Nearly fi ve kilograms of marijuana, de-rivatives and some “magic mushrooms” were discovered as a part of a pair of search warrants executed in the Big River area late last week.
Members from the Big River Detach-ment along with Prince Albert’s Integrated Street Enforcement Team executed a Con-trolled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrant on a property north of Big River August 8 where an outdoor marijua-na grow operation was located.
Through the search, 35 marijuana plants were seized weighing just shy of 5 kilo-grams.
A second warrant was executed the fol-lowing day, August 9, at a residence in the town of Big River where an addition-al quantity of marijuana and derivatives were located along with Psyliosybin, also known as ‘Magic Mushrooms”.
According to Big River RCMP Cpl. Josh Hallett, the initial search warrant was is-sued as a result of an ongoing investigation which was conducted over the course of a month and a half. The second search war-rant was issued as a result of fi ndings from the search of the grow operation.
Daniel Daley, 53, and Carmen Daley, 60, of Big River, were charged with possession for the purpose of traffi cking, production of Marijuana, possession of a controlled substance and unlawful storage of a fi re-arm. Daniel Daley had been out of the area at the time of the searches. He was ar-rested and subsequently appeared in Big River court August 13. Carmen Daley was released before a Justice of the Peace to ap-pear in court in Big River on October 10, 2012.

The Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) is pleased to announce its popular $10 senior seat sale for the month of September. Seniors 60 years of age and older will be able to ride any-where along STC’s network for $10 per one-way trip.
“We want to offer a sale that’s entic-ing to seniors,” Minister responsible for STC Don McMorris said. “By giv-ing them the opportunity to ride the
bus for such a low cost once again in September, we feel we’ve accomplished that.”
The company has taken great strides to improve the on-board experience of its passengers in 2012. STC’s fl eet be-came 100 per cent Wi-Fi equipped in 2012.
The company also recently replaced four new coaches in its fl eet.
“We encourage people to give STC
a try if they never have before,” STC President and CEO Shawn Grice said. “Our current customers have given STC very high satisfaction ratings. In fact, 93 per cent of our passengers rate STC’s services as good or excellent. We believe that once you experience our services, you will be eager to use us again.”
The company serves 287 communi-ties in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan will contribute $450,000 to mountain pine beetle control efforts in Alberta as the two provinces work together to aggressively detect and remove infested trees at the leading edge of the infestation in eastern Alberta.
The partnership agreement provides a framework for a comprehensive regional strategy to combat the beetle before it gets established in Canada’s jack pine forests and aims to stop or signifi cantly slow the beetle’s spread into Saskatch-ewan’s north. The mountain pine beetle outbreak has killed approximately 60 per cent of British Columbia’s lodgepole pine forests. Six years ago, the infestation crossed the Rocky Mountains, spreading halfway across Alberta. Research has confi rmed that mountain pine beetle can survive in jack pine which means that forests in northern Saskatchewan and across Canada are at risk.
“The mountain pine beetle represents a signifi cant threat
to Saskatchewan’s pine forests and to the environmental, so-cial and economic contributions they make to our quality of life,” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said.
“Working with Alberta provides our best chance of pre-venting this insect from becoming established in our majes-tic northern forest.” “We appreciate Saskatchewan’s recog-nition of the interprovincial implications of mountain pine beetle infestations in our boreal forest and how this impacts our environment, our communities and our economies,” Al-berta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Minister Diana McQueen said. “This partnership is a great example of the many ways we work closely with our neigh-bours to strengthen our region.”
The Government of Saskatchewan is contracting with Great Western Forestry Ltd. to survey forests in Saskatch-ewan’s northwest and in the Cypress Hills for mountain pine
beetle and to mark infested trees for removal. This is the second year the province has contracted with Great Western to a value of $350,000.
“Jack pine makes up 40 per cent of Saskatchewan’s soft-wood volume upon which a signifi cant portion of our forest industry depends,” Cheveldayoff said. “
“The mountain pine beetle program will help protect the long-term sustainability of Saskatchewan’s forest and its in-dustry, which currently accounts for more than 2,600 direct jobs and more than $400 million in annual product sales.”
Surveys will begin in September and be completed by November. Last year’s surveys detected no mountain pine beetle in Saskatchewan outside of the known infestation in the Cypress Hills. The information provided by the insect and disease surveys is essential to the development of an ef-fective provincial and regional response.

Personal exemptions when cross-border
shopping Don’t spoil a cross-border shopping spree by fi nding out
you have to pay unexpected duty on goods. One way to avoid such a surprise is getting to know the rules for personal ex-emptions. This will allow you to bring goods of a certain value back home to Canada without paying regular duty and taxes. Here’s a snapshot from the Canada Border Services Agency:
• After 24 hours - CAN$200, no alcoholic beverages or tobacco products (if more than $200, full duty and taxes are applicable);
• After 48 hours - CAN$800;• After seven days - CAN$800. You can bring one of the following amounts of alcoholic
beverages free of duty and taxes as long as you are within the minimum age, as prescribed by provincial or territorial authorities (18 years for the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec, and 19 years for the remaining provinces and territories):
• 1.5 litres of wine; • a total of 1.14 litres of alcoholic bev-erages; or • up to a maximum of 8.5 litres of beer or ale.
If you’re 18 or over, you can bring all of these types of to-bacco products free of duty and taxes within your personal exemption:
• 200 cigarettes; • 50 cigars; • 200 grams of manufac-tured tobacco; and • 200 tobacco sticks.
Be aware that there are no exemptions for same-day travel — and shoppers are reminded that all purchases are subject to applicable PST, GST and duty. Also, the rule is that you must declare everything you buy, regardless if any of the exemptions apply.

