Kindersley Legion hopes to hit the bullseye with dart nights

BY KATE WINQUIST The Kindersley Legion Branch 57 is again starting their Dart Nights every Thursday evening from October 19 until the end of March.

Event organizer Devin Brown says that the Kindersley Legion has applied to host the Legion’s Provincial Dart Playdowns for 2024. Maple Creek hosted the event last year.

“Something tells me that we will light a spark in some guy or gal, and they will discover their dartthrowing talent, exclaimed Brown. The Legion offers the opportunity to be a national champion. That’s a pretty tasty reward for anyone.”

Anyone wishing to come out and try to make their mark with darts, the fun begins at 7:00 p.m. at the Kindersley Legion Hall located at 118 - 2nd Avenue East.

Entertainers back on the road in Sask!

BY JOAN JANZEN

Thanks to the Kindersley & District Arts Council and the Luseland Arts Council, the audiences in Kindersley and Luseland were treated to exceptional musical entertainment on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 14th and 15th.

Canadian musicians Jory Kinjo and Aaron Young were first up on the line-up of entertainers to get back on the road in Saskatchewan. “You make us feel so welcome,” Kinjo said.

The duo began entertaining their listeners the minute they walked on stage and kept right on going. They played selections from their blues album and many of the songs they’ve written. Every selection was laced with a liberal amount of brilliant guitar skills.

Their songs tell stories about life in an upbeat tempo. They per-

formed a song they had not yet recorded. “It was written a number of years ago when it was -35 degrees.

It momentarily transferred me to a warm place,” Kinjo said about the tropically flavoured song.

Kinjo grew up in Calgary and has toured with many legendary musicians, including ZZ Top and B.B. King. “He played 349 nights a year,” Kinjo said about the King of the Blues. “The first time I played with him, he was 76 years old, and the last time he was 86. I learned a lot from him.”

Young grew up right here in Saskatchewan at Prince Albert and started playing guitar at the age of nine. By the time he was 23 years old, he had produced, arranged and performed on over fifteen albums! His skills on the guitar are truly brilliant and have been showcased all over the world, from Asia to Scandinavia, the UK, Canada and the United States.

Both musicians have been performing, writing, producing and touring for three decades but joined together as a duo more recently. However, to their listeners’ ears, it sounds like they’ve been performing together for years as they harmonize and improvise as effortlessly as breathing.

“We’re so happy to be on the road; it’s one of our most favourite things,” Kinjo said. “But sometimes you want to be somewhere, and you can’t.” Their song “A Little Bit More” was born from those heartfelt feelings, which they expressed with voices blended in perfect harmony.

The duo pleased the crowd with fun and familiar selections, and during the break, they were out front shaking hands and greeting their fans. The duo’s performances were an awesome way to start off the Arts Council’s season of entertainment.

Two Leader residents killed in tragic accident On Oct. 15, 2023, at approximately 7:25 p.m., Redcliff RCMP were dispatched to a two vehicle collision on Highway 41, between Highway 545 and Township 190, in Cypress County. Investigation revealed that an SUV swerved to avoid a moose, at which time it struck a cattle hauler head on. The SUV

caught fire as a result of the collision.

The driver of the cattle hauler was not injured. Unfortunately, the 38-yearold male driver and 14-year-old female passenger of the SUV, both residents of Leader, Sask., were pronounced deceased at the scene. Condolences to the family and friends of both deceased.

A “Benefit for the McIntyres” is being held at Eatonia on October 27 for Braxton and his family. SUBMITTED

Let’s help cheer on “Team Braxton”!

BY JOAN JANZEN Braxton McIntyre’s story began when he and his twin sister were born at 29 weeks in July 2018. Braxton was born with few neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, which causes him to get sick very easily.

Braxton’s mom, Raeanne McIntyre, grew up in Eatonia. Her parents Joanne and Dale Bredy, own Bredy’s Country Store in Eatonia. Now, she and her husband and four children live in Battleford, Sask.

Their connection with the folks in Eatonia led to plans being formed for a “Benefit for the McIntyres” on October 27.

Cora Knuttila from Eatonia said, “While contemplating what we could do from an Eatonia point of view, I contacted Susan Theaker to see if she would help me organize something, and from there, The McIntyre Benefit evening was planned. Mitch Larock is providing music and donating his time and talents.

We have some great items up for auction.” There will also be a potluck meal and appetizers.

“The Kennel That Cares”

“Braxton has never spent a night alone in a hospital; none of my children have,” Raeanne said. “It’s just something that’s important to me.”

Over the past few years, the entire family has spent a lot of time at JPCH. They are a close-knit team who always take care of each other, and they have “Team Braxton” shirts to prove it.

The little McIntyre is endearingly referred to as “little Mighty Mouse” by his mom, dad, twin sister and two older brothers. He and his family love hockey.

