Annual art auction to be held for Child Care Services Assiniboia Family and Child Care Services will host their annual art auction/ art celebration in partnership with Shurniak Gallery on Sunday, October 28 at 1:30 p.m.

The Assiniboia Family and Child Care Services invites local residents to the event. The event is open to the general public, as their presence will create an added interest outside of their families and will develop new connections for the children and their families.

Should businesses or organizations want to contribute at a different level, they accept donations for the silent auction as well as reserved bids on art pieces displayed throughout the week of Tuesday to Sunday, October 23 to 28. This event raises approximately $3,000 that is applied toward special program needs. It assists the Assiniboia Family and Child Care Services in keeping fees down for families as well. This event has raised the profile of quality childcare in the community, which continues to be an important factor for the success of children in working families. Parents with quality care report to be better employees, directly benefitting employers.

Assiniboia Family and Child Care Services has also donated pieces of art to the Festival of Trees and Firemen’s Ball, raising $350 per piece on average. The Assiniboia Family and Child Care Services place a lot of educational value in the art process. Being a charitable organization, they can issue tax receipts.

The Assiniboia Family and Child Care Services is currently searching for an auctioneer (or someone with interest or skills in this area). Please call the Assiniboia Family and Child Care Services to volunteer. For more information, feel free to call the director, Michele Vallieres. She’ll be happy to answer any questions.

Jesse Searcy urged two children to join hands, enabling them to receive a travelling shock emitted from the student touching the Van der Graaff electrostatic generator. This was during Saskatchewan Science Centre visit at the Rockglen Station, where they showed Grade 3 and 4 students their shocking presentation, and the children learned about electrostatic charges, parallel circuits and many other mysteries of electricity. Jesse Searcy and Jean-Paul Belanger were giving presentations on additional subjects in science to other age groups inside the station on October 4 as part of the Saskatchewan Science Photo by Dan Archer Centre’s outreach program to schools.

Grain drying placing demands on propane supply The unseasonably wet harvest is causing record-high demands for propane to use in grain drying and delays in service from propane suppliers such as Co-op.

“The issue is not that there is a shortage of propane, but rather the propane demand has risen so drastically for grain drying that the whole industry and system is not able to handle the demand,” said Keith Morin, Federated Coop Ltd., director of propane. “We have been so busy it has been impossible to keep up, but our drivers are working as many hours as regulations allow to help the situation.”

Morin stated that semi drivers are lining up for four to six hours at gas plants and terminals to fill up before they can make deliveries to our Co-op bulk storage tanks.

“We have moved delivery trucks around from branches and hired more drivers, but we can’t keep pace with all of the orders coming in.”

To give a sense for the demand, Morin noted that at Co-op’s Melfort propane branch in September, propane sales for grain drying were more than two and a half times higher than any of the past 10 years for the same month.

Although Melfort is currently the busiest area for Coop propane sales, Morin said there are also high demands in Saskatoon, Yorkton and Meadow Lake branches in Saskatchewan. In Alberta, the Edmonton and Grasslands branches are also busy, while in Manitoba the Brandon, Winnipeg and Carman branches are extended as they supply propane for corn drying.

“We’re doing everything we can to serve our customers, but we realize they are frustrated with the situation,” said Morin. “We’ll continue to do our best to help out our farm customers. We know this is already a tough harvest for many of them.”

Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), based in Saskatoon, is the 58th largest company in Canada and the largest non-financial co-operative in Canada. FCL is a unique multi-billion dollar wholesaling, manufacturing, marketing and administrative co-operative owned by more than 170 autonomous retail co-operatives across Western Canada. Together FCL and those local retail co-operatives form the Co-operative Retailing System (CRS).

The CRS serves our members and communities with products and services that help build, feed and fuel individuals and communities from Vancouver Island to northwestern Ontario. Our total workforce of 25,000 employees serve 1.9 million active individual members and many more non-member customers at 1,500 retail locations in more than 580 communities. More information is available at www.fcl.crs.

Very little harvest progress was made Very little harvest progress was made this week thanks to frequent moisture, according to the weekly crop report from September 25 to October 1.

Ninety per cent of the crop is now combined in the region, up from 88 per cent last week and ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average of 85 per cent for this time of year. Many producers were unable to combine for a number of weeks; most crops are coming off very tough and are being placed into aeration and drying bins. Warm, dry and windy days will be needed in order to get the rest of the crop off. Small amounts of rain were received throughout the week, with many areas reporting snow.

