Chief Evan Taypotat announced this week that Kahkewistahaw First Nation will begin constructing a new Gover-nance Center next March. Initial ren-derings of the two-story complex were also released. The Governance Center will be located on the reserve between the school and powwow grounds and it will take approximately 15 months to complete.

The purpose of the project is to pro-vide a safe, modern work environment for employees from all departments. Council identified the need for a new building during discussions with pro-gram managers two years ago. “Like any good First Nation, a band office is

the hub of the community,” Chief Tay-potat told the Herald Sun on Monday afternoon. “Right now, the way our community is situated, we have all of our different departments in different buildings so there’s no cohesion.” He believes that centralization will help the First Nation reach its goals of improved teamwork. In addition to offices, there are also plans to include a cafeteria, post office, daycare, museum and fitness centre in the building.

Over the past two years, leaders dil-igently worked though proposals and carefully arranged financing for the new building. Now engineering and other site work is done and they are working closely with the construction company to finalize plans and ensure that jobs are given to band members from Kahkew-istahaw and neighboring First Nations whenever possible.

The new building will cost $12-15 mil-lion and will be funded by a loan from the First Nations Finance Authority, a department of the First Nations Finan-cial Management Board. The non-profit organization requires clients to adhere to strict spending guidelines in order to receive certification and funding with low-interest rates for development proj-ects. Chief Taypotat said the current council endorses ethical and transpar-ent practices with yearly clean audits, so it is easy for them to comply with the necessary regulations.

Council is also committed to provid-ing good things for band members and is looking forward to providing a state of the art building for their people. “One of the things with First Nations people is that we’ve always gotten the least; we don’t have nice things. The government has always given us the bare minimum to get by, but under the current coun-cil I sit with, we said our people are no longer going to accept that,” the chief explained. He hopes that employees will enjoy coming to work at the new build-

ing and feel motivated to do their jobs well.

Constructing a new band office is just one way that Kahkewistahaw First Nation is striving to create stability for its people. They recently purchased a restaurant in the Qu’Appelle Valley and

are preparing to develop land in Sas-katoon. “Going forth, we want to make sure that our businesses that we develop generate revenue, and if they generate revenue into jobs, our First Nation is going to be really economically stable and sovereign,” stated Chief Taypotat.

The communities of Broadview and Whitewood are showing just how much they care for each other with two drives for donations in the month of Novem-ber.

Clothing and Toy DriveBroadview School SLC has invited

Broadview School families and com-munity members to bring clothing, toys and other gently used items to the school to donate to families in need.

“We know that many families do-nate their old clothing elsewhere and thought this would be an opportunity to provide families in our own community and surrounding communities with these resources,” the school’s media page stated.

The items can be dropped off at the school from Nov. 4th to Nov. 15th. There are collection boxes by the library near the front office.

On November 19th and 20th from 3:30 – 7:30, Broadview School families, as well as Broadview and surrounding area community members will be able to go to the school and take any goods that might benefit their families.

All items that are not picked up for use by people will be donated to local charities after Nov. 20th.

Community diaper driveThe Broadview RCMP Detachment is

inviting community members to partic-ipate in a program called Community diaper drive. They would like you to help them keep wet bottoms dry and help babies in the community.

During the month of November, do-

nations of new disposable diapers in any size can be dropped at Broadview School, Whitewood School, Broadview Town Office or the Broadview RCMP Detachment during regular business hours. Donations of diapers may also be taken to the Grenfell Health Centre beginning Nov. 12th.

The drive is in association with Par-enting Plus, a home visitation and fam-ily support program for parents with newborns in this Region of the Sas-katchewan Health Authority, including First Nations areas.

“We (Parenting Plus) have received donations of articles previously from RCMP member Brad O’Keefe’s family, so when they offered the suggestion of the diaper drive, we were more than pleased to work with the RCMP,” Larry Tittle from Parenting Plus at Grenfell told the Herald Sun. With diapers often being one of the most expensive needs, whether as disposables or for soaps to keep the non-disposables clean, Tittle agreed that diapers are often one of the more needed things when families are struggling.

“I’m also pleased to hear about the Broadview School clothing and toy drive and we will definitely promote their acceptance of diapers as well,” Tittle commented.

The Parenting Plus program was developed in response to evidence that suggests that parts of the Region have lower than provincial average levels of income and education, higher rates of use of social assistance, and increasing numbers of single parent families. As well, a growing body of research sup-ports the importance of the first years of life in development of high levels of health.

Parenting Plus is a program that strengthens services for families with very young children. By supporting the diaper drive, the RCMP are help-ing Parenting Plus in their goal of sys-tematically reaching out to all families in rural areas of the RQHR, offering community support based on their strengths and individual situations.

Parenting Plus works to promote positive parent-child relationships, promote healthy childhood growth and development and enhances family func-tioning by building trusting, nurturing relationships, teaching problem-solving skills, and improving the family’s sup-port systems.

Ribbon cuttingKnowledge Keeper Myrna Delorme (third from right) prepares to cut the ribbon at the Sacred Wolf Lodgewhile Chief Cadmus Delorme (fourth from right) and others wait expectantly on November 1. The ten-bed-room facility on Cowessess First Nation will be a transition home for teenage girls who are aging out ofthe foster care system.

SUBMITTED | HERALD SUN


Ten girls will soon move to a new home on Cowessess First Nation. After two years of plan-ning, the Sacred Wolf Lodge officially opened on November 1. Cowessess currently has more than 100 children in foster care throughout western Can-ada. Now, some of those children will be able to come home to their com-munity.

The Lodge was estab-lished through partner-ships with Yorkton Tribal Council Child and Fam-ily Services (YTCCFS). Cowessess provided the land near the Cowessess Education Building and basement construction began last May. YTCCFS purchased the RTM which was moved to the site in June and staff training

began shortly afterward.Part of the training in-

volved staff experiencing traditional ceremonies that girls at the home will participate in later. “There are certain mile-stones in womanhood that young girls reach that always were associ-ated with negativity and punishment in residen-tial schools. As a result, very few Indian women have gone through these traditional ceremonies or learned the teach-ings behind them, which play a very big role,” Program Director Cindy Sparvier explained in a press release last week. “We’re having the staff go through these ceremo-nies and teachings first so they’ll know exactly what it feels like to be in the circle and teach the girls with that firsthand knowledge that girls and

be a place of healing and preparation for the fu-ture. “We’ll be doing a lot of programming about re-connection,” Sparvier told the Herald Sun shortly after construction began last spring. “We’ll be looking at the reconnec-tion with their biological family or kinship and the community, and recon-nection to themselves be-cause living in foster care can be both a negative and a positive experience.”

Residents will also

be equipped to live inde-pendently through school attendance and practical training. There will be no cooks or housekeepers on staff but there will be others to teach and guide the girls. In an effort to revive the historically important role of older women in First Nations community life, one staff member will be a grand-mother, or kokum. She will be a role model, sup-porter and teacher for the young girls. Signifying

this valuable role, Knowl-edge Keeper Myrna Delo-rme cut the ribbon during the grand opening at the Lodge last Friday.

“Cowessess First Na-tion will now control our destiny and play a direct role in helping to heal our past,” stated Chief Cadmus Delorme. “Our children deserve a strong future and it is homes like this one which will allow Cowessess First Nation to help youth strengthentheir mental well-being.”

