In the news this week

Staff In this issue, news reporter John Cairns has put together a run down on the Battlefords-Lloydminster 2015 federal election campaign. Early on, it may have looked like one of the least interesting campaigns across the country. The firmly entrenched incumbent seemed to be the only candidate of note. His appearances in other constituencies were expected to be of more use to the party than

appearances in his home constituency. As Cairns writes, however, the election campaign in the constituency did indeed prove newsworthy, at times for all the wrong reasons. Two of the four parties in the riding saw their original nominees withdraw from the race, meaning a late start for their replacements. Then along came an independent candidate. See the analysis on Pages 6 and 11.

Author, musician team up for Secret Fire Tour By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

Livelong author Lisa Guenther and singer-songwriter Best Kept Secret Girlfriend will be at Crandleberry’s in North Battleford Friday to present an evening of prose and music. Guenther will be reading from her first novel, Friendly Fire, the second place winner in the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild 2013 John V. Hicks Long Manuscript Awards. Guenther is a writer and agricultural journalist based in northwest Saskatchewan. She’s a staff writer with Grainews and Country Guide and has also contributed to the News-Optimist/Regional Optimist. She is currently the president of the Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation as well its regional association for Saskatchewan. She and Best Kept Secret Girlfriend, otherwise known as Saskatoon-based singersongwriter Carmen Loncar, have teamed up to tour western Canada to launch a debut novel and a debut CD, respectively. Friendly Fire opens at the beginning of summer, as a woman’s body is discovered floating in a lake. Guenther will be reading from the novel Friday evening. “The idea for this book actually started in a strange way,” says Guenther. “I used to work at Brightsand Regional Park and one of my bosses there mentioned this story about a near drowning ... everyone was OK, but it was just that idea that something really tragic could happen at that lake.” She says she ended up turning that into a woman being murdered and her body being dumped in that lake. “So it’s quite different, but that’s how writing works sometimes.” Once the story got in her head, she had to write it or it would have driven her crazy, she laughs. So her first novel came to be. Christine Pountney, author of Sweet Jesus and one of the judges for the John V. Hicks Awards says this about Friendly Fire: “The novel deals with its difficult emotional subject matter with a real straightforward courage. You feel, in this book, that you are in the hands of someone who intimately knows the world they are describing, and has done so fearlessly and with passion.” Guenther does indeed know the setting of the book – it’s her home territory. “I didn’t change any of the place names,” she says, although all the characters are fictional. “I did put some real horses in there, though,” she laughs. Despite the inside joke about the horse, the book deals with serious issues. “I’m kind of a light person most of the time when people talk to me, but [the novel] is really serious,” she says. “It’s about violence against women. That’s something I’ve been concerned with since I was a teenager.” When you get to that age you become more aware of things happening around you in the world, she says. “I volunteered at a safe house in Medicine Hat when I was in college,” Guenther adds. “I’ve been following these issues for a long time. But I didn’t set out specifically to write a book about violence against women.” It evolved as she wrote, she says. “It makes sense when you think of the issues you’re concerned with.” About winning an award for her manuscript, she says, “It was really great, because there’s a lot of really great Saskatchewan writers. So for me that was a big honour.” When it came to getting her novel published, Guenther did her homework, result-

ing in her novel being accepted by NeWest Press of Edmonton, one of Canada’s first independent literary publishing houses. “They were actually the first publisher I submitted to, but I did a lot of research beforehand,” says the author. “I read a lot from the independent western Canadian presses so I knew I had a good shot with them, that the book was a good fit for them.” Founded in 1977, NeWest publishes literary fiction, literary nonfiction, poetry and

drama, as well as a line of mystery novels, with a particular interest in books by Western Canadian authors. NeWest publishes 10 to 12 books each year. Guenther says the Secret Fire Tour is going well. “So far it’s been really good. We’ve done one week and the energy and the feedback from the shows has been really good,” she says. “People who have then gone on to read

the book have had positive feedback as well, so that’s really nice.” She admits planning the tour has been stressful, but worth the effort. “It’s a lot of work and a lot of planning and I kind of find it stressful before, but once we’re on the road you’re just travelling and it’s either going to work or not.” Her tour partner, alternative country-folk performer Carmen Loncar, actually grew up in the same area, says Guenther. “She grew up in Turtleford, so I’ve known her for quite a few years. I’d kind of wanted to do something collaboratively but I wasn’t sure what it would be,” she says. “But my main character is a musician and there’s a lot of art in it as well, so I always had that in the back of my mind ... I knew she had a CD that would be coming out this year and we have a lot of themes in common in our work so it worked out really well.” Guenther and Best Kept Secret Girlfriend will be at Crandleberry’s, 1821 - 100th St., from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday evening. “We’re also doing a raffle for the Battlefords Interval House at our show, as violence against women is an issue we both care deeply about.” It may be Guenther’s first novel, but it won’t be her last. “I’ve started on a second one and I certainly hope to keep doing this,” she says.

Dumping can lead to heap of trouble Submitted

Ministry of Environment

Computer components, household trash, building supplies and bags of leaves of grass – these are just some of the commonly-discarded items Saskatchewan conservation officers find left on the side of a road or in a forest cleaning. These eyesores are a black mark on the province’s beautiful scenery and landscapes. While the majority of Saskatchewan residents practice proper garbage disposal and recycling, some continue to dump their waste in visible public spots, often causing more problems than just a spoiled view. The issue can then escalate, with others using the same area to discard their waste. “These materials can pose a serious environmental risk by polluting water supplies and contaminating soil, which can potentially cause health issues for humans and wildlife alike,” says Rich Hildebrand,

a conservation officer with the Minister of the Environment. For instance, old or broken appliances can leak chemicals that are hazardous to the environment, especially near water. Plastics, such as grocery bags and pop can rings, do not break down and can be dangerous for fish and wildlife. Even seemingly safe items, such as bags of branches and leaves, can become fire hazards. “People often dump illegally to avoid paying landfill fees,” says Hildebrand. “But many municipalities advertise special days or time periods when landfill access is free, so we encourage residents to take advantage of those opportunities.” Recycling offers another practical alternative for residents seeking to get rid of waste. There are a number of programs operating in Saskatchewan that collect and recycle products such as old tires, used batteries and electronics, compact florescent

bulbs, oil and paint, plastic shopping bags, and construction and demolition materials. If you’re not sure where what you can recycle, the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council’s website (www.saskwastereduction.ca) can help you locate the recycling resources available in your community. However, those who don’t take advantage of such opportunities and end up dumping garbage or other waste illegally, may find themselves in a heap of trouble. Conservation officers investigate these incidents and those caught can face harsh penalties, including some hefty fines. Recent legislation sets the minimum fine for littering at $500, and in more severe cases, a court appearance may be necessary. If you witness someone dumping garbage or you want to report a mess left behind, contact the Ministry of Environment through the TIP line at 1-800-667-7561, or online at saskatchewan.ca/tip.

