The top operators in

this area in 2010 were

Talisman Energy (41

wells), Black Shire

Energy (10), Rife

Resources (nine), and

Enerplus (seven).

The ERCB Calgary

office records also show

that across the province

over 2,300 successful oil

wells were drilled in

2010, more than double

the numbers drilled in

2009.

Crude oil remaining

established reserves

increased 3.7 per cent,

the first increase since

2005.

The ERCB’s report

called Alberta's Reserves

2010 and

Supply/Demand Outlook

2011-2020 also stated

that in 2010, Alberta’s

crude oil production

totaled 73.0 thousand

cubic metres (m3) (459

thousand barrels) of oil

per day with a yearly

total of 26.6 million m3

(168 million barrels).

This is a 0.4 per cent

reduction from 2009.

Also in 2010, Alberta

produced 256.3 thousand

m3 (1.6 million barrels)

per day of raw crude

bitumen from the oil

sands. The 2010 yearly

total of 93.5 million m3

(589 million barrels)

produced from the oil

sands represents an 8 per

cent increase over

Alberta’s 2009 oil sands

production.

The ERCB meanwhile

is forecasting that

Alberta’s annual raw

crude bitumen production

will total 549.6 thousand

m3 (3.5 million barrels)

per day for a total of 201

ProductiveLandWorkers (left) near a

Penn West Cadogan oil

battery are on the job

as more interest in

conventional oil is

taking place, according

to both the Canadian

Association of Oilwell

Drilling Contractors

and the Canadian

Association of

Petroleum Producers

who are predicting a

busy Alberta oilpatch

in 2011. A new forecast

(see PN June 8)

confirms the shift to oil

well completions, away

from natural gas

drilling.

Approximately 60

percent of the wells

being completed are

directed at oil, and

those wells are

increasingly

horizontal. Many are

seeing the application

of multi-stage fracking

technology. The

application of this

technology was most

prevalent in the

Bakken play in

Saskatchewan and

Manitoba, but is now

widely used in the

Cardium and Viking

areas of Alberta. This

picture was taken on

June 15 south east of

Cadogan as farming

operations also took

place nearby.

Member ofParliament Leon Benoitwas reached by phonein Sherwood Park onMonday, June 20 beforehe boarded a plane thatday for a NATO meet-ing in Norway. He saidthat even though legis-lation has was expectedto be tabled in Ottawa

on Monday, June 20 toforce an end to theunrest, it’s expectedthat the NDP “will slowthis down as much asthey can, so we’re notsure if we can get itthrough by this Friday(June 24) or come backthe following week toget it done.”

Benoit says that evenwith a majority there isstill a process to getthrough.

The MP points outthat he has had “Notmany calls (over theissue) . . . I’m amazed.I don’t think I had ahalf dozen calls. Fewerpeople are depending

on the snail mail.” Hesays that these disrup-tions are causing peopleto depend less on postalservice. It’s not reliable.But he says “it stilleffects a lot of people . .. it’s crucial for somebusinesses like newspa-pers.”

Another possibility,says the MP is that thetwo sides will settlebefore legislation kicksin. “They don’t have towait for the governmentof Canada for a tenta-tive agreement.

Benoit is still thechair of the CanadianNATO parliamentari-ans and is the only MPfrom Canada going tothe Norway meetingwhich is about theArctic and military mis-sions.

New Book With Two

Stories Has Bodo

Archaeological

ConnectionProvost author Robert Hahn is beginning to market

his new book that comprises two fictional stories.

“Bodo and the Tale of the Deer Track Pottery is a

sort of ‘girl story’ since pottery making was probably

women’s work, based on

the discovery of a real

archaeological pottery

artifact found near Bodo,

Alberta” (23 pages).

Bodo and the Tale of

the Mended Bones is

about a boy and his dog,

also based on the discov-

ery of a real archaeologi-

cal pottery artifact found

near Bodo (35 pages).

The 1,500 copies of

the book now off of the

Holmes Printing presses

are suggested for readers

aged 10 years to adult.

Hahn has worked on the

project for just over half

a year and says the fin-

ished product (page size

5 x 8 1/2 inches) will

soon be available at the

Bodo Archaeological

Centre in Bodo and in

Alberta book stores.

