Inthenews Olympic Games medal winner

visits Keeseekoose First Nation

New and used trading post store opens on Kamsack main street » Page 3

A Cote First Nation athlete who had millions of pairs of eyes watching her every move during the PyeongChang Olympics in February paid a visit to Keeseekoose First Nation last week.

Wearing the No. 4 on her jersey, and playing defence for Team Canada, Brigette Lacquette arrived at her home in Dauphin, Man. from the 2018 Olympic Games with a silver medal.

On March 26, Lacquette attended a meet-and-greet event at the Keeseekoose Chiefs Education Centre (KCEC) to show off that medal.

A crowd of over 100 fans were on hand to welcome Lacquette, get her autograph and pose for photos with the star hockey player, as well as to draw inspiration from her accomplishments.

There were young fans like Tyra Keshane, who had

recently finished her second year as a peewee with the Kamsack Flyers, and who was thrilled to meet her hero, Lacquette, and receive an autograph.

The evening began with Senator Ted Quewezance of the Keeseekoose First Nation acting as emcee.

During his opening remarks, Quewezance mentioned a brief history of Lacquette’s family that is associated with Keeseekoose.

Her great-great-grandfather, Louis Quewezance (a former chief) was the manager of the St. Philips Rangers in the 1930s, and her greatgrandfather, John Thomas Quewezance, was an original member of the St. Philips Ranger team which played at many places in Saskatchewan.

“I am sure it was Louis Quewezance’s dream to have his sons play in the NHL and be successful,”

Quewezance said. “After four generations his dream became a reality when his great-great-granddaughter

was chosen to play for Team Canada in the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.”

During an event to meet and greet Olympic hockey player and silver medal winner Brigette Lacquette, two young fans showed obvious delight when they had their photo taken with the star athlete: Cameron Shingoose, left, and Jaden Shingoose, relaxed in Lacquette’s arms and holding the Olympic medal.

First aboriginal woman to play professional hockey Continued from Front Page he said.

“Dreams can come true with determination, hard work and support of family,” he said. “She made history by becoming the first aboriginal woman to play professional hockey.”

Quewezance then called upon Lacquette to say a few words to the crowd, and she began by thanking everyone for being there.

Lacquette noted that the full realization of what an impact she has had on so many youth across Canada had become apparent after being part of the Olympics, and then having the opportunity to visit so many smaller

communities across Canada had given her an insight into her function as a role model.

“I just want to be the best person, the best hockey player possible to show you guys that you can do it too, and it doesn’t matter where you come from,” she told the audience. “All of the obstacles that I have had to face have definitely been worth it to be awarded a silver medal at the Olympics.”

“I just want to say you can achieve anything through hard work and dedication.”

Grace was said by Louise Lulashnyk on behalf of her father, Bill Keshane Sr.,

91, one of the original St. Philips Ranger players in the 1947-48 season.

After a buffet-style s u p p e r, C h i e f C a l v i n Straightnose welcomed Lacquette to Keeseekoose First Nation.

“It’s an honour to have such an athlete come to Keeseekoose First Nation.

Bridgette Lacquette shows the determination of First Nation people; people who can do anything if they set their mind to it,” he said.

“It’s nice to see so many have come out this evening to meet this accomplished athlete whom so many had the chance to watch on TV during the PyeongChang

Thank you all very much for coming.”

Poised and self-confident, Lacquette obliged her fans and posed for numerous photos, as well as signed a selection of fan memorabilia.

“All in event services” of Regina was on hand to take fan photos and print them almost immediately to provide a souvenir of the occasion.

Quewezance then announced that there would be some presentations made to Lacquette, on behalf of Keeseekoose First Nation.

“Brigette, I want to tell

you something, from the bottom of our hearts; you have made us very proud.”

Chief Straightnose and council members then made several presentations to Lacquette. A pair of beaded earrings was presented by Cuthbert Keshane, a jacket

by Henry Keshane and a framed photograph of her great-great-grandfather and great-grandfather, both of whom had strong ties to the game of hockey, by Chief Straightnose and Ralph Straightnose.

It was announced, with regrets that invited guest Fred Sasakamoose of the Ahtahkakoop Band of the Cree Nations, the first

aboriginal man to play professional hockey in the National Hockey League (NHL) where he played with the Chicago Blackhawks, was unable to attend the event.

“I am very proud of her and happy that she made it this far,” said Anne Bryant of Cote First Nation who is Lacquette’s grandmother.

A large cake displaying a reproduced photo of Lacquette was then cut and served.

Before leaving, Lacquette said she would be returning to the area to do a similar meet-and-greet event at the Cote First Nation on May 11.

Three young fans signed a souvenir autograph board to be presented to Lacquette after a meet-and-greet dinner held at KCEC on March 26. From left, were: Promise Belanger, Shanti Keshane and Bernice Keshane.

