Terry Fox Walk attracts all ages for Assiniboia event By Dan Archer Gail Delorme first became interested in working with the Terry Fox Foundation after meeting Betty Fox in Rockglen in 1982. “She never used the donations she received for her own expenses,” Delorme said of Terry Fox’s mother, who helped to develop the Terry Fox Foundation after her son’s death. “That drew me in,” Delorme said. Delorme was also impressed when she received a letter from Fox afterwards, saying “It was lovely meeting you in Rockglen, Gail.” Delorme is one of many organizers across the country who have assisted the Terry Fox Foundation by organizing local Terry Fox Runs. People of all ages are encouraged to partake in these nationwide Terry Fox Runs, regardless of their ages, athletic abilities and socio-economic standings. The Terry Fox Run never poses entry fees or minimum donations, but the foundation asks participants to fundraise or make personal donations to aid the battle against cancer.

In years past, local accomplices in these runs have always convened in the parking lot at the Coop in Assiniboia. The Coop has usually supplied ice cream for the participants after the run. “Southland Co-op has always been generous by welcoming us here,” Delorme said. This year, the walk/run in Assiniboia as per usual began at the Coop then carried up to Dominion, went down Third
Street to the CPR Railway tracks, continued on to the Assiniboia Veterinary Clinic, moved up on Seventh Avenue then shifted over to the Courthouse before returning to the Co-op. “We’ve been doing it for years,” Teri Hanstock said. “We’ve had some family members who’ve had cancer,” she added. The Hanstock family also participate in the annual event to have fun and to remember Terry Fox. This year, Teri was joined by her husband

Axel were also present with her for this year’s walk/run in Assiniboia. Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg in 1958. The athletic young man discovered he had a malignant tumour in his leg in 1977. Fox’s leg was amputated 15 centimetres above the knee. Terry started training for his Marathon of Hope two years later in 1979, envisioning a cross-Canada run with the objective of raising money for cancer research and awareness of this common disease af-
fecting many Canadians. According to estimates, 220,400 new cancer diagnoses and 82,100 cancerrelated deaths will happen in Canada in 2019. Fox’s famous run started in St. John’s Newfoundland in April, 1980, when he submerged his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean. Fox’s Marathon of Hope ended outside of Thunder Bay after running 5,373 kilometres for 143 days in September 1980, when the primary cancer in Fox’s body had spread to his lungs.

Culture Days to be held in Assiniboia

Movie Magic will focus on production of animated films during Culture Days By Dan Archer Assiniboian animator Marie Beaudoin will be directing two discussions on animated films before and after the movie, The Breadwinner, which will be shown at the Olympia Theatre on Sunday, September 29. Movie Magic is an event organized by the Assiniboia and District Arts Council and is scheduled from 1-5 p.m. Attendees at Movie Magic will learn the steps the artists took when producing this film. The informal discussions involving the creation of The Breadwinner will happen in the Kay Kristo Room in the Assiniboia and District Public Library. The event is purposed to show the joy of studying, discussing and
creating films. “I love watching movies, studying them and talking about them,” Beaudoin said. “Creativity is the basis of critical thinking.” Beaudoin also wants younger people to realize the value of studying for arts degrees at a time when many college and university students are being pushed to take degrees deemed by general society to be more practical, such as business, engineering or trades diplomas. Beaudoin decided to structure this brief and casually-themed course to attract younger people to attend a Culture Days event in Assiniboia. There will be general discussions about plotting themes, resolving conflicts in storylines
and uncovering and determining the meaning of the symbolism found in The Breadwinner. “I was thinking about running something more in my field,” Beaudoin answered when asked how the concept of Movie Magic came into fruition. Not to be confused with the Nickelodeon series, The Breadwinners, The Breadwinner is an hour and a half movie which takes place in Afghanistan during the Taliban’s rule in 2001. Parvana, the main character of the movie, is an 11-year-old girl who cuts her hair and dresses like a boy to support her family after her father is arrested by the vicious regime. Although this is an animated feature, Beau-