Topsoil moisture conditions continue to improve in the region with the recent moisture. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 54 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 11 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 44 per cent adequate, 43 percent short and 13 per cent very short. Yield estimates at this time remain about average overall, although they vary greatly across the region.

Many crops have yielded much less than expected.

Spring wheat grades at this time are being reported as 69 per cent 1 CW, 22 per cent 2 CW, six per cent 3 CW and six per cent CW Feed. Most crop damage this past week was due to lodging from snow and rain; downgrading is expected at the elevator as some crops are bleached or have sprouted. Producers are busy trying to combine, baling straw, hauling bales, moving cattle and drying grain.

Paintings to be displayed at the Shurniak Art Gallery

By Dan Archer The Shurniak is featuring another outstanding Canadian artist at their gallery this October. Dawn Banning – a painter inspired by nature – paints in a loose, flowing style, using blurred or dabbed strokes of acrylic or oil to craft dream-like views in understated colours.

Patrons visiting the Shurniak to study Dawn’s efforts might be reminded of the post-impressionistic scenes produced by Tom Thomson of the Group of Seven.

Banning said her approach to art could be labelled as post-impressionistic like Thomson’s, but the painter is expressing this style without deliberate intention.

Banning’s art praises the Canadian outdoors – there’s no dark urbanity or irony depicted on her canvases.

The scenes in Banning’s paintings are smooth, wistful and reflective. She paints landscapes from all the regions she’s visited or lived in, including Saskatchewan, the Yukon, British Columbia and Ontario.

Nature is Banning’s muse.

Landscapes, trees, lakes and forests inspire her to create. She spent much of her youth in the outdoors, as her father was employed as a park conservation officer in Saskatchewan’s provincial parks, so Banning’s work obviously reflects a woodsy upbringing.

During her introductory speech for the gallery patrons, Banning’s father pipedup, saying, “She always had a pencil or a crayon in her hand as a child.”

Aside from being an accomplished painter, Banning is an athlete. She has participated in marathon runs, she’s an avid cyclist and an Ironman participant. Banning has also chosen to assist various charities. For example, Banning is donating the proceeds of a picture she did of a horse towards the Humboldt Broncos – this artwork is currently kept inside a glass cabinet at the gallery. Homecoming by Dawn Banning runs at the Shurniak from October 3 to December 2.

Precious Metals Recycling Roadshow coming to Assiniboia.

TC Precious Metals will be in Assiniboia. making its way through Western Canada. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Assiniboia Museum between 10am and 5pm each day. No appointment is required. Terry Burrill is a precious metals buyer and President of TC Precious Metals headquartered in Airdrie, Alberta, and takes this show out to western Canada.

“TC Precious Metals has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” says Burrill. “This allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. TC Precious Metals purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong.

TC Precious Metals analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic (collectable) value are set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewelry and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made, and you decide to sell or not.

“If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it’s also about information” says Burrill. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark price of what items are worth. There is no obligation and we don’t pressure anyone into selling.”

“Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold.

Energy costs area about $500 to mine a new once of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per once.” A result of this is gold and silver purchased at the shows and later melted goes back into the market with a lower environmental impact.

Out of fashion jewelry, single earrings, broken chains, unloved jewelry, charm bracelets, dental gold, nuggets and fine gold are all accepted. Sterling silver flatware sets. Another valuable item is coin with silver content. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars from Canada and America can be sorted and the silver content determined in no time at all. People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment.

TC Precious Metals can assess and purchase Canadian and Dominion of Canada paper money. They have extensive experience working with estate, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.

Pioneer supper held at Museum Submitted by Randy Gaveronski The Assiniboia and District Historical Society put on a supper from days past.

They used a menu resembling what the pioneering forefathers and mothers would have eaten at the turn of the 19th century.

They had baked beans, sauerkraut with sausage, cornbread, biscuits and apple cobbler for desert!

They had a much smaller crowd than expected, but the attendees were well-diversified, as the youngest person to partici-

pate was one year old, as for the oldest … well, they were not sure how old!

They hosted over 50 people at this the Sask Lotto sponsored event. The rest of the evening was filled with cowboy poetry and storytelling from years past.

