Shellbrook ChronicleBig River FN opens Centre of Excellence

Sergeant Darby Morin’s sons Blue Sky and Christian Morin, cut the ribbon to offi cially open the Centre of Excellence named for their father. The ribbon cutters are fl anked by Violet and Veronica Morin on their left and FSIN Acting Chief Morley Watson and Big River First Nation Chief Bruce Morin.

Increased post secondary education op-portunities are abound on the Big River First Nation following the opening of the Sergeant Darby Morin Centre of Excellence Septem-ber 20.

The centre, named for a band member who died while serving in Afghanistan as a mem-ber of the US Army, will provide post second-ary opportunities ranging from commercial cooking to a Masters of Education program.

Morin’s widow, Veronica was on hand with their two sons Blue Sky and Christian to cut the ribbon on the new centre.

“He would be so honoured. I’m just imag-ining the look on his face. I think its more than he would have expected,” said Morin.

Big River First Nation Chief Bruce Morin said that the facility was born out of necessi-ty. They began offering some post secondary programing about 10 years ago but they had a diffi cult time providing a full-time home for the program. With a growing need for skilled labour and professionals, the reserve wanted increase its training opportunities.

Applications were made for funding to build a facility and the provincial govern-ment came through with $2.1 million in funding through the Community Develop-ment Trust Fund (CDTF). In all, the project cost came to $2.7 million with $400,000 coming from the band coffers.

The project not only provides long term training and employment opportunities but it also made for more than 9,000 person hours of employment for community mem-bers.

Project initiation, project management and fi nancial accounting services came through the Thickwood Hills Business Learning Net-work.

The Centre of Excellence contains a com-puter laboratory and two large classrooms with distance education capacity and on-site programs delivered by the University of Sas-katchewan and other institutions. An ITEP Bachelor of Education program is wrapping up this spring while a Master of Education program will begin in January. The centre also offers the fi rst two years of a Registered Nursing degree program which has 42 stu-dents currently enrolled.

The centre also offers commercial cooking directed at camp work, a laundry and a sew-ing centre. A restaurant and catering service will be operated out of the school to help off-set the building’s operating costs.

Celebration forWedding

A long time community volunteer was once again recognized for his contri-butions to Shellbrook and region at a Saskatoon cer-emony last week. .

Richard Porter received the Queen’s Diamond Jubi-lee medal at ceremony at the Delta Bessborough in Saska-toon, September 19.

Ceremony emcee, Sas-katchewan Chief of Protocol Jason Quilliam read this about Porter, “For many years, Mr. Richard Porter has devoted his time and energy to his community, province, country, and hu-manity. He has been a busi-nessman, leader and a men-tor; and is well respected by everyone who has had the opportunity to know and work with him. He has sup-ported more than 25 boards and committees over the years. Mr. Porter’s motto is “Think Global, Act Local.”

Porter found out that he was chosen to receive the honour after receiving a let-ter from Premier Brad Wall’s offi ce requesting his pres-

ence at the event. “It was a good feeling. You

kind of accept it on behalf of all the organizations that you’ve worked with and the people you’ve worked with,” said Porter.

Porter is most noted lo-cally as the long time fund raising chair for the Shell-brook and Districts Health Services Project. Through this organization he was in-strumental in fund raising efforts for a new Shellbrook Hospital while also lobby-ing government to grant approval for a facility to be built.

“I fought lots of battles for (the Shellbrook Hospital) for quite a few years. The good part is that we won. I don’t mind a battle as long as I can win it,” said Porter.

During Porter’s tenure as Reeve of the RM of Can-wood, the RM built the province’s only Specifi c Risk Material pit at the Highway 55 land fi ll.

Porter has also been a director of the Saskatch-ewan Association of Rural

Municipalities (SARM) and also served as Transporta-tion Chair of the Clearing the committee – a body re-sponsible for establishing a network of primary weight roads throughout the prov-ince.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee began in February 2012, in celebration of the 60 year reign of Queen Eliz-abeth II.

The Royal Canadian Mint created 60,000 medals, which will be awarded to outstanding Canadians of all ages and from all walks of life, across the country.

“The Queen has chosen the theme of service for this milestone year, and so it is most appropriate that Cana-da created a Diamond Jubi-lee Medal, which celebrates both Her Majesty’s lifetime of service and the outstand-ing contributions of deserv-ing citizens,” Solomon Scho-fi eld said.

“On behalf of our sover-eign, I thank each medal recipient for their commit-ment to the greater good.”

Running the ball

Our government’s focus continues to be the econo-my. We are particularly in-terested in keeping money where it belongs – in the pockets of hard-working Ca-nadians.

Our Harper government has introduced numer-ous measures designed to provide tax relief for fami-lies, providing more money for active lifestyles, public transportation, education and savings.

Among the initiatives brought to the fore by our government is the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, which provides a tax credit of up to $500 relating to the cost of registering a child for physi-cal activities such as hockey, baseball, dance or gymnas-tics. This program not only saves money for families but also encourages physical activity among our youth, a vital part of childhood de-velopment.

Another fundamental ele-ment in a child’s growth is the nurturing of creativity. The ability to express one-self through art and litera-

ture is a crucial component in the formation of a fully re-alized adult. The Children’s Art Tax Credit provides $500 in tax relief for artistic, cultural, recreational or de-velopmental activity.

The Public Transit Tax Credit encourages the use of public transportation with a tax credit for those who pur-chase passes of one month or longer, rewarding the use of shared conveyance and bringing its resultant benefi t to the environment.

The Tuition, Education and Textbook Tax Credits provide relief for post-sec-ondary students and their families, as well as appren-tices and those who must pay to complete certifi ca-tion examinations. Con-sidering the cost of educa-tion, every dollar counts for students and their families and an additional exemp-tion is provided in regard to scholarships, fellowships and bursaries, ensuring that these bestowments are not counted as taxable in-come.

The Student Loan Tax Credit provides tax relief on the interest paid on loans by post-secondary educa-tion, a signifi cant measure in putting graduates on the right path following their schooling.

The Registered Educa-tion Savings Plan provides incentives for investment in post-secondary educa-tion by giving tax relief to amounts set aside for this purpose.

With programs geared toward post-secondary education we can ensure that Canada remains on the forefront of innovation and the modern economy. By keeping money in the pock-ets of taxpayers, we im-prove life for all Canadians.

