Panhandling bylaw amendments defeated

By John Cairns Staff Reporter

Changes to the panhandling bylaw came to a crashing halt Tuesday night at city council.

The amendments would have increased the distance from 10 meters to 100 meters in front of ATMs, liquor stores and bus stops and other places where people were not allowed to panhandle in the city, among other provisions.

But the amendments were defeated on third reading by a 5-2 vote.

The changes had also been supported by business owners and local residents who had complained about harassment from individuals downtown. Councillors at Tuesday’s meeting relayed stories from people about being harassed for money by crowds of people at street corners, or even of people surrounding their automobiles at parking lots.

The existing panhandling bylaw already prohibited aggressive panhan-

dling. But the changes were introduced, according to city manager Jim Puffalt, at the request of the RCMP who believed the existing bylaw was not sufficient to give them enough tools to deal with the safety issues downtown.

The panhandling bylaw changes have drawn opposition, however, with opponents questioning whether further restrictions on panhandling were the right approach.

On Monday night, council heard from lawyer Ben Feist on behalf of a delegation opposing the bylaw changes.

The first concern, Feist said, was with the “public policy considerations” with the bylaw, whether “this is really an effective approach to what we’re trying to solve in the community.”

He questioned whether handing out tickets to those in poverty was the right approach, and whether it would push the problem elsewhere out of downtown and to other areas of the city.

The other concern Feist

raised was the constitutional Charter issues involved with raising the restriction on panhandling to 100 meters.

The bylaw would “have the effect of being a blanket ban” on panhandling, and those bans have been found unconstitutional throughout North America, Feist said.

Council also received correspondence from Erin Katerynych, executive director of the Battlefords and District Food and Resource Centre, who stated the bylaw change was “not the optimal solution to current concerns.”

She also voiced the concern that the bylaw would “simply relocate the current concerns to other neighbourhoods, rather than address the core supports required by vulnerable community members.

“Through actively collaborating and connecting community resources and supports, and effectively enforcing the current bylaw in the downtown area, I feel that this would provide a better more inclusive

decision for all community stakeholders,” stated Katerynych.

When third reading of the bylaw came up for discussion later in the meet-

ing, councillors who had previously voted in favour of first and second reading made it clear they had second thoughts.

“It’s given me a little bit

of time to reflect what are we trying to accomplish here,” said Councillor Kelli Hawtin. “What’s our end goal of what we’re doing?”

Commentary

The Canadian multicultural community’s growing political muscle

The commentaries offered on this editorial page are intended to provide thought-provoking material for our readers. Contributors’ articles, cartoons or letters do not necessarily reflect the opinion of any Regional Optimist staff.

By Constantine Passaris

Professor of Economics / University of New Brunswick

The election of Jagmeet Singh as the new federal New Democratic Party leader is a game changer for the Canadian political landscape.

Singh, a 38-year-old lawyer, has his feet firmly planted in Canada’s multicultural community. He’s a bearded, turban-wearing Sikh who carries a kirpan, and speaks English, French and Punjabi fluently.

New Democrats have astutely read the Canadian political tea leaves and concluded that the multicultural community is a force to be reckoned with at the ballot box.

Courting the votes of Canada’s multicultural community started with Pierre Elliot Trudeau and the Liberal Party. In 1971, Prime Minister Trudeau stood up in the House of Commons and announced Canada’s multicultural policy. It was a convincing signal to the multicultural community to park their votes with the Liberals.

Later, the election of Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, whose wife Mila was born in the former Yugoslavia, changed the direction of the multicultural vote. Mulroney’s determination to give the Canadian multicultural community a voice in public policy found expression in his appointments to federal agencies, commissions and boards.

But Mulroney’s most significant accomplishment was to elevate Canada’s multicultural policy to a higher level

Letter

Thanks to Ritz

Dear Editor As the Chief Administrative Officer for Kindersley, I can say that Gerry Ritz strongly represented us locally and regionally. Many community projects that received Federal funding would never have materialized had it not been for his support. This includes the Water West Project that received huge financial support and supplies fresh drinking water to thousands in west central Saskatchewan. In addition to being the champion for opening grain markets for farmers, champion changes with the railroads to force equal opportunity for grain as well as oil on the tracks, he was also a key Minister focusing on trade which opened global markets for Saskatchewan products. From my professional vantage I can say that his hard work bore us much fruit. Good luck Gerry with the next phase of life, and thank you for your service.

Bernie Morton CAO, Kindersley

by introducing a Multiculturalism Act. It was a first on the international landscape.

Mulroney conveyed the message that Canada had become a multicultural country in fact and in law. Suffice to say, he was popular among the multicultural community and a magnet for multicultural votes.

There have certainly been other champions of the multicultural community in Canada.

The late Sava Bosnitch was a longtime Fredericton, N.B., resident and a professor of political science at the University of New Brunswick. Bosnitch, who was also

Mila Mulroney’s godfather, was a passionate advocate for the multicultural community and a tireless defender of the community’s human rights.

More recently, Jason Kenney, one-time minister of immigration in Steven Harper’s Conservative government, recognized the political clout of the multicultural community and attempted to attract a larger share of those votes for his party.

No longer a horror story

Will you ever go to Las Vegas (again)?

• Yes

42%

Dear Editor For several years, the drivers using Delorme Drive in Cochin have put up with displaced pavement, deep potholes, an uneven road and risks of injury and vehicle damage due to the horror story of a road.

Due to the fast actions of the new mayor and council, this situation is being addressed. The deteriorated pavement has been removed, and the road re-shaped. There is also gravel and dust control and potholes filled with hot mix.

This construction will make Delorme Drive much safer for the users – farmers, residents, commuters, tourists, etc. In addition, we will no longer watch the roof of the school bus go by our house and fear a rollover involving children.

The Battle of Tenaru River and the Battle of Las Vegas As most people know, Dec. 7, 1941, was the “Day that will live in infamy,” as proclaimed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his declaration of war on the Empire of Japan. The attack on Pearl Harbour put in action America’s response, and one of the first locations that response took place, on land, was the Battle of Guadalcanal.

It took eight months for the Americans to get there.

On Aug. 7, 1942, U.S. Marines landed on Guadalcanal, quickly seizing an airfield that would soon be renamed Henderson

Association 2012 Columnist of the Year Field. Guadalcanal was at the very periphery of the Japanese Empire’s Pacific conquests, and damned close to Australia, relatively speaking. Its airfield was key. To start the long road to Tokyo, the

Solomon Islands, including Guadalcanal, had to be taken. The Marines captured the airfield, and dug in.

In response, the Japanese landed a force of 900 elite soldiers east of the

Don’t say death For 17 years, Planet Earth has survived with constant acts of terror, real and threatened. The most devastating attacks came on Sept. 11, 2001 when the World Trade Center was destroyed and the Pentagon damaged. Except for the terrorists who died, all those who perished in the attacks were murdered. The United States embarked on a policy of revenge that knew neither time limits nor boundaries.

Murder is one way of saying death and sometimes so is revenge.

A century ago the official policy of the United States was to isolate itself from the Great War, which began in 1914. Washington profited from the selling of armaments to the Western Allies for three years before entering the conflict

in 1917. The incident that figured most prominently in drawing Washington away from its isolationist position was the sinking of the liner Lusitania by a German submarine. Of the 1,201 lives lost, many were American. For many years the official version of sink-

ing was characterized as a barbaric act of terror.

