Roughriders visit Assiniboia for Reading Month

Marni Chadwick’s Grade 5 class from Assiniboia School had a very special visit from the Saskatchewan Roughriders, for Rider Reading Month.

In 2015 the Saskatchewan Roughriders started their Rider Reading

Month. This is a community initiative that was created to help promote literacy and a love for reading amongst the children of Saskatchewan.

To participate, teachers need to commit to spending at least 15 minutes per school day with

their students reading for a chance to win an in-class visit from a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

An unfortunate scheduling error caused their Rider visitor to not show originally, so they needed to reschedule. On May

5th, Justin Capicciotti and Shawn Lemon, accompanied by Gainer the Gopher, came to visit the Assiniboia Elementary School.

All of the classes had the opportunity to have a group photo with the players and the Rider

mascot before Chadwick’s class had some one-on-one time. They took this opportunity to ask Justin and Shawn questions about books, music, video games, sports, and even convinced the players to dance the Gummy Bear

song.

Once everybody was danced out, Justin and Shawn sat with two separate classes and took some time to read with the children before both players joined the children for recess and a game of ball.

Pastor Doug Miner and the Messiah Lutheran Family of Assiniboia.

If you were lucky enough for someone to express their love for you with flowers this Mother’s Day, you might have also been lucky enough to get a visit from Corporal Jason St. Pierre, in full serge, delivering Mother’s Day Flowers. This is something that St. Pierre has volunteered his time to do over the last several years in whichever town he is stationed at the time. The staff of Mom’s Florist really appreciates the time he takes to do this, and the mother’s definitely enjoy the surprise.

John 14:12-15, 2526: “Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glori�ied in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.”

Say to someone: If you ask me for anything, I will do it. Money, sex, and power are probably on the top of their list, house, SUV, boat, or all of the above.

Something tells me it’s not that easy. Actually, I believe four words are key to understanding the catch we’re waiting for. Believe, glory, and my name, seems to stand out in this reading.

In Jesus’ own words, belief in him comes �irst, but what are we to believe? Belief that he is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, as Peter said it so eloquently; yet even such a faith statement by Peter still left him lacking. The long answer may be found in reading about, and taking to heart, everything that Jesus did and why he did it. This is a longer journey to believing in Jesus.

Glory to the Father through believing in Jesus the Son, but also a prayer or request that, even in our sin, and by God’s grace, seeks the glory of the Father. Remember when the disciples admitted to Jesus that they could not cure a person, and Jesus told them they needed to pray? Simplistic, but I believe it makes the point that our requests ought

to glorify God our Father, not ourselves, our agendas, or our theologies.

In my name, says Jesus, and here I recall the third commandment, “Do not misuse my name. I am the Lord your God, and I will punish anyone who misuses my name.”

Ex. 20:7 CEV: An example; years ago working in spiritual care in a hospital I saw walking toward me a man who looked to be completely without hope. Spending some time with him he told me that his pastor and others from his church had come and prayed with him. Because he wasn’t immediately healed they left him, telling him he had no faith. Was God’s name glori�ied here, or was God’s name misused?

It is worthwhile to re�lect upon our witness, our prayers and minis-

try. Is it in the name of Jesus Christ that we seek with heart, soul, mind and strength, to glorify our Father in heaven? Such re�lection will reassure us that we begin from a point of belief in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

The promise of God is that the Holy Spirit, through word and sacrament, continues each day making us a little more like the Jesus whom we call Lord. Pentecost, the Holy Spirit of God coming into our world, will remind us all that God desires to journey with us, nurturing us in faith, convincing us of our salvation, and answering our prayers and requests as they glorify our Father in heaven.

God is blessing us all, as we journey each day with the promised Spirit of God. May we all have eyes to see this.

Donations desperately needed for Salvation Army

Enter SDMA, a form of the amino acid Arginine that is released from the body’s cells and excreted by the kidneys. We have known about SDMA since the mid-1900’s but only recently have blood tests have been developed to measure SDMA in our pets. We can now use a pet’s blood concentration of SDMA to measure how well the kidneys filter the blood.

