Lifelong skills learned through power skating By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

“Huge thanks to some of our very own hometown talent who have graciously volunteered to help out our kids at this Powerskating Clinic. Austin Bourhis who played in the WHL and Logan Dew who played in the SJHL helped out on the ice,” comments Ashley Caouette who organized this event. The Power Skating School was held at the Kipling Arena a few weeks ago with instructor Derek Serdachny out of Yorkton. Caouette started planning for this event in October and Serdachny was available. “I absolutely thought it was necessary to have a power skating clinic here in Kipling,” explains Caouette. “The way that he skates is just phenomenal. What my boys learned this summer from him … I wanted all the kids to learn that. Derek gives the kids confidence and he requires strict discipline, the kids respond well to him. I thought this would be great for Kipling and there’s a lot of out-of-town kids here as well.” Twenty-seven skaters and a goalie took part. There were kids from Kipling, Carlyle, Redvers, Whitewood, Sedley and Montmartre attending. The kids were divided up into two different age groups with each group receiving three hours of instruction. Derek Serdachny is a knowledgeable instructor with 14 years of experience coaching and instructing students in Canada and internationally. Derek worked with Steve Serdachny’s Elite Powerskating for seven years, instructing in Hamilton, Edmonton, Regina, Sweden, and Finland. He brings this knowledge to Yorkton and surrounding areas where he is the powerskating

Derek Serdachny and his helpers led instruction all day a week ago Friday teaching the kids valuable skills on the ice. coach for the SJHL Yorkton Terriers. He runs camps for Yorkton Minor Hockey and surrounding communities throughout Saskatchewan. He also offers private and team lessons. Serdachny grew up and played minor hockey in Yorkton. He continued his hockey career at the Junior A level with the Yorkton Terriers. This is where he earned a scholarship to NCAA Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York. While attending Manhattanville College, he completed his Bachelor of Arts majoring in History and minoring in Psychology and English. He then completed his Bachelor of Education at the University of Regina and now is the Vice Principal and teacher at Churchbridge Public School. Skaters attending learned

on ice training skills such as forwards and backwards acceleration, improving speed and quickness, efficient tight turns and pivots, skating efficiency and stride lengthening, skating technique, speed with and without the puck, agility and lateral mobility, increased endurance, parachute training and skating and resistance. “Growing up in small Saskatchewan communities, ice was always available, however knowledge for training of the game was not,” explains Serdachny. This is where Derek and his hockey camps come into play. All levels of hockey have transformed into all speed and skill. If you can’t skate, you can’t play. Derek and his staff have the knowledge and commitment in getting you 20013JJ0

to the next level for skating and hockey skills. Footwork, edges, and stick skills not only improve, but they obtained knowledge and ideas of different drills and exercises to take along with them to continue to work on. “Every kid loves taking the puck and shooting the puck, and that’s what kids really love to do, but it’s hard to shoot the puck when you can’t get there. And someone else is getting there before you,” comments Serdachny. “Skating is one of most, if not the most, important skill when it comes to hockey. That’s what we work on. We focus on puck work and moves, and stick handling and things like that. With the younger kids we’re trying to focus on technique and how to skate properly. Just working on trying to teach them what they’re doing now and how they can get better. More practice but also the right type of practice. Learn the proper way from the beginning. Even after taking a

day clinic such as this one, their skills have improved 100%!” “The biggest thing is kids like to stand up when they get tired and the whole point of generating power is when you bend your knees. When you bend your knees and you lengthen your stride and you’re pushing at a 45 degree angle you’re going to get a lot more power. With the younger kids something as simple as skating with two hands on your stick. That’s not going to help you especially when you don’t have the puck. You should be using your arms to generate speed and coordination. I’m hoping to bring some of my knowledge when I took power skating to the kids now. I like teaching. I like working with kids.” “And the loud voice helps out too!” he adds. “I know Dasher (Derek) from my time playing in Yorkton so I know he knows what he’s doing out there with the kids and power skating,” comments Austin Bourhis who was

one of the volunteer helpers out on the ice. “I’m kind of always looking for opportunities to volunteer or help out with hockey, and it’s especially nice to do it back home in Kipling,” explains Bourhis on why he volunteered his time. “Learning the fundamentals of skating and power skating is so important at a minor hockey age and needs to be constantly worked on and improved for as long as you play. It never stops.” “This was a great opportunity for these kids to get some effective power skating coaching from someone who knows what they’re doing. Kudos to Ashley Caouette for taking initiative and organizing this for the kids,” says Bourhis. “I’d love to have Derek come back again. Someone from another town heard about it and want to book him as well. I’ve heard positive things from a lot of parents already,” comments Caouette.

