Students lay wreath on anniversary of D-Day
BY JOAN JANZEN
Your Southwest Media Group
June 6th marked the anniversary of D-Day. To recognize this milestone in history, Maureen Ryan-Dobbin, a teacher at Elizabeth Middle School, took her students to the cenotaph at Baker Park to lay a wreath. Later that morning, the students spent some time learning about this part of WWII.
Ms. Dobbin said the students learned about the facts and figures related to the invasion, including Canadian involvement in terms of injuries, deaths, and thousands of aircraft and boats. They also discovered it was referred to as “D-Day,” rather than the organizers giving away the date of the invasion.
The students watched a Historical Minute about a Manitoba family that par-
ticipated in D-Day.
Ms. Dobbin shared information about the Juno Beach Center and museum, relaying information on the impact of Canada’s role in the liberation of France, which is commemorated each year with a parade in the Juno Beach area.
Last of all, the students learned that a French real estate developer is currently desiring to construct condos in the
area and will need to use the driveway for the Juno Beach Center. The Center opposes this idea, as it feels it’s disrespectful and takes honour away from the involved soldiers. The students wholeheartedly agreed as they were able to fully appreciate the value of D-Day. Thanks to Ms. Ryan-Dobbin for sharing this portion of history with her students.

Eston Red Hat Group enjoys camaraderie
BY JOAN JANZEN
Southwest Media Group
The Red Hatter group from Eston enjoyed attending the opening tea at the Eston museum on Saturday, June 4th.
The group initially consisted of twelve members when it was formed back in 2006. Now there are eight members remain-
ing, who have become much like sisters throughout the years.
Verna Thompson, who is part of the group, explained they get together once a month from April to December, with each member taking a turn being the hostess for the month. Whoever is the hostess in December hands out cards designating the month
in which each woman will plan the activity.
“We travel around,” Verna explained. “We have been to a lot of tea houses, have gone to Alberta and rode the train, or go to Saskatoon for lunch for a get away. We have little adventures every month.” The group has enjoyed their monthly travels throughout the area.
Kindersley RCMP report a safe and enjoyable rodeo weekend
Between May 31st and June 6th, 2022, Kindersley RCMP responded to 24 calls for service. These calls for service included 3 traffic collisions, 3 suspicious persons complaints, an alcohol related roadside suspension, and 4 property crime related investigations (theft, break and enter, etc). Kindersley RCMP Members were out and about during the Kindersley Rodeo celebrations and are happy to report that it was a safe and enjoyable weekend for all involved, with no additional calls for service.
On June 2, 2022 Kindersley RCMP responded to a break and enter at a residence in the RM of Prairiedale. Various household items were stolen.
If you have any information about this crime or others, you can call Kindersley RCMP Detachment, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or you can submit a tip online using the P3 App - https://www.p3tips.com/206 or at www.saskcrimestoppers.com where you can also view other unsolved crimes.
Red Hatters is an international organization with chapters in 31 countries. In this area, the nearest chapters are located in Swift Current and Regina. The group has no membership fee; all they need is a red hat and a purple shirt. Verna said there were many outlets selling red hats when they started in 2006, but not anymore. Nevertheless, the ladies enjoy participating in their adventures while wearing their purple shirts and dawning their red hats. This tradition originated from a poem by Jenny Joseph entitled ‘Warning.’ A portion of the poem says, “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, with a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me.”
Most importantly, the Eston Red Hatters enjoy friendship and camaraderie, making their life richer.

