Loaves & Fishes provides homemade soups free of charge JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com

A

favourite dish for many is often a bowl of hot and savoury homemade soup, especially now that fall weather is quickly approaching.

Enjoying a delicious meal is something many of us take for granted. Still, meal preparation can be challenging for those struggling financially or have difficulty preparing meals due to physical limitations. That’s why a group of people at Kindersley Christian Fellowship started up a new program in late March of 2020.

“We started a new program called Loaves & Fishes,” Barbe Dunn explained. “The design of this program is to meet the needs of people who are in need in our community, children who are in compromised situations, or elderly people who need help with getting meals.” Frozen packages of soup from Loaves & Fishes could also supplement food hampers from the local food bank.

“We are serving soup only, and are looking at the supplies that are available to us, which is hamburger and chicken-based soups,” Barbe added. The group has also made lentil soup after receiving a donation

of lentils.

The program is targeted primarily toward families that are in real need. “As the demand grows, we can expand, not only the quantity but also the variety of the menu,” Barbe said.

Volunteers closely follow public Health Food safety protocols during the soups’ preparation in the commercial kitchen at 800 - 12th Avenue East.

The soups are then frozen in four-cup clear FDA and USDA compliant zip lock bags, with the ingredients, clearly labelled on each bag.

If you could use these meals of frozen soup and bread, you can phone 306-463-6146 and leave a message or e-mail info@ kcfhope.com, give your name, number of adults and children, list any allergies, and provide contact information to arrange pick up and/or delivery. Your package can be picked up at the east door at KCF from 9 a.m.

- noon every Wednesday.

You can also use this contact information if you know of anyone who needs food for themselves or their family. Loaves and Fishes offer soup and bread at no charge to the recipients.

“We are very thankful for the community support we have so far.

SUBMITTED PHOTO Sandy Campbell, Lavan Jensen and Sarah Brown are all smiles as they prepare soup for those in need.

If people are interested in donating towards this program, they can call me at 306-460-9304,” Barbe said. Loaves & Fishes has received donations of chicken, hamburger, garden vegetables, bread and other ingredients from individuals and a local grocery store, as well as monetary donations, which are used to purchase extra supplies.

Barbe added that Loaves & Fishes also welcomes volunteers, “If you are interested in joining a bunch of kind of goofy people who know how to have fun, but at a social distancing level, we would welcome you to be part of our team!”

Horse shot and killed near Senlac On September 6th, 2020, the Unity RCMP were called to a rural property near the Village of Senlac. The caller reported that someone had shot one of his horses. A

member attended and confirmed that the horse had been shot with a firearm. The horse was on private land. There are no suspects at this time and illegal hunting activity is

Anyone with information about this incident or any other crimes in local areas are asked to please call the Unity RCMP at (306) 228-6300, the Wilkie RCMP at (306) 843-3480 or the Macklin RCMP at (306) 753-2171. If you prefer to remain anonymous please call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers with your information at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS) Crimes Stoppers will pay up to $2000.00 for information which leads to the arrest of person(s) responsible for any serious crime.

Peaceful protests and prorogued parliament T

JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com

he seven dwarfs have been advised that as of today, they can only meet in groups of six. One of them isn’t Happy.

The dwarfs are a great illustration of what is happening throughout the world, except in this case, more than one nation isn’t happy. In Montreal, we watched a mob tear down a statue of

John A. MacDonald while law enforcement stood by.

Over in Ottawa, a Black Lives Matter gathering of 100 people received coverage from the mainstream media, while 6,000 people who gathered for a peaceful protest in Ottawa received little media attention. Even the Parliament Hill 24 hour live cam was shut off in order to hide the protest. The scene at Ottawa saw Quebec and English Canada join to-

gether, united in their pro-liberty stance.

Another peaceful gathering is planned in Windsor, Ontario where people will demonstrate against the overall lack of accountability of government.

Similar gatherings throughout the world are being ignored or minimized by the mainstream media. Reports from media said thousands attended a recent protest in Berlin, when the numbers were close to a record breaking two million. People were waving flags from all over the world, with a united purpose of standing for freedoms which they can’t take for granted.

Germans learned that powerful lesson and passed it on through the generations. The Second World War made them acutely aware that they cannot stay silent when they see their liberties being taken away.

