‘Big honkin’ election win’ for Saskatchewan Party By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Party was re-elected to its historic fourth majority government on Oct. 26, taking 50 of 61 seats as of late Monday night and giving Scott Moe his first “big honkin’ election win,” as he put it, as leader of the Saskatchewan Party and now premier-elect. It was a gain of four seats for the Saskatchewan Party. The New Democratic Party, led by Ryan Meili, won 11 seats, a decline of two. The 2016 election had the Saskatchewan Party winning 51 seats and the New Democratic Party winning 10, but by dissolution, due to byelections and vacancies, the Saskatchewan Party had 46 seats, the NDP had 13 and there were two vacant seats. Late into the night it looked like not much at all had changed, with similar the seat counts and leaders of both of the major parties retaining their seats. But that changed late into the night, after the TV stations shut down their coverage. The Saskatchewan Party
kept picking up additional seats and an upset came in for New Democratic Party (NDP) Leader Ryan Meili. With 50 of 50 polls reporting in in Saskatoon Meewasin, he was behind the Saskatchewan Party’s Rylund Hunter by 83 votes. However, that could change in the coming days, as there were 1,656 votes by mail ballots issued by Elections Saskatchewan for Saskatoon Meewasin. Due to the pandemic, votes by mail received by 8 p.m. on election day will be counted by Elections Saskatchewan on Oct. 28, instead of on the date of the final count. Even then, the final result may not be known until the final election count, Nov. 7, 12 days after the election. That’s because votes received in the mail from Oct. 27 to Nov. 5 won’t be counted until the final count. Additionally, some voters may have chosen to vote in person instead of by mail, or have chosen not to vote at all, so how many of those voted by mail ballots issued are actually in play is an open question.

Usually not an important factor, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an extra-
ordinary increase in both requests for mail-in ballots and participation in
The Saskatchewan Party won the election handily in the Wood River Constituency on Oct.26 with 54 of 54 ballot boxes reporting good news for incumbent David Marit, who earned 6,133 votes. Roger Morgan of the New Democratic Party earned 956 votes in this historic COVID-19 election in Wood River. Kim Soo Goodtrack of the Saskatchewan Green Party garnered 235 votes. There were 459 vote-by-mail ballots in Wood River, along with 19 rejected ballots. The Buffalo Party, the Progressive Conservative Party and the provincial Liberal Party did not run candidates in Wood River in 2020.

advanced polls. Advance voting was up substantially compared to 2016, with 185,061 votes cast this year compared to 110,716 cast four years ago. Those vote by mail ballots could be the deciding factor in several races. There were 61,412 vote by mail ballot kits sent out by Elections Saskatchewan – a record number by a factor of more than 13. Most of the seats in the closest races had substantial numbers of vote by mail ballots issued – ranging from 568 to 2,674, easily enough to sway the final numbers. Meili’s seat wasn’t the only race which could be impacted by the extraordinarily high number of mail-in ballots. Saskatoon University had the NDP’s Jennifer Bowes leading the Sask. Party’s Eric Olausen by 105 votes, with 1,296 vote by mail ballots issued. Saskatoon Eastview saw NDP candidate Matt Love ahead of Sask. Party candidate Chris Guérette by 102. That riding had 1,555 vote by mail ballots issued. An upset came in Saskatoon Riversdale, where the
Sask. Party’s Marv Friesen beat the NDP’s Ashlee Hicks by 274 votes. Saskatoon Riversdale has long been an NDP stronghold, represented by past NDP Premiers Roy Romanow and Lorne Calvert. But that riding also had 920 vote by mail ballots issued. The map was awash with Sask. Party green across all of rural Saskatchewan save the two northern seats of Athabasca and Cumberland. Other than the north, only the more central and western portions of both Saskatoon and Regina went NDP orange. While there were six parties running and three independents, it was really a two-party race. As of midnight, on election night, with 99.88 of ballot boxes reporting, the Saskatchewan Party improved its share of the popular vote by 0.6 per cent, from 62.4 per cent in 2016, to 63 per cent. The NDP’s share of the popular vote declined, from 30.2 per cent in 2016, to 29 per cent. That makes the third time the Sask. Party had received over 60 per cent of the vote.

Mayor’s Message October 2020 This will be my last Mayor’s Message, so I would like to take the opportunity to thank my community for giving me the opportunity to be your mayor for the past eight years. It has been a real pleasure though challenging at times but also very rewarding. Challenging especially in the first four years with many important items that needed tending too, like the Official Community Plan and the Zoning Bylaw
both required by the provincial government. Also, many other bylaws and policies needed to be updated, revised and completed including the IMP – Infrastructure Master Plan – a tool for the future. Another item approved was establishing the Prince of Wales Management Board, which has worked well in managing this important facility. Also, other important items that were brought forward and ap-

proved were at the landfill with a new and proper landfill compactor and a large scale. We also made much needed improvements to our town hall with a much-needed roof replacement and just recently a complete overhaul of the heating and air system. The introduction of the curbside pickup of recycling, waste and compost plus the commercial large bin pick-up, I believe was well received. Major upgrades to our Aquatic Centre were completed with a new Splash Park, pool basin liner and resurfacing of the pool deck. Our water treatment plant received a $2.5 million dollar upgrade with the pipeline extension, new pumps and a chemical treatment system as well as a standby power plant to keep the plant operating during a power failure. A joint project funded by all three levels of government. A number
of repaving projects were completed on Dominion Road, some blocks on both sides of town plus numerous trench fills throughout the town. There is still lots to do when it comes to repairing our streets and it will be very costly. Hopefully an agreement can be reached with the Ministry of Highways to repave Centre Street and First Avenue East and West under a cost-sharing program. I talked earlier about challenges and rewards; most of these projects offered some real challenges but once completed that’s when the rewards of accomplishing them cuts in. Speaking of challenges March of 2020 has offered challenges with Covid-19 and still does. A number of people raised their concerns regarding the Golden South Wind Energy Projects and workers coming in from other provinces. I am very pleased how all parties involved de-

