Sending many thanks to all those who support Culture and Recreation

On behalf of the Kerrobert Legion, I’d like to thank everyone who participated in and attended this years Remembrance Day ceremony. The school children, the community members, the RCMP and local Legion members old and new are all appreciated. The Legion Branch #88 meets monthly and with new comrades joining and our ceremony at full capacity, the group is committed to continuing this important ceremony of Remembrance again next year.

With Remembrance Day past and the recent heavy snowfall the winter season is on our minds. Many groups are already at work preparing special events for the Christmas season and our facilities rentals are much higher than the past two years offering numerous ways for people to gather and celebrate. Be sure to check out the calendar of events to read up on the what you can look forward to.

Mental Health is challenged in the winter months more than any other time of the year. Our Recreation Department is committed to offering a number of ways to keep

our residents healthy both physically and mentally. We have recently posted local mental health numbers where they are easily seen including the bathroom stalls in the Rec facilities. We have also been an advocate for the West Central Crisis Center which will result in more days of direct service in Kerrobert. We continue to support those who struggle financially through the Kerrobert KidSport organization and we also continue to subsidize ways to stay active in various daily programs including Walk this Way and Shuffle Club at the PCC and the new Learn to Skate program at the Arena. Providing ways for our residents to connect through events remains a priority and we have done so through the recently successful Harvest Festival but also through monthly Book club and weekly Parent and Tots at the Library to name a few. Recent requests from the community to increase public skate and shinny time were considered at the last Rec Board meeting. Tracking usage has shown us that the want is high as we have seen up to 35 people out enjoying our

ice. While we must consider costs of offering free programming we will always listen to the requests of our community. We are happy to say that we have been making every effort to increase the time and are committed to providing between 40-50 hours a month of public skate and shinny time and using prime time when there are no rentals. Thank you to those who took the time to reach out to the Rec Department; it encouraged us to take a closer look and has had a very positive result.

Our Handibus continues to operate on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays. Thank you to our capable and friendly drivers! If you

are looking for a unique gift for a loved one, books for $60.00 can be purchased from the Town office to be used throughout the year. Daily rides remain at $6/ trip. Call 834-7464 to book the bus!

Are you looking to purchase a memorable Christmas gift and support a local organization? Kerrobert History books are on sale for $20 from the Town office. Although the books were published over 20 years ago, their information remains part of our local history that may be of interest to a new generation of families. We continue to sell several books a year and all money raised goes to the Kerrobert Museum.

The Curling Club has nearly completed ice installation and they are soon ready to begin their programming. The Curling Rink Double Take Out Lounge is open during many hockey games. If you are interested in working the Curling Rink Bar, please contact the Rec Office at 834-2344.

As another year is coming to a close there are many thanks that must be sent out to all those who

support Culture and Recreation in our community. First to our surrounding RM’s including Mariposa, Oakdale and Progress who show their support by sitting on many local boards including the Recreation Board as well as by giving an annual financial contribution to Recreation. Their support is outstanding and a major part of the success of Recreation in our community. I am well aware that not every community in this province is supported the way we are by our RM’s and I hope to continue this important and positive relationship. Thank you to the individuals who have donated to the various projects that were happening in 2022. Thank you also to the businesses who donate in a variety of ways either through time, money, discounts, sharing of their equipment, their skill or through advertising at our Curling Rink or Skating Rink. Billboard advertising at the Skating Rink and Curling Rink alone has brought in over $10,000 of revenue. Please remember these and all local businesses when you do your Christmas shopping this season.

Kerrobert and Luseland food banks provide

BY JOAN JANZEN

Your Southwest Media Group

The Kerrobert Food Bank and the Luseland Food Bank are busy looking after the needs of people in their respective communities. Anyone needing a food hamper can contact the six volunteers of the Kerrobert Food Bank and make an appointment for a pick up at the Kerrobert United Church on the second Tuesday of each month.

Volunteer, Carol Grosskopf said they have seven volunteers, most of whom are retired. Those needing food are asked to call the Monday before Tuesday pick up to make an appointment. The volunteers then use funds on hand to purchase eggs, bread and milk.

“We cover Kerrobert, Dodsland, Plenty and Major,” Carol explained. As Christmas is on the horizon, the food bank will give out vouchers from the local grocery store.

The Kerrobert School recently did a We Scare Away Hunger drive. “I gave the school a list of things we needed, and the staff assigned a particular item to each class, which the students brought to school. It was well received,” Carol said. The Credit Union also did a draw, where names were entered into a draw if you brought a food item.

The community of Kerrobert has been very supportive, as many businesses and organizations have done food drives throughout the

years. Much of the food collected goes to a group of people who have been working all their lives, but because of health issues, are unable to work and are too young to collect a pension.