KW Oil Kings lose to the Midale Mustangs By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

KW Oil Kings welcomed Midale Mustangs to the Windthorst Arena on January 10th. The Mustangs took an early lead with one goal scored early in the first period and would go on to score a second one before

the period was over. The Oil Kings would score their first goal in period one by Derek Bachert, assisted by Carson Harcourt and James Schaefer. Each team took a two minute penalty in the first period. The Oil Kings would go on to score their second goal early in the second

period by Rodney Reid, assisted by James Gallagher and Dean Barath. That was the only goal scored in the second period. The Oil Kings would take four more minor penalties in the second with the Mustangs being assessed one minor. The Mustangs would go on to score an additional

five goals in the third period winning the game by a score of 7 to 2. And that’s when the game got ugly! During the third period the Oil Kings were assessed 4 more penalties. At one point the Oil Kings were playing with three players holding o the Mustangs from scoring. Thanks again to goalie Austin Toth on his

performance. Benches in the penalty boxes were kept warm throughout the third period as Midale Mustangs would also be assessed 9 penalties. Both teams took 10 min Game Misconducts, Roughing, Boarding and Body Checking penalties. The Oil Kings were assessed a total of 34 penalty minutes and the Mustangs

a total of 62 minutes. As for shots taken, it was a total of 35 for the KW Oil Kings and 44 for Midale Mustangs. Your KW Oil Kings are on the road this weekend – Jan. 17 in Redvers and Jan. 18 in Midale. Their next home game is January 31 in Windthorst Arena against Yellow Grass at 8:00 pm.

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

Holy Innocents, Beatitudes and Weeping for Justice by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.” (Matthew 2:13-19) During this past Christmas season, as every year, we find ourselves appalled at the actions of Herod on the Feast of the Holy Innocents. Babies, and in some cases family members who resisted, were slaughtered by the brutal soldiers. The white-robed army of martyrs praise God. They witness not with words but with their blood. God prepared them for victory and shared His kingdom with them. The slaughter of innocents continues today around the world. The leading cause of death world-wide in 2019 was abortion. Some 42 million victims! In comparison, some 8.2 million died of cancer, some 13 million of diseases. (statistics compiled by Worldometers). 55 million abortions have been performed in the United States since Roe vs Wade in 1973. One graphic scenario pictures it this way: a bell tolls for every one million American babies killed by abortion. The bell continues to sound. States begin to disappear repeatedly representing the population lost: Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho,

Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. To visualise this, if your geography is as bad as mine, these states stretch from Washington in the West (excluding California) to Wisconsin in the East (as far as the Great Lakes), to Oklahoma and Arkansas in the South. In “Our Hearts Weep for Justice” Father Brendan McGuire addresses abortion: “Our hearts ought to cry for that reality of suffering. Whether we are pro-choice or pro-life we ought to cry and weep for the millions of children who are killed before they even have a chance at life; even in the latest term of life that they can literally be killed. “Our hearts ought to bleed and weep for that reality. And not sit by and pretend it is a political reality. That is a human travesty; a human indignity that happens now more than ever.” McGuire goes on to discuss the endless other types of suffering: the homeless, the broken, the hurt, the abused, and the list goes on. We ought to shed a tear for these, he says. The Gospel says, “Blessed are those who weep” for the suffering that happens. And we ought to pray! We ought to allow this weeping to soften our hearts. As Jeremiah says, “If we can remain close to the Lord and

