Pharmacies in Kindersley begin administering flu shot
JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com
“Get Your Flu Shot” signs were posted well in advance, but October 19th marked the the first day the flu clinics offically began. The pharmacies at the Kindersley Co-op, Pharmasave and Walmart in Kindersley were busy all day with a steady stream of people coming in to register for their flu shot. Many seniors could be seen waiting for their turn, with their health card clutched in their hand.
Although the flow of people coming in for their shots was steady, local pharmacists noted that the numbers were similar to previous years. The Sask Health Authorty stressed the importance of the vaccine for people at high-risk of influenza complications. Those include persons with underlying health conditions, the elderly, pregnant women, young children and anyone who is immune-compromised.
Many people took the opportunity to either call their pharmacy in advance to arrange their immunication, or drop in on the first available day on October 19th. On the same day many people also took advantage of the advance polls. Advance voting for the provincial election took place at the Norman Ritchie Centre in Kindersley.
Sask Health Authority made the public aware that the vaccine is also available through public health clinics and some physician and nurse practitioner offices. Children age six months to five years must be immunized at a public health clinic, or by a physician or nurse practitioner.
Because pharmacies and pharmacists are anticipating a greater demand for flu shots this year, the Ministry of Health ordered 36.5 per cent more vaccine doeses than previous years. The flu vaccine is publicly funded and therefore free to Saskatchewan residents who are six months and older.

Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services seize over 100 Pounds
of
Cannabis and nearly 1 kg of cocaine near Kindersley
On Tuesday, October 20th, 2020, around 2:30 p.m., a pickup truck was stopped on Highway 7 west of Kindersley, Saskatchewan, for a driver’s license and vehicle registration check.
The RCMP officer made several observa-
tions, which resulted in the lone male occupant being detained for a drug investigation. Further investigation resulted in the occupant being arrested for possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution. A searched of the vehicle revealed five large garbage
bags, which contained approximately 99 pounds of cannabis.
Clinton James Senko, 34, of Saskatoon, SK, has been charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution. Senko appeared before a Justice of the Peace and was released on several conditions. Senko is scheduled to make his next court appearance in Kindersley Provincial Court on December 15th, 2020, at 10:00 a.m.
The following afternoon at around 3:30 p.m., an officer stopped a car on Highway 7 west of Kindersley for speeding.
The officer made several observations which resulted in a 33-year old male being detained for a drug investigation. A police service dog was deployed around the vehicle and a positive indication to one of the police dog’s trained narcotic odours was identified. The driver was subsequently arrested for possession of a controlled substance. A search of the vehicle resulted in police seizing 850 grams
of cocaine and 7 pounds of cannabis.
Matthew Lewis Davey of Strathmore, AB, has been charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution. Davey appeared before a Justice of the Peace and was released on conditions.
Davey’s is scheduled to make his first court appearance on December 15, 2020, in Kindersley. Police seized both vehicles in relation to these investigations.

Believe it?
Don’t believe everything you read.
News Media Canada is currently running a promotion on how to stop fake news. Don’t worry. We’re the real deal here! Anything that you read in this column is factual. It may be boring sometimes, but it is always the truth.
I’ve often thought that I would like to write my autobiography, but would anyone but myself even find it remotely interesting?
The past couple of weeks have been more eventful than usual. It all started back on October 8 when I decided to contact all of the area’s Rural Municipalities to let them know that I would extend my deadline to get their Notice of Poll, Notice of Abandonment of Poll advertisements in. I try to be accomodating as much as I can, and I knew that I would be pushing my deadline to get my files to the printer in Wainwright. They request that I have everything to them by noon on Fridays for the newspaper to be printed and get on the truck to be delivered to Kindersley the next morning. I knew that this was not likely to happen, but I contacted Heather at StarPress, and she said that they would extend my deadline. “Perfect!” I thought to myself. I’ll still be able to go home and catch a few hours sleep and get everything done by mid-afternoon at the latest. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Life got in the way on Friday afternoon as it sometimes does when you have three teenagers, and I had to throw my hands in the air and declare that I would not meet my deadline.
