Local residents were singing from the hilltops in hopes of reaching Parliament Hill with their message.

Volunteers took to the hill to sing a spe-cial version of “Go tell it on the Mountain” for a video to be used as part of the Grand-mothers Advocacy Network’s “From our Hill to Parliament Hill” campaign in hopes of having Bill C-398 passed in the House of Commons.

“We are trying to let Parliament Hill know the importance of this legislation,” said local organizer, Pat Grayston.

Tabled in Parliament on October 16, Bill C-398 will give generic drug manufac-turers in Canada the fl exibility to supply medicines to developing countries under one licence, rather than saddling them with the complex and unworkable system currently in place and known as Canada’ Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR). More than 100 NGOs have joined GRAN in endorsing the passage of the bill, among them UNICEF Canada, the Cana-dian HIV-AIDS Legal Network and Ugan-da’s AIDS Support Organization (TASO).

Since the House of Commons unani-mously created CAMR in 2004, it has been used exactly once because red tape makes it unworkable for generic manufac-turers and developing countries alike.

“We have generic companies who are willing but they will not go through three years of red tape for each individual ship-ment and they shouldn’t be expected to,” said volunteer, Nancy Carswell.

This is the third time this piece of leg-islation has been before Parliament. The fi rst time Parliament was prorogued while the second time it was up Parliament dis-solved for the last election. Volunteers are hoping that the third time’s a charm.

If the bill does not pass, they will not let the matter drop.

“We will stay with this as long as it takes. We will badger anyone that we can badger about this,” said Grayston, noting that the medications would not be limited to treatments for HIV and AIDs but many other diseases like Polio as well.

Similar rallies took place across the country organized by members of the Grandmothers Advocacy Network.

The video will be forwarded to the Grandmothers Advocacy Network for their use to lobby government to pass the bill.

Credenda Virtual College gave employ-ees Chris MacAulay and Carswell the day off so that they could provide technical support for the recording.

From Shellbrook Hill to Parliament Hill

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced today that Ken-neth G. Danger, 60, of the R.M. of Leask, pleaded guilty this week in Prince Albert Provincial Court to charges of tax evasion for the years 2005 to 2007. He was fined $14,280.

During the years in question Danger was the administrator for the R.M. and the Town of Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. While in this position he had access to donation receipts and the account-ing systems for both entities.

The CRA investigation found that Danger issued himself false donation receipts from the R.M. and the town and he claimed these on his personal income tax returns in order to obtain fraud-ulent tax credits and reduce his taxes payable.

Over the three-year period Mr. Danger claimed $91,283 in false donations, which resulted in the evasion of federal taxes totaling $14,280.

The court heard that Danger used more than one scheme to is-sue the receipts needed to make his false claims. In one example he paid the town $7,359 for an amount owing for personal fuel

charges on farm vehicles and issued himself a donation receipt for that amount. In another example he issued himself a donation receipt for $20,000 and then voided the transaction in the town’s accounting system.

The preceding information was obtained from the court re-cords.

The fine of $14,280 represents 100% of the tax evaded. In ad-dition to the court fines, all outstanding taxes plus penalties and interest must also be paid.

Taxpayers who have not filed returns for previous years, or who have not reported all of their income, can still voluntarily correct their tax affairs. They may not be penalized or prosecuted if they make a valid disclosure before they become aware of any compli-ance action being initiated by the CRA against them.

These taxpayers may only have to pay the taxes owing, plus in-terest. More information on the Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) can be found on the CRA’s Web site at www.cra.gc.ca/vol-untarydisclosures.

Recruitment funds

Parkland Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee Chair Amund Ot-terson receives a cheque for $500 from Paul Bourgeault of Investors Group Shellbrook. The cheque matches the fi rst $500 of the $1,059 raised at the or-ganization’s garage sale fund raiser September 14 and 15. The recruitment committee is funded through donations and a per capita fee from participat-ing communities with the mandate of recruiting physicians and helping them get comfortably situated within the community.

The path to the Junior Provincial Womens Curling Championship leads through Shellbrook this year.

The Shellbrook Curling Club has been chosen to host the Junior Wom-en’s Northern Playdowns November 23-25.

According to Club President, Nathan Dzialo, the club applied to host the event and were the successful appli-cant, which he attributes to recent up-grades to the facility and the hard work of the board and other volunteers.

“Volunteers are a very important part of everything we do.

We wouldn’t be able to host an event like this without them,” said Dzia-lo, who is also the coordinator of the event, along with fellow board member Bonnie Schmirler.

The number of teams and who those teams will be won’t be determined un-til November 13 while draw times for the event will be posted sometime over the next few weeks..

Opening ceremonies kick off the fes-tivities Friday night while the class of north Saskatchewan junior female curlers will compete throughout the weekend for a spot at the provincials.

Admission is free.Dzialo hopes to see big crowds to

check out the games as he expects nothing less than top notch competi-tion throughout the weekend.

In the fall of 2011, the curling club completed an extensive renovation project of its facility. The renovation saw the upstairs viewing room con-verted into a lounge and dining area while locker rooms were added to the former lounge, which is located at ice level.

The move provided better access to the canteen, located in the skating rink lobby, while also affording spectators a great view of all four sheets of ice from the lounge area.

It also brought the locker room and ice surface to the same level which will help with keeping debris from street shoes off of the curling ice.

Provincials will be held in Weyburn January 23-27, 2013.Nationals are set to take place in Fort McMurray, AB, February 2 to 10 and the Junior Womens World Champion-ships are set for February 28 through March 10 in Sochi, Russia, the site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

Shellbrook RCMP along with members from Blaine Lake detachment and Prince Albert Regional

Traffi c Services conducted a traffi c safety check stop on Halloween evening in an ef-fort to ensure safe highways.

Police stopped vehicles on highways 3 and 55 in the Holbein, Shellbrook and Canwood districts.

Dozens of vehicles were checked for traffi c relat-ed offences and drinking and driving. A number of charges were laid under the Traffi c Safety Act including failing to wear a seatbelt, operating an unregistered motor vehicle and driving while suspended.

The Province of Sas-katchewan is increas-ing the fines for drivers caught speeding in Sas-katchewan’s construction zones. Effective November 1, Saskatchewan’s fines for speeding in the Orange Zone will be among the highest in the country.

The Ministry of High-ways and Infrastructure is working closely with con-tractors, ministry crews, and motorists to review the three Es of traffic safety: education; engineering (site enhancements such signs, lighting, rumble strips and barricades); and enforcement.

Starting this fall, rumble strips will be used in pri-oritized work zones. In ad-dition, gates that narrow the approach to construc-tion zones will be installed. Both devices are intended to slow traffic to 60 km/h in construction zones. The ministry will review the ef-fectiveness of these devices and develop guidelines for their use at other locations starting in the 2013 con-struction season.