A-Line Medical Training teaching first aid to students By Dan Archer A new first aid training program has arrived in South Central and Southwest Saskatchewan, but this school isn’t established within a building, but will venture forth to the students into their communities instead. “We go to the clients, rather than have the clients come to us,” said Destin Ash of A-Line Medical Training. A-Line Medical Training supplies training in First Aid and CPR, as well as the appropriate courses required by first responders. “A-Line Medical Training combines our love of teaching with our passion for patient care in the communities we proudly call home. It is our hope that through training and edu-
cation we can empower our students with life saving knowledge for when they need it the most,” Ash said. Additionally, innovative training and skills development opportunities are available at A-Line for health care professionals, including paramedics, nurses and doctors. Destin Ash and his wife Amanda are the people behind A-Line Medical Training – they are building a company designed to bring first aid into the rural communities and districts encompassing Assiniboia and beyond. Although Ash is presently working as a first responder in northeastern Saskatchewan in Nipawin and Cumberland House on a rotational basis, he is living in Assiniboia
with his wife Amanda and their three children; Liam, Rowan and Finley. Ash is familiar with the first aid requirements of South Central and Southwest Saskatchewan, having grown up on a farm close to Glentworth. A former Hutch Ambulance Advanced Care Paramedic, Ash began his EMS career in 2009 after graduating as a Primary Care Paramedic. He later obtained his Intermediate Care Paramedic (2010), Advanced Care Paramedic (2013) and is currently finishing his Community Care Paramedic designation in 2020. Moreover, Ash is a certified training partner for the Canadian Red Cross, Heart and Stroke and International Trauma and Life Support (ITLS).

COVID-19 update: 60 new cases, 25 in hospital and 15 recoveries There were 60 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on October 25, bringing the total to 2,729 cases. The newest cases were located in the Far North West (1), North West (1), North Central (5), North East (5), Saskatoon (27), Central East (2), Regina (14) and South East (5) zones. Public health investigations were underway to determine the source of transmission for all new cases. Of the 2,729 reported cases, 619 were considered active. A total of 2,085 people recovered. To date, community transmission in Saskatoon was largely due to afterwork socializing amongst young adults. Forty-eight cases were linked to the Longbranch Bar outbreak, 22 cases to Diva’s nightclub, 11 cases to the Canadian Brew House (Stonebridge) and eight cases to the Outlaws Country Rock Bar. Transmission in Regina generally appeared to be a result of close family contacts with
known cases, rather than public social activities. Twenty-five people were in hospital. Twentyone people received inpatient care; ten in the
North zone, eight in the Saskatoon zone and three in the Regina zone. Four people were in intensive care; three in Saskatoon and one in Regina.

A very busy man – Ash also teaches on a casual footing for the Sask Polytechnic Paramedic programs in Regina when he’s back home. Having grown up in rural Saskatchewan where doctors, hospitals and nurses aren’t always instantly accessible, Ash is aware of how essential first aid training could become during an emergency. “It starts at home,” Ash explained. “It starts with you recognizing the emergency and knowing what to do. Living in rural areas, we are so much further from ambulances and hospitals. In many emergencies, time is so important, so your actions and the actions of local first responders can make all the difference for the patient.” Ash would like to further develop the services offered by A-Line Medical Training throughout South Central and Southwest Saskatchewan. So far, classes have been scheduled for Gravelbourg and Rockglen in the immediate future. “We have upcoming Canadian Red Cross First Aid/CPR Level C courses in Gravelbourg on November 16 and in Rockglen on December 14. We will be announcing our 2021 training schedule soon,” Ash explained. A-Line Medical Training also offers their services within a COVID-safe environment. During the pandemic,
courses at A-Line Medical Training will include social distancing of two metres, manageable class sizes between 12-18 people,
masks, hand sanitizer and pre-day health screening. All students are contacted before classes begin to ensure everyone is healthy.

Bylaw No. 2-2020 Intent: The proposed amendment will define and regulate solar energy throughout the Rural Municipality. The following significant alterations have occurred to Bylaw No. 2-2020 previously adopted to regulate solar development. • Solar farms have been identified as a discretionary use within the AR-Agricultural Resource District. • Regulations identifying specific setback distances for solar farms have been removed. • Solar energy systems may be permitted as an accessory structure to an existing principal use throughout the RM. • Definitions, development standards and criteria have been added to regulate solar farms and solar energy systems as an accessory structure.

This is an age for Jeremiahs
M
JL for My Jewish Learning described Jeremiah in the Old Testament as one of the Bible’s major prophets. Jeremiah’s emotionally-driven messages were collected in the biblical book taking his name. MJL said Jeremiah’s prophecies were “Among the most stark and pessimistic in all of biblical literature, were aimed as a rebuke to Jews, who had surrendered to idolatry and depravity.” Even the prophet’s name has come to symbolize Jeremiah’s commitment to delivering crucial but unpopular messages from the Lord to the Land of Judah during a dire and sinful time for the nation once chosen by God. The English word “jeremiad,” translates as complaint or lamentation – a derivation of this prophet’s name. Jeremiah was born to a priestly family in Anathoth – a Levitical city given to the children of Aaron in the tribe of Benjamin. Jeremiah’s ministry began in the 13th year of the reign of King Josiah, who ruled the land of Judea in the seventh century BCE. Jeremiah had been selected to be a prophet in one of Israel’s wickedest eras and he didn’t have a choice in the matter. “Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you. Then I said, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth. But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say I am only a youth’ for to all to whom I send you, you shall go and whatever I command you, you shall speak.” Jeremiah 1: 4-7. Jeremiah lived during the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE and the exile of the Jewish people to Babylonia – a kingdom to the east of Israel and built upon the banks of the Euphrates in modern-day Iraq. Jeremiah is known for his invectives directed at the people of Israel for being unfaithful. The prophet gave Israel a series of warnings about the imminent destruction of their civilization if they didn’t correct their paths. Jeremiah is especially known for speaking against child sacrifices at the Temple in Jerusalem as commanded by God and recorded in Jeremiah 7:1-20 – this practice would poison Israel’s relationship with God. When Jeremiah preached God’s message, he was arrested, beaten and dumped into a pit. King Zedekiah – the last ruler of Judah – imprisoned Jeremiah for warning the people about the fall of Jerusalem. Jeremiah suffered for daring to speak the truth. Jeremiah spent the rest of his life as an exile in Egypt. In Jewish tradition, Jeremiah authored of the Book of Lamentations as an outcast. Lamentations is the unhappy recounting of the destruction of Jerusalem and is traditionally read on the fast day of Tisha B’av. Early sections of Jeremiah contain imageries of death and dispersion, but Jeremiah’s writings are hopeful too, especially towards the end of his book. Throughout Jeremiah’s prophetic warnings, his book contained promises about how returning to God could lead Israel to divine blessings. Jeremiah also said God would honour his covenant with the Jewish people in the years ahead. Jeremiah even bought a field as the armies of Babylon were invading Jerusalem – a bad and untimely investment perhaps, but a sign intended to represent hope in God’s faithfulness. The Book of Jeremiah reiterated God’s promise to redeem the people of Israel and restore them to their ancient land as the book concluded. Who are the Jeremiahs today? The scientists warning about climate change, those who speak out against systemic racism, the activists who talk of economic and social injustices, the public health officials advising the public to be careful throughout the COVID-19 pandemic – these are examples of modern-day Jeremiahs. Jeremiahs are the courageous souls in society who are challenging others with important but uncomfortable messages about repentance and renewal in dangerous times. However, God is faithful. He’ll go out of his way to protect his followers and prophets. Before Jeremiah set out to the Land of Judah to preach God’s word, the Creator said: “Be not afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.” Jeremiah 1:8.