“We decided to billet last year for the SJHL (Battleford North Stars),” Raeanne said. “Honestly, it was the best decision ever! We had a boy from Minnesota stay with us last year, and he was honestly Braxton’s angel on earth. We are going to Minot next month to see him as Braxton, and our kids miss him so much.”

There’s also evidence on his mom’s FB page that Braxton can pull off some pretty cool dance moves.

He would love to share them with the community of Eatonia on October 27.

“Braxton can hardly wait to dance,” his mom said.

“Fingers crossed we can make it!”

“My family is my world. We have had so many wonderful moments together as well as many moments of sadness,” Raeanne said. “There is always something in life to be thankful for, whether it’s big or small.”

The upcoming event in Eatonia is appropriately called a “Benefit for the McIntyres” because it’s evident that every member of their immediate and extended family is pulling together to make the best of a very challenging circumstance. If you haven’t already, send them an encouraging note or make plans to attend the benefit in Eatonia on October 27.

For the past forty years, local students have been selected to attend the Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC), and this year was no exception.

The seven students from Kindersley Composite School (KCS) who were selected to attend this year’s conference in St. John, New Brunswick, were Karlee Schwengler, Emma Torrens, Macy McCullough, Ayla Stevens, Peyton Watt, Rachel Cannon and Kenzie Vold. They were accompanied by advisors Deavin Vanthuyne and Shaye Bauml.

The excited group flew to Nova Scotia on October 7th in order to attend the conference in New Brunswick on October 11th. During the days before the conference began, the students had time to do some exploring in Nova Scotia.

“We went to a bunch of museums and historical sites such as Citadel Hill,” Karlee Schwengler explained. “We also got to go to the Hopewell rocks and stand on the ocean floor when the tide was down. The ocean was beautiful!”

It was an awesome experience for students from the prairies, who thoroughly enjoyed the change of scenery.

“Every road was like a big hill, and walking up it was definitely harder than walking down the street in Kindersley,” Karlee said. “It was amazing to see how different Canada is depending on which province or territory you are in.”

Although the sightseeing was terrific, the students were equally excited about the conference. They listened to

keynote speakers share their knowledge and life lessons in an effort to help them become better leaders.

“There was such a contagious energy the second you walked into the building. It was amazing!” Karlee noted.

She said two of her favourite speakers were Orlando Bowen and Jameelah Gamble, who helped change her perspective on life. Jameelah Gamble is a special needs primary teacher who promotes the well-being of adults with developmental needs. Orlando Bowen encouraged the young leaders to make a difference on their teams and in the lives of those around them.

The Kindersley group learned new skills and received new motivation to make a difference in their communities. However, the Kindersley group is already involved in leadership roles in their school and community; it was one of the requirements to be chosen to attend the conference.

As great as the conference was, Karlee’s favourite part of the trip was getting to meet people just like herself from all across the country. “Everyone was super friendly! I made so many friends that I know I will stay in touch with forever,” she said. The group arrived home on October 15th, grateful for the opportunity they had to attend the CSLC and look forward to sharing their experiences with their friends and community.

he said. He claims there are benefits to such an outlook.

“We eventually learn to want what God wants of us because we realize it’s the only way to have a really meaningful life, real happiness, real meaning, a real sense of purpose,” he said. “Often what we want for our life is built out of making us feel more significant or more in control.”

He says we should do our best to live a life of service, which looks differently for every individual. So, how does a comedian live a life of service? JP’s response was, “My goal isn’t to make people laugh; my primary goal is to protect and preserve the God-given gift of freedom. Freedom is synonymous with God. That’s why evil constricts and controls.”

His mission statement is to help awaken people to preserve freedom and awaken them to connect to God. “I don’t want to convince people to think what I think because I might be wrong.”

But he does want to encourage people to get reconnected to God and let Him be the source of information and guidance in their lives.

“I believe true happiness absolutely requires us to contribute to the greater good of other people. I think the world needs a lot more of that,” he concluded.

Sounds like it’s possible to be happy in a crazy world.

OPINION: Can you be happy in a crazy world?

BY JOAN JANZEN

The sign said, “To the person who stole my antidepressants: I hope you’re happy now.”

Spike Milligan, an Irish comedian, had this to say about happiness: “All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.”

Dr. Suneel Dhand, an Internal Medicine Physician, listed five habits that helped him become happier and healthier. First of all, he strives to eliminate ultra-processed foods and sugar from his diet.

“I became aware of the horrendous pro-inflammatory nature of so many foods we eat and switched to a pure, whole food diet,” he said. As a result, he feels physically stronger and mentally clearer as well.

The second change he made was to make exercise a priority in his life, devoting one hour a day to physical exercise. Now that it’s become a habit, he enjoys it and uses the time to listen to a podcast while he exercises.

Thirdly, he has learned to distinguish between things that are within his control and things that are beyond his control. And he advises others to hang around people who are encouraging and don’t bring you down.

