Coke: It’s the Real Thing for Eston’s Stewart Hunter
ESTON - Walk into the home of Stewart Hunter in Eston, and you will begin seeing ‘red,’ lots of red Coke ornaments, plates, coolers, model cars, stuffed toys, platters, clocks and bottles; whatever you can think of. Stewart’s home is filled with items adorned with the Coke’s decorative name, which he began collecting thirty years ago.
Until 2020, Stewart was assisted by his dear wife, Lynda, who sadly passed away last year; the couple had been married for 56 years. Stewart began by collecting Coke bottles, but it was his wife who loved collecting everything else. Stewart said they came to an agreement and decided, “our collection will stay within the walls of our house,” with the exception of Coke
Christmas decorations and a Coke Secan, which is placed in his yard. “Otherwise, it’s all contained in the house,” Stewart said. Consequently, their basement has become a Coke museum, with more items dispersed throughout the rest of the house. Every ornament and collectable has a story to go along with it.
It’s common to see Stewart wearing a “Coke” t-shirt, which isn’t surprising since he estimated he has about 30 in his closet. Along with his family, he honoured his wife by wearing Coca-Cola shirts and hats to her funeral. Even the minister wore a Coke coat. Lynda surely would have been pleased with the thoughtful gesture, as she loved to make items with a Coca-Cola theme and give them as gifts.
The couple’s hobby collection resulted in many new friendships being made
throughout the years.
It was a friend who first suggested they join the Coca-Cola Collectors Club. This friend was a Coke sales rep from Swift Current. “He came over and looked at our Coke collection and suggested we join the club,” Stewart said. That was 24 years ago, in 1997 to be exact. “Our chapter would go to a show in California one year, and Vegas the next, alternating. Lynda’s sister lived in the States, so it was a good excuse to go and attend the collector show.” And since the shows took place during the cold month of February, Stewart noted: “it was a good time to get away.”
The show lasts for four days, which includes a silent auction and a live auction with larger, more expensive items. Older items are more valuable since fewer of the original items were made. Stewart has an older straight-
60-year-old poppy quilt tucked away
Linda Klassen shared photos of a treasured quilt she had tucked away for safekeeping.
“It’s a little piece of Herschel / Stranraer history,” she noted. Her uncle, Herb Seibold, had won the quilt in a Legion raffle, and he gave the quilt to her years ago. Linda tucked it away for safekeeping and decided to share it in honour of the 100th anniversary of the
Remembrance Poppy in Canada.
“I can’t even imagine the time it would have taken to stitch the names and poppies on it, but I think many hands worked on it,” she said, estimating it was made back in 1961. There are over 300 names on the quilt, which are sure to bring back many fond memories.
side green glass Coca-Cola bottle that was from the late 1800s.
“We always drove, but you’d have to limit your purchases if you were flying,” Stewart said. “Going to the shows is fun because you meet everyone, and you have this in common, so you immediately begin to visit. During the day, everyone spreads whatever items they have for sale in their rooms, and then you tour around and buy stuff.”
Even though Stewart is no longer able to enjoy a cold Coke because he’s diabetic, he said, “I will probably drop a couple hundred bucks at the Coke store in Vegas this winter, but the fad might wear off if I do it myself.” Nevertheless, he enjoys showing friends his collection and sharing stories and happy memories.

KINDERSLEY - The Royal Purple and the Brain Injury Society pulled off a fun and successful fundraising event on Saturday, November 6th, at the St. Joseph Catholic Church Hall. Approximately thirty-nine guests enjoyed a delicious roast beef supper catered by Jody Deanna of Kindersley, followed by a dance with live entertainment.
Entertainment was provided by the classic rock band, One Cent Melon from Lloydminster. Fundraising efforts also included both a silent auction and a loonie auction. The silent auction and loonie auction were stocked with numerous items and gift cards, thanks to donations from local businesses.
Darlene May has been organizing this event for the past four years, and this year’s event was another huge success. “All of our silent auction items went, raising $10,000,” Darlene said. The loonie auction raised $400, and $4,000 was given to the Kindersley Food Bank, as well as $4,000 donated to the Crisis Centre’s women’s shelter.
“The funds raised for the Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association ($1,500) and for Westberry School ($500) were funds from the 50/50 draw in the spring and our Boogie Walk in May,” Darlene explained.
The Sask. Royal Purple is in partnership with the Sask. Brain Injury Association,” Darlene said. “They’ve raised a little over $100,000 in five years, which helps the programs and weekend camps for caregivers.”
Royal Purple members from Maple Creek, Saskatoon, Beechy, Prince Albert, Sherbrooke and St. Walburg attended the event. “The members are very supportive of these events,” Darlene said. The Kindersley Royal Purple has six members, two of which are from out of town.