As always, I look forward to your letters, e-mails and calls. Write me at: Rob Clarke MP, House of Com-mons, 502 Justice Building, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A6. I hope you will fi nd time to visit my website http://www.robclarkemp.ca

TOWN OF SHELLBROOK CLEAN-UP WEEKS

The Town of Shellbrook has declared the weeks of October 3rd to October 13th, 2012

as Clean-Up Weeks. The Town’s landfi ll site will be open on Wednesdays, October 3rd and October 10th from Noon to 8:00 pm as well as on Saturdays, October 6th and Oc-tober 13th from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm to receive only the following: clean wood, and compost such as leaves, grass clippings, garden refuse and tree trimmings. Residents of the Town of Shellbrook will not be charged the regular landfi ll access fee during these four days. Should residents of the Town not be able to get their excess materials to the landfi ll with their own resources, Delbert Grimm is pre-pared to pick it up for a fee. Please make arrangements by calling 747-3637 for pickup arrangements.

Continued from page 1According to Chief Mo-

rin, the centre will allow the fi rst nation to stretch their post secondary education budget.

“It costs money to send kids to the city and by bringing it here we are able to stretch our dollar further and get more people into post secondary programs,” said Chief Morin.

Approximately $1 million is budgeted annually for band members attending post secondary institutions.

Typically that budget al-lows 75 to 80 band mem-bers to attend university but it is expected that with more students attending school on reserve more youth will have the oppor-tunity to go to school.

With students staying on reserve to take advantage of local opportunities, they are able to cut out the cost of rent and travel.

Current programing draws band members from surrounding fi rst nations and are open aboriginals and non-aboriginals alike.

“We’ve been trying to get the message out that this is not just for the people of Big River First Nation, it is for

the surrounding reserves and the surrounding com-munities,” said Chief Mo-rin.

Acting Chief of the Fed-eration of Saskatchewan In-dian Nations (FSIN) Morley Watson believes that the on reserve model will not only help students get into school but also complete their program.

“A lot of times, when our young people go to train in the cities there is the transition, there’s housing shortages, there’s so many issues. But if we have them right here in our First Na-tion communities it betters he chances of successful completion of the different trades that they are going to be offering here,” said Act-ing Watson.

Various dignitaries from the provincial government and FSIN attended the grand opening event and brought greetings from their respective organiza-tions.

“This facility will assist local people in developing and improving their skills and training to contribute to the local economy and help them seize the oppor-tunities available in our province today,” Saskatch-ewan Rivers MLA Nadine Wilson said on behalf of Economy Minister Bill Boyd.

“Big River First Nation is leading the way in diversify-ing economic growth in the region and the Government of Saskatchewan is happy to support this project.”

Charges laid in 2001 homicide

OPINIONOPINION4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com September 28, 2012

It has taken more than a year but the fi rst of the 2011 Stanley Cup rioters who were charged for their part in the destruction of downtown Vancouver are being brought to justice... well sort of.

Alexander Pennington, 22, was caught on tape re-peatedly entering The Bay store to grab tables and

ad banners to add to the chaotic destruction out on the street. He was also viewed stealing perfume from a London Drugs store on a couple of occasions while store staff had locked themselves in a basement secu-rity in fear of the rioters.

For his role in the riot, Pen-nington got a six month condi-tional sentence and two years of probation.

In other words, he has to make sure he doesn't get caught doing anything stupid that would get him thrown in jail to avoid hav-ing his initial sentence tacked onto that.

I say, way to go judge. Way to instill fear into the hearts of those who may fi nd themselves caught up in a similar situation where everybody's doing it and there seem to be no conse-quences.

This judge basically proved that there really weren't any. A conditional sentence gives the offender a pass for what they did. Sure they come out of the situation with a criminal record and the conditions of the sen-tence and accompanying probation may cramp their

lifestyle, if they abide by them, but that is the extent of their punishment.

Some may see it as the close call that made them realize that their decisions have conse-quences while others may look at it as a freebee.

Giving this kid a week in jail, combined with probation, and there's a pretty darn good chance that this guy isn't go-ing to make the same mistake. He's going to get out of jail after seven days of avoiding contact with other inmates and seven nights of crying himself to sleep and tell his friends about the worst week of his life.

Hopefully that would reso-nate with the crowd and they all decide to never do some-thing so stupid again.

But with the conditional sentence this guy gets to go home to his mom's base-ment, play some Call of Duty and laugh with his bud-dies while reminiscing about trashing stores,burning stuff in a fl ame engulfed car and how he almost went to jail.

I'm not saying that property crimes, such as this, are not worthy of conditional sentences. I'm saying that sentences like these for crimes such as this one are sending the wrong message. One of the basic pur-poses of incarceration is to prevent would-be crimi-nals from breaking the law. With that off the table, where is the deterrent?

The Vancouver Stanley Cup riot happened because the participants felt they could get away with it.

This particular verdict proved them right.

No deterrent in a conditional

sentence

Saskatchewan's tight employment market

BRAD

DUPUIS

~News

Editor

No wonder employers are having a tough time fi nding people to fi ll jobs – especially those re-quiring unique skills or training.

A new report from StatsCan compares the number of jobs available in a region and the number of unemployed people available to fi ll them. And on this key indicator, Saskatchewan has one of the tightest markets in the country.

Here’s a comparison. For every unfi lled job in Newfoundland, there are 10 people seeking em-ployment. In Saskatchewan that number is less than two. To put it another way, there are 14,000 unfi lled jobs and 27,000 people who are consid-ered unemployed.

Given geography, skill sets and the like, it is little wonder employers are having trouble fi nding workers as the Sas-katchewan unfi lled job rate is the second highest in Cana-da, just a fraction behind Alberta.

In the year since the last report, Saskatchewan employ-ers created roughly 6,000 new unfi lled jobs but the un-tapped pool of potential workers actually dropped by 500. That made the market for new workers even tighter, leaving employers scrambling to secure additional talent.

* * *The problem with national or even provincial forecasts is

that they are just too general.An updated outlook for the provincial economy issued

by the economics unit at RBC Royal Bank painted a fairly upbeat picture of the province’s farm economy this year. They cited expectations of a larger than average crop which would lift the overall Saskatchewan economy and offset some softness on the resource front.

Like most economists, the bank relied on a StatsCan forecast for the grain crop which looked pretty good, es-

pecially from the satellite images that showed a healthy stand across the prairies.

But now that farmers have the combines in the fi eld, there are some discrepancies, particularly in the east-central area where promising stands did not turn into full hoppers. Calls from area producers indicate some fi elds with less than 10 bushels of canola per acre. Add to that the big winds that blew swaths around and the problem was compounded.

