One of the largest Canada Day crowds to have ever in recent memory gathered at the Kamsack sports ground turned up last week to wave the flag, eat, drink, play and cheer in celebration of the 148th anniversary of the nation.

The heavy smoke which permeated all of the provincelast week was said to have been a bit of a blessing because it blocked the sun’s heating rays thereby lowering the daytimetemperature somewhat.

An 18-year-old Cote First Nation man is dead and a second man is charged with several Criminal Code offences stemming from an incident that occurred in Kamsack early on Canada Day.

At 3:15 a.m. on July 1, Kamsack RCMP received a complaint from an off-duty RCMP offi cer who had observed an ATV (quad) with three males being driven erratically on Queen Elizabeth Boule-vard in Kamsack, said a release from the RCMP.

The driver of the ATV fl agged down and spoke with the off-duty officer moments later near the Kamsack sports grounds,

advising that one of the male passengers had been seriously injured, the release said. The male passenger, Brandon Cote, 18, of Cote First Nation, died at the scene.

Upon arrival by on-duty Kamsack RCMP officers, the investigation deter-mined that the ATV had been stolen from private property at Madge Lake, it said.

The d r ive r o f t he ATV, Kay lon Tourangeau-Genaille, 18, was charged with: one count of dangerous driving causing death (section 249(4) of the Criminal Code); one count of break, en-ter and commit (section 348(3)(b) of the Criminal Code); one count of theft of mo-

tor vehicle (section 333.1 of the Criminal Code); one count of theft under $5,000 (section 334(b) of the Criminal Code), and one count of possession of stolen property over $5,000 (section 354(1)(a) of the Criminal Code).

Tourangeau-Genaille appeared in Sas-katchewan Provincial Court in Canora at 9:30 a.m. July 2, when his case was ad-journed to 9:30 a.m. on July 14 at provin-cial court in Kamsack.

The other passenger, a 19-year-old male from Cote First Nation remains in custody and charges are pending, the release said.

Kamsack RCMP, Yorkton General

Investigation Section, Major Crime UnitSouth and a Traffic Services collision re-constructionist continue to investigate, itsaid. According to RCMP policy, the Re-gina Police Service will conduct an inde-pendent investigation into the involvementof an off-duty RCMP offi cer and report theresults to the Ministry of Justice and At-torney General.

In addition to the independent externalinvestigation, the RCMP has contacted theMinistry of Justice and the appointment anindependent observer is being consideredunder the authority of the SaskatchewanPolice Act, it said.

In addition, the Chernoff Scholarship of $3,300 and the GSSD Scholarship of $400 will be awarded in the autumn after the students’ fi nal marks are known.

The Pr ince o f Wales and Duchess of Cornwall Scholarship of $500, which is awarded to a Grade 11 student to assist with his or her education in Grade 12, was presented to Jacquell-ine Villeneuve.

Tributes and repliesRyan Gareau read a let-

ter from the Minister of Education and then Kaytlyn Placatka paid tribute to the Good Spirit School Divi-sion.

“Good spirit can be de-fined as genuine, optimis-tic, and enthusiastic. The Good Spirit School Divi-sion is just that,” Placatka said. “Today we are here to celebrate this milestone with all of you, but none of this would be possible without the division.

“Our educational system is what has gotten us here,

and acknowledging that is extremely important,” she said. “As students we often fail to see all the planning and work that goes into cre-ating a good, solid educa-tion; but we know everyone has done their jobs, because we are graduating.

“The Good Spirit School Division is the working force that keeps students fully engaged in a learning environment. The (board) employs our teaching staff, provides funds, and exam-ines new learning strategies to provide us with an even better education. Without (the board) we would not have the same privileges we do today, no textbooks, no bus drivers, no extra-curricular act ivi t ies, or any school trips that leave lasting memories with our peers.

“Thanks to it we were able to grow up together, learn together, and work together to build a better future; one of its mottos.

“(The board is) respon-sible for many great pro-grams, the education we

have received, and what future students will receive. The Good Spirit School Division deserves a huge round of applause for all they have accomplished, and for truly making stu-dents come fi rst,” Placatka said.

Bryan Cottenie of Kam-sack replied.

Rylan Cote, a member of Cote First Nation, gave thanks to Firs t Nat ions communities.

“Without your support guidance and encourage-ment we would not be who we are today,” Cote said. “We are proud to stand be-

fore you and remember our culture and who we are as First Nations people.

“As a community we can be an inspiration for each other and we can have the vision to make a better future together,” he said. “Thank you.”

Morgan Fatteicher paid tribute to the teachers and AnnaLee Parnetta replied.

Reply to tributeto teachers

“I am extremely hon-oured to provide the reply on behalf of all the teach-ers you have encountered throughout your elemen-tary and secondary educa-tion,” Parnetta said before quoting Henry Brooks who said: “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his infl uence stops.”

“What a wonderful quote on the important influence we as educators have on our students and their fu-ture,” Parnetta said. “But as a teacher I can say that the influence goes both ways. Last week I’m pretty sure that I was like all of your former teachers. I was star-ing at the centre page of the Kamsack Times in disbelief that time has gone so fast. It has been 13 years and here we are. When I looked at each one of your beauti-ful and handsome cap-and-gown pictures a flood of memories came back for myself as I remember when many of you began your

school career.“ Yo u r K i n d e rg a r t e n

teachers were probably thinking of how little and nervous you were as you f i r s t en te red in to your schooling experience, your backpacks almost bigger than your bodies! Your elementary teachers were probably reflecting on the fun, excitement for learn-ing and discovering that each of your twinkl ing eyes held. They probably thought about the growth that they saw as you went from the little ones in Kin-dergarten to the Grade 4 students and leaders of the elementary school.

LOOKING BACK...

A Decade Ago


Murray Mandryk is a politicalcolumnist with the Leader-Post

It was just a little smoke ... or rather, a lot of wood smoke blanketing southern Saskatchewan like about a million campfi res.

But it was hardly that sweet smell of dried burnt poplar, birch or fi r that so many of us enjoy on summer camping or fi shing trips. The smoke that we experienced last week from the northern forest fi res in and around La Ronge was the choking, eye-watering kind that somehow reminded us how connected we really are.

It was a reminder to all of us in this province – rural, city and north – that we are all connected by shared prob-lems.

A lack of jobs in the booming cities means fewer taxes to pay for roads schools and hospitals. A borderline drought that we might be headed for in rural southern farming area means a slowdown in the entire provincial economy. Similarly, a fall in oil, potash and even north-ern uranium prices means less royalty money to do the things we need to do as a growing province.

That dreaded smoke wafting down from the north into our eyes and throats was nothing but irritating trouble.

It isn’t just the loss of timber, that isn’t quite the exciting industry it was 30 years ago when the then Grant Devine government was announcing the sale of the government-owned Prince Albert Pulp and Paper Company (Papco) to Weyerhaeuser that would cause a two-decade boom in Prince Albert with the province’s

Smoke from north reminds us we are connected

fi rst paper mill.Paper became a less-valued commodity in the sudden

arrival of the electronic age. Nor has traditional pulp log-ging in the north been the big economic player it once was, so the comparatively small section of northern for-est burning won’t actually be that big a deal.

It wasn’t the economic loss of fl y-in or drive-in fi sh-ers and campers with the closure of Hwy. No. 2 from Prince Albert to La Ronge. This is, admittedly, a big deal for fl y-in fi shing camps that will be hammered by this – especially with the road closures and the fact that every available airplane will be commandeered to fight the fi res. And then there is the direct impact on the economy of La Ronge, itself – a community that’s highly depen-dent on the short summer tourism season to get it through the year.

It’s also the extraordinary cost to fight these fires to

protect both communities and forest resources. A prov-ince that struggled to get by with a meagre $62-milllionsurplus in 2014-15 is already starting 2015-16 with $700million in the hole in borrowing can ill-afford any eco-nomic hit. Fighting forest fires tends to often be a bigeconomic hit – one that often quickly rises to the tens ofmillions of dollars.

Really, no good came out of that northern smoke last week in the same way that no good ever comes out ofhail, drought or a fall in mineral prices.

