Successful season opener for Assiniboia Senior Rebels By Dan Archer The 2020/2021 hockey season began with an electrified jolt in the right direction for Assiniboia’s Senior Rebels, when the home favourites clashed with Glentworth Thunder on the superstitious day of Friday, Nov. 13 at the Assiniboia Civic Centre Arena. The Senior Rebels weren’t colliding with black cats, nor were they strolling underneath ladders on Friday night, when they cleared the ice with a 9-3 victory against the team from Waverley. The Rebels’ luck began at once when they sliced a zinger into the net at 19:32, with Bryce Hall scoring with the assistance of Dakota Helland and Kyle Hall. The Rebels quickly followed up with another goal at 15:03 by Mitch Holick with help from Bryce Hall and Braydon Delorme. Although Glentworth perked up at 11:33 with an opposing goal, the Rebels fought back with an unassisted shot by Bryce Hall at 8:30 near the end of the first period. Glentworth returned fire in the second period during the powerplay with a goal at
9:09, but Assiniboia followed through with three goals in succession throughout the second, ending the bracing segment of this game with a formidable 6-2 score. Bryce Hall, Sean Hall, Sean Whelan were the heroes of the second period, with notable support from Lane Cayer, Mitch Holick, Derek Lessmeister and Landon Marit. The Rebels continued to dominate the game in the third period with a goal at the top at 17:53 by Derek Lessmeister, assisted by Braydon Delorme and Zack Evans. Glentworth Thunder powered one through the twines at 12:30, but the Rebels answered back with another volley through the enemy’s net at 9:20 by Bryce Hall, assisted by Kyle Hall and Sean Whalen. With the end of the game nearing, Dakota Helland sealed the deal at 1:23 with another goal, assisted by Kyle Hall and Matthew Lothian, giving the Rebels a 9-3 result. Assiniboia travelled to Glentworth on Saturday, Nov 14 for a rematch at the Glentworth Waverley

Sport Centre with the puck dropped at 7:30 p.m. This year, the Notekeu League are following guidelines to keep spectators and players safe during the pandemic. The spectators were limited to 150 at the Assiniboia Civic Centre Arena on Nov. 13. In addition, the local sports fans were encouraged to sanitize their hands and maintain physical distancing. Masking was mandatory on Friday night in the arena. Also, the rink’s concession and the beer gardens will remain closed until further notice to maintain safety. A statement from the Senior Rebels read: “Our priority is to keep fans, volunteers, staff, and players safe and healthy, so we can continue to play hockey in a year that has been filled with many twists and uncertainties. The following guidelines will be enforced and are subject to change due to changes to the Saskatchewan Public Health Order, SHA and the Saskatchewan Health Authority at any time. We will not have a concession or beer gardens opened at this time. We hope to see everyone at the rink!”

Moose Jaw RCMP: fatal motor vehicle collision on highway 2 On November 13, at 6:10 p.m., Moose Jaw RCMP received a report of a head-on collision on Highway 2, 41 kilometres north of Moose Jaw.

COVID-19 measures leave school staff, students vulnerable T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Teachers’ Federation is disappointed in the new measures announced by the Saskatchewan provincial government on November 13 and remained deeply concerned about what this could mean for schools, students and staff in the coming weeks. “All communities and all school populations are at risk,” said Patrick Maze, President of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation. “These measures leave staff and students in elementary schools and schools with student populations less than 600 vulnerable and exposed. All staff and students require a safe school
environment.” Maze called for masks to become mandatory for all staff and students, including Pre-K to Grade 3 and for school divisions to move immediately to Level 3. “Classrooms are crowded and there are numerous accounts of significant delays in contact tracing. This is creating significant health risks for the staff and students who are left unprotected,” said Maze. “Recommendations are insufficient. We need clear, consistent directives from government.” Maze added that the messages shared by Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Shahab, the Saskatchewan
Health Authority’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Shaw and Saskatchewan Health Authority’s CEO Scott Livingstone foreshadowed a grim future. “Our hope

