’s common sense. Just recently, the United States

moved to set up a similar data base for unidentified human remains in the U.S.

If a DNA missing per-son data base was in oper-ation, the identities of the now unidentified human remains could be discov-ered. And there would be closure for the fam-ily members, with proper burials for the deceased. If there was foul play involved in a death, there is the possibility that the perpetrator of the mur-der would be discovered. Without an identity of the victim, police are often at a loss where to go to com-pare DNA data to solve a crime.

Serial killers could be exposed more quickly, than otherwise would be the case, should not DNA

reference data bases be available for police use. Many deaths of Canadians could be prevented.

For some reason, the government of Canada requires a petition of 60,000 names Canada wide in order for them to act to bring in legislation to create the DNA data base. The United States moved recently to bring in such a data base, and the identities of many of their unidentified remains are now known.

I am gathering signa-tures for the petition to be sent to Ottawa. We need people to set up petition posts in their own commu-nities. I can be contacted at Victoire at 306-724-4900 if people would like to be agents for the petition. I

can send a starting petition and some basic rules about signature, etc.

The petition has the text of the petition avail-able for the signers view-ing. Then when the peti-tion is complete, it can be mailed free of charge to the coordinating member of parliament. We would like to have them in by the first week of May.

Dear Editor,When undertaking the

most expensive military procurement ever, respect for hard-earned taxpayer dollars should be priority number one. But when it comes to the costs of the F-35 stealth fi ghter jets, Rob Clarke and the Con-servative Party failed to be up front with Canadians.

But the recent Auditor General’s report has shred-ded the Conservatives’ de-ception about the project: Stephen Harper low-balled Canadians on the project’s

total cost.The report confi rms

the government knew the F-35 would cost $25 bil-lion, but told Canadians $15 billion—$10 billion less. That’s a $10 billion mismanagement of your money.

Nearly two years ago, the Liberals fi rst raised a red fl ag about these con-cerns— only to meet with Conservative denials and deception.

Mr. Clarke and the Conservative Party must stop being reckless with

your tax dollars. Cana-da should hold an open competition to secure the planes our troops need at the right price.

Yours sincerely,John McKay, Defence

Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, the world’s largest auctioneer of farm, construction and other heavy equipment, conduct-ed its largest Saskatchewan auction selling more than CA$25 million (US$25 million) of equipment at its grand re-opening auc-tion in Saskatoon, SK on April 18, 2012.

In total, more than 1,900 agricultural and other industrial equipment items were sold at this one-day unreserved public auction—a new Saskatoon

site record. Every item was sold to the highest bid-der, regardless of price—without minimum bids or reserve prices. Bids were made in the auction on-site, online in real time at www.rbauction.com or by proxy.

“Since 2006, when we conducted our first auc-tion at our Saskatoon site, we’ve experienced increasing demand to hold larger auctions here,” said Jordan Clarke, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers.

“Because of this demand we invested in new auction facilities, includ-ing a new auction building that’s nearly twice the size of the old one with seat-ing for more than 1,000 people. Our customers responded to this invest-ment by participating in our largest auction ever in Saskatoon—thank you so much to our buyers, sell-ers and the community of Saskatchewan that we are proud to be part of.”

More than 3,950 peo-ple from 23 countries, including eight Canadian provinces and two ter-ritories registered to bid in person or online in the auction—this is a new Saskatoon site record for number of registered bid-ders. Bidders from outside Saskatchewan purchased more than CA$6 million

(US$6 million) or 25 per-cent of total gross auction proceeds. More than 1,600 of the bidders taking part in the auction registered to

bid online and purchased more than CA$7 million (US$7 million) of equip-ment available online—these are both new

Saskatoon site records for number of online bidders and online gross auction proceeds.

On Saturday, April 21, a 30 year celebration took place at Coles Bookstore in Prince Albert.

In the celebration, there was the opportunity for people to meet and greet local authors.

Fraser says, “The store manager of Coles contact-ed some of the local au-thors to celebrate the day, by coming to the store to spend a few hours to sign our books”.

Fraser says, “Its been a while to have the oppor-tunity once again to sign books. The last time I was here it was about 15 years or so ago.

“I can only speak for myself, personally I fi nd it quite an honor to have your work displayed on the shelf and having the public to come and sup-port it. I have to thank my readers. However, I have to admit it was rather nice to kind of enjoy a relaxed afternoon and be available

to meet some of the cus-tomers.” Fraser signed her recent book called “Right from the Heart”. Shelley’s

books are still available at Coles Bookstore at $10.

Fraser is currently or-ganizing another book,

which should be available in a couple months..

The future of agricul-ture has long looked bright.

I recall futurist and economist Lowell Catlett spoke in Yorkton years ago with a presentation he titled ‘The Future Is So Bright You’ll Have to Wear Shades’.

It was an impassioned talk which left an indelible impression on this writer.

I was enthralled by the ideas Catlett spoke of, in particular with what he saw as the future associ-ated with genetic modifi -cation.

The idea of GM has been something many in the world balk at, but hear-ing ideas from Catlett in-cluding some still more fi c-tion that science probably struck a chord for me be-cause of my love of specu-lative fi ction. Still the idea of goats being modifi ed to have high-value cheetah skin has stuck with me.

Now of course GM hasn’t evolved that far -- yet.

