Over 36 years of Experience in the Business!

By Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

A spike in methamphetamine use has led to an in-crease in rural crime in the area, making for a busy few weeks for RCMP officers as they attempt to track down suspects.

“We’ve been quite busy … ,” said Staff Sgt. Jeff Comeau with the Melville-Ituna detachment. “We’ve been playing a lot of cat and mouse.”

There have been several cases of suspected thefts of vehicles and property between Melville and York-ton in the last month, he explained. On Sept. 20, officers responded to a complaint about a suspicious vehicle driving through rural areas possibly stealing fuel.

At one point, according to witnesses, two RCMP cruisers sped down Third Avenue West before turn-ing around and gunning it down Third Avenue East.

Comeau explained they were receiving information about where the vehicle might be and were attempt-ing to narrow down the locations; however, they were

unsuccessful in finding the suspicious white Ford du-ally pickup truck.

Its driver has been swapping licence plates. RCMP believes the truck has left the area, but could return.

Officers received a complaint about this vehicle driving erratically through a construction zone along Highway 10 south, Comeau confirmed. Witnesses say the vehicle drove though at high speeds and nearly hit one of the workmen. Comeau confirmed the worker wasn’t hit but was rattled.

Happening at the same time on Sept. 20, other of-ficers were arresting three people — a woman and two men — in connection with possession of stolen property and drug charges.

All three will appear in Melville provincial court in October. Comeau noted these thefts — especially credit cards — are solely related to obtaining money to buy drugs.

An area resident called police to report suspicious activity with a stolen credit card, which enabled RCMP to locate and arrest the alleged criminals.

Comeau doesn’t believe the suspicious vehicle and arrest of the three adults are directly related, but could be related indirectly since the suspects might operate in the same social circles.

According to a Facebook post by area resident Greg Hahn, one or more thieves stole his Milwau-kee-brand fencing tools, along with his wallet, cash, bank cards, credit cards and cheques, all for Kondel Hahn Fencing. This is alleged to have occurred on Sept. 19.

“I suspect (the thefts) are all related to the vehicle we weren’t able to locate, but it’s hard to say,” Comeausaid. “Those items (of Hahn’s) were not recovered in the vehicle of the people we arrested. But it doesn’t mean they weren’t responsible.”

Area resident Brent Hahn, who lives near Mel-ville, also posted to Facebook to say about 50 of his hay bales were stolen in early September.

The theft of the hay bales was initially reported

Spike in meth use leads to increase in rural crime

Rail station nownational historic siteBy George A. BrownGrasslands News

Melville residents and rail passen-gers who have disembarked here have known for generations how important the rail station has been in the develop-ment of the city, as an employer and as a portal into Western Canada.

Now all Canadians can share in that knowledge.

Parks Canada officially welcomed the Melville Railway Station into the Canadian family of commemorated places. A plaque was unveiled Sept. 25 to official proclaim the station a national historic site, one of only 47 in Saskatchewan.

With the threat of rainy weather, the ceremony was held in the city hall Opera House instead of at the station, which has undergone extensive exterior renovations. Mayor Walter Streelasky observed that the backdrop of the Ti-tanic’s grand staircase in the hall was most fitting as Charles Melville Hays, who gave his name to the town site created here, was president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTPR), and died when the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage in 1912.

Dr. Jim Miller, the Historic Sites

and Monuments Board of Canada representative for Saskatchewan, cel-ebrated the national historic signifi-cance of the Melville Railway Station with the unveiling of a plaque.

“The Melville Railway Station wasbuilt in 1908 during a peak period of railway expansion that lasted from 1900 to 1914. At the turn of the 20th century, Canadian Pacific Railway’s monopoly in the West was challenged by the creation of two new rail com-panies: Canadian Northern and the GTPR. The existence of three compet-ing companies caused a boom in rail-way development, as each built new competing rail lines through the West,” Miller told a group of about 70 peoplewho attended the dedication ceremony.

When building stations, the GTPR typically relied on a small number of standardized station plans. For Mel-ville, a major station on the line, thecompany chose a more distinctive de-sign: a rectangular two-storey wooden structure, featuring twin gables, a high, hipped roof, and dormers. The building’s design, unique in Saskatch-ewan and the only one of its kind in Canada, illustrates the quality of the

Smile Cookies support schools’ food programsBy Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

Boxes of Tim Hortons Smile Cookies filled a table in the Melville Compre-hensive School cafeteria, as students and staff attempted to sell hundreds of cookies to support the school’s break-fast and lunch programs.

Every year Tim Hortons franchises sell Smile Cookies to support commu-nity charities. This year, the Melville franchise selected the Melville and Dis-trict Food Bank as the recipient of the sale’s proceeds.

In turn, the food bank is using the money to support the breakfast and lunch programs at schools in Melville and area.

There were 20 dozen cookies deliv-ered to Lemberg for sale on Sept. 21, said Colleen Gorecki, food bank presi-dent, while helping sell cookies at MCS with the school’s Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) chapter.

She brought 30 dozen tasty morsels to MCS, while another 20 dozen were for sale at the Cobras’ football trade show at Melville Community Works on Sept. 22.

“We’ve sold 2,000 cookies so far,” Gorecki said. “Tims makes them. We get the whole dollar that people pay. So that was our thing, was to sell as many as we can.”

