“Where the difference is worth the drive”

Netmaker now author

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Successful entrepreneur Kendal Netmaker can now add “book author” to his list of accomplishments.

Netmaker, who is from Sweetgrass First Nation, has a new book out called From Poverty to Podium, a First Nation success story.

It’s a story about how Netmaker rose from Sweetgrass First Nation to founding the clothing line Neechie Gear and becoming a sought-out speaker on the lecture circuit.

The story is bound to connect with Indigenous people who are looking for

inspiration.

“Me, having the First Nations background, being a First Nations man myself, obviously it would have strong [impacts] with that because the story starts on the First Nations reserves,” said Netmaker, who spoke to the News-Optimist by phone last Thursday.

ment of a child under the age of 10.

He also entered guilty pleas to stealing a motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public, and operating a motor vehicle while disqualified, in connection to the Sept.

16 incident. Two other counts from Sept. 16 are to be spoken to and likely withdrawn or stayed at the conclusion of sentencing.

Those are the charges of abduction of a person un-

der the age of 14, as well as unlawful confinement.

Gunville has also pled guilty to breach of curfew stemming from Sept. 19.

A second curfew breach charge from that date is to be withdrawn. Gunville also has entered guilty pleas to six counts from Sept. 20 — operating a motor vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public, possession of stolen property exceeding $5,000, flight from police, operating a motor vehicle while

disqualified, breach of probation order not to possess or consume alcohol and breach of a probation order to not be in the driver’s seat of a vehicle. The other five charges — operating a vehicle while disqualified and four breach counts — are to be spoken to and likely withdrawn.

Gunville made his latest appearance in North Battleford Provincial Court before Judge Dan O’Hanlon by closed circuit TV from Saskatoon.

Driven to Succeed: showing others the path Continued from Front But Netmaker says the message of the book will be applicable to everyone.

He said he felt the story of how to overcome tremendous obstacles would strike a chord with people.

The book itself is one part personal life story and another part self-help for budding entrepreneurs and others looking for success.

Netmaker recounted growing up in poverty with his mom and sisters.

“The first half of the book is my story basically of living on my reserve, Sweetgrass First Nation,” said Netmaker, “and growing up there, going through many obstacles as a youth as many First Nations kids go through.

“And then many acts of kindness later, being able to have access to sport, and then from sport, being able to go to school and to university, and being in university is where I started my first company.”

The second part of the book is where Netmaker shares his five steps to succeed, which include: Making a Simple Choice; Plan, Prepare and Expect to Win; Using the Power of Your Story; Turning Your Pain into Gain; and

Elevating Your Circle of Influence.

Netmaker calls it a “five-step system for anyone who’s stuck right now, feeling like they are in a rut and need to get out of it. So there’s a system in the back, if you follow those five steps, they’ll get you where you want to be.”

He described the first step: helping someone with a decision on what to do with the rest of their life.

“Most people, they find themselves sooner or later, in a moment when they’re stuck,” said Netmaker.

“They’re kind of just going through the motions of life and they’re bouncing from one opportunity to the next and they’re wondering why they’re not happy.”

That first chapter helps people make that important decision. “We all have things within us that can allow us to advance ourselves quickly. We call those gifts.”

Netmaker speaks of matching that gift with the field that you’re in or whatever job that you have, to the point where it becomes an obsessive feeling.

“It’s kind of like if you’re working on a proj-

ect and it really feels good.

That’s the obsessive feeling we’re talking about and that’s the decision that you should make, the deci-

sion on what to go into for the rest of your life.”

For Netmaker, he said he didn’t find that out until after trying a variety

of things. He had initially thought he was going to be a physical education teacher, then ended up going into business, and that led to opportunities on the speaking circuit.

Now, he’s reached the point where he has “found what I’m meant to do,” said Netmaker.

He also urges people to trust their own feelings.

“If you have that same feeling about something you feel you’re meant to do, don’t ignore that because that is kind of like your calling, something that’s warning you through those feelings and emotions that this is probably what you’re meant to do.”

The message Netmaker delivers is one he could have delivered in any number of ways. But he chose to write a book, because he “wrote it down years ago that I was going to write a book by the time I turned 30.

“When I turned 30 I went ‘oh my goodness, I have to finish this goal.’

And here’s the secret. Most people who are successful in any endeavour that they do, they write their goals down, and they commit to them. It’s like their accountability. So I held my-

self accountable to write this book, and the whole time I was writing the book I felt like I was going to help people.”

For Netmaker, the book was one more new challenge. “I always have to work on a new project,” he said.

“This book was really fun for me, and it was also a lot of healing because I had to go back and address a lot of issues that I’d gone through in the past.”

Right now Netmaker has been busy touring and speaking about the book.

He has just been in Manitoba, not only speaking about the book but also “leaving a message of hope with people.”

A successful book launch was held at McNally Robinson in Saskatoon recently. His book is now widely available at sites such as Amazon.ca and Indigo.ca, and if you see Netmaker at any of his speaking events there will be books available as well.

As for whether Netmaker plans to do some book-related events in the Battlefords or surrounding area, he said “we’re working on a few things, but we haven’t finalized it yet, so stay tuned.”

Commentary

Battlefords North Stars: the 2018-19 version

By Garnet Elmer and Ashlyn Elmer The Battlefords North Stars have embarked on the 2018-19 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League schedule with a heavy dose of home games being played at the Civic Centre. The club has a brand new pair of coaches including the head coach, Brayden Klimosko and assistance coach Brett Parker. Thus far, from all reviews, the North Stars have chosen a good pair of leaders for the young men on the ice. They will lead the players in the dressing room and in the community.

It is important to recognize the players are not only taught skills in the arena, but values for life as they participate in a game they love. Many are living away from friends and family. Many have a desire to pursue post-secondary studies. This is why the coaching staff and executive are so important as role models for these young men.

The North Stars had a mass exodus of players after the 2017-18 season, with many having played their last year of eligibility. For many, it was a disappointing end of the season as, for various reasons, the club underperformed. This was not necessarily the fault of the players on the ice. Hopefully mistakes incurred by the club are lessons learned for the future. As mentioned, the executive has begun to make amends by having signed a fine coaching staff.

There were also players who were expected to return, but did not. Dakota Huebner was an example. Starting the season, the North Stars were left with only two veteran defencemen, Cody Spagrud and Matthew Fletcher, in addition to a former North Star who recently joined the team, Austin Shumanski. Although they are stalwarts, you need up to eight defensemen on the total roster to get through a long and challenging season.

The forward contingent was also decimated. Owen Lamb, MacGregor Sinclair, Matthias Urbanski, Elijah Loon-Stewardson and Blake Fennig were the returnees.

Fennig did not make it to the regular season. However, the club saw the return of former North Stars players Braydon Buziak, who played last season with the Regina Pats and Victoria Royals of the Western Hockey League, and Ryan Gil, who had been ruled ineligible to play in the SJHL last season.

Goaltender Taryn Kotchorek also left to pursue a combined academic and hockey career at Portage College in Lac la Biche, Alta.

Thus, at the start of this season, the outlook did not look exactly promising with a wagonload of new and inexperienced lads joining the club. However, with sound coaching, and the determination of the players to live up to the expectation of high calibre North Stars hockey capable of winning a championship every year, they strapped on their skates and have had a good start to the campaign. They have not used any excuses and have performed to a high level. There’s lots of work to be done as shown in the past number of games. However, upon observation, this club has the capability to outperform the club of last season, as they appear to be playing well together and, more importantly, are playing for each other. That is a good sign as the season progresses.

