In the news this week
By John Cairns Staff Reporter
A furor erupted on social media this past week over the two-week-long closure of the NationsWEST Field House to accommodate religious revival meetings.
North Battleford, Sask. The City of North Battleford has posted ads in the newspaper and put up posters outside the field house, announcing the venue is closed to the public from Oct. 29 to Nov. 13 for a private booking, and will reopen Nov. 14.

While most local residents are only finding out about the closure now, the private rental at the field house had actually been in the works for several months. It had been known since the spring, when organizers first posted details about
their intentions to host a revival event at the CUplex. The plan was for an event marking 70 years since North Battleford’s first major revival event on Feb. 12, 1948, known as “The Latter Rain Movement of ’48.” Continued on Page 3

A “trip” to the museum
Cultural artifacts from the museum of neo-psychedelia By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter
Whether we support it or not, the legalization of selling cannabis marks a significant change. Meanwhile, a whole subculture and its spinoffs have been bubbling under the surface for many years now, and it’s time to shed some light on it. I call this culture neo-psychedelia. Psychedelic culture comes from art and music in the 1960s intended to
replicate, to some extent, effects of psychoactive substances. Psychedelia occasionally makes its way to the larger public through guitar solos or college comedies. Some bands unfortunately decide to pretend as if it were the 1970s rather than take inspiration from it and do their own thing. Neo-psychedelia, as far as I’m concerned, is much broader and vague, loosely associated with ideas of the original genre, but still
removed from it. For the longest time you had to know where to find this stuff. Now that it’s increasingly mainstream and the discussion is relevant, I’m taking the opportunity to present some of the cultural artifacts of neo-psychedelia. It’s worth noting these cultural artifacts are related to mind-altering substances, but not reducible to them. You don’t need enhancement to appreciate this stuff.

Grateful Dead, Blues for Allah
The Grateful Dead is one of the most important bands of the 20th century. The California group has been around since the 1960s and continues in an exciting incarnation today with John Mayer. As a group, the Dead were capable of successfully pulling off a wide variety of genres such as folk, country, jazz improv, funk, rock, rock ’n roll and shameless sugary pop. They even tried disco. Lyrical themes went all over the place, too, and often referenced the Bible, epic fantasy and many metaphors for America. Zingers from Grateful Dead songwriter Robert Hunter include nonsense like “copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono, lLike a crazy quilt star going through a dream night wind.” This is followed by “Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na, Ooh oh oh.” Why aren’t they on the radio more? The Grateful Dead is probably most famous for its concerts, in which typically short songs could be stretched out to a half hour and beyond, mostly with wandering, exploratory guitar solos. I’m always impressed with how they can shoot off into some part of deep space and come back right on beat 20 minutes after you’d forgotten they were originally playing a song about trucking. One such album is Blues for Allah. It begins with mellow funky

riffs, bass crawling up and down, and a percussive block holding everything together. It transitions to a song called Slipknot then we’re brought to electric Disneyworld. Roll Away the Dew sounds exactly like it ought to. The Dead are relevant now because they pre-dated internet music culture by a couple decades. The group encouraged fans to record and distribute their musical performances and the band is strongly associated with tape-sharing culture. Live Dead songs, many of which are on YouTube and archive.org, offer a deeper appreciation of the band as fans can see how the band performed songs not only on albums, but how they evolved over time and even over the course of a tour. It’s not surprising the Dead has lifelong fans — there’s a bulk of publicly available material. Widespread sharing of live performances adds an element to fandom that’s comparatively new for modern artists, but the ideas have been around before Kanye was born.
Pink Floyd, Meddle
Of all the bands whose music continues to be listened to from the 1970s, Pink Floyd is probably one of the most popular among younger generations. It’s been successfully passed down. A representative album, before songs were about politics and the band members got really angry at each other, is Meddle. Songs borrow from genres such as rock, folk, blues and vacation music. The B-side of the record, the masterful Echoes, starts slow, harmonious, cryptic and goes in many directions, from a mellow exploratory jam,
to an epic conclusion at the end that pre-dates the endof-album uplift of Brain Damage and Eclipse on Dark Side of the Moon. The organ is as prominent in Echoes as the guitar. You could also include other Pink Floyd albums on this list.
DJ Screw and Dub
Hip hop and country music have some things in common. They’re both regional and often create their sounds from specific regional identities (such as the south). They both see themselves as minority populations (country against urban elites, hip hop against urban elites and country music fans). Questions of legitimacy surround artists (are you country enough?) and music can divide fan bases if artists sell out, change their sound and get too popular. Much of the lyrics are based on literal events, and storytelling is important to both. The mainstream trend of having performers “feature” on each others’ tracks uses ideas found in both genres. Personalities are name-dropped. Another characteristic is recycling. A lot of country revolves around a set of themes and in general doesn’t stray too far from these. Recycling in hip hop involves using bits of songs as music in itself, and mixers and loopers are themselves instruments. One artist associated with a particular style of Houston hip hop (and a purple drink) is DJ Screw. His beats are extremely slow and you can’t understand all the low-pitched freestyle rap lyrics, but that’s OK. It’s about feel Like the Grateful Dead, this sort of hip hop has a jammy, improvisational way about it. Continued on Page 3

