Bear and Gabrielle both drafted to the NHLBY JULIA DIMA

Two local hockey players are seeing their lifelong dreams to be NHL players come closer and closer. Last weekend, the NHL Draft took place, and both Jesse Ga-brielle and Ethan Bear were drafted to NHL teams. This is following the NHL Scouting Combine, which took place in early June, where both players interviewed with a number of NHL scouts, and had a chance to showcase their physical strength. At the combine, Gabrielle broke three scouting combine physical endurance records.

Gabrielle was picked up by the Boston Bruins in the fourth round, 103th overall and Bear, who is from Ochapowace First Nation, was drafted by the Edmonton

Jesse Gabrielle grew up in Moosomin, and played his minor hockey in Minnesota before coming back to Cana-da to play WHL with the Brandon Wheat Kings. In Janu-ary, Gabrielle was traded to the Regina Pats, where he had a competitive season, scoring 10 goals and nine assists in

his 33 regular season games with the team.For Gabrielle, who has had his eyes on the Bruins for a

long time, hearing his named called to head up and pick up his Boston Bruins jersey was an exciting and relieving moment.

-ders,” Gabrielle says. “This past month has been really stressful with all the scenarios going in your head about where you’re going to get drafted or if you will—just to hear your name called was a big relief. All the stress and worrying is over and now you can focus on training camp.”

Gabrielle says that of the teams he met with during the

Gabrielle says he is excited, but he’s focusing on con-tinuing to work hard and prove himself to the Bruins.

“It’s a milestone and I’m happy about it, but, there’s so much work to do, so I am trying to focus on having a good day today celebrating, and then just get back to training,” he says. “This gives me a sense that my hard work is pay-

Ethan Bear has been playing with the Seattle Thunder-birds in the WHL for two seasons now. In his two seasons, Bear has racked up 19 goals and 38 assists. In addition, Bear was selected to play with Team Canada in the U18 World Championship in Switzerland this year.

Family Practice Centre working on recruitmentBY KARA KINNA

From July to January, the Moosomin Family Practice Centre will be employ-ing three locums in the hopes that at least one of those locums will make Moosomin home.

“We have three who are all Canadians, Canadian born, Canadian under grads, and then did their medical degrees in Ire-land and Australia and then came back and did their family medicine rotation in

MFPC.“All of these people will be coming for

locums and be employed through the clin-ic. They will be working at the clinic and the hospital like us, and they will be shar-ing for the weekend calls.

“These three are all Canadians that have trained elsewhere and done their family med rotation in Regina and will be com-ing to us for locums—anything from one to four months—and that will take us through to mid-January.

“They will have a locum period, see how it is, and go from there.”

With a number of doctors working part-time, and after losing one of its full-time

doctors, the MFPC is presently unable to cover the emergency room at the South East Integrated Care Centre seven days a week like it did in the past. Presently the MFPC handles the ER on weekends with the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region us-ing locums to cover the ER and open ac-cess clinic on weekdays.

The MFPC has also reduced the amount of time it is spending on satellite clinics in the surrounding communities.

-ing with the health region in an attempt

says the health region helped the MFPC make contact with the three locums that are coming.

“We’ve had a few locums come as well from Regina who have worked with these people and recommended them to us,” he adds.

locums will enjoy practicing in Moosomin and want to stay.

“I’m hoping that they will enjoy rural practice and that they will want to stay longer. And then we’ll get our numbers back up to where they should be,” he says.

“It’s been a long road. It still will be a little uncertain over the summer. But from September 1, at least through our clinics,

can increase the capacity through our clin-ics then because of that. And then we will be able to handle the satellites as well. So that will a big help, having those people through our clinics.”

One of the doctors coming has had ex-perience doctoring during the Ebola crisis.

“He was in Sierra Leone and has spent time there, and he’s done some military

in Ireland, so he’s been in Europe as well.

Another of the doctors has done locums around the province through the Sas-katchewan Medical Association, and the

“We are just happy to have them and have the opportunity to show them ru-ral practice and hopefully it works,” says

The Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region is also hoping to hire two doctors through the SIPPA program for the fall, with plans for those doctors to be employed more permanently at the South East Integrated Care Centre. The SIPPA program recruits medical graduates to Saskatchewan from abroad.

