New owners at Turtle Mountain Resort

Chris and Carol Light are the new owners of Turtle Mountain Resort at Lake Metigoshe. They purchased the resort from former owners Mike and Heather Morrison.

PHOTO/COURTESY CAROL LIGHT

by Judy Wells Turtle Mountain All Season Resort has changed hands. Chris and Carol Light purchased the resort from Mike and Heather Morrison with possession date being February 1, 2016. They also dropped the “All Season” from the title - it is now Turtle Mountain Resort.

The couple knew they wanted to

retire at the lake some day. “When the opportunity came up we thought we’d better grab it. Chris grew up in Bottineau and on the American side of the lake. We met in 2010 and we always talked about moving back.

We want to have a legacy for our kids,” said Carol.

There aren’t any immediate plans for big changes. They want to get

their feet wet and settle in. A few changes include a licensed dining room and reopening the drive-up window.

“The resort will be seasonal to start. We have a 10-year plan in mind.”

Carol coaches figure skating for the Boissevain Skate Club and Chris works for Spearing Service. The

downturn of the oil industry also had an impact in their decision to purchase the resort at this time.

The hours will be: Monday – closed; Tuesday – Sunday 9:00; Busy season — open at 8:00.

There are six cabins for rent on a nightly/weekly/monthly basis: four 1-bedroom and two 2-bedroom.

Opening day will be April 5, 2016.

The government has established a Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying. It will review federal options in response to the Supreme Court of Canada ruling that the blanket prohibition against assisted death was in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In the ruling, the Supreme Court suspended its decision for one year to give Parliament time to respond. The government asked for a six-month extension beyond the deadline of Feb 6, 2016. The Court unanimously agreed to give them four more months. We (the undersigned), believe this extension is barely enough time for the government to meet its own schedule. We believe the issue deserves a broad and comprehensive review including substansive consultations with Canadians.

A majority of the Supreme Court also excused Quebec from the extension, clarifying the province can provide what it refers to as “medical aid in dying” in accordance with legislation passed last year. The Supreme Court also granted an exemption to those who meet criteria it established, allowing them to seek assisted suicide during the four month period with the approval of a judge. The special joint committee, made up of Members of Parliament and Senators, has been asked to report back with recommendations to the Minister of Justice by the end of February. The government plans to introduce legislation and have it passed by summer.

DECLARATION AGAINST EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED SUICIDE Assisted suicide and euthanasia raise profound social, moral, legal, theological and philosophical questions — questions that go to the very core of our understanding of who we are, the meaning of life, and the duty of care we owe to each other. The recent Supreme Court of Canada decision has brought this issue to the forefront of public discussion and compels each of us as Canadians to reflect upon our personal and societal response to those who need our compassion and care.

We, the undersigned, each from the basis of our sacred teachings and enduring traditions, affirm the sanctity of all human life, and the equal and inviolable dignity of every human being. This is an affirmation shared by societies and cultures around the world and throughout history. Human dignity is not exclusively a religious belief, although for us it has a significant religious meaning. Furthermore, we affirm that reverence for human life is the basis and reason for our compassion, responsibility and commitment in caring for all humans, our brothers and sisters, when they are suffering and in pain.

The sanctity of human life is a foundational principle of Canadian society. It has both individual and communal import: it undergirds the recognition of the equal dignity of each individual regardless of their abilities or disabilities and shapes and guides our common life together, including our legal, health care and social welfare systems. It engenders the collective promotion of life and the protection of the vulnerable.

While Canadian society continues to affirm the importance of human dignity, there is a worrisome tendency to define this subjectively and emotionally. For us, human dignity is most properly understood as the value of a person’s life before her or his Creator and within a social network of familial and societal relationships. We are convinced the only ways to help people live and die with dignity are: to ensure they are supported by love and care; to provide holistic care which includes pain control as well as psychological, spiritual and emotional support; and, to improve and increase resources in support of palliative and home care.

On the basis of our respective traditions and beliefs, we insist that any action intended to end human life is morally and ethically wrong.

Together, we are determined to work to alleviate human suffering in every form but never by intentionally eliminating those who suffer.

The withholding or withdrawal of burdensome treatment must be distinguished from euthanasia and assisted suicide. The intention in such cases is not to cause death but to let it occur naturally. We understand that under certain circumstances it is morally and legally acceptable for someone to refuse or stop treatment. The refusal of medical treatment, including extraordinary measures, is very different from euthanasia or assisted suicide. Euthanasia is the deliberate killing of someone, with or without that person’s consent, ostensibly in order to eliminate suffering.