I called Heather once again, and she said that they would print my papers first thing Tuesday morning, but I would have to come to Wainwright to pick them up. It wasn’t the ideal situation, but it was the best that I could do on the Thanksgiving long weekend.
Our family spent the holiday at our home in Gull Lake. We have been in the process of doing some renovations to get it ready to sell. I won’t get into too many details here, but renovations are NOT fun! I must admit that part of me was glad to be going back to Kindersley and leaving the renos to Robert.
It was back to work bright and early Tuesday morning. Thankfully the weather was cooperative for my road trip to Wainwright. I headed up through Kerrobert, Luseland and Macklin, where I had to stop at the World’s Largest Bunnock and have a 5-minute nap. My lack of sleep over the past few days was catching up with me. Against my better judgment, I picked up one of those energy drinks at the local gas station and got back on the road.
I arrived in Wainwright at around 11:00 a.m. and amazingly found the print shop with no problems. I had never been there before, so Roger Holmes, who owns the business, gave me a tour of the pressroom. The “Voice” was “hot off the press,” as they say, and we got them loaded into my car, and I was on my way once again.
On my way back, I noticed a huge flock of snow geese on a body of water just to the west of Provost. “I must get back to get the papers delivered,” my inner voice said to me. “Oh, but you really should stop and take a video!” my other inner voice beckoned. (I am a Gemini, so I have two distinct personalities). You must know who won out before I even tell you!
Yep, I pulled into an approach and got out my iPhone to take a short video of the birds. They looked like a blanket of snow on the water. I found it quite satisfying to watch and listen to them.
Suddenly my mood changed. I was no longer sleepy. I felt a bit invigorated. I passed the community of Provost and headed back into Saskatchewan through Macklin once again. I was going past the Village of Primate when a sign caught the corner of my eye. There was a road that would lead me to Marengo if I so chose to take it. “I must get back to get the papers delivered,” my inner voice said to me. “Oh, but you really should go back and take that road!” my other inner voice beckoned. You must know who won out before I even tell you!
Yep, I found an approach and turned around, turning left onto Highway 317. It was a beautifully paved road. No traffic. Smooth. I called Robert on my hands-free device to let him know that I had made it to Wainwright
and that I was on my way back to Kindersley. I told him that I was taking a different route and hoped that I would see some interesting scenery. No sooner did those words come out of my mouth; I saw a country church in the distance. “Gotta go! I’ll talk to you later,” I said to Robert. “I see something!”
What a find! I came across St. Anthony’s Church (Grosswerder), which was constructed in 1912. It is located at NW1/4-10-37-27-W3rd in the Rural Municipality of Eye Hill No. 382 and has been formally recognized as a Historic Place in Saskatchewan. The heritage value of St. Anthony’s lies in its association with the local community. The Roman Catholic parish was established for the German Catholics who homesteaded the area between 1906 and 1907. Three church bells, cast in Germany in 1912, are particularly valued for their connection with the parishioners’ Germanic heritage. The bell tower dominates the landscape, making it a landmark in the community.
Just down the road is the cemetery, which is kept in immaculate condition. What I found different about this cemetery was that not all of the graves were facing east. About half of the graves faced east, while the other half faced west. I would be interested in finding out why this is, although ultimately, what matters most is the life that has been lived, not their final resting place.
I was so glad that I listened to my “inner squirrel” and decided to take a different way home.
As I travelled further, I could see an elevator in the distance. By this time, only one of my voices was speaking to me. The voice of adventure! The elevator was Cactus Lake! I wasn’t sure how far it was to Marengo, but I thought maybe I would come across Loverna if I kept on this road. The beautiful pavement turned into a grid. I kept going for a while and saw another elevator in the distance. “Maybe that’s Loverna?” I said to myself. I could have gone down Highway 51 (which was paved) towards Major and Kerrobert, but I decided to check out the elevator. Before I got there, I noticed a cemetery. I pulled alongside the road and walked into the sparsely occupied cemetery. A large monument told me where I was. “Dedicated in memory of Fusilier and area pioneers.”