doin warned the themes in this film are not designed for younger audiences. Beaudoin currently works from her home in Assiniboia for Titmouse Canada – an animated studio in Vancouver. The Montreal-born animator was involved with well known productions such as Captain Underpants. She is also a talented artist with originality, who enjoys juxtaposing adorable imagery with ghoulish themes. “I do illustrative work that mixes my cute animation with my interest in the macabre and my interest in historical fashion.”
By Dan Archer The Assiniboia Art Council is bringing Culture Days to Assiniboia when September comes to a close. There are several events planned for people of all ages who are interested in theatre, cinema arts and music from September 27-29. For sidewalk artists, attend Sidewalk Chalk Art at 1:30 p.m. outside of the Shurniak. A tailgate party outside at the Prince of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre is set for Friday. Gainer the Gopher and Scott Heatcoat will appear from 5-7 p.m. at the outdoor party on the centre’s grounds for tailgaters. Beef on a bun, pop and chips will be sold for $6. The Arcana Kings – the Roughrider’s favourite group – also known as the Johnny McCuaig Band – are the only paid-for-event beginning on September’s last weekend with a performance in the auditorium at the Prince of Wales starting at 7:30 p.m. The majority of gigs planned for Cultural Days in 2019 in Assiniboia are free to attend. Scott Heatcoat will facilitate a theatrical workshop at the Shurniak Gallery on Saturday from 10-11:30 a.m.
On the same day, Heather Hobbs has a memoir writing workshop in the Assiniboia and District Public Library from 1-2 p.m. Chris Jordison, a former graphic artist from Regina who recently had his art shown at the gallery, is scheduled to host an art demo at the Shurniak from 2:30-3:30 p.m. For budding cinematographers, artists, writers and animators, Marie Beaudoin has planned a course titled Movie Magic, which will teach young people how to construct stories for animation features by taking examples from the film The Breadwinner, an animated movie about a girl living in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Movie Magic is running from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, September 29 at the Kay Cristo Room and the Olympia Theatre. This event will feature a showing of The Breadwinner along with studies and discussions led by Beaudoin. The Breadwinner is not recommended for children. More information on the Movie Magic event and filmaker Marie Beaudoin is featured in the accompanying story on this page.

NDP candidate believes in party values By Dan Archer “I’ve been involved with the party for 10 years,” said Trevor Peterson, during an interview in his classroom at the Assiniboia Composite High School. “I believe in the values and policies that the NDP has to offer.” This year, Peterson will be running as the NDP candidate for Cypress Hills-Grasslands. His nomination had recently taken place in Swift Current on September 11. This election hopeful is clearly looking forward to the challenge of running as an NDP candidate in south central Saskatchewan, which generally has right-of-centre constituency. “I’m excited to be a bold, progressive voice for Cypress Hills–Grasslands. I am running to bring accountability to elected office and ensure that people can count on the words and the actions of their Member of Parliament,” Peterson stated in part on the night he won the nomination. Peterson is especially
Trevor Peterson motivated to run in this year’s election, because he’s unhappy with the results of the Trudeau government after a single term in office. “I think democracy is broke. So many people are apathetic.” Peterson is particularly disappointed with Justin Trudeau’s failure to implement proportional representation as he promised in the 2015 election. But the candidate also thinks Canadians in general have perceived the cur-

rent Liberal administration as being untrustworthy and dishonourable. “People are upset with the Liberal scandals,” Peterson said, also saying “There’s too much corporate influence on our democracy,” in reference to the SNC-Lavalin controversy dominating the headlines this year. According to Peterson, the NDP wants to invest in people. The candidate also wants the country to have a strong economic sector as well as a healthy environment, but Peterson is seeking a balance between green initiatives and a progressive but strong economy. “We can’t tackle climate change if we’re going to be leaving people behind,” Peterson said. Peterson, who grew up on a farm near Central Butte, is also very concerned with Canada’s agricultural issues. “I think we have to protect the mandate of the Canadian Grain Commission.” Peterson also dis-
cussed issues such as the plant breeding system. In relation to this, Peterson’s especially worried about corporate agricultural interests in this country who lobbying the government with greater frequency. Peterson is certain multinational agricultural corporations are posing too much of an influence on the current administration. The candidate is enthusiastic about the NDP’s platform, which includes the institution of a national pharmacare program. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh also wants to extend Canada’s healthcare system to include dental, vision and mental health services. Further, Peterson discussed the NDP’s plan to reduce childcare expenses and eliminate the high costs for student loans. Peterson believes the costs for these programs should be financed by cracking down on tax evaders and closing various loopholes embedded in the national tax system.