Giving Canadians something to laugh about at the pumps is a good diversion, because otherwise they may shed a tear because of the rising cost

of gas. Franco Terrazzano, the federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, addressed the topic.
“Gas prices are soaring right now. Depending on what province you’re in, 31 percent to 42 percent of the price of gas consists of taxes. In Montreal it’s at 42 percent. They’re paying six different types of taxes in Montreal. In many provinces the tax makes more
than a third of the price at the pump,” Terrazzano explained.
If you’re wondering what kind of gain Canadians get from a carbon tax, you’re destined to be disappointed, because there is none. The government quietly reveals stats which show emissions are rising. Meanwhile their claim that the carbon tax is revenue neutral is not proving to be true. For example,
if a two-person working family in B.C. makes more than $59,000/year, they aren’t eligible for a rebate.
The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Well, the government’s answer to higher emissions is to jack up the carbon tax, but that’s not all, Terrazzano said. “The government is also going to hammer us with a second carbon tax. That second carbon tax will add about 16 cents per litre to the cost of gasoline. In 2030 you’ll get soaked for about $40 in taxes when you fill up a mini van.”

Terrazzano continued to say, even if the government brought our energy industry to a screeching halt, which seems to be their goal and would inflict so much pain, it wouldn’t do anything for the global environment. Even Trudeau admitted this.
In a 2018 interview Trudeau said, “If Canada stopped everything tomorrow and the other countries didn’t have any solutions, it wouldn’t make a big difference.”
Unfortunately his words didn’t make much of a news splash.
razzano. “If you really want to put together an environmental plan, you have to take a global outlook. Canada makes up only 1.5 percent of global emissions.”
Another example of insanity is our Canadian government sending more delegates than any other country to the UN climate change conference in Glasgow, for the greater good of our nation. A total of 277 bureaucrats, plus the PM’s official photographer, videographer and lead speechwriter, 17 press secretaries and communications directors, four CBC reporters and the entire Green Party caucus. While the host country only sent 227 delegates on the short drive to Glasgow, Canadians have yet to hear the total
Meanwhile, groups such as “Support Canadian Energy” offer often neglected information, stating that emissions intensity from the oil sands dropped 27 percent in six years. “Instead of transitioning our energy industry into oblivion, Canada should take advantage of this industry’s strengths. We should be growing our industry, displacing oil from countries that abuse human rights and the environment,” a representative from the group said.
“Carbon tax is a tax plan; it’s not an environmental plan,” said Ter-
Carbon tax isn’t just on gas; it’s on everything, because everything, including food, is transported on trucks which use diesel. It becomes even more complicated when all major political parties are carbon tax cheerleaders.
Groups such as the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and Support Canadian Energy believe there’s power in numbers. Groups like these are soliciting help from Canadians in an effort to make Canada a better place to live.

Afriend phoned last week to ask if I had any more copies of apart, the new pandemic anthology put out by the Saskatchewan Writer’s Guild and edited by Courtney-Bates Hardy and Dave Margoshes.
“I think I have a few; you want one?”
“Yeah,” she replied, “I just saw Caitlin McCallum-Arnal read bits of Leonard Goes to Florida online, and I want to find out how it ends.”
I say that she could also drive to Eastend on Thursday and hear Caitlin read in person, because a group of us rural outliers – Helen Moure from Rosetown, Peggy Worrell from Swift Current and myself from Val Marie - got a grant from SaskArts to travel and read our respective stories at the library.
(I want to pause here and marvel at Saskatchewan’s funding agencies for the arts. The only other place I’ve lived where writers like myself have been acknowledged with such generosity and cultural far-sightedness is Quebec, where cultural preservation is such an imperative; it’s written on their license plate! In times like these - where we feel stretched and threatened, the arts bring our lives into relief, give them shape, keep us honest. As Winston Churchill said to his minister of culture when the man suggested a cut
in the arts was necessary to fund the war: “Then what are we fighting for?”)
To read the anthology apart is to travel the length of the country. Though most of the writing comes from Saskatchewan, guild members submitted from their desks as far away as Nova Scotia, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan, to name just a few.
My friend continued. “It’s amazing – an archive in the making, really. I mean, this thing ain’t over by a long-shot, but the anthology is preserving its effect on us as we speak.”
She’s right. The anthology (“panthology” as Peggy called it - a slip of the tongue that has stuck with the rest of us) is a hybrid collection of impressions of a plague sweeping a country, not unlike the Spanish flu, which took thirty-five Eastend residents in Stegner’s childhood days. And it is estimated that nearly half the Blackfoot people died during the smallpox epidemic of 1869-70, according to Captain William Butler in his report.
But while reports are important for the cultural record, stories are essential for survival. This we learn from indigenous culture – the need to tell the stories to each other, in person, in a warm room, over win-
ter, when the outdoor world folds in on itself and sleeps through the cold and the dark. The importance of a personal connection to the elements of the story, even as the ending remains a mystery and the stuff of dreams, comes when we meet and read in person. We get through tough times by telling each other our worst fears and greatest joys, by not staying as sick as our hard-held secret despair. We are, after all, the story-telling animal.
It’s an odd feeling, reading from a book to a room full of people about a situation that calls for isolation. I thought of the risks banned, and exiled readers take every time they open their mouths. Exiled by a germ, we took precautions and forged ahead in the service of story. Six feet apart feels like herding us in, I once joked about my ranching community. But we humans are herd animals, and we need to be within a bellowing, if not whispering, distance.
Apart is full of poems, stories, essays and drama. Besides being a record, it’s a considered response, an emotional reaction, and everything in between. Apart is sixty-four writers who, I feel certain, would prefer to read to you in a warm room rather than through a screen, if they could. Four of us had that chance last Thursday.
We appointed Peggy as our MC. Her piece, On The Eve of Halloween, was inspired by the story of her grandfather’s death. Heinrich Weinmeister died on Oct 31, 1919 in Rhein SK, from the after-effects of the Spanish Flu. Peggy’s pacing is pitch-perfect; she draws us in slowly.
Helen’s story, One Afternoon in the Winter of Our Discontent, is about relationships. How a husband and wife discover new things about each other when forced to isolate together. Her language is clear and piercing, covering domestic terrain as deftly