In 1972, researcher and author Colin Simpson wrote a true account of the life and death of the great liner. Lusitania was built under subvention. The British government contributed to her construction costs and naval architects influenced her design. The Cunard line, in return, agreed, in the event of war, she would be turned over to the Royal Navy to be fitted out as a fast auxiliary cruiser. The liner was a compromise, part floating palace and part ship of war. With her high superstructure and narrow beam, she was so unstable that with even a small degree of list, her lifeboats could not be launched successfully.

airfield on Aug. 19. Of that contingent, 800 battlehardened troops marched for two days before attacking. The Marines, aware of the impending assault, lined up on a tidal lagoon that they actually called Alligator Creek, but history would call, mistakenly, Tenaru River.

With Marine artillery pieces firing canister shot (think of giant shotgun shells) and nests of Great War-era Browning M-1917 water-cooled heavy machine guns, the Marines were prepared to stop the Japanese.

These machine guns were heavy, ungainly and fearsome. As long as you didn’t run out of water for cooling or bullets for firing, they would basically fire forever, as many soldiers found out in no-mans-land during the Great War (what most people call the First World War).

Into this fearsome fire, roughly 800 of Japanese Colonel Kiyonao Ichiki’s the 28th Infantry Regiment charged. It was one of the first times American ground forces were on the receiving end of suicidal massed “Banzai” charges. Despite running into almost certain death, the Japanese soldiers would not relent.

As I noted above, the Japanese were battle-

hardened. Japan had been at war in China since 1931.

They had rolled over half of the Pacific. These men knew how to fight, and how to kill. Many had done it before. And they would not expend their lives cheaply.

Eventually five tanks were sent in to finish the job. The rear of the tanks looked like meat grinders, having driven over living and dead Japanese. Yet still, they would not surrender.

The result of the attack was a slaughter the likes of which that startled the Americans. They had never seen anything like that. Of the 15 prisoners they took, they were largely taken unconscious.

The surviving wounded did their best to take out American medics with a grenade instead of allowing them to attend to their wounds. After this battle, Marines learned there was no such thing as taking prisoners with the Japanese.

The Battle of Tenaru River is shown in great detail in the first episode of HBO’s miniseries The Pacific. It is gut-wrenching, to say the least.

Of those roughly 800 Japanese attackers, somewhere between 774 and 777 were killed. In expending their lives, they had managed to inflict

between 41 and 44 deaths among the American Marines of the 1st Marine Regiment. Keep that number in mind.

Step forward to Oct. 1, 2017. One man, and at this point, presumably only one man, hauls numerous guns into a Las Vegas hotel room overlooking a country music festival. In about 10 minutes, firing hundreds of rounds using modified semi-automatic rifles, he shoots into the crowd like the proverbial fish-in-a-barrel. One man kills 58 people and wounds nearly 500.

This one suicidal man, heavily armed and in an optimal position, inflicted more American (and Canadian) deaths in those roughly 10 minutes than a battle-hardened regiment of 800 Japanese soldiers were able to achieve, armed with rifles, pistols, machine guns, mortars, swords and knives in a night-long frontal, suicidal Banzai attack.

Let that soak in.

More Americans died, at the hands of one of their own citizens, than did in a major battle with a hardened enemy. That is a context I don’t think most people will fathom. That is America, today.

Boyer case adjourned

Notre Dame School Hosts Pre-K Family Event

Staff

The fraud case against Susan Boyer, accused of defrauding Canada Post of cash money exceeding $5,000, was back in provincial court Tuesday

morning.

However, it was only a brief appearance for counsel in the case as the matter was adjourned to Oct. 30 at 1:30 p.m.

Defence lawyer Ivan Frank indicated to Judge

Lorna Dyck they were still in the process of receiving and reviewing disclosure in the case.

The accused, Boyer, was in the courtroom for this latest appearance. She remains free on bail.

and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, among several others.

Stucka appeared once again in North Battleford provincial court by closedcircuit television Wednesday morning, Oct. 11, for what was scheduled to be a show cause hearing. However, the latest appearance turned out to be a brief one.

The reason for the latest adjournment is because Stucka now needs a new lawyer. His Edmontonbased defence lawyer

Hasaan Jomha has withdrawn from the case.

Judge Lloyd Deshaye has adjourned the case for a week to allow Stucka to arrange for a new lawyer.

The indication from Stucka is he will try again to find private counsel to represent him in the case.

Stucka remains remanded to next Wednesday.

Also, the Crown indicated in court Wednesday that most of the charges against Stucka will eventually return to Lloydminster to be dealt with in court there.

trained as a social worker in the Lloydminster Hospital and has worked as a legal assistant at the former law firm Martinez Meunier Sholter in Lloydminster. More recently, Falk worked as a legislative assistant for Conservative Member of Parliament Arnold Viersen.

“I am ready to hit the ground running to represent the people of this constituency.”

Falk is confident that she is the best choice to represent the constituents of Battlefords-Lloydminster on the issues that matter most to them: the championing of Canada’s energy

sector and natural resources that employ many of the region’s citizens, and creating a business environment that encourages and rewards entrepreneurship and the hard work of Canadians.

“The combination of my professional experience as a social worker and my personal experience as a mother, gives me a unique ability to be a clear voice and advocate for the specific needs of families, youth, and seniors,” says Falk.

A date for the nomination meeting has not yet been set.

NDP members are sending a powerful signal to the multicultural community.

The full and equal participation of the multicultural community in building a better Canada is now a foundational part of the political structure.

Singh’s election also sends a message to the other political parties: platitudes and hollow promises won’t cut it anymore.

Parties preparing for the next federal election in 2019 must recognize the political importance of the multicultural community.

They need game plans that are visionary and strategic. They must connect in purposeful ways with the multicultural community.

It reminds me of the

difference between playing backgammon and chess. In backgammon, you roll the dice and hope for the best.

With chess, you pick your moves strategically with an eye on the prize.

So Canadian political parties should embrace the words of Robert F. Kennedy, who said: “There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why?

I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”

Falk seeks nomination Staff

Rosemarie Falk of Lloydminster is entering the Conservative Party’s nomination race to be the next Member of Parliament for Battlefords-Lloydminster.

Immigration streams from Asia, Africa and South America have accelerated the diversity of the Canadian population mosaic. In addition, recent refugee movements from the Middle East and Asia have deepened our cultural and religious diversity.

Contemporary Canadians don’t have the same hang-ups as their parents about cultural diversity.

They’ve grown up with that diversity in school, played hockey and baseball with and had boyfriends and girlfriends from the multicultural community.

William Wardill: Don’t say death Continued from Page 5 When the war began, only gun rings had been fitted before she was returned to commercial service in the role of a fast blockade runner. As such she carried a variety of war materials as well as soldiers in civilian dress.

Under international law she carried contraband and was a legitimate target for the German Navy. The innocent passengers who died when she went down died by accident. The term “collateral damage” had not yet been coined.

Afloat, she had been an asset as a blockade runner.

At the bottom of the ocean with drowned Americans on board, she became a propaganda asset.

In WWII, citizens of Coventry, and the great cathedral there, were also victims of their country’s

wartime strategies. British Intelligence had broken the German military codes. To aggressively defend Coventry might reveal to the Germans that their codes were no longer secret. Coventry was not warned. No defending aircraft were sent aloft.

People in Coventry, without their prior knowledge became human sacrifices.

“Terror bombing” began during the Spanish Civil War and escalated throughout WWII to the massive casualty counts of Rotterdam, Warsaw, Dresden and Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

The Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 was not a terror bombing. It was directed at naval and military targets. It was the legitimate business of warfare. People who wear the

uniforms of armed forces are expected, ultimately, to kill and be killed. On both sides of an international conflict, the dead are called heroes.