Gorecki was thrilled that the Mel-ville Tim Hortons selected the food bank to sell the cookies. Owner Jack Needham told her he knew they could sell plenty of Smile Cookies on behalf of his company.

Gorecki realizes that the number of students who use the breakfast and lunch programs in the area fluctuates, but doesn’t ask how many since that’s personal to each school. She simply supports a school when a principal calls her.

Having worked with MCS’s SADD chapter before, Gorecki approached co-advisor Sharon Roach to see if she

would be interested in selling the cook-ies together. Roach wholeheartedly agreed.

“I’m really happy that our SADD chapter can participate,” said Roach, noting the project came about quickly; Gorecki approached her two days be-fore to see if they could work together. “I think it’s a great idea.

“We thought this could be another effort to support them,” Roach contin-ued, “and this gets us recognition be-cause people see us and they know that we’re the SADD chapter. Even though the money isn’t going to us, it’s still awareness that we’re also a non-profit organization and we’re happy to volun-teer.”

Students were excited that Smile Cookies were being sold, said Roach, especially since there have been no caf-eteria services this year. The kids were excited to finally buy something in the cafeteria.

As a teacher, Roach knows some stu-dents come to class hungry since they didn’t have breakfast or lunch. This could be because they missed breakfast in the morning or didn’t bring anything to school for lunch.

“If their bodies are nourished, they can use a different part of their body — their mind — to focus on their ac-ademics,” she said. “Whereas, if their stomach’s growling the whole period, they’re probably not too interested in the chemical equations we’re balanc-ing.”Big money, big money

Prairie Co-op makes top 100 in Sask.Submitted

SaskBusiness Mag-azine has named Mel-ville’s Prairie Co-op as one of the top com-panies in the province, as part of the magazine’s top 100 companies in 2018 profile.

Prairie Co-op is one of 21 commu-nity Co-ops included in the magazine’s rankings list this year. Melville was ranked 63rd — the same position as last year — ahead of such communi-ties as Yorkton, Melfort, Moosomin and Tisdale.

“It’s a real positive tribute to our staff in the service and commitment they’re providing to our membership and customers, so it’s a good accom-plishment,” Chris Paradis, general manager of Melville Prairie Co-opera-tive Limited, told the Melville Advance.

Prairie Co-op is meeting the needs of its customers in the communities it serves with the products and services it offers, added Paradis. The company continues to grow and provide good service to members. It doesn’t have any projects planned for Melville in the short-term.

Those 21 co-op companies are joined on the list by Saskatoon-based Fed-erated Co-operatives Limited, which placed second. Combined, FCL and these retail co-ops saw sales of almost $12.4 billion in 2017, according to an FCL news release. That number in-cludes $9.8 billion in revenue — with $575 million in net earnings — re-corded by FCL.

“Co-op is a diverse and resilient net-work of locally owned organizations

that continue to answer challenges, create op-

portunities and deliver important goods and services, just as they

have done for genera-tions,” said Scott Banda, FCL

CEO.“This success is the product of strong

relationships with Co-op members and customers, the commitment of employ-ees to their communities and the sig-nificant investments local retail co-ops are making to position themselves for the future — meaningful activites that will generated long-term benefits in Saskatchewan and throughout all of Western Canada.”

There are 99 community Co-ops in Saskatchewan operating food stores, home centres, gas bars, commercial cardlock centres, agro centres, and li-quor outlets. This network is supported by the wholesale, manufacturing, mar-keting and administrative operations of FCL, which includes the Co-op Re-finery Complex in Regina.

FCL and the community Co-ops em-ploy nearly 10,000 people in Saskatch-ewan. In the last five years, numerous investments have been made to benefit these communities, such as:• $395 million returned to Co-op mem-bers and customers in the form of patron-age dividends• $467 million invested by Co-ops in new, upgraded or expanded buildings • $3.5 billion invested in capital projects across Western Canada by FCL, includ-ing fertilizer terminals, petroleum man-ufacturing and distribution systems, and upgrades to the refinery in Regina.

No details confirmed for Melville’s pot businessBy Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

There has been a flurry of activity throughout Canada in preparation for the legalization of cannabis on Oct. 17, but little buzz in Melville about where or when you can buy legal marijuana.

Individuals who are at least 19 years old will be able to grow up to four mar-ijuana plants for their personal use, but there is still no word about where the cannabis retail outlet will be in Melville, or what products will be sold in any of the province’s 51 cannabis stores.

There are about 80 strains of pot available in five formats: buds, seeds, pre-rolled joints, oil, and gel caps.

Tweed Grasslands, a subsidiary of Ontario-based Canopy Growth, has been licensed to sell cannabis in Fort Qu’Appelle and Melville, but the com-pany has been tight-lipped about its plans.

City administration spoke with rep-resentatives from the company in the summer when council was working

on making amendments to the zoning bylaw, explained city manager Audrey Ulmer.

City officials informed the company reps when the amendments would be made, while the reps wanted to know where they would be able to fit into the proper zoning regulations.

Tweed Grasslands has not applied for a business licence yet.

“I don’t have a clue where (the busi-ness) will end up,” Ulmer said. “They are not in a rush … they want to do it right. I assume they continue to search for a place.”