His fourth nugget of advice was for people to get an adequate amount of sleep. “Sleep is when your body regenerates and heals,” he noted.

Rourke would love to walk in Purdy’s cleats

BY BRUCE PENTON

Nathan Rourke just has to look at the improbable rise of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy to suggest that there could be better days ahead, not to mention multi-million-dollar contracts and professional sports glory.

One year ago at this time, Purdy was still “Mr.

BY BRUCE PENTON Sports Columnist Irrelevant.” That’s the ig____________ nominious moniker given to the player chosen dead last in the National Football League draft, because it’s almost impossible for someone that lightly regarded to advance as far as earning a roster spot, let alone a starting position.

Purdy, however, has catapulted into NFL brilliance, quarterbacking the best team in the league (5-0 at last glance) to strong Super Bowl contention and attracting whispers that he’s the leader in the Most Valuable Player race.

The former Iowa State quarterback was chosen No. 262, and last, in the 2022 draft and was given a courtesy look by the 49ers. But when starter Jimmy Garoppolo got injured and No. 3 overall pick in 2021, Trey Lance, didn’t pan out, the 49ers in desperation turned to Purdy.

And in 13 games in which he has started and finished, Purdy is 13-0. He still has his skeptics (The Ringer’s Steven Ruiz ranked him 24th out of 35 quarterbacks and is getting roasted across NFL circles for that ranking), but the 49er players are believers.

“I think he’s going to continue to grow,” 49ers tackle Trent Williams told The Athletic. “What we’re seeing now is not where he’s going to be. He’s going to be better than that. He’s going to continue to get better every week. Our job is just to keep him upright so he can continue to develop.”

Rourke, meanwhile, sits and waits on the practice roster of the Jacksonville Jaguars. After burning up the Canadian Football League with B.C. Lions last year, the Victoria-born Rourke sought fame and fortune south of the border. He signed with the Jags, but sits at No. 3 on the team’s depth chart, behind Trevor Lawrence and backup C.J. Beathard. Rourke had a couple of special moments in pre-season play, but Jags’ coach Doug Pederson said he chose to keep Breathard as the No. 2 man ahead of Rourke because of his experience, although limited, in the league.

Lawrence calls Rourke “the great Canadian” and lauded his pre-season performance. “He’s had some great plays, and that’s what you got to do,” Lawrence said on Jags Wire, the team’s website. “The guy is looking to stick in the league and get a spot.”

The NFL has a history of underdogs succeeding.

Purdy is this year’s example. The player picked No. 199 in the 2000 NFL draft, Tom Brady — you may have heard of him — had a pretty good career. Rourke’s time may yet come.

Get funding for soil testing Canola 4R Advantage provides funding for fertilizer best management practices (BMPs). The program can reimburse growers up to $20,000 for soil testing and, if growers choose, another $20,000 for consulting services to develop field zone mapping for variable rate nitrogen.

To participate, growers are required to have a 4R Nutrient Stewardship Plan developed and verified by a 4R designated agronomist that covers the BMPs included in the application.

The application deadline is November 30, 2023. This intake will cover expenses invoiced and paid by growers between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Visit canolacouncil.org/4r-advantage/ for program details, eligibility and the new application portal.

The best time for fall sampling is after soil has cooled to at least 10°C. Cool soils reduce the microbial activity that can mobilize nutrients. Soil samples collected after this activity slows down will more closely reflect spring soil nitrate content.

The best time to soil test Soil sampling just prior to seeding provides the most accurate measure of

nutrients available to the crop, but fall soil sampling can be almost as accurate and has various advantages: • less time pressure to get samples collected and analyzed • more time for fertilizer planning • potential to buy the right amount of fertilizer at a lower price

WE NEED FUNDS FOR:

Want to take your fertilizer management up a notch? Here is a low-cost test that could provide some valuable insight into field variability: Choose an underperforming field and submit soil samples this fall from three target areas – hill tops, mid slopes and low spots.

The most common soil testing method is to submit one sample per field. The sample is based on 10 to 20 cores collected from mid-slope “average” areas, often split into 0-6” and 6-12” or 6-24” depths.

Mid-slope areas are usually the most consistent, yield-wise, and account for most of the acres. So if farms are collecting one composite sample per field, this practice provides a good baseline fertilizer rate.

However, these mid-slope samples miss low-performing or inconsistent-performing hill tops and low areas.

By spending a couple hundred dollars to collect and analyze two extra samples from one field, farms will gain new insight that could change the way they manage the farm.

For example, if soil analysis shows that hill tops are low in sulphur, farmers could spread extra sulphur on a few hills, since canola is a crop with relatively high sulphur requirements. Use those test hills as check strips, and see if they show a difference in next year’s combine yield map.

Consult with an agronomist to help decide how to use the results and whether targeted applications or check strips make sense.

Even if these extra two tests for one field don’t inspire a change in approach for 2024, they will provide some real numbers to quantify nutrient and soil variability. With that discovery, farms can start to see how, or if, that field variability might be enough to justify investment in a variable-rate system.

AgriRecovery details announced for Saskatchewan Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit has announced details of Saskatchewan’s AgriRecovery Program, now referred to as the 2023 Canada-Saskatchewan Feed Program. Starting next week, producers can begin to submit applications to the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC).

“I’ve had the opportunity to meet David Marit with farmers and producers from across Western Canada and they’ve shared just how challenging this growing season has been for their operations,” said MacAulay. “With a federal investment of $219 million through AgriRecovery, we’re helping them recover so they can continue to feed Canada, and the world.”

“The livestock sector is a significant contributor to our provincial economy,” Marit said. “It is important we are there for producers through the current challenges. The program will provide some financial relief to livestock producers, helping them to maintain the breeding herd by providing funding to address extraordinary costs caused by the drought.”

This program covers 70 per cent of extraordinary costs related to feed and freight, incurred after May 1, 2023, through to the application deadline of March 1, 2024. Program funding will provide eligible producers an initial payment up to $150 per head to help maintain the breeding herd in the drought regions. Based on available funding, additional payments will be issued to program participants. Eligibility is area specific, guided by the Canadian Drought Monitor. Producers will need to submit their receipts or appropriate documents for the extraordinary expenses. Eligible extraordinary expenses include purchased feed, self-hauling or transportation costs for feed or breeding animals, and/or land rented for additional grazing acres or additional feed production. Eligible animal species include beef cattle and other grazing animals, limited to bison, elk, deer, sheep, goats and horses. This program is designed to help retain breeding stock. Breeding animals include females and males of the reproductive age of the species. A Saskatchewan Premises Identification (PID) is required to be eligible for the program.

Online application form will be available at scic. ca. This application process assists producers to determine if they have extraordinary expenses on their operation, including an Extraordinary Cost Assessment. The submitted application needs to indicate the number of breeding animals on hand, as of August 21, 2023, intended to be kept until January 31, 2024.

On August 18, Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Agriculture announced the province has already committed up to $70 million to assist impacted producers. Federal cost-share funding for Saskatchewan’s AgriRecovery Program is up to $77 million. AgriRecovery is

a federal-provincial-territorial disaster relief framework to help agricultural producers with the extraordinary costs associated with recovering from disaster situations. AgriRecovery initiatives are cost-shared on a 60:40 basis between the federal government and participating provinces or territories, as outlined under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP).

This announcement is part of a larger disaster response totaling $365 million in federal-provincial cost-shared funding under the AgriRecovery Framework to help farmers and ranchers in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan with extraordinary costs due to this year’s extreme weather conditions. Producers already have access to a comprehensive suite of business risk management (BRM) programs that are the first line of defense for producers facing disasters, including AgriStability, AgriInsurance and AgriInvest. With joint funding from the federal government and provinces, these BRM programs provide protection against different types of income and production losses. The federal government also announced an initial list of designated regions in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba where Livestock Tax Deferral has been authorized for 2023 due to extreme weather conditions.

“On behalf of Saskatchewan’s cattle industry, we thank the provincial and the federal governments for providing this much-needed funding for our producers who have been impacted by this drought,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Chair Keith Day said. “We appreciate the provincial government’s recognition of the urgency of the situation, as was demonstrated through their funding announcement in August. While today’s announcement is later than we had hoped, it will be a help to many producers that have already and continue to incur extraordinary expenses to ensure the wellbeing of their herds.”

“SARM appreciates this announcement,” Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities President Ray Orb said. “These measures are needed as farmers and ranchers are dealing with significant challenges in Saskatchewan, we are thankful for the contributions from both senior levels of government.”

"We greatly appreciate this much-needed provincial and federal support, as many producers continue to deal with consecutive years of drought," Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association President Garner Deobald said. "Improved BRM programming will require highly-collaborative and forward-thinking industry-government teamwork―as ownership of risk is shared and response time is critical. Producers outside the eligibility areas are also hard-hit, so we are hoping there will be some flexibility for those operations in need too."

FIRST WOMAN TO BE DIRECTOR OF SWNA If we take a look back to October, 1972 we see a Kindersley resident who was elected as director of the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association (SWNA). According to the Oct. 4, 1972 issue of The Clarion, Frances Chandler, who was the co-publisher of The Clarion, was elected for a two-year term as director of the SWNA. The election took place at the two-day convention in Regina. She was the first woman to hold the position of director in the history of the association. OCT. 4, 1972 ISSUE OF THE CLARION

There, they were supplied with paints, a drawstring bag, markers, and a few artistic suggestions on how to begin.

After participants had completed their masterpieces, they were able to take them home, thanks to the generosity of the local library. A big shout out to the staff at the library who are continually coming up with ideas to help spread contagious creativity.

WEYBURN, ESTEVAN – Long before the “truckers convoy” protested COVID-19 pandemic measures in Ottawa, a series of convoys in and from Saskatchewan and Alberta paved the way, as it were. And those protests over four years ago have finally seen success, in the form of a Supreme Court of Canada ruling on Oct. 13 that found one of their major issues unconstitutional.

Around Christmas time of 2018, a spontaneous truck convoy protest took place in Estevan. In less than three days, a protest was organized with a 14 kilometre long convoy of trucks rolling through town.

Their drivers were protesting federal energy policies including the carbon tax, pipelines, Bill C-69 (the Impact Assessment Act, a.k.a “No More Pipelines Bill”, and Bill C-48, the oil tanker ban. That led to similar, quickly organized protests throughout western Canada. Local truck convoy protests occurred in almost every significant oilfield community from Virden, Manitoba, to Grande Prairie, Alberta.

A few weeks later, now in February, 2019, a convoy to Ottawa took place, with similar motivations.

It picked up several participants from southeast Saskatchewan, including Dale Mainil of Weyburn and Jason LeBlanc of Estevan, both of which contributed a truck to the protest through their businesses. Those trucks ended up parked right at the gates of Parliament. LeBlanc gave a speech standing in a snowbank in front of Parliament, as they were forced off the sidewalks by security personnel.

And from that, several of those participants determined it was time to organize their own convoy, this time to Regina to protest the carbon tax and those other energy policies. Mainil and LeBlanc were two of the lead organizers, in a group that numbered around two dozen.

While there are some activists that protest their respective causes on a frequent basis, both oil patch workers and farmers rarely, if ever, are the type of people to join a protest.

After weeks of preparation, a convoy of 860 trucks, both oilfield and agricultural, rolled into Regina on April 4, 2019, parking at Evraz Place. And there they were greeted by Premier Scott Moe in a rally which focused on those very energy issues – carbon tax, pipelines, Bill C-69 and C-48.

Supreme Court ruling On Oct. 13, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that

most of Bill C-69, now in law as the Impact Assessment Act, was unconstitutional.

Pipeline Online asked to of those convoy organizers, Dale Mainil and Jason LeBlanc, what they thought of the ruling.

Mainil, one of the owners of oilfield construction firm Jerry Mainil Ltd., said on Oct. 17, “It’s progress.

You know the courts are so political. I was surprised, but happily. And it’s a start, but we got a huge hurdle still ahead of us to right the ship to make our industry what it is.”

Asked if the judgement is too late, Mainil said, “I’m an optimist. Nothing’s ever too late. It’s just going to take a long time to stop the train and turn it around.

And, you know, we’ve got the best industry in the world, in our oil and gas, in the safest and the most environmentally friendly. Yet, when you have politicians down east that don’t recognize that, whether it be in Estevan and a carbon capture of CO2 or, or how we do things environmentally friendly in our industry here in Western Canada, oil and gas. That is, it’s frustrating.”

He added, “There’s no renewable energy that is going to replace oil and gas tomorrow. So we need this industry, regardless of what the politicians say. We need this industry, and we have the best in the world.

So, I believe we’re definitely it’s an uphill battle as your business and my business know, but we have choices do we have?”

Jason LeBlanc, an Estevan-area farmer and retired auctioneer who is currently reeve of the RM of Estevan, took a lot of personal flack as a result of the protests. He was personally (and wrongfully) maligned as having “anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic sentiment” by none other than the NDP Leader of Opposition Ryan Meili, speaking in the Legislature under parliamentary privilege, which protected him from slander litigation. Meili’s verbal assault on LeBlanc, a man very well known in the agriculture industry, led to the number of participants taking part in the convoy doubling in the space of two days. By the time the convoy rolled into Regina, more half the trucks were from the agriculture sector.

Speaking to Pipeline Online on Oct. 17, LeBlanc said of those federal energy policies, “Well, the whole thing was a farce from the start, when you’ve got an activist in charge of Canada’s largest checkbook, which is Steven Guilbeault. He should have never gotten that far, but that you got activism, you got a federal govCONTINUED ON PAGE 13

He said, “One of my reasons is that the Trudeau government’s polls are falling. Any judge who is to go down with them, or they’re starting to look after themselves a little bit, too, and realize, hey, we can’t just slide this stuff in. There has to be reality check now.”

Right side of history Asked if he felt they were on the right side of history, Mainil said, “Well, I hope so. This whole thing, what I call a climate cult, is starting to wear thin when it affects people’s pocketbooks, which it is, today. People are realizing that, yes, sure, we want to have a good environment, good climate policies. But

we’ve gone too far. It’s like anything, whether it’s climate or whether it’s oil, or that’s agriculture, the pendulum always swings too far. And it’s got to come back.”