Letter to the Editor To the editor; I am saddened at what Canada is becoming. In this dark year, we have allowed corporate and government funded media organisations to program their truth into us, to fill our whole being with irrational fear. Every day, the talking heads spout numbers to us – case numbers they say. If it was presented with the context of test numbers, or whether in fact the case was attributed to a guess and not a test as some of those numbers are, then it could be scrutinized by a thinking population. But do Canadians even think anymore? I am fearful that many do not.
As of this writing Saskatchewan has 4087 reported cases, this is .4 per cent of the population in all of 2020. Of the total 4087 cases 29 (God have mercy) have died of the virus – this is .7 per cent of those infected. A critical thinking person will be able to evaluate this positively as “If I get the virus, I have a 99.3 per cent chance of living.” Now for the context: each person who drives has a 1 per cent chance of being killed in a crash according to statistics, but have we banned cars? More people die of opioid overdoses than car crashes, but doctors still prescribe them.
To close this all up, I want to stress to my fellow Canadians that we need to live our lives. To be human is to smile (without a mask), to talk, to hug to help each other. We cannot allow our humanity to be conformed by misguided politicians and appointed health officials. Instead of being overwhelmed with fear, we should embrace the truth and have critical discussions with one another about how elected servants are attempting to subdue our humanity. We are all essential. John 18:38 Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” Tyler E Fox, Willow Bunch

Self-help author addressed the issues of fear and anxiety
T
he Canadian Mental Health Association in Saskatchewan recognized anxiety as an anticipated fragment of life. “Normal, expected anxiety is part of being human. Treatment should look at reducing unhelpful coping strategies and building healthy behaviours that help you better manage anxiety,” a statement from this organization read. Yet, there are times when this condition has seemed too overwhelming for some. Treatments are available when anxiety seems to have neither a beginning or an end, as the internal dread takes over. Canadian federal government statistics from 2013 reported nearly three million Canadians (11.6 per cent) aged 18 and older were enduring mood and or/ anxiety disorders. Of all these reported cases, 27 per cent said their anxiety disorders had effectively uprooted their lives in the previous 12 months. With the destructive advent of COVID-19, anxiety in Canada and throughout the world has magnified since 2013. The government recommended sufferers to adopt improved sleeping habits, engage in exercise, meditative practices and develop a care plan. Self-care is vital for mental health. Professionals exist in clinics and have written piles of words on anxiety and fear, with the intent of helping those who are agonizing from chronic apprehensions. Stan Popovich, a Penn State graduate with over 20 years of experience in managing fear, anxiety and depression, has written a book on helping others to manage their inner lives. He’s appeared on television and has written for publications like the Huffington Post. A Layman’s Guide to Managing Fear is a navigation device in the form of a book and is meant to assist those who undergoing anxiety-related problems. The 52-page book is appearing in paperback or as a Kindle edition. Popovich’s advice on anxiety isn’t necessarily scientific, but rather intuitivebased. His suggestions on dealing with the anxieties in others are thoughtful and creative. For example, Popovich offered six ways of assisting others as they cope with anxiety. In his first point, Popovich said caregivers should learn and study depression and anxiety through books and other available media with the strategy of informing themselves and educating others. Popovich emphasized the importance of patience and understanding in second part of his outline. Dealing with depression and anxiety can be challenging. The caregiver should avoid making hard situations worse. “Do not get into arguments with the person who is having a difficult time with their anxieties,” Popovich advised. “Talk to the person instead of talking at them,” Popovich said, as he carried on to point three. “It is important not to lecture the person who is struggling with anxiety and depression. Talk to the person about their issues without being rude.” “Get help,” Popovich recommended in the fourth part of his proposal. “Seek help from a professional who can help your friend or relative with their mental health struggles. A counsellor can give you advice and ideas on how to overcome anxiety, fear and depression.” Further to this point, Popovich advised sufferers to join mental health supports. He suggested their doctors might know of some appropriate groups to connect with in their communities. Popovich said the caregivers should discuss what might happen if people refuse to get help for their fears and anxieties in point five. “Anxiety and depression can make things worse and usually it won’t go away by itself without some kind of treatment.” Lastly, Popovich said if the caregivers weren’t able to convince their clients, friends or relatives to share their emotional burdens of anxiety and depression with professionals, the reasons for this avoidance should be discussed. “Address the issues on why the person will not get the necessary help,” Popovich said. “Many people who are struggling are fearful and frustrated. Try to find out the reasons why he or she won’t get the help they need and then try to find ways that will overcome their resistance of seeking assistance.”

