Hearts For Youth auction raises over $9,000

Full house at the Kipling Community Centre with supporters of all ages at the annual Hearts for Youth Banquet & Auction. By Christopher Swanson mr.chrisswanson@outlook.com

The 17th annual Hearts for Youth fundraiser was held on Friday, February 7th, and, as always, it was a great success. Approximately 250 people filled the Kipling Community Centre, raising a total of about $9000 for the Kipling Youth Centre. Due to the fact that the banquet is always held on the Friday prior to Valentine’s

Day tables were decorated in a Valentine’s theme with red tablecloths and white napkins and a package of sweet candies for each guest. Attendees enjoyed a wonderful buffet style pork supper, complete with desert, and, had the chance to bid against each other on a huge variety of items provided by local businesses for the silent auction. There were also several items available through a traditional style auction.

Caroline Puffalt and her students entertained the guests as they arrived with a variety of beautiful musical and vocal performances. Caroline has supported the Kipling Youth Centre over the years, utilizing some of the space for music and vocal lessons for her talented students. Emcee Mike Zorn kept the evening running smoothly introducing the evening’s speakers with some comedy, fun facts and words of support

for the Kipling Youth Centre. Mayor Buck Bright delivered a special message to the guests and announced the Annual Volunteer Awards, announcing the Sports and Recreation Award to Lorne Sproat, the Senior Award to Louise Boston, Youth Award to DJ Palmer and the Culture & Heritage Award to Elainy Cacho. After the supper, Gordon Kish took to the stage to begin the live auction donating his auctioneer talents. Kish gave

the usual reminder before beginning “There is no friends at an auction!! We’re here for a little fun and raise a little money for the Youth Centre!” The live auction began with some homemade Baklava and a variety of pies. Bidding continued on baked goods and even a birdhouse. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of those that worked tirelessly to help make this year’s Hearts for Youth fundraiser such a fantastic experience.

Temporary fuel rationing at many Co-ops

By Christopher Swanson mr.chrisswanson@outlook.com

As a result of the on-going labour disruption at the CoOp refinery in Regina, as well as a Unifor blockade at Co-Op’s fuel terminal facility in Carseland AB, temporary fuel rationing has been implemented at many Co-Op run gas stations across Western Canada. Customers are allowed a

maximum of 300L of diesel, or 100L of gasoline, per day. These restrictions have been put in place to try and prevent more gas stations from simply running out of fuel entirely. Federated Cooperatives Limited (FCL) says it has plenty of fuel available, but, that their transport trucks are being denied access due to blockades put in place by Unifor.

The blockades were erected by Unifor union members after negotiations failed to yield a resolution in this dispute. An injunction was previously issued by Justice McMurtry, ordering the union to stop impeding traffic, but it was of little eect. A second injunction, granted by Justice Campbell, added an enforcement clause to aid the RCMP in enforcing

under police supervision, and public access to the road was restricted, allowing some supply trucks to begin accessing the facility. Four people were also arrested Wednesday morning. Each charged with mischief under $5000, as well as with

disobeying a court order. All four have since been released and are due in court at the end of March. UPDATE: Fuel rationing has been removed by FCL. Deliveries shall resume as normal beginning Wednesday.

Celebrate your special someone on Valentine’s Day

By Christopher Swanson mr.chrisswanson@outlook com

Friday, February 14th, is, once again, Valentine’s Day. It’s a day to celebrate that someone special in your life, and traditionally, to shower them with roses, chocolates, and other lavish gifts. This celebration of love is closely tied to the Roman festival Lupercalia, held mid February, which welcomed the coming spring and all the renewed beauty that comes with it. Lupercalia was replaced

at the end of the 5th century, by Pope Gelasius, oďŹƒcially setting the date to February 14th, and renaming the celebration St. Valentine’s Day in honour of St. Valentine. In the 3rd century A.D., St. Valentine was rumoured to have performed secret, illegal marriages for soldiers, despite royal opinions at the time that such marriages were little more than a potentially fatal distraction to the soldiers, and, that these marriages would only result in the inevitable creation of widows. St. Valentine is said to have been jailed and

ultimately executed for his choosing love over law by disobeying this decision, a sentence said to have been carried out on February 14th. The first commercially available Valentine’s Day cards date back to the late 1700’s, in Europe, and the mid 1800’s in North America. These cards were quite similar in content to our modern cards, being adorned with pictures of the Roman God of love, Cupid, as well as hearts and birds, and were commonly accompanied by candies and flowers, much like today.

inferno, but, eorts are well underway. An investigation into the cause of this latest derailment as well as an assessment of the environmental impact, will be conducted when it is safe to do so. This is the second time in two months that a train has derailed in this particular area, the first being only approximately 10 kilometres away, on December 9th, 2019.