A major returnee to the club for the 2018-19 season was goaltender Joel Gryzybowski. The unflappable netminder is the glue that holds the club together. He rarely has a bad night and makes acrobatic saves regularly.

When a big save is needed and expected, Joel never lets the club down. He is steady if not spectacular. If you

Optimist The Battlefords Regional

were going to choose any goalie in the League to lead your club, Joel would be at the top of many coaches’ list.

He is a great young lad who happens to be a superlative goaltender.

At the time of writing of this report, the backup job is up for grabs with returnee Jake Davidson and Adam Dmyterko vying for the job. Who knows, that list of two may expand as the season wears on. However, it is anticipated the club will settle on a regular backup in the not too distant future. It was imperative that the North Stars had a solid veteran coming back and ‘Gryz’ certainly fills that need.

On defence, Cody Spagrud leads by example. Our captain is a leader who puts forth his best effort every night. There are times when the captaincy can wear on a young individual. However, Cody appears to be wearing his leadership expectations well. Much is expected of him, as it should. Matthew Fletcher appeared to have a slow start to the season, but he is now playing dynamite hockey. He has a bright future in the game as he has unlimited potential. Matthew will need to continue to progress as the club needs his presence on the ice due to his veteran leadership.

The North Stars also have brought in a number of impressive newcomers on the blue line. They include Jacob Bayne, Tanner Scott, Noah Form (currently injured), Ryan Granville, Adam Weiner and Seth Summers. Form was lost early in the season and it hasn’t been communicated as to the extent of his injury. Bayne was injured and was out of the lineup for a number of games. Scott has been a regular since his arrival after the start of the season. Summers, Weiner and Granville have taken their spot in the lineup periodically.

There have been lapses in the defensive play. On many occasions, opposition forwards have been allowed to skate in uncontested on our goaltenders. The amount

of odd-man rushes to this point in the season seems to have surpassed the total the club had all of last year. Part is likely due to inexperience, part due to playing with new defensive partners. There needs to be better communication amongst teammates and the forwards need to back check to a greater degree. In no circumstances should the team be allowing the opposition to cherrypick and skate in on breakaways. Goals given up in such a way are cheap and deflating. That being said, the defence corps looks to have promise and they will likely tighten up their play as the season progresses.

The North Stars were placed in an unenviable position near the start of the season when they lost their office manager. The club was left to scramble to hire a replacement and early on in the season, it showed. This was to no fault of the current office manager. However, it did serve to reinforce the concept that the club needs to advertise its product and be out in the community.

Otherwise some of the buying public will lose interest.

Updated information on the website is a must.

Player transactions are of interest to season ticket holders and other fans who attend the games. Otherwise, the fan is left to guess as to what is happening with the roster. That being said, North Stars fans benefited highly from the dedication of Nathan Kanter last year. The play-by-play man would provide Twitter updates during the games after goal scoring and would also give a postgame analysis. He would also provide online interviews with coaches and players. This created interest in the club and a buzz amongst North Stars fans. That seems to be non-existent this year, in addition to the abbreviated post-game interviews that usually only involve the assistant coach. If the club is to improve its fan base, the club and the media have to work together to optimize the product.

Twenty-five years ago, a cop beat on me, and I blame SkyDome From the top

Twenty-five years ago, a cop beat on me. Why? I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it’s all the Blue Jays’ fault, and their home, Skydome.

That year, October 1993, I had just completed my second month living on my own, attending the University of Saskatchewan. For me, it was a magical time – a new city, university, making new friends, almost every experience was new. One I hadn’t counted on was ending up in the middle of a riot one block away from my apartment.

Back in those days, the Toronto Blue Jays were a big deal. A few years before, they had just moved into SkyDome (I refuse to call it anything else).

The city and country were fascinated with the newfangled, open/close roofed stadium, and they were routinely selling out and setting attendance records.

That must have helped the team’s finances, and I am guessing it showed in their ability to field a winning team. The year before, they had won the World Series. This year, they would repeat.

I had an apartment just off of 8th Street, Saskatoon’s main drag on the east side. I had also found

out that the 7-Eleven on the opposite corner of the block I lived on happened to be ground zero of a riot the previous year, when the Blue Jays won for the first time.

I watched the final game, and we won. A million people were peaceful on the streets of Toronto.

And Saskatoon rioted.

A friend of mine, Linette, and I decided to go for a walk down 8th to see what was happening, and what would happen. I had a camera around my neck, with a big flash and bigger lens, to record this for prosterity.

The 7-Eleven, which had been trashed the previous year, had a cordon of police around it, protecting it from a repeat performance.

At first, the street was full of honking cars and people waving. Someone threw a beer bottle that just missed us. Around A&W, we turned back west, towards my apartment. Things started to unravel then.

The Saskatoon Police Service started assembling its riot squad in the Grosvenor Park shopping centre parking lot.

Some fired tear gas at the people, now on foot, on 8th Street to the east. We

were behind the police, and they seemed to be ignoring us, so all was good.

I even talked to one officer briefly. But as we proceeded westbound through the parking lot, we saw some people try to get into their cars, only to see police pull them out and whale on them with batons.

We got close to the video store when all of a sudden, Linette and I were on the wrong side of the police riot shields. It was at this time I was looking down, fiddling with my camera. I had lost situational awareness. Linette recalled, “I’ll never be rid of the memory of those cops forming a circle around you as you were trying to change your flash.”

One of them hit me in the back of my right leg with a truncheon. I was screaming, “I’m press, I’m press,” as I had been working as a freelancer for over a year by that point. Linette grabbed my arm and dragged me out of there before any other blows landed. Damn, did it hurt.

We ran across 8th Street to the back steps of my apartment building, where we found a couple sitting, their eyes burning from pepper spray. We

2018-19 B’fords North Stars Continued from Page 4 The Battlefords North Stars should challenge for the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League championship this season. They have the players to compete.

The club has hired a competent and able coaching staff that will put the players in the best position to win. With everyone pulling in the same direction, this club will continue to be entertaining and well worth the entertainment dollar.

The North Stars represent our community proudly and we, the public, should return that benefit with butts in the seats. Go out and support the club. They produce a fine brand of hockey. What is more important is you are then supporting young people who are striving to achieve and, for many of them, attempting to acquire a higher level of academic education by participation in athletics.

Let’s just win, North Stars!

took them up to my apartment and they flushed their eyes for about 15 minutes. It was brutal. We did experience a bit of tear gas, but it was nothing like pepper spray. They were in misery.

There wasn’t too much damage from that riot. It appears the Saskatoon Police Service was prepared to deal with rowdies.

I wasn’t there the year before, but I had heard stories the 1992 riot was just that.

Riots seem to have a life of their own. They have an energy and a pulse, a chaos most people thankfully never experience. I never expected to end up in the middle of one. While we were looking to see what would happen, we weren’t looking for trouble, nor did we cause any.

Will the Blue Jays ever inspire a Saskatchewan riot again? Some people seem to think that SkyDome, now Rogers Centre, now sucks, and to get the people to come out, we need to build a new stadium. I really hate that line of thinking, especially given the enormous cost of SkyDome. If it was good enough 25 years ago to bring out the fans, who bought the tickets, which paid for a winning team, it’s probably still good enough today.