I googled Fusilier and found out that it is now considered a ghost town, but it had quite a storied past.
My day was not finished, but I already had so many things to tell Robert about when we had our nightly text. That’s when autocorrect decided to bring a little fun into our conversation.
I mentioned Fusilier and that I found information on it through Saskatchewan Ghost Towns. “Churches, cemeteries, elevators, I typed. I actually was looking for Loverboy.”
“Who” Robert texted back, probably wondering what I was really up to on my travels.
Autocorrect had changed Loverna to Loverboy, and I just about peed myself, I laughed so hard!
“You better not be looking for Loverboy lol” was Robert’s response.
To think that none of this would have happened if I would have made my deadline. I guess my life lesson for this week is when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or better yet, make orange juice and leave the world wondering how you did it.
OPINION
CHECK IT OUT with Joan Janzen
The mummy said to to the people in his support group, “I need to learn how to unwind.”
While listening to Yeonmi Park being interviewed, I heard her compelling story unwind, about being a North Korean defector. Growing up in North Korea as one of the common class, which is about 90 percent of the population, she suffered many hardships.
She shared her first memory. “My mom told me not to whisper because the birds and mice could hear me. The first thing I learned was the most dangerous thing I have is my tongue.
If I say a wrong word, it will kill an entire three generations of my family.” People are executed for reading the Bible, or watching a foreign DVD.
”People in our neighborhood disappeared all the time, and we always had to go to public executions; even children see someone shot in front of your eyes,” she said.
Yeonmi said people in North America find it difficult to believe what it’s like in North Korea. “The regime tells us what to wear, how to style our hair, what songs we can sing, what dance we can dance, who we can marry; everything is deter-
The price of freedom
mined by the regime.” There’s no internet and only one TV channel telling the people how wonderful Korea is.
“At school I learned what kind of miracles our dear leader can do, and how bad democracy in America was. We saw Americans in posters and they were made to look like monsters.”
As for the Korean regime, it makes money by selling drugs, weapons, stealing money by computer hacking, and by trafficking their own people. “The regime sends slave labor to China, Siberia and other places where they work for their leader, while the regime holds their families hostage back at North Korea,” Yeonmi said.
Every male who reaches the height of 4 feet, eight inches (people aren’t growing because of malnourishment) is required to do 13 years of mandatory military service, whereby they become labourers.
Yeonmi’s family didn’t have running water and they had to scrounge for anything to heat their home. She recalled having her appendix removed without any anesthetic. More than anything, she recalls always being hungry. “As a child I never ate until I was full; I grew up eating frozen potatoes, grasshoppers and plants.” It was hunger that caused Yeonmi and her mother to cross the frozen river to China in 2007, with the help of a broker, who had bribed the guards so they wouldn’t be shot.
“China has a responsibility to protect us, but the only way we can stay there is to be sold or they send you back to be captured and tortured,” she said. Once they reached China, she was sold to an older married man and she became his mistress. She was 13 years old.
Two years later she escaped, crossing the dessert to Mongolia, then went on to South Korea and then to the United States.
In 2014 Yeonmi shared her story on the Internet where it was heard by 50 million people. “Two months later North Koreans captured all my family, even my neighbours and they all vanished because I spoke up,” she said. “When defectors speak up, they pay such a huge price.”
Now that she lives in the US where many people her age are in favour of socialism, she says “If you worship socialism, just go to North Korea. Without capitalism you won’t have food, opportunity, all the devices. I never heard about free speech in North Korea. That’s why everyone wants to come to North America.”

Sask. election aftermath worrying
Barring the most unexpected upset in Saskatchewan political history we will be seeing this week a Saskatchewan Party government carry on with a fourth term.
And in the winner-take-all world of politics it becomes easy to write off any misgivings with the winning party as irrelevant.
But maybe that’s why we are always so frustrated with our politicians and the political process. Maybe this is where our problems begin.
Of course, the problem is that there are no easy fixes.