“Our intention is that two of the success-ful candidates would come to Moosomin,” says Karen Earnshaw, VP or Integrated Health Services with RQHR.

“Those candidates would be looking to come and join a practice at the hospital as an opportunity to get started in that com-munity.”

The RQHR’s current SIPPA seat intake is full. Two of the SIPPA candidates have

and are now going for their three-month elective.

“This far along in the program, the more likely the candidates are to be successful,” says Earnshaw. “If you’re not successful in

early.“There’s lots of good options lining up

here. But until those physicians success-fully complete the program, we would never give names or start dates.”

Three locums will be working with the Moosomin Family Practice Cen-tre from July until mid-January.

Bear and Gabrielle drafted to NHL

Continued from frontBear says his mind went blank when he

was called up for the Oilers.

morning, but I knew they had interest in me, and every time the team name came up, I was really hoping to hear my name. When they did call my name, I was pretty shocked. I think I blanked it out for a few seconds, and I hardly remember hugging my mom, I was too excited,” Bear says. “It was a cool experience, and it’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”

The best part of the moment for Bear was having his family’s support. His sis-ters, big brother, and parents were by his side in Florida.

“I remember I hugged my dad and he was patting me on the back, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so happy in my life. My mom was crying too, and it was the cutest thing ever,” Bear says.

His time for celebration was short how-ever, as immediately after the draft, Bear had to pack his bags again and head to Ed-monton for the start of the development camp.

“It’s been a hard working week, it’s a good chance to help yourself as a player to get better and stronger and learn ev-erything the development coaches have to teach,” Bear says. “Being in Edmonton, I get the chance to get a good feel of what the guys are like and what the feel is like around the room.”

In addition to the skills development, Bear says he is enjoying the team build-

Having the Oilers jersey on his back and being at the development camp, Bear says, has made him realize how close his NHL dream is.

“It opened my mind up of how close the NHL is and how hard I want to work for it. Actually getting drafted and actually com-ing here makes me want to play on this team and work even harder, it’s a really good thing for me,” he says. “I still have

work I put in for the combine and during my hockey season, I think it really helped me out and I’m happy for that—but this is only one step.”

For the summer, Bear will be coming home to Ochapowace Nation to be with family before heading to Regina for his summer hockey training. While back home, Bear knows he wants to give back to his fans, especially the young hockey players.

“I like having home support and know-ing they are there for me, because in the end, I want to give back and teach all those kids back home what I’m learning,” he says.

Bear will also have a chance to play his second favorite sport, softball, at the Sas-katchewan First Nation Summer Games which will be held at Ochapowace Nation from August 9 to 15.

Bud Holloway signed to Montreal Canadiens

BY JULIA DIMAWapella’s Bud Holloway is beginning a

new adventure in his hockey career after being signed last Wednesday to the Mon-treal Canadiens.

Holloway started his hockey career with the Seattle Thunderbirds. After being drafted by the LA Kings, He played two and a half seasons with the AHL’s Man-chester Monarchs, scoring 54 goals and 66 assists in his 191 games with them.

Deciding it was time for a change, Hol-loway packed his bags and headed for Skellefteå, Sweden, where he played with Skellefteå AIK in the Swedish Hockey League for three seasons, racking up 153 points, and becoming a hockey star, set-ting the all-time record for most goals

made a switch to play with SC Bern in Switzerland, part of the National League

assists.-

way’s signing rights, and on July 1, the contract ended, and the newly free agent decided it was a good opportunity to try to come back to North America and pur-sue an NHL career.

“I wanted to stay in North America this year, so I didn’t put my name out in Eu-rope, and I’ve been talking with my agent

free agency from L.A, so if there’s any year to try and get a shot, this was my best chance,” Holloway says. “We were talking to a few teams and yesterday morning, Montreal came up and said they were in-

that.”Holloway has signed a one-year two-

the Canadiens. Holloway, as a free agent, can be picked up by any NHL team if the Canadiens send him to the AHL team, the St. Johns IceCaps.