Fines in the Orange Zone will:

•Now see a base fine of $210, which is triple the base fine for speeding;

•See a per kilometre in-crease from $2 to $3 for every km/h over 60 km/h, for speeds up to up to 90 km/h; and

•See a further increase from $4 to $6 for every km/h over 60 km/h, for speeds in excess of 90 km/h.

SGI and the Ministry of Highways and Infrastruc-ture will work together to ensure that proper signage is in place to notify motor-ists that the fine for speed-ing in a construction zone is three times the base fine for speeding, and that pho-to radar will be in effect for the next construction sea-son.

“The RCMP dedicated Traffic Unit has written over 415 tickets for speed-ing in a construction zone throughout the past two months,” RCMP ‘F’ Divi-sion Sgt. Paul Dawson said. “Our members have been vigilant in enforcing the Saskatchewan Traffic Safe-ty Act throughout the fall construction season. Our message for those travel-ling in the Orange Zone is it shouldn’t take a ticket to make you slow down and save lives.”

WP Sandin gets hairy for Movember

With Remembrance Day fast approaching, I would like to take this opportunity to per-sonally thank all of those who have served our country through their military service.

My thanks and very best wishes also go out to those who are currently serving Canada in the military.

We salute the bravery and sacrifi ces made by our servicewomen and servicemen. It is never easy to commit your life to service to one’s country, particularly in uncertain times.

That so many have chosen to protect our na-tion in spite of this danger is a tribute to their valour.

Our Conservative government supports the military through measures such as the Veter-ans’ Bill of Rights, giving better access to pro-grams for armed services members past and present.

Our government’s efforts to restore monu-ments and cenotaphs helps pay tribute to those who have served our country, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I know that you will all be thinking of our vet-erans and service personnel, and their families, on Remembrance Day.

We cannot thank them enough for the sacrific-es they have made in defence of our great nation.

Lest we forget.As always, I look forward to your letters, e-

mails and calls. Write me at: Rob Clarke MP, House of Commons, 502 Justice Building, Otta-wa, Ontario, K1A 0A6. I hope you will find time to visit my website http://www.robclarkemp.ca To contact me via e-mail use clarkr@parl.gc.ca or call my constituency office toll-free at 1-866-400-2334.

Students and faculty from WP Sandin Public High School are putting their best mustached face forward as they compete in this year’s Movember competition.

Each of the competitors have paid an entry fee and staff, students and residents at large can pay to cast their vote for who they believe will grow the best mustache.

Each November 1, thousands of men around the world

register for Movember events with clean shaven faces and grow their best mustache to raise money and aware-ness for prostate cancer and male mental health initia-tives.

Since a meagre beginning in Melbourne, Australia the movement has grown to include 1.9 million people and has raised more than $320 million CAD globally.

At the end of November, the WP Sandin’s female staff will determine the winner of the 2012 Movember con-test. Donations to the cause will also be accepted.

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com November 9, 2012

The announcement of three private liquor stores to open in the not so distant future has drawn the ire of the Saskatchewan Government and General Employ-ees Union (SGEU). The Saskatchewan Government announced the plan to these private stores earlier this week which will be located in new neighbourhoods in

Saskatoon and Regina.The argument for the decision

is that the government doesn't need to invest in more stores when the private sector can do the same job with no govern-ment inputs.

Arguments against it include the potential for lax regulation, loss of revenue to the private sec-tor and the loss of good paying government jobs.

The government already has a well designed money making framework within SLGA, with or without the retail stores.

SLGA acts as the wholesaler for every liquor establishment in the province. This means that

every bottle of hard liquor or spirits sold in this prov-ince has passed through SLGA. I don't see that chang-ing anytime soon.

The plan incorporates a 16 per cent discount for the new retailers on products purchased through the SLGA. With a fi xed markup of between 40 and 180 per cent, as reported in a Provincial Auditor's report this spring, this discount will have little impact on the SLGA's lucrative monopoly. Liquor consumption tax (LCT) has also lined the government coffers for years.

Every drop of beverage alco-hol sold in the province, from any type of retailer, is subject to a 10 per cent tax. LCT is charged on all purchases from the glass of wine with your meal to your football game beer.

The idea that private retailers will sell to anyone is not only ri-diculous but it is also insulting to the 600 plus private opera-tors in the province.

Social responsibility and huge fi nes keep these operators hon-est and little would change with a private liquor store. The real-ity there is that if retailers want to operate outside of the rules they will eventually be caught

and fi ned. If they continue to break the law, they will lose their liquor licence and will be forced to close. Not a great business model if you ask me.

The only valid argument against private stores is the loss of good paying government jobs. If the gov-ernment opts to sell off the existing stores once their leases run out, there will be a glut of liquor store em-ployees looking for work or taking a pay cut because private retailers will not be in a position to pay the way the government did. That will affect individuals, fami-lies and local economies which will not be good for the province as a whole.

Allowing private operators to open new stores in un-der served areas allows the government to meet a need without the cost of building a store while also broad-ening their revenue stream. It will be interesting to see how the government proceeds, whether it is a mix of public and private stores or full privatization.

Private liquor stores in

Saskatchewan

October a strong month for Saskatchewan

BRAD

DUPUIS

~News

Editor

October was a strong month on the employment front in this province. Pretty much every indicator saw an increase.

The size of the workforce – that’s the number of people available to hold a job – went up. So did the number actually working, particularly in the full-time category.

This is in contrast to the national picture was more sedate as the West continues to generate employment opportunities and lure people from other parts of the nation. That last fact under-pins the increase in the labor force in the prov-ince which rose by 2,500 in the month and nearly 16,000 in the past year.

And when they get here, they are fi nding a job. The number of working folks rose by 2,300 in the month and more than 12,000 in the year – one of the brightest performances in the country. Full-time positions that were fi lled increased by nearly 1,000 in October and roughly 14,000 in the past year which underscores quite nicely just how the labor market is working right now.

Employers are scrambling and they will offer full-time rather than part-time work to anyone who will take it.

* * *This is fi nancial literacy month in Canada.A wide range of players in the nation’s fi nancial sector have

joined forces to support an initiative of the Canadian Foun-dation of Economic education which provides resources to schools and the like in hopes of amping up our understand-ing of the world of money.

For many young people, setting out on their own is a big step and often a journey fi lled with economic potholes, es-pecially since learning about balancing a checking account is not usually something we do in school. But the lack of in-depth knowledge of fi nances is not restricted to young

people as we often hear statistics about the large percentage of the more mature population that has not saved anything for retirement.

