Conservative Robert Kitchen earns a lopsided victory in Souris-Moose Mountain By Ana Bykhovskaia of the Estevan Mercury

Robert Kitchen of the Conservative Party will represent the Souris-Moose Mountain constituency for a second term. With 190 of 192 polls reporting, Kitchen had 33,932 of the 40,180 votes cast, or 84.4 per cent. There are 51,957 eligible voters in Souris-Moose Mountain, meaning Kitchen received over 65 per cent of support from eligible voters in the riding. Kitchen’s office was packed Monday night, as local conservative supporters, his team and family came to be with their candidate when poll results were being announced. Many were wearing traditional blue along with conservative pins. “I feel great. We worked hard. It wasn’t just me, it was my team that made this happen. None of this gets done unless you become a team,” said Kitchen in an interview with the Mercury when it became clear that he would be the winner. In his speech, he first of all thanked his supporters and his wife. He also extended his gratitude to his campaign manager, people who ran the office and all the volunteers. “It’s just a tremendous thing, so I can’t thank them enough. It makes you smile a lot more,” said Kitchen, also thanking other members of his family, some of whom helped with the campaign, and his opponents. “Credit to them for any opponents that put their

name on the line and stand up for an opinion they believe in. I can’t say enough to them for taking that opportunity. Because Canada, the great country that we have, it gives us that opportunity for all of us to speak our opinions and provide what we believe is the right thing for our constituency.” Kitchen said that during his campaign he put over 11,000 kilometres on his truck and that’s not it, as he and the volunteers now need to go back and pick up all the signs. Kitchen had the largest margin of victory in Saskatchewan in this election and the strongest support in Souris-Moose Mountain since its inception in 1988. He had a lead of at least 30,836 votes, with the runner-up NDP candidate Ashlee Hicks being at 3,096 votes after 98.96 per cent poll reports were accounted. “That’s fantastic, and that’s what I worked hard to do. I want to show everybody, and I want to show my leader, this is the strongest support. And it is here, and it’s done, because of the good things we do. Our agriculture, our oil and gas … our coal and our mining. These people are caring. And it’s not just here in Estevan. It’s in Coronach. It’s throughout this whole riding,” said Kitchen. “Bottom line is that when I’m sitting in that seat in Ottawa and I’m speaking in Ottawa, I want to make sure that I’m speaking from what the majority of my constituency wanted.”

Robert Kitchen won the elections in Souris-Moose Mountain for the second consecutive time in the Oct. 21 Photo by Anastasiia Bykhovskaia federal election. He pointed out that these supporters and the industries they are involved with will be his top priority in Ottawa. “I believe that when I sit in Ottawa, and I’ve said this many, many times, and I will continue to say that, that seat in Ottawa doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to you, each and every one of you in this riding,” said Kitchen. “My job is to be that mouthpiece sitting in that seat … People don’t give us credit for the green stewardship that our farmers do

from the greenhouse gas emission point. They don’t give us credit for the great work that our CCS (carbon capture and storage facility) does. With the fly ash that we produce with both of our power plants, we are reducing the emissions that come out of the cement companies. They are one of the biggest emitters of green gas emissions and fly ash helps reduce them. So we need that credit. People need to talk about that more.” Until the final federal

results were in, Kitchen refrained from any comments on the results. However, there were some strong reactions in the office during the night of the election. The unexpected defeat of high-profile Liberal MP Ralph Goodale and subsequent conservative Michael Kram’s victory in the Regina-Wascana riding was greeted with a big round of applause. Even though the general atmosphere in the office was very positive as people were

celebrating the fact that their preferred candidate and party will represent their interests in the parliament, the general preliminary election results were somewhat frustrating for many of those present. The future will show how the newly elected government with the Liberal minority and a comfortable lead, and Justin Trudeau remaining in the prime minister’s seat, will play out and where it will get Canada over the course of this term.

Hallowe’en Carnival: A Spooktacular Event! By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

It’s getting close to Hallowe’en and the kids are waiting anxiously to dress up in their Hallowe’en gear, ready to scare, laugh, play games and collect as much sugar-filled candy as possible! An evening of entertainment, unique games and tempting treats are exactly what the kids needed. Each year the Kipling KidCare organizes an evening of fun and games to raise funds for the KidCare facility. On Friday, Oct. 18, countless families celebrated in great Hallowe’en fashion at the Kipling School Gym, making this annual event successful yet again. Children of all ages arrived dressed in their Hallowe’en best. The annual Hallowe’en Carnival has been held for over 10 years although this is Kipling KidCare’s 3rd year of coordinating the event. Approximately 170 kids (plus adults) came out to enjoy a night of games including bean bag tosses, bowling, darts, ring toss games, ghost bowling, “boo” basketball and a skeleton shooting range to name a few. Every player was a winner, candy and party toys were the prize. Students from Kipling School volunteered for the evening. At the door parents and kids had a chance to win prizes out of 49 raffle prizes that were donated. “It is because of the generous donations and support from businesses, along with the daycare families involvement and donations that makes this carnival such a huge success for us every year. Thank you!” comments Holly Heikkila,