By measuring SDMA, we can detect early chronic kidney disease and average of 17 months earlier in cats than our previous lab tests, when there is only a 40-per-cent decrease in kidney function. Previously, veterinarians could only determine chronic kidney disease when there was closer to 75 per cent kidney

function loss. That is a huge improvement in regards to how well we can reduce the impact failing kidney function has on your pet’s well being.

By catching flagging kidney function early, we can give your pet a much better life. Your veterinarian can look for, and treat, an underlying cause of the early kidney damage such as a toxin or infection to minimize its damage.

Often an inciting cause of the kidney disease is no longer present when using traditional blood tests. If your pet has early kidney disease, your veterinarian can start monitoring their blood pressure and blood work, as well as starting treatments to minimize kidney damage and uremic crises. Uremic crises happen when the animal’s kidneys are

unable to filter out urea produced during normal protein metabolism. This leads to the normal signs of kidney disease seen in cats: nausea, inappetence, drooling and neurological signs such as incoordination and convulsions.

Age related diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, sneak up on most pet owners. Often pets hide any early symptoms and the only way to catch the early signs is through routine blood work. Chronic kidney disease is a progressive disease that we can only slow the progression of without a kidney transplant. By catching the disease early, your veterinarian can initiate treatments to reduce the amount of damage to your pet’s kidneys.

The Salvation Army is in need for the Food Bank and needs help from the general public to raise cash and food donations in order to be distributed to those in need.

These days the

number of families in need is rising, and the amount of donations seems to be lesser.

The Salvation Army Food Bank needs a mixture of non-perishable items, such as canned vegetables,

Tipping confusion

can be understandable, because there are no real rules for tipping. The etiquette of it can seem pretty arbitrary. There are some people-facing professions where tipping is almost ‘expected’ and others where their people handling roles are considered part of the job.

OPINIONS &

No real rules for tipping

Part of our responsibility is to be a respectful community member and give to those who deserve a tip, without going overboard.

For many Canadians, it is typical to consider gratuity while at a restaurant, a hair salon, or staying at a hotel/ motel. But one should be cautious about their standard tipping rates and how they make the final judgement on who should get tipped.

When it comes to the dining out experiences, there are some restaurants that already include the gratuity in their prices. For those places that offer delivery, many of them in-

clude a delivery charge in their prices.

There are so many considerations when you are tipping at a restaurant. When you have a good meal, should you consider tipping the chef in addition to your server? When you have a poorly prepared meal, are you likely to not tip in response?

There have also been some studies that state that a customer’s assessment of the server’s work only accounts for between one and five per cent of the variation in tips at a restaurant.

There are also some alternating policies regarding tip sharing and

tip pooling, which occur in virtually every restaurant, which makes the tipping situation even more complicated.

There are also some service professions that people don’t think about tipping, even though they too are going above and beyond to provide quality service. Have you considered tipping your gas station attendant — especially on really cold days?

For many people, there is the claim that these individuals are just ‘doing their job’ and thus their service will be reflected in their paychecks. But really, isn’t this same thought true for those who are

in service professions such as waiter/waitress?

Perhaps we should be working for better pay equality for those who ‘depend’ on tips to make ends meet.

There are many difficult and challenging jobs out there, where people just want to feel appreciated for what they do. Perhaps we should look at other ways to show our appreciation besides tipping.

We must also be respectful and aware of different cultural beliefs, especially when traveling abroad. One also should consider that tipping isn’t a com-

Book Review: “Indian Ernie”

“Indian Ernie: Perspectives on Policing and Leadership” is written by Ernie Louttit and published by Purich Publishing Ltd. Keith Foster writes this review.

The best leaders and the best teachers are the ones who’ve learned by experience. Ernie Lout-

tit is one of those leaders who teaches many valuable life lessons in his book, Indian Ernie: Perspectives on Policing and Leadership. This is an up-close, personal look at some of the seamier streets of Saskatoon where his police beat took him.

Ernie was educated in the school of hard knocks.

