Students gain better idea of rural medicine during Melville tourBy Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

Medical students from the University of Saskatchewan gained a better understanding of the responsibilities rural physicians have after touring St. Peter’s Hospital and participat-ing in hands-on clinical activities.

The 35 students vis-ited Melville on March 3 as part of the Saskatchewan Medical Association’s (SMA) Roadmap Program. The aim is to showcase rural Saskatchewan centres and encourage provincially trained physicians to work in smaller communities.

The program allows students and medical res-idents to tour the host community and spend time with physicians learning about their medical prac-tices. Students attend three or four rural tours if there is enough time in the academic year. This is the sixth year for the program.

At St. Peter’s Hospital, the students took part in clinical skills stations that focused on airway, nee-dle insertion, pediatrics, suturing and casting. They later participated in art activities at Melville Com-munity Works. Practice is good

Third-year medical student Mary Lynn Beaulieu enjoyed wrapping a cast around her classmate’s arm. She thought the community tours provided great ex-posure of where she could work after graduation and allowed her to see what rural physicians do.

“Any practice we can have is good,” she said. “It re-iterates the scope of what family doctors can do here.”

Beaulieu is originally from Coronach. She was the only student on the tour from rural Saskatchewan.

Michelle Kushneriuk, a second-year medical stu-dent, sewed sutures onto a piece of pork under the watchful eye of Dr. Johan van Zyl. Kushneriuk is leaning toward family medicine since she would have many responsibilities as a doctor.

“They need doctors in rural communities. It’s good for us to get this exposure (to rural communities),” she said. “There are so many small communities I’ve never seen before.”

Kushneriuk enjoys learning about the human body and what she can do to help repair it.

“Melville offers much here,” she added. “You have a really nice facility.”Teaching a new generation

Van Zyl doesn’t consider himself a teacher, but en-joys passing along his knowledge to the next genera-tion of physicians.

“The hands-on thing like sutures is exciting,” he said. “You can see it (and) you can do it.”

Van Zyl compared teaching to planting seeds during harvest. An interest to work in rural com-munities might grow in one or more students, which could mean they might come to Melville. Recruiting Canadian doctors

Dr. Hamid Eshawesh, who has worked in Melville for 15 years, sits on the SMA’s Committee on Rural and Regional Practice. He explained it has been dif-ficult to recruit Canadian-born doctors to work in rural Saskatchewan.

It has been 40 years since a Canadian-born doc-tor worked in Melville, he continued. However, Dr. Chelsea Cottingham recently moved to Melville from Manitoba to work out of Eshawesh’s office.

“The model of payment for our physicians here is 100-per-cent fee for service,” he said. “So we eat what we kill. If you don’t have patients, you’ve got no in-come.”

The medical students had never been to a place where it was a fee for service model. They were wor-ried about how they would live if they moved to such a community.

Being a general practitioner is what has kept Esh-awash in Melville, he said. He has come to know his patients and their families well.

“Being a generalist is very satisfying work,” he continued. “You feel you are impactful … and in a small town, it’s very good experience.”

The SMA provides a grant of $25,000 to a phy-sician who works in rural Saskatchewan for three years. More resources in urban hospitals

“We’re very happy to have them here to see the practical environment we have,” said Lisa Alspach, manager of St. Peter’s Hospital.

A larger city hospital has all the resources a phy-sician requires, which means a doctor can defer to a specialist, Alspach said. But general practitioners must be knowledgeable about every possible scenario they could face in rural communities, where a hospi-tal might not have a specialist.

For example, there could be three nurses and one doctor on at 3 a.m. on a Friday in Melville. A regis-tered nurse (RN) would call the doctor when an am-bulance arrives with a patient. The staff would then support that doctor.

It took many people to put the tour together, from the doctors to administrative staff to medical ser-vices to EMTs. Alspach thought it was a good demon-stration of the hospital’s teamwork.

“It’s good for the students to learn that the other professionals are highly skilled and can be an asset to you,” she added. A privilege to help others

The College of Medicine emphasizes teamwork, but it was good to take part in the activities, talk to the doctors and see how everyone collaborates, said Cadence MacPherson, a first-year med student. She understands the importance of collaborating with others in a rural hospital.

“The doctors here are amazing,” she said. “They use each other as resources.”

MacPherson is interested in women’s health, but would also like to pursue family medicine. Practising the latter in a rural setting would help since there are many duties in a rural hospital.

For Odell Tan, a class he is currently taking fo-cuses on reproductive health. This module turned out to be timely, as he practised how to deliver a baby on a mannequin.

“It’s something I will deal with next year, when I help out on the (pediatric) ward,” Tan said. “It’s a privilege to walk into the room and help.”

They need doctors in rural communities.

Jeff Appel, CEO of Melville Home Hardware, gathers in front of North American Lumber (NAL). Ap-

Home Hardware purchases North American Lumber

By Jason G. AntonioAdvance Reporter

Melville Home Hard-ware has purchased the community’s North Amer-ican Lumber (NAL) outlet, bringing an end to NAL being a retail anchor of Melv i l le ’s downtown b u s i n e s s core for nearly 110 years.

The sale is effective March 16. “It’s fantastic for the community,”

said Ken Karius, the regional manager for NAL.