Bill and Audrey Wilson from McCord and Brian Anderson of Hazlett and Marvin Auseth of Success supplied the great stories and shared some interesting history. Many volunteer members and servers cooked and served the meals for everyone.

Cereals Canada: Modern Agriculture Submitted by Cam Dahl, President, Cereals Canada Most farmers are reluctant to talk about modern agriculture. Our own industry advertisements promote the image of a farm with a faded red barn and a few chickens running about in a pastoral setting. That is not modern agriculture and we need to stop letting agriculture be portrayed this way.

It is not hard to understand why modern agriculture shies away from talking about what we do on the farm. Modern agriculture practices are regularly attacked by activists who want to return to the lost golden age of Ole McDonald’s farm. One just has to look at the recent flurry of negative media coverage of glyphosate, one of the most studied and reviewed pesticides in history, to see evidence of agriculture practices being questioned.

The truth is that Ole McDonald retired a long time ago. We should let him enjoy his dotage. His day was characterized by rural poverty, houses with no running water and no central heat. Rural schooling was in one room that gave those in them little chance of advanced education. The good old days were not very good for those living in them.

Modern agriculture has changed that.

Today most agriculture production in Canada takes place on commercial farms that are thriving businesses. Mostly owned and operated by families, they are managed by individuals with advanced degrees and a deep understanding of international markets. The equipment is not rusting pick-ups and open cab tractors but combines, sprayers and tractors that are guided by satellites. Seeds, fertilizers and pesticides used are the result of years of intensive research.

These tools are designed to have a minimal environmental footprint and to be safe for farmers and consumers alike.

I am told by professional communicators that talking about modern agriculture in this way does not effectively reach consumers and give them comfort in how their food is produced. Someone is a downtown urban center, shopping for their kids’ lunch, does not care that much about eradicating rural poverty. They just want to know that they will be giving their kids a safe and nutritious lunch. So what has modern agriculture done for consumers?

Let’s tackle “affordable”. By February 9th of 2018, the average Canadian household earned enough income to pay for their grocery bill for the entire year, spending about 10 percent of their income on food.

Want to compare? Portuguese consumers spend about 17, percent of their income on food, Russians 28 percent and Nigerians 56 percent. Those of us involved in agriculture need to do a better job of communicating how modern farming tools and practices have given Canadians access to some of the cheapest and highest quality food in the world. We also need to be able to relate what happens when ill-conceived regulations take those tools away.

Modern Canadian agriculture is also delivering some of the safest food in the world. A recent study by the Conference Board of Canada ranked food safety performance of Canada and sixteen other developed OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) nations. Canada’s food safety ranked the highest of all the countries examined.

Modern Canadian agriculture has a very good environmental story to tell. Modern practices such as conservation tillage are increasing the health of soils, reducing the amount of fuel used and reducing soil erosion. Precision agriculture, which uses satellites to precisely steer equipment is maximizing the efficiency of pesticides and fertilizers, further reducing fuel use and protecting water from nutrient run-off.

In the last 40 years, energy use per tonne of wheat produced has reduced by 39 percent. Forty years ago, soil organic matter was being depleted with every crop.

Modern agriculture has changed this picture dramatically and today organic matter in prairie soils is increasing every year.

This means the soil is healthier, it is more productive, less susceptible soil erosion and farms across Canada are sequestering carbon dioxide. Why are these good news stories about modern agriculture not getting through to average Canadians? One of the reasons is that those who are opposed to modern agriculture are focused on their communication efforts and have spent the time and money to coordinate their work.

Agriculture, on the other hand, does not have united communication efforts. We are all focused on our individual companies and organizations and often communicating with the public is left to “side of the desk” projects. This needs to change.

Agriculture needs to give time, money and coordination to our outreach. Modern agriculture has a good story to tell, but if we aren’t telling it then we are letting others speak for us and all consumers will hear are concerns from outside our industry.

Celebrating Thanksgiving

C

anadian Thanksgiving is somewhat invisible – a long weekend in early October – a day of tradition pitched between summer luxury and Christmas in December.

Sure, Jour de l’action de grâce is a relief to most, occuring on the second Monday each October. But for most Canadians, Thanksgiving is a relaxing stopover before winter.

Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate harvests, eat pumpkin pie and watch the CFL Thanksgiving Classic doubleheader, but Christmas is more important. Since November 6, 1879, Canadians have enjoyed the holiday of marshmallow salads, when we take three days off in October to meet, dine and argue with the family. But as most Canadians know, Thanksgiving is a bigger deal in America – a festivity every fourth Thursday in November. There are harvest celebrations with similarities in the autumn months in countries as diverse as Liberia, Japan and Germany. Still, nobody does Thanksgiving like they do it south of the border.

“In America, Thanksgiving is almost more important than Christmas”, our third-floor resident assistant explained as we stood in the hallway of the high school boys dorm at Prairie, watching Curtis pack his cases, seeing how happy he was to be on his way to the airport to leave freezing Alberta and the dorm behind for the briefest of respites in his hometown of San Diego. Curtis wasn’t just escaping the pre-winter on the Canadian Prairies, he was hoping to spend time with his family on a revered American holiday, beginning as a harvest celebration in 1789 after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. Most Americans I’ve known tend to celebrate Thanksgiving on a more serious level than Canadians. During a college course I took in England in the late eighties, the American students sealed a dining room off for their November turkey feast prepared by the kitchen workers. Brits, Scandinavians, Australians, Africans, Latin Americans and Canadians had their suppers in another dining hall, where the meals were dished in half-portions as always.

For Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of miracles. There are Canadian Thanksgiving pageants in our city streets, but nothing in our country will eclipse the 92nd Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York this year. Americans have even created Thanksgiving cartoons. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. A Garfield Thanksgiving. But, there are similarities between the Canadian and American versions. For instance, both nations enjoy Thanksgiving movies. On American Thanksgivings, Democrats put on The War at Home or Alice’s Restaurant on DVD players and eat popcorn topped with vegan margarine. Republicans stretch on the couches in their living rooms to watch A Walton Thanksgiving and eat ice cream and apple pie. On Canadian Thanksgivings, if we aren’t watching CFL football, we’re watching reruns of American Thanksgiving movies.

A Thanksgiving movie I’ve always enjoyed reminds me of a personal experience in October 1992. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a 1987 comedy by John Hughes. The movie stars Steve Martin and Canadian actor, John Candy. Steve Martin as Neal Page is an executive who teams up with a curtain ring salesman named Del Griffith, played by Candy. The two go on a disastrous venture halfway across America. Neal, a character with facial expressions best described as permanently constipated, wants to return home to Chicago from New York City for Thanksgiving, but his plans keep going awry.

When I worked at Emerald Lake Lodge in Yoho National Park in 1992, I experienced a series of mishaps while hitching through the mountains from BC to Alberta to get home for Thanksgiving. First, I bribed my roommate Ken with a bottle of bourbon to drop me off in his Caprice on the highway nine kilometres from the lake then pick me up in Field on Monday at the Greyhound. When I started on my hitching venture, I wasn’t dressed for mountain weather. Those westerlies flying off the mountaintops were icing my neck, face and hands for much of the day. Also, I could barely keep my eyes open, because I had just finished an overnight shift. There were too many strolls between rides along the TransCanada. The snow started falling sometime after leaving Banff. The long silences between the drivers and myself during the rides were stressful – each of us believing we were concealing unpleasantries. About twelve hours later, I made it home to Didsbury.

The warmth, the friendliness and the love from my family after this thumbing calamity through the mountains, foothills and prairies made this Thanksgiving trip worthwhile on a wintry October. To be sure, Ken earned his Jack Daniels after meeting me at the Greyhound station after the Calgary to Vancouver bus stopped in Field on Monday night.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a 1987 American comedy film written, produced, and directed by John Hughes. The film stars Steve Martin as Neal Page, a high-strung marketing executive, who meets Del Griffith, played by John Candy, an eternally optimistic, outgoing, overly talkative, and clumsy shower curtain ring salesman. They share a three-day odyssey of misadventures trying to get Neal home to Chicago from New York City in time for Thanksgiving with his family.

Letters to the Editor Reader concerned about lack of funding for mental health To the Editor, Saskatchewan is currently spending five per cent of its budget on mental health, which is two per cent less than the national average. Mental health receives less funding than physical health, which has greatly affected both mine and my family’s lives.