Maybe even good enough to lead to a riot, in Saskatchewan.

New Comfort Inn earns national award Staff

North Battleford’s newest hotel has earned a national award.

Choice Hotels Canada announced the national winners of the APEX awards (Awards for Property Excellence) at the 2018 Choice Hotels Canada fall conference in Niagara Falls, Ont. The Comfort Inn & Suites was presented with the national award for 2018 Best New Entry in the category of New Build Mid-Market brands.

The newly built hotel opened this June.

It is the first Comfort hotel in Canada to display the new Comfort logo in its signage. The property has 105 rooms and is a modular build that includes, according to a press release, all the enhancements of

Twelve top performing properties across the country were awarded national APEX awards, which recognize stellar performance, ongoing commitment to guest service and community leadership.

“Winning a national APEX award is no easy feat,” says Brian Leon, president of Choice Hotels Canada.

“It requires an extraordinary amount of vision, dedication and commitment to build a hotel that provides the best possible guest experience. We could not be more proud of developer and owner Billy Coles and his team and are honoured to be part of their journey.”

Two awards for Roman Ewanchuk Submitted Roman Ewanchuk recently received two awards recognizing his long-time service helping local youth.

Oct. 2, he was awarded the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal at Saskatoon Police Headquarters, while another presentation took place shortly after at Government House in Regina, in which he earned a Correc-

tions Exemplary Service Medal of Canada.

The Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal recognizes exemplary long service of individuals “working to ensure the safety, security and protection of Saskatchewan citizens.”

The Corrections Exemplary Service Medal “recognizes the special obligations and hazardous conditions of service that

Dignitaries at the events included Saskatchewan Governor General W. Thomas Molloy, Saskatchewan Party MLAs Christine Tell and Nadine Wilson and NDP MLA Danielle Chartier.

The following is submitted by Liz Ewanchuk: Roman began his career of working with youth when he opened Redfield Group Home for Young Juvenile Delinquents.

Both Roman and his wife Elizabeth started the group home to help youth in Saskatchewan who needed a safe home environment.

They both ran the group home for 13 years from 1972 to 1985. Roman did not have a Grade 12 diploma so he earned his GED and applied to North Battleford Youth Center in August of 1985, where he continues to work.

Oliynyk gets five years minus time served Judge Deshaye calls trafficking drugs a “scourge”

By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

Nearly 11 months after he was busted for trafficking crystal methamphetamine and cocaine, Trent Oliynyk has been sentenced.

A number of charges, including trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking and weapons charges, ultimately resulted in a five-year sentence, minus 469 days, in federal penitentiary. The 469 days takes into account time served in remand counting as 1.5 days, which is dictated in the criminal code.

A DNA order, a 10-year firearms prohibition and surcharges were also imposed.

Media received a press release from RCMP in December 2017 in which four individuals, including Oliynyk and Graham Baptiste, were arrested.

Oliynyk and Baptiste were charged with trafficking drugs and other weapons offences. Oliynyk faced 22 charges.

At Oliynyk’s sentencing Oct. 19 at North Battleford Provincial Court, Crown lawyer Denis Quon told the story of undercover police buying drugs from Oliynyk on two separate incidents leading to Oliynyk’s arrest.

Locations Quon mentioned in the process of the trans-

actions included Boston Pizza and Canadian Tire parking lots.

According to Quon, Oliynyk was selling soft cocaine for $1,500 an ounce, and crystal meth for $900 an ounce. At one point, Oliynyk offered to smoke meth with the undercover, but the undercover declined.

Police later searched Oliynyk’s residence and found drugs, firearms and money.

Defence counsel George Combe, a Saskatoon lawyer, said Oliynyk’s criminal record began in 2005 but there was a 12-year gap until 2017.

Before selling drugs, Oliynyk ran a trucking business “and was actually doing quite well,” Combe said.

“Then like anything else, things fall off the rails,” Combe said, adding Oliynyk lost the business.

Graham Baptiste passed away in April. Charges were stayed.

Combe said other drug dealers who operated as Oliynyk don’t do drugs, but added Oliynyk was a meth addict at the time who also used cocaine. Addiction, Combe argued, was Oliynyk’s “real problem,” and characterized Olinyk as a “drug addict who was trying to supplement his habit by selling drugs.”

Combe argued Oliynyk was an easy target for police.

Oliynyk was initially sent to Saskatoon Correctional Centre until he was moved to a jail in Regina, according to Combe, due to renovations at the Saskatoon jail. Combe said in Regina, Oliynyk spent much time in lockup and without programming.

Combe said Oliynyk doesn’t want to be in jail again and wants to move forward with his life, adding Oliynyk wants programming and counselling and to be in a more legitimate business after release.

“He’s been a dismal failure in the drug trade,” Combe said.

Combe said Oliynyk wanted to resolve matters from the beginning. In negotiations, Combe said his position was five years while the Crowns’ “was much higher.”

In characterizing the Crown’s dealings, Combe said “they basically tell you what their price is and how many years they’re looking for.”

“To try to get them to sway off that, to try to resolve the matter without [getting] to the trial phase is not the easiest.”

Ultimately, the fiveyear sentence minus time served came from a joint submission by Crown and defence. Combe said five years in jail was on the “low end of the range, but still within range.”

Judge Lloyd Deshaye said matters had been carefully addressed by Crown and defence counsel, and said he was grateful to the lawyers for resolving the matter.

Deshaye said he didn’t have a pre-sentence report, which goes over an offender’s history, but said Oliynyk’s personal situation was addressed.

Regarding sentencing, Deshaye said circumstances vary and there aren’t a fixed number of years of imprisonment for individual cases.

“There is no pure science to this issue of imposing appropriate sentences, and it is sometimes said it is more of an art than a

Staff Reporter

An election has been made with respect to the charges against Tristan Pinder in connection to a shootout with RCMP near Highway 16 in April.

Pinder has consented to committal of all of his charges to Queen’s Bench Court in Battleford. He has elected Queen’s Bench by judge alone.

Pinder appeared Monday in North Battleford provincial court by closed-circuit TV from Saskatoon Correctional Centre. Pinder’s lawyer, who appeared by phone,

had indicated counsel were close to a plea arrangement and one global sentencing for the charges in the case.

Pinder faces 11 charges including attempted murder, possession of stolen property over $5,000, flight from police, dangerous operation of a vehicle, theft under $5,000 and other counts. He also has charges stemming from a robbery in Regina. His coaccused, Verena Petruka, faces assault with a weapon and other charges.

It is not immediately known when Pinder’s next court date will be, but it is in Queen’s Bench Court.

Pinder remains in custody.

shake something out for mutual benefit. In a way it is that way, but there is a lot of things that are involved in […] making sentencing negotiations,” adding he had no role in such negotiations.

Deshaye said he was told Oliynyk saved the Crown effort and doing so was a motivation from early on.

In concluding comments, Deshaye said drugs are “one of the most evil and nefarious parts” of society.

“Trafficking of drugs and use of drugs is a scourge [and] a very dangerous thing that happens in our community,” Deshaye said.

“We hear all the time about people who have ruined their own lives [and others’] by making people into addicts, where they become less productive and often become a real burden to society,” adding such people then often commit crimes while under the influence, and to support the habit.”

science,” Deshaye said.

“There is always going to be flexibility involved except for mandatory minimum sentences.”