Board Chair of Kipling KidCare. The Kipling KidCare raised a total of $3500 this year. “It was a very successful carnival,” comments Heikkila and adds “The carnival turnout always seems to hold steady around that 170 mark. This is our 2nd year doing it in the School Gym and it seems to be a better fit for the carnival and offers more space for us.” “We have no definite plans with the money raised yet, but there are always items on our wish list that need to be purchased for each site and capital upgrades and projects that need completed at each Site,” explains Heikkila. The spooktacular carnival is the biggest fundraiser for the Kipling KidCare and helps to finance many of the facility needs, expenses and additional finances that occur. Kipling Kidcare is a non-profit, licensed daycare that is governed by the Provincial Government. Kidcare is open Monday – Friday 6:00am to 6:30pm and follows a strict meal plan, as per the Canadian Food Guide, and as regulated by the Province. Kipling Kidcare currently has roughly 30 kids enrolled at Site 1 and 20 kids enrolled at Site 2. Site 1 is for ages 6 weeks – 3.5 years and Site 2 is for ages 3.5 years to age 12. We have room for 1 infant and 5 preschoolers at the moment at Site 1, and roughly 10 spots available at Site 2. Kidcare also offers a Preschool/Playschool program on Tuesdays, and this year we have 5 kids enrolled in Preschool and 8 kids enrolled in Playschool.

Ritchie earns Texas Hold’em Poker title By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

May the flop be with you! - a quote from a great poker player Doyle Brunson. Players place your bets and let’s get this game started. Players took their chances to play a hand, bluff, check, raise or go all in! So many decisions. Other than skill some may have also had a bit of luck on their side especially for a few who lasted ‘til the final table at the recent Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament held in Kipling on Sunday, Oct. 20 organized by the Kipling & District Lions Club. This year ’s tournament attracted 29 players from Kipling, Corning, Windthorst, Kenosee, Stoughton and Broadview. After 4 1/2 hours of play, and players knocked out of the tournament one by one, the final two players came down to Brian Tennant and Joanne Ritchie taking turns calling, checking and folding throughout the final few hands. The final hand came down to Tennant going all in with a JS-8H against Ritchie’s KD-JH. On the flop came a 4S-AS-4D with a QS on the turn and a 3H on the river. Ritchie’s hand took all the chips with a higher kicker. Ritchie has 5 or 6 years

of experience at playing the game of poker. “I used to play every week before in Virden when we lived in Maryfield.â€? She says she’s played in a lot of these smaller tournaments but not in casinos. Ritchie took advantage of the rebuy. “I wasn’t going to at first, but it sometimes changes your luck!â€? She says there were a few hands that changed the course of the game for her. “I took quite a lot of chips when I went all in against pocket Aces and again later when I had a full house.â€? “Being new to Kipling no one knew how I played,â€? says Ritchie. Having just moved to Kipling three months ago she hasn’t had a chance to play against any of the locals! Cash prizes amounted to 66% of the gross ticket sales, with this amount being shared amongst eight winners. With the entry fees as well as 21 players opting for a rebuy, a total of $2,500.00 was collected. A total of $1,575.00 was paid out in prize money and after expenses approximately $875.00 will be donated to community projects.

$53.3 million passing lane project between Estevan and Weyburn announced The contract to build new passing lanes on Highway 39 between Estevan and Weyburn has been awarded to CoCo Group, the parent company of Saskatchewan-based Langenburg. “The safe movement of people and goods along our provincial highways is vital,â€? Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “The new passing lanes will make this busy highway safer and improve eďŹƒciency for travellers in the southeast.â€? The $53.3 million Highway 39 resurfacing and passing lanes project includes construction of five sets of passing lanes (10 lanes) between Estevan and Weyburn. It will also see resurfacing between the two cities and just north of the international border, which includes shoulder widening, installation of Intelligent Transportation Systems and variable message signs, and culvert replacements. “This is a busy international trade route for the trucking community, so we’re very

pleased that the Government of Saskatchewan is proceeding with passing lanes which will allow more opportunities to pass safely and improve traffic flow,� Saskatchewan Trucking Association Executive Director Susan Ewart said. Work is scheduled to be complete by the summer of 2021. Passing lanes provide additional opportunities for drivers to pass safely. Passing lanes reduce highway collisions at a fraction of the cost of twinning. If you’re planning to travel, check the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/ highwayhotline, which provides up-to-date information on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges and other road activities. Information is also available by calling 511. The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $9 billion in highways infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 14,000 kilometres of Saskatchewan highways.