The book may be suit-

able companion reading

with the new Alberta

school textbook called

“ T e a c h i n g

A r c h a e o l o g i c a l

Thinking” by the Critical

Thinking Consortium

(TC2) available this fall

to all teachers in the

province and optional to

all grade levels in which

different aspects of the

Bodo archaeological site

are used as examples at

the end of almost every

chapter (see also PN

February 10, 2010 and

April 27, 2011).

Hahn is also a former

director of the Bodo

Archaeological Society.

ST PETERSBURG.—Annual growth inoil demand could average 1.2 million bar-rels per day (mb/d) between now and 2016,while natural gas demand could grow byaround 500 billion cubic meters – around2.5 times Russia’s current gas exports –during the same time, according to theInternational Energy Agency’s report:Medium-Term Oil and Gas Markets 2011.

The report, launched June 16 at the St.Petersburg International Economic Forum,seeks to make sense of the increased diver-gence in oil and gas markets by providing acomprehensive outlook for fundamentalsthrough 2016.

“This report shows that oil’s twilight asan industrial fuel continues, and it becomesever more concentrated in the transport andpetrochemical sectors,” said InternationalEnergy Agency executive director Nobuo

Tanaka. “Gas on the other hand continues toincrease in power generation as well asindustry and space heating. In terms of mar-ket structure and pricing, oil is a genuinelyglobal commodity, while gas markets,although globalising, remain bound bysome key regional constraints, not least interms of transportation.”

For oil, the projections are based on pre-vailing futures prices, which form anassumption as opposed to a price forecast.The crude price assumption used in the out-look averages $103 per barrel, or around$20 more than in last year’s MTOGM.Based on this assumption, the report pro-jects the following outcomes in oil markets:

Growth in oil supply capacity through2016 averages 1.1 mb/d annually, as higherprices unlock new supplies. Iraq, UAE andAngola lead growth prospects from OPEC,

while Brazil, Canada, Kazakhstan andColumbia drive non-OPEC increases.Conventional crude oil accounts for lessthan 40 percent of the increase, while natur-al gas liquids, biofuels and unconventionaloil from onshore the United States accountfor the lion’s share of new supplies;

While spurring investment in explo-ration and development, higher oil pricesthreaten to weaken economic growth andcurb demand. Accordingly, the report pre-sents both a base case scenario in whichdemand reaches 95.3 mb/d in 2016 and alow-GDP variant in which demand is 2.4mb/d lower by 2016;

In both demand scenarios, China, Asia andthe Middle East together generate around 95 per-cent of net growth, with buoyant gas oil/dieselgrowth and major increases expected from thetransport and petrochemical sectors. Persistentend-user subsidies and buoyant economic

growth allow non-OECD demand growth to stay

robust, despite high international crude prices.

The report makes the following projections

for the gas market:

As gas consumption grows by 2.4 percent per

year between now and 2016, gas continues to

increase its share of the global energy mix. Non-

OECD markets are not only the main driver

behind this demand growth but also contribute to

90 percent of additional supplies;

Global trade in gas expands rapidly as more

countries become gas importers. Natural gas

joins oil, iron ore and many others in the club of

commodities in which China is the increasingly

dominant source of demand. Around one third of

global demand growth comes from China. China

emerges as one of the biggest importers of

pipeline gas as well as LNG, while rapidly

increasing its domestic production at the same

time.

Sask. June LandSale Yields $41 Million

REGINA.—The June sale of petroleumand natural gas rights brought in $40.9 mil-lion in revenue, making it the third best onrecord for a June sale. Land sale revenue forthe 2011 now stands at $193 million.

"This sale marks a record, 11 consecu-tive land sales that have surpassed the $30million mark," Energy and ResourcesMinister Bill Boyd said. "This sustainedinterest from industry is very positive. Ittells us industry sees a stable, long-termfuture in Saskatchewan's oil patch. It's alsoa vote of confidence in the province's over-all business climate.

"It's always exciting to watch the actionwhen prime Bakken and Shaunavon parcelsare posted, and this sale was no exception. Iwas also pleased to see that all corners ofthe oil patch continue to contribute to thesale, from St. Walburg in the north toConsul in the southwest to Storthoaks in thesoutheast and points in between."

June's sale included eight petroleum andnatural gas exploration licences that sold for$3.5 million and 260 lease parcels thatattracted $37.4 million in bonus bids.

The Weyburn-Estevan area received themost bids with sales of $21.5 million. TheLloydminster area was next at $7.9 million,followed by the Kindersley-Kerrobert areaat $6.1 million and the Swift Current area at$5.4 million.