In a province the size of Saskatchewan, there is bound to be big differences in crops from one region to the next. 2012 is a year for just that.

* * *One in fi ve retired Canadians received a month or less

notice that they would be put out to pasture.That is one of the surprising fi ndings of a major study

into the preparation Canadians have or are making for their retirement years.

It turns out the word that you’re retiring is coming some-what unexpectedly for a considerable portion of the popu-lation. Of those 20 per cent who retired on either no notice or a month’s, half didn’t expect it.

The next group – those who had up to six months notice – accounted for another 20 per cent of the population and about a third of those didn’t expect it.

Only one-in-ten gets fi ve years notice so the idea that mandatory retirement age is a trigger point may not be on the mark. For some, retirement came ahead of schedule be-cause of health reasons, they had to become a care giver or, of course, their employer decided. But 38 per cent of the respondents said they were given no choice in the matter which makes saving enough to fund a decent retirement mission critical, regardless of age.

YESTERYEAR~

What you want out of a politician is really the same thing you want out of a neighbour or friend.

You want someone you can count on _ someone you can really depend on when the chips are down. You want someone who has your back _ someone who doesn’t bail because a situation gets tough, but sticks up for you when maybe it might be more con-venient to do otherwise.

Saskatchewan Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart strikes you as the kind of guy that would likely be a pretty good friend and neighbour. In fact, I’m guessing that those who live near his Pense-area farming and ranching operation would likely agree.

As my colleague Leader-Post Finance Editor Bruce Johnstone recently wrote: Stewart “doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to expressing how he really feels about things. Just ask the poor slob who tried to steal Stewart’s government-issue Taurus sedan a few years ago.” Like any good friend or neighbour, you want a poli-tician who doesn’t pull any punches _a stand-up person who doesn’t try to weasel out of tough situations. And when it comes to standing up for rural Saskatchewan, there’s a big difference right now between Stewart and his federal MP counterparts.

At issue is the “Growing Forward 2 farm program funding agreement” that was recently approved in Whitehorse by federal, provincial and territorial agricul-ture ministers.

Even before leaving for the Whitehorse meeting, Stew-art expressed his reluctance to the new agreement. Stew-art explained to reporters in Regina that Saskatchewan’s agriculture stakeholder groups had problems with some of the then-proposed changes and questioned whether others had done same level of consultation with their stakeholders. The problems seems to centre around pro-posed changes to the AgriInvest program _ the popular rainy day program in which 90 per cent of Saskatchewan producers have invested. Stewart and Saskatchewan pro-ducers didn’t want changed.

As problematic, however, was Ontario’s pref-erence for current AgriStability income support program that the Agricultural Producers As-sociation of Saskatchewan (APAS) simply want scrapped. Instead, Ottawa and others preferred changes to the program where the trigger for pay-outs would be raised to 85 per cent of a produc-ers’ income instead of current 70 per cent. (The move reduce payments by as much as $411 mil-lion a year _ a saving to the federal government of $1.3-billion.)

Well, after returning in Whitehorse, Saskatch-ewan’s agriculture minister candidly expressed his distaste for backroom deals he witnessed that resulted in these changes being a done deal. He said it felt like he “ate something rotten.”

The result of this horse-trading saw the feds reduce its contributions to AgriInvest to one per cent of producers’ allowable net sales.

As one might expect from a good neighbour, friend _ or perhaps even a good politician _ Stewart fought gamely for rural Saskatchewan’s interest. Sadly, the same can not be said for federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz whose interest seem mostly to be Prime Minister Stephen Harp-er’s directive to reduce federal costs.

This is a re-occuring theme in federal politics these days. Yes, the Conservatives have pushed all the right buttons when it comes to easier issues like getting rid of the Liberals’ gun registry and implementing tougher sen-tencing for criminals.

But when it our MPs support programs for rural Sas-katchewan like the Indian Head tree farm, federal com-munity pastures and now the AgriIvest and AgriStability funds, Ritz and other Saskatchewan Conservative MPs have not stood up for this province.

And now we’re now hearing federal MPs and Conser-vative are supporters tell us that support for rural Sas-katchewan may get worse if we seem federal boundary changes if we have more exclusively urban ridings in Sas-katchewan? This isn’t what one would expect from a neighbour, friend or politician. The feds could learn a lot from someone like Stewart.

Editor:I found the front page article “Reserve Schools Await

Funding” (SP August 5, 2012) to be yet another reminder of the short sightedness of the “devolution to band operation of schools” direction taken by successive federal governments starting in the 1960s.

Initially the Canadian government and churches part-nered to run residential schools in Canada. Subsequently, the government operated day schools on reserves. Among other things, a principal objective of these schools, both residential and day schools, was to assimilate First Nations People into European values and standards. We have now learned that efforts in this regard produced serious residen-tial schools’ abuse cases.

In addition, we are continuously hearing of scandals when it comes to the mismanagement of funds by Chiefs and Councils and band administrations across Canada, and somewhat sympathize with the federal government being understandably cautious when it comes to writing cheques to First Nations for anything including schools’ management, especially when First Nations Chiefs and Councils and ad-ministrators object to being transparent and accountable for the funds. But, our federal government and all of us should not let our vision be so clouded in this regard as to lose sight of another equally if not more important factor. It should be termed the proverbial “elephant in the living room.”

Increasingly, Canadian employers are looking abroad for skilled employees. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of First Nations People are right here - but without the fun-damental skills that employers want.

From the youngest ages, most Canadian youths learn to see schooling as the route to “the good life” for themselves. On the other hand, First Nations youths and their parents and extended family members do not see schools in the same way. As a result and in spite of heroic efforts by school staffs, their school attendance and performance is not good. They grow up to be unskilled, unemployable, dysfunctional and destined to live in poverty with virtually no stake in liv-ing by Canadian society’s standards and laws.

Consequently they cost the federal government as well as provincial and municipal governments vastly dispropor-tionate amounts in policing and social assistance resources.

I submit that while the turning over of management (termed “devolution) of on-reserve affairs by the federal government to First Nations was and may remain somewhat justifi able, management of reserve schools by First Nations falls into a different category and should not have been in-cluded. It hasn’t worked and the federal government must intervene and take over schools on reserves.

Even if we have little moral conscience and patience in this regard, our simple understanding of economics should move us in another direction. For example, what’s the cost-benefi t difference between not spending what we currently spend through policing and social services for one First Na-tions person versus producing an employable, self-suffi cient and able-to-contribute member of society?