My mental illness and addiction, which go hand in hand, have been extremely taxing, both emotionally and financially. Living with the stigma attached to mental illness has told me that I should be ashamed. I am at fault for having an illness. Stigma makes it difficult for anyone to share their story, no matter what field you work in. At this point I am not ready to go in front of a camera. However, I have chosen to share a piece of creative writing under the pen name of Alice Falling.

Alice Falling: A True Miracle I called, and they told me they just didn’t have a bed.

It’s a true miracle that I am not dead.

Addiction & mental illness ... you can’t treat one without the other.

When you start getting sober ... depression sets in ... why do I even bother?

I’ve tried to push back the pain that comes when you first get sober.

And fight the dark thoughts that leave me wishing it could all be over.

As I write this in a Psychiatric Unit,

I’m fighting feelings of shame.

But if I was in Cardiology, would people point and blame?

Addiction and mental illness are not just on the street.

It’s happening in your own back yard, even when you keep your lawn so neat.

This illness does not discriminate based on class, race or gender.

Whether you’re drinking under a bridge, or hiding it behind your Power.

Other parts of the country get seven, but we only get five per cent.

Without adequate resources, I’m way too overspent.

There’s a Party in Saskatchewan that says my life doesn’t count.

If they say that’s not true, why can’t mental health get the same amount?

This whole situation is not financially sound.

Three nights monitored by ICU, in case my heart ceased to pound.

I called. They told me they didn’t have a bed. It’s honestly a miracle that I’m not dead.

I finally got the call from my addictions worker.

It’s honestly a true miracle ... they do have a bed ... and so the LONG WAIT is over.

Former local restores 1928 Chevrolet Submitted by John Mytroen My grandfather, James Tysdal, was homesteading in the Vantage area, north of Assiniboia. In 1928, he purchased this Chevrolet truck from the J.I. Case dealer in Assiniboia. I’m sure there were some second thoughts a year later when the Great Depression began.

Nevertheless, the truck served as their family transportation until 1951. My grandfather and father gave me this vehicle in the early 1960s, at which point I did a cosmetic restoration with the limited funds available for a school-

boy and painted the truck red. I drove the truck to school in Mazenod and often to Assiniboia to cruise the main street on Saturday evenings.

In 1969, I moved to Ontario and the truck sat on the farm for over 40 years. About eight years ago, I brought the truck back to Ontario then did a frame-off nut and bolt restoration. I’ve taken the truck to many local shows in Ontario over the last couple years. This summer, I attended the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America show and was awarded first place.

Assiniboia Rockets put up good game Submitted by Brian Ruthven (Principal of the Assiniboia Elementary School) The Assiniboia Rockets came off their bye week and put up their best performance of the year against the visiting Wynyard Bears on October 4.

On a slush covered field, the Rockets were able to take a 14-8 halftime lead on Wynyard thanks to a 43-yard punt return by Grade 12 Josh Nesvold.

The second half saw the Bears score two quick touchdowns on back-to-back possessions in the third quarter. The teams traded touchdowns in the fourth as Tag Zahariuk (Grade 10) scored his second rushing touchdown of the day, but it wasn’t enough as the Rockets fell 27-20. The Rockets were back at it again on October 9, when they played the Caronport Cougars.

School Sport Week is October 7 to 13 The Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) announced that October 7 – 13, 2018 was recently proclaimed as ‘School Sport Week’ in Saskatchewan.

“The proclamation of School Sport Week in Saskatchewan provides an opportunity to celebrate the important contribution and lasting impact that high school athletics has on the development of Saskatchewan’s youth.” said Education Minister Gordon Wyant. “We value the important work of the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) to promote student athletics and athletic competitions in our Province. The efforts of the SHSAA bring value to both our schools and our communities.”

Wednesday, October 10 was Coaches and Officials Recognition Day. Thursday, October 11 was MultiSport Participation Day. Today, Friday, October 12, is School Team Recognition Day. Schools are encouraged to set aside time during the week to acknowledge the Coaches, Officials, Student Athletes, and Supporters who contribute to the success of High School Sport in their

community. An important aspect is to recognize that High School Sport is an extension of the classroom and provides an opportunity for developing citizenship skills and contributes to the education of leadership, teamwork, healthy lifestyles, motor skills, sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity.