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

October and Mary’s Miracles by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

If you want an ally at the moment of your death, you need look no further than your Mother and my Mother and the Mother of Jesus. St Mechtilde begged Our Lady for help during the last moments of her life. Mary said to her, “Yes, I will; but I want you, on your part, to pray three Hail Marys to me each day.” In the first Hail Mary you will ask that just as God the Father raised me up to a throne of glory, so too I may assist you on earth to drive away the power of the enemy. In the Second Hail Mary you will ask that just as the Son of God filled me with wisdom and knowledge of the Holy Trinity, so too I may help you in the last moments of your life, filling you with wisdom. In the third Hail Mary “you will ask that, just as the Holy Spirit filled me with the sweetness of His love … so also may I help you at the hour of your death, filling your soul with such gentleness of divine love that all the sorrow and bitterness of your death may be changed for you into delight.” The simple recitation of three Hail Marys a day, with the above intentions, can procure Mary’s help in that final hour. “ Mary would appear to them with such brightness and beauty that the mere sight of her would bring consola-

tion and the joys of heaven.” (vCatholic.com). A Moment with Mary shares many stories of Mary’s intercessory help. In one massive fire in Wisconsin in 1871, 2500 lives were lost. “In the middle of it all, the Chapel of Our Lady of Good Help and the fenced property surrounding it were untouched.” The five acres sat amid the charred landscape like an oasis in the desert.” Mary saved her children inside by deflecting the raging inferno. Mary intercedes for Christians of all faiths. In 1896 King Menelick of Ethiopia received this letter: “I am a poor Italian woman whose son you hold prisoner. O great Emperor, have pity on an unfortunate woman and return her child to her! I ask you in the name of the Madonna!” Menelick immediately freed the son and told him to say it was not Menelick who liberated him. “You see Mary is really my mother, and when my mother has said so, I cannot say no anymore. Go, and may our Lady protect you!” (A Moment with Mary). In a 1920 story shared by A Moment with Mary Father Peter was trying to administer the last sacraments to a dying man. He prayed a rosary to Mary. When he approached, the man vehemently refused the final graces: “In the triple name of Satan, the answer is no!” Father Peter spoke to Mary, “In our church we have many ex-votos with the inscription of ‘Mary has answered our prayer.’ If you let this poor sinner go to eternity without the last sacraments, I will set up a plaque with the inscription ‘Mary did not answer me’!” Approaching the dying man one last time he presented

By raising funds through this method, Kipling Rink Management is able to keep the annual user fees of the Kipling Arena at a reasonable rate for all. All families using the facility are required to provide an individual to work five shifts per season (3 hrs each), or may buy out of this commitment for a fee of $350.00. Shifts are pre-scheduled; individuals may request certain shifts by calling or texting Natasha at (306) 736-8815. Kipling has many upcoming events in the next few weeks: · October 25 & 26 – Kipling Minor Hockey’s Hockey School at the Kipling Arena · October 26 – Kipling Junior Girls Volleyball Team will host District Finals in the Kipling School Gym. · November 8 & 9 – Dale Blackstock Memorial Rec Hockey Tournament at the Kipling Arena.

Older Adult Fitness Classes have resumed for the fall on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. in the Kipling Friendship Centre. Classes are 50 minutes in length and open to all interested participants. Classes feature light cardio activity, strength training and balance and flexibility exercises – all set to great music! There is no charge to attend – everyone is welcome! Kipling’s Disc Golf Course remains playable throughout the fall. The course begins on the edge of the Kipling Museum, and moves east toward the 605 grid, including the Town of Kipling Tree Grove. Check out Moose Mountain Disc League on Facebook for a map of the course. Kipling & District Parks and Recreation has 4 sets of discs available for use at the Rec Office (#6 207 6th Ave. – Kipling Professional Building). Kipling Campground has closed for the season. Individuals are welcome to store their RV units in the campground for the off season, but must call the Rec Office to register them (306) 736-8440. Owners are also encouraged to keep their insurance current on their RV units, as Kipling & District Parks and Recreation will not be responsible for anything stored in the campground. Take a stroll on Kipling’s new Community Walking Trail. Kipling & District Parks and Recreation Board and the Walking Path Committee will be adding signage to the trail shortly, and invite everyone to enjoy walking, running or biking on it. We do, though, remind the public that motorized vehicles are not permitted to use the Walking Trail, and ask that they do not cross the trail with their golf carts. A map of the Walking Trail can be found on the Town of Kipling website (www.townofkipling.ca).