The food bank only needs to voice their need, and an organization steps up to help. “We have a very supportive community,” Carol said. “It’s a big thing that we can use the United Church and not pay rent.

We have deep freezes and a room that is ours to use, and don’t pay rent or utilities,” she explained. “We’ll contact other food banks if we get a lot of something we can’t use.”

One of those nearby food banks is located in Luseland. Andy Finley is the newest member, who is joined by Marge Thrun, Victor Delhommeau, Marianne Delhommeau and Barb Klinger. The volunteers deliver a hamper to anyone requesting one on the 15th of each month. A lot of the people don’t drive, so the Luseland volunteers work it out, so they deliver to everybody.

Andy Finley coordinated a fundraiser on October 31 called the Frightening Food Frenzy campaign, where $4,100 in donations of food and money was raised with the help of young volunteers. Thanks to those efforts, the food bank is well stocked until Christmas.

Kerrobert School conducted a We Scare Away Hunger Drive.

The cartoon pictured two caged canaries in a coal mine. One canary said to the other, “If you really want to mess them up, lay down and have a nap.”

Dating back to 1911, it was a coal mining tradition to use canaries in coal mines to detect carbon monoxide and other toxic gases before they hurt humans. When 18-year-old Chloe Cole was being interviewed on Viva Frei Live, she described herself as “the canary in the coal mine.”

The young woman has stepped out to tell her story, even though she receives much opposition. “I try to leave my parents out of it because I get a lot of hate online, and I don’t want them to be harassed like I am,” she said.

She shares what she learned in her own personal life in order to let the older generation know what is really going on with the younger generation. Chloe noted the advent of social

media has changed the way children grow up.

Chloe grew up in a very supportive family and described her childhood as pretty normal. She loved playing with dolls, wearing dresses, but having so many brothers rubbed off on her because she also liked playing video games and playing with toy trucks.

“They used to call it being a tomboy, and there’s nothing wrong with it,” she said.

“I wish I had known that when I started puberty early at the age of nine.”

She was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of seven, received medication at age ten, and was later diagnosed with autism. Prior to middle school, she moved to a different neighbourhood and turned to the internet to make friends. While online, she said the algorithm kept bombarding her with imagery and soft porn. She said she was experiencing “woke ideology” before she even knew there was

such a thing. “I was hearing from 12-19-year-olds, and I noticed how closely knit these people seemed. That’s something I really wanted for myself,” she said.

About six months later, she wrote her parents a letter saying she was now their son. Her parents felt at a loss and sought out a professional child psychologist, who diagnosed their child with gender dysphoria on the first visit. Her parents were told adolescents are at high risk of committing

suicide, and if they didn’t affirm their kid, it would get worse.

“There wasn’t a whole lot of questions about other factors that played a part,” she said. “They allowed me to do whatever I wanted without questioning me.” At age 13, she got a prescription for blockers and testosterone and began experiencing extreme hot flashes.

When she was 13, she had been groped in class, and because she didn’t want that to happen again, she began binding her chest.

“It’s kind of brutal, and it actually caused some damage to my ribs that I still have today,” she explained. But she hadn’t told anybody about the groping incident because she didn’t think the school would have done anything.

After two years of wearing the super tight chest device in extremely hot California weather, she spoke to a therapist about wanting a double mastectomy. “About six months later, I got the operation,” she said. She was 15 years old, and the operation was covered by insurance.

Not only did they remove all her breast tissue, but they removed her nipples and placed them in a more masculine position. “It’s already a major operation and takes quite a toll on the body, but I can’t describe the healing process because of the nipple,” Chloe said. “It still hasn’t healed; it’s very upsetting.”

The emotional turmoil she experienced got progressively worse, and she assumed it was part of the recovery process. “But it wasn’t,” she said. Her school performance and attendance was at an all-time low, and she ended up dropping out several times.

About eleven months af-

ter her surgery, she attended a child psychology class where she learned about the bond between mother and baby during breastfeeding. “I had never thought about it, but during those lessons, I realized my ability to breastfeed was taken away from me, and I might not be able to have children,” Chloe said. “That was when everything fell apart.”

Chloe told her online friends about her change of heart. “It was pretty shocking to see people turn their backs on me like that. For a while, I lost all my friends online and in person. A lot of the support isn’t genuine. If you say the right thing by their standards they’ll give you support and love,” she said. “It’s hard to get any real help with this. I mostly got through with it on my own. Talking to people who are in the same situation helps. Having the support of my parents and brothers and sisters helps.”

So Chloe stayed quiet for a time and then realized it was wrong to not talk about her experience and her thoughts and feelings, which drove her to start speaking up.

“I realized I can’t be the only person who’s in this situation. And I’m not; I’m really not! Somebody has to speak up, and I don’t know who else will, so I’m kind of taking the responsibility upon myself,” she declared.

