Capital projects planned

By John Cairns

$5.5M debt approved by city council

Regional Optimist

w w w. n ew s o p t i m i s t . c a

Staff Reporter

North Battleford city council has approved taking on $5.5 million in debt for a number of capital projects.

Details were presented at council Monday. The projects include: • $1.2 million for land development in Kildeer Park, Parsons Industrial Park and Cameron McIntosh Airport; • $800,000 in leisure facility betterments including $240,000 to the Civic Centre and $500,000 to the aquatic centre;

• $500,000 to the water utility water supply, specifically a new groundwater well; and • $500,000 road transportation improvements for the Territorial Drive centre median.

These three projects were covered in the 2015 capital budget. But additional projects were approved out of budget and they include: • $500,000 to the waste management facility equipment; and • $2,000,000 for land acquisition for future residential development.

The $5.5 million brings the city close to their debt limit of $45 mil-

The Kiwanis Club celebrated their donation to the Ronald McDonald House Monday with a presentation of a $2,000 cheque to Tammy Forrester of Ronald McDonald House Saskatoon. That represents the final two installments of a $5,000 donation commitment. Also presented was a cheque representing the $10,000 Kiwanis contribution in the province.

Report on national Crime Prevention conference in Calgary

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Council heard a presentation from Herb Sutton and Tim Yeaman on the City’s attendance at the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design conference in Calgary Oct. 19 and 20.

There were five delegates attending representing the City, and the conference included attendees from all over the world. Among the projects presented at that conference was the community garden built behind the Lighthouse, a project that was developed using the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.

Other items at a relatively routine council meeting Monday night: City director of operations Stewart Schafer relayed news to council that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has given its approval to North Battleford

for the processed bio-solids from the North Battlefords Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The product has met all requirements under the Fertilizer Act and Regulations and may now be sold in Canada as a legal fertilizer, using the fertilizer name LysteGro. The Lystek system has been in place at the wastewater treatment plant since last December to convert the biosolids from the plant into fertilizer. The city had been awaiting the approval from the federal government.

Commentary

Raise your glass to the farmer you don’t know

By Brady Deaton

When Americans sit down for Thanksgiving dinner this month, just like Canadians did last month, most of them will not know the farmer who produced their food. This is one of the greatest triumphs of our agrifood system, even if it is under-appreciated.

From 1993 to 1995, I lived in a remote village in the Mokhotlong district of Lesotho. If I was able to find someone who would sell eggs in the village, I not only knew the individual but I most likely could point to the chicken coop that produced the eggs. But personally knowing the farmer or the farm location does not contribute to food abundance or food security.

Conversely, residents of developed countries such as the United States and Canada don’t generally know the farmer who produced their food or the location of the farm.

Markets effectively link producers to consumers. From a global and historical perspective, this anonymity is part of the reason you spend a smaller percentage of your income on food than your grandparents.

Letter

Coupled with international trade and technological innovation, the capacity to exchange with strangers is part of the reason most North Americans live in urban areas and have jobs outside the agricultural sector. Many of us enjoy growing our own gardens without feeling that our children depend on it. My backyard garden is not the kind of garden my father planted with my grandmother. Too much was at stake then. Planting the garden was necessary.

Broad networks of trade between strangers promote food security and food diversity. Droughts in one country (or even in our own) are not likely to lead to widespread hunger here. Coffee drinkers, for example, should be thankful that we import from many countries. The sudden inability to import coffee from one country is offset by increases in trade from another. Similarly, other countries benefit from our exports. These trade networks diversify our food choice.

So for most North Americans, on most days, eating is a global experience that includes food from our own countries. Canada is the fifth largest exporter of agriculture and agrifood products and the sixth largest importer.

The development of our present agrifood system did not emerge overnight. We benefit from an advanced social technology — rules, standards, government departments,

Dead birds a serious turn off

inspection procedures — that enables us to generally feel secure in food produced by strangers and transported across long distances. This advanced social technology is costly to maintain, so the markets that enable food to be exchanged between strangers are not “free.” This is even more reason to appreciate the extraordinary networks they allow and the food abundance they secure.

This social technology needs to continue to address food safety and environmental concerns. In addition, it should look to enhance opportunities to exchange food across increasing distances with farmers and consumers who don’t know each other.

In an era that gives a great deal of attention to food labels like “local” and “organic,” we need to also celebrate important attributes of the conventional food system that matter most, to most people, on most days.

The next time you sit down for dinner, raise your glass to the farmers you don’t know and the system that brought their food to your table.

Dear Editor As a rural resident of the North Battleford area, I was appalled at something I recently saw in the city. I parked my vehicle next to an abandoned building at 1142A – 100th St. to go to a restaurant for lunch. Just inside the doors, and clearly visible, were two dead pigeons lying inside the building’s doorstep. I was not very hungry for food after seeing that.

Does anyone ever check these abandoned buildings out?

What do visitors to our area think if they happen to see a sight like this? Whatever happened to pride in your community?

I am hoping someone from City Hall reading this will take the initiative to remove these birds and properly clean up the debris.

Whatever happened to having a clean city and being proud of where you live?

The Force Awakens in the Zinchuk family In a little over a month’s time, a journey that began when I was just two years old will take its next step.

It’s as if Star Wars has always been a part of my life, and I guess it has. It’s going to be hard to sleep the night before Dec. 18, premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The difference is, this time, I will be sitting beside my two kids, their eyes wide in wonder as they take in

their first Star Wars movie in a theatre.

As a kid, I grew up during the initial trilogy, although, curiously, it was at the periphery, in drips and drabs. I never actually saw the original Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back until they appeared on television in the mid-1980s.

We didn’t have a VCR when I was young, nor, do I think, was it available anyhow. But I did see the documentaries

News-Optimist.ca Last week’s News-Optimist online poll: Rider fans have only one more game to suffer through. What will you be doing when they face the Montreal Allouettes Sunday?

• I’ll be watching and cheering for just one more win.

25% • I’ll be watching, but don’t have too much hope for a win.

7% • I’ll turn the game on, but I won’t pay too much attention.

21%

• I’ll be doing anything but watching.

This week’s News-Optimist online poll:

Prairie North Health Region has announced beginning Monday, Nov. 9 patients will have access to walk-in medical services at the Twin City Medical Clinic in North Battleford.

Will you use it?

• Absolutely. Who wants to sit in emergency for something a clinic can take care of.

• Yes. It’s very difficult for me to get to see a doctor during regular office hours.

• Yes, but with the walk-in physicians taking on new patients, will the wait times get too long?

• No. I’ve never had to use emergency. I can always get in to see my doctor when I need to.

• No, I’d rather go to the emergency department, even if it’s minor.

about the making of the movies. And in 1983, my mom took me to my second movie ever in a theatre, Return of the Jedi. (I was eight, the same age my son is now.)

So my early years as a Star Wars nut coalesced around a read-along book of Empire Strikes Back, with its own 45 rpm record, a picture story book about Star Wars and eventually the novelization of Return of the Jedi. I also had bubble gum trading cards from Empire.

My first Star Wars toy was an “action figure” of a parka-wearing rebel trooper from the Hoth sequence of Empire. Dad bought it for me while in Toronto. I was suitably impressed.

I somehow ended up with used Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker figures, a Yoda, C-3P0 and Bespin guard. That was about it.

Dad picked up a mostlycomplete Millennium Falcon from an auction sale.

Christmas brought a sand crawler and the ultimate, the AT-AT walker.

Pretty meagre pickings, especially compared to what my kids have today.

But a long time ago, on a farm, far, far away, it had to do.

When the prequels came out, there was a bit of a quandary. You see, The Phantom Menace was released the week I was to get married. What to do, what to do? This was a question not only for me, but our friends who had to choose between standing up for us or sitting in a theatre. Somehow, we accomplished both.

(My newly minted wife and I saw it on our honeymoon.)

But my wife didn’t really appreciate having to go to Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith as part of our anniversary celebrations.

Thus it’s probably a good thing The Force Awakens is coming out on Dec. 18, my slowest time of the year.

That should allow me to take the kids at least three times, without too much conflict.

gum trading cards and read-along book. And that’s why he was Darth Vader for Halloween.

If Star Wars is the family story of the Skywalkers, then being a fan may be the family story of the Zinchuks, and that of millions of other families around the world.

Will there be a Millennium Falcon under the Christmas tree?

Wouldn’t a little boy want to know…

Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers

Association 2012 Columnist of the Year It’s interesting to watch Spencer’s growing eagerness for Star Wars. For Christmas a year or two ago, I gave the kids the entire collection of Phantom Menace figures I had hoarded after it came out.

I thought maybe someday they would be worth some money, but searches of eBay found that not to be the case (care for a Senator Palpatine or Jar Jar Binks, anyone?).

He’s also inherited all my original toys from when I was his age. The AT-AT, sandcrawler and Millennium Falcon seem to have gone missing after my high school years, but he has the figures, along with G.I. Joes and Transformers.

He hardly plays with them.

But he is totally wrapped up with Lego Star Wars.

He’ll show me new cre-

ations daily, sometimes hourly. Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars Lego: The Yoda Chronicles, both animated TV shows, are favourites not to be missed.

Mr. Music Box Dancer to spend an evening with fans in the Battlefords

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

Frank Mills drove through North Battleford last year but he didn’t even have time to stop for a cup of coffee. This year, he’s stopping and staying long enough for fans to spend an evening with Mr. Music Box Dancer.

The legendary Canadian composer and pianist, is on a cross-Canada tour titled “An Evening With Frank Mills” and is due to perform at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts Tuesday, Nov. 17. Tickets sales have been brisk and the show is almost sold out.

The tour is in aid of his new album called After the Dancer.

Mills describes After the Dancer as “a collection of what I think are the very best of my piano pieces, pieces that after Music Box Dancer remain the most requested songs in concert by my most discerning fans. If I had to pick one of the more than 20 albums that represent the best of my life’s work this would be it”.

The 73-year-old Mills

told the Regional Optimist last week his career has been good to him and he says he is honoured people still show up to his shows after all these years.