LeBlanc said of history, “I think we were. I think we were trying. We went into the pit of fire, because that was right after the Greta Thornburg thing and all that. The schools were against us, the teachers were against us. Pretty much anybody that wasn’t in the oilpatch was against us. Now, those are the same people that are coming back and saying, ‘Hey, yeah, you guys were right all along.’”

Mainil added, “We’re all for a cleaner and healthier planet. But we do a pretty good job right now. And we’ve im-

proved, in my 40 years in the industry, hugely. And we’re gonna keep continuing to improve. But that doesn’t mean you should kill an industry, which this federal government has tried to do, and have been pretty successful.

“Back to the court, your original question, that’s a step in the right direction. And I’m pleasantly surprised.”

He didn’t expect such a ruling from the Supreme Court because, as Mainil said, “They’re more of a left-leaning court.”

He pointed out Alberta and Saskatchewan had challenged the carbon tax in court and lost. “This is the first win. So maybe that train is slowing down, and we’ve got to turn it around. And like I said, I’m an optimist.”

ernment that was bound to kill it all in the name of climate change. And they didn’t care who they stepped on all the way. And we did some push backs. We got behind our premier. We supported them on the fight back and it’s paying off. People are slowly waking up to it.

Now they’re very quickly starting to see the damage has been done.”

As for Meili’s comments, LeBlanc noted it’s a common left-wing theme to attack the person they disagree with, as opposed to their points of contention.

“The left wing seems to know you’re right. So they changed the narrative a little bit. They started calling you a racist and a bigot and a yellow vester and all that because they can’t argue the facts, they just want to change the narrative a little bit. We can all see that now.

He quit. He was so upset over it.”

LeBlanc thinks similar tactics are being used against Premier Scott Moe. LeBlanc said, “He’s got his hands full all the time. There’s somebody coming at him from different angles all the time.

But if you look at it, it’s the same group of people that try to discredit him and take him down, from a different angle, all the time. And now they’ve lost this, the majority of their concentration now is on pronouns. They just jump from one thing to another, never leave him alone.

And he’s done a very good job but so we’re happy with the decision because it was the right decision.”

LeBlanc thinks one of the reasons behind the ruling against the Impact Assessment Act was the Supreme Court is

Kurt presented Barb Derbawka of Kindersley with a Paul Harris award in recognition of all she has done for Rotary and her community. Barb has served the club in several roles, including President and treasurer, and for several years, has been responsible for grants in Kindersley. The recognition is named after Rotary’s founder, the late Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer, who started Rotary with three business associates in 1905.

The District Governor was introduced to those in attendance. Kurt has lived and worked as an IT consultant in London, England, Houston, Texas, as well as in a number of Canadian cities. Since retiring as a partner in a Calgary-based IT consulting firm, he has dedicated much of his time and effort to Rotary.

He has been a Rotarian for 13 years, joining because of his passion for international service. He has served in numerous roles during those years and is currently a member of the Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown.

At the district level, he was involved in the District Foundation Committee and is currently District Governor for Southern Alberta and South Western Saskatchewan, District 5360.

Kurt spent some time discussing the theme for the year: ‘Create Hope in the World.’ For starters, he said telling stories about Rotary projects creates hope in others and hope in our own hearts.

“Because we’re Rotary International, we have a Rotary International focus,” Sharon Price, President of the Kindersley Rotary Club, explained. “We’re a small club and dedicate our international funds to shelter boxes.” Shelter Boxes are airlifted into countries whenever there is a disaster and are equipped with everything needed to provide a temporary dwelling.

“Continuity is a key component of Rotary clubs,” Kurt explained. Clubs meet every two weeks to talk about challenges and achievements and to make plans for the future. Sharon mentioned one of the challenges faced by the Kindersley club. “We have a good support system in Kindersley and are well received, but we need membership,” she noted.

The Kindersley Club’s plans for the future include their upcoming fundraiser. “Our yearly fundraiser is coming up on November 26th. We’re having four courses prepared with four wines,” Sharon said. “It’s something a little different, and we’ve had a lot of positive response.”

“We stay in Rotary because of the impact on others’ lives and the impact on our own lives,” the District Governor concluded.

President Price couldn’t agree more. “The bottom line is we put service above self. We have a need to give back. At our meetings we talk about ways of giving back with our time.”

EPIC theatre group makes return to Eston

BY VERNA THOMPSON

Murder, mayhem and music will be the order of the day when EPIC, Eston's theatre group, hits the stage after a hiatus of several years.

The group will present a locally written and produced play, The Case of the Conceited Choir, at the Eston Legion Hall on November 25 and 26.

The Saturday, November 26 presentation will be a dinner theatre, while the next day's production will be a matinee with dessert and coffee served between acts.

All proceeds from the performances will be donated to the Dr. David S. Mulder Eston District Health Foundation to help fund the needs of family-centered care in the Eston area.