Chloe flashes her 100watt smile and continues to say, “It’s always kind of been my thing to go against the grain. I know that not everybody is going to support what I do. I don’t care about that; I just want to get things done. I’m just going to continue talking about my experience, and I hope that it changes things.”

This canary in the coal mine is a courageous soul.

Everyone has a history. Everything has a history. Even “history has a history” - as Marilynne Robinson writes in one of her essays. The facts, events, and figures of history are continuously reconstructed and erased. In a talk I gave recently at The Jasper Centre in Maple Creek, I shared a collection of stories about women who lived in the Victorian era and struggled not only to be seen and heard, but to bear witness to the struggles of others. Theirs were the gifts that did not conveniently fit into the roles ascribed to 19th-century women, that did not align with the rules and regulations of social convention and strangling etiquette.

Until I started researching the era, I had very little awareness of the context within which these women struggled. I was like a traveller landing in a foreign country. All I had was my history, my memories, my training, education and experiences. Going back in time by absorbing the

letters, diaries, newspapers, and other archival material was a humbling experience. It adjusted my attitude and my approach to my writing. Like the women reporters before me, I try to do my research, lean in, listen, and, if need be, approach tentatively, as they did. I can’t know what it was like to be a woman reporter, farmer, lecturer, at a time when to get an education and dare to vote for change was to risk, as the medical and cultural authorities of the Victorian era warned, losing the capacity to pro-create, being reviled and rejected by all men, getting admitted to an insane asylum. I’ve lived in fourteen towns and cities in my life. I try to approach new places in the same way I approach new topics of research: with an open mind. But I realize we urban types often arrive in rural places as bearers of gifts from the New World as if we came from the future and not just the suburbs. (Or, in my case, from the heart of an exciting city, where trams trundled and ambulances blazed by my front door all night

long. Where I could run out and grab a falafel, a burger, a nori roll or a latte any time of day or night. Where one Advent evening, feeling sad, I pulled my parka over my pyjamas, sprinted across a parking lot and sank into a cathedral pew as the evening mass opened with soaring, soothing hymns performed by the St. Michael’s Boys Choir.)

Suffice it to say: we come with our own histories. Some of us, like me, came to escape the over-stimulation distractions of the city. Some came because of Grasslands National Park. I also came because my mom was born here. I romanticized the rural world. I never gave my transition from inner city to the outer reaches of human habitation much thought or considered that it might be a bit of a culture shock. I assumed I’d be in love with it all. And I was instantly enamoured with the fact that animals outnumbered people, that the sky was so full of stars I couldn’t find my usual constellations and that sunsets stopped me in my tracks every night.

The longest place I ever stayed in one place was eleven years. I’m about to enter nine years in Val Marie. But I’m still “from away.” Or “a blow-in.” I got no arguments with the moniker, but I forget that my eternal newness means my suggestions, my “big ideas,” might not be of any interest to established “locals.” It’s worth asking: at what point do I get to have an opinion about how things are done around here? Because I’ve been guilty of being an opinionated know-it-all, it’s not restricted to my time in Val Marie; in university, my nickname was “And Another Thing.” it’s genetic. I was born like this.

I live here, but I will never be a “local.” That takes generations. This place is made of years and years and years of a handful of families with their placed stories and memories. And we can’t just roll into town loving the rustic quality of the place only to expect, after the charm wears off, all the amenities of the city. I’m paraphrasing a local motel owner, Don Brown, who two days ago knocked on my door, handed me a couple of pages of

notes on his thoughts about newcomers and said: “Here, do what you want with these.”

Don himself is a part-time resident of over twelve years, but he’s financially invested in the village, I suspect more than any other resident - blowin or old-timer.

He’s frustrated with, as he writes: “people who move into small rural communities who want to duplicate the amenities, cultures and customs of their former place of residence with a failure to understand, and are not willing to learn, the history or the norms of their new place of residence.”

He wonders “why some people even come here, what they thought they’d find in a rural community.”

He’s baffled by “complaints about horse manure, dust from traffic, absence of cable tv and lack of a municipal sewer system.”

(Which we now have). I make my living as a writer. I watch and record as much as I can and hopefully bear fair witness. What I see is a place in transition. For so long - and when mom lived here - this was a farming and ranching community on the border of Montana. It still is. But to some, we are “The Gateway to Grasslands National Park.” (Though I doubt locals refer to us as that.” Tourism is now a major industry. But there are still people here who remember when there was no park. People were conflicted, and some still are, as to how they feel about the influx of new people. I think my friend Ervin said it best when he reminded me that when people sold their ranches, some locals were saddened. “We didn’t gain a park,” he explained, “so much as we lost a neighbour.”

