Grad student completed Wellness Toolkits to make a difference By Dan Archer Callie Morhart was chosen as the 2020 recipient of the Hayley and Cayden Wourms Memorial Scholarship worth $3,500. Morhart is a 2020 graduate of Assiniboia Composite High School. She is presently a distance student in nurses training, who is taking her courses through the University of Regina. Morhart wanted to introduce positive transformations especially intended for the people in Assiniboia and for the town’s surrounding communities, so she devised a collection of Wellness Toolkits.

The Hayley and Cayden Memorial Scholarship was inaugurated after the mother and child’s unanticipated and heart-breaking passing in 2012 – the family of Hayley Wourms (née Wilcock) created the scholarship in the memory of their daughter and grandson. The Assiniboia community as a whole described Hayley Wourms as a person who also wanted to make a constructive difference in people’s lives much like the young nursing student and winner of this year’s scholarship. Morhart’s idea as part of the scholarship’s requirements was to spend some

of the awarded scholarship money towards developing Wellness Toolkits. Five hundred dollars of the $3,500 was required to be dedicated to her toolkit project. Her toolkits are filled with ideas, tools and techniques on managing various and specific mental health issues. The kits address a serious of topics related to mental health: there’s General Wellness Toolkits, Sleep Toolkits, Self-Harm Prevention Toolkits and Kids Calm Down Kits. She briefly discussed the importance of using different approaches in wellness therapies during the pandemic and why her toolkits would make a difference. “Within the COVID times, I feel people are more stressed than ever,” Morhart said. “The kits are therapeutic and are not super expensive to make either,” she added. Morhart hoped the toolkits would provide templates to assist others in developing their individualized mental health enhancement kits. “My plan is to show the kits to schools then have the students make their own. Making them yourself is the therapeutic part,” Morhart said. “But we can supply the

personal declutter sheets.” Morhart hoped her prototype kits would aid individuals in improving their mental health, wellness and coping skills. She planned to have the toolkits circulated throughout the Prairie South School Division in Assiniboia and the neighbouring communities. Morhart also wanted a set directed to Mental Health and Addiction Services through the SHA to the ther-

apists offering counselling in this specialized field. Morhart will also provide a Kids Calm Down Kit to Assiniboia Child Care Services. In relation to Morhart’s interest in pursuing a nursing career, she is considering the introduction of a toolkit designed for dementia patients as another possibility. Morhart’s awareness in dementia began when she started working as a Continuing Care Aide (CCA) at the

COVID-19 update: 24 new cases, six in hospital, five recoveries and one death There were 24 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on October 11, bringing the total to 2,092 cases. One death was also reported. The newest cases were located in the Far North West (1), Far North East (2), North West (3), North Central (5), Saskatoon (1), South East (1) and Regina (11) zones. Initial public health investigations linked 12 of Sunday’s latest cases to the Gospel Outreach outbreak in Prince Albert. The majority of the new Regina cases appear to be linked to a single apartment complex; residents and management have been advised

on the necessary precautions. Increasing case numbers and a rise in community transmission sparked a call from Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer for renewed vigilance and increased caution. Dr. Saqib Shahab reiterated the recommendation about masks being worn in all indoor public locations, where people outside of your immediate or extended household are present and physical distancing is not possible or is unpredictable. “The power to prevent COVID-19 transmission rests with every resident of Saskatchewan,” Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “The best practices we

recommend proved effective as we flattened the curve in the first weeks of the pandemic. Stay home if you experience even mild symptoms. Maintain physical distancing of two metres. Wear a mask when you may be unable to maintain this distance, particularly in indoor spaces, or as required in workplaces or schools. We are now more than seven months into this pandemic event. All residents should be familiar with these practices and all residents need to follow them at all times,” Dr. Shahab added. Of the 2,092 reported cases, 179 were considered active. A total of 1,888 people recovered.

Saskatchewan Party held an advantage according to polls By Mario Canseco The Saskatchewan Party held a sizeable advantage in the electoral campaign currently underway in the prairie province, a new Research Co. poll has found. In the online survey of a representative provincial sample, 58 per cent of decided voters in Saskatchewan would cast a ballot for the candidate of the governing party in their constituency. The New Democratic Party (NDP) is in second place with 32 per cent followed by the Green Party with two per cent, the Progressive Conservative Party also with two per cent, the Liberal Party with one per cent and the Buffalo Party also with one per cent. The race is currently tight in Regina, where the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP are virtually tied among decided voters (49 per cent and 47 per cent respectively). The governing party is ahead in Saskatoon (54 per cent to 41 per cent and in the rest of the province (65 per cent to 25 per cent). Practically four-in-five decided voters in Saskatchewan (79 per cent) say they are certain of their current choice, while 21 per cent say they may change their mind before election day on Oct. 26. The primary motivation for decided voters in Saskatchewan is a party’s ideas and policies (38 per cent),

followed by the party’s leader (32 per cent), the candidate in the riding (10 per cent), a desire for stability (also 10 per cent), a desire for change (seven per cent) and disgust with other contending candidates (three per cent). “Decided voters who plan to support the Saskatchewan Party are more likely to say that their main motivation is the leader (41 per cent),” said Mario Canseco, President of Research Co. “Conversely, those who plan to cast a ballot for the NDP are more likely to cite ideas and policies (42 per cent).” Almost two thirds of the province’s likely voters (65 per cent) are satisfied with the way Premier and Saskatchewan Party leader Scott Moe has handled his duties, while 18 per cent are not and seven per cent are undecided. Likely voters are divided in their assessment of Official Opposition and NDP leader Ryan Meili (Approve 45 per cent, Disapprove 44 per cent). The rating is lower for Progressive Conservative leader Ken Grey (35 per cent), Green leader Naomi Hunter (32 per cent), Liberal leader Robert Rudachyk (31 per cent) and Buffalo leader Wade Sira (25 per cent). On the “Best Premier” question, Moe holds a commanding lead over Meili (49 per cent to 21 per cent). The other four party leaders are in