The quest to sell NAL as a company began in 2017, after president Martha Konantz announced she was retiring and wanted to sell the company since there was no fifth generation family member to take over.

A deal to sell the company to Mill Street and Co. from Ontario was an-nounced in July, but fell apart on Nov. 28.

The sale to Home Hardware is good news since that company has done well in Melville, said Karius. There will still be two lumber yards, giving res-idents a choice of where to purchase their materials.

Home Hardware will likely discuss how NAL staff fit into the new business structure, Karius said. As for him, he’ll continue with NAL until the company’s stores are sold, at which point he’ll pur-sue new opportunities.

North American Lumber outlets in Weyburn and Radville are already sold. Karius is in talks with individu-als and companies to sell the remain-ing eight stores across Western Canada and Ontario.

Melville Home Hardware was look-ing to sell lumber and building mate-rials, so purchasing the NAL business allows it to expand to a Home Hard-ware Building Centre, said CEO Jeff Appel.

“We will serve our customers bet-ter,” he said. “Now we will be a full line home centre.”

The existing NAL lumber yard will be used as a warehouse for the com-plete line of building products. All the hardware products inside NAL will be transferred to Home Hardware’s store on Main Street.

The company doesn’t intend to con-

struct a new building now, but that could be a future consideration, said Appel. Home Hardware will oper-ate out of its current build-ing for now.

Home Hardware is talking with NAL staff

about fu-ture em-ployment , but nothing

has been finalized yet, Appel said. “It’s exciting for Melville (and) it’s

exciting for us,” added Appel about ac-quiring such a historic business. “We look forward to serving people and helping people and becoming a full line building centre.”

NAL’s Melville location opened in the summer of 1908 and was the sec-ond store for the company, which grew to serve an area from northwestern Ontario to Saskatchewan.

According to The Ties That Bind, the construction of a railroad in West-ern Canada by Grand Trunk Railway from Winnipeg to Edmonton — now the CN Railway main line — sparked the creation of North American Lum-ber.

Rivers, Man., was the first commu-nity to receive a NAL store, followed by Melville. The materials to build the store were shipped to Killaly and then hauled to Melville. It was late in the summer of 1908 when the lumber yard was completed and stock brought in.

J.E. Jorgens was the first manager of the Melville branch. There is no com-plete listing of managers available, ac-cording to The Ties That Bind.

Melville Home Hardware has been community owned and operated by the Appel family since 1977. It has had a presence in the community dating back to the early 1900s under the banners of Anderson Hardware, Marshall Wells, Link Hardware and, since 1981, Home Hardware.

Melville Hardware is affiliated with Home Hardware Stores Limited, Can-ada’s largest dealer-owned hardware, lumber, building materials and furni-ture home improvement retailer. It has close to 1,100 stores and annual sales of more than $6 billion.

Founded in 1964 in St. Jacobs, Ont., Home Hardware is fully Canadian owned and operated.

The names of prominent people, and the statues and monuments of Canadi-ans who have influenced our country’s development over the years, are all part of our history and should be left as they have been displayed — no matter what certain individuals or groups may feel about their political correctness today.

History is history and cannot be changed. When I was a student, and still as an always-learning individual, I thought that past events were all writ-ten into history so we could study the reasons and see the consequences of each event in context.

The events and people in any country should always be there as a teaching tool for people to appreciate why things happened. Events of the past should be tools for society to understand what can be the result of various actions of people or governments and can then be studied to know the good and the bad effects of important decisions that have affected the lives of our people.

By removing a statue or a name from the history books, such as Sir John A. Macdonald, it will not change the role he played in the development of resi-dential schools. The truth is that people reading about what transpired in that period he lived and was prime minister, and how the residential schools affected Indigenous people, is how we can learn and work to prevent similar events or mistakes from happening in the future.

There is a great deal of hurt among Indigenous people, and justly so, but

removing any history of the people re-sponsible or the event itself, will not minimize the hurt or heal the wounds. Removing the history will not teach our children and our leaders of tomor-row how things fall into place and may happen, even if they may not be right.

Understanding history will make Canada grow into a stronger, more equal and compassionate nation for all citizens, regardless of their country of origin. The good and the bad of past experiences should be presented to our society. Will this stop all bad or unjust things from happening? Undoubtedly not. It may help to teach people how to make better decisions themselves so that actions, such as the residential schools, cannot take place or be formed by governments or individuals today.

We need to teach Canadian history in our schools. The lack of a strong Canadian history curriculum in our schools over the years has probably cre-ated some of the need for reconciliation today, and the sooner people learn the history of the people we live and deal with in our everyday lives, the sooner we will understand their actions and emotions.

Then we can work together to de-velop a platform of ideas and a future that is acceptable to all.

By studying history, we learn from our mistakes in the past and we learn how to move forward in the future.

The sad reality for those who enjoy Sas-katchewan politics is that it’s often not really all that enjoyable.

It’s often all about di-visive fighting that tears people apart. Maybe some people like that, but that doesn’t seem to be what many of us would characterize as a Sas-katchewan value.

Even the topic of Sas-katchewan values can be a divisive issue, as we found out in the recent political party leadership races. Just an hour before his leadership win in Re-gina, new Saskatchewan NDP leader Ryan Meili declared: “New Demo-cratic values, friends, those are Saskatchewan values.”