The Case of the Conceited Choir was written by Doreen Hewitson, the minister at St. Andrews United Church in Eston. Initially written for a church dinner theatre,

“The Emir’s Falcon”

by Matt Hughes Published by Shadowpaw Press Premiere REVIEW BY TOBY A. WELCH

The Emir's Falcon is a fascinating story from page one to its gratifying conclusion. It centres around Skyrider, a peregrine falcon that university student Bernie has been tending to at a Canadian Wildlife Service facility. Bernie learns that the Government of Canada has decided to give Skyrider to the son of a Persian Gulf emir as a diplomatic gift. To say Bernie isn't thrilled with the decision is a massive understatement.

director Verna Thompson has adapted the play for the Eston stage, adding in a few EPIC touches.

The cast includes two singers well-known in the area, Brian Shauf and Laurie Thompson, and pianist extraordinaire Brenda Ormsby.

A number of quirky characters make up the conceited choir and the bumbling policemen trying to solve the crime, the murder of the choir director, who is loved and hated, very talented, or a total bust depending on one’s viewpoint.

Through song and testimony, each character adds to the suspense of “who killed the victim?” and the “choir” paints the picture of the underlying drama that makes up the Conceited Choir. It all leads to suspense and an unexpected ending.

different points of view, keeping things spicy. You have Bernie, the young biologist-in-training who is attempting to save Skyrider from what he sees as a horrific fate. Then there's petroleum engineering student Nasur, the emir's son. Rounding out the trio is Rosie, a fascinating Métis woman whose main goal in life seems to be day-to-day survival. As the chapters bounce from one to the others and back again, Hughes does a superb job of telling this unique story from so many angles.

The aspect of this book that I loved most is that we are exposed to aspects of three diverse cultures.

There's the young man born and raised in a rural community in Alberta with Ukrainian ancestors. We see life vicariously through Sheikh Nasur bin Mukhta al-Bagri, a young man destined to take over his father's throne in the modern Middle East. Seventeenyear-old Rosie works trap lines, immersed in the Métis traditional life. All three of them have a way of life unlike the other characters. It was interesting learning about having body servants, a normal thing in Nasur’s culture. Rosie's near daily activity of skinning animals is not something I imagine most of us do regularly but it's commonplace for her. You get the picture.

It was clear from chapter one that this book was written by someone with serious writing skills. Sure enough, Hughes is a multiple award-winning author who has twenty-four published novels as well as almost 100 works of short fiction in professional markets behind him. He has also been inducted into the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association’s Hall of Fame. It's no surprise that Hughes has such an impressive writing resume as The Emir's Falcon is a pleasure to read.

I love that this story was inspired by events that took place when the author was an assistant to the Minister of Environment. In the late 70s, the Canadian government gifted two peregrine falcons to a Middle East potentate as a diplomatic move. Readers are the beneficiaries of Hughes wondering how that government decision affected the people who worked with the two gifted birds.

I highly recommend The Emir’s Falcon for all ages.

A thought-provoking story with characters that successfully draw you into their lives is a win-win for any reader, young or old.

We salute those who fought for our freedom so we may live in peace.

This special edition is dedicated to the men and women from our region that so bravely served our country. Some of them paid the supreme sacrifice. They were more than soldiers, they were sons and daughters, husbands and fathers.

They came from towns and hamlets that are no longer.

We can never begin to repay them, but we can remember them, every ONE of them.

Members of the west central Saskatchewan area are welcome to send us information of family members who served, so they can be recognized in this keepsake edition.

The Saskatoon Soaps staged ‘The Murder at the Oasis’ at Eatonia Saturday night.

Eatonia’s Murder Mystery event sold out in 10 days!

The Eatonia Library Board put on a party Saturday night! Attendees came decked out in Hawaiian shirts, flip flops, floral dresses, sun hats and grass skirts, ready to participate in the Murder Mystery Event on October 21st.

The response was overwhelming, as the event sold out in the first week of October. “In just 16 hours, over sixty percent of the tickets were snapped up! 185 tickets were sold in ten days!” exclaimed Robin Busby, who is a member of the Library Board. Everyone was excited about attending the first largescale murder mystery event to be held in Eatonia!

Robin, along with the other ten board members and a couple of volunteers, planned the evening. Saskatoon Soaps performed the murder mystery centred around a fictional movie entitled ‘Surfing DOA,’ and the Eatonia Hall was transformed into a beach movie set for the occasion.

The Eatonia Lions Club provided a tiki bar with specialty drinks, and Jackie’s Delicious Delights prepared a roast beef dinner. “Jackie is graciously donating fifty percent of the cost of each roast beef dinner back to the Eatonia Library!”

Robin said. “We are blown away by her amazing support of our community.”

After everyone was fed, “Murder at the Oasis” got underway. The Saskatoon Soaps characters provided fun and intrigue as they answered their guests’ questions, eventually disclosing the

guilty party.