The home includes ten bedrooms, six bathrooms, and is wheelchair accessi-ble. It will provide a safe place for teenage girls who are aging out of the foster care system. It will

Amendments to The Tobacco Control Act were passed unanimously by the Legislative Assembly on Nov. 6 allowing the province to move quickly to ensure regulation of vaping and vaping prod-ucts is in line with exist-ing tobacco legislation.

“Quick passage of this legislation demonstrates how important it is to further protect our youth from vaping,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said. “I want to thank our part-ners and health stake-holders for their support for this legislation and look forward to consult-ing with them again on the regulations and how to best address flavoured vaping products.”

Over the next months, the Ministry of Health will proceed with the nec-essary supporting regula-tions to address both the restrictions on vaping and vaping products and

the enforcement. New signage prohibiting vap-ing will be made available for public buildings, retail locations and school prop-erties. It is anticipated that The Tobacco Control Act amendments and sup-porting regulations will be in force in early 2020.

Introduced on Nov. 5, the amendments in Bill 182 will:

• restrict the sale of va-pour/e-cigarette devices and products to individ-uals 18 years of age and older;

• prohibit the display of vapour/e-cigarette products in a retail busi-ness where young persons have access;

• restrict the use of vapour/e-cigarette prod-ucts in and around public buildings, includ-ing schools and school grounds, in the same manner as our provincial tobacco legislation;

• prohibit the sale of vapour/e-cigarette prod-ucts from specified facil-ities such as amusement parks, arcades, and the-atres where youth fre-quent; and

• restrict advertising of vapour/e-cigarette prod-ucts in the same manner as tobacco products by prohibiting advertising signs and promotional signs in areas where young persons can enter.

Past sacrifi ces offer a needed perspective

My fi rst thoughts for this editorial were to scold our country for the unrest and dissatisfaction that we are witnessing today within our borders, and unfor-tunately, outside our borders as well. Being Remem-brance Day on Monday, I could not help but think how disappointed our veterans would be, and must be, to see the countries they fought for, and with, in such disarray.

We all know the picture right now in Canada. Dis-satisfaction with our federal government by the west-ern provinces, talk of separation, unions and nations vying for more funding and the list of tribulations goes on. This is not a picture of a beautiful country that its citizens have always bragged about.

But my next thought was, how can one scold a country that is using its rights to be free and take part in being a democratic nation? Is this not what our veterans fought for? The right to free speech so our country can become the best that it can for its people.

We may be in turmoil right now, but the truth is that our country is one of the best in the world because of the sacrifi ces made by thousands of men and women who fought in the past wars to make and keep us a free and democratic nation.

These men and women, no matter what occupa-tion, color or race, stood together against the enemy

who would have forever changed our world. They fought through unbelievable turmoil and conditions to give each and every one of us the rights we have today.

Just think for a moment. Can you imagine your son or your husband, standing by the door, saying, “Bye. See you hopefully in three or four years.” And off they went – to sleep in ditches and tents, to slug through mud or snow, day after day, knowing what they had to do to their fellow man. Many returned, never to be the same and as we all know, many did not return but gave their lives for a greater cause.

Unfortunately, there are still wars happening in other nations and there are still countries living under deplorable and unimaginable circumstances because of unrest between countries or nations.

We are so lucky in Canada that we are living under the clear, blue skies, with our homes and our countrysides still producing the food we eat. We could be huddled in tents, waiting for someone to bring our hungry children food or sneaking across borders on foot with our only belongings on our back or even paying thousands of dollars to hide in semi trucks, hoping to cross a border into a country of peace.

This is why we must never forget. The sacrifi ces made in the past wars have given us what we have

today. The sacrifi ces are still happening today as the men

and women in our military still fi ght for freedom for us all by helping other nations in the world. There are still gallant men and women who are willing to defend our country and the rights of all people and there are men and women who are still returning home marred, both physically and mentally. And un-fortunately, yes, there are some that return home to be placed in their eternal resting place.

Would we see the same patriotism today if the country was called to war and we needed to enlist more men and women to head to the unknown – war? Let us all pray that we never have to fi nd out.

Remembrance Day is the day to honor all of our veterans, past and present. It should also be a day where we share the stories of war so they are never forgotten. Also, it should be a time where we think and share with others, and especially our young peo-ple, the importance of free speech and democracy, a picture of a life under dictatorship, and the many evils of war.

To appreciate today, we must remember yesterday and have our say in a better tomorrow.

Lest we forget. Thank you to our past and our present veterans.

Remembrance Day should honor but should also educate

By Murray MandrykPolitical Columnist

Monday, we commemorate the 101st armistice.

Such occasions seem to have less meaning to recent genera-tions, as we lose generations’ first-hand understanding of the meaning sacrifi ce and the meaning of country.

Now that first commemo-ration of armistice was more than a century ago, we risk it becoming a historic relic where we can’t relate to its true im-pact and meaning.

This is a bigger problem than most realize, as evident in the angry separation talk we now hearing from those who truly don’t understand our his-tory.

Those in the #wexit move-ment that hung a Canadian fl ag upside down the week before we commemorate the armistice certainly have a right to their opinion. Those of the greatest generation – and generations before – went to war to preserve such freedoms.

But maybe now is also a good time to refl ect not only on a time when a country came of age but also refl ect on what motived those who made it so great.

Certainly, no one went to war for fantastic fi nancial gain.

The sacrifice of many who served actually didn’t end with their military service.

Many returned to a tough life seeking out existence on the farm at a time when there was no federal government sub-sidies.

Heck, we didn’t even have equalization that has suddenly become one of the biggest po-litical grievance in today’s po-litical world. (Yet a decade ago we were being told equaliza-tion fairness was not an issue because we should instead be striving to be a permanent “have” province?)

Many WW2 veterans were not immediately dismissed from service and could not pur-sue acquisition of farmland. If you were a First Nations’ vet-eran, you never got the farm-land promised.

We just can’t compare the struggles, which is important when you are talking about breaking up a country, our grandfathers and great grandfa-thers fought for.

Of course, this is not to sug-gest that the West doesn’t have grievances today like the car-bon tax. We all live in the here and now and it’s legitimate to be angry when the natural gas you desperately needed to dry your grain at this time of year is hit with a further carbon tax.

Nor is there much doubt that

this federal government has often seemed oblivious to west-ern concerns and issues – ex-actly why voters out here voted against Liberals and members of other parties supporting the carbon tax.

But generations removed from that sacrifi ce – and per-haps the reality that govern-ments can’t always fi x all our economic struggles like the ones they saw during the wars and Great Depression – we do seem to have lost perspective.

As bad as the situation may now seem to be, are we to be-lieve the #wexit crowd that a

federal government that bought a pipeline and is now to court to get it built is out to destroy the Western oil economy as their rhetoric suggests?

Is it just possible that some of our struggles in oil and other commodities just might have something to do with world economic circumstances? And does anyone believe we could control these worldwide eco-nomic circumstances better by becoming a landlocked nation without a deep water port that would have to negotiate moving our oil through pipelines across what would then be foreign na-

tions?A lack rudimentary under-

standing of today’s geo-politics is also a problem, but the prob-lem begins with a lack of un-derstanding of our own historyand the sacrifi ce so many made to already make this countrygreat.