Ag Society takes over ownership of Agriplex By John Cairns Staff Reporter

cil authorizing the mayor and city clerk to exercise the agreement to transfer the building. The sale was for the nominal amount of $1 and covers the building itself. The land remains City-owned, but is leased to the Ag Society. The sale ends a long saga of uncertainty about the future of the facility. Previously, the Ag Society and the City shared the Agriplex facility. The City operated it as a hockey arena during the winter while the Ag Society used it when the hockey season was over for their various events such as the exhibition and Agrimex. But the Agriplex’s future had been under discussion for a while. It came under discussion again during capital budget deliberations in early 2013, when council was told the facility would need more than $500,000 in capital repairs to keep it going as a hockey arena. Later that fall, the ice rink was closed due to safety concerns and the ice plant was removed. The transfer means the Ag Society will have the building for the full 12 months of the year. “We’re happy to see it get to this point,” said Director of Leisure Services Bill Samborski about the transfer. Councillor Ryan Bater noted he was “nostalgic about it. I grew up at that rink. I grew up playing hockey, learned to skate. It really tore up my heart a couple of years ago when we were talking about the future of the facility and I was trying to take away my emotions about that place from

the facts about what was required.” He was encouraged that “we were able to put this agreement together, encouraged that the Ag Society sees value in it.” The final decision also means the city remains short one ice surface, a situation

the hockey community has had to deal with for a couple of years. In speaking to reporters afterwards, City Manager Jim Puffalt recognized the need for a new ice surface, and noted the plans for eventual replacement of the Civic Centre call for two ice sur-

faces. “Certainly as we go toward the new Civic, we’re looking at a new twin pad being constructed,” said Puffalt, who added “there’s a number of opportunities to take a look at. So that’s part of our planning process as we go forward.”

Residents take stock after devastating rink fire By Helena Long

Freelance Reporter

WILKIE — Residents looked on in disbelief Oct. 9 as smoke poured out of Wilkie’s Saskcan Community Centre and firefighters set up stations all around the building. The community centre holds Wilkie’s community hall and both the hockey and curling rinks. First called to the community centre fire at about 3:30 p.m., the Wilkie Volunteer Fire Department was on site until 11:30 p.m. Firefighters continued to conduct patrols of the building through the night. Although the engineers’

report is not finalized, it would appear the hockey and curling rinks received the least amount of damage, excluding smoke damage, while the central lobby, food booth, kitchen and hall were destroyed. The official cause of the fire has not been released and the Office of the Fire Commissioner will conduct an investigation. Eyewitnesses say the fire started in a large electrical panel when rink staff attempted to start the ice plant. The rink staff called the fire department and evacuated the building, including two Elections Canada workers and two voters who were at the federal election

advance poll being held in the hall. Comments such as “I feel sick to my stomach” and “You hear of this happening in other communities and think how terrible that must be, but you never really think it will happen in your own town” were made by residents as they watched firefighters enter and exit the building. A press release by the Town of Wilkie, issued Oct. 13, said, “The centre is the main source of activity for the community during the winter months and any interruption of services is a devastating loss to the community.” The fire created the need

for changes in venue. Elections Canada moved the remaining days of the advance poll to the town office. Election day polls have been moved to the former St. George School at 104 - 7th Ave. W. in Wilkie. A number of other events booked for the community hall have been moved to the gym at the former St. George School, including a harvest dance scheduled for this weekend. Flu shot clinics Oct. 28 and Nov. 9 have been moved to the New Horizons Hall in Wilkie. The senior men’s Wilkie Outlaws hockey team, who held 100th anniversary celebrations in the community centre just two months ago, were looking at ice time in Unity, Biggar and Battleford

for their games and practices. Whether the hundreds of fans who turn out for home games “at home” will travel to home games “away” remains to be seen. Wilkie Minor Hockey, with initiation, novice and atom teams, held an emergency meeting Oct. 12. Options were discussed and all teams’ parents made the decision to skate out of Cut Knife this year. The Town of Cut Knife discounted ice time fees for the Wilkie teams. The Wilkie Minor Hockey association had made a bold move this year in an effort to increase their numbers – charging no registration fees or ice time costs to initiation and first-time novice players. The strategy had worked, according to

the executive. Now that parents will have to drive out of town for games and practices, it remains to be seen whether those new players, or even some of their other players, stick with the sport. The curling club was holding a meeting the evening of Oct. 14 to discuss their options. With shock and disbelief still evident in residents’ faces and voices when discussing the fire, and with the town saying, “The extent of the damage to the facility will take some time to be fully determined.” The full effects of the Oct. 9 fire at the Wilkie Community Centre are also not yet “fully determined.” No one was injured in the blaze.

Award-winning bluegrass musician to appear at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts Staff Award-winning American Bluegrass pioneer, Claire Lynch, has been on her first tour through the prairies, with the final stop

being the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts in North Battleford. “This is our first organized and extensive tour of Western Canada. I imagine we will meet up with

friends and acquaintances from Alberta and Manitoba, but I’ve never been to Saskatchewan or Calgary,” says Lynch, who makes her home in Nashville. “I’m really looking forward to explor-

ing more of such a vast and beautiful place.” North Battleford’s performance will take place Sunday, Oct. 25. Lynch has had two Grammy nominations, three International Bluegrass Music Association Female Vocalist Awards and a United States Artists Walker Fellowship. Recently, she received two trophies at the 2014 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards: Song of the Year, Dear Sister, a co-write with Louisa Branscomb; and Recorded Event of the Year, Wild Montana Skies, a collaboration with Rob

Ickes and Special Consensus on their Compass Records Country Boy tribute to John Denver. While Emmylou Harris hails Lynch as having the “voice of an angel,” Dolly Parton, whom Lynch has lent harmonies on several records, believes it’s her solo material that truly stands out. Parton says, “She has one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music business today. I’m so happy to see her shine on her own.” Named by DigitalJournal. com as one of the “10 best angelic voices of our time” alongside icons like Judy

Collins, Sarah McLachlin and Alison Krauss, Lynch is a legend in her own right. On tour, Lynch will be backed by the members of her white-hot Claire Lynch Band, which features soulful, young gun Bryan McDowell (fiddle-mandolin), 20-something virtuoso Jarrod Walker (mandolinguitar) and A-Lister Mark Schatz (bass-banjo). In addition to North Battleford, Lynch will play Dauphin, Man., Saskatoon and the Alberta venues of Sherwood Park, Grande Prairie, Athabasca, Rocky Mountain House, Calgary, Red Deer and Turner Valley.

Secure winter firewood safely and responsibly Submitted

Ministry of Environment

As the first days of fall approach, it can be an unpleasant reminder the frigid days of January and February are soon ahead, along with the need for a secure supply of firewood to keep homes comfortable this winter. Individuals can choose among several options to procure firewood. Dead or downed wood can be cut without a permit or greenwood can be cut by purchasing a forestry permit. “Either way, all harvesters should make sure they know the status of the land where they intend to harvest fuelwood,” said Matthew Burtney, a forestry officer with the Ministry of Environment. “There may be different requirements depending on the land type.” Safety and proper protective gear are top priorities for individuals cutting their own wood, as well as sticking to existing roads and trails. Making new paths can cause significant damage to trees and new seedlings. Harvesters should

also ignore unmarked piles of wood left in the bush as the stocks likely belong to commercial foresters. Special considerations exist in some areas of the province. For instance, pine fuelwood cannot be transported into Saskatchewan or out of the Cypress Hills region due to the risk of spreading the mountain pine beetle and Dutch elm disease regulations make it illegal to use, store, transport or buy elm wood for any purpose. For those who choose to purchase instead, they can get their winter supply of fuelwood by going through a commercial firewood seller. “But you’ll want to ensure that you’re dealing with a reputable firewood seller,” warns Burtney. “They should be able to tell you where the wood came from, whether from private land or Crown forest; and if it is from a Crown forest, they should be able to show you a copy of their permit.” If someone wants to harvest fuelwood from Crown forests and sell it themselves, there are several requirements. A permit is

required and a plan needs to be submitted in advance to the Ministry for approval. Following that, they’ll have to pay dues and fees on the wood. Burtney encourages anyone who is interested in commercially selling fuelwood or who has questions about forestry permits, types of fuelwood and the requirements for harvest and transport, to contact their local Ministry of Environment office.

