Introducing Meridian Future’s new executive administrator
BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
Meridian Community Futures in Kindersley is proud to introduce Marcie Anderson as their new Executive Administrator. Marcie started at her new post at the end of February, 2022 and looks forward to seeing small businesses start up and succeed. She loves witnessing the passion people have when they start up a new business.
“My job is an administrative support to external and internal CF Meridian Region clients who are seeking loans, advice and support,” she explained. “My major focus is on the loan portfolio, ensuring that clients’ documentation, support management and services are handled efficiently and effectively.”
Community Futures Meridian Region
has a team approach in supporting startup and existing business clients. Marcie’s role is to support the CEO and the Business Development Officer with loan client applications, searches, credit checks, hosting Board of Director meetings, as well as helping to prepare loan documentation, registration of securities and after-care services. She also helps to monitor loan clients payment plans and the accompanying administration.
“Another part of my position here is generation administration,” Marcie said. This includes directing phone calls, emails and transactions, scheduling appointments and supporting event management
such as training.
Marcie is confident her past work experience has prepared her for this new venture.
“My background has been in the agriculture
lending world with my past position with Farm Credit Canada for 11 years. So far the transition from agricultural business to small non-agricultural business has been quite similar,” she said. “It has helped tremendously to have an understanding of the language of lending from a Letter of Offer to a Personal Guarantee. The CF program is very similar, but I am constantly learning.”
Marcie is now a member of a team, helping support small business owners, helping potential and existing entrepreneurs be successful and meet their goals. “The Community Futures organization goes the extra mile to support entrepreneurs, and I value being part of that,” she concluded.

Eston 95 Lions holds its 38th Ladies Night Out
BY JOAN JANZEN
Your Southwest Media Group
The Eston 95 Lions Club held a fabulous 38th Ladies Night Out on the last weekend in April, 2022. Gwen Etter, the club president, said, “It was a fabulous event! We had a full house of 210 ladies in attendance!”
The delicious meal was prepared by a Lions Club committee. The bar was managed by Eston Legion members, and several young, local men volunteered their time to serve the ladies. All the funds raised will be kept in Eston and in the next few months the club members will vote on where the funds will be allocated.
“The entertainment was an amazing live band from Regina, The Uncoolas, featuring an ex-Estonian Aaron Ruston. A great time was had by all; it was so great to be able to get together and celebrate women!” Gwen concluded. The ladies really enjoyed the dancing, and the band definitely kept the party going.
There were 140 prizes handed out to the attendees. The prizes were generously donated by businesses in the west central area. Prizes included nine grand prizes, each worth $500 or more, and one final grand prize of $1,000 and a flower bouquet donated by the 95 Lions Club.
In addition the club sold 50/50 tickets and had a diamond ring raffle.
The grand prize of $1000 cash and a flower bouquet donated by 95 Lions Club was won by Marion Andrews, 95 Lions club secretary. Additional prize winners were: Shari Gardiner - winner of the diamond ring. Cindy Gardiner won the fire table donated by Owens & Sweitzer. Karen Holmes won a camping love-seat filled with goodies, donated by PCCU. Kayla Echlin won $500 cash, donated by Ye Old Dental Clinic (Nicky Knight). Jean Minchin won a $500 gift certificate to Dakota Dunes Resort & Restaurant, donated by Eston Sheet Metal. Cassidy Mitchell won a Medicine Hat Rodeo weekend donated by Diamond H Cattle Co. Lana Aiken won a handcrafted quilt made and donated by Doreen’s Creations (Doreen Hewitson). Lorraine Hartsook won one year of vehicle maintenance donated by Rosetown Mainline Motors. Susan Swan won an oil painting by Paintings by CES. Brooke Thome won yard maintenance donated by Precision Vegetation Management.
“We are totally blown away by the support we got from all of you! Thank you to everyone who attended. We can’t do it without you and your support of our Lions club! We hope to see all next year!” Gwen said.

Thehusband said, “My wife thinks I don’t give her enough privacy. At least that’s what she said in her diary.”
While everyone wants their privacy to be respected, it’s becoming increasingly difficult. This week I’ve heard similar concerns expressed about digital identification, but from two different perspectives. Which, in turn, inspired me to bring it to your attention.
MP Leslyn Lewis noted that Canada is one of the first countries, along with the Netherlands, to sign on to the World Economic Forum’s pilot project to introduce a Known Traveller Digital Identity (KTDI). Other partners include Air Canada, Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport, and Toronto’s Pearson Airport.
The idea is that world travellers can increase “global” trust as they travel around the world. She notes, that although it sounds good, building up trust points through your activities is literally a credit score. By signing on to such an ID, we would be allowing a global body to determine what meets the requirement for an “acceptable” or “safe” traveller.
It could begin with a travel ID, but the WEF has suggested that this could be expanded to include one’s digital currency, banking information, carbon footprint, health records and driver’s license. Journalist, Anthony Furey suggested, although digital IDs may appear convenient and innocent, Canadians need to think long and hard before accepting them, as privacy boundaries begin to erode.
The second perspective on this topic was presented by a researcher at the University of Cincinnati and recent US immigrant by the name of Pei Li. He said he fled the People’s Republic of China and came to the west in search of freedom.
“But now I’m seeing troubling signs that remind me of what I left behind,” he said. “The loss of freedom doesn’t happen overnight. The social credit system in China has been decades in the making. It was OK at first; these things always are.”
In the 1990’s Chinese banks developed a financial bank rating system to increase lending in rural areas. It sounded convenient, but government officials soon realized similar programs could be set up to gather other information about the behaviour of citizens. By 2014, new technology allowed the government to monitor what people said, read and searched on the Internet.
“More data equals more control,” Li said. He witnessed the central government issue pilot programs in 43 cities across the country. Local officials labelled certain behaviours as acceptable and others as unacceptable. Citizens gained or lost points depending on whether their public and private behaviour conformed to government standards. If someone lost too many points, they would also lose privileges such as loss of Internet, bank loans and plane tickets.
Grumbling about state policy and discussing religion were unacceptable behaviours. “It’s assumed that this system will be mandated for all
citizens,” Li said. Some Chinese citizens think the system promotes good behaviour, addressing everything from crime, bad driving, and financial delinquency, but the system doesn’t stop there.
“Chinese authorities have drawn up massive blacklists for those deemed unacceptable,” Li said. According to The Guardian in England, 23 million names are on the blacklist.
A journalist named Liu Hu published articles exposing government corruption and censorship. The system banned him from flying, travelling by train, taking out loans and buying property without any due process. Many people have been sent to re-education camps for unacceptable behaviour.
Leslyn Lewis said concerns expressed in Canada are often dismissed as “conspiracy”. However Li said “Everything we see in China, we are starting to see here in the west.”
He went on to list mandates preventing Canadians from flying within and outside of their country, the freezing of bank accounts, disfavouring businesses like oil companies, and parents being criticized for objecting to what’s being taught in public schools.
Li is speaking as someone who fled from government control, and Leslyn Lewis is speaking as a lawyer with a PhD in International Law.
“The social credit system is the future of the People’s Republic of China,” Li said. “We must be vigilant. We don’t want it to be the future of our countries in the west.”

It sure isn’t evident when he seemed to be under the impression that Saskatchewan people sick of COVID-19 wouldn’t accept some reinstated of restrictions like indoor masking.
But the vast majority of Saskatchewan residents who made the right decision did so because it was right thing to do personally and the right thing to do for the betterment of all of us. We all just want to get through this pandemic as quickly as possible.
Yes, minority rights have to be respected in a democracy, but those minority’s right end about where the majority’s right begin.
For Moe to cater this group — presumably, because it is vocal and, arguably politically influential — is simply wrong.
“We’re not going back to widespread public health orders and restrictions that we once had in place,” Moe said

Every time the elevator comes to life and the moon rises behind us, whether it’s High Noon or High Si erra, Oldies on the Elevator never ceases to thrill and entertain.
Why Moe and his Sask. Party haven’t understood this is puzzling.
Moe has remained one of the most popular premiers in Canada since first being chosen for the job in January 2018 by being able to relate to voters’ concerns and by showing remarkable political instincts. It is this skill set that guided him to a massive fourth-term win last October where the Sask. Party massive majority he inherited from Brad Wall didn’t

take so much as a dent.
But both those instincts and that ability to relate have been badly off the mark of late.
They surely weren’t evident as Moe has sat mum during this provincial election campaign when a Saskatchewan Premier wouldn’t respond to shots from Justin Trudeau at Saskatchewan’s recent handling of COVID-19.
They surely weren’t present this summer when Moe was
And, most crucially, any political instinct or basic common sense that has been Moe’s brand has been loss in his refusal to responde to those record COVID-19 case counts — more than 500 cases in one single day including more than 100 little kids under 12 years not eligible for vaccines.
To this Moe has responded the problem is those not willing to get vaccinated? Yes, they are a problem, but what about little kids getting sick as they go back to school? What about the reality that the Sask. Party government message has been that adults who are refusing to get vaccinated are simply exercising their freedom of choice?
How is the current situa-
tion in which the unvaccinated taking up ICU beds otherwise needed for those having heart attacks or accidents fair to the vaccinated?
As luck would have it, I was crossing the road from the library to the hall when Ervin pulled up and offered to take me to lunch where we sat next to Cal and bemoaned the lack of moisture. “Just barely made it through last year and don’t see we’ll be able to do it again this year if we don’t get some real rain,” the
Why aren’t we pushing vaccine passports to make life difficult for those choosing not to get vaccinated?
How bad does the Saskatchewan government look when it appears to be waiting until Alberta — reputed to have the worst COVID-19 strategy in the country — takes the lead?
Perhaps it’s simply because Moe got caught up the notion of being the first to re-open — a notion that was initially popular. Maybe he read the political winds wrong or just didn’t want to make a move until after the federal election for fear of ramifications on federal Conservatives.
Whatever the reason, Moe has badly read the situation we are now in.
Over pork chops and won-ton and green tea, Ervin and I are catching up on our lives when his phone rings. Something about somebody needing a tractor or a flatbed or something. All I know is somebody’s borrowing something, so we cut our visit short. On the way home, I make Ervin stop to help me load into his truck an exercise bike with a sign scotch-taped on it that says: FREE. Then he’s off again, and I get down to writing this column.

Canadian Paralympic Gold Medallist
Chad Jassman hails from Burstall
BY MALLORY CAWTHRA
Your Southwest Media Group
Recently, I was driving past the Town of Burstall, and I noticed a sign saying, “Welcome to Burstall: Home of Canadian Paralympic Gold Medallist – Chad Jassman – Wheelchair Basketball, London, England, 2012.” It sounded impressive and piqued my interest, so I dove deeper into the origin story surrounding Chad Jassman.
I checked out the Wheelchair Basketball Canada website and learned that Chad grew up in Burstall playing many sports – a natural athlete - primarily focussed on hockey, and later became a snowboard instructor at Hidden Valley Ski Resort, while he was enrolled in the aviation program at Medicine Hat College. During that period in 2004 at the age of 20, Chad was involved in a car accident, where he was a passenger. He broke his back and ultimately lost the use of both of his legs, becoming a paraplegic.
The Wheelchair Basketball Canada website explained that Chad decided soon after his
injury, “I’m going to join the Paralympics and win a gold medal in wheelchair basketball.” While undergoing four months of rehab in the hospital, he would beg the gym attendant to let him shoot hoops in the gym in his day chair, which helped get him through long days and the uncertainty of the situation. Eventually after playing with the Calgary Grizzlies club team for a while, Chad, nicknamed “Jazzy,” decided to try out for the Team Canada wheelchair basketball team. He didn’t make the team in his first two tryouts, but he didn’t give up and his tenacity ultimately led to him making
the team in 2009.
In 2012, Chad went to his first Paralympics in London, England with Team Canada, where they won gold. He had been playing professionally in Europe prior to that, travelling the world and working hard at honing his basketball skills. Chad has competed at three Paralympics and three Parapan American Games since 2012.
Chad’s story is truly inspiring and a great reminder to remain optimistic, even during times of adversity. It’s also a good reminder to remain flexible and be willing to pivot when life throws you a curveball.
Curlers chase dreams with new teams
BY BRUCE PENTON Sports Columnist
Free-agent frenzy is one of the most interesting days for fans of the National Hockey League, but the shinny game has nothing on curling.
You might actually need a program listing team personnel next season if you want to keep track of who’s throwing stones for whom as teams target the next Olympic Games cycle. Hardly a single team has remained intact, other than Colton Flasch in Saskatchewan, whose rink is in the second tier of talent on the men’s side.
Let’s start at the top of the men: Brad Gushue’s Brier championship team is losing Brett Gallant, who moves to Alberta and will curl with Brendan Bottcher, whose front end of Karrick Martin and Brad Thiessen jumped ship to join Kevin Koe. The veteran Koe has picked up promising B.C. youngster Tyler Tardi to throw third stones. Gone from Koe’s 2022 rink are third B.J. Neufeld, who is teaming up with Matt Dunstone in a return-to-Manitoba adventure, second John Morris (retired to concentrate on mixed doubles)
and Ben Hebert, who will curl with Bottcher. Got all that? Well, there’s more. Plenty more.
Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie is taking the year off, and his second, E.J. Harndon, is rumoured to be the replacement for Gallant on the Gushue rink. Harndon’s brother, Ryan, will throw lead stones for Dunstone (along with Neufeld and Colton Lott). Marc Kennedy, the third for Jacobs last year, will fill that role on the Bottcher rink. Mike McEwen and long-time third Reid Carruthers have split, with Carruthers wanting to skip his own rink and McEwen rumoured to be considering joining John Epping’s Toronto foursome. Joining Carruthers are longtime skip Jason Gunnlaugson at third, Derek Samalgaski at second and Connor Njegovan at lead.
There were almost as many significant changes among Canadian women’s teams as there were with the men. Rachel Homan and Tracy Fleury, two of the top skips in Canada, have joined forces. Who will skip remains to be seen. Leaving the team was Joanne Courtney while the front end will consist of Sarah Wilkes and former third
Emma Miskew, who moves down to allow for the addition of Fleury. Veteran Winnipeg skip Jennifer Jones and her third, Kaitlyn Lawes, have parted ways, with Jones taking over the youthful Mackenzie Zacharias foursome, which won the Manitoba Scotties’ title this year. Lawes will skip her own rink with ex-Jones’ second Jocelyn Peterman at second, and two former members of the Fleury team, Kristin McCuish and Selena Njegovan, filling out the squad. Chelsea Carey has juggled her Saskatchewan-based team, adding Liz Fyfe, daughter of the late Brier champ, Vic Peters, at second. Casey Scheidegger of Lethbridge keeps her sister, Jessie Haughian, and adds two members of Laura Walker’s team, Kate Cameron at third and Taylor McDonald at second.

Saturn plans 29.2 net wells in southeast, 5 in west central Saskatchewan
CALGARY – Last year was transformational for Saturn Oil & Gas, with the acquisition of former Crescent Point properties in the Oxbow area. The result was a substantial growth in the company, just prior to dramatic increases in oil prices. Those realities were reflected in the company’s year-end financials, released at the end of business on April 29.
“The fourth quarter of 2021 was an important milestone for Saturn as we initiated our first drilling program at our newly acquired Oxbow asset,” said Justin Kaufmann, senior vice president exploration, in a press release. “Our inaugural Oxbow drilling program was highlighted with the top performing well drilled in Saskatchewan in Q4 2021 of the 550+ wells drilled with over 500 hours of production data.”
The company said it achieved corporate record production with fourth quarter 2021 average of 7,279 boepd, compared to 415 boepd in the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase of 1,654 per cent.
Saturn generated adjusted funds flow of $9.7 million and $27.3 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.2 million and $3.5 million in the comparable 2020 periods primarily due to contributions from the operations of the Oxbow asset.
It also achieved operating netbacks for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 of $35.66 per boe and $36.38 per boe.
Saturn invested $3.6 million development capital in the fourth quarter, drilling four 100 per cent working interest Frobisher wells.
The company generated fourth quarter free adjusted funds flow of $5.7 million, excluding property acquisition expenditures of $2.8 million relating to the Oxbow Asset. It exited the fourth quarter with $71.1 million net debt, realizing an annualized net debt to H2 2021 adjusted funds flow of 1.5x.
In a message to shareholders, Saturn’s press release said, “2021 was the most impactful year in the history of Saturn, which was highlighted by the acquisition of the Oxbow asset in June of 2021. This transformational acquisition enhanced the company’s long-term sustainability by adding a low decline, light oil focused production base that provides substantial cash flow to fund the future growth of the Company and to retire the debt incurred in the acquisition. The Oxbow asset also has extensive development potential with 298 gross booked drilling locations and an additional 200+ identified and un-booked gross drilling locations which collectively provide over a decade of internally generated drilling inventory. Also critical to Saturn’s future growth plans is the optimization and workover of the non-producing wells acquired at Oxbow and to return many of these wells into economic production.”
Saturn said it invested approximately $91.1 million in combined capital expenditures and property acquisitions in 2021 between the acquisition of the Oxbow asset and its 2021 drilling program. This investment resulted in a production increase of 3,024 per cent, from 233 boepd in Q1 2021 to 7,279 boepd in Q4 2021. “The production increase of 7,046 boepd implies an attractive capital investment efficiency of $12,929 per boepd. Saturn is focused on repeating the success of 2021 by continuing to direct future capital expenditures to the highest expected return projects in our inventory,” the company said.
CONTINUED PAGE 10
Saturn said it made substantial increases to its reserve base in 2021 with total proved (TP) and total proved plus probable (TPP) reserves increasing year over year by 910 per cent and 668 per cent, respectively. Finding, development and acquisition costs of reserves were achieved at “attractive metrics” of $3.15/boe for TP and $2.14/boe for TPP ($9.69/boe for TP and $9.28/boe including future development capital) which it said are top tier amongst light oil peers.
Pipeline Online continued
Oxbow update
The fourth quarter of 2021 marked the end of the integration period of the Oxbow acquisition and the beginning of the development of the company’s new core growth unit in southeastern Saskatchewan. Saturn drilled four successful horizontal wells in light oil-bearing Frobisher zones in the Glen Ewen area in the fourth quarter of 2021, which were placed into production in December of 2021 and in January of 2022. The initial production of Saturn’s first group of Oxbow wells has exceeded the company’s expectations averaging 96.3 bpd per well, for the first 30 days, representing a 40 per cent increase above the average type curve of all wells drilled in Southeast Saskatchewan Mississippian play in the past five years, with a sample size of 1,400 wells.
The initial success of these drill results has encouraged Saturn to undertake a 29.2 net well drilling program for 2022 at the Oxbow asset. This program is planned to be executed by one drilling rig which has been contracted throughout 2022, the company said.
Viking update
Saturn directed substantially all of its Q3 2021 capital expenditure program to the Viking asset in west central Saskatchewan with the drilling of three successful horizontal wells in the Loverna area. The Viking asset contains 53 gross booked drilling locations with reserves at year end 2021 representing approximately 15 per cent of the company’s overall booked drilling locations. Subsequent to year end, Saturn acquired a synergistic asset in Viking area increasing the company’s land position 200 per cent and adding additional drilling locations, in February 2022. Saturn has budgeted to drill five net Viking wells, starting in June of 2022, representing approximately 15 per cent of the wells Saturn plans to drill in 2022.
ESG Initiatives
Over the period of the boom, Crescent Point bought up the assets of many companies in southeast Saskatchewan, and a substantial portion of that is what Saturn acquired as its “Oxbow asset.” As a result, the newcomer to the area also has a substantial number of old wells it is now liable for.
Saturn said it continues to prioritize the abandonment and reclamation of wells that no longer have economic production potential as part of the company’s land reclamation program. The company has contracted two service rigs to work exclusively on decommissioning
old well bores and to date 38 wells have been abandoned. Saturn’s land reclamation program in 2022 is 100 per cent funded by $13.8 million awarded under the Accelerated Site Closure Program (ASCP) and through the Indigenous business credit pool. The company is targeting abandoning a total of 150 to 200 unproductive wells in 2022. Saturn continues to have a $21 million deposit with the Saskatchewan government for future abandonment and reclamation obligations.
Outlook
Saturn said it is pursuing a balanced approach to sustainable production growth and rapid repayment of debt. The company is forecasting 2022 to be another record year for oil and gas production, as outlined in the March 15, 2022 announcement of the fully funded $50 million capital program. The budgeted 2022 capital program is expected to result in:
Average 2022 annual production in the range of 7,800 to 8,200 boepd;
Generating hedged EBITDA in the range of $73 to $77 million, based on USD $75 WTI oil price assumption;
Corporate hedged EBITDA to reach between $93 to $97 million, based on USD $100 WTI oil price assumption; and
Q4 2022 average production in the range of 8,100 to 8,500 boepd, representing year-overyear production growth between 12 per cent –17 per cent.
As a guiding principle, Saturn intends to direct approximately 50 per cent of future corporate cash flow towards growth capital expenditures and approximately 50 per cent to the repayment of debt. Saturn is committed to reducing debt levels in the near term and expects to make principal payments of approximately $38 million in 2022 and $40 million in 2023 which is expected to result in approximately zero net debt by year end 2023, assuming USD $75 WTI oil prices, under its current senior term loan. Saturn anticipates that when future debt levels reach a sustainable level and debt repayments are terminated, the company will have the capability to direct a portion of corporate cash flow to shareholders in the form of a dividend or share buyback program, subject to board of directors’ approval. Saturn has outstanding 13.4 million warrants, on a post consolidated basis, that expire on June 4, 2023 (trading symbol SOIL.WT, post-consolidated strike price of $3.20/share) that if exercised, would result in up to $42.9 million of proceeds that could accelerate the reduction of net debt.
Wage loss replacement benefits are completely tax-free if you paid all the premiums of the plan. They are taxable if your employer paid all the premiums. If both you and your employer contributed to the premiums, you can reduce the taxable portion of the benfits by the premiums you paid.

Cuba Medical Mission raises funds
BY JOAN JANZEN
Your Southwest Media Group
John Martinez and his wife Razel were busy preparing delicious Filipino cuisine at Clearview Community Church on Friday, April 29th. The meal, accompanied by a silent auction, was a fundraiser for the Cuba Medical Mission. Ruth Griffith explained what the medical mission is all about.
From 2004 to 2019, Ruth and her husband Lloyd took six teams of approximately fifteen volunteers to Cuba. The volunteers from churches in Delisle, Kindersley and Saskatoon would primarily help out with construction projects and do children’s ministry.
“The first time we went we had about 235 kids each day,” Ruth said. “We would hand out gift bags with candy. Some of the kids had never had candy before. We always stayed at a resort so we weren’t a burden on the local people, because it’s difficult for Cubans to host and feed that many people.”
In May of 2018, Ruth and Lloyd made a trip to Cuba, and while there toured a medical clinic. It is the only day clinic serving a city of 45,000, and they were shocked by what they saw!
“There were no privacy rules. We could go into any room where patients were being examined,” she said. “There was no hot water in the clinic, and an empty medicine cabinet. They can’t buy pain medication there.”
When they walked in, there was cardboard on the floor instead of floor mats. Throughout the entire building, only three of the window air conditioners were working, and power outages occur daily.
“This particular clinic had five doctors, and they all shared one stethoscope and one blood pressure cuff,” Ruth said. “They have one hospital gown that’s worn by every patient who gets scanned, and it gets washed once or twice a month. The x-ray technician is in a small room with an open tray of x-ray developer, breathing in those fumes.”
That’s a small snap shot of what a medical clinic in Cuba looks like, and it caused Ruth and Lloyd to begin to collecting supplies in Canada.
“Since then we’ve been collecting supplies ... hospital beds, recycled wheelchairs, crutches, linens, any surplus supplies that are useful in Cuba.”
They have accumulated a large storage room full of supplies, and are looking into the difficult process of shipping the them to Cuba. “I’ve connected with a ministry based out of London, Ontario called ‘Together With Cuba’. They have a partnership with MediCuba which will share the cost of shipping if we can get our supplies to Ontario,” Ruth explained. “It sounds easy, but it’s more difficult than we every thought.”
Although the couple hasn’t been able to go on mission trips for the past few years, they continue to send care packages to Cuba. Circumstances have become even more desperate for the people in Cuba since Ruth and Lloyd last visited that country. “Their suicide rate is very high, and anyone who has a possibility of leaving will do so,” Ruth explained. Although leaving is dangerous, she was told 32,000 Cubans escaped to Nicaragua during the month of March, 2022.
Basic essentials are often impossible to find, or extremely expensive. Ruth said a pair of adult running shoes can cost $182 US, and something as simple as sewing needles cannot be found, even though many women use sewing as a source of income.
Although growing produce and raising cattle seem like a logical solution, Ruth explained why it’s not a simple solution in Cuba. “The Cuban government has rules about what people can grow. It’s against the law to grow potatoes unless you have a special licence from the government,” she said. “The more you find out ... the more rules you discover. Cows are government property. If you have a milk cow, the first 5 litres of milk goes to the government. It boggles your mind,” she said.
Meanwhile, Ruth and Lloyd, along with others, continue to raise money for the Cuban people. Their supper and silent auction on Friday evening brought in a total of $3,000.00.
“We are very grateful for all the support the project t has received in the community,” Ruth concluded.
This gown is worn by every patient who is examined in this room.
This is an examining room. Ruth heard of a pregnant woman who wasn’t able to get to the hospital in time and delivered her baby on this examination table.

LETTER TO EDITOR
An Open Letter to Kindersley’s Gas Stations
Pretty sure that everyone has noticed that our fair town of Kindersley has some of the highest priced gas and diesel in Saskatchewan. While fuel and (crude oil) prices are dropping from $130.00 U.S. to under $100.00 today, for reasons unknown, Kindersley’s stations don’t budge. Is it too much to ask to be the same as the highest price in Saskatoon, or the same price as our good neighbours in Rosetown?
At this writing we’re .08 cents higher. Unnecessary gouging! We must be the only place in Canada that hasn’t dropped. These inflated

When oil was $140.00 U.S. back in 2008, the highest gas in town was $1.42.9. Here we are at $1.73.9 and oil is under $100.00. Get it together and please stop the gouging! Prices are too high as it is!

SLATER - Delphine Mary (Ward) Slater was born on December 23, 1944, in Dodsland to Charlie and Dollie (Natalia Stienkey). Delphine lived with her parents on the family farm south of Flaxcombe and then in Marengo until she graduated from Westcliffe Composite in 1962.
Delphine graduated from hair dressing school in Calgary, Alberta in 1963. She was a hairdresser in Calgary, Kindersley, Marengo, and Loverna.
Delphine married Barrie Slater in 1965. Delphine supported Barrie in his adventure with farming, exotic cattle, and crop dusting.
Delphine became a member of the Loverna’s Sport Club and
the Loverna Legion. She was President of the Heritage Manor Auxiliary, Secretary of the Grattle Grazing Corp, and Loverna Land and Cattle, and Treasurer of the Loverna Cemetery Club. Delphine’s hands were never idle. She would spend many hours outside gardening, growing a multitude of hanging pots of flowers and a large flower garden. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, and quilting. Her first passion was baking and cooking. Delphine always had freezers full of baking and she always would set an extra plate at the table for those that stopped. A person could always smell the aromas of fresh baking when walking into the home. Delphine’s second passion was cross stitch. Delphine created beautiful pictures and won 1st place two years in a row for two of her cross stitch. All those that knew Delphine felt her beautiful heart. She always had time for anyone that needed her support. She enjoyed spending time with younger people and was known as a
second mom to many. Delphine leaves to mourn her brother Wayne (Kay), nieces Roxanne and Lynn, Janet (Bill), nephews Steven and Jordon, brother-in-law Lorne Ellwood, sister-inlaw Rena Moulton, niece Audra Horvey; sons Dustin and Wyatt, nephew Greg (Renee) and Lucas Moulton, and many friends. She is predeceased by parents Charlie and Dollie, sister Josephine Ellwood, brother-inlaw Dale Moulton, nephews Gary Moulton and Wes Horvey and great-nephew Blake Moulton.
A service for Delphine was held on Monday, April 11th, 2022 at 2:00 P.M. at the Loverna Hall with Susan Mielke as Mistress of Ceremonies. She is laid to rest in the Loverna Cemetery.
Memorial tributes may be directed to Susan Mielke or mail to the Loverna Cemetery, Loverna, Saskatchewan, S0L 1Y0, or a charity of the donor’s choice.