The highest price for a single parcel was$3.7 million. Prairie Land & InvestmentServices Ltd. acquired this 62.28-hectarelease parcel near Stoughton. This parcel

also had the highest price on a per-hectarebasis of $60,302.

Alberta SetsSingle Day LandSale Record

EDMONTON.—June 1’s petroleum andnatural gas land sale netted over $841 mil-lion and is the highest ever total from a landsale in the history of Alberta. This nearlydoubles the previous high of $474 millionset in December 2005. The sale also set arecord for average price hectare of$3,110.85, surpassing the previous high of$2,185.03 set in July 2010.

There were 390 parcels available for thesale. The top earner was a licence locatednorth east of Rocky Mountain House which

sold for over $106.5 million with an aver-age price per hectare of $13,529.70. Thisparcel also bought in the highest ever bonusfor a petroleum and natural gas parcel. Theprevious high was a petroleum and naturalgas parcel sold on March 23, 2011 for over$96.5 million. Six of the top 10 all-time par-cel sales were set today.

“The most interesting result in this landsale is the focus on conventional oil in theCardium formation,” said Energy MinisterRon Liepert. “This is the result of our pre-vious changes to the royalty structure whichencourages the use and deployment of newtechnologies in accessing the resource.”

The record sale comes just months afterthe province set new records for calendaryear ($2.39 billion) and fiscal year ($2.56billion) sales as well as average price perhectare ($2,185.03).

Provost Dentist Puts in 390 Hours

Studying HypnotherapyProvost dentist Dr.

Maria-Cristina Iova has

been studying hypnother-

apy over nine months,

spending between 380

and 390 hours (including

practicum) on the cours-

es in Calgary at Full

Circle Hypnosis college.

She has a few more

weekends to finish up.

Iova has been taking

the course which she says

will help not only the

patient but also herself

and her staff by reducing

some anxiety. The dental

profession is a stressful

one, she points out and

notes the procedure is a

kind of relaxation and

collaboration with posi-

tive suggestions put for-

ward such as “you will

feel a pleasant experi-

ence.” The patient stays

wide awake and does not

enter a trance. She says

the technique has also

been used in some surg-

eries around the world

and thinks it could help

10 to 25 percent of dental

patients who are anxious.

The procedure involves

the dentist taking five to

Dr. Maria-Cristina Iova with new certificate and checking over a chart.

10 minutes to talk with the patient adding that it’s

“more of a relaxation thing.” When her course is

finalized she will be called a certified hypnotherapist.

The Provost dentist has also finished extra courses

in aesthetics dentistry in May and June in Las Vegas

on weekends where she put in approximately 75

hours of study. That knowledge can be used to “re-

make a smile” for those that may have deformed or

out of aligned teeth

employing the use of

veneers and crowns

made of new generation

porcelain. Although Iova

has done work in that

before she recently

worked on a patient (one

of her own staff) that is

having a wedding this

summer and worked on

10 of the woman’s teeth.

Teeth were not moved in

the mouth because a

faster fix was asked for.

Orthodontics would have

moved and re-aligned the

teeth.

In addition the

Provost dentist last year

took courses on sleep

studies including snoring

and sleep apnea which

might be in part related

to a malformation of the

jaw which could position

the tongue to cause a

breathing obstruction

when someone is asleep.

The KP Kindergarten

class has shown fantastic

progress as beginning

readers throughout this

school year. The stu-

dents completed their

reading program by

adding in their final

selection to their poem

books and completing

the last take home story

of the year, “Bedtime on

the Farm”. Listening to

factual books about farm

animals has continued to

teach the class some

amazing animal facts

while providing opportu-

nities to work on compre-

hension skills.

Measuring animals with

cubes was a great hands-

on way to review number

concepts. During this

past week, the students

had an opportunity to use

life jackets and practice

their swimming skills

and dives in the deep

end.

This week the Grade

1W class was thrilled to

be able to see butterflies

emerge from their

chrysalides. They also

have nine cocoons that

they hope to see the

moths emerge from.

Getting ready for

Father’s Day provided an

opportunity for creativity

and writing. It is hoped

that all dads enjoyed their

day.