Kicked out of school several times before Grade eight, he dropped out of grade eleven. He worked as a labourer in northern Ontario, joined the Canadian Armed Forces, and served for

a time as a peacekeeper with the United Nations in Cyprus. He was with inexperienced troops whose job was to patrol the front lines between hostile Greek and Turkish forces. “Somehow we made it through without getting ourselves killed or starting a war,” Ernie notes.

After a stint as a military policeman, Ernie joined the Saskatoon Police Service, becoming only the third native member of the force. As an Aboriginal man, he faced racism and discrimination throughout his life. But he turned these adversities to his advantage. Those who tried to beat him down, taught him perseverance. Those who tried to put him down, taught him tolerance for others. “Indian Ernie” simply outlasted his enemies and carried his nickname like a well-earned badge of honour.

Ernie provides some graphic details of crimes he investigated. Although he sympathized with fellow natives who broke the law, justice came �irst. A crime was

monplace practice in every country.

In fact, in some places, it’s regarded as a vulgar display of wealth and a disregard for the culture. In other places, their service providers will clamour all over a tourist just for that tip.

The most important thing is to make sure that when you do decide to tip a service provider, that you are doing it for the right reasons and that you make it a fair and reasonable rate. Sometimes all you have to do is clearly state what you are expecting, and ensure that you get quality service no matter what you are tipping.

a crime, regardless of one’s ethnic make-up or background. Ernie believed in telling the truth, at all costs. “The truth is the thin crust on which justice walks,” he writes. Fortunately, the justice system had greatly improved by the time Ernie retired from the force in 2013.

An engaging storyteller with a mass appeal, Ernie’s distinctive writing style is reminiscent of the television series Dragnet, where he succinctly tells “just the facts” of a case, then launches into his opinion of its outcome. He spent his entire twentyseven years with the Saskatoon Police Service in the patrol section, even after attaining the rank of sergeant. A people person, he preferred patrolling a beat, meeting people face to face, rather than being con�ined to a desk.

He got to know the people on the street and often arrested repeat offenders; he knew their hideouts, especially one apartment building that was home mainly to alcoholics and drug users.

He visited this building so frequently that the owner gave him a key to the front door. Some tenants actually rehearsed their escape routes in case Ernie showed up.

This 190-page book contains a dozen black and white photos of Ernie’s early family life and his life on the job.

The twenty-three chapters are packed with life lessons – lessons Ernie learned the hard way. Winner of the Aboriginal Peoples’ Writing Award at the 2015 Saskatchewan Book Awards, Indian Ernie: Perspectives on Policing and Leadership should be required reading at every police college in Canada.

About the Artist: Crystal Thorburn

Crystal and her husband recently returned to the family farm where they grow and market organic grains. Her rural roots and deep connection with nature has influenced her subject matter and the intervening relationship between man and nature.

She has spent many years experimenting with different mediums from oils to watercolors and everything in between. She has found that using various mediums to create her images has been instrumental in getting to the final vision. By using color and texture to enhance a certain aspect of the subject has also been a tool that she utilizes. The challenge to portray a subject in a unique and interesting way that will speak to the viewer on some level has

fueled her inspiration and motivation.

She has participated in many local, regional and provincial exhibitions as well as many painting workshops. Her solo exhibition, “Fragmentations” in 2009 and group exhibition, “Roots” were displayed at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery in Yorkton.

More recently she has shown some of her work at the Shurniak Art Gallery, Moose Jaw Art Gallery and Museum and the Mae Wilson Cultural Centre in Moose Jaw.

Crystal has a long list of awards and shows to her credit, and has received commissions for work from businesses and many individual requests. She has also taught painting classes in acrylic, sketching and mixed mediums.

About the artist: Ted Hansen

Ted Hansen started as an artist in 1988. He was going to take a history class at the University of Saskatchewan, but it was full so he ended up in a sculpture class instead.

It was taught by the well-known Saskatoon sculptor Bill Epp and by mid-year Hansen decided to switch to an art major, graduating in 1993. For the next few years he had little time to actually do much art as he was still working.

