Bros. Chester perform for sellout crowd By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net Windthorst Community Arena organized their first ever cabaret held on Nov. 15 to a sold out crowd of 220. Following a tasty chicken supper catered by Charla Arnott, guests were invited to put on their dancing shoes! “Thank you to everyone,” says Ed Fahlman and adds “You have no idea how much it means to have you here,” It didn’t take long for the dancers to get up and cut a rug and the dance floor was full ‘til the final encore song. Bros. Chester bandmates Ed Fahlman (bass guitar), Mark Krull (rhythm guitar), Kevin Shultz (baritone guitar, mandolin, banjo) and their guest drummer Aaron Pritchard (of Regina) took over the stage at Windthorst Rec Centre. The anticipated sold-out show was celebrated by the large crowd of familiar faces while the band played a variety of country and classic rock. Bros. Chester gave the performance of a lifetime to their hometown, playing a variety of favourites by artists like Steve Earle, a handful of their favourite tunes by The Eagles as well as other rock songs and country songs from the early nineties. The group played a lot of two-steppin’ country songs throughout the night which people seemed to really enjoy. They looked like they were having a good time! This memorable performance put on by Windthorst’s local artists was

fantastic and will be one that they will remember. What do you find the most exciting or fun about playing back in front of a hometown crowd? “It’s a chance to see everybody,” says Fahlman. “Usually when we come home everybody is doing their own thing so you never really have a chance to talk to everyone. Even though we’re up here, we get to go down during the breaks and see and talk to everyone. That’s the best part,” he adds. Fahlman was asked when you’re coming to perform in your hometown are you more relaxed? “No just the opposite,” he explains “because I recognize every face I see. It’s not anonymous faces. I feel a bit more nervous when I’m playing in front

of everyone I know because they know who you really are and you can’t B.S. them!” “So when you’re telling stories, they totally know the truth!” says Fahlman with a little chuckle. “I find it’s sometimes easier to play in a more intimate setting rather than a cabaret,” explains Fahlman. “I tend to tell more stories in between songs but we can’t do that when a person’s waiting to dance to another song at a cabaret.” “Don’t get me wrong…. it was great that people danced non-stop,” says Fahlman. “It was tons of fun! I tend to talk a lot so I tried not to yammer too much between songs.” People are just waiting to hear what local you might tell a funny story about!

Fahlman says there’s no need to practice too much ahead of time because Aaron and Kevin are very good musicians. He does up a set and sends it to everyone so it’s organized chaos. All the guys have played for a lot of years. What’s next on the list for Bros. Chester? “We’re doing a gig at Kenosee Inn ‘Tibbs Eve Party’ on Dec. 23rd,” explains Fahlman “it’s a fundraiser for the Kenosee Lions Club for the Green Space at Kenosee.” “Local guy Chris Byrne will be doing some singing that evening as well,” says Fahlman. Watch for tickets. A number of draws were made throughout the evening leaving the main three draws until the end. A two-night stay in

Bros. Chester bandmates Mark Krull (rhythm guitar), Ed Fahlman (bass guitar), drummer Aaron Pritchard (of Regina) and Kevin Shultz (guitar) performed at Windthorst on Friday, Nov. 15th. Kenosee Inn was won by David Batters, breadmaker won by Terry Batters and a basket of booze won by Tim Talon. The lucky winner of the 50/50 draw totaling $1,600 was John King. Blair Arnott was on hand to present him with the winnings as Living Sky Co-op donated $1,000 towards the total. In the past the arena has seen some updates including new boards, rubber matting in dressing rooms, new lighting on the play surface and Zamboni repairs. They’re working towards a new scoreboard. Profits from this event totaling approximately $8,000 will be put towards rink maintenance, operation expenses and other projects and help in keeping the rink up-to-date. “We have not decided if

this will be an annual event but will be looking into a similar event in the future,” comments Dave Jones. “We feel Beach Volleyball has run its course and at this time have no plans to do it again,” says Jones on behalf of the committee. “Thanks to Bros. Chester for playing the event,” says Jones and adds “it’s good to have the home town guys back in Windthorst.” “Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the event … it was greatly appreciated!” adds Jones. The Windthorst Arena Board would like to thank everyone who came out to support the rink! Hats off to the committee for such a well organized event!