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com August 17, 2012
Few things boggle the mind more than collective bar-gaining in professional sports. The National Hockey League and its players association, the NHLPA, are at the very beginnings of talks on a new collective agree-ment. The current agreement expires September 15 and the teams that form the NHL no longer want to work
under that framework. While the NHLPA seems to be
OK with the current CBA, the NHL owners have indicated that if an agreement isn't signed by the time the current one expires, they will lock out the players be-fore they have the opportunity to strike.
The NHL unleashed their pro-posal which featured a 24 per cent roll back in salaries caused by a reduction in the players share of league revenue and a fi ve year cap on the length of player contracts. Maybe they were start-ing big so any concessions given will look small by comparison.
I'm quite glad that sport doesn't translate well into the real world because if my employ-er asked me to take a 24 per cent wage hit I'd be looking for another job. But then again, these guys earn mil-lions of dollars to play a game.
Last go around, the NHL owners won the fi ght as they were able to establish a hard salary cap with a linkage to league revenues. Every year the league revenues in-crease, the salary cap comes up with it. This was ac-complished at the expense of an entire NHL season.
Today, the NHL is looking to maintain that linkage but carve the cash pie in favour of the own-ers rather than the players.
What I don't understand is that teams around the league are still offering big contracts while these negotiations are tak-ing place.
Zach Parise and Ryan Suter received identical blockbuster 13 year, $98 million contracts to sign with the Minnesota Wild to start off the summer.
In all fairness, the contracts were offered before the NHL made their fi rst proposal but each of the league's 30 teams were part of the process so each of them knew what was coming down the pipe.
So basically the team was of-fering a pair of contracts that
they knew were likely going to be unavailable under the new CBA for an amount of money they weren't actually going to pay.
Meanwhile, the NHLPA wants to delink the sal-ary cap from revenues and simply set a rate while also increasing revenue sharing to help out some of the league's fl ounding teams.
Last time out, the league seemed to be the voice of reason and the union looked like the fi ve year old throwing a tantrum and threatening to pick up its toys and go home. This time out, the league reminds me of the restaurant customer whose steak gets sent back to the kitchen repeatedly while the NHLPA is the waiter scrambling to salvage their tip.
With just a month left to get this deal done I hope that stances relax or we may be watching poker this winter.
Unrealistic demands in CBA
negotiations
Small business the lifeblood of the community
BRAD

Big corporate takeovers tend to capture all the headlines but there appears to be a story behind the story in the com-mercial world.
When big companies become bigger through mergers or acquisitions, they do it for a reason – because it works. It provides broader mar-ket penetration, expanded geographic reach or deeper supply chains and distribution channels.
Yet, it is still the small, locally-owned business that holds the consumer attention. At least that is the fi nding of a survey of Canadians conduct-ed by RBC Royal Bank.
The inquiry found that average consumers love their local enterprises.
95 per cent said small business is the lifeblood of a community and the majority said they would pay more for goods or services when supplied by a locally-owned fi rm. The reason? They want to support people who live in their own community.
Often it is the public sector – where the lowest possible price is the only determinant in selecting a vendor – that opts for the big or global players as service providers. But when the average consumer is making the buying decision, it appears they have a preference for buying local.
* * *In a world of multi-tasking and being connected to the
digital world on a 24/7 basis, some of the basic tools of management are in danger of getting lost.
Henry Mintzberg and Peter Todd, senior academics at McGill University’s business school, have come up with some interesting advice for businesspeople and senior managers looking to cope with the fl ow of information as well as doing their day-to-day jobs: unhook from your technology.
Writing for the on-line business publication Strategy and Business, the pair say there is remarkably little research
done into the fi eld of managing through the digital bar-rage. But they note that ‘soft’ skills such as reading body
language and vocal nuances are critical tools for a manager, things that are learned only through experience. But they can get lost when you get all your information from email or text messages.
So they advise, take a break now and then. Power down. One of the critical roles of leader-ship is thinking. Leaders who don’t take the time to think are probably not serving their organiza-tions as well as they could.
* * *The Regina-Saskatoon see-saw remains alive
and well.Anyone watching the progress of building per-
mit values in the province’s two major cities will quickly see there is an interesting trend that has
been evident for more than a year now. One month Regina seems to post the big increases and
the following month it is Saskatoon that turns in the stron-ger performance.
The latest StatsCan tabulation of national building per-mit numbers shows Regina is on the higher end of the tee-ter-totter.
StatsCan’s numbers are usually a month behind so this particular report covers June which showed Regina had an annual increase of 130 per cent while Saskatoon rose only 7 per cent. And on a month-over-month basis, the gap was equally signifi cant. But a month earlier it was Saskatoon that held the dominant position.
When you look beyond the two cities and track the prov-ince as a whole, Saskatchewan was pretty much in its own class in June. The national increase was negligible while we were up more than 30 per cent. No other province even came close as many showed declines and even Alberta rose by less than fi ve per cent.

