NB man faces serious charges Staff

A North Battleford man is facing several serious charges after a Blaine Lake RCMP officer was injured along Highway 40 about 16 kilometres west of Richard at 8:40 a.m. Monday. William Rhode, 37, of North Battleford, has been charged in connection with an incident that began near Richard and continued on grid roads in the Speers area and eventually culminated in Rhodes’ arrest in Cochin. According to police,

the officer had the vehicle stopped along the road. At one point the adult male driver fled in the vehicle. The RCMP member was next to the vehicle attempting to prevent the driver from fleeing. As the vehicle sped away, the member fell and was run over, according to police. The member suffered serious, but non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Battlefords Union Hospital. He has since been released. The RCMP launched a search for a white 2018 Ford F350, which they say fled the scene westbound on Highway 40 towards North Battleford. At approximately 10:25 a.m., Battlefords RCMP say they located the suspect vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed on a grid road north of Speers. Police say, RCMP patrol vehicles set up at strategic locations in preparation to use tire deflation devices and disable the vehicle if required. The monitored pursuit of the suspect vehicle was limited to grid roads in the area northwest of Speers and then west of Whitkow. RCMP members say they continued the pursuit on the grid roads where there was little to no traffic and the risk to public safety was deemed low. Continued on Page 19

Gold Eagle Casino hits the jackpot at the 25th BBEX By John Cairns Staff Reporter

The 25th edition of the Battlefords Business Excellence Awards in North Battleford was special for one business. Gold Eagle Casino, selected from all the nominated finalists in all the competitive categories, was named BBEX Business of the Year. “We’re very proud to be receiving Business of the Year,” said General Manager Kelly Atcheynum. “We weren’t expecting

this but we’re very honoured to receive this. We’re very proud of our community and contributing back as much as we can. We like to celebrate success in our community, as you’ve seen in the past. We’re a 100 per cent nonprofit corporation and we give 100 per cent of our profits back to the community, and we’re very proud of that.” It was their second BBEX award of the night, as they also took the Marketing Award with Marketing Co-ordinator Leanne Pawlyshyn accepting. The

casino bested Beaver Grill Express Asian Restaurant, Capitol Theatre and Re/Max of the Battlefords in that category. To make it almost a perfect night, Gold Eagle Casino representatives were presented both their BBEX awards at their own building. The event was held at their Events Centre, a change of venue from recent years when the event was held at the Dekker Centre. The reason for the change was to handle the amount of people who were there to celebrate the

Letter

Shiloh Church restoration dates back to 1971 Dear Editor The Government of Saskatchewan has seen fit to make Shiloh Church a Heritage Property, which is good news. However, I would like to add some facts to the history. Restoration on Shiloh Church actually began, not in 2004, but in 1971. The Government of Saskatchewan decided to have an event called Homecoming 71. I have never known why. I had no intention at the time to get involved, but when I heard there would be grants, possibly for local historic sites, I attended the public meeting. I walked in the door a free woman and came out as the secretary-treasurer for the RM of Eldon Homecoming 71 committee. The committee accepted suggestions over a certain time, then invited local people to vote. It was decided money would go towards the Waseca Curling Rink and to memorial stones with plaques, on suitable sites, for the painter Augustus Kenderdine, for the long-serving president [Jack Wesson] of the once-mighty Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and for the restoration of Shiloh Church and

Cemetery. I wrote a lot of letters, did a lot of legwork and spent a lot of time, but when it came to Shiloh it was the men and women north of Maidstone who did the work. All the gravesites were found and white wooden crosses put on them. The men used wire and grader blades to strengthen the church. It had not been vandalized, as far as I know. The logs were re-chinked and the whole place tidied. I can’t state whether the roof was re-shingled. I would have to go to my records for that. I intend to donate those records to the Maidstone Museum. We had the grand opening day and we invited a host of people. We started at Shiloh, then moved on to the Wesson Memorial on the homestead then to the Kenderdine memorial on The Peak. Community members had all picked certain people who were VIPs for the day to include in our picnic on The Peak. My mother and I and my sister Joyce Lamont, who was also on the committee, were pleased to have several of the Mayes family share our picnic, plus Conservation Officer Ken Smith and Mr. and Mrs. John Spinks. He was, at the time, the head of the University of Saskatchewan and he dedicated the Kenderdine memorial, since Gus Kenderdine had taught on the campus. It was a good day, a worthwhile day and Shiloh Church really benefited. Our group had put up signs for the sites, for travellers (many of them were stolen and the Department of Highways buried one of those huge and expensive signs). People north of Maidstone kept the grass mowed at Shiloh and took turns welcoming visitors. They kept up a visitors’ log and kept the church clean. Many of the

people who did that are no longer with us. However, once the church was re-discovered, a certain type of journalist came out of the woodwork. Instead of investigating local people, they made up the most appalling stories! The worst of all was the racism was so bad, two schools had to be built. Of course! After all, Saskatchewan people (white) are the worst racists! Two schools? Where would the money have come from to build and operate two schools and pay two teachers? Did all the white and the black people hit it off? Possibly not. Did all the white people get along all the time? Probably not. Did all the black people get along all the time? Probably not. However, the descendants of the original people in the area have taken a great interest in the site and now they come all the time to care for it and have reunions, which include the white people of the area. Many people here can tell anecdotes about their black friends (and their Cree friends), but outsiders will always view us differently, I suppose. So, again I say that many people will be pleased to see Shiloh as a heritage site. However, the late Pam Leachman and I didn’t do so well in that department when, years ago, we were the mover and seconder for the motion, at an annual RM meeting, that the cement bridge, built by a Barr Colonist on a now abandoned public road north of Waseca over Big Jelly Creek, be made a historic site. The motion was passed, easily, but nothing was done. We knew it wouldn’t. It has to be the right people, one has to have a band wagon. Christine Pike Waseca

It was a typical summer night, sitting around the campfire at the lake — friends and family, lots of laughter, toasting marshmallows, partaking in a few beverages. “Why is it that I can find out on Facebook who is changing the colour of their hair, what they are serving for supper or if the laundry has been done that day? But, I cannot find out why the RCMP gathered north of town looking for a missing body.” This, folks is the plain and simple truth about why journalism matters. Because the facts and the truth are ferreted out by credible journalists whose writings fill the pages of community newspapers and national dailies. No one reads newspapers anymore, you say. Wrong! Nine in 10 Canadians read content that was originally generated from a newspaper each week. Canadians turn to newspaper information on a number of issues. It could be the details of a government program, or updates on NAFTA talks, or what the stock market is doing. In the case of a community newspaper, readers seek out information on town council happenings, or school events, or delight in seeing a picture of their children on the front page. Journalists not only gather the news, they also confirm the sources and double check the facts. In a world where information is instantaneous, it is surprising that 63 per cent of Canadians are unable to distinguish between legitimate news websites and fake news stories. Another important reason why newspaper journalism matters, now more than ever. Continued on Page 5