National High School Activities Week was initiated in 1980 by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) as a means to promote the value of interscholastic activities. The NFHS now promotes National High School Activities Month and includes a number of other activities in addition to high school sport in the list of activities organized by the NFHS such as music, drama, band, etc.

School Sport Canada has encouraged its provincial organizations to make schools across the country aware of the initiative.

Each year the SHSAA asks the Government of Saskatchewan to declare one week in October to be ‘School Sport Week in Saskatchewan’. As mentioned above, the week of October 7 -13, 2018 will be the designated week.

The Assiniboia Rockets played the Wynyard Bears in the snow on October 4.

Young talent in the NHL If somehow the draft and eligibility rules were rewritten, a National Hockey League team of players 21 and under could be formed that might run away with the Stanley Cup. The young talent around the NHL is staggering.

And they’re from all over the world — Finland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States and, of course Canada, where the best player in the world, and the leader of this mythical 21-and-under squad, Connor McDavid, learned the game.

The Wayne Gretzky trade-to-L.A influence is really starting to show up, with some of the world’s best players having U.S. addresses. Arizona native Auston Matthews of the Maple Leafs leads the way — already a superstar just a notch or two below McDavid. He is one of two Leafs in this 21-and-under group, with Canadian Mitchell Marner joining Matthews for a potent 1-2 punch in Toronto.

The team with the most

stars in this 21-and-under group is the Arizona Coyotes, which may bode well for future success for this long-suffering franchise.

Forwards Clayton Keller, 20, and Christian Fischer, 21, join 20-year-old defenceman Jacob Chychrun on this young squad. All three were born in the U.S. but Chychrun — whose father played in the NHL, as did his uncle, Luke Richardson — has Canadian connections.

Montreal Canadiens drafted an 18-year-old from Finland named Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who picked up an assist in his first game Oct. 3 and thus became the first NHL player born in 2000 or later to record a point. Ah, kids.

This year’s No. 1 draft pick, Rasmus Dahlin, is an 18-year-old from Sweden. Said to possess skills similar to those of McDavid, Dahlin leads a group of young stars on the blue line that includes Zach Werenski, 21 (U.S.), Ivan Provorov, 21 (Russia), Charley McAvoy, 20

(U.S.), Mikhail Sergachev, 20 (Russia) and Noah Hanifin, 21 (U.S.). Where are all the young Canadian defencemen?

Up front, the young talent behind McDavid, Matthews and Marner is immense — Patrik Laine, 20 (Finland), Sebastian Aho, 21 (Finland), Nico Hischier, 19 (Switzerland), Travis Konecny, 21 (Canada), Casey Mittlestadt, 20 (U.S.), Brock Boeser, 21 (U.S.) and Elias Pettersson, 19 (Sweden).

Give any coach those players and he wouldn’t lose too many games. Problem is, there are no 21-andunder goalies currently in the NHL, and ‘experience’ is always valuable in the playoffs. But this is just a mythical group. The point is, the NHL’s future is certainly bright.

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Cavaliers — despite the departure of LeBron James — are still the team to beat in the Eastern Conference, Cleveland centre Tristan Thompson told reporters.

Oddsmakers immediately made Thompson the morning-line favourite for first NBA player to get drugtested this season.”

• Brad Rock of the Deseret News: “Cleveland forward Tristan Thompson says the LeBron-less Cavs are still four-time conference champs and ‘until you take us down from that, teams ain’t got much to say.’ Except maybe this: The Browns aren’t the worst team in Cleveland anymore.”

• Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com (Hampton, Va.): “Was Orioles manager Buck Showalter fired? Or was he granted clemency?”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on his thoughts on last year’s Vegas Golden Knights, as they approached their first NHL season: “I would’ve written that Sin City needs the NHL like Vatican City needs a tattoo parlor.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke. com: “This just in: the Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch set for December may be in jeopardy. One of them has tested positive for Poligrip.”

Leonard (Art) Martin McCann

Leonard (Art) Martin McCann died September 27th at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon, after a short illness. Art was born on June 4, 1924 in Viceroy, Saskatchewan. He was predeceased by his parents, Edward and Ivy (Boll) McCann, brother Roy (Elene) McCann, wife Ruth (Spicer) and nephew Grant McCann. Art began farming with his brother Roy at age 15, and their partnership continued until 1982. He then farmed with his son Neil until 1998. Art married Ruth in 1946 and after her death in 2001, he married Adele Thompson in 2003. Art’s life was one of service, first to his family, then to the community of Viceroy where he sat on a variety of boards, including the Credit Union, Viceroy Coop pasture, and Recreation Board. He refereed, umpired and coached hockey and baseball. He was gifted with mechanical skills, an analytical and inventive mind, and an aptitude to learn. He and Roy built and adapted equipment together that benefited their farm operation. He was in his 80s when he learned to use a computer. Even in his 90’s, he continued to build his skills at contract bridge.

Art and Ruth discovered the joy of square dancing, making many friends and dancing throughout Saskatchewan, across Canada to the east coast, and then to Australia. Even in hospital, Art teased the nurses that they needed to learn the heeltoe polka. Later, he and Adele enjoyed spending summers at Thomson Lake where they danced, visited family and friends, watched baseball, and suffered through the Roughriders’ ups and downs. Art greatly valued his friendships and found it painful to have outlived so many of his friends. He was grateful for good friends at the condo and beginning friendships at Luther Riverside Terrace in Saskatoon. He will be greatly missed by his wife, Adele (Thompson) McCann; his children Paulette (Ken) Dull, Neil (Susan) McCann, Blair (Lynn Guina) McCann, Faye (Ron) Hindle; grandchildren William Dull, Fraser Dull, Chelsea McCann, Leon McCann (Cassie Tjeltveit), Abram (Lixin Luo) Hindle, Alyssa (Conrad Carriere) Hindle, Neil (Lisa) Hindle; great- grandchildren, Hayden Dull, Kendra Jenkin, Jack Hindle, Levi Hindle; his stepchildren Brian (Sandy) Thompson, Pam (Steve) Dawson, Garth (Pam) Thompson; step-grandchildren, Michael (Anna) Thompson, Mason Thompson; and step-great-grandchild, Mila; brothers-in-law Don Livingstone, Warren Spicer, Doug Harvey, Lloyd Spicer; sisters-in-law Elene McCann, Verna Livingstone, Ann Spicer, Shirley Spicer, Edna Spicer, Chris Spicer, Rose Spicer; nephews and nieces Edward (Sharon) McCann, Linda (Terry) Ray and Ian (Tanya) McCann; and numerous Spicer nephews and nieces. A celebration of Art’s life will be held at 2:00 PM on Friday, October 12 at The Willows, with interment later at Viceroy. His family is grateful to Adele and the Thompson Family and also for the excellent care Art received from the staff at St. Paul’s Hospital and Luther Riverside Terrace. Donations may be made to the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation.

Wade Letilley

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Wade on July 28, 2018 in Grand Forks, B.C. Wade was born to Barry and Debbie Letilley on June 19, 1989 in Moose Jaw, SK. He was the younger brother of Kayley (Ken), and precious Uncle to Chase and Kinsley.

He is predeceased by his Uncle Earl, and cherished Grandmas Delphine Fletcher and Mary Letilley, also by his Grandpas Cecil Fletcher and Marcel Letilley who passed before Wade was born. It is impossible to capture the spirit of Wade with words on a page. From the beginning Wade filled our lives with endless laughter and entertainment. He was a determined soul, with a brilliant imagination that carried him throughout his life and adventures abroad. After childhood Wade moved to B.C. to be closer to nature. He loved the mountains and the forest. He enjoyed the wilderness and exploring the land near his place with his dog, Missy. Wade always had a strong connection with animals, from his cat Sneakers, to family pet K.C., to finally his own rescue companion, Missy. Wade’s eagerness to learn led him to Thailand numerous times. He also travelled to Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Philippines and China. He embraced the Eastern philosophies and enjoyed the climate and learning the cultures of the people there. Wade was always keen to share his knowledge and experiences upon his return. Although, not without a struggle, Wade lived courageously with unwavering beliefs and a dedicated commitment to his principles.

Wade will forever be celebrated for his passion and purposeful life and will be missed beyond measure. We love you, Wade. A Celebration of Wade’s life will be held on Saturday October 13, 2018 at 1:30 PM at Parkview Funeral Chapel, 474 Hochelaga St. W., Moose Jaw, SK. Della Ferguson will officiate. For those so wishing memorial donations in Wade’s memory may be made to Journey to Hope – Moose Jaw or Moose Jaw Humane Society. In living memory of Wade, a memorial planting will be made by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.wjjonesandson.com (Obituaries).

April 16, 1923 ~ September 27, 2018 Dorothy Eileen (Jenner) McDonald passed away September 27, 2018 with her loving family at her side. Dorothy was born April 16, 1923 at the Jenner family farm near Willows, SK. She was the 8th child of 9 in the George and Rosa May Jenner family. In her youth, Dorothy worked as a housekeeper and cook for a local family. During the war she travelled to Ajax, ON where she worked in the airplane assembly plant. Upon her return she met George McDonald and they were married on October 30, 1943.

They lived on the McDonald family farm in the Davyroyd District before moving to their retirement home in Assiniboia in 1988. During her years on the farm she helped with all aspects of the farm operation and raised four children Jeanne, Don, Barry and Glenda as well as caring for George’s mother Edith (Davy) McDonald.

Mom had many talents. She could play any instrument she picked up even though she could not read music and had no musical training. She was gifted with perfect pitch and loved to sing. She was a member of the local band where she played guitar, accordion or piano with Bruce Tayler and Doug Padfield. They played for many dances at the Davyroyd School where the community gathered for numerous functions. She encouraged her children to play instruments and sing, often singing in the round to add fun to our work. She was also a good cook and a great hostess taking her turn with Christmas meals where the neighbors and family attended sometimes up to 30 in our little house. (kids ate in the bedrooms due to lack of space) After retiring from the farm she took up painting. She would paint beautiful sceneries and Dad would help by building frames. She also loved to hand paint ceramic plates and beautiful broaches with full sceneries. She learned to do macramé, knitting and paper tole.

Mom would drop everything to spend time with her children and grandchildren often entertaining their friends as well and treating all like they were her own.

College ` Mathieu celebrates a century of learning

By Dan Archer During the recent Thanksgiving weekend, Collège Mathieu in Gravelbourg celebrated its 100-year anniversary. At the start of the 20th century, Bishop O.E – Mathieu, Archbishop of Regina, wanted to build an educational institution in Saskatchewan for French Canadian Catholic children.

In December 14, 1918 Mathieu’s vision was realized when the Gravelbourg Catholic College – dubbed as Collège Mathieu – opened for 67 French speaking male students from ages 5 to 13.

The institution became co-ed in 1970. Initially, the school was run by four Oblate nuns of the Sacred Heart and Mary Immaculate. The Oblate connection continued until 1976. Collège Mathieu is further distinguished by being the singular French-speaking residential school in Western Canada.

This school served as an important centre of learning for many in the Gravelbourg district since 1918. For a time, Collège Mathieu were linking their students to Laval University in Quebec City and the University of Ottawa.

Until 1968, students could study for Bachelor of Arts degrees from these universities while living in Gravelbourg.

The Pavillion also had chemistry and physics laboratories from 1946 to 1968.

J.E Fortin of Montreal designed the Pavillion – fabricated from bricks originating from Estevan. Like the Assiniboia Court House, the Pavillion’s trimmings were executed in Tyndall limestone.

The façade of the Pavillion is classically-influenced, with square piers marking the doorway. Other unique characteristics of the Pavillion include the three-sectioned Palladian window over the entrance. Originally, the structures on campus were designed in a respectful, classically-influenced fashion to enable a sense of fusion with the

ecclesiastical buildings in town.

The school’s central building was built in 1920 over the old church’s basement, another historical feature of

Gravelbourg – unfortunately, this structure was destroyed by fire in 1988. Thereafter, updated facilities were built on the campus, which became operational again in 1989.

Telemiracle auditions open Applications are now being accepted for auditions to perform at Telemiracle 43.

Regina auditions will take place on Saturday, November 3. Saskatoon Auditions will take place on Sunday, November 4.

The second one within a week or week and a half before auditions.

The Conexus Credit Union held a barbecue on September 28 to show appreciation to the members and clients of Thrive Wealth Management and the credit union. Although the event was free of charge, donations were accepted in support of Stars Air Ambulance. A total of $595 was raised for this important service for Saskatchewan and the province’s rural communities. The weather was excellent and the attendance of the event was good, with over 150 members, clients and individual members present for one of the last barbecues in the season. submitted by James Matravolgyi, CFP Wealth Advisor, Credential Securities