Really?Maybe one can attri-

bute some party policies to the collective beliefs of those who support them, but is that really the same as owning the val-ues of a province? Can po-litical parties then claim they have exclusivity to the values of the people they hope to represent?

In fairness, let us not just pick on Meili because most every politician has made the same grandiose claim about themselves or their party at one time or the other.

Certainly, the Sas-katchewan Party — bra-zen enough to take the

province’s name when four former Progressive Conservative members and four former Liberal MLAs formed this party 20 years ago — have never been shy about claiming to represent the heart and soul of the province.

Perhaps the Sask. Party would like to think that it’s Saskatchewan’s free-enterprise, indepen-dent spirit that it pur-ports to represent, or maybe the NDP would have us believe it lays claim to caring, sharing and co-operative nature of so many of us.

The truth be told, peo-ple and their value sys-tems are more complex than that.

You can be a generous, giving person who hap-pens to believe in free enterprise and indepen-dence as much as you be-lieve in your community and the need to work to-gether to get things done.

Go anywhere in rural Saskatchewan and you are destined to find peo-ple who share all these values that really some-how don’t seem to con-flict much at all. Some of them may even be active in a politics — or at least, seem to have strongly held political beliefs.

And there are some people — you likely know a few of them — who seem to have no discern-able values, but are sure active in one political

party or another.Go most anywhere in

this country — or this world — and you will findpeople with similar good values. They didn’t arrive at these values becausethey grew up in a place with vast horizons and long, cold winters — al-though maybe the nature of this place does afford you more time to think about who you are and what you believe in.

Saskatchewan has witnessed a lot that of late that seems to havedivided us. Certainly, the recent Gerald Stan-ley not guilty verdict has divided people along alltoo many lines. Maybe it would be good for thoseon both sides of the divide to look deep into our own beliefs and respect that there are big, legitimateconcerns about both pub-lic safety and race thatneed to be heard.

After all, the verymotto of our province is, “From many peoples, strength.” What we don’t need, however, is to haveour political beliefs divideus any more than we al-ready are. Saskatchewan is already a province that’s too divided be-tween urban and rural,and right and left.

So maybe politiciansshould stop proclaimingthey represent our val-ues and instead listen to what our values are.

Our history gives context

No party owns our values

Dear Editor:Yes, I’m a prejudiced man and I

admit it. The prejudice is rather narrowly fo-

cused as it is only about environmen-tally-friendly electrical production. The prejudice favours the rapid transition from using dirty fossil fuels and nu-clear, to using clean renewable electric-ity that can be produced and used on your own property consuming nothing more vile than wind, sun, the basic wastes and pollutants that human ac-tivities create and we would never have to be cursed with blackouts like this re-cent SaskPower outage in the southeast part of the province.

These periodic outages are ridicu-lous and totally avoidable. If people and communities were producing en-ergy from south-facing or flat rooftops, agricultural wastes, landfills, lagoons, wind, moving water, biofuels, geother-mal, etc. etc., we would never be sub-jected to these periodic outages. At least those who invested in those tech-nologies wouldn’t be subjected. Those technologies are getting better and cheaper every day and once they are paid off we have endless, free, environ-mentally-friendly electrical power with

usages limited only by our imagination. There would be no more limitations by ever-increasing power bills solely to maintain a massive, demanding, mo-nopoly rapidly facing its own antiquity.

There is no future for the generations to come in dirty, non-renewable energy. There is a brilliant and blossoming fu-ture in clean, renewable, energy.

Do you not want reliable sustain-ability in electricity so your freezer, furnace and water systems continue to work when it’s -25 C? Take a seri-ous look at energy independence. Inde-pendent power production, produced on your own property, or locally produced and consumed, minimizes much of the transmission prices and problems we now face. Renewable energy production is the answer to most of the economic and environmental problems we face as a human race.

It creates lots of jobs, it adds value to your property, it turns present, pol-luting, wastes into power and heat, it respects and protects the environment and it keeps the lights on when every body else is in the dark.

During the 2017-18 school year, principals have

enhance their situational awareness, their ability to lead the instructional program at their school, and their ability to develop the people within their build-ings.

School divisions attempt to improve the learning success of their students using various ways, said Quintin Robertson, GSSD director of education, in the recent division newsletter.

Improvements in curriculum, instruction, assess-ment, parental and community engagement, technol-ogy, governance, and other initiatives are some ways the division contributes to student growth.

There have been 12 PD seminars for educators since Jan. 9. Online learning

GSSD teachers who deliver online courses recently gathered to set the direction for the 2018-19 school year. These teachers discussed the current course of-ferings available and their vision for new course de-velopment.

The teachers also collaborated on how to improve student communication, how to incorporate best prac-tices of online learning, how to use various applica-tions associated with the web-based platform Moodle for course development, and the current assessment practices being used.

Good Spirit has seen tremendous growth in the last few years with the number of students accessing on-line courses, said Robertson. The number of teachers developing and teaching courses has also increased, with teaching staff coming from nine GSSD schools.

GSSD intends to develop more electives to comple-ment the 35 courses already offered. The next school year will see several new courses available to all GSSD high school and home-based students. Professional development seminars

The division’s literacy team, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teachers, educational assistants, and bus drivers all participated recently in professional development seminars to increase their skills.