Mainstream media (especially state funded media) sends one message to its viewers, but thanks to online media, Canadians have a window into worldwide peaceful protests in Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom. These people simply want to have a voice, and not be silenced or labeled.

Meanwhile in Canada, parliamentary business, including committees probing the WE Charity issue, is suspended until September 23rd, giving Canadians time to forget about the scandal. But Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre said, “We are taking action to stop Liberals from destroying evidence.”

In addition, an NDP MP called for the resignation of the Youth minister over the WE Charity controversy. The response from a CBC panel was that Canadians are preoccupied with going back to school and work, and are no longer concerned about the WE scandal, and as a new leader, O’Toole needs to steer away from it because he doesn’t want to associate himself with Scheer’s previous leadership. Are Canadians so gullible they are willing to brush aside misconduct?

When parliament resumes, the Prime Minister will deliver a speech from the throne, and our new Finance Minister will present her “ambitious plan for the future of the country”. That speech will be followed by a vote on whether the House has confidence in the Government. Given the current makeup of the House, that means there could be an election. The fact that there’s more deficit spending in a month in Canada than there used to be in a year may be just one reason for a lack of confidence.

The plans for re-opening the economy on the government of Canada’s website mentions an upcoming virtual workshop to advise on how to proceed.

Will a virtual workshop be enough to satisfy the expectations of Canadians?

Or will the polls show that Canadians are like the seven dwarfs: six out of seven are not happy?

Numbers show NDP just can’t win

here are clearly differences between rural voters and urban votes in this province.

But as we approach the provincial election this fall, it’s worth recognizing that the gap between the two may not be quite as big as you think ... at least, not when comes to how they are likely to vote.

Support for the Saskatchewan Party government is so widespread and so solid in both the cities and the countryside that it would take nearly unprecedented swings to see the NDP win enough seats to take power on Oct. 26.

Yes, the Sask. Party’s path to victory is still largely due to its overwhelming support in rural Saskatchewan where it won in all 29 seats in 2016 by securing at least 50 per cent of the popular vote. It often won these rural seats with, 60- 70 and as much as 80 per cent of the popular vote, making them virtually untouchable.

But what sometimes gets lost is how strong the Sask. Party actually is some city seats.

The 2020 election results are just not going to look like the 1986 or 1999

or 2003 Saskatchewan elections when lose any).

It is possible. It did happen before city people nearly exclusively voted for New Democrats and rural folk voted when we saw massive swings like for Progressive Conservatives and then in1982 when Grant Devine’s Progressive Conservatives picked up 38 seats. Even Sask.

seats that have potential to change because news outlets focus on what’s likely change.

But what gets lost is that most of those 18 seats weren’t close enough in 2016 for the NDP to take a realistic run at power.

There were only 10 seats in the province where the Sask. Party won by less than 900 votes - all of which are in Regina and Saskatoon.

Turning around even a 900-vote loss from the previous election is relatively rare.

But if the NDP were to win the needed 18 seats, it would have to take seats like Saskatchewan Rivers it lost by 2,500 votes in 2016.

Again, it’s possible. In 1982, the PCs overcame 2,500-vote losses from the previous election four times. In 1986, the NDP overcame 2,500-vote losses in seven ridings.

But with polls in 2020 show no such volatility, there just doesn’t seem to be a realistic path to victory for the NDP. Have a comment on any of our articles? Write to us at Box 727, Kindersley, SK. S0L 1S0.

Just a gal from Glidden ...

The tragic story of Jackie Bates KATE WINQUIST kate@yoursouthwest.com

L

ast week on September 10, people across the globe celebrated World Suicide Prevention Day. We observe the day to raise awareness about suicide and talk about ways to prevent it. Every person fights a battle that another person has no idea about. Sometimes, the battle gets tough, and one starts to think about ending their life as an escape plan. Sadly, this was the case for Ted and Rose Bates, who fell victim to the Great Depression.

Ted Bates was born in London and came to Canada before World War I. He farmed unsuccessfully in the Kindersley district before taking up a butcher’s trade in Glidden in 1921. Rose Slatter immigrated to Canada in 1924, and she and Ted were married that same year.

