Fifth annual Barbie Car Classic held in Ardill
By Dan Archer Along the way to Moose Jaw on Highway 2, Ardill is quiet and nearly abandoned settlement about 43 kilometres north of Assiniboia, where the Justinsane Barbie Car Club hold their race on plastic toy cars on the slopes of a steep coulee.
The
This year, the club held their fifth annual race in Ardill on May 18. Steve Kowalski of Mossbank claimed the trophy and helmet for 2019. Admission for the event was free. Before the race began, there was a pancake breakfast. Downhill Barbie Jeep Racing has be-
come a popular extreme sport in the U.S. and the United Kingdom in recent times. Fully grown adults take plastic Barbie jeeps or other kid-sized electric toy cars and ride them down steep hills. The sport is of course quite dangerous, since these tiny, plastic vehicles aren’t aerodynamic,
nor are they meant for adults to ride them down hills. The most well-known Barbie car race is held during the spring break by a group named Rednecks with Paychecks in Saint Jo, Texas. For more photos from the Barbie Car Club classic, turn to Page 4.

Regional frontline responders attend seminar project
The RBC team presented a cheque for $1,000 to the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan in honour of the 2019 Hayley and Cayden’s Mother’s Day Run. The Assiniboia RBC team volunteered at the event on May 12 and ran the second water station, providing water and encouragement to the participants. All proceeds from this year’s run are going to the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan, in memory of Hayley’s teacher and past committee member, Sharon Oancia. In the back row, from left, are Sharon Schauenberg, Angela Buztynski, Joanne Romanow, Alison Lewis, Savannah Drouin, Janet Heatcoat and Bailey Ellis.

Southern Junior Rebels board review year at annual general meeting By Dan Archer The Assiniboia Junior Rebels held their AGM inside the Civic Centre lobby on May 14. Elections were also held for the hockey club’s governance. Carol Marit is remaining as the club’s secretary. Sharon Schauenberg will maintain her role as the treasurer. Grant Marit is staying on as the club’s vice president. Finally, Dale Berner will retain his role as the club’s president for the 2019-2020 season. During the AGM, the board examined the profits and costs accumulated by the hockey club for the 2018-2019 season. “It
costs a quarter of a million dollars to run this team,” Schauenberg said. In total, the team made $237,246.78. Yet, the total disbursement costs for the Junior B Rebels are calculated at $239,796.59 with a difference of $2,549.81 for 2019. Here’s a few notable details from the AGM: the Rebels profited from sales of jerseys and hoodies, securing $2,330 for the team. “We sold all of them,” Schauenberg said. The Smiles Per Miles lottery also proved to be a big draw for the Rebels, with the team grossing $137,450 in total with
2228 tickets sold. For the 2018-2019 season, sales of 50/50 tickets brought in $11,834 for the Rebels with 6381 tickets retailed. “This is what we took at the game only,” Schauenberg said in reference to the 50/50 sales. The team’s debits were also discussed at the AGM, along with the introduction of some cost-cutting measures. For example, the 2018-2019 telephone bill for the Rebels came to $4,420.42. “We’ve now put the phone on seasonal, because this is a huge phone bill,” Schauenberg said. The approximate costs for the team’s phone
usage had been estimated to be at $365 per month. The Junior B Rebels profited from several events held over the season, including the Demo Derby, earning the team $481.82. The golf tournament brought in $710 (based on 36 golfers) and the Spencer Mattson Memorial Game netted $1040.18 for the Rebels. Finally, both Steak and Pasta nights brought in a total return of $3508. However, sponsorship dollars are reported to be down this year, with sponsors decreasing their donations to the Junior B Rebels by 50 per cent.
By Dan Archer Gary and Colette Benoit are two Edmontonians on a mission. Their Frontline Resiliency Project is intended to provide active and retired frontline personnel and their families with the implements and assistance required to downgrade stress, construct a sense of inner resiliency and achieve a balance with work and life. The foremost objective of their project is to help frontline workers accomplish improved physical, mental and emotional health. Through their company, Benoit Wellness Consulting, the couple brought their Frontline Resiliency Project to Assiniboia on May 16 to the Prince of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre. Normally a two-day seminar, their presentation was broken down into a three-hour event. Their Frontline Resiliency Project was launched i n N ove m b e r 2 0 1 8 . “We’re doing this as a part time business until Gary retires,” Colette told the audience assembled in the auditorium. Gary has been a city police officer for 20 years. He’s often dealt with stress on a personal basis. He’s even been involved in a shooting while on duty. Through the Frontline Resiliency Project, he hopes to offer support to other frontline responders who experience stress on an everyday basis. “We are helping first responders and their families to reduce stress and build resiliency and strengthen relationships.” Gary described the work and homelife of frontline responders, where the stress from these demanding careers often leave employees feeling helpless and trapped, because there’s often little time for debriefing after serious incidents occur.

Officers and responders are given little time to decompress after the traumatic episodes they’ve face while on duty. Colette moved to Edmonton in 2000 to attain a Bachelor of Professional Arts Degree in Criminal Justice through Grant McEwan University. She is a health and wellness consultant who concentrates on goal setting. She works with clients, helping them to realize the objective of dreaming and to establish positive goals for the future. Colette believes it’s never too late for anyone to dream once again. She encourages her clients to accomplish a work-life balance and to live a life filled with healthy enthusiasm. Gary described their program in three basic steps. The first phase involves a self-evaluation. Step two involves examining an individual’s destination. “What does your life look like if you have the perfect life?” Gary asked the audience. Finally, the third stage necessitates a lengthy scrutiny of a person’s road map. The purpose of this self-examination is meant to encourage people – particularly first responders – to take a serious look at their lives and address what needs to be done in order to build a positive future. In this way, stress can be reduced and life will take on a much stronger meaning.

People with disabilities have the right to thrive in society
L
ast week, the provincial government publicized an investment they’ve allocated for career training for people with disabilities. A total of $491,000 has been set aside for the Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres (SARC) to help manage the Supported Employment Transition Initiative (SETI). SETI gives community-based societies across Saskatchewan the essential funding to cultivate programs meant to support people with disabilities to find employment. The funding provided by the government for SARC will assist nearly 175 individuals with disabilities through 12-15 projects in 2020. SETI specifically concentrates on designing skill enhancements and job search strategies for the disabled. This group searches for ways to apply innovative and pioneering methods to support individuals with disabilities and to give them greater access to the province’s labour market. “Our government is proud to partner with organizations such as SARC to provide programs and services that help Saskatchewan people with disabilities access employment opportunities,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. Although this investment by the government could arguably be more generous, these public funds are still crucial for the province, because the disabled in our society deserve to be treated with dignity. Employment offers independence, a meaning to life and gives us all a sense of guidance and direction. In our society, everyone is entitled to a respectful and meaningful existence, including the disabled. Moreover, by improving the lives of the disabled, we are building upon our inclusive society, where everyone is encouraged to flourish and achieve success regardless of their backgrounds or personal difficulties. The Canadian Human Rights Act disallows discrimination in employment on a number of grounds, including disabilities. Aside from physical incapacities, this act legally deems mental illnesses and drug and alcohol dependencies as disabilities. Under the ruling, Canadian employers aren’t allowed to discriminate on the basis of a disability or a perceived disability. Also, employers must establish a workplace where harassment is never tolerated. Secondly, this act obliges employers to do everything possible to adapt their workplace to suit a disabled employee. An employee with a physical disability might require physical aids or structural changes in the workplace, such as wheelchair ramps. Or, an employee with a mental illness might need social or organizational accommodations to assist them at work. On the surface, the obligations laid upon employers to construct a more inclusive workplace might appear to be based on a set of unnecessary burdens imposed through legalities. Even beyond workplace modifications, there are those who believe the disabled in society are generally an encumbrance for upward financial and social growth. But I would argue the disabled are capable of enriching society, rather than impoverishing or inconveniencing us. In June 2012, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin in Psychology Today wrote, “the disabled add much to the world and are an inspiration to those who pay attention. Living with difficulties can be challenging, to say the least. However, those who have been placed in the situation of dealing with disability often have an amazing insight into what really matters in life.”

There is Proof All Around Submitted by Pastor Bob Scott, Assiniboia Apostolic Church Christian missionaries began arriving in Samoa around 1830. Their aim was to teach the people about the existence of God. They were surprised by the response their message received. These folks had been worshipping since their establishment in that part of the Pacific. Uninformed otherwise, they had adopted various forms of idol worship. The missionaries wanted them to know about the God who created our world. The surprising consequence was the ease with which the native people accepted the new teaching. Their response, based on their day-to-day experience of life on their South Pacific homeland, went something like this: “We know that there is a God who created our world. He has placed us in a land that provides for all of our needs. Tell us more.” These supposedly ignorant people were far wiser than the missionaries expected. Here, in what many consider a tropical paradise, they had food, natural products for clothing and daily articles and the clear blue Pacific. The only task left to the Chris-
tian church was to lead the people away from idols which, out of ignorance of the truth, they had adopted. They and those on the surrounding islands, happily accepted new revelations about the Creator. It seems, these days, that the more we have, the less we believe. We think we can operate independently and have no need for a God many deny, thinking there is no visible proof of his existence. Technological advances make it possible to conclude that we can put our trust in innovative human creation. And yet, we are surrounded by a world we can manipulate, but could never create. We may very well be placing ourselves in jeopardy by not recognizing that all we have originated elsewhere in the mind of a loving God. Paul writes, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20 NIV). In June 2017, a bill was passed by its parliament to transform Samoa to a Christian nation, where they see God everywhere and everyday.

Best known for his work in clay, bronze and steel sculptures, Fafard had sustained a curiosity in drawing and printmaking. His work characterized his relationships with his pastoral Saskatchewan roots, his reverence to art history and his inquiry into form. The exhibition, In Print/ Imprimer, presents a just a small review of the art Fafard produced over the course of his career, focussing on the subject mat-
ter he had been known for such as cows, horses and other domesticated animals. His works were metaphors, political statements, art historical references, objects of humour and delight, as well as expressing the concerns of his time. Aside from the venture into Assiniboia in June, Fafard’s art will also be on display throughout various communities in Saskatchewan from JuneNovember 2019. This display was curated by Jennifer McRorie. The exhibition was made possible through a special partnership with the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery and the Organization Saskatchewan Arts Council’s Arts on the Move touring program.

The history of Assiniboia’s Anglican Church The need and desire to have an Anglican church as a place of worship was more than enough to motivate the congregation to achieve their goal. With the basement started in early 1914, the church started to take shape. A group of young men under
the guidance of Reverend W. Cole completed the basement in the fall of the same year. On October 19, 1914 the crypt was dedicated with five special services. The first service started at 8:00 a.m. and the last service began at 7:30 p.m. to accommodate everyone in
the congregation. The officiating minister was Reverend J. Davies, the first rural Dean for Assiniboia. The congregation celebrated Harvest Thanksgiving this morning as well. Just as the building of the church was getting started, the First World War broke

out in 1914. So, the church stood unfinished as most of the young men enlisted. Unfortunately, not everyone returned after the Armistice in November, 1918. The church was finished and completed with a bell tower in the fall of 1919 and dedicated by Bishop Harding on October 2, 1919. But in 1956, the church was in need of a facelift. The first step in the renovation program was to prepare a new basement beside the existing
church with plans to extend the building by 24 feet. The bell tower was removed and replaced by a tall steeple. A large lancet-shaped window was installed in the upper level of the new addition. A four-pane window was mounted above the main doors. Most of the labour was done by volunteers with the remainder of the costs covered by donations and a loan – this debt was paid-off in the 1960s. In 1984, the congregation began raising money

Planting on the prairies is a challenge at the best of times and then we get hit with extreme cold during the winter months. The good news is that we do have plants that can withstand our extreme climate. Choosing the right plant for the right place takes experience on the prairies. The tags that you find on plants sold at garden centres come from many different areas of Canada and may not be a tag that pertains to the prairies. The zone simply means the coldest temperature that any one plant has been grown in and had good growing success from season to season. For the southern Saskatchewan area, the hardiness zone ranges from 2b- 3b, meaning we can withstand up to -45 degrees Celsius in some areas. Once you know your zone then you can find plants that do well in your yard. A very versatile plant for the prairies is a Mugho Pine. These plants are very easy to grow they love to have excellent drainage and are very cold hardy. The Mugho pine comes in many different mature sizes and shapes. The mature size of a Mugho pine is 13-15 feet tall and wide, the Dwarf Mugho can get to be 7 feet tall and wide. Newer cultivars are even smaller. Stop in at your local garden centre and get the right plant for your yard. Happy planting and I look forward to seeing you at the Garden Centre this year!

to pay for new siding on the church and for other renovations to the interior. The project was set to start in June 1985, but was delayed when the first shipment of siding burned in the Co-op fire. When the next shipment of vinyl siding arrived, work parties were organized before the job began. By the end of June, two sides and the back of the church were completed. Holidays, weather, harvest and the shortage of materials placed the project on hold until the fall. In October, work commenced again. The large upper window was in need of repair, so as an alternative solution, this space was covered in siding. New doors and a curved window about the doors were also installed. A large cross was hung on the front, underneath the peak. The project was completed and paid for after the workers were finished with the building’s restorations.

Lylles Szigety
Lylles Elaine Szigety of Mankota, SK passed away on December 29, 2018, at the age of 79 years. Lylles was born at Kincaid, SK on August 21, 1939. She took her schooling at Mankota, SK and graduated in 1957. She attended a secretarial course in Moose Jaw and upon completion went to work for SaskPower until the passing of her father in 1960. Lylles then came home to Mankota to help look after the family business. She became part owner of Mankota Services, along with her brother Lorne and mother Eliza. Lylles married her best friend, Melvin Szigety, on October 6, 1961 and they were together for over 57 years. The business closed in 1996 and Lylles was free to spend more time doing what she loved, growing flowers, especially petunias, and tendering to her large garden. She also had more time for vacations, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and liked travelling, which included five trips to Arizona in the winter months and at least six or seven trips to BC to visit family. Lylles was an avid curler and enjoyed going to bonspiels out of town where she made numerous friends over the years. Once she quit curling her interests shifted to bowling, which again involved travelling to tournaments and meeting new people. Playing cards was also on her list of social activities and she liked any card games, including bridge. Lylles attended TOPS faithfully and just liked being around people. She will be dearly missed. Lylles is survived by her loving husband Melvin Szigety; brother Lorne Kingston; brothers and sisters-in-law Randy (Mary Jane) Szigety, Penny Szigety, Gloria (Cliff) Fiset; nephews and nieces Kevin Kingston, Karen Kingston, Sharyn Lucas, Kelly de Nevers, Cody Szigety, Mitchell Szigety, Brooke ter Denge, Tammy Angell, Rachelle Fiset. Predeceased by her parents Hillard Kingston (1960) and Eliza nee Maillot (2006) Kingston; sister-in-law Yvette Kingston (2018); father and mother-in-law Joseph (1978) and Violet nee Hefner (2009) Szigety; brother-in-law Harvey Szigety (1971). Funeral Service will take place on Sunday, May 26, 2019, 2:00 p.m. at the Mankota Agricultural Hall. Interment will take place at the Mankota Municipal Cemetery. Memorial donations in memory of Lylles may be made to the Mankota and District Auxiliary for the Prairie View Health Centre, Box 390, Mankota, SK S0H 2W0, and the Calvary United Church, Box 296, Mankota, SK S0H 2W0.

This year’s graduates were Jordan DeBruyne, Mahteya Dumelie, Carson Fehr, Coy Gibson and Cole Zak. Their chosen quote was: “You will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” (Theodor Seuss Geisel). The ceremonies began with the graduates walking in with their parents. Roses were given to their mothers and grandmothers. The graduates took their place on the stage. Mrs. Lorry Okraincee led the singing of O’ Canada. Mrs. Okraincee, the
emcee, acquainted the guests with each of the five graduates, noting out of all these graduates, there was only one the baby of the family. She also introduced the afternoon program. Dr. Shawn Davidson, Trustee of Prairie South School Division 210, gave his regards from the division. Their guest speaker, Mr. Tyson Hertz, gave the graduates some Tyson’s Tips advice for their next steps towards the future. A couple of tips were: call mum and don’t come home. Mahteya Dumelie thanked Mr. Hertz. Carson Fehr, honoured as valedictorian, delivered a thank-you to his parents and classmates for a lifetime of memories. Jordan

Dex Drewitz shines as “Billy Elliot”, Theatre Calgary play By Tammy Rollie Okotoks Western Wheel Reprinted with permission A 10-year-old boy whose personality is known to fill a room has no problem capturing the attention of thousands in a 2,000 plus-seat theatre. Percy Pegler School Grade 5 student Dex Drewitz is playing goal-driven dreamer Billy Elliot in the Tony Award-winning Billy Elliot the Musical with Theatre Calgary. Performances were held early May at the Max Bell Centre. Drewitz, who’s been singing and dancing since before he could read, said “Playing Billy Elliot is like a dream come true. “This
experience is way beyond anything I’ve done before,” he said. “I really like Theatre Calgary because it’s really professional. You feel good because people are paying money to come watch you.” Billy Elliot is the first lead role for Drewitz, who played Tiny Tim in Theatre Calgary’s A Christmas Carol in 2016 and was in several small productions through his family’s dance studio Drewitz Dance Productions in Calgary. Drewitz was the perfect fit for young Billy, according to Susan McNair Reid, Theatre Calgary’s company manager. Theatre Calgary puts on six
shows a season. “He’s an energetic young man full of personality,” she said of Drewitz. “Often kids his age are unable to be themselves on stage, they either try too hard to be what they think acting is or they just freeze up, but he can just be himself on stage. He’s kind of like Billy, he’s a feisty little guy.” McNair Reid was awestruck by Drewitz’ dance abilities during his audition. “We were wowed. We brought him back for the acting and it’s like, you’re Billy.” With Drewitz’s experience as Tiny Tim two years previous, McNair Reid knew he’d be able to carry

a show. “He was able to shine in all the different aspects. He’s just exuberant.” Drewitz said he began dancing at age three, singing in preschool and training in musical theatre at age five. “Everybody in my family has at least done dancing,” he said. “I just fell into dance. It started with me dancing around the kitchen.” Drewitz’s older sister, Roxy, has an extensive background in the performing arts. She was in Storybook Theatre’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat last fall. Her younger brother is following in her footsteps. “This is my really first big role to experience harder and difficult dance steps and learning all those lines. Once you just learn the lines it’s easier and you just flow through the story. I memorized all my lines before I even started the musical because the other Billy’s like 14, so I wanted to get ahead.” Set in working-class England, Billy Elliot tells the story of a young boy who dreams of trading in his boxing gloves for ballet slippers, while his widowed father struggles to
Dex Drewitz understand his son’s passion for dance. Drewitz said that although Billy’s dad enrolled him in a boxing class, Billy ended up walking into a ballet class instead. “He liked the dance class so he came another day,” he said, adding Billy uses the money his dad gave him for boxing lessons to pay for ballet. “Billy was banned (by his dad) but he didn’t care so he still came back and followed his dreams and kept on going.” As young Billy, Drewitz does plenty of singing, dancing and has pages of lines. This meant mis-
sing about a month of school and the playoffs with the Okotoks Oilers Tier 1 Atom team. As for missing school, Drewitz has it all under control. “I was doing really good in school so I only had to catch up on math and big assignments. I will still work hard in school to get a good education so I can get into university.” Drewitz’s experience on stage for opening night made all of his hard work worthwhile. “It was really cool to see how much people were clapping. Everybody was standing up clapping from the start of the bows to the end.”