The literacy team learned how to better help strug-gling readers using important resources already available to student-support teachers and literacy in-terventionists.

The more than 50 participants were reminded that it is clear instructions that make a difference for stu-dents struggling as readers.

The expanded Literacy Continuum program was given to each school before the workshop and was the backbone of the seminar. Connecting curriculum to play

Pre-K and kindergarten teachers participated in a seminar about connecting curriculum to play. The teachers were shown different planning templates to connect children’s interests with the curriculum and holistic development of kids.

Teachers explored inquiry and project-based learn-ing, gained ideas about creating a learning environ-ment, used technology to record learning, supported conversations with children, and learned about hon-ouring students’ home, family, culture and commu-

nity. These teachers also built a learning network of

support with their colleagues throughout GSSD.More than 130 educational assistants participated

in a workshop about providing academic supports for learners. EAs developed an understanding of howto support students as independent learners and anunderstanding of clear instruction to built automatic and reasoning skills.

EAs also learned more about students’ emotionaland behavioural development within the classroom and school community. Being more aware while driving

GSSD sexual diversity policy only a draft

GSSD teachers receiving more learning opportunities

Dear editor:Recently I have been made aware of social media

posts and a letter to the editor regarding a Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) Administrative Pro-cedure on Gender and Sexual Diversity. I appreciate the anxiety and concern that some wording within the draft Administrative Procedure has created. Please be assured GSSD is following Ministry of Ed-ucation guidelines in ensuring that all students have safe and supportive school environments despite the diversity represented within each of their families. Staff, parents, and other community members will continue to be consulted as the division moves closer to completing our Administrative Procedure.

To avoid misinformation, I would ask that GSSD parents consider the following information:

1. The Administrative Procedure (AP) being ref-erenced is in draft form and is still undergoing re-vision. The AP is still undergoing a vetting process

-

2. The intent of the Administrative Procedure was to construct guidelines around the inclusion of all students and staff within GSSD regardless of their gender or sexual identity.

3. GSSD is not promoting or teaching a preference to any particular lifestyle. GSSD is mandated to

follow the Saskatchewan curriculum and is not im-plementing any other curriculum that is currently aperception among fractions of our GSSD family.

4. GSSD respects and appreciates the role of par--

holders in a child’s education. It is not the intent of GSSD to withhold or hide information from parents.Rather GSSD is committed to working with parents

5. GSSD is respecting provincial and federal codes of human rights and freedoms. We continue to re-spect diversity among our children and their families by ensuring inclusive, safe environments. Inclusion means we respect all differences and treat all chil-dren equally.

6. GSSD will continue to provide training and development to our staff and families as we ventureto support all students within our division to create bright futures.

7. GSSD is following guidelines set forth by the Provincial Governments Ministry of Education. In 2015, the document “Deepening the Discussion” was published as a set of guidelines to be followed by all provincial school divisions (Public and Catholic).

Melville was ham-mered by two separate weather systems that dropped nearly 18 inches of snow on the commu-nity, making travelling treacherous, but also creating many instances of neighbours helping neighbours.

Melville received 43 centimetres of snow from March 4 to 6, according to CTV News, making many streets impossible to navigate, especially for anyone driving a car or small SUV. Many highway drivers also found themselves in the ditch.

Good Spirit School Division and Christ the Teacher Catholic School Division cancelled bus routes in Melville on March 5 and 6, which meant many students stayed home.

The City of Melville’s public works department is asking residents to be patient as it clears the main emergency and ar-terial routes, followed by secondary and residen-tial streets. Busy tow truck

Scott Brown, with Scotty’s Garage and Towing, began respond-ing to calls at 2 a.m. on March 5. He came home at 10 p.m. that night, before responding to an-other call at 11:30 p.m., followed by calls at 1:30 a.m., 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. the next day.

“Living the dream,” he chuckled, after pull-ing out a car from an alley. He hasn’t kept track of how many calls he’s received, but knows it’s many. He has dealt with calls in town and out of town, from cars in ditches to cars stuck on city streets.

On March 5 there was a backlog of nine calls that required answer-ing. All the calls have been for extricating ve-hicles; his winch and tow system have been used continuously. There was still a backlog of calls

by March 6, but Brown hoped to clean up the rest by the evening.

“This is the worst (snowfall) in the last few years,” he said. “It was normal back in the day. Now it’s an oddity all at one time.”

Brown is still “going strong” mentally and physically even with the call volume. The towing company has two driv-ers, but only one truck has 4x4 capability.

Brown’s advice is to slow down when driv-ing or don’t go out if you don’t have to. He urged residents to let city crews

He added that resi-dents should also slow down on the highway when passing a tow

-ing hazard lights. Even in snowy weather, motor-ists have zipped past him still driving 100 km/h in-stead of 60 km/h. Just being neighbourly

Many residents have been Good Samaritans and have helped dig out, push out or pull out res-idents, either stuck in snow or needing a side-walk cleared.

On the Melville Ad-vance’s Facebook page, Shirley Schlechter com-mended Ken Klus for his support. While she and her husband have been busy helping stuck vehi-cles, Klus picked up their granddaughter from school for lunch.

Sch lechter a lso thanked Dave Hoffman for using his snowblower to clear their driveway.