In 2005 he retired and, together with his wife Elly (who will also be attending the Assiniboia retreat) Hansen joined a local evening watercolour class. This time the bug really bit (for both of artists). Since that time the couple has devoted as much time as possible to art.

Ted started out using watercolour, but in the past few years he has been working quite

a bit in acrylic as well. “I work fairly quickly. Although this is not deliberate, I feel that this creates freshness in the work. Usually I will know within an hour or two whether or not a painting is going to work out even though the painting may not actually be finished at that point.”

His subjects almost always include a human element. Even in the landscapes where it might only be an old building, a fence or a bit of old machinery, there is almost always something that indicates people have been there. “Lately I have been focusing on the human element directly, working with portraits in both watercolour and acrylic.”

Each medium allows a very different treatment of the subject and the resulting portraits are very different. The subjects are usually old movie stars or other people

who have had their “15 minutes of fame” some time ago.

Hansen is currently a member of Watermarks Art Group, Bridge City Art Group and Montgomery Brushstrokes Art Group in Saskatoon. He has a B.A. with an art major and in addition have taken workshops from Graham Flatt, Rolf Krohn, Carol Wylie, Dean Bauche, Darrel Baschak, Jan Layh, Eltje Dagenhart, and David Langevin. His idea of a really great holiday is attending an art retreat somewhere like Shellmouth or Assiniboia.

About the Artist: Jan Layh

Jan lives with her husband, Don, on their farm in the Assiniboine River Valley east of Lan-

genburg. She has recently retired from teaching French and Arts Education at Langenburg High School.

Layh is active in the arts community. She is president of the Langenburg Arts Council and chairs the Visual Arts Committee, which organizes the annual Langenburg Adjudicated Art Show and the annual art gala and auction.

Jan has facilitated numerous workshops in the arts, education, policy-making, strategic

planning and succession planning. She is a strong promoter of local art and is always on the lookout for emerging artists in the community. For the past 18 years Jan has organized the annual Shellmouth Summer Art Retreat attended by artists from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.

The Prairie landscape has always been an inspiration for Jan. The changing seasons, the grandeur of prairie vistas, and the often-sub-

tle colours of the prairies continually challenge her work. She paints in watercolour, oil and acrylic. Most of her oil pieces are painted with a palette knife. Recently she is painting portraits, which is a new (and difficult) challenge, and will inform her future work.

Layh has also painted collaboratively with colleagues. In August 2014, she and two artist colleagues, Dean Bauche and Darrell Baschak were invited to represent Saskatchewan

in Charlottetown, P.E.I. painting a large mural depicting a Saskatchewan story.

Jan has had shows in Saskatoon (Collector’s Choice and Humanum Galleries), Regina (McIntyre Street Gallery), Winnipeg (Fleet Gallery) and Calgary (Free Spirit Gallery) and Assiniboia (Shurniak Gallery). Her most recent exhibit was at the Shurniak Gallery in Assiniboia in the summer of 2014. Jan also shows her work from her home studio.

May Trail of the Month

Each month from May to September, the Saskatchewan Trails Association (STA) is promoting a trail in a different part of the province to encourage people to explore nature and be physically active.

Lumsden/Deer Valley

Trans Canada Trail

It’s a portion of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) that can accurately be described as picturesque. In 2010, three trails, the SawWhet Trail, Deer Valley Trail and Lumsden Trail, were combined to form a single pathway for users called the Lumsden/

Deer Valley TCT system.