Repeated calls from Grasslands News to Tweed’s head office in Smiths Falls, Ont., have gone unanswered. Andrew Maccorquodale, Tweed’s head of operations for Western Canada, has similarly made himself unavailable.

In an email to Grasslands News, Tweed Grasslands says it is still work-ing on its licensing agreements to sell cannibis in Saskatchewan. It appears no date has been set as to when or where the Ontario-based international

company will open retail outlets in Fort Qu’Appelle and in Melville.

“I understand the need to be trans-parent with our local communities - we have always prioritized this,” Caitlin O’Hara, communications specialist with Canopy Growth, replied in an email to inquiries from Grasslands News.

“That said, if conversations are still ongoing in the province, I would prefer to wait until I have reliable and con-firmed information to share with the local community. It would not be fair of me to provide your readers with inac-curate details.”

O’Hara also pointed out that in addition to its obligations in Fort Qu’Appelle and Melville, Tweed’s first priority is to its “thousands of investors and shareholders, some of whom who have committed their life savings to our company.”

O’Hara said the company has been receiving requests for interviews from all over the world. While she has ar-ranged for Andrew MacCorquodale, the head of local operations, to be inter-viewed by CNN, CNBC, and The Globe and Mail, “It would be irresponsible to share information (with the Times and The Advance) that is not final and stillin progress.”

Melville is one of 40 Saskatchewancommunities that received a retail permit to sell marijuana, as part of the provincial government’s plan to address the legalization of cannabis, which happens Oct. 17.

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gam-ing Authority (SLGA) issued 60 canna-bis retail permits to private operators in Saskatchewan communities with at least 2,500 people. Larger communities such as Regina and Saskatoon receivedadditional permits.

meth use leads to rural crimeto Yorkton rural RCMP before being sent to the Melville detachment, said Co-meau.

“I can’t make that leap that there’s any connection between these two,” he continued. “But there’s increased meth users (and) stuff going on right now, where there seems to be a spike in meth. I can tell what follows that, is an increase in theft.”

Most rural thefts occur because property and vehicles are unsecured and unlocked, making them crimes of opportunity, Comeau said.

“I’m not trying to crucify victims here, I’m just saying that it does make it a little bit easier to be a victim of

these types of crimes when … the keys are in the ignition or the glove box,” he added. The time of keeping one’s doors unlocked on the farm are history.

All of these incidents are a good reason why Rural Crime Watch needs to happen, Comeau said. The use of WhatsApp would make communicating thefts easier to police.

Comeau reminds area residents to call RCMP to report suspicious ve-hicles, but don’t chase them. It is ac-ceptable to follow from a safe distance while reporting the whereabouts to RCMP dispatch.

Anyone with information should call Melville RCMP at 306-728-1700.

“It is dangerous tobe right when the

government is wrong.” Voltaire

Thank you farmersWhy would anyone

want to be a farmer?That’s the question

that crossed my mind as we prepared the Salute to Agriculture section for the paper this week. It’s the first day of fall and the ground is covered with white, heavy snow, followed by rain — and a bit more rain. And this is harvest season!

The comment of the day in rural communi-ties is, “Did you get your harvest done?”

So many things in-fluence this occupation. Why would anyone work where it’s a gamble what your take home pay may be — and who can wait a whole year for their pay cheque to be determined?

Why would anyone work eight or 12 or 14 hours a day, driving a piece of machinery round and round in a field that has the same scenery on every pass?

Why would anyone get excited about putting seeds into the ground, waiting patiently to see how even, how high and how thick they will grow — just so they can spend more money spraying the weeds to keep them growing, and then spend more money to cut these plants down and at the same time probably not knowing what price you will get when you sell them?

The answer to these questions is pretty obvi-ous if you take the time to spend a day in the life of a farmer. Who else can get up at the crack of dawn to see the beautiful sunrise shedding the new day’s light on the acres and acres of seeds that may be planted, growing or that are ready for har-vest?

Who else can drive equipment around these acres and know they are planting a crop that may bring you some wealth if the weatherman and Mother Nature co-oper-ate? Or will it bring you just enough to survive on for another year?

It may be the season

of new excitement when you smell the fresh soil in spring, or it may be the season of harvest when you breathe in the dust from the combine as you check the bushels of product that you grew on your land.

Have you ever expe-rienced the smile on a farmer’s face when he makes the pass across the field to see just how many bushels per acre he has grown? Or have you seen the worry and even the tears in the farmer’s eyes when crops have been destroyed by weather, fire, disease or animals?

What about the joy on the children’s faces as they get to ride in the combine to help out mom or dad? Or the joy on the cook’s face when the workers devour the meal in the field with their dirty, greasy hands? How about the many hours of solitude that provides time to watch Mother Nature through all the different seasons as the farmer tends to his fields?

Farming is an occu-pation that cannot be grouped with any other. It takes knowledge of input, knowledge for growth, and knowledge to take the crop off. You must be a scientist, a weatherman, a repair-man and a banker to name just a few of the skills needed.

Why would anyone want to be a farmer? I’m not a farmer, so I can’t answer that question. But I do know that there isn’t a person, who, like a farmer, who can go to bed dead tired from their day’s work after watch-ing the sun set on the horizon of their fields and awake to a new day with determination to do what needs to be done to feed their family — and to feed the world. They have often no co-workers to relieve their respon-sibilities. They are the business and they are darn proud of the job they must do.