New business opens on main street in Kamsack A couple who has recently made Kamsack their home has opened the doors to a new business on Kamsack’s main street in what is still remembered by many as the “former SaskPower building.”

AJ’s Trading Post, operated by Anne McKenzie and James Keshane, held its opening day on March 17 when they provided coffee, juice, doughnuts and popcorn at no charge.

“Our first day was better than I expected.

A lot of people stopped in to look around,” said McKenzie.

“We have a good inventory on hand.

We purchased about 80 per cent of Eugene Tataryn’s inventory, and on opening day he came into the store and bought back some things,” said Keshane with a chuckle, making reference to the man who had previously operated a business known as Penny’s Liquidation for over two years in the same spot, but closed his doors recently.

“Karla’s Auction House of Springside was also a good source for much of our inventory,” he said.

The couple moved to the area in July of 2017, when Anne was employed by H and M Management and began working at the Keeseekoose Store, which is a gas station/ convenience store. That arrangement ended, and beause the couple both liked the area so much they decided to stay in Kamsack and open their own business.

Keshane is originally from Keeseekoose First Nation and McKenzie is from LaRonge.

They now live in Kamsack and have four

children.

The couple’s three-year-old daughter, Annika Jocelyn, is the inspiration for the initials in the name AJ’s Trading Post, even though, coincidentally Anne and James are also AJ. Their three other children are Naomi, 18; Boyce, 15 and Ron, 10.

For the couple, starting and operating a business in Kamsack has been a positive experience.

“When we started looking for a location for our business we had lots of help from others in town to find a location to set up,” said McKenzie.

“Initially we wanted the business to be a pawn shop, but we encountered issues. We are continuing to work out these issues and will hopefully be running as a pawn shop in six months.”

Right now the store is stocked with both new and used items for sale.

“We spent three weeks getting everything ready and setting up our displays after Penny’s closed down. We purchased some of our display cabinets from Yorkton and some from Saskatoon,” said Keshane, gazing at the neatly arranged rows of items on display throughout the store.

“There haven’t been any major challenges associated with setting up the store, but I had to make some compromises with Anne when it came to finding a place for things in the store. Anne usually gets her way,” he said with a smile.

The business will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays.

James Keshane, holding three-year old daughter Annika Jocelyn, and Anne McKenzie of Kamsack recently opened AJ’s Trading Post in the former location of Penny’s Liquidation in what is still known as the former SaskPower building on main street. The store currently features new and used items and collectibles for sale, and may soon operate as a pawn shop.

Opening day at AJ’s Trading Post on main street in Kamsack was a success, according to business owners Anne McKenzie and James Keshane. People stopped in to browse, buy and enjoy coffee and doughnuts.

Eugene Tataryn, who operated Penny’s Liquidation for over two years in the main street location now occupied by AJ’s Trading Post, stopped in on opening day, March 17, and ended up purchasing back some inventory which he had recently sold to the new business owners.

LOOKING BACK...

A Decade Ago

The KamKids Daycare located at Crowstand Centre in Kamsack was having a grand opening on April 7. The public was invited to attend a ribboncutting ceremony, and Mayor Darryl Binkley cut the ribbon. Hired to work at the daycare were: Gloria Roebuck, a cook; Deb Cuervo, the director, and Donna Wozniak, the supervisor. ***** Clint Chernoff, president of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, Kamsack branch, said that the fall of 2007 was a good one for Kamsack hunters when he delivered his message to the members at the annual awards banquet. ***** Nursing student Sabrina Kyryluk, who had been completing her education at the Kamsack Hospital, decided to move to the community to work as a licensed graduate nurse on staff. ***** March was Nutrition Month and Rachel Nussbaumer, the dietician for the northern portion of the Sunrise Health Region, conducted nutrition awareness sessions at Veregin, Togo and Kamsack, according to Susan Leis of the health region’s community services office in Kamsack. ***** The members of the Hiawatha chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in Kamsack, who for the past 20 years have sold, ordered, re-packaged and delivered bunches of daffodils to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, had 3,500 blooms for sale.

Dino eggs to be found at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum this week The Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) announced last week that free WiFi will be available throughout the building starting in April and, with Easter break happening, a great lineup of family-friendly activities is planned throughout the week and month.

School’s out from March 30 until April 8 and Megamunch’s Dino Egg Hunt is back for a third year, said a release from Parks, Culture and Sport. The popular activity challenges guests to search for “dino eggs” hidden throughout the galleries, record the letter from each egg and unscramble a puzzle to win a prize.

“Throughout the break, come check out different egg types in the lobby display or visit the Paleo Pit featuring a colouring table, climbing structure and discovery wall, open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said the release.

