Canada Golden Fortune Potash Corp:Solution mine proposed for SE Saskatchewan
BY KEVIN WEEDMARKCanada Golden Fortune Potash Cor-

development that would produce about a million tonnes of potash per year.
ground mining in that it involves inject-ing water underground to dissolve potash and other minerals, pumping the water with the dissolved minerals to the surface, and separating the minerals from the wa-ter at the surface.
The area of the Broadview project is more suited for solution mining than un-derground mining because it’s far deeper than underground mines in the area, and the added heat and pressure at the depth

is at a depth of 1,500 to 1,600 metres.If the project, located south of Broad-
view and north of Kipling, goes ahead, it would create up to 2,500 jobs during peak construction, and up to 180 permanent jobs once in operation.
Golden Fortune started environmental baseline studies in 2015, and completed a scoping study and environmental impact
assessment.If the project is approved, the company
hopes to start construction in late 2018 and be in operation as early as 2021.
The mineral rights for the project covers Township 15 and Range 06, 07 and 08.

Bernard Pranke with Superior Ag and Auto and Adam Brehaut with Hat Creek Welding completed the frame for a miniature steel version of the Fleming Lake of the Woods grain elevator last week. Bernard said it is one of the largest projects he has worked on, using about 4,000 pounds of steel. The replica is about 1/3 the size of the real elevator, which was destroyed by fire. The miniature elevator will be located at the site of the real elevator in Fleming. Left: Adam Brehaut welding the frame. Above: Bernard Pranke with a mini paper replica of the elevator, from which he drew the design for the steel replica.

Canada Golden Fortune Potash Corp:Solution mine proposed for SE Saskatchewan
Continued from frontGolden Fortune is currently working on
the detailed engineering design of the cav-ern development and plant processing.
Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatche-wan Chamber of Commerce, said the new potash mine would be a welcome addition to the province.
“2,500 jobs during construction? Our economy could take that,” he said. “A cou-ple of hundred jobs permanently would be great for the whole region, and you have all the ancillary jobs—transportation, etc.
“We have some of the best (potash) re-serves in the world, so if they’re going to develop a potash mine anywhere in the world, Saskatchewan would be the place.
“When you start to add some of the metrics that places like Russia can add to save those mining companies money, less workplace safety issues, subsidized trans-portation, it does make it more competi-tive.
“Right now the market is slower than would be ideal, but maybe this is the time to build, and be ready when the market goes up. If this project goes forward, it’s good news for Saskatchewan.
“In the long term, the markets we sell to have to be committed to Saskatchewan and that would take a more universal
trade deal. The TPP might have some ad-vantages to that.
“We need to get back to the point where we’re the predominant player in the world, and right now with low markets, softer prices, and lots of production hap-pening, it’s hard to get there.
“Our long term game has to be to posi-tion ourselves as the providers of the best product with the best logistics and very very competitive prices.
“Even though the potash market has been softer, there are thousands of people every day who go to work in or around a potash mine.
“Mosaic’s employment and their com-mitment to the community, and the Nu-trien merger building on PotashCorp’s commitment to the province and their communities is something the province can be proud of.
“Potash is a huge industry and it’s vi-tally important to the economy. Potash is one of our biggest and most important economic drivers, and anything that can add to that industry will be good for the province.”
“The potash mines you already have in southeast Saskatchewan are some of the
we’ve got. Those companies are going to
keep them going. The employment base leads to the stability of the real estate and the stability of the retail sector that you
have in places like Moosomin, and that’s not going to change. As the premier liked to say, I like our chances in the long run.”
Scenes from the Canada Golden Fortune Potash Corporation open house at Broadview Tuesday.
The area marked in blue on the map is the area within which the com-pany would be allowed to mine potash.
BY SGT SCOTT FEFCHAK, MOOSOMIN RCMPThis fog, mist, and frost has made for an

Tolerance, rights, and getting alongPrime Minister Justin Trudeau—who touts his diver-
sity, tolerance and inclusion—has attracted diverse criti-cism over his latest stumble.
Pro-life and pro-choice organizations, businesses, char-ities, opposition parties, and religious groups from Chris-tian to Protestant, Muslim to Sikh are unhappy.
The Liberal government has doubled down on its de-mand that Canada Summer Jobs applicants must check off an attestation box that their “core mandate” and the summer job they are providing respect a list of rights, in-cluding reproductive rights.
This is further detailed to include “the right to access safe and legal abortions.” If the box isn’t checked, no money, no summer students, regardless of the job the stu-dents are doing.
On the “reproductive rights” issue, this reasoning might hold if the government is paying an organization
organization is trying to restrict access, which was pro-hibited in the 1988 Morgentaler decision of the Supreme Court of Canada.
But beyond that, any Canadian has the constitutional right to their conscience and expression to hold whatever view they want on abortion or any other issue for that matter.
It’s no one’s business—least of all government’s—to make your views a pre-condition to getting a grant to hire a summer student.
It is odd that in the name of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, designed to protect individuals from the State, that Mr. Trudeau is coercing people to agree with his gov-ernment’s position on abortion rights.
This couldn’t be further from diversity, inclusion or tol-erance.