Canada needs to keep trade flowing to foreign markets By Calvin Daniels cdaniels@sasktel.net

In terms of Canadian agriculture trade is paramount to success for producers. It is well understood that Canadian producers can do one thing very well, and that is grow crops and livestock. Producers here are generally eager adopters of new technologies and ideas when it comes to production, a trait that goes back to the earliest farmers willing to try new varieties and ideas. The result is that farmers in this country have always produced far more than can be consumed domestically in a broad range of crops and livestock. When supply is far in excess of domestic demand the excess must be sold to export markets. Canada has generally done a good job of accessing foreign markets, but that is becoming a more difficult thing today. There are more countries in an export position in terms of agricultural products. There are new trade agreements and pacts that now must be manoeuvered through. And, while governments have always meddled in trade with sanctions made for political gain and nothing more, that interference had seemed in decline for a period. The emergence of Donald Trump as president in the United States has certainly reignited national protectionism in the States, and that has rippled through the world with other countries flexing their political muscle with tariffs and trade barriers. So Canada needs to be more diligent than ever in keeping trade flowing as freely as possible to key foreign markets. Generally, trade is best achieved seller to buyer on some direct level, but one should not discount the occasional influential hand of politicians. It is after all, politicians who often muddy the waters of trade with sanctions, so having another politician sitting down to discuss freer access to trade is not a bad idea. In that respect it’s hard to see a downside, at least agriculturally speaking, to Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe’s trade mission to Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, his first trade mission to these markets. According to a government release, “the Premier’s focus was on expanding and diversifying access in the Asian markets for Saskatchewan’s food, fuel and fertilizer.” Accepting that a release from government might be a touch biased, promoting those things Saskatchewan has to trade was exactly what Moe’s job was in taking the mission. The mission involved more than 25 meetings and events, including the signing of 10 Memorandums of Understanding by Saskatchewan based organizations to expand and extend the relationships that Saskatchewan has abroad. An MOU is not a trade deal, but it is a solid foot-in-thedoor. “Japan and South Korea represent key growth markets for our food, fuel and fertilizer, but also serve as launch points into developing markets in the Asian region,” Moe said in the release. It is to be hoped the initiative becomes the foundation for more trade, because that is what the farm sector relies on.

Runnerup candidates respond to election night results

Phil Zajac

Ashlee Hicks

Travis Patron

By David Willberg and Greg Nikkel

Candidates who were defeated by the Conservatives’ Robert Kitchen in Souris-Moose Mountain in Monday’s federal election had plenty to say about the results, both locally and nationally. NDP candidate Ashlee Hicks was happy with her outcome in the election in second place, albeit a distant second in a six-horse race behind Kitchen. “It was a good run,” she said. “I’m happy with the way the forums went, and in a riding where it’s overwhelmingly Conservative support.” With 190 of 192 polling stations reporting, she garnered 3,096 votes or 7.7 per cent of the ballots cast. “The most important thing I could do is to take advantage of the opportunity to have a conversation with the sitting MP, and keep an open dialogue,” said Hicks. “I’m pretty happy with finishing in second place. It’s a really tough riding in trying to get ahead.” While living in Saskatoon, she was able to come down to the riding to do some campaigning, including attending the candidates’ forums in Moosomin, Weyburn and Estevan, and she was able to put her message across to those audiences at least. While acknowledging not many people agreed

with her positions, “I feel it’s a vital part of the conversation.” Nationally, with the NDP in fourth, behind the Bloc Quebecois, Hicks said, “I feel we’re in a very interesting position, and I feel our concerns and voice of opposition is really going to create a little future with a minority government.” Asked if she thinks there might be a possible coalition with the minority Liberal government, she said, “I’m not sure if it’s going to happen. It could put us in a better position in getting our policies into the grand scheme of things.” Hicks said it was “absolutely” worth it to put her name in and run as a candidate, and noted she found it invaluable to have conversations with the incumbent MP, as she found he genuinely cares for this riding, and the people of the riding have full confidence in him as their MP. As to whether she might run again as a candidate, Hicks said, “Perhaps. I would never say no. I feel at the end of the day the best I can do is to put my party’s message forward and have some good conversations.” Phil Zajac, who was the candidate for the People’s Party of Canada, finished fourth with 675 votes, or 1.7 per cent. He thought he would do better; in fact,

he thought he would win the riding. Zajac said most people he talked to in the constituency are concerned about the future of coal mining. “I spent a lot of time in Coronach last week, and the thing that struck me was that when you’re in Ottawa or Toronto or a big city, or even Regina or Saskatoon, it would be no big deal to close a power plant or to close a mine,” said Zajac at his campaign office in Estevan. But in a smaller community, it’s a much larger impact. And when he met people and saw their faces, he could see they were losing hope. “Somebody needs to be the voice of those people,” said Zajac. He was disappointed to see that party leader Maxime Bernier, who launched the People’s Party last year, lost his seat in Beauce, Quebec. Bernier finished more than 6,000 seats behind Ricard Lehoux of the Conservatives. “It’s going to be a little tougher road, and everybody knows that,” said Zajac. The party was also shut out from Parliament during the election. As for the Liberals getting re-elected, he said he was surprised with the support they received amid the bad publicity the Liberals received regarding the SNC-Lavalin scandal