The Grade 2 students

continue to explore small

crawling and flying

insects. They are now

doing various experi-

ments to find out more

about the earthworm's

habits. The students

enjoyed their last visit to

the Hillcrest Lodge for

the year. They did a fabu-

lous job performing

“Goldilocks and the

Three Bears”, followed

by an interview about life

when the seniors were

young. Parents were also

invited in to enjoy the

play performance. Well

done, class.

Grade 3 CR students

have loved their time in

the pool improving their

strokes and water safety

knowledge. They were

glad to be done with

PATs as their focus is dis-

appearing for the year!

Making books to cheer

up Mrs. Clarke-Rennie

when she was recovering

Depression. In science

students are wrapping up

their unit on wetlands.

They are very excited

about their upcoming

field trips to Dilberry

Lake and to Buckingham

House.

The Grade 6B students

are glad that provincial

achievement testing is

complete. They are look-

ing forward to their field

trip to Moose Jaw where

they will visit the tunnels

and learn about Al

Capone. The students

have begun an active cit-

izenship project in social

studies. They brain-

stormed things they

would like to change in

the community and

school and then voted on

which one would make

the greatest impact.

They all decided that

they wanted to decrease

littering in the communi-

ty. The class worked

together to develop a

plan. They are going to

donate garbage cans to

the community so people

have some place to put

their garbage, instead of

on the street.

The school wide plas-

ma car races have come

to an end. The grand

winners of them all was

the team Line Riders!

They consisted of four

Grade 5 students; David

Baier, Kaden Nelson,

Darian Brouwer, and

Trey Latimer. When

interviewed for this sub-

mission the boys com-

mented on how easy their

win was against the team

Royals referring to it as a

“royal flush”. They are

also looking forward to

Mr. White, Mrs. Slater,

Mr. Pylypow and Ms.

Hagen reading this sub-

mission. This team of

teachers lost against the

boys.

The jr. high leadership

class would like to send

their gratitude to all the

teachers and students

who welcomed them into

their classrooms this

year. It is such a valuable

experience to work with

others and the students

appreciate being given

this awesome opportuni-

ty. The elementary stu-

dents and staff also

appreciated all the help

they were given by these

students who are devel-

oping awesome leader-

ship skills.

The Student

Leadership Advisory

Committee held their 1st

annual car wash for a

cause on Saturday, June

11 at the school parking

lot. They also included a

hot dog and hamburger

sale. The group was rais-

ing money for the Slave

Lake residents effected

by the fire that ripped

through their town. With

the support of this com-

munity they were able to

raise $1000.

———————

and thank their work

experience student,

Richard, showed their

respect and appreciation

as well as great ideas and

writing skills. The class

is excited about the

Father’s Day gifts they

threw together and scent-

ed up. They know their

dads will love both. The

class is excited to share

their powerpoint presen-

tations about the animal

they have researched

with any guests who

would like to join them

in the elementary com-

puter lab on June 21 or

June 27.

The Grade 5 students

The Provost and District Family and CommunitySupport Services (FCSS) provides a counselling programthat is housed in the Provost Provincial Building withservices offered on Wednesdays, Thursdays and alternateFridays. No referral is necessary. This confidentialprogram is funded by your tax dollars and there are noadditional charges.

People use counseling for a variety of reasons.They may be concerned with developmental issues,addressing and resolving specific problems, makingdecisions, coping with crisis, developing personalinsights and knowledge, working through feelings ofinner conflict, or improving relationships with others.The counsellor’s role is to facilitate the client’s work inways that respect the client’s values, personal resourcesand capacity for self-determination.

If you have never been in counselling before, youmay be wondering what to expect. The purpose ofcounselling is to enable you to resolve your issues so thatyou can live more satisfyingly and resourcefully. It ismore disciplined and confidential than friendship; allcounsellors are required to meet a Code of Ethics andConduct which they must follow. And, although friendsknow and perhaps understand you better, they willsometimes have a bias or preference for you. Counsellorsdo not have a vested interest in your choices and canfacilitate a neutral discussion.

Counselling is a place where you will be encouragedand empowered to be the best person you can be.

To make an appointment you can call 780-753-2542.

4816-50 AVE. • PROVOST, ALTA.

SEE YOUR DENTIST BEFORESTARTING CANCER TREATMENTS

Before a cancer patient begins chemotherapyor radiation treatment, a visit to the dentist maybe in order.