Deshaye said he followed the joint submission because he didn’t have “an adequate reason not to,” and because according to “law in our jurisdiction,” if experienced counsel presents a joint submission, the court should accept it, unless it is far beyond “an acceptable, appropriate range.”

Other cases in the local jurisdiction, Deshaye said, are taken in pieces. Rather than concurrent sentences for the offences (as some of Oliynyk’s were), Oliynyk would be looking at approximately a minimum two and a half to three years for each offence to be served consecutively.

Deshaye commented on Combe’s characterization of negotiations.

“Sentencing negotiations, I would suggest, are not like NAFTA negotiations,” Deshaye said. “It’s not as though we’ve got ambassadors trying to

North Stars drop three to divisional rivals

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Close did not cut it for the Battlefords North Stars this past week.

They played three games against divisional opponents, but ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard in all of them.

The North Stars lost in a shootout on the road to Kindersley Klippers 3-2 (see story Page 12), lost to Notre Dame Hounds 5-3 at home Friday and then lost in overtime to the Humboldt Broncos 3-2 on Saturday.

The North Stars emerged from that critical stretch of games having earned just two out of a possible six points in the standings.

The games, however, had all been competitive.

The North Stars had played well most of the time. It was the other times that had head coach Brayden Klimosko concerned.

“We haven’t played enough 60 minute games at the end of the day is what it comes down to,” said Klimosko. “That’s why we’re losing these tight ones, and we’re going to need 60 to win them.”

There were lots of lessons to come out of these games, Klimosko said, including the need to defend a lead late and play 3-on-3 overtime. “There’s lots we’ve got to learn as a team, as a group,” said Klimosko.

Notre Dame 5 North Stars 3

A four-goal secondperiod deficit was too much for the Battlefords North Stars to overcome in their home contest Fri-

day against Notre Dame Hounds.

The Hounds won 5-3, despite a strong third period for the North Stars who ultimately outshot them in the game 36-20. The Hounds’ early lead was simply insurmountable for the North Stars.

The fifth Hounds goal was enough to chase goaltender Joel Grzybowski out of the net, replaced by Adam Dmyterko the rest of the way. Grzybowski had just returned to the team after a brief call-up by Victoria Royals of the WHL. The game was played on “retro jersey night,” with the North Stars wore the retro colours of the Battlefords Barons, the name of the franchise during its first decade of existence.

The game jerseys were later auctioned off. This also marked alumni weekend for the team with a free skate happening Sunday at the Civic Centre.

Penalties were a big reason the North Stars got in an early hole Friday. The first Notre Dame goal was from Kyle Robinson on the power play, with the North Stars’ MacGregor Sinclair in the box for high sticking.

Tanner Tarbell made it 2-0 and then Nolan Renwick scored on the power play late in the period. At the end of the first the scoreboard read 3-0, prompting one fan to remark “it’s a pretty boring game.”

It got more interesting in the second period, but not much better for the North Stars as the Hounds’ Charles Martin added to the misery with his goal 35 seconds into the second

period.

Owen Lamb finally got the North Stars on the board at the 1:07 mark, but then Jared Hamm’s goal seconds later made it 5-1 Hounds.

That prompted head coach Brayden Klimosko to bring out the hook for Grzybowski, who had stopped only 7 of 12 shots.

The frustration continued when what looked like a North Stars goal was called “no goal.” That was followed up by a fight.

Braydon Buziak and Cole Stevenson both took major fighting and game misconduct penalties.

The North Stars finally settled down after that.

They got goals by Sinclair shorthanded later on in the second, and then by Cody Spagrud seven minutes into the third.

The North Stars dominated in shots in the third period, overwhelming the Hounds 17 to 3. Despite a valiant effort in the third period, a comeback win was not in the cards.

Hounds goalie Andrew Henderson stopped 33 of 36 shots in the win. He also managed to get an assist on the goal by Renwick.

Adam Dmyterko stopped all eight shots fired his way after taking over the net in relief.

in net for the North Stars and was much improved, stopping 40 of 43 shots.

However, Rayce Ramsay was even more impressive, stopping 45 of 47.

The game was scoreless going into the second period when Michael Clarke scored the lone goal for Humboldt, Josh Patrician assisting.

The fisticuffs came out a couple of times in the

game. One incident saw Matthias Urbanski tossed out with checking from behind and game misconduct penalties, while in the third period another incident saw Regan Doig hit with a boarding penalty.

In the third, Braydon Buziak scored 2:28 into the period with Elijah LoonStewardson and Austin Shumanski assisting, to tie the game. Owen Lamb then

scored at the 14:39 mark to give the North Stars the lead, Buziak and LoonStewardson assisting.

But Reid Arnold’s goal tied it with 4:13 left to go, and it was Derek Patter’s goal that won it in overtime, rifling past Grzybowski to stun the crowd of 1,152 at the Civic Centre.

Luke Spadafora and Mark Edmands got the assists.

Eight teams vie for boys’ 2A soccer title

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The 2A provincial boys’ soccer championship was decided this weekend in North Battleford.

Chief Poundmaker School/Little Pine hosted the eight-team tournament on Friday and Saturday at Centennial Park, with the championship decided on Saturday afternoon.

In the title game it was Yorkton Sacred Heart who emerged victorious by a 3-2

count over Moose Jaw Central at the North Battleford track field.

Yorkton won all three of its games, defeating Moose Jaw Peacock in the opening round and then hammering Regina Luther 9-3 en route to the finals.

The third-place game saw Regina Riffel defeat Regina Luther 4-3, while Se Se Wa Hum defeated Poundmaker/Little Pine 2-1 in the consolation game. The hosts had split their previous games in the draw, losing to Regina Luther 4-3 while beating Moose Jaw Peacock 5-3.

vincial semifinal action.

Game time is 1 p.m. at Crusader Field.

In 1A playoffs the Hafford Vikings season beat LCBI 79 to 57 to remain alive. Hafford’s next game is versus Southey on Saturday in Hafford at 1 p.m..

With the Global Ag Risk Solutions Division already tight, the Battlefords North Stars had three important divisional games in four nights this past week.

They looked to gain ground in the division in their first game, against the first-place Kindersley Klippers. The Klippers already have two wins over the North Stars from early in the season.

It did not take long for the North Stars to get on the board last Wednesday in Kindersley. Ryan Gil scored just 11 seconds into the game, with MacGregor Sinclair and Matthias Urbanski getting the assists.

It proved to be a chippy first period between the two arch rivals. A huge fight erupted with 5:52

left in period one as the North Stars’ Kaden Boser dropped the gloves and exchanged blows with Tyson Laduke. Both went off for major fighting penalties.

Not long after Kindersley tied it at 1-1 on Josh Fletcher’s goal. That would be all the scoring through one. The Klippers led in shots through one, 13-12.

There was no scoring in the second period but the Klippers dominated in shots, outshooting the North Stars 12-3. They also outshot them 19-6 in the third period.

Despite that, it was the North Stars who took a 2-1 lead on Cody Spagrud’s goal early in the third period. But the Klippers tied it on Tyler Traptow’s unassisted marker with 17 seconds left in regulation time, forcing the game to overtime.

Frustration vented on Ice Wolves

Continued from Page 11 “I think we battled hard at times and sometimes we didn’t,” Klimosko said afterwards.

“It wasn’t good enough.

In the third we were finally catching it and understanding what you’re going to need to win those hockey games. Yeah, it stings right now.”