“Once again, the staff at the RSM have organized an educational and entertaining visit for guests of all ages,” said Gene Makowsky, Parks, Culture and Sport

Minster. “The RSM strives to offer unique experiences through new and innovative programming, services and exhibits and this spring they continue that trend.

“I hope citizens soon take the opportunity to visit the museum to spend quality time with friends and family, and to learn more about our great province.”

Until April 16, visit 150 for 150, the RSM’s most recent temporary exhibit. This is the last chance to see 150 rarely seen artifacts from the provincial natural history and fossil collections. April also brings Earth Day and Museum Week.

On April 22, guests can celebrate with Earth Day Storytime and drop-in activities. Storytime will feature Mary McKenna Siddals’s book Compost Stew. Visitors taking part in drop-in activities will discover how people are being inspired by nature to find new and exciting ways to do things for Earth.

Follow the RSM on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for #MuseumWeek from April 23-29. It will be seven

days, seven themes and seven hashtags.

“The week showcases how culture, art, science and education play a vital role in the development of our societies and features themes including women, heritage, kids and nature,” it said. The new season of fun doesn’t end in April.

Guests have much to look forward to with the next temporary exhibit, ZOOM, opening May 17. ZOOM will allow visitors to take a really close look at some of the most common and ignored creatures in nature using cutting edge imaging systems.

“Nine interactive stations will show bugs, skulls and feathers in a world that you have never imagined was all around you,” it said. The exhibit will also highlight some of the internationally-recognized research happening right at the RSM. The RSM, located at 2445 Albert Street, is open daily. Visit www.royalsaskmuseum.ca or call 306-7872815. Admission is by donation.

Letters to the Editor

Elizabeth May in jail for her beliefs?

I stand with Elizabeth May. She is one of only two MPs with the backbone to face arrest in order to stand up for sustainability of life on Earth now and for our future generations.

Kinder and his buddy Morgan are Texas tycoons and not very nice people.

They were executives of Enron who (if you remember) cost their investors $60 billion. They don’t give a sh*t about spilling oil anywhere on the west coast or if it dribbles out of tankers all the way across the Pacific.

Cameco, the former crown corporation that runs the university in Saskatoon, owes billions to Canadians in taxes because their profits go offshore. Many of these potash giants have terrible environmental and human rights reputations, just as many huge corporations and their top executives have horrible histories with next to nothing for repercussions, cleanup or restoration to compensate for their devastating activities.

These are international corporations in a world market Mecca of free trade zones they created for

themselves. They pick and chose governments based on what they can get out of them.

Ask yourself how can these companies dodge environmental responsibilities, dump the liabilities back on the taxpayers and yet maintain such huge support from Liberals and Conservatives?

Our governments are in their pockets, so it’s pretty hard to be subjective when you’re on the payroll.

Science, bribery, chemicals, genetic engineering or hollow election promises cannot fix this.

This system is not working for the people or any other life form that exists on the planet. Increasing numbers are becoming either military or climate refugees, more and more people are sleeping on the streets and falling through the yawning cracks, like being massacred in the public schools, finding war invading their own homes or unable to get basic medical care for the sick, elderly or displaced.

We are vulnerable to forces we feel we cannot resist because of the endless drum beat that

the economy, wealth and profits are the answer to everything. What about the Earth’s ability to provide the necessities of life? What about freedom from debt slavery and our shrinking ability to feed our families healthy food?

Why are we bending over backwards to get these corporations into our country? In Saskatchewan the fresh water now goes t o i n d u s t r y. T h e n e w l y minted Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (SWSA) now issues water rights licences. That is the right to our fresh water that

supersedes human rights to that same limited water.

Brad Wall did that in a little slight of hand when he changed the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority to the SWSA. We need conscientious, patriotic, courageous leadership with vision and we only have a hugely flawed democratic system to get us there.

We n e e d w a y m o r e Elizabeth Mays spread across the country and the world in every aspect of governance.

Greg Chatterson Fort San

The Easter message does not end with the resurrection

By Rev. Nancy Brunt Holy Trinity Anglican Church When the dust settles after Easter, many return to their daily routine and leave Christianity aside. A new command Jesus said I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this will all people know that you are my followers, if you

love one another.” (John 13:31-35) So, what are we to do after the hype of Easter is over? Do we just go about doing the same things that we have been doing up to Easter? Or does the experience of Easter change us and shape our living, or does it at least refresh our standing commitment to our faith?

The Easter message of hope and love needs to prevail and continue long after we celebrate Easter.

The message of working for social justice and equality needs to be proclaimed and lived. Long after the coloured eggs are eaten, and the Easter bonnets stored away, the message remains that, as followers of Jesus, we are freed to work for

liberation and freedom, do justice and seek peace and wholeness in His name.

