In what has become an all too familiar sight here on the prairies, another grain elevator is being demolished. An iconic symbol of the prairies since the 1880’s, many grain elevators are now being torn down, resulting in the near eradication of these wooden behemoths. There were once over

5000 grain elevators spanning our prairies. Over time, however, many of these historical landmarks have fallen into disrepair and have been destroyed, leaving behind little more than a fond, distant memory of times long since passed. There are now fewer than 1000 of these wooden grain elevators remaining, with more coming down each year. This time, it’s our own

Paterson grain elevator in Kipling. According to town records, construction on the Paterson grain elevator in Kipling began in 1962, and was completed in 1963, with the exception of a utility building, which was built in 1997. Life expectancy of the elevator itself was 55-60 years. Demolition began Thursday, January 23 and was

expected to be completed in the following week. On Tuesday, January 28th, a large crowd gathered to witness the felling of the 57 year old local landmark. Demolition is being carried out by Russell Construction. Anyone potentially interested in purchasing some salvaged elevator lumber can contact Chad at 1-204745-9680 or Brent at 1-204745-7901 for information.

Kipling Curling Club held their 22nd annual Oilmen’s Bonspiel in Kipling this past weekend with 12 rinks taking part, up a few rinks from last year. Once again, for many players, it has been a tradition to take part in this bonspiel and look forward to coming back year after year. There were a few new faces this year and a few familiar faces missing as well due to other commitments. Curling action began on Thursday and continued on Friday followed by a supper held on Friday night in

the Community Centre. Curling continued all day Saturday with the final games at 7:00 in the evening. Steak suppers were offered on both Thursday and Saturday evenings. As the annual bonspiel drew to a close the results were placed on a large poster by the kitchen. In the A Event, first place went to McKay Welding with second place going to Heaton Construction. The Heaton team was up by 6 points after five ends. McKay Welding team made a come back counting in the 6th, 7th and 8th ends to tie it up sending this game into an extra end. Heaton’s last

shot was a plan to draw to the button for a point but it wasn’t to be. McKay Welding won by a score of 7-6 after three hours of play. The B Event was won by Killer B’s winning over David Batters’ Gee Bee team by a score of 10-7. This game was also tied 7-7 after the 7th end. Killer B’s counted three points in the 8th end to take the win. Winners of the C Event was System 3 Supply over Travis Kish’s Canadian Plains Energy Services team by a score of 9-8. Each of these teams took their turns at scoring two and three points at a time

Skip Kish had the chance for a double on his last rock to tie up the score but his shot didn’t go according to plan only scoring one point ending the game only adding one extra point. D Event was won by PPSI winning over the Lohner team by a score of 12-8. At one point the fans thought the game might be over early as PPSI was up by 6 points until skip Lohner took out the opposing rock with his last shot and counted five points in the sixth end. The game continued on with PPSI

counting in the 8th end to win the game. Also taking part in the bonspiel, but not placing in an event, were Canadian Plains Energy Services (DD), Canadian Plains Energy Services (MB), Gee Bee Construction (MH) and Mantl. Winners taking first in each of the events will receive 2020 Oilmen’s Bonspiel jackets. All others picked prizes as well. “The spiel went very well,” comments Dan Manns, President of the Kipling Curling Club. “We had about 70 people at the banquet. We want to thank

Adele Nagy, Karen Bernat and the 49ers for the amazing meal they made us on Friday.” “The Oilmen’s Bonspiel is typically our biggest fundraiser of the year,” explains Manns and adds “thank you to the volunteers who put in long hours to make this work. And finally, thank you to our sponsors. They’re generosity is incredible.” Congratulations go to the winners and to all the teams and players who made the bonspiel such a great success. Kipling looks forward to welcoming you back again in 2021.

Submitted by Carla Dovell

Many games were organized, family members were invited out to the ice where they created routines with the kids and performed for anyone. Everyone had a fantastic time. We would like to thank everyone who supported our skaters.