North Stars 8, La Ronge 3 After three narrow losses, the Battlefords North Stars took out their recent frustrations on the La Ronge Ice Wolves Tuesday night.

The North Stars put a full 60 minutes together in routing La Ronge 8-3, racing to a 3-0 lead in the first period and a 6-1 lead

In that three-on-three session the Klippers outshot the North Stars 3-1, but the game remained deadlocked and headed to a shootout.

With the Klippers up 1-0 in the shootout period on Caden Benson’s goal, the North Stars needed MacGregor Sinclair to score to keep their shootout hopes alive.

Fortunately, he beat Justen Close to tie it up.

Unfortunately, the Klippers still had one shooter left and it was Austen Nault who scored lifting the Klippers to the 3-2 final score.

Adam Dmyterko stopped 44 of 46 shots in regulation time and overtime, but his heroics in net failed to bail out the rest of the team. The Klippers outshot the North Stars by a grand total of 47 to 23.

in the second. They outshot the Ice Wolves 47-14 in the game.

The North Stars took the lead in the first on goals by Tanner Robin, Ryan Gil and then MacGregor Sinclair. Mitch Zambon scored the lone La Ronge goal in the first.

In the second, Elijah Loon-Stewardson scored 23 seconds in, with Sinclair adding his second of the game a minute and a half later. That was enough to chase Daniel Davidson out of the La Ronge net.

Immediately after Jordan Frey took over in goal, Owen Lamb beat him for his ninth of the season at the 2:22 mark. Max Kleiner later responded for La Ronge before Regan Doig extended the lead to 7-2 midway through the period.

Third period goals from the Ice Wolves’ Dalton Dosko and from Matthias Urbanski, his 11th of the season, rounded the scoring. Joel Grzybowski got the win in net for the North Stars stopping 11 of 14.

The North Stars now have a record of 9-5-1-2 on the season. Next up for the North Stars is a weekend road trip to the southeast for three games in three nights against Estevan, Weyburn and Notre Dame.

Stars lose in Tisdale, Barons attend tourney

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Battleford Arena was full of kids and their families dressed up for Halloween Monday night.

It was the family Halloween skate hosted by Skate Battlefords. This is one of a number of events they try to put on to mark holidays or special dates on the calendar, including a Christmas skate.

“We always like to cel-

ebrate the different holidays,” said Adele Sperle, board member with Skate Battlefords, who says the organization has a number of programs going on this season.

They started their Canskate program a couple of weeks ago, where the kids learn to skate and improve their ability and skill level.

“The basics are skating forward, skating backward, stopping, turning,” said coach Cindy Timoruski.

They also teach how to go fast. She said it is good training for moving on to figure skating and ringette as well as hockey.

That runs twice a week and there are about 30 kids enrolled. The more advanced program is StarSkate and about 20 are enrolled there.

Those looking for more information can go to their website at SkateBattlefords.ca, or to their Facebook page.

SJHL/MJHL Showcase returns in January

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and Manitoba Junior Hockey League are again teaming up to host the SJHL/MJHL Showcase.

It will be in Regina at Co-operators Centre Jan. 14-15, 2019. It will feature three teams from each of the two Junior A leagues, made up of the top 60 players in the SJHL and in the MJHL. The teams will consist of players aged 16 to 20 who will be selected by the coaches from their respective leagues.

One team will be players 18 and under and two will be made up of players who are 20 and under. All teams play two games each.

This is the second year in a row for the event, coming off what was described in an SJHL news release as a “very positive” first Showcase in January in Regina.

“The SJHL is extremely excited about the opportunity to collaborate with the MJHL by showcasing the top players in our leagues in a new event that gives our players a chance to showcase their skills and abilities for scouts from all higher levels of hockey,” said Bill Chow, president

of the SJHL, in a statement.

SJHL director of marketing and communications Logan Fraser said in a news release that the plan this year is to “have the same entertainment value with live streaming, broad-

casting, large LED screens throughout the rink and of course many scouts in attendance.

“We welcome and encourage the public to come out and watch some elite hockey.”

The Battlefords Stars were in Tisdale for two games Friday and Saturday against the Tisdale Trojans in midget AAA play, but wound up on the short end of both.

They lost Friday’s contest 4-2, despite having a 2-1 lead through one period. Luke Fennig and Cale Tuer-Treble were the goal scorers in that game, but Tisdale tied it on the power play goal from Cade Hayes in the second and Skylar Olson got the game winner on the power play in the third.

Saturday’s contest saw Tisdale blank the Stars 4-0.

Tanner Martin stopped all 20 Stars shots in the Trojans’ win. Next action for the Stars is home to Swift Current Saturday night and then again Sunday afternoon at the Civic Centre.

The Battlefords Sharks had the weekend off. Their next games are against the Saskatoon Stars on Saturday and Sunday on the road.

Search for Ashley Morin, 31, continues

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Family members are not giving up on efforts to find Ashley Nicole Morin, who has been missing since July 10.

Oct. 24, they gathered to raise awareness with a missing persons’ awareness walk to “bring Ashley Morin home.”

The activities began during the noon hour at the Gold Eagle Casino. Battlefords Victims Services initiated the event, inviting family members to join them at the casino for lunch, and also donated the food. The casino donated the room.

During the lunch hour Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre provided a presentation on “ambiguous loss,” which describes a loss where there is no finality.

The main point presenters made was for the family members to understand their emotions and reactions are normal, and to understand people react in different ways.

Afterwards, family members gathered for the walk through the streets of North Battleford commencing at

Battlefords RCMP detachment. It continued down 102nd Street to Central Park for prayers there.

It was an emotional gathering for family members, who shed many tears during lunch and again during the walk and prayers. Pictures of Ashley Morin were evident at the lunch, and were then carried by family members during the walk.

Krista Fox, who was spokesperson for the family, said it was a difficult time.

“They are not doing well, physically, spiritually and emotionally,” said Fox. “They will not be whole again until we bring Ashley home.”

Fox stood beside Ashley’s sister Janine Morin as she made those remarks. “Janine’s struggled very much with her baby sister being missing, and for that, I give her strength each day.”

Fox read a statement from the family members that included these words about Ashley.

Ashley’s mother Diane Morin had stated: “Our Ash, my sweet beautiful baby girl I love and miss you so much.

No words can explain the pain and emptiness I feel and the

uncontrollable tears that flow most days. I (we) want you home with us. To hear your voice, your laughter would be the greatest gift. With heavy hearts we continue to search for you. We will … not give up until you are home. I (we) are grateful for the all the support we have and continue to receive.”

The message Fox read from Ashley’s father Lyndon Bird was simple: “I want my sunshine back in my life.”

The family continues to ask the public for their support and tips. “If you know of anything, it might be the smallest lead, please phone it in to the RCMP station,” Fox said.

She pledged the search for Morin will go on until she is found.

“The search will never stop. We will never give up, until we bring Ash home. That is our sole reason for living, for being, is we will not rest until Ashley is home.”

Ashley Nicole Morin is 31 years old, 5’ 2”, 110lbs with dark brown hair. She was last seen July 10 in North Battleford, wearing grey sweatpants, black shirt with white writing, black hat and sunglasses. There is a $5,000 reward for solid information on her whereabouts.

Men’s health: Five good practices to adopt

A Modern Hair, Spa & Tanning Studio

Tanning Salon Hair Salon Spa #202 872 - 103rd Street North Battleford

306-446-4569

The Movember Foundation encourages men to attend to their health, not only this November, but throughout the year. Here are some of the best ways men can take care of themselves.