single digits. More than a third of likely voters in Saskatchewan (35 per cent) believe the economy and jobs is the most important issue facing the province, followed by health care (28 per cent), the environment (eight per cent) and crime and public safety (five per cent). Moe holds the upper hand over Meili as the best leader to handle eight issues: energy (46-19 per cent), the economy and jobs (45-24 per cent), crime and public safety (4219 per cent), accountability (41-22 per cent), the environment (40-19 per cent), health care (39-30 per cent), edu-

cation (39-24 per cent) and housing, poverty and homelessness (38-23 per cent). Methodology: Results are based on an online study conducted from October 8 to October 10, 2020, among 500 likely voters in Saskatchewan, including 447 decided voters in the 2020 provincial election. The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age, gender and region in Saskatchewan. The margin of error, which measures sample variability, is +/- 4.4 percentage points for likely voters and +/- 4.6 percentage points for decided voters, 19 times out of 20.

Re-Elect

Former RCMP officer, Jason St. Pierre, sentenced for breach By Dan Archer Jason St. Pierre, a former member of the Assiniboia RCMP, was charged with Criminal Breach of Trust on May 22, 2019 after $16,000 disappeared from a charity’s bank account. He returned to the Moose Jaw Provincial Court on October 5 to receive a fourmonth sentence. St. Pierre also obtained a court order to return the missing cash from the account. He also received a one-year probation and must pay the money back in one year.

The charge originated five years ago, when the former officer led a December 2015 fundraising campaign for a local charity in Assiniboia, according to a Saskatchewan RCMP news release. The charity’s bank account was emptied in January 2017, the RCMP said. An investigation revealed more than $16,000 had been withdrawn from the bank account, which was then closed. St. Pierre resigned from the RCMP in June 2018.

Remembrance Day 2020 will be unlike any other

OVID-19 has cast its influence on Remembrance Day Services for November 11, 2020. Regardless of the regulations brought by public health officials to prevent the spread of the virus, we must take the time to remember our veterans on the 11th month, the 11th day and the 11th hour just as we did every other year before COVID-19’s arrival. In a letter dated August 2020, the Legion Dominion Command said “The importance of a live ceremony honouring our veterans and their sacrifices is considered paramount by the Legion, especially during the 75th anniversary of the Second World War.” The 2020 National Remembrance Day Ceremony will be performed live at the National War Memorial on Nov. 11, 2020. However, the Legion Dominion Command recommended branches of local Royal Canadian Legions across the country to follow provincial and federal directions on the limits of outside and indoor gatherings. Two-metre distances were ruled as necessary at all events in Canada. Cadets and Juniors are prohibited from attending ceremonies anywhere in the country. This year, even members of the Canadian Armed Forces received limitations on the numbers of personnel allowed to drill together, including during national parades honouring the veterans on Remembrance Day. On this note, there won’t be any CAF or veteran parades for Remembrance Day 2020, which is tragic. The alterations to this year’s Remembrance Day are unhappy ones, yet these regulations are important to follow as a second wave of the virus has appeared in different parts of Canada since the late summer and early fall. The National Remembrance Day Ceremony is planned to be stripped down to four armed sentries and one sentinel (Nursing Sister) at the National Monument. There’ll be a trumpeter to play the lament, but the 2020 Colour Party will be reduced to the Canadian, Legion, Union Jack, Red Ensign, NATO and UN flags. A Vice Regal Party will stand in front to face the memorial with wreaths. There will be wreath bearers at the national service in Ottawa and the media are invited too, but there won’t be any spectators at this year’s Remembrance Day Services in Ottawa. For the 2020 Remembrance Ceremony, wreath bearers across Canada were asked to preplace their wreaths at their respective monuments and cenotaphs or leave them after the ceremonies concluded. In a sad but hopeful conclusion, the letter from the Legion Dominion Command read: “The modifications we as Legionnaires will experience in our planning and conduct of a Remembrance Day Ceremony are difficult, but not insurmountable. Following the local area restrictions imposed due to the pandemic needs to be paramount in concern of the safety of all involved. However, with a reduction in people at the ceremony location, be it the National Memorial or your local cenotaph, (…) an adjustment in the format will allow us to honour our veterans and the sacrifices made regardless of the pandemic.” This was signed, DEC, Provincial Executive Directors of all Royal Canadian Legion Branches. In previous years, the venue for Assiniboia’s Remembrance Day Services in Assiniboia has usually been St. George’s Parish Hall. Since July 28, 2020, indoor and outdoor gatherings in Saskatchewan had a maximum of 30 people, providing a two-metre separation could be sustained at all times between individuals who weren’t in the same household. The 2020 Remembrance Ceremony in town will be held at the cenotaph outside of the Asaskan Complex starting at 10:30-45 a.m. on November 11 with a limited number of people allowed to attend. Because the wreaths will either being preplaced or left after the ceremony, this year’s gathering held at the cenotaph located near the Assiniboia Town Office will also be much shorter than in preceding years. The limitations on outdoor and indoor gatherings, along with social distancing measures, have transformed important annual events across Canada, including Remembrance Day. Regardless of the 2020 pandemic, Canadians shouldn’t forget to show their respect for our veterans this year on November 11 as in times past, but public safety must be kept in mind too.