But it does remind us how we are all connected as one province. One area of the province’s problems quicklybecomes shared by all of us.

At the time of writing of this, neither the community of La Ronge nor the heavily populated nearby La RongeFirst Nations threatened. That said, close to 1,000 peoplefrom communities like Sucker River, Waden Bay andEnglish River were already evacuated. And communitieslike Stanley Mission and Nemeiben Lake were isolatedby roads being cut off by smoke and fi re.

Imagine if 1,000 city people or rural residents had topack up and go because of a grass fi re or a train derail-ment? It’s pretty much the same for those who choose tolive in places that most of us only choose to visit briefl yas a nice, pleasant summer holiday.

That smoke last week somehow seemed to connect usall.

Sherri Bourgon of Kamsack became Canada’s top junior long jump athlete after having jumped a personal best of 5.55 metres at the Canadian junior Track-and-Field Championship in Montreal. Bourgon, 18, had qualifi ed to compete in Montreal after having won gold in triple jump and long jump at the Saskatchewan High School Provincial Track-and-Field Championship in Regina.

*****Rick Aikman, Kamsack’s Emergency Measures

Organization co-ordinator, said that it would be another year before the EMO would be in a position to stage a mock disaster as a training exercise. He had wanted as many members as possible attend a basic training course in Kamsack in January.

*****An appeal to residents willing to volunteer to help

tend the Trackside Garden resulted in several persons agreeing to meet on Tuesday mornings to help assure the Garden of Saskatchewan would be looking its best during the summer.

*****In May, while some regular players were ill and oth-

ers had left the team, it had looked as though the Kam-sack senior slo-pitch team would not be able to find enough players for the season. But, after sick members recovered and with at least two new members, the team not only formed, but in its fi rst exhibition game of the year, the team defeated Swan River 36-26.

Letter to the Editor

All things considered... Of mice and womenBy Gail Krawetz of Invermay


It is increasingly obvious that much in our world moving forward will not be imposed by government regulation, but rather by the philosophies put forward by big business.

An example of the power business holds came clearly into focus recently after so much attention was focused on the symbolism of the Confederate fl ag in the United States in the wake of the massacre in Charleston, which left nine African-Americans dead in their church.

The shooter, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, has confessed to the murders, and has been quoted as wanting to start a race war.

A widely circulated photo of the shooter holding a gun and a Confederate fl ag brought the debate of the fl ag’s racist roots to the forefront, quickly becoming a political football. Some politicians have called for the fl ag’s removal, at least from public buildings, others are defending the flag just as adamantly.

Meanwhile big business has taken action on the issue. Walmart, Amazon, eBay and Sears all announced bans on

the sale of Confederate fl ag merchandise. “The announcements are the latest indication that the fl ag,

a symbol of the slave-holding South, has become toxic in the aftermath of a shooting last week at a historic African-Amer-ican church in Charleston, South Carolina. Gov. Nikki Haley announced in a Monday afternoon news conference that she supports removing the Confederate fl ag from the state capitol grounds,” reported www.cnn.com.

The business decision in this case is a powerful one of social awareness in regards to what the fl ag means for a large

Farmers must be ready to be part of the discussion

portion of their customers. Not all decisions are popular of course, even those which

fall on the correct side of contentious debates. In January 2012, Starbucks joined Microsoft and Nike

in announcing support of a Washington state bill to legalize same-sex marriage, which ultimately passed.

There was a backlash from anti-gay groups against Star-bucks, but the company has remained steadfast.

“If you feel respectfully that you can get a higher return [than] the 38 per cent you got last year, it’s a free coun-try,” said Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, during the an-nual shareholders meeting on March 21. “You could sell your shares at Starbucks and buy shares in other companies,” detailed www.money.cnn.com.

So how does this relate to farming?Well as business fl exes its muscles in terms of determining

which direction the broader society will go, some of its deci-sions will impact how we farm in the future.

It’s already happening actually.

The Western Producer website (www.producer.com) re-cently published a story on a company pushing dairy produc-ers in a particular direction.

“Saputo, a Montreal based dairy processor, says it will re-fuse milk from farms that fail to treat cows humanely,” beganthe story.

“The new policy is expected to be implemented acrossSaputo’s operations in Canada, the United States, Australiaand Argentina.

“In a June 1 news release, the company announced itwould not accept milk from farms that dock tails or that failto administer pain control for dehorning and disbudding ofcalves.”

That may seem like a reasonable decision, although thefarm practices they want adjusted have been long-standingones, and while pain control may be reasonable it does addcosts to the farm, costs that neither the company, nor are con-sumers likely to rush to cover.

The concern for farmers is how far business may go inmandating farm practices. The possibilities can be positivein terms of infl uence, and could just as easily be detrimental.Consider a large food chain not accepting any foods whichwere not certifi ed to have not been sprayed with glyphosatein the wake of the recent report from the International Agencyfor Research on Cancer, (IARC), an arm of the World HealthOrganization that the product is a potential carcinogen.

While farmers may have a limited voice with big businessdecisions, they should at least be poised to be part of debateswhich are sure to come.

ATV safety is hardly child’s play. In fact, when it comes to the various dangers as-sociated with off-roading, children are the most vulnerable demographic. Studies have shown that the average age of individuals who are treated at emergency departments in Canada for ATV-related injuries is 15 years, which is less than the legal driving age of conventional motor vehicles.

As the general manager of the Saskatch-ewan All-Terrain Vehicle Association (SAT-VA) safety campaign Know Your Limits, I always stress the importance of children following ATV safety practices.

Children have the highest amount of limitations when it comes to ATVs, because they do not possess the physical develop-ment to safely drive large ATVs or the cognitive ability to react to potentially dan-gerous situations – regardless of their size

or maturity.Before children begin ATVing, they

should take a training course from one of the qualified instructors throughout Sas-katchewan. This will teach them how to be safe while enjoying some off-roading ac-tion. To put this into perspective, note that to legally drive a conventional motor vehicle – such as a car or truck – individuals are re-quired to be 16 years of age, complete an in-structional course, pass a practical exam that tests driver competency and follow the en-forced rules of the road. It only makes sense then that ATVers would take similar steps to ensure they are competent on the trail.

Conventional motor vehicles also come with built-in protective measures such as seatbelts and air bags, which reduce the risk of injury and add to a driver’s sense of security. The same safety measures aren’t

found on an ATV, even though a full-size ATV weighs over 225 kg. (500 lbs.) and is capable of reaching highway speeds. There-fore, young adults who ATV without having taken a safety course or wearing the proper gear are putting themselves at risk.

You wouldn’t give your children the keys to your car if they have received no driver training. Allowing them to ATV under the same circumstances is just as reckless and can have lethal results.

Once children receive the proper instruc-tion, it’s time to select the proper vehicle. It is recommended that children ride “age appropriate” ATVs: vehicles with an engine size no greater than 70cc for children under 12 years of age; vehicles with an engine size no greater than 90cc for children under 16 years of age.

Beyond that, children must adhere to the

strict policies every other ATVer follows:avoid taking passengers; wear protectivegear (helmet, gloves, ankle boots, longpants, long-sleeved shirt); don’t speed orattempt tricky manoeuvers; ride in appro-priate settings; don’t drink and ride; carrya communications device and designate anemergency contact.

By simply using your head you can avoid a potentially dangerous situation. BeforeATVing, take time to honestly reflect anddetermine whether or not you have takenevery precaution necessary. While ATVing,ensure you driving in a safe manner.

SATVA was formed in 2006 to unite ATVclubs and users into a single voice to pro-mote the safe and responsible use of ATVsin Saskatchewan.

John MeedSATVA general manager

Make ATV safety a priority for your child

Ahhh yes! Summer and it’s time to be outdoors to enjoy the great weather.

Unfortunately we are not the only ones taking advantage of the warm temperatures. This is also the season for ticks, mos-quitoes (although they have been quite tolerable this year), horse fl ies, ants and tent caterpillars. As annoying as these pests can be, they seem like child’s play compared to some of the nasties that exist in other parts of the world.