Financial management is a personal thing so it is incum-bent that each of us learns to save, how to spend wisely and how to invest.

Among the top tips for saving offered by the foundation? Write down everything you spend, don’ t carry small change ‘cause you’ll spend it…instead, carry big bills which most of us are reluc-tant to break.

* * *Word that Potash Corp is talking to Israel about

increasing its stake in that country’s major pot-ash producer is adding to the mystique of the fer-tilizer ingredient as a strategic resource.

Potash Corp successfully used the ‘strategic re-source’ argument in its defence against a hostile takeover launched by BHP Billiton but now has

reported spoken with the Israeli Prime Minister about in-creasing its holdings in Israel’s major producer or perhaps merging with it.

It is interesting that permission to hammer out a business deal is being negotiated with a prime minister and not the management of the company but it is clear potash has be-come strategic to countries and the world’s food production complex.

Some writers have noted that Potash Corp trying to add to the volume of production under its control - by adding more output where it can more easily ship to Europe – has a certain business logic to it but the politics are less clear as a company that once said national sovereignty is critical is now trying to convince another country that it isn’t such a big issue.

With a fixed markup of between 40 and 180 per cent.... this will have

little impact on the SLGA's

lucrative monopoly.

Those that keep saying we are all the same in Saskatchewan conveniently ignore the reality that rural and urban folks do think differently.

It’s a thought worth keeping in mind the next time you hear federal Conservative politicians tell you the province should keep split urban/rural seats _ a concept politically advantageous to Conservatives these days but not necessarily the best way to represent either rural or urban voters.

But don’t take my word for it _ just look at any polling results. We are again reminded of this by the recent work by the University of Saskatche-wan Social Sciences Research Laboratories that polled Saskatchewan people for the Taking the Pulse series.

The massive survey of 1,750 people taken last March for the Saskatoon StarPhoenix, Regina Leader-Post and CBC Saskatchewan may very well be the most extensive polling of the province in recent memory. The survey with an ac-curacy of plus or minus 2.34 per cent 19 times out of 20 covered every area from abortion to the economy to im-migration to First Nations to gay marriages.

From such a huge undertaking one can expect many themes to emerge. But perhaps the most intriguing theme was that rural and urban people don’t often view things the same way.

For example, in the section on crime and public safety, ru-ral residents were more likely to think crime has increased (39 per cent) than urban residents (32 per cent) and rural residents were less likely to think crime has decreased (11 per cent) compared with urban folks (17 per cent).

The reality is that crime has been decreasing everywhere with the possible exception of large urban centres like Re-gina and Saskatoon that remain in the top three in the na-tion in most crime reporting statistics. There is no doubt that rural Saskatchewan is safer, yet the residents don’t necessarily feel crime is going down. Similarly, rural folks are less satisfi ed with policing (79 per cent) than urban res-idents (86 per cent satisfi ed). Perhaps this is a refl ection of reality, given that many small towns don’t have an RCMP depot.

In some other areas, rural Saskatchewan was more optimistic than their urban cous-ins.

More rural people (54 per cent) believe agric-business can be trusted to protect the environment than urban people (49 per cent).

And when asked whether home ownership is still attainable in Saskatchewan, rural resi-dents were more positive (76 per cent) than urban residents (64 per cent). Of course, this might have something to do with the fact that rural housing prices are cheaper. However, what emerged in the survey is confi rmation that rural residents are generally further right-of-centre in their views than urban resi-dents.

More rural residents thought that immigration levels were too high (34 per cent) than urban residents (25 per cent).

And while 70 per cent of rural residents don’t believe First Nations pay enough taxes, only 59 per cent of ur-ban residents felt the same way. And it was the moral is-sue questions in the University of Saskatchewan survey where we see some of the most pronounced differences between rural and urban.

While 73 per cent of urban residents surveyed believed the federal government should continue to recognize gay marriages, only 57 per cent of rural people felt similarly.

On re-instituting capital punishment, 65 per cent of rural people supported the notion compared with just 49 per cent of urban people. Sixty-four per cent of ru-ral residents disagreed with decriminalizing marijuana compared with 55 per cent of urban residents.

And while 74 per cent of urban residents said they be-lieved abortion was a woman’s choice, only 64 per cent of rural residents felt that way. Of course, other issues factor in. Rural Saskatchewan residents are generally older which factor into the thinking. And let’s accept that some of the survey differences are relatively small.

But the point is, rural residents do think slightly dif-ferently than urban folks.

Or so the surveys tell us.

Editor: We really have to question the wisdom of our current rela-

tions with China, especially the Canada- China Foreign In-vestment Promotion and Protection Agreement.

Stephen Harper and the Chinese President signed off in Vladivostok Sept. 8, no press release, it has been tabled quietly in Parliament and 21 sitting days later, Oct.31, 2012 comes into force.

No debate in public, Parliament or with other levels of gov-ernment. Governments can sign treaties without Parliamen-tary approval, but it is unusual for something of this magni-tude to not have debate.

Remember the big NAFTA debates? The House has been debating the Canada- Panama trade deal -trade volume $213 million- since last spring and the Canada- Jordan trade deal-trade volume $90 million- for 6 days. The Canada- China deal- trade volume $64 Billion- no debate whatever. Why no debate?

What is in this investment deal? It sets out a series of ob-ligations for Canada, new rights for Chinese state owned enterprises and fails to deliver on reciprocity for Canadian companies operating in China. We are bound to the terms for the next 15 years minimum. A future government that wants out has to give 1 years notice- and even when can-celled, any existing Chinese operations in Canada are guar-anteed another 15 years of benefi ts. Canada must promote and encourage Chinese investment in Canada. Chinese gov-ernment controlled companies operating in Canada must be treated exactly the same as Canadian companies.

Now the really nasty parts. The deal allows Chinese com-panies to sue Canada over decisions that can reduce or di-minish their expectations of profi t. China can claim damag-es against Canada for decisions at the municipal, provincial or federal level- even decisions of our courts. Belgium is dealing with a $3 billion claim with China under a similar treaty regarding a failed bank. Chinese investors need only a minority position in a Canadian company to be covered. Claims go to arbitration behind closed doors and are secret.

No other level of government is allowed to intervene or at-tend. We are essentially delegating a judicial component of Canadian sovereignty to international arbitrators. The arbi-trators are not subject to review in any court. The arbitrators are not judges, often being corporate lawyers, moonlight-ing academics or members of corporate boards. They can awards billions of dollars of public funds to Chinese govern-ment corporations for our governments enacting legislation that protects our energy security, environment, jobs or pub-lic health.

The mere threat of a lawsuit can be used in the early part of a dispute to get a government to change or deter certain decisions. This treaty requires that if,in the future, Canada wants to conserve its natural resources- all including water- we are only allowed to reduce Chinese access to the extent that we limit our own use. Australia, South Africa and India have wisely refused this type of investment treaty.