and other issues. “You would think that people would not be as interested in voting for the Liberal Party, but it just seemed like nobody really cared,” said Zajac. Travis Patron of the Canadian Nationalist Party, placed last in the voting with 166 votes or 0.4 per cent of the support. Patron said he came into the election with the feeling he had nothing to lose and everything to gain as a brand new party on the federal scene. “I put a new idealism forward of Canadian nationalism. We haven’t had that, but it’s also clear we have a lot of work to do,” said Patron. From the campaign, he said it’s also clear a lot of people haven’t heard of him or his party, and he also found that there are a lot of people not happy with the Conservatives, so there is a chance to let people know about where the Nationalist Party stands. Patron said it was definitely worth putting his

name forward, and that of the Canadian Nationalist Party, and the lessons learned from the campaign will help him formulate his strategy going forward to build the party up for the next election. For one thing, he wants to have candidates in more ridings by the next election. Even though he was dis-

Breakfast Program receives Canada Post support The Kipling School Breakfast Program is pleased to announce it has received $1000.00 from the Canada Post Community Foundation for an important project. The grant money will aid in the continuation of the current breakfast program which nourishes healthy eating habits in a safe and social environment for students in the Kipling School.

Led by volunteers from within the school and the local community, the project focuses on educating students on healthy eating and being environmentally conscious while engaging the whole school community. Volunteers feed and educate an average of 35 students each morning before classes begin. School staff have seen improvements

in self-esteem, academic outcomes, teaching time, attendance and fewer behavioural problems. The program has engaged high school student volunteers to prepare food and socialize with younger students in a fun and safe place. “We appreciate receiving the support of the Canada Post Community Foundation, this is another great example of how a positive

relationship between the school and the community can benefit our students,” said Dave Bircher, Kipling School principal. “Canada Post is proud to help organizations and projects that make a difference in the lives of Canadian children and youth. Through the generosity of our customers, the Canada Post Community Foundation

is able to fund important programs in communities across the country every year.” About the Canada Post Community Foundation The Canada Post Community Foundation for Children’s vision is to help ensure every child in Canada is happy, healthy and part of a community that supports and cares for them. Its mission is

to have a positive effect in the lives of children in the communities Canada Post serves by supporting registered charities, school programs or local initiatives that benefit children. It has granted more than $6 million to over 500 community organizations across Canada. To learn more about the Foundation, visit canadapost.ca/ community.

CAA Saskatchewan Halloween Safety Tips Let’s work together to keep our youngsters safe

This Halloween, children’s safety is the focus for CAA Saskatchewan. Safety for pedestrians of all ages can be scary, but on Halloween night, it can become a little scarier and more unsafe, considering the increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Here are a few Halloween safety tips from CAA: See and be Seen: • Choose costumes that are bright at night and don’t obstruct children’s vision

and hearing. • Trick or treating in groups is always a smart idea. It’s safer and groups are more visible to drivers. • When crossing the street, use designated intersections and crosswalks. Be sure to stop, look, listen and think. • Use reflective tape on costumes and have children carry a flashlight for easy visibility. • Use makeup instead of a mask to allow for better

vision. • Put those mobile phones and gaming devices away. • Be alert and aware of your surroundings. Driving Diligence: • If you are driving and must drop off or pick up children, make sure you pull over into a safe zone and turn vehicle hazard lights on. • Communicate with other drivers by using your turn signals. Make sure your vehicle’s headlights

are on. • Eliminate distractions – put your mobile phones away. • Watch for excited children walking or running as they may not be thinking about road safety. • When backing out of parking spaces or driveways, always watch for children. • Slow down to at least 10 km below the speed limit when driving through

school zones and residential areas. • Avoid driving during peak trick or treating hours on Halloween night. • If you plan to party, put the keys away. Always plan a safe ride home. To help youngsters practice some helpful Halloween safety tips, CAA has launched a Halloween School Zone Safety Colouring Contest which is open to children 14 years

and younger. Two grand prizes will be awarded– one 18” Mickey Mouse upright carry-on suitcase (retail value $74.99) and one 18” Minnie Mouse upright carry-on suitcase (retail value $74.99). Entry deadline is October 31, 2019. The colouring sheet complete with Halloween safety tips and full contest details is available to download at caask.ca/ schoolzonesafety.