Our land needs a revival of the heart desperately; it needs to embrace the Prince of Peace, not the dogs of wars. There has been a coarsening of our culture in my lifetime. We have become a less civil, a less civilized, a less Christian nation in my lifetime. Indeed, we

have even become a nation that wants not merely a separation of church and state, but a separation of God from country! We can’t go around measuring our goodness by what we don’t do… by what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude…we’ve got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create… and who we include.

The Easter message does not end with the resurrection, but continues on as His followers, as we, live with the hope found in the message and life of Jesus. The message that lingers long after Easter is that we are called and invited to follow Jesus. We are freed to live the life of hope. May we do so the day after Easter and every day.

The ongoing issues surrounding prairie grain handling In agriculture issues tend to reoccur, many key ones never seeming to come to an end.

The issue of grain handling is certainly one that pops up over and over, with plenty of finger pointing in terms of who is to blame.

Depending on one’s view of the problem, the solutions offered can be widely different.

But in the end nothing that has been done has seemed to solve the problem, so once more some prairie farmers cannot ship grain.

And while those farmers struggle with the inability to get their grain to market, who to blame becomes once again an overriding question.

There are really only two players at which to point the blame. There are the grain companies and there are the rail lines.

Grain companies naturally blame the railways for not getting the grain to port.

The grain companies are suggesting grain is not getting to port because the railways are not supplying rail cars that have been ordered.

That is not a new lament. Rail companies have been accused before of opting to haul other commodities, potash and oil as example, before grain, because they

generate greater returns with those products than they do moving farmers’ grain.

But that may not be the case this time around.

The Canadian Transportation Agency audits the railways and looks at how much export grain moves annually. As of December 31, 2017, it reported railways moved 43.2 million tonnes of grain to port, up 6.9 per cent compared to 2016.

But the issue of grain getting to market too slowly persists.

There are now more people pointing a finger at the grain companies, suggesting they use the supposed rail car shortages as a way to offer farmers lower prices, which of course would push up their returns.

There are those who use the issue to lament the loss of the Canadian Wheat Board. That card is long out of the deck, but the CWB did provide an over-guiding hand that was supposed to ensure the overall system returned the maximum amount of money to farmers by organizing grain shipments to maximize the shipping capacity of the overall system.

Without a single entity in control, players within the system have the potential to point fingers at one another, to their own benefit, with farmers left holding the bag.

And the issue of course gets kicked to the federal government to play referee through legislation. That avenue has been gone down before. The feds offer up a hammer through legislation that works for a while until someone figures out how to slip through a loophole.

The latest effort by the federal government is new transportation legislation, claiming that Bill C-49 will offer a mechanism to punish the railways for neglecting grain shipments.

The likelihood of Bill C-49 accomplishing longterm, stable transportation of grain is sadly slight, and farmers will still be left dealing with at least intermittent grain delivery issues.

Annual ban on elm trees is from April 1 to August 31 The annual ban on pruning elm trees in Saskatchewan begins April 1 and continues until August 31. This is when the elm bark beetles that spread Dutch elm disease (DED) are most active. Fresh cuts from pruning can attract the insects, increasing the

chance of a DED infection.

“Prune your elms before or after the ban period to keep them healthy and more resistant to all diseases, including DED,” said a release from the Ministry of Environment.

“Removing dead and dying elm wood also means fewer

sites for beetles to breed, and fewer beetles.

“Remove and dispose of DED-infected elms promptly throughout the year, including during the ban period.”

Because of the danger of spreading DED, it is illegal to use, transport, store or sell

elm firewood, the release said. The use, transport, storage and sale of elm logs are also restricted.

“Dispose of elm wood promptly; check with your municipal authority for preferred disposal methods and locations.

“If you decide to hire someone to prune your trees, check his or her qualifications. By law, commercial pruners of elm trees in Saskatchewan must complete a recognized training program or be under the supervision of someone who

has.

“Pruning improperly can spread DED and other tree diseases.”

For more information, one may call one’s local municipality or the Ministry of Environment at 1-800-567-4224.

Kamsack woman’s story published in collection of stories of women who rose against odds A story by a Kamsack woman is included in a recentlypublished book of “stories from 30 magnificent women who have risen against the odds.”

Karry Ann Nunn wrote The View from the Top, a 3,000word story that is one of 30 stories in the 373-page book called Simply…Woman, which was compiled by Crystal Andrus Morissette, “an international bestselling author featured on Oprah.com.”

The book was published in Canada by Simply…Woman publishing, a division of Andrus Morissette Productions of Uxbridge, Ont. It was released on March 8 which was International Women’s Day. Speaking to the Times last week about the book, Nunn said that she had been studying women empowerment coaching at Simply Woman Accredited Training when she had learned of a call that Morissette had issued, requesting women to share their stories.