Exercise your right to cast a ballot for this year’s election Voting in any election can be a daunting task, but that has been amplified in the year 2020 by pandemic protocols and increased uncertainty about the leadership in our province. Health care is at the forefront and our health care system has been the focus for several months. Families are concerned by our overburdened long-term care facilities and staff. Rural hospitals and clinics have been faced with the threat of closure and disruptions in service during a time when we need access to care more than ever. Parents throughout our 27 school divisions have been overwhelmed by the current situation in classrooms across our province, whether it be related to COVID concerns and how our schools have adapted, class sizes, or resource shortages. MLAs in “safe seats” are under no serious pressure to deliver benefits or any notable action to their constituents. Unfortunately, in a “safe seat” electorate, a lot of people do not feel like their vote will count, so they don’t bother casting a ballot at all. These are volatile times and the upcoming provincial election could turn out to be far more competitive than anyone is anticipating. You have the choice to vote for who will ultimately represent our constituency’s concerns. If you want to see

change, you must vote for a chance to have other voices heard. Voters need to make an informed choice, not just a comfortable or familiar one. We in Wood River need a voice in the legislature influencing what is going on in our hospitals, in our long-term care facilities, in our clinics and in our schools. NDP candidate Roger Morgan has lived in small-town Saskatchewan his entire life. As an educator and expert in delivering distance learning, he knows firsthand the impacts of cuts to our education system. He has heard the concerns of residents about the impact the uncertainty of our rural health care options has on families. His leadership has been exemplified through his roles in municipal politics and as a dedicated volunteer to keep programs in our community thriving. Applications to vote by mail must be received by October 15. Advanced polls will run from October 20 to 24 from noon until 8:00 each day. Polling stations open on election day, October 26, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. In whatever way you choose to exercise your right to cast a ballot, vote! Ensure our concerns are heard by our leaders. Keep democracy alive. Candace Brisebois Kincaid, SK

6 Assiniboia Times, Assiniboia Saskatchewan -- October 16, 2020

Our Town Emily Brontë topped science when she described Saskatchewan’s Octobers By Dan Archer Scientifically speaking, autumn affects the leaves on trees because the hours of daylight dwindle whenever summer ends – the reduction in hours of sunshine begins in late August in Saskatchewan. In the fall, the daylights interchange with darker, cooler nights, causing the chlorophyll levels in trees to lessen. The leaves on the trees from September-November across Canada undergo chemical reactions as the flow of nutrients inside them decline along with a degeneration in chlorophyll synthesis. When the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves drop, colourful substances always present, but masked by their green exteriors during the springs and summers, start to gain visibility. Emily Brontë’s words gave the season a deeper and more profound picture of the time of year some call the fall and others define as autumn. In Canada, autumn and fall are interchangeable, once more describing the nation’s general affirmation of mixing British and American English. The English novelist and poet seemed to refer to both terms as well, when she described the chilly season between summer and winter, with fall appearing to represent both the season and the verb in her poem, Fall, leaves fall. Fall, leaves, fall. Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away; Lengthen night and shorten day; Every leaf speaks bliss to me Fluttering from the autumn tree. I shall smile when wreaths of snow Blossom where the rose should grow; I shall sing when night’s decay Ushers in a drearier day. Emily Brontë, West Yorkshire, 1818-1848 In Assiniboia, the fall colours last Friday recalled the 19th century author’s words on walks near trees and shrubbery decorated with orange, red and golden hues on a bright, but nippy October 9 with temperatures ranging from 11-7 C throughout the day. Although sunny, Friday afternoon experienced cold winds developing from the north and northwest – the winds were stronger in the early part of the afternoon then eased by 6 p.m. Saturday’s weather was forecasted to be sunny with slight winds from the south and warmer temperatures extending from 11-28 C. Next weekend from Oct 17-18, the temperatures were predicted to chill from 3 to -6 C with the possibility of flurries in the forecast. If a reader has a favourite autumn/fall photo, they are invited to send them to reporter@assiniboiatimes.ca. Please include your name and the place and date where the photo was taken. Ensure the photos haven’t been reduced in size before sending them.

RCMP Roving Traffic Unit seized methamphetamine, cocaine near Herbert A member of the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Roving Traffic Unit was working near Herbert. The member stopped an eastbound vehicle for having tinted windows and tinted taillights on October 2 at around 6:30 p.m. During the traffic stop, the officer found the lone male occupant in possession of a pack of unstamped tobacco. Andrew Jay Anderson, 35-years-old of Regina, was subsequently arrested by the officer for possessing the unregulated tobacco. A search of the vehicle incidental to Anderson’s arrest resulted in the seizure of half a kilogram of methamphetamine, 18 individual half-gram bags of suspected cocaine, approximately $1,600 in Canadian currency, brass knuckles, a taser and a collapsible baton. Anderson was charged with the following of-

Multi-tasker David Marit, MLA and Saskatchewan Party candidate for Wood River By Dan Archer David Marit is the Saskatchewan Party candidate for the 2020 provincial election on Oct. 26. Marit is a politician and former agricultural producer. He became the MLA for Wood River on April 4, 2016. Previous to Marit’s appointment, Yogi Huyghebaert served as the MLA for the southern Saskatchewan constituency created by the Representation Act of 1994 out of the former constituency of Assiniboia-Gravelbourg along with half of Shaunavon’s district. Marit had been an ag producer in South Central Saskatchewan for most of his life until 2019. In addition, Marit has worn many hats in the provincial government. Moreover, he’s served in local levels of

government as well. During his term as an MLA, Marit has taken on a variety of portfolios. Marit became the Minister of Highways and Infrastructure on August 23, 2016. He also acted as the Minister responsible for SaskBuilds and Priority Saskatchewan. Two years later, Marit was appointed as the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister for the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation on August 15, 2018. Previous to his involvement in provincial politics, Marit functioned on the RM Council in 1993. He was elected to the SARM Board (Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities) in 1999. Marit the SARM president from 2006-2014 until winning the nomination for the Saskatchewan Party

in Wood River. When Marit acted as the SARM president, he took particular care in voicing concerns over the maintenance of rural roads in the prairie provinces, further noting the lack of transportation options producers in Saskatchewan had as railways were limiting their lines through the province and elevators were transforming into centralized outfits. When he was the president of SARM, Marit wrote an article in the November 11, 2010 issue of the Western Producer, outlining his apprehensions over the state of roads and bridges in rural Saskatchewan, since producers and everyday motorists relied so heavily on their upkeep. “In landlocked provinces such as Saskatch-

ewan and Alberta, reliable and safe road infrastructure is vital to the survival of commerce and industry. Few transportation options exist besides roads. “Rail line abandonment and elevator consolidation over the past 15 years means thousands more trucks are using our road and highway system. Also, the wear and tear on our roads is greater than ever before, because the allowable weights for trucks have increased due to marketplace demands. “The industries housed in rural areas generate positive economic benefits to all levels of government through the revenues they generate, the people they employ, the taxes they pay, etc. These industries depend on rural roads for safe and efficient transportation of required materials and in transporting

their goods to market. “If rural roads are not maintained and replaced to a safe and reliable stan-

dard, businesses and local, provincial and federal governments will feel the negative impacts.”

David Marit is the Saskatchewan Party candidate for the 2020 provincial election on Oct. 26.

Ken Grey, the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, was recently asked why the PC party didn’t have hundreds of billboards and maildrops everyday. “First, we are a true conservative party – while we are spending on certain advertising, we are doing it prudently and strategically. We want to run our campaign the same

way we would run a government – responsibly.” “The SaskParty and NDP will be flooding your mailboxes with flyers, radios with commercials and of course a couple hundred thousand spent on billboards between the two parties. Megalithic spend parties,” Grey said. “Most of the material will end up in landfills after 28 days. The signs will come down and the millions and millions will have been spent battling the election. The Sask-

Party has grown so large and corporate that they even hired robot Kate to help out,” Grey added. “Additionally, both the NDP and SaskParty are using tax dollars through their caucus offices to pay for much of the advertising. This while their parties sit on millions of dollars in out of province and union donations.” “We will be spending our election budget promoting our candidates and promoting our platform,” Grey further outlined.

“We have a great team and we are getting the word out as economically and strategically as possible. People already know our presence and we’ve been hearing a lot of discord at the doorsteps.” “We want Saskatchewan people to know there are more than two options. The NDP are weak as an opposition and the SaskParty spends with zero control. We need a real true conservative choice to take on the mega-spend SaskParty,” the PC leader concluded.

Insulin Pump Program

Sask. Party will expand support of cost of living

Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe announced a number of initiatives to help out seniors on Screen capture from Scott Moe’s Facebook page Oct. 8. He was speaking in North Battleford.

Lower ambulance fees, more care aides for seniors promised by Sask. Party Submitted by Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe rolled out his party’s seniors’ platform on Oct. 8 in North Battleford, promising to reduce the cost of some ambulance fees and increase home care staffing. “We’ve heard concerns from many seniors and their families about the cost of ambulance services, especially the cost of transfers from one hospital to another in an ambulance.” He promised a reelected Saskatchewan Party government would reduces those costs, saying, “we will completely eliminate the charges for inter-hospital transfers for seniors and we will further reduce the maximum costs of other ambulance calls for seniors by over 50 per cent. We will reduce the cap from $270, down to $135 per call. We want to reduce the financial burden for seniors who may be experiencing a health care emergency.” Moe continued, “The second measure that we are making today relates to the Seniors Income Plan. When the Saskatchewan party was first elected in 2007, the Seniors Income Plan was only $90 a month. In fact, it had been stuck at $90 a month for the entire 16 years the NDP were in office. This is the benefit that helps low income seniors. The NDP never increased it once in 16 years. Since 2007, the Saskatchewan Party government has tripled the seniors income from $90 to $270 per month. Now we think it’s time to help low-income seniors in Saskatchewan by increasing it yet again. Over the next four years we will boost the seniors’ income plan benefit to $360 a

month. It will be a 33 per cent increase for about 14,000 Saskatchewan seniors and four times what it was when the Saskatchewan Party formed government in 2007.” The third initiative Moe announced regarded longterm care facilities as well as those receiving homecare services. “Our plan is to hire an additional 300 continuing care aides.” “They help seniors with their mobility, with their personal care, with their meals and with their medication. They do crucially essential work. And they do it with compassion and they do it with commitment. And we all know they’ve been asked to do even more, over the course of the past number of months as they have protected residents, yet again from this global pandemic.” Long-term care facilities would see 180 of the new continuing care aides. Moe said that’s the equivalent of adding one additional aide for every 50 long-term care residents. The other 120 continuing care aides will provide homecare services across the province, he said. When fully implemented the cost of these three initiatives will be about $36 million a year, according to Moe. “Together, these measures will make life more affordable for our Saskatchewan seniors, our family members, which is one small way for us to say thank you for all that they have done for our province and to ensure that our seniors have the resources they need to live active, engaged lives with dignity and lives with purpose,” he said. Moe thanked people across Saskatchewan for working to protect sen-

iors from the spread of COVID-19, which is particularly dangerous to elderly people. Moe urged people to avoid out-of-province travel. “I would ask you to continue being careful, especially around our elderly family members. Continue with your physical distancing and wearing a mask when that distancing is not available. Continue to wash your hands and cleaning those common touch areas. And I would say just one person should serve the food at Thanksgiving dinner this weekend. You’re doing so well here in Saskatchewan. Let’s not let our guard down right now.” The NDP responded in an email saying, “Scott Moe and the Sask. Party are letting seniors down. In 2016, without warning or care, they began clawing back the Seniors Income Plan from low-income seniors and seniors living with a disability, taking support away from seniors who needed it the most. “These cuts were made after the last election in the name of budget austerity – the exact same

theme Scott Moe and the Sask. Party are running on this campaign, which is downright dangerous during a pandemic.” The NDP said the Saskatchewan Party had “jacked up the costs of prescriptions for seniors,” cut programs that helped low-income seniors afford things like hearing aids and hiked fees for long-term care.