But listening to Robert Saik CEO with the Agri-Trend group of companies speak to the Yorkton Rota-ry Club Farmer Apprecia-tion Night, the importance of GM is still to be fully realized.

Saik is defi nitely a man who sees a farm future which is blazingly bright. In fact he looks at most things in the world and fi nds the silver lining.

It’s hard to argue with his rationale. Saik points to some rather compel-ling statistics including the longer life expectancy of almost everyone in the world. That factor alone speaks to humanity doing something right.

When you add in, as Saik did, the sheer volume of knowledge being cre-ated daily in our world you

tend to hold out hope the cracks which are showing in the world can be fi xed. The problem may simply be the will and to focus that knowledge to effect the changes we need.

Global climate change is a fact, whether you be-lieve it’s a natural evolu-tion of things, or caused by humanity. Either way, some of what humanity does has its impact, but at present the world can’t even get on side with re-gards to what needs to be done, and when it needs to be done?

The United States, which is a leader in the world, has balked at the cost associated with truly addressing greenhouse gas emissions. A stance Can-ada has been sadly eager to mimic. Until countries such as the U.S. and China take the leap change will not occur.

Of course even if the U.S. fi nally found a con-science, their economy is in such bad shape, afford-ing the massive change needed would be a massive challenge.

Back to farming di-

rectly, there are limited regions of the world ca-pable of producing enough grain to export, the Ca-nadian Prairies being a leader amongst those. As population grows, so does food demand, which will challenge farmers to grow production to meet those needs.

Precision farming, al-lowing precise applica-tions of nutrients and crop protection products, coupled with GM hold the hope of meeting increased production needs.

But precision farming, while offering in crop sav-ings does come with an im-plementation cost, which somewhere along the way the consumer needs to pay. In North America and Eu-rope that might be all right, although shaky U.S. and European economies sug-

gest short term concerns too, but much of the world struggles to afford food.

Some way of equal-izing wealth is something hardly anyone talks about, although the rich continue to get richer and the poor are left even further be-hind.

Living longer and hav-ing access to a growing volume of knowledge is great, but humanity has to work harder to address the hard issues ahead, or the good times hungry mouths could mean for farming may never be realized.

Some areas of the north-ern part of Saskatchewan have had a relatively dry fall and below average snow cover. Planting cere-als this spring can offer many feeding options for livestock owners.

Seeding cereals this spring for early spring grazing can decrease graz-ing pressure on permanent pastures. In the Aspen parkland many cool season perennials produce 60% of their seasonal production before July 1st. If a per-manent pasture is already stressed from too much grazing, early spring graz-ing will decrease seasonal growth. A rule of thumb is for every day you delay grazing of a permanent pasture in the spring, you gain three additional days of grazing in the fall.

Seeding oats or barley two to three weeks apart in the spring can allow for different grazing start dates and assists in stretch-ing out the grazing sea-son. As the season seeding date is delayed, yields will decrease. At several sites in Central and Northern Alberta, research showed

that mid June plantings of barley and oats yielded 60% and 75% respective-ly of mid May plantings. Grazing of oats and barley should start when they are 10 inches high. They need about six weeks to grow and fill in the rows before they can be grazed.

Spring seeded winter cereals such as fall rye, winter wheat and winter triticale will grow slower than oats or barley. They need at least six inches of growth before being grazed in the spring. The pasture yield of spring seeded fall rye; winter wheat and triti-cale are similar.

If moisture is available, these winter cereals will grow well into the last half of the season. They may be grazed and used again next spring saving reseed-ing costs.

Alberta research found the yield per acre of win-ter wheat and fall rye increased significantly when grazing occurred one week out of the month as opposed to every sec-ond week or every week. Splitting a winter cereal field into four plots, and then grazing a plot for one week and then resting it for three weeks will prove

to be the most productive.During the spring,

grass and cereal grams are immature, growing rap-idly and having their low-est magnesium content. Grass tetany is caused by hypomagnesaemia, or low blood magnesium. In spring, a cow’s demand for magnesium is at its high-est, from calving to two months postpartum. As well, these immature cere-al grains are high in potas-sium, which interferes with the availability of calcium and magnesium. Prevention of tetany can be attempted by adding calcium and magnesium to mineral mixes and ensur-ing the transition from dif-ferent feeds is done gradu-ally. This can be accom-plished by supplementing with dry hay at the start.

Spring seeded cere-als also offer the option of being used for green feed or swath grazing if required. Greenfeed bales could be transferred to a wintering site on a perma-nent pasture. They could be placed in brush areas, poplar sapling areas or weedy areas to temporar-ily set back the growth of these undesirable species. In other areas of the per-

manent pasture the yield will be increased from the manure and greenfeed res-idues from bale grazing. Swath grazing allows flex-ibility in planning. The date when grazing will commence can be deter-mined and the number of days the herd can stay on the field can be estimated.

Another option for a spring seeded cereal is silage. Weed pressure may be decreased on the field when all the plants are harvested. Barley is generally preferred over oats when making silage. Some producers are using mixtures of spring and winter cereals seeded together. This allows har-vesting the spring cereal for silage first then graz-ing the winter cereal in the fall.

Planting a cereal this spring for livestock feed is a short term land use commitment. It provides a livestock producer many options and could be con-sidered this spring. For more information on this or other forage related top-ics, contact your Regional Forage Specialist at 446 – 7650 or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

The lines of dream and reality blurred as the WP Sandin Drama Club staged their latest produc-tion “Wake up call” at the Shellbrook Theatre April 24.