“Due to having this big snowfall, my hus-band hasn’t been able to go back to work. He tried helping me get my bus out (in the) morn-ing,” wrote Glenna Gies-brecht. “After getting stuck three times this morning, the City of Mel-ville ended up digging me out with their front loader. I thank them for that … .

“We should all give a big thanks to the City of Melville for helping each

other out. They are doing the best that they can do.”Be patient with the city

The public works de-partment is clearing the emergency routes first

and ambulance can get to calls if necessary, said Andrew Fahlman, director of public works. These routes include Prince Edward Street, roads around the hospi-tal, Seventh Avenue and First Avenue.

City crews have also focused on downtown so businesses can function. Public works will move to the side streets once the main thoroughfares are cleared.

“With the extreme amount of snowfall we do have, it is taking a long time to remove this snow,” said Fahlman. “When we get this kind of quantity in such a short period, it is hard to get everything as soon as possible.”

For equipment, the de-partment has one grader, a front-end loader with a snowblower, two loaders, a skid steer, two sidewalk machines with a blower and a rotating brush, two tandem trucks for haul-ing snow and two three-ton trucks.

Another loader is not functioning since it needs a new transmission.

Continued from Page 6this week for professional development. Every employee is on every available ma-chine the city owns. However, Fahlman pointed out the department has other maintenance obligations it must keep throughout the city.

For example, three employees must be sent to the lift stations throughout the week. Also, with the extreme cold winter Melville had, city staff is deal-ing with frozen sewers and waterlines. Some residential sewer lines are also freezing up due to lack of use.

“On Main Street and streets that

feet of frost right now down into the ground,” Fahlman said. “We are having to commit some staff to maintenance of our sewer lines so they don’t freeze up … .”

The public works department is doing the best it can, said Fahlman. The department doesn’t run its crews 24 hours a day. Crews began working

p.m., for 14 hours. They then needed eight hours off as mandated by provin-cial law. Staff began working again at 3 a.m. on March 6.

“My staff is very committed,” he added.

City administration intends to bring to city council a snow clearing bylaw that would make it easier for city crews to clear streets, by forcing residents not to park on those roads and designating certain streets as a snow route.

“We ask for people’s patience. We do the best we can with what we have,” added Fahlman. “To clear the streets in a day or two is not realistic.”

in this school year, Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) is 13 percentage points away from achiev-ing its year-end target of students in Grade 1 reading at or above grade level.

A reading assessment was administered to 406 Grade 1 students from Jan. 15 to Feb. 5, with results indicating 70 per cent — or 284 pupils — of those stu-dents are reading at grade level, said Quintin Rob-ertson, director of education, in the recent division newsletter.

This percentage is slightly higher than in 2016.Overall, the division reported that 72 per cent

of students in grades 1 to 6 are reading at or above grade level, positioning the division to meet its target of 83 per cent by this June. Davison School’s activity clubs

Davison School staff have not only focused on ac-ademics, but have created a sense of belonging and community among students and families by offering clubs and activities in which all students can partici-pate at lunch or after school, Robertson said.

Some of the activity-based clubs Davison offers in-clude a writers’ club, choir, SRC, Rising Stars read-ing club, Battle of the Books, cooking, arts and crafts, cross-country running, basketball, mini-volleyball, badminton, Spartan Fitness, and yoga.

Girl Power Club is open to girls in grades 5 and 6 to discuss age-relevant topics to strengthen their

to become healthy young adults in body, mind and spirit.

The Lunch Bunch Club creates an environ-ment to discuss issues relating to anxiety, mak-ing friends and empow-ering the students with a sense of belonging. Lunch Bunch is sepa-rated into a grades 1 to 3 group and a grades 4 to 6 group.

The sense of belong-ing is further enhanced through the monthly family pep rallies, where students are grouped with other grades and participate in activities that encourage interaction between all age groups from prekindergarten to Grade 6. Sigmund Brouwer brings stories to GSSD

Sigmund Brouwer has written 20 adult novels and dozens of children’s books. He visits more than 150 schools per year to deliver his Rock and Roll Literacy presentation, reaching 60,000 students per year.

Brouwer recently visited a number of GSSD schools — including Miller School and Grayson School — to deliver his captivating literacy presenta-

tion, said Robertson. Brouwer compared great stories to great music, saying they grab listeners’ attention and feelings.

The author believes humans connect through story, whether it’s everyday stories we tell each other or the stories we tell to entertain or evoke emotions and reactions. Brouwer wanted kids to think of books as portals to great stories, not dusty pages that feel like a chore to read.

Brouwer also wanted kids to discover the thrill of reading and writing. He told students that books are boring, but stories are exciting.

After the presentations, Brouwer visited several grades 3 and 4 classrooms that have participated in his Story Ninja program. The program includes 21 Story Ninja lessons combining information and vid-eos, as well as writing mechanics and conventions. These videos helped students add colour and depth to their stories.


GSSD has policy set for cancelling bus routes

Good Spirit close to achieving reading targets for Gr. 1 students

SubmittedWhether it’s freezing rain, extreme cold or deep

snow, Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) now has a bus transportation policy that dictates when a route might be cancelled.

Mechanical issues, the lack of spare drivers, ill-ness, or the weather are the main reasons the divi-sion might cancel a bus route for the day or several days, said Quintin Robertson, director of education, in the latest division newsletter.