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

Repentance and going for the gold by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

When I look at life’s journey, I am reminded of the Irishman who was asked for directions to Dublin. “I wouldn’t start out from here,” he cautioned. Then I look at Doctor Peter Attia’s “strategies and tactics to increase lifespan, health span, and well-being, while optimizing cognitive, physical, and emotional health,” and I take his advice to START HERE. There are signs in our lives. We look for them. We rejoice at prophecies that forecast great things for us, be they in scripture or in our horoscopes. But we don’t handle the one important sign we often come across in life: REPENT! I am reminded of a pastor and a priest from the local parishes who are standing by the side of the road, holding up a sign that reads, “The End Is Near! Turn yourself around now before it’s too late!” “Take a hike and leave us alone, you religious nuts!” shouts the first driver as he speeds by. Suddenly, from around the curve, the clergy hear screeching tires and a big crash. “Do you think it would be better if we put up a sign that says, ‘BRIDGE OUT’ instead?” the pastor asks the priest. Perhaps the padres need to find a way to communicate the joy that eventually comes from conversion. A Mother Theresa story from Melbourne, Australia, relates how she visited a poor man whom nobody knew existed.

The room in which he was living was in a terrible state of untidiness and neglect. There was no light in the room. She started to clean and tidy the room. At first he protested saying, ‘Leave it alone. It’s alright as it is.’ But she went ahead anyway. Under a pile of rubbish she found a beautiful oil lamp that was covered with dust. She cleaned and polished it and then asked him why he never lit the lamp. He answered, ‘Why should I light it? No one ever comes to see me.” He finally agreed to light it if he got any visitors. Mother Theresa sent two of her sisters to visit him on a regular basis. After some time, the man admitted to them that he could now manage on his own. But he had one request: “Tell that first sister who came to see me that she lit a light in my life, and it is still burning.” If we want a share in that Divine light, all we have to do is invite Jesus into our hearts and he will indeed set us free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness. In time we will be transformed by the “refiner’s fire and reflect our true gold essence (Malachi 3:1-4). We never know how close we are to striking it rich spiritually until we try. The story is told of a prospector digging for gold in Colorado. He struck a vein of gold. He quickly got his relatives and much equipment together and started mining. Alas, the vein petered out and he gave up, sold the claim and retreated. A mining engineer picked up the claim and

Partnerships can achieve progress that individual investment may not By Calvin Daniels cdaniels@sasktel.net

The future ability of agriculture to continue to feed the world relies solely on scientific research which will help increase yields, fight diseases, fend off insect pests, and growing plants in places that they traditionally have not. But, research only happens with an investment today, in order to reap the benefits at some point down the road. It is not necessarily an immediate return on investment, and not every path scientists take will lead to anything worthwhile, but they must still make the journey. It is important that governments play a role in funding research on behalf of the populace. The future of food security is far too important to leave entirely to profit driven big business. It might sound a bit Orwellian to distrust big business, but it never hurts for public coffers to keep a hand in the game as a way to ensure public interests are considered at least on an equal footing with profit margins. So it has to be seen as a positive when one reads in a release of investments such as the recent announcement federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Maire-Claude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit dedicated nearly $8.1 million in funding under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership for 28 livestock and forage-related research projects through Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund (ADF). This includes $4.9 million in funding for 27 livestock and forage-related research projects and $3.2 million in operational funding for the Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence. Producers too must play a role in funding research as they are the ones who benefit first from whatever is developed. So, again it is a huge positive when one reads a story from the University of Saskatchewan that “with $2.35 million in funding from the federal government and the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC), University of Saskatchewan (USask) veterinary researcher Dr. Cheryl Waldner will undertake a major five-year research program to advance beef cattle health and productivity, helping to sustain the profitability and competitiveness of Canada’s $17-billiona-year beef industry.” Similarly, partnerships can achieve progress that individual investment may not. So seeing 30 University of Saskatchewan (USask) crop research projects having been awarded a total of more than $8 million through Saskatchewan’s Agricultural Development Fund (ADF), a program jointly supported by the federal and provincial governments and supplemented by industry partners, again shows that agriculture research is generally on a positive path. There will of course never be the funds to cover all the research scientists would like to undertake, but it still needs to be an area deemed as a good investment by producers and the public.

Royals Initiation Tourney at the Kipling Rink By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

Kipling Royals Initiation held their tournament on Saturday inviting Wawota and Whitewood to take part. All together there were more than 50 players skating throughout the day. Due to the Kipling team having so many players they

were divided up into two teams making the four team tournament. All teams had the chance to play against one another with the two Kipling teams vying against each other in the final game of the day. Throughout the day, fans had the chance to purchase tickets on various raffle prizes and the 50/50 prize.