“Women are finding their voices and are discovering that they are not alone,” Nunn said. “In sharing our stories we start to heal.”

Nunn is a master empowerment coach “who helps women find their voices and live their truth,” says a brief biography that introduces her story. “After working in libraries across Canada, she has finally fulfilled her dream of having her name on a book on the library shelf.

“Karry Ann keeps it real by spending long days enjoying her animals on her gorgeous farm,” the biography says. Her biggest accomplishment is raising four wonderful children whom she is so proud of. She lives with her partner and two dogs.

“I always wanted to write,” she said, explaining that she has worked at libraries and several years ago contributed stories to the Times. “Books are my thing.”

“People have always said that I’m really good with words.

Words are my art.”

When invited to contribute to the book, Nunn said that she asked herself what story she had.

“You definitely have a story,” Morissette told her.

“I guess my story is every woman’s story,” Nunn said, adding that it deals with a date rape that occurred 40 years ago and the effects of a religious upbringing on her following such a situation.

After reading her story, one woman thanked Nunn saying that the story was exactly what she had gone through and appreciated knowing that she was not the only one. She thanked Nunn for having had the courage to share the story.

“Women have been coming up to me to share their stories,” she said. “The key is that as we share, we learn we are not alone and we start to heal.

“I would say that most women have had to deal with and put up with situations like I’ve experienced,” she said. “Today,

HEARING CLINIC R.M. OF KEYS #303 RATEPAYERS What animal found on the farm is loud enough to damage your hearing? Are earmuffs more effective than earplugs? Do you know how to prevent noise-induced hearing loss? Do you have hearing loss? What type of hearing protection should I use?

To offer answers to those questions and much more information, appointments can be made for a Hearing Clinic for Farmers which is being held for the ratepayers of the R.M. of Keys #303 on Monday, April 16th, 2018 from 9:00am - 4:00pm at the RM office in Canora, SK. To book an appointment please call (306) 563-5331.

The clinic will include a visual inspection of the ear canal and ear drum and a hearing screening with explanation of those results.

Hearing aids are not sold at the clinic.

“On the farm, there are many noises including those from augers, tractors, shotguns and squealing hogs at feeding time that can damage your hearing”, says Kendra Ulmer, Nurse and Clinic Coordinator for the Agricultural Health and Safety Network, at the Canadian Centre For Health and Safety in Agriculture, University of Saskatchewan.

The clinic is being offered to RM #303 ratepayers because they are members of the Agricultural Health and Safety Network and is co-sponsored by the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture and Saskatchewan Agriculture.

we’re realizing that we don’t have to put up with that. Women are ‘owning it’ and are getting to know that we have a voice.”

Of the 30 women’s stories in the book, Nunn estimates that about half are Canadian, while the rest are from points all around the globe and they deal with a variety of concerns, including health and relationship issues. The writers are of all ages; some are previously published authors, others are not.

One story deals with a mother who donates her liver to her daughter, another is the story of a woman who had been kidnapped, she said. Some stories captivate and are deep, others are light and humorous.

“Powerful beyond measure; a must-read,” said Colette Baron-Reid of The Oracle.

“It’s a critical time in the world’s history, especially for women,” says the description on the book’s back cover. “We are being called upon like never before to stand up, come together and rewrite our futures; to remember where we’ve been, how we got here and what we want moving forward.

“Simply…Woman: Stories from 30 magnificent women who have risen against the odds, is a powerfully moving compilation of women’s experiences from all over the globe,” it says.

“Each story uncovers a different journey from pain and suffering to wisdom and truth.

“Let these brave women speak to you, enlighten and inspire you, evoke you,” it says. “Sharing is how we will forge our legacy, create a better future, heal the world…one strong

Karry Ann Nunn of Kamsack is one of 30 women who has contributed a story for Simply---Woman, a collection of stories of women who have risen against the odds. woman at a time.”

Nunn, who said that with her story now published, she sees it like a key that has been turned and she knows she is going through the door, continuing to write.

Nunn plans to read excerpts from the book at the Kamsack Library on April 13.

Copies of Simply…Woman may be purchased at a couple Kamsack stores, including Pheobe’s Beauty Parlour and Buck’s Dollar Store and may be obtained at karryann.com.

This is the front cover of the book Simply…Woman, a collection of stories of 30 women, including Karry Ann Nunn of Kamsack.

Kamsack artist’s work included in Regina art gallery exhibit A former Kamsack resident is one of 10 graduating students of the University of Regina’s faculty of fine arts who had a show at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina March 17 to April 1.

Two pieces of the work of Daniel Hilderman, a graduate of the Kamsack Comprehensive Institute in 2013, are included in the exhibition entitled X (Roman numeral for 10).