On October 12, 1925, their only child, Edward Jack Bates was born in Eston.

Jackie was raised in Glidden and attended the local school. My Aunt Peg (Margaret Cecelia Drummond) was the same age as Jackie and attended Glidden School as well.

The Bateses were forced to close their shop in 1932, with the country firmly in the Great Depression grip.

The family moved to Vancouver, where Ted opened a corner grocery store. Once again, Ted’s business failed, and the family was forced to return to Saskatchewan, having been turned down for relief because they did not meet the residency requirement.

Thanks to the Salvation Army’s support, the Bateses arrived in Saskatoon by train in November 1933.

They applied for relief and were given temporary assistance, providing that they returned to Glidden.

The Bateses were too ashamed to face their neighbours, feeling disgraced. Ted and Rose were desperate to find a way out and planned to take their own lives and their sons.

With money that Rose had made from selling some personal belongings, they rented a car from a local service station and headed west along Highway 14 towards Biggar. Jackie sat in the back, reading comic books.

PHOTO BY KATE WINQUIST Jackie Bates grave is located at the far east of the Madison Cemetery.

Halfway between Purdue and Biggar, Ted pulled the car off the road and parked next to a shed in an isolated schoolyard. Jackie’s parents then got in the back seat under blankets with him while the car was left running. Ted and Rose were confident that the exhaust’s carbon monoxide would kill all three of them in their sleep. When they woke hours later, only Jackie had succumbed.

A farmer discovered the couple the next morning with their dead son between them, and he contacted the local detachment of the RCMP. The Bateses were taken to Biggar, where they were charged with the

murder of their son. Eight-year-old Jackie was buried a few days later in the Madison cemetery following a service in the Glidden community hall attended by many of his former schoolmates, including my Aunt Peg. The village of Glidden covered his funeral expenses through a special fund-raising drive. Letters were also sent to Prime Minister Bennett and Saskatchewan premier James Anderson blaming the relief system for the family’s plight. The community also arranged for lawyers for the Bateses, who were ultimately acquitted for their crime.

Jackie Bates lay in an unmarked grave, a victim of the Great Depression and his parents’ pride, until October 17, 2009, when Glidden’s community gathered to remember the young boy and to erect a marker where he rest. Bill Waiser, a historian from Saskatoon, researched the tragedy in his book entitled, “Who Killed Jackie Bates.” He was invited to give a talk (and sign books) about the Bates tragedy. Forty people attended the placement of the grave marker, and sixty came to the discussion. The community raised $1000 for a new recreation centre.

I wanted to see Jackie’s gravesite, so I stopped at the Madison Cemetery on my way back to visit my boys.

I had never been there before and got lost for a bit.

After backtracking, I found the cemetery and was met by the sound of chirping crickets and grasshoppers.

Once again, familiar names found their way back to me - Russell (Bud) and Joyce Arthur, who were good friends of my parents, along with Hartsook, Massey and Code families.

I found Jackie’s grave and stood silently, staring at the small moss-covered slab. I envisioned an innocent young boy playing with his classmates, unaware of his parent’s struggles.

During the lockdown this year, with people losing their jobs and loved ones due to the COVID-19 pandemic, suicides have increased, making it imperative to talk about suicide and depression out loud. It’s okay not to be okay. Let’s end the stigma over mental health.

You can contact the National Suicide Prevention - KW Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

on the front of the house.

It reads as follows: Eatonia’s Catalogue House According to oral history, this “pattern-book” house was purchased from the T. Eaton Company mail-order catalogue.

It is valued for its association with the Town’s namesake, the Eaton family.

A bumper crop in 1915 resulted in many catalogue houses being built in 1917. James & Susan Boomer replaced their humble two-room home built in 1909, with this two-storey Eaton Catalogue Home wherein they raised their family of eight children. Eatons’ and other comapnies sold mail order houses. Buyers could also customize a plan, making it common to find an Eatons’ House that does not match perfectly to any house in Eaton plan books.