By Dan Archer The Fife Lake Hotel has often held fundraisers and silent auctions in the past, such as in February of this year, when the pub and hotel organized a sale to support the Kinsmen Telemiracle. The Fife Lake Hotel is holding another charity event on September 21, to provide funds for Bennett Hansen and his family. Bennett is a three-week-old infant who was born in Regina with omphalocele – a condition when the internal organs in the abdominal area are growing outside of the body. An omphalocele is a rare birth defect in which an infant’s intestines or other abdominal organs have escaped the body through a hole in the navel area. The internal organs affected by the abnormality are covered by thin layers of tissue and can be viewed through ultrasound technology. In this case, Bennett’s liver subsists on the exterior of his body. Bennett was born after an emergency C-section, when this physical aberration was discovered during an ultrasound examination. Bennett requires surgery in Regina, but the waiting time for this neces-
sary medical intervention might take up to a year. In the meantime, the baby is staying at the city’s hospital far from his home in Rockglen. Bennett’s father, Jesse Young, works at Young’s Equipment in Assiniboia. Ashley – Bennett’s mother – is a teacher in Assiniboia. Although the father had just returned to work, Ashley Hanson has remained in Regina to be near her son. The fundraiser at the Fife Lake Hotel had been designed to raise the adequate funds to allow Ashely to rent an apartment as the family waits for Bennett’s surgery. “We’re doing a silent auction,” Deb Malesh said. “And we’re doing a live dessert auction too.” Malesh also said almost everything for both auctions is donated from the community. The tickets for the auction running from 5-9 p.m. at the hotel are priced at $25 each. Tickets for the event can be purchased at the hotel or at Young’s Equipment in Assiniboia. The silent auction will include many prized items, such as four tickets for the Roughriders game on November 2 against the Edmonton Eskimos, which will include field access before the game begins.
Knock Knock
Submitted by Pastor Marlin Juell Oasis Outreach Church In the Bible, the early Christians were being persecuted so much, that James was taken by Herod and beheaded. It so pleased the nonChristian people that Herod decided to go after Peter. He was imprisoned and scheduled to the same fate as James. This caused the Christians to pray fervently. They had been praying for James but instead of him being set free, he was murdered. Now this is where the crunch comes. At this point they could have given up and stopped praying, because it appeared not to have worked, but they continued in prayer when Peter was taken. They didn’t let the discouragement of that unfulfilled prayer stop them. They just kept on. Peter was in prison shackled between two
guards, but that didn’t stop him from having a good sleep. Yes, he was sleeping in prison knowing that in the morning he would be beheaded. He had peace in the middle of the storm. In the middle of the night the angel of the Lord came and supernaturally released him from that prison and he walked out a free man. When he went back to the Prayer Warriors, he knocked on the door. Rhoda came to answer and didn’t believe it was him. She forgot to open the door and ran to tell the rest that Peter was back. They didn’t believe her until Peter walked in. Never stop praying or believing, even when some prayers don’t seem to get answered. Stay close to God and never doubt his purposes. We just never know what miracle is knocking just outside the door.