The son of Claire Bishop of Kamsack and Jeff Hilderman of Estevan, Daniel works in multimedia, using printmaking, drawing, painting and sculpture, says the artist’s biography included in the brochure accompanying the exhibit.

“He combines the fantastical realms of childhood with satire to examine social culture,” the biography says. “Daniel explores absurdities with his content in order to relax viewers’ interactions with fine art.”

“As long as I’m making art, I won’t conform to any sort of established boundaries,” he said.

Hilderman’s works are creations that explore the fantastical and potentially monstrous in contemporary figuration and, on some level, are stand-ins for self or an internal state of being, the biography says. In part, these can be understood as manifestations of social alienation and social critique.

“Hilderman reinforces this aspect formally, through vignettes that create pictorial spaces for these figures to exist within; initiating metaphoric, internal spaces, also interpreted as mindscapes.”

Although Hilderman initially enrolled in engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, he later switched to fine arts at Regina.

“He says he wants to continue working in fine

arts,” his mother said last week.

Among family members to see the exhibit in Regina were his grandparents, Sally and Dr. Michael Bishop.

“As students of studio art, these scholars have been focused on the monastic preparation of their work, encompassing the visual interpretation of a multiplicity of reflections on a given issue,” Zachari Logan, an instructor, said in the curatorial statement included in the exhibition’s pamphlet.

All works in this exhibition are linked by issues of identity and representations of a self-reflexive nature.

Ti m e l y p e r s p e c t i v e s on gender, mental health, colonialism, the passage of time and the perception of self are explored in challenging and inventive ways, displaying the rigor of intellectual praxis with materials.

Norquay Knights senior boys basketball team wins bronze at HOOPLA The Norquay Knights senior boys basketball team won the bronze medal at HOOPLA in Prince Albert March 21 to 23.

Winning in HOOPLA, which is the provincial basketball championships, means that the Knights are the third-best 3A senior boys basketball team in the province.

At Prince Albert, the Knights first lost a game to Birch Hills, 89-63, and then defeated Clavet 75-55 to win the bronze medal.

The third event final was a battle between skip Jennifer Koroluk and 2017 bonspiel champion Glen Becenko. Koroluk, assisted by her father Jack Erhardt, husband Jody Koroluk and daughter Chloe Koroluk, made her final shot for the victory.

The 2018 annual Kamsack Mixed Bonspiel featured three events

Curlers played six-end games. If the score was tied after six ends, each team threw one rock t o d e c i d e t h e g a m e ’s outcome.

Along with the fun and excitement of playing the roaring game, the 100 curlers from Kamsack, Roblin, Saskatoon, Togo, Pelly, Arran, Madge Lake and elsewhere enjoyed a fine Saturday evening banquet prepared by the Iron Grill.

In their first game, the Flyers defeated Canora, and then lost a close game to The Pas. In their final game, the Flyers lost to Swan Valley.

In the skills competition, Robbie Grieve of

Kamsack won the title of most accurate shooter, while Linden Roebuck of Canora was the most accurate passer, and Austin Gibbs of The Pas, the fastest skater.

In the team-againstteam tug of war competition, it ended up that the team from The Pas was the strongest team.

“It was lots of fun,” said Shanley Allard, a

parent of a Kamsack player.

OBITUARIES

COMING EVENTS

With great sadness, the family of Bernard "Bernie" Collins, late of Estevan, Saskatchewan, announces his passing at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK, on Monday, March 26, 2018 at the age of 82 years.

Bernie was born on June 18, 1935 in Regina, SK. He attended Campion College. He received his B.Ed from the University of Saskatchewan and his M.Sc in Educational Admin. from Northern State College in Bismark, North Dakota. He met his future wife, Delphine (Del) Fahlman, in high school and they were married in Regina. Bernie worked as an educator, starting his teaching career in 1960 in Kamsack, SK. He then taught in Regina, and then back to Kamsack before moving to Estevan, where he spent the remainder of his career as a teacher and principal. He was active on many boards in the community. His involvement with Estevan City Council spanned four decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s). He served several terms as a city councilor and was the Mayor of Estevan from 1985 to 1988. He was elected to Parliament as a Liberal Party candidate in the 1993 federal election and served in the 35th Canadian Parliament. He represented the federal riding of Souris-Moose Mountain from 1993 to 1997. Bernie was an avid sports enthusiast - coach, player and fan. When he no longer played, he became an avid sports fan and enjoyed cheering on his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Bernie was an outdoor enthusiast, spending many hours hunting and fishing.

His years in Kamsack led to his lifelong love of Madge Lake, where Bernie and Del later bought a cabin, and where he could often be found during the summer months, meeting friends for coffee, fishing and playing bridge. In recent years, Bernie spent his winters in Arizona. No matter where in the world he travelled, Bernie had a knack for bumping into a friend, colleague, or former student. No matter where he was, you could count on Bernie going out for coffee with friends and finding a bridge game to play!