Assisted suicide occurs when one person aids, counsels or encourages another person to commit suicide. There is a fundamental difference between killing a person and letting her or him die of natural causes.

Euthanasia and assisted suicide treat the lives of disadvantaged, ill, disabled, or dying persons as less valuable than the lives of others. Such a message does not respect the equal dignity of our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Health care systems must maintain a life-affirming ethos. Medical professionals are trained to restore and enhance life. They are not trained or expected to administer death. Any change in this regard would fundamentally distort the doctor/patient relationship. Similarly, all members of society are called upon to do their utmost to protect their neighbours when their lives or safety are threatened. This basic care and concern, so fundamental to society, is evident in the continuing efforts to provide better, readily available palliative and home care.

Health Canada defines palliative care as “an approach to care for people who are living with a life-threatening illness, no matter how old they are. The focus of care is on achieving comfort and ensuring respect for the person nearing death, and maximizing quality of life for the patient, family, and loved ones, and is a societal affirmation of caring for the most vulnerable amongst us. Palliative care addresses different aspects of end-of-life care by: managing pain and other symptoms; providing social, psychological, cultural, emotional, spiritual and practical support; supporting caregivers; providing support for bereavement.” Assisted suicide and euthanasia are contrary to the philosophy and practice of palliative care.

In light of the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, we urge federal, provincial and territorial legislators to enact and uphold laws that enhance human solidarity by promoting the rights to life and security for all people; to make good-quality home care and palliative care accessible in all jurisdictions; and to implement regulations and policies that ensure respect for the freedom of conscience of all health-care workers and administrators who will not and cannot accept suicide or euthanasia as a medical solution to pain and suffering.

Humanity’s moral strength is based on solidarity, communion and communication – particularly with those who are suffering. It is personal attention and palliative care and not assisted suicide or euthanasia that best uphold the worth of the human person. It is when we are willing to care for one another under the most dire of circumstances and at the cost of great inconvenience that human dignity and society’s fundamental goodness are best expressed and preserved.

Christians across Canada ae invited to add their signatures to the Declaration. Signing the Declaration will indicate broad support for its stated principles. It will also witness to the desire held by many in Canada to promote palliative care, home care and long-term care, and to ensure compassionate responses at all levels to those who are near death, as well those who are disabled, depressed, elderly or who feel burdened by physical or mental suffering and illness.

Nial Mills, Lumberjacks take national title

Nick Hunt has learned the technique of oil painting and is now teaching that talent to the residents at the Hartney Personal Care Home and Lodge. He is holding a solo show at Lagasse’s Studio of Fine Art in Souris this April.

PHOTO/SUBMITTED

by Kathleen Lagasse Kathleen is the owner and resident artist at Lagasse’s Studio of Fine Art in Souris. You can see hers, and many other artist’s works on display at the Studio.

For many years Nick Hunt has loved doing pencil drawings. While he loved every minute of it, he wanted to learn something new.

Nick discovered that Kathleen Lagasse of Lagasse’s Studio of Fine Art in Souris was willing to teach oils to others so he began learning from her.

It has been over year since Nick started in oils and it was easy for him to master the technique. Now he is feeling comfortable enough

to teach oils to residents of the Hartney Personal Care Home and also at the Lodge. Hunt has been perfecting his way of painting either at home, the Personal Care Home at Lagasse’s rental studio, or classes instructed by Kathleen.

“Oils are a wonderful medium because of its forgiving nature”.”

History fascinates Nick and is an important topic to a lot of his artwork.

Come in and see his pieces displayed now at Lagasse’s Studio of Fine Art. Also, look for his upcoming solo show set for April 2016. He will have close to 20 pieces on display for the month.

Nial Mills is in his first year at Dakota College in Bottineau and is a member of the Lumberjacks hockey team that recently won a national title in Binghamton, NY. See story for more. Congratulations Nial.

by Judy Wells The Bottineau Lumberjacks recently competed at their national competition at Binghamton, New York. It was an excellent tournament with an exciting overtime final and the win for the Jacks! This makes the ninth national title for the college hockey team.

Nial Mills, formerly of Deloraine, is a member of the Lumberjacks.

His head coach, Travis Rybchinski, had a bunch of good things to say about Nial.

Deloraine Times: What does Nial bring to the team?

Coach Rybchinski: Nial brings many intangibles to the team but the two main ones he brings: some offensive ability and some speed.

Nial led the team with 5 shorthanded goals this season.

Deloraine Times: I imagine you fulfilled your goal this season by winning Nationals.

What is your goal for next season? For Nial?