Kipling Rec Report Submitted by Susan Hengen, Recreation Programmer Hats off to the planning committee of Kipling School’s Wellness Days, held January 8 (Grades 1-6) and January 15 (Grades 7-12). Students were involved in a variety of sessions, all enhancing personal wellness. What a great start to 2020! Chair Yoga For Seniors is held on Mondays at 1:30 p.m. at the Kipling Friendship Club. Classes are 30 minutes in length, and involve stretching to enhance participants’ strength and flexibility. As these classes are suited to aging participants, all activities are done in a chair – no floor work is required. The classes are offered free of charge and are an initiative of Kipling & District Parks and Recreation, with support from the Community Initiatives Fund. Everyone welcome! Older Adult Fitness Sessions are on at the Kipling Friendship Club on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. - 50 minutes of light cardio and strength, balance and flexibility training. There is no charge to participate, and the benefits are great. One of the biggest benefits of regular exercise in older adults is fall prevention. Regular exercise assists in preventing falls by strengthening muscles and bone density; adding mobility to joints and muscles; improving balance, coordination and agility; and strengthening the heart and lungs and improving circulation. The result is a person who is able to do their day to day activities with less fatigue, discomfort and strain. Anyone interested in curling on Mondays at 1:30 p.m. is welcome to join the 49ers Curling group – you don’t have to be 49 yrs or older, and you don’t have to register ahead of time. For more information, contact Karen Bernat at (306) 736-8336. The Annual 49ers Bonspiel will be held January 20-22 at the Kipling Curling Club. Entry fee is $120/team ($30/ curler) – call Karen Bernat (306) 736-8336 or Marlene Gies (306) 736-2322 to register. FitKids is back for 2020, running on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Kipling School Gym, from 3:30-4:30

p.m. The program began on Tuesday, January 7 for children in Kindergarten to Grade 6. This year, parents must sign their child up for all sessions they intend on attending through an online link, as we have limited the number of participants. Parents and guardians can sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a054fabae2ba4f94fitkids . Children are required to wear running shoes and bring a water bottle – no food is allowed. FitKids is an initiative of Kipling & District Parks and Recreation, supported by the Community Initiatives Fund. Kipling’s Jr. NBA Program (formerly the Steve Nash Youth Basketball Program) will be running on Fridays, from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in the Kipling School Gym, beginning January 17. We are still in need of volunteers interested in coaching the program this winter. The program will be offered to boys and girls, grades 2-6, if sufficient coaches can be found. As a coach, you are supplied with practice plans for the duration of the program. Anyone offering to assist with this program should call Susan at the Rec Office (306) 736-8440 or email kip.park.rec@ sasktel.net. Kipling’s Youth Curling Program continues on Mondays from 3:45-4:45 p.m. for Grades 1-3, and on Wednesdays from 3:45-5:15 p.m. for Grades 4-6 at the Kipling Curling Club. Through the Youth Curling Program, kids learn the basics of the game, with lots of opportunity to play. The program is offered at no cost, as it is an initiative of Kipling & District Parks and Recreation; however, kids are expected to bring a broom and runners and a slider if they have one. Children born in 2016 are invited to attend IMPACT – Kipling Early Childhood Fair on Monday, February 10 at 4:30 p.m. at the Kipling School. The event is hosted by Regional KidsFirst and the Kipling Public Library. Children attending will enjoy a variety of fun, interactive activity stations, each geared to boost their development. Register and get all the details by calling Kipling School at (306) 736-2464.

allow these things to change us, then we will be like a tree that sits beside a river; that it always bears fruit.” In many cities and small towns I have visited, I have noticed a rock or monument to those who have died from abortion. That is when I say a little prayer. “Blessed are those who shed tears for those who are broken”. Compassion is God’s greatest gift to us. Tenderness of heart makes us most like Jesus. The translation of “blessed” in some lists of beatitudes is “happy”, and the opposite of beatitude is “misery”. Blessed are those who weep, for they shall be comforted. And blessed are they who work for justice, they shall be called the children of God.