Chemotherapy and radiation treatment to thehead and neck reduces the production of saliva,as well as weakening the immune system.Because of this, problems already present in themouth can be aggravated. If the problembecomes severe enough, cancer therapy mayhave to be interrupted until the dental problemis fixed.

Ideally, a cancer patient would have dentaltreatment completed two to four weeks prior tocancer treatment, but it can be done closer tothe date if immediate cancer treatment isnecessary. The patient would receive acomplete dental cleaning and examination.Any obvious decay, infected gums and soreswould be treated immediately. X-rays wouldalso be taken to look for any not-so-obviousproblems that can be treated or prevented.

Your dentist will also assist in care duringcancer treatment and may recommend dailyfluoride at-home treatments.

If you have concerns about dental care forcancer patients, be sure to ask your dentist.

Buck GregoryFrank Buckley (Buck) Gregory died May 13,

Born and raised in Provost, Alta., Buckmarried Teresa McRae in 1956. The legacy heshared with Teresa includes fivechildren, 17 grandchildren andeight great-grandchildren.Eventually known as “Mr.Provost,” Buck started working atthe age of 12. By the time he was20, he was running his ownbusinesses. Buck owned andoperated Gregory’s Funeral HomesLtd. for more than 50 years. Hisother business endeavoursincluded a 20-year commitment toGregory’s Ambulance Service. Hissons still operate ProvostInsurance Agencies (Provost), E.Anderson Agencies (Hughenden) and Century21 Provost Realty Ltd.

Buck will be forever missed by his wifeTeresa and their children: Randy (Carol), Dale(Annette) and Gail, all of Provost, and Joy(Gary Varty) and Kari (Rick Mazurkewich) ofCalgary. They also leave to mourngrandchildren Lyndsay (Klaas Hendricks),

The Gregory family thanks all of thepeople whose prayers and acts ofkindness helped all of us during the 11

years since Buck was diagnosed with prostatecancer. We are especially appreciative of thecare, compassion and expertise of Dr. StephanMalan and Dr. Deon Erasmus, as well as thelate Dr. John Hnatuik. The skill and kindnessexhibited by all of the staff at Provost HealthCare Centre, from medical personnel tohousekeeping, was a wonder to behold and weknow that we are blessed to be among suchgood people.

Our family is grateful for our relationshipwith the people of St. Mary’s Parish and give

Thinking Out Loud

with

Lucie

Trutnau

I’ve been thinking

about the number

100 lately . . .

— 100 white cat hairs

stuck to the clothing of

anyone who comes to

visit me. My cat Wendy

is very generous with

guests. She hates to see

them leave without a few

little souvenirs of their

stay.

— 100 bottles of

Revlon’s “Touch of

Mauve” nail polish

which I’ve used in the

seven years I’ve been

doing nails at Hillcrest

Lodge. Every once in a

while, one of the ladies

will take pity on me and

use a different shade, but

nothing “flashy”.

— 100 pennies will

make up a dollar, unless

it’s an American dollar,

in which case you’ll only

need 97 pennies. Call it

schaden-freude if you

will, but I’m quietly

thrilled whenever our

dollar is worth more than

a Yankee dollar.

— 100 bedding plants

in my flower pots this

summer, most of which

are still alive, although

some of the petunias look

like they need medical

help.

—100 English essays

per week that I used to

grade while still

teaching, even though I

knew perfectly well

some of them were

“borrowed” off the

internet.

— 100 mosquito bites

in the average summer,

despite copious and

frequent applications of

bug repellent.

— 100 popcorn

kernels you can eat

before breaking a tooth.

— 100 birds nesting in

my hedges and trees,

every one of whom starts

chirping, twittering,

whistling and cawing at 5

a.m.

— 100 years before

something turns into a

priceless piece of old

junk. (My car only has 85

years to go.)

— 100 vehicles going

through the intersection

up by the school each

morning between 8:15

and 8:45; drivers, can

you say, “school zone”?

—100 dollars —

almost enough to take a

family of four to the

movies and provide them

with munchies.

— 100 books that I’ve

borrowed from the local

library over the past year

or so, which is about 15¢

per book—a real bargain.

— 100 clicks per hour

on the TV remote

control, as I try to find

something worth

watching.

— 100 souvenir tea

towels that I’ve collected

in my years of travel.

They’re cheap, easy to

pack, and I can relive my

holidays as I dry my

dishes.

—100 computer-

dialed telemarketing

calls interrupting our

lives every year.