Dr. Holmes Scholarship awarded to six students

BY JOAN JANZEN

This year, six students are recipients of scholarships from the Dr. Holmes Scholarship Fund, which has been assisting students for 37 years. The recipients are: Shelby Hobbs, Eston (Dental Assisting), Brendan Ritchie, Eatonia (Pharmacy), Cole Elaschuk, Eston (Medicine), Torie Holmes, Kindersley (Dental Hygiene), Sheldon Cannon, Kindersley (Medicine), Jordana Day, Eston (Nursing).

Scholarships are awarded to students from the area that was covered by Dr. Holmes practice, which includes Elrose, Eatonia, Eston, Kindersley, Brock and Kyle. A maximum of eight students can receive the scholarship each year. Applicants who are pursuing a career in the health field were required to apply by mid-September to be eligible.

Each applicant is required to submit a transcript of marks from their most recent year of study, a proof of full-time enrolment letter, a volunteer involvement reference, employment reference, as well as an academic reference. A

selection committee awards the scholarships based on qualifications.

It was just a year ago, on November 2nd, that the well-loved Dr. Stewart Holmes passed away at the age of 93 years. He loved to attend an annual tea where the scholarship recipients were invited in honour of their dedication in pursuing a career in health care. Although the tea hasn’t occurred for several years, the scholarship continues as the lasting legacy of Dr. Holmes. It is made possible through the generous donations from the local communities and beyond.

Growing Through Grief: Love, Loss and the Holidays

BY ANGELA CLEMENT for Your Southwest Media Group

Christmas has always been important to me. I love the magical feeling of the Christmas season and the way Christmas music sings to my soul.

Last year when I lost my husband Blaine at the end of October I was not sure how I was going to get through Christmas but my plan was to go through the motions regardless. Blaine and I had together picked out some outdoor Christmas decorations for our new home and since my family was with me for the celebration of life I had them help me put them up before they left. He passed on October 26th and I know no one would have given it a second thought had I turned the lights out and skipped Halloween and Christmas altogether but I listened to my gut and decided I didn’t want to just skip it.

I spent Christmas with Blaine’s family. It felt right. We alternate years and it just so happened that last year was the year to spend with his family. I am not saying that it was easy. It was certainly not. I cried almost every day. It was hard but still magical in its own way. I spoke to Blaine each time I felt the need and he was there for me in so many ways. I felt his love through friends, family and his voice through healers that I was in contact with. He kept letting me know he was still here in spirit and I gently eased into continuing our relationship in this new way.

The holidays are coming

up and if you have lost someone close you are likely feeling deep grief and sadness. You will remember previous holidays and how special they were and you think to yourself they can never be the same. This is true. It is sad when we look back and remember those good times knowing that we will never have those back. Over time we will start to look back with gratitude and love for all that we shared with our loved ones. The memories will become less painful and more precious. Believe that you can heal and grow through grief with the correct tools and support. Believe you can create beautiful new memories too.

At first it seems that all we can do is long for the past but over time, and this time frame is different for everyone, we can start to realize our thoughts are what affect our emotions and we can begin to bring ourselves to recognize what we truly desire for our life going forward. We learn to live from our hearts. This means no matter what happens, no matter what emotions come up for us we

We are excited to tell you about a new program in Kindersley called FoodMesh, a collaboration between Kindersley Christian Fellowship and Buy-Low Foods. This program makes free groceries available to individuals in need by collecting surplus food and groceries from local stores.

Please see the details below on how you can access this program and get free groceries. Everyone is welcome and this program is operating every week.

When: Every week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:00 p.m.

Location: Christian Fellowship Church (East Door) 800 - 12th Ave. E., Kindersley, SK

Please bring a grocery bag or box with you.

For more information, please contact Kindersley Christian Fellowship at 306-463-6146 or Barb at 306-460-9304.

start to embrace them rather than resist them or fear them. It is only when we embrace all the emotions that we can actually feel gratitude, joy and happiness. Check in with your body occasionally and feel what is happening inside through breathing and/ or meditation exercises. You can also try journaling your feelings, scribbling or finding some other creative expressions to release that emotion. It is a great idea to reach out. Alone time is okay and actually important but I don’t recommend spending all your time alone. I had a great support group around me and when I felt like I needed more support I went looking for it. Find people that can help you sort out your thoughts and feelings. Do what makes you feel better and spend time with people that understand you and make you feel better. When your cup runs over it w ill spill over onto those around you. Just remember you have to do the work of filling it up for you first. If people offer help, make sure you consider taking them up on it. They want to help and it is okay for you to accept that help.