Battle for Canada’s field house use controversial
Continued from Front Directors with the Battlefords Chamber of Commerce were made aware at their regular director’s meeting in March. One of their directors reported that 10 days of revival activities were planned for Nov. 1 to 10, with 2,000 people expected to attend. Since then, details have emerged about the organization spearheading the event — Harvest Ministries International of Kelowna, B.C. The principals are Art and Heather Lucier, who lead the Kelowna Harvest Fellowship. Before, they were senior pastors of The Harvest in Kitimat, B.C., which is also part of their church network. Art Lucier identifies as Métis, and his ministry includes a strong Indigenous component and message. He is also a primary organizer for the North Battleford revival. The North Battleford event is billed “Battle For Canada,” with details found
at battleforcanada.com. The website describes the event as “an unprecedented worship and unity gathering, young and old, First Peoples and all denominations as we call upon God for these 10 days.” They also make reference to political and cultural issues. “Since the inception of Canada, there has never been a greater need to sound the alarm regarding our perilous future. If we do not change course, the coming darkness will be profound,” they stated. “Governmental corruption, staggering debt, a lack of abortion laws and a war for our children and their identity all point to a muchneeded trumpet call.” It is that message that prompted some local opposition. One person voicing concern was local lawyer and field house user, Rob Feist. “The deeper I dove into the people and groups behind the event, the less I
liked,” Feist stated in a Facebook post. “Most of the ‘ministers’ who are coming have open Facebook pages, with heavy pro-Trump, pro-Republican content. Themes completely opposed to Canada’s Charter of Rights abound, and anti-gay, antitrans, anti-abortion ideals are everywhere. There seems to be a push in coming to the Battlefords to pull Indigenous people toward the group’s hard right ideals with ‘reconciliation’ type themes — these politics-disguised-as-religion groups seem to see Indigenous communities as major growth markets. They don’t discriminate — they will let anyone pay the $99 worship fee!” While Feist agreed the group had the right to say or do what they liked, he added “that right can be exercised in a church they pay for themselves, and not in a taxpayer-subsidized community recreation venue.” At a meeting of the
City’s planning committee on Oct. 15, two weeks prior to the revival event, the field house closure was a prime topic of discussion. Councillor Len Taylor sought further information from administration officials about what was happening. “Some field house people were telling me that coming soon the field house will be closed for two weeks for a private function,” said Taylor. Taylor then noted that people with “long term or year or seasonal passes for walking, for other things, they use it every day, are quite concerned that they’re going to lose access to their exercise facility for two full weeks.” Director of Leisure Services Cheryl DeNeire confirmed the two-week closure, and also confirmed the “whole facility has been rented out to Harvest Ministries for their conference.” DeNeire added, “all us-
ers and members are getting extensions on their time on their memberships. They’re not going to lose … they’re going to get an extension.” Mayor Ryan Bater further explained that event organizers “originally requested the Civic Centre, that’s how many people they have planned to come. But we had said no to that because we are hosting the Grand Slam of Curling in January. That is going to take the Civic Centre out of schedule for users for that period of time, and we could not afford another two weeks on top of that.” “They chose the CUplex. They claim to be able to fill it with people,” said Bater. Councillor Don Buglas wondered if the Don Ross gym could be made available to users during that
Museum of neo-psychedelia Continued from Page 2 Dub music (which dub step derives from) began in Jamaica as producers remixed reggae tracks that were already completed. Pre-dating hip hop, this stuff cranks the drums and bass and adds a lot of echo and reverb. Dub can also sound lo-fi since some of its classic recordings were made on old analog machines. It’s slow music, but it’s just right.
リ サフランクVaporwave / 現代のコンピュー
This type of music started as an internet joke. Much in the way a guy named Marcel Duchamp turned a urinal sideways and called it art, vaporwave takes music recycling to absurd extents and uses whole songs as instruments, rather than isolated sections. The most famous vaporwave track is called リサフランク420 / 現代 のコンピュー, by an artist called Macintosh Plus (like the computer.) The song is actually just a Diana Ross song slowed down with added reverb, (but you’re not supposed to know that). This weirdo music rethinks synth-heavy, analog percussion 1980s tracks and adds cheap-sounding effects to achieve disorientation. It’s out of this world. You’re not sure if the singer is a man or a woman or a creature from Planet Tryptamine. Vaporwave often references 1990s nostalgia, like home videos shot at the mall and the Simpsons. I think it speaks to how we adjust (or how we have difficulty adjusting) to all this rapid change to our material culture. For young people, the music steals from the era when life was simpler.
Vaporwave source material was released in a presurveillance age, when the internet seemed far away. This music also has a sense of sadness, as if the golden age has passed. It’s difficult to overstate the importance of the internet to people who dig this music, since they probably spent thousands of hours on there, particularly in small-town Saskatchewan where there isn’t a whole lot else to do. Keys to millennials are in this music, from the nostalgia to the need to calm anxiety, to disregarding conventions of intellectual property and reacting to consumerism in a vague and ambivalent way. Frankly, this music is appealing to young people in ways older generations
might not understand or care about. Vaporwave might not make sense to people for whom a visit to Blockbuster was not a near-transcendent joyous experience.
La Monte Young
Some of the weirdest on this list has rural roots. La Monte Young was interested in the sounds of power transformers growing up in Idaho, and he moved to New York to make those sounds with voice and instruments. The result is often beatless music playing single notes for a long time. It’s slow and hypnotic. Musically Young is interested in things like harmonics. Western music has 12 notes, whereas Indian music has notes within what we consider to be
notes, so it can sound odd or off to us. La Monte Young’s music is static but you listen for unfamiliar sounds embedded within a dreamy drony texture. This music fits very well with our landscape. The museum “trip” is over now. Items at the gift shop are free as long as you have an internet connection.
period for walking. “Just an idea,” he said. Taylor didn’t think that could work. He noted there was combined programming at the field house that couldn’t be moved to the Don Ross. “You just can’t reproduce and organize all that up,” Taylor said. “The people who talked to me, they walk for an hour, they play pickleball for an hour and a half. They combine physical activities there. They make good use of that facility.” While primarily used for sports, the field house has hosted trade shows in the past. Those include the “Battlefords Best” event by the Battlefords Chamber of Commerce, as well as the annual “Try-a-Trade” interactive career fair. But those bookings were for short periods of time.

Letter
Two levels of psychiatric care are needed Dear Editor I believe we are in desperate need of having two levels of psychiatric inpatient care across the province. When there is only one level of care, both voluntary and involuntary patients are housed together. In level one care I have been exposed to some shocking and overwhelming things. I believe that if there had been two levels of care accessible to me when I needed it, I would never have reached involuntary status. If I knew that there was another unit I could have been admitted to, I would have gone to the hospital much sooner than I did. I want to be clear that although I write about restraints being shocking, they are absolutely necessary. I have a great deal of respect for both psychiatric nurses and care aides. In one moment, they are ethically restraining one patient and then are asking how another patient is doing with compassion in the next. I have a lot of respect for the doctors, nurses and care aides who work within psychiatric units. Living with the stigma attached to mental illness, which has told me that I should be ashamed and at fault for having an illness, has not been easy. Stigma makes it difficult for anyone to share their story, no matter what field you work in. Continued on Page 5
Ontario premier may not be a great Moe ally
When you think about it, the Saskatchewan Party should be “Standing up for Saskatchewan.” After all, the reason for their very existence is pretty much spelled out in their name. Of course, the NDP have always taken umbrage with the fact that the conservative-based party chose to title itself after the province. But this is a rather conservative province … or at least, it’s been more conservative than not. Since the 20-year, post-Depression, post-Second World War run of Tommy Douglas’s CCF — a different political party for a different era — ended in 1964, Saskatchewan has seen more days with non-NDP governments than with NDP governments. And should current opinion polls showing the Sask. Party substantially ahead hold up until the 2020 vote, the Sask. Party will have a run of majority governments in Saskatchewan exceeded only by the Douglas government. Moreover, it’s now been 30 years since Saskatchewan has sent a majority of NDP MPs to Ottawa. Since 2000, this province has elected only three NDP MPs. Standing up for Saskatchewan and its conservative outlook should be a natural thing for Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe. So one can only wonder why Moe feels the need to stand up for Saskatchewan alongside Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Admittedly, one would normally expect the Saskatchewan Premier to seek out political allies, especially given this province was standing alone in its opposition
The Provincial Scene By Murray Mandryk
mandryk@postmedia.com to the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax for a considerable time. As Moe pointed out after returning from his second press conference with Ford in two weeks, Ford was elected with a solid majority earlier this year to fight the carbon tax. But there’s another way of looking at this, especially in the context of what’s worked well for the Sask. Party in its long run in office and what it needs to avoid. As you well know, the Sask. Party was formed as a coalition of Progressive Conservatives, Reformers and Liberals as a means of ending the vote split by parties in Saskatchewan right of the NDP. (Really, old Liberals and Progressive Conservatives splitting the vote in this province was the biggest reason the runs of the CCF-NDP Douglas, Allan Blakeney and Roy Romanow-Lorne Calvert governments were extended as long as they were.) It would seem advisable for the Sask. Party to stay on that coalition track and focus on its successful Saskatch-
ewan-first approach. That clearly worked well in former premier Brad Wall’s 2010 national campaign that lobbied the Conservative government to stop the BHP Billiton takeover of PotashCorp. Certainly, one can argue that Moe is still doing the same thing in his “Standing up for Saskatchewan” campaign — the theme of the throne speech that was all about the carbon tax fight. But if you are making a solid argument that this carbon tax fight is all about what’s good for Saskatchewan people and not just a political fight with Trudeau to the benefit Andrew Scheer’s federal Conservatives, there is a better way to go about it than simply aligning yourself with Doug Ford. While Ford did defeat what seemed to be a very bad Ontario Liberal government under Kathleen Wynne, he also came to office with substantial political baggage of his own. And Moe’s strategists might also be wary of attaching the Sask. Party to a new Ontario government already running into its fair share of problems because of controversial policies. Maybe it can be argued that Moe can’t fight this carbon tax alone. But recruiting economists and even environmentalists (some who say the carbon tax won’t work) would be more productive for Moe. Opposition to the carbon tax has to be about what’s good for Saskatchewan, not what’s good for conservatives. Gordon Brewerton Senior Group Publisher

Two levels of care needed Continued from Page 4 At this point I am not ready to go in front of a camera. However, I am choosing to share a piece of creative writing under the pen name of Alice Falling.
We Need Two Levels of Care
As I write this in a psychiatric unit, I’m fighting feelings of deep shame. I came in with dark depression, but now this place is driving me insane. Trying to keep it all together, I have been curled up into a ball, The last thing I need is to hear two men yelling, as security takes them down in the hall. I want to get out of here and hop this barbed wire fence, But I know they would chase me down, and charge me with an offence. I was assaulted by a male patient in this very unit way back in ’09. I give true thanks that at least by now our security guard can tell me that it’s all fine. I’m recently in recovery from an addiction to alcohol and drugs, But it’s harder to be sober in here with all the yelling, and the lack of hugs! For a woman with anxiety to sit between two men, both wearing a restraint, Taking a benzo could affect my recovery, though I feel like I could faint.
It gives me the chills to see a nurse walk by with one hand on a needle, and another on a restraint. I want to demonize other patients, but I know that in my own illness, I have not been a saint. Is this supposed to be a deterrent, so I do not want to come back? Well it is working!! I’m literally counting down the hours, until I am able to pack! Trying to be mindful in here in a place that I just don’t want to be, But it’s something we all need to learn in life, when we do not feel free. I want to live beyond these walls never to return. I’d prefer a gender-specific treatment centre, if I started to crash and burn. I believe we are in desperate need of having two levels of inpatient care. My depression would have never gotten this dark, this whole thing just really isn’t fair. If there were two levels, I wouldn’t have reached the status of involuntary. We would’ve caught it before things got too dark, and prevented my family from getting weary. As I write this in a psychiatric unit, I’m fighting feelings of deep shame. I came in with dark depression, but now this place is driving me insane. Alice Falling

The people he met and road challenges experienced were among his best stories. Leslie will be sadly missed by sons Larry (Monica) of Langley, BC, Lorne (Lorraine) of St. Albert, AB and James (Heather) of North Battleford; along with: six granddaughters: Christy (Thomas) Gage, Leanne (Doug) Burns, Melissa (Rob) Munro, Jenna (Michael) Khan, Amanda Guthrie (Heather) and Megan Guthrie; seven great grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.

IN MEMORIAM
In Memory of
Neil Graham Milne Lamb November 6, 2008
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since you died dad. We miss so many thing about having you in our lives.Your quiet strength, you love of family, farming, horses, your loyalty to friends, dedication to Masons and the Legion. Your volunteerism, your ability to sell tickets and your quick “cheap bitch” retort that no one took offence to.Your love of cards, golfing, your pride in family accomplishments. You taught us many valuable life lessons and you overcome your personal faults and frustrations to become a better man. Thank you and we love you. - The Family

A different perspective on those senior years They’re sometimes called the golden years. But we all know they’re far from golden for some. I’m speaking of being a senior citizen, a person perhaps retired from a job and receiving a pension. Setting the beginning of this period at age 65, as many governments have, was somewhat arbitrary. In the 19th century, German chancellor Otto von Bismark was the first to make it official. In the face of a crisis of destitute elderly citizens living in the streets, he picked 65 as the age of eligibility for pensions, based on the government’s ability to afford regular support for the surviving populace. And what about today? Likely you have seen those insurance advertisements on television. They may picture a smiling, silver-haired couple frolicking in the surf in some tropical paradise. It’s implied that, with the right insurance policy, we have an idyllic life to look forward to – the golden years. But for many the future is far different. In reality, some will live from one pension cheque to another, struggling to put food on the table, pay the rent and so on. No thought of having enough money in retirement to travel to far-off places, and enjoy other
costly pleasures. And not only a lack of funds, but poor health can be a major inhibitor. Not all are well enough in their senior years to enjoy an active lifestyle. However, having said this, the picture need not be so bleak. There are some things that can brighten the picture considerably. One is having a circle of friends and family that we can be a blessing to, and who can encourage us in return. Having those with whom we can enjoy a warmth of fellowship, on a regular basis. Another component is having at least one hobby we enjoy and meaningful projects serving others that are within our ability and resources. But a third factor is the spiritual one. If we are facing the future with the notion that this earthly life is a kind of dead-end street that can be extremely depressing. If we have no certain hope of life beyond the grave we are, to borrow the words of Paul, “of all men most pitiable.” (I Cor. 15:19) Through faith in Christ, the future is not dark, but gloriously bright. (Jn. 3:16) The promise of the Saviour is, “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare

a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (Jn. 14:2-3) And “to depart and be
with Christ ... is far better.” (Phil. 1:23) Years ago, there was a pastors’ conference down in Delaware. During the program, those present paid their respects to
For this season Though not always the same scenario nor the results one hopes for, sometimes a multitude of circumstances and events just seem to come together. That’s how it’s been for me this week. The events and circumstances to which I refer took place not only mere hours ago but even centuries ago. Reaching ahead to tomorrow and then back over the centuries, there are lines of “sameness” permeating both personal and
world events. The killing of 11 Oct. 27 is a horrific example. Last June our ladies’ Bible study group decided to study the Book of Esther. Books were ordered and earlier this fall we cracked them open and began reading the story. That same
a retiring pastor who’d completed many years of faithful service. They saw it as the end of something, but he confidently presented a different perspective. “Do not feel sorry for me, brethren,” he said. “You see, the end of this life is not death, but resurrection unto eternal life; not a funeral but a festival. If God should call me home, it would be but the beginning of life eternal. You have the wrong emphasis when you speak of my having reached the sunset time of life. I am walking steadily into the week Chuck Swindoll (Insight for Living) began a powerful radio series on the same topic. While there is nothing “religious” in the book of Esther – i.e. no mention of prayer or even of God Himself – it presents a powerful message of being available when divine intervention in a dire situation is needed. If you’re not familiar with the story, I urge you to read it for yourself. In the meantime, here’s a brief synopsis: Mordecai, a Jew, raised his stepdaughter, Esther (also Jewish), and she eventually became queen. Cautioned not to reveal her
sunrise of tomorrow.” Pastor and hymn writer William Charles Poole (1875-1949) was in attendance at that conference, and he was inspired by the man’s words to write a gospel song. It says: “When I shall come to the end of my way, / When I shall rest at the close of life’s day, / When, ‘Welcome home,’ I shall hear Jesus say, / O that will be sunrise for me. / Sunrise tomorrow, / Sunrise in glory is waiting for me; / Sunrise tomorrow, / Sunrise with Jesus for eternity.” nationality, it wasn’t until their people dwelling within the realm of King Ahasuerus were threatened with extinction that she came to realize her purpose — she was to be the one to intervene for them. Her response? I will and “If I perish, I perish.” She didn’t perish, her people were saved and Mordecai’s admonition that she had come to the kingdom for such a time proved to be true. Although we’ll probably never know such drama in our lives but may we be open to being used by God, however and wherever He chooses.