Mechanical issues are often discovered when a driver performs a check around the entire bus before the morning route. If there are any defects on the bus, as SGI outlines, the bus cannot be used. The route will be cancelled if a spare bus cannot be found.

Regular bus drivers might have a medical or per-sonal reason requiring them to be away from the route, which means a spare driver cannot always be found to operate the route.

In cases where the entire division is experiencing poor or deteriorating weather, the director of educa-tion may cancel routes division-wide.

The division covers a large geographic area and weather conditions can vary within the division’s boundaries, said Robertson. In this case, drivers have to decide on their own or as a group if weather conditions present a risk in safely transporting stu-dents to and from school. If so, routes are cancelled.

A division administrative policy says temperature thresholds of -40 Celsius or -45 Celsius with the wind child means buses should not run.

In early March, GSSD cancelled many bus routes across the division — including 13 in and around

Melville — due to a massive amount of snow. In -

celled for three consecutive days due to icy road con-ditions from freezing rain.

With illnesses, if a driver wakes up sick in the morning and there is no time for a spare driver to be arranged, the route is cancelled.

When a route is cancelled, families can expect bus drivers to:• Contact families on the route with the information. This is done by voice call, text or with an automated messaging• Contact the transportation manager, who will update the website and social media with cancellation infor-mation• Contact GX94 radio with information about route cancellations• Contact the school(s) that students attend with the information

All bus cancellations are tracked, said Robertson, with the data reported to the board of education quarterly throughout the year.

Contimeud from Page 9to close the wage gap between men and women. It will apply to federal employers with 10 or more employees, and will apply to seasonal, temporary, part-time and full-time jobs.

Currently, women make 88 cents for every $1 of hourly wages a man earns, Wagantall said.

The word “gender” was mentioned 358 times in the federal budget. While Canadian women are “leaps and bounds ahead” of other countries, there is always more that could be done, said Wagantall. But it’s not clear if the Liberals are talking about equal pay for women doing the same work as men. Mismanaging money

The Liberal government plans to eliminate the troubled Phoenix pay system for federal employees,

new system and will spend $431.4 million over the

“They insisted on going ahead with it. We truly did say, ‘This is not ready, do not do this,’” said Wa-gantall. “But they went ahead and now the cost is ballooning to a billion dollars.”

While some newspapers in the constituency need help, Wagantall is wary of who is considered an NGO and how the federal government will direct money

The Liberals have proposed a national Phar-macare program, which is “taking the wind out of the NDP’s sails” and encouraging NDP voters to vote Liberal in 2019, Wagantall noted.

Former Ontario government health minister Eric Hoskins is leading a study of this $20-$23 billion pro-gram.

“Nothing good has come out of Ontario with man-aging money,” said Wagantall.

Instead, Wagantall would like to see more focus placed on assisting Canadians directly who struggle with purchasing prescriptions.

“There are ways to do it without having to ham-string the entire economy,” she continued. “They (federal and provincial governments) should be col-laborating on purchasing. That would make a huge difference for the cost of pharmaceuticals.” Helping veterans

The Liberals intend to introduce legislation that proposes pensions for life.

According to the federal budget, a 25-year-old retired corporal who is 100 per cent disabled would receive more than $5,800 a month. A 50-year-old re-tired major who is 100 per cent disabled would re-ceive almost $9,000 per month.

“The reality is, most of our service individuals who get severely injured are on the front lines and they don’t make it 25 years before they get injured,” said Wagantall. “So there’s a lot of concern in the veter-ans community of how unrealistic that is.

Wagantall added the federal government is still taking veterans to court even though the Liberals promised during the 2015 election they wouldn’t.

Local BusinessInsulating Your House

While previous generations may have been content to live in draft y houses, most people now want comfortable warm houses. A healthy house today is well sealed, well insulated and properly ventilated. If you are having trouble keeping the temperature of your home consistent or would like to save money on your energy bill call the professionals at Penner Insulating. Poor attic insulation is the no. 1 source of heat loss. Many older homes have insuffi cient attic insulation compared to today’s standards. Most people don’t even know they need attic insulation but by having it updated/replaced or adding to what they already have will help retain more heat in their home on cool days. A proper amount of insulation also keeps the house much cooler in the summer, not allowing the heat from the sun to penetrate your home. We serve residential, commercial, agricultural in Yorkton and the surrounding communities. Th e product we use is a high-quality blown-in insulation, which completely covers the attic fl oor, leaving no problem cracks and spaces like battinsulation does. Th is is the best method and the most economical way to insulate your attic. Call today for more information.

...Millionaires on winning streak

...D-man Eisler scores 20 goalsContinued from Page 11

son has 19 goals, and could quite possi-bly join Eisler in the 20-club. Thirteen of Morrison’s have come on the power play, and 12 of the 17 scored by Nipa-win’s Josh McDougall have come on the man advantage, which one would expect for a defenceman.

Morrison, with several years of WHL experience, is committed to Aca-dia (USPORT) and McDougall to Mer-cyhurst (NCAA Division I), while Eisler has yet to put pen to paper.

“Those two guys are obviously great players, and what McDougall did even last year and Morrison coming from the (WHL), they’re both very established. For me, I almost came out of nowhere and might have been off the radar for people. But I think now I’ve proven that I do deserve to be right up there with them.”