Regular physical exercise boosts your overall health and wards off a host of medical problems.

So get active! Both low-intensity and high-intensity exercise offers an array of benefits; simply choose the type of sport or activity that suits you best. Yoga, hockey, running and swimming are among the many possibilities.

When times are tough, many men suffer in silence. If you’re feeling anxious or down, talk with someone you can trust. Consider reaching out to a non-profit organization, a counselling centre or a mental health service provider nearby.

Know your family’s medical history: you’ll be able to adopt a lifestyle that keeps potential health problems at bay. In addition, this information will be invaluable to your doctor, as it will give him or her a more complete understanding of your health.

Keep in touch with friends and family. This will help to stave off or combat mental health problems like depression and generalized anxiety disorder.

Don’t delay in attending to health concerns. If you have symptoms that are worrying you, visit your doctor right way. In the case of a serious illness, an early diagnosis can significantly increase your chances of making a full recovery.

Insurance providers donate $150,000 to New Beginnings Staff

Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life saw a need and generously supported the Saskatchewan Hospital New Beginnings campaign with a donation of $150,000, according to a New Beginnings press release.

In recognition of their support, the fitness room in the new Saskatchewan Hospital will be called the Canada Life Fitness Room.

Saskatchewan Hospital is the only psychiatric rehabilitation treatment facility in the province, and the new hospital reflects the change and future of mental health care, the release states.

The New Beginnings campaign is raising $8 million for needed medical equipment and furnishings for the new Saskatchewan Hospital under construction in North Battleford and nearing completion.

“The new facility is a place that can help patients reclaim their independence and help them reintegrate into the community,” said Debbie Down, director, Community Relations, Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life.

Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life has made a $150,000 donation to the Saskatchewan Hospital New Beginnings campaign. Photo submitted

“We’re proud to support this campaign and the hospital as they build a facility that will help ensure individuals suffering from a mental illness will get the help they need, when they need it.”

“We’re getting very close to reaching our campaign goal of $8 million,” said Corinne Bernier Delainey, New Beginnings fundraising lead.

“With the support of Great-West Life,

London Life and Canada Life we are now only $250,000 away from our target. The patients and staff are getting very excited as the new hospital prepares to welcome them all home in November.”

Warm, dry spell a boon to harvest operations

By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

What a Godsend the past couple weeks have been for the farmers. Finally the fields are being harvested and bales hauled in and you see those big white bags in the fields

where the grain is being stored. Some went into bins, but the chance of it heating in bins is greater.

Mixing damp grain with very dry grain makes it possible to move more, as the moisture transfers and evens out.

The local store is closed

for 10 days until Nov. 6 while staff take holidays.

More than a dozen folks gathered at the Do Drop In Wednesday morning to enjoy coffee and muffins and a social hour.

Iverson and Eric Callbeck, second were Mary Greenwald and Joyce Antoine and third were Robert Iverson and Linda Ard. In The Pioneer Hall Oct. 25, top score went to David Sharpe and Janet Schindel, second high were Jean Lawes and Joyce Luckey and third were Fraser Glen and Mary Phelps. This night they had 20 players turn out, a nice crowd.

The flu clinic Oct. 23 had a total of 115 people turn out between 3 and 6 p.m. and the nurses reported a good turnout at the Edam clinic that morning. It seems most people agree that it does pay to be inoculated.

The results of the RM election Oct. 24 for Divisions 2, 4 and 6 are: Division 2 - Gil Cadrain, Division 4 - Gary Heidel and Division 6 - Bernard Nedelec. They had a good turnout of taxpayers.

The lawn bowling building, across from Caleb Village was the setting for a gathering of 31 members of the Sons of Norway, from this area and a couple from Saskatoon. A delicious noon meal was served buffet style with four pots of soup and lots of sandwiches. Following this 23 folks stayed on to spend the afternoon playing Canasta, Norwegian whist, Tile Rummy and visiting. Guests from Saskatoon who joined us were Nancy Iverson and Lois Campbell and Adele Feschuk is from Turtle Lake. Before leaving all enjoyed pie and coffee and thanked the organizers for a job well done.

white and yellow lines on the new pavement on Highway 4, north of the city, are appreciated and will be more so when the snow covers parts of the road. At night it is hard to see where you are on the black pavement without them. Still no lights at the 13-mile corner, but that will come as time permits, as they are lying there waiting to go back up.

Walking along the lake most days revealed the action of the geese. The snow geese have been thick and busy for weeks, now they seem to have moved on southward, along with the lesser Canada geese and today, Sunday, are displaced with the big Canada geese. The bay below Memorial Hill was noisy today with them and not one snow goose among them. I wonder how long they will stay in the area.

Another Spiritwood resident who passed Oct. 21 was Phil Dufour, only 76. He was predeceased by his wife Lorraine (Charlebois) many years ago.

The Coquihalla Highway between Merritt and Hope, B.C. was closed after getting six to 10 inches of snow Saturday night

and more on Sunday. The elevation is so high that they get lots of snow, almost year round.

The Pinty’s curling is over again and the most popular people came in second, at least in my family’s opinion. Rachel Homan missed her game when her last rock didn’t get into the house and Kevin Koe’s miss was almost the same. The fact that Saskatoon player on the Koe rink, Colton Flasch, is known in the Denholm area, makes it more interesting to follow.

A financial contribution toward having the trees at the Meota Cemetery trimmed came for the Meota Community Funeral Lunch Committee, and was appreciated.

A full page in the September newsletter tells of the many offerings that the local hotel has for us, from rooms to daily meals from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the café.

Evening meals are offered in the steak pit every day.

Wednesday is wing night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday is full menu with ribs and steak specials. They offer take-out meals and delivery of food and liquor.

Workshop focus on volunteer recruitment

By Lorraine Olinyk Correspondent

Oct. 23, Rivers West District held a workshop in Borden Community Centre on recruiting volunteers.

Bonnie Mills Midgley, community development co-ordinator who works out of an office in St. Walburg, organized the workshop.

Guest speaker was Brenda Robinson from Sherwood Park, Alta.

Those attending were from Borden, Osler, Saskatoon and Prince Albert and the Roadside Inn catered to the luncheon.

It was a an enjoyable and fun workshop with Brenda presenting the top 12 strategies for managing volunteers and also talking about the generational divide. Twelve per cent of Canadians are aged 70 and older, 35 per cent are the Baby Boomers aged 47 to 70, Generation X have 23 per cent and are those aged 32 – 47, Millennials (gamers, Gen.”Y”) comprise 21 per cent of Canadians and are aged 20-32, Generation “Z”(gen “Why”) comprise 11 per cent aged 13 – 20, then Generation “Alpha”(Extreemers”) up

to age 13 make up 20 per cent of Canadians. She gave examples on how to deal with each generation and the best ways to recruit them as volunteers.

Some suggestions were to ask people not tell them what to do, let them come and try volunteering and, for the older folk, let the younger ones do things the way they want to not how you want it done. She said to stop and listen to them and give feedback in a way that is not demanding.

The Borden Friendship Club monthly potluck supper was held Oct. 24 with close to 60 out for the evening. Blowing out the candles on the cakes baked by Eileen Petrun were Stew Walton, Sheila Block, Peter Thiessen and guest Tom Grummett. Entertaining for the evening were Tim and Ramona Grummett, with various dress changes to suit the songs they were singing.

sing. Tim also portrayed Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Ramona portrayed Patsy Cline and Lynn Anderson. Tim changed to an old timer with a grey beard and red drawers to sing Honey, I’m Worn Out Tonight, citing all his problems, then pulled off the drawers to become Elvis in white satin.