Our Father, a route map I recently learned something about the prayer Jesus gave his disciples, the one we call the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus was responding to a request of his followers to teach them to pray. They had seen the intimacy experienced in prayer and his priority to spend time with the Father. Jesus is teaching us that prayer is a conversation with God, as way of engaging faith and the journey of holiness. Each line, as I wrote in a series of articles earlier this year, has a lot for us to consider, expand upon and put to practice, whether you are just beginning to seek God or have walked in faith many decades. My recent discovery centres around the flow of the Lord’s prayer, there is a progressing that is valuable for our maturing in faith – it is a route map with essential stops along the way. We declare the holiness of God, centred around his name. The one God, creator, sustainer, sovereign. From there, we engage in his Kingdom, here on earth and into the eternal kingdom of Heaven, inviting God’s Kingdom to arrive in us and through us to our world. That flows quite rightly into our obedience and commitment to him. “Your
will be done” is a yielding, even an abandonment of our self into God; I am yours God, let it be your way in my life, I’m in! Then comes the provision for daily need. This is what struck me strongest in my new understanding. My request for provision of daily need is in direct context of my commitment to obey God’s will, see his Kingdom come and glorify his name. Lord give me what I need to live for you this day! This draws us to living in community, to forgive as I am forgiven, to seek unity and working for God together. As we engage these levels, we increasingly enter into a spiritual battle both internally and externally, so we should be alert and pray for openness to deal with our issues and protection from outside that distracts us from faith. Perhaps if you can see the prayer in a new light and path, that will benefit your faith journey. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength, and love your neighbour as yourself. Pastor Greg Dermody Assiniboia Alliance Church As for me and my house, we will follow the LORD!

Alison Lewis receives 2020 OSAC Volunteer Award Assiniboia Arts Council From a young age, Alison had volunteerism in her blood. Her parents instilled in her that giving back to the community was very important. She learned this lesson well and has been an active participant in all areas of volunteer-
ing from lifeguard to volleyball coach, director of both student and adult drama, producer, set designer and she established a partnership with a dinner theatre and the Assiniboia and District Arts Council. She has supported many worthy causes such as: The
Health care providers done waiting for fairness SEIU-West health care providers reminded the public they are still without a collective agreement for over three and half years and are frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations with the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO) due to the Saskatchewan Party government’s refusal to fund a fair deal. “People who live and work in the surrounding area depend on reliable health care services that are provided by people they know and are not several hours away from their home,” said President of SEIU-West, Barbara Cape. “Under the former Sask. Party government, rural health care services have been neglected.” During the pandemic, the Saskatchewan Party closed 12 rural emergency departments. “This is insulting and dangerous to the people of Saskatchewan,” Cape added. “We need responsible stewardship of our public health care system with a health minister and premier who are willing to meet and take advice from the people on the frontlines – our members.” SEIU-West sent a letter to provincial political party leaders to seek answers to questions that their members have and to invite them to participate in a Facebook Live event to take questions from members from all sectors. With a few days left in the campaign, members have only heard back from one leader, who also took the time to take their questions in a Facebook Live event on October 21.
“I think if you value your health care services, you should value the people who provide those services and take into account what they see as ways to improve the sector,” continued Cape. “Our members know the system well and are good at their jobs, they need to be compensated properly.” In addition to the demonstrations, SEIU-West members have held events in a number of communities including Swift Current, Biggar, Wilkie, Craik, Davidson, Moose Jaw, Rosetown, Kindersley, Gull Lake, Shaunavon, Wynyard, Lanigan and several events in Saskatoon. Future events are being planned for Humboldt, Wakaw, Maple Creek, Kyle and Lafleche. During these demonstrations, the members of SEIUWest are following public health orders by physically distancing, wearing masks, practising good hand hygiene and attempting to maintain a maximum of 30 people in any given demonstration area. SEIU-West members working for the SHA have been without a contract since March 31, 2017. Service Employees International Union West (SEIUWest) represents over 13,000 people across Saskatchewan. They include people who work in health care, education, municipalities, community-based organizations, retirement homes and other sectors. They are joined by one colour – purple – and one union – SEIU-West. Visit PurpleWorks.ca to find out more about SEIU-West members.
Terry Fox run, MS bike ride and she has organized the Hayley Cayden run in support of domestic violence awareness. Alison’s partnership with the Assiniboia and District Arts Council began in 1989 as a school liaison. Since then, Alison has held many positions within the arts council and is currently the president. Her welcoming and generous nature has brought many new members to the organiza-
tion. With her leadership she has brought many new programs and opportunities to our community through her strategic planning yearly sessions. She spearheaded a committee where we have received ArtsVest funding, sponsorships and donations because of her dedication to the arts in the community. The arts council began fundraising for new sound and lighting equipment for the Prince of Wales Centre in Assiniboia.
Alison did some research as to what was best for what the community needed. A decision was made and voila, now everyone can now enjoy the venue. Alison is always helping in every area of the arts council to make it run smoothly. She is also a part of the Annual Artist Retreat Committee. The Assiniboia and District Arts Council, in partnership with the Shurniak Art Gallery, hosts a weeklong retreat for up to 30 artists from all
over the province. Alison is instrumental in the organizational and hands-on duties in making this retreat happen. Alison always told her students, “You gotta do what you love.” She follows her own advice, is passionate about what she does and carries out her ideas. The Assiniboia and District Arts Council is proud of Alison for receiving the OSAC Volunteer Award.