Squares express the concept behind Centred By Jayne Foster Staff Reporter

Featuring the art of Chris Hodge, a local artist, Centred is the name of the exhibition currently showing at the Chapel Gallery in North Battleford. An artist’s reception was held Thursday evening of last week. “This is a stunning show,” said City of North Battleford galleries director

Leah Garven as she introduced Hodge. “The pieces are fun and lively and they bring the space to life.” Speaking to the group gathered for the reception, the artist said, “The general idea of the show is based on the idea of being centred. I’ve been a Buddhist for quite a while and part of the tenets are the ideas of being centred and aware and in the moment.” Continued on Page 24

Battlefords-Lloydminster Canadians are increasingly concerned with international issues affecting our country and Canada’s role in the world. On these issues, what policies would you pursue?

Doug Anguish Canadian immigration policies must be strict, cautious and planned. Our country’s interests and citizens must be protected above all else.

Such a policy would allow the

immune from the threat of global terrorism. As a government we are contributing in three important ways to the fight against global terrorism. First off, Canada as a country is providing the most humanitarian aid per capita to help those who have been displaced as a result of ongoing conflict. Secondly, we have accepted thousands of the most vulnerable refugees from Iraq and Syria and have committed to accelerate the process, while ensuring all refugees are properly screened before entering Canada. Thirdly, we are actively contributing to the international coalition that is successfully fighting the Islamic State militants who are responsible for creating the turmoil that is displacing people throughout the Middle East. We will continue to take this balanced approach while ensuring the security of Canadians remains our top priority.

terrorists to see an opportunity and great numbers could take advantage of the mass confusion associated with people fleeing for their lives. Terrorism and traitorous acts should not be condoned anywhere in the world. Situations where people flee their country should be faced with military strength. The military’s first priority is to protect the fleeing people by setting up a perimeter of safety within the country of conflict, setting up water and food in camps, and providing protection. Once a safe perimeter has been secured, our military and their allies need to address the situation that caused so many people to flee their homes. Due process must be adhered to before people wanting to leave their country can cross an international border to seek status in another country. People wanting to come to Canada from another land must be able to comply with our immigration rules or return to where they came from originally.

Thanks to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce for publishing the fact that under the Conservative Party Policy we as a country are losing. We are also losing face in our peacekeeping role which the world has come to know us for. Not long ago whenever you travelled abroad, people would say that we come from the best country in the world. That is no longer the case. We have lost big time in the eyes of the world. The Liberal Party of Canada supports free trade as this is how we open markets to Canadian goods and services, grow Canadian businesses and create good-paying, middle-class jobs.

have 34 guys. We must rebuild our ability to stop people from killing each other. It seems the only thing Stephen Harper does on the world stage is export raw commodities and join the Americans in a fight. Yes, our soldiers must be ready, aye, ready but our politicians must be less bellicose. The Conservatives have cut aid to eight of the poorest African countries and shamefully shifted efforts to those who sign trade deals. We must help based on need, not potential profit. Stephen Harper has stopped funding to any overseas program that includes family planning. An ethical win in defense of the unborn? The exact opposite. It will neither slow abortion nor stop any of the 68,000 deaths per year from unsafe abortions. No family planning will lead to even more unwanted pregnancies. Let us once again be the nation Americans pretend to be from when they vacation.

At press time, the Regional Optimist had not received a response from Green Party candidate Mikaela-Mari Tenkink.

Late harvest weather makes for long days The weather has been typical late harvest weather, frosty and tough in the mornings, not fit to combine until noon and then

you can go until midnight. This is thought of as short days but not really. In the past, I found the system would make you quite tired

after a few days. The sucky part of this time of year and this job is that half of your time is spent working in the dark.

On the Hult farm, son Ron has a day or so left on canola. He bought a new Dicky John moisture tester after the last Dicky John was killed in an invasion and assault on our elevator. The first little Dicky was smashed against a wall by some guys who thought they were tough and feeling their wild oats. A new Dicky John had to be purchased but, unfortunately, this new Dicky John, we have found out, is an absolute liar. Its moisture tester is out by two or three points. Using this machine, son Ron inadvertently took off some tough canola. He is now trying to get some dry stuff to blend with the tough stuff so it is in a saleable condition and not subject to heating. Farther west, Curtis is combining away with his new combine and is going right along. It is new to him but it appears in good shape and is well looked after. It has only a 21-foot table. Son-in-law Roland is making bales left and right behind him. They will both be done by the time you read this. On mornings whne the grain is tough, Ronald and

Regular contributor to newsoptimist.ca Curtis are in the elevators turning grain. From experience we know that after a week or more you have to turn the grain in the elevator or it starts to heat. I don’t know if it is the grain coming in warm or the fact bins in the elevator are eight to 10 feet wide and 50 feet tall but we know the grain must be moved to the next bin or it heats or mold forms in the bin. You can’t just pull it out the bottom and dump it in back on the top, it has to go to a different bin. In the Waseca area, there is only the odd field left to combine as most people are done. Those who are done early are sitting back with smiles like cats that ate the canaries or they are sitting there in happy frames of mind with the weight of the world lifted off their shoulders. I know it to be a good feeling. Bradley started cutting green feed in my hills. Looks like it is going to be quite a heavy crop. He sprayed the canola down there so I assume he is going to straight cut it. I expect the fleet to show up any day and then it will all be done. I have seen some eager beavers already starting to put on anhydrous. The farming cycle starts again and I know it is good to get it done. I found in my hills that applying anhydrous in the spring gave a lot more bang for the buck. I am not saying it is right or wrong, it’s just what I did. In politics, the election

race continues with all parties bringing out their platforms on the same day. Is it a coincidence they all choose the same day? Harper and Mulcair are planning balanced budgets. Trudeau is planning a $10 billion deficit. He is doing just like his father before him. He has nice hair and is planning to put the country farther in debt. He appears to be leading in the polls, if you can believe the media. He is not getting my vote. Stephen Harper says, if elected, he will pass a law that no civil servant can wear a hijab to work. I agree with him and no one appearing in any court should be anything but bare headed. Mulcair is wishy washy on this subject as he is afraid of offending these people’s civil rights. What about the civil rights of the rest of us? Justin Trudeau wants to get more information and he is just not ready to decide what he thinks. Lord love a billy goat. Is there only one in three who will stand up for Canada? Joke of the week (as told to my wife Bev by Linda Richards): In the old west a man walked into a crowded saloon with his six shooter and fired a bullet into the ceiling. In a loud voice he said, “I will shoot any man who has been sleeping with my wife.” There was deadly silence and then a small voice from the back of the room said, “You don’t have enough bullets, sir.”