Eatons’ final house advertisement was in the 1932-33 Fall & Winter Catalogue. This marked the end of the era of Ea-

Brady, Bucs in NFL’s spotlight A

ll eyes following the National Football League in 2020 will be focused on TB in TB — that’s Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. For 20 years, the 43-year-old Brady — undoubtedly the greatest quarterback of all time — was a record-breaking fixture with New England Patriots, but the six-time Super Bowl champion wanted to spread his wings before hitting the retirement rocking chair. He played out his contract with the Patriots, had his agent weigh numerous offers, and finally decided he’d take TB12 to TB, Florida.

Not only were football fans around the world watching with eager anticipation when Brady’s Buccaneers opened the 2020 season this past Sunday in New Orleans, but Bucs fans are already making plans for Super Bowl celebrations in February.

Tampa Bay, under offensive minded head coach Bruce Arians, was already a decent team with unlimited weapons — Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and O.J. Howard are among the top pass catchers in the league — when Brady joined the

squad, bringing with him former Patriot Rob Gronkowski, an All-Pro tight end who retired following the 2018 season and lived a rock star lifestyle during his 12-month hiatus. But when Brady joined the Bucs, and Tampa officials expressed an interest in having Gronkowski join his long-time team-mate, he jumped at the chance to return.

With Brady guiding the offence instead of the interception-prone Jameis Winston, the Bucs could be dynamite this year — if there is ‘a year’.

COVID-19 lurks everywhere, and while the NFL has taken extreme steps to keep their training facilities, locker rooms and stadiums virus-free, there are no guarantee interruptions, similar to the ones that plagued major league baseball early in its return to play, won’t occur.

NOTICE OF CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Rural Municipality of Deer Forks No. 232

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that nominations of candidates for the offices of:

Reeve Councillor for Division No. 1 Councillor for Division No. 3 Will be received by the undersigned at the municipal office during normal office hours until Wednesday, October 7, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. local time.

Nomination forms may be obtained from the municipal office.

Dated this 14th day of September, 2020.

“If we stay healthy, if we beat the virus, we’re gonna beat a lot of teams,” Arians told si.com’s MMQB. Expecting spectacular, championship-style play from a 43-year-old quarterback, however, might be a fool’s game. Fans remember how quickly the skill levels of quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning and Brett Favre dropped off precipitously as they reached their late 30s. Brady, however, is renowned for his fitness and diet, and the Bucs, who signed Brady to a two-year deal with more than $50 million in guarantees, obviously feel he’s still at the top of his game.

Whether Brady can lead Tampa Bay into the upper echelons of the NFL remains to be seen, but there is no doubt Brady and the Bucs will be must-see viewing — New England excluded — all year.

• Dr. Carlos Del Rio of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, to reporters, on college conferences shutting down their fall seasons: “We have hit the iceberg, and we are making decisions about when we should have the band play.”

• Phil Mushnick of the New York Post, on hitters still swinging for the fences instead of playing small ball with MLB’s new runner-on-second rule for extra innings: ”You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him bunt.”

• Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com (Hampton, Va.): “In Orlando, NBA coaches are neatly dressed in sneakers, slacks and polo shirts. Let’s have them lose the suits for good. What’s the point of basketball coaches dressing as if they’re applying for a bank loan?”

• Nick Canepa of the San Diego Union-Tribune, on the folly of trying to

play football amid campus COVID spikes: “Have most of our colleges been in business only a few months? They seem shocked students prefer partying to rules.”

• Comedy writer Brad Dickson of Omaha: “On the news tonight all they talked about were boycotts, protests, riots, violence, dissension, disease, lawsuits and court cases. And that was just the sportscast.”

• From the Chicago Sun-Times, via fark.com: “Bears to keep two kickers all season. With one who kicks wide right, and the other wide left, they expect to have the best field-goal average of all NFL teams.”

• Bob Molinaro again: “If Usain Bolt can’t outrun the coronavirus without a mask, nobody can.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Ex-Winnipeg Jet Dustin Byfuglien recently pled guilty in a Minnesota court. He got two days community service for unsafe boating and a $1,000 fine for an unpronounceable name.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: Giants manager Gabe Kapler challenged a play at first base with his team ahead 18-2 in the seventh inning.

So why isn’t there an unwritten rule about that?”

• Perry again: “Allegiant Stadium, the Raiders’ new home in Las Vegas, will be the first American pro sports venue that won’t accept cash for game-day transactions. And no, not poker chips, either.”