At one point, all Initiation players were lined up and each given a puck for the Puck Toss. Lucky winner with his puck being closest to the target was Kaine Adams from Whitewood. He received a $50 Gift Card from SportChek. All players walked away with a medal for their efforts.

KW Oil Kings end season with two losses By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

The KW Oil Kings played one home game and one away game this past weekend. Oil Kings 3 vs Yellow Grass 9 KW Oil Kings welcomed the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings to the Kipling Arena on Friday, Jan. 31. The Wheat Kings were up 3-0 in the first period before the Oil Kings got on the scoreboard. With little more than five minutes left on the clock the Oil Kings scored their first goal by Kienen Piper, assisted by Derek Bachert and Aaron Roth. Fourteen seconds later they would score their sec-

Very few penalties were assessed with each team receiving three 2-min minors. Yellow Grass 12 vs Oil Kings 1 KW Oil Kings were on

Weekend wins keep Mustangs in first By Stephen Scriver

The Wolseley Mustangs held onto first place in the QVJHL by the slimest of margins by taking two wins last weekend, 5-4 over Emerald Park and 5-1 over Lumsden. Emerald Park came into the Wolseley Sportsplex last Friday and found themselves down 5-0 halfway through the second period before starting a comeback. There were times the Mustangs had trouble getting organized,

and the Wizards took advantage, slowly chipping away at the Wolseley lead. They scored their fourth goal with just under five minutes left, before the Mustangs closed ranks and preserved the win. Wade Roppel had two goals for the home team, with singles from Rylan Bechard, Carson Thorley and Mason Hoffman. Sincere Toto had two assists. There were only five minor penalties in the game, three to Wolseley. Period scores

were 2-0, 5-1 and 5-4. Roppel’s game-winning goal was a beautiful individual effort right from the faceoff to the twine. Wade also had a resounding goalpost DING in the third when he almost gave his team some breathing room. Mason Hoffman continued his impressive scoring streak with another nice individual effort. Dustyn Lowenburg was solid in net when he needed to be. The game in Bethune against the Lumsden Jax

Wade Roppel (6) has just scored Wolseley’s second goal, assisted by Dustin Coderre (17) and Randy Rozak (3). was a good outing for the Mustangs. With 14 skaters and two goalies, the coaches had three consistent forward lines to put on the ice and two solidf defensive pairs. The visitors put on a passing clinic for most of the game, and both their forecheck and backcheck were solid. The shot count was 57 to 18 for Wolseley. It was another Wade Roppel/Mason Hoffman night, as the two forwards each had four points. Wade scored the first four goals

of the game, while Mason assisted on three of them and potted the game’s last goal. Randy Rozak had two assists. With three defensemen on the sidelines for various reasons, it was good to have four reliable D-men on the blue line. Jared Yeadon and Braedyn Wozniak are always solid, but Stephen Manovich has shaken off any rookie jitters he had. Head Coach Mark Beliveau complimented Stephen, saying, “It’s nice to have another guy you can send

out in any situation.” And let’s not forget Sincere Toto, who is willing to step into the defensive corps when called upon. He is an asset no matter where the coaches put him. Dustyn Lowenburg had another good night. Only seven minor penalties were called, two on the Mustangs. When this story is published, first place will likely have been decided, as Wolseley meets the Regina River Rats at Staples Arena on Thursday.

Wawota News Myrna Olson Darren and Kathy Olson have returned after spending time on a holiday to Mayan Riviera, Mexico. While there they both celebrated birthdays, Darren on January 11th and Kathy on January 14th. Belated happy birthday!! Over 90 people from more than 20 countries received their Canadian citizenship at one of 6 ceremonies held at the Doubletree Hotel Ballroom. The Jake Lamoureaux family motored to Regina to attend the January 29th ceremony where John Jacob Lamoureaux became a Ca-

nadian citizen! When 6 year old Kayden Rekken of Carlyle (formerly of Wawota) realized the plight of the Australian Wildlife due to the wildfires he decided to do something about it. His grandmother, Susan Rekken helped out by making over 200 cookies which were sold. Kayden’s goal was $50.00 but realized $740.00 which will be donated to the Australian Wildlife Preservation. This shows that age does not matter and one person can make a difference! Last Monday. January 27th which was Annual Lit-

eracy Day, the Wawota Library presented an evening of a cultural potluck meal and a 20 minute movie, “Hold the Ketchup”. Fifty people attended and there were many different dishes to try. It was a great evening and a great way to celebrate literacy and reading. Last Thursday January 30th, Kevin Zimmerman, District Manager of Canada Post presented Myrna Olson with a 15th year plaque. Although she started at the Post Office in 1988, the 15 year plaque was for the part time assistant position she currently holds.