Teacher director, Wade Reddekopp said that the club opted for a small scale production due to a

lower availability of cast.“Our numbers are

about a third to a half of what they normally are and we are losing a good portion of this group next year,” said Reddekopp.

However, a smaller cast did not mean less enter-tainment. The show served as live tune up heading into

this weekend’s Regional Drama Festival in Tisdale.

The play follows the life of Jim, played by Evan Beaulieu, who can’t seem to separate dream from reality as exhaustion keeps him from studying for an important exam. A homi-cidal girlfriend (Hayley Galbraith), an overly flirty

mother (Sarah Bilyk) and an alternate universe where he has his own per-sonal chorus are just some of the scenarios Jim con-tends with in his dream state. Galbraith and Zach Person served

Looking to next year, Reddekopp expects that the club will be doing something very different from what has been done in the past. With many of their senior actors graduat-ing he would like to see the school take on a large scale production staged for a local audience and take a pass on regionals.

“Just to build our base

again. It could be a large scale production involving both older and younger kids,” said Reddekopp.

Some of the financial pressure was taken off of the club with a generous donation from Investors Group. Paul Bourgeault and Paul Beaulieu pre-sented a $500 cheque, as a part of the local group’s community matching grant program, to help offset the costs staging the produc-tion and taking part in Regionals and possibly Provincials in Regina if the club were to advance.

“I know the students really enjoy going to

Regionals. It would be nice to win one year and to go on to provincials,” said Reddekopp.

The donation matched funds raised the evening of the production to a maximum of $500. This came at just the right time, according to Reddekopp, because with fewer partici-pants in the production the fund raising task becomes all the more daunting.

“I know we certainly needed it this year because we’re down in numbers so our fund raising’s down a little bit,” said Reddekopp.

The cheque was one of 10 available Community Matching Grants available through the local Investors Group for 2012. The donation matches, to a maximum of $500, the funds raised through the hosting of the dessert theatre.

(NC)— Are you avoiding eggs be-cause of concerns about cholesterol? Ex-perts agree that dietary cholesterol, like that found in eggs, has little effect on blood cholesterol levels. It’s the saturat-ed and trans fats found in processed and packaged foods that tend to increase blood cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.

“My patients often ask me if they can eat the whole egg, including the yolk,” says Dr. Peter Jones, a Canadian nutri-tion expert and director of the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutra-ceuticals. “They are always glad to hear me say that yes, they can eat the whole egg since this nutritious food does not in-

crease blood cholesterol levels. In fact, if you throw away the yolk, you are dispos-ing of many important nutrients.”

Dr. Jones explained that the full nutri-tional value of an egg is divided between the yolk and the white. The yolk provides almost half of the protein and ribofl avin, and is one of the few foods naturally con-taining vitamin D. The yolk also gives us all or most of the iron, zinc, vitamins B12 and A, folic acid, and thiamine found in an egg.

• Scientifi c research confi rms that the cholesterol in eggs has very little effect on blood cholesterol levels in adults. This is true even for people with high cholesterol levels.

• Clinical studies have shown that there is no relationship between eating seven or more eggs per week and the increased risk of heart disease or stroke.

• Eggs have always been a sound choice for a well-balanced diet, because they are low in saturated fat, contain only 70 calories per egg and have no trans fats. Plus, they are packed with 6 grams of high-quality protein.

Dr. Jones reminds us that if you’re con-cerned about cholesterol and want to re-duce your risk of heart disease and stroke, the best place to start is by making a few simple changes to your lifestyle. Choose nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and reduce the amount of saturated and trans fats in your diet.

Our government is moving forward on anoth-er commitment to improve healthcare in Saskatch-ewan. Last week, Moose Jaw received some long awaited news from the Five Hills Health Region on the site of the new hos-pital. The Health Region has purchased 30 acres of land on Diefenbaker Drive; this location is close to highway #1 and #2 which will allow for good traffi c fl ow, future growth and parking. This new hospital will incorporate the LEAN principles of design and be a patient-centered facility. The funding for this hospi-tal will fall under the new model where the province funds 80 per cent and the local communities will be responsible for 20 per cent, this is a signifi cant change

from the old model where local communities were responsible to pay 35 per cent.

Our government has made improving health-care throughout Saskatch-ewan a priority which is further refl ected in our commitment to reduce wait times for surgery. The Vic-toria Hospital Department of Orthopedics in Prince Albert has introduced a “pooled referral” process that gives patients the op-tion of seeing the next available specialist who is qualifi ed to treat their con-dition, rather than waiting for a particular specialist. This process will work to reduce the bottle-neck in the wait-times for particu-lar specialist and improve over all wait time out-comes. This “pooled re-

ferral” system is being im-plemented in other health care areas, and is one more

way our government is working towards our com-mitment of providing all patients the opportunity to have surgery within three months by 2014.

As our province grows, so do the challenges for our transportation infra-structure. Heavy truck traffi c is one of those chal-lenges. One way our gov-

ernment is addressing that challenge is by providing $700,000 in funding to 11

shortline railways through the Shortline Railway Sus-tainability Program. This will provide funding to im-prove provincially-regulat-ed shortline railways, and can be used for projects such as track maintenance, railway tie replacements and bridge repairs. This is an alternative means of transportation for grain

producers and other ship-pers to get their products to market, and in turn reduces heavy truck traffi c on our highways. Work on these railways began in 2008; up to $5.8 million will be in-vested in these railways by the end of this fi scal year. This is an important ele-ment in our ever growing transportation sector.