Is going electric the answer? By Calvin Daniels cdaniels@sasktel.net

I must say I am fascinated when I see a headline asking ‘Are we ready for electric tractors?’ To begin with I am among those who believe, given a natural progression of things, the world will move toward less internal combustion engines burning gasoline and diesel. That does not mean a complete shutdown of such fuel sources, but rather opting where possible for cleaner alternatives. It’s actually a winning vision in the sense any conversion actually extends the life expectancy of non-renewable fuel sources which means having them for critical uses where they prove the best option – passenger airplanes coming to mind as perhaps a key area that will long require fossil fuels. But that swerves me away from the starting premise of whether electric tractors are viable? Certainly electric tractors are possible. Technologies exist today. The question is more about how the cost of electric tractors compare to more traditional power sources? And, do they do the job as efficiently? The idea of tractors roving fields with essentially long, retractable extension cords attached seems a tad strange, but at one time the mere idea of tractors taking over from horses was seen as fantasy, and I am sure my grandfather, were he alive, would stand in some awe at the sheer size of today’s largest farm tractors. It is likely, as farming evolves toward electric power tractors, units are going to be smaller, the equipment smaller as well, with the technology being married to autonomous controls. It seems the most logical to go smaller, but have the ability to program the unit to run without an ‘on the seat’ operator, for much longer hours. For an industry that has been going in a directly opposite direction, farm units growing ever-larger, with horsepower of tractors and the width of equipment growing to match the additional acres. The idea of smaller will be a near paradigm shift for many producers, who have over the last several decades seen tractors get bigger and bigger with every purchase made. Farmers are also going to question whether electric can deliver the needed power, although that will be a factor dealt with by smaller equipment in my mind. It comes down to seeing two smaller units at work over longer hours covering the same acres, a system that works depending on the overall associate costs of both systems. Like most developments, from the growing of canola to zero-till farming, a few farmers will need to be early adopters of the technology, the in-field provers of the concept, and then electric will find its place in the farm sector.

Sask Provincial Parks offer fun winter experiences! Winter in Saskatchewan is a time to get cozy by a fire, connect with family and enjoy outdoor activities like tobogganing,

snowshoeing and ice-fishing. This winter, many Saskatchewan Provincial Parks will be hosting events to help Saskatchewanians

embrace the winter season! “Winter is a great time to enjoy Saskatchewan Provincial Parks,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said. “Our parks boast world-class trails for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing and with the variety of events planned all over our province this winter, we should be reminded that Saskatchewan Provincial Parks are open to be enjoyed all year.” There are events being offered by Sask Parks this winter including a skating loop through the campground at Echo Valley Provincial Park, a Candle-lit Ski at Moose Mountain Provincial Park and several Winter Fun Day events can be found at www. saskparks.com by clicking on Ac-

tivities, or by following SaskParks on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/saskparks/. Visitors are encouraged to use #saskparks when posting photos in provincial parks this winter. A valid park vehicle entry permit is

required to visit provincial parks year-round. The purchase of a Saskatchewan Provincial Parks Annual Entry Permit is a great way to enjoy park activities and events both in the summer and in the winter.

Protect yourself to ensure safety on ice this winter With the arrival of colder temperatures, the Government of Saskatchewan reminds everyone to make

sure that ice is safe and thick enough before walking or driving on it. Ice thickness depends on the particular

waterbody and the local conditions. It does not freeze at a uniform thickness and ice strength can vary con-

siderably from one area to another. To be sure, check the ice thickness before you travel on it. As a guideline, you need at least 10 cm (four inches) of ice to walk on, 20 cm (eight inches) to drive a snowmobile or ATV on, 30 cm (12 inches) to drive a car or light truck on, and more than 30 cm (12 inches) to support a heavy truck. Be aware that any activity on ice has risks. Guidelines are provided to help individuals make a decision about whether to venture on to the ice. Thickness is just one

consideration when evaluating ice safety. Clear, hard ice is the only ice recommended for travel. Also avoid ice that: • looks slushy; • has thawed, then frozen again; • is near moving water; • is layered, caused by sudden temperature changes; or • has structures on it, such as pressure ridges. For more information about ice fishing, visit www. saskatchewan.ca/fishing to view the 2018 Saskatchewan Anglers’ Guide. In comparison to lake

ice, river ice is often more hazardous and inconsistent, particularly downstream of dams when winter releases are being made. The Water Security Agency is currently releasing water from Grant Devine Lake on Moose Mountain Creek and Reid Lake on Swift Current Creek. There is also flow throughout the Qu’Appelle and Saskatchewan river systems. These flows would impact the formation the ice covers and these areas should be avoided as conditions can change significantly over short distances. 20013PS0 20013PS1