He laughed that this is probably his sixth “retirement” tour, and likely not his last. Though the tours get harder every year, he said, he seems to keep taking them on as long as his agent keeps setting them up. He just makes sure he gets into town early enough to take a nap before show time!

On stage, where he says he has “the best seat in the house,” it will be just Mills and the piano. The tour is about sharing his story with the audience so it makes sense to maintain an intimate atmosphere.

“I like to get to know my audience,” he says.

He likes to chat with his audience and enjoys signing autographs as part of his appearances.

Music Box Dancer is a tune famous around the world. It was released in the 1970s, and Mills said it wasn’t actually the single being promoted to the radio stations at the time. It was

Frank Mills actually the flip side (back in the days of 45s). When a program director decided to play the B side because he didn’t like the A side, the journey to a gold album began.

It is one of the most recognized melodies around the world, and Mills says he is always tickled when he hears it being played by an ice cream truck.

But he is passionate about the rest of his compositions as well, the music that came “after the dancer.”

Remembering those who helped build the war effort

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The efforts of Canadians in the Second World War were not limited to those sent into battle.

Many people also recognize the efforts of those on the home front, including those involved in building the planes and bombers to be deployed in battle.

One of those was Minnie Mackrell, a North Battleford resident now 95 years of age.

She and her husband William, who passed away in

1991, had an important role in the war effort, working at Canada Car in Fort William, Ont. (now Thunder Bay) from February 1944 until the end of the war a year and a half later.

“Canada Car” is short for Canadian Car and Foundry, Ltd., a company that was mainly involved in building railcars. But during the war, the plant in Fort William also built warplanes such as the Hawker Hurricane and the Curtiss Helldiver.

The workforce at the time consisted of thousands

of people, a good many of them women whose jobs included putting the planes together on the production line. Hence came the nickname “Rosie the Riveter.”

The Mackrells ended up in Fort William after William tried to join the armed forces.

Like other Saskatchewan men, he had wanted to be part of the war effort, but was ultimately rejected. He had only one good eye, due to an underlying medical condition.

But the option of going to work at the Canada Car plant was presented to him instead.

“They told him about Thunder Bay — Fort William-Port Arthur at that time — and they told him he could go down there.”

The other possibility was working in the bush, Minnie said, but “he was too light for bush work.”

Right after being married in Saskatoon, both William and Minnie moved to Fort William, where they took up jobs at Canada Car. The reason he went to Canada Car was because of his electrical expertise, with responsibilities involving the bombs that were installed in the planes. He was also sent to Mount McKay, the site where they tested the bombs to make sure they worked.

“If something was wrong with one of them, that’s why they brought him out, always,” Minnie recalls.

Minnie initially had a job as a riveter, but found she wasn’t cut out for that role, mainly because of the loud noises from riveting the planes.

She moved on to be a “chaser,” which meant she chase down parts needed for

the various aircraft being built.

Minnie said the parts often wouldn’t be available until night when the shipments would arrive.

“The idea was, coming in at night, I guess they didn’t see them coming in,” she said. ”(We were) bringing the parts from the States to Canada, that’s the way I kind of figured it out now.”

Minnie said the plant could easily have been bombed by opposing forces.

“Oh boy, that could have been one place they’d hit if they got a chance,” she remembers.

Fortunately, the Axis

forces had bigger problems to deal with in Europe. They were on the retreat and finally surrendered in 1945.

After the end of the war, the Mackrells moved to the Niagara Falls area and stayed there for seven years.

Minnie, who has lived in Dodsland and Wilkie and now lives in North Battleford, wanted to share the story of the Canada Car plant and those who worked there to remember those involved in the war effort in those days.

She provided a number of pictures from the plant from that era, showing what it was like during the war years.

Also provided was a

poem written by one of the women at the plant, which included these passages: “In the town of Fort William near Mountain McKay Where they’re turning out aircraft by nite and by day And the sound of production is heard from afar.

In the Hurricane plant of the Canada Car. … Come on up and join us and help with the planes You don’t need an overabundance of brains If you’re good with a hammer, an axe, or a bar You’ll go a long way with the Canada Car.”

BRA CLINIC

Have you gone on a bra shopping trip, only to be frustrated, walking away empty handed? Jeunique International, founded in 1959, manufactures health bras based on the engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge (balance load suspension). Shirley McInnes (International Executive Director), a Certified Bra Gold Eagle Lodge Fitter, is coming to the Tropical Inn for a BRA CLINIC. Bras on the market with frills and lace may look nice, but they are not doing their job. (85% of WOMEN ARE WEARING THE WRONG BRA!) A woman needs support from beneath the breast tissue. The Jeunique/Leunique Bras fit small to full figure, sports, maternity and mastectomy – 200 sizes and 3 styles to choose from 30a - 46KK; no bounce, no wires to gouge or bruises or impeded lymphatic drainage and circulation. Does not ride up in the back or fall off the shoulders and promotes better posture. Switching to a custom fitted bra is like giving up a floppy pair of slippers for an orthotic shoe. Once women adjust to the uplift and snugness (a couple of weeks) you become a life-long client. Doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors often refer their patients to us.

BNS score shorthanded to sink Melfort

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Shorthanded goals made the difference Tuesday night for the Battlefords North Stars against the defending SJHL champion Melfort Mustangs.

As expected, it was a hard fought and rough contest with a few penalties, but the shorthanded markers from Layne Young in the second and then Jake McMillen in the third highlighted a 3-2 come-from-behind North Stars win at the Civic Centre.

“It was a great game,” said head coach Kevin Hasselberg.

“I was really happy with our guys. We had our high moments, we had our low moments but at the end of the day our guys really squeezed and found a way to work that puck out of the zone with a few seconds left and get the win.”

Coming off a string of five defeats in six games, the North Stars were anxious to get back in the win column against a quality opponent.

Moreover, first place in the league standings was also at stake for both teams.

“Our guys knew what was on the line. They knew that we’d been struggling to get the results that we were working really hard to earn. Tonight, we found a way to work just a little bit harder and do things a little bit better and obviously that

produced some positive results.”

North Stars 3 Melfort 2 The North Stars dominated almost from the start in the shots department.

They took the play to the Mustangs and had a couple of power play opportunities in the period, but couldn’t capitalize through one.

Shots, however, favoured the North Stars 12-5.

In the second, the North Stars extended their shots advantage to 17-5 at one point, and it was 19-7 by the time the North Stars were on

the power play again, with Melfort’s Craig Leverton off for slashing at 4:38.

But that advantage fizzled. Then, Kendall Fransoo got two minutes for interference at 7:17 forcing the North Stars onto the penalty kill.

With 10 seconds left in Fransoo’s penalty, Ryan Rosenberg took a tripping penalty to put the North Stars down two men briefly.

With play back to 5-on4, it was the Mustangs who finally broke the scoreless deadlock as Tristan Frei beat Taryn Kotchorek at 9:47 to

make it 1-0.

Things continued to unravel for the North Stars on the penalty front as Dustin Gorgi took a slashing penalty at 10:26, putting Melfort on the power play yet again for two more minutes.

But with 8:25 left in the period, the North Stars’ Layne Young scored shorthanded on Palmer, an unassisted goal. Despite their penalty problems in the period, the North Stars were level again at 1-1.

The clubs traded penalties late in the period, but

the tie score held up through two. The period was a much better one for Melfort, out hooting the North Stars 1513.

But the North Stars were back on offence to begin the third. With Howard Yawit off for interference, they took the lead at the 3:38 mark as Tanner Nagel scored from Braydon Buziak and Conor Jensen, a power play marker.

Penalties continued to dog the North Stars, however, and they were back to being shorthanded when Jordan Townsend took a slashing call at 7:05.

Once again, the North Stars found a way to capitalize. At the 7:50 mark, Jake McMillen broke free on a breakaway and ripped the puck past Palmer and into the net. It was the second shorthanded goal of the game for the North Stars.

That goal proved a particular highlight for coach Hasselberg.

“I can’t wait to see Jake’s goal back on video again.

He got his stick on the puck, created a race, he won the race, protected it with his body and then turned it into another race to the net and he won. And he scored a big goal. And that’s the game, that’s the way the game is played nowadays. You’ve got to be smart, you’ve got to be good with your body, you’ve got to be good with your stick, and that one goal had all of those elements in it.”

AAA Stars drop rematch with Legionnaires

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The Battlefords Stars weren’t able to complete a sweep in Swift Current against the Legionnaires this past weekend.

The Stars dropped the second game Sunday by a 4-1 margin, after winning the Saturday contest 4-2.

Tristan Carey got the first goal for Swift Current in the first period, and Matthew Jones added a second goal in the first minute of period two.

Tanner Brewster’s power play goal in the middle of the second period from Dawson Bacon and Brandon Griffiths made it 2-1, but that would be all the scoring for the Stars.

In the third period, Jones got his second of the game with 6:08 left for insurance, and then Carey scored into

The North Stars seemed to have the game in control, but with 7:35 left, an unfortunate bounce of the puck cost the North Stars.

The puck got away from Kotchorek in the crease and Levi Kleiboer, attempting to clear the puck from the side of the goal, ended up putting it into his own net instead.

Ashton Clark got credit for it at 12:25. Fortunately, that play would not come back to haunt the North Stars in the end.

With Palmer pulled for the extra attacker in the final minute, the Mustangs mounted one last furious rush, to no avail. The North Stars held on for a 3-2 home win.

Final shots were 37-29 for the North Stars, and in his second straight start Taryn Kotchorek stopped 27 shots for the victory.

The Battlefords North Stars now have a record of 15 wins, 5 losses and two shootout losses for 32 points, putting them at the top of the SJHL overall standings by two points over both Melfort and Weyburn. They hold an 11-point lead over Notre Dame Hounds in the Finning Division.

The North Stars now head back to the southeast starting Friday for a road trip against teams they have gotten to know quite well in recent weeks: Weyburn, Estevan and Notre Dame.