Report from the LegislatureOur government is taking action

in the wake of the tragic death of an 18-year-old girl killed while work-ing as highways f lag person. Ash-ley Dawn Richards was struck by a vehicle in an Orange Zone in Au-gust – a tragedy Premier Brad Wall described as a senseless loss caused by blatant disregard for the rules. The Province of Saskatchewan is partnering with the RCMP to im-prove safety in the Orange Zone.

The RCMP will conduct traf-fic enforcement blitzes targeting highway construction zones. Our government will announce further measures in the coming weeks.

Motorists are required by law to slow to 60 kilometres an hour where Orange Zone signs are up and workers are present. Fines start at $140 and increase by two dollars for every km/h over the speed limit up to 90 km/h.

For speeds in excess of 90 km/h, the fine increases

by four dollars for every km/h above the speed limit.

Your Saskatchewan Party govern-ment is keeping our promise to im-prove access to health care in rural and remote communities.

We met recently with a delegation from Nova Scotia about a new model of care they are using to do just that – Collaborative Emergency Centres, or CECs. CECs combine primary and emergency care.

In Nova Scotia, they are typically open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

During the day, CECs offer prima-ry health care provided by a team of professionals, including doctors and nurses. At night, the team includes a registered nurse and a paramedic with physician oversight.

We see the Nova Scotia model as an innovative way to meet the needs of rural and remote communities by improving access to services, reducing wait times and

same or next-day appointments. With f lu season just around the corner, our govern-

ment has announced the return of the annual inf luenza vaccine program. Over the next couple weeks, the vac-cine will become available across the province at public health clinics and doctor’s offices. The vaccine is rec-ommended for high risk groups such as:

• People with chronic health conditions;• Anyone 65 and over;• Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care

facilities;• Children between the ages of six months and five-

years-old;• Pregnant women; and• People in close contact with any of the above groups.To find the nearest immunization clinic, please con-

tact your doctor’s office, call HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002, or check out the websites of regional health au-thorities.

For more information on the provincial immunization program and inf luenza, visit theMinistry of Health’s website at www.health.gov.sk.ca or the HealthLine’s website at www.healthlineonline.ca.

Changes to government programs may not make the gradeThe vision of what government thinks is a good farm

safety net and what farmers desire still seem to be decid-edly different, not that that is particularly shocking.

But governments keep trying nevertheless.Earlier this month federal, provincial and territorial

(FPT) Ministers of Agriculture reached agreement on the content of the Growing Forward 2 policy framework for the agriculture, agri-food and agri-products sector, the lat-est in a long line of government cost-shared ag safety nets which all ultimately seem to be lacking.

"The new fi ve-year agreement includes investments in strategic initiatives of over $3 billion for innovation, com-petitiveness and market development, including a 50 per cent increase in governments' cost-shared initiatives. In addition, governments will continue to deliver a complete and effective suite of Business Risk Management (BRM) programs to ensure farmers are protected against severe market volatility and disasters," detailed an Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada release.

"Just as farmers continuously improve their business practices, so too have governments made adjustments to help Canada remain a world leader in agricultural inno-vation and trade," said Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz in the release.

"Growing Forward 2 will help drive economic growth and long-term prosperity through agricultural innovation and market development, while also ensuring governments continue to share the risk of severe market volatility and disasters."

Of course you would not expect Ritz to do less than rave

about an agreement he was a signato-ry too. No politician admits the short-fall within their program.

Even with the Gross Revenue In-surance Program (GRIP) of the late 1980s, which was one of the most maligned farm support programs ever formulated, politicians of the day would have called it the answer to farmers needs.

Certainly aspects of the program have to be seen as positive. Even GRIP had its positives. In the case of the Growing Forward 2 initiative the additional 50 per cent funding for in-novation, competitiveness and market

development has to be a good thing. There is an obvious benefi t to being innovative, although not all innovation works either.

Pea-based snack chips, fl ax fi bre for manufacturing pro-cesses, super-compressed hay bales for export to Japan, and strawboard all ideas that were innovative and made logical sense but could not make money in the marketplace.

So having government footing some of the bills in explor-ing new ideas and developing markets is a good place for some taxpayer investment.

But others see fl aws before the ink is even dry on the deal. The "announcement of the revised Growing Forward 2 Business Risk Management (BRM) programs, the cost-shared federal-provincial policy framework, has two sig-

nifi cant changes: a loss level trigger for AgriStability that will make it diffi cult, if not impossible, for most farms to obtain support under the program; and a clear decision by governments to seek out private insurance options to fi ll the gaps in public farm safety net programs," stated a Na-tional Farmers Union release.

In the release NFU Terry Boehm said, “from these changes, along with the ongoing destruction of institu-tional arrangements that have protected farmers, it is in-creasingly clear that the current government’s intent is to abandon public support for the agriculture sector, and in-stead let those with the most market power determine the shape and goals of Canada’s food and agriculture system.” He added, “By going along with the federal government’s proposals, provincial governments have also signaled that they are not interested in the vibrancy of the agricultural community, nor does it matter to them who produces the food that Canadians eat.”

And therein lies the rub for governments. Farming by its very nature is extremely diverse, and becoming more diverse all the time. What works for a salmon farmer in British Columbia may not work for a wheat grower in Sas-katchewan, a beef farmer in Alberta, or a potato farmer in Prince Edward Island.

So what does that mean for the latest deal?Like its predecessors it will work for many farmers in

many situations.It will also have holes, which means some farmers will

need support and will fall through the cracks.Time will tell just how many holes the new deal has.

Fall is the time for soil testingBY LYNDON HICKS, REGIONAL CROPS SPECIALIST

Fall is an excellent time for soil testing. It gives the pro-ducer more time to assess their 2013 fertilizer management plan without compromising soil test accuracy.

Fall soil sampling generally gives enough time to sample the fi elds, order nitrogen fertilizer, and fall-band before the soil freezes up. Producers, who apply all their fertilizer in the spring, can continue soil testing late into the fall.

After mid-September, soil nutrients can be accurately mea-sured.

The availability of soil nutrients fl uctuates with many fac-tors, including soil temperature. It’s preferable to wait until the soil temperature has cooled to below ten degrees Celsius. When the soil cools down, the mineralization of nitrogen (N) also slows down considerably. Mineralization is the process whereby N in organic form is converted to plant-available form by soil microbial activity. The time of sampling is less critical for soil phosphate (P2O5), potassium (K2O), and oth-er nutrients.

Soil testing involves three steps: collecting, analyzing, and recommending. At its most basic, soil testing involves collect-ing soil samples that best represent that fi eld; choosing a lab to analyze; and developing nutrient recommendations from the analysis.

