Local Drilling Nearly Quadruples Over YearThe Provost area is
among other places
across Alberta that in a
single year experienced a
jump upwards in the
number of wells drilled.
C o m m u n i c a t i o n s
spokesman for the
Energy Resources
Conservation Board
(ERCB), Bob Curran was
asked for data on wells
drilled here and he wrote
that “In the area we
searched (just south of
Provost to just north of
Chauvin, and from
Hughenden to the
Saskatchewan border),
there were 91 wells
drilled in 2010, com-
pared to 23 in 2009.”
That’s an increase of
395 percent.

The top operators in
this area in 2010 were
Talisman Energy (41
wells), Black Shire
Energy (10), Rife
Resources (nine), and
Enerplus (seven).
The ERCB Calgary
office records also show
that across the province
over 2,300 successful oil
wells were drilled in
2010, more than double
the numbers drilled in
2009.
Crude oil remaining
established reserves
increased 3.7 per cent,
the first increase since
2005.
The ERCB’s report
called Alberta's Reserves
2010 and
Supply/Demand Outlook
2011-2020 also stated
that in 2010, Alberta’s
crude oil production
totaled 73.0 thousand
cubic metres (m3) (459
thousand barrels) of oil
per day with a yearly
total of 26.6 million m3
(168 million barrels).
This is a 0.4 per cent
reduction from 2009.
Also in 2010, Alberta
produced 256.3 thousand
m3 (1.6 million barrels)
per day of raw crude
bitumen from the oil
sands. The 2010 yearly
total of 93.5 million m3
(589 million barrels)
produced from the oil
sands represents an 8 per
cent increase over
Alberta’s 2009 oil sands
production.
The ERCB meanwhile
is forecasting that
Alberta’s annual raw
crude bitumen production
will total 549.6 thousand
m3 (3.5 million barrels)
per day for a total of 201
ProductiveLandWorkers (left) near a
Penn West Cadogan oil
battery are on the job
as more interest in
conventional oil is
taking place, according
to both the Canadian
Association of Oilwell
Drilling Contractors
and the Canadian
Association of
Petroleum Producers
who are predicting a
busy Alberta oilpatch
in 2011. A new forecast
(see PN June 8)
confirms the shift to oil
well completions, away
from natural gas
drilling.
Approximately 60
percent of the wells
being completed are
directed at oil, and
those wells are
increasingly
horizontal. Many are
seeing the application
of multi-stage fracking
technology. The
application of this
technology was most
prevalent in the
Bakken play in
Saskatchewan and
Manitoba, but is now
widely used in the
Cardium and Viking
areas of Alberta. This
picture was taken on
June 15 south east of
Cadogan as farming
operations also took
place nearby.

“It has been a wonderful
six years, but it is time
now to put my family
first, and look for new
adventures.”
Neil Downing, who
ran the club before
Geestman will be coming
back to take the club
through the next phase.
Geestman will still be
involved with tourna-
ments. In the summer, a
letter will be sent out to
all members explaining
what next season will
look like, along with reg-
istration forms. Sign-up
night will be in

Member ofParliament Leon Benoitwas reached by phonein Sherwood Park onMonday, June 20 beforehe boarded a plane thatday for a NATO meet-ing in Norway. He saidthat even though legis-lation has was expectedto be tabled in Ottawa
on Monday, June 20 toforce an end to theunrest, it’s expectedthat the NDP “will slowthis down as much asthey can, so we’re notsure if we can get itthrough by this Friday(June 24) or come backthe following week toget it done.”
Benoit says that evenwith a majority there isstill a process to getthrough.
The MP points outthat he has had “Notmany calls (over theissue) . . . I’m amazed.I don’t think I had ahalf dozen calls. Fewerpeople are depending
on the snail mail.” Hesays that these disrup-tions are causing peopleto depend less on postalservice. It’s not reliable.But he says “it stilleffects a lot of people . .. it’s crucial for somebusinesses like newspa-pers.”
Another possibility,says the MP is that thetwo sides will settlebefore legislation kicksin. “They don’t have towait for the governmentof Canada for a tenta-tive agreement.
Benoit is still thechair of the CanadianNATO parliamentari-ans and is the only MPfrom Canada going tothe Norway meetingwhich is about theArctic and military mis-sions.