There are solutions to the fiscal woes, if we can just move on them From the top

As I write this, Canada is having a good day, economically. That is, if you consider we just dodged, by the skin of our teeth, getting trampled by Donald Trump on NAFTA 2.0, the United States Mexico Canada Agreement. Also, within days, if not hours, the final go-ahead is expected to be announced for the first truly major liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant to be built at Kitimat. It’s expected to come in at $40 billion, which includes its associated (gasp!) pipeline. That is stupendous news, unless a meteor strikes between now and the time this goes to press. So after a summer

of getting kicked in the teeth, particularly on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and American aluminum and steel tariffs, maybe we have something to be thankful for. After all, that $40 billion is going to be a huge uplift to British Columbia. Maybe it will lead to more investments, and a whole new form of natural gas industry for Canada. But lurking in the background is the spectre of subnational debt – i.e. provinces going increasingly into debt after years of deficit spending. New Brunswick is going down the tubes in a hurry. Newfoundland has been bankrupting itself with the

Newspapers matter Continued from Page 4 There is a cost to newspaper journalism. These news gatherers like to be paid, as does everyone who works for a living. The owners of the news outlets, whether a national corporate or the independent owner, have bills to pay. One of the largest forms of revenue is advertising sales. Unfortunately, the mistaken belief that everyone can be reached through social media has caused advertisers to abandon newspapers. Many studies find that ads in newspapers are the most trusted of all. Newspapers do not share your data, either. Arthur Sulzberger Jr. said, “Newspapers cannot be defined by the second word — paper. They’ve got to be defined by the first word — news.” News is important, at the national level and at the local level. Journalism matters because democracy matters. It is what defines us as people who are fortunate to live in a free country. Newspapers matter because their credible journalists provide the facts and the truth that we deserve. National Newspaper Week is celebrated the first week of October with this year’s theme: Newspapers Matter: Now More Than Ever. At this time Canadians are being asked to show their support for the industry. Send a message to governments, to Canadian business, to journalists that newspapers matter.

Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project. Don’t get me started on Ontario. One of the few provinces to see recent surpluses has been Quebec, but that’s only because they get $11 billion per year in equalization payments. What is galling about all this is that many of these jurisdictions have the ability to help themselves a bit, if they just got their heads out of, well, you know. New Brunswick, for instance, has natural gas. But in recent years, they have banned fracking. So instead of allowing a new natural gas industry to develop there, and do this thing called pay royalties and taxes, and create jobs, they’d rather go down the whirlpool of bankruptcy. Quebec, too, has said no to fracking for natural gas, despite having its own resources. I’ve spoken to the guy leading the company who wants to develop it. They’ve been patient, but it seems they are getting nowhere. Yet in the meantime, Alberta, which does allow fracking,

is paying to subsidize Quebec each and every day, while its own fiscal ability has suffered. Alberta is in a righteous fury over British Columbia and Quebec’s intransigence on pipelines. Northern Gateway was first. Then Energy East. Now it’s Trans Mountain. In the meantime, the price differential on Western Canadian Select compared to West Texas Intermediate is, as of Oct. 1, is -US$35.75 per barrel, giving an implied price of US$37.50. In other words, most of Alberta’s oil (and a good chunk of Saskatchewan’s) is going for just over half of WTI. I wish they sold vehicles that way. I could stand a new SUV at half off. Yet this is how we are selling our oil, every day. When talking to Premier Scott Moe about this a month ago, I pointed out that the amount Saskatchewan is losing due to this differential, in taxes and royalties alone, would essentially wipe out our provincial deficit. He noted I was very astute,

and correct. At the time, the number was $200 million per year. Since then, Moe has revised the lost revenue to $300 million per year. If the provinces don’t get their fiscal houses in order, they run the risk of going through something similar to Saskatchewan’s near-death experience with bankruptcy in the early 1990s. Those effects are still felt, today. It impacted my wife. The year she graduated nursing, they laid off 600 nurses. It was a year before she found work, in North Battleford. Shutting down the Plains Hospital 20 years ago has a big impact on hospital bed shortages today. Other provinces will soon feel this pain. Much of Canada could fix its financial woes if they stopped fighting

everything and actually let people move this country ahead. That means allowing fracking in New Brunswick and Quebec. It means building Energy East, Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain, allowing that differential to shrink. It means letting one $40 billion LNG investment become many. It means stopping scaring away investment in the oilsands. It means allowing all these pipelines to be filled, at prices that aren’t discounted because we’re selling our oil to India and China. Many of the solutions are there. We just have to be willing to move on them. — Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian. zinchuk@sasktel.net.

Living Sky meets with MLAs: mental health supports, funding model discussion points By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

Last Wednesday, Living Sky School Division voiced a number of their concerns to MLAs Larry Doke and Herb Cox. Much of what Living Sky does involves the Ministries of Health and Social Services, and staff discussed the division’s need for interministerial collaboration. Superintendent of Student Services Nancy Schultz said the agencies are isolated and collaborating together “at the grassroots level” is impeded by “stop gaps at the upper levels.” Accessing private

health records of students who need help, “is a difficult experience,” Schultz said, as such agencies “don’t want to share info.” Schultz said the school division is “very respectful of privacy of individuals,” although “we need to know what’s happening” in order to provide the same support. Schultz said communicating with the Saskatchewan Health Authority isn’t straightforward and often involves speaking with several people. About the interrelatedness of ministries, Living Sky Director of Education Brenda Vickers said “some of the cuts in health affect us.” Superintendent of Cur-

riculum and Instruction Ruth Weber spoke of an early childhood liaison who was a primary contact with the schools and agencies. After cuts, “it felt like a loss in the community due to the connections the worker made with young students.” Regarding communities, Doke asked if some areas were worse than others. Schultz said some communities with only a grocery store, hotel and school have no mental health supports at all. Suicide prevention strategy and supports was also a topic. Vickers spoke of young people feeling suicidal being turned away

at hospitals. In April, the News-Optimist wrote about a doctor prepared to send home a young man shortly after a suicide attempt. The young man’s family was frustrated. Living Sky staff carried out much of the crisis response after recent suicides of Living Sky students, Vickers said. Preventative measures for youth suicide, Vickers said, are a “long-term fix” because “something very deep needs to shift.” Living Sky staff also discussed the education funding model. Vickers said ministry goals, including getting 90 per cent of kids ready to learn exiting kindergarten, can work against the funding model. The recently implemented funding formula, according to some board members, allocates more funding to places with more students, and less funding to places with less students, such as in rural areas. Doke asked how many students were entering kindergarten and who were assessed to not be ready for kindergarten. The answer was 52 per cent. A number of factors are considered when funding