Another signal that Saskatchewan is the place to be is the announcement of a major investment by Canada’s largest privately owned transportation and logistics service. Consoli-dated Fastfrate is preparing to build a cross dock facil-ity that will be 10,000 sq ft. and be co-located with the Canadian Pacifi c’s inter-modal rail yard. Construc-tion is scheduled to start this spring at the Global

Transportation Hub, just west of Regina.

There’s more good news to report this week about Saskatchewan’s economy.

According to Statistics Canada, our merchandise exports continue to in-crease. In February 2012, we had $2.62 billion in exports, a 22.2 per cent increase from the year be-fore. The growth in our ex-ports shows that the world wants what Saskatchewan has to offer, and is a good indication of what our fu-ture holds. This type of growth is one of the rea-sons Saskatchewan is ex-pected to lead the country in economic growth, it also refl ects the high level of confi dence investors have in what the future holds for our province.

By John Gullick - Cana-dian Safe Boating CouncilEvery year thousands of boaters go out on the water without giving any thought to how prepared either they or their boats are for the season ahead. Personal preparation involves en-suring you have on-hand your Pleasure Craft Opera-tor Card, up to date nauti-cal charts, a pre-departure checklist and have ob-tained a reliable marine weather forecast.When it comes to vessel

preparedness, one of the fi rst things to ensure is that your boat and engine(s) are mechanically sound. Remember that, through-out most of Canada, boats have been in storage for a number of months over the winter and may not oper-ate as effi ciently as they did last season. Make sure that you follow the rec-ommended maintenance schedule found in your boat’s owner’s manual.The Canadian govern-ment also mandates that

specifi c safety equipment be carried on board. This equipment can be of great benefi t and can mean the difference between a great day out on the water and a potential disaster.During Safe Boating Awareness Week (May 19th - 25th, 2012) and throughout the entire sea-son, the Canadian Safe Boating Council and Smartboater.ca want to re-mind Canadians to review their safe boating check list before heading out onto the water.Required items vary de-pending on boat length but the list below highlights the things that, at mini-mum, need be carried on board, in good working condition and within reach each time you go out:Compulsory Items re-quired on a typical vessel 6 meters or less in length: The vessels license or registration if powered by a motor of 7.5 kw (10 hp) or more A Canadian approved fl otation device (PFD) in good repair and of appro-

priate size for every person on board Fire extinguisher (de-pending on type of engine, gas tank or cooking appli-ances on board) Watertight fl ashlight or pyrotechnic distress signal requirements (fl ares) Sound signaling device Buoyant heaving line (minimum 15 meters in length) Paddle or anchor with at least 15 meters of rode and /or chain Re-boarding device Bailer or manual water pump Navigation lightsOther items to check: Secure batteries Passive ventilation that allows air to fl ow through below decks Exhaust fan or bilge blower that removes dan-gerous vapours Flame arrester and heat shielding for inboard en-gines Up-to-date charts Magnetic compass Radar refl ectorConsider requesting a Rec-reational Vessel Courtesy

Check. This is a totally voluntary service and is conducted without penalty if a defi ciency is found. You will simply be advised of the requirement and a re-inspection will be of-fered when you have add-ed these items.Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons are currently the only non-governmental national source for this pro-gramme. They will inspect vessels that are in or out of the water. They can tell you what is required and give you specifi c informa-tion about each item, what items are best for your ves-sel and boating conditions

and even how to properly use certain items or what additional training might be available. Volunteers can also talk to you about PFDs, Sail Plans, Alcohol-ic Beverage Consumption while on board, Sewage Disposal and Pre Depar-ture Check Lists.Review your check list BEFORE your leave - Be Prepared! Whether you use a power boat, sail boat, personal watercraft, canoe, kayak or fi shing boat, fi nd more information on a va-riety of boating safety tips by visiting www.Smart-Boater.ca.

If the current world-wide economic downturn teaches us anything, it’s that we’ve got to change the way we work.

So says industrial psy-chologist William F. Baker whose book—Leading with Kindness: How Good People Consistently Get Superior Results—argues a pervasive, toxic work culture actually contrib-uted to the economic melt-down.

“Many people, even at the top of the fi nancial world, say they didn’t know what was going on,” Baker recently told PBS’ Charlie Rose. And bully-ing bosses, brutal hours and eat-what-you-kill compensation practices didn’t exactly contribute to open communication.

Of course, the often-mocked “Nuremberg excuse”—a reference to Nazi war criminals who later claimed they were only following orders—doesn’t garner a lot of sympathy these days.

But you don’t have to be an investment banker to have experienced at least one poisonous work-place—along with the of-fi ce politics, PR droids, arbitrary deadlines, and buzzword-laden communi-cations that usually come with the territory.

Capricious bosses can, and do, make many lives a living hell. White House staffers, for ex-ample, quipped that those who worked for President Obama’s notorious, foul-mouthed former chief of

staff, Rahm (“Rambo”) Emanuel—who once sent a rotting fi sh to a political enemy—should get a “spe-cial trauma ward.”