I salute each and every farmer and rancher who shows the desire, and the determination, and who often share the good life of farming with others in this world of modern technology, fast-paced living and pressures.

It’s not always a good life being a farmer, but without the farmer, many of us would not have the benefits derived from their efforts that we share in our communi-ties and our world.

I’m glad some want to be farmers!

Pro-residential school ad a sad affairIt’s irritating that pol-

iticians or third party groups think people can be easily manipulated. About the only thing as irritating is that there will always be a few peo-ple — not matter where they live — who will let themselves be manipu-lated by hearing only what they want to hear.

These thoughts cross one’s mind in the wake of the controversy over the Winnipeg-based Frontier Centre for Pubic Policy’s short-lived paid advertisements on rural radio stations on the “myth” that Indian resi-dential schools were a bad experience for every stu-dent that attended.

Most of you will quickly recognize the two-part na-ture of this one-sided assessment.

Obviously, not every First Nation person who went through residential schools was affected in the same way. Some will acknowledge they did get a quality education. One might venture as far in assessing the ads to say that because the residential school ex-perience was limited to a smaller percentage of the Aboriginal population, it can’t be solely attributed to every issue experienced by First Nations person today.

But what right does anyone have to call their dev-astating impact a “myth”?

The fact is that there were substantial examples of physical and sexual abuse — among the worst, oc-curred in this province involving Anglican Gordon Reserve School director William Penniston Starr, who was criminally convicted of vial acts.

There is simply no question that this single indi-vidual had a profound affect on not only on his vic-tims, but also that the entire Gordon First Nations population has dealt with pain and hurt in their com-munity for generations. In turn, this actually defined relations between the First Nation and nearby com-munity of Punnichy for decades.

Not all residential school students faced such spe-cific sexual abuses, but plenty of them faced physical

abuse at the hands of supposed religious teachers. This also had a profound effect on them, their rela-tionship with the white community, and their long-term ability to successfully parent.

It is a fact verified by their graves that many hun-dreds of these children died in the care of schools. It is also a fact that they were denied their religion and culture and even the right to speak their languages. Against their will and the will of their families, they were removed from their homes for long stretches.

It is a fact that some of these children died while trying to get home see their families and that fami-lies and others on reserves would try and hide these children.

Chalk it up the values and norms of the day, but that does not excuse the problems passed on from generation to generation. Nor does it make the long-term repercussions any less lasting.

So for the Frontier Centre to ask whether Canadi-ans are “being told the whole truth about residential schools” begs the question: Was the right-wing think tank choosing to tell the whole story? One can only speculate.

The advertisement was said to be promotion for article that their website entitled, “Myth versus Evi-dence: Your Choice.” The piece was authored by Mark DeWolf, who says he was a non-Indigenous residen-tial school student.

After the controversy erupted, the article was re-moved from the Frontier Centre website.

Well-known radio voice, Roger Currie, who voiced the two-minute-long advertisement, denounced the content, saying it “certainly doesn’t represent my views.” And the radio station chain pulled ads.

But, again, why was this notion being promoted in the first place?

That they seemed specifically aimed at a rural au-dience strongly suggests they were designed to pro-mote this view at a time of considerably racial tension in rural Saskatchewan.

The ads likely didn’t work on most people.But it’s sad the Frontier Centre would try — and

that maybe it did work on a few people.

Student leaders encouraged to persevere during conferenceBy Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

Don’t give up, and believe that you can do big things were two messages Saskatchewan high school students heard recently during a provincial leader-ship conference.

Langenburg Central School played host to this year’s Saskatchewan Student Leadership Conference, from Sept. 19 to 21. There was a distinct 1980s-in-spired vibe to the conference, including with the rock and roll dance and in the conference’s theme: Don’t Stop Believing.

The main speakers were Olympic gold medallist — and Amazing Race host — Jon Montgomery, country music award winner Jess Moskaluke and anti-human

École St. Henry’s Senior School

Charly Brooks and Jaclyn Burak attended a leader-ship conference. Both thought it was fun and a good experience; four students overall attended.

Burak, in Grade 8, enjoyed hanging out with older

students and being able to communicate with them easily.

Brooks, in Grade 9, thought it was great that all the students were excited to be there and were pas-sionate about being on their school leadership team. Since all the students are leaders, they were respon-sible for themselves and required little leading.

The rock dance was exciting because everyone danced and no one stood around, said Burak. She believes none of the students was afraid to be em-barrassed for how they danced. In comparison, many students who attend dances at the senior school act

“We were all having a really good time,” added Brooks.

That dance provided the two students with ideas of how they could run future dances at the school.

Burak and Brooks enjoyed hearing from Montgom-ery, who told the students he was terrible at many of the sports he attempted, but never gave up and persevered, a message he instilled in the students.

“Just because you come from the small town of Melville doesn’t mean you can’t do big things,” said Brooks.

She enjoyed partici-pating in the youth par-liament session, where she contributed her opinion to topics such as: if water is wet, if hate speech exists or if it’s simply one’s opinion, and if drugs should be legal-ized.