If an election doesn’t produce a minority government or at least a very close race, governments wind up pretty much doing what they want.
As has been previously mentioned in this space, the Sask. Party went into this election having won 31 seats in the 2016 campaign by 2,500 votes or more. On only six occasions in the 115-year of our province has a party that won a seat by 2,500 votes or more then lost that seat in the next election.
Unseating government was always a hopeless unrealistic for the NDP. And it
can surely be argued that the New Democrat campaign didn’t do all that much help its cause.
Many will legitimately argue that the NDP didn’t deserve to win because it virtually wrote off half the seats in the provinces before the campaign started.
Sure, the NDP ran candidates in all 61 seats — many of which deserve credit for putting up a feisty fight in rural seats where some of them didn’t stand much of a chance.
If we are ever to change the system to something better, it likely begins with the re-establishing the recognition that anyone who puts up his or her name for public office deserves respect for doing so.
One can accuse Sask. Party leader Scott Moe of pretty much the same tactics, but why would the Sask. Party spend much time in seats it was guaranteed to win?
Moreover, the NDP’s “People First” campaign can rightly be criticized for offering rather little to people in agriculture, oil and mining that have also been hard hit by the COVID-19 economic downturn.
That said, it did not go unnoticed that leader Ryan Meili’s Ford campaign van hardly veered off Highway 11 between Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. And if it did, it was only for short detour to Moose Jaw.
It’s costly $2.1 billion in new spending was largely aimed at increased hiring in schools, hospitals and nursing but also at those economic disadvantaged. By its own admission, the NDP platform would leave Saskatchewan with massive billion-dollar-a-year deficits and still $600 million short of a surplus after four years.
But maybe it’s about here where we need to begin and rethink what we want out of a process that leaves us stuck with the lesser of evils after an election.
After all, the Sask. Party promises of only slightly smaller deficits and $849 million in new spending over the four years is clearly deserved of the criticism it received.
And we will soon be left paying for all this — a road we’ve been down before as recently as four years ago.
After the 2016 election that saw far less generous platforms from the two major parties, we were hit home with 2017 Saskatchewan budget that hiked taxes and tripled the deficit to $1.2 billion.
It hammered us by increasing the provincial sales tax to six per cent and broadening it, shuttering the Saskatchewan Transportation Company and doing away with the 44-year-old Saskatchewan Hearing Aid Plan that supported preschool children with cochlear implants.
It wasn’t what voters signed up for, but there’s now a very realistic possibility — with a large majority Sask. Party government — we’ll be in for this again.
Until we can somehow improve government accountability, it’s, unfortunately, the system we’re stuck with.

Letter to the Editor
Editorial makes unfounded claims
In her October 13, 2020 Editorial in “Your West Central Voice” titled “Party Platforms are Important” Joan Janzen makes numerous broad stroke highly biased and unfounded claims and assertions about the platform of the Democratic Party. Consider just one of these claims, where she mislabels the Democratic Party as socialist, while the Republican party is capitalist. She then avers that:
“Socialism curtails individual freedom.”
To begin this discussion, let us consider how the Oxford English Dictionary defines socialism. It is defined as “a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.”
We live in a country, and in a province in particular, that in many aspects fit this definition. SaskPower, SaskEnergy, SaskWater and SaskTel represent public own-
ership of the means to produce and deliver their essential services to all of us. SaskHealth owns or regulates how the whole community receives health services.
Let us consider just one small example of the impact of socialism vs. capitalism that has occurred to friends of ours who live in northwest Ohio. Their fourteen year old son recently suffered a brain aneurysm and was life-flighted from their community a distance of 110 kilometers to a teaching hospital in Ann Arbor Michigan, where he received first rate care, and is now recovering at home. Our friends just received a bill from the life flight service for $27,588.19. They filed a claim with her health insurance provider for what is supposed to be a covered service but have had the claim denied so far. They are pursuing the claim, since it is allegedly covered under their insurance policy, but face perhaps months of uncertainty until this is resolved.