as Carol shields or Anne Tyler.
My own piece, Essential Work, muses on the effect of epidemics on the homeless, already besieged by the pandemics of unemployment, opioids and suspicion. When it comes to how media reports on the pandemic, I quote the author George Saunders remark that: “the Conservative Opinion King has more in common with the Liberal Opinion King”, than either has in common with “the conservative and liberal slaughterhouse workers in Wichita Kansas.” Or Brooks, for that matter.
I care how stories get disseminated. I’m disturbed by the cognitive disconnect that comes with posing as journalists who are meant to put the story first yet strive for personal visibility and celebrity status in a profession increasingly seduced by fame and fortune. A decade ago, I turned to the far less lucrative, yet immensely more freeing, life of a freelancer. I live in fear of having lost my sense of humour: a fate, these days, as mortifying as losing one’s sense of taste and smell.
But that’s where Leonard comes in. Caitlin read from Leonard
Goes to Florida, but time permitting, decided not to read the piece in its entirety. So now, we all want to know: what happens to Leonard? Did his sister let him in? Did the border guard arrest him? Did he get to see his daughter? Leonard is alive for us as a character worthy of a whole novel. His fear is ours, a fear we may “shit our pants” before this whole thing is over. But he feels the fear and drives south anyway. His example convinces us four women, by the end of the night, to take our own stories on the road.