2015 Hesston National Finals Rodeo Belt Buckles HAVE ARRIVED! the empty net with 1:52 remaining for a 4-1 final score.

Jake Taylor stopped 20 of 23 in net for the Stars, and was named Battlefords’ star of the game. Thomas Martineau was named the home

star of the game for Swift Current having stopped 28 of 29.

The next action for the Stars is Saturday, again on the road, in Yorkton against the Maulers.

Barons 2 win tourney Submitted Pee Wee Barons 2 attended a tournament in Turtleford on the weekend.

In the first game they met up with St. Walburg. It was a slow start for the Barons leading 2-1 after one period.

They kept gaining momentum and increased the lead to 4-1 after two periods and ended up cruising to a 7-1 win.

The second game was a

little more of a tight-checking game with a scoreless first period against Debden.

The Barons managed to score two goals in the second and one in the third to win the game 3-0 and place first in their pool.

In the A final the Barons were matched up against a high flying Hillmond team that led the tournament with 15 goals and only two against. It was back and forth all first period until the

Barons scored two goals 45 seconds apart in the last two minutes.

Hillmond gained some momentum in the second period and they tied it 2-2. But before the end of the period the Barons scored two more quick goals less than a minute apart to regain the lead.

It was a lead they would not give up as they scored two more times in the third period, to win the game 6-2 and the tournament.

The Mistletoe Craft and Gift Sale was a great success!

If there’s one thing Battlefords hockey teams seem to have in common lately, it’s their troubles beating Weyburn.

The second game of the weekend tilt between the Battlefords Sharks and Weyburn Southern Range Gold Wings ended with the Sharks unable to find a way to beat Wings goalie Chantal Burke.

Weyburn scored one in the first, a power play goal in the second and two in the third, including an empty net marker, for a 4-0 final score to complete a weekend sweep.

Shelby Tornato stopped 32 of 35 shots in net for the Sharks.

The Sharks continue on the road this coming weekend as they face the Swift Current Diamond Energy Wildcats Nov. 14 and 15.

seconds left in the first to give them the lead, and then Elise Endicott scored in the second to make it 2-0.

But the Sharks came back in the third period. Dakota Peterson scored from Alyssa Roach and Teagan Sochaski 2:06 into the period. And then Jordan Kulbida scored unassisted with 8:04 left to tie the game at 2-2.

But Sarah Hornoi’s goal on the power play with two minutes to go ultimately held up as the game winner, and the Gold Wings won 3-2.

Chloe Marshall was busy in the Sharks net on the night, stopping 29 of 32 shots.

Gold Wings 3, SharKs 2

The season is already half over, as we played our fifth games of the season Tuesday afternoon. There were some interesting results.

Ed Kjargaard and Bob Krismer (skipped by Keith Bell), played to a tie, as did Doreen Dudek and Wally O’Hare (skipped by Doug Puff). Other results were Wayne Payne over Don Kachmarski, Doug Belyk over Gordon Munn, Ralph Hall over Alexander Scott, and Allan Rogers over Dick Horrell. So Krismer team is still undefeated with four wins and a tie, in second place are the Kjargaard and Belyk teams with three wins and two ties. The season is getting interesting. See everyone next week on Nov. 17.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Local talent will be the focus of a new initiative announced this week by the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts.

To be held March 5 and 6, On Stage at the Dekker Centre will be a showcase for performing artists from the Battlefords and area.

It will feature exceptional emerging talent, woven into a cohesive production centred on the theme “Home.”

A volunteer committee is organizing the showcase and local musicians Dianne Gryba and JoAnne Kasper have been persuaded to come on board as producers. Gryba and Kasper, as artistic directors, have presented a number of shows at the Dekker Centre since the 385-seat facility opened in September of 2012.

Auditions will be held Jan. 7 and 9 on the main stage at the Dekker Centre to select performers.

Board chair Karen Ulmer notes part of the Dekker Centre’s mandate is to encourage and foster local artists. In 2015, the Rawlinson family made a generous donation to the Dekker Centre, which has made possible the creation of the showcase. It is anticipated that it will become an annual event.

To book an audition time, volunteer to help the committee or for more information about On Stage at the Dekker Centre, email your questions to showcase@dekkercentre.com.

When the Raise the Roof committee kicked off its fundraising campaign in June of 2010 with a flurry of announcements, several groups and organizations were on hand for the launch, which was broadcast live on radio across the region. The kickoff included announcements of naming rights in perpetuity for two of the four components of the CUplex.

The first major announcement came from

The Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts, named for broadcaster Harry G. Dekker, has announced a new initiative for 2016, using funds donated by the Rawlinson family in honour of David Dekker, retired radio executive. Above is a photo of Harry, Christine and David Dekker displayed at David’s retirement function earlier this year. Photos by John Cairns

David Dekker, then general manager of what was known as Rawlco Radio in North Battleford. The Northwestern Radio Partnership (CJNB, Q98 FM. 93.3FM) had, back in 2006, made a pledge of $1 million to the multipurpose facility, which included $500,000 in cash and $500,000 in promotional support for the fundraising effort. Dekker announced the company had also secured the naming rights in perpetuity for the theatre component.

The centre is named in memory of Harry G. Dekker, the longtime broadcaster in the Battlefords who together with his wife Christine hosted “The Double Dekker Breakfast Club” on CJNB Radio.

“Dad loved radio and the wonderful people who made it happen here. He loved his family. He was born here and the Battlefords is home to four generations of Dekkers dating back almost 95 years,” David said.

“The Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts will be a lasting legacy for a man who was recognized as playing a key role in helping to make the Battlefords such a great community to live, work and play.”

Harry’s wife, veteran Saskatchewan broadcaster and female radio pioneer Christine Dekker, was in the audience as her son paid tribute to his father, whose career in broadcasting spanned 63 years. Christine has since passed away at the age of 82.

In April of this year, the Dekker Centre was the scene of David’s retirement party.

It paid tribute not only to Dekker’s radio career but his service to the community.

Among those who attended was Gordon Rawlinson, longtime owner of the local stations in partnership with the Dekker family, who announced a major contribution of $50,000 to the Dekker Centre in David’s honour.

Quilt of Valour to be presented to veteran Staff Thursday, The Sewing Machine Store is having a quilt showing at Caleb Manor in North Battleford to showcase some unique quilts and their creators.

“In addition, and more importantly, we will be presenting a quilt to Jack Abbott under the Quilts of Valour program,” says Kathy Kennedy of The Sewing Machine Store. Abbott is a veteran and also owned Abbott Sewing Centre, where The Sewing

Machine Store is now located.

Quilts of Valour is a Canadian organization committed to getting 10,000 quilts to veterans across Canada by 2018. To date, more than 6,200 quilts have been presented.

Quilts of Valour believes, “A quilted hug is healing, and that is the primary goal of Quilts of Valour Canada. The quilt you make is from the heart. What would you make for someone special you know? Making a quilt of valour is a tangible way of ex-

has the quilt squares that anyone can make up, says Kennedy.

A donation of $10 gets the quilt square and a Canada mug.

“We will collect the finished squares and have quilting bees to complete the quilts and Quilts of Valour will make the presentation to the veteran,” she says. “Our hope is to increase the awareness of this program in North Battleford so no veteran is missed.

The quilt show at Caleb Manor takes place from 3 to 5 p.m. with a presentation to be made to Abbott

at approximately 4 p.m.

Kennedy opened The Sewing Machine Store in Saskatoon in 1992 and expanded to North Battleford eight years ago.

Little Pine plans to take safety back Seminars to find answers to ‘crime and lawlessness’

By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

Little Pine First Nation members have undertaken a series of seminars aimed at reclaiming their community as a safe home for their people.

The seminars are addressing issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, crime, policing, jurisdictional issues and conflict resolution.

The goal is to bring out discussion on crime patterns and access to justice in the criminal justice system.

Out of a seminar held Oct. 22, a series of recommendations has been made, and a second seminar is scheduled for Nov. 24.

pressing your appreciation for someone who has put their life on the line for our country.”

Kennedy says, “North Battleford has many veterans and the hope is to work with quilters to get quilts to all of them.”

It is simply a matter of nominating a veteran and they will be on the list to receive one, she explains.

A visit to quiltsofvalour.ca has further information and a form to request a quilt for a veteran.

The announcement of the second meeting states, “This seminar is for you if you are frustrated by the crime and lawlessness in our community. This seminar will help you gain knowledge and skill to understand crime, the criminal justice system [and] crime prevention …”

Seminar leader Jacob Pete says the first meeting was sponsored by Little Pine’s chief and council. It was facilitated by Richard Checkosis, councillor in charge of justice, and Pete served as seminar leader.

“I’m also a member of the band. I have very extensive experience doing this stuff,” said the retired businessman, consultant, writer and ceremonial elder.

“We’ve got some pretty innovative things coming out of there,” he said of the first meeting.

It was suggested the longterm solution to the safety issues Little Pine now faces is to return to traditional ways, traditional ceremonies and traditional beliefs of raising families.

“Our families have strayed away from how our grandparents raised their families. Our family units were complete family units.

Our families were independent and did not rely on government rations or relief. Everyone had a role to play in the interactions among our

Jacob Pete relatives,” it was said.

The first seminar was attended by 24 elders, seven students and six community members, plus two RCMP members. Representatives of the Battlefords Tribal Council’s department of justice also attended, making presentations on its Extra Judicial Measures Program.

The elders who attended are calling for more involvement and hope to have more women, especially, at the next meeting. They are also calling for attendance by all social and health support agencies and services to help prepare a Strategic Community Plan on Public Safety.

A key issue is drug crime, including trafficking and even shootings. One of the recommendations is to have the band research and create a banishment bylaw for drug dealers that would remove them from band-owned

houses, turn off their power and water and possibly banish them entirely from the community.

“They are doing too much harm to our young people,” was one comment.

Banishment, Pete told the Regional Optimist last week, was used in the past by the community as a way of dealing with individuals who caused trouble, even up to and including murder.

Now, he said, when someone gets into serious trouble he is not banished from the reserve. Instead he goes to jail as a form of punishment, never having to face the people he has harmed. He serves his time and comes back to the reserve like nothing has happened.

“We are forgetting our traditions and culture,” Pete told the meeting. “There was a reason for why we did this. Our grandfathers and other relatives made sure we understood the consequences of any bad act that was done.”

The meeting was told banishment has been trialed at Thunderchild First Nation, where elders use a horse camp to take care of youth, with lectures, sweats and lifestyle changes, and at Lac La Ronge, where banishment is to an island away from the community. Offenders are reintroduced to nature and survival lifestyle changes. They also heard about a reserve in Manitoba that has a system of cultural camps for young offenders where they are removed from the community, introduced to traditional ways and required to fast, meditate alone for four days and experience a vision quest.

It was said cultural camps for Little Pine members must be supervised by community elders who know local Battle River Cree culture, traditions and spirituality. In the past, cultural camps have been co-ordinated by “drunks, druggies and womanizers,” it was noted.

Drug and alcohol abuse is another key issue. A number of elders live alone and worry about the drinking, parties, assaults, break-ins

and threats going on around them. They worry about children raising themselves while parents are away every night. They also say all of the reserve’s families have been guilty of some of the things happening in the community. Some elders themselves, it was said, have been implicated in alcohol abuse and sexual exploitation.

Among the presentations at the seminar was a statistical report by Sgt. Heath Robinson of the Cut Knife RCMP detachment and Cpl. Steve Klimenhaga, “F” Division Aboriginal Policing Service.

Comments from the community members included frustration with lack of response on complaints, while RCMP indicated some of the activities the community feels police aren’t acting on are not reported.

One of the recommendations out of the meeting was that the band chief and council create public safety officers to provide complementary services to the RCMP for Little Pine, providing safety, security and patrol of band-owned properties and for the protection of elders and their homes.

Other recommendations were: • a substance abuse testing program for band staff and teachers; • a curfew bylaw; • evening public recreation events at the school gymnasium; • the establishment of a school intramural basketball program; • appointment by chief and council of persons to the community consultative group (CCG), in compliance with the policing agreement with the RCMP, and to a Justice Committee for Little Pine; • facilitate presentations by elders at Chief Little Pine School; • establish restorative justice services with a justice reinvestment approach program for trouble youth; and • establish a restorative justice commission and provide training in restorative justice and alternative dispute resolution.

Community mourns WWII Juno Beach veteran

By Sherri Solomko Correspondent

If you are a Friday-the13th-superstitious-kind of folk, then hide under your covers this Nov. 13. We are at mid-November already.

The community is gearing up for some busy days ahead with multiple activities on the horizon.

I must extend a thank you to RPN English who wrote the nice thank you letter to the editor in the Nov. 5 edition of the Regional Optimist. I am glad my writing helped you and other nurses feel appreciated. Not one single word of that editorial was written with anything less than sincere appreciation and forever gratefulness.

This community is mourning a great loss: 98-year-old Second World War veteran, Bill Fleming, passed away and his funeral service was held Nov. 7.

Fleming was one of our Canadian soldier heroes who landed on Juno Beach in 1944. All of us know of this event only through history books, social studies classes and history channels, however Fleming lived to tell the tale. His service to our country and our freedom is immeasurable.

Fleming returned home to also be of great service to our community, dedicating himself lifelong to the museum as well as being a lifelong active Legion member who served at many Remembrance Day services.

Fleming was so heartfelt with his genuine appreciation to students who participated in the poster and essay contests that he left each of these kids with a smile, many of the younger ones not realizing they were shaking hands with a real

live action superhero.

Fleming, offering his great smile, sense of humour and musical talents to a number of events and activities in Unity, was wellknown, well-respected and well-loved. May he rest in peace. Thank you, brave soldier!

The most wise words I had seen regarding veterans was “A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank cheque payable to their country for an amount up to, and including, their life.”

Unity residents learned from a recent article in the local paper that the town public works director, Collin Field, is also a veteran, having served as a military engineer from 1979 to 2000. His work was primarily with UN and NATO tours that included peacekeeping, peacemaking and some war-time action in Afghanistan.

Unity Public School staff and students held their school Remembrance Day Service Nov. 10 and also paid tribute to long-time veteran Bill Fleming, who had attended their services regularly, enthusiastically and warmly thanking all the students for their participation in the annual Remembrance Day poster contests.

Report cards will be sent home Nov. 13 with studentled conferences following on Nov. 18 and 19. There will be no school Nov. 23.

St. Peter’s School added a special touch to their Remembrance Day services by dedicating the service to Bill Fleming, knowing they will forever remember and treasure his dedication to our country, his community and the local Legion.

Report cards will be going home for term one Nov. 16 with student-led conferences to follow Nov. 17 and 18. The book fair will run at St. Peter’s from Nov. 16 to 19 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There will be a sacramental preparation parent meeting with Father Nov. 18 at 7 p.m.

Grade 6 volleyball players will head to a tournament in North Battleford

nity News Nov. 19.

The choir and band will be working extra diligently in the days ahead preparing for many performances leading up to Christmas, where they will be sharing their gift of music.

Unity Composite High School is humming right along in their school year.

Students had the distinct privilege to hear post-traumatic stress disorder speaker and comedian, Bobby Henline, speak and entertain at their school Nov. 6, as part of an upcoming Wounded Warriors event in North Battleford later that evening. UCHS students had the great fortune of hosting Henline. They were inspired and intrigued by his story as well as sharing lots of laughs as he demonstrated the sense of humour that has taken him through some of his darkest days since his terrible misfortune during his last tour of duty in Iraq.

It was a great presentation to kick off the ACTIVATE’s newest focus on managing stress, coping skills and anxiety issues.

Following Henline’s presentation, students broke up into their intramural houses and had a “SCREAMFEST” with the decibel meter logging the loudest group. Winners enjoyed an ice cream feast over the lunch hour.

Congratulations to both the junior boys’ and the junior girls’ volleyball teams who both captured district gold at this year’s championships. Senior volleyball teams are ramping up their practices and games in preparation for their conference playdowns.

Students are invited to spend another way interacting and creating in the library/tinker space that offers FAB lunches, robotics equipment to build “bots” as well as Lego creations, crafting activities and, soon

to come, the green space recording area.

The drama team are but a few weeks away from their Dec. 8 and 9 public production performances.

Folks who love live theatre can always count on terrific drama performances, this year along with local guests serenading their audience and even a dessert theatre is part of the evening’s events.

All of these programs work to create citizens who follow the UCHS “three beliefs of Respect, Responsibility and Choose to Learn.”

Before heading into rink news I am happy to share this thank you from our neighbours in Wilkie: “The Town of Wilkie would genuinely like to thank the surrounding communities for their unwavering and ongoing help and support offered to the Town of Wilkie throughout the difficult process of repairing the town’s community centre.

The generous offers to use facilities and recreational space in other communities has not gone unnoticed.

Without these gracious offers, our local hockey players and curlers would not be able to participate in these recreational activities this season.”

If you haven’t yet heard of the upcoming Montreal Canadiens alumni hockey tour event, then you’ve been hibernating. The committee has only 14 more days to prepare for the big day.

Although the bids have closed on the exclusive positions with the Canadiens, there are still opportunities to get in on the fabulous silent auction items displayed at Unity Credit Union. Also many locations have the progressive 50/50 tickets on sale as well as game tickets and VIP tickets to be part of the post-game meet and greet. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this experience.

Not only are you attending a once in a lifetime event right in your home town, you are helping to support the fundraising initiative of this group to benefit the Unity Food Bank, the Unity Community Resource Centre and Unity Minor Hock-

ey, with some assistance also being offered to the Wilkie arena fundraising program.

Please contact Carey Baker at 306-228-2621 for more details on any aspects of this big game coming to Unity.

Hockey night in Unity is nearly every night as, once again, Unity Minor Hockey hosts multiple teams in every division but midget, where there is one midget AA team. As well the Unity Miners have begun playing their games and Unity opened ice time for the Wilkie Outlaws to have their home games in Unity after their devastating arena fire left them with no rink to play at. There are also a number of recreation hockey teams taking up any “spare” ice time; while the Unity Skating Club rounds out the intensely busy arena schedule.

The Wilke Outlaws will host another “home’ game in Unity Nov. 13, while the Midget AA Lazers will host a late afternoon game Nov. 14 and another home game Sunday at 2 p.m. Next weekend, the Outlaws will once again have the Friday night spot while the Miners will take on Eatonia Saturday. Check out the Sask. West Hockey League complete schedule online for senior hockey games as well as the Centre Four Hockey League website for our midget AA schedule.

All arena schedules can be found either posted at the rink or on the Unity Recreation Arena Facebook page or online at the townofunity.com website. Don’t miss a minute of the live action at your local hockey rink.

The Unity Curling Club is thrilled to be hosting a full house every night of the week. Thirty junior curlers and a record high seven volunteer instructors have signed on for the Monday night junior curling program. Twenty-two teams are playing in the Tuesday league, 11 teams in Wednesday super league, and a record high 13 teams in the Thursday night league. This is in addition to the multiple high school teams who are practising for their season on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.

You can come on any league night of Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday

and watch a game from the large spacious lounge with far end TVs for those closest to the button calls. Then join your favourite team or curler in the lounge for a beverage after the game.

A team of gents from Unity Credit Union and a team of gents from Delta Co-op have challenged each other in Movember.

Some of the participants were long-time mustache men, but all shaved clean to start off November and are enjoying some light-hearted friendly competition while seeing which team can “grow the mo” the best.

A big congratulations is extended to Ray and Jeanne Cummings who celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary this November. Wishing this wonderful couple, who always sport the biggest smiles and are so supportive, warm and caring to all they meet, the very best on this milestone anniversary.

If you are an interested vendor or shopper there is a Christmas sale coming up Nov. 26 at the Anglican Church Hall, which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with already several vendors lined up. It’s another excellent opportunity to support local independent business people while knocking off some of your shopping list early.

Ladies, the annual Unity Community Resource Centre ladies’ movie night out is coming up Nov. 19. The evening starts with a wine and cheese at 7:30 p.m., followed by the movie at 8 p.m. Only 100 tickets will be sold. Contact the UCRC to get your ticket to benefit this facility in our community.