YESTERYEAR~
They have always said that everyone in Saskatch-ewan has at least one foot on the farm. To some ex-tent, this remains true. But there are a few other real-ities we factor into this old cliché. First, both Regina and Saskatchewan have been near or over 200,000 people for a generation now, so that con-nection to the farm increasingly means through a grandparent or uncle or aunt. Second, the growth in this province right now is through immigrants or Canadians from other provinces as much as it is peo-ple moving in from the country.
Third _ and most importantly _ you can't simultaneously be from both rural and urban Saskatchewan, anyway. You can be from a farm or a small town and that special bond may never leave your heart. But to suggest that the immediate needs and interests of city residents from Regina and Saskatoon are the exact same as those currently living in rural Saskatchewan has always been a ludicrous notion.
For these reasons, it appears that the federal elec-toral boundaries commission of Justice Ronald Mills, Professor John Courtney and SARM President David Merit has got Saskatchewan’s new boundaries right. Let us just hope that the politicians don't screw it up again like they did last time.
The new boundaries in Saskatchewan would see Regina and Saskatoon residents represented by three seats (instead of the current four) called Sas-katoon Centre-University, Saskatoon West, Regina Lewvan, Wascana and Regina Qu’Appelle and Sas-katoon Grasswood. Only the latter two would have a combination of rural and urban voters.
Meanwhile, there would still be seats called Cy-press Hills-Grassland, Souris-Moose Mountain, Prince Albert, Yorkton-Melville and Desnethe-Mis-sinippi-Churchill River in the north. However, they would be joined by “rural” seats called Kindersley-Rosetown-Humboldt, Lloydminster-Battlefords-Rosthern and Moose-Lake Centre-Lanigan. The total would remain 14. Notwithstanding the usual
concerns about the physical size of depopulated ru-ral ridings or the quibbling of which communities belong in the same riding, these boundaries clearly makes more sense than the existing ones that see eight of the province’s 14 seats split between rural
and urban. Even the provincial boundar-ies commission _ fl awed as it might have been in adding three additional seats in this province when it was unnecessary to do so _ recognized the inherent unfairness of urban-rural split seats. (Only two of new 61 provincial seats see any form of rural-urban split.)
The logic would seem evident to us all. No matter how tied rural and urban Sas-katchewan residents truly are, their im-mediate needs and issues are, and have always, been different. For that reason, it is infi nitely logical to represent public in-terest in the way that current boundaries commission has. The problem, however,
is political interests aren’t always the same as pub-lic interests ... which is how the current boundar-ies got so badly screwed up last time. Prior to es-tablishment of the current boundaries, the interim boundaries proposed a much better interim map that represented the traditional urban and rural seats for this province. Unfortunately, self-interested politi-cians successfully fought to changed the boundar-ies. Most vocal were the NDP _ specifi cally then NDP Regina-Palliser MP Dick Proctor_ who argued his new rural riding stretching from the U.S. border to the outskirts of Saskatoon called "Long Lakes" was just too big with too many communities with no common interest. As a result, we got ridings like Regina-Qu'Appelle that take in everything from in-ner city Regina to the rural communities 100 miles north. (Ironically, the NDP did not elect a single MP under the current boundaries.) Already, politicians like Conservative Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar MP Kelly Block are complaining about the unfairness of the new ridings that “break” the tradition of split urban-rural seats in Saskatchewan.
Editor:In about a month, the combines will begin rolling across
our constituency as our farmers go about the vital busi-ness of feeding Canadians and the world. But this year there’s one historic difference.
For the fi rst time in 69 years, Western Canadian farm-ers will have a new freedom that entrepreneurs in other parts of Canada, both on and off the farm, have long en-joyed: the freedom to sell the fruits of their labours to the buyer of their choice.
The doors to marketing freedom opened wide on August 1, 2012, when Prime Minister Harper announced our Gov-ernment delivered on its long-standing commitment to stand up for the individual rights of farmers.
The Prime Minister and our Conservative Caucus was particularly proud to be joined by some of the farmers who were fi ned or jailed for their belief in the cause of freedom.
The Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act offi cial-ly ends the seven-decade sales monopoly on wheat and barley in Western Canada. With the start of the new crop year on August 1, Prairie farmers can sell their wheat and barley when they want and to whom they want – the same as farmers in Ontario.
Western Canadian farmers will have more buyers than ever competing for their grain – including the CWB, which is offering a number of innovative pooling programs for farmers looking to balance their risks.
The Harper Government has provided the CWB with the resources needed to be a viable and strong competitor in this new open market.
The CWB is open for business, with handling arrange-ments secured across the West and plans to expand its basket of crops to canola.
Marketing freedom will help rejuvenate the Western Ca-nadian wheat industry. Wheat put Canada on the map and marketing freedom will put it back on top. Already, we’re seeing new alliances and synergies spring up throughout the value chain right across North America.
Marketing freedom is more than a Western issue. A strong farm economy drives the economic pistons that generate jobs and growth right across Canada.
It couldn’t have come at a better time for our farmers. Markets, exports and long-term demand are all on the rise. We celebrate a new crop year and a new era for agri-culture.
It’s unfortunate that as our Government gives more freedom to Western Canadian farmers, members of the NDP and Liberals are already discussing ways in which they can take these rights away through protest and frivo-lous lawsuits.
Unlike the opposition, we know that marketing freedom will unleash the true economic potential and entrepre-neurial energy of the Western Canadian grain sector.
An open market will attract investment, encourage in-novation, create value-added jobs, and build a stronger economy for all Canadians.

Public perception of animals could have far reaching consequencesThe view of others to the traditional ways are quickly
changing.That is particularly true in the way people see human as-
sociation with animals.We saw most poignantly with the seal hunt. Once cameras
took pictures and they were sent around the world people were appalled.
The clubbing of seals is in no way a pretty sight.The question of whether it is inhumane is a different one
entirely.The way of killing was not something the world wanted
to see, and there was a backlash, but the hunt did have its reasons for existing, and the method of killing was effi cient.
That industry was shaken to basic extinction by the media coverage, and there have been reports since of a burgeon-ing seal population impacting fi sh stocks in the areas of the former seal harvests.
Recently a picture on Facebook was circulated of whales forced to shore and harvested on the Faroe Islands as part of a long held tradition dating back to the 10th century.
The reaction was again generally negative, although there was no indication the species of whale was endangered, and the harvest is for food. It was just a general attitude that such a harvest was a bad thing.
We see that attitude creeping into the general viewpoint of average citizens more and more.
There is growing opposition to many equine sports because there is a feel-ing they are abusive to horses. We have seen it with chuckwagon races and to a less extent with horse races.
Rodeo comes under fi re from some as well, and we have actually seen ro-deo start to evolve with some groups moving away from the most contro-versial events such as calf roping and steer wrestling. Even though those events are most directly tied to what a cowboy might do in certain ranching situations, they are also the ones seen as most controversial.
As a result bull riding, the premier rodeo event, has forged its own trail through the popular PBR events, and rough stock rodeos, like the one held recently in Yorkton, featuring only bareback, saddle bronc and bulls are catching on.
While these things might not be seen as agriculture, they do relate back to the way people in general see animals and that impacts farmers.
The American horse slaughter, or loss of it, being a prime example, as short-sighted as that was.
Those arguing for the end of the slaughter have not consid-ered where old horses should end up, understanding death
by old age in a fi eld of clover might be a Hollywood ending for a horse, but isn't reasonable in the real world.
But in a world where people are doing things such as dressing their dogs in tuxedos and having them walk down the church aisle as part of wedding processions, the view of animals is clearly changing.
That changing view is going to change the way we all in-teract with animals, whether as hunters, or farmers, or pet owners.
The changes will be made by politicians well-removed from farming, listening to masses of voters, also well re-moved from what happens on a farm where their food is produced. That combination will mean rules and regula-tions which lack both common sense, and understanding of raising livestock.
And sadly there may be little farmers can do to prevent it either.

