Kerrobert Courtroom Gallery features Christine Code

The Kerrobert Courtroom Gallery held the opening reception for the Prairiescapes Art Exhibit on November 10th. The exhibit features 23 landscape paintings, created by Christine Code from Eston, Sask. The show will be open Monday to Friday, until December 31st, and all paintings are for sale.

This self-taught painter was born and raised in Eston, and has been a full time painter for sixteen years. Her paintings are unique, as she will start and finish a painting in a single sitting. Her husband Travis handcrafts natural wood frames for her paintings. “The frames were a big hit at the show. They are made of specialty woods that a lot of people might not have heard of,” Christine said.

Christine’s love of painting began when her parents gave her oil paints, brushes and her dad built her an easel. “I was ten or eleven,” she said. “And I had a really good art teacher in high school.”

She said she fell out of painting in her teens and early 20’s. “In my mid20’s I decided to pick it back up again. By then I was ready to commit, be persistent, and do it almost every day. Here I am now, sixteen years later, doing it full time, and I’m doing quite well.”

With the help of the Internet, Christine has sold paintings to other countries. She also shipped three paintings to a group exhibit in New Jersey, where

one of the paintings was sold to a gallery owner. Christine also does commission work. “I am constantly booked until July of next year. I purposely space them out so I have time to do my own paintings,” she said. “When you’re painting from a photo it’s really stressful. The real pleasure is doing what you like to do.”

Being self taught, this artist says she learns by practicing every day and as a result gets better and better. “I’ve taught a few classes at the high school, and a few adults in a private setting in my home. I’m considering doing a workshop. Teaching adults who have some painting experience will be rewarding,” she said, as most of her teaching thus far has been with kids or people who have never painted before.

The future looks bright for Christine, as she was recently contacted by the Western Art Showcase for the Calgary Stampede. It will be another great opportunity to showcase her work.

Whether she’s preparing for an art show or not, Christine continues to paint every day. “I feel a sense of urgency. Every time I go outside I’m inspired by something. There’s so much to do and so much to learn. The craft is like an evolutionary process; there’s no end goal. One painting leads into the next painting, and the next painting wouldn’t have existed without the one before. I’ll never feel like my job is done,” she said.

Christine Code’s Prairiescapes Art Exhibit at Kerrobert Courtroom Gallery features 23 landscape paintings framed in specialty woods.

U18 AAA Sharks return to Wilkie

Four years can be a long time between visits, but that ended up being the time gap for the Battlefords Sharks U18 female AAA team as they are set to host the Swift Current U18 AAA Innovation Credit Union Wildcats at the SaskCan Community Centre for an important Saskatchewan Female U18 AAA Hockey League matchup on December 5th.

The timing couldn’t be any better either, as Wilkie product Brooklyn Salewski gets to play in her own barn yet again. She was a part of the Northwest Sharks U15 female AA team that has held games in Wilkie over the last couple of years.

“I’m excited to be playing back in my hometown rink again and that we can host a female AAA game. Hopefully we have a good crowd with local residents and surrounding area who can enjoy coming to watch. can enjoy coming to watch” said Salewski

Speaking to Sharks Head Coach Ricci Girolami on a hunting trip, he offered up some insight.

“It’ll be my first time coaching in Wilkie. It’s always important to play in these smaller centres to promote the girls game. It is important to grow the grassroots part of this league, and give girls who may not have a chance to watch some high caliber hockey” said Girolami.

“(This is) something we should be doing more often as a league. We hope to showcase the Sharks to the best of our ability” he added.

The Sharks look to build off a busy and tough start to the 202122 season, playing 14 games in the first 6 weeks of the season.

On the other end, there is no shortage of west central talent on the Wildcats roster, as both Laiken Swan (Plenty) and rookie Addison Eurich (Luseland) are off to great starts in the U18 circuit. Swan and Eurich are joined by Kindersley products Caitlyn Perlinger, Shelby Rublee and Gracie Georget.

Wildcats head coach Terry Pavley echoed Girolami’s thoughts about showing off the girls game of hockey.

“We are really excited about the opportunity to play in Wilkie. Anytime we get the opportunity to showcase our league in smaller centres around Saskatchewan, it (always becomes) a great way to promote our league and both of our programs” said Pavley in a November 5th text message conversation

The Wildcats are also no stranger to playing neutral site games, as Pavley mentioned how positive an experience it has been for both his team and the communities they have visited.

He also praised the play of both Swan and Eurich.

“Laiken has a great shot, with a quick release and has good offensive instincts around the opposing net” said Pavley. “Addison will be a real good player in this league as she gains more game experience due to her hockey IQ, work ethic and coach-ability.”

Sharks and Wildcats drop the puck at 1:30pm, with ticket prices at $5 per adult, $3 for students, and a guaranteed $300 50/50 sponsored by OA Leather Supply.

Issued at the Town of Kerrobert this 15th day of November, 2021. Tara Neumeier – CAO – Town of Kerrobert

Icame across a desperate call for help the other day on social media. A young woman from Cuba had posted a video, pleading for help. Here is what she had to say ....

OPINION

CHECK IT OUT with Joan Janzen

SOS or open debate?