Plainsview Credit Union support Breakfast Program On Friday, October 18, several members of the Plainsview Credit Union dropped in to help serve breakfast at the Kipling School. Not only did they

donate their time, they also presented a cheque for $400.00 in support of the school breakfast program! The credit union employees pay to wear jeans on Fridays

and decided to give back to the community. The breakfast program sees an average of 30 students per day and 100% of the donation will go towards buying groceries.

Students cast their vote at Kipling School F r i d a y, O c t . 1 8 t h e Kipling School had their Student Vote along with schools all over Canada. The vote is run very similar to the actually voting process across the country. Ms. Kayla Lamport was the Teacher Leader as well as

the acting Deputy Returning Officer, and Mrs. Desi Harcourt was the Poll Clerk. The two had a fun day sharing the election process with students! Students have been learning about the candidates and political parties for the last few

weeks and Grades 5-12 participated in the vote. This is the first year that Kipling School has had this large of a group participating in the vote. There was a total of 205 votes cast in the election. Students were able to learn

about the full process of the election. Results from the Canada wide student vote will be shared on election night with the Election results and Kipling School’s results will be shared on the 22nd, after the election results are shared.

It was a good turnout of people showing up at Kipling Community Centre to cast their vote in this year’s election.

Checklist: Do this Fall yard work and you’ll reap benefits next Spring Autumn is no time to ignore your lawn and landscape. “What you do now will determine the quality of your family yard next spring and summer,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), the international trade association representing power equipment, small engine, utility vehicle, golf car and personal transport vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. “Pe ople know to plant flower bulbs in the fall, but this time of year is perfect for mowing, mulching, aerating, trimming and patching your yard,” said Kiser. “You might use a lawn mower to trim the grass, mulch the leaves, or pull an aerator attachment around your yard.

Leaf blowers can help corral those troublesome leaves, and string trimmers can help you make your yard tidy.” It’s important to take care of your yard, says Kiser. “After all, your living landscape does a lot for you. It produces oxygen, reduces the urban heat island effect, filters and captures runoff, improves air quality, controls erosion, absorbs carbon dioxide, and supports biodiversity. You benefit when your yard is in top shape.” OPEI offers the following checklist to make sure your yard is ready for relaxing and fun outdoor activities next year. #1 Keep mowing. Grass that is too high may attract lawn-damaging field mice. Shorter grass is more resistant

to diseases and traps fewer falling leaves. Cutting the grass low allows more sun to reach the crown of the grass, so less leaf will turn brown in the winter. However, cutting off too much at one time can be damaging, so never trim more than a third of the grass blades off in a single cutting. Put mower blades on the lowest settings for the last two cuts of the season. #2 Aerate your lawn. Compressed soil hurts grass health. Aerating punches holes into the soil and lets oxygen, water and nutrients into a lawn. Use a walk-behind aerator or get an attachment to pull behind a riding mower. #3 Mulch your leaves. Many mowers can mulch leaves with an attachment. Since mulching with a mower

can mix grass clippings with leaf particles, these nitrogen-rich grass particles and carbon-rich leaf particles will compost more quickly. Together, they return nutrients to the soil. #4 Trim and shore up trees and bushes. Use trimmers, chainsaws or pole pruners to cut back trees, shrubs and plants. Make sure branches are safely trimmed back from overhead lines, and not in danger of falling on a home or structure in winter weather. You may need to tie or brace limbs of upright evergreens or plants to prevent them from breaking in high winds or snow. Call a professional arborist for big trees or hard to reach spots. #5 Repair bald spots. The easiest way to do this is with

an all-in-one lawn repair mixture (found at most garden shops and home centers). Use a garden rake or de-thatcher to scratch loose the soil on the spot. #6 Ready your outdoor power equipment for winter storage. Drain fuel tanks before storing your lawn mower, leaf blower or string

trimmer for the winter. Service and winterize your outdoor power equipment before storing in your garage or shed. Taking these simple steps now, will ensure that in the springtime when you are eager to get back outside, you’ll be ready to start your equipment and get to work right away.