The value of one expert testimony
Anold man walked up to the counter of a pawn shop holding an old, weathered guitar. “I’d like your expert opinion on how much this guitar is worth,” he said.
After carefully examining the guitar, the pawn broker estimated the worth of the guitar was $20. “Great, I’ll buy it,” responded the old man.
The pawn broker asked in confusion, “Buy it?”
“Yes,” he replied as he flipped the guitar over. “You had it priced at $150, but after your expert opinion I think $20 is a good deal!”
Expert opinions were recently requested at a parliamentary committee of the House of Commons in Ottawa, regarding Bill C-11. This is an online streaming act, that would put digital media platforms under the authority of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
Bill C-11 was sent to the Canadian Heritage Committee which summoned expert witnesses with unique insights. There are 12 members on the committee: 6 Liberals, 4 Conservatives, and 2 from the other parties. Consequently, the Liberals got to call the most witnesses, and the Conservatives got to call one, J.J. McCullough.
In this case, the choice of the nine witnesses was revealing. There were two executives from Bell Can-
ada, two from the Canadian Media Producers Association, one each from the Quebec Media Association, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, the Black Screen Office, all of which approved of the Bill. The only witness who opposed the bill was J.J. McCullough, a Canadian You Tuber from Westminster, B.C., who was the first to testify.
The intent of the committee is to solicit insight that would make the bill better. However, McCullough’s observation was that the politicians had invited witnesses who would reinforce conclusions they had already drawn in advance.
Nevertheless, McCullough delivered his opinion, noting that even though he has 750,000 subscribers, he’s considered a mid-level You Tuber. “According to socialblade.com, there are over 100 Canadian You Tubers with over 3.5 million subscribers,” he stated. “The success and world wide fame of Canadian You Tubers with the absence of government intervention should invite questions of the necessity of Canadian government intervention.”
He noted that CRTC has countless forms to fill out in order for TV producers to get their work certified. “Most Canadian You Tubers shudder at the thought that this could be their fate as well,” he explained, adding
that it would damage future generations of You Tubers. McCullough testified that You Tubers are creating the kind of content for which a market exists. Canadian independent You Tubers are a case study that have proved that they can achieve success and wealth without government intervention, recognition, subsidies or mandates. He observed they don’t want to be told what kind of content they can create, and if CRTC were to get involved, independent You Tubers would inevitably be suppressed. Witnesses that followed all supported the bill, representing special interests. All applauded the bill for doing the things they wanted the it to do.
In response to a question, McCullough stressed the importance of a consumer driven demand. “I believe in a free market approach to culture. I don’t believe in a government knows best approach, in which politicians decide what Canadians need more of. I believe content should sink or swim based on its
popularity,” he said. Although McCullough was excited upon receiving an invitation to testify regarding Bill C-11, his excitement waned after the event had concluded. “I’m fairly confident that my testimony won’t make much of a difference,” he said. “Those of us who have the most to lose (small independent online media creators) in this situation, can’t compete with the
people who approve of the bill, who the government is most prone to listen to, and have the most to gain from it.”
The value of the committee hearing could be compared to the old weathered guitar I mentioned earlier. After carefully examining all aspects of his appearance at the parliamentary committee hearing, McCullough’s estimation of its value had diminished.
German Settlements In Saskatchewan by Alan B. Anderson
Published by Saskatchewan German Council Inc.
Review by Madonna Hamel
Growing up I heard stories about my grandmother’s job as the postmistress of Krupp and of the acres of sunflowers planted by German farmers surrounding my grandparent’s land just North of Fox Valley. When my sister and I went looking for Krupp we found no evidence of it, although someone speculated that a large feed bin was once the old post office.
I could have used this meticulously researched history of the province’s settlements in my searches. It would have explained to me that many of the Russian-German settlements spanning an expansive territory bordered by Medicine Hat, Leader and Maple Creek, including my French-Canadian-Metis-Scottish-American grandparents farm, had changed their names after both world wars. When Leader became the “de facto centre of the settlements” in 1913 it was actually named Prussia. But during World War I the town name was changed along with street names like Berlin, Kaiser and Hamburg. No doubt Krupp suffered the same fate.
Prelate was also a name I’d heard as a child. I knew there was a church there, just ten kilometres down the road from Leader, and that it was an important Catholic German parish. But I didn’t realize that its St. Angela’s Convent, established in 1919, closed in 2007 and became the Islamic Academy of Saskatchewan in 2011.
Having attended workshops at St. Peter’s Academy I was also interested to learn that the nearby church in Meunster was constructed from 1908 to1910 and was decorated with artworks belonging to Count Berthold von Imhoff. Imhoff was born in a castle on the Rhine, emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1892, then moved to Saskatchewan in 1914. All told he decorated one hundred and twelve churches in Saskatchewan’s German colonies.
Most German settlers came to Saskatchewan after Empress Catherine II reneged on her promise to protect farmers by granting religious freedom, exemption from military service and political autonomy in newly annexed South Russian land • later to be known as the Ukraine. Many Mennonite Germans chose to emigrate to Canada to escape persecution because not only was land plentiful and readily available, but settlers were encouraged to organize their own colonies. They were promised exemption from military service here, as well. However, there was no mention made of the removal of Indigenous people to reserves.
The story of Mennonite and Lutheran settlements on Treaty 6 land illustrates how reconciliation works in the 21st century. In 1876 thirty square miles of Reserve 107 land had been “given” to the Chippewayn Cree. It was, of course, land that was theirs to begin with. The land was reconfiscated 1897 and then sold to the unwitting Mennonites who began to farm it. It wasn’t until 2006 that Mennonites and Cree sat down to a picnic presided over by the Human Rights Commission to decide on reparations. The conversation is ongoing, and is just one of many essential historical details concerning German religion, language and culture embedded in this slim volume.