The government claim is that Canadian companies doing business in China will be protected.

Attending Remembrance Day ceremonies on Novem-ber 11 is the best-known way that we can publicly honour the men and women who served Canada in times of war, military confl ict and peace. In addition, there are many other ways that we can show throughout the year that we care about the sac-rifi ces and achievements of these one and a half million brave Canadians who served, and continue to serve, our country at home and abroad.

Remembering can take many forms: music, ceremo-nies, poetry, private refl ec-tion, discussion, art and shared memories from those who took part in protecting peace and freedom world-wide. In the following pages, you’ll fi nd 50 different ways that individuals and groups can share the importance of Remembrance.

More than 110,000 men and women died so that we may live in peace and free-dom today. Taking an active role to remember these peo-ple, along with the Veterans who experienced the hard-ships of war, military confl ict and peace efforts, is one way of saying “thank you.”

To see an example of a “Wall of Honour,” visit the Canadian Forces section of the Veterans Affairs Canada Web site.

Continued from page 5 However, Canadian companies cannot demand Canadian

jobs or materials be used in China. China can- and is- using Chinese labour and materials in Canada. China has the up-per hand with its huge investments here. Canadian compa-nies will not be buying Chinese state owned enterprises or investing in China to the same extent..

Is this deal just to push through the Northern Gateway pipeline? Chinese backers of this pipeline and tanker proj-ect would have the right to sue the British Columbia gov-ernment if it tried to block the project. In turn, the Chinese national company could demand that only Chinese labour and materials be used, and that it be protected from public opposition.

Note that up to 2,000 Chinese workers could soon be given temporary work permits to work in 4 largely Chinese owned coal mines in B.C. Temporary foreign workers in Canada have increased from 101,000 in 2002 to 300,000 in 2011. The $15 billion takeover of oil company Nexen by CNOOC,the corrupt organ of the Chinese Communist Party, is pending.

This investment deal gives China‘s national oil companies more power to shape Canada‘s energy markets and challenge the politics of this country than Canadians themselves.

We are reduced to hewers of bitumen and drawers of wa-ter by our Prime Minister. A request was made for an emer-gency debate in the House of Commons. Speaker Andrew Scheer decided that this deal did not warrant an emergency debate. What do you think?

Ways to remember those who served

AGRICULTUREAGRICULTURENovember 9, 2012 www.shellbrookchronicle.com Shellbrook Chronicle 7

The question of farmland ownershipWho should own farmland?That is a question which will increasingly be asked as we

move forward, and it is a question with an unclear answer.There is of course a feeling among many that we should

keep farmland owned by our neighbours as much as pos-sible.

It would be nice if farmland was owned by those who will till the soil to grow crops, but that is no longer reasonable.

Farming is a multi-million dollar business these days and is increasingly one where the investment is beyond neighbouring farmers.

Even so-called family farms are today often corporate entities encompassing fathers, brothers, sons and other family members who work collectively to manage the scale of operation we now see as average farms.

But the question which remains is what happens as ever larger farms come on the market?

Neighbouring farmers may no longer have the capacity to simply amalgamate their farms with that of others in the area through a buy-out.

In Saskatchewan for a very long time farmland needed to be owned by residents of the province.

It was a strange precept as part of a country, where you would assume any Canadian's name on the title would be seen as appropriate.

Those rules have been relaxed but there are still rules governing off-shore ownership of farmland.

The question is how inappropri-ate is the idea of someone in Europe or the Far East owning land which is then tilled by others?

It should always be remembered this country was formed via the ef-forts of immigrants.

Often those immigrants would have no doubt accessed fi nancial support

from relatives, or friends in their country of origin, to help expand farm operations.

In this era we are seeing a new infl ux of immigration into Canada, and that includes to the Prairie provinces.

Often those immigrants have access to money, and land is a good investment.

That may not mean they want to ride a tractor, or haul grain to the elevator themselves, but they may well see land as a viable investment over the long term.

It may not be the farm industry we most want to see, but it could be the best way for farmers today to realize the best returns when they seek to retire and put their land for sale.

When one decides it is time to retire they are looking to ensure they have the funds to enjoy retirement and to help the next generation of their family.

It matters not whether the cheque for the farm comes from someone down the road, or half a world away.

The answer of farmland ownership is a twofold one.On the one hand it is a case of farmers releasing the

greatest possible returns when retiring.But there is also the issue of having control of a resource

which is perhaps the most critical one to a country's long term viability since it is the source of food production. Even in a world of free trade holding local control of such a key resource is a compelling argument to make.

And the debate is one which remains to be defi ned as the face of agriculture continues to evolve.

BY MORLEY AYARS, PAGSASK MINISTRY OF

AGRICULTUREHuman resource man-

agement is becoming a ma-jor issue for many farms. How does one manage family labour so that fam-ily members remain inter-ested in the farming oper-ation? What is a good way to manage hired labour so that employees remain productive and engaged in the success of the farming business? A well thought out human resource plan will help in addressing these questions and other human resource issues on the farm.

Farmers who wish to keep the family farm within the family should think about developing a successor. This means having a positive attitude towards the agricultural industry and the fam-ily farm in particular. Children, who hear their farming parents complain about how weather, gov-

ernment and big business are robbing farmers of their profits, will prob-ably be discouraged from entering the farming busi-ness. Farming children will more likely be suc-cessful farmers when they choose farming as a desir-able career choice.

Developing a succes-sor involves the gradual transfer of knowledge, production and manage-ment skills and ultimately the transfer of the deci-sion making on the farm. This process requires a plan so that the succes-sor knows when they will be able to make the ma-jor business decisions. The business relationship between the parent and child will be short lived if the successor feels they are viewed as a source of inexpensive labour.

Many of the human re-source management skills required for developing a successor apply to dealing with employees. Gregory

Billikopf suggests in his book “Labor Management in Agriculture,” that hu-man resource manage-ment skills have three key characteristics. These involve a concern for em-ployees and their produc-tivity, an understanding on how to manage people and being committed to actions that lead to spe-cific results.

Employee output is di-rectly impacted by the manager’s attitude to-wards the quality of prod-uct being produced. The employee’s productivity will increase when they believe they are part of a team that is producing a valuable product. Their productivity is also im-pacted by how they feel management views them. There is a direct rela-tionship between perfor-mance and managements concern about the em-ployee’s needs. Employ-ee’s hope their manager values their opinions and feelings, treat them cour-teously, honour terms and conditions of employment agreements, provide posi-tive feed-back for good work, and are concerned about the productivity and well fair of other em-ployees.