We don’t know how many people perished in “ethnic cleansing” in the Balkans or in the “surgical strikes” in Syria. Changing descriptive terms can’t change the reality of death. “Killed in action” is an honest term. It means what it means. The casualties of terror attacks are not willingly at war with anyone. Like Lusitania’s innocent passengers, they are people in the wrong place.

Killing and caging terrorists will not bring an end to terrorism. The only way to end it is by removing the conditions in which it is spawned.

By Evelyn Campbell This Tuesday, we had an election of new executives. Faye Erickson will be our new president, Lorraine Voegeli will be vice-president, Kathy Smith will remain treasurer.

Everyone is trying to prepare for our upcoming show and sale Oct. 20

and 21 in the Don Ross Centre, which will be in the craft room at the same time as the Marigold Show which will be in the Chapel Gallery.

Don’t forget to come and partake of some free goodies, see the art to get a chance on the door prize.

A call for artists is still out for an exhibition in 2018-19 based on the North Saskatchewan River oil spill.

As Long as the River Flows: An Art Response to the Oil Catastrophe, is inviting submissions of recent artistic work including mixed media, film, literary and emerging arts for consideration in the exhibition.

The submission deadline is Oct. 15.

According to Leah Garven, manager of galleries, there is still time to express interest.

“Submission response has been slow for this exhibition, but we have received some amazing work, so I don’t want to give up on the concept yet,” said Garven in a statement. “It may mean

that the exhibition will be postponed to 2019 in North Battleford and a later date at the Mann Art Gallery.

If you intend to submit work, but need more time, please send me an email at lgarven@cityofnb.ca with a brief description of your work or intention.”

The work for the exhibition is being selected by the Chapel Gallery and the Mann Art Gallery.

Live Well seeks vendors Staff The Battlefords Live Well Expo and Fair is seeking 30 to 50 vendors to sell merchandise at the event taking place Saturday, Nov. 18 at the Don Ross Centre.

“This is a day when merchants, vendors, prac-

titioners, instructors, nutritionists, wardrobe planners and home decor people can come together to show what the Battlefords have to offer: it is about showcasing our community and our people,” Marie Graw wrote in a news release.

A stage to do sessions

with crowds is also available. Booths cost $150.

There will be a door prize, and Graw asks vendors to contribute a door prize if they wish.

Applications will be accepted until Saturday, Oct. 15. Marie Graw can be contacted at 306-441-2407.

- Lightfoot People have got to feel safe coming downtown.

- Taylor Continued from Page 3 She pointed out most of those who were in favour of the bylaw changes had pointed to the need to address safety issues downtown, such as people being harassed or followed to their car.

But “none of those people told me they felt unsafe

because they were peacefully asked for $10,” said Hawtin.

Other councillors, including Councillor Kevin Steinborn and Councillor Len Taylor also pulled their support for the amendments, though Taylor did express a desire to address the numerous issues with

Five councillors raised their hands Tuesday night to vote against amendments to the panhandling bylaw.

harassed.

“People have got to feel safe coming downtown,” said Taylor.

Councillor Kent Lindgren, who had opposed first and second reading, maintained his staunch opposition to the bylaw throughout.

“The more we look at this, the more to me it becomes obvious it’s not actually solving the issues it’s proposing it solves,” said Lindgren.

Others on council did not change their vote.

Councillor Greg Lightfoot voted in favor, pointing to

the feedback he’d gotten from businesses and residents who wanted to see addressed the aggressive nature of the panhandling going on.

He also pointed to complaints from people who were concerned about being followed to their cars, and of businesses that had to hire extra security or employ a “buddy system” so people could safely get to their vehicles after hours.

“There has to be some major changes somewhere,” said Lightfoot.

“It’s the same group of

people doing this on a consistent basis. It has to be dealt with.”

Mayor Bater also maintained his support for the bylaw amendments, saying he “fully supports” their community safety strategy and all the initiatives to address the root causes of crime and poverty in the community.

He pointed to stories he’s heard from people about “intimidation” they had felt downtown. “I want to give law enforcement the tools they need,” said Bater.

In the end the final vote was 5-2 against third reading of the panhandling bylaw amendments.

Now, the question is where does the city go from here to deal with the safety issues raised at the meeting.

In speaking to reporters, Mayor Bater indicated more discussions would be needed.

“I think we will engage with our partners in the RCMP detachment, we’ll engage with the city administration to look at alternative policy solutions to what was presented,” said Bater.

“For now, I think the desire by council to see some change exists. I think it’s just a matter of finding the right policy that meets the needs of council.”

NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE DISCLOSURE ON CONTINUANCE REGULATIONS (FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONS) Date: October 6, 2017

To: Members of Innovation Credit Union

Important qualifications

From November 22, 2017 to December 8, 2017, the members of Innovation Credit Union (“Innovation”) will vote on a special resolution to authorize Innovation Credit Union to make an application to become a federal credit union. Members of Innovation Credit Union are invited to consider the information in this Notice before voting. Votes can be submitted during the voting period using one of the voting methods available.

In accordance with the Disclosure on Continuance Regulations (Federal Credit Unions) [the “Regulations”], this Notice is provided to inform Innovation Credit Union members of changes to deposit insurance coverage that would apply to their deposits held with Innovation in the event that Innovation becomes a federal credit union and, on that same day, a member of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”).

Deposit insurance automatically applies to eligible deposits held at financial institutions that are members of deposit insurance protection agencies. It protects depositors’ savings in case of financial institution failure.

Deposits held with Innovation Credit Union are currently insured by the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (“CUDGC”), which insures deposits held at credit unions incorporated in Saskatchewan.

If Innovation becomes a federal credit union, it will automatically become a member of the CDIC and CUDGC deposit insurance coverage will cease to apply. The CDIC insures deposits held by its member institutions, which include banks, federal credit unions, trust and loan companies.

The information included in this Notice is current as of the date of this Notice. Deposit insurance coverage offered by CUDGC and/or the CDIC may change in the future.

What is covered in this Notice

The publication of this Notice and a positive vote by the members of Innovation Credit Union to apply to become a federal credit union do not guarantee that approval will be granted by Canada’s Minister of Finance and other regulatory bodies or that becoming a federal credit union will occur on the dates referenced in this Notice or in any other document or that it will occur under the conditions stated in this Notice or in any other document.

Continuation day The continuation day is the date that Innovation would become a federal credit union, as indicated in the letters patent issued by Canada’s Minister of Finance granting Innovation Credit Union continuance. On that same day, Innovation Credit Union would become a member of the CDIC, CUDGC deposit insurance coverage would end and CDIC deposit insurance coverage would begin.

Current Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (CUDGC) deposit insurance coverage Until the continuation day, the full amount of deposits held with Innovation Credit Union, including accrued interest, is insured by CUDGC as described in Table 1. The insurance applies to all forms of personal, business and trust deposits held in Saskatchewan credit unions. The insurance covers all deposits in Saskatchewan credit unions regardless of membership, citizenship, or residence of the depositor.