Holloway says he’s more focused on im-pressing at the training camp and show-ing he would be an asset on the Canadiens lineup.

“This is something I’ve obviously dreamed about for a long time, so to get the opportunity is good. The big thing now is obviously to show up and take ad-vantage of it. When you get a chance, you want to let them know why they gave you that chance, and impress when you get to camp,” he says.

Holloway says he knew he wanted to come back and play in North America, but is glad for his time spent overseas building a successful hockey career in Europe.

“You don’t really have a plan for where you want to go in hockey, because it’s kind of whatever opportunity there is, you jump at it,” he says. “Everyone has their own path—usually when people think of Europe, they think of it as the end of the hockey career when you can’t get anything

-

pretty happy with the route that I chose, I got to see a lot at the same time. It was a great experience every year I was over there—You learn so much, when you’re outside your own country or even your native tongue, it’s pretty fun.”

BY JULIA DIMAWater levels at Kenosee Lake are higher than they have

been since the early 1970s this summer, as years of in-

ral evaporation process to keep up with the rain levels.

Security Agency are not concerned that the community is

Patrick Boyle, with the Water Security Agency, says they have been monitoring Kenosee Lake this year, and for the past few years as water levels began to rise with increased precipitation.

“Kenosee Lake is located in a dead end basin, meaning it doesn’t drain anywhere naturally. So the lake is at the highest level it’s been since the 1970s, and has continued to rise for the last number of years from above normal pre-cipitation and even the high ground water has continued feeding to the lake so it pushes it up,” Boyle explains. “So, essentially what’s been happening is precipitation has out-paced the evaporation on the lake for the past few years.”

Boyle says that this year, a number of factors have con-tributed to the lake being even higher than in previous years. The heavy rainfall that hit the region last summer,

increased levels. Kenosee Lake is fed by a culvert that connects Little

Kenosee Lake to the larger basin. In 2010, after years

Water Resource Committee completed a project to help divert more water from the back country near Little Keno-see Lake into the smaller basin, and lower the connecting

project has contributed to the higher levels, and increased

the back country,” explains Larry Schiefner, acting direc-tor for southern operations for Parks, Culture, and Sport. “So, there were some restrictions with beaver dams and various roads put in place over time that were restricting

between little and big Kenosee. That would allow water

into big Kenosee.”For residents of the local area, the high water levels

have been a positive thing for them, increasing boating activity and park and village visitors.

“Now our lake has increased in size quite a bit, that is for sure,” says Wendy Greenbank, who owns Keno-

boats—we have pontoons, speed boats, wakeboard boats all over. It’s going to be a big lake but also a very busy lake, and it’s looking beautiful.”

Greenbank’s business is on the shoreline of the lake in Kenosee Village. She says she is not at all concerned about the water levels rising to the point where she may have to

over the past few years, it has had minor inconveniences in the community.

“The banks are pretty high here, and it has caused a lit-tle havoc with the shoreline, there’s shorelines that are not reachable for people to go out and put out their docks. But it’s a good problem, really—it’s important that we have that water there in the lake. With the beach, the sand itself is half the size it was probably last year, because the water is up that high, so it will make for a nice sandy bottom,” she says. “Some of the boaters were joking that if I got a longer hose on my gas pumps, pretty soon, they would be

Stuart Balfour, mayor of the village of Kenosee Lake, and owner of The Bar bar on the lakefront, says there have been a few inconveniences like having to move playgrounds back on the beach, but the village isn’t wor-rying about the water levels, because no cottages or prop-

“When the lake reaches its FSL (full supply level) which is 742.2 meters above sea level, we want to ensure that it’s able to release. So, that needs to cross through high-

that when it reaches FSL, it is able to discharge, and the natural route to is to White Bear, so we working with the reserve as well,” explains Schiefner. “We are a full meter from it reaching that discharge point. We are aware of it and we need to be prepared if it happens, so we are in that process now.”

Boyle says that as the Water Security Agency is moni-toring that possibility, it has no concerns yet.