We got a bit nervous when we
saw this bit of news and checked what we might be responsible for if we needed a similar service.
For most Saskatchewan residents who are citizens or landed immigrants, there would be a one time flat charge of $475 for a life flight from anywhere in Saskatchewan to a major Saskatchewan center that could deal with their health issue. For seniors, the charge is $275.
To this reader, individual freedom includes freedom from fear that a random illness or accident could bankrupt us or our families.
Our public health system vastly outperforms the disorganized unfettered capitalistic healthcare chaos south of the border and gives all of us the freedom to live our lives with the ability to pursue our dreams and aspirations without having to concern ourselves if we can financially take care of the health needs of ourselves or our family members. I am free.

Pumpkins keep growing bigger in Leader
JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com
Remember the ancient nursery rhyme “Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater? He had a wife and couldn’t keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell, And there he kept her very well.”
Peter’s pumpkin was probably even larger than the pumpkins entered in the Pumpkin Growing Contest that has been taking place at Leader, Sask. for the past three years.
The Pumpkin Growers in Leader started in 2018 when a group of nine friends engaged in a friendly giant pumpkin growing competition.
Chris Stimson from Leader recalls when the competition first started.
NOTICE OF POLL SCHOOL DIVISION ELECTIONS
“It got quite competitive and there was a lot of interest so we opened it up to the public and turned it into a fundraiser for our community.”
Not only did the pumpkins keep on growing, but the pumpkin growing contest continued to grow as well. Now in 2020, the pumpkins and the competition are bigger and better than ever, doubling their 2019 entries with over 70 contestants competing.
The contest has a Facebook page where contestants sign up for the contest by submitting a $40 entry fee, after which they receive their seeds early in the spring. Every contestant is on their own as to how they cultivate the best pumpkin growing tactics. The one rule that applies is “no help sites”; it’s every pumpkin grower for themselves.
Chris Stimson noted that pumpkin growing tips vary a great deal amongst the growers.
Entries weighed in from 28 pounds and up. Although the light weights obviously weren’t going to place in the weight competition, they could be eligible for the ugliest or prettiest pumpkin prizes. After much deliberation, it was decided the Eastwood’s pumpkin would take the prettiest pumpkin award and Tim Ehrman claimed the prestigious ugliest pumpkin honours. At the end of the day, a pumpkin may be ugly on the outside, but it still tastes good on the inside.
Saskatchewan are fond of saying, “There’s always next year” to try again. Everyone’s hoping the pumpkins keep growing bigger along with the number of entries, so the Pumpkin Growers can continue making larger contributions towards projects in their community. Even Peter, the pumpkin eater couldn’t grow something as big as that, while having a whole lot of fun and giving back to the community. And after the winners receive their prizes, they’ll happily be able to drink a toast to themselves and their prize pumpkins.

James adds fuel to debate: LeBron or Jordan
He really didn’t need to prove it again, but LeBron James has confirmed he is the face of the National Basketball Association.
In fact, the 35-year-old Ohioan may have climbed the almost impossible mountaintop: As good as, or better than, Michael Jordan? Discuss.
Annoyed that he was overlooked again as the NBA’s most valuable player after leading Los Angeles Lakers to first place in the Western Conference, James made sure everyone took notice of his greatness by taking the Lakers to the 2020 NBA championship, the weird one within a ‘bubble’ at Orlando, Florida’s Disney World complex. Oh, he had some help from Anthony Davis and a few other minions but it was the LeBron James show from start to finish, as James won his fourth NBA title (with his third team) in the Lakers 4-2 Finals’ victory over Miami Heat.
It was with the Heat — “I’m taking my talents to South Beach” — where James won his first two NBA titles, abandoning his hometown Cleveland Cav-
aliers to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to win NBA titles in 2011-12 and 201213. Appeasing his home state, the Akron- born-and-raised James returned to the Cavaliers in 2014, and in the spring of 2016, led the Cavs to their first, and his third, NBA title. But then Hollywood beckoned and … well, LeBron and Hollywood simply go together. He starred in Space Jam and is involved in next year’s Space Jam — A New Legacy. He has three mansions in Greater L.A. — reportedly valued at $36 million, $23 million and $21 million. And oh, by the way, he can still play a little ball.