Freaky frighty nights in Wawota By Kelly Johnson The Observer

Taking place in Wawota is this year’s version of Wawota’s Haunted Hotel. This event takes place at the Wawota Hotel and this is the fourth year it has been held. The Haunted Hotel committee is chaired by President Kayla Porter. The group has an executive of five members and the group consists of around 30 members. The idea for this spooky event grew out of a family gathering for Halloween in one of the member’s garages. They joined up with some friends that had been raising money for “Movember” and the Haunted Hotel was indoctrinated! Tickets are available at the hotel on the main floor in the tavern.

proceeds are going to the Moose Mountain Lions Club Greenspace in the Village of Kenosee Lake and the Wawota Daycare. Around 700 people were frightened by this event last year and this year’s attendance should scare even more brave souls. Be warned, that one should be very careful approaching the hotel, as danger is lurking everywhere. The theme for this year’s event is “Medieval Dungeon”. The upper floor’s decorum is diabolically suited to frighten anyone who dares to enter. Groups limited to five are paraded upstairs where the madness begins. Even the regular tenants of ghosts and spirits have vacated the hotel for now and were unable to be found for comment. There are 12 rooms all with various themes and you do not want to be caught locked in. They include “live rats” [eek!], “burn you at the stake”, the “rack torture room”, all of which are accessible from a long heinous hallway with spiked heads that were leftovers from the “guillotine room” one would presume. Among the decrepit that have taken up residence are: ladies in waiting, a king and queen, knights, witches, pheasants and an executioner . The sinister cast of

characters had their makeup done by Lana Young, Lynette Porter, Michelle Klien and Courtney Luscombe. The event was held on October 18 and 19, but if you missed these dates, they will be open on Nov. 2. Doors open 7 p.m. Children under 15 were able to go through on the afternoon of Oct. 20. The event is described as an “interactive experience” and is a “can’t miss” for those brave enough to attend. Happy Halloween everyone!

The executioner awaits you inside the Wawota Haunted Hotel.

Small businesses continue to grow Saskatchewan’s economy The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to recognize Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Small Business WeekTM taking place from October 20 to 26. This week celebrates the important contributions of small businesses to the Canadian economy. Small Business WeekTM was launched 40 years ago to join together entrepreneurs from all over the country. Small businesses are classified as having less than 50 employees and are a source of quality jobs. Since 2008, small businesses have been

responsible for creating 7,253 new jobs in the province. In 2018, Saskatchewan had the highest rate of small businesses in Canada, about 129 small businesses for every 1,000 people, compared to about 110 nationally. “Small businesses help keep Saskatchewan’s communities competitive through investment, job creation and innovation of products and services,� Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to recognize this week to celebrate the contribution

small businesses make to the growth of our province’s economy.� Small business in Saskatchewan is growing. In 2018, Saskatchewan’s small businesses employed 31 per cent of Saskatchewan workers, paying $6.3 billion in wages and salaries, which accounts for one-quarter of the province’s total payroll. Since 2008, wages paid by Saskatchewan small businesses grew the second fastest compared to other provinces. Saskatchewan’s 149,465 small businesses also contributed 24 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product in 2018. The Government of Saskatchewan continues to invest in initiatives, services and programs that support small businesses in the province. Some of these include: • The Saskatchewan Technology Start-Up Incentive, which offers a 45 per cent non-refundable tax credit for individual and corporate equity investments in eligible technology start-up businesses; • The Product2Market: Value Added incentive which helps support small-and-medium-sized agri-businesses, from product development

through to marketing activities; • The Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant, an employerdriven program which helps employers train new or existing workers to meet their specific workforce needs; • A small business income tax rate, at two per cent, for

Canadian-controlled private corporations. The rate applies to the first $600,000 of business income and is among the lowest in the country; • A highly competitive tax structure, which includes tax credits for research and development, as well as for manufacturing and process-

ing equipment expenditures; and • The proclamation of the Regulatory Modernization and Accountability Act in 2013, to ultimately remove red tape that could be a road block to business, and to remove some of the barriers to growth.

Celebrating School Bus Drivers’ role in the success of Saskatchewan students

A big salute to the bus drivers at Kipling School (l to r): Dan Szabo, Dwight Larsen, Crystal Ennis, Stacie Miskiman, Tracy Sproat, Missy Balogh, Kevin Cheyne and Larry Hack. Missing from photo: Ed Mullie, Keree Smalley and Shayla Ogg. In recognition of the important work of the province’s school bus drivers, October 21 has been proclaimed as School Bus Driver Appreciation Day. School bus drivers travel approximately 250,000 kilometres each day, ensuring that more than 70,000 students around the province get to and from school safely. Each year, this ends up being more than 46 mil-

lion kilometres travelled! “This is a great opportunity to thank your local school bus drivers for their commitment to students in the comazmunity,� Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said. “The safety of students in the province is a top priority for the Government of Saskatchewan and school bus drivers play an extremely important role in that.�

The Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) represents locally elected school boards across the province and provides advocacy, services and board development. “School boards recognize and appreciate the important work that is done by bus drivers and the dedicated service they provide to the children and youth in our school systems and we thank them,�

SSBA President Shawn Davidson said. “Bus drivers are a vital part of our education sector.� T h e S t u d e n t Tr a n s portation Association of Saskatchewan (STAS) represents individuals who drive students to and from school on behalf of Saskatchewan school divisions. The association promotes safety and efficiency in student transportation services in the

province. “As we know, the bus driver has the most important job in transporting the most precious of cargo, our children,� STAS President Trish Anderson said. “We will continue to provide any training and assistance we can to support our drivers across the province and make their job easier, and work with other provinces to get the highest level of training we can possibly

provide. Thank you to all the drivers out there for doing the very best at a very diďŹƒcult job!â€? School Bus Driver Appreciation Day has been celebrated in Saskatchewan for the past 10 years as part of Education Week. This year’s theme Working and Learning Together recognizes the contributions of all sta members contributing to the success of Saskatchewan students.