school divisions. Vickers argued the nature of the students ought to be considered in funding distribution. Many students in Living Sky School Division are, as Vickers said, “high cost kids,” in the sense that they “need a teacher, EA and more students services time,” among other things. In places that receive more funding, Vickers said administrators can spend “$1,000,000 for pre-kindergarten programs.” According to Vickers, Living Sky “can’t find $50,000 to go up half a teacher at a school that’s gone up 30 kids.” Vickers argued “something’s not right with the weight of the factors.” Darroch said services should go to where the population is higher, “but in the city [people are] able to access services from other service providers.” In certain places, the school division is providing such services, Darroch said. Pethick said situations in rural Saskatchewan can be much different than the city experience. “It’s one thing to live in [cities], and it’s a whole other issue when you’re living in Leoville, Saskatchewan and you don’t

have those professionals,” Pethick said. Pethick added some parents “don’t have the financial ability to drive their kids.” Wouters argued in favour of the previous funding formula, and called the current one “simply unfair.” Doke and Cox asked a few questions during the presentation. Cox said the meeting “was quite intense” and said a lot of what was discussed Wednesday didn’t come up at a previous meeting in which representatives of the Ministry of Education visited the school division. “There’s always a need for money,” Doke said, “and I am concerned about the mental health side of things. That bothers me, but it’s everywhere. That’s not an excuse, that’s fact. So I’m hoping that we can do something there.” Doke acknowledged many with mental health issues must drive long distances for services. “In the same sense, you can’t have a cop in every corner and you can’t have a mental health worker in every corner,” Doke said. “But we have to do a better job, there’s no doubt about it.”

truck travelling northbound collided with another pickup truck heading westbound. The driver of the northbound truck was seriously injured and transported to hospital in Prince Albert. The passenger was declared deceased at the scene. The driver of the westbound truck sustained what are described as life

threatening injuries and has been transported to hospital in Saskatoon. This collision is under investigation with the assistance of an RCMP collision reconstructionist. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor. Blaine Lake RCMP, Shellbrook RCMP, Leask firefighters and local EMS responded.

About those eight prolific offenders downtown The W5 documentary that aired last Saturday on North Battleford crime, entitled “Crimetown,” was devastating in no shortage of ways. In particular, it put a face to the victims of crime in North Battleford. There were interviews with the proprietors of Wally’s Food Basket, which is forever being robbed, as well as an individual who was stabbed and whose vehicle was stolen outside Blend restaurant. The “WWE SmackDown” moment of the documentary came when RCMP Insp. John Sutherland said this to correspondent Avery Haines: “In our downtown area here, there are eight people responsible for the 38 per cent of the calls for service that we get.” Haines was flabbergasted. Why not arrest them, she asked. Sutherland’s response: “We’re not going to arrest our way out of this problem. Jail isn’t the answer. These people have social issues, they have mental health issues, and we need to support them.” Cut to the victims of crime, who Haines says cannot believe what they are hearing. “Get them off the street,” he said. The reaction of viewers across Canada: “OMG.” With that, the credibility of North Battleford’s community safety strategy went straight to the waste management facility. Here is the response from viewers on Facebook: “… They say that 8 people contribute to over a third of the crime stats but won’t touch them … and you say Lethbridge cops suck and do nothing,” said one person from Lethbridge, Alta. “8 known people responsible for 1/3 of this and police say they can’t do anything about it? really.” “It is time, as a society, to demand accountability,” said another. Now, in defence of Sutherland, I get what he was trying to say. In fact, I feel bad for him, because it looked like he was ambushed. He wasn’t advocating doing nothing. He was trying to make a point that arresting people isn’t going to work when the real problem is addictions and mental health issues, and the way to deal with those is totally different. He’s right, and to be fair, W5 did delve into that later on. That said, it’s going to take civic officials a long time to live down this W5 story. The common-sense solution to addressing the problems in North Battleford is staring

them in the face. “Get them off the street!” Instead, the people in charge are enthusiastic about everything else, such as “crime prevention through environmental design,” or formalizing neighborhoods, or putting murals on the side of buildings, or staging block parties and handing out hot dogs to those attending. Here’s what they should do. City officials ought to outline a vision that will directly address the weapons, gangs and drugs that are ravaging this community right now. This is what is missing in Community Safety Coordinator Herb Sutton’s monthly reports to city council. I want to hear him go to the council podium and say this: “Good evening, mayor and council. Tonight, I want to start with our priority initiatives to immediately get guns and knives, gangs and drugs and alcohol off our streets.” Get it off the streets. If that was North Battleford’s strategy, alongside the rest of what they are doing now, we may get somewhere. Back to these prolific offenders. It should come as no surprise that this small group has been an issue for years. We were reporting on them back in 2015. In those days, city officials were speaking not of eight offenders, but of six offenders who caused 21 per cent of the crime in the downtown core over a period of two and a half years. Here is what we reported when Sutton spoke to council about it in December 2015: “Sutton informed councillors there was a good meeting last Friday that included law enforcement and mental health and addictions officials. Among the items discussed were those individuals and it turned out many of those around the table were familiar with them. ‘‘‘Honestly, I don’t know their identities yet, but those

folks all seem to know who these individuals were,’ said Sutton. “He added, ‘these are very complex situations, there are no easy answers and I think it stands to reason if there were easy answers we’d be seeing successes already.’” Sutton spoke again about it in April of 2016: “The individuals were identified and ‘we’ve agreed that in spite of all the efforts of enforcement folks, it wasn’t effective in changing the pattern of their existence,’ said Sutton. “‘For that, agencies were then brought together to try to deal with their situation, but ‘we haven’t had any significant changes, to be honest with you,’ Sutton admitted. ‘These individuals are still causing issues in the downtown area.’” He spoke of that as an example of why systemic changes and different approaches needed to be considered. “My fear is that if we don’t think deeply about systemic changes, we will very quickly revert back to using enforcement, because we have no other choice,” said Sutton.” All right. If enforcement is not the answer, other solutions ought to be used, or put in place and funded if they are not there already. Addiction treatment, homeless shelters, programming, you name it. For mental health issues, we have a forensic psychiatric hospital right here; no other city in the province has that. Regardless of whether the response to these prolific offenders is to get them to a rehab or detox facility, or to a psychiatric hospital, or wherever else they need to go, you can’t simply allow them to go back to creating problems with their criminal activity. You still need to keep them off the street, at least until they stop their antisocial behavior. Here’s what is most troubling. It’s been two and a half years, yet here we are in 2018 still talking about a small group of offenders in the downtown. There’s been enough time to come up with a way forward, even systemic changes, to address the issues these few have created. If North Battleford’s safety strategy cannot deal with eight prolific offenders, how can anyone expect it to be effective in dealing with all the rest of the criminals who have made this community the No. 1 “Crimetown” of Canada? That’s the question people ought to be asking.

Three arrested after vehicle pursuit: 45 charges Staff One adult and two youths were arrested by members of the F Division Crime Reduction Teams (CRTs), North Battleford Municipal GIS and Battlefords RCMP Saturday after a vehicle pursuit that ended when the pursued vehicle struck a police vehicle and became inoperable.