September is a month that stands far apart from others
T
he season existing between summer and winter known as fall – or autumn, if you prefer – officially happens on September 21. But fall is a transitional season starting in Canada at least three weeks earlier than it’s supposed to. At the beginning of September just after Labour Day, every Canadian knows summer will soon dissipate then return from time-to-time until November arrives. Yet, the occasional frozen day in September will always remind us about winter’s imminent arrival. At the end of August, the temperatures transform to cooler temperatures overnight. Sometimes, Canadian Septembers are easily comparable to our winters. With the advent of frost, the leaves on the trees often change their colours soon after Labour Day. September also marks the end of the summer holidays for North American school children. After the Labour Day weekend, the majority of the nation’s children have returned to school. Likewise, Canadian university and college students have started their fall semesters after Labour Day, whereas secondary students in other countries like the United Kingdom often begin their university courses in October. Although the first three weeks of September are considered as officially belonging to summer, almost everyone in Canada would lump the entire ninth month of the year in with the fall season without hesitation. The month’s dipping temperatures and the nation’s schooling dates have always dictated September to be an autumn month rather than the last dregs of summer. Although September was always meant to be the end of summer, this distinction had been given to August instead ages ago. Waving goodbye to summer is always cruel but necessary. With another Canadian winter looming ahead, we’re all expecting weeks of freezing winds, heavy snows and dark, subarctic nights. Still, sometimes in the fall months there’s a reprieve with a brief reappearance of summer lasting a week or more. A French settler in the eastern United States named John de Crevecoeur referred to this period of warm weather in the autumn as an Indian summer in a letter written on January 1778. He was describing a consistent interval of pleasant weather in the so-called New World following the heavy rains in the months of autumn. These days, the label Indian summer lacks historical and cultural legitimacy. In England, the term St. Martin’s summer had been used to reference a period of warm weather in November before the winter settled in. Maybe the term St. Martin’s summer could replace the outdated phrase, Indian summer? But it’s hard to imagine hearing the St. Martin’s summer expression repeated on a consistent basis in Canada, especially since this term is rarely used in England these days. Meanwhile, Septembers in the Southern Hemisphere mean something completely different. In Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, the autumn season starts on March 1 and ends on May 31. But an Australian September is more like a spring month, representing a shift to warmer weather in the daytime. And in a way, since Canadian school children begin their terms in September, this month might be comparable to a spring season in this country too, since this month represents a period of new beginnings. September should really be its own season, as this crucial month can be a bit of fall, summer, winter and spring mixed together. September truly is a misplaced and misunderstood month, but this month’s identity had been twisted since the early days. The name of this remarkable and changeable month originates from a combination of Old English and Latin, with septem (seven) acting as the root word. It seems September had once been the seventh month in the original Roman republican calendar rather than the ninth. So, even since the days of the Romans, September had been a month with multiple and contradictory identities.

Farmers Union: Agricultural policies By Cam Goff, Vice President of Policy for the National Farmers Union While harvest takes top billing in farmers’ minds as they put in long hours, other issues must be considered. Two of the most important problems for producers are Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) attack on farmers’ rights to freely use our own seed and AAFC’s seemingly unsupervised rewriting of the Canada Grain Act, including the Canadian Grain Commission’s (CGC) mandate, to regulate in the interests of producers. Many farmers have a sense of what’s being presented and what’s at stake with the AAFC’s attempt to bulldoze farmers on the seed issue. After years of extensive lobbying by seed industry groups and almost no input from farmers, AAFC presented two completed industry-designed solutions to their fabricated problem. In both cases, End Point Royalties and Trailing Contracts, mean government regulations would be passed to turn control of Canada’s seed system over to corporations, forcing farmers to pay tens of millions of dollars annually to seed companies. These plans could destroy Canada’s public plant breeding system and cause the loss of Canada’s reputation for top-quality grain Now it appears that AAFC has embarked on a similar mission to revise the Canada Grain Act, including the mandate of the CGC. The Grain Act was passed and the CGC was created in the early 1900s to protect farmers from the predatory practices of the grain companies and railroads. The Act and the Commission are the sole remaining institutions that place the interests of farmers at the forefront. With the active participation of the Chief Commissioner of the CGC, AAFC has settled into the CGC’s Winnipeg office, pushing aside the two appointed farmer commissioners. The AAFC has also held multiple meetings with representatives of the grain industry. Industry
leaders and the AAFC have reportedly been preparing a plan to strip farmers of the protections put into place over a hundred years ago. The regulation will be replaced with an industry wish list that will clear the way for the likes of Cargill, Viterra and Bunge to decide the rules of the grain trade. Meetings with some government MPs have revealed a grave concern with this process. Questions have been raised directly with federal Agriculture Minister Bibeau’s office. However, answers about the process and the players involved have been non-existent. This leads to the conclusion that the AAFC staff and the Chief Commissioner of the CGC might have embarked on a revision of both the Canada Grain Act and the Canadian Grain Commission’s mandate, which have both been guided by the wishes of the grain companies. Under these conditions, it is impossible to believe that farmers’ interests will be defended. If this is the case, farmers will end up with another mess like the so-called Value Creation seed royalty debacle. Farmers will again be faced with a stacked deck when AAFC employees trot out a finished product and expect farmers to approve it. All of this brings into question who is determining agricultural policy in our country. Is it the government officials we elect and who are responsible to Canadian citizens? Or is it the unaccountable employees of AAFC, who are allowed to implement corporate agendas to the detriment of farmers? The Minister of Agriculture’s refusal to investigate the serious questions raised by these issues is unacceptable. There is still time for this Minister to step forward and answer the concerns of farmers directly affected. Any review of the CGC and the Canada Grain Act must be immediately stopped, and an entirely new start made only when bona fide farmer representatives are at the table.

Junior Rebels searching for sponsors for 2019-2020 season By Dan Archer The Junior B Southern Rebels will continue to rely on assistance from the Assiniboia community when they play exciting, riveting hockey for the upcoming 2019-2020 season. Each year, the Rebels, who are members of the Prairie Junior Hockey League, rely on the generosity of local businesses and individual sponsors. Moreover, advertising with the Rebels is an excellent way for local businesses to increase their visibility. There are five different sponsorship packages to maintain the Junior B Rebels for the impending season. Platinum sponsors will represent community members who have provided $2,500 to the Rebels. Platinum sponsors will receive full-page ads in the home game programs, as well as signage to be agreed upon and four seasons tickets. Gold sponsors for two full games have aided the Rebels by donating $1,000. Gold sponsors will be awarded with fullpage ads in the home game programs. Gold sponsors will also be featured in public address announce-
ments during the game. Moreover, Gold sponsors will have their names appear on promotional posters. Gold sponsors will also receive four seasons tickets. Silver sponsors for one full game will have assisted the Rebels with $500 contributions. Silver sponsors will also be compensated with half-page ads in the home game programs. They will be mentioned in public address announcements for the duration of the game and their names will appear on promotional posters. Also, Silver sponsors will be remunerated with two seasons tickets. Bronze sponsors for $250 co-game bestowments will gain quarter page ads in the home game programs. They will be mentioned in public address announcements during the game and their names will appear on promotional posters. Bronze sponsors will receive four game passes. The last category of sponsorship is the $100 Seventh Man Sponsorship grouping costing interested parties $100. At each home game, esti-
mated to be 20 games, an Assiniboia Minor Hockey player will be selected to skate in the warm-up with the team. A single game an-
nouncement will introduce the seventh player along with the mention of the sponsor’s business. The sponsor’s name will be printed on the back of
a jersey for the player to wear. The names of those who’ve paid for Seventh Man Sponsorships will be inserted on game programs under the rosters.
For more information on sponsoring the Junior B Rebels, interested parties are asked to contact the Junior B Rebels General Manager, Brett Tiffen.