$15,000 donated from High marks for Bobby Vargo Saskatchewan in oil and gas profitability Memorial Tournament and competitiveness The province of Saskatchewan has received highly favourable rankings for profitability and competitiven ess in two separate, independent reports that assess oil and gas investment opportunities across North America. The 2019 Scotiabank Playbook, an annual report that analyzes the profitability of specific oil and gas resources, or “plays,” throughout Canada and the United States, ranked the Mission Canyon Frobisher/Alida play, located in Southeast Saskatchewan, as the best in North America. As well, in the Fraser Institute’s Canada-US Energy Sector Competitiveness Survey 2019, Saskatchewan was ranked by industry respondents as the most attractive jurisdiction for upstream oil and gas investment in Canada. “These two reports highlight Saskatchewan’s reputation as a highly competitive jurisdiction that offers a stable, lowrisk investment climate,” Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre

said. “This recognition aligns with our recently announced Growth Plan, which includes new oil production targets of up to 600,000 barrels per day by 2030 and an emphasis on increasing industry competitiveness and jobs.” Along with the Mission Canyon Frobisher/ Alida oil play, the Scotiabank Playbook ranked the Southwest Saskatchewan Cantuar oil play seventh, based on its leading metric of Profit Investment Ratio. As a result, in 2019, Saskatchewan has two of the top 10 plays and a total of seven plays ranked in the top 35. The Fraser Institute report indicated that Saskatchewan’s horizontal drilling royalty structure is considered an advantage by investors. It noted, however, that Bill C-69, Bill C-48, and the federal carbon tax continue to be perceived by the industry as discouraging investment in Canada. One survey respondent stated that lost revenue resulting from delayed or cancelled pipeline projects in Canada is “significant and can

never be recovered”. “Saskatchewan is a key jurisdiction for our members and these reports confirm it is among the most competitive in North America and an attractive place to invest,” Explorers and Producers Association of Canada President Tristan Goodman said. “The recently released Plan for Growth with key targets will help the province increase investment, ensure responsible development and grow more jobs well into the future.” Saskatchewan’s oil and gas producing industry contributes a significant share of the province’s real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), accounting for an estimated 15 per cent of the total. The industry continues to be the largest contributor among primary industries to provincial GDP. In 2018, the upstream oil and gas industry accounted for an estimated 34,675 direct and indirect person-years of employment, with investment in new exploration and development estimated at $4.5 billion.

Kipling Food Share Program Helping to Fill the Needs Dear Editor, For several years the Kipling Food Share has prepared and delivered hampers for those in need in the surrounding area during the Christmas Season. Many families have received assistance, some for only a single occasion, some for a longer period. The list is reviewed yearly, with names being removed or added as circumstances warrant. The Pastors of the various churches often suggest names of those they feel are in need. To protect the privacy of the individuals, names are never published. In order to ensure the recipients have their hampers well in advance of Christmas, it has been decided to collect the food and/or money during the first two weeks of December. Many of the congregations in the area will be collecting for their churches in November and first week in December. Those who wish to make donations outside the church structure; you are invited to do so in one of two ways. Boxes will be located at the grocery

stores in Kipling until December 11th to receive gifts of food and dry goods. If money is given, it can be taken to any of Kipling or Windthorst’s banking institutions for deposit to accounts and a receipt for tax purpose will be issued. On behalf of the Kipling Food Share, and particu-

larly the recipients of the hampers, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your continued support of all the people of the community. Merry Christmas and God Bless Sincerely, Terry and Marilyn Shackleton

The amount from the 2019 Bobby Vargo Memorial Slo Pitch tournament was $15,000.00. That makes the total for the three years that the Vargo Family

have been involved with minor ball at $44,000.00. All of that money has been designated to ball park improvements including new fencing, work on the

dugouts and diamonds. The 7 year total that has been raised as a result of the tournament by all the groups involved now totals $116,000.00.