In my case it was an encounter I had about a year ago in Arizona. It

happened on a rare, rainy day when I decided to paint a piece of furniture in our garage. Ken laid down a nice, big piece of cardboard to protect the floor (later I would learn that this was our fi rst mis-take) and I donned my old clothes and a pair of flip-fl ops (which turned out to be the second mistake).

As I knelt down paint-ing away, I suddenly felt a sharp, hot pinch on my big toe. Not realizing what had just transpired, I looked down only to see a three-inch scorpion beside my foot with its tail still curled high ready to strike again.

“ O h , m y G o d ! ” I t h o u g h t a s I q u i c k l y jumped up. “I’ve been bi t ten by a scorpion!” (Technically it’s a sting, but who’s worrying about semantics when you think you have been mortally wounded?)

I ran to the back door, opened it and screamed several times to Ken, “I’ve been bitten by a scorpion! I’ve been bitten by a scor-pion!” I’m sure the en-tire neighbourhood heard my distress calls. He came rushing out, asked where it was and proceeded to put an end to its existence with one whack from my shoe.

Then he turned to me and asked if he should take me to a hospital. By this time I had calmed down, realized that I wasn’t dying and replied, “Let me Google it fi rst.”

Well, after doing some research I discovered, to my great relief, that scor-pions in Arizona are not lethal to adults, but the site advised that the scorpion should be captured in a jar so that the type could be verified. (There are over 40 varieties in Arizona.) Well, that wasn’t going to happen since Ken had smacked it so hard that all that remained was a grease

spot on the floor. How-ever, from the description it appeared that I had met up with a bark scorpion, the worst one. The other advice was to apply cold compresses and take pain meds.

I won’t sugarcoat it – it hurt like the dickens and my foot had frequent sharp stabbing pains for the fi rst while and then just went numb for most of the day. But I used the opportunity to allow Ken to attend to my every need and man-aged just fi ne. As I relaxed with my foot propped up, I researched scorpions and discovered that they like

to crawl under things likecardboard.

Suddenly our Saskatch-ewan bugs didn’t seemso onerous, but these pes-ky nuisances still have away of ruining a perfectlywonderful summer day.Considering the long, coldwinter days that we en-dure, I would have thought we might have been spared such annoyances. Now,where did I put that can ofmosquito spray?

Five slo-pitch teams joined the Kamsack Royals to compete in the Canada Day tournament.

Teams were from Swan River, Dau-phin, Preeceville, Melville and Canora, said Eugene Krawetz, an organizer.

In the competition, the Royals fi rst lost 6-4 to Melville and then defeated Dauphin 7-4. In their last game, the Royals lost to Preeceville 13-1.

The tournament had no ultimate winners or losers, Krawetz said.

Everyone played for the fun of the game.

The Royals are preparing to play at a tournament in Preeceville on Sunday and then will be in Swan River on July22 and in Canora on August 16.

Six slo-pitch teams, from Swan River, Dauphin, Preeceville, Melville, Canora and Kamsack, participatedin the Canada Day tournament in Kamsack last week.

The late Albert Cotte-nie of Kamsack will be in-ducted, posthumously, into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame in the individ-ual category as a player and builder, during a reception at Battleford on August 15.

The son of Gustaf and Irma Cottenie, Albert was born January 10, 1921, said information from the Baseball Hall of Fame. His parents had come to Cana-da from Belgium in 1920, settling in the Prairie View area north of Veregin. From there they moved to Kam-sack where Albert’s love of baseball started with inter-school competition.

Initially, Cottenie played with the Cote Royals but in 1947, he became an origi-nal member of the Kam-sack Cyclones. That name “Kamsack Cyclones” was prompted by a devastating tornado that struck the town on August 9, 1944.

During the course of a

Member of renowned Kamsack Cyclones baseball team to be inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame

year, the Cyclones played league, exhibition and tour-nament games, the informa-tion said. The 1951 line-up included crowd pleasers Jim-mie McIsaac and Charlie Achtemychuk, in addition to Cottenie who took turns at catching and second base.

Ever versatile, Cottenie also played outfi eld. Tommy Yee of the Star Café in Ka-msack supplied a steak din-ner for any Cyclone who had hit a home run. Cottenie was very well fed, thanks

to his batting power at the plate.

As a farmer and an el-evator agent, there was little time for ball.

As his widow, Ethel, put it, “He made time.”

The success of the Kam-sack Cyclones over a period of three years, was historic

and attributable to four fac-tors: a strong core of local players including Cottenie, Stan Green, Dave Kosteniuk and Achtemychuk; a group of talented young players from the College of Sequoi-as in California; a strong group of volunteers includ-ing Cottenie and other play-

ers, and Roy Taylor, athletic director of the College of Sequoias as team manager.

Weekends meant baseball games or sports days some-where, and Cottenie was the first to go, the information said. For home games, Cot-tenie would get a public ad-dress speaker on the box of the truck, take a microphone and drive to surrounding towns and villages informing locals it was baseball night in Kamsack.

The place to meet, vis-it and have a beer was the Cottenie home in Kamsack or their cottage at Madge Lake.

“Albert was always af-fable and smiling, promot-ing a sense of family and comradeship amongst the players,” it said. “Ethel, his wife, said she misses those times of fellowship.”

Cottenie’s great passion and love of the game of baseball was put to a severe test in March of 1953 when an accident at the eleva-tor severed his little finger on his left hand, part of his hand and part of his arm, requiring extensive skin grafting and physiotherapy, the information said. His doctor told him his baseball playing days were over, but Cottenie had other ideas. He worked on his disability

and when he was satisfiedthat he could carry his shareof the load on the playingfield, he was back playingthe game he loved.

Baseball was very promi-nent on the Canadian prai-ries when the towns hadtheir own teams and tour-naments that offered hand-some cash prizes, it said.Cottenie was part of that asboth a player and builder.

When Cottenie died in Kamsack on January 21,1999, “the community cameout to say goodbye to agood man who cherishedthe great game of baseball,and played it very well.”

ALBERT COTTENIEThe late Albert Cottenieof Kamsack, who wasan original player ofthe Kamsack Cyclonesb a s e b a l l t e a m , w i l lbe inducted into theSaskatchewan BaseballHall of Fame in August.

This display of Albert Cottenie’s basebal l memorabilia, which includes his uniform, gloves and team photograph, was created by members of his family.

Riverside Golf Club is embarking on a fundraising program with the objective of raising $50,000.

“We’d like to see at least half of that amount raised before the end of the sea-son,” Darryl Binkley, club president, said last week.

Last year the club spent $110,000 installing the au-tomated water system, Ken Cymbalisty, clubhouse man-ager, explained. “We raised

Riverside Golf Club begins fundraising for course enhancements

Riverside Golf Course, which can boast having one of only two island greens at Saskatchewan golf courses, is embarking on a fundraising program to help pay for the installation of the new automated watering system, a new pump to replace one that had been damaged by flooding and to make additional improvements. At the island green on hole No. 8 last week were Darryl Binkley, left, club president, and Ken Cymbalisty, club manager.

$94,000 and have about $16,000 left to pay for that.

“In addition, last month we had a flooding accident which resulted in the need to replace a pump, and that cost $10,000 to replace,” Cymbalisty said.

Cymbalisty was eager to show off the controls of the new automated watering system. He explained how one can sit at the computer and with a few keystrokes

can turn on or off any one or more of the more than 100 individual sprinklers that are located on the course. The water is raw and un-treated, which is pumped directly from the adjacent Assiniboine River.

The sys tem rep laces the former system which had required workers to go from spigot to spigot turn-ing them on or off, he ex-plained.

Once the new watering system and the new pump are paid, club members would like to improve an-other green, he said, add-ing that plans are to make improvements to hole No. 4.

“I want to stress that the club is not in any financial distress,” Cymbalisty said. “We’re having a good sea-son, but we just want to be out of debt and be able to make improvements.

“We’ve seen this course come a long way, from be-ing something resembling a pasture, to the current situ-ation where it is now one of the nicer nine-hole courses in the province,” he said.

“We’re one of only two courses in the province that has an island green,” Bin-kley said. “We have one of the longest holes at 666 yards, which is hole No. 3, a par 5.”