Favourable weather needed for harvest Despite rainfall and cool weather, producers were able to make harvest progress this week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. Eighteen per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 11 per cent last week, but well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 43 per cent for this time of year. Twenty-five per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut. Warm, windy and dry weather is needed for producers to return to the field. Harvest is most advanced in the southwest region, where 31 per
cent of the crop is now combined. The southeast region has 24 per cent combined and the west-central region 18 per cent. The east-central and northeast regions have eight per cent combined while the northwest region has seven per cent. Eighty-three per cent of fall rye, 79 per cent of winter wheat, 66 per cent of field peas, 63 per cent of lentils, 28 per cent of barley, 10 per cent of durum, seven per cent of spring wheat and four per cent of canola is now in the bin. An additional 36 per cent of canola is swathed or is ready to straight-cut.

things you didn’t know about trucking in Canada
The trucking industry lies at the heart of our country’s economy. There are over 300,000 truck drivers in Canada and over 400,000 people working in the industry. Here are seven more facts and figures about trucking in Canada. 1. The average long-haul trucker logs more than 160,000 kilometres a year. 2. The average big rig can carry more than 35,000 kilograms (80,000 pounds or 40 tons) of weight. 3. The engines of semi-trucks are six times bigger than car engines. They can chug along for more than 1.6 million kilometres, whereas car engines usually give out before logging 300,000 kilometres.

The Canadian trucking industry generates more than $67 billion in revenue each year. 6. Close to 90 per cent of consumer goods in Canada are delivered by truck. 7. Trucking forms the backbone of commerce between Canada and the United States, accounting for about 60 per cent of our crossborder trade.

Planning a hunting or fishing trip? Sask Party cuts are making it harder.
Premier Scott Moe is shutting down 19 field offices and eliminating front-line services that hunters and anglers rely on for licenses, permits, and local expertise. It’s getting frustrating. Whether it’s gutting fishing and hunting services, or removing and privatizing services like STC, the Sask Party keeps cutting our rural services.
Let’s protect our rural services – to protect rural life.

Beatrice Nelson (nee Ching), passed away September 7, 2019 at the Coronach & District Health Centre, Coronach, Saskatchewan, at the age of 94. Beatrice was born January 31, 1925 to Harry and Annie Ching, on NE 19-02-27 W2, Coronach district. She grew up on her parents’ farm and attended school in Coronach. During the Second World War, Beatrice enlisted in the RCAF and served as a driver. She was stationed in the Maritimes, as she was too young to be allowed to go overseas. Her future husband, Nels Nelson served overseas in England for four years. When he returned home, Beatrice and Nels married, on April 6, 1946. The young couple farmed in the Coronach district, raising a family of 5 children: Joan, James, Reginald, Dennis and Lloyd. Beatrice was a skilled seamstress and sewing instructor. She was a member of the WHO Club, U.C.W. and the Legion. She loved gardening, her flowers and quilting - - quilting was her passion. Once retired, Beatrice and Nels spent over 40 winters in Arizona. They enjoyed camping and fishing during the summers in the north. Beatrice is survived by her loving children: Joan Wagner (Ron Aust), James, Reginald (Terry), Dennis (Cathy) and Lloyd (Dawn); 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren: Clair Wagner (Gord Hardwick), Marsh Wagner (Darlene Naka) and Zoe Wagner; Jason Wagner; Blaine Nelson (Michelle) and Alex and Kate; Keith Nelson (Tanya) and Joshua and Matthew; Erin Kowalchuk (Dan) and Draven; Amy Miller (Owen); Andrew Nelson; Vanessa Cremers (Derek); Andrea Power (Kirk) and Bjorn, brother-in-law Harold Siggelkow, and numerous nieces and nephews. Beatrice is predeceased by her parents Harry and Annie Ching, husband Nels, son-in-law Bill Wagner, her sisters: Dorothy Miller (Jack), Florence Nelson (George), Marjorie Franklin (Cliff), Vivian Schendel (Wilfred) and Pat Siggelkow, sister-in-law Emily Beattie (Don) and brother-in-law Henry Nelson (Joyce). A family graveside service will take place at a later date, at Coronach Cemetery, Coronach, Saskatchewan. Donations in memory of Beatrice may be made to the Coronach & Area Health Care Foundation, PO Box 150, Coronach S0H 0Z0. Expressions of sympathy for the Nelson family may be shared at www.rossfuneralservice.com. Arrangements entrusted to Ross Funeral Service, Assiniboia, SK.