Join in the celebration of Education Week 2019 A s E d u c a t i o n We e k kicks o in Saskatchewan, it is an opportunity to honour our hardworking teachers, administrators and education support staff throughout the province and celebrate the success of students. “As Education Minis-

ter, I have seen first-hand the extraordinary work of Saskatchewan teachers and sta in our schools,â€? Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said. “Their contributions each and every day to serve our more than 190,000 students are immeasurable

and I am truly grateful for the passion and commitment put forth to help shape our next generation.� This year, Education Week will be celebrated from October 20 to 26, with various events and activities taking place throughout the more than 770

schools in our province’s 27 school divisions. The theme Working and Learning Together was chosen to acknowledge the important collaborative relationships that strengthen our education system. The meaningful connections that form between education professionals and students, between schools and community members and Elders, and the collaboration that takes place

between education partner organizations all serve to create an enriched learning environment for children, promoting student engagement and providing students with the foundations for success. “From students and parents to teachers, principals, support sta and trustees, we appreciate the collaborative work that shapes our shared vision for public education in Saskatch-

ewan,� Wyant said. “To all those who support our students in their educational journey - thank you for everything you do.� The Government of Saskatchewan encourages communities to join in the celebration of Education Week 2019 by recognizing the many people supporting our students and sharing the great things happening in our schools online using #SKedweek.

Crown Corporations reach tentative contracts with Unifor Crown Investments Corporation is pleased to announce that its six Crown corporations have reached tentative agreements with their respective Unifor locals. SaskEnergy, SaskPower, SaskTel, Directwest, SecurTek and SaskWater signed memoranda of agreement. Details of the agreements will not be available until ratification has been completed by unionized employees at all Crown corporations. “These agreements were reached because dedicated teams were determined to achieve agreements that are fair and beneficial to both the employees and the corporations,� Crown Investments Corpo-

ration President and CEO Blair Swystun said. “On behalf of the leadership at each of the Crowns and CIC, thank you to the Crown bargaining teams and Unifor’s negotiators who have worked tirelessly to reach settlements.� Employees from all seven Crowns will begin voting on the tentative deals over the next few weeks. Return to work schedules will begin Monday, October 21 at all Crowns. However, operations will take a few days to return to normal. Employees can expect to receive more information later regarding their schedules from management.

Kipling Senior Girls earn silver at volleyball tourney Submitted by Susan Long

The Kipling Senior Girls attended the Regina Christian Schools 16 team tournament on October 18th and 19th. In their first pool they defeated Saskatoon Christian, Regina Laval, and Assiniboia. After this first place finish they were repooled into the championship top 8 teams. On Saturday they won their repool defeating Fort Qu’Appelle, Raymore, and Cornerstone from Moose Jaw. This placed them in the semi-final against

Martin Collegiate from Regina. Kipling defeated them two straight to put Kipling in the gold medal final. We met Harvest City out of Regina in the final. This was a very strong competition with Harvest City in the host gym. Harvest City won 2 sets to 1. These were the only 2 games lost all weekend by the Kipling Senior Girls’. Congratulations on another very successful weekend and a second place finish. The team is off to Saskatoon October 25th and 26th for the Mount Royal Classic.

But they are lousy drivers. Especially SGI’s goat – our virtual mascot who exemplifies exactly what NOT to do behind the wheel. As a driver, this goat is everything you don’t want to be.

We want to stop his influence – and teens in Saskatchewan will have a chance to win one of 10 $250 VISA gift cards if they help out. Saskatchewan teens (age 15-19) are invited to enter the contest between now and October 20 by: - liking posts featuring the goat on Facebook and Instagram, and - tagging two friends. Teens who like and share on both Facebook and Instagram get two entries. If they follow us on Facebook or Instagram, they get an additional entry for each platform. (That’s up to four entries per person!) Then, during National Teen Driver Safety Week, two winners will be selected each day. In addition, law enforcement in Saskatchewan will be handing out “positive tickets” in the lead up to and during National Teen Driver Safety Week to reward teens for safe driving behaviours – if they’re buckled in, they’re driving the posted limit, and they’re driving undistracted. Positive tickets also come with some “Stop the Goat” swag for teens driving safely.