Riverside Golf Course is a great course to play, he said. As a non-profit orga-nization, the club operates on a break-even basis, being able to pay its expenses.

“At one time we had the Celebrity Golf Tournaments which raised the extra funds for improvements, but since we’re not doing that any-more, we still have to raise

funds,” Cymbalisty added.Embarking on this cur-

rent fundraising project, Cymbal i s ty sa id tha t a “thermometer” to follow the fundraising progress will be set up in the clubhouse.

“We’ve already got com-mitments for about $7,000 and we’re going to be ask-ing for additional dona-tions,” Binkley said. “We’ll be contacting former resi-dents requesting donations and, as a non-profit orga-nization, the club will be issuing receipts for the do-nations.

“This is a community

golf course and we’re ask-ing for community involve-ment,” he said, adding thatthe senior golfers haveagreed to hold a fundraiser.Cymbalisty will be hold-ing a steak supper to raisemoney and other eventsare being planned for theautumn.

The club has a member-ship of 125.

Persons wishing to make donations to the coursemay do so at the clubhouse,which is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week,or may contact Karen Ber-ezowski, the club secretary.

Sulphate can be found in almost all natural water and is probably the most common contaminant of water sources for livestock in Saskatchewan. High levels of sulphate in drinking water has considerable impact on both health and performance of animals.

Water sources containing excess levels of sulphate are not very palatable, and, when given a choice, ani-mals will discriminate against them. Some animals may refuse to drink high sulphate water, which may lead to dehydration. However, in desperate situations (e.g. drought, hot weather, and prolonged water deprivation) some animals will consume water even with extremely high levels of sulphate, resulting in toxicity.

The most dramatic outcome of exposure to high sulphate water in cattle is the development of necrotic lesions in the brain, a condition commonly described as Polioencephalomalacia (PEM). The pathogenesis of sulphate toxicity shows that ruminants have some unique features of sulphur metabolism resulting in le-sions of the brain. High concentration of sulphides in the rumen fl uid has been observed in animals that de-veloped PEM.

Given the profound metabolic effects of excessive sulphur intake on metabolism or availability of essential nutrients, high levels of dietary sulphate adversely affect basic physiological processes and infl uence growth and performance. Cattle exposed to excess dietary sulphur perform poorly and production losses can be substantial as shown in a study on steers where the average daily gain declined from 1.39 to 1.01 lb/day as the sulphates in drinking water increased from 400 to 3,100 ppm.

The problems resulting from sulphate interaction with essential nutrients, such as copper, may indirectly affect performance parameters known to be attributed to copper defi ciency, such as reduced growth rate, weight loss, reduced fertility and delayed puberty, low concep-tion and ovulation rates in cows, as well as reduced semen quality in bulls. Retained placenta may also be a sign of secondary copper deficiency. Lower body weights of cows and calves and increased mortality of calves during the postnatal period was observed when animals were drinking water containing 1,500 ppm of sulphate.

Calves born from copper defi cient cows, and young

Effect of water sulphate on beef cattle

calves exposed to excess sulphur, may display a lack of co-ordination and inability to suckle. Reduced immune response can also be associated with sulphate and/or molybdenum induced copper defi ciency.

In ruminants high, or moderately high levels of sul-phates in drinking water are detrimental to health, and relatively low to moderate levels affect performance of animals. In order to assess the potential hazard, the total intake of dietary sulphur must be taken into consider-ation. Sulphate in the water, even at moderate levels, may increase the total dietary sulphur to a toxic level.

Sulphate levels in dugouts can increase throughout the pasture season as evaporation lowers water levels and concentrates minerals. It is important to monitor cattle using dugouts with elevated sulphate levels. Test-ing dugouts in dry years is an important routine to en-sure the safety and well-being of your livestock.

For more information on water testing or sulphates in drinking water contact your Regional Livestock Spe-cialist or the Ag Knowledge Centre.

n i t e l y n o r e m n a n t s o f that…right?

“By the time your high school teachers met you, all the teaching and guidance from your past had started to mould the young adults that you are today. As you entered high school, the maturity and understanding of hard work, deadlines, confidence, and humour have all been developed and have created memories for your teachers not just yourselves.

“Each teacher you have encountered f rom Kin-dergarten to Grade 12 has given you a tool, a story, a hint, a method to make your adult life easier.

“Change is a big thing to take on and accept. It is not easy to change and leave

the routines of your school days where a timetable is handed to you in Septem-ber. Today is the end of the 9 to 3:30 schedule. It is up to you to set your own timetables; and yes you are ready even if you don’t think you are. You may not remember the exact details of each of the lessons that each teacher has taught you but many of the lessons are a part of you: show up on time, work to your full potential, have a sense of humour, care about others and be knowledgeable of the world around you.

“As you enter the work force or post-secondary you will continue to learn and embrace each lesson,” Parnetta said. “All your past teachers and I will be keeping an eye on you.

“Never be afraid of the

future; embrace change, come visit us at school, and yes, we will be watching to see how wonderful your lives become.”

Tributeto parents

Reuben Bugera pa id tribute to the parents.

“Somehow, for some unknown reason, despite the many fights, the tre-mendous amount of grief and trouble we have put you through, and despite

all the grey hair we have given you, you still love and care for us, like no oth-ers in the world,” Bugera said. “This is truly amaz-ing, and we can never thank you enough for all the love and support you’ve given us over the years.

“You have been our role models, life coaches, and heroes,” he said. “You’ve taught us everything from right and wrong to left and right. You’ve been there from the start of our lives, watched us grow up, and a r e n o w g u i d i n g u s t o take the last steps to fin-ish a great section of our lives. And I am here to say: Thank you.

“Thank you for every-thing from the lunches you made, to the wake up calls in the mornings. Thank you for the life advice and life lessons. Thank you for the home you gave us to grow up in, and thank you, most importantly, for the uncon-ditional love you have giv-en us that has made us into who we are today.

“And I mean truly un-conditional.

“My father passed away fi ve years ago. Although he can’t be here to watch me graduate, I know that he would be extremely proud of who I have become and who I have yet to be. He taught me patience, accep-tance, and taught me to al-ways count my blessings.

“Even though he isn’t here with us, he is still a huge influence in my life, and I know that he will be for the rest of my life. I am thankful for every day I had to spend with him, and I am thankful for every day I still get to spend with my mother. She has been the rock that has kept our family together, and I know that whenever I need sup-port, advice and guidance, she is never too far away.

“And that is a testament to a parent’s love: even when you’re not with us, you’re still with us. The love you have given us over the years runs so deep, that it will never break, and never diminish, no matter what.

“Thank you again, par-ents, for all of the support, encouragement, wisdom, and love tha t you have

given us over the years,” Bugera said.

His mother, Deb Mand-zuk replied.

Valedictoryaddress

“I would like to begin by saying thank you to sev-eral people who have made the journey thus far through life the incredible adven-ture that it has been,” Jae-lyn Dietz said in her vale-dictory address.

“Firstly, to our teachers who have amazingly put up with us and kept us in line all the way from pre-school to graduation day; secondly, to our parents, guardians, and loved ones, a group of fi rst rate people that have dealt with our adolescent mischief and shenanigans for 18 very long years, and finally, to my fellow graduates for trusting me with the honour of speaking on their behalf.

“It feels as though high school has been a jour-ney and half for us,” she said. “We began our years here at KCI as small, in-nocent 10-year-olds, fresh from Victoria School and ready for anything the ‘big schoo l ’ t eacher s cou ld throw at us. And, as we have learned during these past few weeks of multiple essays, projects and fi nals, these teachers actually can throw pretty hard.

“Though we have had our many ups and downs, I have to say that we have also had many moments where we have pulled to-gether as a class. For one thing, we knew and ac-cepted one another through grades 6 to 8, despite what we each looked like. And for those who don’t know exactly what I am referring to, those long years were the peak of frizzy hair, gan-gly limbs, and acne that you probably will not be seeing pictures of in the slide show later today.

“Next, we grew clos-er as a class in Grade 9 when we realized that if we all worked together, we could easily distract Mrs. (Joanne) Schwartz with conversations about rela-tionships, partying, and her crazy childhood.

“And let’s not forget when we all, as unsuspect-

ing and ignorant Grade 10math students, shared equal feelings of surprise and fearfrom hearing Mr. (Dave) Placatka yell ‘soh cah toa’at the top of his lungs. Andfinally, that one day wealmost died in Chemistry 20, when a beaker with thewrong concentrations ofchemicals exploded, show-ering us with glass andstarting the ceiling on fi re.

“This chapter of our lives together is coming toa close. We are now begin-ning a new journey thatwill take us each in differ-ent directions. Whether thatdirection is university or anew job, the responsibility for your success in life nowrests on you.

“As you move on from here, just remember that ‘Ifyou really want to do some-thing, you will find a way.If you don’t, you’ll fi nd anexcuse.’

“High school and our time together have come toan end. I hope that in thefuture, you never forget who you are or where yourroots are,” Dietz said. “Ihope you live your life instyle and become anything you desire to be.

“I wish you all the best in life and I would like toleave you with one finalpiece of advice: ‘Don’t doanything stupid. But, if andwhen you do something stupid, don’t post pictures about it on Facebook.’”

Hannah Werrell intro-duced Wendy Shabatoski asthe guest speaker.

Following the program, the graduates were asked to return to the KCI for aformal dress photo. Dinner was served at the OCC Hallat 6 p.m., and the grandmarch and PowerPoint pre-sentation were held at theKCI gymnasium beginningat 8 p.m.

ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions. A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field – operating in the same environment it’s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist. Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canada’s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, it’s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as “ride and drives” and smaller equipment demos.

“Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,” says Show Director Rob O’Connor. “There’s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.”

What does an outdoor show look like?The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, the country’s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows what’s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business – make decisions – and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca.

Live Demos and Interactive ExhibitsThe number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field

Drivers o f 20 t rucks and 11 all-terrain vehicles sloshed through the mud at the highest speeds they could muster, eager to win some of the $2,200 in prize money that was offered at the Canada Day mud boggin’ competition in Kamsack.

The “three-lane” course at the sports ground attract-ed hundreds of spectators, which was said to have been one of the largest crowds to have witnessed such a com-petition in Kamsack.

“Everything was double from last year,” said Dustin Stenhouse, who with Brad Gouge are the core of the Kamsack Mud Slingers, the group of volunteers who get to work once a year to hold the competition.

“We had twice as many entries and twice as many spectators as last year,” Sten-house said. The competition began at about 1 p.m. and continued throughout the afternoon.

“We had about 10 vol-

unteers working during the competition and many more who helped prepare for it,” Stenhouse said, adding that the many sponsors had con-tributed towards the prize money and trophies.

“We plan to grow this competition for next year,” he said.

In each of the fi ve catego-ries of competition, contes-tants were able to make four passes of the course and the times of their top three pass-es were used to determine

their fi nal standings.In the 749 cc and under

class, Tristen Chernoff of Runnymede placed fi rst; Ja-son McLean of Kamsack was second, and Jeff Airriess of Togo was third. The fast-est pass was by Chernoff with a time of 8.85 seconds.

In the 750 cc and up class, first place went to Wilfred Whitehawk of Cote First Na-tion; second, Chris Kulak of Kamsack, and Third, Clay-ton Whitehawk of Cote. The fastest pass of 5.50 seconds

In the stock class, Dan-iel Shick of Churchbridge p laced f i r s t ; Makenz ie Chernoff of Kamsack, sec-ond, and John Berezowski of Kamsack, third. Shick had the fastest time of 7.32 seconds.

In the mod class, Jon Ho-lovach of Langenburg placed first; Darren Whitehawk of Kamsack, second, and Wayne Weber of Hamiota, Man., third. Holovach had the fastest time of 5.06 sec-onds.

In the open class, Wayne Weber of Hamiota placed first; Jon Holovach of Lan-genburg, second, and Cur-tis Shiels of Melville, third. Shiels had the fastest pass of 4.94 seconds.

In the Dash for Cash com-petition which had volun-teers in a footrace through the course, Sami Chernoff of Runnymede won the cash.

In the Burn-Out King competition, the vehicle en-tered by Ken Philipchuk of Kamsack stayed operational longer than the other five vehicles.

In the “How Long Till the Car Blows?” guessing game, Dallas Rezansoff of Kamsack guessed correctly. It took 35 seconds before the Dodge, donated by Kevlen Towing of Kamsack, quit.

The mud rose high in the air as this ATV operatorsped through the course.

Big wheels helped this vehicle get through thecourse.

Safe away from the action, the berm along thesouthern edge of the mud boggin’ course wasfi lled with hundreds of spectators, including tail-gaters and lawn chair occupants.

Between the two legitimate muddy courses, wasa pit of water which was too enticing for someentrants to ignore. As a truck got stuck during afailed demonstration, the operator of an ATV spedright past.

Among youngsters who enjoyed waving the flag at the Kamsack sports ground on Canada Day was Keeva Ferrill of Kamsack.

Large crowds wave the fl ag for Canada Day in KamsackContinued from Front Page

The day’s activities be-gan at 8:30 a.m. with par-ents of the Sadok Ukrainian Dancers serving a pancake breakfast. At 9 a.m., the six-team slo-pitch tournament, organized by members of the Kamsack Royals slo-pitch team, began and the Kamsack Swimming Pool allowed swimmers into the pool free of charge.

Supporters of the Royals looked after the refreshment stand.

“We had over 50 people in the pool that morning,” Kev Sumner, an organizer of the day’s activities, said.

At 11 a.m., the concession, operated by the Kamsack air cadets, parents and supporters began selling hot dogs, ham-burgers and soft drinks.

The concession stand did very good, Karen Bodnaryk, squadron commanding of-ficer, said, adding that the concession was so success-ful that three times during

the day, they had run out of supplies.

“I think we ended up buying all the hamburger buns in town,” Bodnaryk said. “It was crazy.”

Bodnaryk extended a big thanks to all of the custom-ers and cadets’ supporters.

At noon Trevor Kerr of Stockholm turned on his sound system to play music at the beer garden area and he had two gigantic inflat-able toys ready for energetic children to bounce, crawl and roll upon.

At 1 p.m., when mem-bers of town council raised the Canadian fl ag, members of the Kamsack Community Choir sang O Canada and several numbers from their Colour My World concert held last month. Among the selections was a reprise of the popular Purple Peo-ple Eater, complete with a return visit of the Purple People Eater.

The group of students who make up the Kamsack Com-prehensive Institute’s 2015 graduating class is all about ser-vitude to others, said Wendy Shabatoski, the guest speaker at the graduation program.

“Wendy Shabatoski is an amazing, compassionate, and caring woman who has personally touched the lives of each of the graduates here today,” Hannah Werrell said in her introduction to the guest speaker.

“She was born and raised on a farm south of Buchanan, and graduated from Canora Composite High School in 1992. Later on in her life, Mrs. Shab moved to Regina to work as a researcher for the provincial government. In 2008 she married Trevor Shabatoski and began a grain farm op-eration on his family farm. A year later her daughter Grace was born.

“Mrs. Shabatoski spent many of her years in university studying for a higher education. She earned a bachelor of arts in history degree, a bachelor of education degree, and she also worked towards a master of educational adminis-tration degree (and graduated) in 2010. In the fall of 2011 her son Nathaniel was born. The reason she named her son Nathaniel was because she watched many seasons of Gos-sip Girl throughout her pregnancy and could not decide on a name.

“As a grad class, we chose Wendy Shabatoski to be our guest speaker because fi rst of all, she is an amazing woman, she shows fantastic leadership to all her students, also she took her personal time to get to know her students even though she had work and young children.

“Wendy truly cares about her students, like we truly care about her. She always came into her classroom with a smile on her face when some of the times we were misbehaved and acted immature she probably secretly wanted to ring our necks.

“The way she teaches you can tell she really enjoys her job.

“Mrs. Shab engages her students with her lessons and makes her students want to learn by providing a nurturing environment where ever she goes. As some people would say she is ‘hella dope.’