In accordance with the Regulations, this Notice includes the following: • Continuation day: information about the day on which current CUDGC deposit insurance coverage Table 1: Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (CUDGC) deposit insurance coverage for deposits held with Innovation Deposits held Deposits in Deposits in a Deposits in an Deposits in a Deposits in a would end and CDIC deposit insurance in one name more than one trust account RRSP RRIF TFSA name (joint coverage would begin; deposits) • Current CUDGC deposit insurance Deposits fully insured coverage: a description of the CUDGC Savings ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ coverage that currently applies to accounts* deposits held with Innovation; Chequing Not applicable Not applicable Not applicable ✓ ✓ ✓ accounts* • Transitional CDIC coverage: a GIC and other ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ description of the CDIC coverage that terms*† regardless of length to maturity would apply during the transition Money orders, Not applicable Not applicable Not applicable ✓ ✓ ✓ period to pre-existing deposits held certified cheques, with Innovation; and traveler’s cheques, • Standard CDIC coverage: a description drafts, and prepaid letters of credit in of the CDIC coverage that would respect of which a apply after the transition period to credit union is deposits held with Innovation and how primarily liable this coverage differs from the pre*Including the Canadian dollar equivalent of foreign currency deposits continuance CUDGC deposit insurance †Including the principal on index-linked term deposits and the return once the credit union is holding it coverage applicable to Innovation Credit Union.

Transitional CDIC coverage

coverage is available for a five-year term deposit but not for a seven-year term deposit. CUDGC provides coverage for deposits regardless of the length of any fixed repayment period.

Starting on the continuation day, deposit insurance coverage for deposits held with Innovation Credit Union would be covered by the CDIC so long as deposits are eligible for CDIC coverage. CUDGC deposit insurance would no longer apply, including to those deposits not eligible for CDIC coverage.

A transition period would begin on the continuation day. During this transition period, any “pre-existing deposits” — deposits that were made with Innovation before it became a federal credit union and that remain outstanding on the continuation day — would be insured by the CDIC to the same extent as the current CUDGC deposit insurance coverage described above. During this period CDIC deposit insurance coverage would not apply to •

deposits in a foreign currency or that are payable outside Canada;

•

deposits in respect of which the Government of Canada is a preferred claimant; and

•

investments in non-equity shares and declared but unpaid dividends on those shares

The transition period would end 180 days after the continuation day, in the case of preexisting demand deposits; and on the date of maturity, in the case of a pre-existing deposit that is to be repaid on a fixed day (i.e., a term deposit or a GIC).

For example, and bearing in mind the abovenoted exceptions to CDIC coverage, if the continuation day were January 1, 2020, any eligible pre-existing deposit that is not for a fixed period would have unlimited coverage until June 28, 2020 inclusive, minus any amount withdrawn from the eligible preexisting deposits during this period. Any eligible pre-existing deposit that is for a fixed term, bearing in mind the above-noted exceptions to CDIC coverage, would have unlimited coverage until the end of that fixed term.

Deposits in foreign currencies: The CDIC does not provide deposit insurance coverage for any deposits in a foreign currency or any deposits that are payable outside Canada. This is different from the deposit insurance provided by CUDGC, which covers all deposits regardless of currency.

•

Government of Canada as a preferred claimant: The CDIC does not provide deposit insurance coverage for deposits in respect of which the Government of Canada is a preferred claimant.

No such restriction is expressed in respect of CUDGC deposit insurance.

The CDIC transitional coverage does not apply to deposits that are made with Innovation Credit Union on or after the continuation day. During the transition period, these deposits would be treated as separate deposits from any pre-existing deposits and would be covered in accordance with the CDIC standard deposit insurance coverage that is described in the next section.

Once the transition period ends, the CDIC standard deposit insurance coverage that is described in the next section would apply to all eligible deposits with Innovation Credit Union. For the purpose of determining deposit insurance coverage per insurance category, eligible pre-existing deposits would be combined with eligible deposits made on or after the continuation day.

Standard CDIC coverage

What is NOT covered by standard CDIC Deposit Insurance coverage: (1) membership shares issued by a federal credit union; (2) any shares issued by a federal credit union; (3) GIC and other term deposits that are repayable only after a period of greater than five years; (4) deposits in foreign currencies and deposits that are payable outside Canada; (5) debentures issued by a federal credit union; (6) shares issued by other corporations; (7) mutual funds; (8) bonds, notes, treasury bills, and debentures issued by governments or corporations; (9) money orders, certified cheques, traveler’s cheques, drafts, and prepaid letters of credit in respect of which a federal credit union is not primarily liable; (10) principal protected notes (with some exceptions) (11) safety deposit box contents and (12) securities held for safekeeping.

The CDIC’s standard deposit insurance coverage would apply to all eligible deposits that are made with Innovation Credit Union after the continuation day. This is the same deposit insurance coverage that applies to all CDIC member institutions.

Specific examples of how transitional coverage works are available at www.innovationcu.ca.

There are certain differences between the deposit insurance coverage provided by the CDIC and CUDGC:

If you have any questions on deposit insurance, you can also visit the following Web sites:

•

•

Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation: www.cdic.ca

•

Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation: www.cudgc.sk.ca

•

Coverage limit: The CDIC provides deposit insurance coverage for all eligible deposits up to a maximum amount of $100,000 for each of the categories, in each of its member institutions (please refer to Table 2).

Battlefords Community Players host open house

By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

This past Friday, Battlefords Community Players hosted an open house to introduce audiences to the performance space’s new upgrades, and to get them warmed up for the upcoming season.

Donna Challis, Battlefords Community Players’ executive producer, gave a tour of the space, located at 102-26 Street in Battleford, a former United church.

Challis said the players bought the space five years ago and have made a number of renovations since. Funding from local sponsors and grants have allowed them to build a garage, buy trees, put in new flooring, paint, and improve air conditioning, among other things.

Challis said a future project is to build a grid on which to hang lighting.

The basement is used as a rehearsal and storage space, and includes a costume room, a hat room and a kitchen.

Old furniture is placed around a jukebox prop that was built for a show. The jukebox’s arm is a toothbrush.

Challis is directing three shows this year, including The Adventures of the Black Girl in her Search for God, which runs as a dinner theatre production later this month. The

performance’s second-ever run.

Other performances this season include two comedies, The Fox on the Fairway, and On a First Name Basis, and The Mousetrap, a murder mystery by Agatha Christie.

Challis said the play-

ers are always looking for volunteers to fill a number of roles that involve acting, set building and hosting.

“Everybody counts, I’ll tell you,” Challis said. “We need them all.”

Cindy Coupal’s roles have included stage manager and head of costum-

ing.

“You can get really involved or do little bits and pieces here and there,” Coupal said.

The players also compete for awards in different venues in the province.

This year festivals are taking place in Weyburn and

Warman.

Challis encourages everybody to join. She said the bonds that form among casts and crews of shows are familial.

“When a show’s over it’s kind of like a family split up for a while,” Challis said.

A lot gets decided at the kitchen table.

What to sow, how much to spend on inputs, what equipment to purchase. How much to set aside for the futre, or to send the kids to school. What insurance to buy, for the crop and for you.

Sporting activities heat up

By Sherri Solomko Correspondent

Well the tragic events that unfolded in Vegas hit home for some Saskatchewan residents. My thoughts and prayers go out to a former colleague from northern Saskatchewan who suffered, and is recovering from, a gunshot wound with the group she attended with. As well, several Unity and area residents were in Vegas but unharmed when these events unfolded. Another reminder to donate blood as well as pray for peace in this world that experiences so many tragic incidents like this.

UCHS keeps on keeping it on. Volleyball is in a very active season with all teams in both junior and senior divisions. Congratulations to the Grade 7 UCHS Warriors V-ball squads who won Maidstone Mini Mega volley event. Coming up on Oct. 21 is the senior and junior boys home volleyball tourney. Warrior football is at its finest sporting a 4-0 record heading into Oct. 5 matchup at home vs.