Coffee row folks – it’s a good thing there is always an abundance of coffee to be had as the numerous activities that take place in Unity every week keep these conversation tables buzzing. Some may be still talking Grey Cup or CFL, but most conversations have moved to local and NHL hockey talk, as well as local and competitive curling talk. Winter predictions are starting to be a part of these daily coffee college rituals too. So, you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time …

Things slow on the farm while waiting for snow The weather has been dampish with little sprinkles to good showers. With the short days and cloudiness, the land just doesn’t dry up. This would not be a problem if you were all done fall work, but there are always little jobs to do and it would be helpful if the weather was drier. In all, it has been nice for this time of year. Last year under global warming we had snow by now. We are all expecting snow any day now.

Just normal weather and “PHEWFT” to the global warming experts. Chicken Little ran around crying, “The sky is falling, the sky is falling,” too.

On the Hult Farm not much is happening as the farming season is over.

Curtis has been loading ethanol wheat out of the elevator. The bale-hauling man has not been down to get the wheat straw bales as the fields are too wet.

There was actual rain in that area and he didn’t want to be stuck. Well, we don’t want him stuck either. Mud and ruts and a tow job, who needs that? It’s one of those deals where a person says to himself, “Self, there will be better day.” As Davey Johner likes to say, “Some days she is just too wet to plow.”

Son Ron has been busy.

He has the blade on his tractor already. He has been around the farm cleaning out water runs. He even got a couple of oil patch tow jobs. He has been pumping water off leases in preparation for spring. This is unusual to be pumping off leases this time of year.

Environment Canada made the oil companies put dikes around all the leases in case of a spill. This causes more problems than it solves.

When the water cannot get away, the land gets soft and the trucks are continually getting stuck. The towing is passed on to the oil companies. In the old days we could farm right up and around the teardrop the well and tank make. Now we can’t get in there with the dikes and the mandatory permanent anchors for the service rigs. So the land grows weeds. The oil companies have to spray this area. More expense for the oil companies. We seem to

have lost the common sense approach to handling problems. That is what happens when you get a bunch of dogooders in suits involved. I liked the old system better.

Oil company guys and farmers got together and worked things out.

Son Ron went around after seeding this year when it was dry and worked up seven or eight slough holes.

We used to do that in the past. He then seeded them to barley. He has the slough holes swathed and is waiting for the material to dry.

With this weather it is not happening. Now he is trying to get them baled. He has made 60 bales already and is not done. He said if the weather is below freezing it bales well, but if it gets warm it jams up. We have done this in the past with good results.

He will have to feed these bales first. He will have a large amount of the feed that he needs for his cow herd from these small slough beds. His cows will be well off this winter as he has about 30 acres of corn and about that many acres of barley he is going to use for swath grazing.

In my hills, the Kitscoty silage balers are done and starting to move equipment home. They are to be commended as they took on the toughest hills and got ‘er done! No other bales are gone and there is still some baling left to do. The baling that is left will have to be done tough and soon or it will still be there come spring. My mother tells me it is raining in British Columbia and I know in a couple of days it will be coming here.

In politics, the love in between the media and Justin Trudeau is continuing.

Trudeau has made some social media popular moves as he stopped Canada Post from removing anymore home deliveries that were going to community mail boxes.

He has made all the civil servants happy as he has brought back the long form census. Now they will have more material to Big Brother us. I don’t care, long form, short form, I plan to only give my name, rank and serial number, just like a prisoner of war. A lot

On election night I was dismayed about the actions

of Robert Fife of CTV. He was anti-Harper including sniping from off camera at one of the panel members who was a Conservative.

Personally, I don’t feel we should give the Americans any more cheap oil, or eastern Canada. If we are going to export this stuff let’s get top world price.

WILLIAMS: In loving Memory of Dean Mathew Williams, born April 26, 1962, at North Battleford, SK, passed away June 27, 2015 at North Battleford, SK. Cherished son of Kay (David) Puls; twin brother Darryl Williams; brother Bill (Marcella) Williams, son Kyle; sister Carol Lacoursiere, son Dr. Ryan Lacoursiere (Chantel), sons Kiefer, Jared and Blake; brother Dr. Brian Williams, daughter Paige, sons Blake, Evan and Mark; sister Angela (Dr. Ronald Delaire), son Jonathan (fiancée Amanda), daughters Mercedes and Mariah; sister Cammie (Glenn) Vany, sons Blair and Nathan; and loving companion Michelle Armstrong and her daughters Jaide, Larissa and Mikayla. Dean is also survived by aunts, Mary Chomicki, Mary Ramsay, Lena Rak, Eva Williams and their families as well as many cousins and close friends. Dean was predeceased by his father, Joseph Williams (1993), brother-in-law, Henri Lacoursiere (1998) and many aunts and uncles. Dean was a beautiful, sensitive soul that left us too soon, but he taught us so much while he walked among us. Where there was Dean, there was his twin brother, Darryl, and if Darryl wasn’t there, he wasn’t far behind and vice versa. It was interesting to observe Dean and his brother Darryl as whatever one of them was thinking, the other one was most likely doing that exact thing, at that exact time; a twin synchronicity of sorts. This calls to mind when Dean and Darryl, about 13 years old, constructed a rocket launch system which consisted of black gun powder, a galvanized steel garbage can with a fitted lid, rolls of tape, foam sponge in long rolls, wire, and one human being, their friend Bobby, because he was the smallest. Bobby was convinced to have himself covered in foam sponge – the yellow three inch stuff which was attached to his body from head to toe with wide packing tape. Bobby then sat atop the garbage can with the black gun powder inside the can ignited by a wire firing device and a cord plugged into the outlet in the back yard.

Dean and Darryl, 50 feet away from our dining room window, launched Bobby about 25 feet into the air, terrified and waving with Dean and Darryl, highly amused and satisfied with a successful launch in the back yard at 1841 - 97th street. Blessed with the gift of music, Dean first picked up a guitar at about the age of 12 but soon became enamoured with the drums. Along with Darryl, and two other musician friends, they formed the rock band “Cleaver” in high school. Our house at 1841 97th Street, North Battleford was where they practiced a majority of the time. At times the music was so loud, china in the china cabinet would vibrate and dance around! Highly intelligent with a sharp sense of humour, Dean excelled at academics, construction and anything mechanical. Following graduation from the North Battleford Comprehensive High School in 1980, Dean with his brother Darryl attended the U of S in Saskatoon in the pre-med program. After deciding medicine wasn’t for them, being analytical thinkers with a mind for business, they went into the paint business for themselves. Dean took great pride in his work. He was a master painter and a true perfectionist. He also became very good at construction over the years, working with Darryl and their team renovating homes. Dean loved to watch NHL hockey and the CFL. He was a dedicated, loyal Saskatchewan Roughriders Fan, never wanting to miss a game. A guitar connoisseur and car lover, Dean got much satisfaction from searching out and collecting many of these. A drummer for the Living Faith Chapel church band, Dean lived to worship each Sunday and especially cherished the prayer time with the members before the service. He was an accomplished, gifted drummer and became one with his drum set. Dean was a volunteer with the Prairie North Health Region for the past 13 years, and could be counted on to donate his time and sound equipment for health region events. Dean was immensely proud of his faith in God and endeavoured to live his life on that path. He also, very quietly, assisted many others who were struggling in life, giving them hope, faith and encouragement to turn their lives around. His many acts of service and charity to those in need were not known to many of us, until just recently in the event of his passing. A good friend of Dean’s shared this story with us: “One day I saw Dean and his elbows and forearms had some pretty nasty scrapes on them. After asking what had happened, Dean told the story of coming out from his house one evening and a drunk fellow jumped him from behind, pushing him to the ground (hence the scrapes). Next Dean got up and faced the accoster who lunged at him again, only for Dean to move out of the way causing the man to fall, hitting his head on the back of Dean’s vehicle, knocking him out. Eyes wide I asked him, “What did you do next?”

Dean replied, “I loaded him into the back of my jeep and took him to the ER and spent the next few hours waiting for him to get patched up and made sure he was ok. Only thing is nobody there believed me that I would bring in a guy who attacked me!” This is who Dean was.