“A meter is a huge amount of water. We are monitor-ing it right now, and with the forecast being fairly warm and dry, we are just looking at it, and there is some time if we do need to mobilize something,” he says. “But right now, that’s pretty far out, and it would have to take a ma-jor event for that to happen. High rainfall is what we are watching out for here, especially going into July, when we get most of our precipitation.”

In the meantime, residents say the water in the basins seems to have levelled out, and the high water is going to be good for the village and park this year.

“The culvert is levelled out now, it’s not pouring over like it was from little Kenosee over the past few years,” says Greenbank. “It’s looking good, and we are hoping for a naturally wonderful summer here.”

High lake levels not a concern at Kenosee

In recent months, news reports circulating across Saskatchewan have brought to our attention the alarming emergence of some new activist groups pro-moting a very biased and misinformed perspective about the risks and rewards of TransCanada’s pro-posed Energy East Pipeline Project.

My community—the town of Moosomin—has its own perspective about the Energy East Pipeline Project, a perspective that’s based on more than 50 years of working co-operatively with TransCanada, as a long standing neighbor to the pipelines that run through our province and the workers who operate and maintain those pipelines, many of whom also are landowners in our community.

Our perspective of the Energy East Pipeline Project is vastly at odds with the opinions that some opposi-tion groups are misleadingly presenting as facts.

from the Energy East Pipeline far outweigh the risks. More than that, we believe the greatest risk we face comes from the prospect of not building the Energy East Pipeline.

We support Energy East for some very important reasons:

• The Energy East Pipeline would reduce the use of ground transportation of crude oil on our roads and highways—enhancing safety, reducing the impacts on roads and easing the economic impact on our in-frastructure.

• Additionally, moving crude oil by pipeline is a safer alternative to transport by rail.

• The pipeline would also be a more environmen-tally favorable alternative to road and rail transporta-

tion, with substantially less emissions during trans-port.

• According to a recent independent third-party study from the Conference Board of Canada, Energy East will support more than 750 full-time direct and

alone. Additionally, municipalities and the Saskatch-ewan provincial government will see a $350 million boost in tax revenues during construction and the

• On a national scale the Energy East Pipeline will provide a secure long-term supply of oil to Eastern Canada. This would reduce Canada’s reliance on im-ported oil—which moves not by pipeline but by ma-

No matter which way you look at it—from an envi-ronmental perspective, safety perspective or an eco-nomic perspective, Energy East makes sense for my community and for Canada as a whole. That’s our perspective. And that’s why we support Energy East.

Ten years ago, 2005: New Fin-land’s celebration of Saskatch-ewan’s centennial was held in conjunction with the area’s an-nual Juhannus picnic—a tradition that has been going on for over 100 years. Hundreds of people at-tended, coming from as far away as Vancouver, Nebraska, and even Finland.

There is outrage in South Africa at this breach of the law, but there is also a belief in the rest of the continent (especially among national leaders) that the ICC is preju-diced against African countries. Is the ICC out of control or is it just trying to do its job?

President Jacob Zuma’s government had a serious public relations problem. In the past month South Africa has seen a great deal of xenophobic violence against il-legal immigrants and their property. It’s embarrassing for Zuma, and clearly contrary to the spirit of African solidar-ity, so he felt that he couldn’t let an African head of state

Zuma had to sneak Bashir out of the country because South Africa’s High Court is still independent and it was about to rule that Bashir must be handed over to the ICC for trial. Indeed, Judge Dunstan Mlambo did rule exactly that —“The government’s failure to arrest Bashir is incon-sistent with the Constitution”—only hours after Bashir

Well, obviously. Since South Africa is one of the 123 countries that signed up to the ICC, it is legally obliged to enforce its arrest warrants. Some other African coun-

was moved from Malawi after the government refused to let Bashir attend, and in 2013 the Sudanese president had to leave Nigeria earlier than planned after a rights group

went to court to compel the authorities to arrest him.But most African governments now ignore ICC rul-

ings because, they claim, the court only targets African criminals—and it’s true that all the arrest warrants now in force are for Africans. This understandably causes deep suspicions in the African continent.

The wounds of colonialism are still raw, and it just feels wrong. But which of these people would you want to drop from the list?