If you would like more suggestions about what you can do to help yourself through the holidays or ideas about how you might honor your loved one during the holiday season please contact me and I will be happy to share with you my free e-book as well as other free resources I offer. Take care and be patient with yourself this upcoming holiday season. Sending lots of love

Information on the Commission’s expectations of engagement can be found in Guide B of the Filing Manual (www.cer-rec.gc.ca/FilingManual).

If you anticipate that your lands, rights or interests may be adversely affected by the proposed abandonment, you may advise the Commission of your concerns about the proposed abandonment by filing a written statement of opposition or a request for a hearing within thirty (30) days of November 22, 2022. The written statement of opposition or request for hearing must set out the nature of your interest and concerns in relation to the proposed abandonment. A form to use for your statement of opposition or request for a hearing can be found at Templates for public participation. Part F of the form includes information on filing your statement of opposition/request for hearing form.

If a statement of opposition or request for hearing is filed with the CER, and is not frivolous or vexatious and is not withdrawn, then the Commission will order that a public hearing be conducted in respect of the abandonment application. In establishing a hearing process, the Commission will consider the nature of the application and the content of any statements of opposition or requests for hearing it receives.

Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) services – such as mediation and facilitation – are available from the CER to help parties resolve disputes outside of the Commission’s hearing processes.

Kerrobert Tigers show bright spots early in SWHL action

BY JORDAN PARKER Your Southwest Media Group

Though their first game of the season ended in defeat, Assistant Coach Brad Murphy saw plenty to be proud of in the SWHL Kerrobert Tigers.

After a difficult 2021-2022 season that landed them last in the league with a 1-12-0-1 record, the team put up an offensive battle against last year’s second-place Wilkie Outlaws.

The Remembrance Day tilt – while saw Wilkie pull out an 8-5 win – was at 4-3 going into the third, showing promise for the Tigers.

But it was tiredness from a largely new squad in Kerrobert that got the better of them.

“The guys came out well. For a lot of guys, this is their first game in the league. They played hard, and we learned a lot about the calibre of the league quickly,” said Murphy.

“But we were tired by the end. Wilkie has skilled guys, and we gave up a lot of chances in the third period for sure.”

The Outlaws struck in the third to make it 5-3, but were beaten on the powerplay by Steven Gottfried to bring it back to 5-4. However a Wilkie powerplay goal followed by another puck hitting twine two minutes later made it 7-4.

Wilkie always maintained the lead throughout the period, eventually taking the wind out

of a late Kerrobert goal by Ryder Kissick with an empty net tally at 19:20.

In a bright spot for the Tigers, five different players had two-point nights. Rylan Freed, Steven Gottfried, Landon Gross, Ryder Kissick, and Adam Oszeuski all had great nights. There are four more players who notched a point each.

“The new guys have impressed so far. We played well against a good team, and I’m not worried about us offensively. I think we’re looking better on both ends,” said Murphy.

“We had always hoped to find guys who could contribute down the lineup. We weren’t looking for 40-goal scorers. We have hardworking guys who play good hockey. It isn’t one guy carrying the load.”

They had extra guys in the lineup over the weekend, which also allowed Murphy to see how conditioning was for both games. Murphy was happy to see people in the stands also.

“It was Remembrance Day, so it wasn’t a full barn. But there was a good crowd,” he said. “It was our first game and it was a colder night. But people were happy to see new, young and local kids, and that sparked some interest.”

Murphy says the guys are beginning to get along and work well together at practice as well.

“It’s getting better, for sure. It will just improve with age and time, and we have a good

outlook. We’ll be fine,” he said.

“We’re excited to get different looks at all these teams in the league and see how we stack up.”

The coach was also impressed by the play of young goalie Nik Amundrud, who faced plenty of rubber in the first game. He stopped 47 of 54 shots against in a game against a powerhouse team.

“He’s an intelligent kid, and he just gives his all every game. He gave us what we expected,” said Murphy. “We gave Wilkie a lot of good looks, and when someone has that many chances, you’ll get scored on. We were tired at the end, but Nik did great.”

As the season goes on, Murphy is clear there’s one thing that will help them succeed in the future.

“Chemistry is at the core of this game. The more we play together, the more we will improve as a group from top-to-bottom,” he said.

The Tigers travelled to Macklin on Friday, November and came away with a 4-3 in a shoot-out win against the defending league champions.

On Saturday, the Tigers lost to the visiting Edam 3 Stars, 4-0.

Kerrobert will next face the Biggar Nationals in Biggar on November 26, 2022.

CALGARY – There’s a new trend in education – free online courses for people who just want to learn something of interest. The University of Alberta is now offering such a massive open online course (MOOC) on the “energy transition.”

And Pipeline Online editor Brian Zinchuk has just signed up. And so can you, at https://www.coursera.org/ learn/21st-century-energy-transition.

The course is free if you just want to audit it. It’s $66 if you want to take the tests and get a mark at the end.