Alfalfa and fall grazing recommendations BY BRYAN DOIG, PAGPROVINCIAL FEEDS/REGIONAL FORAGE
SPECIALIST, NORTH BATTLEFORD
REGIONAL SERVICES BRANCHSASKATCHEWAN MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE
Many producers graze their cattle on alfalfa in the fall. Al-falfa can cause frothy bloat at any stage of its development. The period of greatest risk is during the vegetative and early fl owering stages. Levels of soluble proteins and saponins are highest at this stage of growth. These, in addition to rap-id rates of digestion, contribute to the onset of frothy bloat.
As alfalfa matures the risk of bloat becomes less than the earlier stages of development. Ideally, wait fi ve to seven days after a killing frost before grazing alfalfa. This will reduce the potential for bloat by allowing the levels of soluble pro-teins to drop. The risk of bloat becomes lowest when 50 to 70 percent of the top growth has dried after a killing frost.
There are several products on the market that can be used to reduce the risk of frothy bloat when cattle are consuming alfalfa. Talk to your veterinarian or feed company represen-tative for additional information on these products.
To ensure the maximum winter survival rate, alfalfa should not be cut or grazed for at least four to six weeks prior to the fi rst hard killing frost. In Saskatchewan, that means avoid grazing or cutting alfalfa from mid-August to late September.
This “critical” period allows the plants to produce and store energy to help them survive the harsh winter condi-tions. The extra energy is also used to produce new plant growth in the spring.
Other factors can contribute to winter injury. These in-clude wet fall soil conditions that reduce the plants ability to harden off prior to winter, a lack of snow cover that exposes crowns to extreme cold and low soil fertility.
The decision to cut or graze alfalfa during the critical peri-od becomes a question of weighing the risks. Factors such as a the value of hay, the potential yield, the number of grazing days, the age of the stand and the cost of re-establishment due to winter injury must be considered.
Grazing alfalfa in late fall can also help reduce infesta-tions of alfalfa weevils. The cattle eat the stems, leaves and other trash where alfalfa weevils normally overwinter. This also reduces the plant material where weevils lay eggs in the spring.
On a side note, exercise caution when moving cattle from
grazed out pastures into areas where there is more lush plant growth. There is always potential for the occurrence of atypical interstitial pneumonia (A.I.P.). This condition can develop when there is a sudden change in the diet. A compound is formed in the rumen that affects the lining of the lungs.
It may take four to ten days for symptoms of A.I.P. to oc-cur. Producers may fi nd dead cattle without noticing any warning signs. Laboured open-mouthed breathing and restlessness are common symptoms. If affected cattle are stressed by trying to move them out of the pasture, they may suddenly die. It is best not move the animals. Contact your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Before moving cattle to any new fall pasture, provide dry feed to ensure the rumen is full. Ideally, graze the new pas-ture for two or three hours on the fi rst day. Rotate the cattle with dry feed and the new pasture for four or fi ve days until they become accustom to the new grazing area.
For more information on this or other feed and forage top-ics, contact your Regional Offi ce at 306-446-7962 or the Ag-riculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

All gardens, regardless of where they are, will have shady areas, whether under the canopy of trees or along a solid structure. Even in my south-facing backyard, I have shade along the back fence. And of course my whole front yard is in shade most of the day.
For those that like variety in the garden, there are shade-loving choices besides hostas and ostrich ferns. Don’t get me wrong; those two are the workhorses in most shade gardens. Hostas come in many sizes (as small as a couple of inches to as large as 2 ft. tall and wide) and in a variety of leaf colour (shades of blue, green, gold, and striped [various combina-tions of white, gold, green, blue]). But they all have the same general mound shape. And ostrich ferns, once established, need to be corralled regularly as they like to spread them-selves around.
My favourite hosta-alternative is elephant ear or ligular-ia. It is a bold herbaceous perennial with large, dark green, toothy-edged, heart-shaped leaves. Plants can reach over 2 feet tall with fl owers overtopping the plant by an addition-al 12 to 24 inches in mid-July to August. Defi nitely not for full sun. Nor is this plant drought tolerant, preferring moist feet in rich well-drained soil. There are two similar species grown on the prairies. One is Ligularia dentata (e.g. ‘Othel-lo’) with showy, bright yellow, daisy-like fl owers, about 2 – 4 inches across. The other species is L. stenocephala (e.g. ‘The Rocket’) with tall, densely-packed spikes of small yellow fl owers.
Another great shade lover is snakeroot (aka black bugbane; Actaea racemosa syn. Cimicifuga racemosa). This perennial makes a statement in the garden, forming a large mound of dramatic, dark green to chocolate-purple, coarse, deeply cut leaves. Expect mature specimens to reach 2 – 3 feet tall and wide with creamy white (pink undertones), fragrant fl ower spikes that can add another 18 - 36 inches in height in mid-summer. Moist soil is a must but unlike ligularia, performs equally well in shade or full sun.
A native plant, highbush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) is one of a number of shade tolerant viburnums. It is typi-cally found as an understory shrub in moist woodlands or in open moist meadows in full sun (clues to where to place it in your garden). Depending on the cultivar, highbush cranber-ry ranges from 5 to 15 feet tall x 5 to 10 feet wide. The shorter cultivars are compact shrubs; the taller ones tend to be open structured, multi-stemmed tall shrubs that can be trained to a single- or few-stemmed small tree. The large (2 – 4 inches across), dark green, three lobed leaves turn bright red in fall. Large white fl ower clusters appear in early spring followed by edible fruit ripening from yellow to orange to red.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea syn. C. stolonifera; similar species - C. alba and C. siberica). It requires evenly moist soil but will other-wise grow anywhere with light levels ranging from full sun to dense (75%) shade. Depending on the cultivar, this shrub can be relative small (2 - 3 feet tall and wide) to moderately large (6 – 8 feet). There are cultivars with variegated leaves (white/green or yellow/green). If growing one of the culti-
vars prized for its brightly coloured late winter/early spring branches (coral red, bright yellow or purple), prune out 1/3 of the oldest branches every year in late fall; these will be the branches with the darkest, roughest bark.
These are just a few of the many shade tolerant perennials that can be grown in a prairie garden.