“It was … interesting,” she chuckled. “There were a lot of opinions.”

marijuana should legal-ized, but only for medical uses. MelvilleComprehensive School

Jaden Croswell and April Cook were two of six students from the

MCS SRG who attended the conference. This was

event.The large amount of students who attended con-

tributed an exciting energy and vibe, which made it a great conference, said Croswell.

Two breakout sessions he enjoyed focused on com-munity co-ops and sexual assault. The co-ops session discussed how important such businesses are to the community and how much they contribute; Croswell believes it’s possible to have Prairie Co-op get more involved at MCS.

Croswell learned much from the session on sexual assault and believes he can take what he learned and present it to his schoolmates in an engaging way.

Cook echoed Croswell’s enjoyment for the confer-ence, adding there was plenty of discussion about how to be a good leader since good leaders build strong societies and communities for others. She appreciated Montgomery’s comments about failing and overcom-ing obstacles.

“If you fail, try again. You are worthy,” she re-called.

The youth parliament session was heated, Cooksaid with a chuckle, particularly when it came to dis-cussing the decriminalization of drugs.

“It was a really good experience meeting every-one,” she added, “and a good energy environment.”

Teachers’ contracts finalizedBy Sarah PacioGrasslands News

a new contract to replace the one that expired last year.

On Sept.7, an arbitration board awarded the province’s 13,500 teachers a two-year contract covering Septem-ber 2017 through August 2019.

Unsuccessful negotiations between the government and teacher bargain-ing committees last year led the Sas-katchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) to request binding arbitration in Janu-ary. The contract created by the board is binding and non-negotiable.

A major point of contention during initial negotiations appears to have been the government’s desire for a 3.67-per-cent wage decrease. Gordon Wyant said he was prepared to bring the issue to cabinet again when he was appointed minster of education earlier this year.

“I have always maintained that a negotiated settlement is always better than a settlement that’s dictated by a third party,” Wyant stated. “I would have been more than happy to go back to cabinet to seek a different mandate to get back to the bargaining table.”

However, the STF opted to continue the arbitration process rather than pro-longing negotiations.

The contract delivered by the arbi-tration board states that teachers’ sala-

year of the contract but there will be a one-per-cent increase at the end of the second year. Wyant acknowledged that this might disappoint teachers, but he emphasized that the STF — not the government — had insisted on arbitra-tion.

In a release last week, STF president Patrick Maze expressed disappoint-ment with the salary package, and that the new contract fails to address the problem of class size. Yet Maze also noted positive results of arbitration.

“Teachers now have greater pro-tection against arbitrary decisions by their employers,” Maze said. “And after six years of uncertainty and confusion, teachers are now protected by the pro-visions of the Task Force on Teacher Time, something that was promised by the government but never delivered.”

Another item in favour of teachers is that the government will cover all fees paid to the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB).

Now that this year’s contract is in place, the government says it will be implemented and preparations will begin for the next contract.

“We’ll work diligently now as a gov-ernment to ensure that the directive that has come from the arbitrator will be fully implemented as quickly as pos-sible ” Wyant told reporters

Melville trustee re-elected vice-chair of public schools


School trustee Bob Simpson has been re-elected as the vice-chair for the Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) board of education.

Simpson represents subdivision 6, which includes Melville, Grayson and surrounding area. Lois Smandych, who represents subdivision 5 for Church-bridge, Langenburg, Saltcoats and area, was re-elected as board chair.

Trustee elections were held during the recent GSSD board meeting. Other trustees are Jaime Johnson (subdivi-sion 1), Christopher Balyski (subdivi-sion 2), Shannon Leson (subdivision 3), Florence Stachura (subdivision 4), Jade Anderson (subdivision 7), Gilda Dokuchie (subdivision 8), while Gor-don Gendur, Jan Morrison and Steve Variyan are the at-large trustees for Yorkton.

Board meetings for the 2018-19 school year are Oct. 4, Nov. 22, Dec. 20, Jan. 31, 2019, March 14, 2019, April 16, 2019, May 16, 2019, June 20, 2019 and Aug. 29, 2019.

Board trustees approved the divi-sion’s line of credit for $8.5 million. Sig-natures for major purchases must come from the chair or vice-chair, and the

manager. Trustee payments

Indemnities for attending board meetings remain the same as last year: $300 for the chair, $280 for the vice-chair and $260 for each trustee.

Trustees will be paid $65 per hour — in half-hour increments — to a maximum of four hours per day for committee representation or board su-

pervision. Trustees will also be paid $65 per hour to a maximum of six hours per school for attending school community council meetings.

When attending conferences, trust-ees will be paid $260 per full day and at half-rates per half day of three hours or fewer. The convention rate will also be applied for two travel days for events outside Saskatchewan and one day for events in Saskatchewan where there is no organized activity on that day.

If board members are unsure if they can attend a convention, they will be registered late and the $100 late fee will be payable to the board.

Trustees will each receive $100 for attending board meetings by confer-ence call.

Each trustee will be recognized for preparing for meetings by receiving $150 each month.

Trustees and division staff will re-ceive 42 cents per kilometre to attend events. If carpooling is available and the trustee or staff member chooses to travel solo, the rate will be recognized at one-quarter the approve rate. For travel time, trustees will be paid 25 cents per kilometre.