Morrison and McDougall are on

place in the Sherwood Division and the league all season, while Eisler and the Millionaires sit 10th in the 12-team SJHL. Eisler’s scored 13.4 per cent of Melville’s goals, compared to Mor-rison’s 8.4 per cent in Melfort, on a team that’s had a lot more offensive

production from their forward group.Side-note, this isn’t a piece to in anyway diminish the MVP-calibre seasonsof the two aforementioned defensemen,simply that Eisler has maybe slippedthrough the cracks to this point, some-thing his coach would agree on.

“All year I’ve said he’s the most un-derrated defenseman in the league,”said Millionaires’ coach and generalmanager Devin Windle. “This leaguehas some unbelievable players and

the last two seasons but the leap he hastaken this year is really impressive andit’s nice to see other coaches and peoplewithin the league take notice of that.There’s been a lot of interest in him fornext year from various different col-leges and leagues. He’ll be a real pleas-ant surprise for whoever gives him thatshot.”

Eisler says if an NCAA DivisionI offer comes his way he would be allears, but so far he is leaning towardstaying north of the border, in theACAC or USPORT.

Continued from Page 11The winning streak is a product of

the hard work players have put in, their development and the continuity in the lineup.

“We’re past the trade deadline,” Windle said. “We have our players here that are part of our team and we’ve been able to build the chemistry within the group.”

Melville hosted Estevan on March 7, but game information was unavailable by press time.

Melville Millionaires 3 at York-ton Terriers 1 (March 3)

This was a solid game against the Terriers, said Windle. He commended his defence and goaltender Colby Entz for allowing only one goal. That goal, though, came on the penalty kill, which is something the team doesn’t like to see happen.

“But you look at what we did in that game and we controlled the play,” he added.

Melville’s Logan Foster, Taylor Elmy and Montana Streit each scored a goal, while Damian Bentz, Daniel Liberty, Dayton Heino, Streit and Tyler Millar each had one assist.

Entz stopped 28 of 29 shots he faced. Yorkton Terriers 3 at Melville

“We were absolutely the betterteam,” Windle said. The win was anentire group effort and every player contributed to the victory.

Mils’ netminder Brandon Wellsstopped 23 of 26 shots he faced.

“Those in life, who complain, and blame, are always ready to take a bite out of us,” I told Ed, my old neighbour in Saskatchewan. “With some folks no matter what you have done or failed to do, they will make sure you hear about it,” I added.

Ed said there might be some valid reason to com-plain about me, as he never found it too hard to

course, I told him the feeling was not mutual. I asked Ed if he had heard of the saying by Will

Bowen about complaining: “Not likely,” he said. So, I told him, what Bowen said: “Complaining is like bad breath, you notice it when it comes out of somebody else’s mouth, but not your own.”

My old neighbour informed me that it is better to complain about someone to his face than it is to compliment him. Ed claims that if you give a person a word of praise his head will swell and he will think too highly of himself.

In the Bible, the Israelites seemed to have had good reason to grumble about their situation. They had been given permission to leave Egypt and follow Moses, and then the Pharaoh changed his mind and came after them with the Egyptian army of horses and chariots. The Israelites could see the Egyptians behind them coming to attack. Ahead they were coming to a dead end at the Red Sea. They were in-deed between the devil and the deep blue sea with no place to escape.

They were afraid and turned to complaining and grumbling against Moses. They accused their leader of bringing them out into the wilderness to be killed by the Egyptian army. Moses told them that they

and other people. It is not wrong to trust ourselves or others, but circumstances come up that we cannot control. We may not be facing an advancing army, but other things as deadly, such as disease, accident, addiction, or any number of problems aimed at the death of our body, mind, and soul.

It is wise to trust in God for He goes before us in life and seeks to help, and guide us, and rescue us when we are in danger. Moses told the Israel-ites when they were complaining, grumbling, and blaming him for the advancing army coming against

March is Nutrition Month in Canada. This year’s cam-paign is dedicated to Unlock the Potential of Food. Our diet plays a very important part in our health. The right foods in the right amounts with less emphasis on sugar and salt can go a long way to keeping us healthy. About 52 per cent of Canadians live with a chronic disease (obesity, dia-betes, heart disease, high blood pressure). What we eat can be a cause of these diseases as well as impacting their progression. Hearing loss is often accept-ed as “just part of getting older.” However, long-term studies are showing that those with impaired hearing have a greater risk of de-mentia. There are various theories for this including social isolation where people with hearing prob-lems tend to avoid social situ-ations. If you feel this might be you, have your hearing checked soon by a registered audiologist. It could change your life. With the coming legalizing of marijuana in Canada, us-ers of the drug should be aware of the drug interactions that may occur with other drugs they are taking causing an increase in dizziness and sedation. Of course, those who smoke the drug could be making lung conditions like asthma worse. It’s important to consider drug interactions

Some people who are desperate to lose weight may be tempted to order “slimming products” online; don’t. There is no guarantee what they contain and they may even con-tain banned ingredients. Reported side effects can include heart problems, blurred vision and diarrhea. There is no