Saskatchewan residents who need to update their health services card registration information can now effi ciently complete these requests by using new online printable no-tifi cation forms.
“The ministry is constantly looking for alternate solu-tions to better serve our customers,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “These newly-developed forms provide a con-venient and effi cient way for residents across the province to update their information with the Health Registration Branch. This is a good example of how we are putting the patient fi rst.”
The ministry also launched an online application for health cards last year.
There are six new printable forms available on the Minis-
try of Health website at www.health.gov.sk.ca/update-info, including:
• Change to Family Unit;• Change of Address or Request Replacement Card; • Change of Information or Legal Change of Name;• Notifi cation of Extended Absence;• Notifi cation of an Updated Immigration Document; and • Notifi cation of Power of Attorney.Individuals can complete the applicable forms and submit
them along with supporting documentation to the Health Registration Branch in Regina. The function to directly sub-mit changes to registration information online is currently under development.
With the availability of online forms and other alternate
services including call centre, email service and fax, the Health Registration Branch front counter in Regina, which primarily serves customers from Regina and surrounding areas, will close effective September 10, 2012. This change will allow the branch to redirect staffi ng resources to better meet the needs of residents across the province.
People who have questions regarding their health card can email the Health Registration Branch at [email protected], or contact its call centre at 1-800-667-7551 (in-province only), or 306-787-3251 (Regina area or outside Saskatchewan).

Province receives 3700 submissions on labour law renewalLabour Relations and Workplace Safety received more
than 3,700 submissions in response to a public consultation paper proposing a comprehensive review of the current pro-vincial labour legislation.
“The consultation paper proposed a series of questions for consideration and stakeholders responded,” Labour Rela-tions and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said.
“The invaluable feedback received will be critical in deter-mining the scope of our efforts to introduce an employment code that more accurately refl ects the contemporary work environment while preserving an effective work-life balance.
“Importantly, the considerable number of submissions indicates that the 90 day consultation period allowed stake-holders suffi cient time to participate in this process. The consultation period provided the opportunity for the min-istry to receive informed advice and counsel.”
The labour legislation review is intended to restructure and reorganize the existing legislation, eliminate inconsis-tencies, clarify legislative applications and modernize legis-lation to refl ect today’s changing work environment.
The submissions will be thoroughly reviewed by the Min-istry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety as well
as input from the Minister’s Advisory Committee before drafting legislation. A summary document identifying key themes from the review will be posted online once the anal-ysis is complete.
Submissions received in response to the consultation pa-per will be made available for public review online unless the individual or organization making the submission re-quests confi dentiality. To ensure the confi dentiality of the individuals, the submissions will be redacted to remove all personal identifi ers.

You don’t have just the summer season to enjoy the sweet, juicy goodness of North-west cherries. Simple preservation will have you enjoying them all year long.
1. Freeze Your Cherries - Freeze pit-ted Northwest cherries for the best fl avour. Work with small amounts, 3 lbs to 5 lbs (1.5 to 2.5 kg) of fresh sweet cherries at a time to allow for quick handling and freezing. Select fi rm, ripe sweet cherries. Rinse and drain cherries thoroughly. Pack according to preferred method below and freeze im-mediately. Method 1: Whole with stems. Spread cherries with stems intact in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze until fi rm. Pack into freezer-proof containers or plastic freezer bags; remove excess air, cover or fas-ten tightly and freeze. Frozen cherries will last 10 to 12 months in the freezer.
Method 2: Dry Sugar Pack. Add 1/3 cup
(75mL) sugar for each pint of pitted or un-pitted fresh sweet cherries; toss lightly to coat cherries. Fill freezer containers or bags; shake to pack fruit. Add more cherries to fi ll containers or bags. Cover tightly and freeze.
2. Enjoy Canned Cherries - Unopened canned cherries have a shelf life up to one year. Once open, canned cherries should be kept in a covered container in the refrig-erator and used within a week. Maraschino cherries (the kind you fi nd adorning bever-ages) will last six to 12 months in the refrig-erator.
3. Dry Your Cherries - Packaged dried cherries will last up to 18 months. Dry them at home for an easy and inexpensive way to enjoy their fl avour in recipes all year.