Snow geese photographed during migration season By Dan Archer Jim Stangel of Assiniboia sent in some photos of snow geese gathering outside of town on the evening of Monday, Oct. 19. Stangel’s pictures were taken on a wintry afternoon with his Canon PowerShot at the Assiniboia Fairgrounds. “A sight to behold,” Stangel said. “Hundreds of thousands of geese by the Assiniboia Fairgrounds. The noise is deafening. Every bird is honking.” After a brief discussion about the movie The Birds – Alfred Hitchcock’s naturalhorror from 1963 – Stangel described the flocks as a natural, but eerie miracle occurring twice a year across
southern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta. “With regards to the geese, just imagine that this sort of flocking/gathering is happening this fall in many places in the fly zone in the province. Nature is amazing. Those birds are still out there,” Stangel added. The Alberta Nature Guide said the snow goose, also known as Ross’s goose, flies in flocks following in what appears to be in disorganized lines to human eyes across the prairies during the spring and autumn. Snow geese are particularly known for shouting in high-pitched honks with increased frequency
in comparison to Canada geese. Snow geese often have all white bodies with black wing tips – but these birds might have dark bodies and white heads too. The darker coloured version, also referred as the blue goose, was thought to be a distinct species until 1983, according to the Alberta Nature Guide. Snow geese are found in croplands, fields and marshes in sections of the Canadian Prairies, such as South Central Saskatchewan, from March-April and September-October. The geese breed in the Arctic north of the treeline – some flocks venture as
far as northeastern Siberia during the spring. Snow geese also breed in Greenland, Canada and Alaska. Snow geese have even been known to fly over parts of the northern British Isles. Snow geese are tireless voyagers who traverse the Bering Strait twice a year. These geese are known for holidaying during the winter in Mexico and the southern United States then resurfacing in Saskatchewan and other parts of Western Canada starting in March, as they begin to regroup and fly back to the far north in the spring for another breeding season ahead.

for safe trick-or-treating

These adorable chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese icing are the perfect treat to make for a Halloween party or play date.
1. Only visit houses that are lit up, and never go inside 2. Walk on the sidewalk, and avoid zigzagging across the street 3. Respect all road signs and traffic lights 4. Never approach or get in to a stranger’s car 5. Stay with your friends at all times, and go to each door as a group 6. Follow a pre-planned route, and return home at the agreed upon time 7. Don’t text while walking, especially if you’re crossing the road 8. Bring a flashlight, and make sure drivers can see you at all times 9. Keep your distance from animals you don’t know 10. Don’t eat any candy until you get home and an adult inspects it

3 creepy Halloween This Halloween, encourage your kids to get creative. Here are a few fun and easy crafts your little ones will love making. 1. Felt critters Cut pieces of felt into various shapes and glue them together to make insects, animals and fantastical creatures. For young crafters, you can trace out the desired shapes with a marker and get them to simply cut along the lines. Use pompoms, buttons and bits of yarn to add the finishing touches. To create a spooky spider, for example, cut out a large black circle for the body, two medium white circles for the eyes and two small black circles for the pupils. Attach eight same-sized pieces of black pipe cleaner to make the legs.
crafts for kids
2. Mason jar lanterns To create a spooky lantern, paint the outside of a Mason jar with the face of a jack-o’lantern. Another idea is to make it look like the lantern is covered in creepy crawlies by filling it with plastic insects and cotton cobwebs. Alternatively, you can fill the jar halfway with dried leaves, flowers and pebbles to create a more fall-like look. Once the jar is ready, place a battery-powered tealight inside. The flickering candle will cast the perfect eerie glow. 3. Toilet roll monsters Make ghosts, vampires and other Halloween monsters out of empty toilet paper rolls. Use the tubes as torsos for your spooky creatures, then create horns, wings, fangs and other eerie features with markers, paint, construction paper, pipe cleaners and other odds and ends you have around the house. To make a mummy, for example, wrap the roll in strips of gauze or paper towel. Or, to bring your very own Frankenstein to life, use green paint and black felt for the hair. All three of these crafts can be made with objects found around your home and adapted to your children’s ages and abilities. Use the crafts you make to help decorate your home, design a haunted house or put on a spooky puppet show.