What would those who sac-rifi ced so much have to say to those who now want to break up our country over the demo-cratic results of an election?

As we commemorate the101st armistice, maybe this issomething else we need to con-template.


After three weeks in the valley, Frank Bell thought he had heard just about everything. My hometown was a lot to take in, even for someone like me who was born and raised there. Just imagine moving from a big city to our small town.

In the beginning, Frank got most of his information from my group of friends, as we found our way to his bar-ber shop just about every day after school. His only real adult friend so far was Rev. Sarah Hyden-Smith, who dropped by to invite Frank to visit the Anglican church. That invitation led to a “scandalous rendezvous,” according to Maxine Miller’s “Rumor Has It” column, over lunch at the Hoffbrau.

Things were starting to pick up after three weeks in business. Several of the valley’s good folks had dropped by for cuts and, as is often the case, to discuss the news of the day.

Though Raymond Cooper hadn’t been to the shop yet, Frank was already familiar with his antics. Stories of Ray-mond’s near victory in the recent mayoral election, his mi-raculous conversion during the 8:30 morning service at the Lutheran church, and the pig stampede at the county fair made Cooper seem larger than life to our town’s newest citizen.

On Thursday, Erby Bailey laughed out loud as he told a series of Raymond Cooper stories.

“You know,” Bailey whispered, as if sharing a secret,

“Of course,” Frank answered, trying to look as solemn as possible while attempting to hold in his laughter.

did, however, get a kickback from the province for writing citations, making arrests and serving court summons. The state-based fee for each service at that time was $1 per citation, $10 per arrest and $5 for each summons.

“I’ve never cited anyone for not wearing their seat belt,” he said, obviously interested in more serious offenses. “And you can ask anybody, I rarely give a speeding ticket unless the driver is going 10 miles over the limit.”

“But it was like this,” the good constable continued, “I was on Highway 11 a couple of weeks ago and noticed this car driving a good 15 miles over the limit. I didn’t notice at

driver’s seat.”“Did you give him a ticket?” Frank asked, trying to act

as if he was really interested in the story.“I’m getting to that part,” Bailey answered, obviously

enamored with his own story. He continued, “I said, ‘Ray-mond, where are you going in such a hurry?’”

That’s when the constable explained how he noticed

Erby saw someone in the passenger’s seat. He couldn’t make out who it was in the dark, and he wasn’t about to

big story for his newspaper,” Bailey continued. “He said he needed to get back to the paper to write the story in time for the next issue, so I apologized for the delay and told him to be careful, since he was so tired.”

tial information.Then Erby held his left hand in the air, as if telling

Frank to stop what he was doing for a moment. “The funny thing is,” Bailey spoke carefully, “there weren’t any stories

“That is peculiar,” Frank answered.Just then the bell above the door jingled, putting a stop

to any talk of Raymond Cooper.“Well, hello, Pastor!” Erby shouted as Brother Billy Joe

Prather entered the shop.After a quick introduction, Billy Joe got right to the

point.“I wanted to welcome you to the valley,” he said gleefully

to Frank. “I assume you’ll make a visit to First Baptist Church. It’s the valley’s largest congregation, you know.”

The pastor continued, “And I’m sure you’ll want to at-tend our annual men’s breakfast and turkey shoot next month.”

“A turkey shoot?” asked Frank.

“Yes, the biggest in the county,” Billy Joe answered proudly.

“I guess I haven’t heard everything after all,” Frank thought to himself.

The new Facility Operations Man-ager at Whitewood, Ryan Dale, comes with a fitness oriented background and while really enjoys being active himself, he also hopes to inspire the community to enjoy sports as well.

Dale comes from Niagra Falls, ON and is 24 years of age.

“I moved here by myself to spread my wings and help make positive change,” Dale shared with the Herald Sun during an interview.

He is a graduate of Niagra College recreation and leisure program and sports are his passion. He specializes in pro-gram design and instruction. His last two years of employ-ment were at Signature retirement.

When the Herald Sun inquired what brought him from Ontario to White-wood, Dale replied “Change, and to follow my dream job. I want to be in a position that can uplift a community and its members to be the best possible community it can be.”

Dale began his position at a very busy time of the year in the community as the Whitewood Community Centre is starting the busy season of hockey and curling. He has only been here for two weeks but stated, “I have a great team around me – the town staff and recre-ation staff. Having the guidance from these people has been great for me start-

ing in a new position.” “The people here are great;

the way everyone here pitches in and helps out is incredible. The countless volunteers and donations I see people helping others out with just leaves me very satisfied. The people here inspire me,” Dale relayed.

Dale also commented that he wants to become a positive part of the community for a long time.

“I want to help out any way I can, inside the job and outside of it. I am here to serve and be a part of this wonderful, welcoming community.”

The schedule for Dale may be pretty full at this time but he was quick to add that he welcomes anyone to stop in and say hello as he becomes acquainted with the community.

Whitewood School hosted a senior girl’s vol-leyball conference tour-

nament on Nov. 2 where the Whitewood team placed third in their pool at the conference.

Advancing to the semi-finals were Rocanville

versus Lampman and Redvers versus Arcola. Rocanville and Arcola both won their sets and advanced to the finals with Rocanville finishing first and Arcola second. Both teams advance to Regionals this weekend.

While the Whitewood team didn’t place where they would have liked to in the conference tourna-ment, the coach is happy with how the girls per-formed in every one of their matches.

“They played against

some very strong teams and fought a hard battle. They never gave up and played their best until the very end,” said team coach Danielle Brûlé.

The tournament ended the girls’ volleyball sea-son but the team had a great year with many accomplishments. Those included first place at their home tournament, second place at the In-dian Head tournament, second place in tier 2 at the Moosomin tourna-ment and the team went undefeated at the Lan-genburg mini exhibition tournament.

A picture of what is wanted in education in the future has been released in a report enti-tled Education Re-Imagined: 12 Actions for Education.

“It has been more than 30 years since there was a com-prehensive review of public ed-ucation with significant public input“, said Randy Schmaltz, Chair, Re-Imagine Educa-tion Reference Committee, a committee organized by the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Fed-eration.

Some people attended meet-ings while others submitted questionnaires and the results of these efforts, asking people to share their vision for the future of education in Saskatchewan, have now been documented in this report.

The outcome of the engage-ment with thousands of Sas-katchewanians was clear: it is time for a refresh or reset of our public education system. Most notably, the Re-Imagine Education committee heard that education matters.

Six thousand people com-pleted the survey alone. Con-sultations were held in 204 schools, in 69 different commu-nities and with seven groups of students. Community mem-bers came together in schools, libraries, arenas, at organiza-tional events such as AGMs to share their vision for the future of Saskatchewan’s pub-lic education system. Students, teachers, parents, Indigenous communities and leaders, the business community and those disengaged from the education

system shared their vision.The report states Saskatche-

wan public envision education as an all-important process valuing people and positive re-lationships.

The public identified six pri-orities about the main purpose of education:

• Learning to read and ex-press ourselves well

• Learning to problem-solve• Learning how to work with

numbers• Learning things useful in

the world of work or entrepre-neurship

• Learning values• Learning how to be good

citizens.The report shows that educa-

tion is two-fold. • People value the develop-

ment of skills in a number of subject areas, including read-ing, writing and math.