Getting the most from a soil test requires collecting a repre-sentative soil sample, identifying a laboratory whose analysis and recommendation philosophy conforms with the produc-ers’ nutrient management objectives, and providing that labo-ratory with all the pertinent information they require.

Tips to successful fall soil testing:1) Know your fi eld history - make sure your sample is rep-

resentative. 2) Take enough samples - Min 15-20 per quarter. May need

more if fi eld is highly variable.3) Keep the sample cool - Send to lab as soon as possible

while maintaining a stable cool temperature.4) Avoid hot spots - a hot spot refers to a small pocket of soil

with high nutrient densities. 5) Contact your lab of choice prior to sampling - different

labs have different protocols and sampling techniques. The analysis techniques and recommendation philosophies

differ with each individual laboratory. However, they all use the best technology and information required to analyze and make recommendations.

The quality of the laboratory analysis and the accu-racy of the recommendations will depend on the qual-ity of the soil sample and the information the producer provides about that field, including the previous crop grown and crop selection options for the next growing season.

CWB has expanded all grade and protein bands for farmer deliveries of hard red spring wheat and durum to its pools. Farmers will now fi nd it easier to choose their contracted grade, and face signifi cantly less risk of misgrade on deliver-ies. All current grade bands have been adjusted, and protein bands are now much wider. A new chart outlining the deliv-erable bands and payment ranges has been posted on the CWB Web site under the "Farmers" tab (www.cwb.ca/edp). However, CWB advises that accurate contracting will assist farmers with delivery opportunity and help ensure smooth service at the elevator. There is no charge for producers to change contracts to improve grade or protein accuracy with-in the deliverable band.

CWB reminds farmers that sign-up for its Early Delivery Pool will close this week.

This pool provides farmers with an opportunity for ear-lier guaranteed delivery (before January 31) and earlier fi nal payment, as well as all the benefi ts that pooling can provide in a volatile marketplace.

Farmers who pool their grain continue to benefi t if prices rise after they sign their contracts. CWB experts handle all sales planning, execution, foreign exchange, risk manage-ment and guarantees payments on behalf of participating farmers - all in one simple contract.

Gold Rush in Canwood8 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com September 28, 2012

The Canwood Community Public School hosted the Saskatchewan High School Ath-letic Association’s Provincial Sand Green Golf Championship on September 21st and 22nd. The weather co-operated with blue skies as the province’s sand green golfers as-sembled at the Canwood Regional Park golf course. Golfers from Canwood, Strasbourg, Waldheim, Bengough, Fronteir, Hanley, Fort Qu’Appelle, Hodgeville, Grenfell, Dinsmore, Mossbank and Raymore attended the 2 day, 36 hole event. The weekend began with teams playing practice rounds on Thursday. Participants were greeted on Friday morning with a pancake breakfast ,followed by open-ing ceremonies. The ceremonies consisted of introductions of the participants, welcomes from the SHSAA Executive Director Kevin Vollet, Principal Harriet Tomporowski and Sask. Rivers School Division superintendent Alan Nunn. Bob Thompson was also award-ed the SHSAA’s Outstanding Coach Award at the opening ceremonies. After the opening 18 holes, the golfers attended a banquet at the school gym. Everyone re-assembled on Saturday morning for the 10am shotgun start to begin Day 2. After the last putt was made

on Saturday the medals were awarded. In the Female Individual category, Paige Ben-son from Canwood posted the low score of 190. This earned her the Gold medal. The Silver and Bronze medals went to Amanda Gonsch of Strasbourg and Dakota Christie from Grenfell. The Male Individual category was a Canwood sweep. Nik Person’s score of 162 topped the fi eld which gave him the gold medal. Brennan Tomporowski was awarded the silver medal with a score of 169. Ste-ven Adrian needed a par on the 36th hole to pull him into a tie for the bronze medal with Dinsmore’s Daniel Martin. Their score was 171. The Team Event went to the Canwood team. Their gold medal combined score was 680. Team silver went to Strasbourg with a 716 and the bronze went to Dinsmore with their score of 800. The Championship went off without a hitch. This was mainly due to the great support of volunteers who acted as facilitators that were assigned to each four-some, students who matted the greens for the golfers, and volunteers who assisted with the breakfast and the banquet. The Canwood Community Public School greatly appreci-ates the assistance of these people.

The Canwood Community Public School’s grade 12 class embarked upon their annual canoe trip to Kingsmere Lake and Grey Owl’s cabin during the Labour Day Weekend. 10 students and 3 chaperones loaded up the trucks at 7am on August 31 and travelled up to the Prince Albert National Park.

After a brief session at the park offi ce, the group loaded up the canoes on the portage headed north onto Kingsmere Lake. The fi rst night was spent at Bladebone Bay on the northwest corner of the lake. The east wind on Saturday morning gave the canoers a test of their paddling skills. The students manoeuvered their canoes through the 2 ½ foot waves to get to the North End campsite. After the camp was

set up, everyone made their way to Grey Owl’s cabin. The fi shing was great which allowed everyone to have their fi ll later on.

The rain and the wind picked up later in the day. A web of tarps was tied in the trees to guard against the south wind and rain showers coming off of the lake. The adverse weath-er continued throughout Sunday. Monday’s paddle began into wind and big waves.

After a challenging 2 hour paddle to the west of the lake, the shoreline offered shelter from the wind. The last night was spent at South End. The trip concluded Tuesday after-noon back at school with everyone being tired and smelling of campfi res.

The Prince Parkland RHA board of directors heard about efforts to enhance the quality of care and patient experience in the Obstetrics Department at the Victoria Hospital dur-ing the regular meeting held September 12, 2012 in Prince Albert.

Angie Emmerson, the Nursing Unit Manager for the Ob-stetrics Department at the Victoria, outline challenges for patient care, including space and patient room capacity, acuity of care, high-risk patients and training new staff.

With the focus on patient safety and quality of care, Em-merson said physicians and staff are working on improved medication reconciliation (knowing what medications pa-tients are taking, and ensuring accuracy at all steps of care); patients and family centred care (such as fl exible visiting hours) and; safe sleep policies for newborns.

“One area that is a major concern is the lack of prena-tal care,” Emmerson told the board of directors. “Moms are coming in that have had very little or no prenatal care, which creates challenges for them and our physicians and staff members.”

She said that improved access to prenatal care increases awareness about what patients can expect, which helps re-duce anxiety – especially for a fi rst pregnancy.