A re-elected Saskatchewan Party government promised to support those with the costs of living associated with diabetes. The government said they would expand the Saskatchewan Insulin Pump Program and cover the cost of Continuous Glucose Monitoring systems for children under 18 – this announcement was made on Oct. 7. “We understand that people with diabetes face unique challenges, so the Saskatchewan Party wants to help them manage their diabetes by reducing some of the financial burden,” said Premier Scott Moe. “We will do that by covering the cost of insulin pumps for all ages and covering the cost of continuous glucose monitoring for children and youth.” The current Saskatchewan Insulin Pump Program introduced by the Saskatchewan Party government, covers the cost of insulin pumps and supplies for Saskatchewan residents under the age of 25 with Type 1 Diabetes. Eliminating the age restriction and expanding

the program to cover all ages is expected to benefit about 400 individuals. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems are a comparatively new technology allowing users and those they share the information with like parents and caregivers, to monitor glucose levels in actual through the day and obtain the data via technology like smart phones. Access to this technology would be helpful for parents with young children – they would be enabled to monitor their child’s glucose levels throughout the day, including when the child is asleep. The incremental cost of the two programs is expected to be about $4.6 million per year, with slightly higher costs for the Saskatchewan Insulin Pump Program during the program’s initial expansion. “Making life more affordable and helping Saskatchewan residents manage their diabetes – it’s part of our plan for a strong Saskatchewan,” said the premier.

NDP release “People First” election platform Submitted by Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter During an election platform held in Saskatoon, NDP Leader Ryan Meili released the “People First” platofrm. “This past six months has really shown the strength of Saskatchewan people. People have stepped up in remarkable ways to keep each other safe and to help each other out.” “The government hasn’t stepped up in the same way. They haven’t had our backs the way that they should. We need a premier that won’t ignore the problems Saskatchewan is facing. We need a government that understands what Saskatchewan people are going through, time and again. Scott Moe and the Sask Party have shown us that he isn’t that premier, that they aren’t that government.” He continued, “This election, the people of Saskatchewan have a clear choice. A choice between austerity, cuts, privatization, more bad decisions, more broken promises, or a government that will make the investments to put people first. Get our economy moving, generate the revenue need to pay for what matters most. And to help each other out through this difficult time. The cuts on offer from Scott Moe are a bad idea

anytime. But right now, they’re downright dangerous. Unfortunately, that’s all that’s on offer from the Sask Party. It’s all they’ve got. They’re out of ideas and spinning their wheels. They’re satisfied and the only thing they have to offer, the people of Saskatchewan are more empty promises and deeper cuts.” The NDP promised to “appoint a panel of experts to open the Sask. Party’s books, tell the true story of our finances and advise us on how to build our province back stronger than ever.” The NDP promise to end short staffing in primary care, long-term care and acute care by hiring 100 doctors, 150 registered nurses, 300 licensed practical nurses and 500 continuing care aides. Better home care would allow seniors to stay in their homes longer. Minimum care standards would be implemented in longterm care facilities. There would be an independent “Seniors Advocate.” Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw and Prince Albert would see dedicated mental health emergency rooms. A $2 million opioid and crystal methamphetamine strategy would be implemented, along with a $5 million suicide prevention strategy. Addiction treatment would get an additional $10 million. Public health would be given

$1.5 million to prepare for future outbreaks. Insulin pumps for Type 1 diabetics would be covered, as would continuous glucose monitoring for minors. For education, smaller class sizes would be a priority, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The NDP would fund 1,000 more teachers, 700 more educational assistances and 400 caretakers. There would be 50 school-based mental health and addiction nurses hired as well as other mental health supports. The NDP would spend $3 million on a rural education strategy for small-town schools. The NDP would implement “affordable and accessible $25/day childcare, fix the childcare subsidy and create 2,200 new spaces each year to help struggling families.” Student loan interest would be eliminated. Children leaving foster care would get free tuition. Funding would be restored to the Northern Teacher Education Program and First Nations schools would receive equal funding. On the economic front, several points would specifically undo recent Sask. Party initiatives. The Saskatchewan Transportation Company would be rebuilt and a film tax credit would be restored. Labour legislation would be changed “so that workers can join

unions, have safe workplaces and get fair contracts from employers.” Crop insurance rates would be lowered for new farmers to help them get started and $20 million per year would be provided to increase AgriStability reference margins. The NDP would remove the PST from construction labour and improve rural high-speed internet and cellular service. SGI would lower rates roughly $85 per vehicle and provide a $100 rebate for all policy holders. Pay equity legislation would be enacted and a $15 per hour minimum wage would be implemented, phased in over the first term. A provincial “Buy Saskatchewan” campaign would be initiated. Improved recognition of foreign credentials would be implemented for new Canadians. A retraining program worth $10 million would be put into place. A provincial government and Crown corporation internship program would be created. By 2030, the NDP would see Saskatchewan move to 50 per cent renewable and non-emitting electricity generation, with a legislated target of 100 per cent emissions-free electricity by 2050. Geothermal power production would be encouraged, as would small-scale power generation, including municipal, First Nation and Metis

communities generating their own power. In a broader context, under “All of us, together,” the NDP would spend $10 million acting on the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. They would work with the federal government, First Nations and Metis governments to “close the gap in health, employment, justice and education between Indigenous and nonIndigenous people.” There would be a $5 million poverty reduction strategy and doubling of a gang-prevention strategy. The child welfare system would be reformed. A Ministry of Northern Affairs would be reimplemented. Dress codes at work that make women feel less safe, like mandatory high heels, would be banned. Legislation would officially recognize gaystraight alliances “to ensure safety and support for all our students.” Children would be taught “respectful relationships, including the importance of consent.” The NDP would “eliminate predatory lending through a cap on interest rates and a cap on cheque cashing fees.” There would be a disabilities strategy and restoration of the family class for the Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program. On the political front,

the platform states, “Our top priority is finally making it illegal for people from outside of Saskatchewan to donate to political parties and banning corporate and union donations.” The NDP would call a public inquiry into the Global Transportation Hub and Regina Bypass. Stronger conflict-of-interest rules would be brought in for MLAs. All lobbying would be made public. The Provincial Auditor would report on the state of the province’s finances prior to each election. On “Building Saskatchewan,” the NDP would focus on a “Sask-First procurement policy.” Instead of building “megaschools,” the NDP would build small local schools and end the use of publicprivate partnerships for government projects. The NDP would also “clear the $5 billion backlog on upkeep for our schools and hospitals, starting by increasing spending on deferred maintenance in health care and education infrastructure by 50 per cent.” The 22-page document is “fully costed and have been reviewed” by Rob Gillezeau, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics, University of Victoria. There’s no reference to balancing the books within the next four years.