Bernie was predeceased by Del, his wife of 44 years; parents, Matthew and Annie May; infant son David and infant greatgranddaughter Zara; brothers, Michael, Gil and Father William, and sisters, Delores and Mary Margaret. He is survived by eight children: Michael (Delaine); Carol (Lynnwood) and their four children: David (Amanda and their children Isla and Bennett), Amy (Michael), Michelle (Curtis and their sons Connor and Luke) and Matthew (MacKenzie); Neil (Barb) and their three children: Erin (Kirk and their sons Max and Cruz), Kathleen (Chad and their children Holt and Rory), Michael (Shenise); Gordon (Janet) and son Sam; Paul (Connie) and sons Jesse (Kenzie) and Jaime and their mother Lindsay Collins; Catherine (Marcos) and their daughter Isabella; Sean (Leane) and their four children: Liam, Kaelyn, Ainsley and Seamus; Carrie (Jason) and their sons: Ryan and Ty. Bernie is also survived by his sister Pat and brothers, Vincent, Alan, Martin and Glenn.

Prayers will be said on Friday, April 6, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. and the Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Both will be held at St. John the Baptist R.C. Church, Estevan, with Rev. Basil Chomos presiding. A luncheon in the parish auditorium will follow the Funeral Mass, after which a family interment will take place at Souris Valley Memorial Gardens.

Those wishing to make donations in Bernie's memory may do so directly to the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation, 1176 Nicholson Road, Estevan, SK, S4A 0H3 or the New Estevan Regional Nursing Home, 1201 - 2nd Street, Estevan, SK, S4A 0M1.

Leko’s Conservation Corner Hunters are becoming more aware of the effects of chronic wasting disease on certain big game species in Saskatchewan, and that harvested animals with this disease should not be eaten.

So, the following is a Coles Notes version of this pretty complex subject.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal disease that affects the central nervous system of deer, elk, caribou and moose, also known as cervids.

CWD was first identified in a wildlife research facility in Colorado in the 1960s.

The disease was first confirmed in cap tive animals (cervids) in Saskatchewan in 1996.

The first case detected in wild animals was a mule deer in the fall of 2000 in the Lloydminster area.

It has since spread to other areas of Saskatchewan. CWD was most likely brought into the province by an infected elk imported from South Dakota in the 1980s.

While animals appear healthy in the early stages of the disease, CWD is invariably fatal and is shown to have negative impacts on deer and elk populations in North America.

The disease is transmitted from one animal to another through contaminated saliva, feces, urine, soil and water.

CWD has been found in Saskatchewan, Alberta, North Korea, Norway, and as many as 24 states in the United States. It is also referred to as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, which is quite a mouthful.

The disease is caused by infectious proteins, called prions. These infectious proteins accumulate in the nervous tissue of the animal, causing microscopic holes in the brain.

In deer and elk populations, there are no viable tests to detect CWD in

Thursday, April 5, 2018

Chronic wasting disease

LINDSEY LEKO live animals. There is no known cure or vaccine to prevent its spread.

This disease is expanding on the landscape and remains a concern for wildlife management in the province.

Although a human case of CWD has never been identified, hunters are encouraged to test all harvested animals for CWD. Preliminary results of a recent experimental study show that macaque monkeys, which are closely related to humans, developed the disease over time when fed muscle meat from CWD-infected deer.

The study is ongoing and the results will be subject to scientific peer review.

As a precaution, Health C a n a d a a n d t h e Wo r l d Health Organization recommend that people not eat meat or other parts of a CWD-infected animal.

In Saskatchewan, more than 800 animals were tested from the 2017 fall harvest, with 98 animals testing positive for the disease.

CWD was also confirmed in 10 new wildlife management zones. The newly identified zones are 1, 2E, 3, 4, 6, 7W, 22, 30, 39 and 44.

Again, this is why it is so important that hunters have their harvested animals tested for the disease.

Q: When does testing typically take place?

Te s t i n g i s g e n e r a l l y done from September until February. Hunters would fill out the CWD submission form at www.cwdsk.

ca and submit the animal’s head, along with the unique CWD ID number, for testing to a Ministry of Environment office by mid-February.

Hunters need to ensure that the head is double marked with the unique CWD ID and follow the suggested packaging instructions.

The hunter would receive a number to track the submission online to determine if he or she has an infected animal.

Q: How is testing done?

Lab staff examine the animal’s tonsils and lymph nodes, as these organs will show CWD first. From here they will examine a portion of brain stem called the obex, which is located directly under the cerebellum. This part of the brain is the first area that will show CWD. All samples are sliced and preserved through freezing or formaldehyde.