Other risk factors for care include:• Patients with pre-existing and gestational diabetes (as-

sisted by the Combined Diabetic Antenatal Clinic);• Patients with addictions, which often involves multidis-

ciplinary involvement including community resources to improve care for baby and mom;

• Obese patients; and• Young moms.One success Emmerson discussed was the partnership

with Family Futures, who work with their clients while they are in the hospital. This additional support benefi ts the mother, baby and family, and assists in the transition home. There has also been improvement through the Patient Care Coordinator Unit, which works with patients, particularly

high-risk patients, where additional community support is required.

* * *The RHA’s annual general meeting was held at the John

M. Cuelenaere Public Library in Prince Albert on the eve-ning of Sept. 12th. The meeting included a presentation by CEO Cecile Hunt on the Region’s 2011-2012 Annual Report to the Minister of Health, focused on the performance tar-gets including surgical wait times, patient satisfaction, pa-tient safety and staffi ng challenges for workplace safety.

During her presentation, Hunt also discussed the Region’s strategic priorities for the 2012-2013 fi scal year, and the alignment with provincial priorities. The priorities include:

• Enhancing Access to Primary Health Care;• First Line Managers Support in implementation of Con-

tinuous Quality Improvement;• Acute Care Patient Flow at the Victoria Hospital, to ad-

dress access for acute and surgical patients;• Safety initiatives for patients (Medication Reconcilia-

tion) and a staff safety plan; and• Information technology projects to support shared ser-

vices purchasing and human resources information systemsA second presentation by Pat Stuart, Vice-President of

Quality Management, discussed the Region’s Patient and Family Centered Care plan. This is focused on improving the patient experience and relationship with care provid-ers, as well as involving patients in the Region’s quality im-provement activities.

* * *Other notes from the regular board meeting include:* The Health Region has an operating defi cit of $1,227 as

of July 31, 2012. With required transfers to the capital ac-count included the Region’s defi cit increases to $341,272. Increased sick time (6.65 per cent) and workplace injuries in the fi rst four months of the fi scal year are signifi cant fac-tors in the defi cit.

* Starting in January 2013, the RHA board will be chang-ing its meeting dates to the last Wednesday of the month. The board is planning nine meetings for 2013, with no meeting in January, July or August. Six meetings will be in Prince Albert, while the other three meetings will be held in Blaine Lake (April), Kinistino (September) and Leask (De-cember).

The next Regional Health Authority meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at the Senior’s Centre in Rabbit Lake. The meeting begins at 1 p.m.

Art Voyer seeks election as

school trustee

Art Voyer

Art Voyer has announced he is running for School Trustee with the Sask Rivers Public School Division in Subdivision 4. He has pre-viously served as trustee on this board and welcomes the challenges this position in-volves.

Voyer is currently em-ployed by Tang’s Farm ser-vice as a fuel truck driver as well as his work on the fam-ily farm. He believes that his past involvement with the school system as chair-man of the local board and then trustee on the division board makes him an ideal fi t for this position. His best qualifi cation for this posi-tion though comes from the fact that he still has a child in the school system and has fi rst hand knowledge of the

challenges that schools, par-ents and students are facing today.

now in our midst. October is a busy month for anyone – Thanksgiving, Halloween, hockey, skate club and fi tness classes are just the items on the top of my head. The rink will open October 9 (the Tuesday following Thanksgiving). Skate club is up and running as of the 10th and hockey the 15th. To keep up with rink schedule updates go to our Google calendar or check the town website under “Recreation”. For rink bookings, please contact myself at 747-4949 or email [email protected].

The Before and After School Program will be having a meeting on the 10th of October. If you would like to join to hear the conversation and even throw in some input, the meeting is at 6:30pm in the Elementary School. I would like to put out a huge thank you to all of the Parent Board who has been putting in a large amount of work. Karen Larsen, Becky Fisher, Carma Smith, Tara Kerber and Stacy Tanchuk have been volunteering their time to ensure the program is a success and without these amazing women, the program may not be running. I also would like to mention that Bre-anna Skrupski, as program director, has been doing a great job! Thank you everyone.

Do not forget to sign up for the SHA Skills of Gold Camp for November 10 & 11. You can register online at www.sha.sk.ca. There is also a coaching clinic on the 9th of November at no cost and you get a free track suit!

A reminder; Fitness with Leeta starts on October 2nd at 7:30pm in the Elementary School gymnasium. Classes go for an hour and include complete exercise routines! Leeta is creative and motivating; she will make you want to move especially if you are feeling like you do not. If you do not feel that you are going to be able to keep up, Leeta is very fl exible in her exercise knowledge and can adapt exercises to fi t you; all of her classes are welcoming to everyone – including all of you pregnant ladies out there. Classes are $5 drop in or you can purchase 10 passes for $50. If you have not set up with Leeta before, please show up a few minutes early to get yourself acquainted.

Weekly Health Tip: You have all probably heard it before, but a reminder as it will not be long until Thanksgiving is here; if you are trying to eat healthier, you can still enjoy a slice of turkey with gravy just try to have smaller portions of the rich yummy foods and larger portions of the surpris-ingly yummy healthy foods. My personal rule of thumb; fi ll up on the healthy foods fi rst, then fi t whatever room is left with the scrumptious rich foods.

Have a great week!Cassie BendigShellbrook Recreation Directoroffi ce – 747-4949cell – 747-9098email – [email protected]

Municipal elections across the region

A project to revitalize the Shellbrook Kinsmen Park was given the blessing of the Town of Shellbrook this week.

Members of the Shellbrook Kinette Club, President Tasha Cyr and Treasurer Kim Lamotte, made a presen-tation outlining their plans at the regular meeting of Council Monday. Council passed a motion to provide the club with a letter of support for the project for the pur-pose of fi lling out grant applications. The presentation did not include a plea for funds from the Town.

The club’s request to be able to issue charitable tax receipts to donors, through the town, was also granted provided Canada Revenue Agency guidelines were prop-erly followed.

The club presented plans to replace some of the older equipment at the park while also replacing the concrete border of the playground area.

* * *Council passed a motion to continue to support the

Human Resources at Dr. Nguegno’s clinic by providing two full time Medical Offi ce Assistants on an ongoing basis.

* * *Council passed a motion to engage Wheatland Build-

ers to supply curb, gutter and sidewalk to the hospital access road at a cost of $135 a lineal metre.

* * *Council passed a motion to set the annual fall clean

up weeks to October 3 to 13. During this period, the Shellbrook Landfi ll site will be open to yard refuse and tree trimmings.