Labour management skills involve the ability to get employees to meet their potential. That is they are doing what they

can do. This involves lis-tening to employees to see if there is a better way to accomplish the produc-tion goals. How things are done can be organized in a different manner. Insure that the job expectations align with the job de-scription. Hold effective recruitment strategies and interviews to insure that the farm is attracting qualified candidates. In-sure that underachieving employees are disciplined in a constructive manner as an example to other employees. When under-achieving employees are not managed properly the result could be other pro-ductive employees will adopt the same practices or quit.

This leads to action com-mitted to achieve specific results. Action here refers to dealing with people is-sues. Some are best left alone while others need to be dealt with immediately. When situations arise it is important that a plan be established that leads to a specific result. Action may be appropriate but speed is not essential.

During Veterans week, Canadians from across the country take time to remember and give thanks for the sacrifi ces of our Vet-erans. From the trenches to the skies over Europe and the oceans of the world, Cana-dians have fought with pride and courage to defend our way of life, and all that we hold dear. Without these men and women who have so bravely gone to defend us, we would most certainly not be able to live in this wonderful country we have today.

Throughout the week, we ask that Cana-dians fi nd different ways to remember and focus on making remembrance not only something you think about, but something you do, an active pursuit. Whether it is at-tending Remembrance Day ceremonies, wearing a poppy, or simply stopping a Vet-eran to say thanks.

Canadians should be commended for their already strong support, people come out in thousands for Remembrance Day ac-tivities and you often struggle to see some-one without a poppy. Remembrance alone is however not enough, not from a govern-ment. A government must take action on a constant basis to ensure that Veterans and their sacrifi ces are not only remembered, but the Veterans and their families who have made these sacrifi ces feel the support and receive the care and benefi ts that they so rightly deserve.

Our Conservative Government has made remembrance and the improvement of ben-efi ts and services twin priorities in our de-termination to show our deep sense of grati-tude to those that have and those that still serve. We devoted ourselves to enhancing

Veterans benefi ts through historic invest-ments and to cutting red tape around the important benefi ts and services that Veter-ans need and use. We have implemented up front payments for the Veterans Indepen-dence Program (VIP) which is eliminating thousands of paper transactions per year and are simplifying forms and using more plain language when communicating with Veterans. Recently, we launched a full suite of e-services including the Benefi ts Brows-er, the My VAC account, and my VAC book, three online tools that will help Veterans and their families to not only fi nd out what benefi ts and services are relevant to them but also allows Veterans to make changes to their personal information and track ap-plications 24/7 and from anywhere in the world including from a mobile device.

This year marks the 95th anniversary of the battle at Vimy Ridge as well as the 95th anniversary of the capture of Passchendale.

It also marks the 70th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid, all three remarkable mo-ments in Canadian history. We are proud to remember these events and the sacrifi ces of those that were there for their sacrifi ces have defi ned us as Canadians and without them the wonderful country we enjoy today would not be.

We must never lose sight of the sacrifi ces that have safeguarded all that we hold dear and must never forget to show our gratitude to those that have and continue to protect us.

Lest we forget.Randy Hoback, MPPrince Albert

Representatives from Free the Children gave a presentation at WP Sandin Public High School last week.

The community was chosen for a presentation be-cause of the school’s involvement in fund raising for the cause. Over the past few years, more than $3,000 has been raised by students from Shell-brook.

Free the Children speakers Robert Palmer and Kimberly McLeod made a presentation about the world water cr isis and how it is af fecting the people of various countries around the world.

The morning featured a presentation to the en-tire WP Sandin student body and the Shellbrook Elementar y Public School Grade 5 class while Free

the Children gave a workshop to 25 students in the af ternoon.

The students were hand chosen based on their involvement in fund raising for the cause over the past few years.

“It is ver y cool to see the impact at the end of the day that the kids have passion about gett ing involved and helping people around them,” said McLeod.

The philosophy of the international charity is based of f of the idea that children can help children through education.

Each year Grade 5 students at Shellbrook Elemen-tar y School take part in the Be the Change program which raises money and awareness for the charity.

Robert Palmer, of Free the Children, talks to stu-dent in the WP Sandin gymnasium.

The Leask Rec Board is going through a resurrec-tion for the 2012-13 year.

The board, which was largely dormant last year, is making a big comeback for this year with a long list of events. The group is kicking off the season with a “Welcome winter” pancake breakfast November 18 at the Leask Rec Centre where residents can go out for breakfast for a good cause while finding out what is in store for the season at the rink.

Once the natural ice rink is up and running, the group plans to host after school skates, family event Sundays and pick up hockey games in addition to ice rentals for hockey teams in neighbouring communi-

ties. Next up is the Christmas in November home busi-

ness and craft sale November 24 at the Leask Lions Hall.

December 8, the board will be hosting the Com-munity Christmas Party, featuring Dixie Highway. Tickets are $30, including meal and dance, which are available until December 1 at the Village and RM of Leask offices.

Funds raised from these events will go back into the operation and upkeep of the Leask Rec Centre.

Look for posters and further advertising in the com-ing weeks for rink event schedules.

747-2442Saskatchewan patients will benefi t

from legislative changes that will sup-port physicians and nurses working to their full scope of practice.

The Medical Profession Amendment Act, 2012 was introduced in the Legisla-tive Assembly today to replace legislation originally enacted in 1981. It will create the opportunity for both doctors and nurses to work to full scope and identify circumstances where the delegation of medical functions between providers is in the best interest of patients.

“These amendments support our ef-forts to provide appropriate care for patients and the safest possible health

care environments for both patients and health providers,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “This is a positive step forward in putting our patients’ in-terests fi rst.”

“The College of Physicians and Sur-geons strongly supports the change to its legislation,” College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan Registrar Dr. Karen Shaw said. “The changes will al-low for more fl exibility in appropriately licensing physicians, as well as providing more opportunity for care to be provided by the professionals who are appropri-ately skilled to provide that care.”

The amendments also provide the

College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) with the authority to create bylaws that will:

•allow the College to respond more quickly to the anticipated national changes in categories of licensure of health professionals; and

•improve the ability of the CPSS to contact physicians and facilitate protec-tion and storage of patient fi les.

“The Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association (SRNA) has been involved in ongoing dialogue with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan,” SRNA Executive Direc-tor Karen Eisler said.

Elks outpace Generals in AAA exhibition action

Brett Robillard tries to cut off the passing lane of the Generals’ Jason Lund-mark during Saturday nights fast paced exhibition matchup between the Shell-brook Elks and the Bentley Generals.

The Shellbrook Elks rewarded the home crowd with action packed win in A A A Exhibition action with the Bent-ley Generals.