Going undergroundSouthbound lanes on Diefenbaker
Bridge closed until August 27
The City of Prince Albert has closed both south-bound lanes on the Diefenbaker bridge until the end of August to continue bridge repairs.
To accommodate abutment bearing and girder re-pairs, the City has closed the southbound lanes on the bridge starting August 13 until Monday August 27.
Bridge work is expected to be ongoing until late fall with lane closures through the months of August and September. Further updates will be provided when available.
In addition, to accommodate over width loads crossing the bridge, the City has scheduled speci-fi ed crossing days and times. The City currently re-quires all overwidth load haulers to must schedule an appointment with the Public Works Department (953-4900) to register for the Tuesday or Thursday morning crossings that are scheduled for 10:00 am.
The City of Prince Albert and the Ministry of High-ways and Infrastructure thanks motorists for their patience and understanding during the repair work.
Family Fun Circus entertains Shellbrook crowdAugust 17, 2012 www.shellbrookchronicle.com Shellbrook Chronicle 11
A breathtaking array of stunts were on display Sunday af-ternoon as the Family Fun Circus Shellbrook.
The circus, out of Dallas, Texas, is in the midst of its fi rst tour of Canada which began in Manitoba and will end in British Columbia before heading down south.
Ringmaster Jairo Ojeda said that circus performers have to love what they do or they simply wouldn’t do it as it isn’t a simple life. They put countless hours into perfecting what they do and to ensure that the show happens at all.
“We get up at 4 o’clock every morning, load up all the an-
imals, drive hundreds of miles, get to the next stop, set it up, (put on the show), tear it all down and drive to the next town,” said Ojeda.
“There’s really no day off, so it really is a labour of love,” said Ojeda.
The performers and crew have the setup, tear down and get performances down to a science as they put on upwards of 16 shows a week.
Their fi rst trip to Canada has not disappointed as the crowds have been loud and appreciative where ever they
have traveled. “They are just so nice to work for. They can appreciate all
the hard work that goes into doing the show,” said Ojeda. The show featured a clown, animal acts featuring trained
dogs and horses, a pair of aerial acts, juggling, a contortion-ist and culminated with “the World’s Youngest Human Can-nonball.
Just a few hours after the circus trailers pulled into town, there was barely a trace of them having been at the sports grounds as they made their way to their next destination.
A performer uses verbal commands to control a horse. Johnny Rocket, the human cannonball, fl ies through the air.
A proposed uranium min-ing and milling project in northern Saskatchewan has cleared another hurdle.
Canada’s Environment Minister, Peter Kent, an-nounced this week that the proposed Mining and Mill-ing the Midwest Project is not likely to cause signifi -cant adverse environmen-tal effects with the imple-mentation of the mitigation measures and follow-up programs described in the comprehensive study report.
The Minister has referred the project back to the re-sponsible authorities, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Natural Re-sources Canada and Trans-port Canada, for appropriate action.
In reaching his decision, the Minister considered the Comprehensive Study
Report and the comments received from the public on that report.
A copy of the Minister’s environmental assessment decision statement is avail-able in the Canadian En-vironmental Assessment Registry, reference number 17519.
AREVA Resources Canada Inc. is proposing the min-ing and milling of ore from a uranium deposit located 700 kilometres north of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, near the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin.
The Canadian Environ-mental Assessment Agency administers the federal en-vironmental assessment process, which identifi es the environmental effects of proposed projects and mea-sures to address those ef-fects, in support of sustain-able development.
Decision announced on proposed
Midwest Project You’ve spent ages building up enough points to take a
long fl ight, only to fi nd out that your travel rewards pro-vider has a blackout period for the dates you want to va-cation. Scenarios like that happen too often for Canadian travelers, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Stephen Me-non, Associate Vice President, TD Credit Cards, provides advice on how to choose the right travel rewards credit card for your needs.
“When choosing a travel rewards card, many people don’t take time to think about how they will redeem their points,” says Menon. “To avoid being annoyed later on, this shouldn’t be overlooked. Consider a card that allows you to book travel where, when and the way you want so you can have a positive experience when booking your vacation.”
Here are some tips to consider when booking rewards travel:
• Look for a travel rewards card that allows you to book your trip through the travel agency or provider of your choice – whether online, in person or by phone. Not only does this provide added convenience, but it can also help save you money by allowing you to take advantage of last-minute deals.
• Your travel rewards card should allow you to not only redeem points you’ve earned, but also allow you to earn extra points just for using your card to book the trip. For example, when TD Travel Credit Cardholders book trips through Expedia For TD, they can redeem some or all of their points automatically upon booking and they earn
triple points for travel purchases charged to their card.• Avoid the hassle and frustration of saving up rewards
that can’t be used when you want. Choose a credit card issuer with a travel rewards program that has no black-out periods.
• Your card should also allow you to redeem your points for everything related to your travel, from fl ights, car rentals and hotel costs to taxes, gratuities and parking.
“If you keep these tips in mind, your travel rewards card might make the difference between the trip of your dreams and one you’ll want to forget,” adds Menon.

Blair Industrial held their 5th annual pig roast on Saturday, August 11 and featured an ark and spark power safety demonstration that was provided by Maxim Energy to raise safety awareness of operating farm equipment around power lines.
An Auction was held with John Priestley from Crown Hill Auctions who donated his time .
Wayne Reiter won the bid for the grader service for $525, the Flaman Fitness was won
by Kevin Horner for $325 , 5 hours of mobile service was won by John Reiben for $310 , 8 hours shop welding service was won by Buton Aggregates for $425. A total of $1935 was raised (including all auctioned items )and donated to the IA Lab at the Blaine Lake School.
The Blaine Lake Fire Department set up a cash bar and raised $800. The 50/50 draw was won by Walter Perehudoff who won $350.00. Blair would like to thank all the people who came out to help and the guests for coming out to the event.
The heat can get the better of you during the summer months making you feel sluggish and forgetful. It looks like mom was right about taking fi sh oils. An omega-3 essential fatty acid supplement can help with mental acuity and staying focused, especially during the lazy summer months.
Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids are crucial for brain, skin, muscle, joint and heart health, and taking a supplement is the best way to get these vital oils, as the body cannot produce them on its own.
1. Arthritis and Infl ammatory ConditionsThe powerful anti-infl ammatory properties of omega-3 oils from fi sh help reduce stiff-
ness in joints and help relieve joint and muscle pain. 2. Attention Defi cit Disorder and MemoryRecent research reveals that omega-3’s, specifi cally DHA, help increase focus and
memory retention in children and adults. 3. Cholesterol, Blood Pressure and Heart DiseaseOmega-3 oils promote healthy cholesterol levels in the body by helping to lower bad
cholesterol (LDL) levels and raise good cholesterol (HDL) levels. Clinical research also re-veals reductions in blood pressure with the intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
4. Depression and Mood RegulationRegular supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids helps to elevate mood and lessen de-
pression and anxiety. High potency fi sh oil with added vitamin D is very useful in treating
Seasonal Affective Disorder or the “winter blues”. 5. Digestive System HealthRegular omega-3 supplementation helps to soothe and lubricate the bowel, ease elimi-
nation and support overall digestive health. 6. Healthy EyesFish oil supplements reduce the risk of age related vision problems including macular
degeneration. The DHA found in fi sh oil is important for the visual development in infants.7. DiabetesFish oil can help to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce risk of cardiovascular dis-