Cole George Crooks
Cole George Crooks died tragically on October 8, 2020 at the Weyburn Hospital, Weyburn Saskatchewan from injuries sustained from a work accident. Cole was born August 30, 1980 in Rockglen, the second of twelve children to Mark and Doreen Crooks. He was a very happy child referred to as “that boy with the smile pasted right on his face.” Early on he was very capable: walking at nine months, skating at three, and riding a bike the summer he turned four. After moves to Estevan and Coronach, the Crooks family moved to the farm at Fife Lake in 1992. He helped get the house ready, built fences and corrals, spent hours cultivating with the 830 John Deere, milked cows, and helped with the sheep. He was always busy building things or taking them apart and became the family repairman. Cole completed grades 7-12 at Rockglen School, graduating in 1998. He was among the top six contenders for Valedictorian (out of 25 grads) and his forte was math and the sciences. His group of friends were prone to mischief. “Cole is a great friend, he never lets us get into trouble -- ALONE.” They were also very diligent, hard-working, and motivated young men and have remained very loyal right through adulthood. Post Secondary was at SIAST in Prince Albert. He and another student accomplished the eight month course between Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas because they were anxious to get the jump on job opportunities. He achieved Journeyman Electrician with Humboldt Electric working on some interesting projects and would call home with his work stories. During these years, he enjoyed travelling and made many miles on his motorcycle. Between jobs with Humboldt Electric, he took a trip to the Yukon and ended up working for three months for an electrical company in White Horse, spending a lot of time with Uncle Joe Corcoran. He started with SaskPower on a travelling repair crew in a project position and achieved his Journeyman Power Lineman ticket. He bought a townhouse in Regina and finished the basement of it by himself. When he was required to move with work he rented out the townhouse and lived in Swift Current for awhile and then Saskatoon. Cole always had in mind a distinct order for life and now that he had his career started, it was time to find the right girl. In 2006, Cole met a girl from Minnesota and put on many miles to visit. He decided the distance was worth it and sold his motorcycle to buy a ring. Cole and Tristen were married on August 23, 2008 and he planned the surprise honeymoon to Alaska. They were anxious to find a farm and provide that way of life for their children. They bought their farm outside of Weyburn in 2009 and welcomed daughter Clare in 2010. In 2016 they became foster parents and welcomed sons Blaze in 2017, Ivan in 2019 and Saint in 2020. Cole is the second oldest of his family and was a strong role model for the entire family. He was the person to go to for advice, reassurance, and always took time to listen or to check in. He was very dependable. If he said he’d do something, he did. If he said he’d be there, he was. He’d go out of his way to do things for them; making extra miles or getting up earlier to help them out before attending to his own commitments. But most of all Cole was a lot of fun to be around; often laughing so hard tears would run down his face before he could finish his story. Cole was very devoted to his wife and children. When Cole started in Weyburn, he was on the training crew and on the road during the week. So shortly after Clare was born he took a job at the training centre and then the city crew so he could be home every day. He had supper each night with his family. Ivan loved when he came home and as soon as he heard the door he’d shout “Da-da!” On Sundays he rested from work and took time to enjoy his family and take them to church. He always made sure Tristen had what she needed. They put a new house on the farm in 2018 and bought a van for the babies. If she asked him to pick up formula and diapers he’d get a year’s supply. Cole was so patient. Early on in the marriage and farming adventure when Tristen blew up a truck engine, he didn’t even get mad. He gave Tristen the confidence she needed on the farm and taught her the best way to learn is just by doing. He was a great teacher and loved teaching Clare many things. When she had a question he took the time to listen and explain. He taught her how to change oil and tires, build fence, and about the stock market by opening a practice account for her. Making time for family and friends was important to Cole. He was always a welcoming host and celebrated milestones on the farm with parties, complete with a live band. He made it work to get to Minnesota a couple of times a year, even quick 48 hour trips to meet new nieces and nephews. When good friends had to move back to Ireland, he took Clare and Tristen there to visit them. Being a very strong and capable man he pursued whatever activity with energy and enthusiasm. The first years on the farm were the wettest years recorded and yet Cole persevered, getting stuck many times, and seeded grass for a pasture and hay. Cole and Tristen bought sheep and recently cattle and crop farmed organically. Cole loved farming and providing a simple life on the farm for his children. Blaze loved being outside with him. He designed and built a playhouse and chicken coop with Clare. He would go on bike rides in the evening with her. He could tell you all the farm equipment listings on Kijiji and upcoming auctions. He shared enthusiasm for farming with his father-in-law. This past year’s seeding, haying and harvest was exciting and enjoyable for Cole. Cole and Tristen enjoyed working and building their farm together. Though life was busy, their hearts were full. Cole was a very private person and did not always share his feelings or thoughts, but when he did feel it necessary to speak, he spoke profoundly and with conviction. Anyone that knew Cole would tell you how hard he worked and selfless he was. He didn’t often talk openly of his faith, but he didn’t need to as he lived it every day. He was a provider for his family and helper to those in need. He was an example to his family, co-workers and friends of a life well lived. Cole is survived by his loving wife Tristen (Greenslade), daughter Clare and sons Blaze, Ivan, and Saint. Mother Doreen Crooks, Siblings Slade Crooks, Jennifer (Mark) Fedorychka, Sarah (James) Barret, Mary (Nikolay) Grishchenko, Lincoln (Jocelyn) Crooks, Eli (Heather) Crooks, Miles (Shannon) Crooks, Basil Crooks, Vera Crooks, and Bridget (Jordan) Lafleur. Father and Mother in-law Ron and Karen Greenslade, sisters-inlaw, Tami Greenslade, Tina (Greg) Altman, Tara (Jens) Dammen, Tisha (Ben) Frost, Talia (John) Kruse, and Tatum (John) Holdvogt. Grandma-inlaw Fay Colgan. And 35 nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Mark Crooks (2016) and his brother Joshua Crooks (2011). Prayers were held on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 7 pm, St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church Weyburn, Saskatchewan with Father Gerry Bauche celebrant. The Funeral Mass was celebrated on Saturday, October 17 at 2 pm, Ste Radegonde Roman Catholic Church Lafleche, Saskatchewan with Fr. Carlos Jimenez celebrant. The pallbearers were Lincoln Crooks, Eli Crooks, Miles Crooks, Basil Crooks, Tyler Remoue and Dustin Miller. Interment took place at the Lafleche Roman Catholic Cemetery. Masses in memory of Cole were greatly appreciated. Online condolences can be shared at www.pichehawkinsgrondinfuneralchapels.ca

Joseph Henry “Bud” Ogle
Bud Ogle, longtime resident of the Wood Mountain district of Saskatchewan, passed away March 10, 2020 at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Gravelbourg, SK. Bud is survived by wife Karen, two children: daughter Tamara (Lance) Sommer and their children Janzen and Emerson; and son Lane (Cherie). He was predeceased by parents Joseph and Lena Ogle, two sisters and one brother. Bud was born on December 12, 1939 on the Ogle homestead. Bud rode the Bombadier to Wood Mountain School in the winter and was finished in Grade 9. From then on, he stayed home to work. He married Karen Ruth Demich in 1965 at the Catholic Church in Wood Mountain. The couple moved a trailer onto the Demich farm. In 1968 along came a daughter Tamara and then in 1972, a son, Lane. Bud managed a farming and ranching lifestyle, until 2017 when the cattle were sold and pasture rented. He started organic farming in June 2000 for numerous years until neighbors had taken it over for rent. Bud used to help Andrew and Leonard Caragata butcher pigs and brandings. He was a hall board member in Wood Mtn. and volunteer firefighter. Bud’s hobbies and pastimes included fishing, hunting, curling, slopitch and the outdoors in general. Bud had two grandchildren Janzen and Emerson who had his full attention any time they wanted. Grandpa would attend their hockey games, 4-H, dance recitals and if he missed an event, he would always phone to see how it turned out. Bud’s life was simple and not complicated. He focused on visiting and the relationships he had with numerous people. A good laugh was always a must. We believe as a family that he represented what Wood Mountain is all about and what always draws us home. Funeral Service Celebrating Bud’s Life was held Friday, October 2, 2020 at the Assiniboia Alliance Church, Assiniboia, SK. Pastors Todd Moroz, Rick Aupperlle and Lionel Moffatt officiated. Tribute written by his kids, was presented by Lane. Urn Bearers were grandchildren Janzen and Emerson. Music Ministry was led by Clint and Dawn Mitchell with Mark Elford. Donations may be made to Diabetes Foundation and Wood Mountain Park. Please join in remembering Bud by visiting his memorial at www.rossfuneralservice.com.