The Elks took the lead early in the f irst on a goal from Hugh Hamilton. They doubled their lead with 4:59 left in the f irst period on a a goal from Floyd Cook.

Bentley battled back in the second with a gaol from Captain Sean Robert-son.

The third period was a wild one with f ive goals scored but the Elks managed to hang on for the win. Travis Dun-stall scored just over a minute into the third to tie the game a two goals a piece.

The Elks’ Cook scored his second of the night to give the Elks a 3-2 lead 30 seconds later but the Generals’ Curtis Austring tied the game again at three with 16:26 left in the period.

Goals from Joel Belair and Chris Wilson f ive minutes apart gave the Elks the cushion they needed to get the win. Chris Neizzner, of the Gener-als, scored with 3:51 lef t in the game to bring the game within one but were unable to tie the game.

Through three periods of hard check-ing, fast action, trips to the penalty box were relatively few as a combined

12 penalties were called. The Generals powerplay went 1 for 7 while the Elks went 1 for 5 with the man advantage.

The Generals, host of the 2013 Al-lan Cup, f inished the weekend without a win as they tied the Rosetown Red-wings Friday night before losing to the Elks Saturday.

Elks 4 Hague 1The opened the Fort Carlton Hockey

League season with a win at home Fri-day night over the Hague Royals.

Shellbrook jumped out to a lead 13 seconds into the f irst period off of the stick of Brett Robillard.

The Elks took a three goal lead be-fore the midway point of the f irst with goals from Ryan Gareau and Josh Pe-terson

Travis Goebel put the Royals on the board with 3 minutes remaining in the f irst before a long scoreless stretch that lasted more than two periods.

The Elks took a three goal lead with Peterson’s second goal of the night with just two seconds left on the clock.

The Elks hit the road next weekend as they visit the Tisdale Ramblers Fri-day night.

The Elks’ next home action is Satur-day November 17 when they host the Bruno T-Birds. The puck drops at 8 p.m.

The Prince Albert Co-operative As-sociation presented the Big River Co-operative Ski Hill with a $10,000.00 dollar donation to help complete their Chalet project.

The ski hill is a volunteer run organi-zation consisting of 7 ski runs with ski rentals and a restaurant. The new 30 X 60 foot addition comes with an upper

16 X 60 foot deck and a lower level 16 X 60 foot patio making it possible for patrons to enjoy the picturesque land-scape of the Northern Ski hill.

The new Chalet compares to any re-sort found in the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia and is simply breath taking. Total cost of the project was $ 425,000.00; the committee is

hoping to make this a year round facil-ity encouraging family reunions, wed-dings and other gatherings. The ski hill not only facilitates local residents but in fact brings people from all over Saskatchewan.

The donation was a way for the Co-op to support the people who support them.

-BY ERL SVENDSENIf you’re an avid gardener

like me, then there really isn’t any time of year that’s off limits for gardening, even in the depth of win-ter. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’re only at the start of winter with many mild days ahead.

One task that is best done between now and spring is tree pruning. With the leaves off, the tree’s skel-eton is visible as are poten-

tial problems that need to be corrected. In addition, branches are lighter in winter as most of the heavy tree sap has been stored down in the root system.

There are 2 main types of cuts – heading back and branch removal. Heading back is simply making the branch shorter by remov-ing a portion towards the end, usually a part of cur-rent or last year’s growth. Cut just in front of an out-

ward-facing bud. How far back is too far? My rule of thumb is if the resulting cut branch end has a larger diameter than my thumb, then consider cutting the branch back to a branch ‘Y’ or complete branch re-moval.

For complete branch re-moval, do not make a f lush cut. In other words, do not damage the branch collar or the slight swollen area where the branch meets the

trunk. At the same time, do not leave a stump long enough to hang your hat on. Large branch removal requires a multi-step ap-proach. First make a long shallow cut on the under-side of the branch, break-ing the bark, about 30 cm away from the trunk. Next, 45 cm away from the trunk, remove the branch entirely. Finally, remove the result-ing stump.

Attempting to remove the large branch in one cut may result in significant trunk bark damage: large branches typically break off before you finish mak-ing your cut but the bark remains unbroken. As the branch falls to the ground, a substantial strip of bark may be ripped from the trunk before finally break-ing off.

Hand pruners (secateurs) are appropriate for small cuts (< 2 cm). Anything larger requires saws and even power tools. Tools must be sharp to make clean cuts, ensuring rapid healing.

Three easy problems to spot right off are death, damage and disease. Re-cently dead branches may be difficult to spot and if in doubt, leave until spring. Older dead branches will have discoloured, shriv-eled or sloughing bark. Re-move these entirely back to the trunk. Depending where the branch is dam-aged or diseased, it may be as simple as cutting the branch back to just before the problem area if it oc-curs towards the end of the branch. Or, if affected por-tion is closer to the trunk, perhaps the whole branch needs to be removed. Rub-bing branches create their own kind of damage, where

bark is rubbed off on both branches where they touch. The solution here is to re-move one of the rubbing branches; the bark will eventually recover on the remaining branch. With diseases like fireblight (e.g. on apples, mountain ash, pear, etc.), black knot (e.g. on chokecherry, mayday, etc.) and other cankers, make your cut at least 6 inches back of the affected area and dip your cutting tool in rubbing alcohol be-tween cuts to prevent dis-ease spread.

Watersprouts (long up-ward growing shoots from the trunk or mature limbs) and suckers (similar to watersprouts, but grow-ing from the root system) need to be removed where they attach to the tree. These will eventually lead to crossing branches. With suckers it is best to dig down to where they attach to the root. Take care to minimize damage to the bark as this may stimulate additional branching at the cut area.

Minor hazard branches are those that will liter-ally poke you in the eye as you’re mowing the lawn (or shoveling snow), scratch the car, and in general make it difficult to move freely around in your yard and garden. These are dealt with either heading back or removal.

Safety first: Wear gloves and eye protection for per-sonal safety. Ensure that pets, children and obsta-cles are out of the way. Es-pecially make sure there’s nothing below that falling branches can damage (like your car and powerlines). If working from a ladder, move it rather than reach-ing over too far – remem-

ber that you’re holding sharp tools that you can lose track of as you fall with a tipping ladder.

Riders getting ready for playoff return

In a little more than 12 months from now , the best curlers in Canada will gath-er in Winnipeg with more than cash on the line, more prestige than a Brier title or more legacy-building hon-our than a world champion-ship.

On the line is something that has become the No. 1 prize in curling — a chance at Olympic gold.

Canada being the curling capital of the world brings extreme pressure to which-ever two teams win the Olympic Trials and head off to Sochi, Russia in Feb-ruary, 2014 with simple in-structions: Win gold.