• Education has an import-ant role in developing socially aware critical thinkers and life-long learners who are compas-sionate and respectful and who appreciate diversity.

Report RecommendationsThe report makes 12 recom-

mendations in four categories: the learning environment, de-cision making, legislation and policy and funding. The final recommendation is that all the Actions for Education be acted upon and highlights a key out-come of the engagement – that the community at large has a role to play and must also take ownership of the future of our education system.

The Learning EnvironmentRecommendation 1. Learn-

ing spaces must be resourced so that teachers can create a safe and effective learning en-vironment for the diversity of student learning.

Recommendation 2. Human resources must be provided to support inclusion and create classrooms where every child can learn. This means provid-ing educational assistances, Elders, speech-language pathol-ogists, educational psycholo-gists, counselors, librarians, English as additional language teachers and others to support classroom learning.

Recommendation 3. Move beyond test scores. Establish structures and processes to cultivate a sense of shared ac-countability among govern-ment, teachers, parents and community members for stu-dent success at all stages of their educational experience.

An overwhelming theme was the idea that the learning environment is different today

than it was in the past. Shifting societal realities

and expectations see schools taking increasing roles in stu-dents’ lives that may have pre-viously resided with families or other groups.

The data reflected a need to ensure classrooms and schools are a safe and nurturing envi-ronment for all students.

A re-imagined learning envi-ronment showed:

• Focus on students’ gifts• Respectful• Variety of course options• Access to professional sup-

ports• Strong standards• Uses current technology• Access to community re-

sources• Flexible learning spaces• Access to diverse range of

activities• Honor and support for di-

versity.

Decision Making in EducationRecommendation 4. Re-

structure authority and agency to the local school community to ensure local voice at the school community level.

Recommendation 5. School facilities serve as the hub and gathering place of the local community, providing space for community programming.

Recommendation 6. To ensure ongoing and sustained input into all aspects of edu-cation in Saskatchewan, es-tablish Provincial Council on Education that is free of poli-tics to ensure that education programs, services and policies are aligned with research and best practices.

Participants were clear that education is a shared responsi-bility. Communities can pro-vide learning opportunities for students outside of classrooms and community members over-whelmingly shared a desire to support their children and youth. They recognized that schools should be open spaces for the community without fur-ther extending expectations on teachers or the school.

Legislation and Policy in EducationRecommendation 7. The

school program, including cur-riculum development, must be updated continually, utilizing teachers’ professional knowl-edge in all phases and provid-ing opportunities for input from parents, students and community members.

Recommendation 8. The Ministry of Education must provide a full range of re-sources and materials as well as teacher-led professional development opportunities to

support curriculum implemen-tation for classroom teachers.

Recommendation 9. School division policies must be de-veloped in collaboration with school staff, parents and stu-dents so that the outcomes meet the needs of the community.

Legislation is laid out with rules and expectations and curriculum documents that teachers are required to teach and report on how students are meeting the outcomes stated. The participants said that ed-ucation should set high stan-dards and that consistency is important. They also said flex-ibility and adaptation is nec-essary to create an education system that responds to the needs of every community and for every student.

We must be willing to re-think even the basic structures such as traditional classrooms, age-alike groupings, five-day school weeks and 50-minute classes.

Following the report’s re-lease, Education Minister Gordon Wyant said he’s more concerned about the needs of the kids in the class, than ab-solute numbers. “I think the conversation, while we want to talk about class size, really needs to centre around the composition of classrooms and addressing the needs of chil-dren in the classrooms, many of whom have significant com-plex needs that we hadn’t seen historically,” he said in a news release.

Input and transparency was another theme that emerged. There is a diversity of opinions, such as:

• Failing students• Late assignments• Report cards, and• Math curriculumCurriculum received a lot

of attention with comments suggesting curriculum needs to be relevant to students and that it is not keeping pace with broader societal changes.

“I believe, and have believed for a while, that education needs a complete overhaul. It should look less like rows and columns, and more like a cre-ative space for young people to develop ideas, challenge them-selves, and gain knowledge that is interlinked across the core subjects, ” was a quote from School Engagement in the re-port.

Education FundingRecommendation 10. Con-

duct a comprehensive study to determine the real costs of a quality education system fit for the 21st century and commit a long-term funding mechanism

to ensure students receive qual-ity education.

Recommendation 11. Any funding model must be de-signed to provide the resources to support the varied needs of students, including behavioral issues, learning needs, cultural diversity and mental health.

Participants felt that the current methods and levels of funding are not enough to meet the needs of students today. People envision education as an investment and by investing in education, funding is saved in other areas such as health, justice and social services.

Without question, funding decisions should not be politi-cal but rather be driven by the needs of students.

As a province, we need to shift the conversation from what does education cost, to what investments are required for each child to receive the education that they receive. A funding model, based upon grassroots analysis of the real costs, could ensure long-term, sustainable and depoliticized funding in education in Sas-katchewan.

What We Have LearnedRecommendation 12. The

Actions for Education outlined in this report must be acted upon. We are all accountable. Government policy-makers and traditional leaders, parents, community groups and the public share the responsibility of ensuring that conversations about the future of education continue and that decision makers are held accountable.

We have learned:• People in the province care

deeply about education• People genuinely trust

and believe in their schools and have high expectations for teachers and for students.

• That the system is not bro-ken but that we need to be bold in making decisions now to en-sure a successful future for our province and for our children.

The Reference Committee is calling on Government and community partners to commit to implementing the recommen-dations. “These actions are the voice of the public, and the pub-lic is calling for action today in order to create the public education system Saskatche-wan needs and deserves,” said Schmaltz, Chair of Re-imagine Education Reference Commit-tee.

The Education Minister, Gordon Wyant, said the gov-ernment wants to start imple-menting changes based on the committee’s recommendations by as early as fall 2020.

Dry skin – Acne – Eczema – Psoriasis – Rosacea — these are many of the common skin concerns my patients come to see me about and with the cold, dry, winter weather these issues tend to get much worse. Often my patients have tried hundreds of dollars worth of topical creams and “miracle cures” only to be left with the same problems. So, what are some alternatives? Looking for the root cause is the answer. The skin is a mirror of what is going on inside the body. It is directly linkedto the diet and digestion as well asanti-biotic use, hormones and stress. Food sensitivities are a very common trigger for skin issues due to their impact on overall digestion. Even if someone does not have digestive pain, they can still have food intolerances. Dairy, wheat and sugar are the biggest offenders. Eliminating ONE or ALL of these foods for a minimum of 6 weeks will help determine if they are reacting to these foods. A history of antibiotic use can also lead to skin issues, and ironically antibiotics are given to treat acne. This is a short-term solution that can actually cause more problems in the long run. Taking a good probiotic, one that needs to be kept in the fridge, will help replenish the good bacteria that the body needs for a healthy immune

system, digestive system and skin. Hormones imbalances, in both men and women, can also trigger skin problems. Increasing good omega 3’s fatty oils (fl ax oil, olive oil, salmon and other cold water fi sh as well as supplementing with Omega 3 capsules) will work to balance hormones and reduce the infl ammation that leads to skin problems. And fi nally, stress. In a perfect world we’d all live blissfully unaware of any day to day stressors, but as this is not possible, working to reduce stress levels is key to healthy skin and overall wellness. Meditation/prayer, moderate exercise

and good sleep go a long way to help reduce our perception of stress. Vitamin C is an inexpensive and very important Vitamin to help reduce stress AND heal the skin. My favorite is Ascorbate SAP as it is well tolerated and very effective. The issues with our skin are not ‘just skin deep’ and sometimes it takes a little while to fi gure out the root cause, but once this is known, it is so much easier to manage and to LOVE THE SKIN YOU’RE IN. I hope that this has been helpful. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or 306-224-0012.