Once the murder mystery was solved, there was a total of 45 raffle prizes awarded, all of which had been donated by businesses in the area. DJ Philly P turned up the tunes, and the dancing got underway, only pausing momentarily to enjoy the midnight lunch donated

by Somerville Farms Ltd. “At the beginning of the event planning, we reached out to community organizations and businesses to receive support,” Robin said. In response, they received many sponsors and generous donations. “This event could not have happened without them. Eatonia has always been well known for its support for the community, and this event has been no exception.”

In addition to everyone having a ton of fun, food, mystery intrigue, dancing and prizes, the Eatonia Library is now able to complete some much-needed projects. With the proceeds from the murder mystery event, they will be able to replace the library’s entry door, purchase a portable air conditioner, new books and a Cricut machine which can cut all sorts of designs for crafts. They also plan to work with Eatonia Oasis Living to complete a library area for their residents, which will include large print and audiobooks.

“Wasn’t that a Party” isn’t just the name of an old song. The community of Eatonia got together and put on a party, resulting in a whole lot of fun while making numerous projects possible for their local library.

OBITUARIES

Rose City Memorials Ltd.

Gerald Glenn Addie

December 1, 1934- October 6, 2023 With saddened hearts, the family of Glenn Addie of Bonnyville, Alberta, regretfully announce the passing of their beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother-inlaw and uncle on Friday, October 6, 2023, at the age of 88 years.

Glenn was born in Regina, SK and raised on 112th Street in Sutherland, where he attended grade school and then Saskatoon Technical Collegiate. He always laughed as there were 30 in the class, 28 women and two men who were both named Glenn. He always had a story of the times growing up in Sutherland and their family connections to the railway.

He spent his entire career in the oilfield, starting in Smiley, SK, moving to Estevan, back to Coleville, and finally, the corporate offices in Calgary, where he still managed to escape the city and spend time out in the field. He was well respected for his knowledge in the oilpatch, where he built and maintained many business relationships along with numerous friendships throughout his career, even after retirement in 1998 when he and Elaine moved to Bonnyville, his relationships and friendships continued.

In his retirement to Moose Lake, the woodshop was one of his favourite places, and many have been a recipient of his woodworking knowledge or, if lucky enough, a recipient of his work. Dave gave him the nickname “Master Builder of the threelegged stool”. There wasn’t a woodworking project too small or too big - he lived for the challenge.

He will be remembered for his “Glenn Jokes”, and we are sure he and his good friend Bob Dorsett are now together with pens, paper and arguing black is white with each other with neither coming out a winner.

Glenn is lovingly survived by his wife of 67 years: Elaine Addie of Bonnyville, AB; children: Barbara Addie of Regina, SK, Dave (Peggy) Addie of Bonnyville, AB; granddaughter: Janelle Addie of Calgary, AB; sister-in-law Elmira Addie of Vancouver, B.C. and her family, the family of Don & Iola Addie; sisters-in law: Darleen (Guy) Belliveau of Saskatoon, SK, Bette Lynn (Peter) Duncan of Victoria, B.C. and their family, Wendy (Dave) Voth of Kenora, ON and their family; as well as close friends: John & Joanne Letwinetz and their children, Kristen & Kendall, Tim & Susan Schultz and their children, Brianne & Kayla.

Glenn was predeceased by his parents, David & Marie Addie; brothers: Bob Addie, Don (Iola) Addie.

A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, October 21, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., at Saskatoon Funeral Home, 338 4th Avenue N, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Final resting place, Woodlawn Cemetery, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Memorial tributes in memory of Glenn may be sent to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, 800 College Plaza, 8215-112 Street, Edmonton, AB T6G 2C8. https://www.stollerykids.com For those unable to attend, the recorded livestreamed service may be viewed at www.saskatoonfuneralhome.com where memories and condolences may be shared with the family as well.

RN recruitment success for Biggar

BY KATE WINQUIST

The SHA along with the Government of Saskatchewan have been working diligently for the past year on Registered Nurse (RN) recruitment with a goal toward full resumption of acute care services at Biggar and District Health Centre.

That persistence has paid off with the announcement of three new Registered Nurses (RNs) for the Biggar and District Health Centre, providing the additional support needed to maintain 24/7 ER services and operation of eight acute care beds in that community. All RN positions have been filled. One of the first five RNs from the Philippines arriving in Saskatchewan this summer has been recruited to Biggar and will begin clinical placement this mon th. A second RN will arrive in February 2024. A nurse practitioner has also been recruited to work in Biggar.

The SHA has appreciated the dedication of the physicians and staff at Biggar and District Health Centre as well as the ongoing patience and cooperation of Biggar and area residents.

Biggar-Sask Valley Constituency MLA, Randy Weekes said,“Difficulty recruiting health care professionals is a challenge that communities across Saskatchewan, Canada, and the rest of the world are