As this year’s curling sea-son swings into high gear, the focus of all competi-tive curlers will be to gain enough points to be includ-ed in the elite fi eld in Win-nipeg Dec. 1-8, 2013. How elite? Only eight men’s and eight women’s teams will qualify.

All the usual suspects, and a few fresh names, will be in the running. The obvi-ous men’s contenders are Al-berta’s two Kevins, Koe and Martin, Manitoba’s Mike McEwen and Jeff Stough-ton, and Ontario’s Glenn Howard. Saskatchewan’s best hope in past years, Pat Simmons, gave up trying to beat the big boys and joined Koe’s team last year as third when Blake McDonald re-tired.

A couple of sleepers on the men’s side include Ontario’s John Epping, Manitoba’s Rob Fowler and Saskatch-ewan’s Steven Laycock, who was part of Simmons’ team

until his skip’s departure, and now skips his own team which has had a little bit of success on the World Curl-ing Tour circuit.

On the women’s side, Cheryl Bernard was Can-ada’s Olympic rep in 2010 at Vancouver and hopes to repeat. Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg is missing part of this season due to mother-hood, but vows to be ready for the Trials. Saskatchewan has two top contenders — Stefanie Lawton and Am-ber Holland — while B.C.’s Kelly Scott has a world title on her resume. Ontario’s Sherry Middaugh, a good ol’ Saskatchewan girl who moved east to marry Wayne Middaugh, is having a super year on the cash circuit.

If you’re a competitive curler, earning a berth in the Brier or Scotties in 2013 is a big deal, but qualifying for the Olympic Trials is the créme de la créme. You might be able to make it to a Brier or Scotties 10 times or more in a 30-year career. But when the Winter Olym-pics come along only once every four years, it’s a rare opportunity, ramping up the pressure for the ultimate prestige.

The beads of sweat are al-ready clearly evident on the faces of those with Olympic dreams.

• “Well, he is from the Show-Me state,” said Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times after suggesting that Mi-chael Schumacher, the Mis-souri athletic department's director of video operations, had some explaining to do when an audit of his school-

issued credit card uncov-ered a $7,605.50 charge from a Las Vegas strip club.

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on the eve of Game 3 of the World Series in Detroit: “Just be-fore the game, the stadium DJ played John Fogerty's "Centerfi eld." The nerve! Co-opting the great Bay Area rock legend's song to fi re up the Detroit fans. Where were Kid Rock and Bob Seger and Smokey Rob-inson when you needed 'em? Tell Smokey to warm up in the bullpen with "Tracks of My Tears."

• Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Nine people have been arrested in a gambling ring involving Florida youth football. There should be a rule for sports gambling, that players shouldn’t be asked to shave points until they can actually shave.”

• R. J. Currie of sportsde-ke.com: “The Prince George Cougars are encouraging fans to bring a dog to their Nov. 10 hockey game. Sug-gestion for a guest coach? Lindy Rrrruff.”

• Currie again: “The brain

trust of the 6-12 Blue Bomb-ers decided to keep GM Joe Mack. And people say quar-terback Buck Pierce needs his head examined?”

• And a groaner from Cur-rie for the hat trick: “Ru-mour has it Arnold Schwar-zenegger's estranged wife, Maria Shriver, planned to attend the L.A. Clippers Halloween home-opener dressed as Mozart. When Arnold heard about it, he said, "I'll be Bach."

• Greg Cote, Miami Her-ald: “The NHL cancelled all games through Nov. 30 as the lockout droned into its eighth week. The good news? It isn’t often the Pan-

thers can say they are tied for the best record in hockey heading into November.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Her-ald, after WWE rassler C M Punk accidentally slugged a spectator: "Ironically, this was the only fan who left the arena thinking that pro wrestling is real."

• Headline at TheOnion.com: "David Stern gets down on one knee, places ti-tle ring upon LeBron James' fi nger."

• CBS's David Letterman, on Hurricane Sandy: "This storm could mean the big-gest power outage since the Yankees in the playoffs. It

was so windy yesterday that a Jets receiver was actually blown into the end zone."

• Comedian Costaki Economopoulos, on Jets QB Tim Tebow trademarking the term "Tebowing": "He also tried to trademark 'in-complete pass,' but JaMar-cus Russell beat him to it."

• Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd, to the Orlando Sentinel, on why the Jaguars should've ac-quired Jacksonville legend Tim Tebow: "They would have fi lled the stadium with chicks alone."

Time for the playoffs! After go-ing home early one year ago, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are back in the CFL post-season party and they'll visit Calgary's house in the Western SemiFinal Sunday afternoon.

The Riders learned late-Friday night that they would face Calgary in Round 1 after the Stampeders' Week 19 win in Edmonton.

That rendered Saturday's Rider game in BC meaningless which is a good thing because the Rid-ers lost 17-6, their fourth loss in a row.

"My fi rst thought was people talked about whether it's better to go East or West in the playoffs but I think there was a stretch in the season where we played Calgary,

BC and then went to Toronto," Rider head coach Corey Chamblin said confi dently.

"I told you we'd do it (win them all). It's one of those things where

it just solidifi ed what we thought and it happened that way."

Oh my what a fun week this is going to be! The Riders feel like they have a home playoff game because the Rider Nation habitu-ally takes over McMahon Stadium in Calgary and this week will be no different.

The Stampeders are the Riders' top rival and there's plenty of hard feelings between the two.

The Roughriders have quietly simmered since blowing a fourth quarter lead in Week 4 at Calgary, their only visit to McMahon, and would love to atone for it.

Of course outspoken Calgary tailback Jon Cornish said Cham-blin "isn't classy" for boldly guar-anteeing he wouldn't rush for 100

yards in their Week 13 meeting in Regina.

Of course, Cornish didn't and got so frustrated in the process he dropped his pants and mooned Rider fans on the East side of Mo-saic Stadium.

"I saw what Cornish said about me," Chamblin, who has never suffered from a lack of confi dence, said.

"You tell Jon Cornish all of Canada knows him for what he did. And in 30 years he'll always remember me and my classiness."

Consider the fi rst shot fi red.Of course there's the little

matter of the Riders carrying a four-game losing streak into the playoffs. But don't be fooled; Sat-urday's loss in BC was a mirage.

Darian Durant and Weston Dressler took the night off and Chris Getzlaf only played a series. On defence Odell Willis and Joe Lobendahn were excused as well.

"Glad it's over with," Chamb-lin said after the game. "Time to move onto the playoffs. We were able to see some good things out there. We didn't stack a full deck but some guys played their hearts out."

Chamblin has long maintained that come playoff time, his young troops would be ready. It would appear as though they are, as evi-denced by the comment from Sat-urday's offensive game star Bran-don West.