“The way we lion-ize evil bosses (think The

Devil Wears Prada) is unhealthy,” Baker says. “Long term, you don’t get anything out of people with fear. It’s kindness that maximizes results. Em-ployees want to know how they’ll be held account-able. And they’ll work hard if they feel they’re being treated fairly.”

Directors at many suc-cessful companies, includ-ing several in Maclean’s recent “Top-100 Canadian employers” list, seem to have got the message. Managers of Tamm Com-munications, for example, solicit the views of the entire staff—including receptionists—on its ad campaigns.

Contrast such inclu-siveness with the cliquish hierarchy still pervasive at Canadian universities, where sessional lecturers, who teach up to 50 per cent of courses, are generally

excluded from departmen-tal meetings and dismissed as sub-academics by their professorial peers.

Many private sector workplaces aren’t much better. For example, testi-fying before a House Sub-committee in Washington recently, pilot Chesley Sullenberger—who he-roically landed a US Air-ways plane in the Hudson River—said federal laws must be revised to improve airline labour-management relations or “experienced crews will be a thing of the past.”

Pilots’ pay has been cut by 40 per cent, pen-sions terminated, and mo-rale is low. Sullenberger

said 9/11 and the recession have been “used by some airlines as a fi shing ex-pedition to get what they couldn’t get during normal times.”

His comments remind-ed me of a London law-yer friend who was made a partner a few years ago. Always regarded as some-one who put his fi rm fi rst, he recently helped open branch offi ces in Germany and Russia, “commut-ing” back to his family on weekends.

Whenever a branch of-fi ce starts up, of course, profi ts are never as high as they are back at the mother ship. My friend’s billables decreased, but he believed expansion was a good investment for the fi rm. Then, when the market tanked last fall, mergers and acquisition work—in which he’d specialized—also dried up. And the fi rm’s “bean counters” fi red him.

What really surprised him was how few people stepped up to support him, including lawyers he’d mentored. “Work,” he recently said, is “a per-fect microcosm of human nature: shortsighted and petty.”

It needn’t be. As Baker says, “Employees don’t thrive without mentors they can trust and believe in.”

One of my best men-tors was a British editor who was famously plain-spoken. He once told an employee he looked like a “f---ing lumberjack” on casual day. But he was ac-cessible, didn’t hide behind e-mails, and you always knew where you stood. You could disagree—even fi ght—with him about a story. But the resulting dia-lectic helped many of us hone our craft.

The late director An-thony Minghella once said about Kristin Scott Thomas: “She has very low self-esteem, which is great petrol for an actor.” But why should low self-esteem be good “petrol” for anyone—including employees?

Surely, it’s time to ditch such tired notions and re-store collegiality, open-ness—and yes, kindness—to the way we work. After all, these days, we don’t have a lot to lose.

With the motorcycle riding season underway for the 2012 season, the Saskatchewan Safety Council and RCMP “De-pot” Division are proud to team up to promote the safe and esponsible use of motorcycles on Saskatch-ewan roads.

As part of the partner-ship, the Saskatchewan Safety Council will be able to use “Depot” Division’s outdoor training track to hold motorcycle train-ing courses from May to September. The Council’s Motorcycle Training Pro-gram is designed for riders of all levels and helps par-ticipants develop control skills and riding techniques necessary for the demands of urban traffi c. “This is a unique opportunity for everyone involved,” says Barry Muir, Chief Mo-torcycle Instructor with the Saskatchewan Safety Council. “Depot’s training track is an exceptional site for participants of the mo-torcycle course to learn on. It is incomparable to any-where else in Canada.”

According to Assistant Commissioner Roger L. Brown, Commanding Of-fi cer of RCMP “Depot” Division, “This partner-ship with the Saskatch-ewan Safety Council rein-forces the engagement of the RCMP to promote safe communities. We are very pleased to be a part of this collaboration as Saskatch-ewan’s motorcyclists will not only gain signifi cant knowledge but also best practices on road safety.”

Educating the public on motorcycle safety is a priority for both the RCMP and the Saskatchewan Safety Council.

According to SGI, there were 286 collisions involving motorcycles last year on roads throughout Saskatchewan.

Muir comments that while riding a motorcycle is an exhilarating experi-ence, it is also an incred-ible risk if you are not trained to handle danger-ous situations or to ride your bike properly. “Work-ing with the RCMP to raise awareness about motor-

cycle safety for both rid-ers, as well as drivers of other vehicles is a neces-sary step towards reducing the amount of motorcycle-related collisions that hap-pen each year,” he says.

The Saskatchewan Safety Council, along with RCMP “Depot” Division and SGI will be recogniz-ing May 6th to 12th as Motorcycle Safety Week in Saskatchewan. The week is held each year to raise awareness about the importance of being safe-ty-minded when riding a motorcycle. It also helps to raise awareness for other road users who often un-intentionally ignore mo-torcyclists because of their small size. Motorcycle dealerships across Regina will be offering special safety-related discounts to their customers in support of the week. Customers will also have the oppor-tunity to enter the draw at any of the participat-ing dealers for a chance to win a free registration for the Council’s Motorcycle Training Program.

The week will also feature RCMP Collision Reconstructionists from around the province who will be focusing their ef-forts on reconstructing real-life motorcycle colli-sion scenarios and tests at “Depot” Division’s train-

ing track in Regina. The information gained will help with training pur-poses, as well as assist in-vestigators in better under-standing how and why the collisions happen and how they might be prevented in the future.