Protective Service AwardNeudorf Deputy Chief Dan Baber is presented with the Protective ServicesAward by Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty at a ceremony in Regina on Oct. 29.

SUBMITTED | HERALD SUN

By Chris AshfieldGrasslands News

Neudorf volunteer fire-fighter Dan Baber is one of this year’s recipients of the Saskatchewan Protec-tive Services Medal. Lieu-tenant Governor Russ Mirasty and Provincial Secretary Todd Goudy presented the award at a ceremony in Regina on Oct. 29. Three medal cer-emonies were also held in Saskatoon earlier this month.

Established in 2003, the medal honours personnel with 25 years of service in Saskatchewan in the emergency services field, including police services, fire services, emergency medical services, federal and provincial correc-tions and the Canadian forces. This year, the medal was being pre-sented to 153 individuals from rural and urban communities across Sas-katchewan.

“Protective services are an essential role in keeping our communities safe,” Goudy said. “With-out the men and women who sacrifice their wel-fare, many of us would not be here today. This medal is a way for us to acknowledge their work and thank them for the selfless contributions to our society.”

Barber has been with the Neudorf Volunteer Fire Department for 34 years, during which time he has held the positions of secretary, treasurer, captain and for the past 13 years has been deputy chief. Along with being a firefighter, his resume includes being a lifetime farmer where he contin-ues to farm the original Baber homestead, while also being a dedicated Crop Insurance employee of over 25 years. Passion-ate about giving back to his community and keeping his community healthy and active, he has served as the secretary of the Winter Sports Board since 1998, has coached minor hockey, softball, and curling locally, and was the caretaker for the Neudorf curling rink for several years.

“Dan has played an integral role on the Neu-dorf Volunteer Fire. Due to the vast experience he has gained over the last 34 years, others on the department turn to him for his wealth of knowl-edge on their equipment, hoses, vehicles, proce-dures, and the history of the fire department. New, and experienced volun-teer firefighters look up to Dan with great respect and admiration for all that he has and continues to offer the community,”

While it would be easy to dwell on the loss, Dan was able to lift the spirits of his team through his simple words, something he always does.

Along with helping keep up moral, Dan is also committed to the care and safety of his commu-nity paired with his will-ingness to mentor dozens of younger fellow volun-teer firefighters over the years. Described as one of a kind, the Neudorf Fire Department stated they are truly blessed to have him a part of, and protect-ing their community. His community members say that Neudorf is a better place because of Dan, and they cannot thank him enough for his selfless-ness.

Recipients of the Sas-katchewan Protective Services Medal receive a circular medal sur-mounted by the St. Ed-ward’s Crown. The medal bears the motto Qui civi-tatem tuentur (who guard the citizenry).

his nominator wrote.Dan’s fellow volunteer

firefighters agree that he is an excellent role model and say he has an uncanny ability to lift everybody’s spirits up — especially after difficult

calls. Speaking about a recent emergency call at a local establishment that was near and dear to everyone’s heart that was a total loss despite everyone’s best efforts, it was said Dan could sense everyone’s devastation. He was quick to send out a group text to the entire department congratulat-ing everyone on their hard work, quick think-ing and professionalism.

More than one hundred graves in the Grenfell Cem-etery were marked with flags and poppies this week, in honor of local veterans who have served this coun-try. “We moved here from Flin Flon, Manitoba, where the Legion is very active, and one of the many things they do each year is to place flags on veteran’s graves for Remembrance Day,” Legion member Don Kirkham explained when he started the initiative in Grenfell last year. Through Kirkham’s research, in cooperation with family members and other people from the area, the Grenfell Legion branch has identified one hundred and twelve veteran graves in the cemetery.

Although many soldiers safely returned home after serving at the front, there were other young men who did not. Kenneth Bartlam was only 19 years old when he died from wounds during the battle at Dieppe; as was Donald MacDonald when he was killed just a month before World War I ended. Placing markers on these and other graves in Grenfell for the week sur-rounding Remembrance Day, creates a poignant visual testimony to the impact of war on a small community and pays tribute to the individuals who sacrificed to preserve freedom.

Broadview and dis-trict, from ‘day one’ have been noted for service to the country and answer-ing the call to duty. Men from the CPR divisional point volunteered to fight during the 1885 Rebellion. They were a sub-unit of the 16th Light Horse when it was the pride of the main line. During World War I they served with the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles and the 217th Infantry Battalion.

Between the two world wars, they were a com-pany of the 1st Battalion, The Assiniboia Regiment, then a battery (110th)

of the 22nd (Assiniboia) Field Brigade, Royal Ca-nadian Artillery. Follow-ing World War II they were reservists with the 22nd Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillary.

Following World War II, the 15th Field Regi-ment RCA published a history, and they por-trayed the 110th Battery from Broadview. It was May 19, 1941 when the 110th Field Battery was placed on active ser-vice. Commander Major Don McNeil MC and 2nd Lieutenant Sinclair went to Regina to receive the mobilization order. Head-

quarters of the battery was in the Broadview Armouries, the building having been acquired from the Sons of England in 1939.

Many men were en-listed for active service with other batteries so the militia battery was well under strength when ordered to mobilize. Only 30 men mobilized with the battery. A recruiting cam-paign was quickly orga-nized with 2nd Lieutenant Sinclair travelling from town to town, farm to farm, seeking volunteers. Posters were printed and widely distributed. As a result, men enlisted from not only Broadview but from Whitewood, York-ton, Esterhazy and Wyn-yard as well as numerous smaller communities. When recruiting closed, some 30 sets of brothers and a large number of Indigenous people were on strength. The bat-tery was then about 100 over-strength, so some surplus personnel were dispatched to the Regina unit.

The regiment was or-dered to concentrate at Debert, N.S. When the movement order arrived for the 110th, camp was struck immediately and stores packed; men were paid and told to report to the station at 0700 hours the following morning. When the roll was called, not a man was absent. The entire town and most of the Reserve turned out to see them off by train. The train pulled into Union Station in Winnipeg, where during the hour halt, men were allowed off the train to greet the tremendous crowd that had turned

out to see them off.The 110th Battery

sailed for overseas on Aug. 9, 1942 on the Cam-eronia, disembarking Aug. 19 at Glasgow, Scotland. 110th Bat-tery crossed the English Channel, landing in Nor-mandy July 26, 1944, par-ticipating in the vicious fighting from Caen and the closing of the Falaise Gap, where the German 7th Army was destroyed. Captain C.H. Clerkson, a native of Broadview, won the Military Cross for his part in the ferocious bat-tle. The unit continued in action through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Following ces-sation of hostilities, 110th Battery was authorized to disband Dec. 7, 1945.