Coach Rybchinski: Our goals do not change from year to year. #1 is to win a National Championship at our level and we were fortunate to accomplish that and secondly it is to try to attain a 3.0 grade point average. Next year I think Nial can take a leadership role with us and up his point total.

We are very happy Nial chose to come to school here in Bottineau. He comes from a great family and a great community and we love having westman kids as part of our program.”

Congratulations to Nial and the Lumberjacks!

Waskada Chamber hosts Valentine supper submitted by Fran Dickinson The community hall was a buzz of activity Friday, February 12, for the annual Chamber sponsored community supper. This was a chance to treat your Valentine! There was a door prize for the ladies of a beautiful fresh flower arrangement, from Nicole McGregor’s at-home shop. As well, stems of roses in an array of bright colors were there to purchase for your Valentine. The Old Timers Hockey handled the kitchen duties in a fine manner, serving up a delicious prime rib meal. A great job!

Buying was brisk for the draw of two Jets tickets plus some cash, as well as for the many Rainbow Auction items.

Chamber president, Bill Dickinson, gave words of thanks to the Old Timers and to all who had donated to the evening. He then called on Roland

Hainsworth to bring the gathering up-to-date on the progress of our new rink complex, where the evening’s proceeds were to go.

As in past years, a special part of this evening is the presenting of the RM’s “Volunteer Appreciation” award. This year’s recipients were Isobel and Art Teetaert, of Medora. Myrna Brister graciously related some of the many attributes Art & Isobel bring to their little Medora community. Whenever or wherever there was a need, they were there, be it to fill in at the Community Centre, help tend the garden or lawn for friends when there are health problems, or for the many cakes and sandwiches so often called for in their little town. On behalf of the Brenda-Waskada RM, Kirsty Mann thanked the honoured couple for all their volunteerism, presenting them with a small clock. Head of Council, Gary Williams, also related with them on a wee bit of history of a Halloween incident, some years ago! Gary also told

how the Plaque with all the names of those recognized to date, had been made by Jim Smart, out of wood salvaged from the old CPR water tank at Napinka.

Carrying on with the evening, there was some rush buying of tickets before the draws began.

There was some friendly banter over the fact that more red tickets were drawn than blue ones!

Winner of the door prize was Linda Hainsworth, and Jarred Spence was the lucky winner of the two Jets tickets.

Following this, Peter Downey in his always-jovial manner conducted a rousing Live Auction for a couple of beef roasts and then the “big” item, an autographed framed picture of Dustin Byfuglien, of the Winnipeg Jets, donated by Jim & Vi Neilson, of Goodlands. A happy Gary Williams was the highest bidder.

It was another great evening of food and fellowship, thanks to our Chamber.

OBITUARY

OBITUARY

Charles Donald Hasselfield May 5, 1924 - February 23, 2016

Don was born in Deloraine, MB on May 5, 1924 the only son of Charles Frederic and Lillian Irene (Edmondson). Don attended school in Deloraine until graduation. After a year at the Royal Canadian Naval College in Victoria B.C. he served two years at sea with the RCNVR. The first year was spent on HMCS Iroquois in the North Atlantic, Arctic (Murmansk Run) and the Bay of Biscay.

The second year was on HMCS Snowberry, mostly in the English Channel.

During the period of 1942 to 1945, Don rose from Naval Cadet to Lieutenant.

After the war he attended the University of Manitoba, graduating with a BSc. in Pharmacy in 1949.

On August 17, 1947 Don married Verna Janet (MacLachlan). They had five children. Charles John, Virginia Dagmar, Donald Barton, David Lachlan and Elizabeth Dorothy (Lisa). Presently they have 11 grandchildren and 4 greatgrandchildren who mourn Don’s loss. Don was predeceased by Verna in 2006 and his grandson Corey in 2002. Don is survived by his sisters - Lorna Hamilton and Gwen Trip.

In 1955, Don took over ownership of his father’s business, Hasselfield’s Drugs, which had been established in Deloraine in 1903. A familiar figure at the back of the store in his white coat, Don served the community until, at the age of 72, he passed the baton to the third pharmacist in the family, his eldest son John.

During Don’s career he received the prestigious award of the Bowl of Hygeia which is given by state, provincial, and National pharmacist associations in the United States and Canada to recognize a living pharmacist that possesses outstanding leadership in their community, while encouraging other pharmacists to take active roles in their communities.

Don served as Town Councillor and contributed to many community projects over the years such as the installation of artificial ice in the arena and watered fairways at the golf course. He took over from his father in 1955 as treasurer of the Red Cross and became interested in the Water Safety Program. He was a convenor of the program for 20 years.