When he signed with the Lakers prior to the start of the 201819 season, the team was an also-ran, coming off a non-playoff season. After missing 27 games due to injury in his first season with L.A., LeBron was absent from the playoffs for the first time in 13 seasons.
But the supporting cast was improved, Davis the most important piece of the puzzle, and LeBron made the most of the opportunity. While the Lakers

wanted to win another title for LeBron, they also wanted to win one in memory of Lakers’ legend Kobe Bryant, killed in a helicopter crash in January.
No one has played more NBA playoff games than James. But some critics still say he doesn’t qualify for the NBA’s ‘Mount Rushmore’, something to which James takes exception. “I think personally thinking I have something to prove fuels me,” James told Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “It fuelled me because no matter what I’ve done in my career . . . there’s still little rumblings of doubt or comparing me to the history of the game . . .”
Notice is hereby given under The Tax Enforcement Act that unless the arrears and costs appearing opposite the land and title number described in the following list are fully paid before the 27 day of December, 2020, an interest based on a tax lien will be registered against the land.
Note: A sum for costs in an amount required by subsection 4(3) of The Tax Enforcement Act is included in the amount shown against each parcel.
Different players, different eras. LeBron or Jordan? The discussion could go on forever.
• NOT SportsCenter, on Twitter: “Did You Know: This is the first time Lakers fans have had their team win a title since 2018, when they were Warriors fans.”
• Funny guy Steve Burgess of Vancouver: Everything is different in 2020. For example Canucks fans are calling for Jim Benning to be carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey, whereas it’s usually Easter when they want him crucified.”

A favourite place to hang out in southwestern Saskatchewan
JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com
There’s nothing quite as appealing as good food and beautiful scenery. That combination is available at the Berry Barn located seven miles south of Saskatoon on Valley Road. Visitors can take advantage of the delicious food served in the restaurant and browse in the adjacent shop, or they can tour along the river path. You may even catch a glimpse of a wedding ceremony taking place on your travels, since this is a popular wedding venue.
For the past twenty years, the Berry Barn has been offering something new for every season. When it’s berry picking time, visitors can pick or buy berries from the 28-acre saskatoon berry orchard. The flower gardens are at their prime during the summer months, and youngsters can enjoy riding pedal go carts, navigate a bale maze, and eat tasty ice cream from the ice cream hut.
The greenhouse is always a popular attraction for those visitors who possess a green thumb. This year the Berry Barn added a petting zoo, where children can feed the goats, and there’s pony rides too. Now that Hallowe’en is quickly approaching, pumpkins are in demand, and there’s lots to choose from at the Berry Barn. If you choose to venture indoors, you’ll find a gift shop filled with saskatoon spreads, dressings, gifts and souvenirs.
The Berry Barn closes for a few months following Christmas, but during the remainder of the year, patrons can always enjoy Ukrainian/Canadian homestyle food made from scratch at the indoor eatery, waffles with all the toppings and freshly baked bread.
And you don’t want to miss one of my favourite treats - a hot cup of coffee and a delicious slice of Saskatoon berry pie!
Inside the eatery and attached sunroom you’ll feel cozy, even on the coolest day. A place where you can relax by the fireplace with friends and family, and gaze at the view of the South Saskatchewan River. The picturesque scenery along the river is not only relaxing, but offers a prime opportunity for a photo op.
One more way farmers help each other out
JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com
Prairie farmers are known for helping each other out, whether it’s being on hand to bring water to a field fire, or offering some much needed advice. A popular vehicle to deliver advice comes in the form of blogging.
Some farmers video-blog, like Quick Dick McDick from the Foam Lake area, who has accumulated a huge following with his quick wit (no pun intended). Like Quick Dick, most bloggers use a pseudo name. Quick Dick has said he uses an alternate name in order to protect his mother from embarrassment.