“Grad 2015 also believes she ensures that we actually un-derstand what is being taught and we all feel that we can go to Mrs. Shabatoski with any problems that we have person-ally, or academically. We can ask her questions even if they are stupid ones and she treats us kindly. And many grads loved her assignments we did in senior history.

“Thank you from all for helping us as a grad class achieve our dreams, and by providing us with knowledge that we will use for the rest of our lives,” Werrell said. “As the grad 2015 class, we appreciate everything you have done to help set up for grad. We love you.”

“I am so touched and honoured to be your guest speaker,” Shabatoski said. “We’ve been together for a long time through a wide variety of classes. I was lucky enough to see you grow up and often be part of the silly and humorous moments.

“We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon,” she said quoting the graduates’ theme.

“I love that quote. It is so inclusive for your entire grade. It recognizes that you have the same sky because you just happen to be in the same class at KCI but it shows that you are all so different.

Guest speaker says KCI graduating class is comprised of students who wish to serve

W e n d y S h a b a t o s k i was the guest speaker at the KCI graduation program on June 29.

H a n n a h W e r r e l l introduced the guest speaker.

“And as of tomorrow, you will each begin moving off to different horizons.

“Grade 12 groups tend to be remembered in some sort of generalized term: their close bond, being athletic, immature, or even (as) whiners. But your group is like no other. Each one of you has managed to realize the importance of fi nding balance in your life. You know to work on yourself, physi-cally, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and then you will become strong. But what is also remarkable about your group is that as you become stronger, you use that strength to impact others.

“I don’t think you realize it but you are the group that is about servitude to others. You are selfl ess individuals. You lend a hand and make life easier for others. You are calm, determined, focused and it is second nature to focus on oth-ers. This is a remarkable quality that often takes years to build.

“The future professions you hope to go into are not about making money. They are about making the world a better place. Never have I seen a group that has had so much de-termination to go into public service: nurses, psychologists, councillors, teachers, and the military, etc. And those of you who are not going into professions in the public service you have the characteristic.

“Each one of you gravitates to a certain realm or area to achieve balance in your life. Through that balance you gain strength as an individual and through your strong sense of self, you work to positively impact others.”

Shabatoski then spoke to each one of the graduates, high-lighting each one’s personality or relationship to her.

“Through lots of our classes we’ve studied human be-haviour and I really think that your positive attributes have rubbed off on each other and caused this snowball effect. You are amazing already at your young age and there is no doubt it will continue.

“Today is it. As I said in Life Transitions: it’s been a good run. I told you at the end of History 30 that you have had a tremendous impact on me as a teacher. You have allowed me to try new projects, to set the bar high and each time you were able to meet the challenge.

“What is unique about your group is that you waste very little of your time complaining. You work hard at fi guring out what needs to be done and how to use your natural tal-ents to achieve success.

“This past awards night, you also showed your spirit by staying to clean up. You were busy visiting with each other, stacking chairs, picking up garbage. No one asked you to, but you recognized that a job needed to be done and you did it with smiles on your faces. Your parents should be so proud of each of you and your group.

“The world is a better place because of your grade. There is no doubt in my mind that as you progress through life

your awareness of the needs of others will be there.“Anne Frank said ‘No one has ever become poor by giv-

ing.’ You will continue to give.“Just remember, your parents and caregivers have done

an amazing job raising you. You have a strong sense of self and you have positively impacted each other, your school, our community and even our world so far in your 18 years.That will be your legacy and it will continue to be. We areall so proud of you.”

Shabatoski ended with “a few lasting tips to remember:”“Surround yourself with positive people who will help

you grow. Don’t waste your time watering the rocks. Therocks will work hard to pull you down, don’t allow that.

“Don’t become overwhelmed if you feel like you don’t know what to do in life. That’s normal. Just get out there,get a job, meet people, try new things, travel and life will unfold the way it’s supposed to. If you fi nd yourself in your mom’s basement playing video games for more than two days, get out immediately! That’s like some weird vortex that’s hard to get out of.

“When you have bumps in the road, look to your four realms: social, emotional, physical and mental to fi nd bal-ance. Don’t look to drown your sorrows or try to cover them up with something else. You are stronger than letting some-thing else control you.

“Keep in touch. Our relationship will be different now.But I will continue to watch your lives. I will continue to be proud of you and if you seem to be going through a periodof transition or uncertainty, I will be your biggest cheerlead-er. I know what you are all made of and I know that you allhave the strength to be amazing adults in our crazy world.

“Have a nice, fun, safe night and life,” Shabatoski said. “Talk to each other tonight. Spend time laughing, cryingand sharing. You are ready Class of 2015. We all believe in you.”

running on your treadmill; it is hard to deny that the treadmill is a practical so-lution if the weather is in-clement, you only have a short time to run or if you are not close to the place that you like to run. So your treadmill is a good alterna-tive.

However, you may be mak ing some mis takes while you are running on it.

Hanging onto the han-dles: By doing this you may be causing your body to slouch which can restrict blood flow. Hanging onto the front or console will also cause problems as you will find that your shoulders, wrists and elbows will begin to jerk as you go quicker or increase the incline.

Solution: Start slow on the treadmill and increase the speed while you are on it. Swinging your arms by your side will give your body a full workout and burn more calories. When you are done, slowly de-

Mistakes you may be making on your treadmill

The saga of David is one of the great stories in biblical literature. Young David did what Saul’s entire army did not. He killed the monstrous enemy champion, Goliath of Gath. He did not rely on the fi nest armour and weapons, but killed the giant with a stone from a slingshot. The Philistine looked powerful, but proved to be weak. David the shepherd boy looked weak, but proved to be powerful. And scripture all but shouts at us that God is at work in the powerful weakness of young David.

David gained power of a more conventional kind. His record as king turns out to be decidedly mixed. Some-times he discerned and did what is right; at other times he

Sometimes our weakness has been revealed as strength

abused his power and committed heinous crimes. Perhaps the worst episode involves committing adultery with Bathsheba and then setting up the murder of Uriah, one of his loyal soldiers. David grew as king according to 2 Samuel 5:10 “And David became greater and greater, for the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.” It was because Yahweh, the God of the heavenly armies, was with him. If God was with David, as the reading from 2 Samuel claims, then at times God must have been present with him in judgment.

I am not advocating adultery or murder in today’s society

for any leader or any one of us but rather showing that Godis with each and every one of us no matter what we havedone right or wrong.

The short sentence “I am with you” is at the heart of thegood news in the Bible. Why is “I am with you” so impor-tant? It means that David and all of us later royal and priestlychildren of God are never alone. However sinful and howeverlacking in confidence we might be, God is not ashamed tohang around with David, Bathsheba, or us. There is an im-plicit word of forgiveness in this simple sentence.

Finally, “I am with you” is a word of empowerment.Whether it is the ability to trust, to carry out our day to day vocations, or to face all the challenges of life -- includingour mortality -- God’s “I am with you” means that we havethe promise of strength and encouragement to do what wehave to do. Sometimes our weakness has been revealed asstrength. And sometimes our strength has been revealed as weakness.

MLA visits Pelly schoolKen Krawetz, the Member of the Saskatchewan Legislature for the Canora-Pelly Constituency, former provincial fi nance minister and deputy premier, visited the Fort Livingstone School in Pelly on June 12. Krawetz had been invited by Helen Rumancik, the grades 7/8 social studies teacher, to give a presentation to grades 7 to 12 students regarding the basic structure of the Canadian political system, from the local constituency to the federal levels of government in Ottawa. The presentation encouraged all students to become actively involved in school and community affairs and to make good choices for careers and jobs that are available in the province of Saskatchewan

Pelly students visit Legislative BuildingsOn Friday, June 19th, as part of their final yearend trip, the grades 7/8 students from Fort Livingstone School in Pelly were treated to a private tour of the Saskatchewan Legislative Buildings in Regina. They also toured the Regina Saskatchewan Museum, the RCMP Heritage Centre and Government House. Included on the trip, from left, were: (back row) Noah Hartford, (educational assistant), Trudy Tuttle, Nick Godfrey, Chelsea Konawalchuk, Helen Rumancik (teacher) and Ian Abbot (bus driver); (middle) Erik Raabel, Easton Raabel and Peter Fedorchuk, and (front) Zoe Thiessen, Tamera Auchstaetter, Bobbi Abrahamson, Hunter Shankowsky, Colton Yaremko and Gabe Lerat Severight.

crease the speed by touch-ing the pad.