Both trustees and staff members will eligible for meal rates at $15 for breakfast, $20 for lunch and $25 for dinner.

Trustees will be reimbursed $50 per night in using private accommodations in lieu of commercial accommodations.

The chair or vice-chair will review and approve all indemnity forms before payment is issued for trustees. Trustee Stachura will review and approve the indemnity forms for the chair and vice-chair.

Venus in October SkiesThe moon is at last

quarter on Oct. 2, a little bit west of M44, the Bee-hive Cluster. The two share the same space on Oct. 4, and Regulus, the bright star in Leo, joins up on Oct. 5. Jupiter is four degrees south of a thin sliver of moon, just two days past new. On Oct. 14, Saturn is a mere 1.8 degrees south of the moon, while Mars meets up with Luna on Oct. 18. The moon is full on Oct. 24, and by Oct. 31, is again close by the Bee-hive Cluster.

Mercury is coming out from behind the Sun’s glare, but poorly placed for Northern Hemisphere viewers, as it hugs the horizon at sunset. An excellent ap-parition for those people south of the equator.

Venus rounds toward inferior conjunction on Oct. 26, when it passes between the sun and Earth. Careful telescopic setup will allow observ-ers the chance to see Venus in the daylight as it skirts by a little over

six degrees south of the sun. Great care must be taken to avoid looking directly at the Sun, espe-cially so through a tele-scope.

Mars loses brightness as Earth rapidly pulls away. Last month’s magnitude reduced from –2.1 to –1.3; this month it again halves from –1.2 to –0.6. Watch for the first-quarter moon nearby on Oct. 17 and 18.

Jupiter is a tough ob-servation as it hugs the horizon at sunset. The slender sliver of a moon glides by on Oct. 11.

Saturn is in Sagittar-ius, visible in the early evening western sky, setting by 9 p.m.

Uranus, on the Pi-sces-Aries border, reaches opposition on

time since 1963 that the blue-green planet has been more than 10 degrees north of the ce-lestial equator at oppo-sition. This northward trend continues until reaching maximum in 2032. The full moon is right below Uranus at opposition (midnight, with the sun directly be-hind a viewer).

Neptune is just past opposition and visible throughout most of the night, with optical aid.

The zodiacal light is visible in the east before morning twilight for the

month.James Edgar has had

an interest in the night sky all his life. He joined The Royal Astronomi-cal Society of Canada in 2000 and is now the editor of the renowned Observer’s Handbook and production manager of the bi-monthly RASC Journal. The IAU named asteroid 1995 XC5 “(22421) Jamesedgar” in his honour.

Millionaires still working out the kinksBy Darcy GrossFor Grasslands News

The Melville Millionaires are still in the process of jelling, as evidenced by their last two contests, one a blowout victory and the other a shutout loss.

Millionaires 0 at Flin Flon Bombers 4 (Showcase, Sept. 24)

The Bombers outshot the Mils 34-29 in this contest where los-ing netminder Colby Entz was Melville’s best player.

Entz made 30 saves but was outduelled by Flin Flon goalie Pierce Diamond, who made 29 saves and recorded a shutout in the afternoon SJHL Showcase matchup.

Notre Dame Hounds 2 at Millionaires 6 (Sept. 21)

The Millionaires gave the home crowd something to cheer

The home side tacked on two goals in the second period and added a single in the third to complete their scoring.

Damian Bentz led the way for Melville, notching a pair of goals while Dayton Heino and Montana Streit each scored and added an assist. Veteran Cory Schillo recorded a pair of helpers with hometowner Tyler Pryhitka and Daniel Liberty tallying singles.

Berk Berkeliev drew the starting assignment between the posts for Melville and made 26 games to earn the victory as Mel-

cage.The Millionaires were dynamite with the man advantage,

scoring three times in six attempts as the Hounds didn’t score in their three power play opportunities.

The Mils carried much of the play in this game, but it was the Wings who made the most of their opportunities, leading 3-0 and

Melville outshot Weyburn 40-31 with Colby Entz suffering the loss in goal.

The Red Wings scored twice with a member of the Mils in the sin bin while Melville couldn’t score in six power play tries.

Jaden Shewchuck and Pryhitka each notched a single marker for the visitors

with the Flin Flon Bombers on back-to-back nights, Sept. 28 and 29, before going to LaRonge to take on the Ice Wolves on Sept. 30.

Couch potato heavenThis is the time of

year that every sports fan looks forward to.

It isn’t because it’s the end of golf season and other outdoor pur-suits are on the horizon; rather, it’s because it’s such a great time to be a couch potato.

Sure, if you feel the need to freeze your nether regions off, there’s always hunting, but wouldn’t you rather be inside, in front of a nice

-ing the Major League Baseball playoffs than sitting in a blind or a tree stand?

For many, they’d take either of those options all day long over a television, but I’m partial to staying warm and relaxed, so playoffs and World Se-ries, here I come.

Perhaps you’re not a baseball fan, but you prefer something a little more Canadian, hockey for example. All the ju-nior leagues have al-ready kicked off their seasons and there are NHL exhibition tilts to watch.

You might not get a realistic view of what your team is going to be, but you can always check out some prospects and make your own picks of which players you’d like to see once the real sea-son gets underway.