And, as a trial convenes next week at the Queen’s Bench
courthouse in Battleford, an important test lies ahead for Saskatchewan people.
Gerald Stanley will be tried on a charge of second de-gree murder in the killing of 22-year-old Colten Boushie, who was shot on Stanley’s farm 18 months ago.
Stanley is white. Boushie is indigenous. And this case
anger and vitriol, all of which gets in the way of reconcili-ation and a constructive conversation.
From racists making despicable comments about indig-enous people to activist academics speculating on pos-sible violence and comparing it to “a lava dome waiting to explode,” none of this moves us to progress.
The better view is that we’re all in this together—a jour-ney best made respectfully and with maturity, tolerance and perspective.
Saskatchewan is never better than when we look to the wisdom of the past. Our province’s motto, “From Many People, Strength” is a good start.
So is a Cree proverb at the Saskatchewan Indigenous Cultural Centre: “Realize that we, as human beings, have been put on this earth for only a short time and we must
use this time to gain wisdom, knowledge, respect and the understanding for all human beings since we are all rela-tives.”

After a thorough review, the Government of Sas-katchewan has decided to accept the recommenda-tion for a 3.5 per cent rate increase for SaskPower, compared to the original
The government thanked the Saskatchewan Rate Re-view Panel for their work.
As planned, the increase will come into effect March 1. This represents an in-crease of approximately $4 on monthly residential power bills.
“Every year, SaskPower is keeping up with new re-cords of power consump-tion, while working to keep power rates as low as pos-sible,” Minister Respon-sible for SaskPower Dustin
Duncan said. “They face an important challenge to maintain and grow our power grid. With their re-
-ing the rate review period, government agrees with the Rate Review Panel that SaskPower can meet this challenge in 2018 with a lower increase. We will continue to challenge Sask-Power, and all government agencies, to do more with less, and compromising service to Saskatchewan homes and businesses.”
In its rate application, SaskPower outlined the investment of the rate in-crease in major mainte-nance and growth projects to reduce the number and duration of power out-
ages; modernize the power grid; meet the growing de-mand for more power; and help SaskPower reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent from 2005 levels, by 2030.
“It’s a balancing act that we take very seriously,” SaskPower President and CEO Mike Marsh said.
“Electricity is vital in all our lives and for our econo-my. The power has to be on when and where we need it. SaskPower also has to
with its operations. That’s why we’ve optimized our processes, reduced admin-istrative costs and we plan to reduce this spending by an additional $142 million in the next three years us-
ing various restraint mea-sures. This 3.5 per cent will allow us to continue in-vesting in the grid and we will investigate additional ways to save money to compensate for this lower-than-planned increase.”