Since 2010, Dean struggled with his health, which led to a diagnosis of tonsil cancer in 2013. He very bravely received 36 sessions of radiation treatments at the Cancer Centre at the RUH, driving himself there and back every day, five days a week. He had amazing stamina; a day after his tonsils were removed, he picked up a paintbrush and went back to work, stating that he “never felt better.” In January 2013, Dean underwent an extremely complicated surgery performed by Dr. Spafford to remove a tumor from his salivary glands and many lymph nodes. Once again, two short days after surgery, he requested to be discharged as he, “felt like a million bucks!” In the months that followed after the surgery, Dean discovered yoga. He excelled at the poses and was told that many long time students could not do what he was able to do. In April 2015, Dean with his brother Bill went to Palm Springs, California to visit his mom and siblings Angie and Brian and their families. He enjoyed this time immensely, taking in the Coachella Music Festival, touring Hollywood, checking out pawn shops for guitars and of course, being with his family there. Shortly after his return, Dean’s health declined and it was discovered that he was again battling cancer. Dean accepted this challenge with grace, faith and in true Dean style, genuine grit. A brave warrior, he fought hard but also accepted what God’s plan was for him. On June 27, 2015, at peace, Dean went home to be with his Lord and Saviour. On the morning of June 27, 2015, our brother Bill was in Saskatoon driving by a garage sale. He stopped and saw a set of beat up drum sticks. He picked them up and the lady said, “They’re free.” As he walked away she said, “You know, there are some life left in those sticks.” After Bill left church shortly after 6:00 pm, he received a call from our brother Darryl. He let Bill know that Dean had just passed away peacefully without any anguish or struggle. Dean had suffered more than long enough and now he was at peace. After Darryl consoled him, Bill mentioned the drum sticks he had been given earlier that day. Darryl asked, “What is the number and name on the sticks?” They were number 3 Promarks, Slaughter brand. Darryl said, “Those were the sticks Dean had always used.” It was like Dean reached out and touched us once again. Any time we hear an awesome drum solo, a Steely Dan, Foo Fighters, Todd Rundgren or Stevie Wonder song, (just to name a few) we will remember the passion and enjoyment you had drumming to all that great music. God bless you Dean. We will always love and miss you, and be proud to call you son, brother, nephew, cousin, partner and friend. We wish to express our thanks to the medical teams at the following hospitals: Royal University, St. Paul’s and Battlefords Union Hospital and with special thanks to the BUH Palliative Care nursing staff who provided excellent care and heartfelt compassion to Dean and our families. With thanks as well to Drs. P. Holtzhausen and P. Spafford and the Saskatoon Cancer Clinic and anyone else who may have assisted Dean during his illness. We would also like to thank Pastor Al Huckabay who conducted the service of Celebration and Thanksgiving and all of you who attended the service. Special thanks to the music team at Living Faith Chapel, for whom Dean had the privilege to drum with. He lived to go to church every Sunday and be a part of the music ministry. With a never ending thank-you to everyone for their prayers, kind words, food, assistance with Dean’s care, flowers, cards and encouragement, while Dean was in hospital and in his passing. A special thank you to each of our family members for their special contributions to the music ministry. Kind thanks to the ‘Second To None’ Caterers who provided an excellent luncheon after the service. Compassion, kindness and professionalism were provided by Bob MacKay and his staff of The Battlefords Funeral Service. Interment of cremated remains to follow in June 2016. Memorial Donations in memory of Dean Williams can be made to the Living Faith Chapel Sound System Fund, 1371 103rd Street, North Battleford, Sask. S9A 1K9. Improvements to the sound system at the church were something Dean was working towards prior to his passing. ‘The Drummer’s Prayer’ “I am your instrument, Lord God. You bring the beat to my feet and the rhythm to my hands. May every sound I make bring joy to Your ears and may You bless me as I play.” “Trust God or worry...you can’t do both. God is taking care of me.” Dean Williams. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PLUM: Ronald Charles Plum.

December 19th 1921 - September 4th 2015. Family, friends and just about anyone who experienced the pleasure of meeting him were joyous to have been part of the long life of Ronald Charles Plum of Battleford. Ronald was laid to rest at Rockhaven Cemetery on October 7th with Reverend Nora Borgeson officiating. Ron leaves his beloved wife Minna (Minnie), son Harvey, daughter Carol, siblings Ernal, Ken and Darlene and a very long list of caring relatives, including grandchildren, Kelsey, Joseph and Christine and great grandchildren, Trevor and Jessica. Ron was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, and was one of 11 children. He was predeceased by his father Howard, mother Violet, brothers John, Alvin and Willis, sisters Olive, Grace, Minnie and Catherine. Ron was a hard worker all his life and farmed, and worked on farms in the Gallivan area for many years. He often took care of homes and farms when owners headed to warmer climes for the winter. He painted numerous homes and barns in the locale and also worked for the CN Railroad and as a grader operator for the Cut Knife Municipality. He was a loyal member of the United Church and devoted much of his spare time to helping others in numerous ways. He was closely involved with the Riding Hill Snow Plow Club, the Riding Hill Community Club and the Riding Hill Sunday School. For many years he handled volunteer work for the Red Cross and served as president of the Cut Knife Red Cross branch.

He canvassed every year for the Red Cross from 1949 to disbandment in 1980 and throughout that period, was on the local executive every year but one. He was also a member of the Cut Knife Odd Fellows. In addition, he volunteered many times to help out at the North Battleford Western Development Museum and his homemade ice cream that was doled out at ‘Those Were The Days’ events attracted children of all ages. Despite his selfless devotion to volunteerism, Ron did find time to play ball in the community and was able to brag about his pro-worthy curve ball. A dedicated Blue Jays fan, he’d have loved the team’s recent successes. He also loved to curl and he competed in horseshoes that brought home medals and awards. Hockey was also high on Ron’s list of interests, though he never followed any particular team - he reveled in any well-played game. He also followed the fortunes of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Ronald had a fine singing voice and sang frequently at Hillcrest Seniors Centre functions, a facility for which he served a stint as President. Always a humorist, Ron’s participation in comedy at the Seniors Centre is still remembered. The Battleford United Church Choir also enjoyed the benefit of Ron’s tenor voice, but in the areas where he worked, he was best known for yodeling - something he greatly enjoyed. It was said that family and friends always knew when Ron was around because they could hear his yodeling some way off and there were those who swore that the cows gave better milk when he was in full song! A friendly and caring neighbour wherever he lived, locals still speak of his willingness to help with any task at all, whether it was cutting wood or helping out with the cattle. This help was always happily granted with a positive and cheerful spirit. However daunting the task, it was always tackled with joyful laughter and an ear-to-ear smile. Perhaps above all, Ron was much loved for his wonderful sense of fun and humour and the term “a ready smile” was tailor-made for him. His smile would light up a room and he never lost it, despite many challenges as his life drew to a close. Ronald Plum’s Memorial will be held November 14th, 2015 at the Battleford United Church at 2 pm.

She spent her life well lived with the love of her life Lloyd, in which they shared so many fond memories and a deep devotion to each other. She was a loving sister who valued family.

She was a mom who always loved unconditionally and taught her children the value of family, friendship, hard work and faith in God. After 48 years of living with the debilitating disease of Multiple Sclerosis she had embraced with grace, she is now dancing in the heavens. Although she left us too soon, most of all she left us her deep devotion in Jesus Christ. She was a role model and testimony of a great woman who lived her life to the fullest following Jesus.

She will be forever missed and until we meet again! Interment was made at the Catholic Extension – Town of Battleford Cemetery.

Sinatra is quite the cat. He seems to be constantly talking and always has a pretty interesting story to tell. Sinatra is a sweet cat who loves to be cuddled and pet. If you think this loveable talker is the right cat for you, come down and meet him today.

Legend is a sweet boy once he gets to know you but would probably do well with an experienced owner and in a home with no small kids. Legend was found on the highway and was very scared when he first came in. He has come a very long way in a very short period of time but he will need a home that can help him build his confidence and help him feel safe. Give this sweet guy a second chance!

PUZZLE NO. 757

Charges laid against drivers speeding past emergency vehicles Staff A blitz to enforce the 60 km/h limit when passing emergency vehicles has resulted in 478 speeders being charged.

The enforcement initiative, announced Oct. 19, was a joint project of the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure Highways Transport Patrol, the RCMP and other agencies.

“Educating travellers to slow to 60 km/h when passing emergency vehicles is very important,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said.

“We need to ensure traffic laws are followed so first

responders can do their important work as safely as possible.”

This initiative is part of an ongoing effort to educate the public on the critical importance of slowing to 60 km/h when passing emergency vehicles working near the right-of-way, with their lights flashing. It is the law to slow 60 km/h when passing Highways Transport Patrol Officers, RCMP and other law enforcement workers, as well as fire trucks, ambulances and tow truck operators working in the highway right-of-way.

Fines start at $210 for speeding 10 km/h faster than the maximum 60 km/h.

Not too late to sign up for dance lessons

By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent

Winds blowing, freezing rain or a torrential downpour, scorching sun and horrendous thunderstorms with golfsized hailstones are some of our experiences with weather.

Why is this such a popular topic of conversation? This is the question that my oldest son’s friend from Spain has asked. Once living here for a short stint eight years ago, she soon realized why Canadian citizens made this an important issue. Apparently, in Spain, this was not an important subject because their weather stays relatively the same. We have two choices, liking it or disliking it. Who likes cold, blustery snow blowing against your body in -40 C weather? Yes, one has to dress wisely in those nasty conditions, but we do have warm clothes, so people living on the prairies do survive winter. Anyone envious of

those “snow birds” heading south?

Get well wishes go out to Earl Holmes of Mayfair who is hoping to be his old self soon.

An invitational memorial service was held at Mayfair Hall for 63-year-old Robert Allchurch, who passed away earlier in 2015. He taught firearm safety for many years and was a lifetime member of the Witchekan Wildlife Federation. The directors of this organization relocated 20 evergreen trees to Larson Lake near Spiritwood in memory of Allchurch, a former president of the organization. This request had been made by his family prior to Robert’s passing.

Faye and Keith Liebaert attended the wedding her niece Rustie Dean in this past Saturday in Moose Jaw. She is a radio announcer in Regina and a figure skating instructor. Also in attendance were Keith (Lauren) of Bran-

ayfair News don, Jenelle Johnson of North Battleford, Ryan of Mayfair and four of the Liebaert grandchildren. Daughter Michelle and family from Flin Flon, Man. were unable to attend. Saturday was a warm, windless day for this special occasion.

Old time dance lessons got off to an excellent start Nov. 3 with Della and Jim Schira as instructors of the first few lessons. They hail from Spiritwood and are presently instructing in two other communities. Teenagers wanting to learn were eagerly in attendance and having a good time with us older folks. The next lesson is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 17 and subsequent Tuesdays until Dec. 15.

The six sessions cost $32 per person or $7 for drop-ins. It is not too late to register, so call me at 306-445-9992. Dancing is fantastic exercise.

When citizens wear their poppies on the left hand side close to the heart, they show respect, honour and remebrance of soldiers who lost their lives. There is always much controversy on why people turn on their Christmas lights prior to Remembrance Day. Some say this shows lack of respect and light up their houses and yards only after Nov. 11 Jason Smith, who grew up on a farm near Mayfair, tied the knot with Jaime Waterhouse of Shellbrook Nov. 7.

Jason is the son of Ronald and Maryann Smith of Mayfair. The newlyweds reside in Paradise Hill. Jason works as an autobody repair technician in Lloydminster. Best wishes for a long, happy married life.

Four days before her 86th birthday, Audrey Giesbrecht

passed away at Pine Island Lodge in Maidstone with her family by her side. She was born in Meeting Lake and raised on a farm in Mullingar district. Passing away Sept.

20, she leaves behind her husband of 64 years, Peter, and Donna (Ken) Allchurch. Audrey was predeceased by her son Irvin of North Battleford on May 8, 2015.

Paulie (Ken) Rogers informed me their Seventh Day Adventist Church is doing the Christmas nativity program Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at their place of worship, 1611 – 93rd St. in North Battleford. I’ve enjoyed the walkthrough with different scenes through the church basement a few years ago and want to take my grandchildren this year. It is a must to see and do, so mark your calendars. You certainly will not be disappointed. Other years it has had a silver collection, so it might be the same format this year. The church congregation certainly go over and

beyond with this presentation open to all denominations.

You will even find live animals in a stable and a real live baby in Mary’s arms or in a hay-filled wooden cradle.

Travelling a distance to visit children and grandchildren is common practice for Shirley Lamontagne. She recently returned from a sixday holiday to be with oldest son Calvin and friend Lynn at Grand Forks, B.C. and Calvin’s daughter April, her husband and new baby, who reside in Vancouver, B.C. It takes eight hours by vehicle from Grand Forks to Vancouver. Shirley flew from Saskatoon to Grand Forks, which is close to the U.S. border. She thoroughly enjoyed this trip.

The forecast for the next few days is for snow, so let’s grin and bear it. Yes, weather does play an important role in our lives.At least we do not have to worry about landslides, tornadoes or hurricanes.

Walls nearly up on condo construction project

By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

We are into November with the ground not frozen and no snow yet, so fall chores should all be taken care of by gardeners. Carrots that were covered with straw bales were dug last week at Carstairs, Alta.

The flowers in front of the hotel are still looking fine this Monday, and we have had some white frosts some mornings. Picking up leaves with the riding mowers is still going on, too, leaving the lawn with less chance of snow mold next spring, a health benefit.

Colleen was at Rylie and Chantal’s for supper Sunday night. Chantal and Colleen were shoppers in Lloydminster.

A number of apartment people enjoyed the Thanksgiving supper at the United Church. The weather was beautiful and the attendance was very good.

We would like to wish Evelyn Lundquist a speedy recovery. She is a patient Battlefords Union Hospital.

We are looking forward to having you back home.

Lil McMillan has been under the weather but seems to be feeling better lately.

Halloween was quiet with many little spooks and goblins. The weather was so nice this year, for a change.

Many of us enjoyed the craft show and sale at the Legion Nov. 1. Denise was lucky at winning a raffle prize.

Norma Lott’s granddaughter Amanda Burt took her for a medical appointment. Everything is fine.

We had a lot of snow Nov. 2, but today it is all gone. I don’t hear the geese anymore. I guess that means winter is on the way.

footings of the new house south of the Community Center, with the foam cement forms having arrived for the basement walls.

Maybe they’ll be lucky enough to get that poured before freeze-up.

While we are enjoying seeing and hearing the geese every day, down in Yuma, Ariz. their only birds are hummingbirds and doves, except for one goose who thinks the golf course is his territory and honks and spits at the players.

The kitchen and bathrooms at the Community Complex are being renovated with new countertops and fixtures, so will surely be nice. Nothing takes place there the first two weeks of November except for the Nov. 11 program and luncheon and the walking program.

The Meota farmers’ market is holding their annual Christmas Craft Sale Nov. 21. Call Silvie at 306892-2524 to book a table or for more information.

Volunteers are needed again for a three-hour shift to work at a bingo Nov. 20.

Call Debbie at 306-8922004.

Yoga participants are welcome to attend at the Do Drop In Thursdays at 10 a.m. or at the Community Complex on Thursdays

from 6 to 7 p.m.

The Meota Lions Chorus will welcome anyone who likes to sing and have some fun to join them at their practice at the Do Drop In Wednesdays at 2 p.m.

The Meota United Anglican parish-wide service will be held Sunday, Nov. 15 at 10:30 a.m. It will be followed by a potluck lunch.

Guest speaker is Trudy Janssen. It should be interesting.

Donations of Canadian Tire money are welcomed by the Girls Club to buy necessities like toilet tissue, paper towels and other supplies and is very much appreciated.

The Christmas potluck supper at the Do Drop In will be held Dec. 13 at 5 p.m. They are also collecting items for the food bank rather than exchanging gifts. All seniors are welcome, the more the merrier.

Duplicate bridge scores from Nov. 3 at the Do Drop In found top scores by Terry and Jetta Dasilva. Second were Glen and Julie Moore.

Third was a tie between Robert Iverson and Joyce Antoine and Margaret Dyck and Dave Creegan. Another successful fun evening playing cards.

Duplicate bridge was played at the Pioneer Hall in North Battleford Nov. 5

with high score by Glen Fraser and Jean Lawes. Second high were Eric Callbeck and Gerry Fernandes and third high were Linda Ard and Dave Creegan.

Canasta was played Nov. 6 at the Do Drop In with top score by Dave Ottas and Murray McCrimmon.

Second high were Muriel Tebay and Linda Ard and third were John Soloninko and Lorna Pearson. Four tables enjoyed a pleasant social evening and the table of six finished all five games and had a fun time doing it. Lunch after was great as usual.

A short breakdown of my iPad happened last week when it wasn’t charging and I was pretty upset. I phoned Bob Zurowski, who suggested I go to the local store and sure enough Eden checked the cord and charger to see where the fault was and I came home with a new cord and very happy.

No trip to town for parts!

The price of gas has gone up again from $1.04.9 to $1.11.9 here in Meota.

A new yellow line has been painted on Highways 4 and 16, but not on Highway 3 through Spiritwood.

It is so important, once the snow comes, that you are able to see the middle of the road. This was as of last week.

Lounge renewed with fresh coat of paint

By Thelma Kendall Correspondent

Hi again, everyone! My, time certainly flies. We’ve already passed Nov. 1.

October was really a lovely month for us. Most days there was sunshine and not too cold, so we were lucky.

Halloween also was quite a nice day for the children.

Painters were busy here in the lounge last month. It was closed for two weeks for them to take off old wallpaper and repaint it all. It looks so nice now, all fresh and bright and clean. They did a good job.

Of course all of our ac-

tivities came to a halt for a while. Thanks to Louise Haubold who organized coffee for us on the third floor.

We appreciate that, Louise.

Thanksgiving was being celebrated by many of our tenants here. Betty Bonson had her family from Innisfail, Alta., with her for Thanksgiving. I can imagine how you enjoyed their visit, Betty.

Edith Dirksen was happy to have her daughter and family from Edmonton to spend this holiday with her.

Cecile Dupuis travelled to Cut Knife to spend Thanksgiving with her son and family. I’m sure you had

alley View II a nice visit, Cecile.

Ada Pasutto enjoyed spending Thanksgiving dinner with her daughters Marina and Joy. Her other daughter Carol Morrison and her granddaughter Raina were also present from Moose Jaw. Vicky Ross was there, too, but Carla Hewson and three children from Camrose, Alta., couldn’t make it at this time. It’s so nice to get together with family,

especially for Thanksgiving, Ada. Louise Haubold spent Thanksgiving at her son Barry and wife Deenna Haubold’s home. She said it was a very special time for her, to go back to her old home east of Glenbush. Louise also enjoyed being taken to the Dekker Centre for the Louisiana Hayride Show Oct. 30. This was a birthday treat from her daughter Lynn Kohl. Betty Bonson also accompanied them.

Louise was pleased to have her son Devon staying off and on from May to August. He was able to get work with SaskTel after an interview with the University of Saskatchewan. She said she’s going to miss him when he goes back to the U of S for his fifth year.

She says she also misses the Bargain Shop. So do we all, Louise. Do hope they build somewhere downtown again.

Ida Baker missed her news in September so I’m writing it now. Ida’s daughter, son-in-law and grandson came from Hamilton, Ont., to visit her Sept. 1. After having supper with her, they went to stay at the Gold Eagle Lodge. They all went to her other daughter and son-in-law’s for a visit and supper there Sept. 2. Ida’s daughter picked her up and

all went driving around and taking pictures of different places Sept. 4. The next day, Ida’s daughter Marlene from here drove them all to Biggar to visit her sister. They had dinner there then came home at about 3 p.m.

The next day, Ida booked the lounge here and had everyone enjoy a KFC supper. Her daughter and a friend from Saskatoon were also present. She said it was nice to have everybody together. I’m sure it was, Ida. The next day, she made lunch downstairs for noon for some who could come.

Then her daughter and family from Hamilton stayed and had supper with Ida. Afterwards they travelled to Saskatoon to stay with Ida’s daughter. Later they got on the plane back home. It sounds like you had a lovely visit with all of your family, Ida. Ida went to Biggar Sept.

14. The next day her nephew took her and her sister to Tofield, Alta., to visit another sister. They visited their niece in the hospital who has MS. Afterwards her sister drove them around sightseeing. Then she drove them to Camrose, Alta. At the end of the week, Ida’s nephew came to Wainwright, Alta. to meet them; then they came home.

It did seem like a wonderful trip, Ida.

She also said she was home for Thanksgiving.

Shirley Tebay spent Thanksgiving Sunday at the home of Gary and Roberta.

Dennis and Juliette, Dale and Joyce and Brennan, Chelsey and Cameron were also there. They all enjoyed a delicious turkey supper with all the trimmings.

Shirley organizes the Kaiser every Tuesday night.

The scores last Tuesday were first, Edith Dirkson; second, Louise Haubold and Betty Bonson tied; and third, Shirley Tebay.

My family and I had a lovely, tasty dinner at a restaurant this year. I decided to give my daughters a rest from cooking. They didn’t mind a bit.

Halloween was celebrated here with a pizza party and games on the seventh floor organized by Bev McCrimmon, with bingo in the main lodge.

All activities have begun again, which is nice.

There are many new faces in Tower II now. Hope most of you come for coffee in the lounge and get acquainted.

The curling season has started again. I guess everyone knows where I will be most of the time.

Don’t forget your flu shot this month. Until next time, take care, everyone.

Remembrance theme reflected all week The theme for this week has been remembrance. Elementary students wrote essays and drew posters to hang in the gym during the Remembrance Day Service.

Bulletin boards were created to honour the veterans and service people who fought in the wars.

The annual Remembrance Day service started at 10:45 a.m. in the school gym Nov. 10. Students and staff entered the gym quietly and were all adorned with a bright red poppy. Many community members were also in attendance.

Following the singing of O Canada, the Grades 2 to 5 choir sang two selections — One Wish and Shine A Light For Peace. The famous poem, In Flanders Fields,

aymont Central School News

was read by Carlee Hamilton and Patience Brown.

Several videos were shown and then the service of remembrance was observed.

Community members and students laid wreaths and poppies to honour family members who served our country. Candles were lit by students to show their respect.

Justin Whitehead , Grade 11, read the poem, They Gave Up Their Tomorrow, So We Could Have Today by Florence Nobel. The service concluded with the singing of God Save The Queen.

Special thanks to Sandra Large and Wanda Gillatt for organizing the service.

Lunch was available after the service from the Grade 12 graduating class.

A pie throw was held in the gym at noon Monday as part of the incentive program for the fundraising project. Cassidy Serhienko and Carlee Hamilton graciously volunteered to receive the pies in the face.

The SLC is sponsoring a Remembrance Day poster contest. After the posters have been used for the service, they will be given to the SLC members to be judged.

Operation Christmas Child boxes were filled by the different classrooms and will be sent to needy children around the world.

The Memorial Cross, more often referred to as the Silver Cross, was first instituted by Order-in-Council 2374, Dec. 1, 1919. It was awarded to mothers and widows, whoever was the next of kin, of Canadian soldiers who died on active duty or whose death was consequently attributed to such duty. The crosses were sent automatically to mothers and wives who qualified and could be worn by the recipients any time, even though they were not themselves veterans. The cross was engraved with the name, rank and service number of the son or husband.

Soldiers killed from this area in the First World War, 1914-18, were Richard Brehon and Alfred Bohn. Soldiers killed from this area in the Second World War,

I contacted Angle Entertainment to see when the episode would be on TV and was informed we were the 13th episode. Two have already been shown. The person I spoke with wasn’t sure if they would take a break during the holiday season but she figures our episode should be on around Jan. 2, so check out APTN. She said if you are a Shaw or SaskTel customer you should be able to see the Maymont episode.

The Battlefords, Thursday, November 12, 2015 - Page 46

Serving God and others invisibly gains grace Ed, my old neighbour from Saskatchewan, isn’t shy about showing pride.

He insists if you don’t toot your own horn no one else will do it for you.

My old neighbour sees pride as a positive attitude for he feels it is selfrespect or satisfaction in something done or owned.

He says we should have pride in the accomplishments of our children, family, and friends.

Pride, he feels, might turn into a high opinion of oneself, even haughtiness or arrogance for a few individuals, but pride isn’t a problem with him.

Is it possible we mainly think we are humble enough and not overly

proud in our attitudes?

I was telling Ed that I have been doing a study on pride and the need for Christians to serve God and others in invisibility or secrecy, so they don’t get prideful.

Jesus said the essence of spiritual life is to love God with all one’s heart, soul, mind and strength and one’s neighbour as oneself. Our pride or preoccupation with ourselves causes us to exclude God and other people from their rightful place in our hearts.

Often we focus on how well we are doing, our image or appearance so God and our neighbour are afterthoughts if given

eighbourly Advice According to Ed

By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca any thought at all. Pride is why we evade, deny, blame and defend ourselves if someone or God’s word corrects us. It is the original sin as it is our desire and attempt to be equal with God. Pride is the reason we feel more important than other people when we are

better, smarter or holier than others. Pride is at the heart of desire for approval and motivates us to impress others for their applause and recognition.

When we act to impress others, we are showing off to get attention.

As, Christians, Jesus warned that we need to be

careful not to do our acts of righteousness so they are seen by others who will honour us for them.

“When we give to the needy it is to be done in secret. We should not let our left hand know what our right hand is doing.

When we give in secret, God sees it and will reward us. When we pray, we should go into a room and shut the door and pray to our Heavenly Father, who is unseen. God, who sees the praying done in secret, will reward it.”

When we fast no one should know we are doing it. What we do is not to be obvious to others so they will honour or applaud us.

When we seek to do good

things, we must not do them as badges of honor for others to see.

The way to transform our prideful hearts is practising serving God and others by keeping our deeds hidden. When we do good things for others, we do not say anything about them. Others need not see them.

Our actions are not to revolve around us in any way. We serve others by putting them before ourselves, by swallowing our pride. God sees when we are not too important for the interruptions and demands of others.

He sees when we are humble enough to turn the other cheek.

Senior girls advance to volleyball regionals

By Lorraine Olinyk Correspondent

SHSAA Conference Senior Girls’ Volleyball Championships were held around the province Nov. 6 and 7, and Maymont hosted the 1A for this region. Competing for the chance to go on to regionals were Borden, Blaine Lake, Canwood, Maymont and Medstead.

The Medstead girls were dominant all day, winning their four matches. Borden won three and lost only to Medstead, and the other three teams won one game and lost three. Advancing to regionals Nov. 14 from this conference are Medstead and Borden, with the host site to be decided.

Borden will be hosting the Senior 1A Boys’ Conference Nov. 14 and the two winners from that will go to regionals Nov. 21. Winners from regionals will advance to provincials which, for the girls, Medstead is the host Nov. 20-21 and the boys will go to Annaheim Nov. 27-28.

The Borden Community Centre Preservation Committee is trying to raise funds for kitchen upgrades to the centre. They are holding a perogy and ham supper and Great Plains is entertaining Nov. 20 in the centre.

Supper tickets do not need to be bought in advance, but for the show at

orden Radisson 7 p.m., which features Darrel & Saskia – songwriters who sing blues, folk, country gospel and more and toured with Gary Fjellgaard – the $10 tickets need to be bought or booked by Nov. 17 from Block’s Agencies, Affinity Credit Union or call Dianne S. at 306-997-2235 or Dianne R. at 306-9972219.

Affinity Credit Union holds a toonie draw every month to raise funds for the centre kitchen upgrades and in October David Wiebe of Borden won $82.

Borden School held their Remembrance Day service Nov. 5. Laying wreaths were Cadet Dyllan Tracksell, Deputy Mayor Tony Martens, armed forces marine Brian Gabrysh and each classroom.

Each classroom then took part in the program with Grade 1 reciting a Remembrance Day poem, Grades 2/3/4 sang Let There Be Peace on Earth with actions and Grades 5/6 sang Never Let Go. MacKenzie Piprell and Brooklyn Gader read a poem, Spirits of the Past.

Brian Gabrysh gave the message. A video compiled

by Rachel Sutherland and

Grade 10 was shown on 100 Years of Flanders Fields.

Principal Dean Broughton thanked everyone who came, the participants and teachers for a job well-done, especially Mr. Dyck and Mrs. Yuskiw who organized everything.

The gym walls were decorated with posters of Remembrance Day and poppies and a display of a bed and bedding used by a Second World War veteran.

Our family has my son Bryan Pidwerbesky, from Christchuch, New Zealand, arriving Nov. 11, and staying until Nov. 16. This past week, along with his fellow workers from Fulton Hogan Co. of New Zealand, Bryan has travelled from Vancouver, B.C., to Toronto, Ont., Niagara Falls, Ont., Edmonton, Alta, Calgary, Alta. and back to Vancouver, meeting with road building companies. After the others fly back Nov. 11, he is coming to Saskatchewan where we will be exchanging Christmas presents.

At the Lloydminister Stockade Roundup last week, Clythemane Shorthorns – G & S Sutherland – of Borden showed the reserve grand champion shorthorn bull, Clythe Mane Boulder 12B, and Serhienko Cattle Co. of Maymont showed the grand champion Charlois bull, SVY Grizzly 521C.

Gazebo for Snell Park to be installed in the spring

By Helena Pike Correspondent

The sudden death of Carol Sutherland came as a shock to her family and all who knew her. Carol passed away Nov. 2 at her home in Paynton. A memorial service was held for her at Maidstone Legion Hall Nov. 7. Carol is survived by her partner Tim Able, her daughters Kimberley and Chelsea and their families in Calgary, her mother Ruth Sutherland and brothers Lyle and John, and many other relatives and friends. Carol grew up in Waseca and attended Waseca and Maidstone schools. She worked at many jobs during her life.

Our sympathy is extended to all.

The gazebo for Snell Park has been delivered to the village and will be installed next summer.

Nov. 8, a number of people gathered at Waseca Community Centre to put together a rink board. The following people volunteered to be on the board: Brad McIntyre, Tamara

aseca News Snell, Crystal Sutherland, Roger Haugrud and Walter Wickman. Many others volunteered to help where necessary, especially when the rink is flooded. The board plans to hold regular meetings, the first one being on the first Wednesday in December. In the meantime, the board will be doing cleaning and maintenance work to have the rink ready to be flooded when weather permits.

School bus drivers will be pleased to know Debra Setter has acquired her endorsement to drive a school bus, so there will be a spare driver handy when needed.

The Waseca Community Centre held a meeting at the centre on the evening of Nov. 3. The main project for the future is to remove, dispose of and replace the existing flooring in the centre. Many activities and

events will be taking place at the centre throughout the next few months to finance this project, including potluck suppers, a bake sale, pie bingos, a fish fry and a Father’s Day raffle. Other suggestions were also made.

Watch the post office bulletin board and other notices for dates and times of the above activities.

The Centre Committee is having a Christmas Crafts for Kids Nov. 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. Hot dogs will be provided to all participants.

The committee has a budget quote for the flooring project, which includes materials, supplies and labour.

Grants will be applied to for the project.

Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, was a school holiday and students will be free for the rest of the week. We have not had a veteran’s committee in the village for many years. That does not mean that we should forget those who gave their lives to keep our country free.

Anyone wishing to place a wreath on the cenotaph is welcome to do so.

TRAILER RENTALS! Full Day or Half Day Rentals Available.

Posters and Remembrance Day verses along with a bed and bedding used on the ship by Roy Brick in the Second World War were displayed at Borden School Nov. 5.