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

Quality versus quantity in our spiritual lives by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

Two monks were doing their daily rituals. One got on his knees and prayed, “Oh master, I am nothing, I don’t exist, all there is, is You.” The other bowed even lower and said, “Oh great one, I am less than nothing! I don’t exist and I never did. You are all there is!” In the corner a janitor was watching and thinking, “Hmmm, that looks pretty good! I think I’ll try that.” He spoke, “Oh mighty one, I too am nothing, you are everything.” One monk said with disdain, “Humph! Look who suddenly thinks he’s nothing!” What is the ingredient of true piety? What is growth in

the love of God and what is not? Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange reminds us that “growth in the spiritual life is not quantitative—it doesn’t mean an increase in size, ‘like a heap of wheat.’” Rather, “spiritual growth is qualitative—the love of God ‘becomes stronger’ and ‘takes deeper root’ in our souls.” In other words Garrigon says, “when we advance in the spiritual life, we don’t just love God more, but more deeply.” As regards the number of works we perform, “it is not the amount of our acts that pleases God, but the fervor with which we perform them—not the quantity, but the quality,” Garrigon says. (from Nicholas Senz, “Pope St John Paul II’s teacher gave this warn-

ing about prayer”) Applying this to our prayer life, it is not the sheer number of prayers we say that brings us closer to God. It is the fervour with which we pray and the love of God we experience in the exchange. A husband and wife strengthen their love by generous actions toward each other, not by a larger number of imperfect activities they may share. Giving your heart to God in prayer is not the same as repeating the Lord’s prayer one hundred times. How do we make this more perfect relationship with God happen? By recognizing the places where God can meet us. The earth is full of “Gateways to heaven” as

we see in Genesis 28:10-22. Jacob sleeps with his head on a common rock and has a dream. When he awakes Jacob says, “Surely the Lord is in this place … This is non other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven”. Then he set the rock on a pillar, poured oil on it, and called the place Bethel. Just as Jacob called this place “God’s house”, we can have a favorite place to meet with God in prayer. It may be in a quiet part of our home or a spot in nature. The world is full of places to meet God since God is everywhere. It is easy to create a place of habitual prayer in our daily lives. It may be the presence of a religious icon,

Science will open doors to producing energy By Calvin Daniels cdaniels@sasktel.net

While I appreciate there are those who have begun to doubt science, I for one am a believer that our future as a planet lies solely with what science can create in the coming years to deal with whatever issues we face. That will be particularly true in agriculture. Unless some disaster arises to alter the course we know the population of earth continues to trend upward, and there is not even a whisper of discussion that the world needs to address that trend in some meaningful way. So there will be a growing number of mouths to feed. That means a continued need for world food stocks to grow. Food production only occurs by the scientific development of better crop varieties and the development of better cropping systems to enhance yields at an affordable cost of production. It’s the same thing when it comes to our energy needs. Science will open doors to producing energy in ways we can barely imagine. We know, for example, that animal waste creates methane. It is a by-product of intensive production that has been red-flagged as a concern in terms of producing greenhouse gases, although whether a big dairy herd produces more than the millions of bison which once roamed North America, but that is another column all together. Clearly there is a need to deal with methane production from livestock today in the face of concerns over climate change. So it was with great interest that I read a recent Western Producer article of the methane from a 2,900 cow dairy herd in California being collected and ultimately used to power a fleet of trucks. Using methane to power a truck is not new, but connecting its production to a cattle farm, is at least a rather innovative approach, and one that could reasonably be copied at other farms, or even municipal sewage plants, if the cost can reasonably be recouped. Of course innovative energy production is popping up all over the place. There has been work incorporating solar panels into asphalt highways, an idea that on the surface is brilliant in the sense black asphalt attracts heat and the potential, if it works could be immense. Of course it only works if science works out the idea. Then there is the idea of energy from flowing water in a place that is not exactly on the top of anyone’s list. Since 2015, the city of Portland has been partnering with LucidEnergy to install electricity-generating turbines in its gravity-fed water pipes. Again, it’s innovative and something which could be replicated across multiple municipalities. Challenges will be many as we move forward and we need to be supportive of the scientific community in finding the answers.