Provost Taekwondo
Club Re-capDuring 2010-2011
taekwondo fighters rep-
resented the club at tour-
naments in Calgary, Red
Deer, Edmonton, Airdrie
and our home tourna-
ment.
Many Provost students
won divisions in big city
tournaments. Chelci
Coffey fought in several
black belt tournaments
from January on, and
showed a lot of promise
and toughness, fighting
older and more experi-
enced competitors. She
won several black belt
fights, with the highlight
being the beating of the
bronze medallist at
Junior National competi-
tions during a tourna-
ment in Calgary. Coffey
is ready to take the next
step to a national level.
Nathan McCrea also
received his black belt in
December, but was out of
the tournament season
due to a severe skiing
injury. In April, Jen
Fischer and Christina
Tarcu earned their black
belts. Fischer also broke
a brick with a palm strike

New Book With Two
Stories Has Bodo
Archaeological
ConnectionProvost author Robert Hahn is beginning to market
his new book that comprises two fictional stories.
“Bodo and the Tale of the Deer Track Pottery is a
sort of ‘girl story’ since pottery making was probably
women’s work, based on
the discovery of a real
archaeological pottery
artifact found near Bodo,
Alberta” (23 pages).
Bodo and the Tale of
the Mended Bones is
about a boy and his dog,
also based on the discov-
ery of a real archaeologi-
cal pottery artifact found
near Bodo (35 pages).
The 1,500 copies of
the book now off of the
Holmes Printing presses
are suggested for readers
aged 10 years to adult.
Hahn has worked on the
project for just over half
a year and says the fin-
ished product (page size
5 x 8 1/2 inches) will
soon be available at the
Bodo Archaeological
Centre in Bodo and in
Alberta book stores.
The book may be suit-
able companion reading
with the new Alberta
school textbook called
“ T e a c h i n g
A r c h a e o l o g i c a l
Thinking” by the Critical
Thinking Consortium
(TC2) available this fall
to all teachers in the
province and optional to
all grade levels in which
different aspects of the
Bodo archaeological site
are used as examples at
the end of almost every
chapter (see also PN
February 10, 2010 and
April 27, 2011).
Hahn is also a former
director of the Bodo
Archaeological Society.

ST PETERSBURG.—Annual growth inoil demand could average 1.2 million bar-rels per day (mb/d) between now and 2016,while natural gas demand could grow byaround 500 billion cubic meters – around2.5 times Russia’s current gas exports –during the same time, according to theInternational Energy Agency’s report:Medium-Term Oil and Gas Markets 2011.
The report, launched June 16 at the St.Petersburg International Economic Forum,seeks to make sense of the increased diver-gence in oil and gas markets by providing acomprehensive outlook for fundamentalsthrough 2016.
“This report shows that oil’s twilight asan industrial fuel continues, and it becomesever more concentrated in the transport andpetrochemical sectors,” said InternationalEnergy Agency executive director Nobuo
Tanaka. “Gas on the other hand continues toincrease in power generation as well asindustry and space heating. In terms of mar-ket structure and pricing, oil is a genuinelyglobal commodity, while gas markets,although globalising, remain bound bysome key regional constraints, not least interms of transportation.”
For oil, the projections are based on pre-vailing futures prices, which form anassumption as opposed to a price forecast.The crude price assumption used in the out-look averages $103 per barrel, or around$20 more than in last year’s MTOGM.Based on this assumption, the report pro-jects the following outcomes in oil markets:
Growth in oil supply capacity through2016 averages 1.1 mb/d annually, as higherprices unlock new supplies. Iraq, UAE andAngola lead growth prospects from OPEC,
while Brazil, Canada, Kazakhstan andColumbia drive non-OPEC increases.Conventional crude oil accounts for lessthan 40 percent of the increase, while natur-al gas liquids, biofuels and unconventionaloil from onshore the United States accountfor the lion’s share of new supplies;
While spurring investment in explo-ration and development, higher oil pricesthreaten to weaken economic growth andcurb demand. Accordingly, the report pre-sents both a base case scenario in whichdemand reaches 95.3 mb/d in 2016 and alow-GDP variant in which demand is 2.4mb/d lower by 2016;
In both demand scenarios, China, Asia andthe Middle East together generate around 95 per-cent of net growth, with buoyant gas oil/dieselgrowth and major increases expected from thetransport and petrochemical sectors. Persistentend-user subsidies and buoyant economic
growth allow non-OECD demand growth to stay
robust, despite high international crude prices.
The report makes the following projections
for the gas market:
As gas consumption grows by 2.4 percent per
year between now and 2016, gas continues to
increase its share of the global energy mix. Non-
OECD markets are not only the main driver
behind this demand growth but also contribute to
90 percent of additional supplies;
Global trade in gas expands rapidly as more
countries become gas importers. Natural gas
joins oil, iron ore and many others in the club of
commodities in which China is the increasingly
dominant source of demand. Around one third of
global demand growth comes from China. China
emerges as one of the biggest importers of
pipeline gas as well as LNG, while rapidly
increasing its domestic production at the same
time.

Sask. June LandSale Yields $41 Million
REGINA.—The June sale of petroleumand natural gas rights brought in $40.9 mil-lion in revenue, making it the third best onrecord for a June sale. Land sale revenue forthe 2011 now stands at $193 million.
"This sale marks a record, 11 consecu-tive land sales that have surpassed the $30million mark," Energy and ResourcesMinister Bill Boyd said. "This sustainedinterest from industry is very positive. Ittells us industry sees a stable, long-termfuture in Saskatchewan's oil patch. It's alsoa vote of confidence in the province's over-all business climate.
"It's always exciting to watch the actionwhen prime Bakken and Shaunavon parcelsare posted, and this sale was no exception. Iwas also pleased to see that all corners ofthe oil patch continue to contribute to thesale, from St. Walburg in the north toConsul in the southwest to Storthoaks in thesoutheast and points in between."
June's sale included eight petroleum andnatural gas exploration licences that sold for$3.5 million and 260 lease parcels thatattracted $37.4 million in bonus bids.
The Weyburn-Estevan area received themost bids with sales of $21.5 million. TheLloydminster area was next at $7.9 million,followed by the Kindersley-Kerrobert areaat $6.1 million and the Swift Current area at$5.4 million.
The highest price for a single parcel was$3.7 million. Prairie Land & InvestmentServices Ltd. acquired this 62.28-hectarelease parcel near Stoughton. This parcel
also had the highest price on a per-hectarebasis of $60,302.
Alberta SetsSingle Day LandSale Record
EDMONTON.—June 1’s petroleum andnatural gas land sale netted over $841 mil-lion and is the highest ever total from a landsale in the history of Alberta. This nearlydoubles the previous high of $474 millionset in December 2005. The sale also set arecord for average price hectare of$3,110.85, surpassing the previous high of$2,185.03 set in July 2010.
There were 390 parcels available for thesale. The top earner was a licence locatednorth east of Rocky Mountain House which
sold for over $106.5 million with an aver-age price per hectare of $13,529.70. Thisparcel also bought in the highest ever bonusfor a petroleum and natural gas parcel. Theprevious high was a petroleum and naturalgas parcel sold on March 23, 2011 for over$96.5 million. Six of the top 10 all-time par-cel sales were set today.
“The most interesting result in this landsale is the focus on conventional oil in theCardium formation,” said Energy MinisterRon Liepert. “This is the result of our pre-vious changes to the royalty structure whichencourages the use and deployment of newtechnologies in accessing the resource.”
The record sale comes just months afterthe province set new records for calendaryear ($2.39 billion) and fiscal year ($2.56billion) sales as well as average price perhectare ($2,185.03).

Provost Dentist Puts in 390 Hours
Studying HypnotherapyProvost dentist Dr.
Maria-Cristina Iova has
been studying hypnother-
apy over nine months,
spending between 380
and 390 hours (including
practicum) on the cours-
es in Calgary at Full
Circle Hypnosis college.
She has a few more
weekends to finish up.
Iova has been taking
the course which she says
will help not only the
patient but also herself
and her staff by reducing
some anxiety. The dental
profession is a stressful
one, she points out and
notes the procedure is a
kind of relaxation and
collaboration with posi-
tive suggestions put for-
ward such as “you will
feel a pleasant experi-
ence.” The patient stays
wide awake and does not
enter a trance. She says
the technique has also
been used in some surg-
eries around the world
and thinks it could help
10 to 25 percent of dental
patients who are anxious.
The procedure involves
the dentist taking five to
Dr. Maria-Cristina Iova with new certificate and checking over a chart.
10 minutes to talk with the patient adding that it’s
“more of a relaxation thing.” When her course is
finalized she will be called a certified hypnotherapist.
The Provost dentist has also finished extra courses
in aesthetics dentistry in May and June in Las Vegas
on weekends where she put in approximately 75
hours of study. That knowledge can be used to “re-
make a smile” for those that may have deformed or
out of aligned teeth
employing the use of
veneers and crowns
made of new generation
porcelain. Although Iova
has done work in that
before she recently
worked on a patient (one
of her own staff) that is
having a wedding this
summer and worked on
10 of the woman’s teeth.
Teeth were not moved in
the mouth because a
faster fix was asked for.
Orthodontics would have
moved and re-aligned the
teeth.
In addition the
Provost dentist last year
took courses on sleep
studies including snoring
and sleep apnea which
might be in part related
to a malformation of the
jaw which could position
the tongue to cause a
breathing obstruction
when someone is asleep.

The KP Kindergarten
class has shown fantastic
progress as beginning
readers throughout this
school year. The stu-
dents completed their
reading program by
adding in their final
selection to their poem
books and completing
the last take home story
of the year, “Bedtime on
the Farm”. Listening to
factual books about farm
animals has continued to
teach the class some
amazing animal facts
while providing opportu-
nities to work on compre-
hension skills.
Measuring animals with
cubes was a great hands-
on way to review number
concepts. During this
past week, the students
had an opportunity to use
life jackets and practice
their swimming skills
and dives in the deep
end.
This week the Grade
1W class was thrilled to
be able to see butterflies
emerge from their
chrysalides. They also
have nine cocoons that
they hope to see the
moths emerge from.
Getting ready for
Father’s Day provided an
opportunity for creativity
and writing. It is hoped
that all dads enjoyed their
day.
The Grade 2 students
continue to explore small
crawling and flying
insects. They are now
doing various experi-
ments to find out more
about the earthworm's
habits. The students
enjoyed their last visit to
the Hillcrest Lodge for
the year. They did a fabu-
lous job performing
“Goldilocks and the
Three Bears”, followed
by an interview about life
when the seniors were
young. Parents were also
invited in to enjoy the
play performance. Well
done, class.
Grade 3 CR students
have loved their time in
the pool improving their
strokes and water safety
knowledge. They were
glad to be done with
PATs as their focus is dis-
appearing for the year!
Making books to cheer
up Mrs. Clarke-Rennie
when she was recovering
Depression. In science
students are wrapping up
their unit on wetlands.
They are very excited
about their upcoming
field trips to Dilberry
Lake and to Buckingham
House.
The Grade 6B students
are glad that provincial
achievement testing is
complete. They are look-
ing forward to their field
trip to Moose Jaw where
they will visit the tunnels
and learn about Al
Capone. The students
have begun an active cit-
izenship project in social
studies. They brain-
stormed things they
would like to change in
the community and
school and then voted on
which one would make
the greatest impact.
They all decided that
they wanted to decrease
littering in the communi-
ty. The class worked
together to develop a
plan. They are going to
donate garbage cans to
the community so people
have some place to put
their garbage, instead of
on the street.
The school wide plas-
ma car races have come
to an end. The grand
winners of them all was
the team Line Riders!
They consisted of four
Grade 5 students; David
Baier, Kaden Nelson,
Darian Brouwer, and
Trey Latimer. When
interviewed for this sub-
mission the boys com-
mented on how easy their
win was against the team
Royals referring to it as a
“royal flush”. They are
also looking forward to
Mr. White, Mrs. Slater,
Mr. Pylypow and Ms.
Hagen reading this sub-
mission. This team of
teachers lost against the
boys.
The jr. high leadership
class would like to send
their gratitude to all the
teachers and students
who welcomed them into
their classrooms this
year. It is such a valuable
experience to work with
others and the students
appreciate being given
this awesome opportuni-
ty. The elementary stu-
dents and staff also
appreciated all the help
they were given by these
students who are devel-
oping awesome leader-
ship skills.
The Student
Leadership Advisory
Committee held their 1st
annual car wash for a
cause on Saturday, June
11 at the school parking
lot. They also included a
hot dog and hamburger
sale. The group was rais-
ing money for the Slave
Lake residents effected
by the fire that ripped
through their town. With
the support of this com-
munity they were able to
raise $1000.

and thank their work
experience student,
Richard, showed their
respect and appreciation
as well as great ideas and
writing skills. The class
is excited about the
Father’s Day gifts they
threw together and scent-
ed up. They know their
dads will love both. The
class is excited to share
their powerpoint presen-
tations about the animal
they have researched
with any guests who
would like to join them
in the elementary com-
puter lab on June 21 or
June 27.
The Grade 5 students
are finishing up their
remaining units. In math
students are finishing
their statistics and proba-
bility unit. In social stu-