Joseph Kony, the self-proclaimed prophet whose Lord’s Resistance Army murdered tens of thousands of innocent

Jean-Pierre Bemba, a former Congolese rebel leader who is on trial for crimes against humanity and war crimes over alleged cases of murder, rape and pillage in the Central African Republic in 2002 and 2003?

Or Ivory Coast’s former President Laurent Gbagbo, who faces four charges of crimes against humanity—mur-der, rape and other forms of sexual violence, persecution and “other inhuman acts”—in the violence that followed disputed elections in 2010?

None of these men are being lynched. They have just been summoned to face a trial, with all the legal rights they are accused of denying to others. And, in most cases, the prosecution have been undertaken with the support of the relevant African country.

African countries dominate the list for two reasons. One is that more than half the world’s wars are in Africa. The other is that African countries, so vulnerable to vio-lence, have a strong interest in establishing the rule of law, and most African lawyers and senior civil servants under-stand that.

They are often thwarted by their presidents and prime ministers, who belong to a very exclusive club. African leaders are as prone as any other interest group to try to exempt themselves from rules that hold them legally re-sponsible for their actions. The ICC has also made mis-takes, like bringing cases against senior politicians when there was no realistic chance of getting the evidence

in Kenya).But even if it fails much of the time, the ICC is a worth-

world that is ruled by law, not by force, even if that goal is still a century in the future—and, in the meantime, it occa-sionally gives the victims justice right here in the present.

Horseback ride raising awareness about Canada’s veteransBY JULIA DIMA

In April 2014, Paul Nichols, along with his family, a small support group, and his

horseback ride. Leaving jobs, homes, and everything else behind, Nichols has set out on a mission to change the way Canadians think about veterans.

“The idea is to change the face of Canadian veterans and to really shine the light on the contemporary face of our Canadian veterans,” Nichols says. “How we are choosing to do that is using our horses—including as many veterans as we can, we’re going to put them in the saddle, my wife, Terry is a therapeutic riding instructor, so we’re using veterans groups, social media,

Then Terry puts them through a quick riding lesson to make them safe, and they come and join me as we ride through their own communities.”

Nichols left his home town of Quesnel, British Columbia to get the journey started in Victoria. Since then, he has traveled through British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, reaching Virden on Canada Day. Since he started, Nichols has had 150 veterans and active serving members of the military join him on the horseback ride, and he will have 700 people join him by the time he reaches the end of the journey in St. Johns, Newfoundland. During the ride, the veterans join Nichols for the ride into their home communities.

“The idea is that we create some discussion, and awareness so people recognize that the guy renting their car, or the nurse in their hospital, or the kid that used to be their paper boy—that these are our veterans, they are not strictly the old boys of the world wars—we have had three generations of veterans since World War Two,” he says. “Once we reintroduce the Canadian people to their veterans, we’ll be better prepared to deal with post traumatic stress disorder, operational stress injuries, and veterans suicide . . . I think we know the Canadian people love their troops, but we sometimes forget who they are.”

Nichols is a veteran, serving in Bosnia

hand the struggles of reintegrating into society when he returned to Canada.

“I came home to a community that only thought of veterans as World War Two veterans. I lost my way, and I think that’s a pretty common thing—you question your own service, you question the hard work,

kans. So you really do question the worth

woman in a shop in Vancouver that recognized the regimental crest on my jacket, and it turns out that she was a survivor of the Siege of Sarajevo, and it was the Canadian troops that got her out. She thanked me for my service and it was true and it came from the heart—that was a turning point for me and it changed my life.”

Nichols hopes that engaging veterans and giving the opportunity to speak up and share their stories will help those who feel isolated and slip through the cracks when they return home from serving.

“The military is a close family, it’s a brotherhood that is tested and forged, and when you leave that, it makes a hole, and you feel pretty alone, so when these guys come and ride with me and they tell and hear the stories, they realize that the troubles they are having, they are not alone in,” Nichols says.

Horses have been a large part of Nichols’

story. His horses helped him get through his own struggles of coming back from war.