This is about the one that didn’t get away. Los Angeles went fi shing for a slugging outfi elder and landed a kid by the name of Mike Trout, who is almost guaranteed to hook the 2012 American League rookie of the year award.
The Angels and their fans, needless to say, are in love with Trout. They have fallen for him big-time — hook, line and sinker.
Trout started the 2012 season in the minor leagues. He was 20 years old when he was called up to the Bigs in late April. It was a slow start, 1-for-11, until a four-game series in early May against Toronto Blue Jays — fi ve hits in 16 at-bats, with 10 runs-batted-in in — got this amazing fi sh story started.
It only got better. Trout, playing like a defensive vet-eran in centrefi eld, has sim-ply been the AL’s best hitter this year. His May was great (.324 with fi ve home runs), his June was sensational (.372, three dingers and an on-base percentage of .419) and his July had Cooper-stown calling for his hat size (.392, 10 homers in 97 at-bats, a .455 on-base percent-age and a Ruthian-like .819 slugging percentage). The 10 home runs tied an Angels record for one month.
“My confi dence has defi -nitely increased because I'm getting more at-bats (and) playing every day and just getting more comfortable,” Trout told MLB.com.
“I'm feeling pretty good
out there right now.”Angels’ manager Mike Sci-
oscia said Trout is “on his way to a remarkable career. He's just getting started, and look what he's doing. He's just an unbelievable base-ball player.”
Despite Trout’s remark-able rookie season and the Angels off-season signing of the generally acknowledged best player in baseball, Al-bert Pujols, the Angels are still struggling mightily to make the playoffs. They entered mid-August seven games behind West Divi-sion-leading Texas, but are in the thick of the wild-card race.
With Trout surrounded by so much talent — among others, the lineup includes Pujols, Torii Hunter and second-year slugger Mike Trumbo and a pitching staff that starts with Jered Weav-er, free-agent signee C.J. Wilson and recently added superstar Zack Grienke at the trade deadline — it’s hard to believe the Angels aren’t leading the West Divi-sion by about 15 games. But they aren’t, so they’ll need another July-like month from Trout in August and September. If his numbers get any better, though, it’ll sound like a real fi sh story.

The team from the prov-ince which bares the phone prefi x '306' was the toast of the Canadian Football League after a torrid 3-0 start this summer under rookie
head coach Corey Chamblin. They were the last of the un-beatens. Now, following the Roughriders' 28-20 loss at Edmonton Friday night, they are the CFL club who's gone the longest without collecting a win. The boys in the green hats have lost three games in a row and stand at 3-3. Tech-nically, they are in last-place in the CFL West.
What happened? Well Fri-day night before the largest crowd in the CFL this sea-son (just over 43,000), the Roughrider put on a shame-less display of penalty-laden football and lost the turnover battle 3-0. We had JUST learned that 89% of teams
who win the turnover battle go on to win the game.
A former Roughrider and Eskimo who's in the Rider Plaza of Honour told me af-ter the contest "if it wasn't for the penalties and turnovers, Saskatchewan would have won the game!"
True, but that's like me say-ing "if I wasn't so ugly, I'd be hot". That's football, and the Roughriders left the stadium smarting even though they put up close to 500 yards of-fence.
"That's not the Saskatch-ewan Roughriders," fumed Chamblin after the game. "There were a lot of penal-ties, turnovers and big plays
against our defence. That was a very undisciplined showing by our team."
However upon the Rid-ers' return home to the YQR the next day, Chamblin had changed his tune consider-ably.
"When you look at (Rider quarterback) Darian there's always room to improve but Darian's playing fair to good at this point," the coach rea-soned. "Darian is not a part of our problem right now. He's going to throw inter-ceptions - every QB in this league will. I'm okay with Darian's play right now."
Ah, textbook Coaching 101. When the Riders were 3-0
Chamblin was the fi rst to say his team was a long ways from perfect and they had a ton more to give. Now that they've hit the skids, he's do-ing his best to lift the spirits and keep it positive.
"The guys had the focus there," Chamblin continued at the airport. "We just have to fi nd a way to win. The biggest thing I'm proud of is we've been in all six games. It's not like they've been blowouts. They're a young team which is getting older. I'm pleased with this team right now."
Durant followed right in line, which is worth noting. If the Roughriders are go-
ing to turn this thing around pronto, the quarterback and coach need to be on the same page.
"We're good," Durant an-swered when asked about the team's psyche. "We realize what's wrong. It's not like, after the game we're looking for answers or we're getting blownout. The psyche's good, spirits are high, it's early and we all realize that."
The trouble is it's getting a little late to still be saying it's early. The biggest test of the season comes Sunday in B.C. (5:00 kickoff) against the Grey Cup champion Lions.
Will the Riders stand up for this one?

September 12, 1926 – August 8, 2012With deepest love we say goodbye to our dear hus-
band, dad, bumpa, and friend, Bud Dicus. Bud passed away on
August 8, 2012 just short of his 86th birthday. He will be sadly missed and lov-ingly remembered by his loving wife Flo, children; Merl (Estelle) Dicus, Pen-ny (Raymond) Brad, Trudy (Paul)Watier, Lorne (Twi-la) Dicus, Scott (Christi) Dicus, 15 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, brother, Owen (Muriel) Di-cus, sister, Grace Kennedy, sister-in-law, Noreen Di-cus, along with numer-ous nieces & nephews and many friends.
He is predeceased by: his parents; Oscar and Flora Dicus, brothers; Harvey, Manuel (Irene), Lenard (Pearl) and Wil-lard, sisters; Norma (Sam Howat) and Enza (Mau-rice) Heard, brother-in-law; Herman Kennedy.
Bud was born in Kilwinning, then moved to Leask at the age of 6. Bud taught himself guitar at an early age, continuing his entire life. Bud told stories about his Uncle Joker picking him up with a team of horses and sleigh to go play for dances at the age of 14.
Bud joined the army at the age of 16 and when he returned home, he met his love, Flo. They married in Spiritwood on November 7th, 1952. They lived on a farm 16 miles northwest of Leask. They worked hard and raised 5 children, who gave him more than a few gray hairs, and grandkids over the years.
Bud was a devoted husband and protector. Roses are a symbol of love and mom got a lot of love.
Bud always had a joke, story or a funny expression for every occasion, people gravitated toward him when he walked into a room. He welcomed people into his world.
Throughout his life he was a sports enthusiast; he played hockey and ball in his younger years and in his retirement became an avid golfer and curler. He liked nothing better than to play on a team with his kids.
He has inspired more than one person to sing and play guitar and he loved a good jam session.
Some songs live on forever and this little verse, written by a couple of Bud’s granddaughters, compiles a few of the ones that Dad sang to his kids, his grandkids and his great grandkids.
"Won't You Ride in my Little Red Wagon" and we'll go "Out Behind the Barn"
where we can eat some "Bread and Gravy", and may-be have a little sip of "White Lightning",
because "I Wouldn't Change a Single Thing about you if I could."
And now "We've got Company Coming Up the Road".Bud will be remembered as a great husband, father,
grandfather, great grandfather as well musician, curler, golfer and volunteer extraordinaire.
Next time you are on the golf course, the curling ice or shooting pool, think of Bud and smile because you know he's watching and smiling back at you.
A Celebration of Life was held in Bud's honor on Monday, August 13th, 2012 at 2:00pm in the Lion's Hall, in Shell Lake.
Private family interment followed the Service in the Shell Lake Cemetery.“The Happy Wanderers” played and the Honor Guard was the Royal Canadian Legion.
Bud’s family would be honored if in lieu of f low-ers, donations in his memorybe made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Email condolences to www.beaulacfuneralhome.comwill be forwarded to the family.