The Provost and District Family and CommunitySupport Services (FCSS) provides a counselling programthat is housed in the Provost Provincial Building withservices offered on Wednesdays, Thursdays and alternateFridays. No referral is necessary. This confidentialprogram is funded by your tax dollars and there are noadditional charges.
People use counseling for a variety of reasons.They may be concerned with developmental issues,addressing and resolving specific problems, makingdecisions, coping with crisis, developing personalinsights and knowledge, working through feelings ofinner conflict, or improving relationships with others.The counsellor’s role is to facilitate the client’s work inways that respect the client’s values, personal resourcesand capacity for self-determination.
If you have never been in counselling before, youmay be wondering what to expect. The purpose ofcounselling is to enable you to resolve your issues so thatyou can live more satisfyingly and resourcefully. It ismore disciplined and confidential than friendship; allcounsellors are required to meet a Code of Ethics andConduct which they must follow. And, although friendsknow and perhaps understand you better, they willsometimes have a bias or preference for you. Counsellorsdo not have a vested interest in your choices and canfacilitate a neutral discussion.
Counselling is a place where you will be encouragedand empowered to be the best person you can be.
To make an appointment you can call 780-753-2542.

4816-50 AVE. • PROVOST, ALTA.
SEE YOUR DENTIST BEFORESTARTING CANCER TREATMENTS
Before a cancer patient begins chemotherapyor radiation treatment, a visit to the dentist maybe in order.
Chemotherapy and radiation treatment to thehead and neck reduces the production of saliva,as well as weakening the immune system.Because of this, problems already present in themouth can be aggravated. If the problembecomes severe enough, cancer therapy mayhave to be interrupted until the dental problemis fixed.
Ideally, a cancer patient would have dentaltreatment completed two to four weeks prior tocancer treatment, but it can be done closer tothe date if immediate cancer treatment isnecessary. The patient would receive acomplete dental cleaning and examination.Any obvious decay, infected gums and soreswould be treated immediately. X-rays wouldalso be taken to look for any not-so-obviousproblems that can be treated or prevented.
Your dentist will also assist in care duringcancer treatment and may recommend dailyfluoride at-home treatments.
If you have concerns about dental care forcancer patients, be sure to ask your dentist.

The Gregory family thanks all of thepeople whose prayers and acts ofkindness helped all of us during the 11

The skill and kindnessexhibited by all of the staff at Provost HealthCare Centre, from medical personnel tohousekeeping, was a wonder to behold and weknow that we are blessed to be among suchgood people.

Thinking Out Loud
with
Lucie
Trutnau
I’ve been thinking
about the number
100 lately . . .
— 100 white cat hairs
stuck to the clothing of
anyone who comes to
visit me. My cat Wendy
is very generous with
guests. She hates to see
them leave without a few
little souvenirs of their
stay.
— 100 bottles of
Revlon’s “Touch of
Mauve” nail polish
which I’ve used in the
seven years I’ve been
doing nails at Hillcrest
Lodge. Every once in a
while, one of the ladies
will take pity on me and
use a different shade, but
nothing “flashy”.
— 100 pennies will
make up a dollar, unless
it’s an American dollar,
in which case you’ll only
need 97 pennies. Call it
schaden-freude if you
will, but I’m quietly
thrilled whenever our
dollar is worth more than
a Yankee dollar.
— 100 bedding plants
in my flower pots this
summer, most of which
are still alive, although
some of the petunias look
like they need medical
help.
—100 English essays
per week that I used to
grade while still
teaching, even though I
knew perfectly well
some of them were
“borrowed” off the
internet.
— 100 mosquito bites
in the average summer,
despite copious and
frequent applications of
bug repellent.
— 100 popcorn
kernels you can eat
before breaking a tooth.
— 100 birds nesting in
my hedges and trees,
every one of whom starts
chirping, twittering,
whistling and cawing at 5
a.m.
— 100 years before
something turns into a
priceless piece of old
junk. (My car only has 85
years to go.)
— 100 vehicles going
through the intersection
up by the school each
morning between 8:15
and 8:45; drivers, can
you say, “school zone”?
—100 dollars —
almost enough to take a
family of four to the
movies and provide them
with munchies.
— 100 books that I’ve
borrowed from the local
library over the past year
or so, which is about 15¢
per book—a real bargain.
— 100 clicks per hour
on the TV remote
control, as I try to find
something worth
watching.
— 100 souvenir tea
towels that I’ve collected
in my years of travel.
They’re cheap, easy to
pack, and I can relive my
holidays as I dry my
dishes.
—100 computer-
dialed telemarketing
calls interrupting our
lives every year.
— 100 websites you
have to trawl through
before you find the one
bit of information you
were looking for.
— 100 CDs in your
collection which you
bought because there was
one song you liked on
each album.
— 100 vinyl records
sitting in a storage box in
the basement as you wait
for record players to
make a come back.
— 100 minutes of
commercials to sit
through in an evening’s
television viewing.
— 100 calories worth
of junk food you can eat
before feeling guilty
about pigging out.
And what brought on
this fixation on the
number 100? Well, this is
my 100th “Thinking Out
Loud” article, which
means my column is
officially an antique.