Next action for the football team is in Deslisle Friday, Oct. 13 that will determine where they are seeded for provincial football playdowns. The fall fruit sale is underway until Nov. 2, always a popular commodity for patrons. Watch for any UCHS student who will be looking to sell these products to help raise additional funds for extra curricular activity.

Some Unity Public School students were part of a travelling Agrium educational experience called Seed Survivor, and there was a great response from that. The school had a short week this week with the Thanksgiving holiday. Remember if you are a Facebook follower, UPS has a page where they keep up with the latest and greatest or you can visit their website accessible through the lskysd.ca website.

Former students of St. Peter’s school – the school would like to hear from you if you were a student between 1980 and now.

The school has some extra yearbooks from those years and you are welcome to them if you like; just pick them at the school or make arrangements for someone to grab one or some for you. Monday, Friday, Oct. 13 St. Peter’s staff and students will gather in the gym for a living rosary in honor of Fatima and the month of the Holy Rosary. They invite parents and parish members to join them for this rosary devotion. St. Peter’s staff choir will sing at 11 a.m. mass Sunday, Oct. 15 to kick off Education Week.

Midget AAs opened their season with a home and home series over Thanksgiving.

The Unity Miners will

start their season at home Oct. 20. All other teams are ready to roll, which include this statement from UMH President, Dan Feser, “Once again the Unity Minor Hockey season is upon us and once again we have bucked the national trend of declining enrolment icing a full slate of teams for the season.”

UMH will have around 140 players in the association excluding the AA Midgets. The Community Centre will ice two teams in Initiation and Novice, three in Atom, two Pee Wee, one Bantam and one Midget team.

UMH held their annual coach’s round table to prepare for the upcoming season. UMH is also hosting a couple coaches’ clinics this weekend.

We opened the season once again with a full slate of the Northwest Terminal’s annual 3 on 3 games in the novice to Bantam levels with practices ready to start after Thanksgiving weekend.

Wilkie Minor Hockey has been working hard to build their program and brokered a deal that took five Wilkie players from Unity to make a partnership with Biggar adding another team to the H14 league. Unity also granted a young goaltender a release to play in Wilkie to provide an opportunity to help Wilkie ice an Atom team. Wilkie was short a goaltender for the group while Unity had a number of goalies in their roster, so one young player graciously stepped forward for the season.

UMH also has another impressive team in the association in the form of referees. We have retained a strong core of officials for the upcoming season and UMH is thrilled to add

Birth of the CPR comes to McLurg High

By Helen Urlacher Correspondent

For over 49 years, the organization of Saskatchewan Arts Council has provided many adults and children with the performing arts through various genres and music. Funding from Saskatchewan Lotteries, Saskatchewan Arts Board and Canadian Heritage to name a few, supports more than 12,000 sport, culture and recreation organizations around this lovely province. One billion dollars in economic activity is generated, securing 23,000 jobs within

the arts community.

Each fall and spring, a slough of actors from Saskatchewan and beyond travel around Canada performing for students far and wide.

So, it was McLurg High School in Wilkie, that OSAC picked to be one of their stops this season, bringing the musical performance act The Birth of

Unity Toasty Toes drive on now Continued from Page 14 The Toasty Toes Sock Drive is a campaign where the Chiropractor’s Association of Saskatchewan and The Salvation Army have teamed up together to collect donations of new socks for people in need. Last year 740 pairs of socks were collected right here in our community! This year, St. Peter’s School and Unity Public School will be having a friendly competition to see who can collect the most socks! The campaign kicked off, Sept. 25 and runs until Friday, Nov. 24. Donations of socks or cash may be dropped off at St. Peter’s School, Unity Public School or Dr. Clark’s office during the day.

Canada 150 medals were presented at a special ceremony on Oct. 3. Congratulations to those winners.

the CPR. What a fitting performance as we know Wilkie has been a CPR terminal since 1908 and it played a important part in the growth and history of the town.

Sept. 27, McLurg High School gym was transformed into a make-shift stage as students and staff from McLurg and Norman Carter congregated together to watch a rare performance. The trio allmale cast, ranging in agea, presented an entertaining 45-minute show with music and acting production, leaving the audience wanting more.

The cast members were Allen Desnoyers, banjo player who wrote the play and songs, Ross Douglas who played the mandolin and harmonica and Henry Beasley who played the bass.

The musical opened with Sir. John A. MacDonald and Alexander McKenzie with a song and dance routine that started the job with high energy to a bluegrass jazzy tune. The trio

school students, who was picked by the trio to take part in the performance!

After the production, there was a question and answer period with many excited hands raised and

some very good questions asked.

The history of the CPR had never been so colourful, informative and fun to listen to. Bravo to OSAC and the performers!

Goals proving to be elusive for AAA Stars

By Lucas Punkari Sports Reporter

As the 2017-17 Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League season approached, Battlefords Stars head coach Norm Johnston was enthusiastic about the potential offensive firepower that he felt that the team possessed.

Other than a sevengoal outburst in a 7-3 win on Sept. 30 in Warman against the Notre Dame Argos, that has yet to be the case.

Following a third straight setback Tuesday evening against the Saskatoon Contacts in their home opener, the Stars have scored 11 goals in five games and currently find themselves with a 1-4 record heading into a Saturday night clash at the Civic Centre with the Swift Current Legionnaires.

“I never anticipated the problems that we would have scoring goals when I got here to start the year,” Johnston said.

“A 2-1 game like this one is pretty unusual at the midget level. Usually you see more of the 5-3 scores with the chances each team has. With what we can do, it’s pretty surprising to only have three goals in our last three games.”

Tuesday’s 2-1 loss at home to the Contacts saw the Stars getting outshot by a considerable margin at times, but they were able to have a number of late opportunities to try and tie the game.

“Their goaltender [Rayce Ramsay] was outstanding,” Johnston said.

“He made three or four really good saves at the end

of the third period, including a couple of huge glove saves on [Dylan] Esau. He did a great job.

“We got into some penalty trouble as a result of being late to the puck and hacking and wacking their guys instead of moving our feet. We had our chances there, but close wasn’t enough.”

The one offensive highlight for the Stars came in the third period, as Adam Beckman scored his first goal of the season in spectacular fashion.

In a play that was similar to a goal scored by Minnesota Wild forward Mikael Granlund at the 2011 World Championships for Finland, the Spokane Chiefs prospect scooped the puck up from behind the net like a lacrosse player, carried it for a few strides and tucked it under the top of the net.

“Adam hasn’t looked as good as he did when I was here at the end of the last season, but this was just his third game and there’s still that hangover after be-

ing in the WHL with Spokane,” Johnston said.

“He’s getting better in every game though and we just need to make sure that we give him some more ice time.”

Josh Paulhus and Cohner Saleski both scored for the Contacts, who have a 4-3 record and are two points behind the 5-0 Prince Albert Mintos for first place in the SMAAAHL standings.

“It was a little bit too wide open for our tastes at the end there as we gave up some good scoring chances,” Contacts head coach Marc Chartier said.

“If it wasn’t for those saves that Rayce made, we would have been in some trouble for sure.

“I was happy with the performance overall. Obviously you’d like to see a few more goals when you get close to 50 shots on net, but our guys hustled all night long. You have to give a lot of credit to Battlefords as well, as they worked hard and forced us to be at our best.”

The Stars spent their Thanksgiving weekend in Swift Current against the Legionnaires, as they were shut out 4-0 Saturday night before being doubled up 4-2 Sunday afternoon.

“We weren’t good at all on Saturday,” Johnston said. “We were okay the next game against them, but we gave up too many shots once again. That’s something that needs to change.”

Ty Mossiman led the way for the Stars Sunday, as he scored a goal and helped to set up a power play marker by Esau.

Kersey Reich, Jacob Piller and Owen Ozar each had a goal and an assist for the Legionnaires, who got their other goal from Jagger Prosofsky.

Piller and Ty Munech had two-point outings to pace the Legionnaires Saturday night, while Ozar and Larson rounded out the scoring and Cody Levesque stopped all 29 shots he faced to earn the shutout.

Joseph Young made

24 saves in Saturday’s defeat and Carter Serhyenko turned aside 30 shots in Sunday’s rematch.

“Our goalies have been great and the defence has been getting better, but it’s the lack of goals that’s worrisome,” Johnston said.

“I thought we’d turn that around against Saskatoon here, but we’re going to spend more time here at the rink watching film to get things going in the right direction for our game Saturday against Swift Current.”

The opening puck drop is slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Civic Centre.

Following that game, the Stars will have a homeand-home series with the Saskatoon Blazers.

The two sides will meet up at the Rod Hamm Memorial Arena in Saskatoon on Thursday, Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m., before a rematch at the Civic Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

The Stars will then embark on a four-game road trip that will see them go up against the Tisdale Trojans on Oct. 28 and 29 before they travel to Wilcox to play the Notre Dame Hounds and Notre Dame Argos on Nov. 4 and 5.

By Lucas Punkari Sports Reporter

Through their first four tournaments of the year, no one has been able to solve the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings Grade 9 girls’ volleyball team.

Prior to the Thanksgiving weekend, the team had won every event they had competed in, which included two tournaments in North Battleford at and a pair of tournaments in Lloydminster.

“We knew that we’d have a fairly good team given how strong they were in Grade 8, but we’re really happy with how well

they’ve played so far,” Vikings coach Bryan Cottini said.

“They faired well against older opponents last season and many of them play club volleyball together, so their overall skill and strength has improved a lot since last season.”

Their most recent win to date came at their home tournament on Sept. 30, as they defeated the Prince Albert Carlton Crusaders in the final.

“It’s always sweet to win at home,” said Cottini, who also saw his team win an event at John Paul II to start the season.

“The win I’m most

proud of came at the Lloydminster Holy Rosary tournament before that though. We went to the third set against a team from St. Paul [Alberta] and our girls showed a lot of heart to come back and win.”

The Vikings will be back in action this weekend for a tournament in Prince Albert as they prepare for the conference playoffs on Oct. 28 at John Paul II and the districts in Wilkie on Nov. 2.

“We are well aware that our defensive play and our blocking need to improve if we want to have a good finish to the year,” Cottini said.

The 2018 Winter Games Will need approximately 1200 volunteers over the week of the games and on October 12th at noon you can officially sign up to be one of them!

The 1200 games volunteers will do everything from greet the athletes, to help feed the athletes, scorekeep at events, assist with medical needs and the list goes on and on!

There will be jobs available for people of all ages and abilities so join us in making this the greatest games ever!

To learn more about the volunteer positions or to register (after noon on October 12th) visit: www.saskgames.ca/winter or call 306-446-4263.

Thank you to SaskEnergy for being the Champion of Volunteers!

The Barons started off their 2017-18 season over the Thanksgiving weekend with a pair of wild games. After dropping a 6-5 affair to the Beardy’s Blackhawks Saturday, the Barons roared back from a four-goal deficit to earn a 7-6 overtime win over the Stampeders a day later. Justin Menssa was the overtime hero in Sunday’s contest, which saw Chase Taggart score a pair of goals. Colby Friedrich had two goals and an assist to lead the way in Saturday’s setback. The Barons will travel on the road Saturday to play the Prince Albert Chill before a Sunday battle at the Civic Centre with the Saskatoon Sabrecats at 1:15 p.m. Photo by Lucas Punkari

minutes.

“I challenged the guys before the game and told them that I wanted them to feel what it was like to play against a really quality opponent for all four quarters. You never want to say that a loss is good, but we learned a lot of stuff tonight and we are much better football team as a result of this game.”

Vikings quarteback Damon Dutton turned in a dominating performance through the air, as he completed 15 of his 29 passes for 333 yards and four touchdowns.

Zac Wolfe had a pair of touchdown catches, while Presley Peterson and Rett Taggart also reached the end zones thanks to passes

by Dutton.

Peterson led all receivers with 146 yards on five catches.

Sports Reporter

Although the outcome wasn’t what they were hoping for, the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings showed that they could compete against one of the top football teams in the province.

In what was their first home game of the season at Beaver Lions Stadium, the Vikings went back and forth against the Holy Cross Crusaders before the holders of the last six Saskatoon 4A city championships picked up a 43-32 victory.

“I’m extremely proud of our guys efforts,” Vikings head coach Mike Humenny said. “It’s going to sound like a clichéd statement, but we truly went toe-to-toe with a very strong football team for 48

“It was the same things we’ve seen all season long as we had a number of guys make big plays,” Humenny said. “JT Lamb also had a good game on the ground tonight, as he was able to make some big runs.”

The Crusaders, who have a 5-0 record and are tied for first place in the Saskatoon Secondary Schools Athletic Directorate 4A standings with the Centennial Chargers, had a balanced offensive attack Friday.

Quarterback Matthew Wilson completed nine of 18 passes for 258 years and three touchdowns, while running back Tanner Szakacs as he sprinted for 85 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries.

“Holy Cross has an ability to make you pay at any point during the game on mistakes that you make,”

Humenny said. “They can throw the ball deep, pound it up the middle with their running backs and use big special teams plays to turn the tide.

“Even though we’re still banged up on defence with a few injuries, we had some flashes of brilliances in slowing them down.

Once we get everyone healthy, we should be firing on all cylinders going into the playoffs.”

The Vikings, who have a 3-2 record and are tied with the Bishop J Mahoney Saints for third place in the SSAD 3A standings, will be back at home Friday night for a 6:30 p.m. tilt with the St. Mary Marauders of Prince Albert.

The Marauders play in the 4A league are tied for fourth place with the St. Joseph Guardians with a 2-3 mark.

If a trail could tell tales

By Dorothy M. Mills Correspondent

Just a little followup on my recent article on the old Battleford-Saskatoon Trail. Since then I have been informed the old trail is no longer open to travellers. When the trail ends there is still an open road to go up into the Willowmoore area. There has been a barricade of steel posts, locked gates and beams built on each side in the ditch to completely shut the old trail down. The trail is not really used too much any more and costly to get it back the way it should be to travel on. It is so sad for the people who made many trips down the trail along the river to their favourite fishing

aljennie area to fish. Also so very unhandy for the cattle ranchers to get access to their summer pastures.

There are no other roads that lead off all along the closed trail. It will also be missed by the game hunters as there has always been plenty of all kinds of wild life along the trail to hunt in the hunting season. The trail is very old and first travelled back in 1749 when Henry Kelsey made his way up close to the North Saskatchewan River. Many more explorers followed as well as the Hudson’s Bay Company and many

fur trappers. It was also the route the Barr Colonists took in 1903. Traders and merchants, clergy, government labourers, police and civil servants, fighters, farmers and a newspaper man and their families travelled the five hundred odd miles from Winnipeg to Battleford by oxen cart, horse and buggy, dog sleds and even on foot on the old trail.

The fast flowing river was also used as transportation. They all had many hardships while travelling the trail. If it could only talk, it would tell of some very exciting happenings and tragedies as well. The old trail does have a lot of untold history. It is a good part of the history of western Canada’s beginning.

Our weather has cer-

tainly changed into the feel of winter not too far away. There have been a few more rain showers and the odd snow flakes one evening. It has left a few local farmers trying to get their crops all off and into the grain bins.

A few nice warmer sunny days would be good to get.

We hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving day. It’s a day we are all thankful for. Use your greatest voice at home.

Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the last pearl hid in the sea.

A kind voice is joy like a folk song to a hearth at home. Train it to sweet tunes now and it will keep in tune all through life.

your kidney is very important to your everyday health. If they don’t function properly, your body becomes weak, leaving you vulnerable to disease. The kidneys should be flushed out on a regular basis. Wholy Tea is designed to flush the body of toxins.

Wholy Tea is easy to make.

Two tea bags will make 4L. It will last one person one week. Bring 4L of water to a full boil, turn off the stove, put two tea bags in the water and cover. Let this steep for 8 hours. This brings the herbs to full potency. Refrigerate to drink.

Drink two - 250 ml and one - 125 ml glasses per day.

Wholy Tea may aid with • Lower cholesterol • Acid reflux relief • Weight loss • Heavy metal detox • Lower blood pressure • Improve digestion • Improved skin conditions • Constipation and bloating Always check with your health care professional before starting any supplement program.

and continued, you will have more energy, an increased feeling of over-all wellness and a lower risk of illness.

The liver is the largest organ in your body and is responsible for neutralizing and removing harmful substances and toxins from the blood. Overloading the liver with toxins can cause ill effects on your health.

A sluggish liver can lead to serious fatigue, weight gain, water retention and cholesterol plaque buildup. Wholy Tea will target the liver and can remove unwanted toxins and enable the liver to function properly. A healthy liver increases energy, improves metabolism, and helps you burn excess fat.

The kidney function also includes the elimination of toxins, regulating blood pressure and help with the urinary system.

Kidney problems are becoming more common, mostly due to the consumption of overly processed foods. The kidneys filter our blood of toxins by producing urine. Just like the colon and liver,

he human body is able to naturally expel unwanted materials on its own but because of our fast and busy lifestyles our bodies are exposed to chemicals and toxins that cause an unhealthy build up in the digestive organs.

The colon is susceptible to continual build-up of toxic material found in the foods that we eat.

Many processed foods such as pasteurized milk, processed flour and sugar, as well as foods packed with preservatives contain toxic elements that slowly build up in the intestine. This slow build-up of toxins causes a hardening impact film to form in the intestines decreasing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, lowers metabolism rates and causes unhealthy weight gain.

When the body cannot absorb the positive elements of food properly, energy levels are lowered and the risk of serious illness is dramatically increased. Wholy Tea targets the toxic build-up in the intestine, breaking it up and flushing it from the colon. Once the detoxification process is started

Borden Lions Scholarship 2017-2018: A scholarship of $500 will once again be made possible by the Borden Lions and the former Langham Lions.

Brown School, Langham, but exceptions may be made at the discretion of Borden Lions. Applicants must be in full-time post-secondary education (university, technical school or business college) for a minimum of two years and must have successfully completed at least one year of their postsecondary studies.

The Borden Flower Pot Beautification Project was very successful in 2017, providing a wonder-

orden Radisson ful red and white theme in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. This was made possible through the generous financial support of organizations and individuals in the village (for the purchase of plants, soil and fertilizer), and through the help of individuals who volunteered to water and care for the pots.

Radisson Royal Purple ladies met at the home of Tina Hessell for their Oct. 2 meeting. Plans were made for the annual Remembrance Day service on Nov. 11, when Rev. Sheldon Carr will officiate. With the Radisson Hall being closed temporarily, decisions have to be made where the service can be held if the hall is still closed. The lodge is selling Grey Cup Pool tickets for three for $5 with the draw date of Nov. 26 and the proceeds going to Brain Love (Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association).

Contact Lorraine Olinyk for tickets. Perfect attendance pins were presented

What’s the latest in breast cancer research?

Did you know that one in nine Canadian women are predisposed to developing breast cancer? Thankfully, researchers are always looking for new ways to help prevent, detect and treat this destructive disease. Every October, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) invites all Canadians, whether personally touched by the disease or not, to step forward and help raise funds and awareness in support of breast cancer research.

NEW METHODS OF DIAGNOSIS A key area of research looks at better ways to diagnose breast cancer. Currently, the most reliable method to detect the disease remains mammography screenings; however, the test is subject to certain limitations. Here are three noteworthy examples of groundbreaking alternatives: • Digital breast tomosynthesis detects cancer more easily in patients with dense breasts and helps radiologists see more clearly whether or not a suspicious area contains cancerous cells. This type of imaging

Professional Services Provided with Heart and Compassion P.O. Box 806 North Battleford, SK S9A 2Z3

306-446-4200

may help lower the number of false positive and false negative results sometimes produced by standard mammography testing.

• Radioactive seed localization helps doctors better target abnormal tissue in the breast that can’t be felt by hand. Radiologists implant the radioactive seeds in the area of concern during an X-ray or CT scan to effectively detect the presence of cancerous cells.

• Circulating tumour cells are found in the bloodstream of certain women diagnosed with breast cancer. Instead of directly targeting cancerous cells in the breast, doctors may perform a CellSearch circulating tumour cell (CTC) test to confirm a positive diagnosis.

Do you have a strong family history of breast cancer?

Have you previously received radiation treatment to the chest? Is your breast tissue denser than the average woman’s? Talk to your doctor about your personal risk of breast cancer and take advantage of screening tests available in your area.

How to communicate SOUND your emotional state CITY following a diagnosis People diagnosed with breast cancer often find it difficult to express how they’re feeling for several reasons: discomfort, fear of upsetting loved ones, anger, etc. However, keeping your emotions bottled up inside consumes a great deal of energy that would be better used to fight the illness. Sharing your feelings could help you manage stress and provide you comfort in a time of need. Therefore, whenever you’re ready: • Talk to someone with whom you feel comfortable. If it’s too difficult to speak to a loved one about your diagnosis, consider joining a support group.

• Don’t be afraid to cry or experience intense emotions like anger. Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to feel following a cancer diagnosis.

• Try to describe how you’re feeling in simple terms to fa c ilitate the conversation and allow the person you’re communicating with to better understand your mindset. If you’re having trouble formulating what you’re feeling, just say so.

• Don’t fear silence — it’s actually an effective coping me chanism. And if you’re usually one for jokes, don’t hesitate to use humour to help dissolve tensions when confronting difficult situations.

Is talking about your diagnosis too painful? Writing (emails, poems, etc.) and making art (sculpting, painting, etc.) are equally constructive when it comes to self-expression. Lastly, if you’re tired of constantly having to repeat yourself, ask someone to be your spokesperson and deliver personal messages or status updates about your condition on your behalf.

Medstead School boots up new website

By Corrina Murdoch Correspondent

In a village as quaint and peaceful as Medstead, with socioeconomics of the local area being prevalently agricultural and farmfocused, it is easy to lose sight of how fast paced and industrialized surrounding places have truly become.

The community is reminiscent of a time where everyone had a landline, neighbours stopped over to visit, and children played board games and spent most of their time outdoors. However, the world as a whole has changed. Information is accessed digitally; instead of waiting for someone to be at home to speak to them, people are accessible with the push of a button. Children can instant message one another while playing together online in lieu of real face time, a name which has been glob-

edstead News ally colloquialized into the antithesis of its own concept.