Information on Proposed Wind Energy Project In response to SaskPower’s 2020 Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to develop wind energy projects in the province, the Golden South II Energy Project (the “Project”) is being proposed for development in the area. The Project is located approximately 5km west of Assiniboia and will have a proposed generation capacity of up to 50MW.

Meili: Sask companies, workers should build power plant Submitted by Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter With a new power plant soon to be built by SaskPower near Moose Jaw, the Saskatchewan New Democratic leader emphasized that Saskatchewan companies and workers should be doing the job. It’s a point he’s repeated many times in recent weeks, as part of the party’s “Sask. First” platform. “We know there’s a SaskPower power plant set to be built here in Moose Jaw.

And they’re down to two proponents, both American companies and one of those proponents is Burns & McDonnell. Burns & McDonnell built the power plant in Swift Current. Only 20 per cent of the money from that project went to Saskatchewan companies at all. Only 44 per cent, not even half of the workers on that job, were from Saskatchewan. I was out there when it was getting built. You walked through the parking lot and the licence plates were from all over the place and very few from Saskatchewan.”

Burns & McDonnell’s website notes how they were the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm for the 353-megawatt natural gasfired Chinook Power plant, as well as recent work on the Queen Elizabeth Power Station in Saskatoon. The company has dozens of offices across the United States, as well as Toronto and Calgary offices. It is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. Its projects also include designing a neutrino detector for the Fermi National Accelerator

to try. And you know why? Because his party gets all kinds of donations from out of province companies. He doesn’t want to change what’s helping fund his electoral hopes. New Democrats want to put Saskatchewan first when it comes to procurement, because it’s all about our workers. It’s all about putting people first.” He pointed out how the Regina Bypass, a 40-kilometre flat road built around a prairie city, was built by a company from France, saying that it “doesn’t make any

Sask. Party will increase support of autism programs Submitted by Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter T h e S a s k a t c h ew a n Party announced it would increase support for children with autism, if they are re-elected to government. Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe made the announcement at the Saskatoon Autism Behavioural Analysis Treatment Centre on October 6. Moe said, “When we first came to office in 2007, the former NDP government was providing just about $500,000 to help families who’ve been affected by autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. We knew this amount was nowhere near what was required by those families. We’d heard that from parents and we had heard that from all of the dedicated and committed people working in the autism community. So, from the very beginning, it has been a priority for the Saskatchewan party to increase support for autism services in the province. “Since 2007 we have boosted funding to $12

million a year. That’s 24 times what was provided under the NDP.” “Three years ago, we delivered on an election on an election promise to provide individualized funding to parents with children under the age of six who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. We wanted to provide parents with the flexibility to choose the services that would benefit their child. Individualize funding does just that, and allows for that. In 2018 we provided $4,000 a year to purchase those services. Since then, we have increased it to $6,000 and in the most recent budget, now doubled that support to $8,000 per year,” Moe said. “Beginning in 2021, children under the age of 12 who had been medically diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder will now be eligible for individualized funding of $6,000. Parents will be able to choose from a range of therapeutic interventions and supports that may benefit their child. And we plan to consult

vice up until age six.” “But after age six, they still need some support. So that’s where you know things like speech pathology. A lot of kids still need speech pathologists. They still need behaviour analysts like ourselves, who are either working on behavioural issues or things like anxiety and things like that that kids are struggling with in school. Helping school teams is a lot of what we do in those years. “So, this is really, really important for those kids that didn’t have sort of missed out on intervention, too. There’s some of those kids that kind of missed out on the intervention, but the kids that had intervention up until that point and then were able to continue that care further on for those kids. It’s super important for them,” Hill said. Moe said there is strength in collaboration on providing flexible supports for families. Autism’s most-obvious signs tend to appear between two and three years of age.

with parents and stakeholders to determine whether the list of eligible for services should be expanded to include other supports that may be available in our communities as well.” “Right now, about 500 children with ASD are receiving individualized funding. We estimate that with these expansions, the number of children eligible will triple. So, when it’s up and running, we expect a total of 1,500 children in Saskatchewan will receive individualized funding for autism services and the cost of about $6 million per year.” Moe said this is just the next step in enhancement of autism support. Shannon Hill, one of the owners of the Saskatoon Autism Behavioural Analysis Treatment Centre as well as a behavioral consultant, said, “This type of funding is really crucial for those schoolaged kids, because what’s happening now is, we’re seeing preschoolers come to us and because of the funding, we’re able to offer them a continued ser-

14 Assiniboia Times, Assiniboia Saskatchewan -- October 16, 2020

Roger Morgan will represent the NDP in Wood River By Dan Archer There’s two famous Roger Morgans in modern history. London-born Roger Ernest Morgan played as a winger in the English Football League with Queen’s Park Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur in the 1960s and 1970s. Then there’s Roger Morgan in Saskatchewan – he’s been chosen to run as the NDP Wood River Candidate for the 2020 provincial election on Oct. 26. Morgan taught school for 33 years out of Val Marie, Kincaid and the vir-

tual classroom. He’s educated students throughout South Central Saskatchewan from Coronach, Assiniboia, Rockglen, Mossbank, Glentworth, Mankota, Lafleche and Gravelbourg. Morgan has also taught school throughout the province. Recently, Morgan assisted in developing the initial online resources for the province as the Ministry of Education assembled their initial virtual school. Like the English footballer, the Saskatchewan

Morgan is a passionate enthusiast and advocate for sports and recreation. Morgan’s spent a significant part of his life promoting the growth of sports in Saskatchewan’s schools. Morgan served nine years on the Saskatchewan High School Athletics Association’s executive

(SHSAA) including four years as its president. He’s coached and officiated at several sports events over the past 35 years, including football, basketball, hockey, track and field, softball, baseball and volleyball. Morgan received the Merit Award from the SHSAA in 2016, the Prov-

incial Service Award from the SHSAA in 2004 and the Prime Minister’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2001. He’s also been a volunteer and leader in the Kincaid, assisting as the village’s mayor for two terms and acting as treasurer on the Kincaid Parks and Recreation committee

and the Kincaid and District Rink Board. Morgan was raised in Shellbrook. His wife, Suzanne, grew up on a farm near Glentworth. The couple have made Kincaid their home for the past 30 years, where they raised two children, Robyn and Brandon.