The trouble with
writing these ‘stories’ of
mine ahead of time, I
sometimes guess wrong
about some items or
events that haven’t
happened or will happen
but I don’t think you
really notice whenever I
miss the boat. I try not to
write about the same
subjects or content that
Lucie writes about and
on a few occasions she
has ‘stolen’ my thunder
so I just don’t talk about
it. We talk to each other
sometimes but never
what we are going to
write about.
Back in early May her
column described
‘warm’ milk. True. Milk
chutes, also true but we
didn’t have one in our
house in Calgary. And in
the ’40s, milk was
delivered by a horse
drawn wagon. I read her
column four times to
make sure something
wasn’t there. Do you
remember when
margarine came on the
market? It was white and
the package contained
yellow food coloring so
the margarine could be
colored to look like you
know what.
About a month ago
someone asked me how
come I write about the
past so often. My answer
was that I have more
years behind me than I
have years ahead of me.
Besides the resident
‘historians’ like to have
their stories told. Where
else do you think I get
some of my ideas.
It is often said
“plagerism is the highest
form of flattery.” This is
not my line . . . ‘Part of
where I’m going is
knowing where I’m
coming from.’ This was
the statement or message
for the grads at a recent
graduation. That line
pretty much sums it up
for people of all ages.
I like to pick on large
corporations. I am very
selective of which ones I
pick on. I have to have
had first-hand
experience or I can quote
from a reliable source. I
don’t get into politics
because all elected
politicians think they are
little ‘gods’ so I don’t
talk about religions
either. I do have
question(s) for the
Canadian Pacific
Railway (CPR). Why are
the railroad tracks so
crooked? Is it because
the CPR got the section
they were going through
plus the sections on both
sides of that section?
Was this land grant
forever or just for as
long as there were
railroad tracks? If the
CPR takes out the track,
should it have to give the
land back. This ‘theft’ of
land has a close parallel
in 2010-11 with the
stripping of property
owner’s rights in favor
of the large electrical
corporations who are
primarily concerned
with servicing ‘big oil’ at
the expense of the small
user. When election time
comes around, why do
our minds go ‘blank’ ?
So when this new
power transmission line
is built and property
owners are raped on an
individual basis of their
property rights, how is
the CPR going to be
treated when their
granted/seized land is
crossed?
In closing, I would
like to pass on a little
story as told to me by
Mindy at the Red Lion
many years ago. Mindy
always called me
“Norm” (from Cheers).
She still calls me “Norm”
at the ATB. Anyways, the
“Buffalo Theory”
according to Mindy . . .
“Well, ya see, Norm, it’s
like this. A herd of
buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest
buffalo. And when the
herd is hunted, it is the
slowest and weakest ones
at the back that are killed
first. This natural
selection is good for the
herd as a whole, because
the general speed and
health of the herd keeps
improving. In much the
same way, the human
brain can only operate as
fast as the slowest brain
cells. Excessive intake
of alcohol, as we know,
kills brain cells. But
naturally, it attacks the
slowest and weakest
brain cells first. In this
way, regular
consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker
brain cells, making the
brain faster and more
efficient. That’s why you
always feel smarter after
a few beers.” . . . time for
a beer!