Sticking with the same routine: Many times we hop on, do our favourite pro-gram and we are done. Your body is inherently lazy, therefore we need to change up often, or every time.

Here are some options:Increase the incline. You

will see a change in your heart rate very quickly;

Do sprint intervals. The treadmill is an excellent piece of equipment for in-terval training. Complete one minute at a slow speed, and then one minute at a higher speed;

Use the treadmill for oth-er exercises. While it is not running, use the handles for pull-ups or push-ups. Use the sides for calf raises and dips. Get creative.

Walk on the back half

of the treadmill. You are in the gym and the TV is directly in front of you so you need to walk further back on the machine so you can watch or your head is hyper-extended to watch. Also, the chance of fall-ing off increases when you are on the back half of the machine.

Focusing on the TV can be dangerous. A good alter-native is to get a holder for your Ipad or phone and put it on the console of your treadmill. Better yet, listen to music. It sets your pace and lets you concentrate on what you are doing rather then being a distraction that could cause an accident.

Good Luck and now that summer is here, I hope that we do not have to use our treadmills for too many days.


KUZYK - It is with great sad-ness that we announce the loss of Alice Thelma Kuzyk who died peacefully in her sleep on June 23, 2015 in Calgary Alberta at 95 years of age. Alice was born Septem-ber 20, 1919 to Alexander and Pauline (Moroz) Wilgosh. They resided on a farm south of Stenen where Alice was raised with her siblings - four brothers: Laddie, Dan, Mike and Willie and sisters, Ann and Nellie. Alice attended Moss Lake School. She left home at twenty two years of

age to search for work in Windsor, Ontario. She gained employ-ment with an affluent family as a maid and governess. Windsor is also where she met her first husband, Mike Novakowski, who was from Rama, Saskatchewan. They came home for their wedding and were married in 1945. They resided in Stenen for a short while and then moved to Norquay. Alice decided to take a hairdressing course in Winnipeg so the couple relocated there for a year. They then returned to Norquay where Alice started hairdressing in the Norquay Hotel while Mike continued trucking. They soon built a home in Norquay on Main Street where Alice set up her shop. They were blessed with two daughters, Donal-da and Debra. Mike opened a Cockshutt Farm Equipment Deal-ership next door to their home. Tragically Mike was killed in a car accident in 1965. Alice continued to hairdress and raise her daughters. In 1970 she was remarried to John Kuzyk and they moved to his farm south of Norquay. They happily shared their lives together until John’s passing in 1990. Alice continued to live on her own in Norquay until January 2014 when she had a short stay at the Kamsack Lodge and then moved to Calgary in February to be close to her daughters. She resided at Beaver-dam Lodge for a year and was then moved to Southwood Care Centre where she continued to reside until her passing. Alice was a loving and compassionate woman who loved family, com-munity and church. She enjoyed entertaining and socializing. She especially liked playing cards, gardening, baking and cook-ing. Her greatest joy was seeing your plate empty at the dinner table. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Alice has left behind her loving daughters: Donalda Cooper and Debra and (Clive) Kitto; her six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren: Tyler (Lori) Cooper and great-grandson Benja-min, Ryan (Christina) Cooper and great-grandsons, Jack and Levi, Jared Cooper, Jenelle Kitto (Jeremy Dow) and great-grandson, Kashus Kitto-Dow, Jauvonne Kitto (Nick Zuniga) and great-grandchildren, Thalia and Lucius Zuniga, and Jonathan (Magda) Kitto and great-granddaughter, Olive Kitto. She is also survived by her brother, Willie, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Vigil of Prayer was held on Thursday, July 2, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. Funeral Liturgy was celebrated on Friday, July 3, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. both from Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church, Norquay, SK with Rev. Fr. Ivan Derkach, as Celebrant. Rite of Committal followed in the Canora Cemetery. Those wish-ing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to a Charity of Donor’s Choice, in memory of Alice Kuzyk. Family and friends unable to attend are invited to sign an on-line guest book for Alice at www.lesonsfuneralhome.ca. Arrangements were entrusted to LESON’S FUNERAL HOME, Canora.

NAHNYBIDA: Lena Nahnybi-da of Benito, Manitoba and formerly of Arran, Saskatche-wan passed away at the age of 86 years on June 27, 2015 at the Swan River Health Centre. A funeral service for Lena Nahnybida was held on Friday, July 3, 2015 from the All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Kamsack, Sas-katchewan. Interment fol-lowed at the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery south of Arran, Saskatche-wan. Lena (nee Berezowski) Nahnybida was born to Alex-

ander & Katherine Berezowski on March 21, 1929 in Arran, SK. She grew up and attended school in Arran. On July 17, 1948 at the tender age of 19, she married the love of her life, Jim Nahny-bida. They made their home on the farm north of Arran and later moved into town. Jim farmed and delivered mail and Lena took on the role of homemaker. Together they raised seven children: Elaine, Donald, Theresa, Terrence, William, Richard and James. Lena is survived by her seven children: Elaine (Don) Bazansky of Saskatoon, SK; Don (Zoria) Nahnybida of Greenwood, BC; Theresa (Henry) Panagabko of Regina, SK; Terry (Sandy) Nah-nybida of Kenville, MB; Bill (Lorna) Nahnybida of Swan River, MB; Rick Nahnybida (Michelle McKenzie) of Arran, SK; and Jim (Maria) Nahnybida of Kamsack, SK; 19 grandchildren: Gina (Tim) Parker, Angie (Erin) Dodd, Shawna (Michael) Kozun, Mi-chelle Bazansky (Jason LeDrew), Lisa (Rob) Hewitt, Audree (Tyler) Cornet, Blair (Lorette) Panagabko, Zane Nahnybida (Brandi Hinton), Ashley Nahnybida (Jayme Eggie), Krista Nah-nybida (Adrian Malley), Amanda (Jason) Jacobson, Steven Nah-nybida (Kirstin Fair), Ali Nahnybida (Andre Trudel), Jessalyn Nahnybida, Shayla & Taylor Romanyshyn, Zach Nahnybida (Jenna Bowes), Mitch Nahnybida, Mark Nahnybida (Sophia Thomas); 19 great-grandchildren: Mitch Dixon, Tyler Dodd, Mi-randa Dodd, Jacob Dodd, Brianna Dodd, Kassie Dodd, Dallas Dodd, Tanner Kozun, Samantha Kozun, Tessa Kozun, Kaden Bazansky, Abby Hewitt, Emma Cornet, Sam Cornet, Ben Cor-net, Cayden Nahnybida, Ataya Nahnybida, Shea Eggie & Emily Jacobson; her sister Victoria (John) Husak of Surrey, BC; and her brother John Berezowski of Squamish, BC. Lena was prede-ceased by her parents, Alexander & Katherine Berezowski; her husband, Jim Nahnybida; her sisters Mary Chorneyko, Anne Ba-tryn, Doris Woytkiw and Millie Kalanchy; her brothers Steve Berezowski, Michael Berezowski and Bill Berezowski. Lena en-joyed many pastimes including gardening and cooking. Her yard was adorned with flower pots and perennials and her garden overflowing with vegetables of all kinds. She took pride in pre-paring Ukrainian meals for her family and sharing the love of these traditions with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Whether she was slicing beets to make borscht, pinching dough to make perogies or stuffing jars with cucumbers to make pickles, you would always catch her with her Ukrainian apron on in the kitchen and a smile on her face. She was devot-ed to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and enjoyed helping her fellow ladies prepare the dishes for church functions. She en-joyed watching curling, whether it was on TV or at the Arran Curling Rink. Her greatest passion however, was her family. She took great pride in the accomplishments and prosperity of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each one holds a very special place in her heart. She truly was the matriarch of the family, strong and resolute in body, mind, soul and spirit. She will be sadly missed by her family, friends and the community she so dearly loved. If friend’s so desire donations in Lena’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.Arrangements were entrusted to E. Andrychuk Funeral Home

When we’re in a hurry, signs like “Construction Zone Ahead” and “Workers Present” may seem like an inconvenience. However, as warmer summer months kick off the construction sea-son in Saskatchewan, drivers are urged to consider the true costs associated with speed-ing in work zones.