LAROCQUE - Marie “Yvette” Juliette

Affectionately known as Yvette, was a loving Mom and Grandmom. She was born May 27th, 1936 in Laventure, Saskatche-wan, to Napoleon and Mar-gurite, one of twelve chil-

dren. Yvette passed away with her family by her side on March 23rd, 2012 in Leoville, Saskatchewan, at the age of 75. Yvette loved and treasured her family and friends, always adored her pets and loved being on the farm. She had a strong faith and belief in God. Another of Yvette’s pas-sions was knitting, over the years she has made count-less slippers and mitts for those she cared about. It was not unusual for her to assist people in this hobby over the phone. She was a very loving, kind helpful lady that made an impres-sion on all hearts of those fortunate enough to have met her.

Yvette leaves to cherish her memories: Her son, Ar-nie (Shelley) Larocque of Saskatoon, SK, her grand-children Nick Larocque of Warman, SK and Morgan Larocque of Prince Albert, SK

Her sisters: Cecile (Ivan) Smith of Leoville, SK, Lucienne (Maurice) Marsollier of Prince Al-bert, SK, Paulette (Jerry) Lafond of Leoville, SK, Dianne (Rene) Beau-lieu of Debden, SK, Jea-nette (Dennis) Ouellette of Glaslyn, SK, Pauline (Maurice) Ouellette of Martensville, SK and her brothers: Marcel (Sally) Campagna of Holbein, SK, Leo ( Paulette) Campagna of Debden, SK, Paul ( Cecile) Campagna of Deb-den, SK as well as numer-ous nieces, nephews, rela-tives and countless friends.

She is predeceased by: Her loving husband, Al-bert Larocque, her parents, Napoleon & Marguerite Campagna and her sib-lings, Noella Campagna & Aimee Campagna

Prayer Service for Yvette was held Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at 7:00 pm from the St. Therese Roman Catholic Church, Leoville, SK. Mass of Christian Burial for Yvette was Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 at 10:00 am from the Notre Dame des Victoires Roman Catholic Church, Victoire, SK. Fi-nal Resting Place is beside her husband in the Vic-toire Cemetery

Memorial Donations may be made in Yvette’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Email condolences to www.beaulacfuneralhome.com will be forwarded to the family.

Ed Beaulac of Beau “Lac” Funeral Home was entrusted with arrange-ments.

Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation booklets

help keep the past freshThe Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation (SHF) is

writing and publishing a series of booklets that teach us how to properly preserve, restore and rehabilitate historic places.

The series, entitled the SHF Conservation Bulletin Series, is a collection of straightforward manuals meant to help people interested in maintaining and repairing his-toric buildings in their communities. The booklets, writ-ten in plain language, are easy to read and understand.

Each booklet focuses on a single topic related to heri-tage conservation. Currently, there are six books avail-able - Base, Brick Masonry, Organize, Roof, Standards and Guidelines and Window. More booklets will be available in the future.

“This series is an exciting and practical resource for the people who love and protect our province’s historic buildings,” Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Bill Hutchinson said. “Historic places benefi t our com-munities and our economy in so many ways. They help create jobs. They enhance property values. They attract tourists. And they help create striking neighbourhoods that people are proud to live in.”

“These booklets help people navigate the wealth of information on heritage conservation that exists today,” Heritage Foundation Chairman Wesley Moore said. “These publications are concise and clearly written. We hope they become staples on the bookshelves of heritage property owners, heritage committee members and mu-nicipal offi cials.”

The publications provide readers with real examples of Saskatchewan heritage interventions. They also offer basic technical references to help people make informed decisions that follow accepted Canada - wide heritage protocols. They outline philosophical perspectives for making heritage decisions and provide lists of resources for further research.

The series was partially funded through the federal-provincial Historic Places Initiative.

The booklets are available online. To view them, please visit http://www.tpcs.gov.sk.ca/SHF. Hard copies of the booklets are free.

Nicklas Lidstrom is in an unfamiliar position, on two fronts.

For one, the 42-year-old Swede saw his hockey season come to an end in April, an oddity because his season usually doesn’t end until at least May — and often June.

And two, Lidstrom skated off the ice April 20 following his team’s elimi-nation by the Nashville Predators not knowing for certain whether he’d ever wear the Detroit Red Wings uniform again.

So will Lidstrom call it quits after a spectacu-lar 20-year career during which he won seven Nor-ris Trophies as the NHL’s best defenceman and led the Wings — his only big-league club — to four Stanley Cups? He was also in Lady Byng contention most years, averaging one minor penalty every six games during his storied career. He was the Conn Smythe winner in 2002.

When it comes to NHL defencemen, one starts with Bobby Orr and then doesn’t fall too far back to Lidstrom at No. 2. Sorry, Doug Harvey. Sorry Brad Park, Denis Potvin and Ray Bourque. You’ve been edged out.

Detroit coach Mike Babcock told reporters in the playoffs that Lidstrom was “too good to quit,” hoping the fl attery and an-other $6 million contract would persuade him to re-turn for one more season.

Lidstrom played only 70 games this year — a ca-reer low thanks to a couple of minor injuries — and he was held without a point in the Wings’ fi ve play-off games. The playoffs is when Lidstrom’s ‘A’ game usually elevated to ‘A-plus’ as he quarterbacked the Wings’ potent Dat-syuk-Zetterberg-Franzen powerplay unit to goal af-ter goal, playoff win after playoff win.