According to an RCMP press release, around 8 p.m. a member of the CRTs observed a man, known to be wanted for serious firearms-related offences, enter a vehicle and leave a property in North Battleford. RCMP say a traffic stop was attempted, and the vehicle began to accelerate and flee. RCMP

Last week’s News-Optimist online poll: The Battlefords Chamber of Commerce is conducting a survey to determine if Chamber members are in favour of advocating to have the government liquor store moved from its downtown location. What do you think? • Yes. Having the store downtown contributes to problems in the city’s core.

27% • No. Moving the store won’t make any difference to addiction problems in the community. 36% • Yes. SLGA would benefit from a location more accessible to tourists travelling through to lake country. 8% • No. Relocating would just be more taxpayers’ money flushed down the drian.

Sky-Tech donates to New Beginnings Staff Sky-Tech Equipment in North Battleford is helping raise the Saskatchewan Hospital New Beginnings campaign to new heights. Sky-Tech and its owner/ operators, the Halewichfamily, donated $50,000 to the fundraising campaign to purchase the necessary medical equipment and furniture for the new Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford. The coffee shop and canteen in the new facility will be named the Sky-Tech Café in recognition of the donation. The Halewich families — Myron and June along with their children Bill and Brenda, Donna and Ivan, Theresa and Al and Dale and Angie — recognize that supporting mental health is increasingly important across Saskatchewan and in the community, as it affects

so many including colleagues, clients and loved ones, a press release states. “We are grateful to have been a part of the Saskatchewan Hospital project, one of the largest construction projects in the Battlefords’ history,” said Bill Halewich, partner. “Participation of our local business throughout construction of the new hospital allows us to return that support to the New Beginnings campaign,” The Halewich families and Sky-Tech Equipment have deep roots in the Battlefords. They have a history of giving back through donations to children’s sports teams and clubs, donations to local organizations to help make their events successful and contributions to efforts such as Saskatchewan Hospital New Beginnings to support mental health care for

citizens of Saskatchewan. “Our success over the years has been not only because of lots of hard work, but has also been strongly connected to the support of others. We believe that we have a responsibility to give back to our community, and in doing so it creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone successful,” said partner Dale Halewich. Sky-Tech Equipment accepted the challenge issued earlier this year to all other businesses and families to contribute to the New Beginnings campaign. “We are accepting this challenge and taking it one step further to challenge all other rental companies in the province, especially those that have been part of the Saskatchewan Hospital project,” Halewich stated. “We are thrilled to have

the Town approximately $90,000. Enns-Wind didn’t recommend totally discontinuing tax discounts, but “reduce its complexity and thus net cost.” His recommendation was January be the only month for the discount, and to reduce the discount to

the people who come to Saskatchewan Hospital for care,” she added. The New Beginnings campaign has now reached $7.5 million of its $8 million goal to purchase the necessary medical equip-

ment and furnishings for the new Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford. Bernier Delainey is confident the campaign will achieve its target thanks to province-wide and local financial contributions.

Battleford’s property tax discounts decrease By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

Battleford tax discounts came up again in council, and they’ll be lower in 2019. In 2018, the Town offered the following tax discounts: eight per cent in Janury, seven in February,

UPCOMING SHOW

5.4 per cent, “the average of the discounts currently offered over five months.” Enns-Wind’s report also proposed introducing a tax installment payment plan, called “TIPPs.” Based on the water installment payment plan, “the main benefits of TIPPs is to allow ratepayers to pay a pro-

jected payment per month via direct debit from the ratepayer’s bank account, which avoids the need for a large single payment in the spring of each year,” according to Enns-Wind’s report. Neither in-year penalties nor discounts apply to ratepayers on the TIPPs program.

Enns-Wind said some pay their taxes in small increments when the Town offers discounts. Calculating individual cases takes up the time of town employees, which Enns-Wind estimates to add “weeks of extra work each year.” Continued on Page 18

Big costs for bridges Cut Knife initially The south bridge is still safe to drive on, and the north bridge is still safe to walk on By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

Numbers regarding the north and south bridges to and from Finlayson Island have emerged, and Battleford town council has important, upcoming decisions about the expensive project. This summer, Associated Engineering completed a comprehensive inspection of the bridges and publicly presented findings to council Monday. According to an administrative report by John Enns-Wind, the bridges were constructed in 1905 and were “part of the original alignment of Highway 16, connecting Battleford and North Battleford.” “The Town took ownership of the bridges from Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure in 2003. Prior to taking ownership in 2003, the bridge was rehabilitated to provide an additional 15 years of service life.” Recent work by Associated Engineering included a visual inspection and more detailed inspection work involving a manlift. Associated Engineering also performed load testing to see if the current eight tonne limit “was still appropriate for the bridge.” The inspection showed the bridges are considered to be in poor condition. Associated Engineering structural engineer Stephen Chiasson said that’s nothing new “and has been in our reporting for years.” According to a structural condition rating, which includes evaluating only the structural compo-

nents of the bridge itself, the north and south bridges is at 27.8 per cent. Ratings shouldn’t be confused with school test scores. “A bridge that has a structural condition rating of 50 per cent is a bridge that really doesn’t have any significant issues with it,” Chiasson said. “It’s a bridge that just requires ongoing maintenance, not a bridge that has any significant items on it that need to be repaired right away.” Associated Engineering presented four options regarding the future of the bridges to council: status quo (keeping the north bridge closed to traffic but open to pedestrians, and keeping the south bridge pedestrian only); making both bridges pedestrian only; closing a bridge and removing it; and replacing a bridge with a pedestrianonly bridge. According to EnnsWind’s administrative report, “the most costeffective option is for the bridges to be repaired and maintained so they retain their current level of service and loading.” Total costs for keeping the current services of the bridges are estimated to be approximately $5 million. According to EnnsWind’s report, such money could be allocated to the project over 10 years. There has also been significant erosion on the south side of the North Saskatchewan river bank under the north bridge. The erosion is “getting to the point where it’s getting close to the bridge foundations,” Chiasson

said. “It’s not compromising them in any way yet, but if that erosion is allowed to continue that could get to the point where the end of the bridge could be compromised.” Corrosion was also previously a concern, but Chiasson said it was largely superficial and “it didn’t seem like there was any significant deterioration.” Chiasson said work toward preventing erosion should take place next year or the year after. Mayor Ames Leslie asked if work can start and stop depending on how the town funds the project, and Chaisson said it could. Tasks to prevent bank erosion, Chaisson said, include lining the embankment with a thick amount of rock. Enns-Wind recommended council commit to upgrading the bridges to a 50 per cent rating, to retain their current uses. He also recommended council allocate money for engineering work in 2018 not exceeding $70,000 “to mitigate the erosion threat to the north channel bridge.” Finally, Enns-Wind recommended council “commit to allocating the resources necessary for construction to mitigate the erosion in 2019. The cost may range between $400,000 to $1,200,000.” “Cost certainty will be known once the preliminary work and engineering design is completed,” according to Enns-Wind’s report. How the project will be funded for 2019 will be a topic at budget discussions.