Play. Learn. Grow. Together! Provides parents and caregivers with tools to promote early learning From newborns to kindergarteners, Saskatchewan’s youngest residents learn at an astonishingly fast rate. Studies show 90 per cent of a child’s brain will be developed by age five, before they ever set foot in a school. That means how families interact and teach their children during those earliest years of life will lay the foundation for their success decades later. “Our government understands the value of investing in children during

their early years,� Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said. “By providing families and caregivers with useful information and tips, we can assist them in fostering creativity, confidence and skills in their young children that will last a lifetime.� Parents and caregivers will have access to Play. Learn. Grow. Together! - a new website, interactive social media presence and series of informational videos to get parents think-

ing about simple and easy ways they can interact with their young child to assist in their development and education. Additional tips and videos from our team of early learning experts will be added over time, allowing Play. Learn. Grow. Together! to evolve into a long term, reliable source of early years educational advice. Funding for this new public outreach is being provided through the Canada-Saskatchewan Early Learning and Child Care

Initiative. Interacting with young children and babies is the key to their development, and it can have a pro-

foundly positive lifelong impact. And the best part? It’s easy, and it’s fun. So get ready to Play. Learn. Grow. Together! by visiting www.

Saskatchewan continues to grow Saskatchewan’s population grew by another 4,195 people in the third quarter of 2019, to an all-time high of 1,178,657 people. This represents the 54th consecutive quarter of population growth in Saskatchewan. “Saskatchewan continues to enjoy the longest and strongest period of sus-

tained population growth since the 1920s,� Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Since our government took office in 2007, Saskatchewan has now grown by nearly 170,000 people.� Last month, Premier Scott Moe released the government’s new Growth Plan to ensure the 2020s

are another decade of strong growth for the province. “Our new Growth Plan includes goals of 1.4 million people living in Saskatchewan and 100,000 more jobs in our province by 2030,� Harrison said. “More people, jobs and opportunities means a better quality of life for everyone who calls Saskatchewan home.�

Do Gift Cards have additional fees? With gift cards being a popular holiday gift choice, the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) wants consumers to know the rules surrounding gift cards and their usage. Consumers often have concerns surrounding fees, expiration and redemption. Here are some tips to know when using gift cards: • There are no additional fees. Gift cards, unlike credit cards, should not have post purchase activation fees, usage fees, or annual/monthly payments. • Gift cards can’t expire, except for a few exceptions. Gift cards that are purchased and sold in Saskatchewan don’t have expiration dates. The only time an expiry date is allowed on a gift card is if you received the card after making a donation to a charity or nothing of value was provided to obtain the card. (For example, free promotional gift cards distributed for advertising

purposes can have expiry dates). • Use your gift cards promptly. If a store goes out of business, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to recover the value from your card. • When buying a gift card, make sure to read the fine print. By reading the fine print, you will know all the limits the card has prior to purchase. For more information, visit http://fcaa.gov.sk.ca/ consumers-investors-pension-plan-members/consumers/consumers-of-goods-and-services/gift-cards. Contact Consumer Protection Division The Consumer Protection Division may be able to help consumers with gift card disputes. Consumers can call toll free at 1-877-880-5550 or by email at consumerprotection@gov.sk.ca.

Burn calories, not cash this winter At this time of year, gym memberships are often top of the mind for consumers and the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) receives an increased number of inquiries about them. Some consumers may not ask the right questions or fully read the contract before signing up for a membership, and encounter problems later on regarding cancellation

rights, membership packages, and extra programs and services included in a membership. Here are some tips to consider before signing a gym membership contract: • Make sure you’ve read the entire contract and understand the terms and conditions. By law, your gym contract must not exceed two years in length. • Find out the total cost of your member-

ship, including the regular fees for programs and services. Remember to ask questions if you don’t understand something. • Know that you have the right to cancel your contract within seven business days of receiving a written copy. You may also be able to cancel if: • you move more than 30 km away from

your home gym or one of its other locations; • you experience material physical, medical, or mental changes supported by your medical practitioner that would make gym participation unreasonable; or • there are material changes in the services being provided, or if the facility moves more than 10 km from its former location.