Dennis Day donates quarter million dollars to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK www.pipelineonline.ca
WEYBURN – Dennis Day of the Carnduff-based Day Group of Companies donated $250,000 to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital on June 1.
The announcement was made on the opening day of the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show in Weyburn. That day his mother, Vi Day, was honoured as a Southeast Saskatchewan Legend.
The donation has been several years in the making, according to Dennis. He said the hospital’s foundation contacted him a couple years ago, but that was a tough time in the oil business. “Things weren’t real great yet,” Dennis told Pipeline Online on June 2.
“A couple months ago, she came down and I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll give you $250,000.’ She asked me why I was doing that. Did I have to have a kid that got sick or somebody’s kid got sick? I said, ‘No. I’ve just been pretty fortunate and I just care about everybody.”
In recognition of this impactful gift, a treatment room within Day Medicine and Pediatric Oncology at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital will be named in Dennis Day’s honour, the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation
said. This specialized room serves children from all corners of Saskatchewan every single day as they receive vital care in their treatment plans, including chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and insulin therapy. Bright windows, room for engaging activities, and calming images provide a space for children to feel comfortable while treatments can last for hours.
Laura Gawletz, philanthropy manager with the JPCHF, said at the oil show, “We are just so thankful for Dennis Day’s gift to our foundation that’s going to help us continue that incredible research as well as provide urgently needed equipment and innovation, as well as programming. It’s supporting a treatment room in our day medicine and pediatric oncology unit, which serves kids for long hours as they receive treatment for blood transfusions or chemotherapy and insulin therapies as well.”
She noted that for a long time, funds were raised to build the hospital. But now that it’s up and running, there’s more to be done, especially coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s been a long, two years, as a lot of people understand, right? And so, as we look for-
ward, we’re really at that baseline, because our province was the one of two provinces that didn’t have a children’s hospital. So now that we have this incredible facility, it’s just the beginning. So, we’re going to continue to serve families across the province through that programming, and that innovative equipment, because we’re absolutely not done. Children will continue to get sick, and families will continue to need our support.”
Heather Hedstrom, also with the hospital, said, “So many more specialist doctors have come now, since it’s opened. So, we’re able to treat more of those different medical specialties.”
JPCHF president & CEO, Brynn Boback-Lane, said in a release, “Dennis Day’s deep commitment to community, family and well-being are true Saskatchewan values; ones which the children and families from all four corners of our province are fortunate to benefit from. Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation is extremely grateful to Dennis for his generous gift to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital and the children and families who need its specialized services each and every day.”
Woods authors amazing comeback story
BY BRUCE PENTON Sports Columnist
He’s already clearly in the lead for golf’s Comeback of the Year award. Now Tiger Woods is hunting even bigger game.
After nearly demolishing his right leg in a February, 2021 car crash in California, Woods’ career as a professional golfer appeared to finally be over. ‘Finally,’ because after numerous scandals, surgeries and advancing age, the car crash and the severe injuries it caused would have been career-ending to most.
Not to Woods, however. With his right leg held together by metal rods, screws and pins, the 46-year-old winner of 15 major championships was hitting balls nine months later, competing in a casual father-andson tournament within 10 months, and then shocking the golf world by playing in the Masters this past April, 14 months after nearly killing himself with risky and dangerous driving.
That he made the cut at the Masters was astonishing, considering what led up to it. That he completed all four rounds was further testament to his competitive nature. That he made
the cut four weeks later at the PGA Championship led many to suggest that the Greatest Golfer of All Time (G.O.A.T.) might be able to come all the way back and continue his march toward Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 major tournament victories.
This week, the season’s third major, the U.S. Open, is being played in Massachusetts and Woods has filed an entry to take part. ‘Filing an entry’ and ‘actually playing’ are two different things and Woods may or may not decide he can can handle the leg pain and discomfort to walk 36 (or 72) holes and actually challenge for the Open title. He wasn’t able to handle the pain at the PGA, making the 36-hole cut but withdrawing after 54 holes following a limping-filled thirdround 79.
Nicklaus won his final major, the 1986 Masters, at the age of 46. Woods is chronologically the same age, but far older in terms of physicality. Winning a major is almost certainly impossible this year (he’s announced he will play in the Open Championship at St. Andrews, Scotland, in July), but merely compet-
ing, and making the cut, makes him an obvious winner of Comeback Player of the Year.
Whether Woods will ever again walk pain-free or without a limp remains to be seen, but what is certain is that he still has the skills to manoeuvre the golf ball better than almost anyone in the world. Golf fans everywhere are captivated by Woods’ comeback efforts and it won’t be long before he finally drives off into the sunset (at a safe speed, we hope). While the car crash and leg injuries weren’t enough to finish Woods’ career, advancing age eventually will. Sports fans should enjoy what’s left of this amazing athlete’s career while he’s still able to offer glimpses of it.

The Edmonton Prospects take on the Moose Jaw Miller Express in Kindersley this week.
Kindersley hosts Prairie Showdown
BY JORDAN PARKER
Your Southwest Media Group
This week will see a fantastic event showcasing the talents of the Edmonton Prospects and the Moose Jaw Miller Express right here in Kindersley.
On June 16 and 17, 2022, the incredible Western Canadian Baseball League game will see a new host of talent.
“The Kindersley games are going to be amazing. They’re due to a unique situation in the WCBL right now,” said Managing Partner Pat Cassidy.
“Edmonton is a team without a home right now, as we couldn’t secure our long-term lease in Edmonton. We are building a new turf in Spruce Grove, Alta.”
They have some home games in Sherwood Park but have found themselves on the road playing other
games this season.
“This gives us a chance to get around, showcase the team and the league, and build the brand. We’ll be able to connect with kids and families,” he said. “These locations sometimes don’t get as much exposure.”
“We decided to seek out locations that could facilitate use and expand to more than the franchise centres we already have.”
For Cassidy, the road games are all about connecting to the community around the team.
“This is all about families and people coming out. We have kids camps on Thursday and Friday, and then if you bring your glove to the park for games, you get $5 off entry,” he said.
“We want people to get on the field after the game and just have some experiences together.”
After two years of
trials and tribulations with COVID-19, Cassidy is ready to get people in the spirit.
“Connection is important now, more than ever. Baseball is great, and it’s a social sport. You come to the game, and it’s relaxed, and you can visit with people,” he said.
“There is obviously some drama, but you do get to talk and have a good time. It’s an important time in our history to get out and do these things.”
The Prospects team is showing strength so far this season, and Cassidy has been impressed so far.
“They’re a really competitive group. The desire to win takes over when they get on the field. It doesn’t matter what crowd they’re in front of. They want to showcase their talents,” he said.
“These guys train hard and have played most of their lives.
FEIFFER’S TIRE STORE
This is an opportunity for new things and larger crowds.”
He said one thing has made the players sit up and take notice of the experiences they’re having.
“They’re seeing the adoration of kids who want autographs. There’s this embryonic phase, and the players are taken aback by the kids and how excited they are. They haven’t seen that before.”
They’re excited to head to Kindersley and see a formidable opponent in the Moose Jaw Miller Express.
“We’re happy, and we’ve been in communication with the community for months. We know Kindersley has a good ball history, can host large events, and has a nice facility,” he said.
“The Express are a team we have to be prepared for. They’re currently first in the Eastern Division right now. They’re going to be tough, and the other Alberta teams have told us to watch out.”
At the end of the day, Cassidy just wants everyone to have a good time.
“We really just want people to buy tickets and come out. This is designed to be a fun event and create interaction between players, kids and families.”

Leader and District Tourism introduces Larger than Life Sculptures Audio Tour
BY MALLORY CAWTHRA Your Southwest Media Group
The Town of Leader has recently introduced two audio tours: The Larger than Life Wildlife Sculpture Tour, as well as the Kids Wildlife Sculpture Tour. Both tours are a three-kilometre loop, self-guided with GPS maps provided, and tourists can either drive or walk the route; it takes about an hour to walk and view all the stops. Each stop has a different wildlife sculpture to discover, such as the Red-Headed Woodpecker or the Ferruginous Hawk, and each sculpture showcases an “at risk” and unique local species that inhabits the area. The Kid’s Tour has extra sound effects and uses language that will make kids laugh.
The audio tours, including GPS maps, can be accessed by downloading a free app on your phone called “Tripvia Tours,” and a QR code is located at the Tourism Caboose in Leader also, to direct everyone to the free app. The stops can be viewed in any order, and the audio will start playing as you get near the sculptures. Curiously enough, the name “Tripvia” comes from Trip and Trivia, as the tours have a fun trivia challenge question added to each stop through the app, to test one’s knowledge about the wildlife sculptures and the Town of Leader.
The audio tours were created through a joint effort between the Leader and District Tourism Committee and the Cypress Hills – Grasslands Destination Area (CGDA). Christine Broderick, Chair of the Leader and District Tourism Com-
mittee as well as the Marketing Director for CGDA, explained that CGDA paid for the first sculpture tours to help promote their community members, and now Leader and District Tourism is adding another tour that will take tourists to the rural attractions like Checkerboard Hill, Blumenfeld Church, and St. John’s Schoolhouse.
The wildlife sculptures were created by two artists, the late Ralph Berg of Cabri, and Grant MacLoughlin of Moose Jaw. The first sculpture created was the Mule Deer in 1992, which is located at the Leader Tourism Caboose. The Mule Deer was created to commemorate Leader’s 75th anniversary, and was commissioned by the Leader Tourism Committee. The sculpture was popular and over the next 20 years, seven more sculptures were commissioned (Information from Kerry Wrishko).
Broderick added that the audio tours started as a way to help people safely explore during Covid, but they are still a great way to learn some history and interesting facts about the animals, attractions, and surrounding communities.
Commission proposes changes to SK electoral districts
The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Saskatchewan is holding 15 public hearings, to gather comments and feedback on the proposed boundaries and electoral district names. One of these public hearings will be held at Kindersley on Wed., June 29 from 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at the Legion Hall located at 118 - 2nd Ave. East.
The purpose of the hearings is to allow for public input into the Commission’s Proposal, which puts forward a suggested new electoral map for Saskatchewan’s federal electoral boundaries. In brief terms, the Commission is suggesting at this time that some change may be needed to accommodate the large geographical areas with less population in the province.
Saskatchewan’s representation in the House of Commons is 14 members, which means that the Province must be divided into 14 electoral districts. Between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, Saskatchewan’s population count increased from 1,033,381 to 1,132,505. This increase must be accommodated within Saskatchewan’s 14 electoral districts. The population of the Province, divided by 14, gives an electoral quota for each electoral district of 80,893.
By way of further recognition of the large geographical areas covered by Cypress Hills-Grasslands and, to some extent, Moose Jaw - Lake CentreLanigan, the Committee is proposing a possible reconfiguration of both of these electoral districts to establish two electoral districts running east and west rather than north and south. These districts would be named Kindersley - Rosetown, and Moose Jaw - Swift Current - Grasslands. The Commission is also proposing a reconfiguration of the Saskatoon electoral districts.
As with all of the proposed changes, the Commission seeks the public’s input. To attend a public hearing, you must send a notice of representation to the Commission Secretary. You can either mail it to their office to: Ms. Marlene Rodie - Commission Secretary, Saskatchewan Electoral Boundaries Commission, PO Box 21031 RPO Gardiner Park, Regina, SK S4V 0Y0. You can also email it to SK@redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca or you may fill out the public hearing notice form, which is available online or use the Interactive Mapping Tool, also available online.
Everyone is invited to attend the hearings. The deadline to submit your notice
of representation has been extended to one week prior to the public hearing at which you wish to appear.
Should you wish to only send comments and feedback to the Commission, without attending a public hearing, you can do so by mail or email to the addresses given previously. The deadline to submit your submission is July 15, 2022.
Your notice of representation should include: your name, address and contact information, the organization you represent (if any), the date of the public hearing that you wish to attend, a short overview of the issues you intend to address, your official language of preference, and any accommodations you may need.
After holding public hearings and receiving written and oral submissions with respect to the Proposal, the Commission will prepare a final report, which will be published in the fall of 2022.

Heritage Manor needs volunteers
BY JOAN JANZEN
Your Southwest Media Group
Did you know that Kindersley Manor is in need of volunteers? Now that activities are up and running again, Recreation Coordinator, Corinne Salisbury, says the staff would appreciate the additional help offered by volunteers.
Corinne is new to this position as Recreation Coordinator, and is looking forward to hearing from interested people in the community. “When you sign up with the coordinator, you can tell them what activities you enjoy, and you will be paired up with someone with similar interests,” she explained.
Positions that need to be filled include: bingo caller, reading to small groups, hymn sing, sing-along, art class and one-onone visits. “Visits can take place any time of day, whatever suits the person,” she said. “You can visit as long as you want, play a game or take someone for a walk.” Staff will even provide reading material for anyone who would like to come and read to a group of residents.
If you have a special talent, would like to lead a program, or just assist the staff with an activity, the staff
would love to hear from you. “We don’t have any volunteers right now; we are in the sign up process,”
Corinne explained.
Children are also welcome to visit if accompanied by an adult, and people can also bring their pets.
“At the end of the month we have a petting zoo coming in; I know the residents will love it,” Corinne said. Of course, they will need volunteers for that activity.
Volunteers can assist staff with activities such as bingo, serving birthday cake, playing cards, exercises, and going outside.
“Every Monday we do baking; we have lots of residents who like that,” she said.
Anyone who wants to provide entertainment for the residents is welcome. “A couple of days notice is fine for people who want to come in and perform.” Corinne said. “We’re pretty open.”
One thing is certain ... whatever volunteers can offer will help brighten the day for the residents at Heritage Manor. Those interested can phone the Manor at 306-463-1000 extension 2585.

Theresa Williams enjoys living at Caleb
BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
Theresa Williams has enjoyed living at Caleb Village ever since she moved there in 2015. “My husband was here then, and we moved from a big condo,” she explained. Now Theresa lives alone, after the passing of her dear husband.
Theresa was born at Prelate, Sask. in 1930, the third youngest child amongst seven of her siblings. She currently has two sisters remaining. “I went to school at Coleville, so I haven’t come very far,” she explained. After marrying, she and her husband moved to Kindersley where her husband was area supervisor for highways.
Theresa worked at the bakery in Kindersley, and at Vera’s Jewellery. She quit working in 1957, and she and her husband moved to Kerrobert in 1960 where they resided for 22 years and raised a son and daughter.
“Back then Kerrobert was thriving,” Theresa said. And she was part of that thriving business community, as she had a fabric and drapery store called Quality Fabrics from 1970 to 1981. Theresa loved to sew, making all her daughter’s clothing, and many quilts.
Theresa’s husband Russ tried his hand at farming for a few years at Beadle, before they finally sold the farm. They moved to Kindersley in 1981. “We couldn’t find a house,” Theresa said. “There weren’t many houses for sale in Kindersley, so we built our home.”
She attended the Lutheran church, and did a lot of knitting, making items which were sold to raise funds for a church camp at Christopher Lake. Now Theresa has two grandchildren and
three great grandchildren. Thanks to the internet, Theresa stays in touch with her family. “I love my iPad,” she said. “I get pictures on it and talk to my family all the time.” And Theresa likes to keep busy.
She looks forward to playing bridge with three other ladies, as well as enjoying the numerous other activities which take place
regularly at Caleb. “I like doing puzzles and I read a lot. I watch curling on TV, and get a lot of news off of my iPad.”
An assortment of beautiful plants decorate Theresa’s deck, attesting to her love of plants. Whether she’s going for a walk outdoors or sitting on her deck having her morning coffee, Theresa is enjoying each day to the fullest.
Corinne Salisbury, the new Recreation Coordinator at Kindersley Heritage Manor, is ready to sign up new volunteers.
Kindergarten kids visit Rosanna Farms
Grain-fed vs grass-fed beef
BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
Grassfed and grainfed are terms used to describe the feeding program for grazing animals like cattle. Here’s an overview of what these terms mean for the beef you’re eating.
GRAIN-FED
Kindergarten students from Westberry School enjoyed a fun field trip on Thursday and Friday, June 9th and 10th. Miss. Robertson and Mrs. Dimitroff brought their students to Rosanna Farms, located south of Kindersley, home of Robin and Brenda Walde.
While most cattle are raised eating grass, many farmers “finish” their cows on feed mixtures made from grains and corn. This process fattens the cattle up faster and gets
While there’s nothing harmful about grain finishing, it does change the composition and flavour of the meat. For example, grainfed beef is heavily marbled and has a buttery, slightly sweet taste. Most people describe it as meltinyourmouth tender.
GRASS-FED
How to manage animal waste
Devin Walde, Payton Walde, Brennon Ness and Colt Beswitherick hosted groups of students at different farm stations. The children learned all about seeding, harvest and bin storage. They also spent time inside the shed where they learned about seed, fertilizer and chemical.
Grassfed beef comes from cattle that spend their entire lives eating grass. Typically, they graze on pastureland in the spring and summer, then eat hay in the fall and winter. Raising beef this way takes a lot of time, as grassfed animals take six to 12 months lon ger to reach market weight than grainfed animals. This extra time makes it more ex pensive for the rancher and the consumer.
Animal waste contains many useful and re cyclable components. However, if incor rectly stored, it can negatively impact soil, water and air quality. Here are a couple of the most common animal waste manage ment strategies.
DRY STACKING
To finish off the event, they all ate their lunch in the shop, where they decorated the cement pads with their creative chalk art. Thanks to Rosanna Farms for hosting this field trip!