reluctant about consolidation By Josh Greschner Staff Reporter

Cut Knife schools are consolidating, but securing support wasn’t always easy. The plan is to close the elementary school and have one K-12 school in the high school building starting next fall. A year ago, Living Sky School Division board chair Ronna Pethick said the board approached the community of Cut Knife to look at consolidating two schools into one K to 12 school. Pethick said the board met many times with school community councils. After going to their public and having a public meeting, the councils approved the consolidation. Pethick said the board is drawing $2 million from its reserves “for changes that need to be made to that school to accommodate all students from prek to Grade 12.” At a recent meeting with the board, MLA Larry Doke said he got “lots of calls about this over the last year, but to sum it up, once you people [the board] got out of the way, so to speak, and let [residents] make the decision, it went fine.” Doke said in meetings he’s had, “there were other underlying factors that had nothing to do with education, and that’s what was holding [the consolidation] back.” When faced with declining enrolment, school boards can convince school community councils to make the decision to close schools, and in some cases the board can consolidate schools. If enrolment drops too low, the board will close the

school anyway. Making a decision sooner means the school board saves money sooner in areas such as staff and building maintenance costs. Vickers argued the way to view the Cut Knife situation was residents get to keep the school, but the board is changing the configuration. Vickers also said conveying that message was difficult. “There was the illusion that the school division was coming in and telling them they have to do it,” Doke said. According to Doke, the school board wasn’t doing so. “Once we got that cleared up, they understood it was their decision, then it went OK,” Doke said. Pethick said the board believes the school consolidation is in the best interest of students. “Two months after we met with the school community councils, the numbers at the high

school dipped to a point where the board could have looked at closing the high school and Cut Knife might not have had a high school anymore,” Pethick said, adding “that was never a threat, but their numbers did drop.” Doke said some residents were skeptical. “When you explain it to [residents] and give them the information, then they understand and away they go,” Doke said. “But there’s always the assumption that it’s the heavy hand of government, or it’s the heavy hand of the school board, or it’s always the heavy hand of the health authority.” Doke said there was a lot of bad information amongst the citizens. Plans to consolidate schools in other communities are ongoing, but Pethick said the board hasn’t made any decisions yet.

Tax discounts

Continued from Page 17 Most councillors disagreed with Enns-Wind’s proposal to limit tax discounts to January. Susan McLean Tady disagreed with the current arrangement. “We are unique, but I don’t feel we should be giving people eight per cent or seven per cent on their money when we could be spending that money on our employees, or in any number of ways,” McLean Tady said. “That kind of return isn’t realistic in my mind and we aren’t a financial institution.” Arguments in favour of the discounts include the discounts making Battleford distinct from other municipalities that don’t offer them, and encouraging residents to pay taxes early. Councillor Judy Pruden argued tax discounts are “not a case of wealthy taking advantage. It’s a case of people who can manage their money wisely.” Pruden added, “I have numerous people say to me ‘If that discount is gone, you won’t be getting any of

my money until Aug. 31.’” After discussion, councillors decided against Enns-Wind’s initial recommendation to limit tax discounts to 5.4 per cent in January. Council voted in favour of lowering the 2019 tax discounts to seven per cent in January, six in February, five in March and three in April. May discounts are no longer offered. Council will decide 2020 tax discounts next year. Council also voted that taxpayers will be eligible for discounts if they pay their taxes in full once, rather than in various increments throughout the tax discount period. A final result of council’s Monday decisions regarding taxes is the TIPPs program applies to property tax. None of these discounts apply to the education portion of property taxes. In 2016, tax discounts were 10 per cent from January to March, eight per cent in April, six per cent in May and five per cent in June.

Sasko, The Hudson Bay Hotel’s pet moose In the winter of 1911, lumberjacks brought a baby moose to Marcotte’s Hotel at Hudson Bay Junction located in northeast Saskatchewan. The hotel owner, Alcide Marcotte, obtained a government permit to enable him to keep the moose calf in captivity. “Sasko” became the family pet. Every day, it would climb the steps of the Marcotte’s Hotel to be fed. According to the town’s local history book, Valley Echoes (1980), the moose basically had the run of the hotel. By the summer of 1911, Sasko must have outgrown the Marcotte’s hotel. The Saskatoon StarPhoenix reported on July 13 that the one-year-old moose had arrived at the CNR station from Hudson Bay Junction, packed in a piano box. “Saskatoon is to have a little zoo of its own opposite the Flanagan Hotel [now the Senator Hotel on 21st Street],” the newspaper stated. “Sasko … is turned loose inside a small run on 20th Street and seems quite at home.” Mr. G.A. Wilding, the new hotel owner, stated that he planned to present Sasko to the street railway company when it opened up a

Saskatoon Municipal Railway did not begin operating until 1913, the same year that the federal nursery station – now the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo – was established in Sutherland just outside Saskatoon. It is not known what happened to Sasko. Alcide Marcotte came from Quebec to the Prud’homme region of what is now Saskatchewan with his parents and eight siblings in 1897. When the Canadian Northern railway line came through around 1905, Alcide owned hotels in Warman, Osler and Vonda. In 1907, Alcide and his father, Joseph A. Marcotte, built the hotel at Hudson Bay Junction (called Eto-

mami until 1909; “Junction” was dropped in 1947). “There was a long bar with a brass rail and beautiful big mirrors over it,” Alcide’s daughter Elsie wrote in the Hudson Bay history book. “The customers were nearly all lumberjacks from the woods and they had every kind of liquor [in the hotel bar] they wanted.” Alcide and his wife Rosalie, 20 years his junior, raised their four children, Donald, Wilfred, Maurice and Elsie, in the hotel at Hudson Bay Junction. “I sure did love that hotel,” Elsie recalled. “[My father] treated mother like a princess. She was never allowed to work around the hotel, only to dress and look pretty for him. He was so proud of her and of course, she was never allowed to worry about business. When he died in

Continued from Front Police say the man was driving erratically and avoided tire deflation devices twice. Several police vehicles were struck and damaged while the suspect was evading arrest, according to a press release. A third attempt to immobilize the vehicle resulted in the deflation of one tire, however the suspect continued to drive on three tires. The suspect managed to get onto Highway 4 and headed north toward the village of Cochin. At this point, due to the increased risk to the public, the pursuit was discontinued. A number of other police vehicles were able to locate the suspect vehicle as it entered Cochin. The suspect drove into a local gas station, fled from the damaged truck and then attempted to steal another vehicle. However, RCMP members arrived on scene and quickly arrested the suspect. The vehicle the suspect was operating has been linked to a theft from Lloydminster, Alta. Sunday afternoon. The investigation into this incident is ongoing.

1920, she knew nothing of money matters or the hotel business.” (Valley Echoes) After her husband Alcide passed away, Rosalie managed Marcotte’s Hotel with the help of her sons. In 1935, Maurice Marcotte took over ownership of the hotel when his mother and sister, Elsie, moved to Los Angeles, Calif.. A beer parlour opened in the hotel that same year. The Marcotte family operated the hotel until 1955 when they sold it to a Mr. King. Not long afterwards, Ovide Desrochers and Arthur Kelm became the owners, changing its name to the DesRochers Hotel. There have been several owners since then.