SHA to phase in ‘Return to Hockey’ T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Hockey Association released guidelines on Thursday for hockey to return beyond the current capacity of evaluations and practices. To ensure a successful 2020-21 hockey season, from beginning to end, the SHA Safety Guidelines states that it is the “responsibility of every player, coach, team official and spectator to ensure they are following the public health measures and doing their best to control the spread of COVID-19.” T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Hockey Association is implementing a phased-in approach for minor hockey in the province. The “Return to Hockey” plan will include four phases, which must be approved by the Chief Medical Officer before proceeding to the next phase. Currently most SHA teams are in Phase 1, which is evaluation and training. Phase 2 is for senior, junior, Under 18, Under

15 and Under 13 teams, where exhibition games can begin as of Oct. 17. The exhibition season is limited to a group of four teams, or 50 players. Then, as of Nov. 1, other SHA league games

can start with slight minileague restrictions in Phase 3, which would be a maximum of six teams or 80 players. Phase 4 is an expanded league, which can include up to eight teams or 120 players, and

has a tentative start date of Jan. 18, 2021. Dates, procedures and protocols may change as deemed necessary by the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Hockey Association.

Raymond Charles Kirkpatrick

November 29, 1919 September 29, 2020 Raymond Charles Kirkpatrick, a proud veteran of World War II, passed away quietly on September 29, 2020 at the age of 100 at Providence Place in Moose Jaw. Born in Truax, Saskatchewan, the 2nd oldest of 7 children, he fondly remembered his growing up with his siblings, with the prairie as their playground. He received his education at Sanderson School. Raymond volunteered to serve his country during the Second World War, enlisting in the British Columbia Armoured Corps from 1941 - 1944. He was a proud member of the Royal Legion for many years. Raymond and Eileen McCabe married on October 23, 1945, Lafleche, Saskatchewan. After a few years of moving about, they settled permanently in Lafleche, Eileen’s home community, and remained for the rest of their lives, raising 10 children and energetically supporting the community. Raymond was a believer in the co-operative movement and spent his career working at the Co-op store in Lafleche. Raymond believed it was so important to salvage and promote our local history and was involved in the establishment and maintenance of the Lafleche Museum. Many of his happiest hours were spent working and thinking about the Museum. Raymond lived his life with acceptance of what he was presented, with joy in his family and strong faith in The Lord. The family would like to acknowledge and thank the staff on St. Vincent ward at Providence Place as well as the staff from Spiritual Care. The kind and gentle care they provided dad during his time there gave him a safe, warm, and loving home in his final years. Raymond is survived by his children: Leonard (Irene) Kirkpatrick, Janet (Herb) Tressel, John Kirkpatrick, Ralph Kirkpatrick, Marian (Jim) Kleckner, Murray (Cathy) Kirkpatrick, Floyd (Beth) Kirkpatrick, Vince Kirkpatrick, Terrence (Cathy) Kirkpatrick, Brian Kirkpatrick; grandchildren Lisa (Wilf), Lori, Randy (Michelle), Greg (Jackie), Kim, Chris, Tracy (Richard), Christine (Shane), Michael (Krista), Jennifer, Katie (Kevin), Rebecca (Blayne), Kaylee (Jeremy), Kevin, Chloe, Eilysh (Linden) and greatgrandchildren and a great-great-grandchild; sister Louise (Remo) Forer; brother Jim Kirkpatrick. He is predeceased by wife Eileen (nee McCabe) Kirkpatrick (2013); sister Adele; brothers Frank, Roy and Gordon. A Prayer Service was held on Wednesday, October 7, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. A private family Funeral Mass was celebrated on Thursday, October 8, 2020, 1:00 p.m. both at Ste Radegonde Roman Catholic Church in Lafleche, Saskatchewan. Celebrant was Father Carlos Jimenez. Cross Bearer was Marian Kleckner. Readers were Eilysh Kirkpatrick and John Kirkpatrick. Prayers of the Faithful were shared by Murray Kirkpatrick. Active Pallbearers were Kevin Kirkpatrick, Lori Kirkpatrick, Daylen Hartz, Greg Tressel, Chris Tressel and Kim Tressel. Interment Lafleche Roman Catholic Cemetery Lafleche, Saskatchewan.

Submitted by Farm Credit Canada Cranberries have been a staple at family gatherings ever since Indigenous people introduced the bitter berry to European colonists in the 15th century – now they warm the hearts of millions of Canadians, especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Quebec’s cool climate and short growing season allow organic cranberries to thrive in the region. Cranberries are traditionally sweetened and cooked or dried to reduce some of their tartness, so they won’t leave a bitter taste in your mouth. For many Quebec producers, the bitter berry offers a sweet taste of success. North American cranberry harvesting began in the early 18th century and has developed over the years to the point where Quebec’s cultivated acreages now includes more than 10,145 acres, of which 3,944 acres are organic.