“Common Truths” Visual Art Display in Leader
MALLORY CAWTHRA
Your Southwest Media Group
LEADER - From now until November 23rd, 2021, go and view Donna Langhorne’s “Common Truths” art display in Council Chambers at the Leader Town Office. Also known as “Donna the Strange,” Langhorne is the self-taught artist behind the “Common Truths” visual art painting series. Langhorne currently resides in Air Ronge in Northern Saskatchewan and painted the “Common Truths” series in the Woodlands style, which is influenced by her ancestral Anishinaabe roots as a Fishing Lake First Nation member, located on Treaty 4 territory. Langhorne incorporates vibrant and captivating colours, along with strong outlines, throughout the series and highlights “20 common truths impacting Indigenous people.” The truths include but are not limited to alcohol and addictions, residential schools, suicide, disproportionate incarceration, murdered and missing Indigenous women, human trafficking and stereotypes. Langhorne’s paintings may elicit an emotional response from the viewer due to the heavy nature of the subject matter.
Langhorne explained about her work: “References drawn from the TRC [The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada], the media, and/ or the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, are included for each of the 20 Common Truths.” Each of the five groups (classes) of paintings contains four art pieces (doodem clans, also known as animal totems), telling a story with the integration of an animal from the Anishinaabe culture that requires the viewer to look deeper in order to unpack the common truths.
“It was a natural fit for OSAC [the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils], to tour “Common Truths,”
Introducing Mallory Cawthra
JOAN JANZEN
Your West Central Voice is pleased to have Mallory Cawthra as a local contributor, covering events. Although Mallory grew up in Victoria, B.C., she has successfully adjusted to small-town prairie life.
After earning a degree in sociology at the University of Victoria, Mallory decided what to do next. “I was in reserve policing, deciding what I wanted to do in my career path. I applied to a bunch of different police agencies and was hired by the RCMP,” she explained. From there, she went to Regina for training.
Her first posting was in Manitoba, then La Ronge, both of which were a bit of a culture shock after living in Victoria. Desiring a change,
she applied to the Edmonton police service and worked there for just over a year.
“I decided to change my career and was looking for something else,” she said. Mallory had always been interested in writing, loved to read and was curious about people. She is currently contemplating taking journalism and says she
may go to university in the fall.
She moved to Leader in August of 2019 with her significant other. When she heard about Your West Central Voice, she thought it would be an excellent opportunity to gain some writing experience and get out in the community. She’s eager to write about people and events in the area.
Although living in a small town is a different lifestyle experience for Mallory, she enjoys going to different parks in Saskatchewan, exploring new places, and being outdoors. “I like fitness and am starting to get back into running,” she said.
We look forward to reading her future contributions to Your West Central Voice
Operation Christmas Child
which was chosen based on its artistic merit and cultural relevance … we are really excited about her work; these are hard topics and beautiful paintings,” explained Zoë Schneider, Visual and Media Arts Coordinator for OSAC. Pamela Sifert is the Visual Arts Coordinator for the Leader and District Arts Council. She further explained: “OSAC has visual art touring program called Arts on the Move. Normally, our arts council members attend the annual Showcase conference, where the musicians or other performing artists audition their performances and choose which shows we think would best suit our audience. This had to change in the last year and a half, so we have had to just choose our shows over virtual platform and book them for our community.”
“I have always taken all of my Arts Education students to the town office whenever there is a visual arts display because, for many of them, this is their only opportunity to experience looking at art and responding to different types of art. When I walked out after my first tour with my Art 10 students on Monday afternoon, my heart felt very heavy with sadness after learning the background of each painting. This is the “truth” piece of the “Truth and Reconciliation” that we, as Canadians, must all face at this moment in history,” Sifert added.
The paintings make reference to traditional teachings and concepts and look to the Anishinaabe clan structure to help with healing, recovery and forward action. Brooke Clary, a member of the Leader and District Arts Council, said, “With our partnership with OSAC, they make it quite easy to bring in amazing art exhibits into rural locations. What would be a four-hour plus drive to see this level of fine arts in a gallery becomes a five-minute walk to see it in our own town office.”
Operation Christmas Child is designed to meet the needs of children around the world by distributing gifts. Every year in early November, individuals are invited to fill a shoebox with everything a child would love to receive during the Christmas season. Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches worldwide in this endeavour, which began in 1993.
It all began when a man in England approached the president of Samaritan’s Purse, asking if he would be willing to fill shoeboxes with gifts for children in war-torn Bosnia. Since then, Samaritan’s Purse has collected shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for children worldwide, which have been delivered to 188 million children in more than 170 countries. This is made possible with the assistance of tens of thousands of volunteers from local churches around the world, including churches in Kindersley.
Operation Christmas Child Canada focuses their efforts in West Coast Africa and Central America. These are the areas designated to them.
The colourful shoeboxes are provided; all that remains is for each one to be
filled by generous citizens. Each box is labeled for either children ages 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14, depending on the contents, accompanied by a donation of $10 to help cover project costs, including shipping. This year, all the filled shoeboxes were brought to New Life Community Church in Kindersley by November 10. The generosity of local participants will ensure children around the world will receive a gift this Christmas.
Children in the Dominican Republic were thrilled when they opened their gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes last Christmas, and Operation Christmas Child is making it happen once again.

Thrashers play in Dodsland
The Kindersley Full Tilt Holdings Ltd. Thrashers hit the road the morning of Sunday, November 7 and headed to Dodsland, after being rebooked due to Kindersley’s ice plan issues.
The puck dropped at 11:00 a.m. against the Wilkie/ Biggar National Outlaws. Unfortunately the boys came up short loosing 8-2. Thrashers goals were scored by Easton Wigley and Dawson Moen.
The team is next in action November 20th when they will take on Dinsmore, at the West Central Events Centre. | SUBMITTED ARTICLE & PHOTOS
Klippers continue strong play despite home rink setback
The Kindersley Klippers weren’t able to play in their home rink over the weekend but have continued strong play regardless.
A malfunction at the ice plant left the ice in a liquid state – leading to the postponement of Friday’s game against Notre Dame – but the team carried forward.
They beat Yorkton 3-2 on Saturday, and though they fell to Battleford 3-1 on Tuesday, they’re still 6-2-1 in their last nine.
“We ended up having to turn off the other rink, and the ice had to be redone. It’s back to normal now,” said Assistant Coach Mitch Topinka. “We practiced on it this week, and we should be good to go.”
It was an unfortunate turn of events for a Klipper’s team that was hosting Parents Weekend, leaving them without ice in Kindersley to play on.
“We had to postpone Friday, and we didn’t find out about the ice condition until after 5 p.m. That night. It was too late to call Notre Dame, so they brought someone to try to fix it. It didn’t work, and it was a long night. We officially called the game at 9 p.m. But on Saturday, we were offered ice in Rosetown, which is 45 minutes away,” he said.
“We just wanted to see the boys play for Parents Weekend, and to have Rosetown reach out to us was amazing. It was so nice that they accommodated us,” he said. “We jumped all over the opportunity. It was nice to see that community step up and help out.”
Even hosting at the AGT Foods Centre in Rosetown, the team saw 521 people in attendance, and the coach says he likes what he sees from the crowds.
“Others are feeling the difficulties of not having crowds, but I’m told our attendance is even a little higher than previous years. We’ve been really happy. Home games have been good,” he said.
“The guys feed off the crowd, and it’s a different energy with people there. It’s just really fun to watch when it gets them going.”
The 3-2 Klippers win saw two goals from Jaxon Georget, one from Aidan Bangs, and a 25-save performance from goalie Brett Sweet.
Despite this, the Klippers were outshot. They killed off both their penalties, but in five powerplays, they failed to capitalize against Yorkton.
“Our game on Saturday wasn’t pretty. We need some improvements, even though we got two points. I wasn’t overly happy with our performance,” he said.
“I thought it was a sloppy game on both sides, and
we need to work at that powerplay. We need to try different things and shoot the puck. If we don’t shoot, then we can’t score.”
The Klippers went 0/4 on the powerplay against Battleford in the 3-1 game, with goaltender Matthew Pesenti stopping 29 of 32 shots. Max Kathol scored in the loss.
Klipper’s centre Noah Lindsay says the powerplay is something the team needs to continue to push on.
“Overcoming our struggle with the powerplay means continuing to work in practice. We need to develop chemistry and confidence with each other as teammates,” he said.
However, Lindsay has also noticed a change in the team within the last few weeks.
“Morale and positivity had been awesome since we started winning. The past few games, there has been a lack of focus, but we are still learning how to play a solid 60 minutes,” he said. “We deal with the highs and lows, and we just need to refine throughout this year.”
They will have a rematch against Battleford at 7:30 ST on Friday, Nov. 12.

Another Canadian shines on PGA tour
There’s a new Canadian threat on the PGA Tour.
Taylor Pendrith, a 31-yearold Ontario native who qualified for the Tour in 2020 via the developmental Korn Ferry Tour, but had to wait a full year to strut his stuff because of a Covid-19-related graduation freeze, has wasted little time in showing he belongs among the world’s best.
Twenty and thirty years ago, Canadians challenging for victories on the PGA Tour was a rarity, but in recent years, the likes of Corey Conners, Adam Hadwin, Nick Taylor and Mackenzie Hughes have been in contention, and occasionally winning, periodically.
Now, Pendrith has been added to the list of Canadians making a splash. One of the longest hitters on tour, according to U.S. network golf announcers, Pendrith dominated the recent Bermuda championship for three days before falling victim to firstyear jitters on the final day and plunging to fifth place. Still, Pendrith won $251,000 and served notice that he’s got enough game to be a regular threat.
Pendrith shot a tournament record 61 on the second day of the tournament, and followed it up with a 65 in Saturday’s third round, opening up a three-shot lead heading into Sunday. A victory would have come with perks galore — two years of Tour security, a berth in the 2022 Masters, a spot in January’s Tournament of Champions at Kapalua in Maui, not to mention nearly $1.2 million in prize money. But it was an Australian, Lucas Herbert, who picked up the Bermuda win on a windy and rainy final Sunday as Pendrith struggled.
Pendrith, Conners and Hughes all attended Kent State before turning pro. Pendrith got married two weeks before his near-triumph in Bermuda, with Conners standing up as his best man.
Other Canadians with some Tour status include veteran David Hearn, Michael Gligic, Roger Sloan and Adam Svensson. Technically, Graham DeLaet of Weyburn is still a PGA Tour member, but medical problems have prevented him from playing a full schedule since 2017 and it’s possible his playing career
is over.
Meanwhile, Pendrith has full Tour status for at least all of 2022. His early showings give a pretty strong indication he’s going to be more than a one-tournament wonder.

John Henry Klein June 29, 1929 to November 5, 2020
TUMBACH - Mr. Edward John Tumbach, aged 94, passed away peacefully with family by his side and went to be with his Savior on November 8, 2021 at the South West Integrated Health Care Facility (SWIHCF), Maple Creek, Sk. A full life was lived until age and declining health necessitated living at Cypress Lodge Assisted Living Maple Creek. A hearty thankyou to Jenni and her staff and recently the SWIHCF where he was cared for as family.
Ed was born February 23, 1927 on a farm near Blumenfeld, Sk., the oldest of four boys born to Alexander and Pauline. He achieved his early schooling at Baden, a country school one mile from the farm. Ed attended St. Charles Scholasticate in Battleford, Sk. for Grade ten. While there he was also a Cadet. He returned home to help on the farm when his father became ill.
He married Anne Volk of Mendham on December 29, 1947 at St. Anthony Church in Mendham. For a short time, they lived in Acadia Valley, Alberta where Ed worked at the local bar. They returned to the Liebenthal area where Ed farmed successfully. Even after moving to Leader in 1980, when his son Ron moved to the farm, Ed continued to be active in the farming operation with his two sons until he retired at the age of 77. His life-long-in-
terest in farming and the weather was inspiring.
Ed was involved in church and community organizations in the surrounding areas of Liebenthal, Mendham, Leader and Prelate. He served on many Committees and Boards including Chair, Mendham Credit Union. Ed & Anne were known for their hospitality especially to the Parish Priests having them over for meals and socializing. The Ursuline Sisters of Prelate were special to them too. They were generous in transporting seniors to appointments and Church. Ed enjoyed delivering Meals on Wheels. Two of his most revered memberships were with the Leader-Mendham Knights of Columbus and the Leader Lions Club where he received special recognition for 53 years of service.
Over the years Ed & Anne enjoyed many social activities including curling, ball games, fishing and travelling to Germany with a local sports team. One hi-lite was being in the crowd at Empire Stadium when the Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup in 1966! He was a very devoted and generous husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Family was important to Ed and he had an excellent memory as to who was related to whom. He was fortunate to have so many living close by, including Richard (farming one mile down the road), Roy at Brooks and Frank at Medicine Hat. His children were also close by; Daryl and Eileen in Maple Creek, Ron and Brenda on the farm, and Dennis and Bev on the farm and Medicine Hat. There were many family celebrations with children, grandchildren

Kindersley & District Plains Museum holds AGM
The annual meeting of the Kindersley & District Plains Museum was held on November 9, 2021. Present were: Vaughn Bieberdorf (Treasurer), Hugh McLean (RM of Kindersley), Alfred Knutson, Clarence Janzen, Brad Wiebe, Greg Becker, Warren Schafer (Town of Kindersley), Jeff Graham (RM of Oakdale), Lionel Story (RM of Kindersley), Norm Wiggins, Gordon Dunn (Buildings & Grounds), Natalie Sullivan (RM of Milton), Anna Polsfut (Secretary/Town of Kindersley), Glen Sitter (Vice-Chairperson), Bill Warrington (Chairperson/RM of Antelope Park).
Chairperson, Bill called the Regular Meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
Minutes of the November 10, 2020, meeting were handed out and discussed. The AGM should have been on November 2, 2021, according to the minutes. June Nargang, President of the Senior’s Club, was present as a guest and presented a donation of $1000.00 as the Senior’s Club is dissolving. The Senior’s Club started in 1920/1930 and lasted until 2019. The first centre was an old school building that was brought into town. It
The new building was built by B-Line. was in the area where Lifetime Dental’s parking lot would be now. The Senior’s Club hopes to donate some items to the Museum for display.
Treasurer, Vaughn presented the financial statements. This year, the members are excited about the
Museum of Lights drive-thru event; some staples were bought for the lights committee to use.
It has been a successful year, and many capital projects have been completed. Power lines have been added underground in the backyard. Appreciation was extended to those who have been working hard painting equipment and to everyone for all their hard work throughout the year. It was mentioned that the Museum needs something to attract attention and generate people’s interest in coming to the Museum.
It’s been a bit of a slower year; not many events have been hosted. We had over 2000 visitors throughout the year We should consider charging a fee for admission rather than by donation for summer tourists who want to walk through the Museum.
Although the Museum was unable to display items at the mall due to changes, the Museum had over ten pieces of equipment and tractors in the Goose Festival parade this year.
The repairs to the sewer earlier this year and the electrical work were all donated by the companies
who were doing the work; $17,000.00 done on sewer was all donated. The $5000.00 of work done on the electrical was also all donated. Thanks to the donors. A donation was made through the town to us so they would be able to receive tax receipts.
Gordon presented the Building and Grounds report. The tractor we purchased has been very handy. There are a few buildings that need some repairs as well as the overhead door on the shop.
A small International tractor and compressor were donated for use. We haven’t received reports on the Versatile or the combine that are here on whether they have been donated or on-lend; investigation needed.
Hoses were run to the trees for watering this summer, which the girls who come to water were happy about. Kosha weed has been bad and hard to get rid of.
In New Business, a motion was made that the executive be the same as last year. Executive will continue to include: Bill Warrington – Chairperson, Glen Sitter – Vice-Chairperson, Anna Polsfut – Secretary, Vaughn Bieberdorf – Treasurer.
A suggestion was made to add another 25 feet to the main museum building, and new windows are needed in the Elliot Finley Shop. We may need to do some campaigning for funding to do some repairs.
Bill adjourned the Regular Meeting at 8:25 p.m.

Kindersley RCMP Offer Winter Driving Tips
With winter driving conditions potentially upon us the Kindersley RCMP would like to remind drivers of the following tips:
• Scrape all the ice off your windows before driving – if you can’t see, you can’t drive safely!
• Remove all snow from your vehicle, including from your headlights, taillights and roof.
• Slow down on slippery or snowy roads.
• Be gentle and smooth when you accelerate, brake or steer.
• Leave plenty of distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
• Using cruise control on icy or snowy roads can be dangerous! If you skid, your vehicle will accelerate and rapidly spin its wheels as it tries to maintain a constant speed.
• Before travelling, check the weather forecast for both your current location and destination. If travel can be delayed during storm warnings, do so.
• Be prepared for anything: consider stocking your vehicle with extra warm clothes, candles, matches, non-perishable snacks, a snow shovel, traction mats, booster cables and a tow rope or chain.
• If you become stranded on the highway, do not leave your vehicle! Turn on your vehicle periodically to warm up, but try to conserve fuel. Make sure your tailpipe remains clear of ice and snow, or carbon monoxide could potentially seep into your vehicle.
Between November 1st to November 7th, Kindersley RCMP responded to 21 calls for service*. These calls included, but were not limited to, 3 suspicious persons calls, 1 theft of motor vehicle and 1 uttering threats call.

No Strings Attached Available On Netflix
A victim of circumstance, this hilarious relationship comedy came out the exact same year as more popular, flashier Friends With Benefits.
Despite sporting an Oscar winner as a co-lead and an Oscar nominee and comedy legend as the director, No Strings Attached was no match for its edgier, Justin Timberlake-starring counterpart.
However, this comedy about two friends who try to keep their relationship physical-only – to their own detriment is a better film in many ways.
Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher are adorable and hilarious here, and it features a strong supporting cast of Kevin Kline, Cary Elwes, Greta Gerwig, Ludacis, Jake Johnson and Mindy Kaling,
The script is whip-smart, and I really think you’ll be surprised by how much you truly enjoy this one.
The Vault Available On Netflix
Mostly known for his television roles in The Good Doctor and Bates Motel, star Freddie Highmore is fabulous in this small film about a huge robbery.
It follows an engineering graduate who’s recruited to break into the Bank of Spain’s safe to get treasure for his employer.
The Vault doesn’t offer a huge amount of surprises, but it’s so interesting and intriguing that it doesn’t matter.
Highmore is joined by Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Sam Riley, and Game Of Thrones alum Liam Cunningham in this one, which is better than it has any right to be.
The set-pieces are gorgeous and the action is brisk. This one offers some thrills and excitement along with some wonderful performances. It won’t wow you, but it sure is worthwhile viewing if you’re looking for a little adventure.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin Available On Prime Video
This is the film that started the Judd Apatow craze. You don’t get Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and the gang without this gut-busting comedy.
Steve Carell is at his most-awkward as a nerdy big-box store employee who is pushed by his friends at work to lose his virginity.
At 40, many around him wonder how he never got it done, but they’re intent on helping him at all costs, without really wondering whether he wants it to be special or memorable.
Apatow – known for Knocked Up and Funny People – mixes the perfect amount of raunchy comedy and sweetness here, and it packs an emotional punch.
Carell is joined by Katherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Rogen, Leslie Mann, a scene-stealing Romany Malco, Elizabeth Banks and Jane Lynch.
Years later, even my father still quotes lines from this film. It’s pretty wild, and not for anyone under 18, but if you like adult entertainment this one is for you.
Everybody Loves Raymond Available On Netflix It honestly doesn’t get much funnier on network TV than this show.
It endured for nine years and won 15 Primetime Emmys because
it was one of the most relatable, awkward shows to air, and I absolutely adore it.
It follows the life and times of sports writer Ray Barone, and his relationship with his wife, family, and parents, who happen to live across the street.
The shows explores so many topics and its entire run made for must-watch television.
Ray Romano became a household name because of this one, and Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, and the late Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle made this one well worth the time investment.
The situational comedy was absolutely perfect, and I can’t wait to revisit this modern classic.
The Lodge Available On Prime Video
This is a messed-up, terrifying affair that will be uncomfortable to sit through.
You’ll be squirming in your seat as you watch this meditation on the blended family. It follows a future step-mom who becomes snowed in with her fiance’s two kids at a holiday cottage.
She struggles to connect with the children, who have a severe disdain for her, but some unprecedented events could bring them together – or tear them further apart – for the rest of time.
It’s a claustrophobic film that you won’t soon forget. Co-directors Severin Fiali and Veronika Franz infuse the film with intense visuals, amazing stylings, and some truly horrific scenes.
Riley Keough, Jaeden Martell and Lia McHugh run the show here, and their performances are a huge reason to watch. Enter The Lodge if you dare.