“When I left the military, and we moved back to Quesnel, I kind of lost my way for a couple of years, and I struggled, I really did. I started to spend a lot of time alone with my horse, and sometimes if you want your horse to move forward and they are not going to go, you have to change how you ask. And then maybe it’s still not working, so you have to start looking inward. For me, I didn’t like what I was seeing when I looked inward, and I had to start making some changes, and all of a sudden my horse was better, and then I was getting along better with my wife and kids—horses are amazing creatures that way,” Nichols says.

In getting veterans onto horses, Nichols hopes that they can also look inward and heal. He says so far, he’s seen it work, and has watched veterans who join him on the ride change as they interact with the horses.

Along the journey, Nichols is raising as much as he can for veteran groups and therapy services, including equine therapy, service dogs, and animal therapy to assist with post traumatic stress disorder. Nichols says the plan is to get the funds into as many local community services as possible,

since he would like to see the funds go directly into the communities where veterans live.

Last week, Nichols was in the area, where the Wawota Legion hosted his group for a luncheon, and he had a chance to meet with veterans of all ages. The next day, he

on his ride by Crystal Veysey, who is from

poral in the Canadian Military. Veysey joined the ride because she wants people to know about their community members who serve.

“It’s just really important to bring awareness to communities about how people who leave the military reintegrate into communities,” Veysey says. “As a member who at some point will have to reintegrate into a community, it’s important to bring awareness to that.”

When Veysey received her horseback riding lesson from Terry Nichols before the

horse in 20 years. She rode with Nichols for

“The ride was very peaceful and quiet and it’s more just enjoying nature almost,

going along, your focus is on your horse,” she says. “We are busy in our lives and we want to hurry up and go, but you can only go as fast as that horse is going to go, and you have to be very patient and listen to your horse.”

Veysey says she can see the experience being therapeutic for veterans, and hopes that the awareness raised through the ride will help those veterans who are in need of therapy to reintegrate.

“Being in the military, there is all sorts of sources to help members, but sometimes, they can get lost—I’ve heard stories from friends who don’t know where to turn to get those services when they get released. We need to bring awareness that they may

something wrong—more awareness and sensitivity for veterans,” she says. “The ride is going to bring a lot of awareness to the struggles that retired members have, hopefully.”

Nichols is continuing his journey east, and will be at CFB Shilo today.

The day started with a pancake breakfast followed by a parade going through downtown Elkhorn and ending at the Museum grounds, where there were activities for the rest of the day, including a threshing machine display, bounce tents and rides for kids, live music, lunch and a strawberry social.

Above from left: Kids run toward the parade fl oat to collect candy and freezies tossed from parade participants. The Antique Automobile Museum was bustling with activity, as seen from this aerial im-age. Elkhorn’s Bill Mulligan had his large John Deere tractor collection featured in the parade.

Provincial Archery Shoot coming up this weekend at Moosomin Lake

BY JULIA DIMA The Saskatchewan Archery Associa-

tion’s provincial archery shoot is being hosted once again this year by the Fleming Archery Club at Moosomin Lake. While it

the province, the Fleming Club says they are happy to host again.

“Last year was learn-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, now we sort of know what we need to do,” says Joe St. Onge with the club. “ Normally, we have a regular shoot every year, and we are hosting provincials now, so it’s a little more work—more peo-ple show up, so there’s online registration going, and a lot more in general.”

The Archery shoot will bring archers from across the province, and last year’s event attracted over 80 people. It is an open competition welcome to archers of all ages and skill levels, but for serious Saskatchewan archers who would like to go on to compete in the National 3D Ar-chery Championships, they have to com-pete at the provincial shoot.

There will be medals provided by the Saskatchewan Archery Association, as well as door prizes.

During the two-day shoot, each day

course, set up within the walking trails at Moosomin Lake Regional Park. St. Onge

“Sometimes shoots are just held in a back pasture, and you have to cut trails and make paths whereas everything is done here and it’s just a nice layout al-ready,” he says.

There will be a lunch held on each day for competitors, but anyone is welcome to come to the lunches. On Saturday evening, the Saskatchewan Archery Association also holds its AGM at the shoot.

Being a 3D archery shoot, provincials will feature the unique and peculiar shoot-ing targets that the Fleming Archery Club has, including giant cobras and a t-rex. There are also deer, elk, and other animal targets in addition to the more unique tar-gets.