of Quebec’s production being organic, the province is now the global leader in organic cranberry production. The province scores second for non-organic production after Wisconsin in the United States. The cranberry industry has faced several challenges in the last decade. The most significant challenge has been oversupply leading to price pressures for growers. Despite profitability challenges, Quebec cultivated acres climbed 79 per cent between 2009 and 2019, reaching 65 per cent of the total Canadian production. British Columbia accounted for 29 per cent of the Canadian market in 2019. Ontario and the Atlantic provinces rounded out the cultivated acres in Canada. The productive bogs in B.C. are challenged by the mild winters, making weed control a constant battle. However, when all conditions are favourable, B.C. produces a high-quality

berry. Cranberries can be eaten in many forms: fresh, dry, in sauce, jam, juice or in capsules. The demand for organic dried cranberries is strong. A consensus amongst producers is the growth prospects are good and acres are expected to increase year over year, but at a slower pace than in the last decade. Vincent Godin, cranberry producer in Quebec, co-owner of Emblem Cranberry and president of the Quebec Cranberry Growers Association, said he expected the 2020 crop to be a bit lower than in the past two years in terms of volume, but it’s normal as cranberry plants produce more berries in the second year of a twoyear production cycle. “The stock is low too in the U.S. and in Canada, so it

should be good on the price producers will get this year,” he said. “With the climate change in the U.S., Quebec becomes the ideal region for the production of cranberries. The future is bright for our sector here.” “To produce cranberries, it takes sand, water, a lot of patience, deep pockets and a strong business plan,” said Pierre-Étienne Parent, Farm Credit Canada (FCC) senior relationship manager, who specializes in cranberry operations financing. “It may take five years for a new cranberry field to be productive. The key to success resides in the soil preparation and smart management of the critical harvest period. This is a large-scale and unique production that we should be very proud in Canada.”

18 Assiniboia Times, Assiniboia Saskatchewan -- October 16, 2020

Crop survey to be launched this fall Submitted by Chelsea Sutherland University of Saskatchewan researchers will launch Crop Rotation Survey workshops this fall. Dr. Stuart Smyth and his research team will be hosting workshops across the province for Saskatchewan farmers to gather data on how crop production practices have changed over the past 25 years. The purpose of the Crop Rotation Survey is to benchmark changes and advancements made in crop production over the 25-year period from the early 1990s to most recently. The data will be used to quantify the progress made by Saskatchewan farms towards environmentally sustainable practices and to share information with government and the public about the improvements in crop production sustainability. To gather the data, workshops will be held across Saskatchewan this fall. Farmers are invited to attend and provide information on all aspects of their production practices, from seeding, fertilizer, tillage and chemical applications to harvest, during the per-

iods of 1991-1994 and 2016-2019, though farmers do not need to have been farming in both periods to participate. Farmers are encouraged to bring farm records to the workshops to help fill in details of the production practices employed during these periods. Participation in the Crop Rotation Survey helps give farmers a voice when it comes to GHG emissions, carbon sequestration and environmental stewardship of the land and soil. While farmers are working hard to adopt innovative and sustainable practices, these efforts often go unrecognized. The adoption of many sustainable practices has taken place in the absence of government involvement or mandates, yet agricultural and environmental policies often do not seem to account for the contributions made by farmers to Canada’s climate change goals. For more information about the Crop Rotation Survey or to register for one of the workshops, please visit the Crop Rotation Survey Facebook page, the SAIFood website, or email chelsea.sutherland@usask.ca.

Saskatchewan continued to experience a warmer than usual autumn this year, with 20 to 18 degrees Celsius averages in the southern parts of the province that were recorded earlier this week. The weather was expected to gradually cool off by mid-October and fall to single digits by the mid-month. Above is a scene outside of the hamlet of Scout Lake, which is 31.9 kilometres south of Photo by Dan Archer Assiniboia on Highway 2.

Sask Cattlemen’s meetings move online Due to COVID-19 restrictions and the impacts on the ability to plan the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association’s (SCA’s) fall meetings, they have moved to a virtual format for 2020. Planning realities along with continued hotspots made the 11 meetings scheduled for Oct. 19 with people travelling across the province inadvisable. “This is disappointing,” said SCA chair Arnold

Balicki. “These are important meetings for producers to interact with each other and with SCA board and staff. But it’s just the safe thing to do.” The election for a board representative in district 7 will go ahead in Kerrobert on October 20. Polls will open at 4:30 p.m. with candidate speeches at 5 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. with polls closing at 8 p.m. William Coventry and

Joleen Shea are the candidates running to replace long time board member Paula Larson. The SCA information session will be moved online to October 28 at 1 p.m. This will be an open session for all Saskatchewan cattle producers to hear from SCA and to bring forward questions for the board and staff. Details on that session will be circulated and post-

ed on the SCA website. The association’s Annual General Meeting will also take place virtually on February 1 at 1 p.m. The SCA is the provincial check-off agency for Saskatchewan beef producers, existing to promote the success of all production sectors of the Saskatchewan beef cattle industry through effective representation from all provincial regions.

Above, a student pointed at (but didn’t touch) Evelyn Pultara’s Bush Yam Dreaming during a general discussion on art on Oct. 7. Alison Lewis and Crystal Thorburn (background), taught a second class in their Speaking of Art series in the Shurniak Gallery titled Creating Art. The first class, the Language of Art was held Oct. 1. The Saskatchewan Arts Board helped fund these Speaking of Art classes held in the Shurniak. The classes were prepared in conjunction with the Shurniak in order to gauge the interest of arts in the community and to promote the value of art. Pultara is an Aborigine artist from Utopia, Central Australia. Pultara paints abstract pieces related to the myths of her ancestors – her paintings contain a stylized and subjective feel and are filled with mesmerizing and repetitive patterns. “The value of art speaks past your rational thought – sometimes right to your core being,” Thorburn said during a conversation on Photo by Dan Archer realism verses abstract works.

Myra Theresa Gording had a 100-year birthday parade Conditions were sunny and warm at 18C on October 5 in Rockglen, when Myra Gording celebrated her 100th birthday with a parade in the community. The parade of personal and emergency vehicles gathered at the Rockglen Community Rinks park-

ing lot at 2:30 p.m. The parade left the parking lot and circled around the town towards the Grasslands Health Centre, where Gording sat outside and greeted her well-wishers. Myra Theresa Bloom, daughter of Alfred Fred

Bloom and Mabel Euphemia Marie Nilson, was born on October 5, 1920 in the Lacordaire District south of Rockglen. She married Victor Elwood Gording on Oct. 12 1943 – her husband was the son of Nels and Marthea Gording. Photos by Dan Archer