Senior Girls’ Volleyball take bronze at Provincials Submitted by Susan Long

The Senior Girls’ Volleyball team attended 3A Provincials in Assiniboia on November 15th and 16th. In their pool of 5 for the round robin they played Esterhazy, La Loche, Canora and Lanigan to finish first in the pool. Saturday in the quarterfinals they crossed over to play Punnichy and defeated them in 2 sets. This put them up against Oxbow in the semi-final. This was just like playing the gold medal match as the play went back and forth continuously between the 2 evenly matched teams. It went right down to the wire with Oxbow winning in the third set 16-14. With the loss this put Kipling in

the Bronze medal match against Unity. Kipling easily defeated Unity to win the Bronze medal at 3A Girls’ Provincials! The only match Kipling lost all weekend was the semi-final. Congratulations to the team on a very successful season as well as the Bronze to end the year! A heartfelt thank-you goes out to the 6 players who will be graduating in June: Kenzie Balon, Irelend Biette, Reagan Nicholson, Savannah Perras, Ciera Romanow, and Alicia White. You have helped accomplish in your years of senior volleyball what has never happened in Kipling Girls’ volleyball: 2 medals in 3 years! Thank you for the support people gave us this year. It was greatly appreciated.

Winter weights taking effect soon Check the Hotline for updates

Colder weather leads to benefits for the trucking industry as harder surfaces allow heavier loads to be shipped. “As a land-locked province, the trucking industry plays a major role in getting our exports to market,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “Winter weight

season allows shippers to haul heavier loads on secondary-highways, resulting in fewer trips and cost savings for the industry.” Winter weights are put in place annually from about mid-November to mid-March. Because the road bed freezes during this period, it is stronger and can withstand heavier truck loads without being damaged. Typically, winter weights allow truckers to carry up to 15-20 per cent

more payload on secondary highways than what can be carried during the summer. Restrictions on the winter weights can be in effect from November 16 to 30 and also from March 1 to 14. When temperatures rise and roadbeds remain soft, the ministry may remove winter weights in some areas. Commercial truckers and shippers are encouraged to check the status regularly at www.saskatchewan.ca/ truckingweights.

To find the latest road restriction orders online, visit www.saskatchewan. ca/highwayhotline, follow us on Twitter @SkGovHwyHotline and look for #skweights or call the Hotline at 511. For technical and regulatory information, commercial carriers can contact the Inquiry Line weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 1-866-933-5290 in Saskatchewan or 306-933-5290 outside the province.

It’s that time again! Wish lists are being made. There are many options out there for those searching for the ‘perfect present’. But, if you live in a small town, you have the opportunity to enjoy shopping

at a truly unique market place. The Holiday Fair held in Kipling last Saturday has become an annual tradition for many years. This event not only lets holiday shoppers find truly unique gifts...it also serves as an important fundraiser for the Band Parents Association. It allows artisans and

home-based vendors the chance to showcase their wares. As soon as the doors opened holiday shoppers filled the aisles between vendors in the Kipling Community Centre and the Kipling School gymnasium to shop local for the upcoming Christmas season at the 2019 Holiday