• Brad Dickson again, on reports that steroids might be effective against COVID-19: “I guess Big 12 and SEC football players don’t have anything to worry about after all.”

Obituaries

SCHMIDT Elaine Sharon Schmidt (Shuttleworth) passed away on Sunday, August 23, 2020, at 82 years of age.

Elaine leaves to cherish her memory, her children, Sandra Joubert, Diana Meister, Deb (Rob) Schmidt and Christina (Cam) Filion. Elaine was predeceased by her husband Hubert Schmidt, her son Shane Schmidt and her son in law Steve

Meister.

A Graveside Memorial Service for Elaine was held at the Kindersley Cemetery on Saturday, August 29, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. with The Rev. Piotr Strzelecki officiating.

On September 23, 1937 Annie and Alvin Shuttleworth welcomed a beautiful baby girl, who they named Elaine. She grew up in the small hamlet of Isham, Saskatchewan.

For her final three years of high school she attended boarding school in Kindersley and then went on to Business College in Saskatoon.

After schooling, she moved to Edmonton, applying her organizational skills to her job with the Alberta Driver’s License Issuing agency. While living in Alberta, Elaine

met Hubert Schmidt, and they married October 5, 1957. They returned to Saskatchewan, living in Smiley, Kerrobert, Cavell and D’Arcy, during which they raised their family – Sandra, Deborah, Diana, Christina and Shane.

Elaine remained living in D’Arcy after the death of her husband Bert, continuing to work at the local Elementary school as janitor, secretary, librarian and teacher’s aide. Upon her retirement she moved to Calgary in 2014, to be closer to family. Over the next years, dementia and breast cancer played an ever increasing role in the course of Elaine’s life resulting in her move into an assisted living complex.

In early 2020 Elaine was reunited with her oldest daughter Sandra and it was a wonderful week of eating and family get-togethers. Then COVID hit, the end of family visits at Elaine’s residence and a minor fall, resulting in a broken hip. Upon Elaine’s discharge from hospital, she went to live with Deb and Rob and her grandsons, Trey and Beck, where she enjoyed the loving care and company of her family and the antics of their puppy.

Donations in Elaine’s memory may be made to: Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, 301 – 2550 12th Ave. Regina, SK S4P 3X1 or the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan, 200 – 4545 Parlament Ave. Regina, SK. S4W 0G3.

THE LIVING WORD

Walls Between Us

LEORA SCHMIDT thelivingword@mail.com

The stress of current events is causing more distancing than the required physical social distancing. Emotional distancing is occurring.

People are allowing different views of current events to alienate them from even those close to them. Some with whom we formerly freely shared our personal views shut us down with hostility.

Disagreement and disaffection are rampant.

Relationships are being severely tested. Differing views used to be permissible and easily tolerated, and we maintained cordial relations.

Not so in the current climate!

We used to be aware that every friendship has a margin of flexibility because of our varying personalities.

We cheerfully made allowances for idiosyncracies and differing views, and our loyalty remained. It’s a sudden phenomenon that familiar friendships, and even family members, are in opposition with hostility from at least one side. Mutual affection and cordiality are disrupted.

It hit this writer hard when a treasured friend recently turned her back on me, causing grief. The Bible has always proved a solace for every situation, so I turned to it. It was a greater shock to hit that wall erected between us because we had en-

joyed years of a happy mutual deep caring. I felt the attack as only a step short of actual persecution, which many are actually enduring.

I offered up a silent prayer for solace and comfort and randomly opened my Bible. This met my eye: “O Lord, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” (Jeremiah 15:15, 16). Jeremiah endured much persecution, and thus did much soul searching and seeking God. I also was led to do some soul searching lest I had offended needlessly. It turned my thoughts away from myself to think of God, His power, His protection, His ability to bring joy to anyone who will give up any selfishness and sorrowful feelings and rejoice in His saving power. He is supplying comfort in my loss of a relationship.

Friend of mine, you may have a similar experience. We trust that enduring the negative things in life are the means of perfecting our character.

Therefore, let’s look away from our present apparently unsolvable problems to the word of God. Remember that these barriers to human fellowship will not last forever. Let us maintain our relationship with God as we endeavour to be at peace with those with whom we associate. Let us bask in the promise, “… weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5).