— 100 websites you

have to trawl through

before you find the one

bit of information you

were looking for.

— 100 CDs in your

collection which you

bought because there was

one song you liked on

each album.

— 100 vinyl records

sitting in a storage box in

the basement as you wait

for record players to

make a come back.

— 100 minutes of

commercials to sit

through in an evening’s

television viewing.

— 100 calories worth

of junk food you can eat

before feeling guilty

about pigging out.

And what brought on

this fixation on the

number 100? Well, this is

my 100th “Thinking Out

Loud” article, which

means my column is

officially an antique.

George Bernard

Ph. 780-857-2673

The trouble with

writing these ‘stories’ of

mine ahead of time, I

sometimes guess wrong

about some items or

events that haven’t

happened or will happen

but I don’t think you

really notice whenever I

miss the boat. I try not to

write about the same

subjects or content that

Lucie writes about and

on a few occasions she

has ‘stolen’ my thunder

so I just don’t talk about

it. We talk to each other

sometimes but never

what we are going to

write about.

Back in early May her

column described

‘warm’ milk. True. Milk

chutes, also true but we

didn’t have one in our

house in Calgary. And in

the ’40s, milk was

delivered by a horse

drawn wagon. I read her

column four times to

make sure something

wasn’t there. Do you

remember when

margarine came on the

market? It was white and

the package contained

yellow food coloring so

the margarine could be

colored to look like you

know what.

About a month ago

someone asked me how

come I write about the

past so often. My answer

was that I have more

years behind me than I

have years ahead of me.

Besides the resident

‘historians’ like to have

their stories told. Where

else do you think I get

some of my ideas.

It is often said

“plagerism is the highest

form of flattery.” This is

not my line . . . ‘Part of

where I’m going is

knowing where I’m

coming from.’ This was

the statement or message

for the grads at a recent

graduation. That line

pretty much sums it up

for people of all ages.

I like to pick on large

corporations. I am very

selective of which ones I

pick on. I have to have

had first-hand

experience or I can quote

from a reliable source. I

don’t get into politics

because all elected

politicians think they are

little ‘gods’ so I don’t

talk about religions

either. I do have

question(s) for the

Canadian Pacific

Railway (CPR). Why are

the railroad tracks so

crooked? Is it because

the CPR got the section

they were going through

plus the sections on both

sides of that section?

Was this land grant

forever or just for as

long as there were

railroad tracks? If the

CPR takes out the track,

should it have to give the

land back. This ‘theft’ of

land has a close parallel

in 2010-11 with the

stripping of property

owner’s rights in favor

of the large electrical

corporations who are

primarily concerned

with servicing ‘big oil’ at

the expense of the small

user. When election time

comes around, why do

our minds go ‘blank’ ?

So when this new

power transmission line

is built and property

owners are raped on an

individual basis of their

property rights, how is

the CPR going to be

treated when their

granted/seized land is

crossed?

In closing, I would

like to pass on a little

story as told to me by

Mindy at the Red Lion

many years ago. Mindy

always called me

“Norm” (from Cheers).

She still calls me “Norm”

at the ATB. Anyways, the

“Buffalo Theory”

according to Mindy . . .

“Well, ya see, Norm, it’s

like this. A herd of

buffalo can only move as

fast as the slowest

buffalo. And when the

herd is hunted, it is the

slowest and weakest ones

at the back that are killed

first. This natural

selection is good for the

herd as a whole, because

the general speed and

health of the herd keeps

improving. In much the

same way, the human

brain can only operate as

fast as the slowest brain

cells. Excessive intake

of alcohol, as we know,

kills brain cells. But

naturally, it attacks the

slowest and weakest

brain cells first. In this

way, regular

consumption of beer

eliminates the weaker

brain cells, making the

brain faster and more

efficient. That’s why you

always feel smarter after

a few beers.” . . . time for

a beer!

IN MEMORIAM ———

In loving memory of Kaye Nishwho passed away June 22, 2010.God saw you getting tired,And the cure was not to be,He wrapped you in His lovingarms,And whispered “Come with Me.”You suffered much in silence,Your spirit did not bend.You faced your pain with courage,Until the very end.You tried so hard to stay with us,Your fight was all in vain,God took you to His loving home,And freed you from all pain.You didn’t deserve what you wentthrough,And so he gave you rest,Never does a day go byWe do not think of youA golden heart stopped beatingTwo working hands at rest.When the days are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong,We seem to hear you whisper,‘Cheer up and carry on’.Each time we see your picture,You seem to smile and say,‘Don’t cry, I’m only sleepingAnd we’ll meet again someday.