LEST WE FORGET

This year Canada is observing the 75th anniversary of the Second World War’s Italian Campaign. It was one of our country’s most important contributions to the Allied war effort; more than 93,000 Canadians served in Italy from the summer of 1943 to early 1945. Our soldiers fought their way across the island of Sic-ily and up the boot of Italy across a challenging land-scape of mountains and river valleys in the face of harsh weather conditions and a skilled enemy.

This special commemorative poster features Lieu-tenant Maxine Llewelyn Bredt. She was a Nursing Sis-ter in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps who helped treat the sick and wounded during the Italian Campaign. A recent picture of Ms. Bredt in her former uniform is superimposed on an historical photo show-ing soldiers of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry in the Sicilian town of Agira after capturing it in July 1943.

Canada remembers the Italian Campaign

Men and women in great numbers volun-teered for service from this region and from this vast number of vol-unteers, three awards of the Victoria Cross were made to local soldiers in two wars.

The Victoria Cross is the highest recogni-tion of Military Valour in the British Common-wealth. The decoration was founded in 1856 by Queen Victoria who was inspired by the bravery of returning veterans in the Crimean War. It takes precedence over all other decorations. In 1995, the 50th anniversary of the

end of World War II, the government of Saskatch-ewan recognized these valiant soldiers by erect-ing historic markers at the sites of their homes, farms or businesses.

John Robert Osborn- Wapella

On December 19, 1941, in the city of Hong Kong, Sergeant-Major John Robert Osborn was in command of a company of Winnipeg Grenadiers that had captured and held a strategically im-portant position for three hours. Forced to retreat under heavy fire, Osborn single-handedly covered

his troops until they joined the company, and assisted stragglers to the new position. During the afternoon, Osborn’s com-pany was completely cut off and surrounded. He sacrificed his own life by throwing himself on a live grenade to save the lives of his comrades. He was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross at the end of World War II.

John Osborn was born in Norfolk, England in 1899. As a young man he joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and fought during World War I. Following the war, he immigrated to Canada and farmed in the Wa-pella area for two years. He then moved to Man-itoba, working on the railway and later farmed. It was in the 1930s Os-born joined the Winni-peg Grenadiers militia unit and went on active service Sept. 3, 1939. A plaque for Osborn has been erected north north-east of Wapella.

Robert Grierson Combe - Melville

Although the Battle of Vimy Ridge is considered to have ended in mid-April of 1917, fighting carried on at the edges of the ridge for weeks af-terwards. On May 3, 1917, Lieutenant Robert Grier-son Combe was leading a small force of the right side of the Canadian

line, near the town of Archeville, France, about four kilometers from Vimy village.

The artillery fire from the enemy was fierce and soon the entire Canadian line began to stagger as men sought shelter from the barrage. They gath-ered their strength and continued the advance, only to be bombarded by their own artillery. The Canadian line halted, all except for Combe, who gathered a handful of sur-vivors from his company and attacked an enemy position. He was con-stantly in the lead in re-peated charges. As he was leading the final charge to capture the entire em-

placement, Combe was fa-tally wounded. The site of his grave is unknown.

Robert Combe was born in Aberdeen, Scot-land in 1880, and was trained as a pharmacist. About 1906 he came to Canada and was a Moo-somin resident for two year. He moved to Mel-ville to open his own drug store, later opening one in Dubuc with a part-ner. He volunteered in 1914 and became a Major. He had his rank reduced to Lieutenant so that he could fight in France.

His plaque is located at 217 Main Street, Melville.

George Harry Mullin – Moosomin

On October 30, 1917, in Passchendal, Belgium, Sergeant Harry Mullin single-handedly captured a pill-box position by rushing the sniper’s post in front. Quickly follow-ing this attack he ran to the other entrance of the fortification and forced the garrison of ten to surrender. During much of this action he was being fired at by opposing troops, and his clothes were riddled with bullets.

It was not until January1918 that Sergeant Mul-lin was informed he hadbeen awarded the Victo-ria Cross.

Harry Mullin was bornin Portland, Oregon in1892. When he was about two years old, his family moved to their homestead near Moosomin where Harry spent much of the rest of his life.

Mullin enlisted in 1914 for military serviceand in early 1917 he was awarded the Military Medal for the rescue ofa wounded comrade on the Vimy front whom he carried to safety throughheavy gunfire.

Following the war, Mullin returned to farm-ing northeast of Moo-somin. He remained with the military and in 1934he was appointed Ser-geant-at-Arms for the Sas-katchewan Legislature. In 1940 he volunteeredfor service in the Veter-ans’ Guard and in 1947 he returned to his duties as Sergeant-at-Arms. Helived in Regina until hisdeath in 1963.

“You’re at home here”


They are a familiar landmark in many towns and will be the site of sol-emn ceremonies next Monday morning. Cenotaphs were erected in numerous communities following World War I, and Grenfell was no exception.

According to an issue of the Grenfell Sun from August 12, 1926, the war memo-rial in Grenfell was officially dedicated on Sunday, August 8. The article notes that the date was appropriate, marking the anniversary of the Canadian and Al-lied soldiers’ successful surprise attack on the German front in Amiens, France.

In addition to the news report, a copy of the program from the ceremony, cour-tesy of the Grenfell Museum, indicates that several notable people participated in the service. Captain Meek, allegedly one of the oldest veterans in Western Canada at that time, led an honor guard that Brigadier-General Daniel M. Or-mond inspected. Later, William J. Pat-terson unveiled the monument and also presented an address. Patterson had been born in Grenfell and was then an MLA; he went on to become the first Sas-katchewan-born Premier of the province in 1935. Christopher J. Rosborough, then mayor of Grenfell, gave a brief speech. Rev. W.P. Adam read Ecclesiastes 44 and Rev. H.H. Creal formally dedicated the cenotaph.

The Grenfell Sun article notes that Rosborough was chairman of the com-mittee that arranged for the monument while F.G. Miller Hunter served as the secretary and cheerfully provided advice for the project. Hunter and Rosborough were both members of the Grenfell Le-gion branch and, like others participat-ing in the ceremony in 1926, had served in World War I.

The monument was made from a twelve-ton piece of granite, polished and engraved in Aberdeen, Scotland before being shipped to Canada. An inscription

on the front reads, “Sacred to the mem-ory of these men of the Grenfell District to whose supreme sacrifice this memo-rial is dedicated.” It originally honoured forty-five men from Grenfell who died during the Great War. Twenty more names were added to the opposite side of the large stone following the Second World War.

The cenotaph is situated in the mid-dle of a park with benches for visitors to sit quietly and contemplate the high price paid for our freedom. N. Ross, who worked at the Indian Head Experimen-tal Farm, and Dusty Rhodes are credited with designing and planting the pretty flower garden shortly after the ceno-taph was dedicated. Rhodes was a steel worker who moved to the Grenfell area in the mid-1920s and may have also been responsible for maintaining the flower gardens at the CPR Station in town. He passed away in 1948 but was the mater-nal grandfather to Allan Carr, who still resides in Grenfell. In addition to his skill as a landscaper, some senior resi-dents remember Rhodes for his musical talent since he was the pianist for some of the silent films and operettas per-formed at the Windsor Theatre.

The Grenfell war memorial stood alone on Front Street until 2017, when members of the local Legion branch undertook the project of relocating a smaller cenotaph from Baring District to the park. The Baring Cenotaph was in danger of getting lost among the fields since the population of that area has declined. Grenfell was a logical new lo-cation for the monument because many of the men from Baring who fought in World War I enlisted in Grenfell.

As time passes, many details about the individuals who served in World War I and World War II have been for-gotten. But as the solid stone stands in the park, future generations can read the names engraved on the cenotaph and re-member that men cared enough to fight for their freedom.

The Grenfell cenotaph has honoured local veterans since 1926.

Ernest “Smokey” Smith was born on 3 May 1914 in New West-minster, British Colum-bia. He enlisted with the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada in March 1940 and began basic training with the Royal Canadian Regiment in Toronto. He went on to complete his training at Camp Borden before sailing out of Hal-ifax to join the war effort in Europe.

In July 1943, Smith was part of the first successful Allied am-phibious landing in the Second World War. Ca-nadian soldiers came ashore near Pachino, Sicily, during the inva-sion of the Mediterra-nean island which took place less than a year after the failed Dieppe Raid of August 1942. “I thought for a while there when they were going in for that landing they were never gonna’ make it, because it was Ernest “Smokey” Smith was the only Canadian private to earn the Victoria

Cross during World War II.

Canadian soldier only private to earn Victoria Cross in WW2

Single handedly fought off German tanks

and soldiers during the Italian Campaign

so rough, that water was just crazy,” explained Smith when asked about it in his Heroes Remem-ber interview, “as soon as we hit the shore we … as soon as everybody got there we just took off right straight ahead.” In the months that followed, as the Canadians pushed their way from the south to the north of Italy, the fighting was particularly bitter.

Once the Canadians arrived in the town of Ortona in mainland Italy, its steep, rubble filled streets limited the use of tanks and artillery. During several days of brutal street fighting in December 1943, the Cana-dians smashed their way through walls and build-ings—”mouse-holing” as they called it. “It was a terrible place. You know it, it was practically door to door,” explained Smith in an interview. “For miles, they had ev-erything close together … so we’d blow holes through the wall so we go through that way. Cause if you walk out into the street they’d get ya’.”

On the night of 21-22 October 1944, Smith’s unit attempted to estab-lish a bridgehead across the Savio River in north-ern Italy but was count-er-attacked by three Mark V Panther tanks

and about 30 German in-fantry soldiers. “Our ob-jective was to cross the river and that’s what we did. We got in there and we weren’t there too long before we were attacked by tanks,” recalled Smith. With an infantry anti tank weapon, he put one Panther tank out of action and drove back the enemy infantry. “In the end there was just Jimmy and I, and then he got wounded so that left only me. So, I had to stay out there by myself while everybody else was in the church.” As the attack continued, Smith held his position until the enemy withdrew. “They must have figured there was a whole army there because they could have wiped me out in no time if they’d known I was practically all by my-self.” Smith was awarded the Victoria Cross for his brave actions.

After the war, Smith became actively involved in his community. He volunteered his time to commemorative activ-ities and events on the local, national and in-ternational scales. Smith was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 1995. At the time of his death on 3 August 2005, Smith was the last sur-viving Canadian recipi-ent of the Victoria Cross.

The first militia unit actually to have its home on the mainline was the 16th Light Horse. During 1914, the 10th Canadian Mounted Rifles were mobilized and remained here all winter.

Recruiting continued in the winter of 1915-16, and, each point where 25 or more men enlisted had a detachment with the men being billeted in local homes. Towns included Indian Head, Wolseley, Grenfell, Broad-view, Whitewood, Wa-pella and Moosomin had detachments.

Feb. 21, 1916, the 217th Battalion was formed with headquarters in Moosomin and Lt. Col. A.B. Gillis of Whitewood was in command. Capt. D.A. Campbell of White-wood was paymaster.

The 217th Battalion left for overseas April 1917. They were delayed from sailing until May 27th due to over 100 cases of mumps. The liner Olym-pic docked at Liverpool on June 10 and the battal-ion moved to Bramshott Camp before being bro-ken up a few days later and most men went to the 46th Battalion.

Obituary It is with extreme sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Marie Rathgeber an-nounces her passing on Thurs-day, Oct. 24, 2019. She was 96 years young. Marie was born in Melville on May 31, 1923, to Bill and Anne Pilot. She was the oldest of three girls (sisters Olga and Natalie). The family lived on a farm outside of Melville and, although they didn’t have a lot, they were a happy, close-knit family. Marie completed her Grade 12 and, even though funds were low, her father wanted her to have an education and made it possible for her to go to Teacher’s College. In

position at Beresina School, where she taught 42 pupils from Grades 1 to 10. She was only 19 years old in a strange place away from her home and family and now was teaching chil-dren, some close to her own age. She would send half of her cheque home every month to help her family and would always bring gifts of clothing or fruit for her sisters when she got to come home for a holiday. In her 25 years of teaching at numerous schools, she made many friends and loved meeting up with previ-ous teachers and students and hearing about their lives and accomplishments. On Nov. 14, 1947, Marie married Carl Rath-geber, son of John and Louise Rathgeber. So now her family of two sisters grew to a family of ten girls. That’s right, Carl was the only boy with seven sisters. During their marriage, Carl and Marie enjoyed a house full of family and friends, lots of dancing, playing cards and trav-elling, and nobody ever left her home hungry. She was a wonderful hostess and an awesome cook. Her cabbage rolls will be so missed. Ma-rie loved reading, doing crossword puzzles, knitting, crocheting, bingo and the casino in her spare time. Carl and Marie had one daughter, Sandra, who they cherished and tried to give every-thing to. Sandra has two daughters, Tamara and Shona, who were the world to Carl and Marie. Both Carl and Marie were retired at this time so while Sandra worked, they would look after the girls after school, and Marie would al-ways make sure there was a snack of cinna-mon buns, cake or cookies – always something wonderful to eat at Grandma’s! Marie’s granddaughter Shona married Jes-se Rhinas (our rock when Carl died), and they are blessed with three handsome, beautiful

boys who Marie just couldn’t see enough of. They became her world, and hockey (some-thing she knew nothing about) became her sport. Then Ta-mara married Dwayne Lakus-ta (another amazing man and father), and they are blessed with a daughter, Kamryn, whose dancing and swimming is making history. Marie now had four great-grandchildren and couldn’t have been hap-pier hearing about and watch-ing all of their achievements. They were her pride and joy, and she couldn’t wait to hear

from them and anything about them, for they had more talent and skill than she could ever believe possible! She was so very proud of her family. Marie so looked forward to when she would get to go to Moose Jaw or Fort Sas-katchewan (which was a long trip, but so worth it); these were her highlights until she couldn’t do it anymore. She became a resident of St. Paul Lutheran Home on July 19, 2019, where she resided until her eternal rest on Oct. 24, 2019. Marie was predeceased by her parents, husband Carl, sister Olga, six sisters-in-law and nine brothers-in-law. She leaves to cher-ish her memory: her daughter, Sandra; grand-daughter Tamara (Dwayne), great-grand-daughter Kamryn; granddaughter Shona (Jesse), great-grandsons Brady, Zachren and Nathan; sister Natalie and family; sister-in-law Betty and family; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. God be with you, Marie. Your family will always miss you and love you. God-speed. Marie’s funeral service was held Friday, Nov. 1, 2019, at Matthews Funeral Home, Mel-

Organist Gaylene Matthews led the congrega-tion in the singing of the hymns, “The Lord’s My Shepherd”, “Nearer My God to Thee” and “How Great Thou Art”. Marie’s great-grandchild Zachren Rhinas honoured her by singing his rendition of “Dancing in the Sky” by Dan and Lizzie. Interment took place in Melville City Cemetery with Wayne Remanda as urn bearer. Arrangements were entrusted to Matthews Funeral Home, Melville.

