Assiniboia’s sixth annual Firefighters Ball By Dan Archer Assiniboia Fire Rescue held their sixth annual Firefighters Ball at the Conexus Hall in the Prince of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre on February 23. Almost 146 community members — counting RCMP officers, frontline safety staff and firefighters — attended the much-anticipated soiree. Advertised as Saskatchewan’s hottest rock/pop party band, Rock Candy provided the evening’s entertainment at the ball. Rock Candy features vocalists Brooke Nickel and Michael Barrett, who also plays lead guitar. Nicole Knezacek performs on keyboard, Irvin Fines plays bass and Niel Knezacek pounds the skins for Rock Candy. The band typically cover classic rock and Top 40 songs from a diverse range of artists including Meatloaf, Heart, Pat Benatar and Journey. The event also incorporated a silent auction with items donated from a number of local businesses such as B&A Petroleum, E. Bourassa & Sons, NAPA Auto Parts and Timothy Daniels. Several local and provincial businesses placed their support behind the Firefighters Ball. Three Alarm Sponsors for the ball included Prairie Mechanical, the Southern Cruisers and Southland Co-op. The Assiniboia Times, Nelson GM, Mitch’s Meats and other businesses were designated as Two Alarm Sponsors. Tickets for the Firefighters Ball were available at Chuck’s Collision, Nelson GM, Conexus Credit Union and from any fire department member.

Fife Lake Hotel auction raises over $19 thousand for Telemiracle By Dan Archer If you’re driving on Highway 18 between Rockglen and Coronach, be sure to stop in at Fife Lake, to explore another beautiful and nearlyforgotten hamlet almost cheek-to-cheek with the U.S. border. The Fife Lake Hotel on Main Street has the best steaks in town, along with a friendly, easygoing atmosphere inside a building packed with vintage decor. Gail and Lawson Harkness run the hotel and restau-
rant in this hamlet of 30 people. The Lawson couple are also very communityconscious. On Sunday, the hotel held their annual auction to help fund the Kinsmen Telemiracle happening at the beginning of March in Saskatoon. The Fife Lake Hotel organized their 26th annual Telemiracle auction on February 24. Over the last 25 years, the hotel has raised more than $220,000 to help finance Telemiracle, a yearly broadcasted event planned and hosted
by the Kinsmen and Kinettes in Saskatchewan. The hotel’s auction has always proven to be successful, drawing people into Fife Lake from all over the southern areas of the province and Montana. Last year, the hotel raised $16,403 at the auction, including funds earned from the auction, raffle tickets and Helping Hands. Whenever Gail has asked for donations for their auction, there’s usually a pile of bits and bobs to sort through. Lawson said

his wife took six weeks to categorize and arrange the auctioned pieces this year, including clothing, pictures, household items and other goods donated by people in Saskatchewan and Montana. The auction’s germination started more than 30 years ago. Once, Lawson and a friend took take annual winter walks from Coronach to the ScobeyCoronach border crossing to raise money for the Kinsmen Telemiracle. After about six years of committing to long walks through storms, blizzards and general bad weather in February to raise money for the charity broadcast in Saskatoon, Lawson and his friend thought they were getting too old for this gig. Thereafter, Lawson decided to raise money for the Kinsmen Telemiracle by holding fundraising auctions at his hotel instead.

Winter driving isn’t easy
L
ast week, I performed the usual routine: unplugged the car, started the motor, ignored the cold and swept the snow off the windows with a broom. Then I went back inside for about 20 minutes, waiting until the frozen air outside my door became thickened with emissions. I placed the toasty-warm, carbon-gasping car into gear and backed-up. Wallop. Crunch. Vroom. Halt. The car rolled over a white coffin then stopped. Trapped in my own driveway. I’ve been in the situation before. Years ago, when I worked in the British Columbian Rockies, my ancient Volvo 240 slid onto a patch of ice then front-ended into a snowbank. After several minutes of cursing and reversing, I went into the forest, tore off tree branches, pushed handfuls of twigs, sticks and dead leaves underneath the tires, tucked the car into reverse and escaped this icy hold. Another time, I drove a Chev Impala into a snowbank in Three Hills in -40 Celsius weather with the nearest towing company several kilometres away in Olds. I ripped some branches off a nearly-dead hedge then prayed for the best outcome. After two hours of rolling, reversing, forwarding then reversing again, I eventually spun the Impala out from its snare. But last week in the driveway, my trustworthy Ford refused to budge, so the next day, I paid $72 to Chuck’s Collison to have the car towed. If I’d spent about 20 minutes of shovelling snow from the drive, this situation could have been avoidable. You think I might’ve learned something from this idiotic episode, but two days later I drove my Ford into another snowy ensnarement. On the way to Fife Lake for a story, I stopped in Lisieux to take some photos of the beautiful, white-coated landscape drenched in sunlight. Naturally, I thought it would be a great decision to drive along a country road in search of some arresting views to capture with the Nikon. I drove along this thoroughfare surrounded with gorgeous scenery, stopping once or twice to take some photos, not realizing I was manoeuvring along a private road. Eventually, I arrived at a gate blocking the way forward. I turned the car around with the intent of heading back onto Highway 2, but the fabulous Fusion slid off the road and plummeted halfway into a ditch. Branches, twigs and dead leaves couldn’t have helped me escape the tilted arrangement, with the backend inclined upwards and the car’s nose digging into snow. I left the car, walked back to Lisieux in the cold and knocked onto the first door I saw with a massive truck parked outside. A man answered. I told him what happened to my car in excited tones. Without hesitation, he put his overalls and boots on then drove me out to the car. He hitched a chain and towing strap onto the Fusion then dragged the vehicle out from the ditch with ease. After thanking him, I drove onwards to Fife Lake for a steak lunch, staying clear of snowbanks, icy patches and cow tracks repurposed as roads. Winter driving can be the stuff of nightmares, but sometimes helpful strangers with trucks, chains and towing straps can help the goofs like me who insist on driving mid-sized sedans on roads best suited for 4X4s.

Who are the real heroes? Submitted by Pastor Doug Miner, Messiah Lutheran Church, Assiniboia Luke 6:27: “But I say to you that listen, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” We live in an age of superheroes. Yes, they may have been in our comic books as we were growing up, but today they are literally larger than life on the movie screen. Thor, Hulk, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Dr. Strange, Captain America and so on. Yet the only thing that makes them SUPER, really, are fictional enemies. Imagine for a moment a person who strives for peace by loving their enemies. Gandhi comes to mind. Not only Gandhi, but each man and woman who deliberately choose to love their powerful enemy no matter how much it hurt, even when it cost their lives sometimes. They walked right up to their enemy as if to offer their body for beating.
Who are the real heroes of our age that would be kind to the person who hates them? Our First Nations of Saskatchewan come to mind, suffering the way their generations have suffered. I am completely humbled to be in their forgiving presence; to be a pastor walking along-side a Cree priest as he shepherds his community. The power of God working in my brothers and sisters, empowering them to forgive. To be invited into their faith journey and life struggle is for me like being in the presence of my Lord Jesus. What does it take to offer a blessing to a people who would curse your name? What kind of person prays for people who abuse you? Who is the real-life Christian hero of our day? Jesus, the one we call Lord invites us to be the people of this earth who “listen” to the ways of God, so lovingly demonstrated for us in the life, death and resurrection of the Son of God. So, build each other up in this most holy faith in Jesus Christ.

Senior Rebels play Gravelbourg in the Notekeu playoffs Submitted by Bill Lothian The Notekeu semifinals are officially well under way with both playoff games over the weekend. In game one of the Rebels versus Gravelbourg series, the Senior Rebels outscored the Hornets 8-5 on the strength of a hattrick from veteran Mitch Holick, along with a pair each from Kevin Powell and Brayden Delorme. Bryce Hall added a single. Period scores were 2-1, 5-3 and the final. The Rebels suffered a major blow with a seasonending injury for veteran, Derek Lessmeister. In game two, the Senior Rebels went into Hornetville, opening up a 3-0 lead into the second period, but they couldn’t hold the match with a shorter bench, so the Assiniboia team ended up losing 5-3. Sean Whelan, Zack Evans and Lane Cayer notched the Rebel markers. Game three was back in Assiniboia last Friday night and the Hornets came out flying. Not to be denied, Gravelbourg opened up a 4-0 lead, scoring all four goals inside of four
minutes in the second. The Rebels tried a valiant comeback in the third, narrowing the gap to 5-4 with eight minutes to go, but they couldn’t pot the equalizer. Thus, with their backs against the wall, the Rebels need to win in Gravelbourg on Friday
night then come home for the game-fiver-decider on Saturday. In the other series, Coronach defeated Hodgeville 7-4 in game one. Hodgeville won game two by a score of 5-4, but Coronach regained the series lead by winning game three with a 7-3 victory.
The Coronach Merchants meet the Hodgeville Huskies again on Friday, March 1 at the Hodgeville Rink at 8:30 p.m. The Assiniboia Rebels are off to Gravelbourg on Friday, March 1 to play the Hornets in another grudge match, starting at 8:30 p.m.
Senior Rebels goalies Spencer Bushell and Tyvan Branton, shared a Photo by Dan Archer trophy for best goals scored against.

Obituaries Susan Josephine Hayward (nee DeBruyne)
On February 10, 2019, Susan Hayward, age 96, former longtime resident of Assiniboia, SK, passed away peacefully at Lafleche & District Health Centre. Susan was born April 20, 1922 on the family farm and raised in the Ceylon area of SK. She was the 6th of 9 children born to Proper and Elvire DeBruyne, a couple who came to Canada from Belgium. The family was involved in farming and had a market garden; this may explain why Susan was such an excellent gardener. After Susan and Cecil Hayward were married in 1948, they lived in Stoughton and Regina before Cecil’s work brought them to Assiniboia in 1950. They were both very involved in the Royal Canadian Legion and Susan was a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of the St. Boniface and St Lawrence Anglican church. Susan was devoted wife and mother, a loyal friend and a lovely neighbour. She was a person who put the needs of others first. She will no doubt be remembered for her thoughtfulness, generosity, and wonderful baking which she always had on hand to share with whoever dropped by. Susan took great pleasure in doing whatever she could to help out family, friends and neighbours. She will be remembered for her warm smile, good nature and generosity, especially with her faboulous baking and produce from her abundundant garden. For the most part, Susan was a full-time home-maker but she did work for a few years at the Pioneer Lodge. Working with seniors was something she really enjoyed. This was not surprising as she always enjoyed being of service to others. Susan loved to spend time with her grandchildren whenever they visited and when she and Cec traveled to see them in Alberta and BC. Cecil passed away in 2007. After his death, Susan remained living in the family home on 5th Ave East until she was 90. She then moved to Prairie Villa (2012- 2015), from 2015 until her death she was at the Lafleche Health Centre. Predeceased by her husband Cecil (2007), five brothers: Albert, Marshall, George, John and Raymond DeBruyne, and two sisters: Margaret Bourassa and Blanche Russell, Susan is survived by daughter, Lynda Hayward (Brent Gloeckler), son Ken, four grandchildren: Alyssa (James) Charbonneau, Max (Cindy) Gloeckler, Megan (Darren) Anderson and Jeremy Hayward, eight great-grandchildren and sister, Madeleine Charmont. The family would like to express thanks to the staff of Prairie Villa and the Lafleche Health Centre for their excellent care of Mom. Funeral Liturgy was held Tuesday, February 19, 2019 at 1:00 pm in St. George’s Roman Catholic Church, Assiniboia, SK with Father Dennis Remot presiding. Honour Guard and rites conducted by the Royal Canadian Legion, Assiniboia Branch #17. Interment followed at Mount Hope Cemetery, Assiniboia, SK. Daughter Lynda, lit the Pascal Candle, readers were Marjorie Hamilton, Lynn Sangster; Music Ministry led by Jeannette & Raymond Mynett; Pallbearers were: Robert Sinclair, Grant Sangster, Ken Hamilton, Nelson Lamb, Dallas Loken, Gary Miller. Donations in memory of Susan may be made to the SK Heart & Stroke Foundation. Expressions of sympathy for the Hayward family may be shared at www.rossfuneralservice.com.

Pop-Up Art Show held by Arts Council By Dan Archer The Assiniboia and District Arts Council held their fourth annual Pop-Up Art Show and Sale at the former Ottenbreit Photo Studio on 531 Centre Street from February 22-23, renamed Gallery Twenty-Four. The Pop-Up art event provided an opportunity for local artists to display or sell their pieces. Visitors were also able to meet and discuss art with some of the local artists involved with the show. Beverages and snacks were provided. “There’s 15 artists at the show. There were some more who were coming, but they backed out,” local painter Lillian Ford said. The show, which didn’t charge admission, displayed a mind-blowing collection of art including
pieces executed in abstract, Anime, post surrealist, pop art and realist styles. A local artist also had some fibre art on display. The assortment of different genres of art at the show was staggering. Although the show competed with other events in town, Assiniboians were enthusiastic about the show exhibiting ground-breaking art. Since Friday, 15 pieces had been sold at the gallery. Although much of the art carried price tags, some of the art at the show had been set aside for public viewing only. The Assiniboia and District Arts Council plans to hold more pop-art sales in the not-too-distant future, with one being planned closer to the Christmas season.

Editor’s Tips: Winter Driving Hacks, Car Care in the Cold By Dan Archer Before you go out driving on a winter’s day, make sure you’re adequately equipped for a venture with seasonal hazards ahead. All vehicles should be checked and rechecked before short or lengthy trips in inclement conditions, especially when can’t park your car inside a garage, leaving the vehicle exposed to the elements overnight. Ensure your vehicle is prepared for cold starts whenever the temperature dips to -20 C and below. Before winter begins, arrange to have your car’s ignition system checked by mechanics in the autumn. A cracked distributor cap, damaged ignition wires, or worn spark plugs can create difficult starts or sudden breakdowns. When winter approaches, if there’s no garage at home, make sure you have possession of an outlet, a weather resistant extension cord and a plug-in block heater installed to protect the motor. The battery’s the heart of the car’s electrical system and the block heater
Fueling the future
serves as a pacemaker of sorts, keeping the engine’s coolant system warm to prevent irregular, mechanical rhythms. Brian Turner in the Your Corner Wrench – a feature in Driving Magazine – says most block heaters are small, household-current submersible elements pressed into a hold inside the engine block. Turner suggests oil pan heaters can serve as viable alternatives to block heaters. Aside from warming the vehicle’s coolant, block heaters can improve your car’s combustible efficiency. Natural Resources Canada maintains block heaters are capable of expanding the fuel economies of vehicles by as much as 10 per cent while running in temperatures at -20 C or below. If you lack a block heater or another warming source, you can wreck a motor after repeated and unsuccessful starts. After keying the ignition, oil should be pumping through the engine block, lubricating each of the moving parts. Whenever the temperature drops, the oil thickens and fails to flow in-
to the engine with as much ease as the lubricant does at warmer temperatures. A decreased oil flow inside the motor means greater friction, causing the mechanical components to wear out faster. The oil inside your motor should always be checked and replaced on a systematic basis regardless of the season. The exhaust system is another critical area for vehicles in the winter. Before winter begins, ask your mechanic to check the exhaust system for leaks long before having to crank the ignition of your car on an early February morning in Saskatchewan. When warming your vehicle, the Canadian Automobile Association reminds motor-
ists not the leave their cars running in enclosed areas to prevent monoxide poisoning. If your car’s stuck in snow with the engine turned on, open the windows a crack. Switch the engine off, get out of the car immediately then clear any excess snow compacting overtop or circling the exhaust pipe to prevent toxic inhalation. A vehicle’s mechanical and electrical functions all endure significant stresses in the winter. Cold weather starts require fully-charged batteries. All headlights and brake lights should be functioning at higherthan-average standards in the winter season, so ensure each of the lights and
lenses are clean and operative, allowing motorists to view your vehicle at effective stopping distances on snowy roads. Brakes must be fully operational for sudden stops on built-up ice. For better overall traction in the winter, each tire should be properly inflated. Are your tires worn out? Test the treads by inserting a Canadian quarter into a tire groove with the caribou facing down. If you see the tip of the caribou’s nose, the tire might not last all winter, or 10,000 kilometres of driving. Always scrape the windscreen and the windows on each side and the rear before reversing from the driveway. In another
article, Turner says built-up snow and ice can mangle and destroy wiper blades. HVAC systems can also be affected by layers of ice and snow. The fresh-air intake of most vehicles is located below the front wipers. When loose snow isn’t cleared off the vents beneath the windscreen prior to starting the vehicle and switching the heater on, moisture might be drawn into the system, waterlogging the cabin air filter and/or creating issues with heater control doors and linkages. Finally, snow and ice damages roof racks, decorative trim and other exterior areas, so if you own a Porsche 911, you should garage it.