JACKIE – Jean Marie (Olson) was born Sept. 2, 1922, in the Plainsview district, to Lewis and Anna Olson (Naseth). She died peacefully Feb-ruary 26, 2018, at St. Paul Lu-theran Home, Melville, at the age of 95 years. This is truly the end of an era for the Jackies and the Olsons. Jean attended Success School in the Plainsview district as a child and learned to dance at an early age. The neigh-bours took turns hosting weekly

and Jean learned by example. Her love of dancing carried right through her twilight years, as she danced with her walker (and later in her wheelchair) at St. Paul Lutheran Home. Jean also had a fondness for animals, and at age seven or eight, she looked after an or-phaned baby bear, which was later sent to the Winnipeg Zoo. She spoke of “her pet” fondly throughout her life. Jean married and raised

to knit, crochet, quilt, sew and upholster. She also enjoyed

becoming a “card shark.” She worked at St. Paul Lu-theran Home for many years,

laundry. That is why, when she became a resident there, she said she felt right at home. Life was not easy for Jean, but she never let it affect her. She saw the best in everyone and had oceans of patience. She effected change for the mentally handicapped with her tireless efforts for improvements for her own handicapped son. Jean loved to travel, taking bus tours to Las Vegas, Mex-ico, the Maritimes and Alaska, as well as trips to the Minot festival with friends. Her love of travelling continued on a smaller scale in St. Paul, as she walked the halls day and night. Jean was also proud of her Norwegian heritage. She loved to travel with her buddies to the Minot Norwegian Heritage Festival and to cook traditional Norwegian foods for her family, along with reciting Norwegian poems and listening to Norwe-gian music. She will be best remembered for her sweetness and sense of humour and get-ting away with playing pranks on her family and friends. Jean was predeceased by her parents, Lewis and Anna Olson; all of her siblings, her sons, Bob and Dale, and her daughter, Joan Olijnyk. She will live on in the hearts of her children, Elwyn “Butch” Jackie (Cindy Cole); Candy (Vern) Schick; granddaughter, Lori Olijnyk; grandson, Willie (Melonie) Olijnyk; and three great-grandchildren, Sophie, Max and Sam.

OTTENBREIT – Tony James, Nov. 27, 1920 - March 3, 2018. Passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 3, 2018 at St.

Tony was born on the family farm in Grayson and attended Flegel school. He married Olga (Magerl) in 1947. They had two children: a son, Greg and a daughter, Debbie. Tony farmed in the Grayson district and then moved on to manage a feedlot in Shellbrook. He returned to Melville in 1972 where he owned and operated a truck and worked in the aggre-gate industry until he retired at the age of 65. Tony was a very active man. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, dancing and play-ing cards. Time spent with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren meant the world to him. Tony was predeceased by his parents, Adam and Rose (Huber) Ottenbreit; two sisters, Clara Seibel and Theresa Sza-roz; and two brothers, Mike and Adam Ottenbreit. He is survived by his sister, Doreen Stradeski. He leaves

In Memory of Timothy Joseph Nagy, Dec. 3, 1967 – March 14, 2017. God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked upon the earth And saw your tired face He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest.

He always takes the best. He knew that you were struggling With the truth you thought you car-ried alone. Although your life on earth has ended, What you bravely tried to do lives on. He knew that you were in pain He knew that you were alone and would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough The end for you would not be fair, And the hills were hard to climb alone. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered “Peace be thine”. It broke my heart no one was there for you, But you did not go alone… For part of me went with you the day God called you home. –Lovingly remembered and sadly missed: brother, David, sister-in-law, Pat, nephews, Michael and Curtis, and Niece Aimee. 12-1p

SubmittedSGI has come to terms

on settlements with the operators of two liquor establishments that served Catherine McKay on the night she drove impaired and caused a collision that killed the

Van de Vorst family of Jordan, Chanda, Kam-ryn and Miguire in Jan-uary 2016.

SGI has reached out-of-court settlements with the Industrial Kitchen and Lounge Corporation, and MCDE Holdings Ltd., which operated the Crackers Licensed Cock-tail & Dining Room.

The terms of the set-tlement will not be dis-closed, as a condition of the agreement.

Testimony in McKay’s criminal proceedings revealed she had been served alcohol at both establishments and was observed by staff to be highly intoxicated.

SGI took legal action

in July 2017 to hold the two liquor estab-lishments accountable for not doing enough to prevent one of their customers from driving away from their busi-nesses highly impaired, resulting in the needless deaths of four innocent people. SGI intends to consider legal action in similar cases.

In July, SGI also filed a statement of claim against Cather-ine McKay, who is cur-rently incarcerated. No statement of defence

has issued a judgment against her. This judg-ment allows SGI to take action to collect the amounts paid out on this claim.

The Lemberg Inter-denominational choir members have been busy this month practising for their Easter Cantata that will be presented on March 25 in Balcarres at the BICC at 2:30 p.m., in Melville March 28 at Zion Lutheran Church, at 7:30 p.m. and on Good Friday at Lemberg Trin-ity Lutheran Church at 10:30 a.m. Local singers are Hun Chul Kim, Ron Brandow, Judy Hersh-miller and Vicky and Stephanie Paus.

Snow shovels, snow blowers and Bobcats were busy Monday morn-ing after the big snow-storm over the weekend. Many estimated we had approximately 10 to 12 inches of snowfall, which made the highways and streets impassable until everyone got busy and dug themselves out. The farmers however, will be pleased with the snow, which will supply much needed moisture on their