Travis Lee Brillon
With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Travis Lee Brillon on October 13, 2020 at the age of 36. He leaves behind his partner Michelle Fisher and their two girls, Caris and Haven; parents Kerry and Serena (Colvin) Brillon; sister Brittany (Colby Chubey) and their children Cohen, Collyns and Lakelyn; sister Karley (Cody Twin) and their children Vayden, Maverick, and Adelyn, as well as his grandma Synnova (Wrolson) Colvin, and his Nana Dorothy (Swanson) Brillon, and Michelle’s parents, Gerald and Geraldine Anderson, and numerous aunts and uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandfathers Doug Colvin and Louis Brillon, and Aunt Denise Brillon. Travis was born December 27, 1983 in Moose Jaw, SK and raised on a farm south of Fife Lake, SK. He attended Coronach High School and graduated in 2002. Following High School Travis moved around to various jobs to find his fit. He went west and worked in the old field and owned his own Semi and trucked before settling back down in Fife Lake to farm. He loved working for himself and had his own cattle and grain farm by Avonlea. Travis loved farming and dreamed of having his own farm to raise his girls Caris and Haven. Travis was always smiling that mischievous smile and cracking jokes. He had a heart of gold and was always there for you when you needed him. He could put a smile on your face with his joke telling that didn’t always make sense. He loved working along side his father and Grandpas either fixing fence, moving cattle, or working on machinery. There wasn’t too much he couldn’t fix. Those who knew Travis knew that he was hard working once he tackled something. You would never know that he was a perfectionist, if he couldn’t do it right it or the way he wanted, it wasn’t worth doing at all. Growing up he enjoyed dirt biking, riding horses and attending trail rides, water sports, hockey and had a passion for doing anything with his hands. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a private Celebration of Travis’s Life service was held with close family and friends on Monday, October 19, 2020, with Richelle Gent facilitating. Eulogy from the family was read by Richelle. Urn Bearer was nephew, Vayden Twin. Interment followed at the Fife Lake Municipal Cemetery, Fife Lake, SK. Donations may be made to his daughters Caris and Haven’s trust fund, carishaventrustfund@outlook.com. Expressions of sympathy, pictures and remembrances for the Brillon family may be shared at www.rossfuneralservice.com. Arrangements entrusted to Ross Funeral Service, Assiniboia, SK.

Norman Fredrick Krauss
Early in the morning on Sunday October 18, 2020 Norman Frederick Krauss, age 73, passed away at Assiniboia Union Hospital, in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. Norm was born on August 30, 1947 in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan. He was the 3rd child born to Henry and Letitia Krauss of Mossbank, Saskatchewan. Norm was raised on the family farm just west of Mossbank, SK and graduated from Mossbank High School in 1966. He worked in banking until the fall of 1970 when he enrolled at Saskatchewan Technical Institute (STI) in Moose Jaw, SK and studied instrumentation. He took a job with INCO in the spring of 1971 in Thompson, Manitoba. His love for downhill skiing then led him out to Kelowna, BC where he worked as bartender and instructor at a ski resort and made lifetime memories and friends. In 1977 he returned to Saskatchewan and made Assiniboia his permanent home when he accepted a job as a water technician at the Assiniboia Water Treatment Plant. On July 15, 1978 he married Gayle (Hoffos) and had three children Pamela, Bryan and Dwayne Krauss. In the early 80’s he began farming in addition to his full time work, with his father Henry on the family farm west of Mossbank. In 1991 he began working for SaskPower in Coronach, SK, until his retirement in 2017. Norm was dedicated to his work in instrumentation and he was also dedicated to his community where he was a proud member of the Assiniboia Community Choir and the Knights of Columbus. In 1993 the courtship of Holly Stahn began, his life partner and endearing wife, and shortly after he welcomed her three daughters into his life, Dana Stahn, Tracey Stahn and Erin Bolen. Over the years he became a blessed and loving Papa to his five grandchildren, Kaden and Kai Uchacz, Weston Okafor, and Riley and Quinn Bolen. His years with Holly were full of cherished family visits, adventures and celebrations with their “Brady Bunch”. Norman was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Letitia (Kirkpatrick) Krauss and father and mother- in-law, Adolf and Stephanie (Kolhruss) Paulowicz. He is survived by his wife Holly Stahn, children Pamela Krauss (Simon Lee) of Kitchener, ON, Bryan Krauss of Calgary, AB, Dwayne Krauss of Kitchener, ON, Dana Stahn of Calgary, AB, Tracey Stahn of Calgary, AB and Erin Bolen (Scott) of Assiniboia, SK and their children, his loving siblings Elizabeth (Fred) Chaffey of Change Islands, NF., Shearn (Doug) Bonner of Burlington, ON., Mervin (Evelyn) Krauss of Lloydminster, AB and Robyn Sahl (Barry Belbin) of Sherwood Park, AB. He is also survived by many brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews and friends. The funeral service for Norm will be held in Assiniboia, SK on Thursday October 22, 2020 at 1:30 pm at St. George’s Roman Catholic Church. His pallbearers will be his sons Bryan and Dwayne Krauss, his grandkids Kaden and Kai Uchacz, and cherished friends Mike Benoit and Grant (Crunchy) Marit. Bryan Krauss will present the Tribute. Music Ministry led by Carol Marit, Diane Rhodes and Leon Banadyga. Interment will take place in Mount Hope Cemetery, Assiniboia. Memorials will be received for the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency. Because of COVID-19 and the unprecedented restrictions the service is limited in attendance in person but streamed by internet across the world for all those who loved Norm. Norm touched the hearts of not only friends and family across Canada, but internationally, and especially those he met in Negril Jamaica, where he and Holly made friends who became family.

Glenn Linnell Barber
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Glenn would like to let you know that his work here is done. He received a call on Wednesday, September 30th at 4:45 a.m., a sort of an offer you can’t refuse, for an appointment from which he will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends he has not seen in a long time including his father, who passed in 1942 and Glenn really never met. Job security is exactly 110 percent. His new mission takes him to a wonderful place where he will be socializing, dancing, playing hockey and farming to his heart’s content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and he never has to diet again. He left detailed instructions for his children and grandchildren to celebrate his mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated. We want to let him know that he did a great job, in spite of all the hardships, and wish him a safe journey. We will remember his smile, his sense of humor, his energy, his love for life, family and friends, and also his passion and undying love for playing cribbage and watching NHL hockey and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He worked very hard at life, up until the very end. Glenn was born on April 4, 1942 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. He is survived by his three children, Glenna Barber and her children, Spencer and Shelby, Rob Barber and wife Karla and children Conner and Kyle and Melissa Barber and partner Terry Harrison and children David and Danielle and of special importance, his great-granddaughter Kassidy. The family thanks the nursing staff at Parkridge Center in Saskatoon who lovingly cared for Glenn and were especially vital to the family since the Covid virus hit. A memorial will be held in Lafleche, at a date to be determined in the coming months. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association at www.sbia.ca and condolences can be made online at https://westwoodfuneralchapel.com/

Breast cancer
Breast cancer: how is a treatment plan developed?
How to recognize and treat lymphedema Lymph is a clear fluid that contains antibodies and flows through the lymphatic system of the body. If this fluid is unable to properly circulate, it can build up in the soft tissue of a limb and cause swelling. This condition, called lymphedema, is common in breast cancer patients whose lymph nodes have been damaged or removed during their treatment.
You should also wear sunscreen and refrain from using ice packs, since exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures can aggravate symptoms.
Symptoms There are numerous signs that might indicate the presence of lymphedema, including:
If left untreated, lymphedema can lead to severe complications such as a bacterial skin infection or an infection of the lymph vessels. Speak with your health-care team if you notice signs of lymphedema.
• Trouble moving and bending a joint • Swelling of the arm or leg (and sometimes fingers or toes) • Hardening or thickening of the skin • Persistent ache, pain or burning sensation in the limb • Tight feeling in the skin of the affected area
Other types of prevention and treatment include manual lymph drainage, complex decongestive therapy and wearing compression garments.
One in eight women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. In such cases, a personalized treatment plan is created by a team of health-care specialists that typically includes oncologists, nurses, psychologists, social workers and nutritionists. Here’s a look at how each individualized plan is developed. Reviewing the options A treatment plan is typically based on the type and stage of breast cancer. It might consist of a systemic treatment, such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy, or a local treatment that directly targets a tumour, such as surgery or radiation therapy. A treatment plan might also use a combination of these approaches and be complemented by alternative therapies like acupuncture and massage. Assessing all factors Another key in determining a breast cancer treatment plan is the patient’s preferences. Following their diagnosis, a patient will be presented with several options to carefully consider or get a second opinion about if time permits. These options take into consideration various factors about the patient, including:
These symptoms can vary and depend on the severity of the condition.
• Their overall health • Whether they’ve reached menopause • The status of their hormone receptors • The cancer’s likelihood of recurrence
Treatment Daily skin care is crucial to prevent and manage lymphedema. Clean, hydrated skin helps reduce the risk of infection which can cause or exacerbate this condition. Take precautions and avoid activities that can lead to you getting cut, scratched or burnt.
For more information about breast cancer treatments, visit the Canadian Cancer Society website at cancer.ca.
What you should know about 3D nipple tattoos If you need a mastectomy to treat your breast cancer, there are various reconstructive techniques that can be used to restore the shape of the removed breast. For many women, nipple restoration is the final step of this process and helps them close a painful chapter of their lives. Here’s what you should know about 3D nipple tattoos. The procedure 3D tattoos offer a realistic-looking and
less invasive alternative to nipple reconstruction surgery. In order for the tattooing to work well, the breast tissue must be healthy and not show any signs of inflammation. As such, you may need to wait up to a year after your mastectomy to get a 3D nipple tattoo.
breast. The size, placement and colour of the tattoo can be customized to give it as natural of an appearance as possible. While this is a permanent solution, the tattoo can fade as the skin regenerates and touch-ups might be necessary.
Using oscillating needles coated with pigment, a tattoo artist or medical esthetician will create an image of a nipple and areola on the reconstructed
Alternatively, tattooing can be used to complement nipple re construction surgery by adding colour and creating an areola around the new nipple.

Test your knowledge: the stages of breast cancer Most people are familiar with the concept that cancers are diagnosed in “stages.” But do you know what this really means? In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, test your knowledge with these three true or false statements. 1. True or false: there are four stages of breast cancer False. The staging system for breast cancer has five stages (zero to four). Stage zero is assigned to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) breast cancer, which means the cancer cells are confined to a duct or lobule. Stage four is assigned to metasta-
tic breast cancer, which means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. In general, the higher the stage, the more the cancer has spread through the breasts and to nearby organs. 2. True or false: the stage changes as the cancer evolves False. A stage describes the location and amount of cancer present in the body when it’s first diagnosed. Since the stage is based on the initial diagnosis, it doesn’t change even if the cancer grows, spreads or comes back following remission. For example, a stage two breast cancer that eventually spreads to the liver will be referred to as me-
tastatic, but it remains a stage two cancer. 3. True or false: the staging system helps determine a prognosis True. Doctors use the stage of cancer to predict the course of the disease and the patient’s likelihood of recovery. This is possible because cancers that appear in the same part of the body with the same stage tend to have a similar prognosis. The stage is also used to develop a treatment plan and assign patients to appropriate clinical trials if they wish to participate.

Fall fertilizer research underway at Discovery Farm Langham A research project underway this fall at Glacier FarmMedia Discovery Farm Langham is designed to assess the efficacy of CENTURO®, a nitrogen stabilizer used in anhydrous ammonia, that has the potential to expand the timing window for fall fertilizer application without affecting crop yields. Dean Streisel, founder and CEO of Down to Earth Ag Research, the contracted supplier of research service to Discovery Farm Langham, said the randomized study will involve three different timings for application–late September, mid-October and spring before the research plots are seeded to canola.
“When we evaluate the yield results next fall, we’ll be able to provide growers with valuable information about not only how this technology can potentially help prevent losses from leaching and denitrification,” said Streisel, “But also about the best timing for anhydrous application.” This research study is funded by Koch Agronomic Services, who are also supplying CENTURO plus a co-injection system that has been fitted to Discovery Farm Langham equipment. Dr. Rigas Karamanos, senior agronomist with Koch in Canada, said it is “next to impossible to find a research organization with the capability to do this kind
of trial,” but after visiting Ag in Motion at Discovery Farm Langham and having been “very impressed indeed with the quality of the trials underway,” Koch collaborated with Down to Earth and Discovery Farm Langham for its own research. The goal, says Karamanos, “is to show producers they could potentially have more time in the fall to apply anhydrous without risking loss.” Streisel said an additional element to the project is a demonstration site to evaluate fall application of various fertilizer sources—broadcast, banding and dribble banding – with and without inhibitors. Demonstrations are
important, he added, because they give producers a fuller picture of what the research entails and how it is being conducted.
“The goal is always to provide growers with the best information possible, so they can make informed decisions that are right for
their operation,” Streisel reported. “And in this case, working with an industry partner brings an added level of benefit to farmers.”
Delta 9 announced normal course issuer bid for common shares and convertible debentures Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. (TSX: DN) (OTCQX: VRNDF) announced the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has approved the company’s normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) on Oct. 20. Under the NCIB, Delta 9 can purchase: (i) up to an aggregate of 2,802,503 common shares of the company (“Common Shares”), representing 5 per cent of the public float of Common Shares as at October 20 2020; and (ii) up to an aggregate of $1,180,000 principal amount of 8.5 per cent unsecured convertible debentures of the company (“Debentures”), representing 10 per cent of the public float of Debentures as of October 20, 2020. Purchases of Common Shares and Debentures pursuant to the NCIB may be made through the facilities of the TSX and alternative
Canadian trading systems commencing on October 26, 2020 and ending on October 25, 2021, or an earlier date in the event that Delta 9 purchases the maximum number of the Common Shares and Debentures available under the NCIB. Delta 9 will pay the market price at the time of acquisition for any Common Shares and Debentures purchased through the facilities of the TSX. All Common Shares and Debentures acquired directly by Delta 9 under the NCIB will be cancelled. As of October 20, 2020: (i) there were 90,203,534 Common Shares and $11,800,000 principal amounts of Debentures issued and outstanding; (ii) 34,152,993 Common Shares and no Debentures were held by the senior officer and directors of the company; and (iii) the public float of the Company was
56,050,054 Common Shares and $11,800,000 principal amounts of Debentures. The average daily trading volume of the Common Shares and Debentures for the six-month period ended September 30, 2020 was 111,829 Common Shares and 43,000 principal amounts of Debentures. Daily purchases will be limited to 27,957 Common Shares and $1,000 principal amounts of Debentures, other than block purchase exceptions. Delta 9 sought approval of the NCIB, because it believes that, from time to time, the market price of the Common Shares and Debentures may not fully reflect the value of the Common Shares and Debentures. Delta 9 believed that, in such circumstances, the purchase of Common Shares and Debentures represented an accretive use of capital.

RCMP Traffic Services seize drugs on Highway 7 near Kindersley Saskatchewan RCMP A pickup truck was stopped on Highway 7 west of Kindersley, Saskatchewan for a driver’s licence and vehicle registration check on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at around 2:30 p.m. The RCMP officer made several observations, resulting in the lone male occupant being detained for a drug investigation. Further investigation resulted in the occupant being arrested for possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution. A searched of the vehicle revealed five large garbage bags containing approximately 99 pounds of cannabis. Clinton James Senko, 34, of Saskatoon was charged with
possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution. Senko appeared before a Justice of the Peace then was released on several conditions. Senko is scheduled to make his next court appearance in Kindersley Provincial Court on Dec. 15, 2020, at 10 a.m. The following afternoon at around 3:30 p.m., an officer stopped a car on Highway 7 west of Kindersley for speeding on Wednesday, Oct. 21. The officer made several observations – causing a 33-year old male to be detained for a drug investigation. A police service dog was deployed around the vehicle – a positive indication for narcotics was made after the dog identi-
fied the correct odours – causing the driver to be subsequently arrested for possession of a controlled substance. A search of the vehicle resulted in the RCMP seizing 850 grams of cocaine and seven pounds of cannabis. Matthew Lewis Davey of Strathmore, Alberta was charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution. Davey appeared before a Justice of the Peace – he was released on conditions. Davey is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Dec. 15, 2020, in Kindersley. Police seized both vehicles in relation to these investigations.
Buffalo Party hit with a defamation notice By Dan Archer The Buffalo Party in Saskatchewan continued to face legal challenges before the election – this time, the Progressive Group for Independent Business Inc. – a membershipfunded conservative-minded business group in Canada founded in 1992 – issued a defamation notice to the party’s leader, Wade Sira, on Oct.22. PGIB as a fiscally conservative organization in Canada advocating for smaller governments, lower taxes and governmental accountability across the board. PGIB’s CEO, Craig Chandler, gave notice of the organization’s intentions to bring an action under the Defamation Act against Sira under section 13 of the Defamation Act, RSA 2000 c. PGIB had given notice of the lawsuit served as a Statement of Claim from the Calgary-based solicitor and barrister, Jonathan B. Denis.
The defamatory affairs brought about by the Progressive Group of Independent Business Inc. included the words broadcasted by Sira on recent Google reviews about Chandler and PGIB. PGIB responded, saying the allegations by Sira were false and without merit. According to the lawsuit, Sira stated online on a Facebook video: “Do not believe everything you have seen in the mainstream media. They are attacking me by using media trolls like Craig Chandler.” In underlining Sira’s growing distaste with his former allies, the PGIB, he stated “This is a frivolous and vexatious lawsuit (PGIB’s) putting forward to try and discredit the Buffalo Party,” as recorded in an Oct. 20 interview with the Saskatoon Star Phoenix. Sira also referenced his growing issues with PGIB as “An ugly piece of politics that
is not doing any good for the people of Saskatchewan.” Earlier this month, Sira and Buffalo Party candidate, Constance Maffenbeier, were sued for breach of contract by PGIB over breach of contract issues related to the management of their campaigns. According to the PGIB, contracts signed by both Sira and Maffenbeier on September 21 were in breach once they cancelled their contracts on October 1, despite the completion of thousands of dollars of work before additional PGIB support staff had arrived from Calgary to assist Sira and the Buffalo Party, according to Chris Tan, the Saskatchewan Chair for PGIB. “These people and this party are unethical,” Tan said. “We were asked to create a new logo and slogan and we did. Then we were told that we had to revert back to the older logo, but were then permitted to add some wording we adapted.”