There were plenty of crafts to pick from at the 2019 Holiday Fair. Cindy and Jason Green of Lampman look after a table for a friend (Dianne Ecklund) selling Precious Gem H2O Bottles. Fair. Visitors to the Holiday Fair were greeted with a blend of aromas from inside both locations. Food vendors filled their tables with a variety of homemade cookies, holiday baking including squares, tarts, fruit cakes and specialty baked items including baklava and many mouth-watering

desserts. Shoppers had the chance to select from a variety of items including one-of-a-kind paintings, knitted mitts, baking utensils, signs, skin products and much, much more! Those who attended the fair found a wide selection of items to choose from. Once the holiday shop-

ping was finished, it was great to sit and relax taking in a soup and sandwich lunch with dessert at the Holiday Fair. So, by all means, check out your options as you carry on with your holiday shopping. That ‘perfect gift’ might be waiting for you to find... right here at home.

Walking in a winter wonderland!” This Christmas season, the Kipling Entrepreneurs Group members have been working together to bring some Christmas magic to the community, welcoming our neighbours to join in the fun! On Saturday, November 30th, a series of festivities have been planned for children of all ages, young and young at heart, for a memorable second annual Winter Wonderland. Christmas is just around the corner! With all of the crazy, busy, hustle bustle of the winter holiday, people are forgetting to stop to throw a snowball, to take in the beautiful white landscape, to enjoy the magic of the Christmas season! Businesses and clubs alike have stepped up to help make this Christmas extra special, donating their time, creating activities, providing food and beverage and funding for the day-long events. Winter Wonderland is bringing a few new activities to this year’s celebration. To start off the day of events, bundle up for the first ever Winter Wonderland Parade at 11:30 am.

Vicky is survived by her daughter Joanne and son-in-law Fred Cunningham and by her grandchildren Ian and Alex (Matt) and 2 great grandsons, Roan and Ari. She is also survived by her sisters Rhoda, Lois and Elaine; brother Vernon and good friend John. She was predeceased by her brothers Harold, Dave, Garnet and Lloyd and sisters Merle and Ruth.

Prairie Valley Board of Education recognizes Local Government Week The Prairie Valley Board of Education recognized Local Government Week, which was proclaimed for the first time in 2018 and ran November 11 to 16, 2019. “Recognizing Local

Government Week provides an opportunity for the Prairie Valley Board of Education to increase awareness and engagement in the systems of local democracy,� said Janet Kotylak, Board Chair.

“The Board believes the purpose of public education is to not only graduate students, but also to grow educated, contributing and caring citizens and who understand and participate in our democratic system.�

School boards are locally elected to govern K-12 education in their school divisions. The most fundamental responsibility of school boards is to bring the voice of the public to publicly funded education.

“ T h e P r a i r i e Va l l e y Board of Education has prioritized school community council and community engagement in education in the 2019-2020 Strategic Plan. We are also working to strengthen governance relationships with First Nations and MĂŠtis partners,â€? Kotylak said. “And an additional area of focus the Board has added this year is parent and family engagement.â€? Over time, the Board has heard from Division experts that parent/guardian and family engagement in a child’s education is key to their success. “We plan to highlight the good work happening in the Division through a number of channels, including our Celebrate! newsletter and social media,â€? Kotylak explains. School boards are elected to govern K to Grade 12 education in their school divisions and are essential members of local government. They ensure that the wishes of the community are reflected in the division’s schools and make

decisions that shape the education of Saskatchewan’s children. According to the Saskatchewan School Boards Association, there are 246 locally elected trustees in Saskatchewan. Approximately 48 per cent are women, 52 per cent are men and 11.8 per cent are self-declared Aboriginal Members. Prairie Valley School Division is governed by a 10 member elected Board, each representing a subdivision. Once elected to the Board, Board members work as part of a team serving all students and communities. “In Prairie Valley School Division, our Board is committed to open and transparent governance and a culture of accountability,� said Kotylak. “Through our strategic plan, budget, year-end financial and performance reports, student senates, attendance at school and community events and communication through the year, board members help to build trust and confidence in locally elected governments.�
