Question: What’s the biggest problem with political jokes?
Answer: Too many of them get elected.
Yes, we’re in the midst of an election, whether we like it or not, and everyday citizens are wondering if they’ll win when it’s all said and done. The last time a snap election was called was in 2008 by PM Harper. In his 2015
OPINION
CHECK IT OUT with Joan Janzen
Will Canadians win in this election?
biography of Harper, John Ibbitson wrote, “His decision to force the election, compounded by his paralysis in the face of an accumulating economic catastrophe, had cost him a majority government.”
It would be safe to say the economic catastrophe of 2008 couldn’t compare to the economic catastrophe of 2021, where we see a national debt of $1.06 trillion. The present government has borrowed
more in one year than the Government of Canada used to spend in its entire budget. Consequently, every man, woman and child in the country has roughly $57,000 of combined national and provincial debt. Although our PM has been emphasizing the safety of our children, he has neglected to account for their inherited national debt.
Nevertheless all kinds of promises are made
during an election, causing the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to remind Canadians to ask “how are you (meaning we) going to pay for it?”
Many Canadians are unsure about what name they should mark on their ballot. Doug Sharpe, President of Canada Family Action, said he is often asked what happens if you like your local candidate, but are uneasy about the party or party leader? He suggested ensuring your local candidate represents your views and values, and contact him or her to make sure they commit to standing up for those issues.
Franco said this is a pocket book issue. “After politicians are done soaking the rich, the huge concern for everyday Canadians is where are they going to look for more money next? If these politicians don’t actually save some money, reign in the deficit spending, it’s going to be everyday Canadians who end up taking up that tab through higher taxes.”
According to MP Pierre Pollievre the Liberals have bounced around the idea of a Home Equity Tax. If your taxable gain is more than $222,420 on the sale of your principal residence, you could be taxed at 53.50 percent.
Sharpe advised voters to go to eDayChoice.ca and check out the Legislative Summaries. This is where you can find out if your representative is supporting your values and view the past voting record of your MP.
Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of Canadian Taxpayers Federation says no party seems to have a plan to balance the budget. Some Canadians may not care about balancing the budget, but
Columnist, Cory Morgan made a personal observation saying, “Standing up for individual rights, property rights and small government simply isn’t considered to be a winning strategy anymore.” Many Canadians are finding it increasingly necessary to take a stand for their values.
A quote stated, “If you live cautiously everyone will call you wise, but you won’t move mountains,” although the orig-
inal source of the quote is unknown. People who made an impact throughout history needed to be courageous, and it appears no matter what the election results will be, the future holds a need for everyday citizens to courageously stand up for their individual rights and property rights. Canadians need to decide if they’re advocating for less government control or more government control. However if no one advocates for less government control, more government control will be the inevitable alternative without any advocacy needed. You can contact me at joanjanzen@yahoo.com
Oldies on the Elevator
By Madonna Hamel • madonnahamel@hotmail.com
The first time I beheld the Val Marie elevator I was filled with a hushed respect, as if I were standing before a basilica, or a monument to a lost era, which in a way, I was. It’s become cliché to refer to grain elevators as the cathedrals of the prairie, but when I saw my first one from an approaching train, it reminded me of a giant sentry, standing solid, and impenetrable, alone on the horizon. I felt the kind of awe reserved for gothic spires pointing heavenward, or for breaching whales rising from the sea.
I was in my twenties and was on one of my first of many cross-country train trips. The sun was setting and my heart leapt as it became clear we would pass right under the sleeping, paint-peeled beast. (I didn’t understand back then that elevators were built along tracks for a reason.) I ran to the front of the train and the observation car and pointed my camera through the glass roof and shot a roll of film as we passed under the leviathan. I kept shooting as the lone elevator receded down the line, a dark speck in the fading light.
What struck me about the Val Marie elevator was its fresh coat of white paint. A surface so gleaming and clean begs painting, I thought.( I feel the same way about garage doors that seem to have become the dominating architectural feature of contemporary homes. Walking in the suburbs past white garage door after white garage door feels like walking through an art gallery with blank canvases covering the wall.)
That first evening in Val Marie, more than twenty years ago, I recalled how in Quebec City during the summer we’d walk the hundred odd steps into the ancient quartier of the old city and watch movies projected on the white plaster backs of the old stone buildings. As I stood before the Val Marie elevator I exclaimed: “You could project a mov-
AsCanadians, we’ve always prided ourselves on our willingness to come together and help each other.
Perhaps it has something to do with our sparse population and cold climate where getting along with others has been a necessity for survival.
Few places in his country exemplify this as much as rural Saskatchewan where the winters are a little longer and colder and the distances are a little greater.
Your neighbours have meant everything to you. Their beliefs and politics were always secondary.
But our world clearly has changed in the past few decades.
More people have moved from the farms to cities, meaning that contact with others is now less through the local hockey or curling rink and more through the Internet.
Given this choice, people have been more inclined to seek out those with similar views,
ie on that!” I understood that painting a mural or a tromp l’oeil landscape on one’s garage door or a stately grain elevator might be too much of a permanent commitment, but what about using them as outdoor movie screens?
It wasn’t until the imposed isolation of Covid was getting too much for even seasoned loners like ourselves that I brought up the idea of movie projection to the Elevator Restoration Committee.
“I could talk to the park about borrowing their projector and speakers and we could do it as a fundraiser.” Which is how Grasslands’ employee Shelly Larson and I found ourselves standing at dusk before a blank elevator wall, waiting impatiently for darkness to fall and an image to appear. “Maybe this is nuts,” I feared.” The image could be too blurry to make out, or the sky too bright.” But eventually, as the late summer sunset faded and folks began to arrive with chairs and thermoses, the faces of Ma and Pa Joad began to take shape and Oldies on the Elevator was born.
Our first film, Grapes of Wrath, is based on John Steinbeck’s novel about the lives of Okies and Arkies who left or were forced off their farms due to
the double whammy of the depression and the dustbowl. The highway they drove, I tell the audience sitting in lawn chairs and on tailgates, was Route 66, otherwise known as The Mother Road – which was also Steinbeck’s original title for his novel. The film still stands as a tribute to hard-working folks who value family and land above all else. As the final credits rolled, some folks still humming along to the theme music of Red River Valley as the Joad family jalopy lumbered westward through the night, a full moon rose behind the elevator.
We’ve shown five films so far, and the magic never wears off. (And just so no one gets in a huff about copyright infringements, we don’t charge for the movie. We charge for the popcorn. That is, you are welcome to make a donation. Thanks to the Palais Royale hall committee, we have the use of a theatre popcorn popper. Sometimes we even offer hot chocolate.) Our second film was Casablanca. Some of us could mouth the lines along with the actors, lines like: “Play it Sam!” and “Here’s Looking at you kid!” and “Round up the usual suspects,” as the younger folks in the crowd, watching the movie
for the first time, laughed to discover their source.
Movies like Shane and High Noon were shoe-ins for the elevator. I’d never seen them before and I can’t imagine how I missed them. After discovering Gary Cooper, whose portrayal of a retired 50-year-old sheriff abandoned by his town and left to fend for himself was so pitch perfect and understated and human, I watched every Gary Cooper movie I could get my hands on. Carl Foreman, the screenwriter for the movie was blacklisted for suspected Communist sympathies, I told the audience. So he decided to portray his experience through Cooper. He earned an Oscar nomination for his effort.
Last Saturday was our last film for he season, To Kill A Mockingbird. We prefaced it with the documentary Lift, Spur by Kirsten Catherwood, a friend of the village and a folklorist who a few years ago, helped the community write a book on the history of elevator. To Kill A Mockingbird was written the same year Ruby Bridges, a 6-year old girl, needed five grown men marshals to escort her to a school whose students, parents and teachers did not want her, because she was black. A movie on racism shouldn’t be giving most of the lines to white folk, contemporary critics state. But for the times, what came out of the mouths of white folk was an unprecedented demand for awareness, atonement and accountability.
Oldies on the Elevator isn’t just about the magic of watching the elevator come to life with old movies while bats swoop by and horses neigh in the background. It’s the magic of seeing faces light up with smiles as the show begins, of being together and sharing the experience, of laughing and catching up with each other after the movie while as fold our lawn chairs and marvel at the Milky Way.
Uncivil election behaviour a sad sign
including political views … even if they are living far away or in other countries.
This advancement has big benefits. Having better roads and better vehicles to drive on them is a good a thing … even if it has meant less dependence on your neighbour to pick up something for you or pull you out of a snow bank.
And while the conversion of rural life from subsistent farming to large-scale agriculture production has clearly taken its toll on Saskatchewan’s rural population, it’s not a bad thing to see anyone in this country is better off.
With the ability to market product and share information over the Internet, the farming community has simply become a different kind of community.
But at least politically speaking, all this has presented new challenges in our country.
The farming community is just one such community spawned by the Internet. People in towns and cities are also
MURRAY MANDRYK Political Columnist
part of their own online communities.
Not only does this isolate them from other communities like today’s agriculture community so critical to this province but it’s also meant losing touch with their own neighbours as well.
Again, there is nothing inherently wrong with seeking out those that most share your views and interests.
But there is something
wrong and downright dangerous about becoming so immersed and entrenched in your own world that you can only relate to the others that happen to share your view and begin to thing everyone else is the enemy.
As Canadians we should still care about our neighbours.
This all takes us to the current federal election and what’s been lost … fundamental respect and decency.
At a recent campaign stop in Saskatoon, People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier was whacked on the head with a raw egg. Meanwhile, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has been harangued at most ever campaign stop by organized protest crowds including one recent on which small rocks were thrown at him.
Whatever you think of Maxime Bernier or Justin Trudeau isn’t the issue. We are all clearly entitled to our views. We have the right to express them in
a civil way. And we have that ultimate right to vote as we so choose.
But if you think this specific criminal behaviour is anyway acceptable, healthy or even justified, you may be part of the problem.
What drives people to such stupidity remains purely speculative, but it’s hard not think it’s at least partly a result of some caught in their own social medial bubble where rhetoric drives individuals towards the irrational and fundamental un-Canadian behaviour.
Images of last summer’s violent protests in the U.S. or the Capitol Hill riot in January may be affecting what’s happening now in our own politics.
If so, it’s wrong. It’s not who we are.
We will always have different views in this country. But, as Canadians, we should always have respect and decency.
Some of what we are seeing this election suggests this has been lost.

Toy Run for the West Central Crisis Centre was
JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com
The sun was shining down on the bikers who gathered in Kindersley on Saturday, September 4th. Forty-nine bikers from the Crude Crew Motorcycle Club and their passengers not only enjoyed a ride but brought donations of toys for the West Central Crisis Centre. The riders ranged in age from young to senior status.
Local rider Brian Johnson said the event was successful due to the huge amount of community support. Personnel from the Town of Kindersley helped out and donated toys, and many local businesses contributed monetary donations to the cause.
The riders stopped at local communities, including Eatonia, Alsask and Marengo, where more donations were collected. At the end of their tour, they all got together at Kindersley to enjoy a meal outdoors, thanks to the generosity of the folks at Panago Pizza in Kindersley.
Thanks to the support of people in Kindersley and area, a trailer was filled with a wide assortment of toys, including five bicycles. Johnson and all the Crude Crew Motorcycle Club riders appreciate everyone who helped make this event possible.
a success!

Saskatchewan athlete is dubbed the Canadian Rocket!
JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com
A Saskatchewan boy is actively pursuing an athletic career in rugby. Lucas Scheck grew up on his parent’s family farm near Cactus Lake, Sask., which is a hamlet south of Macklin, and about 8 kilometres from the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. His mom Gerri and dad Sheldon Scheck have been their son’s greatest fans.
His extended family also cheers him on. His gramma proudly shared a video of her grandson with one of Scheck’s neighbours. The footage captured Lucas playing for The North American Lions at Rugbytown 7’s in Denver, Colorado, on August 20, 2021. The announcer Dallen Stanford aptly described Lucas saying, “It’s the Canadian Rocket! The Canadian Rocket gets in! Lucas Scheck! How old is he? He’s 18! He can’t even drink in this country. He was fast around the outside! I don’t know what he does on the farm; he must run around a few goats and donkeys cause he’s incredibly fast! Great individual effort; that was the length of the field.”
I was able to chat with Lucas before he left for Victoria, B.C., to attend university. He was home on the family farm; how-
ever, he wasn’t chasing goats and donkeys; he was running the swather.
Lucas said he’ll be trying out for the national team once he arrives at Victoria. “I’m hopeful that if I work hard enough, I’ll get there,” he said. “But you never know until you get there. I just want to play rugby. I like it a lot.”
His dad is confident Lucas will make the team.
“For him, it’s not a matter of if he makes it; it’s when. If it’s not this year, it will be next year. He’s had some good coaching,” his dad said.
The 18-year-old discovered his love of the sport a few years ago while attending Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox, Sask. where he played hockey. Notre Dame is known internationally for developing some of the highest calibre student-athletes.
“At school, I also played football. I like playing all sports. At school, I played eight sports,” Lucas explained. In the spring, he played rugby for two years and realized he not only loved it but was good at it.
“His most notable tournament was two years ago in March. The Sask. team won a Canadian tournament, the first time ever; they won the whole tournament! That
was notable for Saskatchewan,” Sheldon noted.
Last year Lucas changed schools. “I attended a boarding school in Victoria, B.C. last year. To play rugby, you have to be out west in B.C.” Lucas explained. And Lucas is willing to play any and every position. “I’ll play whatever position I get. I’m not too picky. I think I could handle all positions if I was put in a team. You do have set positions, but they all get mixed up. Everybody has to help the guy next to you.”
Lucas graduated from Grade 12 from St. Michael’s University School in Victoria, B.C., a private boarding school. On September 6, he headed to the University of Victoria and his team, the North American Lions.
If he is fortunate enough to be accepted on the national team, he will be playing in tournaments worldwide. His dad said there are sixteen locations, including Singapore, Portugal, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Fiji.
If Lucas makes the team, he realizes he will have to take fewer classes; he is currently taking Agri-Business at the university. “I might have to take less classes and take classes online because it will be tough to manage both. They would under-
stand where I’m coming from. As long as I do the work eventually,” he explained.
Whether Lucas makes the national team this year or in the future, his parents anticipate the moment. “It’s exciting for him and exciting for us to follow him around,” his dad said. “We’ve never been outside of North America, so it will be interesting to watch him in all these other countries.” It will be interesting for all his Saskatchewan fans to watch him as well. We are cheering you on, Lucas. Hope you have another great year!

Klippers prep for neutral site game against Flin Flon
Fresh out of training camp, Head Coach Ken Plaquin sees a ton of potential in this year’s group.
With a roster comprised mostly of the same players from the 20202021 cancelled tilt, he sees skills haven’t dropped off since COVID-19.
“We’re really just hoping this is nothing like last year. We have a great group and they’re ready to play,” said Plaquin. “It’ll be fun to be able to travel and be as normal as possible this year.”
The team is set to head to Prince Albert, Alta. On Sunday, September 12 for a special, neutral-site game against the Flin
Flon Bombers.
“When we were scheduling the pre-season, we realized it was going to be difficult. We ourselves would love to have one or two more pre-season games,” he said.
“Flin Flon was in the same boat, and their coach Mike Reagan reached out. It’s halfway between Kindersley and Flin Flon, and presented a great opportunity.”
The Bombers opened their main training camp last weekend, and their pre-season began with a loss against La Ronge.
Meanwhile, the Klippers were felled by the Battleford North Stars 4-2. Goals were scored by Matthew Ripplinger and Vaughn Strutt.
Sunday’s game will be a unique opportunity for Flin Flon and Kindersley.
“We just certainly don’t go up against them as much as we do Battleford, Humboldt, or others. It’s a good chance to get that extra game,” said Plaquin.
“Hopefully we can spark something between the teams before the showcase in early October.”
The teams will meet three times by mid-October, meaning there’s plenty of room for a rivalry to form.
“I don’t know much about their lineup, and we didn’t see anyone play last year. But Coach Reagan always has teams that play hard and finish
checks,” said Plaquin.
“He is a good recruiter, and I don’t expect anything less than to see a good team all-round.”
Reagan himself has been behind the bench for 15 years, and took over coaching duties after the 2006-2007 season. He has a 410-269-67 record over 14 seasons with them, and they’ve been to the SJHL Canalta Cup Final Twice.
He played for the team for four seasons, and recruited Plaquin’s own son years back to play.
“I know Mike well through hockey. He knows this league and he’s a competitor,” said Plaquin.
Plaquin says his team looked good in training camp, and he’s excited for the coming year.
“We were on track for a good start last year, and we’d like to follow up and start where we left off,” he said.
Assistant Coach Mitch Topinka is on the same page as Plaquin.
“I really like the speed of this group, and we were hoping for that going into camp. They have good intensity and there’s a decent size to the group. The goaltending is great and the experience we have back helps,” he said.
“We want this team to be fast and in-your-face. We want them to be hard to play against, and I think they’ll be more than up for it.”

Quarterbacks once again in the spotlight
Quarterbacks
in the National FootballLeague dream about reaching a Super Bowl one day, maybe even winning it. Tom Brady has been to 10 of them, and seven times he’s been a winner. NFL pre-season oddsmakers say the 44-year-old Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the second most likely Super Bowl winner as this new season gets under way, behind only the Kansas City Chiefs.
But enough about Brady. There are many more interesting quarterback situations happening around the NFL, including another old goat and a quarterback room full of young ‘uns with a variety of upside levels.
Here are seven QBs to watch, and why:
Aaron Rodgers represents the ‘old goat’ reference, even though he’s seven years Brady’s junior. Generally regarded among the top three QBs in the league, Rodgers is unhappy in Green Bay and wants a new home. So, even though he’s under contract through 2023, Rodgers and management came up with a plan: Play this season with the Packers and then he’ll be given his freedom to sign
elsewhere next year. Watch for him to wind up in Denver.
Trevor Lawrence is the youngest, newest and, the experts say, the best young QB this year. The Clemson grad was the No. 1 pick in the draft, Jacksonville Jaguars, who need a lot more than a great quarterback to fix what ails them. However, Lawrence will be the focus of attention around the league, and not only because of his exceedingly long hair.
Justin Herbert was last year’s rookie quarterback breakout star and the Los Angeles Chargers are hoping his brilliance continues. He’s a big man, 6-foot-6 and 237 pounds who threw for 4,300 yards last year. He could become one of the greats.
Chicago Bears hope they have their QB of the future in Justin Fields, who will start the season behind veteran Andy Dalton. It used to be a regular occurrence for a rookie to spend a year or two learning the ropes behind a veteran and it appears that’s what the Bears have planned for Fields, late of Ohio State.
Mac Jones was not as heralded a draft prospect as Lawrence or Fields, but he was snapped
up by the New England Patriots late in the first round and, when veteran Cam Newton was released, is the first-game starter for Bill Belichick and the Patriots. New England is looking for its next Tom Brady and they’re hoping Jones, the former Alabama QB, is the man for the job.
Finally, Matthew Stafford goes from a perennially bad team (the Lions) to a contender (the Rams) and he might just light it up in the new surroundings. And can Joe Burrow, the No. 1 draft selection one year ago, rebound from knee surgery to rekindle playoff hopes in Cincinnati?

Cattle producers find create ways to meet feed supply
JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com
Due to the drought experienced by producers, many cattle producers are reducing the size of their herds. According to Will Lowe, president of the Cattle Feeders Association, some people are not only downsizing but are getting out of cattle production altogether.
“Producers need to match the size of their herd with the amount of feed they have,” Lowe said.
Because of the lack of rain, many ranchers in southwestern Saskatchewan and neighbouring ranchers in Alberta need to buy feed, which unfortunately has become scarce. Consequently, there really isn’t hay to be found, or it ranges in price from $200 to $300 per tonne.
Producers have seen feed double in price compared to last year, plus there’s the additional cost of transporting the feed combined with rising fuel costs. However, the feed situation seems to have settled down as most cattlemen have found creative ways of ensuring an adequate supply of feed by making deals with crop producers and crop insurance, cutting ditches, or bailing straw and sloughs. Cattle producers also plan by carrying over some feed and reserving pastures for a season or two.
According to a press release, the province of Saskatchewan also introduced changes to the Crop Insurance Program to divert low-yielding crops to feed use, doubling its low-yield appraised threshold, so farmers can put larger amounts of damaged crops to alternative uses such as silage, bailing or grazing. Will Lowe from the Cattle Feeders Association thought this proved to be of more help to mixed farming operations than cow/calf producers.
In mid-August, Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced support for drought-affected cattle producers under the AgriRecovery program. The program will provide a per head payment to help maintain breeding stock and help producers with other costs such as accessing feed and water. The program will be delivered by the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC). The province plans to issue an initial $100 per breeding female to offset high feed and water costs.
Livestock eligible for the program includes Canadian-owned female beef and dairy cattle, bison, elk, sheep or goats that are bred or intended to be bred. According to a government news release, the number of open replacement females that can be considered eligible livestock is fifteen percent of the total number of bred females
Because of lack of spring runoff and little rainfall, Saskatchewan previously announced temporary increases in the maximum rebates for livestock producers under the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program for dugouts, wells and pipelines for agricultural use.
The provincial government began accepting applications from producers for the AgriRecovery program on September 1. Will Lowe noted that the program had already received quite a few applications during the first few days the program rolled out. The deadline to submit 2020 program forms is September 30, 2021.

Car show returns to Wilkie
After taking a one year hiatus, Wilkie will once again have a car show, this time called the Wilkie Show n Shine.
Co-organizer Phil Heilman explained the reasoning behind it.
“It was a great thing to happen in Wilkie and something that was sorely missed last year. With restrictions lifting in July, it was an easy decision to get the ball rolling again”.
Co-organizers Heilman and Heather Duchscher, who helped organize other car shows in Wilkie from 2017-2019, chose Saturday, September 18th as the date. They said it was based on essentially one thing; how early this year’s harvest is.
“We want to bring people in and experience Wilkie as a whole, but it is tough when a large part of those people are sitting in a farm implement” said Heilman.
The event will be held at the OA Leather/Innovation Credit Union parking lot, located downtown on 2nd Avenue West, from 11am-4pm. There is a $5 entry fee per vehicle. No food will be
available on site, only refreshments. There will be a 50/50 happening between 10am and 2:30pm, which is guaranteed at $300 thanks to Country Ford, as well as a draw for car registrants only. There will also be entertainment from Jon Sloan and friends from 11am-12pm and Dan Wilgenbusch from 2-3pm. All draws will be completed at 3pm, including awards for car owners.
Any proceeds from the event will be split between the Wilkie & District Museum and the Wilkie Food Bank.
To capitalize on the added activity, it was just recently announced that the STARS Pegasus Project Roadshow will be stopping in Wilkie at the Country Ford parking lot on the same day, which is a reschedule from August 5th.
Country Ford is sponsoring a BBQ which will run from 11am to 1pm. The Wilkie Fire Department will be on hand cooking burgers, with all proceeds going towards STARS. For more info on the project and times, visit pegasusproject.ca.

Straight Outta Compton
Available On Netflix
EMERGENCY SERVICE * Main Street, Elrose, SK • 306-378-2252 www.hoovesnpaws.ca
EATONIA AGENCIES LTD.
BY JORDAN PARKER https://parkerandpictures.wordpress.com/
Possibly one of the most surprising films of the last decade, Straight Outta Compton is a wellshot, absolutely stunning affair.
Following rap group NWA’s rise into the music & cultural zeitgeist, it’s a tale of emerging talent and difficulties on the hard streets of L.A.’s Compton.
The music is incredible, and the seamless character portrayals and costuming are so well-done.
It was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 2016 Oscars, and the film will stay with you.
O’Shea Jackson Jr. Plays his real-life father Ice Cube, and Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Aldis Hodge and Paul Giamatti round this one out.
It’s a music biopic done right, and you’ll be so happy you checked this one out.
Goodfellas
Available On Netflix
This is point blank one of the best films to ever be released, and the best mob film next to The Godfather and its sequel.
Arguably famed director Martin Scorsese’s best film in a storied career, Goodfellas is mafia done properly, at its grisly, seedy best.
Based on real-life mobster Nicholas Pileggi’s tell-all book, this follows character Henry Hill’s exploits with the mob in an Italian-American crime syndicate.
Frankly, Joe Pesci gives a career performance as hot-head enforced Tommy, and won an Oscar for his efforts.
Meanwhile, Robert De Niro, Lorraine Bracco, and Ray Liotta all give intense turns.
It’s the type of gonzo, all-out film Scorsese has become known for, and the characters literally come to life right off the page.
It’s a larger-than-life film, and one that merits all the praise that’s been lauded on it for 30+ years.
When Harry Met Sally
Available On Prime Video
This is the absolute best romantic-comedy ever made, and I will change anyone who thinks otherwise to a ferocious debate.
Writer-director Rob Reiner is one of my favourite directors of all time – despite some obvious lapses
in cinematic judgement – and I just can’t stop going back to this one.
It all centres on a single, simple premise: Men and women can never be friends.
Sound crazy? Well, when Harry meets Sally through a mutual friend, he tells her sex will always get in the way. Either the man wants the woman, or the woman wants the man.
No matter what happens, feelings or urges will always stop the opposite sex from having a completely platonic union.
So it’s hilarious when the unlikely pairing of straight-laced, by-the-book Sally becomes decades-long friends with Harry, a morose, obsessive and sarcastic human being.
In their own ways, these characters are both grating to some degree, and yet they adore each other – and we in turn love them – warts and all.
But despite being adamant about their relationship, everyone around them thinks they should be together.
The one-liners, the tom-foolery, and the perfect performances from Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher make this a perfect genre film.
I turn to it every time I need to have my faith restored in relationships, and by God, it works. It’s frankly one of my favourite films ever, and I’ve seen it over 100 times.
Meet The Parents
Available On Netflix
When I think of awkward comedy, it’s always this movie that comes to mind.
It follows the hapless, affable Greg Focker, a man fully in love and committed to Pam. When he
gets ready to ask her to propose, he decides to meet her parents before he does the deed.
But there’s one little problem –Her father is an absolute roadblock who is adamant Greg is not right for his daughter.
The pairing of Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro seems unlikely, and yet they’re absolutely hilarious together as the suitor and the begrudging father.
They absolutely make the movie, and to see the two together is pure comedy gold.
It’s an awkward affair that can be totally, entirely difficult to watch, but Meet The Parents is something a whole lot of us can relate to.
Green Room
Available On Prime Video
One of young Anton Yelchin’s final films happens to be one of his best, and Green Room is a horror-thriller at the peak of the genre.
Writer-director Jeremy Saulnier gives us a spellbinding, intense little indie with the screen presence of a big-budget picture.
It’s about a punk rock group who become trapped in a bar they’re playing at after they witness a murder by neo-Nazis. Yelchin, Imogen Poots and the other young stars here are certainly fantastic, and they make this one much better than your average horror flick.
But it’s Patrick Stewart in an icycold, uncharacteristic role as our terrible villain who really makes this one.
If you’re a fan of scary, gory thrillers, this one will definitely be up your alley.
Mike & Arlene Hankewich
CHURCHILL - It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather, brother-in law, Everett Churchill on August 28th, 2021. Everett was born to Alvin and Anne Churchill on June 14th, 1930 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
He grew up on the farm near Elstow, Sask. He attended Normal School in Saskatoon. His first teaching job was at Imperial Sask. After four years he moved to Kindersley where he taught at Elizabeth School. It was there that he met the love of his love. He and Isobel were married in 1958. He was a devoted father to Dean, Kevin, Trevor, and Shannon.
He attended Saint Olaf Lutheran Church and served as envelope secretary and enjoyed his involvement with the Men’s Chorus, bible studies and fellowship with church friends.
He was passionate about sports especially the Blue Jays. He played a lot of baseball in his youth and refereed hockey.
He attended U of S attaining his Bed + BA before he taught for 40 years plus one sabbatical year in
Saskatoon. He was well respected for his years as principal at Elizabeth School. He was chairmen of the salary negotiating which imposed a lot of travelling.
He and mom loved going to the Gospel Jamboree at Sandy Creek. He loved travelling with the Walrath Group- a retired minister and his wife. One of the last tours was to Hawaii where he was hospitalized and given Hawaiian blood and a first-class trip home.
In 1990 he was ready to hand over the switch from weekly school routine to retirement. During that time, he enjoyed bowling and he served on the executive of the retired teachers association.
In 2016 they sold their home and moved to Caleb Village where he received excellent care and where he was ultimately called home. He will be sadly missed.

The Kinsmen Park in Kindersley is in the process of undergoing a complete facelift in the near future. The newly constructed shack was a welcome addition to the park last year, but there’s more improvements coming up soon for the park located on 5th Street Crescent. The initial work began with the removal of the playground ground equipment.
According to Anna Polsfut, Communications Coordinator for the Town of Kindersley, the work going on in Kinsmen Park includes the addition of new playground equipment, an irrigation system and preparations for grass seed. |