These samples are examined under a microscope.

Lab staff look for holes in the brain tissue, which are very easy to distinguish.

Q: Does feeding deer increase chances of CWD? Ye s . I n m a n y p l a c e s feeding deer where there is CWD is unlawful because of its ability to spread.

While there is currently no law against this activity on private land, it is important to remember that CWD is transmitted through saliva and other body fluids.

Feeding groups of animals, or putting out salt blocks, can only increase the chances of the spread of CWD and other diseases.

Q: If I harvest a deer infected with CWD and I learn of the results after the season, do I get reimbursed for my licence that year?

Ye s . I f i t i s d u r i n g the season and the results come back you may be issued a duplicate to

allow you to harvest another deer, or you can get a refund.

If the season is over and you learn of the positive result, you will receive a refund for your licence.

Q: Since testing started in Saskatchewan, how many positive cases have been discovered?

Since testing started in 1997, there have been over 46,500 samples of wild cervids tested by the Canadian Wildlife Health Co-operative Centre in Saskatoon. Of those samples, 467 mule deer, 115 white-tailed deer, 12 elk and one moose have tested positive.

These samples do not include submissions that were not deemed viable for testing due to brain damage, or decomposition.

T h e y a l s o d o n o t i nclude any samples of cervids under the age of one year, as CWD infections were difficult to detect in young animals.

So there you have it …

CWD 101 is in the books.

I think this column just made my Grade 12 biology teacher, who gave me a 61 per cent final mark, pretty proud.

If you have any questions, you can go to saskatchewan.ca or the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative web page.

Both have lots of great information on the issue.

Until next time . . . don’t drive on ice where someone hasn’t gone before you (EDITOR’S NOTE: Ministry of Environment conservation officer Lindsey Leko has spent m o re t h a n 2 6 y e a r s a s a conservation officer in Saskatchewan. For many years, Officer Leko contributed a column to local papers on a variety of issues related to hunting, fishing, and other resource-related issues. If you have questions, please contact lindsey.leko@gov. sk.ca.)

Children taken “Down on the Farm” during Early Childhood IMPACT event in Kamsack Nearly 200 people attended the Early Childhood IMPACT event entitled “Down on the Farm” held at the Victoria School gymnasium on March 21.

I M PA C T ( I n t r i g u i n g Minds: Parents and Children Together) is a fun event for the whole family, said a release from Regional KidsFirst.

“Down on the Farm” was said to appeal to both girls and boys alike, the release said. The event was targeted for pre-school-aged children and their caregivers.

All stations were developmentally appropriate and demonstrated skills and activities parents and their children could engage in at home.

Children demonstrated their knowledge of concepts, as well as problem solving skills when they took part in the Farm Friends Puzzle, Round Up, and farmers’ market stations. From there, families explored fine and gross motor skills, as well as co-ordination and balance by enjoying some friendly

potato sack races and a bean bag tosses.

The farm is a rich place to bring language, books and numbers to life, said the release. “At our story corner, we demonstrated strategies parents could use to engage children during story time.

“Through stories, farm Playdough fun and sensory bins, we could learn how to interact with others, build positive relationships, and had a sense of belonging.

Encouraging a child’s wonder, awe and joy as well as

appreciation of beauty and the connections to nature were explored at the grain samples station as well as the planting station.

Dig in the dirt, read a story, get active! By engaging in play with our children, we are encouraging healthy development.

IMPACT events provide opportunities for families to build bridges within their community and ensure that our children receive a healthy start in life.

Molloy swore his oath of office before Chief Justice Robert G. Richards during a ceremony in the L e g i s l a t i v e C h a m b e r, said a release from Intergovernmental Affairs.

Woman seeks help identifying painting probably presented in Kamsack in 1936 A British Columbia woman hopes that someone at Kamsack might shine a light on a painting with a Kamsack angle that she had inherited.

Liz Souder of Grand Forks, B.C. contacted Kev Sumner, Kamsack’s recreation director and emailed him a photo of a painting that she had inherited from her parents.

On the back is written “Feb. 14 th , 1936 Won by Geo Foreman at Kamsack,

Sask. Annual Bonspiel.”

“I cannot read the signature of the artist but there is also a note on the back that says: “painter Challenger.”

“Can you give me any information on who the artist may have been or who Geo Foreman was?” Souder asks. “Any information would be appreciated and I thank you for your time.”

Souder provided an email address which can be obtained either from Sumner or the Kamsack Times.

At left is a painting for which the name of the artist is not readily identified. It belongs to a British Columbia woman who asks for help identifying the painter and the occasion of its presentation in 1936 to George Foreman at Kamsack. At right are three views of the writing on the backside of the painting.