* * *Council passed a motion to send letters to property

owners who purchased land from the Town in 2010 and 2011 in hopes of collecting GST that was to be charged on the lots. The Town was made aware of this after a recent GST audit.

* * *October’s meetings of Council have been set for Mon-

day October 15 and Monday October 29.

A variety of performers graced the stage during a jam session at Honeywood Heritage Nursery’s annual A Touch of Autumn event Sunday afternoon. Crowds made their way to the site, south of Parkside, to take in the music, check out the artisans and purchase their bulbs for next year’s growing season. A Touch of Autumn is the site’s fi nal event before winter.

Henry FabishHenry - 1938 – 2012Henry Edward Fabish, late of Big River, passed away on

September 10, 2012 at the age of 74 years. Henry was born April 29,

1938 at Shipman, SK, on the family farm. He grew up on the farm and took his school-ing at a country school just south of Shipman. Henry started working for the gov-ernment picking rocks on the Hansen Lake road when it was being built. When this job fi nished he moved to Prince Albert and became a patrol man for the Depart-ment of Natural Resources. When he was in the Candle Lake area he met a young lady that had caught his eye at a dance, and on Nov. 16, 1963 Henry and May were married. They then moved to Big River in July of 1967,

when he was transferred to work under fi eld offi cer Hank Randall. Henry had a passion for fi shing, trapping and the bush, over the years he taught the boys to trap and process the fur.

May and Henry both loved nature, and they taught their children to respect nature, only take what you need, don’t damage or litter, and to not leave scars on this earth. When the children were young Henry and May would spend time at Nesslin Lake, and in later years Henry and his family liked to go to Hackett Lake, where they would fi sh and visit with friends and spend time with his grandchildren. He loved his garden, taking great pride in it, keeping it neat, but mostly he loved beating his neighbor at being the fi rst to feed on pota-toes. Henry was always there to support his family, wheth-er it was a hockey game, ball, or curling he drove to many and every event. Henry liked watching the Big River Braves Hockey Team, never missing a game as well as watching curling games, and in the summer watching the Bud Kings playing slow pitch. Right up until Henry fell ill he loved to go to the Esso to have coffee with his buddies, catching up on all the news. His support was evident for everyone, and it showed. He will be remembered by all especially his fam-ily for just being there, traveling anywhere to support his friends and family.

Henry leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 48 years, May ; his children Barry; Garry (Misty) and their son Sean; Shirley (Martin) and their children Brandon, Britney, Bren-den, Evan, and Adam; Grant (Sherlene)and their children Kirsten and Rae-Anne; Marilyn (Guy) and their children Brad and Dane; his sister in-law Sophie Fabish; his brother in-law Allen Hanson.

Henry was predeceased by his parents Mr. John and Apo-lonia (nee: Szynczyk) Fabish; his sisters Mary Hrenyk, Helen Huculak, Frances Kott, Carol Hanson; his brothers Frank, Paul, and Ted Fabish.

The Memorial Service for Henry took place on September 15, 2012 in the Big River Community Hall with Jake McCrea as offi ciant.

Cyndi Aarrestad was the soloist, Carmen Daley shared memories of Henry, the Royal Purple had an Honor Guard and Brad Beaulac was the urn bearer.

Interment took place in the Big River Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made in memory of Henry to

the Big River Braves Hockey Team (Box 429 Big River, SK SOJ OEO) or to the Lakewood Lodge Auxilliary (Box 100 Big River, SK SOJ OEO).

Emailed condolences sent to www.beaulacfuneralhome.com will be forwarded to the family.

Coach Chamblin key to earning playoff berth

The 2012 season in the Canadian Football League is shaping up as one to re-member for Jon Cornish of the Calgary Stamped-ers.

The New Westminster, B.C., native, who played his collegiate ball at Kan-sas but was never drafted by a National Football League club, has been the talk of the CFL through the first half of the season and is zeroing in on some end-of-season awards.

Top Canadian? The league office can almost start inscribing his name on the trophy.

He won the weekly top-Canadian award three consecutive times, which gives him a huge leg up on the competition in that category.

Most outstanding play-er? Has to be considered. Cornish leads the CFL in rushing yards and will al-most certainly become the first back to the 1,000-yard plateau after his 67 against Saskatchewan Sept. 23 gave him 947. His rushing total is about 130 yards ahead of the No. 2 back, Kory Sheets of Sas-katchewan. No Canadian has won the CFL rushing crown since 1988 — al-most a quarter of a cen-tury.

Grey Cup champ? Why not?

The Stamps are certain-ly in the mix in the West, with Cornish and receiver

Nik Lewis leading the of-fence and a solid 7-5 re-cord through 12 games of the 18-game schedule.

Cornish told Allan Cam-eron of the Calgary Herald that he’s all business on the field. There’s no such thing as friendly banter between the lines once the game is under way, he said.

"I play my best when I don't engage with the other team," he told Cam-eron. "I have absolute ap-preciation for the things other teams are trying to do.

There's nothing disre-spectful. But on the field? It's not my prerogative to interact with the other team. I have goals far grander than any single game. So why get caught up in something like that?

"They can tackle me and say whatever they want, and I'll just get up and walk away."

It’s all adding up to 2012 being a season Cornish won’t soon forget. Neither will the CFL record book.

• R. J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “If the White Sox merged with the Red Sox, would they be the Pink Sox?”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “July 2012 was the hottest month ever recorded, according to the Weather Channel. Try telling that to the As-tros. They went 3-24.”

• Headline at TheOn-

ion.com: "Fireworks now go off every time Astros make an out."

• Janice Hough of left-c o a s t s p o r t s b a b e . c o m : “Roger Clemens said he only wanted to pitch for the Astros in 2012 if he could pitch against a ‘con-tender.’ So he can ‘knock them right out of the play-offs.’ And Barry Bonds is thinking – ‘And they thought I had a big head?’ ”

• Another one from Cur-rie: “The Ocean (N.J.) high-school football team may forfeit their next game because six players have impetigo (an itchy skin infection). For now, the boys are listed as healthy scratches.”

• Gregg Easterbrook, ESPN.com: “The Wash-ington Nationals shut down Stephen Strasburg for 2013, too, saying, ‘We want to be sure his rag-weed allergy doesn't act up.’”

• Norman Chad, syndi-

cated columnist: “I feel badly for the (NHL play-ers’) union. The league is attempting to cut back the players’ share of revenues, abolish players’ rights to salary arbitration and limit free agency. It is as if management is trying to turn back the clock. But it’s one thing to turn back the clock, and it’s a whole another thing to buy a case of sundials on eBay.