It’s an unfortunate fact of life that there tends to be a correlation between an aging population and hospitalization rates. With Canada being com-prised of an ever-growing number of senior citizens, it’s important to know what’s causing these hos-pital visits so we can help address these causes as a society.

Nov. 6 - 12 is National Senior Safety Week and this year, the Canada Safety Council is shed-ding light on the most common causes of inju-ry-related hospitaliza-tions among seniors. As a demographic, Canadi-ans over the age of 65 are disproportionately repre-sented in hospitalization statistics, which prompts the question: what can we do to help?

According to Statistics Canada, seniors aged 65 and above account for 35 per cent of our popu-lation - and this number is likely to continue its upward trend in the near future.

And yet, according to new research by the Cana-dian Institute for Health, this same demographic is represented in 51 per cent of all injury-related hospitalizations in Can-ada in 2017-2018. (Hospi-talization is defi ned as a patient being admitted and spending at least one night in the hospital.)

An overwhelming ma-jority of these 137,568 cases were fall-related, too - a whopping 81 per cent of all senior injury hospitalizations in 2017-2018 were due to falls. Comparatively, falls rep-

resent only nine per cent of all injury hospitaliza-tions in Canada between 2015 and 2018.

“In an aged population there are many infl uences that contribute to falls and injuries” said Gareth Jones, president of the Canada Safety Council.

“The valued and often vulnerable members of this segment of our so-ciety rely on assistance and proactive measures to ensure their safety and ultimately their quality of life. Let’s work together and do our part to assist.”

If you’re helping to take care of a senior, fall prevention must be at the forefront of your mind. Between physical conditions, deteriorating health and potential med-ication side-effects, falls can be much more likely to occur. Follow these tips and you won’t have to live in fear of dealing with the repercussions of a serious fall.

• Physical activity can reduce the chances of a fall. Gentle exercise can improve fl exibility, bal-ance and muscle strength; all of these are important factors in maintaining

stability.•Make sure living

areas are well-illumi-nated. Bright lighting makes it easier to spot po-tential trip hazards ahead of time and avoid them. This should include a bed-side lamp within reach of the bed, hallways, stair-cases and bathrooms. Consider keeping a few fl ashlights in easy-to-fi nd places as well.

•Along those same lines, keep living areas as clear and free of trip hazards as possible. Keep furniture, boxes, electrical cords and any loose objects away from high-traffi c areas. Loose rugs should be secured with double-sided tape or tacks to avoid slipping.

• Invest in a good pair of non-slip shoes. While convenient and com-fortable, slippers and slick-soled shoes can be contributing factors in falls, as can wearing only socks. Comfortable non-slip shoes can also reduce joint pain and contribute toward more stability.

• Install rails, grab bars and other assistive devices around the house, especially high-mobility areas like staircases and bathtubs. For everyday use, consider a cane or a walker as well.

A healthy senior com-munity benefi ts all Cana-dians and eases the strain on our healthcare system. It’s our responsibility to ensure that we’re doing our part to keep our loved ones out of harm’s way!

With winter’s arrival, there are fewer visitors to The Gallery on Sherbrooke Street in Wolseley; so local artists are spending more time passing on their knowledge to others. Several members from the co-op-erative art guild host classes, providing opportunities for aspiring artists to learn a variety of techniques.

Earlier this fall, Gail Hazzard taught a group how to paint a reversible scarecrow-snowman décor and later this month she will lead a macramé feather wall hanging class. In December, another member will teach a class how to decorate Christmas balls using alcohol paints. The Gallery will also host a Christ-mas Gala Open House on December 7, with coffee and treats for people to enjoy as they browse the many unique items at the shop, in search of special gifts for family and friends. Classes resume after the holidays

with a teddy bear making workshop in January, and quilting classes in February and March.

The Gallery’s schedule also includes weekly youth classes on Friday afternoons for ages 6 years old and up. The children learn how to paint with acrylics, create collages and other types of artwork. “They did such a great job in October, painting pumpkins and then doing a paint pour on the pumpkins,” Gaye Moss, multi-media artist and president of The Gal-lery, told the Herald Sun. “It was so popular that I got invited to go to the nursing home in Wolseley and do it there.”

The sessions are open to the public, but pre-regis-tration is recommended to ensure enough materials are available for each participant. There is a fee for each class, since most of the materials are provided for each project. For more details about the classes or to register, contact Gaye Moss 306-698-2026 or [email protected]

Saskatchewan has been granted leave to intervene in the Trans Mountain pipeline expan-sion hearing before the Federal Court of Appeal in support of the pipe-line’s construction.

Saskatchewan will be intervening in support of the federal government by arguing that the project was properly approved. The Federal Court will hear arguments on whether the federal gov-ernment adequately con-sulted with First Nations.

“Saskatchewan will make submissions to the Federal Court of Appeal on the need to fairly bal-ance the duty to consult with other matters of pub-lic interest, such as trans-portation infrastructure,” Justice Minister and At-torney General Don Mor-gan said. “Projects like Trans Mountain create a stronger economy that

allow the federal and pro-vincial governments to invest in programs and initiatives like health and education.”

Saskatchewan sup-ports the construction of the Trans Mountain pipe-line expansion. Without new pipeline capacity, demand for rail trans-portation will continue to increase, putting cost pressures on to oil pro-ducers as well as other rail-transport dependent industries, such as the agriculture and mining sectors.

In a keynote speech to the National Coalition of Chiefs Energy and Nat-ural Resources Summit in Calgary today, Sas-katchewan Energy and Resources Minister Bron-wyn Eyre spoke to the importance of the Trans Mountain Expansion project for landlocked provinces such as Sas-katchewan and the op-portunities for greater participation from Indig-enous communities on natural resource projects.

“The Trans Moun-tain Pipeline Expansion Project is in the interest of all Canadians,” Eyre said in her speech. “En-ergy projects, including pipeline projects, are a source of prosperity. Our government continues to advocate for vital energy infrastructure, which

supports national unity and enhances the Sas-katchewan and Canadian economy.”

In 2018, the lack of access to tidewater cost

Saskatchewan producers approximately $3.7 billion in lost revenue and cost the Government of Sas-katchewan $250 million in lost taxes, royalties and

other revenue. The pro-posed $9.3 billion Trans Mountain Expansion Project would increase capacity from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000

barrels per day, provid-ing significant benefit to landlocked Canadian pro-ducers.

The hearing is sched-uled for December.