There will be a shotgun start at 10 a.m. on Saturday and 9:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Spectators are welcome to come to the shoot, and venture into the trails to watch archers shooting, accompanied by a mem-ber of the archery club.

“Anybody is welcome to come out to the shoot and see what it is all about,” St. Onge says.

the U14 team was also playing in a tournament that featured teams from Moosomin, Kipling, Oxbow, Melville, Roblin, and Brandon. Bran-don beat the Oxbow team in the A side fi nal, Melville beat Roblin in the B fi nal, and Kipling beat Moosomin in the C fi nal.

Funds for elementary schoolLast week, the Moosomin Conexus Credit

Union hosted a barbecue to raise funds for MacLeod Elementary. Here, Celina Boardman presents the cheque for the funds raised at the barbecue—$800—to MacLeod Elementary’s Principal Carolyn St. Onge.

Smoky skiesMassive wildfires in Northern Saskatchewan are causing heavy smoke to blanket most of the

province. On Monday of last week, the heavy smoke prompted Environment Canada to issue air quality statements across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The smoke was impacting the province from Uranium City all the way to Oxbow, and those with respiratory conditions were advised to stay inside. Above, on Monday afternoon, the Viterra Grain Terminal at Fairlight was barely visible from Highway 8 through the smoke in the air.

The Rocanville School’s graduation cer-emony was held on Saturday, June 27.

The guest speaker for Rocanville’s grad-uation was Jennifer Kingdon.

“When the grads asked me if I would be their guest speaker, I was honored,” she said. “I asked them, ‘Are you sure you want me to speak? I’m more of a writing person.’ They were sure that I’ve tortured them enough over the years with public speaking that it was time for some pay-back. Maybe they didn’t realize that giv-ing me the mic might be dangerous con-sidering how many times I’ve had to yell

room. They have also reminded me that ‘Brevity is the soul of wit,’ so I will try not to take up too much of your time.

“Through the years, I have taught these folks a variety of subjects and they have hopefully learned a thing or two from me, but tonight I would like to tell you about some of the things I have learned from them.

“I have learned that, even though what we do in the classroom is important, some

of the best learning happens outside of it. Weeks spent at Agribition or provincial sports events or driving tractor instead of sitting in the classroom have helped to

-tent adults that I see here today.

“I have learned that, despite the myri-ad adjectives I throw at you, some of you seem to always like to revert back to your favorite four letter one and even manage to stretch it to include every part of speech known to man. It is usually followed by a sheepish, ‘Sorry Mrs. Kingdon’ or a ‘No! I didn’t even know I said it!’ You win some; you lose some.

“I have learned that when kids face ad-versity, they are incredibly resilient. Many of you have dealt with many trying situa-tions in your short lives, but instead of let-ting your tribulations get the better of you, you deal with change and loss with grace and courage, sticking to your goals, work-ing towards your dreams, and providing support to those close to you.

“I have learned that new ways to apply old knowledge can be found in the oddest

places. “I will miss working with this remark-

able group of people every day.

you trekked down to the high school end and stepped across la ligne magique into

12 when you were more reluctant to leave than you ever anticipated, I have loved working with you. You are stepping out

adults. I see ahead of you prosperous and happy futures. Just don’t forget to stop back for a visit every now and then.”

The valedictorians were Jade Belhumeur and Daniel Reid.

“Welcome parents, teachers, friends, family and, of course, classmates,” they said. “A huge thanks goes out to each one of you because if we didn’t have you helping us along the way we would still be peeing under the play structure, eating sand and stuck at a Dr. Seuss reading lev-el. We are truly honored to be before you today as we say goodbye to our childhood and start corrupting your society.

“In front of you sit future welders, nurses, farmers, pipeliners, accountants, engineers, mechanics, cow scientists and so much more. This is Rocanville School’s class of 2015.

our best school years and we all bonded more than we ever have before. Must be that realization that this is it, this is the last year with you crazies and we made the most of it.