Reduce your home's energy loss through the at-tic by simply topping up the existing insulation. By increasing your insulation R-value in the attic, it will lower your overall energy costs.
While your attic is most likely insulated, over time, that insulation can settle or compact, reducing its R-value. A breezy attic may also result in drifts or shifts in your original insulation, leaving gaps where heat can escape.
A 'loose stone wool' insulation will fi ll in any gaps and provide an overall covering, acting like a blan-ket on top. It is simply applied on top of your existing
attic insulation to increase the R-value and level of energy effi ciency, resulting in savings on your utility costs. Retailers tell us that the Roxul RockFill loose insulation will also absorb sound, creating a more quiet and comfortable home.
This easy to do upgrade project can be tackled by any level of DIYer as the easy-to-use RockFill loose insulation can be applied by hand instead of by ma-chine like many other types of insulation require. To apply the loose insulation, simply open the bag, aer-ate the insulation with your hands (loosen it up) and spread over your existing insulation.
Re-insulate the attic for energy efficiency

We tend to pick up bac-teria by being outdoors in the summer, and eating al fresco can pose health hazards as well. Before you know it, you can pick-up a food borne illness by eating a burger or po-tato salad that has been out too long or grazed by a fl y. It is estimated that house fl ies carry around 1,941,000 different kinds of bacteria. If they come into contact with food, it may have an adverse im-pact on health.
Can a probiotic a day can keep the doctor and bad bacteria away? Ab-solutely, says naturopath Dr. Brenda Watson, who believes that probiotics are the new multivitamin.
Dr. Watson advises, “Probiotics are crucial for supporting the immune system, balance intestinal environments and inhibit growth of pathogenic or-ganisms,” she says, point-ing out that the digestive tract plays a major role in the strength of the im-mune system.
Probiotics are friendly,
benefi cial bacteria, which are normal inhabitants of the large and small in-testines. These bacteria help produce digestive enzymes, synthesize vi-tamins, absorb nutrients, control infl ammation in the body, and control overgrowth of bad bacte-ria and fungus.
Contrary to popular belief, yogurt is not the best source of probiotics, says Dr. Watson. It’s true that all yogurt is cultured with probiotics, but not all yogurt contains live cultures in the fi nished product. This is because yogurt must be pasteur-ized, or heated, to kill off potentially pathogenic bacteria. Unfortunately, this also kills off the ben-efi cial bacteria the yogurt was cultured with.
Typically, probiotic supplements contain be-tween 2 to 6 billion or-ganisms per capsule. On average, less than 5% of good bacteria arrive alive, and are able to populate once inside the intestine.
It is important to look
for a probiotic supplement that has a sound delivery system to ensure the pro-biotics are not destroyed by stomach acid on the way to the intestines.
How much probiotics to take depends on each individual and his or her health needs. “Think of a low potency probiotic as your multivitamin” Dr. Brenda Watson contin-ued. “A 2 billion cfu (col-ony forming unit) dose is what you would need to take everyday to maintain good health. The dosage amount differs from per-son to person, and more information can be ob-tained at renewlife.ca”, advises Dr. Watson.
Recommended Daily Probiotic Usage
• 2 billion cfu: Mini-mum required to main-tain good health
• 6 billion cfu: Every-day maintenance for people with chronic in-testinal complaints such as Chron’s, colitis, IBS, infl ammatory bowel dis-ease, mild constipation, candida or parasites. It
is also recommended for people who have complet-ed a course of antibiotics.
• 50 billion cfu: Very high potency probiotic is recommended for people with chronic active issues linked to constipation, Chron’s, IBS, active yeast infections and for sup-porting a weakened im-mune system, or coming off long-term antibiotic use.
Four Features to Look for in a Probiotic
Supplementing your daily diet with probiot-ics is the easiest way to build up good bacteria, to keep the immune system strong. Here are some important tips from Dr. Brenda Watson, when choosing a probiotic sup-plement.
1. High Culture Count: The culture count refers to the total amount of live, friendly bacterial cultures in a single serving. For general health, 2 – 6 bil-lion bacteria per serving is suffi cient. If treating a health condition, a higher culture count like 50 bil-
lion bacteria per capsule is ideal. Always check with your doctor fi rst for the ideal amount of bacte-ria for your health needs.
2. Number of Strains: There are over 1,000 strains of benefi cial bacte-ria in the gut. A good rule of thumb is that a variety of strains more closely re-semble the diversity that naturally exists in the gut. Look for the naturally oc-curring strains that begin with Ls and Bs, like lacto-bacilli and bifi dobacteria. A good way to remember is that the L strains are good for the little (small) intestine. The B strains are good for the big (large) intestine or colon.
3. Delayed Release: Probiotics must travel through the harsh stom-ach environment and ar-rive alive in the intestines to be effective. If they never make it through the stomach acid, they won’t do you any good. Delayed-release capsules are engineered to remain intact through the stom-ach and begin dissolving
in the intestines, where they are needed most. Entericcoatedcapsules or bio-tract tablets protect the probiotics from harsh stomach acid and deliv-ers them directly to the intestines where they are needed and utiltized by the body.
4. Potency at Time of Expiration: Any probi-otic is fresh when manu-factured, but very few remain at full strength through their expiration date. A probiotic supple-ment, when delivered to the right place, with the right amount of cul-tures and strains, can help promote digestive health, bowel regularity and strengthen the body’s natural immune defens-es. Be sure to read the label for potency at time of expiration, not manu-facture.