He said "It's grind time".Let's grind.

Now, the real curling pressure begins

Alice Betty ViklundVIKLUND - Alice Betty, 1920 – 2012.The family of the late Alice Betty Viklund sadly announce

her passing on October 16, 2012 at the age of 92. She was ush-ered into Heaven peacefully with Nurse Gwen Nolan of WPP in Canwood, singing hymns to her.

Alice was born in Sweden on July 6, 1920 and immigrated to Canada in 1927, with her mother, grandparents and other relatives. Her family eventually settled in the Deer Ridge Area with many other Swedes.

In 1931 she began attending the National Park School in Deer Ridge, but only until she was fi f-teen as she had to quit to help at home. In 1937 she travelled to Nel-son, BC with her family and after spending a short time there she re-turned to Sask.

In 1947 she married Walter Viklund and they settled down on his farm in Deer Ridge. While in Deer Ridge, David was born in

1949 and Edith (Edie) in 1952. The snowy winter of 1955/56 must have been too much

for them, so in March of 1956 they rented out their land and moved to Buffalo Narrows. There Walter worked on the big Churchill Mink Ranch and Alice worked at Waite Fisheries Fish Plant. After 3 years they purchased their own mink ranch and worked together feeding up to 1100 mouths one summer.

In 1966 mink prices fell to almost nothing so Walter be-gan working on the ferry and Alice worked as a guard for the RCMP. In 1976 they moved back to Deer Ridge to help their son David with farming.

Alice was left a widow in 1985 and lived on the farm till she moved into Heritage Place in Shellbrook in 2003. In 2008 her health took a turn for the worse and she moved to Whispering Pine Place in Canwood, where she lived until her passing.

Grandma was a very hardworking lady and loved being outdoors. She loved gardening, growing fl owers, picking ber-ries, fi shing, working with cattle and almost anything outside. We’re not sure if she really enjoyed it but in the summer she would cut all her grass with a push mower and in the winter

shovel and sweep her steps and sidewalk after a snowfall. But she didn’t spend all her time outside, as she was also an

exceptional cook and baker. Her cookie jar was usually well stocked as well as her candy dish. It was almost impossible to stop at her house without having coffee, baking, lunch or if you were really fortunate perhaps a Palt Supper (Swedish dish).

Another gift she had was the ability to talk and visit with anyone whether a friend , neighbor, family member or a stranger at the grocery store, fi shing along the lake shore, hos-pital, church, etc. She loved children and was always involved in Sunday School. She also hosted Vacation Bible School in her yard for a week straight for several years. She looked for-ward to going to Bible studies and church on Sundays and loved singing hymns. We will miss you grandma and will hold many good memories in our hearts forever.

Alice is lovingly remembered and will be greatly missed by her son, David (Theresa) Viklund of Deer Ridge, B.C. ; grand-sons, Keith Henry (Kim) of Vancouver, B.C., Kevin Henry of Saskatoon, SK, Kerry Henry of Saskatoon, SK, Royce Viklund of Deer Ridge, SK; granddaughters, Shauneen Viklund (Mi-chael) of Prince Albert, SK, Raeleen Viklund of Saskatoon, SK; eight great grandchildren; sister, Betty Kazakoff of Salmon Arm, B.C.; sisters-in-law, Anita Ek of Summerland, B.C. and Agnes Viklund of Creston, B.C.; son-in-law, Harold Henry of Saskatoon, SK; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by: her husband, Walter Viklund; daughter, Edie Henry; parents, Oscar and Jenny Ek; sis-ter, Ruth Randell; brother, Eric Ek; in-laws, Karl and Tekla Viklund; grandson, Mark Viklund; numerous brother and sister-in-laws; and many of her former friends. The Funeral Service was held on Friday, October 19, 2012 at 2:00 PM at the Pentecostal Church, Shellbrook, SK. offi ciated by Pastor Claude Tucker. Interment followed in Deer Ridge Cemetery. The pianist was Helen Stene, the eulogists were her grand-daughters – Shauneen and Raeleen and a special song was performed by Alice’s former Deer Ridge Bible Study Group. Pallbearers were Kevin Henry, Shauneen Viklund, Raeleen Viklund, Royce Viklund, Jadeyn Viklund and Sarah Henry. Honorary Pallbearers were “Everyone who knew and loved Alice”. Memorial donations in memory of Alice may be made to the Canwood and District Bus Association Inc. or the Gide-on Bible Society. Arrangements entrusted to Hawryluk Fu-neral Home.

OBITUARY~

Receive the Son and you get ev-erything. I read somewhere that has been referred to as a modern day par-able.

“A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art: everything from Picasso to Raphael. When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, there was a

knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.

He said, “Sir, you don’t know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart. He died instantly. He often talked about you and your love for art.”

The young man held out the pack-age and said, “I know this isn’t much. I’m not a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.” The father opened the package and gazed at a portrait of his son. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured his son in the painting.

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. When visitors came to his home, he always drew attention to the portrait of his son before he showed them any other great works.

When the father died, his paintings were to be auctioned. Many influen-tial people gathered, excited about the opportunity to purchase them. On the platform sat the painting of the son.

The auctioneer pounded his gavel and asked for someone to start the bidding. The crowd scoffed and de-manded the Van Goghs and the Rem-

brandts. But the auctioneer persisted. “Who will start the bidding? $200? $100?” The crowd again insisted on seeing the famous paintings. Still the auctioneer solicited, “The son! The son! Who’ll take the son?”

Finally a voice said, “I’ll give $10 for the painting.” The longtime gar-dener of the father was poor and couldn’t afford anything more. While the auctioneer continued to pursue a higher bid, the crowd became angry. The auctioneer pounded the gavel and sold the painting for $10 to the gardener.

An eager buyer from the second row bellowed, “Finally, on with the auc-tion.” But the auctioneer explained, “I’m sorry, the auction is over. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auc-tioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, in-cluding the paintings. The man who took the son gets everything.” Would you be willing to receive the Son of God Jesus? Receive Him you receive everything you will possibly need.

Starting this fall, rumble strips will be used in prioritized work zones. In addition, gates that narrow the approach to construction zones will be installed.

Both devices are intended to slow traffi c to

60 km/h in construction zones. The ministry will review the effectiveness of these devices and develop guidelines for their use at other locations starting in the 2013 construction sea-son.

Fines in the Orange Zone will: • Now see a base fi ne of $210, which is triple

the base fi ne for speeding;• See a per kilometre increase from $2 to $3

for every km/h over 60 km/h, for speeds up to up to 90 km/h; and

• See a further increase from $4 to $6 for ev-ery km/h over 60 km/h, for speeds in excess of 90 km/h.