It’s being led by Brad Hayes, president of Calgary firm Petrel Robertson Consulting. That firm is currently working on lithium from oilfield brine projects. Hayes has a PhD in geology.

Hayes said by email on Nov. 9, “I led the creation of the “21st Century Energy Transition – How do We Make it Work?” MOOC to bring out as much important information as possible on the future of energy, taking pains to be unbiased.

“Of course, there are a few of my LinkedIn non-fans who have a quick scan and decide it’s hopelessly biased in favour of fossil fuels, but that reflects their biases, not mine. We acknowledge the importance of the emissions issue right up front, but the entire thrust of the course is that we have to be driven by energy needs, not solely by emissions targets.”

He added, “I’d like to point out that there are a number

probably about 10 guest lecturers that are subject matter experts in their fields. So it’s not just me, chatting away for 28 lessons. We’ve got people that are supply chain experts, electricity grid experts, policy experts who are contributing expert opinions, not just not just

what I think.”

Hayes is also working on a similar course regarding lithium development. It will be offered through a different outlet in the coming months.

Watch for updates as Zinchuk progresses through the energy transition course.

Eston Riverside Regional Park holds successful online auction

BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group

The Eston Riverside Regional Park held a very successful online auction from November 1st to 12th, 2022, raising a total of $56,899.00. “It’s our first one that we’ve done, and we were overwhelmed,” Karen Mullis, chair of the park board, said. “We couldn’t believe the response!”

A total of 139 items were donated by businesses and individuals. The park’s committee of six dedicated individuals started soliciting for prizes, reaching out to the community, business partners and sports teams. Items began coming in from BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“We did a lot of foot work too, delivering letters to business suppliers in Saskatoon,” Karen said. The end result was overwhelming, with a wide variety of items being donated, everything from cookies to dining experiences.

Although the park holds fundraising raffles, a pancake breakfast and 50/50’s throughout the year, they decided to have a major fundraiser to finance a large project that needed to be done.

“This summer it was a bit of struggle getting a consistent water supply to the golf course and cabins, as the river has been low,” Karen explained. “It was time to kick off something that was going to generate some significant funds. Most of us thought we’d raise $30,000, but we doubled it!”

Karen, along with the other committee members, Kelly Knight, Shannon Beckstrand, Brent Swryda, Karen Holmes, and Tracy Clark, made the decision to relocate the irrigation pump to a new location where the water levels are deeper. Now they’re able to move ahead with that project, which will help get the water from

a new location in 2023 when they open the park. The water project is already underway, thanks to help from the maintenance personnel and willing volunteers.

Eston Riverside Regional Park includes 101 cabins, 12 permanent sites, a golf course, licensed club house, swimming pool and concession. “We turn into a little town from the end of June until mid-August,” Karen said. “We’re pretty grateful for everybody who supported the auction. I don’t know how many times we can say thank you.”

Don Brown elected as SEPA’s president

BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group

The Saskatchewan Emergencies Planners Association (SEPA) has a new president. Don Brown of Eston, now fills that role, and has been a member of the SEPA for thirteen years. Don has a significant amount of experience in this field. He was EMO Director of RM of Snipe Lake No. 259 for twelve years, Deputy Fire Chief at Eston and District Fire Department for a total of 21 years, and worked thirteen years as an EMS.

SEPA is a non-profit, member led corporation, representing the full spectrum of public and private emergency management. Members come from cities, towns, villages and rural municipalities throughout Saskatchewan. The entire Board of Directors consists of volunteers who offer a wealth of expertise, ideas and enthusiasm for the work of the Association. Don is one of those enthusiastic members, who is looking forward to his new duties.

“Through our annual conference we bring in speakers, do different exercises to help people throughout the province to prepare sustainable emergency plans. We bring in up to date training to the people of Saskatchewan,” Don explained.

The theme at this year’s conference, which was held from November 7th to 10th in Saskatoon, was “Picking up the pieces”, which dealt with clean-up after a storm or plough wind. As president, Don will be involved with finalizing the training that’s brought in, and welcoming the delegates and speakers. The conference begins with two days of training, followed by two days of special speakers.

“We make sure communities have up to date insurance, in case of hail or tornadoes. In order to ensure they have this in their plans, we bring in people who talk about an insurance plan, and a business continuity plan that allows businesses to function after a disaster,” Don explained. He also stressed the importance of networking at the conference, where individuals have the

opportunity to meet EMOs from other areas. This enables people to get different ideas and have that contact to get further information if needed.

Throughout the year, Don and other board members, are available to help communities throughout Saskatchewan to build a plan, and provide the most up-to-date training. An example is a presentation Don prepared a few years ago for the West Central Municipal Agency, who had invited the SEPA to speak to their members.

“SEPA started as an association in 1985 because there was nothing in the province to set up for emergencies. Over the years we’ve had other provinces wanting to be part of it. We’re a growing association. It’s a very interesting field, and I’m looking forward to being President,” Don concluded.

Kindersley & District Health & Wellness Foundation awarded Jocelyn Cannon with a $1,000 Brian Martin Bursary. Jocelyn is in her 4th year Kinesiology majoring in exercise and health. She will be doing Practicum Placement researching the effects of physical activity on individuals with cancer.

Leader comes out flying in White Mud action, but Eatonia Huskies take round one

BY JORDAN PARKER Your Southwest Media Group

The Leader Flyers got off to a rollicking start in White Mud Hockey League action.

They were riding high following a 7-6 win over the formidable Shaunavon Badgers last weekend, in a year where they’re returning to action in the league.

“It’s pretty exciting to get a win and get the fans excited. We definitely exceeded expectations in that first game,” said player Ri-

ley Feiffer.

“No one was expecting that. To see a team that’s never played together get a win was just truly exceptional.”

Feiffer was surprised and delighted to see his team push against a very skilled Shaunavon club.

“I think we’re not made of one or two super-skilled guys. We’re a team of hard workers, and hopefully we can carry this energy and come up with more wins,” he said.

One big thing is that

the scoring and points were well-distributed throughout the team. There was a standout in Tanner Tiel – who had a goal and three assists in the game –but things were ultimately well-rounded.

Eleven players on the Flyers knotted points, which led to a huge output over the whole roster.

“The scoring was just well divvied up. It wasn’t just two guys going and scoring the whole time. Some didn’t get points, but that’s just how hockey goes,” he said.

“It was a team game, and we were really happy to just see so much of this spread out.”

One of the best parts of the Flyers game was their special teams, both up a man or down one. They went 5/7 on the powerplay, and killed three of four penalties.

“We just had a really great percentage. It was a great start, even though we had some penalty trouble ourselves,” he said. “Special teams can be so important to winning games, and I was happy to see our work on the powerplay.”

However, following six goals against in their first game, the Flyers will be working on some defensive aspects of the game.

“We want to get better there. We did win 7-6, but that also

means we were scored on six times. We don’t want that every game,” he said.

“The team will continue to build chemistry. Many of us have played together in the past – but not as linemates.”

Though he had six goals against, the team was happy with goalie Tyler Marcotte, who was given Player Of The Game honours after game one.

“He just stood on his head the entire game, and was a huge part of the win. We just need to help him and stay out of the box more,” he said.

The Flyers are in the midst of a back-to-back against the newcomer Eatonia Huskies. The first game saw a 5-4 win, in favour of the visiting Huskies.

“Eatonia has guys that can score. We don’t want to put them on the powerplay. It’s actually exciting to be against them,” he said. “A lot of Eatonia and Leader guys played together in minors, so it’s a cool pairing against each other.”

Eatonia’s Head Coach Ryan Adams was ready for the healthy competition that comes with playing Leader as well.

“It’ll really be neat. There’s a rivalry from way back, and we both used to be in the Sask West league. We’re close towns with a bitter rivalry,” he said.

“Playing back-toback will be a lot of fun, but the best part is all about people in the stands. The community is excited, and we’re all local guys. Seeing the rink loud is incredible.”

He doesn’t know much about Leader –but knows his team should be alert and ready.

“They’re a young team. Just like this whole league, we’re new to it. We just need to play our game and truly go from there,” he said.

For Leader’s Feiffer, it was the crowd also

that really propelled the team against the Shaunavon Badgers.

“It was a huge turnout, and it was nuts in there. It was so awesome, and we loved all the energy that we were given,” he said. “We’re so thankful for volunteers. We love the effort that made this happen. We’re proud and can’t wait to see where the season goes.”

The Leader Flyers and Eatonia Huskies next play in Eatonia on Friday, November 25, 2022, at 8:30 p.m.

Ironhorse Jr Klippers look to play with more discipline

BY JORDAN PARKER

Your Southwest Media Group

The SJHL Kindersley Klippers are looking to shore up some important parts of their game to get to the next level.

After a heartbreaking 5-4 shootout loss to the Nipawin Hawks on Remembrance Day, Assistant Coach Brian McNaney and staff pinpointed some areas for work.

“The team just needs more discipline. Nipawin’s powerplay tore us apart,” said McNaney after all Nipawin’s goals were scored on the man advantage. They went 4/7 on the night.

“They’ve got a deadly set of players. They run their powerplay different than some other teams. It’s stoppable, but we need to get clears, and make sure their top guys don’t have the puck when the time is right. We just need to overall push for more discipline,” he said.

The Klippers have also seen four shootout losses this season, in a time when points matter more

than ever.

“We need that focus on shootouts. We’ve conceded four losses in a shootout now, and those are big points in the standings,” he said. “We need to put the puck in the net during shootouts.”

Following a hardfought double-header against bruiser team La Ronge – one that featured plenty of misconducts and two difficult Klippers losses – McNaney says the style of play with the Hawks was different.

“It was just much less chippy. There was a good standard set by the referee on November 11, and she officiated really well,” he said.

“She drew a line in the sand, and you respect that as a coach. The right penalties were called on both teams when needed. But we need more discipline.”

Installed as team leaders right now are Captain Brayden Koch and Assistant Coaches Tylin Hilbig, Aidan Bangs and Josh Pufahl.

“They’ve been really great for this team

so far,” said McNaney. “We’re happy with them. They’ve kept the locker room in check. They’re motivated, keep things trending in a positive direction, and they’re leading this ship the right way.”

Early season difficulties have plagued the Klippers, but one thing remains steadfast – Support from fans has been overwhelming.

Their opening night crowd was their largest of the season –at 1,004 -- but crowds for home games have been between 375 and 750 all season, giving plenty of fans a chance to see the team.

“The support has just been really impressive. We keep getting positive feedback, and people really just enjoy coming to the games,” he said.

“It’s just a fantastic feeling for not only the players, but the staff as well. It’s amazing that kids enjoy coming, and it’s especially exciting to see that arena busy after COVID-19. We’re very grateful for the support.”

McNaney is focused right now on ensuring the roster knows things can turn around, especially if they keep working toward little changes.

“We’re just telling the guys to stick to the process and things will work out. If we had those shootout wins, we’d be sitting two spots ahead right now, with games inhand,” he said.

“There are a lot of positives to look at for this team, but we have to work. We can’t overthink or get stuck on the negatives. We’re

just pushing for better outcomes.”

Keith and Doreen enjoyed travelling - Memorable trips to England to see family, Victoria, Hawaii, a Cruise and Mexico but mostly enjoyed the summer at their Turtle Lake cabin. Both enjoyed visiting and playing cards with friends there for the summer. Most of all, she enjoyed eating “Bush Pies” cooked over an open fire. Doreen had quite the green thumb.

Warren Stuart Clemence July 06, 1950 – November 07, 2022

After a lengthy and courageous battle with Multiple Sclerosis, Warren passed away on Monday, November 7th in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Born and raised on a farm just outside of Kindersley to proud parents Ray and Marg Clemence, he was a farmer, and oilman.

A true Coleville kid, Warren worked at the gas station in his teen years and spent a lot of time with his siblings Pamela (Hank Pakish), Brent (Kenna Clemence), and Dale (Terri Clemence). Warren, sometimes known as “Wandering Warren” in his

Marriage to Les on August 30, 1970, came with his ready-made family of two adopted daughters, Barb and Wendy, and his son Doug. A few years later, CP Rail transferred Les and Vida to Montreal.

An opportunity with CP Consulting contract in Indonesia allowed them to visit many special places in the world. Retirement was back in Calgary and wintering in Mesa, AZ amongst friends and relations.

Vida was a loving, kind, and gracious person, fun to be with and loved to travel! She is survived by family members, very close friends, and neighbours. Vida was predeceased by her husband Leslie in 1989, her father Thomas in 1977 and her mother Inez in 1949.

At Vida’s request, there will be no service. Thanks to Silverado Creek Senior’s Community, 3rd floor for the care and kindness shown during her short stay. Condolences, memories, and photos can be shared and viewed at www. mcinnisandholloway.com

younger years worked hard throughout his life, eventually purchasing and growing the company Midwest Oilfield Supply.

His diagnosis of MS didn’t stop Warren from being an active community member, volunteering for many boards and being part of a group of business owners to bring the SJHL hockey team the Kindersley Klippers to town. Warren also sat on the board of the St. Paul’s United Church for many years and was an active member of the congregation.

He developed many great friends over the years and the family is grateful to the staff and management at Sherbrooke Community Centre for providing him a loving home for the past ten years.

Above all else, Warren was a family man. He worked hard, day and night to provide

the best life for his beautiful wife Brenda (Jones), and three children Kristina (Brant Jones), Corryn (Greg Rivard) and Barrett (Jennifer Clemence). As a grandfather, he loved to see his grandchildren Avah, Vienna, Olivia, Oliver, Talia, Jackson, Ava and Myah. Watching them play, always put that goofy crooked smile on his face. Warren was loved by his family, including nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles and many other extended family.

Warren will be dearly missed by his many family and friends, and will be laid to rest at a Spring Service and burial. Further details to follow.

Donations can be made to the MS Society of Canada or the Sherbrooke Community Centre.