A record $842 million highways budget coupled with a short construction season means an abundance of work will take place on Saskatchewan roads and highways this summer. Con-

Police watching for aggressive drivers inwork zones this July

struction crews dedicated to improving our roads are depending on motorists to drive responsibly and keep them safe in work zones.

For that reason, Saskatch-ewan Government Insurance (SGI), Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and pro-vincial law enforcement are partnering to make work zones the focus of July’s traffic safety spotlight. Po-lice will be paying particular attention to drivers speeding and demonstrating other ag-gressive driving behaviours, such as stunting, racing or

passing to the right on ahighway.

“Crews bui ld ing and repairing highways oftenwork near moving vehicles,so we need to ensure everyprecaution is taken so theycan work safely,” Highwaysand Infrastructure MinisterNancy Heppner said. “Ourministry has implemented anumber of safety measuresto protect them but ulti-mately it is up to the driversto follow the rules and payclose attention.”

Base fines for speeding in highway work zones aretriple that of a regular speed-ing ticket when workers arepresent. They start at $210and increase for each ad-ditional kilometre over theposted speed limit. New lawsenacted last summer mandatethat drivers face additionalpenalties when they’re travel-ling at 35 km/hr or more overthe posted speed limit.

“While the fi nancial costs are signifi cant, the real costsare impacts on human life,”Minister responsible for SGIDon McMorris said. “Ag-gressive driving in workzones not only puts motoristsand their vehicles at risk, italso needlessly endangersthe lives of workers and oth-er road users.”

Preliminary numbers for 2014 show there were 201collisions in work zones inSaskatchewan, resulting in48 injuries. In addition, 774people were convicted forspeeding in work zones. SGIand the Ministry of High-ways and Infrastructure re-mind motorists to exerciseboth patience and cautionin work zones, and followthese tips:

• Slow to 60 km/hr when passing highway workers,fl ag people or equipment oc-cupied by a worker, withinsigned work zones, or whenpassing equipment with am-ber warning lights on.

• Avoid distractions and be on alert for workers andother road hazards.

• Be proactive by becom-ing aware of potential workon your route beforehandand allow extra travel time toget to your destination.

• Remember that traffic rules and speed limits applyto both highway and munici-pal work zones, even whenworkers are not present.

• Some cities have by-laws requiring drivers toobey work zone speed limitsthrough the entire construc-tion area, so be familiar withthe bylaws in your area.

Work zone safety intro-duced in recent years in theprovince includes legal blackand white regulatory speedlimits, photo speed enforce-ment and increased signage.

The Government of Saskatchewan has announced $239,000 in funding will be given to the Saskatchewan Literacy Net-work (SLN) to support the Saskatchewan Community Literacy Fund as well as adult and family literacy programs throughout the province. This funding includes $64,000 to increase capacity for supports in First Na-tions and Métis communities and to develop culturally-relevant materials.

“Our government is committed to ensur-ing that Saskatchewan residents have the

skills and knowledge they need to take ad-vantage of all the opportunities available to them in our province,” Education Minister Don Morgan said. “This requires investing in organizations like the Saskatchewan Lit-eracy Network who do great work improv-ing literacy rates so that everyone can get an education, gain skills and build a life.”

The SLN provides literacy leadership in the province and receives funding from the Government of Saskatchewan for literacy programming, including adult, community

and family literacy programs. This invest-ment will allow for the SLN to promote and support 10 family literacy hubs and Saskatch-ewan Community Literacy Fund recipients.

“We are committed to supporting literacy and learning for life with youth, families and communities throughout Saskatch-ewan,” Saskatchewan Literacy Network Executive Director Karen Rosser said. “We look forward to building on the work we do with First Nations and Métis communities in the province.”

This investment supports the Saskatch-ewan Plan for Growth’s goals to reducethe difference in graduation rates betweenAboriginal and non-Aboriginal students andto lead the country in Grade 12 graduationrates by 2020. It also supports the goals ofthe Education Sector Strategic Plan to im-prove reading outcomes for Grades 1-3.

In 2015-16, the Government of Saskatch-ewan will provide $2.45 million to supportadult, family and community literacy pro-gramming in Saskatchewan.

Last week Federal Agri-culture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan Agricul-ture Minister Lyle Stew-art announced additional measures and adjustments to programming to help address the dry conditions across the province.

“The hallmark of our government is delivering programming that is fl exible and able to meet the needs of producers,” Ritz said. “This extension gives pro-ducers an additional tool to

Flexibility and options for producers dealing with dry conditionsmake the decisions that best suit their individual opera-tions.”

“The lack of moisture through the spring and so far this growing season has se-verely reduced the hay and forage crops in many parts of the province,” Stewart said. “By being flexible with existing programs, we are hoping to help producers source the feed they need for their livestock.”

Through the Saskatch-ewan Crop Insurance Pro-

gram, the deadline for seed-ing crops for greenfeed has been extended from June 30 to July 15. Producers who have Crop Insurance will now be able to seed and insure any cereal greenfeed crop.

If a Crop Insurance cus-tomer wants to use his an-nual crop acres for livestock grazing or for feed they can contact their local Crop In-surance offi ce.

Crop Insu rance cus -tomers also have coverage

should their annual crops suffer from the dry condi-tions. The producer can register a pre-harvest claim if they do not want to carry the crop through to harvest. If producers take their crop to harvest, but it has a re-duced yield, they can file a post-harvest claim. Produc-ers concerned about the dry conditions should contact their local Crop Insurance offi ce to review the options available for claims, com-pensation and the require-

ments for the options they choose.

The AgriStability Pro-gram also provides an op-tion for producers looking to access a portion of their benefit early. Through the interim benefit, producers enrolled in AgriStability can get 50 per cent of their esti-mated fi nal benefi t.

The Ministry of Agri-culture continues to exam-ine options for producers dealing with the dry condi-tions. While the Saskatch-

ewan Pastures Program isat capacity, the Ministryhas requested that other or-ganizations consider open-ing any conservation landsfor grazing or salvagingof forage. In addition, theMinistry will now allowsub-leasing of Crown leaseland. Crown land lesseeswith excess grazing or hayresources may now receivepermission by contactingtheir local Agriculture Re-gional Offi ce.

Producers are also en-couraged to access the feedgrain and forage listing ser-vice as a way to connectbuyers and sellers of feedgrains, forages and otheragricultural-related servicesthrough a free listing servicewww.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/feedforagelisting.

The Government of Sas-katchewan’s annual workzone safety advertising cam-paign is underway. Radio,print and billboard advertise-ments will increase aware-ness and promote safe driv-ing behaviour in work zonesthis summer and fall.

“The message is simply slow to 60 km/hr in workzones,” Highways and In-frastructure Minister NancyHeppner said. “I can’t em-phasize it enough. Safetymeasures are put in placein our work zones for thesafety of our crews and thedrivers.”

It’s black and white. Signs indicating the speed limit inwork zones are not a sugges-tion. They are the law andthere will be enforcement in-cluding photo speed enforce-ment that will target speed-ers. Those who don’t obeythe speed limit can expect tosee fi nes starting at $300.

“Our roads will be getting busier as summer vacation isaround the corner,” Heppnersaid. “I urge all drivers toslow down and drive safely.”

The weekly construction update provides Saskatche-wan residents with the latestdetails on projects underwayto help plan safe and effi-cient travel throughout thesummer and fall.

Additional travel informa-tion about emergency roadclosures, the status of ferries,barges and other road activi-ties can also be found on theHighway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/live/trans-portation/highway-hotline.

Drivers are reminded to slow to 60 km/hr when pass-ing highway workers andequipment and observe theposted speed limits in con-struction zones.

The Government of Sas-katchewan has invested arecord $5.2 billion in trans-portation infrastructure since2008.