Right, City of North Battleford galleries director Leah Garven and artist Marianne Taubensee at last week’s artist reception kicking off Centred, a show by Chris Hodge.

Squares express concept behind Centred Continued from Page 24 Hodge chose a particular dimension to his pieces to express the theme. “With the idea of being centred, most of the pieces in the show are square,” he said. “If you do it wider than tall, it sort of turns into a landscape. It gives the piece direction. If you do it taller than wide, we are used to having people around, so you could call it portrait mode. Again, it gives direction. If you do it square, it really puts the focus on the piece itself. At least to me it does. You are not predisposed to one direction or another.” He said a square is really a circle with the “pointy bits left on,” which, spiritually, mirrors himself and his journey as a Buddhist. The pieces in the show are multi media. There are textural paintings on canvas, plywood and Terraskin as well as steel sculptures. All the pieces are abstract, which Hodge finds to be an honest sort of art. In an interview with the Regional Optimist recently, Hodge said, “I find abstract to be more honest. You’re not trying to fool somebody into thinking it is a tree or a wood or something. It’s paint on canvas, or plywood, or whatever you’re using.” He would like to think every piece he creates is something different to each person who sees it. “It’s paint on a canvas, and any feelings you get from it, those are your feelings.” Hodge has been working as an artist in the Battlefords for the past 14 years. He spent most of his adult life working as a mechanical technician then computer programmer in Ontario, hailing originally from Hamilton. When he retired, he moved to North Battleford to help with his family and has been here ever since. Retirement gave him the

The Saskatchewan Catholic Connections Committee commissioned the creation of the monument to acknowledge the work the sisters have done in Saskatchewan in the areas of education, health care and social services. The unveiling, a mass and a banquet were hosted in celebration. The Apostolic Nuncio to Canada, Most Rev. Luigi Bonazzi, representatives of the Catholic Bishops of Saskatchewan, representatives of the Government of Saskatchewan and many other dignitaries, donors and guests were present to honour the legacy of 5,500 Catholic sisters who contributed to the growth and development of the province. The monument, titled Called to Serve, stands in Wascana Park in Regina.

Sedums add colour late in the season By Erl Svendsen Come early September and into October, most gardens are done – many annuals have petered out or been damaged by near freezing night-time temperatures, many perennials are past their prime even though some may still be putting on a show like false sunflower, Joe Pye Weed and others and trees have started dropping their leaves. Most of the colour at this time of year comes from the evolving yellows and reds of tree and shrub leaves like Amur maple, Fall gold ash, burning bush and nannyberry. And if you’ve grown ornamental grasses, they are now mostly a uniform tan (although taller specimens will continue to provide a visual and aural display throughout the winter over top the snow). But early September is far too early to give up on flowering plants. Especially in the face of the fine weather extending well into October we have now and have been experiencing the last few years. One herbaceous perennial that starts to add its blooms to the ever-changing garden panoply late in the season until snowfall is autumn stonecrop (aka autumn sedum). Autumn stonecrop is an easy-care, robust succulent

arden Chat with large, fleshy, oval leaves. Depending on the species and cultivar, some can reach up to 75 centimetres tall by 60 centimetres wide, although most are usually around 45 centimetres tall and wide (to tame the taller varieties, you can pinch them back by half in June). Leaf colours include light to dark green, variegated green with white/ cream/yellow, bronze and dark red. But it is the clusters of dozens and dozens of tiny flowers forming large broccoli-like heads in shades of white, purple, lavender, pink, salmon or red held above the foliage that are the real show stoppers late in the season. The taller varieties make good cut flowers in fall bouquets. Like most succulents, autumn stonecrop prefers full sun and well-drained soil kept dry to evenly moist – standing water is its bête noire. It is particularly tolerant of poor soils and is considered drought tolerant. For those who live on acreages, deer and rabbits apparently prefer to eat more palatable fare. They avoid sedums as a rule. Leave the dried seed

heads for winter interest. Clean up in early spring before new growth starts. Divide plants in spring once established. Cultivars worth trying: Autumn Charm: 45 centimetres tall by 60 centimetres wide; yellow with green centre foliage; compact mound; light coral pink flowers fading to red over time. Autumn Delight: 45 centimetres tall by 60 centimetres wide; variegated chartreuse and blue-green foliage; compact mound; shell pink flowers fading to red over time. Autumn Fire: 75 centimetres tall by 60 centimetres wide; greyishgreen foliage; denser, more upright than Autumn Joy; rose-coloured flowers. Autumn Joy: 60 centimetres tall and wide; greyish-green foliage; upright, spreading habit; salmon pink flowers deepening to bronzy red. Brilliant: 45 – 60 centimetres tall and wide; light green foliage; upright, spreading habit; mauvepink flowers. Frosty Morn: 60 centimetres tall by 45 centimetres wide; white-edged greyish-green foliage; upright, spreading habit; white flowers. Mediovariegatum: 50 centimetres tall by 45 centimetres wide; green-edged buttery yellow leaves; up-

Aphids can create a sticky landscape It would not be fall without aphids in the garden, I think. Often we don’t notice the aphid itself but do notice the sap-like substance under the infected trees. This is not sap but “honeydew,” which is effectively aphid droppings. When there are heavy infestations of aphids, large amounts of “honeydew” will collect on the leaves, sidewalks and cars that happen to be located under the infected trees. Aphids are soft-bodied insects that range in size from two to three millimetres in length, are generally pear shaped and come in many colours. They may or may not have wings. They feed by piercing the plant tissue and sucking out the juices of the plant. They prefer to dine on new growth that is succulent and tender like shoots, buds and the underside of leaves. As they eat, they excrete honeydew. As with many pest problems, aphid control begins with good cultural practices. If your trees and shrubs are in good health and receive adequate moisture they can likely withstand most aphid infestations. In the fall, clean up plant debris as over wintering eggs are generally laid in the crevices of plant material. By doing a good fall cleanup numbers can be reduced. When combating any

pest problem, it is also important to understand the lifecycle of a pest. There are many different species of aphids, each having its own life cycle, however there are some features that are similar with all species. One of the most common features of aphids is that they are incredibly prolific. Wingless adult females can produce up to 50 to 100 offspring. Even more amazing is that within about a week the newly born aphid becomes a reproducing adult that can then produce up to five offspring per day for up to 30 days. What is even more amazing is that with most species of aphids reproduction is accomplished without the help of male aphids in a process called parthenogenesis. When female aphids reproduce parthenogenetically, instead of laying eggs they give birth directly to smaller versions of themselves. The average life cycle of an aphid begins in

the spring when the over wintered egg hatches. This produces a wingless female aphid that soon parthenogenetically produces more wingless females. Their individual lifespan is short but generations of wingless females will survive one another until hot weather comes or the plant they are living on dies. At this time, some of the females will grow wings and fly off. Typically, late in the year when winter is approaching, some aphids will develop into both males and females. Sexual reproduction takes place and the females will lay fertilized eggs on the chosen host plant. Next spring, females will hatch from the eggs and the cycle continues. Aphids are preyed on by a wide range of natural predators, including ladybird beetles, lacewing flies and syrphid flies. However, in some cases the aphids are present in much higher numbers than

their predators. When this happens it is a good idea to exercise control measures. The least toxic alternative always takes more work. You can spray the infected tree frequently with water at high pressure. This will wash away some aphids and kill others with the impact of the water. Insecticides

such as insecticidal soap and pyrethrums are a less toxic “chemical” control followed by Ambush as the next least toxic alternative for mammalian species. Malathion and other wide spectrum insecticides will also provide control. Please always follow the specific product instructions and use