At the Kaiser games Oct. 23, the winning hands were held by John Petrun and Daphne Pearce and low hand, Gary Kirlenko.

Next Kaiser is Nov. 13 at 7 p.m.

After the St. John’s Anglican Church service in Borden on Oct. 28, a farewell luncheon was held for Ann Brand who has moved to Saskatoon, after living in Borden for more than 70 years. There were more than 40 at the church service conducted by Rev. Carr, with Emily Saunders and Ann Brand reading scriptures and Linda Hosegood the organist.

At the luncheon in the lower hall, many came from the Riverbend Fellowship Church and a number of Ann’s family from Saskatoon and visitors from Radisson, Bor-

den and elsewhere dropped in.

Rev. Carr thanked Ann for her many years of service to the Anglican Church and asked God to bless her in her new place.

Sharon Assman presented Ann with a large bouquet of flowers from the church family, thanking her for her dedication, great attitude, friendliness and openness.

Ann thanked everyone for coming and Sheldon and Roseann Carr for all their work in keeping the church going. She stated she may be forgetful at times but she won’t forget this day.

Upcoming at Borden are flu shots at the Borden Health Clinic Nov. 1 from 1 to 4 p.m. There is a luncheon Nov. 2 at St. John’s Anglican Church Lower Hall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at no charge, but donations to local Christmas hampers are appreciated. The musical group The Wardens will be doing a concert in the Borden Community Centre Sunday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at a cost of $15.

They are former game wardens and tell stories about each song they wrote related to their work and mountain culture.

As always there was a table of information of pamphlets there and right beside a children’s shooting gallery where participants could shoot a plastic dart gun at an inflatable deer or bear. Everyone who did earned a prize. There was a colouring contest to win a children’s patio set that Winterhalt made.

“We had over 140 people out to the shoot. It was a little slower this time, but way more fun,” Winterhalt said.

“I love seeing new shooters get excited over the shooting and hunting sport. It is a lot of work, but with the unbelievable group I have helping me clean, set up, run, take down and clean again, our Wilkie Hunter Safety Turkey Shoot Fundraiser is worth the work.”

Money raised goes to the hunter safety program.

Funds buy supplies for skeet shooting and target shooting by students as well as keeping up with training aids.

‘Ladies and escorts:’ Women allowed in bars in the 1960s When Jack and John Morrow opened the Shell Lake Hotel in 1957, only men were allowed in the beverage room.

On Saturday nights, while the farmers were enjoying each other’s company in the bar, their wives often had nowhere to go. According to the Shell Lake local history book (1983), the Morrows made a tiny room in the hotel basement available where the women could visit without disturbing, or being disturbed by, the men. Saskatchewan beer parlours were men-only establishments until the early 1960s, when provincial liquor legislation permitted mixed drinking in newly christened “beverage rooms.”

Throughout 1958, the Saskatchewan’s Liquor Sales Outlet Inquiry Committee received 40 written briefs and heard 80 presentations from various organizations. Rev. T.E.J. Gibbon of the Saskatchewan Temperance Federation, for example, strongly opposed having women in beer parlours. “There are many nice women who would like to have a drink, no doubt,” Gibbon said, “but there are many of the other kind, and it would provide them with a nice, warm office.”

In March of 1959, the committee made three

joanchamp@shaw.ca main recommendations: Beer parlours should be improved; the liquor act should be more strictly enforced; and there should be mixed drinking outlets. On April 1, 1959, the Liquor Licensing Act was passed by the provincial legislature. It established a process of local options votes whereby licensed dining rooms, cocktail bars and beverage rooms could be established in Saskatchewan communities.

Women were allowed into these new liquor outlets. Regulations required that hotel make renovations to convert their beer parlours into beverage rooms in order to accommodate mixed drinking.

Men-only beer parlours could continue to operate, but no beer parlour licenses would be issued to hotels not already licensed at the beginning of 1959.

Local option votes were held in 195 Saskatchewan communities in November 1959. Most of these com-

munities voted “No” to the new types of liquor outlets. They would have to wait until 1964 before they could vote on the question again.

Leask was one of the few villages in the province that voted “Yes.” On Feb. 11, 1960, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix reported that the Windsor Hotel in Leask opened the first beverage room in rural Saskatchewan.

The 150-seat beverage room had been decorated in shades of mocha, rosewood and aqua, with matching furniture, receiving “general praise” for its appearance.

Millions of dollars were spent by the hotel owners of Saskatchewan to improve their licensed outlets. For example, Joe and Bernie Kaufman, owners

of the Ponteix Hotel, made extensive renovations to convert their beer parlour into a beverage room in 1961.

The result, the town’s local history book observes, was a more pleasant space that included a fountain, a large aquarium and carpeting throughout.

Ab Montgomery, proprietor of the Tisdale Hotel, spent $60,000 enlarging and renovating his beverage room in 1964.

Getting spooked at Fort B’ford

By Averil Hall

Freelance Reporter

Loud screams and then laughter were heard intermittently in the cool clear night air at Fort Battleford Historic Site Saturday.

Many volunteers from Red Deer, Alta., Lloydminster, Saskatoon, Fort Walsh and the Battlefords went all out to create the ghoulish atmosphere to present the 2018 version of Haunted Fort.

Visitors waited in the main building until a shuttle came to take them to the stockade. The first stop for the visitors was the commanding officer’s house. From there they continued on to the officers’ quarters, then the horse stables and the jailhouse. After that they were shuttled to Barracks 5 to end the evening of fright.

Doorways, under tables, stairways, jail rooms, dark corners and even outside the buildings were used to the maximum. Nothing was off limits for ghouls to hide and jump out at guests.

Visitors left laughing at being thoroughly frightened by the night’s activity.

Tami Conley-Blais and her volunteers can be proud they have successfully executed the 13th Haunted Fort Battleford evening.

This volunteer hid in the jail cell and jumped out as visitors walked by.

In this darkened room a lit up face greeted visitors.

Open doors produced monsters.

Women in beverage rooms in 1960s Continued from Page 25 The Regina LeaderPost reported that carpet, acoustic tile and inset lighting were installed, a new entrance was constructed and new tables and chairs were added to the Tisdale premises.

The new liquor law improved Saskatchewan’s drinking culture. At the 31st convention of the Hotels Association in 1962, Stewart told the delegates that, since the passage of the Liquor Licensing Act three years earlier, the overall standards of beverage rooms were “magnificent,” adding that women had lent the new drinking establishments “an air of decency.” A provincial government study of the drinking habits of residents in an unnamed town

reported in 1963 that the “dire predictions that the new beverage outlet would sharply increase drinking in the community have not been fulfilled.”

It would take another 10 years before the last menonly bars disappeared in Saskatchewan. The StarPhoenix wrote on May 25, 1972 that the Warman Hotel and the Marchwell Hotel were the last two beer parlours in Saskatchewan that did not allow women to drink in their premises.

Residents had consistently voted against mixed drinking in local option votes.

Amendments to provincial liquor laws in 1972 changed the status of beer parlours and Vic Lynn, proprietor of the Warman Hotel, could finally take down the “Men Only” sign.