R.M of Waverley No. 44

It is with great sorrow that the family of Bernard Michel Merrien, age 86, announce his passing on April 20th, 2016. Bernard was born Sept. 10th, 1929 on the farm north of Willow Bunch. In 1930 the family moved to a ranch in the Harptree district (now owned by Kyreon and Joan Rood). They lived here for 13 years. Bernard and his sister Jacqueline rode horseback four miles to Muddy View School. They grew up surrounded by nature’s beauty. This had a lasting impression on him and instilled a love of nature and animals.Bernard met the love of his life Christine Wrolson and they were married 1954. They have two children Wanda and Kevin. He liked the farm lifestyle and being active in the community. He was willing to give a helping hand when needed. He enjoyed riding a good horse, working with cattle and helped at roundups on surrounding ranches for over 50 years. He was on the Rodeo Association Committee for many years. Team roping with his son and grandson Lee was a sport they all loved and could do together. Bernard was a hard-worker, a cattleman, horseman, craftsman, storyteller and most of all a respected, caring family man. He loved his family dearly. Bernard was an avid reader and loved books about the early days of ranching and pioneering. Having a remarkable memory, he remembered everything he read. Visiting with family and friends, reminiscing about the old days was another pastime that he liked. A cruise to Alaska, The National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Louisiana, as well as the train trips through the Canadian Rockies and to Branson, Missouri, with friends along, a good time was had but he was happy to get back home.Bernard was predeceased by his parents Jacques and Jeanne Merrien, daughter-in-law Lori Merrien, brothers-in-law John Paterson, Don Kupper and Martin Wrolson, two sisters-in-law Eleanor Kupper and Eileen Wrolson, Bernard is survived by his wife of 61 years, Christine (Wrolson) Merrien, daughter Wanda (Hewitt) Pulfer, son Kevin Merrien (Linda Bruneau), sister Jacqueline Paterson, five grandchildren, Lee (Jen) Merrien, Nicole (Dusty) Shaver, Lance Merrien, Marlon Pulfer (Sherylee), Aletta (Dean) Maier and seven great-grandchildren Houston, Ciera, Holden, Halle, Hanna, Braylan, Ethan and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jane “Jean” Bjornson (nee Brown)

Jane “Jean” Bjornson of Rockglen, Saskatchewan passed away April 15, 2016 at the Grasslands Health Centre in Rockglen, at the age of 100 years. Predeceased by her husband Theodor (Ted) Bjornson, infant brother Lawrence Brown, and parents, Arthur & Annie Brown, Jane is survived by her daughter Florence (John) Pituley, son

Lorne (Judy) Bjornson, grandchildren Brenda (Darcy) Jacksteit and Karen Bourassa (Sean Latta), great-grandchildren Taylor Bourassa (Kooper Felker), Landen Bourassa (Kory Cheshire), Jayden Jacksteit and Keagan Jacksteit, sister-in-law Doris Bjornson, brothers-in-law Roy Bjornson and Kenneth (Charlotte) Bjornson, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Jean was born April 4, 1916 on the family farm, Quantock district, Saskatchewan and spent all of her 100 years in the area. Jean took her grade 8 at Aryton, a nearby country school, riding horseback every day. Following school, Jean worked for neighbour ladies, especially helping cook in the fall for the threshing crews that worked in the community. During this time, is when she met her future husband Ted Bjornson. They were married on October 21, 1942 and farmed with cattle, pigs, and chickens. During these years is when Florence and Lorne were born. Jean always had several gardens, especially a huge potato patch, several flower beds and a big vegetable garden. Always preserving for the winter, canning and later freezing! Jean was also a good seamstress, making blouses, dresses, aprons, etc. In the fall of 1973, Jean and Ted moved into Rockglen and semi-retired! For 20 years, they hobby farmed the original Brown homestead, with Jean having her potato patch and some veggies at the farm as well as the whole back yard into the vegetable garden at their house in Rockglen! Thanksgiving weekend in 1992, Jean and Ted celebrated their 50th Anniversary, for the whole community, friends and relatives filled the hall, dancing to a band being the main part of the party! A lot of time was spent at the Drop In, playing cards and enjoying coffee with friends. Jean could be seen on Bingo nights helping and playing at the same time! Sadly, Ted passed away, unexpectedly in January, 2001, Jean continued to live in her house, looked after her flowers in her flower beds as well as growing her favourite veggies. Jean loved reading the Leader Post, keeping up on the news as well as certain sports, especially baseball and curling, and doing the puzzles. Jean also enjoyed cross stitch making each of the girls in her family a table cloth, a real keepsake for them. With the help of her daughter, Florence, she was able to stay in her own home until just three years ago, when her health started slipping and she moved into Grasslands Health Centre, where she was looked after very well. Jean celebrated her 100th birthday on the weekend before April 4, with immediate family, relations and her fellow residents and staff. Jean lived 11 more days! Funeral Service, according to the Anglican Church of Canada, was held Saturday, April 23, 2016 at 2:00 pm at Wesley United Church, Rockglen, SK. Reverend Arleen Champion officiated. Tribute was given by Jean’s Granddaughters Karen and Brenda. Honourary Pallbearers were: Friends and fellow residents and staff of the Grasslands Health Centre. Pallbearers were Jean’s Great-Grandchildren: Taylor, Landen, Jayden, Keagan, Kooper, and Kory. Interment followed at Quantock Cemetery. Donations may be made to Five Hills Health Region for the Warming Blanket Cupboard at Grasslands Health Centre or to the charity of your choice. Ross Funeral Service in care of arrangements.