In that incident, 33 tankers plus a hopper derailed, resulting in approximately 1.5 million litres of oil being spilled, as estimated by the Transportation Safety Board. Figures are not yet available for this incident, as authorities have not yet had a chance to investigate the cause of the derailment, or evaluate the environmental impact. Continued on Page 8

Dr. Wendy’s Natural Life News Naturopathic AnƟ-virals and Overall Immune System Support

In the wake of the global Coronavirus epidemic, which is causing a great deal of fear and concern internaƟonally, I felt it was appropriate to discuss ways to support ones immune system, and share some tried and true remedies if you should happen to get sick (with any viral infecƟon).

The big disƟncƟon that needs to be stressed is that anƟbioƟcs do NOT work for viral infecƟons since viruses are Ɵny microbes that use the body’s own cells to replicate and create more copies of themselves and so the focus needs to be on both strengthening the immune system and ĮghƟng the virus. DIET is the place I always recommend you start, since I believe food should be your medicine. GREEN TEA (Camellia sinensis) contains a group of Ňavonoids called catechins, which appear to inhibit viral infecƟons by blocking the enzymes that allow it to reproduce. All of my Harmony Tea Co teas contain Green tea, and the AnƟ-InŇammatory and AnƟ-aging teas are parƟcularly eīecƟve for immune support.

Elainy Cacho accepts award from Mayor Buck Bright.

Lifestyle SLEEP – Not only does the body heal when we sleep, but sleep also supports a strong immune system. Think of the last Ɵme you were sleep deprived and then got sick shortly aŌer. 7-8 hours is a must! INTERMITTANT FASTING – The old saying of “feed a cold and starve a fever” is very true. FasƟng has been shown to improve our immune funcƟon and when in a fasted state we are able to Įght oī viral infecƟons more eīecƟvely. Reduce the number of hours you eat in a day to 6-8 and see the diīerence. Supplements I carry a large number of immune supporƟng remedies at my clinics, and at this Ɵme of year I stock up on a few I’ve found to be incredibly helpful: IMN-V is a terriĮc liquid combinaƟon of herbs that works wonders on viral infecƟons, and ColdPro capsules are power packed with herbs known to boost the immune system and reduce viral infecƟons quickly. The two can be used together with a daily probioƟc and Vitamin D to promote a very strong immune system.

GARLIC Garlic has been prized for its medicinal properƟes for thousands of years. The compounds allicin and alliion are responsible for this common plant’s reputaƟon as a triple threat. Garlic is anƟ-viral, anƟ-bacterial and anƟ-fungal and it is especially eīecƟve against viruses if chewed raw. LICORICE Licorice, a main ingredient in my Adrenal Stress Balance Blend tea contains a substance called glycyrrhizin that reduces the replicaƟon of viruses and halts their ability to penetrate and replicate inside healthy cells. Unfortunately the candy form of licorice is not going to help. REDUCE SUGAR – as I’ve said before, 1 tsp of sugar reduces your immune system for 6 hours, so focusing on sugar reducƟon is crucial.

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

A modern parable and weeping for justice by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

Do not let Sunday be taken from you. If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan. - Albert Schweitzer There was once a man a man named Christopher who lived in a new home, in a fashionable neighborhood. He worked very hard at his job and had little time left for his family. He did not go to church. No time. One day his world was interrupted when a stranger knocked on his door. The gentle visitor posed no threat, so Christopher invited him to table for a meal. As they ate, Christopher became more interested in what the stranger was saying. The language seemed archaic, but it had a familiar ring to it. “Blessed are the poor, and woe to those who are rich. Blessed are those who are hungry, and woe to those who have their fill. Blessed are those who weep, and woe to those who laugh now. Blessed are those who are hated, and woe to those who are spoken well of.” After the stranger left, Christopher was puzzled about the stranger’s words. He had no way of understanding what the promises and threats meant. There was just no way of applying this to his own life, so he decided to file it away