There are quite a few people who wait all year, from the time that the Stanley Cup is carried around the winner’s

-ceoff of the new season, to watch hockey.

They are the diehards whose life hangs on every word said by the panels of TSN and Sportsnet who report on the sport. These are the guys who watch the sports report hour after waking hour even though the same re-port will be replayed over and over until around noon the next day be-cause their favourite player or team might get a mention.

Granted, these are usually Leafs fans, but you understand where I’m coming from, right?

If hockey isn’t your bag, you can tune in to a football game, whether it be the CFL or the NFL. The Canadian version of pigskin is near the mid-point of the season, and a quick glance at the standings shows the Sas-katchewan Roughriders near the top of the heap, trailing only the power-house Calgary Stamped-ers.

In the National Foot-ball League, the sea-son is three weeks old and everything is top-sy-turvy. The teams that were supposed to be bad look pretty good and the

teams that are supposed to be good, well, they’re downright awful.

The New England Pa-triots look pretty darn average and Pittsburgh’s once feared defence has been shredded like the cheese you melt on your nachos before the game.

Heck, even the Cleve-land Browns broke their winless streak — with-out winning — but then got their win a couple of weeks later and looked like an actual football team doing it.

It was quite the week

to be a sports fan as Tiger Woods won a golf

so in convincing fashion.Did I mention you can

see all this from your couch?

I’ve given you plenty of examples why this time of year is great for folks who love sports and I didn’t even mention bas-ketball, which will start again soon.

The only problem is, how many can you watch at once or how much room do you have on your PVR. It’s going to be kind of crazy for the next seven months or so.

I know a lot of people will head south to work on their tan, but me, I’m going to work on my grip — my grip on the remote control.

Four great reasons to advertise

IN YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER

You’ll boost the local economy

By advertising in your community newspaper,

you’ll be supporting the local economy. You’ll

help the papers’ reporters, photographers, sales consultants, carriers,

proofreaders, graphic designers, copywriters and other employees keep their

jobs. Moreover, you’ll work with people

who understand the local market.

You’ll save money

Ad space in a national newspaper is much more

expensive than in a local one. Admittedly, your message

circulates over a greater area, but you should analyze the

cost-effectiveness: will readers really travel

dozens of kilometres to visit your store?

By advertising in your local paper, you’ll reach your target audience directly — without

breaking the bank!

You’ll reach your

target audience

By advertising in your local paper, you’re sure

to reach your customer base — those

who are from your town and surrounding areas! Your ad campaigns

will be highly targeted and consequently,

very effective.

You’ll get quality ads

Business owners rarely have the time or skills

necessary to write advertising copy, take photos and otherwise

create professional-quality ads. By working with your local paper, you’ll benefit from the expertise and

skills of its team members, including graphic

designers, writers, editors and ad reps.

Prairie Fire playerscompete for U18 spots


Coaches with Saskatchewan’s under-18 female hockey team are hard at work cutting down the number of players who will form the elite group, which could include two members of the Melville Prairie Fire.

Defenceman Allison Hayhurst and goalie Cheyenne Jamieson were two of 30 players with the Saskatchewan U18 female team at the Central Plains Cap-itals Preseason Showcase Tournament in Manitoba from Sept. 21 to 23.

by December, with the team to play at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, Alta., in February.

This was Hayhurst’s second year trying out for the team; she made the squad last year and helped the team place fourth during a national tourna-ment in November.

“It’s always nerve-racking knowing you could be cut,” she said. “Every-body’s odds are the same … But hav-ing national experience from last year helped.”

Hayhurst, 17, thought she played well during the tournament. She fo-cused on showcasing her defensive skills, including preventing opposing players from entering the zone, gap control and making clean passes to the wingers.

-ing out, and while she thought she competed well in the one game she played, she also found the experience — especially the build-up to playing net — nerve-racking.

“I really liked it,” said Jamieson, 16. “I’ve never played with those girls be-fore. It was nice to see how other girls played.”

Playing with elite players was a good experience, she continued. It was different from playing with the Prairie Fire since the U18 team came together quickly. However, Jamieson thought the team bonded well.

“It’s hard to get to know some of the girls, but once you do it’s easy to play with them,” said Hayhurst.

Hayhurst expects to take the experi-ence she gained while trying out for the U18 team — especially the coaches’ ad-

ALZHEIMER ASSOCIATION OF SASKATCHEWAN INC.Alzheimer Disease is a degenerative disorder that destroys vital brain cells. (It is thought to be the fourth or fifth most common cause of death in Canada). Alzheimer Disease is not a natural aging process.The Outcome: Alzheimer disease may last from two to twenty years after its onset. At least 300,000 Canadians are afflicted with the disease, which causes approx-imately 10,000 deaths a year. Shifting demographics mean that up to 500,000 Canadians could be affected by Alzheimer Disease by the year 2000.

What can we do? There is no known cause or cure of Alzheimer Disease. The only hope is research. In the meantime, we can provide support to individuals and their families who are often devastated by the effects of the disease on their loved ones.How can you help? Help is available for individuals and their families through the Alzheimer Association of Saskatchewan Inc., a provincial voluntary organization, and its family support groups.