Monday, January 29, 2018 The World-Spectator - Moosomin, Sask. 7SECPSD Board gets Instructional Technology update
BY NORM PARK“We take what the teachers and students are doing
with their curriculum and work with them,” said Jeff Walters, the regional public school division’s instruc-tional technology co-ordinator, who was speaking to the South East Cornerstone Public School Division (SECPSD) board members on January 17 during their monthly business session.
Walters had been asked to provide a 20-minute pre-sentation to update the trustees on the progress being made on the technology fronts as they pertain to class-room instructions.
-structional technology branch of the public education system. The team consists of Walters, and Grant Tay-lor who is a Carlyle—based educator and consultant. There used to be four members on the team, but due to recent cuts to education funding, that base has now been reduced to two. That has not slowed the progress in programming though, Walters explained.
Taylor made a brief appearance before the board through the wonders of online imaging and robot-ics, wheeling his image into the conference room via a rolling robot. He explained this was just part of the new age of technology that is enhancing the learning experiences for students throughout the division.
“We are building capacity in the schools,” said Wal-ters in the early part of the presentation. He said that in most of the schools now, even the small facilities, there is usually “a tech person others can go to for support and technical glitch problem solving.
help us provide services and support in the school. This will be a two-way street to exchange best prac-tices and will ultimately help the teacher(s) with pro-fessional development.”
Solving technical problems in-house is a genuine cost-saving measure and one that is encouraged by the instructional technology team that was halved in size heading into this academic year.
The programming trains new teachers with elec-tronic grade books, division services and other edu-cational technology practices, Walters said. He added that the instructional technology position is different from an information system, or tech help desk person. IT supports educational technology applications.
Interest in program coding is growing quickly with-
in the system and Walters added that while it is not embedded in the curriculum yet, “it overarches it.” He provided an example of reaching beyond curriculum requirements where a group of Estevan Comprehen-sive School students used a virtual reality program to visit Greece. He said collaboration efforts like that, “does not get in the way of the teachers.”
Coding Quest programs are now a regular feature for students in Grades 4 to 6, he noted. There are 44 teachers in the division within 21 schools (those that offer high school programming) who are involved in the read and write technology services. Technology
-er occasions when teams have to travel to exchange ideas. These matters can now be handled through on-line conferences.
It was noted during the presentation that enrolment in the division’s Cyberstone online schooling, offered to students from Grade 8 to 12, is now 520. There is
also an e-library for instructional technology and the
student information system, which could become a step closer, as soon as next month, Walters said.
Walters wrapped up the presentation by noting the 21st Century needs to include the four Cs.
“That is communication, collaboration, critical thinking and some creativity,” he said. He enhanced the presentation by bringing to the table supporting information regarding learning highlights in assis-tive technology, participation numbers on the Coding Quest program, professional development initiatives, and the resources available through the e-library.
Board chair Audrey Trombley thanked Walters for the update that brought information to the conference table regarding present and future directions for in-structional technology in SECPSD schools.
Grant Taylor, instructional technology consul-tant, arrived at the meeting via robotics, mak-ing a brief wheeling appearance in front of the board as part of the technology presentation.

BY KEVIN WEEDMARKFive years ago, Jamie McDonald came running
across the Canadian prairies in the middle of winter.The Brit had already biked from Thailand to Eng-
land and set the world record for continuous cycling to raise money for the children’s hospital that helped him as a child.
Now he was running across Canada to raise more money, but was not prepared for the weather.
Elkhorn’s Jolene Toder started a group of “Mama Bears” to watch over Jamie and try to keep him safe as he travelled across the Prairies, stopping at schools along the way to share his story.
It mostly worked—the only permanent damage from his cross-Canada run was losing part of his nose to frostbite.
He completed the trip, and managed to raise $500,000 for Canadian children’s hospitals along the way.
Now he has written a book about his adventures and is on a book tour, stopping at many of the places
On Monday, he returned to Elkhorn School, and on Tuesday he spoke at Wapella School.
In an interview after he spoke at Elkhorn School, he said he started his cross-Canada run on a whim, and didn’t do a lot of advance planning.
-cause I was just about to start the run. I sat next to this woman who was a Newfy and she said ‘what are you
run across Canada I think’ and she’s like ‘are you jok-ing?’ and I was like ‘no, I think it is happening’ and she said ‘well, where are you staying?’ and I said ‘I have no idea’ and she thought about it for ten seconds and
to St. John’s this time, four and half years later, they’re at the airport there to pick me up and then reminisce.”
he started the run.“I now know here is more in me then I ever real-
ized,” he says. “There is a belief now that I can achieve anything and I guess before the run I would be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t sure I could make it. I know my life purpose now. I know why I’ve got to wake up ev-ery single day and I think that is happiness.
“I am retracing the route but now I’m in a car and I’ve since got heaters and I’m driving the exact same route of the run. So I’m meeting with all the people that helped me through, ran with me, and took me into their homes—I’m now kind of rekindling those friendships again.
“Right here in Elkhorn I’ve reconnected with Jolene and Chance and her family and Tawnis so now I’m seeing these same faces again. The run comes back like it happened yesterday once you start meeting every-one again.”
McDonald says he has high hopes for the book.“After the run I ended up spending two years or
more writing the book, and I’ve got dyslexia, and it was one of the biggest challenges of my life. It’s now a best seller in England, and what I’ve done is put 100 per cent of the royalties to charity. And I’m re-ally lucky—since the run I’ve become a motivational
really well. So for me the book is about giving back again and kind of saying thank you to Canada as well. I am out here volunteering my time and I just want to say thank you. It is weird, I’m seeing all these Canadi-ans and they are saying ‘thank you for what you gave us for doing the run’ and I’m like ‘no, no, no you don’t understand— I couldn’t have made it with out you.’ ”
Why does he think the book has become so popular?“Because I have got dyslexia there are no fancy
words—it’s just my voice, it is really simple. So that is the common messages I keep getting—that they felt as though they could run across Canada with me.”
The book was a challenge for McDonald.“It took two and half years. It was brutal. Running
across Canada was easy, writing a book not so much.”He says writing the book helped put his life in per-
spective.“When people ask ‘so how did you end up running
across Canada?’ my answer was always ‘it just kind of happened’ which is kind of true. It was kind of an ac-cident how it came about, but once you start diving in a bit deeper you see all the stepping stones of how you actually get to where you get to in life. Then I realized I was inspired a long the way so I share stories of those important stepping stones.”
What did McDonald learn about himself while writ-ing the book?
“I found out I’m a better writer than I thought I was,”
write, and it makes you appreciate actually what you achieve. Because I am a bit of a hungry hippo, I just keep going at always striving forward to just keep on going. What the book has done was make me stay still
I’m writing about my frost bitten nose and losing a bit of it I’m like ‘did I really do that?’ ”
What was his approach to writing the book?“I pretty much just dumped out my thoughts and
my feelings from my heart. So a lot of it was about the people that helped me through. And that is partly my message that the world is just incredible, the human spirit is just out of this world. I’ve put myself out there in Canada and I was vulnerable and I got to see how incredible the Canadians were helping me through.”
McDonald says inspiring children helps motivate him to do what he does.
“There was a little kid that we have just done a class-
cheekily told him he now has a super hero power. And I just watched his eyes light up and he said ‘does that
Once he completes his book tour in Vancouver, Mc-Donald plans to do another run—this time across the United States. He will head south from Vancouver, down the U.S. west coast, across the southern States, and up the East Coast.