in his thoughts until later. How are we to interpret the message of the stranger in the above story? We have a pretty good idea if we have been attending Sunday services all our lives. But even then, it is puzzling. On a good day I might have to admit that I am rich, compared to world standards; that I am full, unless I am fasting or trying to lose weight; that I am laughing, since I know and repeat many jokes and puns; and that I am well spoken of, since I have many friends and few enemies. So how am I to face the final judgement? The greatest gift God has given us is compassion. We cannot miss the suffering in our world. There is the pileup of refugees at our borders, the homeless in our city streets, the hungry in every city and town, the deaths of the unborn in our hospitals and the list of inequities and injustices goes on. The Greek word for “weeping” might be translated as “blessed are those who shed tears for those who are broken.” We can weep for the destitute, empathise with the poor, and share our abundance with them. We need seasons of fasting and alms-giving in our lives. And we need to stand up for justice even when we are hated for it. How does this all happen in our lives? I have noticed that many of those who follow us, Generation X, Y and Z,

are also too busy to hear, too distracted to reflect, but too intelligent to ignore the calling of God. I fear that sometimes we want to avoid spiritual realities and the fact of death by immersing ourselves in our work and pursuits, so that Sunday morning finds us not in church but at some really worthwhile or noble activity. But at our inner core most of us acknowledge a profound spiritual hunger that persists. Continue seeking. “When God prepares the heart to hunger, He will prepare His hand to fill.” (Thomas Watson)

Trade is about negotiation By Calvin Daniels cdaniels@sasktel.net

There often seems to be a fly in the ointment when it comes to world trade in agriculture, and that fly often seems to originate in the United States. It is safe to say that the United States are eager traders in farm products as long as they perceive they are getting the best of the deal. While it is human nature to some degree to want to come out of a deal feeling like we have ‘won’ the day – a full tank of gas on a used car purchase for example – but world trade has to be a bit more of a place of give and take in order to keep goods flowing both ways. Canadian producers have always thought of themselves as growing the best hard spring wheat in the world. You have the best product then sales should be easy. But not everyone wants to the highest quality, or can afford it. Trade is not that black and white, so trade is about negotiation that includes give and take. Trade rules over the years have been made a bit clearer for all involved by countries signing onto the World Trade Organization, which has included an appeal process to help resolve disputes which are going to pop up from time to time. Having a process of resolution is critical to keeping trade on as even a keel as possible. However, the increasingly protectionist USA, and its tendency to use its position to bully others to get what it wants, have created a level of trade disaccord of late. The WTO’s appellate body ceased functioning on Dec. 10 because the United States blocked the appointment of appellate judges. The U.S. is using its veto on appointments to protest what it perceives as an anti-U.S. bias in the WTO’s dispute settlement system, or in other words they are getting what they want at the table so they are willing to upset the table. Without a functioning appellate body countries are no longer able to appeal WTO rulings, casting doubt on the entire dispute settlement process. Some countries have come up with a ‘word around’ but that is a band-aid to a rather serious problem. There is enough issues facing trade at present, political uncertainty from Britain to Washington and of course the aura that is coronavirus, that the system does not need meddling from a disgruntled trade partner. Of course therein lies the heart of things. Trade deals are partnership and both partners need to find a way to make a dollar in order to be around to make future deals. When arguments arise resolution is needed. It’s too bad in this instance the USA is trying to bully the system and in the process disrupt trade.

Kennedy 4-H Beef Club enjoys winter activities The Kennedy 4-H Beef Club held a bingo fundraiser on Dec. 14, 2019 at the Kennedy Hall. The members sold tickets to surrounding community members. Each 4-H member brought a prize. There were 12 games of bingo. Approximately 110 community members showed up for brisket supper. And 30 played bingo. The reason why we did this whole fundraiser was because we wanted to raise money for the 4-H Club and future events. Thank you to

everyone who came for the bingo and supper. We also had our weigh day Dec. 29, 2019. Our club weighed 12 steers and 5 spares. There will also be several heifers. Members weigh the steers because they need to know how much their steers weigh at the start of the year and at the end to see how much their steer gained. That is called average daily gain. We also had our Harvest Meats tour on Friday, January 10, 2020 In Yorkton, SK.

Harvest Meats makes over 100 dierent meat products. Most noteably the all beef wiener. Readers may also be familiar with another popular product like Mini sticks. The most popular part of the tour was getting free samples. Thank you very much for the tour Harvest Meats. Our next tour will be to a Hutterite colony. Salutations from the Kennedy Beef Club.

room every day. Let’s tell them how grateful we are for their dedication to education.