Heritage house moved to farm By Dan Archer A home built by Archie and Olga Domes of Verwood in 1925 was moved to a farm near Battle Lake about six and half kilometres north of Assiniboia last year. Because the three-storey house’s roof had such high, cresting arches and an 83.6 square metre attic, Prive Building Movers of Pontiex Ltd. were impelled to use a series of off roads on their journey from Verwood to the house’s present location on Battle Lake’s north shore. Among a series of possible hazards, the house had to pass underneath high voltage lines. So, before the house’s journey began, Prive Building Movers were required to inform SaskTel, which meant a series of delays for the move in March 2018 for safety reasons. After the relocation at Battle Lake, the house with hardwood corridors, doors and stairs fashioned from maple and hemlock fur has retained its European personality with original Art Deco stained glass windows, plas-
ter mouldings, narrow corridors and a curved wooden stairway. Yet Colby Hoglund and Ashley Watteyene are also busy modifying and renovating the heritage home’s interior to suit their family of four children. “We tried to maintain as much of the house’s character as possible, while adding modern conveniences,” said Watteyene. Previously, four generations of the Domes family had lived in the 22-room house in
Verwood since the Booming Twenties. Domes was appreciative to know a new family would be using the home he had grown up in, rather than having the house his parents built destroyed, thus replicating the fate of so many heritage homes across Canada. Herb Domes is certain the house will continue to serve as a home long into the future. “In spite of its age, it still hasn’t reached retirement,” said Domes.

Lee Harding to represent People’s Party of Canada By Dan Archer Lee Harding will represent the People’s Party of Canada as the federal candidate in the constituency of Cypress Hills – Grasslands in this year’s federal election. Originally, he was going to run as a Conservative in 2019, but Harding became disillusioned with Tories over the winter. “I had planned to run. I had every reason. I was going to run as a Conservative,” said Harding. But after spending a winter on Vancouver Island, he became intrigued with the PPC after reading about Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson’s candidacy for Canada’s newest political party started by Maxime Bernier. “I felt that the Conservative
Party were trying to be in favour of the social conservatives, but they were actually against them.” Thompson had been a host on the Christian television program, the 700 Club Canada. She became concerned with British Columbia’s SOGI 123 program designed to make students of all sexual identities and genders welcome in the classroom. Formerly a Conservative supporter, Thompson was rejected by the Conservative Party twice. She is now running as a candidate for the People’s Party of Canada in the Red DeerLacombe riding in Alberta. Harding was intrigued with Thompson’s story, especially since her social
Big Country Co-operative Ltd.
conservative views aligned so closely with his. He also didn’t understand why Thompson was rejected by the Conservative Party, yet she was accepted to run for the People’s Party. Harding decided to switch his allegiance from the Conservative Party to the PPC after a discussion with Thompson. “I phoned Laura Lynn. I asked her, how are they sorting out their candidates?” Harding, who grew up near Lafleche, but currently lives in Swift Current, believes the PPC will influence the Canadian political landscape over a gradual period of time, although interest in the party is continuing to flourish. “I’m up against the Big Blue
Machine, but the People’s Party is growing at a quick rate,” also adding “The real conservatives will gravitate towards me.” Outstanding issues for Harding include lowering taxes, reducing industrial regulations and reducing immigration numbers. Immigration has often become a headlining subject for the PPC. Harding would like Canada to adopt a points system similar to what is being used in countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom, so the country can attract skilled immigrants. “We need to prioritize our immigration for working age people,” said Harding. Previous to his political involvement, Harding spent
four years at Briercrest College in Caronport. He worked in the agricultural industry in Assiniboia from 1997-2001. Harding was also a journalist for various media venues, including CBC, CTV and Global News. Additionally, Harding was the Saskatchewan Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Harding’s connection with federal politics began when he became David Anderson’s Parliamentary Assistant in 2010. Harding earned his Master of Public Policy degree at the University of Calgary and became a Research Fellow for the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. He withdrew from this the think tank to run for office.