The Right to Learn

Learning doesn’t just happen at school Submitted BECCPN

The Battlefords Children’s Charter (2013) sets out a vision for children – everyone under the age of 18 years old – to have the freedom to grow as individuals. It is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which states, “rights are things that every child should have or be able to do.” The fifth right included on the Battlefords Children’s Charter is the Right to Learn, which states that every child deserves:

• To have early experiences that will build the brain, which prepares them to achieve their fullest potential; • To become a confident learner and maintain an excitement for learning; • To have quality education; and • In the words of local children to “have caring environments where teachers respect us and are kind.” As the lazy days of summer quickly slip by and we return to our regular routines and busy schedules, learning and education are often in the forefront as school halls, classrooms

LEARN L – Lifelong E – Experiences A – Always R — Rewarding N – Nurturing

The

Rights of Children

Prepared by the Battlefords and Area Early Childhood Community Planning Network

Battlefords Children’s Charter and playgrounds start to fill with young, inquisitive minds once again. So often we associate learning with school and the education system where quality formal education plays a key role in our children’s basis of learning but we need to remember that this is not the only environment where children learn. Over and over again we lump learning in with school and teaching. We fail to remember learning happens in every part of a child’s life from the very beginning and that everyone involved in that child’s life plays a vital role. One definition of learn taken from the MerriamWebster dictionary is: learn – verb, to gain knowledge or skill by studying,

practising, being taught or experiencing something. Classroom-based learning fits well with this definition and does not minimize the importance of our children having access to quality education and how it benefits. However, it’s important to recognize that a large portion of learning for our children takes place from experiences outside the confines of a classroom and much learning happens before a child ever sets foot at school. Research taken from the Best Start Resource Centre Conference on the science of Early Childhood Development shows that 90 per cent of brain development happens by age six. During these first six

years the brain undergoes rapid growth where basic abilities are being formed and strengthened. These abilities include areas of development like language, hearing, vision, emotional control and gross and fine motor skills. Recognizing that kids learn through play, we should keep in mind playful experiences are learning experiences. When we give our children chances to learn by making it interesting, fun and exciting to them, we are motivating them to learn. This plays a huge role in their development; it impacts their personality, talents, physical abilities (movement), thinking and problem solving skills that will affect them right now and in the future. Providing opportunities with a variety of experiences is an essential part of a child’s brain development and benefits not only the child, but the entire community. Play gives children opportunities to gain knowledge where they are learning to make sense of the world around them

and how to deal with reallife challenges by engaging in new experiences and environments. We need to work towards building positive quality learning environments and experiences for our children at home, school and in the community. Strong Beginnings, Brighter Futures is the theme that the Battlefords Early Childhood Community Planning Network has taken on to promote and support early childhood development in the Battlefords. These experiences are essential tools to build a brighter future for our children where they can better themselves and achieve dreams to prepare them for the world they will work, play and learn in as adults. Let’s work to create a community of active, confident learners who continue to find excitement to learn. After all, it’s their right. — This submission is the eighth in a series prompted by the Battlefords Early Childhood Community Planning Network.

IN MEMORIAM

OBITUARIES KUJAWA: With deep sadness, the family announces the death of Nick Kujawa on October 1. Nick was born in what was then Poland in 1922, and arrived in the St. Walburg district with his family in 1928. He was predeceased by his father Jacob and mother Vera in 1984, and by his siblings Katie, Mary, and Serge. He was also predeceased by his wife Patricia in 2002 which was a particularly devastating loss. He is survived by his son Mark (his wife Pamela and son Randy). Nick took over the family farm from his parents and was a respected steward of his land through its several expansions. He was also a successful Charolais rancher. Examples of his community involvement include serving on the local R.M. board, chairing the Curling Club, actively participating in various work bees, volunteering at the museum, and helping found the local Elks’ Club. He remained an active citizen of St. Walburg until his dying days. One sign of his exceptional intellect and mechanical ability: he quickly solved the many mechanical puzzles that friends challenged him with. A man of great physical strength and athleticism, he was as much defined by his strength of character. Dignified, thoughtful and passionate, with impeccable integrity, he was a “prince of a man”. A celebration of his life will take place at the Elks’ Hall in St. Walburg on October 17 commencing at 2 p.m. ____________________________________________________

Aries is a total gem. She is a little shy at first but once she gets to know you she warms up right away and becomes the biggest snuggle bug you have ever known. She gets along well with other cats and probably wouldn’t mind a dog coming into her life either. If you think Aries is the purrfect match for you then come on down to the shelter today and meet her. Beretta is an excited outgoing little girl, who enjoys chewing on her toys, belly rubs, and cuddles. She was rescued and brought to us due to not enough space. Beretta is looking for her new forever home. If you think she is the furr companion for you come down and see her for yourself.

Extreme speeders caught by Community Safety Officers Submitted

City of North Battleford

Community Safety Officers are distinct and separate from regular RCMP members, and they are considered to be a municipal element to assist the local RCMP detachment. they should not be confused with RCMP Officers, who have a broader range of enforcement, authority and responsibilities. Recently Community Safety Officers stopped two speeders driving at 159 km/h and 133 km/h in a 50

km/h zone. This extreme speeding resulted in the drivers being charged and their vehicles impounded. Drivers are reminded speed limits are 50 km/h within city limits, unless posted as otherwise. Community Safety Officers are hard at work making North Battleford a safer place for everyone, removing unlicenced and unregistered drivers from our streets, enforcing bylaws, patrolling school zones, protecting our community’s streets and making traffic safer.

Mind your moose

Animals are on the move this time of year Submitted

Sask. Wildlife Federation

—Photo by Louise Lundberg

Increasing numbers of vehicular collisions with moose and deer has provided more than enough incentive for the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation to carry

on its public safety campaign warning drivers of the dangers of hitting a moose or deer with their vehicle. This fall will herald the SWF’s 19th annual Moose on the Loose public awareness campaign. With financial assistance from SGI and

the Ministry of Environment, the campaign’s objectives continue to address driver awareness of moose and deer crossing the highways at certain times of the day and year. Because of the overlapping breeding seasons,

Five Generations Pictured are five generations of the family of the late Uhan Ewanchuk and wife Ann Spak. Uhan and Ann operated the Whitkow Hotel for 33 years. Seated are Ann Ewanchuk, great-great-baba, and her son Roman (Liz) Ewanchuck, great-grandpa. Standing are Roman’s daughter Darcia (Todd) Russell, her son Paul Russell holding his daughter, threeyear-old Ava Russell. Paul, Taylor and Ava live in Brandon, Man. Photo submitted

called the rut, moose and deer become much more mobile during the fall months of the year. Males of both species may travel great distances in search of females. The message to drivers is: • Be prepared and slow down in areas known to hold populations of moose and deer, especially at dusk and at night. • Watch for the headlight reflective eye shine of deer at night while driving. • Assume that if one animal is crossing the road, there likely will be more animals following.