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race that is marked out for us.” (Hebrews 12:1). November is a month of remembrances. On the first day of the month, many churches celebrate the feast of All Saints. This feast honours those whose faith, devotion to Christ and quality of life and service are an inspiration and example for all. Some of these are well known. Many others are only known by those who were close to them. All of these show what a closer walk with the Lord can be. November 11 is Remembrance Day, when we remember and honour all those who served in the armed forces and in too many cases gave their lives for their country and for the principles that are the foundation of Canada. Theirs was an example
of duty to Sovereign and country and dedication to the principles that should guide our national life. The saints, known and unknown, call each one of us to lives of holiness. Mother Teresa of Calcutta noted, “Holiness is not a luxury for a few, but a simple duty for every one of us.” The saints show us the need for each one of us to grow in a life in Christ. The message of those who fell in the wars is, we must take up the torch they pass on to us. It is a call to work to uphold those principles of Canadian life, rights and freedoms they fought and died to uphold. Let us always remember them and re-dedicate ourselves to growing in holiness and ensuring the basic principles of our nation are continued. Jeannette Mynett St. Boniface Anglican Church

Our Town
2020 Remembrance Day ceremony held outside in wintry conditions By Dan Archer Assiniboia’s Branch 17 of the Royal Canadian Legion held a COVIDinfluenced service outside at the cenotaph in front of the Town Hall at 131 Third Avenue West, beginning at 10:45 a.m. on Nov. 11. The Royal Canadian Legion were encouraging people across the country to stay at home and pay private respects when they remembered the sacrifices of the veterans this year. This year, most people remain inside their cars in the streets neighbouring the cenotaph during the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Assiniboia Town Hall
(Asaskan Complex). A handful of observers stood outside at the cenotaph on the chilly November morning, including Branch 17 Legion representatives, Wood River MLA David Marit, Mayor-elect Sharon Schauenberg and a group of local citizens. The 15-minute service held this November is normally much longer with music, speeches, presentations and a wreath-laying ceremony whenever the event was set-up at its usual venue in St. George’s RC Parish Centre on 325 Sixth Street East. Also, in 2020, the wreaths were left at the
cenotaph before the ceremony, or wreaths were arranged at the cenotaph after the ceremony was completed to retain social distancing. Irvin Tubbs led the Remembrance Day Service
on Nov. 11 2020, which convened outdoors in -8 C weather with a -17 C windchill affected by 28-kilometre winds from the north. Legion members, Rita Walters and Kris Olson,

NOVEMBER 13, 2020 CIVIC NEWS
SNOW REMOVAL During the winter months, snow and ice on sidewalks can seriously impair the ability of people to get around ‘safely – especially elderly and those with mobility restrictions. For that reason, the Town of Assiniboia’s Bylaw No. 481 Section 7, states ”Every occupant and in case there is not occupant the owner thereof of every house, shop, building, lot or parcel of land fronting or abutting on any street or streets where there are sidewalks shall within twenty-four hours of the falling or depositing thereon of any snow or dirt or ice cause the same to be removed from the said sidewalk in front of or adjacent to such house, shop, building, lot or parcel of land.” We ask when shoveling, that you refrain from putting snow or ice on the streets as it can create hazards for traffic and hampers our removal efforts. Snow can be placed on the boulevard or your own yard. Sidewalk snow removal will be addressed on a written complaint basis. We encourage residents to be a snow angel and help those neighbours who may need some help removing snow. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Assiniboia Times, Assiniboia Saskatchewan -- November 20, 2020 7
Shovel snow safely this winter The beauty of freshly fallen snow is undeniable. Such beauty compels millions of people across the globe to ski and snowboard each winter, while millions more enjoy simply looking out their windows at snow-covered landscapes. If it was as convenient as it is beautiful, snow would likely be welcomed with open arms whenever the local weatherperson includes it in his or her forecast. But heavy
snowfall can be inconvenient, making it difficult to travel and even creating more work for individuals responsible for shoveling their driveways and walkways. Shoveling snow can increase a person’s risk for injury, and some may be surprised to learn just how frequently such injuries happen. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that, in 2018, more than 137,000 people needed
medical assistance for injuries that happened while shoveling snow or using snowblowers. Sprains and strains in the back and shoulders are the most common injuries when shoveling snow. But people also can suffer lacerations and injuries related to belowfreezing temperatures when shoveling snow. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends people keep these safety pre-
cautions in mind when shoveling snow this winter. • Stretch before shoveling. Just like you would do before exercising in a gym, stretch prior to picking up your snow shovel. Warm up your muscles with some light exercise for 10 minutes to reduce your risk of sprains, strains and muscle tears. • Stay hydrated and take frequent breaks. The AAOS notes that snow shoveling and snow blowing are aer-
Rock Talk: Assiniboia Curling Club news for Nov. 15, 2020 By Bill Lothian The Assiniboia Curling Club is off and rolling with a solid enrolment in all the leagues. The ACC survived any major changes in government regulations, which might have shut them down. The lounge must now be closed by 11 p.m. each evening, with the last call at 10 p.m. In the Afternoon Rec League, 24 curlers have indicated they wish to curl at least one day, with many participating in both. There’s still room for more, so if in-
terested, please call the office at 306-642-5115 and leave a message, or just show up for Monday and/or Wednesday at the 1:30 p.m. draw time. The Monday Night Travelling League has nine teams entered, including the Howe gang from Mossbank, the Layman, Flynn and Sewell rinks from Lafleche and the Coghill, Batty, Eldstrom, Mountain and Lucas teams from Assiniboia. Nelson GM and Southland Coop are the sponsors. Draw time is at 7:30 p.m.
Eighteen curlers have indicated interest for the Tuesday Family and Rec Night and there’s still room for more. Draw time is at 7 p.m. Call the office for more details. And finally, the Thursday Night Paterson Grain Competitive Rec Night is full with 16 teams. The ACC will run two draws at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. The ACC would like to acknowledge their advertising sponsors both on the ice and on the wall, including Nelson GM, Southland Coop and
Paterson Grain, for helping them survive another season. The Annual Curling Club Meeting is scheduled for Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. in the Upper Lounge. Interested curlers are asked to attend. In closing, when curlers are entering the curling area, please remember to sanitize, practise social distancing and frequently wash hands. If any curler hasn’t been feeling well, please refrain from coming in. Please respect the safety of all participants!
obic activities. Such activities require participants to be hydrated. In addition, taking frequent breaks can help prevent injuries. • Avoid shoveling snow if you’re at risk for heart attack. Some people should avoid shoveling snow entirely. According to the Harvard Medical School, researchers correlated hospital admissions and deaths due to heart attack the day after it snowed in Canada between 1981 and 2014. Researchers found that the deeper the snow, the more men died of heart attacks. In fact, researchers found that there was a 34 percent increase in heart attack deaths the day after an eight-inch snowfall, and those rates increased when snowfall increased. Most deaths were men, but both men and women who are at risk of heart attack should avoid shoveling snow, particularly after heavy snowfall. Adults who are unsure of their heart health should consult with their physicians prior to shoveling snow. • Use the right equipment. Ergonomic snow shovels can
make shoveling less taxing, reducing your risk for sprains and strains. Spacing hands on the tool grip can increase leverage, making shoveling easier and less likely to lead to injury. • Pushing snow instead of lifting it. The AAOS recommends pushing rather than lifting snow when possible. If snow must be lifted, squat with your legs, knees bent and back straight. When lifting, lift with your legs and do not bend at the waist. Scoop small amounts of snow at a time and walk to where you want to dump. The AAOS warns against holding shovels full of snow with arms outstretched, as doing so puts too much weight on the spine. Snow should not be thrown over the shoulder, as such a technique requires a twisting motion that puts stress on the back. In addition, the AAOS notes that heavy wet snow should be removed in pieces and not all at once. Anyone can get injured while shoveling snow. Such injuries are preventable when certain safety measures are taken.
Senior Rebels notch another conquest over Glentworth By Dan Archer The Assiniboia Senior Rebels matched-up with Glentworth Thunder at the Waverley Sports Gardens on Saturday, Nov. 14 and aced a 10-2 victory. During the first period, the Rebels scored five goals in sequence, with Jacob Eger, Colton Lethbridge and Bryce Hall notching markers for the team. Notably, Zack Evans shot two goals through the Thunder’s twines during the game’s first chapter. Bryton Beattie, Kyle Hall, Lane Cayer, Randy Stowe, Landon Marit and Dakota Helland assisted their team in this sterling performance by the Rebels during the first period. At the top of the second period, Jared Karst slammed another shot through Glentworth’s net at 17:12, this time aided by Colton Lethbridge
and Scott Andersen. Jarod Wallington scored an unassisted goal for Glentworth at 14:55 in the second, but the Rebels answered this challenge with two more goals by Zack Evans and Sean Whalen, with support from Bryton Beattie, Kyle Hall and Jared Karst. The Rebels continued to rhumba through this game in style, with Kyle Hall scoring at 12:07 in the third period, with help from Jared Karst and Matthew Lothian.
Glentworth Thunder responded with their second goal of the evening at 11:18, with Ryan Switzer volleying a shot over the lines, aided by Taylor Cowie and Shaun Cameron. But the Rebels quickly retorted, as Bryton Beattie scored goal number 10 during a powerplay at 8:36 with assistance from Kyle Hall and Zack Evans. The Assiniboia Senior Rebels are due to meet the Coronach Merchants at the
Assiniboia Civic Centre Arena on Saturday, Nov. 21 – the puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m. Further down the road, the Rebels are scheduled to play the Hodgeville Huskies in Assiniboia on Friday, Nov. 27 – this game will start at 8:30 p.m. The day after, the Rebels will have a rematch with the Huskies on their turf at the Hodgeville Community Rink on Saturday, Nov. 28 with the game scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

8 Assiniboia Times, Assiniboia Saskatchewan -- November 20, 2020
We salute Women in Business: a look at the modern business woman When women contribute to the business world, they often bring a fresh perspective that helps companies to accelerate their growth. Studies have demonstrated that gender diversity in corporate settings increases productivity and innovation. What’s more, women tend to bring a more humane leadership style to the table, one based on inclusivity and the empowerment of marginalized voices. This openminded and collaborative attitude has been shown to improve a corporate team’s performance, products and decision-making.
Obstacles to overcome Women continue to face numerous challenges in the business world. For one, the wage gap persists with full-time female employees making an average of $0.87 for every dollar earned by men in the same position. This disparity is even wider for women of colour, Indigenous women and recent immigrants. Additionally, women are less likely than men to apply and be considered for management roles. Often, this is due to implicit or explicit bias among male em-
ployers. Another factor is the persistence of traditional gender roles among many couples, which leave women disproportionately responsible for childcare and household tasks. Without a proper support system, it’s difficult for women to strike a balance and advance in the workplace. Yet despite these hurdles, many women are thriving in the business world, and companies, as well as communities, are the better for it. Networking resources Women in business often lack the sup-
port and funding that have allowed men to be successful. Here are a few of the business organizations in Canada that offer resources. • Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (fwe.ca) • Women’s Executive Network (wxnetwork.com) • Canadian Association of Women Executives & Entrepreneurs (cawee.net) • Women’s Enterprise Organizations of Canada (weoc.ca) • Canadian Women’s Chamber of Commerce (canwcc.ca)

Kelli’s Fashions has been in business in Assiniboia since 2006 Submitted by Bernie Chevrier As I think back to the weekend, I opened my store a short time ago, I am in awe of how fast time has gone by. We had the grand opening of Kelli’s Fashions on Thanksgiving weekend 2006. My store is named after my oldest granddaughter. I often get called Kelli …. I just smile and carry on. The decision to open a ladies’ clothing store came from my closest friend, Joyce Rasmussen. Joyce gave me a call, as she had something she wanted to talk to me about, but it should be in person. “I think you should open a ladies’ clothing store” …. I burst out laughing. Yeah right …. I had no idea where to even start. This would be something I wanted to try. Pretty soon boxes started arriving. OH MY GOSH! Now I was over whelmed but met that challenge head on …. I needed to hire some staff as I could not do all this by myself. Luckily, I hired excellent ladies to work with me. Everything was falling into place like it was meant to be. I was pretty excited and when word got out that I was opening a clothing store, positive comments were coming my way. At Kelli’s Fashions, “We love what we do and we do what we love!” I strongly feel when ladies walk into Kel-
li’s Fashions, they get treated with respect and consideration. We call them by name. We feel the time spent with our customers to be important from the time they walk in till the time they leave. I do, however, understand when walking into a store in the city that the sales people cannot have the same attention as we do in Assiniboia. They do not know us by name or where we’re from. Fortunately, I do know a lot of people from this area and surrounding communities. That is huge in my estimation. Calling someone by name …. Super important! Have I enjoyed my job? Absolutely! Going into my 15th year I am happy Joyce thought I could take on this challenge. Of course, I have great concerns with COVID-19. We are not going through easy or fun times. I am a firm believer that when you are from Saskatchewan, you are strong and we will get through this! I love my province and I am very thankful for our customers. I am very proud of Premier Scott Moe and Dr. Shahab. They are working so hard to keep us healthy and safe. They have had to make some very difficult decisions, which I feel will help us beat this pandemic. To our frontline workers; thank you so much for looking after us! Your hard work and dedication are not going unnoticed! Let’s remember “This too shall pass!”

Expressions Photography delivers photography services of all kinds By Dan Archer Expressions Photography is located in the old Toronto Dominion Bank at 200 Centre Street. Hali Booth – the owner of the photography studio – purchased the 100-year-old building in 2016 after moving from the former Ottenbreit Studio at 531 Centre Street. Although Booth had the building remodelled, she ensured to maintain essence of the former bank after completing the structure’s makeover. “We tried to keep as much of the old charm as possible,” Booth explained. Born and raised in Assiniboia, Booth selected a career in photography after working as a hairdresser. “I’ve always been kind of artsy. I was a hairdresser for years and years, but I developed back problems.” Booth received mentoring from Orville Ottenbreit when she started Expressions Photography in 2010. Ottenbreit had been operating his photography studio in Assiniboia since 1969. She continues to take computer-based photography courses and studies techniques, equipment options and other camera-related information whenever she can, taking care to absorb as much knowledge about photography as possible – even when she’s off shift. “In my spare time, I do all sorts of research on photog-
raphy,” Booth said. Booth’s photography business is a multifaceted concern. She takes portraits on location and inside the studio. She photographs sport teams, family portraits, anniversaries, weddings, graduation, babies, passport photos, excels in aerial farm photography and she also does photo ID shots. “Photo ID is a huge part of my business,” Booth said. Additionally, Booth takes school portraits in eight schools located within the Prairie South School Division. When Booth is taking school photos, she utilizes the Green Screen technology – this feature requires a significant amount of training. “The Green Screen gives the people in the portraits the option to choose the background.” Booth knocks the green background out then replaces this veneer with a digitized backdrop chosen by her subject. When installing the new backdrop, she takes extra care to ensure the updated insertion won’t clash with the subject pictured in the foreground. “The lighting on the screen has to be perfect. The lighting on the subject has to be perfect. This is very touchy work,” Booth explained, as she discussed how to use the Green Screen. In addition, Booth offers assistance to the schools she
works in, to help them with their yearbooks, should they require added support. Custom framing and matting are also available at Expressions Photography with a vast choice of sizes to choose from. “I can build any size of frame out there,” Booth said. She also stretches canvasses. “One of my favourite things to do,” she said. Moreover, Booth offers services in laminating, plaque mounting, custom card printing and photo retouching. “I do photos that are damaged to bring them back to their original glory,” she smiled. Many businesses have been affected by COVID-19. Expressions Photography is no exception. Her baseball team photos were cancelled this year – she isn’t sure about what’s going to happen with the 2020/2021 hockey season either at this point in early November. Since there were no formal group photos for the graduates at the Assiniboia Composite High School, Booth came up with some unique improvisations. For example, she amalgamated all 42 of Assiniboia’s graduation portraits into a single photo. Moreover, she’s created some interesting ways to inform the town about their 2020 graduates. “I created yard signs with pictures of the graduates. I also put the pictures of the grads in the windows of local businesses.” Finally, as a volunteer for the Assiniboia Civic Improvement Association, Booth constructs the ads for the digital board at the end of Centre Street. “I build the ads, format them, then upload them onto the sign,” she said in closing.

Facts and Figures on Canadian Women Entrepreneurs From the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Canada Report on Women’s Entrepreneurship: Nearly 85% of Canadian women surveyed indicated they were interested in starting a business. Most are highly educated - the vast majority having college diplomas or university degrees. 13.3% were involved in newer businesses and 10% in established businesses (those operating for more than 3.5 years). For men the figures
were 20.3% and 7.1%, respectively. Globally, Canadian women rank 1st in terms of involvement with newer businesses, ahead of the U.S., Britain, and other innovation-based economies, and 6th for established businesses. The consumer services sector accounts for over half (54.4%) of early-stage female businesses, followed by business services at 28.2%. Female business owners are on average less likely to engage in international trade than their male counterparts. For businesses that had 25%

How cold air may help spread COVID-19 As the virus leaves your body, the cold air helps preserve it and keep it alive longer.
Do vaccines against pneumonia protect you against the new coronavirus?
Dry air evaporates droplets from the virus, causing them to remain smaller and lighter. This means droplets spread further and stay in the air longer.

Shopping locally is more crucial than ever
The importance of shopping locally has been emphasized with increasing urgency in recent years. The importance of shopping local is even more crucial now as so many small businesses try to survive the pandemic. Individuals looking for everything from clothing to home improvement services to office supplies can look to small businesses to fill those needs. • Look for small businesses for any and all of your shopping needs. Chances are items sold by big box retailers also are sold by small businesses. When the options are the same or similar, purchase from a small business instead of its big box competitor. • Readily provide recommendations of small businesses with which you have done business. Too often people are quick to complain about places that have failed them, but those same people don’t think to say kind words about companies that went
above and beyond. Share great experiences on social media or through word of mouth. • Talk to small businesses owners first if you have an issue. It’s tempting to go directly to social media to complain about something, but such complaints can have a dire impact. Always take issues to the manager or business owner first to see if a resolution can be reached. A manager may not be aware of an issue at all. Give small businesses a chance to make it right before taking things public. • If you own a small business, rely on other small businesses to fulfill your needs. Order supplies from fellow small business owners, seek the help of local financial advisors and tax professionals and use local suppliers and delivery personnel. Small businesses have experienced unprecedented setbacks due to COVID-19. By supporting small businesses, communities can help them regain stable footing.

Marcelle Perigny
Marcelle Lydia Madeleine Perigny (nee Dumelie) of Lafleche, Sask passed away in the comfort of her home at the farm at Lafleche, on Sunday, November 1st, 2020 (All Saints Day) with family at her side. Marcelle was the first child of George & Annette (Pellisier) Dumelie in a family of 12 children. Marcelle was born on January 10th 1931 in the Fir Mountain District. She went to two country schools as well as to the Convent in Lafleche where she boarded with the nuns and made many good friends there which lasted her lifetime. The family moved from Fir Mountain to the farm west of what is now Thomson Lake. After her grade 6 year, Marcelle went back to the family farm to help her mother with the younger children and the housework. Marcelle worked as a housekeeper for a various number of people in Lafleche, and she worked at Chan’s Restaurant where she met Maurice Perigny. They married on October 4th 1949 at Ste Radegonde in Lafleche. They resided in Lafleche in a house that Maurice started to build before their wedding and continued to live there until 1953. At this point they moved to the current Perigny farm, which was homesteaded by Joe Cantin and later owned by Joe Perigny until Maurice bought it. Maurice & Marcelle raised 5 children. Charles, Denis, Roger, Louise, and Colette. During their married life, Marcelle enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening, sewing, knitting, crochet, and her favorite past-time was quilting. She enjoyed having coffee and playing cards with friends, neighbors and family. Marcelle loved hosting family at the house and putting on a big meal. Sundays were always a day of rest and Sunday dinner was always a special meal each week. Marcelle was an avid member of the Church. She was also involved in square dancing with Maurice as well as the Club 50, quilting groups, card groups, and coffee groups. After Maurice’s passing in 2003, Marcelle enjoyed some travelling including ocean cruises, trips to Alberta and to the mountains. Her grandchildren looked forward to staying with their Grandma and Grandpa each summer, and at times throughout their lives. She loved to have them over and look after them. She also looked after Maurice, Roger and Louise until the times of their passing. Marcelle had a large, caring heart. Everything about her was strong yet gentle and kind. She had an immeasurable amount of patience and forgiveness. She had a way of making everybody feel welcomed and comfortable in her presence. Marcelle is survived by her children Charles, Denis and Colette (Jason) Munroe. Grandchildren (Denis) Chantelle (Jay Malo), Raymond, Roseanne (Michael) Newman and Yvette (Kyle) Bartoshewski, (Colette) Colson, Josee and Kirby.

Lorraine Rosa Wiltse (McGruther)
It is with great sadness that the family of Lorraine Wiltse announces her passing on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, with her family by her side. Lorraine is predeceased by her husband Murray, her parents Alfred and Elouise McGruther, her grandson Matt, brother-inlaw Cliff Ayles and brother and sister-in-law Cliff and Shirley Erickson. She leaves to mourn, her children; Tracey (Tim) Padfield and Allen (Annika) Wiltse; her grandchildren, Clayton, Carmen (AJ), Laura (Josh), and Nikki (Cody), Lexie and her great-grandchildren Jackson, Ethan, Parker and Aus-tyn; her sisters, Arlene, Colleen (Randy), Holly (Jeff) and her brother Arnie (Kim), as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. Lorraine was born on March 6, 1945 in Kingston, Ontario. She went to school in Rockglen and Assiniboia. Lorraine grew up in Southern Saskatchewan. She married Murray on December 1, 1962 and moved to the Wiltse Family Farm in Davyroyd. She loved being a farm wife, working alongside Murray in the field, working with the cows, tending to her large garden and baking up a storm in her kitchen. She worked in Assiniboia, at the Pioneer Lodge as a cook and she prided herself on her tasty meals for the residents. She then became the manager of the Salvation Army in Assiniboia. In 2002 she and Murray made the move to Assiniboia where she resided until 2016, when she moved to Moose Jaw. She loved being involved in the community and volunteering, she was on numerous boards and numerous clubs, including Rotary, Comfort Jubilee, the school board, the church board, and the board at Crestview. While working at the Salvation Army she put in many hours getting food hampers and Christmas hampers ready. She had a huge heart and cared about those in her community. She also loved spending time with her family, she never gave up a chance to hang out with them. She would do anything for them. She was a great card and board game player! There were many laughs around the table during those games! In the winter, she and Murray could be found at the curling rink, either curling themselves, or watching the game. In the summer, they spent their time camping, fishing, and cheering on the Roughriders. They had a permanent spot out at Thomson Lake, where they had many amazing friends. Lorraine was an amazing cook and enjoyed baking for her family and friends. She loved coffee time at Crestview, and cherished the friends she made there. The family wishes to thank the staff at Dr. F.H. Wigmore hospital for their care during Lorraine’s final days. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a Family Funeral Service was held Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at 1:30 pm in Ross Funeral Chapel. Les Wilcock presided. Tribute presented by granddaughter, Carmen Eisnor.

Sask. Health Authority announces additional health measures The expansion of mandatory masking in indoor public spaces and a curfew on alcohol sales in licensed establishments will be in effect as of Monday, November 16 for 28 days, then subject to review by Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer. “New measures announced this week and those to be considered in the weeks to come will still be based on the fundamentals of physical distancing,
staying home when you are sick and masking to protect yourself and others,” Health Minister Paul Merriman said. “Now is the time for all residents, businesses and organizations to get back to basics. Recommit to proven public health measures and return to the standards shown to work in the ReOpen Saskatchewan Plan.” While COVID-19 has shown that it will take advantage of any opportunity,
the fundamentals of personal protective measures and the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan guidelines based on those measures have been demonstrated to work in preventing transmission. Mandatory masking in indoor public places will be extended to all Saskatchewan communities with populations of 5,000 people or greater. This ruling includes the censuses metropolitan areas – the neighbouring
communities or municipalities situated around the largest urban centres of Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert. Due to their proximity to the urban centres and high rate of retail, workplace and service integration, they will be included even if their independent populations are less than 5,000 residents. The following communities in Saskatchewan were required to wear non-med-
ical masks in all indoor public spaces, effective Monday, Nov. 16: Aberdeen, Albertville, Allan, Asquith, Balgonie, Battleford, Beaver Creek, Belle Plaine, Bradwell, Cedar Villa Estates, Clavet, Colonsay, RM of Corman Park No. 344, Craven, Dalmeny, Davin, Delisle, Dundurn, Edenwold, Estevan, Furdale, Grand Coulee, Gray, Humboldt, Kindersley, Kronau, Langham, Lloyd-

clubs, private citizens and the Town of Gravelbourg, who donated $25,000 towards the shuttle purchase. The shuttle is attracting more passengers and is travelling on an average of 15 times per month to the cities of Regina, Moose Jaw and Swift Current. No matter what age, when anyone is dealing with medical issues, city driving, parking and road conditions can add stress. The shuttle takes that stress away with home pick ups and drop offs at the door, where the appointments are scheduled – it doesn’t get much easier. Out-of-town riders are picked up and dropped off at HB Junction. Assiniboia riders are dropped off or picked up at the junction of Highway’s 2 and 43. Wellness also means more than just medical appointments. Sometimes, one needs a mental break. Before COVID, Gravelbourg Cares provided this service by joining families living apart and offering wellness excursions to local and out-of-town events. For reservations, schedules, information and more – call the Gravelbourg Cares dispatch number at 306-650-7333 and leave the driving to us! With the community’s help, the shuttle’s ridership is growing. Gravelbourg Cares desires to keep this shuttle as a viable service for the community and area. Please continue to support this federal charity, as the community’s generosity is always needed to keep this service running. From the Gravelbourg Cares founders: Linda Roberts, Lynn Holmes and Betty Hawkins.