Grassfed beef is leaner and darker in colour than grainfed beef and has a slightly gamey taste. It is somewhat higher in nutrients like beta carotene and vitamin E. It also has more omega3 fatty acids.
Despite variations in cost and taste, both grain and grass ces of protein, B vitamins, iron and zinc.

Dry stacking animal waste involves piling solid manure and soiled livestock bedding in a covered storage bin with a concrete bottom. Farmers must ensure the pile is compacted, covered and sealed to prevent manure nutrients from leaching into the soil. Drystacked manure can be treated with additives such as lime to help reduce unplea-
Composting manure involves turning over a pile of animal waste several times until it breaks down into a stable organic form. Composted manure is dense in nutrients and free of parasites and weed seeds. Many farmers use composted manure on field crops to improve the soil’s waterholding capacity and significantly reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.

Farms can also hire a certified manure hauler to come and remove animal waste from their property. Haulers either take the manure to a centralized composting facility or spread it on farmland.

• Natural service is used by most cattle breeders and producers. It’s the natural breeding method where the cow and bull are allowed to mate without technological intervention. In other words, the bull and cow mate as they naturally show heat.

This breeding method is labourintensive and requires farmers to invest in expensive facilities, equipment and estrous synchronization drugs. However, it often results in improved reproductive performance and herd genetics. In addition, AI reduces the risk of disease transmission.
Although the bulls must be fed and taken care of all year, this method is relatively handsoff and doesn’t require special equipment.

December 31, 1980 - Kindersley, Saskatchewan
May 30, 2022 - Calgary, Alberta
HOLLAND - Covy Holland beloved partner of Cassie Molyneux, of Calgary, AB, passed away on Monday, May 30, 2022 at the age of 41 years.
Covy was born in Kindersley, SK on Dec 31, 1980, always ready to celebrate his birthday with ringing in or welcoming a new year. He settled in Calgary, AB in 2008 after spending 10 years studying and working in Medicine Hat, Kindersley, Brooks, Calgary, Estevan, and Grand Prairie.
Covy graduated from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology with a Diploma in Petroleum Engineering Technology, where he first met Cassie in 2003. Covy was reconnected to Cassie on November 18, 2011. They spent their relationship in Calgary, raising and saying good-bye to their dog Chewie on August 19, 2021. They were soulmates who loved the simple pleasures in life - being outdoors, watching good movies, laughing with each other, and spending time with their families, especially their nieces and nephews.
Covy was a bright light who brought joy to everyone around him. He shared his gift for performance and seeing the beauty in life through his many years of improv, MCing weddings of family and friends, and entertaining everyone around him with his quick wit and hilarious way of seeing the world and sharing his stories. He had a
particular gift for connecting with children, and he brought laughter, joy, and connection to every child he spent time with. Covy found his connection to his Higher Power in nature and loved to be outdoors biking or hiking to connect with this Power.
Covy is survived by his loving partner Cassie; Cassie’s mom Traci; Cassie’s sister Ashley, her husband Ryan and their daughter Maylee; his sister Natalie and brother-inlaw Jordin and their children Nelle, Mason, Avery and Duke; his sister Trina and brother-in-law Layne and their son Myer; his Dad Gary and his partner Susan; and his Mom Ellen and her husband Tom. He is also survived by his Grandma Lorna, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Covy fought a long hard battle with mental illness. His family and friends will be forever grateful and in awe of his strength and resilience in this battle, and the gift he gave us to stay with us here for this many years. If you would like to make a donation in Covy’s memory, please consider the Canadian Mental Health association at https://cmha.calgary.ab.ca/waysto-give/donate/.