Keeping astride of these changes Medstead Central School stayed up to date with its new website. In so doing it once again lived up to its motto, “Through a quality education program Medstead central school strives to develop knowledgeable, confident and skilled individuals, who will make positive contributions to their communities and country.” This site provides digital access to all matters related to the school. This is especially helpful for parents who live out of town or are always on the go.

The website features

the archived messages sent home, along with up to date information relating to early dismissals, PD days, the ever popular Food Fridays and the well liked bi-weekly fundraiser, popcorn Tuesday and Thursday.

Sports and drama, two of the school’s biggest prides, each have their own sections. It is in these areas of the website that parents and school supporters can follow along with the achievements of the Medstead Mustangs. Last year saw a proud sequence of sporting successes, including, but not exclusive to, triumphs in volleyball and track and field. Drama, being another creative outlet popularly used by Medstead students and staff, saw its fair share of awards over the course of the school year just past.

Medstead School Library has its own dedi-

cated section, presently focused on the magazine fundraiser. Additionally, it features access to a plethora of books digitally, bringing closer information with its gain being as simple as a touch of a finger. Information pertaining to staff and to Student Leadership also have their own parts of the page.

The gallery is still in a beta phase, with limited photographic content. The section currently displays seven ‘tester’ photographs, representing a cross section of numerous parts of the school. At the commencement of registration with the school, parents sign a consent form for their children’s photograph to be used both in paper and digitally. This waiver continues every school year unless otherwise revoked, and will undoubtedly add color and a platform for

Do Drop In dessert and coffee event attracts 60

By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

Fall weather continues to cool down and, though harvest is nearly completed in this area, there are many areas that are not nearly finished. We just hope that the skies stay clear and the sun shines for these folk’s crops that are still out in the field.

Corrections to the monthly newsletter, first the Wellness Clinic is on Oct. 19, and the Shuffleboard Tournament is on Oct. 14.

The second annual Dine and Dance is being held in Edam on Oct. 14. Cocktails at 5:30 p.m., supper at 6, sponsored by the Edam Rink Board.

The Dessert and Coffee held at the Do Drop In on Oct. 4 was a success with about 60 folks enjoying their treats and visiting with their many friends.

Pearl Hawkins and Arie Breeschoten came from Saskatoon and others came from Edam and North Bat-

eota News tleford and surrounding areas The next seniors’ meeting is Oct. 13 followed by a potluck lunch at the Do Drop In. Come with new ideas and join in the activities.

There were two pairs of whooping cranes visiting the area south of Chitek Lake again this fall. They make quite a regular stop in that area, though not always in exactly the same spot.

Linda Ard accompanied Barbara Johnson from Edam to an SSAI meeting in Saskatoon, Oct. 2.

Canasta was played Friday afternoon at the Do Drop In with three tables in play. To avoid having to drive at night, the time has changed to 1:30 p.m. every second Friday for the winter months. The top score this time went to Bev

McCrimmon and Arlene Walker for first, then Barbara Soloninko and Lorna Pearson second and third were Shirley Tebay and Charles Walker.

Duplicate bridge Oct. 3 in Meota saw top marks to Vern Iverson and David Sharpe, second high were Eric Callbeck and David Creegan and third were Maureen Campbell and Margaret Dyck. Duplicate bridge in the city at the Pioneer Hall Oct. 5 saw top score by Vern Iverson and David Sharpe, second high were Lucille and Bernard Gregoire and third were Jean Lawes and Fraser Glen.

It was nice having Greg Lambert for a couple days, here from Fort McMurray to help his dad with his building project.

There are two new cabins going up in Lakeview where the two old ones were removed recently. They are taking shape quickly and most interesting to watch.

The ‘limb chopper’ machine was in the village

last week chopping up tree branches as a tree was being removed along Beach Avenue.

A new version of cremation has come forward, rather than having the ashes put into a concrete vault, you can buy a bio-degradable urn, with a tree seed in it that will grow once it’s planted – so a tree will grow from your ashes and you will leave the world a greener place. Sounds too good to be true, but one can always hope that’s the coming trend.

The Meota Hobby Band is back entertaining and played at Harwood Manor on Oct. 3 to the delight of everyone who attended in

the “big room.”

The bright moonlight nights this week have been outstanding, but we ended up with some rain on the weekend. The fall suppers are coming and Meota will be holding theirs on Oct. 15, so see you there.

Linda Ard of Meota flew from Saskatoon to Hamilton, Ont., on Sept.

19 to spend some time with her late husband Walter’s surviving relatives, nieces and nephews. They held a memorial service in Bloomsbury on Sept.23.

Also present at the service was Rev. Malcolm Muth, who co-officiated at Linda and Walter’s wedding over 40 years ago. He sends

Better Plan

his regards to any who remember him and his late wife Marie and their family. Malcolm was a mission minister serving northern Saskatchewan from his home in North Battleford, where they raised their family before moving to Ontario. Suzanne, Walter’s niece who came to Walter’s service here, is not in the picture, but Linda is near the right side, in the second row. It was a nice gathering of relatives who don’t get together that often.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving weekend, visiting family and having a feast. Good thing we don’t eat like that all the time.

Regional Optimist

www.newsoptimist.ca

When your good choice turns bad, don’t blame me “You have no one to blame but yourself, so suck it up,” is a favourite saying of Ed, my old neighbour from Saskatchewan.

Behind his, “serves you right attitude,” is a big heart ready to help when things turn complicated, and others are stopped in plans that will not work.

Ed is off for a week helping his family in Edmonton.

There, he is a welcome chauffer, babysitter, and the grease to get his family through work and school schedules that would not function without his outside help.

Babysitting is no challenge for Ed as his grandkids never know what he will do next as

their babysitter, and they also know about a week is enough for them. Then they need a rest!

Hearing about Ed in Edmonton made me think of a story by Andrew Greeley which is a favorite of mine.

He tells of two neighborhood babysitters who were sisters.

One evening the new couple on the block hired the younger sister to babysit their children. They returned to find the house a mess, with the babysitter half asleep on the couch.

The next morning their children were excited to tell their parents how the sitter had played with them, told them stories, run races with them, and helped them say their

eighbourly Advice According to Ed

By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca prayers before bed.

Still, the parents decided they would try the other sister next time because the younger sister left the house messy.

The next time they went out they hired the older sister.

When they returned home the house was neat and orderly, and the children asleep, and the

babysitter was at the table studying.

She reported that the children had been angels and there were no problems.

They were pleased and gave her an extra tip. T he next morning their children complained that the babysitter had yelled at them using swear words, made them play outside

after dark while she talked to her boyfriend on the phone, made them go to bed early, and then went outside and smoked and talked with some friends.

Even the choice of hiring babysitters can be complicated.

The parents were responsible for their choice of babysitter.

How important was a messy or tidy house in the care of their children?

How important is it for Christians to remember we cannot see the whole truth about others but God sees the whole truth about each of us?

In the Old Testament, Ezekiel makes it clear that the people were saying that God was not just, in that, God was punishing

them for the sins of those who went before them.

God made it clear through his prophet that God deals with each person individually.

God said, “All souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.”

Nothing is hidden with God who sees if a righteous person turns and does evil. God also sees when a wicked person turns from doing wrong to doing right. God judges justly and would have all people turn and take responsibility for themselves alone. God has no pleasure in the death of anyone.

His will is that we would choose to turn to him daily in repentance and live.