• Headline at SportsPickle.com: "NHL owners say they can't af-ford to give players the huge contacts they've been giving them."

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Her-ald, after Savannah State was listed as a 70- and 67-point underdog in its first two games — and lost 84-0 and 58-0: "I'm not sure what Savannah

State's problem is this year, but we can rule out overconfidence."

• Vancouver comic Tor-ben Rolfsen, after Falcons RB Michael Turner was charged with DUI just hours after a recent Mon-day night win: "He must have been really out of it, because he asked if a re-placement official could administer the sobriety test."

• Dwight Perry again: “An army vet fishing for bass near Springfield, Mo., reeled in a sock with a live hand grenade in it. It's already being hailed as the fastest catch-and-release in angling his-tory.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on Oregon instituting ran-dom drug testing of ath-letes after reports that 40

to 60 per cent of its foot-ball players use marijua-na: "The Ducks apparently will abandon their two-huddle system — smoking and nonsmoking."

• Janice Hough again: “NFL teams are furious with the replacement refs. They can’t wait to get back to being furious with the regular officials.”

• Another one from Rolf-sen: “Patrick Kane being interviewed by attractive on-ice female sportscast-ers is like Prince Fielder being interviewed by piz-za.”

• NBC golf commentator Gary Koch on the narrow 16th fairway at East Lake Golf Club: “It’s like trying to hit it into a double car garage.”

It is clear that if the Saskatch-ewan Roughriders are going to get back to the CFL playoffs in 2012 af-ter a one year hiatus, it's up to Co-rey Chamblin to lead them there.

The fi rst year head coach snapped his club out of the dol-drums in a big way last week by guaranteeing Calgary running back Jon Cornish would not rush for 100 yards when the two teams met Sunday at Mosaic Stadium.

It was a brash, bold statement by the rookie sideline boss but it was much like his early-season brava-do which guided the team to a 3-0 start.

However he pulled his horns in around the start of August, and the club stumbled into a stretch where

they lost six of their next eight games.

However last week's brazen guarantee caught everyone's atten-

tion across the CFL and may have even served to fi re up both teams. To say the Stampeders were unim-pressed by the comment would be an understatement.

But they were unable to do any-thing about it Sunday afternoon as Cornish was limited to 67 yards rushing in a 30-25 Roughrider vic-tory.

A ferocious Rider pass-rush served up fi ve sacks and knocked starting Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn out of the game.

Are the Riders a better team than Calgary? That's a tough call but they certainly were on this day. The win upped Saskatchewan's record to 6-6 but they still trail the second-place, Stampeders who fell to 7-5.

These teams won't meet again until a potential playoff showdown as the Stamps won the season se-ries 2-1.

Lost in the shuffl e on Sunday was the return of quarterback Dar-ian Durant who missed the team's Week 12 loss in Montreal with a hip injury. He was sensational against Calgary, tossing two touch-downs and wasn't responsible for any turnovers.

"I told the guys I wanted them to play tough and we got it," Chamb-lin said after the match.

"It was a team effort but Darian Durant looked as good as he has in a long time and I was proud of him. He gave it up today. It was a great team effort in all three phases."

So now we're left guessing what Chamblin has up his sleeve in the way of motivational tactics as the team enters the 2012 stretch drive. The team has six games re-maining and now of them will be easy. Again, it will be up to Cham-blin to push the right buttons and it begins with a visit from the 9-3 BC Lions next Saturday night in Regina.

"Guarantees?" Chamblin quizzed after the game. "I guar-antee we'll play a football game here next week against the BC Li-ons."

What happens between now and then will be very interesting.

GOOD NEWS~

WHAT IS WISDOM?DAVE WHALLEY, DLM. (R)

KNOX UNITED CHURCH

We are told in a reading from Proverbs Chapter 1, that wisdom ig-nored leads to death, and that wis-dom heeded leads to life. This is not something that I believe many folk care to hear. They do not care to hear it because it is ever the human desire to do as we want to do.

Many of us believe that with re-gard to the promises of God, that it is enough to say “I believe” and to attend church from time to time. Some people who attend baptisms, weddings, funerals and the odd Christmas Eve service feel that is enough to receive the rich inheri-tance that God has said will be given to us.

But it is not so. God calls us to lis-ten and to follow God’s way, to live by God’s wisdom. And the promise is that when we do this, we will find what we seek, and enjoy the fullness of what a relationship with the cre-ator of the world bestows upon us.

So what is the wisdom of God like -- this wisdom that leads to life? Well, the scriptural record is clear about it. The wisdom of God seems foolish in the eyes of unbelieving

people. It seems foolish, because it goes against natural tendencies, be-cause it reverses all that the world teaches about wisdom. The wisdom of God teaches that we must give up ourselves, if we are to find our-selves -- that we must acknowledge our weaknesses, if we are to become strong.

Jesus once said to the crowds and his disciples: “If any of you wants to be my follower,” he told them, “you must first put aside your selfish am-bition, shoulder your cross, and fol-low me. If you try to keep your life for yourself you will lose it.” These are hard words to hear, hard words to deal with, especially when we are so often a people who keep our faith to ourselves for fear of ridicule.

How much do we set our mind on human things, rather than that which is divine? We have to be look-ing for God to see God. How similar that is to the message from Proverbs and to the words of Jesus. God may indeed be all around us and even within us, but that is not enough. We are called to look for God, and to listen to God’s words. We are called to set our minds on the way of the divine and to strive to live by it, for only by doing, can we in fact live.

We are saved in our life on this earth by grace alone, most certainly.

But it is by grace through faithful-ness, the faithfulness of God toward us in Christ Jesus. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, to deny our fear, our weaknesses, and our pettiness, and to pick up our own cross of faith, and follow.

The Apostle Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians: “I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds to those who are on the road to destruction. But we who are being saved recognize this mes-sage as the very power of God.”

In order for us to take up our cross, what in our lives, would we have to change? What are we most afraid of losing? For many of us, it is what I call, our comfort margin. How often do we look at a task that we believe we may be called to per-form and rather than asking, if it is truly God’s will that we perform it, we ask if it is even possible for us to do?

What might we have to do, if we are to heed God’s words, and desires, rather than our own? God’s wisdom is not like ours. God’s thoughts are vaster than our thoughts. God’s ways are greater than our ways. But God gives us wisdom to do what we need to do, to further the will of God on this earth. Let us pray that we listen to God’s wisdom.