Celebrate Family Day weekend with free fishing, February 15 to 17

Saskatchewan’s Family Day holiday weekend is a great time to give ice fishing a try with no licence required. Experience the beauty of Saskatchewan lakes this winter during the province’s annual winter free fishing weekend, from February 15-17. “Fishing is a tremendously popular activity in Saskatchewan, with more than 250,000 anglers annually,� Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Free fishing weekend is a perfect opportunity to get outside with family and friends to enjoy our province’s natural resources.� Saskatchewan resi-

dents and visitors may fish any waterbody that has an open sport fishing season without buying a fishing licence. All other regulations remain in effect, including possession limits and reduced limits on some lakes and rivers. Free fishing weekend does not apply in national parks, and anyone planning to take fish out of the province must buy a licence. The Ministry of Environment reminds anglers to always put safety first when going out on the ice. Use caution and common sense, including testing ice thickness before travelling on it. A minimum of 10 cm of good ice is re-

quired for walking and 30 cm for light vehicle travel. For more information about fishing in Saskatchewan, check the ministry’s

Anglers’ Guide, available wherever fishing licences are sold, or online at http://saskatchewan.ca/ fishing.

Season is over for KW Oil Kings By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

The KW Oil Kings played their first of two games total points against the ArcolaKisbey Combines in Kipling Arena last Thursday night. The Combines would get on the scoreboard first with one goal in the first period. Shots were taken but no goals were scored by the Oil Kings until half way through the first period. Quentin Sproat would put the Oil Kings on the scoreboard with assists going to Dean Barath and James Gallagher. A minute and a half later James Schaeffer would mark the second goal with assists going to Brandon Munro and Aaron Roth. The Oil Kings would rack up five minor penalties in the

Last week the Wolseley Mustangs went into Regina having to beat the River Rats in order to take first place in the Qu’Appelle Valley Junior Hockey League for the third year in a row. They did it. In the next game, the last game of the season, the Emerald Park Wizards came into Wolseley for what some would term a “nothing game”. The Mustangs led from start to finish for a 6-3 win.

first period to the Combines’ four minors. Schaeffer would score the only goal late in the second period, assisted by Josh Hassler. Again each team took one minor penalty in the second period. Drew Schiller scored the Oil Kings’ fourth goal early in the third period with assists going to Rodney Reid and Cole Hayhurst. The Combines would end the game with two more goals. The Oil Kings took three more minor penalties in the third period giving the Combines their third goal on a power play. Shots on net for the Oil Kings was 35 to the Combines 28. The Oil Kings were up by one goal with the score being

4 to 3. The following night, Friday, the KW Oil Kings headed back to Arcola for game two. The Oil Kings would score the first goal of the game early in the first period by Caley Bjork, assisted by Derek Toth and Brandon Munro. The Combines would come right back with their first goal 30 seconds later. They would go on to score three more goals in the second period. Each team would go on to score another goal in the third period. Brandon Munro scored the Oil Kings second goal with 4 seconds remaining on the clock. Assists went to Gallagher and Sproat. There was no shortage of penalties in this game either. The Combines were assessed

In Regina the Mustangs were up 4-0 before the River Rats woke up. Period scores were 1-0 and 4-2. A bit of a letdown in the third had the Mustangs coaches concerned, as the Rats made it 4-3 before Dylan Florek scored an empty-netter to put the game away. Other Wolseley goal scorers were Wade Roppel, Mason Hoffman, Reace Faubert and Tanner Baran. Sincere Toto and Dustin Coderre each had two assists. The

Mustangs took eight of 15 minor penalties and a misconduct. The misconduct was given to Tanner Baran, who had shadowed league scoring leader Nick Malakoff, holding him to only one assist on the night. Malakoff taunted Baran to drop his gloves, and Tanner obliged. Malakoff turtled, and for some reason the ref held Baran responsible, giving him the ten. Tanner may not figure high on the score column, but he has delivered some ef-

So, with the league title locked up, Saturday’s home game against Emerald Park could have been a yawner, but the Mustangs put in a good effort, leading1-0, 3-1 and 6-3 by periods. Braedyn Wozniak led the scoring with a natural hat trick.

Other Wolseley scorers were Carson Thorley, Tristan Holbrow and Dustin Coderre. Mason Hoffman and Cam Maier each had two assists. Emerald Park took five of nine minors and a misconduct. Brady Lutz was in the net for the Mustangs and made a good account of himself. All

three goals were point blank shots that he had little chance of stopping. Wolseley now has the luxury of dressing two very effective goalies. The Mustangs now wait for the winner of the Emerald Park/ Lumsden Survivor Series. As of this writing, Emerald Park is up one game to none.