An 11-time all-star, Lidstrom still has more game than most NHL de-fencemen, using his brain, guile and smooth skat-ing to offset some of the speed he has lost. He often played like he had his own puck.

Lidstrom never once missed the playoffs in his long career, pacing the Wings to 32 series’ victo-ries against 15 losses. He holds 11 Detroit records and has an astounding ca-reer plus-minus mark of +450. He’ll never be re-vered by Red Wing hock-ey fans at Gordie Howe’s stature, but he’s probably tied for second with Steve Yzerman.

Lidstrom said he’ll make a decision on retire-ment (or one more year) early this summer. One

decision that won’t be tough will be the one for Hall of Fame voters put-ting Lidstrom into the hal-lowed hall as soon as he’s eligible.

Lidstrom’s career at a crossroadsBruce

By the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

There are lots of claims out there right now regard-ing the fi lm tax credit issue, so here is some informa-tion to help you separate the wheat from the chaff.

First, we at the Cana-dian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) haven’t been entire-ly precise on the issue. In recent columns, we noted that the Saskatchewan fi lm tax credit allows movie companies to receive be-tween 45 and 55 per cent of their labour costs from the Saskatchewan govern-ment.

That part is true, but we should have noted that the federal government also has a fi lm subsidy program that pays up to 25 per cent of labour costs.

In other words, a fi lm company could spend $100,000 on wages in Sas-katchewan and receive as much as $55,000 from the provincial government and as much as $25,000 from the federal government. The industry has suggested no fi lm ever manages to max out both subsidies, but even if a fi lm received a quarter of the maximum ($20,000) from the gov-ernment, that would still be $20,000 more than what most other businesses re-ceive. After all, the vast majority of businesses re-ceive no taxpayer-funded subsidies for their wage costs whatsoever.

Second, the bold claims of economic benefi ts ‘cre-ated’ by the tax credit are also questionable.

Some fi lm industry proponents claim the $100 million paid out through the tax credit over the past decade has created $623 million in economic activ-ity. Government data sug-gests the volume of pro-duction costs is closer to $500 million, but let’s go along with the industry’s fi gure for a moment.

What the fi lm indus-try isn’t including is the additional $110 million in funding the provincial government has provided to the industry over the years through other funds; such as money for the Re-gina sound stage.

That means $210 mil-lion in provincial govern-ment funding and $623 million in economic activi-ty. In other words, 33.7 per

cent of the economic ac-tivity from the industry is driven by provincial subsi-dies. Throw federal fund-ing into the mix and the percentage would climb even higher.

You may have also heard claims about ‘all the money the industry pays in taxes,’ yet the province has noted that of all the money paid out through the ‘tax credit,’ 98 per cent of it was paid out in the form of a grant while only “two per cent was an actual credit against taxes paid in the province.”

The industry would likely retort by noting that Sask workers employed in the fi lm industry also pay personal income taxes, but what industry doesn’t have people paying income tax-

es?Finally, some have

suggested Saskatchewan needs to keep the fi lm in-dustry subsidy as everyone else has one. Proponents of the subsidy even circulated a map online which shows every state in the U.S. as having a fi lm tax credit.

However, according to the Motion Picture Asso-ciation of America, North Dakota, Delaware and Nebraska do not have fi lm tax credits. Idaho is no lon-ger funding its tax credit and Nevada and the Dis-trict of Columbia have no ‘signifi cant’ government incentives in place for the industry.

It’s true that a majority of U.S. states and Cana-dian provinces have gotten into a bidding war with tax

dollars to attract the movie industry, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. Govern-ments shouldn’t subsidize businesses, they should instead leave those dollars in taxpayers’ pockets and let people decide for them-selves what they want to do with their money. Some may choose to support the fi lm industry by buying more DVDs, others might choose to support it indus-try by investing in a fi lm or two.

The possibilities are endless, but it should be taxpayers, not politicians and bureaucrats, who de-cide such how their money is spent.

By Darryl FehrMost urban yards

lack fruit bearing trees or shrubs due poor availabil-ity and lack of imagina-tion, robbing prairie yards and gardens of an excit-ing dimension. Although many easy-to-grow excel-lent quality fruit trees have been available for decades, some recent introductions have even greater potential to enhance the urban yard.

In general, trees and shrubs soften the harsh lines of buildings and fenc-es; provide shade, shel-ter and privacy; and form backgrounds and accents. In addition to these many benefits, fruit trees provide the fragrant glory of spring blossoms and the mouth-watering bounty of fall harvest while demanding almost nothing in terms of additional care and maintenance. Use them carefully in the front yard: passers-by may be tempted to sample your bounty.

Pear Trees are the giants of the fruit trees. The ‘Thomas’ pear will develop into a round-head-ed shade tree of 5 or 6 m. Other varieties such as ‘David’, ‘John’, and ‘Ure’ will develop into tall stately shade trees of 7 to 8 m. All have fragrant white flowers and bright green foliage. They require little supplemental irrigation and will thrive in almost any soil with adequate drainage. All pears have stout thorns and are notori-ously slow to start bearing. After about 5 years, you can expect an abundance

of fruit that will be the surprise and envy of the neighbourhood.