Sadly missed,Patti, Vanessa,

Deon and Cindy, Brynn, DeeganDan, Roy and Connie

and families—22Jn1p

President of the Provost Agricultural Society, Richard Larson (centre)

accepts $1,457.90 from Provost and District Chamber of Commerce

representatives Anne Fraser (left) and Kathy Meier. The money was

raised from a pancake breakfast held at Crescent Point Place before

the parade on Saturday, June 18. Larson says plans are being made to

gravel the parking lot near the new arena, likely this summer and that

so far an estimated $50,000 has been raised. Paving could follow when

more money is raised. ©PROVOST NEWS PHOTO.

Cash for Parking Lot

In the Sermon on

the Mount, Jesus told thegathered multitude thatthey were to be the salt ofthe earth. His words weremeant for us, too.

Salt preserves foodfrom decay and rot; asChrist's followers we arecalled to keep our societyfrom decaying. Saltpromotes thirst; we are tohelp others find a thirstfor Jesus. Salt permeatesfood; we are to permeatesociety with the love ofJesus and the moralvalues necessary for agood society.

This story helps toillustrates that last point.

In a gun factory in theUnited States, an unusual

and forth, back and forth,while the bar remainedmotionless.

More minutes wentby...two...five...10...ahalf hour. Then suddenlyunder the relentlessbarrage, and so nearlyimperceptibly as to seemalmost an illusion, thesteel bar was seen totremble. A few momentslater it shuddered as ifseized with a nervoustremor, hung quietlyagain, then shudderedagain.

There was nodeviation in the motionof the cork. Steadily,without haste, itcontinued its noiselessassault. And now themovements of the greatsteel bar became lesstremulous as it settledinto the beginning of anorderly pattern ofmotion, graduallypicking up the rhythm ofthe swinging cork.

In another half hourthe cork, its workfinished, had been cutdown and the heavy barwas swinging back andforth as steadily and asrhythmically as apendulum.

There is a moral here,isn't there? When weencounter seeminglyimmovable objects, we feelthat we can do nothingabout them.

How can I, singlehandedmake even the slightestimpact, we wonder.

We each are only oneperson. So we do nothing.

But if an almostweightless cork can, by itsgentle persistenthammering, set a heavy barof steel in motion, why can'twe, with nothing more thana friendly good morningday after day, convince ourstandoffish neighbour tobecome a friend?

Or why can't our quietyet constant reiteration of atruth finally make animpression on the mostdeeply rooted prejudice?

And in a broader sense,can't we, by continuallyspeaking against an evil or alack in our communities,eventually influence otherpeople so that the minority

experiment was con-ducted. A bottle cork,weighing less than fourgrams, was suspended byan almost invisiblethread alongside a heavysteel bar, itself hungvertically from a beam

by a slender metal chain.The cork, set in

motion, began to swinggently against the steelbar. For a long time therewas nothing to be seenbut its rhythmic,noiseless swaying back

of one will become amajority large enough tocorrect that evil or lack?

If a little cork can do it--

so can we.This is what Jesus meant

when he said we are to bethe salt of the earth.

Thank You

Iwould like to thank my children, relatives andfriends, for my wonderful 80th birthdaycelebration. I could not have wished for

anything better.

“Thank you everyone!”Bill Roadhouse

‘No Respect’People who are using Communities in Bloom

flowerpots for their own use such as planting

garage sale signs in them “have no respect for all

the work that we have done” says spokesman Betty

Varty—who yanked this sign (above) up from

another barrel and brought it downtown to be

photographed. She adds that school students who

helped out planting flowers this year won’t be

happy to see the containers used for advertising

purposes. Varty saw three or four flowerpots

being used in this fashion without permission and

another sign was placed between flowerpots,

taking away from the decoration. This is not the

first year flowerpots have been highjacked by

others but now it’s getting worse say the people

who take the time to put them out. Some new pots

now in use this year (top, right) have some limited

plumbing for a water reservoir in them below the

dirt which might get damaged if people continue

to pound wooden stakes in the barrels to hold up

signs. Varty says that “We will phone the town in

the future and have them deal with it (using pots

for signs) and maybe they will call the RCMP.”