Job fair slated for February
JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
The Kindersley Chamber of Commerce is moving forward with its plans for a Great Trade & Job Fair in Kindersley in 2022. The date has been set for Wednesday, February 9, and the location has been confirmed as the Kindersley Centre shopping mall.
The Chamber’s plans to host a job fair in 2021 was not able to go ahead, but as the saying goes, “If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again,” and that’s exactly what Kevin Martin, the Chamber’s office manager is doing. “Everybody who signed up last year is going to go ahead. That’s a good thing,” he said, noting that twenty businesses had signed up in 2021.
Although the job fair is in the initial planning stages, Kevin envisions
a successful and productive day for businesses and individuals who are seeking jobs and careers.
“Come out and bring your resume and find a career!” Kevin said. He was pleased to discover the Apprenticeship Board has signed up for the job fair.
“Some businesses are struggling to find employees. Some businesses are in a difficult spot if even one employee quits,” he explained. He believes everyone will benefit from a job fair; businesses will get their name out there, and job seekers will discover employment opportunities.
“I really want this to be successful,” Kevin said. His goal is to have 50 businesses sign up, but he said there is room for more. “I’d like to feature home-based businesses
too; we’re trying to focus on everybody and are putting it out there for whoever wants to be a part of it. I want to see it full, I want to see it busy, and I want to see a lot of people working.”
He’s hoping high school students will check it out, including students from Kerrobert, Eston, Leader, Eatonia, Plenty, Rosetown and, of course Kindersley. The job fair will allow students to discover various career opportunities that they may not be aware of. It would also benefit anyone who is considering a career change, he noted.
“As a chamber, we’re here to help businesses be successful,” Kevin concluded. Kevin would love to hear from anyone who wants to participate in the Great Trade and Job Fair in February 2022.
Eston’s dissolved Wresting Club donated $1143.00 to the Eston Lions Club. The funds will be used locally. Lion Theresa made the donation on behalf of the Wrestling Club, accepted by Lion President Gwen.

New mural depicts local scenes on Eatonia rink
JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
EATONIA - Thanks to Dean and Fran Francis from Sagebrush Studios, the Eatonia rink now features a beautiful mural depicting scenes from the area. The community, along with Eatonia & District Recreation, sincerely appreciate their contribution.
The mural replaces the original one, which Dean did in 1997. “We volunteered to do this one,” Dean explained. “We researched the best colours for the hot sun so it will last longer.”
Dean Francis said he started the mural last year, however, a blizzard in November brought his efforts to an abrupt halt. “The one panel we did last year is looking good,” he said, happy with the results. “We got back at it in September of this year. We discovered
if it’s plus 20 out, it is very hot on the south wall, and paint dries too quickly. So we had to wait until it was 15 degrees or cooler. It was kind of challenging, but it went well, and we’re happy we got it done.”
The project took about three weeks to complete, but a lot of time was spent setting up and driving back and forth while the daylight hours became increasingly shorter. “We chose a variety of images that depict the Eatonia region, the beauty of back roads, skies and fields. That’s the background of this area. We wanted it to be colourful and keep it interesting, bright and cheerful,” Dean said.
The images he chose had already been painted on canvas. “We paint directly on the cinder blocks, which is not the nicest surface to work on; it’s challenging,” Dean said. “Acrylic paint is also challenging because
it dries a lot darker. That’s the toughest adjustment because I don’t paint with acrylics. But it worked.”
Dean said they used ladders instead of scaffolding, since ladders are more mobile. “So it was a lot of getting up and down the ladder,” he noted.
The weather also cooperated, with the occasional odd shower causing delays. Other delays were more enjoyable. “Pretty much every day we were there, we saw someone we hadn’t seen for a long time and had some really long visits. It was kind of nice to see people,” Dean said, obviously enjoying the occasional break and visit.
“The community has been incredibly supportive over the years, and we just wanted to do something in return,” Dean concluded.