“My Cubans have been in the streets for days asking for freedom, and this is important because the Cuban government is making fake news. We are alone and no one is saying any-

thing, so it’s important. My Cubans started protesting, asking for freedom. The government responded to them by putting military and police on the streets, shooting them, hitting them,

killing them. And the one thing they have to defend themselves is social media. And they cut our internet so they can’t show the world what is happening. I want to ask you to help us. Help the mothers who don’t know where their sons are, the sons who don’t know where their fathers are.

Lots of kids have disappeared. There are lots of kids that have been killed.

“They are recruiting teenagers from their own houses, and they’re obligated to fight their own brothers and sisters on the street, and if they don’t they go to jail. Cuban government gets help from Venezuela with more military power. Tell the rest of the world what is happening. They have nothing, only social media to tell the world what is happening. This is not about politics, this is about humanity. Our obligation as humans, when we see something that is not fair, to say this is not fair for the Cuban people. It’s like nobody cares.”

Whether this SOS

was issued last week or last year, it does illustrate why censorship is dangerous. Recently our Prime Minister said this to the Paris Peace Forum, “Hate speech, disinformation and online extremism can’t be allowed to prevent people from enjoying the freedom that cyberspace offers.” He was advocating for more censorship. But is his definition of hate speech anything that opposes his narrative? Is his definition of disinformation any facts that contradict what he claims to be true? Is his concept of “freedom that cyberspace offers” defined as freedom to agree with his “democratic values”?

As I scrolled through numerous news stories, division is the common thread throughout them all. Government plans to phase out Sask. and Alberta’s energy sector, imposed mandates, job losses, inflation or mushrooming government debt, are just a few examples of the issues that are resulting in divisions. More petitions have been

signed in the last several years than ever before, yet most are ignored. If the government adds increased censorship, people are forced to find other options to make their voices heard.

The young woman’s words echo once again, “My Cubans have been in the streets for days asking for freedom.” It’s an example of what lies ahead when government not only refuses to listen to the voices of every day Canadians, but also censors them.

What do you prefer? Sending out an SOS, or being able to participate in open debate and problem solving?

Better utilization of U.S. health care needed

Long before COVID-19, people were complaining Canada’s public health system was broken. It isn’t. COVID-19 may have actually proven that. Yes, our public health system keeps our taxes high. And, yes, it may not always necessarily produce the cutting edge medical advancements that we see from the U.S. … although, why Americans are world leaders in health care advancement is complex.

Perhaps as critical as being the richest nation in the world is having a critical population mass, creating a situation where doctors are allowed to delve into the treatment of rarer conditions that don’t often occur in countries with smaller population bases.

The net result of all this has made the Americans world leaders in medical advancements, so it was hardly surprising that the U.S. would lead the way in developing vaccines for COVID-19.

Perhaps more surprising is that the U.S. — with the world’s best medicine at its disposal — would also lead the world in COVID-19-related deaths.

Ironically, the cost of having the greatest health care in the world is that not everyone in the U.S can afford to access it.

This is evidence of the much steeper human toll Americans have paid after nearly two years of a worldwide pandemic.

We in Canada were admittedly slower in developing and distributing vaccines. Because we have a public system more likely to pinch pennies, provinces like Saskatchewan ran out of ICU space when hit by the fourth wave.

But it’s even more important to note that Canada has only had 29,458 known deaths from COVID-19 or 784 per 100,000 people. By comparison, the U.S. has now registered 762,206 COVID-19 deaths or 2,322 per 100,000 people.

Clearly, our health care system isn’t any more broken than others.

That said, it’s actually very helpful living next door to the U.S. as a health care giant as it is living next to the U.S. as an economic giant. Sometimes, we accept this and better utilize this relationship.

It angers the left and Medicare purists that some people go to the U.S. for certain medical procedures because they can afford to do so. They have done so

Proper Covid protocols, show of vaccines required

for years because it avoids waiting in the Canadian queue for non-life-threatening surgeries.

Even more irritating to the left has been governments like Saskatchewan recognizing that maybe allowing some hybrid elements of privatized health care in Canada might help avoid richer Canadians going to the U.S. for treatment and enhance our system here.

But richer or poorer, what we should all agree that on very rare occasions, our still very good health system in Canada cannot provide medical treatments and that e should all pitch in and cover the costs for treatment.

Sadly this hasn’t been the reality for the family of five-year-old Conner Finn, who has incurred an $832,000 bill for surgery only available at the University of Minnesota to deal with his rare and sometimes fatal cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD).

The Finns requested funding for out-of-country

treatment for Conner that is available when a procedure isn’t available in Canada. Initially, they were denied by the health department bureaucracy, but that ruling was overturned by the Health Service Review Committee.

“Unfortunately, the ministry decided to ignore that recommendation and still denied our claim a second time,” father Craig Finn said last spring.

Because the surgery was needed immediately, the Finns had to liquidate their retirement savings to pay for it. Last week, they went to the Saskatchewan legislature to plead directly to Health Minister Paul Merriman to reconsider and offer help.

The Saskatchewan Party government should do this. And it should have never come to this.

We have a great health system, but we need to recognize its shortcomings.

Mostly, we need to abide by its very principle — that everyone has the right to health care.