They visited other relatives in and around the Edmonton area. The service for the week of Prayer for Christian Unity was hosted by the Glenavon United Church and held on Jan.

Welcome to the 20’s

2020… wow! This is great, we celebrate the new year every year and it’s always fun and exciting. But this year feels a bit different… a new decade. Symbolism of vision for the future… eyesight 20/20 and hindsight 20/20. The ‘20s… takes my mind to the 1920’s. I wonder if there was a similar heir of possibility on January 1, 1920. I wonder if anyone foresaw the things that would happen throughout that decade, one of the most monumental decades in every way. I love the 1920’s because this era of economic prosperity encouraged such signi¿cant changes in lifestyle and culture, fashion and wide spread love of style. It was really the birth of common placed desire for beautiful homes, and that is my thing! The Roaring ‘20s, so it was pegged. So many life changing inventions and events were made and occurred, from telephones, picture shows and radio to the explosion of the use of automobiles. Media really took off in the 20’s prompting mass market advertising. They focused on movie stars and sports heroes, largely. People were intrigued by the glamorous lifestyle that they saw, wanted to see more of it and began to desire the looks they saw in their own homes! The 20’s was a very glamorous era in fashion. It brought with it the Àapper era, beads, sequins, fringes and feathers as well as showy hats and gloves. In home decor we saw plentiful woods and richly colored fabrics that covered sofas and chairs as well as draperies. Think, The Great Gatsby. There was a wide use of area rugs not only for the look they provided, but for function, as the hardwood Àoors in most homes were cold. Rich color palettes were seen widely, with jade greens, taupe, dark rose and yellows being commonly put together and palettes of rose, tan, violet, green and ivorys. These colors not only upholstered furniture, but were painted on the walls and were seen in a wide use in wallpapers. Alongside the wood Àoors, came the use of boldly patterned linoleums, which was used in many homes. When I scroll through pictures of 1920’s homes and home decor it is quite evident that history repeats itself! The rebirth of wallpapers is very much a trend that we have seen come and go several times in the past century! Patterns and colors may change but the trend comes and goes every few decades and happens to be on trend right now! Patterned linoleums have also taken their turn in the spotlight and are hot, hot, hot, right now, although new vinyl plank Àoors have taken patterns and the still popular hardwood look and turned them into one very popular Àoor covering choice! Area rugs are back in a massive way, with so many people choosing hard Àoors throughout their homes. While they still help to warm up the space, they also have become a huge inÀuence in the overall style and look of your home. I always say that every home should have an average of 2 area rugs. The most popular rug locations being the centre of the living room, centering the room, and underneath the dining room table, bringing in color and keeping the crumbs in one place! It’s also nice to place an area rug underneath the edges of your bed so it’s the ¿rst thing your toes touch when you hop out of bed. Along with the above trends repeating themselves in more modern versions, expect to see repetition in furniture styles throughout the 2020’s as well. From the draping of rich fabrics such as velvets and ornate and classic wood accents we are seeing on sofas and accent chairs to the styles of new low pro¿le and simplistic bedroom sets, we are de¿nitely reminded of many of the styles of the 1920’s. I always say, there are only so many colors in the rainbow, so they all get their turn, and in the same way, fashion trends are recycled adding new twists to make them current by incorporating what we have learned to make the old new and improved. I predict that the 2020’s will see equal changes and advancements to those of the 1920’s in all areas from technology to culture. If we are smart, we will take hindsight 20/20, learning from our mistakes of the past and use our 20/20 eyesight to head into a new decade with the clearest of vision.

So til next time, it’s That Girl Shannon sayin, “If the 1920’s were roaring, let’s get these 2020’s rockin’!”