Hutch Ambulance makes Mental Health Kits
Submitted by Adine Stang Hutch Ambulance hosted their Appreciation Lunch in June 2019. The ambulance service received many generous donations towards the Mental Health Initiatives in Assiniboia and the surrounding areas. With these funds, Hutch Ambulance decided to make Mental Health Kits to support those in need. Mental Health ties very closely to health and well-being – if one of these aspects deteriorates, the other usually does too. This is why Hutch Ambulance feels it is so important to address not only physical health, but mental health as well. Hutch Ambulance hopes the kits they have made will help people regain their personal well-being and support them in creating and maintaining their wellness. These bags/backpacks may include items such as contact numbers for support services, basic toiletries, blankets and candles, as well as oral health care supplies donated by Wheatland Dental Centre and Gravelbourg Dental. Some bags/backpacks also include a haircut donated by Shear Energy and a haircut or footcare donated by Hair Quarters. Hutch Ambulance realizes
that Mental Health not only affects the individual, but those around them. This is why the ambulance service supplies children’s items. Hutch Ambulance partnered with Nikki Tiffen, Assiniboia’s Mental Health Therapist, to hand out the Mental Health Kits to those
who would benefit from having them. If anyone has concerns for themselves or someone they know, take the first step in making a difference by speaking up. Saskatchewan Health Authority Mental Health and Addictions Services can be reached at 306-691-6464.

Innovative juggler Greg Kennedy will bring a combination of high-energy juggling, clean comedy and unique performance pieces to Assiniboia. Trained as an engineer, Greg uses the principles of geometry and physics to create groundbreaking work with original equipment. He has discovered the excitement and challenge of creating performance art using the fundamental concepts of physics. Kennedy’s shows, which are as mind-boggling as they entertain, illustrate the principles of motion, light, energy and gravity. But these shows also
illustrate the determination and imagination to turn an academic pursuit into a powerful art form. Kennedy has entered the highest-level juggling competition twice, known as the International Jugglers Association Championships. As one of the first jugglers to go viral, he received over 2-million views on YouTube. Also, Kennedy was the original Scientist character in Cirque Du Soleil’s TOTEM, touring with them for five years. Throughout his performance career, he has shared his art with millions of people in over 50 differ-
ent countries. His blend of impressive feats, rapid-paced wit and the pure beauty of motion has amazed audiences everywhere. The themes of Kennedy’s show include acceleration, angle of rebound, balance, centripetal force, elliptical movements, friction gyroscopic stability, gravity, inertia, light refraction, logic, mathematics, nature, optical illusion, pendulum movement, phenomena, physics, science, spectral dispersion and velocity. Kennedy will appear at the Assiniboia Elementary School on Monday, September 23 at 2 p.m.

Families attend Art Night By Dan Archer The Willow Bunch Library hosts Art Night usually on the second Friday of each month for children and parents from 6:308 p.m. At the latest Art Night, the 12-person group of children from all age groups along with mothers, dads and a grandma created paintings inspired by the French Impressionist Monet on September 13 at the Willow Bunch library. “We started this a year ago,” said Barb Gibbons, the town’s librarian. “They come to learn about art and work together.” The projects for the library’s art night change every month. Gibbons also talked
about the art assignment for Halloween, a black cat of course. But the participants are allowed to interpret their monthly subjects at Art Night anyway they wish, because Gibbons wants her young artists to express themselves without having to follow strict guidelines. She talked about a Christmas project which had the group assigned to paint snowmen on old records. Gibbons said some of the snowmen were square or even rectangular. “Kids like to experiment,” Gibbons explained, also saying “They can do what they want to do.” Gibbons believes the library’s art
nights are meant to teach children that art is about individualistic expression. How did the Willow Bunch Library’s Art Night begin? “We started years ago by having a Family Fun Night, but it changed to Art Night when we ran out of ideas,” Gibbons said. “We do lots of art programs,” the librarian added. The art group at the Willow Bunch Library is open to anyone who would like to come out and get involved. The library also hosts a story time on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. with children from Coronach, Fife Lake and other nearby communities attending these sessions regularly.