The Louisiana Hayride will be at the Dekker Centre Friday, Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Dekker Centre box office at 306-445-7700 or online at www.dekkercentre.com. Photo submitted

Hayride show recreates music of old favourites Submitted Do you remember Hank Williams, Roy Orbison or Patsy Cline? Did you ever see them in concert? Well, now you can. A unique theatre style production, known as the Louisiana Hayride, based on the historical radio show where these artists performed, is coming to North Battleford. It will be a magical evening of entertainment where the audience will believe they really are at a concert featuring these superstars, enjoying their music from years gone by. The singers and musicians of the Louisiana Hayride Show recreate these

iconic artists in costume and character. Hank Williams will sing Hey, Good Lookin and Lovesick Blues. Roy Orbison will show up with Crying and Pretty Woman and Patsy Cline will send shivers up spines when she sings Crazy and Sweet Dreams. Joining Hank, Roy and Patsy will be Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Willie Nelson. It’s all at the Dekker Centre on Oct. 30. Show creators, Lori and Gil Risling, have been touring this production across western Canada for five years. After more than 170 shows, the Louisiana Hayride continues to sell out, with people attending mul-

tiple times. “The show is a musical history lesson from a bygone era. This music left an indelible mark on a culture that is now longing for this music and the memories it brings back and it’s no longer out there for them,” says Gil. “This show fills that need. It resonates with the generation that experienced the rise of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Roy Orbison, to name a few.” Interspersed throughout the show will be trivia about the artists the group portrays. That, Lori says, “has long been an audience favourite. They love hearing the history. A lot of it is

V’ball teams see action By MCS Staff The schoolyard is covered with leaves, trees are bare and volleyball season is half completed. These are all signs that it is the middle of October. Soon students will be receiving their interim reports and first set of report cards. The junior girls’ volleyball team travelled to Hafford last Tuesday to play exhibition games. They hosted John Paul II this Thursday and will participate in a tournament at the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Oct. 16 and 17th. The junior noys’ team hosted Hafford last Tuesday for a series of exhibition games. The senior girls’ team will be in action this weekend at Maymont. They are hosting a tournament and everyone is welcome to come and watch the girls play. Last Tuesday, the girls’ soccer team travelled to Saskatoon to play against Outlook. They were missing some of their forwards and narrowly lost to Outlook 1-0. The girls played well. Three students partici-

The Grade 12 class is selling fruit, juices and cookie dough to raise money for their graduation. If you are interested please contact Jean Brehon at the school. The SLC organized a pep rally Oct. 9. The volleyball, soccer, golf and cross-country teams were introduced. Many students

and staff wore school colors and school clothing to show their school pride. There were even a few Toronto Blue Jays shirts. Following the pep rally, the senior girls’ volleyball team played against the staff. The staff team consisted of Krista and Ryan Nickell, Kandice Walker, Cathy Gillatt, Sean Lockwood and intern Bret Goller. Jean Brehon was the official scorekeeper, Sean Brehon was the official and Cody Greenslade gave the color commentary. Each team won a set, but the bell rang before they were able to play the third and deciding set of the match. Students watched the sets and, of course, cheered for the staff. This Tuesday was Character Day at school. Students and staff were invited to dress up as their favorite book, movie or cartoon character. Thursday was Throwback Thursday.

Village landscape is constantly changing By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

The changing scenery in the village continues. A Park model unit was brought into town recently and is being set up for a residence just west of the post office. It looks just fine there and it will be nice when it gets occupied. The Wind River Condo development continues with more ground work being done and dirt being moved around. The Meota Lions Chorus practices on Wednesday afternoons and are seeking more participants, people who enjoy singing and having fun at the same time. Contact Lawrie Ward. Yoga is being held in Meota in the Do Drop In at 10 a.m. and at the Community Complex from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursdays. The next wellness clinic is Oct. 15 at the Do Drop In from 8:40 to 10:40 a.m. The flu clinic is being held Oct. 21, from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Do Drop In. The box elder bugs have been rather disgusting to cope with recently as they gather on the warm sides of buildings and hope to get in when the door opens. They

eota News fly around some but do not bite or anything. Soapy water splashed on the doorway and woodwork around it help and is supposed to even kill them. The treatment deters them from laying their eggs in that area. Duplicate bridge was played Oct. 6 in the Do Drop In. The high scoring pair was Ray and Marnie Davie, second high were Margaret Dyck and David Creegan and third were Terrance and Jetta Dasilva. Canasta was played at the Do Drop In Oct. 9, with three tables in play. Top scores were by Paulette Neale and Bev McCrimmon, second were Shirley Tebay and Gwen Lacerte and third were Cora Christiansen and Arlene Walker. The monthly meeting of the seniors was held Oct. 9, again with low attendance. The monthly bulletin had it slated for Oct. 16, which may have thrown some people off. The big poplar tree behind the building has been removed and the wood

left in small manageable pieces in piles. The Christmas potluck supper has been set for Dec. 13 at 5 p.m. The club will supply the turkey. Gifts will be in the form of a non-perishable food product for the food bank. The Lions’ fall supper will be held in the Community Complex Oct. 18, from 5-7 p.m., so the hall committee’s noon luncheon date Friday, Oct.16 has been cancelled. Becky Doig, editor of the Battlefords News-Optimist/ Regional Optimist, hosted a nice noon luncheon at Pennydale Junction in Battleford Oct. 8 for as many of the paper’s correspondents as could make it. Before the meal she spoke briefly to the group and presented roses to four of us and snack packages from Nutters to others. She explained how the work the reporters do is her inspiration for her to do her work. We appreciated her kind words and her generous meal. A 90th birthday party was held in the Community Complex honoring Lorna Pearson Oct. 10, with more than 100 people attending. Many dainties were set out for folks to enjoy with their drink and birthday cake

St. John Ambulance SAVING LIVES at work, home and play was handed out to everyone. Of the 34 immediate family members, only one grandchild and one great-grandchild were missing. Many pictures were taken of family groups. While the general public was welcomed Saturday, the family held their Thanksgiving dinner Sunday with only a few extras who had travelled far to attend. These included Lorna’s nephew Bill and Louise Sullivan from Houston, B.C., Laura Cave and her sister Valerie Sviestrup came from Calgary and Ken Parker from Olds, Alta. Laura and Ken were former Grade 1 students of Lorna’s back in 1944 at Log Cabin School north of Bapaume,

September eclipse of the moon viewed by many By Dorothy Mills Correspondent

The air was cool but the skies were clear to view the total eclipse of the September moon, which has some different names. It is the harvest moon, the autumn moon, the leaves-get-yellow moon, plus this year it’s the super moon – a very bright full moon with a blood-red glow and close to Earth. Many interested people were watching it all happen. There will not be another for a few years. Due to the odd weather and rain showers, the harvest has been set back a few times. When the farmers can go, they are making good progress and are a little ahead of last year. Most

aljennie crops have been swathed. A lot of crops are on the green side and are waiting for more good weather. The fall season is here, so that makes our days and nights equal, with much shorter days to come. We need sunshine and some warmth to help finish off the harvest. There has been some light frost in the area. Whether frost or not, the trees do a lot of changing on their own. The rich colours of yellow and orange showing up all over the countryside are

Picturesque

beautiful. Some windy days have cleared off a few trees and the leaves are falling fast. In North Battleford, there has been an outbreak of those maple bugs and they seem to be all over the place and even in the buildings. They are such a nuisance. Clean up has taken place at the Baljennie St. Bridgett’s cemetery grounds. A big thank you to all those helpful workers. A good job done before winter sets in. The Canada geese, ducks and sandhill cranes are all flocking up in time to leave for a warmer place to winter. The crows are in large flocks as well. A lot of the smaller birds have already left. Some go early as they have a long trip ahead of them.

Changeable weather moves feast to cabin By Elaine Woloshyn Correspondent

A big thank you to Becky Doig at the Regional Optimist for hosting a luncheon at Pennydale Junction Oct. 8 for all of the small town news correspondents. I sure did appreciate this and I’m sure all of us who attended did likewise. It was great to put the faces to the names of the news correspondents for areas reporting to this newspaper. I am amazed at the ages of some of them, for example 90-year-old Lorna Pearson from Meota and formerly Chitek Lake. The beautiful balmy weather could have at least lasted throughout the complete long weekend, but Mother Nature had another plan. She thought that we all needed an abundance of rain Sunday, and so it poured and poured with unbelievably windy conditions. Power was off in many locations due to this nasty weather. Thanksgiving supper for us was held at my cabin at Chitek Lake this year. In reality, I was here for a couple of days, brought

ayfair News the turkey and other food and was cooking it to take to the hungry guys back at home harvesting. By 1 p.m. I knew there was not going to be Thanksgiving meal in this rainy weather, so I told my family to drive to the lake instead. I will stay at the cabin to finish painting and hanging curtain rods and curtains for 10 windows. Unwillingly, a few of them came and they were not disappointed. I usually pack up a lot of the leftovers to give to the kids, like most mothers do. Still have some for a casserole and homemade turkey vegetable soup. The CWL rescheduled the fall supper to Nov. 8 instead of Nov. 7, so please change your calendars for this important date. Let’s hope that the snow stays away until after Nov. 8. The small community of Mayfair is in shock to hear of the passing of Saskatoon

novelist and teacher, Wesley Funk, age 46. He died in his sleep Oct. 10. A short while ago, Wes had back surgery and it’s unknown if this had any complications leading to his death. Some of his well-known novels included Cherry Blossoms, Dead Rock Stars and Wes Side Story, which included his personal story of his hardships due to being gay. Wes was a former host of the Shaw TV program Lit Happens. He attended Mayfair Central School most of his growing up years while his mother Elsie was a teacher. His parents Jim and Elsie Funk reside in Hafford. A reminder from librarian Teresa Toews that cow patty bingo is doing something a little different for Oct. 23. Rather than the traditional potluck supper, the library will be hosting perogy, sausage and lazy-man cabbage roll meals starting at 6 p.m. The 50/50 draw still has $10 tickets available for purchase as this will be drawn for after supper and then a social evening will follow. If anyone has an exciting board game to play, please bring it. This

sounds like an evening that will not disappoint all those who plan to attend. The library needs your support, so please come out for the action. Have you ever thought about a one-person holiday totally in the northern wilderness with many bears living in the area? Former resident, 27-year-old Ryan Giesbrecht had a very exciting adventure in Alaska this past summer. He arranged to get dropped off by helicopter carrying a tent, gun, axe, matches and very few other items on him, not to mention the camera that

was one of the reasons for this journey. Ryan captured photos and videos of nature in its pristine beauty. He got close up to bears and other wildlife that put his life in danger. Obviously he survived this ordeal and will never forget this trip. Apparently this adventurous young man took only a little store bought food and gathered most of the rest in the forest. I am sure that his many close-up photos will be sold to well-known outdoor adventure magazines for a good price. Ryan is the son of recently deceased Irvine Giesbrecht,

who previously farmed in the Mullingar district. His mother Debbie resides in Saskatoon. I hear Rabbit Lake is having a function coming up in early November, so watch for posters informing us of the date. Norma Sherman said a newly formed group wants to do fundraising for a small RV camping court in Rabbit Lake, so they will be hosting this. Gospel and country western entertainer Larry Krause from Prince Albert will be headlining the evening program. Come out and support this worthy cause.

Business moves to city By Helena Pike Correspondent

I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday. I know many people in the village had family gatherings. We have lots to be thankful for. Former Waseca residents Carl and Del Nelson, now of Kelowna, B.C., spent some time recently visiting with relatives and friends in the Waseca area. Good luck to Crystal Sutherland of Northern Touch Massage Therapy, who has moved her practice

aseca News to Lloydminster, where she will begin work Tuesday. Crystal will be doing massage work in her home in Waseca one day each week to accommodate her home customers. Can you imagine 245 combines working in one field? That’s what happened in a field in Saskatchewan

because of “Combine for Kids.” If each combine took one swath the field would be finished in no time. Anyway the report did not say where this happened but it set a record. Carol and Kenneth Sutherland spent the long weekend visiting family in Calgary, Alta. Flag football is on the go for many of Waseca’s Grade 5 and 6 students who attend school in Maidstone. The games where they play neighbouring schools are played after school.

Heavy rain another obstacle to harvesters By Helena Pike Correspondent

Just when harvest was progressing so well, we experienced a heavy rain. With shorter days, drying will be slow even though the forecast tells us that fine weather will prevail for the rest of the week. We hope that it lasts while. Antonyna Ottison and daughter Anastatia returned recently from a month spent visiting relatives and friends in Ukraine. Wayne Ottison travelled to Ukraine as well, spending the last week with Antonyna and Anastatia. Their trip was uneventful and they thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Ken and Sheila Hawkins of Victoria, B.C., are once again enjoying the harvest season with Keith and Debbie Pike. Ken and Debbie are cousins. When visiting during this season, Ken and Sheila get involved in all the farm activities. A belated happy 91st birthday to Florence Pike

orest Bank who celebrated her special day Oct. 11 with visits from many members of her family, who enjoyed birthday cake with her. We wish her all the best in the year to come. Harvest service will be held in St. Paul’s Church, Forest Bank, Oct. 18 at 2:30

p.m. All are welcome to attend this Thanksgiving service. A big thank you to Becky Doig of Battlefords Publishing who hosted a very enjoyable noon luncheon for the correspondents of the Regional Optimist Oct. 8. Besides a delicious meal, there is an opportunity to visit with other correspondents. Helena Pike and Vic Hult were pleased to attend. Gully Gus says, “You are never fully dressed until you wear a smile.”

Correspondent

MAIDSTONE — I apologize for missing the following news item in last week’s paper. Denise Newton was to a memorial service at St. Paul’s Hospital Sept. 26, for relatives and friends of those who had passed away in July and August. Denise lost her sister in August. Afterward she had lunch and a visit

with friends from Saskatoon. I’m happy to have my daughter Hazel MacEachern of Saskatoon home for a visit. Rita (Taylor) Morrison enjoyed a turkey supper at Rose James’. Her son Murray took her there. Raylene Hope is having a mother-daughter day with her mom Bev Stewart. She will be helping her mom do some housework.

A number of the apartment ladies enjoyed coffee and a singsong at the suites. Marilyn Owens does the playing and the rest sing and play instruments. It’s always enjoyed by everyone. Even the men smile, so we must be good. A few snowflakes and a lot of rain have held harvest up again. Hopefully the weather stays as it is today, sunny and bright.

Random acts of kindness during Co-op Week By Sherri Solomko Correspondent

Thanksgiving feasts are over and now we are seeing more Halloween decorations. And there is still some hope in Riderville, for next year maybe! Who isn’t loving those Blue Jays playing baseball in October? Beats the heck out of TV election campaign coverage and it is exciting to see this team succeed after their long drought. As we are happily readying for arena season in Unity, our thoughts go out to our close neighbours, Wilkie, on the devastating fire at their arena. Although damage reports are not confirmed, this definitely is a tremendous blow to hockey, curling and hall events in Wilkie. The co-operative partner-

ship of Delta Co-op and Unity Credit Union once again showed their commitment to help “build better communities” by using the opportunity of Co-operative Week celebrations to give something back to the community they serve. Staff set out to perform random acts of kindness throughout the day, covering nearly all demographics in the community. They kicked off the day at UCHS, then headed to the museum with a work party. Some of the group headed to St. Peter’s later that morning to provide supervision. Meals on wheels deliveries were also made. Fruit trays were delivered to the police station, fire hall, doctors’ office and some other places that the group felt could use

nity News a thank you. The group also headed to the public school in the afternoon for supervisory duties. Unity Public School staff and students enjoyed a short week this week thanks to the Thanksgiving long weekend. Education Week is recognized Oct. 18 to 24, and UPS starts it all off with Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Students will enjoy a grilled cheese hot lunch Oct. 20. The kids have chosen dress as your favourite sport or activity as their spirit day Oct. 21, in conjunction with the SCC sponsored Family

Keep those Campbell’s labels coming as these are valuable when redeemed as points for products in the school. Did you know in the past Campbell’s points bought a camera for the school? There are a number of valuable items that can be chosen from points redeemed through Campbell’s labels, but it does take work to get them sorted and tallied so please call the school if you can lend a hand with this task. St. Peter’s School is proud of their gratitude wall that has expanded beyond what they were expecting. Staff, students and parents all have had a chance to add in their reasons for thankfulness on this venue. One of the things to be thankful for at St. Peter’s is the gift of music shared by Mrs. Keller who has the beautiful music of both the choir and the band echoing in the St. Peter’s hallways. To celebrate Education Week , St. Peter’s students will take part in activities with a number of spirit days throughout the week, as well as Family Reading Night and a Celebrate Seniors program followed by tea and dainties wherein grandparents and seniors in the community are invited to St. Peter’s School. Education Week activities wrap up with Pyjama Day and kicks off with the SCC serving up a pancake breakfast. Unity Composite High School Warrior football has one game left in regular season to see where they sit in the playoff race. Cross-country certainly saw success at the district cross-country event Oct. 8 and will be sending UCHS students to provincial competition.

teams in both senior and junior divisions, this keeps the gyms full. UCHS was welcomed back after their long weekend by Delta Co-op and Unity Credit Union staff as these businesses kicked off a full day of RAKs by stopping at the high school, handing out positive messages and treats encouraging students to “pay it forward.” Another season of Unity Minor Football is over. Team Red defeated Biggar in the consolation side of semifinals and played Kindersley in the final on Thanksgiving Monday. Team Black Titans pulled off a big win against Plenty in the semifinals and went on to square off against the team they were tied with first place for, Macklin. Neither result was available at press time. It’s not just Blue Jays gear we see around town as the Habs look is showing up in more places in anticipation of the upcoming Montreal Canadiens alumni game coming to Unity Nov. 27. The post office has some great Canadiens merchandise in stock with the Delta Co-op C-Store currently holding a draw for a Habs jersey. Tickets are on sale for the Montreal Canadiens alumni event as well as for the progressive 50/50 jackpot. Don’t miss out your chance to get your name in on the silent auction items, some of which include an autographed Holtby jersey, an autographed Johnny Gaudrea jersey, a ticket package for the Hitmen and Flames in the Flames alumni corporate box and much more. Contact Carey Baker at 306-228-2621 for details on how you can bid on your place on the roster, or for some of the other opportunities available. Speaking of hockey, the 3-on-3 pre-season event is over and the hockey season is now in full swing. This year’s season includes once again multiple teams in all divisions of minor hockey; including a midget AA team. The Unity Miners senior team is underway as well. Rec hockey teams are also back on the ice. And arena season doesn’t just include hockey as the Unity Skating club is also back in session. Your best bet for knowing what the arena schedule is to check their Facebook page or the schedule posted in the arena or log

onto the Town of Unity website. The Unity Curling Club is hosting a Learn to Curl Night and you still have until Oct. 19 to register for only $10 with equipment provided.

Tickets are available by contacting the town office at 306-228-2621 and include not only the feast but also a DJ for some dancing later on. Coffee row folks –Riders, Blue Jays, harvest, fall events in the community – so much to talk about each day. Good thing these folks all enjoy a good cup of coffee and a good conversation to be part of. There is no lack of upcoming activities to review or anticipate as you can see by the lists in this column. So you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time …

At the heart of it, we are not what we wear Ed, my old neighbour from Saskatchewan, told me he has his yard decorated for Halloween. He will be going out for Halloween even when he is 95, by a scooter if need be. This year two grandchildren will be visiting Ed for the big night and Ed will be able to dress up and go from house to house with them. My old neighbor was disgusted to hear we don’t celebrate Halloween in our condo building. The front doors of our building are locked and trick or treaters cannot get into our building. Ed told me I should wait in the lobby in case any kids

come and I should give them treats. I told Ed while he was worried there won’t be any Halloween celebration at our condo building, I have other concerns. I have had a serious problem of having too much waist for my suit. My suit has refused to fit me for two years and I have had to shop for a new one. Yesterday when I entered a suit store the staff of young slim sales clerks smiled in sympathy at me and then ignored me. They seemed to be certain I would never find anything my size, but I did find something that fit. The youngsters at the till beamed in total amaze-

eighbourly Advice According to Ed

By Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com

revraymaher@accesscomm.ca ment and said, “You did find something to fit, good for you.” My wife said it was a bit of a miracle after looking at so many other stores and the sales clerks were not insensitive towards me. On Halloween night costumes become the

focus of attention. Children who dress up can briefly pretend to become something they are not in real life. To receive treats of various sorts while being a zombie or a princess adds to the fun. Sometimes it isn’t all that great to be who we are without anything new or special

about us on the outside. How much better will my new suit make me look? It might slightly help my appearance, but my new suit won’t take an ounce or an inch off my pear shaped waist. A new suit does not make me kinder or more positive to be around. In fact, if I know you well, I might complain to you about the price of my new suit even though my old suit was 20 years old. I did think of it as my funeral suit. Ed has insisted that he wants to wear his coveralls and a comfortable t-shirt in his casket. His wife Ruby says he will be wearing a brandnew, expense suit. She is not having the neighbours

saying they couldn’t even afford a decent suit. It is a discussion I have heard between them often. Why do we live as if what we wear is so important to us? The book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible describes that much of our lives are spent chasing the wind. We get carried away with what will never satisfy us. It states, “Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb and as he comes, so he departs. He takes nothing from his labour that he can carry in his hand.” Faith, hope, and love come from the heart, not from what we wear, whether it’s a costume or a suit.