Apples, Applecrabs, and Crabapples: there are at least 30 different prairie-hardy cultivars in a wide range of fruit size, color, flavour, storability, and ripening time. They are available in two size groups. When grafted onto Siberian crabapple seedlings, they range in height from 3 to 4.5 m. These are known as stan-dard apples. When grafted onto Ottawa #3 rootstocks, their height is reduced to 2 m and are known then as dwarf apples. However, fruit characteristics are the same regardless of tree size. Standard apples are excellent small shade trees beside the deck, over the patio, above the children’s play area, or along the back fence. Dwarf apple trees can be an amazing addition to any perennial border, shrub bed, or gar-den area.

Plums and Cherry Plums fall into two groups – hybrid plums and Manchurian plums. The hybrid plums have the largest fruit (up to 5 cm) and are usually grown as small trees with a maxi-mum height of 3 to 3.5 m. Manchurian plums also have large fruit (up to 4 cm) and are likewise grown as small trees (up to 3 m) but can easily be grown as large shrubs with branching right to the ground. The cherry plums are smaller in fruit size (2 to 3 cm) and plant size (2

to 2.5 m). Although cher-ry plums can be pruned into an attractive tree form, they are usually grown as large shrubs. All of the plums and cherry plums are excellent for fresh eat-ing, good for jellies, sauc-es, or jams, and suitable for pies and canning.

Tart Cherries are recent introductions from the University of Saskatchewan. ‘Carmine Jewel’ was the first intro-duction. Shortly after came the Romance Series: ‘Cupid’, ‘Valentine’, ‘Crimson Passion’, ‘Romeo’, and ‘Juliet’. While there are subtle dif-ferences, these virtually insect-free plants grow as large upright shrubs to a maximum height of about 2.2 m with fine textured, bright green, very shiny foliage. The profuse fra-grant white flowers are followed by very dark fruit (sometimes almost black), good sized fruit, up to 2.5 cm diameter. The cherries persist on the tree, getting sweeter and sweeter as fall approaches. Cherries are very good for fresh eat-ing and excellent for pies, sauces, jams, and canning. The plants require no spe-cial care.

Haskap, the most recent introduction for the prairies, is also known as blue honeysuckle, honey-berry, or sweetberry hon-eysuckle. It is a large rounded shrub up to about 2m. Haskap makes a great addition to any garden because of its very early ripening in late June well

ahead of any other fruiting plants. The Haskaps have resulted from a very active and ongoing breeding pro-gram at the University of Saskatchewan. ‘Tundra’, ‘Borealis’ and ‘Indigo’ are the most desirable culti-vars.

Black Currants also make excellent yard plants. They are very pro-ductive and their height never exceeds 1 m. These plants green up at least a week ahead of all the other woody plants and do no seem to be damaged by late frosts. They are reli-able producers of nickel sized currants that are very good in jams, jellies, and sauces. Look for the ‘Ben’ series. They were devel-oped in Scotland and are

fully hardy.The possibilities for

the “edible back yard” seem endless. Don’t forget sweet gooseber-ries, grapes, Mongolian cherries, raspberries, and strawberries.

The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region is receiving $2,660,100 from the Saskatchewan govern-ment to improve patients’ access to surgical care.

The funding will enable the Health Region to continue to operate the fourth operating room and address capacity issues for operating theatres, improve patient flow, as well as address surgical pressures in both home care and therapies.

“We appreciate the support which allows the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region to improve surgical care, build capac-ity and reduce wait times,” said Carol Gregoryk, Vice-President of Integrated Health Services.

“Physicians and the Region’s staff members have worked hard to achieve decreased wait times for our patients, and

are committed to provid-ing quality, safe and time-ly access to surgical care.”

The investment is part of $60.5 million in additional funding for the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative, announced in the March 21st provin-cial budget. The funding will help health regions collectively complete an additional 4,380 surgeries in 2012-13 and support innovations that improve surgical care.

Prince Albert Parkland Health Region is current-ly meeting the Surgical Initiative’s Year 2 target of having patients offered a surgery date within 12 months. Year 3 targets are a reduction to six months waiting time and by 2014, the province’s goal is to provide all patients the option of having surgery within three months.

“Sooner, safer, smart-

er surgical care is a high priority for our govern-ment,” Scott Moe, MLA for Rosthern Shellbrook, said on behalf of Health Minister Don McMorris.

“Prince Albert Parkland Health Region is a key partner in provid-ing exceptional services to patients, and helping achieve our ambitious wait time goals.”

The Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative began in April 2010. Since then, wait times have dropped dramatically. The num-ber of patients waiting over 18 months for sur-gery has dropped 85 per cent, the number waiting 12 months for surgery has decreased 74 per cent, and the number waiting over 6 months has dropped 53 per cent. The number of people waiting more than 3 months is down 39 per cent.

To all my patients from Shellbrook, reserves and sur-rounding commu-nities we thank you for the opportunity to be involved in your health care the past 10½ years. Psalm 100: Know that the LORD, He is good; it is He who has made us and not ourselves.

We in Shellbrook, reserves and sur-rounding commu-nities are His peo-ple and the sheep of His pasture. En-ter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, our Heavenly Fa-ther and bless His Name through our Lord, Jesus Christ and fellowship for the Holy Spirit. For the Lord is good;

His mercy is ev-erlasting and His truth endures to all generations. - Blessings, Dr. Alwyn and Loretta Fourie.