On the tip of my tongue

Donors Choice looks to raise $45K

I asked Ed yesterday if he could remember the last name of a fellow we both knew in Melville. The fellow had a wife named Ruth, and his

their last name was not anywhere near the tip of my tongue.

Ed remembered the couple as regular coffee drinkers at the Dairy Queen downtown. He could not recall their last name either. He was de-termined, however, that the name would come to him and he would tell me the next time we talked.

We discussed that the tongue is powerful, but only if there is a memory to go with it. The tongue may have the power of life and death in it for those who have not forgotten who they are talking about. It is said that tongues can grow sharper in old age, but that does not account for those who cannot even remember where their glasses are to be found. Remembering other peo-ple’s names may come and go in old age and thus praise, or slander cannot do much harm or good to the nameless.

The tongue is a small member of our body that may boast of great things. It can be like a lit match setting a forest ablaze. It can cause both great good and harm. Bits put into the mouths of horses can guide their whole bodies. There is nothing that humans can put in their mouths to control what comes off their tongue — except a gag. Who can completely control their tongue?

The Bible says, “No human being can tame the tongue. It is a rest-less evil, full of deadly poison. With it, we bless our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse people who are made

From the same mouth come blessing and curs-ing. These things ought not to be so.”

The tongue may re-

-rogance, we may speak evil against one another. How can this be when

law giver and judge? Who are we to judge our neighbours? We strug-gle and fail to treat our neighbours as we would want to be treated. We can not save and destroy

Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment

you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure, you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but not notice the log that is in your own eye?”

The Bible also warns us not to use our tongues to grumble against one another. Nor should our tongues be used to de-ceive others with exag-gerations and promises. We should be trust-worthy with our yes, a yes, and our no, a no. We should be as good as our word.

Jesus warned that using our tongues for prayer should be done privately not to be seen by others. He said, “When you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

Keep prayers brief as

before we ask.

Is Rail City Industries your favou-rite organization in Melville? Maybe you like the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), or think the Canadian Mental Health Associa-tion does the best job in the commu-nity.

by contributing to this year’s 46th annual Melville and District Donors Choice Appeal, from Oct. 1 to 15.

Donors Choice is fundraising for 19 -

mer Society of Saskatchewan, Arthritis Society, Canadian Cancer Society, Ca-nadian Diabetes Association (Melville branch), Canadian Mental Health As-sociation, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Canadian Red Cross, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, Kidney Foundation of Canada (Saskatchewan branch), Lung Association of Saskatch-ewan, Melville and District Commu-nity Foundation, Melville and District Food Bank, Melville Rail Station Her-itage Association, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada (Sask. Division), Rail City Industries Foundation, St. Paul Lutheran Home Foundation, St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation, Sas-katchewan Abilities Council (Yorkton), and the Society for Prevention of Cru-elty to Animals.

“Things are looking good for Donors Choice (this year). We have everything in place,” said Lynn Litzenberger, sec-retary-treasurer for the organization.

Last year’s fundraiser went well, with $41,745 raised, including $19,260 from CN Rail, she said. Donors Choice is pleased with the support the com-munity gives to the fundraiser, includ-ing businesses that give a little extra.

Litzenberger wasn’t too concerned that donations had dropped from 2016

to 2017. She explained every year is different and there are many opportu-nities for worthwhile giving to chari-ties. Every year she hopes to top the amount raised from the year before; the goal for 2018 is $45,000.

No new groups joined Donors Choice this year, but there is space available

she continued. If they qualify with a charity licence and can have someone join the board, Donors Choice would in-vite them to be apart of the campaign.

“There’s not much time for that, but you never know who’s out there,” Lit-zenberger added.

As the secretary- treasurer, Litzen-berger is involved with Donors Choice year-round. It’s exciting for her to put together the next campaign and see the support residents give.

Litzenberger volunteers with the Lung Association of Saskatchewan and pounds the streets looking for do-nations for the association and related agencies.

“It’s just about helping. The Lung Association is near and dear to my heart,” she said. “We had to have their help at one point in raising our family. So I’m very glad to be able to help the association.”

Litzenberger thanked everyone who gives to Donors Choice and emphasized her thankfulness for the volunteers from the 19 charities. The number of volunteers for each group ranges from one to 10; there are between 50 and 75 in total.

“It’s nice to see the money stay in our community. It’s great,” she added.

Donations can be made online at www.melvilledonorschoiceappeal.com. Or, donations can be dropped off at Horizon Credit Union, Royal Bank, or Bank of Montreal. Or, cheques can be mailed to Melville and District Donors Choice, Box 365, Melville, S0A 2P0.

GEISLER – Ernest Les-lie Geisler of Melville, Sask., passed away on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018 at St. Paul Lu-theran Home in Melville at the age of 84 years. Ernest was born Sept. 24, 1933 to George and Lena (Schoffer) on the farm in the Happy Center district. He at-tended Happy Center School until he was 14, when he left home in the winters to go work in the far north. He returned to farm there with his father until 1960 when he moved to the Duff area to farm on his own. Ernest married Alvina Eunice Keller in 1954 and they had four children. He retired from farming, sold the farm and moved to Melville

long as he bought another farm in the R.M. of Cana and moved back the very same year. He re-sided there until February of this year.