“We really are a very unique class and though all the stress and annoyances we caused, the teachers might actually miss us. Just give it a couple years while they regain their sanity. The parents will miss us too, miss making lunches, miss picking us up from parties and miss getting after us about homework. Maybe give that a lit-tle bit of time too. Most of all we are going

annoy and slightly bully each other we’ll look back and miss the messed up times we’ve had together. So big congrats to our teachers and parents for getting us here and a bigger congrats to ourselves!”

Wilkie Field play structure goes upLast Friday, volunteers gathered at Wilkie Field in Rocanville to start assembling the

pieces and preparing the area for the new play structure. Last year, a committee started to fundraise to replace the old play structure at Wilkie Field. They raised over $25,000 for the new structure.

We watch the sky because there’s so much of it to watch but also because the sky says something about the basics of life: work, rest, heat, cold, dry, wet, wind, calm. Right now, all through the prai-ries, we’re watching the sky for signs of badly needed moisture. But we revel in the heat as well. Praying and hoping for

rain doesn’t mean we don’t want the heat – with so much winter, bring on the heat! Warm temperatures, outdoor living, lake sports, barbecues and welcoming compa-ny all call for quality wines, liqueurs and spirits. Here are some of my favourites and why.

GORU EL BLANCO -MOSCATEL AND CHARDONNAY 2014Spain This brand new wine to Saskatchewan is already making white wine drinkers out of die-hard red wine fans. I did a public sampling the other day and one person walked out with a case of GoRu after trying a 2 oz sample. One restaurant put this on their wine list and now reference it as the Go To GoRu! Speaking of heat, these grapes are grown in an incredibly summer-hot southern Spain so the winemak-ers capture something of the stunning tropical nose of the Moscatel grapes and fresh fullness of the Chardonnay grapes by harvesting at night. The results are simply dreamy: on the nose, you don’t know whether to dab it behind your ears or drink it! In the mouth, you get this bursting fresh ripe grapefruit-

to wine for sipping, drinking with delicate salads, chicken and fresh garden vegetables .ID# 21628 $15.73

ArgentinaWe connect Argentina with Malbecs. Wine-maker, Victoria Pons, is helping us see that Ar-gentina is about Cabernet Sauvignons as well. Forget California Cab Savs at twice the price. From Melipal’s single estate (no outsourced grapes) comes this organically grown, deli-ciously rounded and full red wine with a long,

with grilled/roasted/smoked red meats, aged and cream cheeses, thyme and oregano-rich dishes……and more.ID# 20681 $19.99

School’s out! There is a sense of relief when summer

to unwind is important but it doesn’t have to be at the ex-pense of your health. Learn how to be smart this summer so that you don’t disappoint yourself when you step on the scale this fall:

• Maintain a sleep schedule. It is easy to stay up later when the days are longer in the summer. Ensure you are still getting at least 7-8 good quality hours of sleep every night on a regular schedule.

• Explore your local farmers’ markets while fruit and vegetables are in season. This is the freshest our produce will taste all year. A common mistake is not choosing a

apples and bananas every time you go grocery shopping. • Use the outdoors to exercise. The world is an exercise

playground. Move your stretches and core work outside on a towel on a soft chunk of grass. Breathing in the fresh air will leave you even more relaxed (when there isn’t an air quality warning, of course). Use a bench or picnic table for step ups, tricep dips, push ups, squats and more. Rocks and logs can also be used to add weight to squats or walking lunges.

• Drink more water. Under normal environmental conditions, an average adult male and female should con-sume 3.7L and 2.7L, respectively, per day. These values in-crease substantially while exercising outdoors or in warm conditions.

• Ease up on the hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream. Other than at the hockey rink in the winter, we consume these three items triple-time in the summer compared to the rest of the year. Consider the nutrition facts for a SMALL Oreo Blizzard from DQ: 620 calories, 23 grams of fat and 67 grams of sugar (taken from www.dairyqueen.

com). Having an occasional treat is only human, but keep in mind where your body stores these extra fat calories… your abdominal area! There are lots of neat frozen yogurt recipes out there for alternatives. Instead of hot dogs and hamburgers, put some chicken in a tinfoil pan with a light salad dressing, cover with tinfoil and put on the barbeque on low for 45 minutes. Very easy, healthy and delicious!