Senior Hockey Roundup
Game one of the two-game total-point series goes in
Kim Poole photo
BY KARA KINNAIt’s a long way from
home for a 15-year-old, but Kayden Skulmoski from Moosomin says he is loving playing hockey in Omaha, Nebraska with Omaha’s U16 Midg-et AAA team.
Skulmoski’s team plays in the High Per-formance Hockey league (HPHL). He says he was scouted at the Sask First Camp last spring and invited to try out for the team. After making the team the decision was made to head south.
“The reason I came down here is because it is kind of like a dream of mine to play NCAA hockey, because you get more exposure coming down here from NCAA scouts,” he says.
Skulmoski started his season with the Omaha U16 team in September, and hopes to play college level hockey some day.
“I’m trying to get some exposure to the USHL and then maybe the NAHL and maybe get a scholarship in the future and play college hock-ey,” he says.
Skulmoski grew up
in Moosomin and came through the Moosomin Minor Hockey program, playing with the Mooso-min Ice Badgers before going to Melville to play Pee Wee AA and Bantam AA.
He says he loves play-ing hockey in Omaha.
“I really like it, it’s a good program, and they have a good level of hockey here,” he says. “I go out on the ice every day and work out after.”
Skulmoski leads a busy life, putting in long hours at school before heading
hockey after school each day. Weekends are usu-ally spent on the road.
“Usually we leave on a Thursday after school and we take Friday off from school and then we travel up to Denver or Chicago—pretty much all around the U.S.” he says.
He says he feels like he is doing okay on the team despite his small stature.
“Starting out as a small guy it’s kind of hard playing against all the big guys. But I’m getting quite a bit of ice time,
year,” he says. “I feel like I’ve gotten
a lot better. The coaches are very good. They’ve been through it all. Some of them have played in the NHL. They are really good coaches.”
Skulmoski says the hockey is “a lot faster and more physical with lots of body checking,” compared to the hockey he was playing before. He says he wants to continue to work on his strength.
“Everybody else is a lot bigger than me, I’m a small guy,” he says.
While the Omaha U16 team’s season hasn’t been perfect, Skulmoski says they are gunning for a shot making it past their division in playoffs at going to the national tournament.
“We started out pretty well and then we hit a dip in our season where we weren’t doing that good,” he says. “Now we’re starting to go back up again. Last weekend we beat the top third and fourth team in all of the U.S. We’re kind of up and down sometimes.”
He says they have a real shot at making it to nationals.
“It is different com-pared to Canada,” he says. “You play the teams in your division that are around you and whoever does the best goes to na-tionals. We would have to be one the top teams that are around our area to go to nationals.”
Skulmoski can play with the Omaha U16 team until he’s 16 and says he’s hoping to re-turn next season.