TOWN OF ASSINIBOIA PUBLIC NOTICE

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Town of Assiniboia intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 02/14, known as the Zoning Bylaw.

REASON: The reason for the amendments are to address front yard setbacks in a C1 district for Restaurants, Retail Activities, Construction trades and then amends the “Permitted Uses” chart to be more lenient in the rear yard set back. Also there were minimal regulations on outside storage in both the C1 and C2 districts and therefore wording has been included in the amendment.

Drivers have fun while competing in driving skills

The Southern Cruisers will be hosting an Auto Cross race on Saturday, May 21. “This will be a fun event, that will test the driving skills of our participants,” said Darrin Karst, who is organizing the event.

The Auto Cross race will be held at the Assiniboia Civic Centre parking lot. Registration is at noon, with the races starting at 1 p.m.

“Typically, an Auto Cross race is done on

parking lots, with the track outlined with pylons,” said Karst. One by one, cars race through the track, aiming for the best time. But they almost must display careful timing, as any pylon that is knocked over will result in a fivesecond penalty.

There is also a stop box at the end of the track, which the car must stop inside; otherwise the driver will also lose some time. The cars with the best time after the races will win first and second, respectively.

The cost to enter the Auto Cross is $30 per car. “There is a 100 per cent pay out, which will be made to the first and second place winners,” said Karst. Anyone who wants to regis -

ter for the Auto Cross Race should contact Karst.

There are also a few events planned by the Southern Cruisers during the summer. They will have their annual July 1 demolition derby and Tough Truck contest at the Assiniboia Fair Grounds.

Also, on August 5, 6 and 7, there will be a Rod Run and Car Show and Thomson Lake. This three-day event will feature a little poker derby, and the Show and Shine. Anyone who wants to enter into these two events should contact Heath Moore.

For more information on the Southern Cruisers group, residents can go online to: www.southerncruisers.com.

Growing interest for power engineering courses offered by Prairie South School Division

Nearly two years after their initial partnership, SaskPower and the Prairie South School Division have been successful with offering power-engineering courses to high school students. Now, other school divisions are signing onto the courses.

It was recently announced that the Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division will offer both Power Engineering 20L and Power Engineering 30L to their students, starting September 2016. Students will have the opportunity to write their Class 5 Power Engineering Exam from TSASK once they have successfully completed the 20L and 30L Power Engineering courses.

The power engineering courses offer the skills that students will need to pursue careers in power engineering earlier than ever before. “This is a unique approach to training more power engineers locally that will provide students with a career option that’s rewarding and close to home,” said SaskPower President and

CEO Robert Watson. Watson said SaskPower is facing a potential shortage of power engineers in coming years as many senior employees retire while the company builds and renews infrastructure to serve a growing customer base.

“Students in our smaller centres often believe that they have to go a long way from home to study a career,” said Barbara Compton, superintendent of operations for Prairie South School Division. “This new partnership brings exciting options to their doorstep, and puts students in a great position right out of high school.”

The courses involve 50 - 75 hours of theory and coursework. This will be delivered through three textbooks as well as online content through Prairie South School Division Virtual School.

The Auto Cross Race on May 21 is one of the evetns planned by Southern Cruisers this summer.