A lifetime love of hockey led to quite a number of years of involvement with the Deloraine Minor Hockey Program. He and Glynn North, with Roy Perrin of Killarney and Len Keyes of Boissevain, organized the Turtle Mountain Minor Hockey League, which is still going strong. In 1965-66 he and Lorne Day combined their teams to win the M.A.H.A. Bantam AB Championship.

Don and Verna enjoyed many years of Square Dancing and helped to form the Turtle Mountain Twisters.

The Deloraine Chamber of Commerce honoured Don and Verna as “Citizens of the Year” in 2000. This recognized their contributions to the community and in particular, their work on the two History books of Deloraine – “Deloraine Scans a Century” from 1880-1980 and “Deloraine Meets the Millennium” a 643 page history from 1980-2000.

Don and his family experienced decades of enjoyment at Lake Metigoshe. Don, along with Glynn North, George Franklin and Rod Fraser, created Lake Metigoshe Investments Limited following the purchase of the land from an American owner in 1955. By 1999 all of the lots had been surveyed and sold land except for a portion that was donated as protected forest. To this day, Don’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren enjoy the lakefront family cabin.

After retiring from the drugstore, Don enjoyed many years of great golf. Very active in the Deloraine Golf Club community, he organized many weekly tournaments, playing well until the age of 85.

Slowed down by a diagnosis of Spinal Stenosis, he moved to the Deloraine Personal Care Home in 2011.

The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and health care staff of the Deloraine PCH for giving such high quality, loving care to our Dad during his final years.

Donations in memory of Don may be made to the Southwest Foundation or to a charity of one’s own choice.

Joan loved spending time with her family and friends whether it was a vacation or just a visit around a campfire. Family was an important part of Joan’s life and she did her best to always provide her love and support to each one of her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed camping, fishing, reading, knitting and curling to name a few of her activities.

She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters: Margie (Keith), Melissa (Des); her grandchildren: Kienan, Myles (Deanna), Alicia (Nolan), Claire, Layne, Ryker, and Ryland; siblings: Darlene (Grant), Bruce (Sherry); and many nieces and nephews.

The Times “Cypress River hosts community Engagement” The Cypress River Ag Society hosted a gathering to brainstorm through a Community Engagement process. Community Engagement is an initiative of Manitoba Association of Agriculture Societies (MAAS). It came about as a result of hearing from many Ag societies that they were struggling to keep their events (many of them fairs) going, the lack of volunteers available and in some, and the lack of commitment.

It is a process, which will hopefully lead to the revitalization of the local Ag society as well as the community as a whole.

PHOTO/JUDY WELLS

By Judy Wells Harvest Community Church hosted the World Day of Prayer service in Deloraine on Friday, March 4. This year’s ecumenical service was written by women in Cuba and was entitled “Receive Children. Receive Me.” Anna Aitchison welcomed everyone warmly. A film about Cuba was shown to give everyone in attendance background information about the host country.

A brief history about World Day of Prayer stated that this yearly event was actually started by women in Canada and the U.S. in 1922 and is now observed in more than 170 countries. The

World Day of Prayer is facilitated by the World Day of Prayer International Committee, which meets once every five years to select the themes and countries for upcoming services. In 2017 the service will be written by the women of the Philippines under the theme “Am I Being Unfair to You?”. That service will focus on economic partners.

The service included participation from St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, St. Antoninus Catholic Church, Harvest Community Church, Fellowship Community Church and Deloraine Area United Church.

Readers introduced several Cuban women, that represented: the Word of

God, Fruits of the Earth (food), Light of her generation, Joy and Rhythm, Love, Song. Several hymns were sung throughout the service, a good indication of the importance of music in Cuban culture.

There were readings from the Old Testament and New Testament followed by reflection and meditation.

The Cuban women shared some actions resulting from prayer: “In answer to our prayers, the economic isolation of Cuba under a trade embargo imposed by the Untied States in 1960 is lifting. The embargo manifested itself in a scarcity of material goods, including medicines, and

in emigration, especially of young Cubans. The hope of any nation lives in its children. The rapid shift in Cuba’s relationship with the United States we pray will not diminish the strength and character of the Cuban people.

This World Day of Prayer service bears witness to the women and men who shared God’s love and their Christian faith through the storms of revolution and an atheist State. Change and uncertainty are on the horizon for Cuba. May the prayers o the world with and f or the Cuban people be as a rising light of support and love.”

A time of fellowship and refreshments were enjoyed by all.