A huge thank you goes out to Tim Horton’s for providing hot chocolate and muffins for players and spectators. We would also like to thank our many volunteer coaches who stepped up to coach a team when needed. Without you guys this league would not be possible. A special thank you goes out to coaches Kevin Migneault, Eric Cawood, Taylor Kock, Dallan Oberg and Ben Cain for your patience and dedication to the game of football.

Lastly we would like to thank the North Battleford Elks of Canada for their constant support with our league.

Forge donated to Eagle Hills Blacksmith Shop

By Dorothy M. Mills Correspondent

In my last news report “Preserving heritage property an important priority” (Regional Optimist Oct. 25) there was a mistake. The donation Stanley Mills made to the Fred Light Museum Eagle Hills Blacksmith Shop was a Canadian Blower blacksmith forge.

The harvesting has gone well with lovely sunny days to dry things out, but there are still a few fields not finished. Some farmers are busy baling the straw before winter does hit the area. After the week or so of fine weather it is starting to change back to showers to wet everything down again.

Let’s hope Mother Nature holds on for another week or so, but Mother Nature has a mind of her own.

The farmers just have to work with her.

The Battlefords, Thursday, November 1, 2018 - Page 33

www.newsoptimist.ca

The last work bee on gas tractors at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford did not have a very good turnout of volunteers due to many of them involved in the finishing the harvesting.

There has been a work crew from Saskatoon finishing the steam train engine project. It has been repainted plus some work has been done on the assorted boxcars and flat cars behind the engine.

Museum staff have been busy decorating for the Christmas to light up the drive through the village.

Some sponsors are coming in to decorate before the weather gets nasty.

Nov. 2, Daylight Savings Time comes to an

end and it is back to winter hours, but at least the better part of Saskatchewan does not change. Some travel and TV times will change, however.

Hunting season has been on for a while for birds and big game. The season goes on for a while yet. So take care and watch for the hunters. At least now more fields are cleared of crops, but watch out for no hunting signs as there are some out there.

Happy hunting to all.

RCMP answer questions at Legion Hall meeting

By Dorothy Schwartz Correspondent

MAIDSTONE — Cribbage was played at the Maidstone Drop In Centre Oct 15 with high score going to Bev Stewart and low to Jean Hartman. Lunch was supplied by Denise Newton.

Bingo was played Oct. 17 with Margaret MacEachern and Bev Stewart doing the calling.

Lunch provided by was Denise Newton.

The RCMP meeting was held at the Legion Hall Oct. 18 with about 40 people in attendance.

Spt. Grant St. Germaine of Prince Albert detachment gave an informative talk on local and staffing improvements. Information on the growing, use and fines related to marijuana was open for questions.

Cribbage was played Oct. 22 with high score going to Dorothy Schwartz, who also supplied lunch.

Low went to Bev Stewart.

Bingo was played Oct. 24 with Joan Smith and Margaret MacEachern doing the calling. Lunch was supplied by Dorothy Schwartz.

The next movie night will be Friday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. Popcorn and cold drinks will be available.

Due to the curling of faulty shingles supplied by a company that has declared bankruptcy, the roof has had to be reshingled before it starts leaking creating more problems. The cost has put a huge hardship on the seniors’ organization finances. We have started a campaign to raise money ourselves, but need help from Maidstone and area residents. We also need new members in order to

keep running. This building is used by many other organizations as it is conveniently located and has an off-the-street parking lot. If you wish to make a donation contact Dorothy Schwartz 306-893-2663, Margaret MacEachern 306-893-2379 or Shannon Smith 306-893-2551.

Income tax receipts are available. Cheques can be made out to Maidstone Seniors’ Centre. Fortunately the weather co-operated and the shingling has been completed by a local company, Hegel Construction.

Correction: In “Museum sssociation members meet in Unity” (RegionalOptimist, Oct. 25) the North West Museums Association was incorrectly identified. The author of the piece also objected to other edits made to her submission. She felt it was important to note the Adanac is Canada spelled backwards and objected to the conversion of seven miles to kilometres.

Heavens to Mergatroyd, I didn’t remember that!

I told Ed, my old neighbour in Saskatchewan, that my memory is not hunky dory anymore. I gave a wrong answer when leading Bible study last Sunday and was hung out to dry with a quick correction.

It was obvious I needed to straighten up and fly right as the leader.

I felt like Superman with no phone booth to change his identity in and it was clear, as a leader, I was a knucklehead.

Ed, my old neighbour, was quick to tell me I had found myself in a fine kettle of fish.

He concluded it was time for me to wake up and smell the coffee, not roses. He warned me at

my age I need to drink a great deal of coffee to stay awake and be sharper. He recommended I take a huge coffee with me into my Bible study, so I would at least seem smarter.

Since I knew Ed was getting warmed up to tell me what old geezers like me need to do, I tried to change the topic by telling him about taking a course at the university about ageism.

My old neighbour said he did not believe there is such a thing as ageism, that there is prejudice or discrimination against seniors or the elderly. Ed doesn’t believe there are sexism and racism either.

When I forget a right

answer in Bible study, Ed pointed out it proves I am old, and my memory is like Swiss cheese.

When he ran out of gas in his grain truck, it was because he was so busy he forgot to fill his truck up with gas. When others forget things, we think they should have remembered them.

When people are young, we may say they are clueless when they forget.

When they are neither young nor old, we say they were busy and preoccupied with other stuff.

When they are seniors or the elderly, we assume they have lost it. They

are not with it anymore.

Some folks accuse God of forgetting about them.

Another side of that is the observation we may forget about God. There is the compelling case of Jonah in the Bible who not only refused to do what God asked him to do, but ran away in the opposite direction on a ship.

Jonah was a prophet of God, but he rebelled and refused to go where God wanted him to go with a message. Jonah was thrown off the boat and swallowed by a huge sea creature, perhaps a whale.

When Jonah’s life was ebbing away inside the

creature, he remembered God and prayed to God. God heard his prayer and the creature spit Jonah out.

He went and delivered the message that God wanted him to speak.

Could it be that we, at every age, forget about God more than he forgets about us?

The prophet Isaiah spoke these words from God to his people, “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?

“Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, “I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.”

100s of customers...here’s what some have to say about pureWash “I’ve done in excess of 5000 loads” (probably closer to 10k) of laundry over this past 18 months. Donated clothes, linens and Volunteers’ laundry that has had every kind of contaminant, stain, mold, and sweat has come out without a complaint. We’ve saved 40 plus gaylords of clothing and linens that were on their way to the Rag Man. They had been left out in the rain, then stored in warm 120 degrees plus trailers and were on incubator for mold and mildew. The smell vanished and they all come out spring fresh.

TRY ME FOR FREE! Take me home risk free for 14 days. If you’re not completely satisifed bring me back for a full refund.

Designed to purify the air in an individual room, pureAir 500 uses three advanced technologies to eliminate bacteria, viruses,odors, smoke, pollen, mold, pet dander, and more.

“I own the pureWash system for my home. I can only say amazing when it comes to describing your product. The clothes are cleaner then they have ever been! I truly think this product is spectacular and I am spreading the word! My farmer uses it for his towels for his cows, I smelled them before and after, I then went and bought one. I can’t tell you how clean this stuff is!”

“We love this. Towels are fluffier. We use very little

“It really cleans my clothes great with little detergent and keeps my clothes looking newer longer. I have saved a lot of money now that I don’t use as much detergent. I love this product.”