Whatever the reason may be, most bloggers use an alternate identification. Never-the-less, anyone who has ever lived in a rural prairie community knows that it’s virtually impossible to hide a person’s true identity for more than 24 hours.
Which explains why it didn’t take long for me to successfully identify a blogger who calls himself “The Crackpot Farmer”. Crackpot explained that the purpose of his blog is to help small farms be profitable by saving money and increasing productivity in unusual and creative (or crackpot) ways.
“Unless you are buying new machinery or lots of chemical and fertilizer, no one wants to help you figure out ways of doing things easier and cheaper,” Crackpot surmised.
As a result, Crackpot sends off a blog every month or so. “I do blog more in winter and try to discuss projects and experiments from the summer and plan for next year,” Crackpot said. “Part of the reason I don’t post much is because it takes several hours over the next few days to keep up with comments and messages.”
Blogging is interactive, and allows his like-minded crackpot
farmers the opportunity to discuss projects and learn together. “My phone rings a lot with people asking questions (especially about grain drying) and we have helped people save thousands of dollars.” By we, Crackpot refers to his wife and other family members who all work together on the farm, and contribute additional ideas and advice.
Though blogging is both helpful and fun, Crackpot doesn’t make any money from it. “We’re using this opportunity to help others,” he said.
One of his posts said, “I mentioned my idea to my agronomist and he looked at me like this was truly a crackpot idea. So I think I’m on the right track!” We’re not sure if Crackpot was on the right track, but he and his fellow farmer bloggers are definitely headed in the right direction, as they engage in one more way to help each other out.
Is Hallowe’en holy?
Breaking down the term Hallowe’en into its simplest form, it means ‘holy evening” It sounds so innocent. Few Christians know or remember its origin. Encyclopediat Brittanica states: “In ancient Britain and Ireland, the Celtic Festival of Samhain was observed on October 31, at the end of summer…. The souls of the dead were supposed to revisit their homes on this day and the autumnal festival acquired sinister significance, with ghosts, witches, goblins, black cats, fairies and demons of all
kinds said to be roaming about. It was the time to placate the supernatural powers controlling the processes of nature. In addition, Halloween was thought to be the most favorable time for divinations concerning marriage, luck, health, and death. It was the only day on which the help of the devil was invoked for such purposes.”
Druid tradition taught that during the night of October 31 demons, witches, and evil spirits roamed the earth in wild and furious gambols of joy to greet the arrival of ‘their season’--the long nights and early dark of the winter months... The only way, it seemed, for scared humans to escape the persecution of the demons was to offer them things they like, especially dainty food and sweets. One could escape the fury of these creatures by disguising himself as one of them.” (Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs by Francis Weiser.)

And so children today innocently don the costumes of vampires, ghosts, skeletons, demons, witches and evil spirits to ‘trick or treat’, thus copying ancient pagan practices. This yearly custom continues with an ever-increasing friendliness toward evil entities. Thought question? Do these practices represent holiness?
Familiarity with evil is dangerous, fellow Christian. Everywhere forbidden knowledge is being foisted on unwary people—knowledge of evil— knowledge of demons, witches, evil spirits. A real world of such evil forces exists. A world that is shadowy and dangerous. At the outset appearing enticing and exciting, its end is in very fact truly death dealing. We are not left ignorant in regard to what our attitude should be. By the authority of God’s word we are warned that “he who pursues evil goes to his death.” Proverbs 11:19 (NIV)
With a little preplanning there can be many healthy alternatives to satisfy children who need to experience safe and wholesome adventure and mystery. It takes time and thought and preplanning. Years ago, when we lived in a small town, this writer recognized the neighbour children as they knocked on our door and we gave them healthy prewrapped snacks and a small character building story sheet, or children’s story book. Rather than dressing to impersonate ghosts and goblins, children who love to dress up can put on costumes to impersonate famous Bible characters in a kind of Bible heroes’ party. The purpose of alternative activity on this yearly event is to “overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21 NIV), and to make being a Christian a healthy, holy, satisfying life for children as well as adults.