IN MEMORIAM ———
In loving memory of Kaye Nishwho passed away June 22, 2010.God saw you getting tired,And the cure was not to be,He wrapped you in His lovingarms,And whispered “Come with Me.”You suffered much in silence,Your spirit did not bend.You faced your pain with courage,Until the very end.You tried so hard to stay with us,Your fight was all in vain,God took you to His loving home,And freed you from all pain.You didn’t deserve what you wentthrough,And so he gave you rest,Never does a day go byWe do not think of youA golden heart stopped beatingTwo working hands at rest.When the days are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong,We seem to hear you whisper,‘Cheer up and carry on’.Each time we see your picture,You seem to smile and say,‘Don’t cry, I’m only sleepingAnd we’ll meet again someday.
Sadly missed,Patti, Vanessa,
Deon and Cindy, Brynn, DeeganDan, Roy and Connie
and families—22Jn1p

President of the Provost Agricultural Society, Richard Larson (centre)
accepts $1,457.90 from Provost and District Chamber of Commerce
representatives Anne Fraser (left) and Kathy Meier. The money was
raised from a pancake breakfast held at Crescent Point Place before
the parade on Saturday, June 18. Larson says plans are being made to
gravel the parking lot near the new arena, likely this summer and that
so far an estimated $50,000 has been raised. Paving could follow when
more money is raised. ©PROVOST NEWS PHOTO.
Cash for Parking Lot
In the Sermon on
the Mount, Jesus told thegathered multitude thatthey were to be the salt ofthe earth. His words weremeant for us, too.
Salt preserves foodfrom decay and rot; asChrist's followers we arecalled to keep our societyfrom decaying. Saltpromotes thirst; we are tohelp others find a thirstfor Jesus. Salt permeatesfood; we are to permeatesociety with the love ofJesus and the moralvalues necessary for agood society.
This story helps toillustrates that last point.
In a gun factory in theUnited States, an unusual
and forth, back and forth,while the bar remainedmotionless.
More minutes wentby...two...five...10...ahalf hour. Then suddenlyunder the relentlessbarrage, and so nearlyimperceptibly as to seemalmost an illusion, thesteel bar was seen totremble. A few momentslater it shuddered as ifseized with a nervoustremor, hung quietlyagain, then shudderedagain.
There was nodeviation in the motionof the cork. Steadily,without haste, itcontinued its noiselessassault. And now themovements of the greatsteel bar became lesstremulous as it settledinto the beginning of anorderly pattern ofmotion, graduallypicking up the rhythm ofthe swinging cork.
In another half hourthe cork, its workfinished, had been cutdown and the heavy barwas swinging back andforth as steadily and asrhythmically as apendulum.
There is a moral here,isn't there? When weencounter seeminglyimmovable objects, we feelthat we can do nothingabout them.
How can I, singlehandedmake even the slightestimpact, we wonder.
We each are only oneperson. So we do nothing.
But if an almostweightless cork can, by itsgentle persistenthammering, set a heavy barof steel in motion, why can'twe, with nothing more thana friendly good morningday after day, convince ourstandoffish neighbour tobecome a friend?
Or why can't our quietyet constant reiteration of atruth finally make animpression on the mostdeeply rooted prejudice?
And in a broader sense,can't we, by continuallyspeaking against an evil or alack in our communities,eventually influence otherpeople so that the minority
experiment was con-ducted. A bottle cork,weighing less than fourgrams, was suspended byan almost invisiblethread alongside a heavysteel bar, itself hungvertically from a beam
by a slender metal chain.The cork, set in
motion, began to swinggently against the steelbar. For a long time therewas nothing to be seenbut its rhythmic,noiseless swaying back
of one will become amajority large enough tocorrect that evil or lack?
If a little cork can do it--
so can we.This is what Jesus meant
when he said we are to bethe salt of the earth.

“Thank you everyone!”Bill Roadhouse
‘No Respect’People who are using Communities in Bloom
flowerpots for their own use such as planting
garage sale signs in them “have no respect for all
the work that we have done” says spokesman Betty
Varty—who yanked this sign (above) up from
another barrel and brought it downtown to be
photographed. She adds that school students who
helped out planting flowers this year won’t be
happy to see the containers used for advertising
purposes. Varty saw three or four flowerpots
being used in this fashion without permission and
another sign was placed between flowerpots,
taking away from the decoration. This is not the
first year flowerpots have been highjacked by
others but now it’s getting worse say the people
who take the time to put them out. Some new pots
now in use this year (top, right) have some limited
plumbing for a water reservoir in them below the
dirt which might get damaged if people continue
to pound wooden stakes in the barrels to hold up
signs. Varty says that “We will phone the town in
the future and have them deal with it (using pots
for signs) and maybe they will call the RCMP.”