Fire Prevention Week Fire extinguisher know-how Fire extinguishers are an important safety component in any home or building. They can mean the difference between a devastating fire or a minor incident. Although a fire extinguisher in the hands of a trained adult can be a life- and property-saving tool, many people are not properly skilled in the use of fire extinguishers. A large portion of the public has not received training on fire extinguisher use and when to use them. Sometimes the use of the wrong extinguisher can exacerbate a fire, as there are different fire extinguishers for different types of fires. Learning when and where to use an extinguisher can be a matter of life and death.

PROCLAMATION

By the powers vested in me, I, Ryan Bater, Mayor of the City of North Battleford, do hereby proclaim October 7th - 13th, 2018 as Fire Prevention Week in the City of North Battleford.

Type of Extinguisher Not all fires are alike, and fires started from different materials require the use of different extinguishing agents to safely and quickly put the fire out. There are five different types of extinguishers, and generally each will feature a symbol to show the applicable fire on which they can be used. Class A: These are used on ordinary substances, like cloth, wood, paper, and plastics. Class B: These extinguishers are used on fires that feature flammable liquids, such as oil-based paints or gasoline. Class C: These extinguishers are used on electrical equipment, such as tools or appliances that are plugged in. Class D: Commonly found in specific factories, these extinguishers are used on flammable metals. Class K: Combustible cooking materials, like animal oils and fats, can be extinguished with this agent. They are commonly found in commercial kitchens, but are now infiltrating residential markets as well. Multipurpose: Some extinguishers combine different agents so they are applicable for a range of fires.

This year’s FPW campaign, “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere,” works to educate people about three basic but essential steps to take to reduce the likelihood of having a fire––and how to escape safely in the event of one:

LOOK

2401-99th Street

When to Use a Fire Extinguisher Small fires may be smothered with an extinguisher. If the fire has spread or is already large in size, it’s likely only a trained firefighter can handle the blaze. Only use a fire extinguisher in these circumstances. 1. The fire is small and contained. 2. You have already called the fire department. 3. There is little chance of being consumed by toxic smoke. 4. You can escape safely if necessary. 5. The fire is not between you and the escape route. 6. You are physically able to carry its weight and exert the necessary pressure to operate it. Fire extinguishers should be routinely inspected and maintained to ensure they will be effective. Some need to be shaken to keep the dry chemicals from settling. Others need to have the pressure at the correct level. An extinguisher may need to be recharged or replaced if it is damaged. Individuals can talk with firefighters about possible training courses in the use of fire extinguishers. This will help a person know the correct way to handle and activate an extinguisher should it need to be used.

Look for places fire could start. Take a good look around your home. Identify potential fire hazards and take care of them.

LISTEN

Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm. You could have only minutes to escape safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Go to your outside meeting place, which should be a safe distance from the home and where everyone should know to meet.

LEARN

Learn two ways out of every room and make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily and are free of clutter. Also, Sparky the Fire Dog® has a new friend, Simon, who is helping teach this year’s FPW messages – He’s a smart, resourceful character who will join Sparky in spreading fire-safety messages to adults and children alike.

Warriors play Biggar under the lights Thursday By Sherri Solomko Correspondent

It’s been just over a week and the shock of that surprising snowstorm that arrived Sept. 21 and continued on to through that weekend still has not worn off. Elders in the community say September snows like this are rare. Here’s hoping it was a blip on the fall radar. Wishing everyone a family filled, fun and safe Thanksgiving weekend. Whether you are in the field, travelling to see family or hosting a gathering, make sure you take time to give thanks, as there really are a multitude of blessings we enjoy in our community. Thursday the Warrior football team hosts a game versus Biggar. The team and Warrior booster club are adding games, activities, 50/50 and a food booth to the evening. This game will be dedicated to the memory of Cole Bosch, who played for the Warriors in 2005, 2006 and was part of the provincial gold medal winning Warrior team of 2007. The team will be wearing green socks and green sports tape to show support for mental health awareness. Green glow sticks will be

distributed to show support for the cause and to get in the spirit of the night lights game. UCHS alumni, who now operate Villain Joint Ventures, are guaranteeing the 50/50 pot, with the Warriors donating their portion to the local mental wellness group. This weekend, UCHS will play host to the Tyler Zunti Memorial Alumni Volleyball Tournament. This is the third year UCHS alumni have hosted a volleyball event over Thanksgiving weekend. Organizers say typically they have hosted eight to 12 teams. The tournament is round robin allowing teams entered to play several games. Organizer Cody Belliveau says, “The event was renamed in remembrance of a teammate and friend who lost his battle with mental illness. Tyler Zunti was an extremely talented athlete whose love of sport and skill [focused on] volleyball. Former coaches have said he is arguably the best setter who has come

through the school in the past couple decades. “Tyler embodied all the things that we wanted to have at our tournament — skill, sportsmanship and making sure everyone has a good time.” Congratulations to Jeanne Cummings on her 95th birthday. Our fire hall is hosting an open house Oct. 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. The UFD is also looking for members, so speak with a current member while you are there. But most of all, shake the hand of one of these fine folks and thank them for the protective services they offer our community. Congratulations Celeste Bridgeman on retirement from the health region. Our community and health region benefited from her big smile and dedicated service People say newspapers are no longer relevant, but a recent poll on a social media site showed both sides of this story – those that said nothing interests them while others said they rely on it, especially those no longer living in the community. I assure you, almost always, your local papers are where ads are put first letting people know of upcoming events

Looking For Good Fibre

Registered Nutritional Product Advisor

headaches, depression, even colon cancer. The number one cause of constipation is a lack of adequate intake of dietary fibre on a daily basis. Dietary fibre is generally obtained from plant foods, and consists of the portion of the plant which is generally not digestible. For optimum colon health, a lifelong daily intake of 25 to 30 grams (about an ounce) of fibre is required. The average diet provides under half of this required amount. One serving of NutraCleanse a day provides approximately 60 percent of this daily recommended intake, which makes it an excellent dietary fibre cleansing supplement. Water intake is also a contributing factor. It is important to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. This is in addition to liquids such as tea or coffee, milk, etc. NutraCleanse is a delicious, natural blend of organic ground flax, psyllium husk, dandelion

utraCleanse is based on a 150 year old recipe and designed to promote optimum regularity and colon health. This product generally relieves constipation within 24 hours and the problem does not recur with continued use. The all natural ingredients of NutraCleanse offers numerous additional health benefits including lower cholesterol and blood pressure, rebuilding of skin cells and cartilage, loss of excess body weight, and increase energy and vitality. Optimally it is healthiest to have two to three bowel movements daily. Failure to eliminate waste from the body on a daily basis causes a host of problems. It slows down the rate at which wastes move through the colon leading to toxins being absorbed into the body. This “auto-intoxication” can, over a period of time, cause auto-immune disorders as well as problems such as obesity, gas, bloating, diverticulosis,

We have plenty of shopping opportunities and these businesses support the events and activities we have going on in our community each week. These are just some of the things to be thankful for. So you can see life is full of fun and activity in Unity with our friends at coffee row sharing this traditional part of our community culture. Until next time …

Eat your food with joy, enjoy being alive “Some days you just need to be in a bad mood at harvest time,” Ed told me yesterday. My old neighbour in Saskatchewan was feeling more negative than positive about his progress with his combining. I tried to point out that a change for the better may be only a day or so away. Working long hours at combining can also result in bad moods. It is my opinion that every day we are alive is a reason to be positive and thankful. Ed was skeptical. I tried to convince Ed the fact a person is alive is a positive situation compared to being dead. I told Ed the Bible says:

“Anyone who is among the living has hope – even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart. Enjoy life with your wife whom you love.” The Bible also says God has given you life under the sun, so you can labour with all your might before the grave, where there is no working or planning. Do we need to be positive because we are alive? Should we remember how fleeting life is for everyone? The Bible warns; “Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come. Whoever digs

a pit may fall into it, whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake, whoever quarries stones may be injured by them, whoever splits logs may be endangered by them. “As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly

upon them!” Accidents, injuries and death can happen without warning at any time. Ed said that people in Bible times had a short life expectancy. My old neighbour suggested folks live much longer now. He did agree that everyone will die. Ed feels that it is common sense

to believe being alive is better than being dead. He objects to my hope that everyone will die in faith in Jesus Christ who conquered death and the grave. Ed feels preachers pressure people to believe in Jesus when there is no rush needed. I told Ed that when he buys a lottery ticket, there is a time limit involved. The deadline for picking the winning number is set for the lottery. If you don’t buy a ticket before the deadline, you cannot win the lottery because you have no ticket. As we live our lives, we know that we all have a deadline ahead

of us, which is the time of our death. Mostly we are confident it is so far down the road it is out of sight for us. Death before us is inevitable but not immediate. The return of Jesus from heaven is certain but with no specific date. The Bible promises; “The Lord Himself will come down from heaven.” Jesus explained, “No one knows about that day or hour, only the Father in heaven.” He also warns, ”Keep watch because you do not know the day or the hour. So, you must be ready because the Son of man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

Road building progressing well on Highway 4 By Lorna Pearson Correspondent

A drive to Lloydminster verified the fact the Paynton Ferry is closed. Construction, by Montana Construction, is ongoing on Highway 4 south of Cochin through the hills. Watching them work, and comparing to the work of making a road through mountainous country, makes this work a piece of cake. There is lots of dirt right there in those big hills and it’s easy to move and not full of rocks either. Work at the 13 Mile Corner is ongoing but it will be good when they get those street lights up and

working again, a safety feature that is being missed greatly. Like the lighthouse guides the sailor home, so those lights are a landmark for travellers turning west. It would be good even if that one light west of the corner was engaged, one would have something to go by. The funeral service for the late Murray McCrimmon from Valleyview Towers II in North Battleford was held in Meota Community Complex Sept. 29. Bev and Murray lived in Meota before moving into the city a few years ago. A video show of Murray’s life was well presented and the stories three

of his granddaughters told presented a real picture of his well-lived life. Have you ever seen so much green grass in October as there is everywhere this year? Usually by now the hills and ditches are brown and dried up. Lawns still need cutting again before winter really sets in. The farmers are not too happy with the weather but seem to be combining even though the grain is not testing dry enough. Drying it

will be one more added expense for them. The dust is flying behind each machine and semi trucks are hauling, hauling – they were lined up right back to the highway on Friday afternoon at Nolin, so it must be moving somewhere. Many fields are covered with geese, mostly white ones, and crops that are not harvested yet are being destroyed by the millions of them. American hunters are happy and show up in their camo outfits in the restaurants and shops, good for the local economy. I see the Juncos are back, cleaning up spilled feed all around. The wild

canaries, or goldfinch, were here a few days ago, but may be gone south, behind the hummingbirds and robins. School buses are back on the streets and roads and people have to be extra cautious wherever there are children walking to or from a bus. So another school year is on and families are getting back into that routine. Duplicate bridge was played at the Do Drop In Sept. 25 with top scores going to Gerry Craig and Margaret Dyck. Second high were Eric Callbeck and Lucille Gregoire and third were Maureen Campbell and Bernard Gregoire.

On Thursday evening, in the Pioneer Hall, top score was by Jean Lawes and Fraser Glen. Second were Jette and Terence DaSilva and third were Donna Scherman and Gerry Craig. A few seniors gathered at one of the Killdeer apartment buildings in the city for a social afternoon of playing cards, Friday. Yvonne MacPherson was the hostess and set out a nice luncheon. The Rural Municipality of Meota’s administrator Tannys Mannix has resigned and they are advertising for someone to take her place. The council appreciates the work she has done during her tenure.

many years. He once lived in Speers and moved on to Hafford where he passed away. A funeral was held in Speers. Some of the harvest is still on hold in areas.

Where it’s dry enough to combine, machines have been going as much as possible. A lot of grain will have to be dried. It has been chilly for many days and nights. Not enough

warm sunshine, which is badly needed. There is the odd snow flurry just to get things dampened down again. Now we are into October there is still hope of dry harvest weather.

With the frost most gardens have come to an end. Thanksgiving weekend is coming up, so I would like to wish all my readers and the newspaper staff a good Thanksgiving.

Baljennie schoolteacher a staunch 4-H supporter By Dorothy M. Mills Correspondent

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Wintersgill and McDougall families of Baljennie and the Battlefords on the recent passing of Maralyn Wintersgill. Maralyn McDougall came to Baljennie in 1965-66 to teach at her first school along with Pat Lapshioff, as Baljennie School was made into a two-room school in 1961. In 1966 Maralyn married Edward Wintersgill. They have a family of three children, two sons and one daughter. After she got married she went back to teaching and the school was changed back to one room. After classes, Maralyn would teach music lessons. She taught our daughter Elaine how to play the piano and to read music. The Baljennie Multiple 4-H Club started up in 1979 with Eileen Snyder the club general leader. Maralyn was helping lead the club and went on to become a key leader for district 4-H in beef and grain. She also helped with the ceramic, crafts and sewing, as she was a skilled artist, who designed and created a good number of 4-H design and slogans. Maralyn served as the club general leader for 10 years and organized the multiple component of the regional show each year. It was a busy time for the club, as there were at least 30 members with many different categories for them to enter into. She helped design and put together floats for the parades in the Battlefords. She had so many good decorating ideas. 4-H stands for hands, heart, head and health and her heart was in the club. The club slowly folded and joined the Eagle Hills 4-H Club. She became a member of the Baljennie Community Club and was a leader for a few years. In 1979, the club decided to gather local history and family history. I worked with

Maralyn and Joan Rayner and we put in many long hours getting letters out asking for family history. These were compiled into Baljennie Reaches Far history book. Copies sold out fast and we could have printed more. She also painted a mural shaped like the province of Saskatchewan to be put on the community club wall. Maralyn then got a job in Battleford with a senior, handicap, health store called Sage. She was there for a few years until the store closed. She moved back to the farm. Maralyn had a dream mind to build a little replica church like the old St. Bridget’s Anglican Church that got hit by lightning in July 1952 and burned to the ground with all records lost. It stood in the church grounds next to the cemetery. Her dream came true, as in 2012 Maralyn and her husband Edward built the little church in their storage shed and moved it to the cemetery to where the old church stood. It was small as only four to six people could fit in the church at one time. There was a grand opening on Oct. 7, 2012. After some health problems, she passed away in the Battlefords Union Hospital. Burial is at the St. Bridget’s Baljennie Cemetery with no funeral held. She will be missed deeply by all. Sympathy also goes out to the Muzyka family of the Battlefords on the recent passing of Harry Muzyka of Hafford. He attended Eagle Hills School, then married and moved to Red Cross district near the old Porter elevator. They raised a family of seven children, sold the farm and moved on to a various other jobs. He was a member of the Battlefords Central CB Radio Club for

Cold doesn’t keep folks away from fall fair By Margaret MacEachern Correspondent

MAIDSTONE — Although Saturday was a cold day, a number of people attended the fall fair in Maidstone. The scarecrows were out again and many vendors braved the cold. The dedication of Memory Lane in memory of Margaret McLaren was well attended also. The Maidstone Quilting squares had a mini quilt show in the Legion Hall. They served lasagne, garlic bread and salad for lunch. The warm meal went over well on a cold day. The United Church ladies served pie and ice cream and did a good business also. Oct. 1 was a day for the

ine Island Apartments

“older people.” The library board of Maidstone hosted an event Monday for us at the Drop In Centre. Five members 90 years or older of the Drop In were honoured. Two members from the apartments, Jean Hartman and Jean Stewart, were given life memberships to the Drop In and a bouquet of flowers from the library board. Thank you all for an enjoyable afternoon. Sunday, Duncan MacEachern and I were to Saskatoon to help my daughter Hazel celebrate

her 65th birthday. Thirty people from Harry Landa Court, where Hazel resides, enjoyed coffee, cake and goodies in the afternoon. Supper was catered by Collette and Joe Warlow and Kale Stoughton to 15 people. They did an excellent job. Hazel wants to thank everyone who made her day so enjoyable. Jean Hartman and Gerald and Marie Hartman attended the funeral for Allan Noyes of Lloydminster. Allen is Jean’s brother-inlaw. We welcome Shirley Jansen to apartment No. 26. We will be in to visit when you get all settled, Shirley. The sun is shining today. Hopefully it will continue for some time.

Fourteen creative mnspiration flowed Tuesday when Battlefords Art Club members gathered to begin, continue or complete art pieces. Some of them may be on display at our show BATTLEFORDS ART CLUB and sale Oct. 19 and 20 at the Don Ross Craft Room. Oct. 9 we will hold our regular quarterly meeting at noon.

SIMPSON, Wayne (Weibert) Howard Simpson December 12, 1951August 23, 2018 Wayne was born December 12, 1951 in North Battleford. He attended Battleford Central School, Battleford Collegiate Institute and North Battleford Comprehensive High School. Wayne was truly a “Battleford Boy” and loved his community and people. He lived in his lovingly restored century old home on 28th Street in Battleford for the past 30 years with his wife Joanne. They married on April 28, 1989. In his early 20s, Wayne left the Battlefords for a brief time to work for the City of Edmonton. Following that he returned and worked as a farm labourer for Charabin Seed Farm. He left Charabin Seed Farm in 1990. He then arranged with Rick and Alex Swerid an apprenticeship to learn about furniture making and general carpentry. Eventually he was self-employed, installing tiling and wood floors, which he enjoyed along with restoration of his home. Because of his high standards and supreme craftsmanship he was highly sought after. In 2009, after a heart attack, he gradually lightened his workload until he retired in 2013. No matter what he did to earn a living, Wayne was first and foremost, an artist. His media was wood and scattered among his family and friends and his home are examples of his artistry and craftsmanship. His handmade furniture, serving trays, turned bowls and other items created on the lathe are all precious to those who have been gifted with them. He was a man who greeted each day with optimism and wry humour, and who lived each day he was given to its maximum potential, in his endearingly laconic way. Wayne was predeceased by: his brother Rae; his parents Mable and Gordon Simpson; and father-inlaw Edward Lucarz. He is survived by: his wife Joanne Lucarz Simpson; brother George (Dorothy) and family; sister Bev (Hugh) Smith and family and Twila (Dan) Laxdal and family; numerous cousins; mother-in-law Agnes Lucarz; and brother-inlaw Frank Lucarz and family. He is also remembered by his lovingly “adopted” children Kathryn and Luc Blanchard and family; Cameron and Kari Doig; Raquesh, Shvetal and Dhanush Patel. interment was at Willowmoor Cemetery, Battleford, August 27th, officiated by Reverend Gordon Yarde. Card of Thanks Thank you to all who came to celebrate Wayne’s life on Sunday, August 26th at Sloan Auditorium. Thank you to the “Battleford Boys” and others who visited him faithfully throughout his long illness. Thank you to all who supported both of us and our families, offering food, encouragement and diversion. We were truly blessed by the kindness of all. Finally thank you to the Saskatchewan Cancer Centre staff, Prairie North District Home Care team, COPS team at BUH, and Dr. Holtzhausen and staff for your services and care throughout his illness. - Joanne Lucarz Simpson and Wayne’s family __________________________________________________

OBITUARIES LESSING, Armindo Paulo In loving memory of Armindo Paulo Lessing of Radisson, SK, who died suddenly at home on September 25, 2018, at the age of 73. He was born on October 28, 1944, in Caçador, Santa Catarina, Brazil. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Martha; their daughter Christel (Jan Kepurra); his sister Brunhilde Cordeiro (Claudino); two nieces Liane and Maira; brother-in-law Kurt (Lia) Kramer and their children Marcus and Marcia. He was predeceased by his parents, Daniel and Arnilda (Keller) Lessing; sister Elli in infancy; sister Frieda at the age of 31; brother Leonardo at the age of 9; and his parents-in-law, Edmund and Elfriede Gust. Armindo was an avid soccer fan and loved to converse and visit with everyone, especially if it was about his homeland, Brazil. Because he read all papers, magazines, countless books including anything to do with history, war or geography, and watched many, many movies and documentaries, he could talk with knowledge on most any topic, and did it happily. The Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, October 4, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Radisson, SK, with Pastor Randy Fiege officiating. Donations may be made to St. Paul Lutheran Church, Radisson, and/or the Radisson First Responders.