Kipling students send joey pouches to Australia By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

Kipling School’s Quilting Club has joined the Canadian Animal Rescue Craft Guild. Students collected flannelette, cotton and other soft fabrics to make items for the animals caught in the Australian wildfires. They are making “joey pouchesâ€? and “bat wrapsâ€? for orphaned and injured kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and bats. “We have joined the Canadian Animal Rescue Craft Guild consisting of 11,100 + members from across Canada to help the animals of Australia being aected by the wildfires,â€? explains Desi Harcourt, one of the organizers of this group. Sharon Baker is also helping out guide the students with their sewing skills. “We are making various sized joey pouches for orphaned and injured koalas and kangaroos, bat wraps for homeless bats and possum pouches,â€? explains Harcourt. Animal rescuers are going out to the burned out

areas of Australia looking for any surviving animals. They are finding some injured, but they are also finding that a lot of the koala and kangaroo moms have been killed. Inside their protective pouches the rescuers are finding joey koalas or kangaroos that have survived, most of them unharmed. The joeys are used to being in a pouch, so the rescuers put out a call for homemade pouches to house the orphans. The bats are being rescued from the trees and the bat wraps are similar to a tree branch so the bats will latch on, they are then wrapped up to be kept warm. There were several drop o hubs across Canada and Air Canada has sent six cargo jets full of veterinarian supplies as well as the items crafted by Canadians free of charge. “We have missed the deadline for the cargo planes but have been in contact with a traveler who is going to Australia next month,â€? explains Harcourt. “He has offered to drop off our crafts at a rescue

The school quilting club usually meets once a week at lunch or after school, but they have been working 3-4 times a week to make

pouches and wraps for the animals. All of the fabric used was donated by family members of the students. Donations of fabric and thread are greatly appreciated. The fabric does not have to be new, gently used sheets, t-shirts, sweatshirts etc. can be cut up and used. Contact Desi Harcourt at the Kipling School if you have questions or donations (306) 736-2464.

The chemistry of love Falling in love may seem like a mystery of the heart, but in fact, an array of chemicals and hormones are at play. According to scientists, there are three categories of romantic love: lust, attraction and attachment. Each of these categories is governed by its own cocktail of hormones and chemicals. LUST Testosterone and estrogen fuel lust, or the desire for sexual gratification. While it’s typically considered a male hormone, testosterone increases libido for just about everyone. This effect is less prominent with estrogen, but many women report being more aroused around the time they ovulate, when the hormone’s levels are highest. ATTRACTION High levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are at play in the initial stages of a romantic relationship. Dopamine is released when we do something that makes us feel good, in this case, spending time with someone. Norepinephrine, which also plays a part in the fight or flight response, makes us feel more alert and nervous. Together, these chemicals make people feel giddy, euphoric and energetic. They may also cause a decrease in appetite or the inability to sleep. ATTACHMENT Oxytocin and vasopressin are the hormones that make us feel connected and attached to another person. Together, they help people bond to one another and induce a desire to create a long-term, monogamous relationship.

How to use the language of flowers in your Valentine’s day bouquet and make for a milder gesture than red ones. They’re a nice choice if you don’t want to overwhelm a new love interest. • White roses stand for purity and innocence, making them a great choice for a friend, daughter or other relative.

The chemistry of love is complex and fascinating. Thankfully, understanding the forces at play makes it no less meaningful.

Flowers are ubiquitous on Valentine’s day, but few people realize that the various blooms in their bouquets are imbued with symbolic meaning. This year, consider using the language of flowers to let your sweetheart know you care. ROSES A classic choice for Valentine’s Day, roses can express different things depending on their colour. • Red symbolizes a deep, passionate love, which is why they’re ideal for a romantic partner. • Pink roses symbolize appreciation

TULIPS Beautiful but understated, tulips are a wonderful alternative to roses and also hold various meanings depending on their colour. In particular, red tulips are a symbol of passion and love. And because they last longer than other cut flowers, tulips also represent the longevity of your relationship.

When deciding what to do, make sure to choose something that will be fun for your entire group.

CELEBRATING WITH FRIENDS Why not use the holiday to celebrate the bonds of friendship? Avoid pricey, romantic restaurant options and instead consider:
