Lighthouse homeless shelter officially opens By John Cairns Staff Reporter Years of effort have come to fruition with the opening of a new 24-hour homeless shelter operated by the Lighthouse in North Battleford. The shelter opened its doors to clients late last month, and its official grand opening took place Monday morning. The opening brings an end to years of effort towards establishing a homeless shelter in the Battlefords. The new Lighthouse shelter is located at 962-102nd St., the former home of the Reclaim Outreach Centre. For Reclaim Outreach pastor Leonard Beaucage, who worked alongside pastor Don Toovey to set up a homeless shelter at that location, it was an emotional day as they saw the “fruit of our labours over the past seven years” come to fruition. He called establishment of the shelter by the Lighthouse an “answer to prayer, and not just for myself but many others in the community.” In 2011, Reclaim Outreach Centre applied to city council for a discretionary use permit for a homeless shelter at their location. They got council approval, but soon faced a number of other hurdles, both in obtaining financing as well as in bringing the building up to code for use as a shelter. The Saskatoon-based Lighthouse later entered the picture. In 2014, North Battleford city officials did a tour of the Lighthouse facilities in Saskatoon, where it operates an emergency shelter with supported living and independent affordable housing suites. “Through those conversations we began to see there was potentially a need that the Lighthouse could fill here in North Battleford,” said DeeAnn Mercier, director of communications for the Lighthouse. The Lighthouse bought the Reclaim Outreach Centre location with the intent of setting up a permanent shelter at that location. They were able to secure funding from the federal government from their Rural and Remote Homelessness Partnering Strategy. That

DeeAnn Mercier of Lighthouse said the project could not have proceeded without funds from the Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs Community Development Corporation. Mayor Ian Hamilton expressed appreciation to the Battlefords Indian and Métis Friendship Centre for providing temporary shelter services for the homeless over the last few years.
Chief Delbert Wapass representing BATC noted a number of BATC clients were already being served at the Lighthouse in Saskatoon and said if it wasn’t for Lighthouse, they would be running up a bill at the funeral home. went towards renovations to put in a fire sprinkler system, a kitchen and washroom and
shower facilities. But Mercier noted the project could not have proceeded without funds from the Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs Community Development Corporation. “We were ready to come here, we were ready to go, and at the 11th hour it looked like we would not be able to,” said Mercier. She said they went to the BATC CDC board, and the organization came through with the remaining funding to make the shelter a reality. That funding was in the

house in Saskatoon and said if it wasn’t for the Lighthouse, they would be running up a bill at the funeral home. “We do have a lot of homeless people who freeze to death, and then we cry after the fact, ‘what can we do?’” said Wapass. He praised the decision of the BATC CDC board to provide funding. “It was easy for us to put our money where our mouth was,” said Wapass. Since opening two weeks ago, Mercier said, the shelter has been averaging nine to 10 people spending the night, but also about 26 people for supper. In addition to providing 36 beds, meals and laundry services, the Lighthouse in the Battlefords also puts on movie nights and game nights

What about rights of cancer victims? Dear Editor I am writing in response to W. Churchman’s letter about smokers being discriminated against. I am a non-smoker. I have cancer, the type of cancer that is irrefutably caused by smoking. This means I have cancer because of someone else exercising their “right” to smoke. I have had the cancer diagnosis three times now. Three times I have had to tell my children that their mother has cancer. All because of someone else’s smoking. Three surgeries and nine weeks of treatments are behind me. My future includes 42 weeks of treatments and checkups every three months for the next three years and annual checkups for the rest of my life. Yes, the rest of my life. If one of those checkups shows cancer, it all starts over again. There will never be a “you are cured of cancer” for me. If I survive to see my grandchildren, they will never know me as not having cancer. All because of someone else’s smoking. I am proof of the danger of second-hand smoke. So are the 20,000 other North Americans who are diagnosed each year with this type of cancer. Each year 2,000 of those 20,000 die. In 10 years that is 200,000 diagnosed and 20,000 dead. As far as the taxes collected from the sale of cigarettes going into general revenue, as Churchman believes, where do you think the money comes from for health care? I can’t even venture a guess how much my cancer care is costing. I am just extremely grateful I don’t have to worry about medical bills in addition to cancer. People with cancer are a minority (thank goodness). What about our rights? What about smokers who are discriminating against us? I consider smokers’ lack of concern for what they are doing to the health of others as discrimination. Churchman is having an issue about the price smokers are paying for cigarettes. I have an issue with the ultimate price I may end up paying — my life — all because of someone else smoking. Please, Churchman, explain how that is fair.

oots Bouquets A boot to the health district that allows people to smoke outside the doors of the hospital. Any idea how it feels to run the gamut of cigarette smoke to get into the hospital to receive cancer treatment?

Pigeon hotel: writing is on the wall Dear Editor A few weeks ago, North Battleford’s mayor, the city manager and city planner invited me to meet with them to discuss the fate of the old Sallows and Boyd Building (affectionately known by the public as the Pigeon Hotel. Hundreds of pigeons make their home in the upper echelons of the old building). Why meet with me? Well, I wrote a serialized three-part story on this historic building that was published in the News-Optimist and as president of the Battlefords Heritage Society, I have a vested interest in the preservation of our heritage buildings. The mayor and administrators straightforwardly told me that the old building was beyond redemption and is slated for demolition this coming spring. I appreciated this heads up and agreed, though with some reluctance. It’s now clear the final solution is the only solution. The building is beyond saving. Over the past two years, two sets of entrepreneurs have tried to gut and clear out the building to ready it for renovations. Both failed and simply walked away after having dropped substantial amounts of money into the project. Unfortunately, the City is correct in its assessment. The building is unsafe – pigeon and rat infested, and structurally unsound. There comes a point when economics and common sense intersect with the historical value of an old building and it makes sense not to preserve it. Despite its storied 100-year history, it should be razed. And, in fact, the city has a responsibility to its citizens to do this. There. I said it.
A community newspaper published Thursdays by Battlefords Publishing Ltd. 892 - 104th Street, North Battleford, Saskatchewan S9A 1M9 Telephone: 306-445-7261 • Fax: 306-445-3223 E-mail: newsoptimist.news@sasktel.net Publications Mail Agreement Number 40051948
So that’s how it goes in the real world. The writing is on the wall. The old Sallows and Boyd Building’s days are numbered. But despite this I muse that the stalwart old building could still be saved if a millionaire businessman with an appreciation for our city’s architectural heritage bought the building, brought in a legion of professional renovators and restorers backed by the latest technical hardware and products, and spent whatever was required to gut, renovate and restore the building – even if it didn’t make sense from a business perspective. I know. Dreamer. It won’t happen. It’s too late to save the old Sallows and Boyd. But the truth is that it should have been saved long ago before the pigeons, and before it fell into morbid disrepair over the years. A succession of city governments (not our current mayor and council) created the downtown core the way it is today (quite a story. I would like to research it and write it sometime) - no plan and no policy to manage our city’s built history. In conclusion, I appreciate the mayor calling me in to discuss. I shall say as well, that the city is showing definite signs of wanting to preserve our heritage buildings in the downtown core as part of its revitalization initiative. This is indeed heartening.

I guess my battery club card is useless now When I was 10, my parents split and I ended up living in Yorkton. This was a big change from living on a farm, for sure, especially since we ended up living in an apartment that was less than 100 yards from the Parkland Mall. We didn’t have money to spend, but oh, how it was thrilling to live so close to the mall. There were two stores in particular that I just loved. One was Coles, the bookstore, and the other was Radio Shack. If I had won a lottery, I probably could have spent it all at Radio Shack. Alas, there were no lottery winners, but there was one very small consolation prize. My best friend, Colin, who also didn’t live terribly far from the mall, introduced me to the Radio Shack battery club. They used to have these little bins of loose batteries, where you could buy individual AA, C or D batteries. The least expensive, and least effective, were the red ones. They had almost no battery life compared to a self-respecting Energizer. But with a battery club membership card, once a month, you could present said card to the staff and they would punch it and give you a free battery. Since everything on the planet requires at least two batteries, it didn’t go very far. But it was something. And it was FREE! Oh, how I looked forward to that free battery. On Feb. 5, Radio Shack announced it is going into bankruptcy. This is not a case of reorganization. It’s done. The company had been done in Canada for a decade, where it was “The Source by Circuit City” and then “The Source” after Circuit City itself went bankrupt in 2007. For any true geek going back nearly 100 years, Radio Shack was home. It was where you would walk the aisle and look at all the doodads and whatnots and think, “I wonder what I could do with that?” True geeks, beyond my pocketbook and mental capability, could do things with this stuff. They could take a breadboard and wire a radio, or use diodes and resistors, knobs and buzzers and make magic. I dare say not one electrical engineer in this country over the age of 30 could resist its charms. I never got into that stuff, but I did have a penchant for something that came and went when I was still a toddler – CB radio. My dad had cabinets full of old CBs, an old tower and antenna on the side of the house, and a base station CB on his desk. By the time I was 12, I couldn’t get enough of them. He once had one in every vehicle, but for reasons I didn’t know or understand, had removed them. Three walkie-talkies, and a dozen radios filled the storage room. Most were “Realistic,” the Radio Shack
rom the top of
the pile By Brian Zinchuk Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers
Association 2012 Columnist of the Year brand. Thus, when I was old enough to learn the basics of wiring due to a Grade 10 electricity class, I dug up those old CBs and put them in everything I could. This was long before everyone had a cellphone. Why wouldn’t we use them, I kept asking? So one went in each combine and grain truck. The pickups got one each.
I even put one in my ’81 Dodge Omni. My friends took great humour at that. Having found a Realistic loudspeaker in this radio junk box, I wired it into my car, behind the grill. Something every 16 year old needed, my friends often pointed out. It was the butt of jokes for YEARS. But to me, it was a point of pride. I had done something none of
my peers had even thought of. And nearly all of it came out of Radio Shack. I still had a CB radio in each of my personal vehicles until 2008, when I bought my first SUV. There was never really anyone to talk to except on the farm during harvest, and the occasional trucker when I was going to pass him on the highway. One time I talked to a trucker on a very late night drive from Grande Prairie to Edmonton, just to stay awake. But I had one nonetheless. Before you laugh too hard, ask yourself – when was the last time you texted someone? Why did you do it? How is a text fundamentally different than a CB Radio? In some ways, it’s a step back from a CB. You can transmit more data via voice than text. But the key thing is the ability to talk to others beyond the distance your voice can carry. That was always the promise of Radio Shack. It truly was a place where, for generations, you could expand your horizons and talk to people. Once it was ham radios. Then CBs. What’s left of Radio Shack is going to focus on cellphone sales. It’s all the same thing.
Radio Shack gave the geeks of the world the ability to speak to someone who thinks like them, someone they might never otherwise encounter. It might have been listening to astronauts over the ham radio, or skip across the Atlantic on the CB (which we would oc-
casionally get). It broke the loneliness inherit in being a geek. Geeks the world over are in mourning for their best friend. I’m one. — Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian.zinchuk@ sasktel.net.

According to Richard Hiebert of the Battlefords Heritage Society, the City of North Battleford will demolish the former Sallows and Boyd building on 11th Avenue this coming spring. In a recent www.newsoptimist.ca poll, 53 per cent of voters were in favour of demolition of the property either to create a parking lot or as space for a new office structure. Photo submitted

According to the news release from the Saskatchewan Council for International Co-operation, they were recognized for their contributions to educating Saskatchewan people about human rights and for demonstrating leadership in building intercultural understanding. The awards coincided with International Development Week. Dr. Pete has written for RezX Magazine, co-produced the television show The Four and has spent her time in education dedicated to working against racism. She has served as executive lead: Indigenization for the University of Regina. “In my work with First Nation Elders they taught
me an important lesson: We are all related,“ said Pete in a statement. “Global Citizenship means to me that individuals must be careful to ensure that their actions do not negatively impact on the lives of peoples elsewhere. We must act in responsible and respectful ways.� In a recent University of Regina article about her award, Pete was quoted on what it means to be a global citizen. “For me it goes back to the teachings of the Elders and our responsibility to respect and care for each other,� she said, “not just in our immediate family, but in the larger community and globally.�

Drinking Alone this weekend at the WDM BCP season draws on community support
The cast of Drinking Alone took their bows to a standing ovation at Tuesday evening’s preview of the third play of the four-production 2014-15 season. Left to right are Jill Jones, playing an escort hired to masquerade as a fiance, John Butler, the man who hired a fiance to impress his father, Danielle Barrett, the other sibling of the family who drinks a little too much, Bernie Cardin, who plays a father who hasn’t seen his children for 15 years for reasons revealed in the plo and Lisa Bilanski, the stepmother who tries to keep peace in the family. Having formed partnerships with over 40 community business sponsors, stimulating business investment in the arts, the local drama group Battlefords Community Players looks toward a continual increase in the quality and breadth of its theatre work. The introduction of formal business sponsorships through partnership agreements has been a new venture for BCP, inspired through a national program called artsVest. On the weekend, prior to dress rehearsal, some Battlefords Community Players cast and crew members of Drinking Alone were shown some of the unique hand-made merchandise from around the world available at Empress Furniture & DĂŠcor, sponsor of BCP’s 2014-15 season. Gathered around the unique bar with stools constructed from upcycled airplane aluminum and Norwegian pine, are: (standing, left to right) set decorator Judy Bishop, actor “fatherâ€? Bernie Cardin, director Frazer Glen, Empress Furniture & DĂŠcor co-owner Terry Caldwell, actress “daughterâ€? Drinking Alone is a play by Norm Foster, Danielle Barrett, (seated, left to right) actress “stepmotherâ€? Lisa Bilanski, assistant stage manager Gift Madojemy Canada’s most produced playwright. and stage manager Cindy Coupal, who also works at Empress Furniture & DĂŠcor. Photo submitted Foster, who celebrates his birthday this weekend, is known mainly for his comedic productions – with a serious side – about ordinary people just trying to get through their lives. Left, Jill Jones as Renee Duchene helps Ivan, played by Bernie Cardin, relax a tense back. Drinking Alone, directed by Fraser Glen, plays Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Western Development as a dinner theatre.

COOL labeling, rail transport key issues for Ritz By John Cairns Staff Reporter Battlefords-Lloydminster MP Gerry Ritz was in his riding Monday after a few eventful days in the American capital the week before. The federal Agriculture and Agri-Foods minister had been in Washington for a series of meetings with House and Senate Agricultural Committee members, where he stood firm in calling for an end to Country of Origin Labelling. In remarks to the noonhour audience of Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club members at the Tropical Inn in North Battleford, Ritz once again condemned COOL labeling. He said the mandatory labelling â&#x20AC;&#x153;caused discrimination and segregation of our animals costing our industry somewhere between $1.2 and $1.5 billion annually.â&#x20AC;? To make up the shortfall, Ritz said â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really hustledâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;are now marketing tremendous amounts of more product into Japan, Korea, China, India, Indonesia, places like that that we did not really consider primary markets for quite some time.â&#x20AC;? Controversy, however, came from recent comments by U.S. congressman Paul Ryan, who in a speech suggested kicking Canada and Japan out of the trade talks for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. In speaking to reporters Ritz did not seem concerned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He actually made a lot more comments than excluding us from the trade talks. He actually did chastise his own government for not having the fast-track ability to sign a trade deal. So he was predicating his comments on as much as it would be nice to say Canada and Japan arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measuring up to their expectations, they have to look in the mirror and look at themselves as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made his comments when I was in Washington, so of course we reacted to them, but when you look at the full body of his address, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more balanced than just saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to kick Canada out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? He added â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to be a valued member at the TPP table, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there to the bitter end, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to walk away by any stretch. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take advantage of and push hard into the Pacific Rim, finalize the Canada-European Free Trade agreement, and make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got other avenues rather than just relying on the American markets.â&#x20AC;? Ritz was hopeful the new composition of the U.S. Congress, with the Republicans controlling both houses, might mean some progress on COOL

He did point out â&#x20AC;&#x153;they still have a quagmire even with them having the majority in both houses, the president has a veto.â&#x20AC;? Still, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buoyed by the fact that the chairs of both housesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ag committee have put an ultimatum down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get this country of origin labeling

fixed. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not looking at anything short of repeal, which is very helpful to us.â&#x20AC;? He adds it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;up to the administration to come forward that actually addresses the shortfall, that is actually in the best interests of and adjudicated by Canada and Mexico to pass the smell test.â&#x20AC;?
That was just one of a wide range of topics Ritz spoke about during the luncheon, with his main focus government initiatives. Oil prices was one item Ritz acknowledged, though he added â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just an oil resource economy in Saskatchewan or Canada for that matter.â&#x20AC;? Another topic of interest was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;concern about rail logistics in this country,â&#x20AC;? referring to the contentious topic of the backlog of grain transport by the rail companies. He pointed to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts including legislation on minimum volumes that they expect CN and CP to handle. During the question-andanswer session one audience member encouraged Ritz to not â&#x20AC;&#x153;let them off the hook,â&#x20AC;? referring to the rail companies. Ritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response was to say more work was still to be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a free-market driven government weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re loathe to regulate but at the end of
the day you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one of the major elements of the supply chain doing less than service.â&#x20AC;? Also, despite some of the speculation at the beginning
of the year about a possible early election call, Ritz reiterated his belief that the federal election date will be Oct. 19, as per the fixed election date law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any change

Council steamed over poor service to customers Bus passengers left out in the cold By John Cairns Staff Reporter Councillors were having a difficult time keeping a lid on their outrage at Monday night’s council meeting over the issue of passengers being left to stand in the cold while waiting for buses at the local bus station. It was a disgusted Councillor Cathy Richardson who
raised the issue at council. She pointed to “an incident at the local bus depot last Tuesday evening when three of our citizens were asked to leave the building and wait outside in the cold.” Richardson said she brought up the issue at SUMA with the provincial cabinet there. She and other members of council were at the SUMA convention in

Saskatoon last week. “I think we need to do something with this. This is totally unacceptable,” said Richardson. She also praised a couple of individuals who responded to the situation. One offered his vehicle as shelter for the passengers while they waited for the bus to arrive, while another got some hot chocolate, compliments of the Co-op gas station nearby, to take back to the waiting passengers. Richardson also noted this has not been the first such incident at the depot of people being forced to wait outside in the cold. Mayor Ian Hamilton said they had contacted certain agencies in the past on the issue but were prepared to do so again. In addition to putting pressure on the local operator of

Pearson Avenue from 110th Street to St. Laurent Drive and on 19th Avenue from Walker Drive to Territorial Drive. The bylaws passed unanimously.

Also approved was a month-to-month agreement with the City of Prince Albert responsible for operating the Provincial Emergency Communications Centre, for the contracted amount of $2,040 per month, to provide enhanced safety for the city’s Community Safety Officers.

building would have been open,” said Lightfoot. “Still, it’s unacceptable that (the passengers) were put outside in the cold in 20 below weather. It was not the passengers’ fault.” Hamilton pledged to pursue the issue further and find out more information.

obtain vehicle and driver information in connection with their enforcement duties, as well as provides a direct line with a dispatch service for assistance. Appointments have been made to the Dekker Centre board for two-year terms. Karen Ulmer, Rob Rongve and Dennis Cann were reappointed while Rob Hildebrand has been appointed to his first term. Cathy Richardson and Kelli Hawtin
have been appointed as City representatives on that board as well. David Dekker, Bill Wells and Jim Walls have one year remaining in their terms on the board. The City has also approved the purchase of a 2014 LB performance contract grader with 185 hours of use from Redhead Equipment Ltd. of Saskatoon in the amount of $231,775.70 taxes included. That is roughly 10 per cent above the budgeted amount.
Land sales raise $17.5 million Staff Despite significant doom and gloom lately about the oil sector, there was some positive news reported about land sales in Saskatchewan. The provincial government is reporting that $17.5 million in revenue was raised for the province from their February sale of petroleum and natural gas rights, their first one of 2015. That brings total land sale revenues for fiscal year 2014-15 to $164.7 million. The next sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights is set for April 6, after the 2015 budget is delivered. According to the news release issued Thursday, among the highlights was the Weyburn-Estevan area receiving the most bids with sales of $8.3 million. The Lloydminster area was next at $5.3 million, with the Swift Current area at $3.2 million and Kindersley-Kerrobert at $694,039. The highest price paid for a single parcel was $3.5 million, from Windfall Resources Ltd. acquisition of a 1,036-hectare lease east of St. Walburg. The highest price on a per-hectare basis was $8,586, after STOMP Energy Ltd. bid $1.1 million for a 126.6hectare lease southeast of Estevan. The $164.7 million total exceeds the government’s expectations. The 2014 budget had forecast $99 million in land sale revenue for the fiscal year, but the final numbers have bested that by about $66 million. “Robust sales in April and August of last year accounted for the increase in land sale revenues over the initial forecast,” said Economy Minister Bill Boyd in a statement. “Saskatchewan remains one of the best places for oil and gas companies to invest. The sector will continue to play a part in our diversified economy in 2015.”

Fishy Happenings Saturday night was a big night for fish eaters in the Battlefords as a couple of major fish-fry fundraiser events took place. One was the Canadian Legion of Riders’ Fish Fry, held at the Legion Hall on 100th Street, in which beer-battered fish and chips were served to a large gathering.
• Call at 7 p.m. on the 1000 block of 110th Street of a man requiring medical attention. Subject located in a residence suffering from serious facial injuries. He was transported to RUH in Saskatoon and remains there. He is expected to make a full recovery. Police have not yet been able to interview the man. At this time no witnesses have been located who have been able to provide an account of what occurred.
Sunday • At 2:28 p.m. members were called to the Moosomin First Nation to respond to a report of arson. Two individuals were witnessed fleeing from a car that was on fire. The fire was quickly put out by the complainant. The suspects were located at a residence nearby, one of whom was found to be on warrant status and was also violating her bail conditions. A 23-year-old woman was arrested and is now facing three new charges of failing

Missing and murdered indigenous women
Ritz says he wants action, not inquiry By John Cairns Staff Reporter Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said this week he doesn’t want an inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women, “I don’t. Personally, I don’t, and a lot of Canadians don’t either,” said Ritz to reporters following a luncheon address at the Tropical Inn Monday. “They want to see action, based on the reports that are already out there, based on the fact that 90 per cent of these are solved, they want to see us come forward with legislation as a federal government that make people feel safe, regardless of who they are, where they’re from.” Safety was the prime concern noted by Ritz. “We want to make sure that everyone feels safe, that they have the ability to be educated, to grow the economy, to go into business, to do whatever they want and feel safe doing.” The issue has received some recent prominence from last week’s Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association convention in Saskatoon. There, delegates overwhelmingly endorsed a reso-
lution calling for an “inquiry or round table” into missing or murdered Indigenous women. Among the resolution’s backers at that convention was North Battleford Councillor Ray Fox, who is running for the Liberals against Ritz in Battlefords-Lloydminster the next federal election. Federal New Democrats have been vocal in calling for an inquiry as well. But in his scrum with reporters Ritz stood firm in support of the Conservatives’ position. Another inquiry, Ritz said, would “take tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars, a couple of years and there would be lawsuits countered back and forth as to what the results are. “At the end of the day we see that as a stalling tactic. We’re looking for action today, and we’re looking for opposition parties to actually support that action rather than voting against it as they’ve been doing.” Ritz pointed to legislation at the federal and provincial levels and changes he says are already happening. “At the end of the day we want to make sure that that ‘action’ makes people feel safe, the ones that are at risk right now,” said Ritz. “There’s also a certain
amount of personal responsibility required as well, but at the end of the day we’re already making some significant changes when it comes to justice issues and the ability to charge these people. Education is a big chunk of it, so that you have that knowledge going in.”
to comply with an undertaking, three of assaulting a police officer and one count of resisting arrest. A 27-year old-woman was also arrested on scene without incident. The investigation into the arson is still ongoing. • Community Safety Officer stopped a vehicle for speeding at 3:37 p.m. on Railway Avenue, and requested assistance after noting other suspected criminal activity occurring. Police arrived and arrested the male driver on suspicion of impaired driving and the female passenger on suspicion of
possession of marijuana. Further investigation has shown the male provided a false name and a stolen identity. He is charged with impaired driving, obstruction, and fraud. The female passenger was also found to have false identification and has been charged with possession of marijuana and obstruction. She was also found to be a missing 17-year-old from Montreal, Que. Both made their first appearance in North Battleford court Tuesday. The investigation into this matter is continuing and additional charges are expected.

Eight Sask records set at 2015 3D Provincials By Craig Beauchemin Sports Reporter The Battle River Archers club in Battleford was a busy place over the weekend. The meet drew 117 sharpshooters from around the province to the Battlefords to show off their accuracy in the hopes of going home with a medal.

Combines drop opening game of SPHL playoffs Sports Reporter The Meota Combines cruised to a 14-3-1 record during the regular season, but dropped their opening playoff game 5-1 to the Maymont Settlers. Tuesday in Maymont, the Settlers got one-goal, twoassist performances from Dakota Tootoosis and Vince Sauvie in the win. Tyler Hubbard added a goal and an assist, while Bryn Walker also scored twice. Taylor Willsey scored the lone goal for the Combines, with Aaron Cadrin and Reid Lamon picking up the assists. Meota goaltender Quinton Gauthier gave up more than four goals for the first time since Jan. 9. Sean Leniuk and Chad Bernier were ejected from the game after a fight. In the other SPHL playoff game Tuesday, the Cut Knife Colts began their championship defense by beating the Glaslyn North Stars 9-5. Kolton Baptiste had a monster performance, with five goals and an assist. Ryan Baptise also had a
six-point game, with a goal and five assists. Other goal scorers for the Colts were Ryan Constant, Ashton Hewson and Kirk MacDonald. For the visiting North Stars Mitch Perkins had a fine night with two goals and two assists. Damien Nordell, Adrian Edwards and Kris Bloom also scored in the loss. Colts forward Stephan Dupuis was given a game misconduct for checking from behind, while Hewson and Brent Blais dropped the gloves. The Battleford Beaver Blues travelled to Shellbrook last night for their opening game against the Silvertips. The first place Hafford Hawks begin their playoff drive tonight against the Radisson Wheat Kings. Game two between the Colts and North Stars is Friday in Glaslyn. This weekend has plenty of playoff action, as Saturday has the Beaver Blues and Combines both at home. The Hawks are also in Radisson on Saturday for game two of their series.

B’fords Roller Derby rolls into another season Submitted We are teachers, students, hairdressers, business owners, early childhood educators, bankers, mothers and more. But everything falls away as we enter the track. Our hearts race, a smile comes across our faces, and for the next two minutes we are athletes. We will push ourselves harder than we ever have before. We will fall down and we will get back up. We will get hit and we will hit back. For the next two minutes we are super heroes. Roller derby is the fastest growing sport in the world. It first appeared in Saskatchewan in 2006 and we now boast 13 leagues across the province. Many leagues consist of travel, B-level, house and junior teams, as well as a provincial team pulling up top players from across the province. Battlefords Roller Derby League began in the fall of 2012. An idea that spread throughout the community had over 60 women show up to recruitment night to find out what it was all about. Despite the lack of resources and information on starting up a new league, the league stuck and is currently rolling into its third season. With no well-established association in Saskatchewan to turn to like in hockey, we have been fortunate to have the support
of our neighbouring leagues and refs who travel across the province to help out where they can. Our competitive season, or “bouting” season, generally runs from May until October. Most leagues break between October and January and start back into practice by the beginning of February, to train new skaters and be ready for the upcoming season. Battleford’s Roller Derby League has struggled with this schedule from the beginning. Last season we were fortunate enough to secure a partnership with Northland Power Curling Centre from midApril through September. They opened up their facility for our practices and we have booked all of our bouts with them for the upcoming season. We have also been fortunate enough to have the Ag Society provide us with space when they have it available. Unfortunately, our schedule still pales in comparison with other leagues and puts us behind when competing with leagues that have been practicing for months. While ice is in their regular venues, teams across the province hold practices during the winter months in school gyms, church gyms and basements, dance halls, old army barracks and warehouses. Literally anywhere with a flat surface. Unfortunately, we have exhausted all our resources and become
that thorn in the side of many people in charge of renting out their venue, which means we have been unsuccessful in finding a winter home. We would like to secure a space for January, February and March so we can begin to compete with other leagues and potentially start planning a co-ed junior derby program for ages eight-18. We would like to give youth an outlet and help them build their strength and confidence through sport. From the start, our league also decided we wanted to help other not-for-profit orga-
nizations in our community. We have raised money for organizations such as Crystal’s Home and the Sexual Assault Centre and we are currently raising money for Interval House through the sale of Battlefords Roller Derby League calendars. We can be found volunteering at events around town and working together with other organizations to make their events a success. Roller derby has come a long way since the entertaining, wrestling-like sport of the 1970s. The strategy and skills necessary to make it a
legitimate, competitive sport have improved. But the best thing about the sport is that it includes women of all ages, body types, sports experience and backgrounds. Some have never been involved in organized sports before, others are looking to challenge themselves athletically and just about all were unable to stand on skates when they started. The training program teaches you to skate, as well as the rules and strategy of the game. It gives women an opportunity to step out of their regular lives, get out some aggression and be part
of a team, all while getting in shape and building confidence while they’re having too much fun to notice. Those of us with families involve our children wherever we can in order that they grow up watching strong, successful women. We are a family and we take care of each other and our community. If you have any questions about our upcoming events, our Fresh Meat program, reffing opportunities or just roller derby in general, please email battlefordsrollerderby@hotmail.com.

Team members Andrea Ornawka, Lauren Ryan, Mia Schwinghammer, Cody Botham, Sean Lockerbie and Davis Dow, are heading to the Games. Coaches Keegan Jackson, Andrea Locke and Brian Gurney are also going. The ages of the team members are between 1517 though Schwinghammer is age 13. She was training elsewhere Sunday, but the rest of the team was able to make it to Table Mountain for the pep rally. They joined a number of “Flatland Freestylerz” on the ski hills, trying out the slopes and practising some of their moves that afternoon. Not surprisingly, it resulted in occasional wipeouts, although one skier surprised everyone else by finding

In an article published last week listing Northwest athletes who are competing at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C. two local athletes were overlooked. They are Amy and Louis Lacousiere from Delmas who are on Saskatchewan’s alpine race team. We apologize for the omission.
Saskatchewan freestyle team members at Table Mountain Sunday included Lauren Ryan, Davis Dow, Cody Botham, Keegan Jackson (coach), Sean Lockerbie and Andrea Ornawka. Photo submitted a way to get right back up on the skis and continue on downhill as if nothing had happened. The Saskatchewan team members are due to y out from Regina Feb. 12 and be at the games from Feb. 13 to 21. Tabor Mountain in Prince George will be the venue. They start out Feb. 14, with slopestyle, which consists of jumps and rails, a sport introduced a couple of years ago. The next day, they do “big air” which involves going straight down a slope and then doing a trick in the air. They will then do a moguls course, which will include jumps. On their nal day of competition, they will do dual-moguls, where they are paired up and race against other people. The day at Table Mountain was a good way for the Saskatchewan team members to get in some practice before the Games, and also allow the other Flatland Freestylerz, who range in age from ve to 17, to participate and have fun as well. The idea, said Cathie Ornawka of the Sask. Freestyle Skiing Board, was to “try and

get all the kids in the club enthusiastic about the sport, we don’t want to make it seem too unattainable for the little guys.” Having the Saskatchewan team there is bound to help promote the sport, she said. “We found after the Olympic games in 2010, we had kids seeking us out because
they saw it on TV and wanted to participate in this club,” said Ornawka. Those interested in more information about freestyle skiing and about Saskatchewan’s team at the Winter Games can visit the website saskfreestyle.ca and also their Facebook page, Sask Freestyle Ski.

Chamber music. We’ve all heard of it, but do we know what it is? As its name suggests, it’s music meant to be performed in a relatively small venue, but that’s not its main essence. Chamber music is written for each instrument to have its own voice; there are no sections, it is an ensemble of individuality. Jaya Hoy, Paul Hyunbai and Scott McKnight let their individuality shine Saturday during a chamber music recital at Third Avenue United Church. The number in the audience may have been disappointing, with about 40 attending, but those who braved the chill of the afternoon were “transported,” as one patron stated. The credentials of the musicians belied the size of the audience, and their own enjoyment could not be mistaken. Hoy, co-founder of the recital series Music for the Soul under whose umbrella Saturday’s concert fell, is an internationally known musician who has trained and performed extensively in Europe, the United Kingdom and Canada. Originally from North Battleford, she has been playing since she was three years old. She now lives in Saskatoon teaching and accompanying students. Last year she was named the official accompanist for Saskatchewan at the National Music Festival where she accompanied four
young musicians. She is also on the board of directors of the non-prot Gustin/Trounce Heritage Committee Inc, established to present musical recitals, support for the musical formation of youth and research and dissemination of information on the Gustin legacy. Also of Saskatoon, McKnight holds a Master of Music in Cello Performance from the University of Ottawa and a Chamber Music Diploma from Wilfred Laurier University. An ardent chamber musician, he has performed with many ensembles, including the Saskatoon and Regina symphonies, and is involved in El Sistema in Saskatoon, a free daily music program for children. McKnight has been involved in various musical endeavours in the Battlefords. Clarinetist Paul Hyunbai, whose expressive performance is a treat for his audience to watch as well hear, holds a Bachelor of Music degree majoring in Clarinet from Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea. He played in a number of orchestras in Seoul before emigrating to Canada. Since moving here, he has impressed a number of audiences in the Battlefords and is a member of the local concert band. The three musicians began the program with Beethoven’s Clarinet Trio Opus 38, which they have also performed at the famed Gustin House in Saskatoon. Hoy explained to the audience the piece is actually Beethoven’s arrangement of
his Wind Septet (Op. 10) scored for clarinet, horn, bassoon, violin, viola, cello and bass. It was an instant hit when it was rst completed at the turn of the 19th century and, at the request of his doctor and friend, Dr. Johann Schmidt, he arranged a version that could be played by just three instruments. Hoy and Hyunbai performed Clarinet Sonata, Opus 167 in B Flat by Camille Saint-Saens, who died at the age of 85 in 1921, still active as a composer and conductor. Among his last completed works were sonatas for oboe, clarinet and bassoon, about which he said, “I am using my last energies to add to the repertoire for these otherwise neglected instruments.” The afternoon was completed with an arrangement for cello by Maurice Marechal of Manuel de Falla’s popular vocal work penned in 1913 based on authentic regional folk songs of Spain. The Music for the Soul recital series was established in 2010 by Hoy and mezzosoprano Lisa Hornung. Both have enjoyed internationallybased careers and have used their contacts to put together exciting and high-prole concerts for Battlefords residents, including local, national and international talent. Music for the Soul has brought in such artists as: Chris Kelly, a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan with a double major in piano and voice who also a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Western Ontario; Continued on Page 18

Audiences notice their passion in the pieces as they immerse themselves in the music. Many familiar sounds such as the cow, birds and mosquitos can be heard in some pieces while in others the dark, mysterious lives of the gypsies are portrayed. Throughout the performance the announcer will describe the songs’ meanings for the audience to better understand. Tickets are $20 and are available at the door.

Strings adjudicator is a versatile performer By Kelly Waters Battlefords Kiwanis Music Festival In the past couple of weeks I introduced this year’s piano adjudicator for the Kiwanis Battlefords Music Festival, Amy Watson, band adjudicator Terry Heckman and Joy McFarlane-Burton for musical theatre. If indulging in the skillful beauty of stringed instruments is of interest, mark March 20 on your calendar as this day is dedicated to showcasing local budding strings musicians. Anna Marie Bekolay, this year’s strings adjudicator, is a versatile performer, enjoying opportunities to perform a variety of music from opera to blues, folk to rock and roll and early music to modern choral music. In short, Anna loves playing, singing and writing in many genres of music. Her current projects include Troubadours du Bois, an early music ensemble
estival Fanfare March 16-29, 2015 Battlefords Kiwanis Musical Festival that explores 14th to 16th century music involving voices, recorders, strings and percussion. A Celtic group, Back of the Bus, is Gillian Snider’s project that combines klezmer, jazz and country. The Bass Invaders is a bass-driven Chilean folk rock group where Bekolay sings and plays electric violin. Bekolay also performs solo for weddings and social gatherings of all sorts, where she gets to further apply her classical training. Bekolay began her musical
training at the age of six. She studied with many wonderful teachers over the years. Her violin teachers include: Sr. Emmelienne Paradis, Marla Cole, Professor Robert Klose and Lahni Russell. Her voice teachers include: Gaye-Lynn Kern, Dr. Donna Slusar, and Sheila Scott, as well as many choral conductors. Bekolay holds a Bachelor of Music in Music Education, Orff Level 1, an ARCT in Voice Performance for which she won the gold medal for the highest mark in the country in 2006,
and Grade 10 Violin RCM. In addition to performing and recording, Bekolay runs a busy music studio teaching voice, violin, recorder and fiddle. Bekolay makes her home in Saskatoon with her husband, Kevin Buzinski. The current tentative schedule, pending final programming, for the 2015 Battlefords Music Festival is: piano March 16 – 18; band March 19 – 20, strings March 20, musical theatre March 21 – 22, voice March 23 – 25, speech arts March 26 –27 and gala April 1 at the Dekker Centre. Admission will be $10 a seat for adults with free admission for performers, award recipients, award donors and youth 18 and under. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door the night of the gala. “A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?” — Albert Einstein

Valley View II residents enjoy an active January By Thelma Kendall Correspondent Hi there! I guess you can say February came in like a lion. It’s a lot colder now than what it was in earlier January. We had some nice weather then but it was very icy on streets and sidewalks. Unfortunately some people have fallen and broken bones, so be very careful, everyone. Most of us in Tower II have been quite active in January. There’s always Kaiser on Tuesdays, shuffleboard on Wednesdays, whist on Thursdays and bingo Saturday evenings. Shirley Tebay looks after the whist and reported Cecile Dupuis came in first, Ken Tucker was second and Louise Haubold was third. Thank you, Shirley, for the scores, and congratulations to the winners. We were all delighted to have the Meota Chorus entertain us with their singing and much laughter from their funny antics. We also enjoyed homemade chili, salad, buns
alley View II and ice cream in January. Thank you to the ladies who prepared this meal for us. Now, for other news – Louise Haubold reported that Arnold Loewin took her to Medstead, Jan. 25, where she used to live and where they have a jam session the last Sunday of every month. Louise had a great time visiting many of her friends and relatives. She wishes she could go back to her old home. She had a fantastic afternoon listening to several musicians entertaining them. Louise added that she tried dancing but it didn’t work out (ha! ha!). Like many of us, Louise! There were 50/50 tickets sold for turkeys. She bought a ticket for $5 and won two turkeys, about 22 or more pounds each. Good for you, Louise!
She says to have a good time, just come to Medstead the last Sunday afternoon of the month and enjoy music, dancing and a great lunch. Sounds very inviting, folks! Louise does like living here and she’s always involved in a great many activities as well. So glad she’s here in our Tower too. George and Nancy Milnthorp had a grandson married Jan. 11 in Banff but were sorry that they were unable to attend. Shirley Tebay had a new great-grandson, Cameron James born to Brennan and Chelsey Tebay. Congratulations! Betty Banson will be away for a month to Innisfail, Alta., where she’s house and dog sitting for her family while they are away on holidays. Hope you enjoy yourself, Betty. Ann Ewanchuk was late with her news last month so she is sending it in now. She says she had a lovely Christmas supper and family gathering at her granddaugh-

their second daughter Jade. Rev. Father Taras Udod did the baptizing service. Godfather was Uncle Rory Jordan; godmother was Roxanne Jordan. Ann attended the potluck supper here at Tower II and Jan. 6 she went to the traditional Ukrainian Christmas
Eve supper in her church. On Ukrainian Christmas Day, Jan. 7, Ann attended the family supper at River Heights Lodge honouring her in-law, Lena Koliniak’s Ukrainian Christmas. She is 95 years old and was pleased to see all the family there. Continued on Page 21

Jump like a grasshopper to get your curling pass Ed, my neighbour next door, was astonished to learn I didn’t have a pass bought for all the days of the 2015 SaskTel Tankard Men’s Curling Championship. I went on the Monday before the Tanker to buy a day pass. I found out I could get a day pass only at the door, not ahead of time. My neighbour wasn’t impressed as he has a passion for curling that ranges between a favourite sport to play and a fanatical fan who zealously watches curling events. He cautioned me I was not serious enough about the curling event at Melville. I told Ed how interesting I found it to see the Credit Union Center transformed
eighbourly Advice According to Ed
By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com
revraymaher@accesscomm.ca into a top notch curling center for the championship. From the walking track each day, I was able to see the gradual conversion from a hockey facility to a curling facility. People were working with such enthusiasm that the excitement was contagious.
Ed was disgusted with me as he said the set up was not exciting, that it was just house keeping. According to my neighbour, the real thrill is watching the curling teams in actions. I didn’t argue with Ed, as the excitement is in the games played, not the ice
surface. When it comes to curling, I don’t have a lot to say because I am no authority. In fact, I’m sure Ed knows more about curling than I will ever know no matter how long I live. The Bible is the authority that enables us to know about God. Many make up their idea of God as they see fit. No one feels they have the right to make up a sport as they choose. To understand curling, you need to watch it, play it, know the rules that govern the sport, how you score it and a multitude of other details. When it is a team sport, one must carefully consider the role of each player.
Most would agree you have to give a sport a fair chance before you decide if you like it or not. A sport may seem too challenging, above your interests or abilities. Some don’t want to share their victory with teammates. Those who are willing to give the Bible a fair chance will find God much greater than they imagine. The Bible makes it clear God is both complete power and compassion. God’s power is clear in the creation and his compassion is fully evident in Jesus Christ his Son. God is not an invention of our thoughts. According to the Bible, God is almighty,
eternal and omniscient and we are like grasshoppers before Him. God is the best and above everyone and everything, beyond whom we are and what we can do. He can become involved, present as a fellow team member seeking for our best game, ever contributing to our victories in life, now and forever. The Bible speaks of it this way, “The Lord stretches out the heavens like a canopy, as the everlasting God, the Creator, his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak as they hope in Him.” The Bible shows the true reality of God.

Active January A child’s right to loving relationships The Rights of Children
Continued from Page 19 alley Ann flew to Kamloops to visit her View II brother Louie Spok and wife Jani. Louie’s health is not very good. He wants all Howard School friends living in North Battleford to know he remembers them all and wishes them the best in 2015. Four of their five children came for supper to visit Ann. Ann wishes to thank Orest and Chris for her trip to Saskatoon airport and then back. When she arrived home, her daughter Erinka left her a bouquet of flowers on the table and had her floor washed and rug shampooed. A note was left: “Payback time, Mama!” Guess you owe her now, Ann. One more huge Ukrainian Christmas supper that Ann attended was at the former Whitkow Hotel. This was hosted by Ann’s granddaughter Lindsay and Craig. I’m sure you enjoyed that, Ann. The last item on this news is that Ann’s son Evhan and wife Debbie who live in Fort John, B.C., have just become grandparents for the first time. The baby boy was born Jan. 25 at 6 p.m. – six pounds, 14 ounces – and named Lane Bohdan. Parents are Mike and Keagan Ewanchuk from Calgary, Alta. This is Ann’s great-grandchild. Congratulations to you all! I had a lovely time at my son-in-law Terry Blanchette’s 60th birthday celebration. Many relatives and friends gathered at the Dekker Centre to wish him well. His birthday was Jan. 25, Robbie Burns Day. Lots of food, visiting and music was enjoyed by all. Terry’s father, Lional Blanchette, celebrated his 85th birthday the same weekend. The family all attended in St. Mary’s church basement to honour Lional on this special day. Pictures were shown on TV of Marie and Lional’s wedding and several of their family. Games were played and a delicious supper was enjoyed by everyone. Get well wishes go out to all who have had the flu or have slipped and fallen on icy streets. Hope you all have recovered. Welcome to all of our newcomers! I don’t know them all yet but hope to sometime. Take care everyone! Til next month.

In February we celebrate Family and Love. Being and feeling connected to people who validate who we are and make us feel accepted, known and loved. The Battlefords Children’s Charter states that a child’s “Right to Loving Relationships” includes: to have adults who believe in your hopes and dreams; to have quality time with family and other positive role models; to be nurtured in mind, body and spirit;” and in the words of one local child, “to bake cookies with my sisters, mommy and grandma!” Many of us – parents, caregivers, professionals and other people who care for and love children – are all doing the best we can. There are, perhaps, some of us who are not – for various reasons. But what if we all committed to kicking it up a notch – doing a bit more or maybe just doing it “better” – for those children close to us, as well as for all of the children in our communities? What might that look like? Giving a child a little more of your focused time and attention is an opportunity to connect, to show interest and give praise and encouragement. Try taking some time to understand a child’s world, their interests and stories. Brene Brown, in her book Daring Greatly writes about showing children our love by making sure they know they “belong” in our families. Brown explains there is a difference between “fitting in” and “belonging” and that fitting in can be a barrier to feeling a sense of belonging.

ties. This year Family Day is Monday, Feb. 16. How will you be spending that day? Consider spending time doing an activity, something outdoors if the weather is friendly, that involves having fun and connecting with children you know and love. There are many indoor and
outdoor winter activities in the Battlefords area, including some special activities planned for the break, and your family can create some of your own. Go for a walk and identify animal tracks, have a neighbourhood hockey game, spray paint art in the snow in your yard with a simple mix of food colouring and water in a spray bottle, to name a few. As a parent or caregiver, be present, pay attention and be engaged and in doing this you will be demonstrating your love – in action. Support your child’s sense of belonging by letting them know you love them just the way they are and that they are someone you are happy to spend time with. Have a happy Family Day!

Deadline: Friday 1 p.m. OBITUARIES SMITH, Marion Enid: It is with deep sadness we say goodbye to our wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother Marion Enid Smith. Marion passed away on January 21, 2015 at Battlefords Union Hospital. Marion is survived by her loving family: her husband of 63 full years, Ed; daughters, son-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Glenda of Spruce Grove, AB: her son Michael of Edmonton, AB; Janice (Ben) of North Battleford, SK: Jillian (Dorian) - Nathan of Saskatoon, SK and Daniel (Alexis) - Jack of Battleford, SK: Marlene of Waldheim, SK; sisters: Olive Jones (Ted) of North Battleford, SK and Doreen Brinkhurst (Raymond) of Gallivan, SK; nieces, nephews and their families. Marion is predeceased by her parents: Harold and Enid Nelson; brothers: Hugh Nelson and Glen Nelson (Lucille) (Helen); sisters: Cora Charbonneau (Slim), Jean Doan (Curly), Eileen Laing (Gordon) and Vivian Bertsch (Peter). The service of Thanksgiving was held on Friday, January 30, 2015 at Third Avenue United Church in North Battleford, SK with Rev. Frances Patterson officiating. The anthem “In The Bulb There Is A Flower” was a special tribute to Marion. The hymn selections were “Part Of The Family” and “Amazing Grace”. Honourary Pallbearers were most special people in Marion’s life: Norma Asmuss, Sandra Schmidt, Jerry Nelson, Betty Nelson and Bob and Connie Balance. On January 16, 1926, Marion Enid Smith was born to Harold and Enid Nelson at Cutknife Hospital. She was the fifth child in a family of eight children with five sisters and two brothers. The Nelsons farmed in Gallivan and the children attended the Gallivan School. Marion then graduated from high school in Battleford. Marion met Robert Edward Smith in North Battleford and they were married on June 6, 1951. They raised three daughters, Glenda, Janice and Marlene. Marion and Ed had a long happy marriage of sixty-three years. Marion loved her home and was very happy raising her family there. Some of the happiest times were spent at their cabin with family and friends. Later in life they traveled to Hawaii, Costa Rica, and really enjoyed an Alaskan Cruise. Ed could not have loved her more, but would have loved to love her longer. Family memories were shared by Marion’s grandchildren. Jillian’s memories: Grandma brought many talents to her role as what I like to call, a domestic engineer. The term ‘housewife’ just doesn’t encapsulate the multitasking of this profession and my Grandmother’s skills were plentiful. She managed a large garden, canned, pickled many foods, most famously her delicious dill pickles and my personal favourite, her delicious baking. My mom and aunts remember coming home from school to the welcoming smells of fresh baking on the counter every day. Grandma made delicacies including top notch ginger snaps, but wow, her finest work was her cinnamon buns. Marion and Ed bought a great cabin on Lanz Point on Murray Lake. They enjoyed this spot with family and friends for forty-five years. Many lifetime friendships were cultivated at the lake, especially with neighbours the Alan and Betty Nelson family, the George and Jean Adams family and the Sam and Irene Nichol family. Grandma proved to be a force to reckon with at game and card playing. Grandma was great at creating a fun atmosphere for that. In 1992 Grandma won a 19 foot trailer at the Lion’s Booth at the fair. Grandma thought nothing of selling that trailer and taking all of her family to Disneyland. We created wonderful memories there together. 2014 was a special year for our family with the arrival of our baby boys, Nathan and Jack. My mom and grandma shared in great anticipation of the arrival of these great treasures. Our four generation Christmas will always be a special one in my heart. Our boys will know Great Grandma through the stories we will continue to tell. Daniel’s memories: For many years, Grandma made a point of making Dad all his favorites for his birthday dinner, and of course with a decadent dessert. Specialties came throughout the year, but especially at Christmas. Since many family get togethers do usually involve food, my memories of Grandma aren’t much different than my dad’s. Now there are foods that won’t ever be right because they weren’t made by her. When I moved back to the Battlefords at the beginning of 2007, I had an open ended invite to Grandma’s for lunch, and I took full advantage of it. I wasn’t just there for the homemade soup and buns though. I really enjoyed spending time with her. When I reflect on her life I can’t stop thinking about how she lived long enough to meet and hold my son and nephew who came into the world this year. Seeing her light up when one of us handed one of them to her was such a great moment. Later in life I’ll be able to tell them about how he got to meet his great grandma. Alexis and I feel very fortunate to have been able to spend a lot of time with Grandma. We were able to see her at her happiest on many occasions. We will really miss her. Michael’s memories: Grandma’s kitchen will forever be a very special place for me. It’s a place we spent a lot of time together. The smell of her world famous cinnamon buns will be something I remember for the rest of my life. When Grandma wasn’t working wonders in the kitchen, she was a very unassuming card shark. She was a ruthless Kaiser player and showed no mercy, even for her grandsons. But my favorite times playing cards with grandma was when she got the giggles. Then it was only a matter of time before everyone at the table was roaring with laughter. They say a person’s eyes are a window to their soul. This was true for Grandma. I have never seen someone’s eyes light up so much when I would walk up to her and give her a big hug. When our visit was almost over I could see this combination of sadness that we had to part, but also the genuine happiness for the time we just shared. Grandma, we are genuinely happy for every moment we shared with you. Alexis and Dorian shared a tribute to Marion based on Ode To A Wonderful Nana by Amanda Hannan: Grandma had enough happiness to make her sweet, enough tries to make her strong, Enough sorrow to keep her human and enough hope to keep her happy You have touched so many lives, in your own special way. Your spirit lives on in all of our memories, And within all of our hearts. Thank you for all those memories! You will live in our hearts, our lives, and our children forever. We love you so much and will miss you immensely! Marion’s family would like to express our thankfulness for all the expressions of support and sympathy at this time with phone calls, cards, food, flowers and visits. A very special Thank You to family who traveled from Ontario and Alberta to be with us. We would also like to most sincerely express our gratitude to Bob MacKay and his wonderful staff at The Battlefords Funeral Service, Rev. Frances Patterson, Mr. Glenn Goodman, The Sanctuary Choir, and the men and women who prepared the lunch at Third Avenue United Church. By the earth that is Her body By the air that is Her breath By the fire that is Her bright spirit By the living waters of Her womb The circle is open, but unbroken The peace of the Goddess go in our hearts, Merry meet, and merry part, and merry meet again. Blessed be, By Barbara G. Walker If you so wish: Memorial Donations to C.N.I.B. – 1705 McKercher Drive Saskatoon, SK. S7H 5N6 or Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation Inc. Box 1358, North Battleford, SK. S9A 3L8. Interment of cremated remains will take place in the spring with the family when the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming. Funeral Arrangements were entrusted to Battlefords Funeral Service. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
BERGERON: Darren Bergeron passed away in Edam, Saskatchewan on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at the age of 51 years. Darren leaves to honor his memory: Sherryl, Maurice, Pat, Kelly and Darryl. Darren was predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Jessie Bergeron and brother, Lloyd Bergeron. The private family celebration of life for Darren was held on Saturday, January 31, 2015. McCaw Funeral Service Ltd., of Lloydminster, Alberta administered the funeral arrangements. Eulogy Hi, for those of you that don’t know us, my name is Darryl and this is Kelly and on behalf of our family and aunti Sherryl we would like to thank all of you for coming today to say good-bye to our uncle Darren. Some of you knew him as Darren, some as Dag and some as Dean. As you all know, uncle Darren was raised and lived in Edam most of his life. He attended school here and most of you even went with him. There are probably many stories that you guys could tell about things you did with him,....some good....some maybe shouldn’t be mentioned but all happened while having a good time. Anyone that knew my uncle Darren knows that he was a kind man who cared very much for Grandma and Grandpa Bergeron. For example when he stayed home to help grandma care for grandpa when he became ill with cancer. Later on he did the same for grandma when she became so ill right up until she passed away in December. I have known uncle Darren all my life and we spent many good times together. He was the first to show me how to play video games and also got me interested in sports. Right up until his passing we shared many phone calls and text messages regarding football and Nascar. He would tease me continually about my team and player choices and I did the same to him. He told me more than once about the Nascar women not having any teeth. We loved to talk about NFL football. I will miss uncle Darren very much because I knew he was just a text message away and that he was always there for me. It wasn’t until after uncle Darren passed away that my dad found out that he belonged to an on-line poker club for five years. In that time he made some good friends who relayed their thoughts of him to my dad. They all said what a good friend he was to them and how much they appreciated having him in their lives. They said he was very proud of his native heritage and that he had many conversations with them about numerous things such as sports, politics, music and movies. He was always up for a good discussion on any of these subjects. I have only touched on just a few things that they mentioned but its not hard to tell that he cared for and was good friend to them. Having said all this, Roxanne and Heidi have been kind enough to invite all of us to the Vawn Hotel so that we can have a drink to celebrate uncle Darren’s life and maybe share some stories. Thank you. Card Of Thanks The Bergeron families would like to thank McCaw Funeral Service Ltd., Heidi and Roxanne at Vawn Hotel and to everyone that was a part of Darren’s life. Your thoughtfulness will not be forgotten. Miss Me - But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little - but not too long And not with your heads bowed low. Remember the fun that we once shared Miss me - but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss Me - But Let Me Go! ____________________________________________________

BLANCHETTE (NEE ST. MARIE), Helen: It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Helen Blanchette on January 5th, 2015. Helen St. Marie was born on the St. Marie homestead one mile west of Cavalier, Saskatchewan, March 6th, 1923. She was the second eldest of 8 children. Helen married Rudy Blanchette November 16th, 1943, celebrating their 70th anniversary in November of 2013. Together they raised 7 children and were blesses with 15 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Helen loved fashion and looked elegant wherever she went. She was a very talented seamstress, one of Vawn and area’s best. Her daughter had hand sewn dresses every season. She was able to put together several patterns to make a one of a kind design. Helen could have rocked the Paris runways with her haute couture designs. Her talents also included cooking great meals for family and friends. The French tradition of meat pies at Christmas dinner was one of her specialties. A birthday was never forgotten. Every one of her children and Rudy could always depend on being honored with an angel food birthday cake, sometimes with money hidden inside. Helen spent many hours with her children at their school and sports activities. She generously contributed to community events in Vawn and was a member of the Vawn CWL, and later the North Battleford CWL. Her agility and long life can be attributed to always keeping busy gardening, picking berries, canning and preserving food to feed her family. The deep freeze and cold room were generally very well stocked. Her flower gardens reflected her love of colour and great designs. During retirement, Helen had many fond memories of dancing, fishing, cross country skiing and travelling with Rudy in their motor home. Since April of 2012, the Harwood Manor gave loving care to Helen. She enjoyed not having to cook and being treated so well. She was thought of a grandmother to some of the staff. Ask any one of her seven children and they will tell you the same thing: “We loved her with all our hearts” - “Children and Mothers never truly part, bound in the beating of each other’s heart.” Author Charlotte Grey.

CHERNESKY: In Loving Memory of Mary Chernesky born October 7, 1914 at Wolia District, SK and passed away January 25, 2015 at Battleford, SK. Survived by her loving family: son, Morris (Elsie) Chernesky of Glaslyn, SK – Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren & Great-Great-Grandchildren: Terry (Angie): Larissa (Joseph) Santiago – Peyton, Jessica (Sean) Brewster – Adia; Natasha (Spencer) Nikkel; Nathan; daughter Pat Chernesky (Fred Olfert) of Nipawin, SK – Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren: Jeffrey (Jennifer); James (Kristen) – Jacob & Samantha; Michael (Candace) – Zoe & Xavier; Kristen (Ryan) Schlechte – Charlotte & Nicholas; step-sister, Katherine Pawlyshyn, Kamloops, BC; nieces, nephews and their families. Predeceased by her husband, Walter; parents: Michael & Katherine Danyliw; siblings: Annie Korpach, William Danyliw, Nellie Antypowich, Rosie Mazurkewich, John Danyliw, Nick Danyliw, Alex Danyliw, Nettie Nahirney, Peter Mykytuk, Metro (in infancy). Shared memories given by James Olfert. Dear Family and Friends, THANK YOU very much for coming to share in the celebration of a most wonderful life that of Mary Chernesky. It is an honor to be sharing her story and some family memories with you! Mary is the daughter of Katie (Bohay) Danyliw-Mykytuk. She was born on October 7th, 1914, the 6th child in a family of 12. Her parents immigrated to Canada in 1909 from western Ukraine, arriving with three children and other family on s.s. George Washington vessel into the port of New York. They travelled by rail across the country to Saskatchewan to the Wolia District, filed a homestead there and broke the land! Opening of the land was all done by hand! In 1918 an epidemic of Spanish influenza broke out which took the lives of Mary’s father and one year old brother, leaving her mother with seven small children ranging from ages 2 to 12. Mary was 4 at the time. It wasn’t long before Mary’s Grandfather from Ontario came to help with the farm, family and finances. Katie remarried in 1923. Mary worked hard on the farm and at any job that came along, including janitorial work at the school, as money was badly needed. When she started school she knew no English, but quickly learned from others and was able to carry on! She talked about wanting to be a nurse but wasn’t able to further her education at that time. We know that she would have made a wonderful, caring nurse! But life went on. In 1932 she married Walter Chernesky who had been adopted by the John Mikulak family, they also immigrated to Canada when Walter was 6 years old. Walter and Mary were the first couple to be married in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church which was just being built on their farm, with a Community Hall and School across the road! Wedding celebrations carried on at the Home of the bride. Mary talks about their first home having very little; it was a mud plaster house. They made a table from left over flooring, used apple boxes for chairs and cupboards and borrowed a couch for their first bed till they could purchase one! They were unsuccessful in drilling for water on their land, so hauled it from the creek 2 miles away. This was for household use and for cattle and horses. Later they moved to a different farm and water was only a half mile away! Walter and Mary were very active in the Community, School and Church, donating hundreds of hours of their time here! They did mixed farming, beginning with binder and threshing crew, then graduating to the combine. Mary worked hard at any job on the farm where she was needed, and especially loved feeding everyone! A son, Morris was born in 1932. He married Elsie Peterson from Hatherleigh in 1956, continuing on the farm but also working at Dart’s Store and eventually his own Hardware business which is now operated by their son Terry; this translates into over 60 years of business in this Community. A daughter Pat was born in 1949; she married Fred Olfert in 1976. She is a Family Physician. After over 40 years of hard work, Walter and Mary retired and built a home in Glaslyn in 1975. They enjoyed their retirement, taking several trips; one was a Bus Tour to Alaska, also trips to visit Brother Alex in St.Catherines, Ontario and to the west coast to visit family as well. Walter passed away in 1990 and Mary was able to live in her own home, with help, till April of 2014! Mary is well known for her generosity, her sharing everything which she could and she DID! She is also known for her good food which she shared amongst all she could! Baking and cooking were an art. She won prizes at “Glaslyn Days” for her Buns and Chiffon Cakes. Mary’s garden was something else! The ground was barely warm and she would be out there planting flowers and vegetables. Her raspberry patch was so bountiful and many neighbors, friends and family left with ice cream pails of huge beautiful berries! And the crocheting; her beautiful intricate work there leaves a legacy centrepieces, doilies, tablecloths – small and large – and she completed creations large enough to be used as bedspreads!! She has shared these with almost everyone in her life! We are so fortunate to have received them. Mary was a woman of strong faith; this faith strengthened and intensified as she grew older, carrying her through difficult times and she was thankful for the support which she received.

LAVIN: Mr. Lloyd Lavin of the Battleford’s passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 29th at the Battleford’s District Care Centre at the age of 52 years. A Celebration of Life service was held on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. from the Battleford’s District Care Centre Auditorium with Reverend Father Greg Elder officiating. Interment will follow at a later date in the Leoville Cemetery, Leoville, Saskatchewan. Lloyd is survived by his loving family: father: William Lavin; sisters: Anne Marie (Wayne) Sorenson, Sheila (Wayne) Turuk, Donna (Dave O’Donnell), Rita (Eddie) Hoff; nieces and nephews: Tara (Ryan) Staples and children Nixon and Davis Shawn Higgs and son Matthew; Blayne (Chelsea) Higgs and children Kade and Clara Skylar and Logan Spence; Owen Dillabough and son Jagger; Kristopher Dillabough. He was predeceased by: his mother: Margaret Lavin; brother: Owen Lavin; grandparents: Thomas (Winnifred) Lavin and Alfred (Lena) Crossland. I am so privileged to be doing this eulogy for a very special person, my brother Lloyd. Lloyd’s journey through this life was way more challenging than any of us could ever imagine. Lloyd was the third child in a family of six. We are all very close in age with only 8 years separating the oldest from the youngest. We were raised on a mixed farm. Working very hard was a way of life for all of us for as long as we can remember. We were raised to “do unto others” and mom certainly policed that with an iron fist. To lie, cheat or steal was not an option. Mom looked for these behaviors quite ruthlessly. In each one of us these values are deeply engrained. These values are what Lloyd stayed true to, through his horrendous journey through schizophrenia. Before schizophrenia took over Lloyd’s life, he was a very happy, hard working popular guy with a promising future. As a youth and a teenager, he was active in 4H, played hockey, loved to snow mobile with friends and ride horses. He even bought and broke his own horse ‘Silver’. As a teenager he had many friends and girlfriends. Everybody loved Lloyd as he was so much fun to be around. In school he excelled with little effort. He worked hard on the farm with dad and Owen and played hard as well. He was just a normal, happy, fun loving teenager. When he left school, he worked for McMurray Excavating in the North West Territories as a heavy equipment operator, building town sites and services. He lived in Igloolic, Inuuvik and Resolute Bay. When he came home he had stories to tell and gifts for everyone. His life was heading in a very positive direction. He developed full blown schizophrenia in his early twenties. This was very hard for Lloyd to accept. I am not so sure he ever did accept it as he was always such an independent, proud man. Like the song you will be listening to next says “this has been a long hard road, with many winding turns” and once you are on this road, there is no turning back. You just carry on and get through it the best you can. Through Lloyd’s 31 year journey through hell, he kept his dignity, he kept his pride. He hung onto his independence as best he could. He kept his gentle, kind nature, and never once, in all these years, did I ever hear him complain. He never put anyone down, and if we did, he put us in our place. He taught us so much about humility, about compassion, about kindness. He never judged, he just carried on. I remember years ago, I was visiting him. I noticed he had no winter jacket. I had a grey corduroy, sheep skin lined jacket that was very warm. I gave it to him. The next time I saw him, he no longer had it... I was quite annoyed because I loved that jacket. I asked him where it was. He told me he gave it to someone who needed it. He could tell I was annoyed and he said to me “why did you give it to me if you didn’t mean it!”. Wow, what a lesson! From someone who has nothing. If you give with conditions, it is not giving at all. My sisters and I all had a very close, very protective relationship with Lloyd. He was so special to each of us. We each have many heart-warming memories we will carry with us forever. He had the best smile that just lit up his whole face. We called it his “cool-aid” smile. Lloyd lived independently for many years and always took pride in whatever job he was doing. For several years, he worked in the canteen as the Saskatchewan Hospital. He loved that job and took it seriously as he always wanted to ensure he was “paying his own way”. He was very proud, and would never take “something” for “nothing”. His quality of life improved drastically when he became a resident at Marilyn McGowan’s home several years ago. He was very happy there and enjoyed gardening and the many outings they went on. He became very attached to this ‘family’. When he became too ill to stay there any longer, he moved into the Edwards home. He was very happy there. He was treated with love and kindness. He had another new family and a good quality of life there as well. Here he had chores to do, and they all lived and worked as a family. Under Wendy and Irene’s guidance, Lloyd thrived. This was such a huge relief and a gift to all of us, to know Lloyd was in such a good place and as content as he could be. This was where Lloyd started painting. When he became too ill for the Edwards Center, he moved into the District Care Center. Here he spent endless hours painting. He took great pride and joy in each of his paintings. When Lloyd wasn’t painting we knew he wasn’t feeling well. We think his focus on the painting quieted the voices inside, and gave him peace. He was so happy to give these gifts to the special people in his life. The District Care Center became home to Lloyd. He loved living here. He felt very safe and secure. Rarely could we get him to leave for a visit. For each of us, his sisters, we are touched beyond words by the absolutely exceptional love and care he got here. From the nursing staff, to housekeeping, to kitchen, to the rec staff, to management and the office staff. How can we ever thank you for going that extra mile and giving such love to our brother and making the end of this tough journey so incredible. You gave him dignity to the end. We thank each one of you from the bottom of our hearts. Memorial donations in memory of Lloyd Lavin may be directed to the BTEC Building Fund, 702-102 St., North Battleford, SK. S9A 1E3. For those wishing to leave a condolence you may do so at www.eternalmemoriesfuneral.ca. Trevor Watts of Eternal Memories Funeral Service & Crematorium has been entrusted with the funeral arrangements.

lor Lisa Zanyk, students may choose to begin the transition to learning with basic yoga postures and mindfulness meditation. Up to 20 students gather each morning by 8:30 a.m. to participate in the program, which is called Quiet Spaces.
Often students arrive by 8:20 a.m., and when the mats are full students may have to wait until the next morning to participate. No one is required to attend the program, but students are finding that greeting their first class with peaceful-

ness and joyful calm makes the whole day go better. These practices of yoga, meditation, and aromatherapy are part of a mindfulness curriculum that is drawn from many sources, such as the Mindup program, says Zanyk. It also draws on other character development and emotional regulation programs, stressing such virtues as caring and kindness. The program is also offered two afternoons a week to staff, who are learning these techniques and attitudes and practising them with their students. The morning student program also runs hand in hand with McKitrick’s nutrition program, so students who may not have eaten at home can learn better. One early indication of the success of the program is that students choose to be there, and come back often.
species, or to create awareness of the issue, simply won’t be on the table.” The University of Windsor’s Dr. Hugh MacIsaac likely knows more about the national implications of these invaders than anyone else in Canada and the United States. He is the Canada research chair in Aquatic Invasive Species and director of the NSERC Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network II. He also heads up the MacIsaac Lab at the university, where he is a professor of biology with the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research. The Prairie Waters Working Group, in collaboration with Saskatchewan’s 11 water stewardship organizations, has invited Dr. MacIsaac to present two workshops on Feb. 11 (Saskatoon) and Feb. 12 (Regina). The workshops
are specifically designed to address expected impacts of mussel invasion, predicting risk, risk prevention and opportunities for eradication, along with species identification and monitoring. In the 1980s, zebra and quagga mussels came to the United States and Canada from eastern Europe, travelling in the ballast water of seagoing ships which discharge the water into our coastal harbours and the Great Lakes before loading cargo for export. From there, these voracious and massively prolific invaders happily attach themselves to pretty well any submerged object, and if those objects move through water (or over land on boat tailers and equipment), the mussels move with them and set up shop when they reach the next destination.

PWOS stop in Meota By Lorna Pearson Correspondent MEOTA — The Prairie Women on Snowmobiles enjoyed their morning coffee with Pearl’s homemade doughnuts, Feb. 6, in the Meota Community Complex. There were 10 ladies who were riders, along with their staff and crew of workers. The men had gone ahead with the sleds on a flat deck trailer, to meet them again in Glaslyn for lunch. The women came from North Battleford in a van but rode the last leg of their journey from Moose Country Station to Meadow Lake on their snow machines. They had started out from Nipawin, eight days earlier.
The women loaded up a box of fresh doughnuts to take to the men. They accepted several donations and sold raffle tickets on a pink quilt that was made and donated by the community of Strasbourg. They also had for sale toques and cookbooks. The draw for the quilt was made in Meadow Lake and won by Bonnie Brooks of Meadow Lake. Riding in the van sometimes gave them a chance to visit with people at their stops, and everybody has a cancer story to tell. The event was hosted by the hall committee and, though the turnout was small, everyone got to visit with one or more of the group and had a very nice sociable time.
This year’s Prairie Women on Snowmobiles are: back row - Barb Batdorf from Meadow Lake, Pamela Stone from Prince Albert, Diana Darbyshire from Big River, Liz Paradzik from Buffalo Narrows and Tracey Persicke from Prince Albert; front row - Holly Brotzel from Prince Albert, Skylar Johnston from Wynyard, Terri Ferguson from Star City, Elma Fischer from Saskatoon and Gerri Moeller from Meadow Lake.

Weather a hint that winter isn’t over yet By Lorna Pearson Correspondent Another cold spell assures us winter is not over, as much as we would like it to be. Nearer to normal temperatures appear to be on the horizon. Welcome to Elaine Woloshyn to our team of reporters, writing in from Mayfair area, northeast of the Battlefords. Like all our little towns, there’s lots going on and every event needs all the support they can get to survive. More and more people are moving to the cities as they grow older, for the added conveniences they offer. Word has come of the passing of Stella Marion of Leoville, a long-time resident there. Her funeral was held in Chitek Lake, in the community hall Feb. 9. Stel-
la’s husband, Swede and her son Al, are buried in Chitek Lake Cemetery and Stella spent most of her summers at their cabin there. Joyce’s latest word from down under is that it’s a good thing the air conditioner works well in the hotel room, because it is just too hot. She’s in Australia this week and not out on the golf course. When they flew from Aukland to Brisbane it took three hours and went through three time zones, so arrived near the same time that they had left. Terry (Turnbull) and Bill Sparkes of Prince Albert celebrated her 60th birthday with a holiday in Hawaii, recently. They are both retired, but both still work. Shirley Tebay’s family honored her on her 90th birthday with a family supper at the home of her son Garry and Roberta, at the farm.
eota News Son Doug and his wife Terri also came from Devon, Alta., along with many grandchildren and a few greats. There were two cakes and a delicious meal. Norwegian Whist was played at one of the Kildeer Apartments Feb. 6, with top scores earned by Ken Tucker, Judy Walker, Irene Nichols and Mae Johnson. It was another pleasant afternoon of entertainment and visiting. What better way to spend a blustery Friday afternoon? It seems the shuffleboard tournament will have to be put off for another week, until Feb. 28 at the Do Drop In. There are just too many things going on and not

enough weekends to hold them. I will let you know for sure next week. The many snowfalls we’ve had this past week have kept the town workman busy and he gets it moved so quickly. He sure does a good job, even clears the back alleys. This makes travel for the many who have to, so much easier and I’m sure they appreciate it. I think there are some good neighbour jobs being done, too which is very nice. The hall luncheon will be held Feb. 21, so we hope to see many folks out for that, to support the hall committee. The new bathrooms are a definite improvement and some new furniture has been added to the meeting room. The demonstration of the new defibrillator took place on the morning of Feb. 9 with about a dozen folks in attendance, down at the com-
munity center. The teacher was Rose Benson. At 83 years of age she still travels around teaching courses of various kinds. Another is the babysitters’ course’ for teenagers. We hope we never need to use the defibrillator, but one has to know how to operate it if we do. The next Norwegian Whist will be Feb. 21 at the bowling alley in town. There will be a potluck dinner followed by some folks bowling and some playing whist. Where the Alpine World ski competitions were held at Beaver Creek Ski Resort at Avon, Colo., the run is at 11,000 feet above sea level. Usually competitions are held where they are between 3,000 to 4,000 feet above sea level. The snow therefore was much drier and different to work with. Canadian Dustin Cook, brought home a silver medal, but the United
States skier had a bad tumble and wound up rolling down the slope, and getting a bad gash on his right leg from the sharp edge of the ski. He had just come back after having back surgery less than a year ago, so had hoped for better results. He was up and walking around before going to the hospital for stitches, but disappointed, no doubt. Lori Pearson and Brett Studer from Lloydminster flew to Cuba where they attended the wedding of their friends, Kristy Lalonde and Lawrence Park. It was a great experience and they had a grand time, enjoyed every part of the trip. There have been no bridge games on Mondays this month nor duplicate bridge games posted for Tuesday nights, so they are taking a break because there are many people away and the weather has not been good.

Winter crafts circle welcomes new participants By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent Mayfair began in 1928 as a hamlet because the railway was pushing its way through the area, alongside a main road. Galvin Lumber Company constructed the first building with J.H. Spence as the agent. As of 1931, Mayfair had five stores, two cafes, a post office, barbershop, poolroom, bank, hotel, service station and three grain elevators. A CNR station was constructed along with a bunkhouse, section foreman dwelling, pumpman’s residence, loading platform by the train station and a water tower for the locomotives ran by steam engines. All were in place, when a fire on Jan. 6, 1931 destroyed two stores, the post office, one cafes and the bank. The mail was quickly removed from the post office before the fire caused more dev-
astation. The past 80 years we’ve dwindled to an almost “if you blink, you miss” community, but we are still on the map! From January through to April, a group of approximately eight women gather in a room in the hall to work on individual projects, such as painting, scrapbooking, knitting, crocheting or other projects from 9:30 a.m.to 3:30 p.m. They each provide their own lunches, but do share some of their home-baked goodies with one another. I’m told they have a blast and are always looking for new faces (men are welcome) to join in on the good times. Early in the winter, Gail Adamur purchased a home in Battleford and is enjoying the move. Her husband Edward passed away two years ago. She has great support from her family and is not often alone. She does frequent Mayfair and still

told by other employees and residents that everyone misses a long-time colleague and friend. Now Dora will be able to spend more time with her cattle and her painting. I viewed some of her paintings two years ago at an art show and tea sponsored by the local library and they are fantastic. We do have some very talented artists in the community. Some of them have engaged in art lessons instructed by Doreen Kalmakoff from Blaine Lake plus other art teachers. Early in January, a group of parishioners from All Saints Catholic Church in Mayfair and Father Doug Jeffrey from North Battleford went Christmas caroling around the countryside. Caroling was scheduled for two days and we didn’t get to everyone’s house that requested a visit. We usually sang three carols, then the priest said a prayer appropriate for each family and then blessed the house with holy water. This is a highlight for the residents residing at Rose Gill Lodge in Rabbit Lake and usually the entertainment lasts for at least a half hour in the afternoon. The people participating were Sharon and Peter Babiy, Lorena Lafreniere, Rick Taylor, Cheryl Bulmer, Maryann Mischuk and myself. We were the guests at Rollie and Jean Pelletier’s home for a Norwegian supper. They are gracious hosts. Their farmhouse is a showcase of 1920s style, with the original furniture from that era. Raymond Stokalko, Mayfair retired school teacher, from Saskatoon won $1,000 from the BUHF monthly lottery. Also congratulations to Bert Heide, Mayfair resident, on winning $100,000 in buying a bonus extra ticket in a big lotto. Knowing people that win makes it more exciting! Former owners of the cafe, Irene and Tom Adamus, were the lucky winners of the BUH draw of $100,000 approximately 12 yeas ago. Both are now deceased. Arriving back to their Whitkow farm, Ron and Heather Buziak got a real taste of our harsh weather early Friday morning after
being in a warm climate for two weeks. A 40th wedding anniversary gift of an eastern Caribbean cruise was given to them by their four children: Kristy (Curtis) Rousseau, Dusten (fiancée Meghan), Tara (Daniel) Carlson, and Zane. The seven-day cruise included Nassau where they did a beach excursion; St. Thomas Island, where they toured the mountains and tropical rain forest; and St. Maarten Islands in which shopping and bartering for the goods purchased was done. This island was inhabited many years ago by the French and Dutch. Heather noted that it is distinctly divided by these two cultures. The name of the cruise is Oasis of the Seas, one of the largest, accommodating 5,400 guests and employing 2,400 workers. There were back in Fort Lauderdale for almost a week. Miami sounded exciting, so they engaged in a shuttle bus tour of the city. It also took them to Key West, which is comprised of 40 small islands connected by bridges. Ron and Heather enjoyed every sunshine-filled day of their holiday and are thankful to their children. Feb. 6, a group of three gals including myself attended a seminar sponsored by Assante Wealth Management for the retiring farmer. We gained a lot of valuable information. Now the hard part is to retain it all! In the evening at Prairieland Park we took in a session which featured the pros and cons in purchasing property in a foreign country. It is very common to know of retired people who own their vacation winter home. I’ve learned that rather than be an owner, it is cheaper to rent. Being a property owner ties a person down to perhaps staying at the same place year after year, paying taxes and insurance, the possibility of vandalism, and maintenance costs. People using air miles when travelling obviously have a “cheap” holiday. You can even rent a vehicle using your air miles. We have used ours on a few occasions. In 2005 Dave and I flew
to Australia. In December 2007, with our four grownup children, we vacationed in Costa Rica and Panama. We stayed in some “wilderness” accommodations with our oldest son being our guide. Curtis is fluent in Spanish so we had no problem with language barriers. He has been a regular traveller to Central America for about 10 years, the big attraction being surfing and meeting many younger adventurous people world wide. Young families moving to the country and being quite a distance from a city is rare. Chris and Tiffany Cherwinski and theirthre sons recently purchased a 40-acre plot with a large seven-bedroom house on it. The former owners were Lise and Rene Chorney, who now temporarily reside in Mexico. The boys will be able to have lots of sleepovers with their friends, as there is no shortage of space. The Cherwinskis are situated 12 miles southeast of Mayfair. Chris grew up on a farm owned by his parents, Stephan and Leanne, between Whitkow and Mayfair, so country living is not a new experience for him. The Chorneys had foster children for a number of years who attended Hafford School. We have a number of local children who are bussed to Hafford with driver Teresa Toews from rural Mayfair. According to the weather forecast towards the end of this week we are to be experiencing much warmer weather (-6 C). This will be welcome to people who participate in outdoor sports or who walk to work. We have endured two long stints of bitterly windy, blustery cold weather, but wait, isn’t it winter? I must admit that the snow that fell on this past Friday was a welcome scene, although it basically blocked my farmyard. Thanks to four-wheel drive vehicles we wiggle out and keep on trucking it down the icy roads. In my next report, I will touch a little on Mullinger’s past history. Mullinger is 11 miles northwest of Mayfair.
Travellers return from Ont. By Helena Pike Correpondent Sunday was a much more pleasant day than the last few have been. The sun shone and the temperature was up to -17 C. The snow that fell was blowing into drifts by quite a strong wind. It was good to see the snowplow out on the roads. Chris and Janet Mackey returned Feb. 5 from Hamilton, Ont. where they had visited with their daughter, her husband Graham and many friends. Sandra Sutherland spent
aseca News the weekend of Jan. 30 in Saskatoon where she attended a municipal leadership seminar. The discussions included many topics such as taxation and community development. April 26 was set for the annual recreation board and Memorial Hall annual meeting at a recent meeting of the Waseca Recreation Board. A
community barbecue is being planned for noon of that day with the meeting to follow. This will all take place at Waseca Hall. Other business at the recreation board meeting included the purchase of new coolers for the hall and the arrangement for new signs to be made for the village. Bruce Sutherland, a former Waseca resident, and his wife Sheila who have lived at Gibsons, B.C., have now built a winter home in Costa Rica where they are residing. Some relatives from this area are planning to visit them in their new home.

Students head into break expressing appreciation By Sherri Solomko Correspondent Friday the 13th – whatever. It’s only as bad luck as you let it be. And besides it precedes Feb. 14, one of the greatest days of the year, full of love, chocolate and TLC. Mother Nature gave us a stark reminder Feb, 5, 6, 7 and 8 that she was still in charge as a shot of snow, cold, blowing snow and generally unfavourable conditions occurred throughout the province. An accident on Highway 21 south of Unity involving a grain truck and a gravel truck Feb. 6 thankfully did not involve serious injuries. This week is national and provincial Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week, although most recognition activities took place last week while school was in session. I could not list in one paragraph all the reasons we should be thankful for these fine folks, including the safety we are ensured with our kids in their care, as evidenced by the lockdown event in North Battleford Jan.22. We take for granted that, when our kids head into the schools, teachers are only in charge of their learning but there is much more we need to appreciate. Shake their hand, bring them a treat, send them a card – they will appreciate being appreciated. Staff and students at St. Peter’s, Unity Public School
and Unity Composite High School are ready for some downtime as tomorrow is their last day of school until after the February break. They return to class Feb. 23. The skating club kids will be ramping up their ice time too as they are busy practising for both regional competition, being hosted right here in Unity, as well as the upcoming annual Ice Carnival held the first weekend in March. Our son Landon Solomko will be attending the upcoming Scotties Tournament of Hearts next week, with a special day in the works for him after he was named “Junior Star” to be paired with Team Newfoundland for the Monday. Showing just how far outreaching and downto-earth curlers from all over the country are, Team Strong from Newfoundland responded quickly to an email Landon had sent them with regards to their upcoming meeting. At the Unity Curling Club, one of the biggest bonspiels of the season is half way through – the annual JayDee AgTech Men’s Open that started earlier this week. Come out and watch some great curling matches. The remaining events coming up at the UCC are the Oilman’s Bonspiel, the Knights of Columbus provincial spiel, the ladies’ open and year-end funspiel. Stop
nity News down at the curling club to see a complete detailed list of what’s coming up or call the rink at 306-228-2212 While it’s still an active rink season, we also know it won’t be long before ball season will be into preliminary stages for 2015. We have softball players on two winter teams who practised and played throughout this winter, as well as players who have attended various pitching, hitting or workout camps preparing them for their upcoming season. Plenty of successes were found on the ball field last year and hopes are high for the continued success of this program. You’ve heard it on live TV as well as read about it in our local paper, the Unity ball diamonds facility is second to none in the province. UMB executive and volunteers work hard to keep not only the venue in top shape, they work to ensure each program is performing at its very best for the benefit of all players. Watch for updates soon on the 2015 ball season. The nominations have closed for the Unity Sports Wall of Fame and soon we will be learning of the teams, builders and individuals who
will be recognized at this event, with their photos to become part of the permanent display at the Unity Community Centre. Watch for details on this event as those being recognized will be announced, along with the details on the honouree dinner/event that is upcoming. In its 35th anniversary year, the Unity and District Heritage Museum is hoping to garner excitement and support for these fine facilities in 2015. With the announcement of Scotty the T-Rex exhibit, the Unity museum is looking to kick off the year in a big way. Please remember the multiple purposes our museum is used for in the community throughout the year and how sad we’d all be if it was no longer available. You can help out in so many ways that include supporting their Sunday pancake brunches, helping cook or serve at these Sunday brunches, buying tickets for their St. Patrick’s Day event, volunteering for some of the work projects needed or telling your friends and family about this fine facility. With 2015 the museum’s 35th anniversary, let’s do what we can to make it a memorable year for the Unity and District Museum. They need our support so do what you can this year to help out either financially or physically – it will benefit us all. It’s that time of year again
when numerous annual meetings are in the event lists. Be sure to do your best to attend what you can, when you can, as these meetings are not held just for the benefit of the business or organization but to also benefit the public and let supporters know of their past year’s trials or success and what they have on the agenda for the new year. When you see retirees and seniors making up a large part of the audience at our churches, local annual meetings, events and activities you wonder who is going to carry the load when they can no longer do so. It’s your community, folks; be a part of it! Give up an hour, a few hours or make a commitment to the numerous groups and organizations that need assistance. It can only benefit us all. With that being said, a big thanks to those same individuals who choose to volunteer repeatedly for groups and organizations to ensure the rest of us get to enjoy the benefits of these services in our town. The honourees have been selected for the annual Celebrate Unity event coming up March 2. This evening, sponsored by the Unity and District Chamber of Commerce, recognizes the great achievements of various community committees, individuals and businesses in 2014. A fabulous meal by Kraft’s Catering, followed by presentations and enter-
tainment by Saskatchewan Express are all on the agenda for the night. Whether you are coming to support one of those being recognized that night or you want to support the chamber of commerce in Unity, who provide many benefits to our community, this can be a great night out to do so. Tickets are only available at Unity Credit Union; buy your tickets before Feb. 20 and save $10. Each week I try to outline in this column the multiple ways Unity has reason to celebrate and this event is a culmination of celebrating the success of many of these organizations, businesses and people. There continues to be a great variety of job listings in Unity so why not check them out in our local paper, the Press-Herald, or on the town website. Come discover the “opportUNITY in Unity”! Coffee row folks are loving the sunshine and the fact that Mr. Sun is coming to see us a little earlier each day as well as heading for bed a little later each night; one sure sign that spring is soon on the way! Reminders were prominent as rowers talked about Valentine’s Day and the pros of remembering their sweethearts for this special occasion. So you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next week.

Librarian Linda Yuskiw welcomed everyone.
orden Radisson She stated that at their last sale in November they sold $1,600 worth of books, bringing in $800 worth of books for the school, so they hope to do well at this sale. Each child received a $1 coupon to be used on books or posters/

Radisson Royal Purple Lodge held its regular meeting Feb. 2 in the Radisson town office with all members present. A donation of $25 was given to Telemiracle. The new bylaws and member cards were handed out and a
new charter from Canadian Royal Purple Society was presented. The Lodge is again sponsoring the poster and literary contest in Borden and Maymont Schools with the topic this year being a healthy brain. The Royal Purple is partnering with the Brain Injury Association of Saskatchewan. The Lodge raffle was won by Lorraine Olinyk. Shrove Tuesday is Feb. 17, celebrated the day be-
fore Ash Wednesday, which in the church season is the start of 40 days of Lent before Easter.

Maymont Central School News
Cow patty experiment results have been tabulated By MCS Staff February is a busy time at Maymont Central School. Teams are competing in basketball and curling playoffs, badminton and archery are starting, and the annual Winter Olympics will be on Friday. The school will be closed next week for Family Day and the February break. Classes will resume Monday, Feb. 23. The results are in for the cow patty experiment. For those of you who have a “burning” desire to know the results, there was some smell but it was not a horrible smell. The experiment was conducted in the science lab Friday. The smell was a lot like burning prairie grass or an underbrush smoke smell. The patty was quite dense and difficult to get to start burning. It did throw out and sustain a tremendous amount of heat for a significant pe-
riod of time. The junior boys’ basketball team attended the Battle West District Championships in Unity Feb. 6 and 7. They lost their first game to John Paul II and then went on to win over Luseland and Macklin. This means they won the consolation side of the tournament. Well done, boys. The senior boys’ basketball team attended a tournament in Hafford Feb. 7. They only had five players but had
a very close game against the North Battleford Comprehensive High School. Sean and Meghan Brehon participated in a swim meet at the Shaw Centre in Saskatoon on the weekend. They both swam very well. Arin Amson, Grade 7, played her first club volleyball tournament on the weekend. She plays with the BVC Gold team. They won the bronze medal. The school community wishes Ashton Harris, Grade

7, a speedy recovery. He was checked from behind while playing hockey in a tournament in Humbolt on the weekend, and fractured a bone in his arm. He hopes to be able to still play in the
playoffs! The Maymont School Community Council held their meeting Monday. They are planning a literacy night soon. The elementary house
league teams are finishing mini-basketball and will start floor hockey after the break. The school division board provided lunch for the staff Feb. 10. This was for Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week.
